2009, Year of Regret

We've come a long way. 18 years in the making, and to screw it all up at this one point. This year has been filled with many regrets. A year filled with the number 68 haunting all my tests and exams. I now hate the number 68. Always thinking about the future and not about the present, I seem to have derailed from what I hoped to achieve in the future by stuffing up the present. I have let myself down. I hope this is an eye opener for me for the future, so I don't make the same mistake ever again.

Well enough depressing talk, time for a good ol' blog. 09, gone so fast, just like every other year. Only a few years ago did 1999 seem like a not so distant past, and to think about it now... it's been one whole decade! Time has just gone, KAPOOT. Boy will I miss the days of saying OH something...bring on the double digit years! So let's see, what is there to look forward to in 2010. Turning 18 and going clubbing? University? FIFA World Cup? Movies? To be honest, not really looking forward to any of them.

Anyway, it's time for another installment of Jayc Oliver.

Today's menu: Bacon and Mushroom Omlette with Mashed Fotatoes.

Preparing the food to be cooked.




Might I also add, those eggs were cracked with ONE hand, oh how pro I am. That is before I noticed some egg shells landing in there, never mind, nothing a fork cant solve. First step was preparing the bacon, mushroom, tomato and onion mixture. Being the douche that I am, I went to add oil into the pot. What is wrong you might ask, well turns out its a non-stick pot. I might as well just drink the oil. While stir-frying I couldn't help myself but attempt a little toss around. I know you guys want to hear an epic fail and see a picture of all the bacon and tomato everywhere....but I SUCCEEDED!!! The secret is in the flick of the wrist...I think.


After cooking the bacon, mushroom, tomato and onion mixture, I decided to have a Yakult break. Malaysia's Vitagen is actually way better, with their variety of different flavours.


This is one the things I make sure to drink when I go to Malaysia, grape and apple are personal favourites of mine. Next comes the frying of the egg. Once the egg is nearly done, add the mixture to one half the side and sprinkle cheese over it. Being the creative self I am, I added coriander as well, because I am just oh so chef like.


Finally comes the flip, make or break of the omlette. Here it goes.....
















Well it wasn't all a success, wasn't much of a fail either. I give it 70%, still a B. Leaving school and yet it still comes and haunts me somehow *shivers*. Well in the end, it didn't turn out so bad after all. I went to mash the potatoes and served on a plate. Although the recipe instructs to serve on plate and eat immediately, I couldn't help myself but to play with my food.



I like the second photo. Well the meal didn't turn out that bad at all. I give it 3 Acdomallii's out of 5.

P.S. Through out the year, I've learnt that my mum has a little school girl crush over Wang Lee Hom.

Stress

Today is Monday. Tomorrow is Tuesday. The day after that is DOOMSday! Yes siry bob, TEE results finally come out. After so many weeks of relaxation and forgetting about school, it's all about to come crashing down. The stress has kicked in, and not until today have I started to breathe heavily. So come tomorrow at 11.59PM, I will have a good reason to be on the computer. I will be facebooking!!! I mean waiting for the clock to strike 12. All year, people have been telling me not to stress out, "you should be able to reach a 90 TER". That gave me hope and confidence. My parents on the other hand, "you are doomed, we're expecting something like a 50-60 TER". Thanks mum. And followed by a "you should become a plumber or an electrician, go learn a trade straight away".

No mum, I do not suit that look. To make matters more exciting, my dad will buy me something if I reach 90 and above. I'd like to feel cocky, but in the back of my head it just doesn't feel that way. Come Wednesday, I could either be really happy, or really sad. I hope to win lotto. If not then then the happy will do I guess. I shall do a happy dance:

On another note, I have been rather addicted to band hero. In no time I shall be a pro and flaunt my stuff in Timezone and at sad parties. Another addiction is Dragonball Kai. Pretty much Dragonball Z all over again but without pointless filler. Half the time, all the memories. Although after catching up on the past 34 episodes, I must wait week by week for each episode now. Sucks being on time.

Christmas Spirit

Ho Ho Ho Merry Everyone. In the spirit of Christmas, here's a special edition to my blogging. Alright that drained a lot of spirit out of me, that's about all the Christmas you will get out of me. The closest thing to opening presents for me today was opening the Milo tin to get make my Milo. Ever since finishing primary school, there hasn't been much Christmas spirit left in me. It all existed in the life of primary school with the happy colouring in and little last day of school parties. Not to mention all the cartoons and movies that used to be on TV around this time of the year. Oh what a memorable time it was. Well Christmas in Malaysia last year wasn't too bad either. Was quite a surprise how festive it got around that time, I bet half the people there don't even know the meaning of Christmas.



