A quick check on wikipedia says the shells we ate isn't oysters...its mussels!!
this is an oyster
this is a mussel

BUT....a quick look at the sentence below reveals something else..
....As for all shellfish, mussels should be alive just before theyre cooked because they quickly become TOXIC after they die...

just Great!!lets hope my liver works well...

wat an eventful day today..mom's car rolled over some sharp metal and burst a tyre... and i did a tyre transplant surgery..Alone!! no thanks to the Proton carjack also.really made by pros...turn non-stop for 15 minutes barely can jack up a bit.. took like 40 minutes of workout to change the bloody tyre.. then go to workshop...'boss..hole too big la..cannot repair..must change..' haih..RM 145 gone just like that....

finally got my convo photos..i must say..the chancellor's look with the specs halfway down the nose looks kinda horny...haha..the group pic was not bad though...

Sheng Wa and i finally decided to cook instead of watching Fantastic 4...so we went to Bangsar to get some quality ingredients...and 2 chefs started the work...cooking all the stuff in the proper order probably saved us 30 mins...so...step 1..plan ahead.

cook the mash potatoes, bake the oysters, cut up the capsicumThen..grill the chicken...fry the asparagus...

and in less than 1 hour...u got a Heavenly dish of grilled honey chicken with asparagus...baked oyster with garlic and cheese...chilled shrimp cocktail...mashed potatoes...asparagus fried with butter...All for Rm 13!!...and the taste...absolutely AWESOME!!
still cant help but wonder...should i open a restaurant??

After going to Penang annually..theres still lots of places ive yet to explore...for instance...Butterfly Farm..not really an important tourist spot...but really eye opening nonetheless..
of cos..in a butterfly farm..u got Butterflies...this is the mating process..it takes 4-5 hours!! freaky horny buggers...we even tried to kacau them..but still..die osso dun separate..
and mating bugs too.. Woon Lee challenged me to pick up the milipede.. and guess what... it wasnt too bad..

quite eye opening...itll be better if i get to see butterflies popping out of the pupa...but well..next time la..

What we really need..(after baking in Seremban for 3 months..) is simply a night in Forest Field!! yeah..the name says it..cold...airconless...fresh air...and of cos..some entertainment in the form of CnC....

well..before i get the pictures to tell u all bout all the fun details about Penang..all the food, parks... let me describe an interesting thing that happened on day 2...

ok..i gotta admit 1st..my drawing is Bad... but its better than just words..

so...on the way to Taiping Zoo..since i was asleep...i didn see the dog...at that speed and the sound i hear..it must been a hard knock.. not onli that...we hear a dragging sound below the car...i came down of the car..expecting some minced meat below the car...or a bloody trail...None...except scratches and damages to the bumper..and a missing fog light..!!
however..on inpection of the damage...the fog light was actually in a concave compartment..the bumper is jutting out above and below the light...and it literally got ejected out!! dunno flew where osso.. quite impossible..must be a sharp point impact..so..heres my theory..

the dog must have looked at the car..and the dog's snout must have acted like a hammer...banging the light out!!
even wierder...theres an unknown engine part stuck below!! looks like a wiper water can..or radiator.. but its too big for his car!! and its empty..dry.. and filled with some sand!! Joo Ee claimed not to see it b4 knocking the dog.. but how on earth it became stuck undereath there??!

It certainly unfortunate that we got into this... but i agree with Brian and Woon Lee.. its either us or the dog.. and its probably the best outcome..if brake...we might have a back collision..if avoid...were into oncoming traffic.. so...thank God for the protection... and it didn dampen our trip after all!!

From the latest Reader's digest... on how to tackle exams stress..and how practical i think it is..

1. Stay healthy.. that means no caffeine pumped nights..eating well..sleeping well..acceptable
2. Be a wiser reviser...
test yourself... with what? unless all lecturers publish their own mcq book... we gotta use our imagination..
use ur imagination... ok...so its needed after all.. osso imagine the classroom and imitate the lecturer..hey..we do that pretty well!!
listen to music... been doing that a lot too
summarise it...well..we dun have notes anymore.. so..again..summarise wat?
night nerves... dun start revising new things b4 exam.. ull get panic and feel threatened...sympathetic overload..
3. on Exam day....
use ur lucky charm...so far i have none...Desmond's exams prayers used to be of great help..now that hes gone.. we need a replacement.. Tek Jee..its ur turn.
chew gums... eer..is it allowed 1st..

see? easier to write..harder to do.

me: swelling on the PIP, MCP joint....
Dr Loh: Look for deformities la....
Me:.........( okok...cool down.. turn hands around.. turn hands back. turn hands sideways.. look look..cant see anything..start to sweat..)
Dr Loh: deformities got names wan la.. wat is it??!!
Me: ooh. ulnar deviation...(i think one of the fingers looks crooked...)
Dr Loh: (shakes head.... angry/ dissapointed look..) 5 minutes up...
Me: thank you.. :(((

Body odor..aka BO...is something that i guess onli the person sitting next to u would know best about.. i can confidently say i dun have it...trust me..i know ppl who can vividly describe an odour...dun mind telling it to ur face.. and possibly letting the world know!! wat an embarassing experience it would be...gosh!! and its probably linked to bad hygiene or something of that sort...which makes it worse!!.. in primary skool..whole class would be avoiding and gossiping the hell out of a smelly kid..



but on the other hand...all i got so far are samples of branded or some supermarket eau de toilette... so i was definately delighted when my parents came back from Japan and got me these!!! looks great..smells like a million bucks.. but i havent actually sprayed it yet...ill do that tomolo!!PURE...

maybe i am blessed with the lack of a sensitive nose... i mean.. i dun actually remember anyone who particularly smells horrible with BO... unless in very close range.. and i actually sniffed at the fella!! what a thing to do!! but i Have..however...came across many patients who suffers from infections, non healing ulcers..u name it..and at a certain point.. i can even recognise what bed sores smells like! all the rotten meat and a few fish markets added together..thats how it smells like... anyway, the point is... smells can give an impression.. just like a persons looks. good smelling ppl are generally nice to be with... and ppl generally shunt away from bad smelling ppl... and so.. judging a person by the smell = judging a book by the cover!! and of cos...telling ppl that they smell bad is like telling ppl they look bad...that could be so heart stabbingly hurting!!

so as we treat all colors the same.. lets try to treat all smells the same way too!! judge not...and you will not be judged.
