LoOks Are DecEiVinG??????

i had an inspiration to write this after i talked to my fren about a certain issue and voila why not dedicate this to her..

All of us started out as babies with very innocent thoughts runiing thru out minds telling us that the world is pure and the world is a very honest place.. That is one of the reasons being a child is always better because we tend to believe most of the things adults tell us.. From there most adults try to tell us to study hard and be honest and they try to nurture us with their vision of what they want us to be... For instance " kuai kuai tark chek co loh kun".( study hard become doc)

So because of the few words they instilled in us makes us think that being a doc or maybe a lawyer is the best things that happen on us..( tell me if ur mum and dad nvr mention this 2 proffession b4) And because of that we try to achive greater heights in our studies and everytime we dont do well in our exams, our parents will question us" like that also cannot then how wanna be doctor..

" HEY!!! I GOT TELL U I WANNA BECOME DOCTOR MEH"

At a point of time we will ask ourselves this very question but still we work our hearts out to do what our parents want us to..

From primary 1 to primary 6 and from form 1 to form 6 and until we take diploma, degree, masters...

When we cannot achieve being something high we will always feel bad about ourselves for we did not fulfill our parents wishes. BUt.. have u ever thought about your passion...

What lies beneath ur heart??

What u really want in life??

What is your way of life???

THis dilemma always hit us at one point of life making us go out of course..

So... to all my friends.. dont worry too much about what parents say when u are young.. They just want us to study hard and make it.... Nobody want their children to flop in life..

Different parents have different way of showing that they care and they actually love all their children....

All that matters when u grow up is u just be someone useful and u will see the smile carved on ur parents face forever in our mind playing around....

Just do our best in whatever we are doing as long as it benefits our life's then it will be just fine..

A Living Dream

DREAM: often what we see as the best moments in life...
Its actually better than living life itself.
This very special dream i had actually affected my life and left its shattered bits running thru my veins pricking me as my blood pumps around my body.
It is on the 4th of December 2003 that i decided to commit myself to a dream that seems so interesting and a start of a new chapter in life.. things were getting better as in my dreams there appeared before me a very special maiden clad in the form of a human. Never have i thought this special maiden would actually change my life for eternity.
As time went on, the maiden got closer to me spiritually and shared almost everypart of our lives together. its like "sakit di paha kiri terasa di paha kanan juga".. As time went on our bond grew stronger than i have ever imagined up to a state where this maiden waited for me for a few months when i was sent away by god to another chapter in my dreams.
After 873 days lost in my own dreams, i finally awaken just to find the maiden gone and it makes me feels so confused about whether its a dream or is it the life i led... Somehow i hoped at one time and prayed hard calling for a saviour into my life not to take the maiden away but its already too late i coulnt find her anymore..... MAybe she's lighting up someone else's life ....
The moment i woke up is the moment i knew everything would change in my life and its a rising of a new horizon and reaching out for different heights searching ....... in the wide forest and looking forward to things i have never thought of achieving all these while....
All i can say is : Thanks For Changing My Life

TruTh OR conFusion

Speculation has become part of our lives these days...

Out in the road u hear ppl saying that is the best and this is good and this is better than that and so on and so forth...

For example, in Penang.. many already have it installed in their minds that LORONG SELAMAT CHAR KUIH TEOW is the best in PENANG....

THe ugly truth is the the plate of common char kuih teow sold by an arrogant old auntie will cost u an extra 5 ringgit compared to other places just because it has a few big prawns hidden underneath..

Confusion comes in when we go there to have the char kuih teow and we find many many char kuih teow stalls, which is which and who is the original.... no one knows but ( trust me, look for the most arrogant looking one) confusion also comes in when we taste the char kuih teow.. its just as common as ever... RM 8 wasted!!!!!!

Western food, who is the best??? same case...... The public speculate that this is the best or that is the best and we trust them... but we always get dissapointed when we try it out for ourselves....

The main human weakness is that what we believe and think is often misleading us in making decisions.. If many of our friends say the wan tone mee is nice then 90% possibility we will say the same althought the fact is that it is just very common..

