I Changed My Domain Name!

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:38:00 +0000

It was a mistake to let my old domain name www.hevnboyz.com to go expired as I was so inactive in blogging and wasn't sure if I wanted to continue doing it. Like I said in a previous post. I almost come to a point where I almost wanted to quit blogging. But after going through a lot of thinking, I decided to stay active again since all the post I made meant so much to me. Really helps keep track of myself.

So I wanted to renew my domain hevnboyz.com again but I've only then come to notice that after it past its renewal date and if the domain expires, you are not able to re-register using the same domain name again, and if you are to retrieve the expired domain, you will have to contact the host itself and fees are needed for the retrieving work. So I say screw that! Since I'm to start fresh and new, I might as well just change a new domain name. After a few hours of thinking, I've come to settle for http://www.myuniqueattitude.com - My Unique Attitude and its now LIVE!

CNY 2012 Fireworks

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 18:00:00 +0000

It may not be as grand and beautiful as other countries but these available and approved fireworks definitely lighten up our little district's dark night with bright and colorful colors accompanied by loud sounds tearing across the neighborhood while celebrating and welcoming the year of the Water Dragon!

Not owning a long mm zoom lens nor having remote for triggering the shots remotely, I have to get near to the exploding firecrackers to take good shots, I believe I can do better than this if it wasn't for me to misplace my ear buds! Arghh! Also this year's fireworks only lasted for about 30 mins, and I was hoping for at least an hour! >=(

CNY Eve Reunion Dinner

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:49:00 +0000

It may seem normal for others but for not our family. During Chinese New Year's Eve, we always had cooked and prepared food. This year, we are a wee bit different as my mom suggest that we have 'Steam Boat' instead. The intention is to create a more longer time for dining, so that we the whole family can have more time to chat, instead of having pre-cooked meal, which you guessed it, it ends fast!

The New Year's Eve dinner is very large and traditionally includes chicken and pork. Fish (魚, yú) is also included, but intentionally not finished, and the remaining fish is stored overnight. The reason for this stems from a pun, as the Chinese phrase 年年有魚/餘; (nián nián yǒu yú, or "every year there is fish/leftover") is a homophone for phrases which mean "be blessed every year" or "have profit every year". Similarly, a type of black hair-like algae, "fat choy"(髮菜, fǎ cài, literally "hair vegetable" in Cantonese), is also featured in many dishes since its name sounds similar to "prosperity"(發財, fā cái). Hakka will serve "kiu nyuk" 扣肉 and "ngiong tiu fu" 釀豆腐. The belief is that having one will lead to the other, as the phrases sound similar to one another.

Its an hour and fifteen minutes left as I'm typing now until the end of Rabbit year, and officially enter, welcome and embrace the Year Of The Dragon! I hereby wish all my readers who celebrates CNY, a Happy & Prosperous Chinese New Year 2012. May good fortune abound and wealth increase in your New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Popular CNY Treats

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 01:41:00 +0000

Every year without fail, my mom will make some of these poppular CNY treats, both for sale and to entertain visitors during Chinese New Year. She made alot more variety last year such as peanut & almond cookies, pineapple tarts and lots more, but due to the lack of time this year, she only made a few more popular and demanded ones!

She usually starts taking orders 2-3 weeks before CNY and due to the popularity and huge quantity of orders received, she usually ended up dragging the whole family helping her! Look at the Mini Spicy Shrimp Rolls ー I, of course did my part sitting there for hours and hours to wrap the fillings! But despite the long hours of wrapping spring rolls, it was actually fun being able to sit down on a big round table full of cousins gossiping, talking, joking and laughing through out the whole day (Weeks, to be precise) which we don't normally do!

Niángāo, Year cake or Chinese New Year's cake is a food prepared from glutinous rice and consumed in Chinese cuisine. It is available in Asian supermarkets and from health food stores. While it can be eaten all year round, traditionally it is most popular during Chinese New Year. It is considered good luck to eat nian gao during this time, because "nian gao" is a homonym for "higher year." The Chinese word 粘 (nián), meaning "sticky", is identical in sound to 年, meaning "year", and the word 糕 (gāo), meaning "cake" is identical in sound to 高, meaning "high". As such, eating nian gao has the symbolism of raising oneself higher in each coming year (年年高升 niánnián gāoshēng). Also known as rice cake. This sticky sweet snack was believed to be an offering to the Kitchen God, with the aim that his mouth will be stuck with the sticky cake, so that he can't badmouth the human's family to the God of all Gods (Yu Huang Da Di).

