The Best Dish In The WorldI didn't mean to makan nasi so much tonight. I honestly didn't.
But then this appeared on the dining table:
I lost control over this. It haunts me in my dreams. My bonda's
Sambal Goreng Ikan Bilis & Kentang. Who would've thought a seemingly simple dish, a 'mere' combination of crunchy deep fried ikan bilis, potato wedges, chillies, onions and limes could be
so superbly delicious? Seriously, the ingredients I listed above are the only things that are in it.
So why la so sedap?
I can eat this all day, any day, until my teeth fall out and I need to wear diapers.

Eh Why La So Mellow Lately?I just noticed that
I've been much nicer and less snarky in this blog as of late. Hm, this cannot be. Maybe I'm a lot calmer and tolerant since I got back
(which has been just over a month; dammit, rasa macam dah lama) kot?
But don't worry (heh) because with the joys of being home also come the foibles and grumbles. Lately
I've discovered that screaming in a raging, thick voice is a GREAT way to quell down my anger whenever something pisses me off, lagi-lagi when I'm driving.
Take, for instance,
this idiot one day in KL who refused to give me way even though I was signalling like mad to enter the left lane on this road. Macam sial.
Aku dah signal okay, so why the fakkk do you speed up whenever I try to nudge in? Bukannya illegal pun. Macam siot. And when I almost got into his lane,
he honked at me: Dammit. Idiot driver tak nampak ke aku dah bagi signal ni, bodoh macam lembu tak sekolah, fakkk!!
Opportunity shone it's light on me though;
the idiot driver's door was open, so I rolled down my passenger window and with a loud, angry, rage-filled voice said this and did this:
there wasn't really a knife, tapi tambah untuk nampak lagi ganasIdiot driver's reaction: *Raises hands, gives apologetic nod, lets me into his lane*
Edwan - 1
Idiot - 0
Moral:
Please be an ethical driver.
If not, don't drive at all.
You risk getting furiously scolded at by a handsome young man in black.

Finding AristotleIn case you're still wondering, that's
the name I want to give to my pet snake... when I get one, that is. Right now
I'm just waiting for a bit of cash to come in. After that I hopefully I can bring home Aristotle.
"Kenapa Aristotle yea?" tanya kamu kepada saya. Well, just like my previous snake,
Cadbury,
(rindunya kat dia..) I want the name to be as incongrous to the animal as possible.
See, when it comes to pets names,
I find that people generally give boring names: if it's a dog = Poochy, a cat = Fluffy, a goldfish - goldie etc.
So I chose 'Aristotle' (and Cadbury) because I find that the names do not at all conjure up images of serpents. Which is nice. Now I get to see the look on people's face when I tell them the name.
But what will Aristotle be? I really want a Cat Snake like I mentioned in a few posts below, but dammit,
tiba-tiba rasa macam suka kat Ball Pythons pula. For one thing, it's
one of the few snakes that Hanim Sufinaz thinks is cute.
they curl into a ball when they feel afraid. hence the name: Ball PythonAnd she's right:
Ball Pythons are super-cute.They're small, docile, gentle and easy to take care of.
So macam mana yea? Nak Ball Python tak? :)

Finally I Shall Have A Nissan GTR (Perodua Myvi)
Since I'm going to start work soon,
I am going to buy a car. My first car, ho yeahh! And guess what? I am going to buy the car I have lusted after for so long.
The car below.
The Nissan GTR (Perodua Myvi).
if you don't see a Nissan GTR, then obviously something is wrong with your eyesight
I'm going to buy it in White. Ivory White to be precise.
I can't believe that
I'm finally going to be able to drive the Nissan GTR (Perodua Myvi).
Looks great in white. Sporty, muscular, taut and menacing. Woot!
I can't wait to drive my Nissan GTR
(Perodua Myvi) down the roads of Malaysia. And maybe after this I'll join the Nissan GTR
(Perodua Myvi) owners club.
Ferrari and Porsche will eat my dust
(no, they will not; never. ever.)
*Disclaimer: Don't get me wrong; I'm actually super-psyched to be getting the Myvi :P It's my first car ho yeahh! If you're wondering, I scratched the Satria Neo off the list because I realized I couldn't live with the lack of space and horrible ergonomics, even if it handles beautifully. I scratched the Honda City off the list because, although I could afford it IN THEORY, real life begs to differ.
So Myvi it is, and hey, I'm not complaining. One step towards an ACTUAL Nissan GTR is better than no step at all, lalala...
