    • My Random Five-Ingredient Recipe

      • This is what I call a "southeast Asian style appetizer" that you can eat with rice or with other dishes too. You don't even need to cook anything to prepare it. All you'd need to do is to mix all the ingredients together and you're done. Simple. Here are the ingredients:


        Lots of chili (the hotter the better)
        Slice it thin or smash it.


        Shallots
        Diced.


        Garlic
        Finely chopped.


        Soy sauce
        The major ingredient here. It's better if you have both sweetened and salted soy sauce mixed together.


        A few tablespoon of vinegar
        You may also substitute it with lime juice if vinegar is not for you.

    • I Wish I Were Fluent In...

      • There are at least 2 other languages I wish I could speak fluently. And not just speak, I wish I could read/write in those languages too as if I'm a native speaker of them.


        Roman Forum

        The first language is the Roman Latin, the "Lingua Latina" (the language of which French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, etc. are descended from). This is the 'scientific' language, I mean the language being used to name many stuff in scientific fields, and also a 'law' language where many terms in the law fields are in Latin language. However that is not the reason I wanted to be a master of this language, despite it's a dead/extinct language. The real reason is I love history, especially about the ancient Rome. Also I love to read the Bible in Latin too because it feels more 'original' that way.

        Another language I wish I could speak would be the Japanese language (Nihongo). I love anime/manga and Japanese games/novels and I think knowing Japanese language would be an advantage as an anime fan because that way I wouldn't need to wait for translated materials before I could enjoy them. In other words by knowing this language it would allow me to enjoy those anime/manga as soon as they are available to the Japanese. Now wouldn't that be awesome? (^_^)

    • I Hope I Never Lose... My Own Existence

      • Being exists is the greatest 'pleasure' I've ever had in my life. I can't imagine if I've never existed or I can't imagine if something like that is going to happen in the future. It's because I exists that I can witness and feel the existence of others. Likewise it's because I am exists that other people know me. In fact I don't mind if I'm dead as long as people remember that I'm once here.


        Existence 1

        Being turned into nothingness is what I fear the most. Losing life is still better than losing existence because with death at least I am still exists in a different form. I don't mind whether it's in a form of a decomposed corpse or a historical record, as long as there are people who knows I was here. If you want to know how do I define nothingness, imagine the moment before the Big Bang. If you think it's something impossible to imagine than you already know half about my greatest fear.

    • My Hometown (but I spent most my lifetime being outside it)

      • I was born in a small town in Malaysia named "Sri Aman". The word "Sri" literally means "glory" while the word "Aman" means "peace". So "Sri Aman" means "the glorious and peaceful town". I'm not sure about the "glorious" part but if you ask me, the town is really "peaceful" because it is silent and not crowded, though to most people the silence that they feel inside the town may resulting the lonely feeling. At least that's quite true to me who have been spending more than half of my life growing up somewhere else.


        Class Trip to Batang Ai

        Sri Aman is located somewhere in the state of Sarawak in Malaysian Borneo (a.k.a. East Malaysia). It is used to be known as "Simanggang" but changed it's name to "Sri Aman" after the decline of Sarawak branch of Malaysian Communist Party, of which the leader of the Sarawak branch of that party surrendered in Simanggang. It is one of the oldest town in Sarawak, probably the second oldest in the entire state of Sarawak, for it being recognized as the second division in Sarawak after Kuching (The Cat City). Too bad Sri Aman seems to be neglected by the country's administrations thus it got itself "The Sleeping Town" moniker. As a person who was born in that town I can't help but feel bad about it but there's not much I can do to make a change.

        Anyways I ave to admit that Sri Aman has very little potential to become a developed city in the near future. Natural resources is a scarce; not to mention that most part of it are still unsurveyed and unexplored. Sometimes I feel like to blame the state's management too for ripping off many of Sri Aman's potential area for tourism by splitting it into smaller divisions. I may be complain too much but as a person who was born in that town I have the rights to do so. Just so you know I'm complaining because I love my hometown.

    • On Being in the Spotlight

      • Yes I've been on the stage several times. If I'm not mistaken it's more than 10 times, to say the least. Of course being on the stage just to receive some gifts or certificates does not count. The reason I being on the stage may be not that great like performing in a musical or something like that, but I can say I did performing something in front of the audience and receiving lots of applause for that. The following is about my experience from the first time performing on a stage to the most recent one.


        Stage lights

        The first one was when I was still in kindergarten. Not much to say about that but I can say being exposed to stage performance since my earlier days does help in overcoming my nervousness and embarrassment standing in front of a crowd. During my teenage years I took part in school dramas, after encouragement by my big sisters who was a drama queen in her high school. During my college time I gave speeches several times on stage too because I was active in extra-curricular activities. And the most recent one is (last year) I performed in stage demonstration for wing chun kung fu.