This is "Achar", a poppular type of mixed pickle that goes extremely well with prawn crackers!

Fa gao (simplified Chinese: 发糕; traditional Chinese: 發粿; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: huat-kué) is a Chinese cupcake-like pastry, most commonly consumed on the Chinese new year, that is made of flour (usually rice flour), leavening (traditionally yeast, but can be chemical leavening), sugar or another sweetener, steamed (instead of baked), until the top splits into a characteristic "split top" of four segments.

The name of the cake is a pun, as "fa" means both "prosperity" and "raised (leavened)", so "fa gao" means both "prosperity cake" and "raised (leavened) cake", the "fa" having both meanings. These cakes, when used to encourage prosperity in the new year, are often dyed bright colors.

Hello Kitty Dental Clinic in Japan

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:15:00 +0000

Have toothache and is a Hello Kitty lover? You are in for a treat! A Hello Kitty-themed dental clinic opened in Tokyo's Koto ward on Friday. The Hearts Dental Clinic features Hello Kitty imagery in every aspect, from the reception desk to the waiting room and the examination rooms.

The outside of the clinic is decorated in pink with an illustration of Hello Kitty wearing a nurse's hat. The dental office has three different rooms for patients: Kitty Pearl (used to discuss symptoms and treatment plans), Kitty Ruby (used for the actual dental treatments), and Kitty Diamond (used for implants and special treatments).

The representative said he originally opened a clinic last November, but then remodeled it with the Hello Kitty theme to wipe away a generally negative image of "scary" and bad dental clinics.

You can head over to their official website for more info!

Y2K CHMS Teacher's Day 子曰 Singing Performance!

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 08:22:00 +0000

This happened 12 years ago. I remember Teacher's Day was near and we were told to participate in performance, any performance will do. Someone suggested singing. Well group singing is boring.....unless the song is interesting! I then suggested we do Bu Xue Liang's (a.k.a Ah Liang) - Zi Yue (子曰). That song was a well known 700 lyrics rapping song. Being the worst class in Chinese language in the entire school, everyone doubt that we could do it.

We practiced hard! Real hard! I remember bringing all my hi-fi & audio equipments to our classroom after class just to practice for that song. It wasn't as hard as we thought it would be, and a lot later joined us after seeing we had an awesome practice!

During the performance, I can still remember very very very clearly i overheard some of the teachers saying "Are you sure they can do this song? Even I'm blur when looking at the 700 words lyrics..and they are going to rap. This is going to be interesting!" I felt so happy and at the same time very nervous as this is going to be my very 1st on stage singing performance!

On stage, when the curtain draws open, I could see all the teachers smiling face, some laughing, and some starring at the lyrcics with their jaws wide open! By that time my heart felt like its was already popping out and I'm gonna die of nervousness! The song then started and right after we sang the 1st phrase, I could see some surprised yet happy reaction on the teacher's face.

The song goes on and just before the ending, a friend and I jumped off stage (while the others are still singing) and walked towards our Class Teacher (Ms.Joan Hiew) and handed her red roses (The smile and happiness on that face can never be forgotten!) and then we proceed back to the stage and finished off the song.

The crowd cheer, applause and whistle makes everything so worth while and especially seeing all the smile on every teacher's face! That's the time when i know that we've nailed it and the performance was a success! Once again thank you all who participated! It was one hell of a memory!

Let me see if i can get this right, From L-R : Wani, Michelle, Yvonne, Melinah, Jane, Me, Arvin, King, Marcus, Wilson, Elly behind Wilson, Fook Khang, Sui Hong, Kim's Sister, Nena & Am Pui @ Nena's Back! Omg where's the rest that was mentioned in the Thank You Card??

Look at me, rising my hand....Like a BOSS!

This is a Thank You Card from our Class Teacher Ms.Joan Hiew

My Stamps & 1st Day Cover Collections

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 07:27:00 +0000

Collecting stamps used to be my early childhood hobby. My family is quite supportive and even my neighbor and house mates knew I was into stamp collecting. They would always keep all the stamps and envelopes and pass it to me whenever they saw me; not to mention buying stamps & 1st day cover for me as souvenir whenever they went overseas.

