National Day Eve BBQ

We decided to have a get together among friends to celebrate the Merdeka (Malaysian Independence day).

We invited about 20 people...friends plus some of our colleagues. As usual preparation of the food started from early in the morning. Starting with the marketing then the marinating. The menu consisted of:

  1. Fresh portobello mushrooms stuffed with cheddar cheese, cheery tomatoes and wrapped with streaky bacon.
  2. Pork Ribs marinated with smokey bbq sauce and chilly.
  3. Yong Tau Foo (bean curd stuffed with mince pork).
  4. Fresh Prawns without any marination (so as to appreciate the natural sweetness of the prawns)
  5. Squid marinated with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Lamb Chops marinated with black pepper sauce.
  7. Pork Stay marinated with my mom's minced chilly and tumeric.
  8. Fried bee hoon (rice noodles)
  9. Fried garlic rice
  10. Jelly (courtesy of Lisa)
  11. Chicken Wings marinated with BBQ Sauce and honey.
  12. Green Salad.
  13. Ice Cream and Soft Drinks (Courtesy of Chris)
  14. A bottle of Dimples 15 years old (Courtesy of Kar Wai)


Of course not to forget the beer...courtesy of Kevin.





Of course before the guest arrived we started the cooking first...




of course being the VVIP, Victor had to be fed first prior to the arrival of our guests...

We even had an official photographer for the event...He is a very low profile but highly in demand professional...if you need him to cover your event drop me a line and I will hook you up...by the way, the pics taken here are from my "point and shoot" Nikon compact digital cam and not from a DSLR...just in case if you are wondering *wink*




Of course after awhile we took turns BBQ'ing...I was getting hungry and thirsty (for beer heheh)...also had some business discussions going on at the same time...




The Kids of course enjoyed themselves...by the time Fong Fong slept it was around 1230am....wayyyyyyy past his bedtime.

The adults also enjoyed the night...

One Group outside eating and drinking the night away...
The other group gambling the night away haha...





Oh yah....Anthony now has a good friend...they were together all night...in the pics above they were trying to plant somethings...don't ask me what...as when I enquired of Anthony "what are you doing?" he replied "I am planting something" haha...HAPPY MERDEKA FOLKS AND THANKS FOR COMING!!!

Is this the Malaysia that we want?

I am saddened...no strike that...SICK of narrow minded individuals or groups who still live in the dark ages. Today's paper highlighted the protest of a group of 50 muslims who is against the relocation of a Hindu temple to seksyen 23 Shah Alam. What was the reason given? 80% of seksyen 23 Shah Alam are Muslims...what kind of mentality is that? Malaysia is getting all kinds of publicity...the wrong kind of publicity...sigh. Check out www.jeffooi.com for the video of the protest or just google it on youtube. Malaysia memang boleh...sigh.

PAS Protest MLTR Concert

I don't understand. Why waste energy and resources to mobilise a protest? Why? Nothing better to do is it? I am Kelantanese and am proud to say that I supported them during the election because, despite being a non-muslim, PAS has done a wonderful job in Governing my home state. But this latest incident is too much...for goodness sake mobilise your resources to organise other events...THIS IS NOT HELPING PAS...YOU ARE JUST ALIENATING the Malaysian Youths who might not vote for you come the next GE.

Race-Free Form

Today's Star headlines the statement made by the DPM that Malaysians will no longer need to state their race in official forms soon. ABOUT TIME!!!! As a Malaysian I am pissed off that every time I fill up a Government form I need to indicate my race. For goodness sake why indicate your race? The reason for the change in policy is due to the PM's vision of 1Malaysia...which by the way my dear PM is not new. Just visit Kelantan (my home state) and you will see the 'muhibah-ness' of Kelantanese. All races are one...in my opinion Kelantan is the ultimate example of racial unity...1Malaysia? Come on...this concept is nothing new.

BN Fielding Disbarred Lawyer

I am shocked...ok let's be honest..I am disgusted at the Barisan Nasional for fielding a candidate in the Permatang Pasir by election that has been disbarred by the Malaysian Bar for misconduct. The candidate in question, was found guilty for failure of refunding RM161K. I have always thought that prospective candidates must be clean...ok...granted everyone is human...but come on, who would want to have an elected official that has been tainted? No matter how the BN spins it, the candidate was found guilty. I find the statement released by BN stating that the Bar Council's action is "just an action taken by a group responsible for its members' discipline" ridiculous...come on..don't the BN conduct background checks on their potential canditates before announcing the candidacy?...please don't mistake me for supporting the opposition. I am apolitical. I don't support any particular party.
