我们大家把包袱放下，向2010迈步！我的故事，又开始了新的一页。

Restaurant City is addictive!
Maybe I should consider running a real life restaurant business myself! Then I shall hire chooi yun, steph, siew lee, zhi hao, choon wei, enoch and jia hui as chefs. jin xuan and shu wen can be the cashier. Nick as the captain, with the best 3 chicks on my facebook pamela, felicia and theresa as waitresses dressed in bunny suit. Maybe for nick's sake, I shall consider kayren as well if he thinks my recommended waitresses not hot enough for him...there will be a kitchen war among the male chefs and the horny captain. jun xiang will be the official photographer and chief promoter whereas the rest of whoever not mentioned will be hired on part time basis to just sit there and dine in so as to make the restaurant look full from the outside. The restaurant business mentality is to present a crowded atmosphere.
Location of the Restaurants? If you are gonna dream then dream big. One next to the FH Aachen, another next to RWTH Aachen, then another the ice cream shop Del Negro itself. Targetted market is foolish germans who have never tried real asian food before and to break the assumption that the asienpfanne from the FH canteen is an authentic asian food. That was a cheap imitation that I am eager to erase from my eyesight as well as the countless imbiss churning out sucky germanized asian food. Why choose Del Negro? Many have witnessed the enormous crowd during summer for their actually average tasting ice cream, I will put steph and jia hui in charge there. It will be the ultimate dessert combo with del negro's ice cream + steph's cheese cake + jia hui's choc rum cake. Initial strategy to pull the crowd in is the endless publication of bikini pictures of the waitresses to create the wow factor. (Sex factor manipulated)
Menu of the main courses? Starting with cheap commercial sushi from jusco to build up fanbase then eventually more exotic meals such as bak kut teh with panadol and teh tarik with marijuana leaves(Drug factor also manipulated). If there is problem with the health censorship, then roll out the ultimate malaysian mamak food as replacement..."maggi goreng dengan perisa maggi". We are doing it the chinese way...low cost, high return but eat on your own peril! Note that any obstacle faced by the business model will be met with even more "ruthless" and "evil" malaysian mamak way! If maggi goreng failed, then I have to consider burger ramli, bubur ayam McD, roti bomb, ribena lychee and so on. As I said the options are limitless when it comes to cheap food that can be sold expensively and in EUROS!!! I can see $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ flowing in....
Ultimate aim is to change the german's way of eating. I hope one day they will hold a sotong ball in one hand and a packet of sugar cane drink in the other, not the boring sausage and beer anymore. How to make all the above mentioned JPA scholars to work for me? Ammend the JPA contract to make it compulsory for everyone to work under me for 6 years to repay the bond. Maybe some loyalty award to the star chef, the star male chef will get sponsored armani suits, armani watches and BMW Z4 as company car if he is the winner. The female winner shall have weekly paid for beauty and spa treatment, 1000 euros shopping voucher monthly. You will wonder who can sustain such business model with such lavish reward. The answer is the germans who will be paying 20 euros for my 1 ringgit worth of maggi goreng. I am sure they will ask for more if the maggi goreng is prepared in a "proper" way and served by the waitresses in a "proper" manner too.
Thats not all if some of you all felt unfairly treated. The official photographer gets a new lens every month, the waitresses get victoria secrets lingerie and agent provocateur perfume, the captain is cared for if the waitresses are in good shape. Before I forget, those hired to just come sit down and eat free is already getting a raw deal. So no extra incentives allocated.
What is all this crap about? It's already crap, why bother to ask? No offence intended. Back to playing restaurant city!