I usually traded stamps with friends at school, and sometimes with teachers! I don't really recall when did i stopped this hobby...probably somewhere around Y2K when Counter-Strike 1st came out. I think that is when I turned into a geek. Even so, my family and friends still gets me stamps and 1st Day Covers until a certain year when it totally stopped.

My collection is actually nothing that valuable la, most valuable is probably just the memories of my early teen school days and life. Or am I a person who don't know stamp value? If you can spot any stamps from the photos below that worth thousands or millions, let me know. I will sell it and share u 20% =D lol

"Do you guys collect stamps? Since when and is it still going on? Let me know by leaving a comment below! Thanks! =D"

Chinese New Year Cleaning! - PART TWO

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 10:23:00 +0000

So the room has finally been painted and everything is put back in place.....but NOT in order. Took another day to sort out all my books, toys, cds and stuffs. I also took this chance to modify my old book shelve and turn it into my manga rack for easier reach and display.

↑ This used to be my old book shelve. You see its deep enough to compensate 1 magazine length. Not that its not good, but if you were to use it for storing Manga, which is like half the size of a standard magazine, It will be a pain in the ass (well not really la...) to take the books u want (from the back) out, and put them back in again.

↑ What I've done is actually cut the shelves in halves (So basically I will have 2 shelves in the end with each shelves that fits my Manga nicely) and nail in a piece of plywood that I cut and painted white to the other halves back.

↑ Here's the result! My DIY Manga Book Shelves!

↑ Sorting out all my disc, books, magazines etc... gave away tonnes of old mags and books to my cousins.

↑ Old Master Q! Never gets bored with it! =D

So here's my mini library. From a bulky and non convenient shelve, to a beautiful Manga rack! =D

Magazine's Corner....

↑ All the MISC books goes in here.. I think I'll blog about my Stamps and 1st Day Cover collection sometime.

↑ Know whats the story behind this Domokun Cupboard? Actually the original color was in dark brown. I wanted to coat a new layer of timberlac paint over it to make it more glossy but unfortunately my dad gave me the wrong can of paint, and without noticing I went straight in and painted the 1st brush only then to realize he gave me the wrong paint and the new Milky brown color looks awful! I was quite disappointed and sad that moment but at the same time, i remember a phrase a comrade once advised me about, "If its done wrongly, try to recover and save it! "If its too late to save, don't give up yet, at least try your very best to reduce the damage / suffer to the very least!" After that I thought to myself that the only way to cover this up is to make it into something cute and widely recognizable! I'm not good in art so I'll have to find something simple to draw yet cute and eventually, Domokun pops into my mind and here's the outcome! Pretty nice if I'd have to say it myself! From an old, dull and boring cupboard to a cute one! =D

Chinese New Year Cleaning!

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:13:00 +0000

Usually 1-2 weeks, or some even 1 month earlier before the Chinese New Year, its a tradition to clean our house inside out. Following the old saying, it is to clean and remove all the bad luck from the house so that new 'qi' and luck will flow in.

My family usually clean ours 2 weeks before CNY, but for god knows what reason, we've done that a month ahead for this year, leaving me enough time to actually clean my own room. Well, its not dirty, its just not as tidy and I could definitely use a fresh coat of paint!

Its kinda hard for me to actually do a deep cleaning because 1) I have too many stuffs! 2) I have a big room! 3) It will take forever, because If i clean, I'll dust almost everything until its spotless! (I have tonnes of anime figures in my room, so go figure the time it will take me to dust em' all!) But still, a must is a must! Took me 2 days to finish painting and re-organize my room. Sleeping with the fresh smell of paint just turns me so high!

Such beautiful white!

Manga & Comics Loot

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:21:00 +0000

Was informed by a comrade the other day that a local comic rental store is closing down and they are offering dirt cheap sales on all their available comics, manga, novels and even the book rack itself! Without able to endure any of that temptation, I went up to BSB last Sunday just to take my loot. Thinking that I was able to get the full set of Dragon Ball & DBZ, but to my disappointment it was already gone when i reached there. Even so, i still got a pretty good loot of aprox 180 books for just a mere $70.00! Once in a life time! I swore i could've gotten at least triple the amount if it wasn't for the heavy CNY shopping I've done before buying the books!

Back From Hiatus!

