Typings of a wayward hand

i thought i drove rash. well my dad goes up to 70 km/h in 2nd gear in his sentra. sent him and my mom to the brunei airport on thursday for their haj, on friday morning his friend sent use to the brunei muara jetty, took catamaran ferry at 9am to labuan, then went sightseeing there. went to the labuan bird park, the marine muzeum, the chimney( some old relic built when the area was a coal mine) and it was all free. got to pet a nurse shark, and the skin wasnt really tough. while taking wuduk, watch fell, went haywire. damn swatch was celebrating its 1st year anniversary. bought it in december 2004, dead in dec 2005. it had some special mechanics in it, so when it fell everything just screwed up. for those who’ve played with it, u know how the mechanic works. tapping on the dial will move the fingers to the alarm time and the on/off indicator. zzzzzzzzz… arrived at kl after half hour delay, uncle picked us up, went to his house in putrajaya for dinner, took my car and drove to my aunt’s in tmn permata lembah keramat, missed the exit to kl, arrived after 2 hours, at 11pm, and my sis took her car and drove with my aunt to my grandma’s. slept the whole day today. woke up and cant sleep until now (4.46am) haha.

the house. havent really described the house in brunei yet. haha. not too small, large land area. large enough for a 3×1 meter pond with cascading waterfall (cement), 2 coconut trees, 1 mango, and tons of other trees. basically more than i would use. the house is a 2 storey building with 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 1 study room, 3 store rooms, 1 maid room, two living rooms, 1 dining room. the maid room, 1 bathroom and 1 store is only accessible from outside, meaning that if there is a maid staying, she cant access the other parts of the house from her room. and the house has 4 entrances, 1 from the front, 1 from the car porch, and 2 from the kitchen. all the bathrooms got bathtub and water heater (yeah!!!) got enuff parking space for about 15 cars (no joke, can park at the front, side, or back of the house)

tomorrow my parents are going for their haj, yesterday night had tahlil and doa selamat reading. and i’m leaving the next day. so guys cya in kl. soon. hurm.

overclocked my  p42.4A processor to 3.06ghz.woot. now for the ram and graphics. for graphics nid to download software, the rest can be done in the pc mainboard bios. but my ram is kvr (kingston value ram), so the timing and oc-ability sux. tried playing around with my dad’s laptop, but the mainboard bios locks everything. and most of the cooking i’ve been doing was with the oven. sometimes i do a bit of frying. and since my dad is now diabetic, the only cooking oil available at home is canola oil and olive oil. all the tv cooking shows (not malaysian one lar, on channel 11 one lar) that i watch use olive oil to fry stuff. and honestly i have to say there isnt much of a difference in taste compared to the normal vegetable oil. canola is also the same. the only difference i could notice was that olive oil isnt as thick as normal vegetable oil. health wise i dont care. i never read any lables about the calories, cholestoral or sugar. too young for that i guess. hahaha. yesterday made chicken chop, the only non ox/cow/4footed mammal stuff that i cooked this holidays! used chicken breast, no marinate, just dipped in beated egg, then covered with corn flour, and pan fried. not too bad, it was the 1st time making it. and everything tastes better when you cook it yourself. hahaha. wasnt restaurant quality food but i liked it. only downside was normal sauce, and no marinate. too lazy. later at midnight had my usual steak, this time added mushrooms and baked it longer while drowning it in the specially made apple rojak sauce.

the other day went out to some restaurant named london kebab. 7 ppl went, nobody had kebab. i had lamb donor, my parents had beef luleh (i dunno what that means), my dad’s friend had chicken donor, and my sis had cod roe & fries with scallop potatoes. the lamb was grounded beef. and it was wrapped in pita like bread. and ground beef kinda sucks. it doesnt taste fresh and juicy after being processed. the cod roe was dipped in batter and deep fried. it was really good. well anything that has anything to do with fish eggs taste good. aint that rite? the beef luleh was about the same as my lamb donor. and yesterday we went out and bought crabs. huge crabs. and just last night we had dinner at some all in one restaurant. i had the tempura set, which was squid, prawns, crab meat and vegetables dipped in batter and fried. it came  with beancurd soup, salad with thousand island sauc, the thin soy sauce and some herbal tea. that had no sugar. my family all chose normal food (western). my sis had sirloin steak with black pepper and mushroom sauce, my aunt had chicken rice, my mom had sambal chicken, and my dad had fish and chips. i was tempted to try the other asian cuisine like udon, ramen, sushi and kimchi but i stuck to tempura cuase it was the safest option i guess. and the ramen and udon were noodles, which meant that they were wet, which meant that it was easier for me to vomit. yes ladies and gentlemen i have to watch what i eat and drink. and when. the doctor told me to drink half an hour after eating so that it would be easier to digest and lower the chance of me vomiting. i cut the time to 5 minutes and there were a few missed chances. but i managed to keep it all in. thankfully. must be the herbal tea. it was included in the set, but i also ordered lemon tea, so lotsa tea means lotsa piss. and almost every night i eat steak. midnight and mornings actually. got 6kg of beef to finish b4 the 15th. my parents will be going for their haj for a month so they wanna clear up the fridge. my blog posts for the holidays should be called jalan2 cari makan brunei version. heh. well i’m not paying for the food so i can order whatever i want, just as long as we go to the right restaurant. the only other thing other than eating, sleeping, watching tv and cooking is weeding and a bit of gardening. yesh i’ve been doing some. but only coz my mom told me to. well cya until the next post.
