Interestingly, I had about 3 hrs of sleep last nite, broke my specs....and i am not bummed bout it.
After class, I came home and waited for DHL to come to send me my new Hard Discs...waited for 2 hrs (it usually comes between 12.30 and 1.30) and left home at 2.25 and it came while i was gone..just minutes after, i saw my fav postman on the way.....and i was so impatient that i wnet down to the shop and got another hard disc and will be returning the blardy hd from amazon back.....but anyways thats that...
It probably seems like a bad day but i didnt care, cos.....the new supermarket near my house just opened (yesterday)...its about 200m away and has nearly everything i need....all the good quality stuff and bad quality stuff...i swear to god i saw creme brulee....and my day just lightened up...with the horrifying impulse to wanna buy anything...
TIP: For all supermarket junkies, do not bring a carry bag......grab as mch as u can with ur hands to limit the shopping craze.
But at the end of the day, the thought that the supermarket is there makes me feel good enuf to stay jolly for the rest of the day.....oh and i bought this!!

Finally settled down!@!
Last blog post was on the 26.03.2010...today is 13.04.2010 .....it took me about 20 days to settle down into my new home..long time and lotsa money invested into my own crib which i actually really love...
I finally got my keys to my new place on 30.03.2010. I started buying things to put into my house. (chopping board, cutlery, pots and pans, toilet mat, toilet brush and a colection of more than 12 types of different kind of detergent for cleaning the house). It was then that i realised that im a freak!! Swear to god, ive got detergents for wooden floor, tiled floors, toilet bowl, metal cleaner for my cooktop, oil cleaner, anti calcium/lime cleaner, vinegar cleaner...lols....and i went on my knees to scrub the whole plce clean!!)
Finally rented a moving van and travelled 900km that day to move my stuff from Munich to Mannheim including multiple stopovers! (more on that anohter time)
The next day, went to ikea to buy all the plates, a shelf and a study light which im very satisfied with. Got my internet working on that very same day too!
That evening, i went to pick up my furniture which i bought online. A bookshelf, a washing machine, and an oven.
I finally settled into my house!! (Pictures to come)!!!

Its been ages.....ages since i last posted smth on bth my blogs...but most of my frens do know that I'm very very mch alive....
As I am typing this blog, i realised that it has been 2 years since i started blogging...for a whole new different reason. Interesting as it may be.....
Life for me is more normal than abnormal. Less crazy than crazy crazy for the past two years.. IT WAS A GREAT TIME..but its about time to change.....People usually know me as the crazy Joshua. One who does not think and just does, one who does not say no, one that tries whatever that is put in front of him, one that seeks drama, one that drinks like a fish, one that parties like an animal....u know where this is going....
QUICK UPDATE!!
Moved to Mannheim, went back to Msia for hols after grad, now still a students, still struggling as a student, still broke as a student, extremely happy in life, quit smoking (again), have not binge drink since last year september, exercises nearly everyday and yes, I AM GONNA GO BACK TO COOKING!
Thats bout it for now....going to move in next week.....will probably blog bout that next!

Taking food blasphemy to the next level!
Yes, as a friend of my calls it...im practising food blasphemy. The whack ideas i have come up with would cause food lovers to kill me....or maybe spark a new way of dining..but these are thoughts that would kill even, me.
Blasphemy 1: Otoro ...
If any of you have tried otoro, this high fat blue fin tuna belly will literally melt in ur mouth, bursting with freshness and flavour in your mouth would just make anybody feel in ecstasy.
Now imagine someone dipping that otoro in a batter, not those tempura batter, but those thick flour batter and deep frying it. And then serving it to you.
Wonder if its only me, but the thought of it, just breaks my heart...WHO IN THE HELL DEEP FRIES OTORO..
Balsphemy 2: Wahyu Beef
I thnk i have mentioned Wahyu Beef in my last post. This fatty beef in my humble opinion should only be well seared and served medium rare to retain its juicyness.
For me, there are two simple things that one could do to destroy the beef and insult the holiness of this godly red meat.
- Serve it well done...... or
- Make it into a stew.....