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 10:59:00 +0000

Hey peeps! Sorry for the lack of updates! Actually I was coming to a point where I almost wanted to quit blogging. Instead of writing tonnes of stuffs, i find it updating my daily status via twitter & FB is so much more convenient.

Just last night when I was doing a final browse through my blog before closing it down, i find that reading back all the old post is so meaningful and also easier to keep track of things and all the stuffs and feeling which i don't really know how to describe...If you're a blogger i think you should get what i mean lah. So instead of bringing down the blog, i decided to keep going and hopefully i will get the passion of blogging back so i can update it frequently! Meanwhile, I'll just brief through my absence with photos and let them do the talking! =D

Was up rather early today and decided drag my lil bro along to have a brief walk at the beach and to catch the sun rise. On my way to the beach, saw a storm trooper and darth vader fighting their arse off with light sabers and arguing like mad. What a way to start the day huh?

My 1st Wedding Photoshoot Experience!

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 05:27:00 +0000

First of all, Congratulations to the newly wedded couple, Steven & Jes! Two souls with but a single thought, Two heart that beat as one. I wish the both of you 白头到老, White head till old!

This is my very first wedding photography for a close friend during his big day! Very great experience for me as I have to shoot in many different surroundings with different lightning and ambiance.
I've studied and referenced a lot of other wedding photographers work before the shooting day which kinda provide me a slight idea on how to shoot. But alas, due to lack of experience in communicating with the crowd and being a photog with great sense of humor, I've missed a lot of shots which I originally had in mind making most of my photos look kinda dull and flat with no spirit in it.

Like is said, this is my first photography project that involves in shooting live and around a lot of new faces so please do not expect any professional photos. Its only for the sake of helping out a good friend. I've had a really great experience and definitely so much more to learn!

2nd Week Of My Holidays...

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:36:00 +0000

Those of you who follows me via my Facebook & Twitter, probably knows that I've already resigned from my current job as Computer Systems Engineer from my previous company, Netcom Computer House. I'm allowing myself to slack for approx 2 months or so to get myself re-organized and catch up with things that I've left behind. So I'll probably be out in the filed only after October....or maybe November...who knows?

This will be the 2nd week since i left the company and I felt awesome! Its been a long time since i have stress free holidays. Nothing to worry about but just sleep, play and eat! Most interesting part is, I don't even have to answer any calls from anyone and not scared of being complained the next day! I'm so relaxed that the time doesn't even matter to me. I can play all night long and sleep in the morning or vice versa. I can eat breakfast during midnight and dinner during mid morning or maybe KFC @ 7.30am in the morning! PS: Another short word for these acts = Lifeless! LOL!

The only thing that kinda bother me is .... "something" syndrome. It's like my hand feels really itchy and it will only get satisfy when i do something that is my previous work related. Such as tearing PC apart and raping them inside out. For the 1st week, with all the accumulate spare parts, I was able to assemble 3 working laptops, 1 each for my parents and another 1 for my lil cousin. Not any great spces, but awesome enough to run Windows XP smoothly! I even actually help cleaned my bro's laptop fan which he complained ages ago! (Hand itchy, what to do?)

2nd week, which is last week, was better as there was new online game launch (Dragon Nest SEA) and I kinna spend most of my time in game with my bro & other guild members. I'll probably be slacking off for another week before I begin to resume my activity. Most difficult ones are probably replacing my room walls. Its plywood though. Not concrete! =(, and others such as building video shooting equipments (crane, dolly, stabilizer etc...) and some other other stuffs =)

After seeing so many Korean dance covers on YouTube, i have these very very strong urge to shoot a dance cover myself also. NO, Its not me whose gonna dance, I'm just doing the shoot! I wanted to start with 2NE1's new single "I'm The Best". I have everything prepared, the shoot location, the practice studio, the dance instructor. What I'm lack of now is just 4 female dancers (with fit and presentable look) to join in these project. I have 2 recommendations from friends, the girls seems interested at 1st but considered not, after they've continuously ignored my FB msg for 2 times. Too bad! But my plan to shoot is still on though, If any of you locals think you're qualified to join and is interested, just FaceBook me =)

Apple iPad 2 (32GB WiFi Black)

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 04:23:00 +0000

I've always wanted to get an iPad since its 1st generation release, but I'm not really very sure or remember what is holding me back from doing that. Earlier this year, before I could lay my hand on the iPad, news of iPad 2 releasing soon, put my purchase on hold. iPad 2 finally released and I did not get it immediately hoping for a price drop in future. Since my aunt is coming back from S'pore, I asked her to get one for me there, since its like a $100 cheaper than Brunei after deducting GST.

