Soo's back!! ^^

Brief update... my beloved Soo Sew Theng is back in KK... ^^ I don't have many pictures yet, but I will keep you guys updated when i do...

Cheers!! ^^

Gathering at Yoyo cafe ( as if we really have nowhere else to gather >.<) on the 21st of july 2010... with Mr Teh and Mr Chung as well...

1st Gathering this holiday

First gathering since i came back for this holiday. Here i shall post pics even if Mr Teh doesn't want me to. >.<


This is one thing in Yoyo which no one should ever order... it's called a Pearl Ice i think... and it's so sweet that your tongue threatens to fall right off... and this is how it looks when it's almost completely melted... when it first got to the table, it looked as if Rylai had blasted her freezing field over it. =.="

Anyway, these are the people who attended....

Mr Chung, Ms Chieng, Mr Teh, Mr Ong, Mr Lee and myself...

Corn

Hi again!! I've been on holiday for some time, but haven't done much blogging.. >.< Mostly because there isn't much to blog about... and no pictures worth taking... though it DID flood a couple of weeks ago.... which... i have one picture of...


Anyway, it's one of those lazy days... and i was wondering what to have for lunch... when suddenly i had an urge to gobble down lots of Corn... of all things... and that's exactly what i did... ^^

Being in KL for long stretches of time, one of the things i miss is corn... not actually sweet corn, but rather the fat, stunted cousin of the sweet corn... Hehe... Jagung pulut...
and so, i drove down to Foh Sang and got RM4 worth of that stuff... a total of 7 ears... ^^


Well... like any other corn, i need to start off by cleaning these.... notice how short and fat they are?? I doubt they actually get much bigger than this.... and that tuft of 'hair' that sticks out is just cute... haha....

The difference is.... this corn is best prepared boiled... not steamed, like sweet corn... probably because the kernels are actually quite tough and don't pop like that of regular sweet corn... but somehow i prefer these....

hehehhe.... FOOD!!! Am i gonna eat all that by myself?? Well, since it's lunch, that's the idea!! ^^

While waiting... in other news..

the canine displayed below is one of the finalists in the running for the title of World's Stupidest Dog... =.="... this refers to the white one with black spots...
Finally!! ^^


All this talk of corn and eating corn reminds me of a line... can any of you recognize it...? ^^

Mort: [voice-over] "I know I can do it," Todd Downey said, helping himself to another ear of corn from the steaming bowl. "I'm sure that in time, every bit of her will be gone and her death will be a mystery... even to me."

HELLO again!! ^^

...Anyone with the knowledge as to how to blog via mobile, with the ability of actually uploading pics and videos for the posts? cuz the one i get only has words... =.=" that wouldn't be quite sufficient... after all, having 100% words with no pictures makes me post seem somewhat like... rant?


In other news.... there hasn't really been anything interesting going on with my life lately... so i shall blog about the most "special" mundane thing i had come across...

Anyone here a fan of CORNED BEEF? ^^
I'm not sure about how things are in KL, but back in KK, i know corned beef doesn't normally cost much... but down here, they don't carry the brand which i eat back home... and the only ones they carry have prices starting from RM7... which is A LOT to pay for corned beef....

However, the one that caught my eye next took 'expensive Corned beef' to a WHOLE new level... >.<

Observe.... Carrefour... and two brands of Reasonable looking Corned beef, both from BRAZIL...


And the fact that one's on PROMOTION!! ^^

However... notice the fact that the Price box in the "promosi" sign is left empty... hmmm...

Solution : Do a price check at the scanner....



So this can came up to about RM7++... pain... for corned beef... but... still 'buyable'...

Next, the red can...


...Are you able to see the price the scanner is showing...? This is the can that was on Promotion...


Sorry for the blur picture, but this was the best i could do... my phone camera did NOT like the brightness of the scanner screen.... the display is showing "RM 250.00"....

What corned beef is this???? RM250??? That's daylight robbery....

(hint: click to enlarge the picture... you'll get a better view of the numbers that way)
...even the Sultan of Brunei would think that was overkill.... the only explanation which somewhat made sense can from Aaron Chelliah...."Ini lembu dari Kayangan...."

=.="

Moral of the story.... avoid awkward moments at the checkout counter by checking the price of any item which you're not already sure about... no matter HOW INNOCENT they may look....