Funny isnt it... HUman Error Or ERROR HUMAN????

FRIENDS??????

THe people we go out with often differs from time to time.. But how do we actually differentiate true friends..

What we always tell ourselves is that THEY are friends no matter male or female, good or bad. But the real truth is most of these FRIENDS are very opportunistic and unforgiving.

Many things happen along the way as we grow up, sad and happy at an equal state but do look out.. Try reminisce what we have been thru.

When we are happy, we will find friends out there laughing along with us and laughing their hearts out.. But when our sky falls down on us , how many of THOSE FRIENDS actually care enough to ask??????

That's always the case, most of the people we know out there would'nt be actually considered as friends but more of acquantaince.

Acquantaince are those people we get to know at 1 point of time at a certain place and we hang out with them but as life goes on they will slowly fade in our memories or we will slowly fade in theirs.

Most of these people couldn't care less about our welfare. But the lord has make some of us in a way that we do not mind making sacrifices for others whether they are pure aquaintaince or true friends. at the end of the day what we look for is the smile on their faces and that will bring more joy to us than anything else in the world.

However, we often hurt our friends without knowing and we thought they would understand but a simple sorry could actually make things better. Deep down inside, we actuallyy want to say sorry but our ego stops us from doing so. At the end of the day our friends will move on to think that we do not care about their feelings and we are just treating them as trash.

To think of it, from me personnaly.... I AM SORRY to all my friends out there if i ever wronged u. Ego is a thing very hard to control and that is why it has been controlling me for such a long time now but i doubt it will ever leave.

FRIEND AND AQUANTAINCE OLD OR NEW CLOSE OR DISTANT..... IT HAS BEEN NICE THAT OUR PATH ONCE CLASHED AND GETTING TO KNOW U IS WHAT I CONSIDER AS MY PRIVILEGE ...

MOdern dAy PRoVerB

Confusion seems to be the trend for the upcoming generation of teenagers as we are influenced by the technology that blooms like mushrooms after the rain.



However this has brought up the thought to many that u can change urself to be something else. In comes the part where plastic surgery plays a big role. Everyone seems to look forward in inserting an alien piece of rubbery object at places where it will effect the most.
JUst be Like all these monkeys who
just live their lives one day at a time!!!

But, are u sure it will change u..???? From this, i got a very out of the world proverb..



"A PIG WILL ALWAYS BE A PIG AND A MONKEY WILL ALWAYS BE A MONKEY"



When a pig implants a silicon at her marmary glans whe will still only be a pig with implanted rubber. It will not alter a pig and change it into a monkey or alter a monkey and change it into a pig. The true nature still lies beneath that fake mask implanted by an entity called in by the pig and the monkey.



Therefore it is how we act that reveals our nature and not how we look. even if we were to dress in our best tuxedo but suddenly we belch loudly then the integrity is lost. the tuxedo has been over written.



Stop dreaming and wake up. Be who u are and strive being it and not trying to strive by impersonating some person who you worship when he/she doesnt even know u exist.

Of Buoys and Buoyancy

Modern parents are giving their children a lot of mental stress without realising it... Most of the parents out there are both working parents and dont have enough time for their children.

The misconception they have is that by giving material things, their children will be contented with life..

Deep down inside the soul of a child the caring loving imej of the oarent is slowly fading away.. Bit by bit, the child is adrift.... Floating in his own world lost and alone but nobody knows about this for the childs expression shows the picture of a million happiness to his/her parents..

As they grow, they slowly get to know people( buoys) and their principles in life guiding them will tell them that friends are better than parents.. Slowly, the child will be somewhere out in a space of nothingness in subconcious high on drugs and so on and so forth..

But for some, when 2 of the same kind meet they suddenly feel that they have found the similiar friend that share the same life and they jump into a certain commitment to stay with each other and go thru life...( FOR AT A MOMENT IN LIFE THE WORLD SEEMS SMALL)

Some will regard these time together as the peak of their lives but... The truth is they havent seen the real world... BUt the nature is unstoppable, it may be kind and forgiving or very destructive... At a point of time, all good things will come to an end for everybody grows up and suddenly our minds broaden and questions raised in out subconcious mind without us knowing.....

