The Food Tree Ramadhan Buffet

The Food Tree under OWG

will be having a Ramadhan Buffet

from 23 July till 17 August.

 I was lucky enough to get the chance

to be among the first few groups of people to try it.

Here are some of the food offered.

 The menu for that night

The drinks were interesting.

Honey cucumber

As someone who doesn't like cucumber,

I liked this.

It's something like honey lemonade with very thin cucumber slices (the green floaters)

 Jumbo herbs.

The original size of this is huge.

It's about 1L.

I didn't like the taste of this.

It's a little too eccentric for my taste.

There's a mix of lychee, sour plum, mint leaves,

and lemon grass.

Singapore Chilli Crab

The crab was on the spicy side, but meat was abundant.

The sauce is sweet and spicy yummy.

Mutton Rogan Josh.

Middle eastern style.

The cook worked in the middle east before,

and he decided to bring the taste here.

Mutton cooked right.

It's soft and not chewy. 

Toothless friendly.

 Tandoori chicken

which was spicy and slightly dry.

This was interesting.

It was stuffed with kiwi paste.

 Halal soup dumplings

a.k.a xiu long bao.

It's filled with chicken meat,

but taste just as nice as the original ones.

Chef gave a live demonstration on how to make Beng-pei mooncake

 The durian pancake is a must-try if you love durian.

It's very soft

and the taste is just mmmmmmmm.

Two layers of durian goodness.

I was too busy enjoying my favourite dish I forgot to take pictures of it.

The balitong a.k.a Siput Sedut,

Negeri Sembilan style.

You need skills to eat that,

but if skills is what you have,

you'll get a great taste of green chilli and belacan.

The pictures above are just a fraction of what you will find there.

The food changes and rotates everyday,

so you won't get the exact same thing even if you went

two days in a row.

The food comes from an international menu,

meaning you'll get food from local traditional Malay cuisines

to Japanese cuisines.

The buffet is RM78.90 for adults

and RM39.45 for children 5-12 years young 

and senior citizens (above 60 years old)

Children below 4 eat for free!

Location:

10, Jalan Pelukis U1/46, Section U1,

Temasya Industrial Park,

40150 Shah Alam, Selangor.

The place is situated among factories.

If you see Peugeot and Honda,

you're really near.

It's just along that road.

That's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

The truth behind the half-lies

I have something to announce.

Contrary to popular belief,
I'm single and have been single for the past few months.

I know we look fine,
but we've just been friends fine.

I've been holding on,
not telling everyone because of 2 reasons:
1. I hate answering questions.
2. I was silly enough to hope that things will still work out someday, that I can overlook this dark part of history and everything will go on as usual, without anyone but us knowing about it.

If you ask me questions and expect answers at once,
you should be prepared to be ignored.
If you call,
you will be ignored. No matter who you are.

I will answer your questions when I want to.
Don't bother me.
No matter who you are.

Don't need to spread the news.
Only those who care enough to read this post shall know.

I hope none of us will be bothered by your questions.

I didn't mean to lie,
I just didn't tell the whole truth,
because I still hoped.


All hope is lost.

that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~
p.s. Happy would be 4th month-versary.

The Amazing Spider-Man

Yes I've watched it.

Before you watch it,
please put aside your memories from the past Spider-Man films
because one would tend to compare,
and difference comes in an abundance,
if you just insist on comparing it to the most recent 3 movies.

It was hard to watch because of technical issues.
I hope it's just for our screening coz
if not
a lot of people will go home feeling like they need (new) specs.
Half of the screen was blurry during half of the movie.

Movie started slow because they have to redefine Peter Parker's history.
The Amazing Spider-Man has a new story for Peter Parker.

I think the new Spider-Man is closer to the comic version,
because well he's more witty.

Unlike the old Spider-Man,
he talks, is carcastic, (and jokes) more.
The old Spider-Man is just so sad and pathetic.

There aren't a lot of LOL moments,
but this is not a comedy, and you do get an occasional snigger.

It's not action packed, but it doesn't lack action either.

The Amazing Spider-Man goes into more detailed life of Peter Parker,
and you'll see more interaction between the characters
and a better developed storyline.

Like all movies there are slow and fast parts,
and I think they have a balance in this film.

Stan Lee totally stole one whole scene. =)

I would recommend it,
but do put your logical mind aside,
and put your old perception of Spider-Man next to your logic,
and you'll be able to enjoy it.

Unless you hate lizards.
Did you know that the villain in this movie is a
human-turned-oversized-but-way-smaller-than-dinosaur-lizard?

It's coming out this Thursday,
so before that,
watch all the trailer!!

that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir!

Oh,
and there's a few awkward parts when Peter Parker and the oh so pretty Gwen Stacy start to make out,
made more awkward when the couple next to me was super lovey-dovey,
and I'm sitting next to a dude who I just met.

How to annoy your colleagues

 Because your opinion is very important and everyone should hear it.

