We went to the last day of Maybank’s Treats Fair at Mid Valley with only one mission – to get a deep fat fryer.

The fair was crazy packed but we managed to get in and out within 1/2 hour.

At first I thought nobody was offering it as every merchant was pushing air fryers (which in my opinion is just an overpriced toaster oven) but in the end we found our deep fat fryer!

A Kenwood that is rated 4.5 stars on Amazon. Score!

It is pretty good looking too compared to the clunky and badly-assembled models we’ve been seeing at local electrical shops.

# – Metal mouth alert. Been a while since I smiled with my teeth visible.

Though we had to top up RM52 on top of ALL the points my card had, it was totally worth it.

We then left Mid Valley and headed to our neighbourhood supermarket for a lot of frozen nuggets, drummets, calimari rings etc. We also bought 6 litres of cooking oil.

# – Our new deep fat fryer.

# – First batch of nuggets!

# – Frying away with no oil splatter and smell.

image

# – Perfectly deep fried nuggets.

# – And perfectly fried potato wedges.

A common misconception is that deep fried food is unhealthy due to the grease but actually when fried with clean oil at the right temperature, it is less greasy and healthier than a plate of stir fried food #truestory

Not saying our frozen nuggets are healthy though hahahhahahaha

So many things we can do easily now… buffalo wings, churros, chuyauchar, deep fried Mars bars, deep fried fake crab meat, homemade crisps and so many more possibilities!

Good thing we got this after the treadmill hahahah.

Nice Saturday

Breaking out new stuff from Bangkok…

Had a nice day out with hubs doing a spot of shopping and catching up with my old friends.

We first had brunch at this restaurant in TTDI called Pickles & Fig.

They serve gourmet sandwiches mainly and really good smoothies.

# – My very delicious prawn salad ciabatta and goji berry smoothie.
image

The hubs had a salted beef pastrami with rotkraut which was stupendous. I loveeeee salted beef!

I ordered a prawn salad sandwich which was really good too….springy prawns, fresh crisp alfafa sprouts and confit tomatoes. I had a goji smoothie too…delicious but healthy.

Then we went to the Malaysia International Dive Expo (MIDE) at PWTC. Hunted for cheap and cheerful dive holidays and bought a few hundred ringgit worth of dive accessories (read: unnecessary but nice to have knick-knacks).

# – All we need is an extra dive comp to become an honorary Singaporean.

After that, headed to Pavillion for dinner with my buddies from primary school.

# – With Eric, Jayna and Ying.
image

I even got an early birthday present from Jayna :D

# – My first birthday present of this year!
image

Had a great time chatting about everything under the sun, or in this case under the ceiling of restaurant called Athena.

After dinner, we went to the loklok truck in TTDI for supper haha. Weekend so much indulge mah!

Came home and started watching a brand new series – Person of Interest since we finally finished Game of Thrones last night. As for GoT, holy mother of mother crap, what was THAT????????

Anyway PoI seems okay, a little formulaic but Jim Caviezel is nice to look at. It’s only 2 episodes though so I am hoping the show would find its footing soon.

Going to click publish and then watch a 3rd episode. Nights!

Why do people tolerate bad behaviours

I’ve always wondered whether it is an Asian thing, a Malaysian thing or a universal thing – this tolerance towards bullshit and sweeping under the carpet of bad behaviours.

You know what I mean? People notice something’s off early on but yet they let it fester. They keep quiet and wait and wait till it’s too much to bear. Like it’s magically going to be better?

You’d think that by reaching the point of no return that something would be done….

But no. No. No. No. No.

Then they close a door, check nobody’s behind them and then whine and complain, whine and complain, whine and complain to those who would listen.

Yet, they won’t do jack shit to change the circumstances even when they have every right and authority to do so. It’s not laziness, is it?

What is so bad about righting what’s wrong? It seems to me that people are afraid of offending them perpetrators or afraid of being seen as a trouble-maker which are both illogical and retarded.

I’ve heard something far more retarded – they don’t want to kill other people’s morale by raising a stink. Hello, last I heard is that you will kill morale by protecting the source of grievances.

I mean I understand for some aspects that there is no choice but to take it in the ass.

However, I am starting to notice that this sort of cowardly, nicey Lucy behaviour doesn’t discriminate situations. Generally, they would just take it, all the while spreading their buttcheeks themselves regardless of the situation, then whine about how bloody painful it was.

Why?!!! This really astounds me!
