The Heritage

Food... food... fooooooodddd...
i just love food
well here's another place i've just gone to recently.

BEFORE U PROCEED FURTHER... i would suggest that u prepare tissue... not to rub ur tears but ur SALIVA


it's called The Heritage
if u remember the very first Tsui Hua Lau and loved the food there.... then u should visit this place as it is opened by the chef of the very first Tsui Hua Lau...

The Heritage is located opposite Liwah Hotel... the Mandarin Restaurant at Ban Hock Road... if u dunno... then i should say it's opposite the ex- UPWELL
to be more accurate... it's behind a white building... i think is the brunei building or something...


The Heritage .... the exterior



the interior...


with a mini waterfalllll


and also a carved glass... GREAT ART!!!



Well... what did we order???


Deepfried prawn with yam....


Baked crab shell stuffed with crab meat and cheese and lot's more
it's only found at this place and u need pre order... not in the menu...



after being eaten... crab also has immortal love

then we have the seafood me.....also very nice

we also had the famous cold dish....

there's the drunken cold chicken... preserved squid... green japanese seaweed... then the sour, sour and spicy sea jelly... duck meat and also salad with prawn...

last but not least.. we also ordered the VERY VERY famous smoked fish... also only found here...

my parents are close to the captain of this place so we get to order something that's not in the menu :P

that's because when there was the first Tsui Hua Lau... it's like a family restaurant... every occasion is held there..... YEAH

Useless parts of a human's body

i was skimming through the Live Science website when i came accross an interesting article..
it's about the top 10 useless limbs or vestigial organs of any living being..
then out of this ten... four came from us human...

the first one... the human tailbone
according to the article, tailbones in any animals are meant for balancing.. but for human, the tailbone is just to small to do any balancing....i was said that this tailbone is a vestigial limb from our ancestors. as they started to walk straight, the tailbone shrinks until it reaches the size like wat we have.

the second useless part...wisdom teeth
wisdom teeth is said to be useless and only brings pain. wisdom teeth is considered to be vestigial because in the past, our ancestors have bigger jaws so it fits more teeth.. also dental hygiene was not important in the past... so having extra teeth maybe useful to replace the rotten ones. but now, we brush teeth more than twice a day and visit the dentist a few times in a year, wisdom teeth became useless.

the third useless part... male breast tissues and nipples.
men do not need to go through breast feeding and men's nipples do not cause much sexual stimulation...so according to the researchers, they are useless. however, men have breast tissues because during the early stage, a foetus is sexless. only in the later stage, then the sexual organs developed determining whether it's a girl or boy. despite the fact that male breast tissues are pretty useless, they may be harmful because both male and female may develop breast cancer.

last but not least... the appendix
appendix is useful for herbivors for digestion... but for humans, they are just useless.. according to a paleontologist, appendix do play a major role..... as a financial support for surgical professions. other than that, it's just useless... also, appendix maybe dangerous to as it has brought a lot of deaths

after reading these, i realised that it's rather true...

Causeway Bay Hong Kong Restaurant

went to this restaurant with my family for lunch recently. it can be said quite a new restaurant cause it's opened only one or two months ago. there were so many people.. for the past three times i've been there, still there's a lot of customers. this restaurant belongs to the Lok Thian tauke... really arr.. this tauke is very innovative. he just brings in restaurants of different styles. there's hong kong style, shanghai style, japanese style, thai style and even the new one... indonesian style.



the entrance of the restaurant. this man just spoils the picture... he knew i was taking photo but he still walk past. look at the chairs in front. the tauke knew that this restaurant would be a great success so he provided "sit only" chairs for the customers to sit while waiting for the real "sit and eat" space.






getting to feel being in Hong Kong... but actually cannot larr...






people mountain people ocean... all enjoying their meal





this restaurant has got the modern design... really attracts people.


see all the food posters!!! and the lighting.



we ordered many types of food...



drinks first... we ordered jasmine tea and coffee. coffee was normal but the jasmine tea is unique!!


this is the most unique serving i've ever seen. made me felt like a frog..

then to the main courses...

mushroom chicken mee... quite big portion

hong kong style ham chicken porride with century egg.. NICE!! ordered two portions of this

third one

hot pan sizzling chicken noodle with black pepper sauce..

and last...

baked fish fillet rice with cheese... i like this most...ordered this everytime i come

we also ordered a few side dishes...

their famous dim sum.. siew bee and...


char siew bau... soft and fluffy when hot but when cold, harder than grade A brick... just joking!! i pretty much liked the bau.. eaten four out of the six we ordered.

besides char siew bau, we also ordered char siew puff..


didn't get to eat this cuz it's my mum's favourite... eaten zero out of six... sixkening

lastly and i mean to be the very last....


sago tart. this... i have no comment... i like it but my mom dislikes it.. it's delicious but difficult to eat. the sago drops out from it's cup.

anyway, i like the food there... should give it a 69.5% rating.. and the service also ok... at least no sour papayas. all together, everything cost my dad around 70 bucks..

