Steps To Getting Brain Damage (edited)...

For the past few days, things have been pretty crazy for me. For one, I had 3 papers in 2 days (again). Yes that was hell to go through and it mentally drained me but that's the boring stuff, what occurred on either side of it (brain damaged me can't think of a better word for the opposite of in between) was the fun part :D.

On Saturday, my house-mate Aaron came back to KL after spending several months back home. And accompanying him on the way back is 2 bottles of tuak! For those sober and dull people out there (yes offence), tuak is made from fermented rice and has a golden colour to it. Oh its sweet as well therefore its kind of the silent killer type of drink... So a couple of us gathered and had some shots of tuak before one of them suggested we go to The Library for happy hour... I only said, 'thats exactly whats on my mind!'


Enjoyin some Hoes...

So off we headed to the Library, which in a way is what I actually should be doing :P. And to add the icing on the cake, I finally had pure absinthe! It actually tasted pretty good although the after effects was like having 4 shots of tequila in one... But I felt kinda cheated cos I ordered two different types of absinthe, wanting the green colour one and instead both came out white. FYI, only 2 types of absinthe are legally sold here, white one has bout 50+% alcohol while the green one has 60+% content. So pussies like yong and donn, next time try la.. 1 glass wont die wan la.. wont even feel it... trust me guys :D...

Then later on, Gwen and her friend (sorry if wrong ah) dropped by so a round of stouts was bought. I only had half a pint though, which was good enough for me, not a big fan of the black stuff, prefer my alcohol clear, gold, white or green! All this was happening while the Manchester derby was playing in the background and because we had to bounce to crash a BBQ, I missed the typical 92nd minute goal from United... HAIZ... There, I had 1 cup of self mixed ribena + 42below vodka =D.... So total drink count for that day: 3-4 shots of tuak (I can't really remember), 2 pints of Hoegaarden, 2 glasses of Absinthe, 1/2 pint of Connor's Stout and 1 glass of 42below... Brain damage? For sure!!


Elixir of Deth...

As for yesterday, we'd already planned to drink but because of some complications, there wasn't enough alcohol... This is one of those times that makes me believe in miracles cos right in front of my condo, like 1 min walk in front, was the grand opening of a pool centre. So there was free food, free pool and free beer! Seeing as we already had dinner, we basically maxed out the other 2. Around 7-8 of us had at least 20 buckets of beer (1 bucket = 5 small bottles)!! The amateur beer drinker in me only had 6 bottles before I felt too full, not drunk, to consume anymore...


Beer was just the light infantry...

After that, some of them decided to go to my place and tried to finish the remaining tuak with another liquor from hell - langkau... Another fermented rice drink that looks like water but according to the brewer, its about 90+% alcohol ... -.-'.... I actually was watching the 1st half of the Champions League so I didn't had that much to drink. But when I reached home, I saw 1 by 1 nearly out! Personal deth avoided!


Compared to the clear WMA on the right...

I can seriously feel the lack of brain cells in my head already right now. But on the bright side, my next paper is on Saturday, so I'll have a decent amount of time to recover... hopefully...

Time To Put My Game Face On...

Oh its gonna be one helluva weekend for me... Not the fun kind by a country mile.


For one, our season could be seriously made or broken come the end of tonight. Best case scenario, we win, chelsea loses. Worse case scenario, we lose, chelsea wins, then its all over... Most realistic scenario, we lose, chelsea draws, which also kinda means bye bye to our title hopes...

And its going to be a do or die week for my fantasy as well, need to score super high pts to pull away from Mr.Yeah and close the gap possibly overtaking the other 2 lahanats in front of me. All this because of putting too much trust in Torres as my captain and Gerrard... lol...

Oh, and there's that 'little' thing called 'my finals' on monday and tuesday that I still need to prepare for! Fucking hell, really no mercy man this place.... 3 papers in 2 days again!! Looks like I'll be a fucking zombie on crack for the next 4 days or so...

As the title implies, its time to put my game face on...


I needs one...

So, suling, still think I'm having fun? Really wanna join? -.-'

Best Burger In Town...

Another weekend just pass, another week nearer to my finals for this sem and another week nearer for our miserable season to draw to a close... Oh and another weekend for the trio of us to go hunt for some glorious food!

YES, IT'S ANOTHER FOOD POST! don't be hating ya u hungry ppl!



So this week round, Don suggested this place called The Daily Grind @ Bangsar Village II where according to him has the best burger in town! Now I was a bit sceptical bout this cos I thought I made the best burgers in town!! hahaha.. ooops, thats malacca town... ok ok, jokes aside, honestly, my burger bench mark would be Carl's Junior. If a burger can match up to Carl's, then it can be considered a pretty damn good burger in my books. Same goes wif the fries that comes with it!

Anyway, we arrived at the place which was located near the Starbucks/Outback Steakhouse/Worse Organic Food EVER side of BV2. It looked kinda cosy with some rustic interior. Though I was wondering why did 1 small joint have 3 entrance doors.


The Daily Grind...

Then the waiter brought us the menu which was kinda short and simple, prolly watched one or 2 of Gordon Ramsey's shows (he basically tells restaurant owners that the menu should not be over cluttered with dishes). So there were quite a variety of burgers plus your usual soups, salads and pasta. One burger that caught my eye was the foie gras burger! Was so tempted to try cos I had never eaten foie gras before let alone in a burger! But the price of 55 bucks for that burger put me off... for now!