Today's hall of fame
Legends are introduced into halls of fame but I would like to break the code and honour the efforts of everyone involved in making the party a success. I am a bad organizer so I will know that anyone will be better than me by going that extra mile. Siew Lee did just that. She might be petite, but she commmands respect. She has the magic to make things happen something which I currently lack. Well maybe she is the oldest fairy among all(laughs), but she waves a magic wand and the end result is marvellous. I really hope she can view this as an honest compliment because she would probably think it was too over the board.
Certainly not lacking in effort, I can also feel the food oozing awesomeness. The pasta is of restaurant serving standard. Right up there with her is the ever self demanding zhi hao. Was that my best ever lamb stew? Yes, without a doubt but he said he can yet improve. That says alot of his mentality, being second best is nothing and his only enemy is himself. So where can I place myself, surely the top of the top right! Ya only when in the absence of the above mentioned two. I was actually feeling lucky the dish did not turn out bad because I am as always the see-what-then-add-what-cook. Tell you all an honest truth, I came over with absolute no plan whatsoever because I am too lazy to think of one. The red wine chicken is a product of a planless dish.
A special mention to the herbal tea made by nick. Such small gesture is what I treasure greatly in life. Thank you everyone, you all made my day. For those who are absent due to various reason, it was the meal of friendship, there will always be place for everyone!

Contradictions of the number game
The number 1 is a coveted number in various aspects such as academics and sporting events. We have arrived at a stage where being number 2 means nothing. The winner takes it all. In the UEFA champions league final, nobody will care who is the other finalist and the Queen sang it beautifully with the lyrics..."no time for losers cause we are the champions"
In social network terms, 2 is a couple. Lovers or husband and wife. 3 is a triangle, 4 is double tag team, 5 is a basketball team, so on and so forth. Ultimately, 11 makes a football team! Nobody can bare living the entire life alone. The funny part is not many can bare having a noisy, fussy, naggy other half too. I rather have some noise in my life right now though provided the noise can be flexibly tuned. Cheers!
Now now, the gist of my ramblings, the contradiction of the number game in terms of organization of activities. The name organizer sounds good right! Wow, Organizer...so orgasmic! Wait a minute you are missing a point here mate. From my point of view, organizer is the poor bastard charged with the task of fulfilling everyone's demands. When you have someone saying, hey I want to go this and that place, go organize. Bless you mate! There is always a tendency for things not to go accordingly to plan. When that happens, please spare the organizer and be grateful you are not in his shoes. Fail to plan, plan to fail is a common blame levelled to the organizer. You don't go screwing the organizer upside down when things go wrong. Why not take a look at yourself first. What have you done or not done at all. I have a strong disdain at those who shake his legs doing nothing then start spewing fire when things go awry. When you have not do anything valuable of note, please be shameful and be quiet, do not take out your own inadequecies on the poor organizer.
Lets get back on track shall we for I have been sidetracked by the unfortunate event of reminiscenting on my torturous path of organizing events. Countless snubs notwithstanding, the cruel stare that I got when my plan didn't work out is the most heart chilling one. My lackasaidal attitude towards organizing events is mainly due to all the chill gathering in my heart. Ever glad to be just a bit part player, I have no doubt that I am a careless and blur person. Hence spare me the misery of organizing events. I can't dribble with a football, so I won't go saying Ronaldo is miles better than Messi because both are thousand miles better than me.
Oh my god, where are we again? The number game! Yes, yes. How many people makes a nice group? Basically no limit if everyone is at ease with each other in the ideal world. We might laugh when we meet, but lets not kid ourselves alright. If you know water and oil will never blend with each other so just stay away from each other then! Adding them together forcefully will only be disastrous in case of fire. Sometimes, one plus one do not equal to two...