2 in 1

according to the horoscope, i'm a Gemini... a star sign that symbolizes twins. and i think i'm a true Gemini-ian.. it's not that i have a twin brother or something but just that i have two opposite personalities.

it's like the character Niki Sanders in the series Heroes. she has two personalities. an aggressive and a gentle personality. but of course i don't have superhuman strength like she does. it's just that my personality switches naturally from time to time... just uncontrollable.

i can be a really sociable person and the talkative type and after a certain period of time, i would just become a shy and quiet person who prefers to be alone. i tried to overcome this sometimes but it will just happen like a reflex action.

my personality may not change when i'm with people whom i know really well but to people whom i know but not that well, that's the time. there're times when i would naturally greet them and talk to them but sometimes, my guts level would drop to point zero and will just walk pass them without even greeting them. i'm sorry but that's me. so please don't think that i'm the proud type who doesn't greet people. there're just times when my head would just look down by itself.

maybe it's also because of my braces. i will not greet people after meal in case there're some leftovers stuck between my braces

will try my best to change. currently i suppose it is 70% yang and 30%yin. really have to train myself to socialize well. u know... it's important rite?? my dream will need a lot of social skills and charisma. unlike laura.,... she talks to everyone even strangers.. although she's a little bit rrrrrrrr...

A blue moon experience

it's normal to experience blackout at home or at school... but at our workplace, that's rare... it's not the office kind of workplace but a western style restaurant which only starts opening in the evening. furthermore, the blackout happens on a Saturday where business is at it's peak... so... we cannot use blender, oven, fan, radio... but still we managed to do our business... our place is still full of customers. candles became our main source of light.

only then i realised how important electricity is to us..

the counter

the place where i make drinks

washing the dishes with the light from only one candle

the kitchen

* sorry larr... with only 1.3 mega pixels, these are the pictures i managed to get

however, on that night... the condition was different.. not a normal blackout.

God seems to be helping us.

During the afternoon, the weather was freaking hot but as the sunsets, it gets cooler... it almost rained but did not.. then there were cool breeze blowing constantly... replacing the fan. that's why we still receive customers... furthermore, the wind was not the kind of strong one... the candle manage to last for the hold night without being blown off by the wind. so no customers complained. in fact it was much cooler than the normal days when we use fans

and then at around nine, God showed us the nature's beauty. there was lightning striking... really beautiful ones but no thunder at all.. so it's just the pattern of lights brightening the dark sky. Really amazing..

here, i managed to take video of some the lightning..

the lightning is too fast so please be patient with the video...darkness most of the time

Fussy Customers

i've met all kinds of customers at the place where i'm working... some are extremely fussy ...

once, i served a couple... wahh... the lady was so fussy... the lady was the one who made the order and the guy just kept quiet.... she is a great eater but amazingly she still has got the sexy body??? maybe that's how she maintained them... by eating lots of protein

me: how may i help u???

lady: ummm... i would like to have a sirloin steak... 7 seconds.

me: ??!? ok.... (feeling surprised cuz i have never taken a 7 seconds order before. the seven second means the sirloin is put on the grill only for seven seconds... which means it's 90% rare)

lady: make sure it's 7 seconds ok.??

me: sure...

lady: and then, this steak comes with baked potatoes rite??

me: yeah...

lady: i don't want the baked potatoes. can u change it to mashed potatoes??

me: ok...

lady: and, give me one plate of beef spaghetti.

me: ok..

lady: put a lot of parsley on it... really lots of them..

me: ok..

lady: and i would also like to have a basket of garlic bread...

me: ok...

lady: oh yeah.. when u serve later, can u give me a little bit of olive oil... and mix the olive oil with a drop of black vinegar.. and also give me tobasco.

me: ok...( tired of writing). how about drinks??

lady: i would like to have ice blended banana... less sugar please...

me: ok... how bout u sir??

man: just give me a glass of ice water..

me: ok.

so i walked away... but the lady called me again..

lady: oh yeah by the way, can u fry me two eggs... i feel like eating eggs...

me: ok...( this is special order...not in the menu)

lady: i want the egg to be half raw... and make sure u don't break the egg yolks!!!

me: ok.... ( finally ended the order)

the lady has been doing all the order but the man only spoke one sentence... but actually they shared the food... the first round of fried egg was rejected because the egg does not look nice although the yolk did not break...

and i realised she ordered weird food... but still she maintained her shape... i think she doesn't believe in on dieting....

