Tutorial – How to make maki sushi

sushifb 
Yes. Let me make it official. I KNOW how to make sushi!!~

Though, I only know how to make the most basic type of maki sushi XD

And here’s a tutorial on how to make maki sushi! It’s really simple! =D

Step 1: Prepare all your ingredients

 DSC08096
Here’s the basics: Nori (Seaweed), Rice, Vinegar, Mayonnaise and Soy sauce.

Step 2: Cook the rice

DSC08098
The Japanese rice (not the normal “beras cap rambutan” from grocery shop) must be washed several time in order to get rid of the smell of rice. Wash around 10 times should be sufficient.

Step 3: Prepare the inner fillings

I am suppose to use bigger prawn, but heck, it’s for my own consuming and it’s just some random lunch. So the normal small prawn will do for me.

DSC08101
So here I’ve made some raw cucumber, fried egg and deep fried prawn. Yummy~

Step 4: Accidently drop all the fillings on the floor

This step is optional. But it was suppose to create excuses for me to skip Contract class the next day.

Step 5: Mix the rice with vinegar while hot, let cool

This step is to give the rice that sourly flavour, as well as letting it cold down before rolling. Rice could only be rolled when cold.

Step 6: Spread the rice evenly on the Nori

Step 7: Put all your ingredient onto the rice horizontally

just like this

Step 8: Roll it and cut it!

The outcome will be something like this…

TADA!

Looks quite gross right? It’s all mayo layered on the sushi

DSC08105
nevertheless, it tasted nice! =D

After the event, I was requested by my granddaughter to make some for her:

Sure no problem! Hope you can withstand Step 4 this time =D

Merdeka or not to Merdeka?

“Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! OK, thank you very much for listening to me screaming like some lunatic just now. Gotta go now, chaos!”

merdeka

I am certainly confident that this would be the speech of the prime minister 50 years later.

Well, you can’t really blame him/her/it you know? Everyone’s there waiting just for the fireworks. If he/she/it were to drag in more speeches and ‘merdeka’s, everyone will start to throw stones at him/her/it. The logic behind this is simple: People nowadays are just not that into the Merdeka celebration as it used to be.

Don't believe what I've said? Here’s an experiment that you can conduct on your own. Ask a teenager what is the real meaning of Merdeka, and see how they would reply. If you could find a teenager that answers “Merdeka is a special day for us to celebrate the independence of Malaya (not Malaysia) from the Britain”, you had either encountered a teenager who had just completed his/her moral assignment, or you had encountered a teenager that has a naggy old grandpa. But most of the time, you will be back-questioned, “why ask such silly question???”

If you are still not satisfied, here’s another experiment that you can conduct. Get a box of Jalur Gemilang (and in case you don’t know, Jalur Gemilang is our national flag’s official name), those kind that you can stick onto the roof of your car. Then, distribute it to some college student who’s driving their own luxury cars to college. If you can spot ANY of them sticking the flag onto their car, you can definitely make a conclusion that you’re in a deep sleep and you’re dreaming. FIND AN ALARM CLOCK AND WAKE UP ALREADY!!!

Some of them will clarify that they couldn’t afford to stick the flag on their car as it will damage the car’s painting, and that their parents will scold them if they saw a flag on their car. “Ah Boy ah, why put a flag on your car??? It looks so stupid and so patriotic! Later if let our neighbour Aunty Suzie sees, then I’ll die la. She will tell everyone in pasar later. Faster take the flag off!”

Why celebrates Merdeka? People are just too lackadaisical about the struggle that our ancestors faced before, the struggle to achieve independence; the struggle of our past leaders to take the risk of boarding an old ship to London, and Malaya Airway (say what?) back from negotiations for independence. Hey! That’s a big risk you know! Some screws might got loosen and the plane might crash! But our ex-ex-ex-ex-ex prime minister chooses to take the risk for the sake of our country! That should be a valid reason for us to celebrate Merdeka!

Another reason for us to celebrate Merdeka is because it is a public holiday. The government had always (and will always) set the 31st of August as a public holiday. We should at least show some appreciation by giving us our support in any Merdeka related events. But we won’t want to take part in Jalur Gemilang colouring contests organized by some nutritious drink manufacturing company, so we can at least stand at the dataran merdeka to make some noise, heats up the environment and have free fireworks show.

So next time we heard someone saying: “Just because I’m too shy to say it, doesn’t mean that I don’t love my country, ok? I still know how to sing negara aku and I know who is Lee Chong Wei! He’s the one who went up to the space to promote the delicious batik to some extraterrestrial! ”, we know that we are still in the hype of celebrating Merdeka.

大家都是一家人

昨天在某友馆帮忙做第二圈主审
我评的学员,开场白是这样的
“DIK! MAK CAKAP JANGAN MAIN DENGAN BUDAK CINA ITU! FAHAM TAK??”
她的主题是现今社会的种族分裂

听到她的开场白
我的心愣了一下
然后就是无奈与感慨
不是感慨她在煽动情绪
而是感慨她说的都是事实

我国独立了52年
种族之间的隔膜
到底还是存在的
说什么三大种族和谐共处
其实并不只会在电视上国庆广告里会发生
在以前的新村里
还是会有这种美好的画面发生的

所以,真的搞不清楚
为什么种族分裂会随着时间而加深呢?

我还记得我姑姑在一次晚餐
她的孩子有点顽皮
一直蹦蹦跳跳的
我姑姑不耐烦
就吓他:
“不要跑来跑去,不然隔壁座的abunene会捉掉你的噢!”
孩子就静静的坐着了
我一眼看过去
天啊!原来abunene的意思就是指隔壁桌的印裔同胞!