present
If I am santa claus, my present would be making sure that every day will be x'mas. Present is a gift you have now. Appreciate present, not the past nor the future. Let the present make you happy.
Hohoho...let the festive mood kick in!
Hohoho...let the festive mood kick in!
my room
Dear Santa,
I would like to introduce you to my room. In my room, you can find dust, bio waste, empty bottles, waste papers, plastic bags, unwashed clothes and many other junks scattered all around the limited area of 22 meter square. For many this represents untidiness, irresponsiblity and even portrays a messy lifestyle. My room, my mess...
The pringles and toblerones on the corner table and the dumb bells laying motionless on the floor defines the 2 aspects of my life. The junk food is the unwanted distractions whereas the dumb bells are the heavy task awaiting me to accomplish. There must be something very wrong when you have many tasks ahead but you felt very relaxed.
Mummy said to me many times, fold your blanket after you wake up. Such small details in your daily routine will ultimately shape your future being. It is a healthy habit called discipline. Living alone, cooking alone, eating alone, working alone, every thing alone. Though I hate being alone but I am used to the loneliness now. Discipline is all I need to pull me through this phase of my life.
My room represents my life and it is messy! Are you willing to help me clean up my "room"? For once I hope I don't have to depend on myself. It is christmas soon and I want my "room" clean for X'mas. I want the sunlight back, I want a new "room"...

Das Leben ist scheiße.
Niemand kann behaupten, dass sein oder ihr Leben ganz am Anfang bis jetzt alles super gelaufen ist. Wir treten immer auf scheiße in unserem Leben und das macht das Leben so eine große scheiße. Egal was für eine scheiße haben wir inzwischen getroffen oder wenn Pech gehabt sogar gegessen, das Leben oder die Scheiße muss weiter gehen.
Das Leben ist scheiße, aber es gibt noch scheiß Freunde wie ich dabei, sodass wir nicht allein gegen die Scheiße/das Leben spielen müssen.
Ich gebe keine Entschuldigung für mein scheiß geschriebene Deutsch, weil die Sprache auch eine ........ ist. Was fehlt noch in den Satz, also die Scheiße fehlt noch, aber du hast doch genug scheiße in dein Leben! Also, last but not least, isst glücklich und scheiß glücklich! Wenn wir das Leben lieben, müssen wir die Scheiße auch lieben!
Life is shit because you talked and done shit to others, felt like shit because you really have tasted the real shit! Damn! Go freakin brush your teeth...

和朋友一起走过忧伤的日子
或许是冬天的错吧？我身边的朋友一个接一个都在emo着。我很无奈也感到无助，我自己何尝不是那种人呢？现在从另一个角度看，我还蛮恨那只会怨天尤人的我。我想帮他们，但自己也需要人帮忙啊。23岁了，为什么想东西还是那么不成熟...
有些人借酒消愁，另一些则痛不欲生。我们都要长大，这世界除了爱情，还有亲情和友情。虽说失去任何一个是很痛苦，但是有一些东西是公平的。大家拥有的时间是一样的，是在乎你如何运用它。一天24小时掌握在你手中，与其哭着过，不如笑着过。如果付出努力没有回报，那是因为你一直都钻牛角尖。谁说过努力一定有回报，那没有回报你就干脆什么都不做了吗？正确的态度是付出了，如果还是不行，那得学习承受失败并把它放下，不让它成为你的包袱。
生命不是一个礼物，所以更加不能随便糟蹋它。做人难，人难做，难做人...但是我不觉得死了就一了百了。自寻短见的人，多数都不得善终，往往死后比活着还痛苦。
话说会来，你们如果想喝，我陪你喝。这不是一个好朋友该做的，但是我希望可以陪伴你们一起走过忧伤的日子...一步...一步...走向美好的未来。我不是天生乐观的人，但是我知道每一天只要还有一口气在，一定有机会快快乐乐的过。
很喜欢抄袭tvb的我，送jh，zh和yl一人一个糖莲子，希望你们能苦中有一点甜。

I see the world through your eyes
And it is indeed beautiful. Dad and mum loved you to bits and you are a little princess to your brothers. You are quite the naughty and pretty spoiled lil sis now, no thanks to me wahahaha! You just have to do the same trick and you know I will get you things you want. (from my lil sis's eyes)
The guy in front of you is quite decent ;) abit too shy for his own good and pretty nervous when his sight met yours but he is just a friend. The feel is not quite right though. (miss w from 4 years ago)
The future is still within your grasp and you have to go out and show'em what you are made of. (when I see my reflection on the mirror)
I am in love with the world through the eyes of the girl who is still around the morning after. (from Elliott Smith song say yes)