Inconsiderate customers

it was on the 6 july 2007.... like normal i went to work at 4.30 but on that day we actually had to work overtime.. can be considered that way because we had to wait until 12.30 for one table of customers to go, then to clean up that table. usually we would close at 10.30.

this table consist of 3 person. one woman and two old man... they came at 8.41 and sat until 12.30. what do they do??? talk while drinking wine (self brought wine). especially one old man. he talks really "big bombs" which we could hear from far....the other two talked less and we could actually see their sleepy expressions. the other old man kept on yawning and rubbing his face....

it's not that we earned a lot from them.. that we can still forgive them... but their bill is only RM33.50.. so little... and no tips..haishhh.... ok.. that is still ok... but one what's worse, the "big bomb" old man gave us something... not tips but FOUL AIR. this man wanted to use the washroom but he didn't know where the toilet was.. so he asked me and i told him... Instead of saying thank you, he farted in front of me... loud ones some more... not once but THREE TIMES.. can u imagine that?? well, i guess he's a really big bomber... not only from his mouth but also from his ass...

me and my colleagues were actually laughing out loud when we heard him. Well, how do we make them go?? we purposely turned off the radio and started taking back their wine glass.... only then they realise how long they've stayed.

but it's fun working there though... u can see all sorts of customers... fussy ones, funny ones, good ones.... and more.....

True Story - Living a Tough Life

this story is not about me, but about a guy whom i heard about, first hand, from my manager at my working place...

on the 5 July 2007, around 5 something, all the workers including me were all doing the settings, getting ready to open business.... while we're doing, a man approach our manager and then later settled down on a table. they started to communicate... not by mouth but by writing on the man's notepad... i was surprised... the guy looked really normal... with smart clothes and everything except the ability to talk and to hear.

they communicated quite a while and when he went back, our manager started telling us about this particular man.

it all started like this.... this man, he used to be a normal person... very normal. he's a Malaysian but his family migrated to New Zealand since he was young. so he completed his education from scratch in New Zealand... he used to be a fluent speaker but unfortunately one day, he was involved in an accident which broke his ear drum.... and from that day onwards, he totally lost his ability to speak. imagine that... for a person who can talk so well but one day, he found that he couldn't speak for the rest of his life.

a few years back, the whole family moved back to Malaysia. this was in fact a bad thing for him cuz he was raised in New Zealand, he had to start making friends all over again... and this is really hard for a person who is totally speechless...his social life was terrible.

well, this guy likes to bake a lot so he took some kind of cookery course and from there he met my manager. he was the student of my manager. according to her, this man can bake really well. despite being handicapped, he tried to find job in bakeries but failed most of the time. the reason the employers din want to employ him was because he couldn't hear the baking machines, which was an important part if u work in a bakery.

but finally he found a job in a bakery (dunno which bakery). but it's still not good for him... the workers there teased him a lot (ya larrr.. that's the stupid attitude of Malaysians)... this man couldn't do much with his disability so he always kept silent. sometimes when it got worse, he wanted to shout but couldn't so all he could do was just sigh... imagine that???

(that's why i seldom show my anger in front of others... always kept myself cool and happy... and i really hate people who always showed their anger in front of others ...and those who kept on complaining their personal problems to others. just keep it to urself.... see some people can't even do that but just bear with them). there are more people out there who suffer more. (btw is it bear or bare??? i'm confused...)

luckily this man met my manager. so whenever he has problem he would approach her and then they would discuss, like what they did that day.


Dear Readers,

SO... if u can see, hear and talk normally.... please feel grateful and appreciate them.... consider urself lucky and never rewind back to the past especially the BAD ones.... u see, this guy used to be a normal guy... how he wished if he could go back to the past but of course it's impossible. if u think u have a bad past, just forget them and look forward to the future.... let's just FOCUS on our present and future

And one more thing... NEVER EVER TEASE THOSE UNLUCKY PEOPLE. if we think we cannot help, just let them do whatever they can... but NEVER TEASE THEM!!! cuz we never know what might happen to us one day...

BRITNEY SPEARS, PARIS HILTON AND LINDSAY LOHAN.....

these three girls.... they're young... they're famous... they're rich.... and also they're WILD.....
there are so many gossips and news lately about these three stars..... not the good news but the BAD ONES.... i suppose everyone knows the stories...

about Paris Hilton going to jail for 45 days and was just released a week ago.... about Lindsay Lohan going for rehab... and also about Britney Spears' weird marriage and family problems....