WHY AM I DOING THESE??

WAS MY PAST DOINGS ALL CORRECT??

AM I STILL DOING THE RIGHT THING??

WILL I BE WHAT I WANT TO BE IF I GO ON LIKE THIS??

IS MY oTheR HalF TRUE TO ME???

Do i NeEd A ComPaNion???

and the ultimate question u may ask is.......

WHAT AM I EVEN DOING AROUND HERE??

IS THERE A PURPOSE IN LIFE??

When all these things pop up.., then , the child is turning into a man... that is the most critical part.( many describe midlife crisis to be bad, but does anybody out there thought of the process of a child turning into a man)

From life without worries is slowly moving away, suddenly a faint cry is heard

INCOMING............. !!!!!!!!!!!

DEBTS

RELATIONSHIPS

BANK LOANS

CAREER

SOCIALISING

MONEY

COMPANION

DEATH

Is ThERE EVeN ToMOrROW??????

Different people from different walks of life live in this world as a whole but who is right?? and who is wrong???. who is hurt?? and who is not??

The truth is, we sail our own ship and no one can capsize it unless we sail it into a stormy area or we bump into ANOTHER!!!!!!

"YOU ARE THE OWNER OF YOURSELF AND NOBODY CAN TAKE YOU UNLESS U ARE WILLING TO FOLLOW"

Lesson's of "KUIH KAU"

Kuih kau is a fish people often look for when they head down to the best seafood restaurant in town. but how much do we know about this fish...

I think i forgot.. KUIH KAU is actually refering to grouper in the chinese dialect....

funny to say but often u see people boasting to other about the "KUIH KAU'S" they had for dinner and so on and so forth.. e.g...

Waiter: hallo... lai cheh.... ai chiak ha mik???( hallo. come sit..what would u like to have ?)

Guest: loo oo ... Kuih Kau bo??( u got... grouper??)

Waiter: tien tiok oo!! loo ai juak tua chiak??( sure!! what size do u want??)

Guest: wa ai tua tua chiak eh.. kah ho chiak !!!(i want big big 1.. taste better!!!)

To think of it, how many of us really know the truth... The last sentence in the conversation is the sad truth we often find when we visit restaurants..( cocky customers)

People only wanna show off to other by ordering the biggest grouper in the restaurant as it costs RM 45 or more for a kg.

The fact is, groupers are best at the range of 400gm to 600gm.. ( big doesnt mean good u know) The fish we usually get at restaurants are commercialised breeds and they have a certain odour to their meat compared to their close relatives swimming out of the floating nets..( wild is better than tame" law of nature")

Sometimes people even consume the wrong species and still boast about it( also called pirated edition"joking nee"). groupers are only a name like our surname.. there are many other types of groupers some are edible and some are not... some can even make u cry with a single touch( touch of an angel la) ..

Thats all for groupers, other lessons coming some other days... u can ask more but i will charge..HAHAH!!!!!

About me

My first blog here...
and to "kui mua" (opening ceremony)
i am going to introduce my self
WHY... CHEF IN SHORTS???

Let me tell u why...
i am so sick of those people wearing those expensive chef jackets and sitting in offices walking around the kitchen and smiling to guests.

I choose to be ancient chinese cuisinier
In penang if u go out walking the streets clad in giorgio armani shirt and slacks... the community might mistaken u for 2 things

1.. SALESMAN ( already programmed from young)

2.. CRAZYMAN ( wah lau eh!!! so hot also can wear like that sure
is crazy 1)

SO, the main point is.. i go out usually only clad in shorts and a simple t-shirt strolling around town in my trustworthy bike . Looking for a dirty stall by the roadside so quench my thirst for good food.

In penang, the best food stalls are OFTEN found to be one of the dirtiest( ugly but true). Well almost everybody grow up by the phrase of " la sahm chiak la sahm tuah"( means we grow according to what we eat and also grow strong in hokkien)

Thats all i have to share about myself for now..
