The Melancholy of My U900

As some of you may have heard, my precious samsung u900 literally drop dead; from a table top all the way to the floor. I’ve sent it to a service centre in KL for checkup and they said it’s the screen which needs to be replaced, resulting in a hefty price tag of RM200, enough to make not only me but my ancestors weep in utter despair.

Worry not for I’ve decided to claim back my phone and send it to another trusted repairman for checkup back in Penang. Hopefully the screen won’t need repairing.

Anyways wish my phone a swift recovery k? I’ll give you lots of cookies :3

Culinary Escapades

It’s been a while since the  last post. I’ve been busy sourcing and procuring materials for my college studies. Thank god there’s an art shop just behind where I study. Anyhow we were given a list of materials which are compulsory to be attained ASAP. We were given just a few days as most classes will begin using them almost immediately.

One funny thing about it is that this certain college also offered us a not so complimentary service of assisting in purchasing all of our art materials. Of course all those in a lump sum of RM200. I decided not to opt for this as I don’t have enough money with me. Few days later, I got the supply from that art shop and it was only RM155.30. I dropped cutting knife for an X-acto knife.

There you go, another so-called self proclamation of non-profitable assistance in procuring equipments by the lecturers.

Anyhow let’s put aside that matter for I have another surprise in store for you guys. As promised I’ve been venturing into the culinary world as of late, with our first recipe being the American Sloppy Joe’s. Of course beef was substituted by chicken meat. This messy burger turned out to be surprisingly good. We managed to make it taste almost like a burger patty, except we used real raw chicken meat for this, no preservatives used. The only issue which we encountered was that it was on the sweeter side as we used a low grade ketchup which had higher sugar content.

Aside from that we cooked an all-Asian meal called Turmeric Fried Rice. Chicken meat cutlets and Capsicums were used in this. One thing we messed up in this was that the owner of the kitchen we used did not have salt. What was seen on the kitchen counter was a bottle of white matter which looked like salt, at first I got my friend to taste it and he said it was salt. Soon after sometime into cooking, we found out the rice wasn’t as salty as we expected. As a result, we dumped a lot of those white matter in to the rice. It never solved the issue and we decided to use few tablespoons of oyster sauce. Even that only made it taste halfway we wanted it to be.

Later after the meal, we were pondering on our failure. To my curiosity I went and taste the white matter myself and I found out that it was actually AJI-NO-MOTO. God, how fucked we were. I hope I don’t lose my hair. In the end it wasn’t a total failure as we achieved the desired taste, just that it lacked saltiness.

That’s all for now. My upcoming recipe would probably be a Kurma Curry Chicken Rice. Stay tuned guys.

Thoughts in Life

I never really wanted to write about my personal life in vitaminvariant but I think from now onwards I’ll slip in a lil bit of what I am up to whenever I feel like it. By the way if you’ve noticed, there’s no more pop-up anymore! I fixed it sometime ago.

Anyhow, please bear with me as this is a serious shit entry. Skip if you’re not into this.

Life is equivalent to a walk on paths filled with countless forks, bumps and such. Sometimes we befriend those who travel down the same path as we do but there are times when we come to a fork; things such as separation happens, be it physically or emotionally, be it temporary or permanently.

I’m not a person who look back at my past because I hate the nostalgic feeling which I’ll get out of it. Hate me for this if you may but this is who I am.

While I may not like nostalgia, I, however am grateful towards those who I’ve spent my time with. Those who have took part in shaping who I am today and vice versa. Those whom I have made memories with.

I don’t take this parting as our end, but I think of it as the beginning of another chapter for us. We still have many more chapters to go, so by all means let us continue on with our story till the end.