I have an iPod Touch 4G and everything is cool, but not when you're trying to read PDFs and that is also the very main reason why i wanted to get an iPad. Its tremendous huge display and crisp text makes reading so much easier and comfortable. I always carry my lessons and course around with me in my iTouch and reading them is such a pain, but i think this new gadget of mine is just gonna turn things around and makes life easier! =)

NihongoUp!

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 13:58:00 +0000

Kudos to the peeps over at NihongoUp.com for sending me these beautiful stack of Kana postcards for free! Nice people aren't they? NihongoUp is an online Japanese textbook and learning community for students and self-learners. The goal of this web site is to guide you on your way to mastering the Japanese language, and to teach you how to learn efficiently while having fun at the same time.

I was introduced to NihongoUp from another Japanese language student from an online forum. Back then NihongoUp was just a desktop game application that helps you to memorize Kana & Kanji more faster. It is fun, addicting, challenging and the best thing is, It really WORKS! After playing the game, i found myself reading Kana more and more smoother (No more chewing screws & nuts while reading) and able to read Japanese kid's fairytale with ease! Japanese students who doesn't know about it, shoud check out the app! NihongoUp! and like them on their FaceBook and follow them on Twitter! Meanwhile, look at what The Japan Times has to say for them?

BRIDEX 2011

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 06:32:00 +0000

Went to Bridex 2011 yesterday and had much fun exploring and understanding the weapons & defenses used in the military now. The air show was awesome, especially when then Singapore's F-16 Screaming jet tore through the airspace. Sounds like this and also an accelerating commercial airline's engine sound always turns me on! The Counter-Terrorist hostage rescue show was definitely a hit, only except i didn't expect to get covered in sand from head to toe.

The Brunei International Defence Exhibition (BRIDEX) is the premier defence & security event in South East Asia. It brings together the world's leading manufacturers and suppliers of defence & security equipment and systems from across the entire supply chain, and high level international government and defence & security officials, providing them with a unique experience in business facilitation. BRIDEX serves as an exclusive marketplace to showcase the latest, innovative and value-enhancing technology solutions in land, sea, air and security systems to address the wide spectrum of security challenges being faced by countries in the region and around the world. BRIDEX also provides an excellent platform for building vital alliances, forging partnerships and capturing new business opportunities in a fast growing South East Asian region, as well as for networking, sharing ideas and knowledge, discussing technology advancements and industry developments.

(SNSD Ver.) VITA500 Energy Drink

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 06:10:00 +0000

Received my SNSD Vita500 Energy Drink all the way from S.Korea this very morning! The EMS packaging was kinda damaged, but luckily the bottles are well wrapped and unharmed! What is Vita500? It's a vitamin energy drink that Girls' Generation endorses. Its basically a sugary vitamin concoction that can give you that boost in the middle of the day. This SNSD Special Edition set is in conjunction with Vita500's 10th Anniversary! Great collection item for S♡NE! More info on their official site here! Attached below is the bottle sets i received this morning with some CF videos.

Girls' Generation (소녀시대)

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 12:13:00 +0000

I'm getting less and less active in posting huh? Seriously I've been pretty busy with work lately, especially in dealing with my company's nonsense! Forget all that! Let's talk about me. I'm sure everyone knows who is Girls' Generation, right? In case you don't, they are the most popular girl's group in Korean entertainment industry. I've been listening to SNSD/Girls' Generation/Soshi's songs since the beginning of their 1st album release. Thing is, I'm not addicted to them! Its just like listening to any other K-POP out there and just live life!

Everything went normal until last month when i discovered that they are endorsers of Intel and is promoting Intel's 2nd Generation processors with new songs 'Visual Dreams'. As an I.T Engineer, of course this strikes my curiosity. So i downloaded 'Visual Dreams' music videos and mp3 and the songs ended up repeating and repeating on my playlist & my HEAD for 2 days. I found out that for the rest of the week, I've been digging out all their MVs that I've collected before and started playing it on my secondary monitor for the rest of the week! (Even until now...It never stops!) I started to join fan forums (Soshified) and interact with other fans, My download list is over 60GB of SNSD's goodies (Their TV Shows, Full HD Music Videos, Pictures etc...)

