Kuih MOR

Waiting for the oven Covered with white snowy sugar Kuih MOR or to be exact Kuih Makmor. Now that Hari Raya is just 2 weeks away,every household in brunei is busy making cakes and biscuits, our house is no exception. my mother inlaw is busy with her sweet delicious kuih MOR.Yes her kuih MOR is the best i dare to say,why?cos once you put it in your mouth,the taste of it is just so heavenly,its neither hard nor soft,but the kuih mor just melt inside your mouth(something that is hard for me to explain). she makes it every year without miss,to be handed over to her kids and relatives.If you wanna try it out come over to my house this raya,you wont regret it.

Ahh panas tapi syok...

Ngurut2 tangan tia lagi Dry swing jon... Hmmm... Macam dalam TV Ani lagi mcm dlm TV Had a round of 9 holes golfing yesterday,tee off at 3pm and finished at 5+,karing jua leher eh oleh nya but it was great fun,it's my first time playing golf during ramadan,cos i've just started golf last ramadan,and its been a year now,but my golf still sucks big time,anyway beginning to love the sport,but then again i think im heading toward the direction of being old,or was it maturity heheh. anyway,golf is not an old man's sport,it is being picked up today by kids as young as 6,what i mean of being old was,it is not as agressive as my previous sports that i have indulged during my younger years.

Finish the Fight

My 3 years of waiting will be finally over,yes after finishing HALO and HALO 2,i was feeling kinda lost in translation,bought lots of FPS games but none matches my addiction to HALO,now after preparing the CONSOLE for the HALO 3, my vain in waiting will be finally over,yes HALO 3 was launched last night in the US,and will be launched in Europe tomorrow.Wait,when will ASIA get a glimpse of it? anyway,the thought of it being released now has ease my trembling hands....hehehheh...

Good Value for money

Went out to have sungkai buffet last sunday with my family members at Rizqun hotel restaurant,upon reaching there,there were already long queques at the food station,with lots and lots of people,(we arrived at 6pm). We went straight to our reserved table,the setup of the buffet was great, 2 dining places,inside the restaurant and outside ,and also 2 main course food stations,with Ambuyat stall,Lamb stall,Briyani stall and Teh tarik stall,all within easy reach of the patrons.I didnt manage to take the pictures of those stalls and food stations,and didnt even bring along my DSLR , just whipped out my K800 and start clicking, sorry about the quality of the pics.The best part of the buffet is it only cost $19.50 with lots and lots of food choices to eat.

Thank you all

Melon Face

My hand with needle in emergency room My hand with needle in observation room Something bad happened to me yesterday morning just after sahur,i was ill,it was an allergy attack. First my eyes were becoming itchy,then i started to cough,and my face started to swell like a melon. the part where i decided to go the A&E of ripas was when i had difficulities in breathing,woke up the missus to take me to Ripas. Thanks to the young chap of the A&E,i think he is a nurse,i was immediately taken to see the doctor,and after checking up on me, my whole body was feeling itchy. They decided to administer me with some medicine through my butt,or was it my thigh?They also inserted needle on my left hand so that they can administered 3 more types of allergy medicines and i was kept in the emergency room for 3 hours before being transferred to the observation room. i was finally discharged after spending time there for 7 hours.Now i am at home feeling a lot better.If you're all are wondering how my face looked like when i had the attack,let just say my face looked like HITCH(will smith) when he was having his allergy attack and looking for benadryl in the grocery shop with eva mendez..hahhahah

Sungkai at Atrium

Finally me and the family heads down to The Empire Atrium sungkai Buffet after reading Son of Brunei review on the sungkai buffet,i must say as always Empire have always been a place of opulence and wealth,well it is a 6 star hotel,anyway after going through all the food, well not all of it, i still feel unsatisfied,at least the Mee rebus put a smile on my face. i guess the lack of choices and also the arabian plus indian food is not my main favorite.Anyway i must say empire Atrium cafe desserts is a must taste for everyone,because of the varieties that they presented.Finally i will give my experienced sungkai there a three and a half stars,why?2 stars for the food 1 star for the environment and half star for the services,why?well there was this incident where the missus was taking the baked fish and asked the chef serving it what the sauce was and the answer was"nda ku tau ah"(i dont know)" isnt that ironic? anyway dont let my review stops you all from going there,heck why am i complaining anyway, it just cost $25.oo bnd per head and they are throwing lucky draws including packages for umrah and Empire Hotel which itself cost more than my $25 buffet.

Fancy a shag..darling.....

This is taken from Yahoo. ULYANOVSK, Russia - Make a baby. Win a car. Don't be surprised if the streets are empty and curtains drawn in this central Russian region Wednesday as residents take up an offer by the regional governor to help stem Russia's demographic crisis. Ulyanovsk Gov. Sergei Morozov has decreed Sept. 12 a Day of Conception and is giving couples time off from work to procreate. Couples who give birth nine months later on Russia's national day — June 12 — will receive money, cars, refrigerators and other prizes. It's the third year that the Volga River region, about 550 miles east of Moscow, has held the contest. Since then, the number of competitors — and the number of babies born — has been on the rise. "If there's a good, healthy atmosphere at home within the family, if the husband and wife both love each other and their child, they will be in good spirits and that will extend to the workplace. So there will be a healthy atmosphere throughout the country," he told AP Television News. "The leadership (of the country) is interested in the family." Russia's population has dropped since the 1991 Soviet collapse, fed by declining birth rates, a low life expectancy, a spike in emigration, a frayed health care system and other factors. The country — the world's largest — now has just 141.4 million citizens, making it one of the most sparsely settled nations. And experts estimate the population could fall below 100 million by 2050. "I don't think people get pregnant just to get a prize on the 12th (of June) but if the dates coincide and they give you a ... car there's nothing wrong with that," said Yuri, a 28-year-old father-to-be who declined to give his last name. In Ulyanovsk, everyone who has a baby in a local hospital on June 12 gets some kind of prize. The winners of the grand prize — a locally made SUV called a UAZ-Patriot — are couples judged by a committee on criteria such as "respectability" and "commendable parenting." Perhaps not surprisingly, the effort has drawn snickers. According to one joke circulating on the Internet, regional university teachers — after being ordered to draw up special activities for Wednesday — proposed covering the floors of school gymnasiums with mattresses and dimming the lights. Andrei Kartuzov, who won the last "make a baby" grand prize along with his wife, Irina, said they had been planning to have another child anyway. The campaign "is a good help for people, especially for those living in villages," he said. "If they hold such actions every year, then maybe we will have (more children) growing up and Russia will be bigger." We should start doing something like these here in Brunei,"now,Honey if you're reading this,hehehe..."mun paham bisai"..