Project : Lets celebrate Chinese New Year the Hari Raya Korban Way!! KILL A COW!!
This is one project that originated from Deno and I, actually the Muslims. I must say, him being Malay/Muslim really can inspire some really creative ideas.
Like the way all intellectuals think ( I’m not quite there)….there is always a background to a project, history, research till date, problems, method of solving, hypothetical conclusion, mechanism……(SEE IM MAKING STUFF UP NOW). Lets keep this simple!!
BACKGROUND:
So here it goes, this is a tentative date for the tentative project. This project started off when I had cravings for fillet mignon…and I thought, since we are back during CNY, we should get together at my place, I’d make proper fillet mignon on the grill, open our bottles of wine and enjoy…
Deno: OMAHA BEEF (thx to your blardy influence JING QI QUAH) Oh, let’s make salt beef and salt ox tongue……
Seriously, dailo…need or not???
Problem 1: Where do we get fresh meat in Kuching??
My reply: Takkan ask ppl from Omaha to send the meat to Thailand and ask someone to pick it up from there. (Tautaulah JQQ seems to have encounted such incidents).
Suggestion:Why don’t get JQQ to fly some in when he flies in too….??
Deno: FUCKING HELL…kill a cow lah…every Raya oso kill 3 cows….
And there u have it…the ingenious plan to KILL A COW FOR CNY!@!
RESEARCH:
Every good project requires extensive research. I have spent about 5 hrs on this...no lie! I am looking into the possibility of killing a cow or a calf. Ups for cows are that they have more meat , downs, meat not so tender whereas for calves, which are killed usually 9 mths old are more tender, not so mch meat, but would do? I have no idea.
Main concern is time. With 5 weeks left to CNY and 6 weeks to the event, I want my cow to be fat, and DRUNK. I want to the cows to be fed with beer (preferably FRANZISKANER) and I would hire a masseur to massage it. No cruelty to animal. Pamper it before u kill it (exactly the way u should treat your girlfriend/boyfriends).
PROBLEMS:
How the hell am I gonna get a waygu/kobe beef like meat from my cows? And what should I call it, since it’s called Wagyu in US and Kobe in Japan and ours is made in Malaysia. Suggestions please?
Oh and the problem of whether to kill a calf or cow is not solved…. and how long should I hang the meat before it is actually cooked? Usually meat in the market can be hanged to dry from 24hrs to 4 weeks. Depending on how you want the meat to be. Fresh cut meat is not as nice. They are way too bloddy and u have to let the enzymes work into the meat before eating it. The ROTTING process has to start 1st.
SOLUTION:
JUST GO FOR A BLARDY CALF OR WHATEVER WE CAN GET.
We are now looking for some good samaritan who will actually take care of our cow during this 5 weeks before we get back. Please feed it as much beer as it can take, give it a massage or I will get someone to do it, after its meal and let it have a good life. Let it eat grass from my garden and Deno’s garden alternatively and if our grass runs out, we will find new feeding ground for it….
After the 5 weeks, I/Deno will be back in Malaysia. We will take custody of the cow; bring it on drinking nites with us. (this is Deno's idea) The cow will drink equal amount of whiskey and/or vodka that Deno and Daniel (my brother is my representative, I have quit binge drinking). And two days prior to the slaughter, we wud say our prayers and sembelih it the HALAL way…just so that our Muslim friends can enjoy it too….
Conclusion:
There is no need for conclusion. We shall kill it, lay the meat out on the table, decide what to grill and decide what to do with the rest of the meat.....

The Heartbreaker - Fillet Mignon Burger!@!
Those of you that know me know that my life involves 2 things....food, and more food. Every single moment in my adult life is associated with the constant thought of what to eat next.
2010 will not be much different compared to previous years. Food will be the theme of the year and using food to torment people's life (or be tormented) is a project that I will continue to pursue.

New year, new blog, new life!@!
Nope!...its not a technical problem...after not updating my blog for nearly 3 mths...and most of the time not knowing how to continue with it, I have decided that its time for me to wipe out the past. So I have deleted every single post for the past 2 years...and start anew :)
Happy New Year to all of you peeps!!