试想想,孩子们自小就被父母灌输了不正确的友族概念
孩子长大后会怎样呢?

logo-hari-kemerdekaan-52 

希望我们真的能够从“种族分类”的框框里跳出来
别再用有色眼光去看待身边的人
管他妈的以前某某友族做了些什么,忘了它吧
在此时从新开始对身边的每个人好
大家都生长在这一片国土
大家都是一家人!

p.s: 其实我还蛮爱国的咧,只是不说出来而已 XD

Dolympic Dorientation – Part 2

The day had finally arrived, the day we worship the holy donuts had our July Intake Orientation!

5974_141462792315_556792315_3332225_1134448_n 
donuts donuts of the mall, who’s the fluffiest of them all?

The worshipers participants gathered themselves as according to their donut grouping

5574_116731792046_639332046_2814360_847898_n
the black group who represents the Chocolate Covered donut

5574_116939267046_639332046_2817176_2159748_n
the blue group who represents the Sprinkles donut

5574_116939262046_639332046_2817175_8251833_n
the pink (omg! pink!) group who represents the Strawberry Filled donut

5574_116941077046_639332046_2817183_1855990_n
the green group who represents the Jelly Filled donut

5574_116941092046_639332046_2817184_2745229_n
and the yellow group who represents the Creamy Filled donut

Wonder why do they wear according these specific colours? Well, let’s flashback to the good old days:

power-rangers 
Isn’t it the 5 same colour as the power rangers? XD

Nah. Just kidding.

The 5 colour is actually according to the very noble game of Dolympic.

 olympic_rings
see how peacefully these 5 donuts rings together? =D

Hmm… we’ve got the 5 colours of donut rings, how about the white colour background? Do you we have a white group?

The answer is: YES! We do!

 5974_141462097315_556792315_3332116_2695134_n
the only 2 members of the white group who worships the (white)board of scores

The worshipping ceremony starts with a golden torch running through the venue of course. And we are glad to have BC to do it for us.

5574_116731787046_639332046_2814359_6832774_n
BC: you’re welcome, man!

Now that you saw his outfit, you know why we’re glad to have BC to do it for us.

After running around the DSA area, under the chicken theme song, he passes the torch and sticks up the Holy Mother of all Donuts to the wall

5974_141462152315_556792315_3332126_477824_n
well, the holy donut is currently experiencing some dysfunctional… please try again later

After the opening ceremony, the first game we had is passing around the ping pong ball with a spoon, which signifies our willingness to do the same with our homework (passing around) for the upcoming one year time.

5574_116946112046_639332046_2817279_5855428_n 

Contrary to the committee’s believe, there nothing much exciting here, everyone did it with ease. This leads to our nervousness as everybody seems to show us the “hmmp! is this the best you can do to us?” face.

5974_141461747315_556792315_3332063_6535058_n 
Yes. That’s the face.

So, we reckon we should push things up to its extreme!

Just like how primary school teachers did it, we ask everyone to stand on their chair!

5574_116948322046_639332046_2817313_7707971_n
I say stand! Not lie on it!

5574_116948362046_639332046_2817317_3877721_n
now that’s better

everybody still seems so happy and relaxed… not knowing what will happen to them soon… The evil organizers took off their chair one by one, and they all will have to keep on dancing to the blasting music on the chair…

Guess how things turns out?

5574_116997532046_639332046_2817995_634220_n
mommy!! HELP!

5574_117001047046_639332046_2818113_6218939_n

5574_116997512046_639332046_2817993_999709_n

everybody is squeezing and dancing on the chair, and everybody’s leg started to cramp XD

kinda reminds me my yesterday’s dinner

sardin 
poor fishy who got all squeezed up into a tiny can

paralyzed

For the very first time, i'm blogging from a computer which is not my laptop...

I'm now in university's library, using their very slow and Trojan infected computers to post this very post you're reading now.

So if you read this, you computer were hijacked by those fucking Trojans XD

just kidding

the reason i write this post is because i'm too tired from reading cases for assignments

i tried to rest my head on the table, but immediately my body got out of control and my whole body was paralyzed, except for my finger of right hand

i know i am not sleeping, i am clearly awake and i can even do calculus at that point of time (lol) but my body just won't listen to me...

and then, while paralyzed, i heard songs from circus (not the Circus by Britney Spears, circus as in real circus with clowns, elephant and stuff) and i saw many colours in random sequences...

this happen everytime i sleep at night nowadays

scary huh...

i guess it has to do with all the stress XD

oh well, can't slack for that long... gotta go back to read cases... chaoz

p.s: anyone wanna treat me good food? i'll be stress free by then XD

Dolympic Dorientation – Part 1

Hi guys… wanna meet my classmates?

05082009919 

It have been one and a half month since the whole bunch of animals from Africa class studied together, roaring and screeching over assignments and replacement classes… As expected from a professional law student, we study really, REALLY hard!!!

11082009925 
SEE? we’re really hardworking studying here

So one fine day, from all the stresses and tortures, someone by the name of ‘Mary had a little lame’ came out with her most brilliant idea she ever had:

donut
DONUT!

No. She’s not hungry or anything, she’s just being herself.

So we started to plan for a ceremony in order to worship the newly-found-holy donut.

We called the event “July Intake Orientation” in order to hide our insanity from the other intake / programme. The camouflage goes very well that we even succeeded in getting ourselves a venue at the student affair department!

5574_116724382046_639332046_2814268_1890869_n 
so the worshiper committee worked hard in order to assure that everything goes smooth and hippy

VERY VERY HARDWORKING committee over here…

and the day arrives. The day we worship the Mother of all Donuts.

5974_141462152315_556792315_3332126_477824_n 
Behold! The Mother of all Donuts!