Well my Christmas day has begun with a jog in the morning so far. And what I have learnt, spitting is a pretty hard art to master, especially when becoming more exhausted. Spitting actually takes a lot of effort, trying to get the perfect round shape without leaving behind a trail of spit from the droplet to your mouth. I remember running around UWA one day and my friend catching me spitting on myself. No, I did not intentionally spit on myself, I had lost the strength to actually make a good one, and it came back and hit me in the hand. And take it from me, it is not a good feeling.

Acdomallii

Ok, my weekly blog has become more like monthly. When this first started, I was going to be committed to this blog, weekly blogs, but some how I just became lazy like always. Another thing I have become lazy with are my morning jogs. I haven't gone in maybe two weeks now. I remember the first week, my dad woke me up, and my excuse to not go jogging was because of a bad blister on the side of my two feet. Yes, it did hurt some way...but deep down I didn't want to jog either, so I just went back to sleep. Another week I skipped for a reasonable excuse. Seeing as I joined the gym, YES THE GYM!!!, I felt I can do my jogging in the air conditioning rather than outside. And if any of you are wondering, I did jog at the gym, I'm not THAT much of a slacker.



Well nothing much has happened recently, besides work and other random stuff. How ever, something really interesting happened at work one day. A work mate, David, and I had embarked on the creation of a new word:
Acdomallii /Ak-dom-ah-lee *in french accent*/ noun -
1. the special muscle in your body which can tear while wrestling with Thiago Alves or from over straining
2. any object one decides they want it to be
3. a location anywhere one decides they want it to be
Acdomallii verb - the art of doing anything with great awesomeness.
As you can see, it is a rather useful word to use anywhere in one's vocabulary. Me and my friends believe this will be the next 'LOL' and will sweep the world by storm. This word was influenced by the great Georges St. Pierre.


On another note, I don't know whether there is a problem with me and movies, or a problem with other people. I never seem to be satisfied with many movies people make it out to be. I say this following the viewing of "Avatar". Firstly, there were good animations in the mesmerising scenery and attractive colours. Secondly....wait that's it. During the start of the movie, I was just thinking to myself, what makes this movie the blockbuster of the year or some shit like that. After the first glance, I can see the visual aspects were good. After that, I was expecting god twists in the plot. How ever, after seeing such a simplistic plot with corny and predictable lines...I was majorly let down. *spoiler alert* and apart from the scientist dying, no one else died anymore. BLOODY happy and predictable endings. This movie is a reminder of the Transformers franchise. After great expectations from one and two, I was still left disappointed after each movie. So tell me people, is there something wrong with me? Or are people just so easily amused these days. I want a proper action movie! Which leads me to looking forward to an upcoming movie, The Expendables.



I want my 16.50 back...

I Wet My Pants

Yes it's been a while since I last blogged. I have been so busy lately with my...my...ok I was lazy. This could possibly turn out like my previous blog. Well yesterday morning, while vacuuming and mopping the floor, I had a few ideas to blog about. That however has all vanished from my mind through out the day and now I am back to square one, let's see what I can remember.

Well let's just start with yesterday, yes I did some house chores. While vacuuming and mopping the floor, I thought back to when I used to be little. Back then, I used to always wonder how come my mum would do this once a week all the time. I would think, why bother doing this, our house is clean enough already isn't it? How naive I was, from this past week, I have learnt that it was because of this weekly routine that our house was clean. Once I was done, I walked through the house without any grains of sand sticking to my feet...such a great/clean feeling.

Anyway, while mopping up I got myself pretty wet. What pissed me off how ever is the fact that when I'm done, I walk through the house basking in my good work only to find....more dirt! While taking the mop outside to dry, I seem to have brought in some dead leaves which scattered across the clean floor I had created. What did I do, I grabbed a towel and wiped them up. Screw cleaning it all again, I was tired. On the way back to my computer table, I notice some more dust or hair lying on the floor, by that point I had just given up and let them be.



Well recently I have been watching Glee, or should I say watched Glee, seeing as it has reached a hiatus for 4 months! When it first started I thought it was rather lame, how ever after giving it a chance, I see myself liking it very much. It makes me want to break into song and dance in my every day activity, like when I vacuum the floor.



Might I add, Puck's mowhawk is rather cool...though you guys won't be seeing me sporting one any time soon.
