Today me and lester -
Sidetrack: I'm aware that to be grammatically accurate, I should be writing "Lester and I". But I'm sure many of you have noticed that, when I write or speak or sms, I have a tendency to put "me" first. Well, thats because I do la. Put myself first, I mean. I'm egocentric, I know (I can see Priscilla nodding her head). Can't help it, thats the way I am. If my slight egocentricity is hurting anyone, feel free to tell me, though. Most of its just in my head anyway (i think). Yea just to make that clear.
- went to Lucky Plaza to try and get rid of old handphones.
They quoted me a ridiculously low price for my old Nokia N-gage, just because the covers scratched and the rubber bumper is sorta loose. Cheapskates. On the other hand we noticed a lady looking to buy an ngage for her son, so we approached her to see if her son wants to buy my ngage cheap. Hope that works out.
Anyway, I also traded my super antiquated Sony Erisson T310 for a nokia handphone-to-usb cable. So that means I can post photos I've taken from my handphone now! Whoop de doo! Like this one (sorry can't resist):
My bro has a sweeeeeeeeet car.
And here are some pics I took in KL.
The soaring symbol of Kuala Lumpur's metropolitan status, as a world city as well as financial and political centre of Malaysia. And it gave me a crick in my neck when I tried to see the top.
Ramly Ayam Double Special. Looks like crap but its so damned good. I feel like there should be a punchline here but I can't think of anything funny to say. Maybe something like "Just like me" except I don't think I look like crap (refer to above under "egocentricity").
Fishballs made from saitou fish. Yummmmmmmmmmm. Like swedish meatballs, but white and bouncy and fishy smelling.
My travelling companion. She was kind enough to post lots of unflattering pictures of me on her blog (before you ask, I'm not going to link to it). But I shall be magnanimous and not put my formidable photoshop skills to task and, say, add horns or flames billowing from her nostrils. After all, I'm not childish (besides its 1.15am and I'm tired). Her penchant for taking sneaky photos of me aside, she was pretty good company la, so all ye defenders of JD don't need to flame her la huh =p
This is my favourite shot. I call it "Stag in KL Deer Park going 'What the f**k?' when interrupted from serene contemplation of whatever stags contemplate by kaypoh Singaporean tourists taking pictures of his butt".
OK thats it. Sleep time. I would actually be sleeping already now, except that the Spaghetti Carbonara I made for dinner was a bit too heavy. Sigh. Mental note: next time, less potato, more mushroom.
Just back from KL
I came back from KL last night! On the whole it wasn't a bad trip, aside from some hiccups (such as the bloody bus driver deserting us at the Singapore customs on the way back), and i had lots of good food!
Ramly burgers are incredible! Bloody unhealthy and fattening, I think, but so bloody tasty! After intense observation (and with the help of a friendly cook) let me present:
----------
The Ramly Special Burger Recipe!
The Stuff You Eat
Burger Bun
Ramly Patty (I suppose any patty will do actually. Any meat will do, too.)
Cucumber (3 slices)
Lettuce (1 piece)
Tomato (1 slice)
Onions (Sliced, I think he used normal red onions)
Egg (1 raw)
The Extra Punch
Margarine
Pepper
BBQ Sauce (Or Teriyaki Sauce)
Seseme Oil
Mayo
Ketchup
Tools of the Trade
Grill (Hot & greased, baby, just the way I like it)
Spatula
The Grilling
1) Melt a blob of margarine onto the heated grill
2) Grill the patty in margarine, gently press it with your spatula once in awhile. Flip when browned.
3) Butter burger bun halves, grill butter side down. Gently press it once in awhile too! But don't crush it! Remove when golden brown.
4) Slice the patty nearly in half, flip it open so it resembles a figure 8. Throw some pepper, BBQ sauce, sesame oil on the inside, then grill the inside of the patty. Add more margarine if needed.
5) Close the patty when browned. Continue grilling the outside. Add pepper, BBQ sauce, sesame oil. Move patty to the side.
6) Crack an egg on the margarine greased portion of the grill. Scramble it and spread it so its about the size of three patties by three patties.
7) When the egg is done, place the patty in the middle of the omelette and fold it over the patty.
Assembly of the Burger
1) On the grilled burger bun, place a slice of cucumber, then tomato, then add some mayo and ketchup. Then add the piece of lettuce and the sliced onions. Then, place the completed patty-in-egg on top, and top it off with more mayo and ketchup if you like.
Eat
1) Be warned. Its going to be damned messy.

Lol. Okay la I think its correct! But I didn't get a chance to confirm la. Haha. Kinda regretting it now.
Anyway you guys going Perth with me, I'm gonna try out this recipe over there, baby!
Sweeeeeet.
Well. I also got some nice clothes there! Two CK polo tees, one OP polo tee and one Abercrombie & Fitch muscle tee. Oh and a canvas belt I was forced to buy cos I left my belt back home and my pants were falling =p And a fake Adidas jacket that apparently makes me look gay haha.
Not too bad though. At least I got three nice polo tees =p
Big Freakin' Samosa
The cold case actress is pretty.
Anyway, yesterday was a good day. I got my pink IC, settled all my Australian trip business, and found a nice old malay man selling big freaking samosas off a bike:
Thats a 50 cent coin, for comparision. Big freaking samosa!
And today, I got a new phone! Nokia 6170. I'll put a photo up, except most of you who read my blog would see it sooner or later anyway =) Unlike the big freaking samosa, which has been eaten. Lol.
WTF. Sigh.
This morning, I woke up groggy. Went to the bathroom and squeezed Loreal Extreme Fixing Radical Gel onto my toothbrush. Sigh.
Saw a Qantas promoton in the papers, advertising $270 tickets to Perth. Went online and couldn't book the promotional tickets. Called the number on the ad and got a busy signal. Sigh.
Only found out hours later when they FINALLY updated the Qantas Singapore site that the number on the advertisement was wrong. And upon calling them, also found out that the site is having problems so I'll have to wait if I wanna book the tickets online. Wait to book online, and risk not getting cheap tickets. Book by phone, and pay a surcharge as well as feel stupid once the online tickets appear in abundance. Sigh.
The kiam-pah-face redneck still isn't voted out of American Idol. Sigh.
At least I make good bruschetta!
Life lesson on the PIE
Just now I was driving Lester home from doing business stuff (or rather watching Soldier, eating prata then watching Desperate Housewives heh), we encountered a jam on the PIE.
It was a pretty big jam, apparently caused by some accident on the pie.. basically the two inner lanes were blocked.
I hate it when the signs tell you that certain lanes are blocked and some jerks insist on taking them anyway, then forcing their way into the open lanes later on. Those people really piss me off.
So when some asshole in a white Honda VTEC forced his way in front of me, forcing me to brake hard to avoid a collison, I got pretty annoyed and blasted my horn for awhile. Granted I could have let him past, but the rude buggers like him shouldn't be encouraged, you know, letting them think its easy to do the inconsiderate thing.
So I let it get on my nerves.
BUT.
Lester pointed out that someone had passed away in the unfortunate accident.
And that kinda put things into perspective for me..
I know its corny, but damn it, life IS short, transient even. And it really is simply so stupid to let little things get at you, annoy you.
I gotta learn to just let things slide.
Sorta wino-wannabe