IT SHOULD BE CAPS LOCK DAY EVERYDAY!!

* I just hate loud noisy people in general

 Because you care for your colleagues so much

you have to know what they're doing.

 Because sharing is caring

Because they should listen to your ringtone.

Everyone loves loud ringtones

Because girls just LOVE to be harassed.

and 

Because not answering is rude.

Because I was bored

and annoyed.

If there are other ways your colleagues annoy you,

SHARE THEM IN THE COMMENTS!!

That's what J_Fish has to say~ AU REVOIR!!

P.S. Wanted to change it up a little so decided to draw instead. =D

You can see that they're pictures instead of computer drawn.

Coz I dunno how and am too lazy to find how how comic bloggers actually draw their comic.

Here's my pic so that you didn't visit in vain. 

I lied. 

We're all illogical hypocrites

There's 2 points that I want to share in this post:
1. We're all hypocrites
2. If people were more logical, a lot of unwanted incidents could be avoided.

I'm just using these 2 incidents as examples, but there are obviously more hypocritical examples in our everyday life.

First there was this video

Then there was this.

If you haven't watch it,
I'll sum them up.

First one was a man who shoved an elderly woman (who then fell off the bus). He shoved her because she pushed the bell late, and he though it was a waste of his time.

Second video was an elderly woman continuously scolding (and insulting) a girl even after the girl gave her seat to the elderly. It was a priority seat.

Without taking sides,
I try to stand from a logical point of view and analyse these 2 videos.

(Joel says I'm too logical to be human. =/)

Anyway,
First video,
what we saw was the man shouting at the woman, then shoving her.

Consequence:
People attack him (over the internet) for being rude to an elderly woman.

Second video,
what we saw was the woman shouting at the girl, and girl finally cursed at the woman and walked away.

Consequence:
People attack the woman (also over the internet) for being rude to the girl.

If you agree on the general public's opinion, which is "you shouldn't be rude to the elderly", why are you scolding the old lady in the second video?

If you don't see my point yet,
here's a more detailed explanation.

We did not see the whole story of both the incidents. Thus, we make assumptions.

Please read this post from a logical, neutral point of view.

First video, we assumed that the man was rude because he shoved the lady off the bus and then made excuses. We assumed that the lady was innocent.

Second video, we say that the elderly lady was ungrateful, scolding the girl while she's comfortably seated. The girl was obviously trying not to yell at the lady. We praise the girl for trying her best to be good.

The below point is hypothetical, if you're angered by it and object it, it's time you calm down and try and be logical.

What if
The elderly lady scolded the man in the first video like how the elderly lady scolded the girl before the video started and before we saw the man shoved her off the bus?

Would you think the man is less guilty now? If not, why do you think the girl should be blamed less? She did, in the end, yelled at the elderly woman.

How do you distinct between a rude young person and a patient young person? They were both rude at one point to the elderly.

Is scolding and insulting ok when you're treated the same way, but shoving someone is over the limit? If you really respect an elderly person, any form of aggressiveness towards them should be discredited, right? How do you justify your act of backing up the first elderly lady but then give negative comments on the second elderly lady?

The first elderly lady did, in fact, yelled something back at the man too.

First point done.

Second point:
We could see in the first video that the door of the bus was open. The elderly lady had 2 choices, get off the bus and ignore the man who yelled at her, or stay back and confront him.

She chose to confront him. The logical thing to do would be to walk away. If she walked away, he guy wouldn't get the chance to shove her off the bus. Unless he's extremely crazy and runs after her.

We could also see in the second video that there was space for the girl to walk away. She, like the elderly woman in the first video had 2 choices, to walk away, or to stay.


If the girl chose to walk away, the elderly lady would look like a fool for yelling at someone who isn't there. Since the woman cherish her "well earned" seat so much, I doubt she would go after the girl and scold her. Logical?

People tend to call people who walk away from trouble cowards, but I call them smart. How many people would still be alive if they walked away at the first sight of danger rather than stay and confronted it?

If you stay to confront someone, you're saying "YOLO" with your actions, because come on, how many confrontations would turn out fine? If the people who started the confrontation were calm and logical enough, there wouldn't even be a confrontation in the first place.

I've met so many asshole drivers on the road recently that if I stopped the car and confronted them whenever they honk at me even if it's their fault, I would have been injured or died several times in one day.

that's what J_Fish has to say~ Au Revoir~

p.s. Seriously, ppl keep saying that Penang drivers are crazy, but I never cursed so much while driving in Penang. My observations tell me that there are more expensive cars in Klang Valley, and from what I see, the asshole drivers are mostly people with bigger cars.

I guess their logic is that they pay more road tax thus they can take up two lanes instead of one and cut into your lane without prior warning (read:signals).

Don't be an asshole. Driving in the middle of two lanes is not acceptable unless you're trying to land a plane on the highway. In that case, by all means.