Why??? how come they have such characters... those cheap characters...
they're just causing so much news which brings big bucks to all those magazine and news companies....

but still.. despite their stupid strategies and actions... they still have so many fans...

thats what we call variation in the human life.




BRITNEY SPEARS



LINDSAY LOHAN



PARIS HILTON

so... i'm asking for preference between these three celebs... i'm giving these three choices and see which one would u prefer most...





hmmm.... still Hilary Duff is the best... she's young and famous like the rest but she's not rebellious... and now she's got thinner... she's becoming sexier...

but sorry.. u have no choice for her... u only can choose from the ones above...hehe..

Working... working

i'm now working part time at Chef @ Home... the western food restaurant at the Hui Sing roundabout... so why dont u guys drop by and have ur dinner there...hehehe.... i'll post more of this later...

the G-Buy pen

There are so many good pens nowadays... i mean good as in good to use not good in price. like GSoft, G-2, G-1, G-Tech and lots more....


Pilot G-2 pen





GSoft pen






G-Tech pen



i realise that the manufacturers of this pen like to use the letter G for their brand name... all the pens above has the word G in front....

so Avery and I were discussing about the names... we were wondering why no manufacturers would use the name G-Buy... i mean there are so many G pens so with the word Buy that will encourage people to buy this brand, it would definitely attract many customers...



G-Buy Pen


imagine when there is a pen with such name as G-Buy, there will be situations with conversations like....

Situation A
in a stationery shop where a man wants to buy the G-Buy pen... and the salesgirl.

Buyer: hello... ummm..... do u sell G-Buy????
Salesgirl: Of course... we have plenty... by the way what colour do u want???
Buyer: oh.... i want black G-Buys please....thanks!!!


Situation B
in class when a boy wants to borrow the G-Buy pen from his friend (a girl).

Boy: Ehh... can u lend me ur G-Buy kah????
Girl: it's okay for u to use the black one??
Boy: anything will do...
Girl: oh okay... but don't spoil it okay!!! i only have one left... it's precious u know???

** r u thinking dirty???

Sleeping "Beauties"

u've heard of the fairytale Sleeping Beauty rite??? where princess is cursed... and she was casted to sleep until her prince come....bla..bla...bla...

but now... that's no more a fairytale. it has become a true story. below, there are real 'princes'... made to sleep by the witches and the wizards of Swinburne..(the lecturers).
they are male version of sleeping beauties so i should call them princes... not princesses

below are five 'sleeping beauties'...


the first one is Prince Johnson.... and was chanted to sleep by the lecturer of the Mechanics of Structure lecturer....



the second one is Prince Chen... nobody casted a spell on him... i think he did it himself...


the third one is Prince Eric... chanted by the Energy and Motion lecturer



the fourth is Prince Yew Wei... i supposed all the lecturers actually casted spells on him... so it's pretty easy to catch him fallin asleep...



and the last one is Prince Aldrin... MAN...he could resist most of the spells by the lecturers but this one, the spell is way to strong.. i think.

well these 'sleeping beauties' are waiting for their 'saviour' to wake them up... but since this is a democratic country.... so they need more than one saviour... the more the better.

SO... how do u vote for them... i've created a poll below

Reaching Maturity in Harry Potter??

Harry Potter is a movie about the life of a young wizard. therefore, as the story continues, the characters will grow older. so does the casts of the movie. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley).

here, i have some pictures showing their physical development during the five series.


Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter 1 (2001)



Daniel in Harry Potter 2 (2002)... grew a little bit...





Daniel in Harry Potter 3 (2004)..grew more... adam's apple coming out...




in Harry Potter 4 (2005) face grew more mature...




and this year in Harry Potter 5... year of adolescent




Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) also changed a lot...


in Harry Potter 1... look at the childish look...



in the second sequel, he grew bigger but still with his childish look.





but in Harry Potter 5, look at the difference...

now to the girls' part. to see whether a girl has reached puberty is easier...hmmm...

in Harry Potter 1, Emma Watson's so young... cute... but with an airport... hehe...

in Harry Potter 2, it's rather the same...

in Harry Potter 3, she seems to grow a little more mature..





but in Harry Potter 4, the drastic change came... u see urself... that's why Harry Potter 4 has actually attracted the most viewers. Hmmmm.....







and now in Harry Potter 5, Emma Watson has changed from a cute little girl to a SEXY lady...


stunning post.







another example would be Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley).




In Harry Potter 1 ............................................................ then in Harry Potter 5





so u see how much a person would change when he or she grows.... i bet all of u have also changed alot rite???



That's one of the reason why i like watching Harry Potter
