Looks like I’ve only got 18 more exotic foods to try. Almost half of those foods are rather common and available
at most restaurants. I had wonderful homemade Mexican food at my American
friend’s house. Clam chowder is something like a thick creamy soup (my mouth is
starting to water). Stuff like shark (fin), scallops and other seafood is rather
common in Chinese dishes. I love salmon sushi {Emy, bila nak pegi sushi date nih? dari dulu plan kita tak jadi}. I’ve eaten deer cooked with ginger {does it count as reindeer?}….was ok, tastes a bit like beef.

Maybe someone can bring an Australian meat pies from Sydney for me? {*hint
hint* while you’re at it, I’d love some nougats too :P}
Kangaroo? I think i saw kangaroo
jerky while I was in Brisbane {eeee..wonder how that tastes like?}.
Barramundi is native to Australia too isn’t it?

I dont think i’ll hv the heart to eat guinea pigs (i didnt even kno they were
edible!), they’re too cute. Wonder what Moreton Bay Bugs are? Is there a Greek restaurant in KL?

Puteri dtg lagi dari Penang utk interbiu dier kat cyberjaya utk some kerja (dier sendiri pon tatau position kerja tu..dier main pegi interbiu je…hampeh tul). Tak sangka dier org kluar pegi tgk movie tak ajak aku :(( aku rasa tersisih :(( Takpela…ada lori, ada bas..lain hari aku balas…muahahaha *evil laugh*

Anyways….mamabat ajak pegi umah dier utk parti ikan keli. Dier nie takleh dtg sbb dier nak pegi outstation. Org lain plak memang tak dijemput so jgn terhegeh-hegeh tanya “apasal tak ajak aku?” (kecuali Normah si kawan Linn tu..dier amat dialu-alukan). Byk sgt makanan Bat masak nih…ada ikan keli goreng rangup ngan cili (piring besar), Udang+Petai (aku first time makan petai..taste ok..kinda sedap gak), Kangkung sebaldi (serious…ada sebaldi tu), Sayur ngan sotong, Soup (nie utk anak Bat tapi si Linn pegi makan gak). Aku first time makan ikan keli…bantai 2 ekor…smua org siap minta tambah nasi. Best siot…

best plak baca blog entry si Puteri nie. Aku dok baca pon rasa marah. Hello if you cant take joking banter, please go shove something up ur arse,preferably something long and hard like this. I remembered a time i had a very insulting comment on my tagboard but i manage to find out where it was from. And that person was probably jealous :P

One more thing the online world is an open one..and its common for information to be distributed. So if you have a website/blog/photo album online be aware of the risks of information being distributed. If you would like ur blog to be friends only, open a blog in LiveJournal coz it offers an option for your posts to be public, friends only or private.

I had a rough week the past week been sick on and off and lotsa assignments were due (some overdue coz they completely slipped my mind). I’ve been lazy and lifeless and sometimes i just feel like screaming (i should try it one day out my 12th floor window).

I must snap out of this…and soon….exams are coming up.

On sunday was Andre’s bday so we had potluck at her place…she lives within walking distance. I hvnt met Andre & Sid for a long time since I before i went back to Miri - i turned down too many of their invitations that they finally didnt bother to ask me out anymore i guess :P - then we went to watch Starwars, Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith (eh is that correct?). Im a “starwars virgin” la..never watched any episode before…but this one is pretty good. Anakin is so wimpy tho…lol

I hv exams on the 31st, 2nd, 6th, 7th and 11th. And I hv an assignment due today (which im left with 10% more) an assignment due tomorrow (its an online website assignment) , a presentation on my cybercrime law and also a business management assignment due this Friday (27th). Oh Joy! *sarcastic*

But in the midst off all that hustle bustle, i have a satay dinner planned on the 29th and a potluck dinner planned for 30th nite (im making cheesecake hopefully). Yay!!

Not to mention a friend in the US says she’s going to get me an iPod for my birthday in September. Hehehe….dont get jealous mervy :P

Yang dua org tu..letak recipe…tak letak gambar…so aku letak gambar..tapi tak letak recipe. Linn, lain kali aku try recipe ko laks…

AuntyN’s Creme Caramel (nie aku kopipes dari blog ko ya AN :P)

Gambar yg kiri tu lepas dah kukus…….yg kat kanantu lepas aku terbalikkannya….actually aku lupa nak tunggu dier cool down sbelum terbalikkan..so dier hancur skit. Pastu aku lupa lak letak gula dlm step (5) so dier tak cukup manis. Takpe…next time leh try lagi :P

Note : On my 2nd attempt, i tapis-ed the egg and the texture was nicer and smoother.

*I actually wrote this post some time ago but it dissapeared. Then the 2nd time i wrote it, my internet connection in the uni died on me. The 3rd time i wrote it offline, i was almost finished then my PC hanged and i lost most of it. Now i know how he feels when his post is always lost*

I went out with a few online friends yesterday (Saturday). First I met up with Zam (leri) at Low Yat. I’ve met Zam before for lunch at KLCC and he’s a nice guy and very good in this IT/Computer things so i brought him to help me look around for HDs & DVD Burners. But then my dad said he’s getting my cuzzie to get it from me so I met leri thr and decided to just walk around

Then Al Reiko (yes that’s his real name) called saying that Hafiz (who’s staying in UK but is in KL for the week) and him were in Lot 10 so the 4 of us went to the Coffee Bean nearby for some drinks. I had my usual - The Ultimate ice blended - and hafiz paid for our drinks.

We had a fun time laughing and talking till it was around 10pm. We decided to go to “the best nasi lemak in KL” (which i forgot whr) and took the monorail there. Leri had to go take his car from KLCC tho. We had our dinner/supper thr. Im not a big nasi lemak fan but the rice was really “lemak” tho the sambal was just mediacore. The beef rendang was yummy and really pedas.

Then i had my first ota-ota (sp?). Its some fish thingy wrapped in some leaves and grilled. It was really yummy, between the 4 of us, we bantai 20 pieces. Its gelatin-like and like reddish.

After that we went cruising around KL to look at the sights and sounds in Leri’s car. Hafiz has not been back for the past 12 years or so so we pusing pusing around KL. We also stopped by in Concorde Hotel- where Hafiz was staying - because he wanted to make an international phone call back home to his wifey.

Concorde is a really nice hotel. There was this indian couple having their wedding dinner and everyone was wearing so nice lah, gowns, suits, sarees with glittery jewels. We saw a Ferrari parking outside Concorde and someone cracked this joke about ferileri/feleri coz Leri was ferrying us around.

Then went to Mydina restaurant near KLCC (JLn Pinang i think) sat and chit chatted somemore. Cracked lots of jokes - particularly about stuff and people in the chat room. Left at around 2.30am, sent Hafiz & reiko back to Concorde, got stuck in a jam twice in KL (road block & accident) and got back at 3.30am.

Got locked out…so had to sms my dad to open the door. Lucky he was too sleepy to get angry.