@ RM 8 a mug, how can I pass it up...

So we ended up ordering 1 salad, Don had a smoked salmon + grilled chicken burger, Yong had an aptly named Lamborghini burger while I had a regular Italian beef burger with mozzarella cheese. It was happy hour so 1 mug (which I think = 1/2 pint) of Tiger was only RM8! while it's buy 1 free 1 on 1/2 pint of Guinness. Wasn't a fan of the dark stuff so I had the Tiger instead while the other 2 decided to order ice water... AGAIN...


Klip says it redefines the term 'salad'...

The salad came first, and it looked tasty! But when we dug in, we were disappointed to find only 4 pieces of prawn and 3 pieces of calamari (deduced by Yong)! WTF!! Well, probably it's for 1 portion so that's why la... but RM25 bucks for that... I might not order it again though the prawns and squid were fresh!


Did I hear the burger say, 'Vroom vroom'?...

Then Yong's Lamborghini burger came. It was, as I assume that you could've guess, a lamb burger. At first glance, the patty looked rather small but thick and there was quite a few greens on top. After having a bite though, I have to say it is quite superb! Juicy and tender though it might not suit a lot of people cos the lamb has a rather strong game smell. If you don't mind that, then this is the burger for you! Now we know where Mary's little lamb went!


Why I oways see u in the Milan jersey wan...

For once, my meal didn't come out last as my rather simple n plain Italian burger came out. Like the lamb burger, it was very juicy and tasty minus the gamy smell. And I did like the fact that they added some spice on the cheese (oregano if I'm not mistaken) before melting it on the meat. Though I would've liked more cheese :(.


Look at the cheese oozing out...

About a quarter way through my burger, Don's burger of the month came. Heck it looked more like a normal western dish with all the leaves and asparagus sticking out rather than a burger! But I have to say, the chicken and the salmon complemented each other quite nicely. Oh I love smoked salmon!


Burger or a regular meal with a bun?...

All in all, a great dinner, although it wasn't too filling (yon'g and I went for sup kambing later on) it was just a nice portion. So is it THE best in town? Burger wise, in terms of taste n texture, yes, one of the best. I wasn't as blown away as the Inverse Burger @Oasis however. Size of the burger could've been a tad bigger though. As for the fries, it was good enough that didn't sucked as bad as say KFC or Burger King's but still cannot beat Carl's Junior's fries! But I was a bit turn off by the times our burgers came out, all quite far apart. I expected better consistency from a burger joint :P


Nom nom nom...

Oh, topic of discussion for the night: the ending of the world in 2012 and possible invasion on Malaysia. Apparently Yong and Don seems convinced that like the movie 2012, the world is going to end in about 2 years time and with all the recent erratic form of nature, they might have a point. On the point where our country will be conquered again (possibly by Jews!), I seriously doubt so. Really, c'mon, what natural resources does our country have that has a global demand? Palm oil and rubber? I however foresee our country going down by our own hands rather than being invaded lah (see UMNO-Perkasa). I'll stop here as I don't want to spoil this post :P...

One last thing, I feel that we need to expand our makan group. 3 people is fine but with more people means more food to sample! PYH has already had the experience that he shall not soon forget! So those who are free on weekends, want to have a good meal, don't mind spending a little over the norm, please inform us lah... I don't want to be the only one not ordering ice water everytime leh :P

Haiz...

In the past 48 hours, I only had 9 hours of sleep... 9 freakin' hours... for wat? Staying up watching football of course. Was it worth it? Well, yes and no. Mostly no.

I was lucky enough to bear witness to probably the best performance from possibly the best player of our generation. The Flea, also known as Lionel Messi absolutely tapao-ed Arsenal 4-1 at the Nou Camp on Wednesday morning with one heck of a performance from out of this world. Arsene Wenger called him a 'Playstation player'... Even his manager has run out of superlatives for him. 3 hattricks already this season and the fourth plus one goal the other night most likely guaranteed him winning the World Player of the Year again next year. So 1 half of my possible Dream Final pt 2 was in place.

The next night, part 2 commenced... things couldn't get any better, Rooney was back even when old man Fergie said 'no way in hell'. And in 7 minutes, we were up 2-0 against Bayern. Oh but more was yet to come ... 5 minutes before half time and we were up 3-0 thanks to a brace from Nani of all people! But as it would seem, things took a turn for the worse... Long story short, we ended up losing on away goals... haiz... Though no doubt Robben's goal was a beauty... Did we deserve to lose? Possibly... well at least now Fergie knows he has to splash the cash for more top quality players. If Messi is to Barca what Rooney is to United, then we need a better support group than the likes of Carrick, Berbatov and Rafael cos quite frankly, Messi wouldn't be as good without the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Dani Alves or even Pedro alongside him!

So who to blame? Carrick for being such a douche cos he missed 1 sitter and couldn't defend properly against a 34+ short striker? Or Rafael for getting sent off in the 49th min in what was IMHO a rather naive and inexperienced challenge. Or the fucking Belgian waffle Van Buyten for kicking Rooney all over the park till he got injured again? I think .. ALL OF IT!!! yes i'm being bitter so sue me!

All I can hope for now is Barcelona meet Bayern in the final and absolutely whack the living shit out of them!! Haizz.....