Just last week, i realized that I'm already deeply addicted to them! Seriously I've been trying to get myself out of this but ALAS, the power of 9 wins over me! I'm now officially a S♥NE! (SONE, read as So-Won, which means 'Wish' in Korean, is a word taken out from their song and named it after SNSD's fans!) Like SooYoung (One of SNSD's Members) said: Once you're into Soshi, There is no way out!

These craze over SNSD even made now stopped my current Japanese language studies and started my beginner's course on Korean language! Well, of course I'm not neglecting my Japanese studies, Its just that since I'm so passionate in K-POP and is addicted to the 9 lovely ladies, I might as well use this opportunity as a motivation to start learning Korean. Spent alot on ebay for their previous albums, posters, and collectable goodies! The 1st shipment will probably arrive by next week! I think thats about it, I'll leave you guys with some MVs of SNSD below~ Enjoy!

Pray & Donate To Help Japan!

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 11:11:00 +0000

With Japan in facing such a horrible attack from mother nature, It is heartbreaking and sad to see all the affected victims of the 8.9 magnitude earthquake followed by a devastating10 meter high tsunami sweep. Not being able to be around to help, all we could do is to pray and donate to help out the victims.

For Bruneian / Malaysian, I doubt that donating through American Red Cross would work, as I've got a few comrades and friends already complaining about the donation not getting through because our credit card is declined. I tried a few times this morning, and even called the local credit card center to check why is the card declined, but as per the support team, there were no transactions from Red Cross coming in. Not sure why, but I've decided not to wait for the e-mail I've fired to red cross support, and rather find alternate ways to donate.

I've come across Google Crisis Response, where you can donate with ease! The funds will be directly send to Japanese Red Cross Society! I myself had donated 2000 yen this morning. It isn't much, but this is all i could spare now, and i believe it will definitely help out! So dear readers, please donate if you can! Lets contribute to help the land of the rising sun! 日本がんばってくれ！！！

Netcom Annual Dinner 2011

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 06:07:00 +0000

Attended my company's annual dinner last weekend. This year's venue is iLotus restaurant, which located in the country's capital city. I'd say i actually had fun and enjoyed the session compared to previous years dinner. Why is that? Most probably because i now owned a DSLR and was keeping myself busy the whole night taking photographs and exchanging ideas with other DSLR owners, and also participated in playing games made by the organizers, rather that just sit there with my team and watch the others enjoy (That is what i did in the previous years).

The food is as good as expected from iLotus, but even with the good food, i did not eat alot. It was the water that i drink that actually fills me up! Gotta stay hydrated! If not, I can't hold my camera properly...LOL! Anyways the dinner started off with our Managing Director, Mr.Vincent, giving out speech, followed by performances from each different branches, dinner, lucky draw, games, awards presentation, etc....

Time sure flies! Its already been 5 years since i joined Netcom family. Received my 5 years service award certificate and a GUESS (gents) watch as compliments from the company. I feel kinda strange & awkward when receiving the certs, especially when it is designed by me!

I'm not really very lucky when it comes to lucky draws, not only here but everywhere else too! I was like hoping I'd get at least something better this year, like the razer keyboard or the color printer & laptop, or maybe a good speaker will do, but ALAS, i got a dinner buffet voucher for ONE only =( I'm not gonna eat alone so i gave it to my lil bro.

All and all, no complaints as i really did enjoy myself as much as the rest did! I'd say this year's dinner is a great one! Thanks to all the peeps who makes this event a successful one!

Death Note: Complete Manga Box Set

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 01:12:00 +0000

>

I remember saying that how much i hate reading manga online. Not only it destroys the actual fun and mood reading from a book, i cannot endure low quality scans and the fuss of always need to enlarge the scans before reading. Overall, i have a very bad experience reading mangas / comics online. That is why i would rather buy the actual book to read....and a licensed one of course =) Its expensive, but hey, the genuine superb quality printed artworks and a proper translation for good experience reading? Yes.Its worth it! I'm not a rich guy but i do have demands on the stuffs i purchase.

Lets get to the point. Received my Death Note manga box set today and is quite happy about it. Published on somewhere in Sept 2008 by VIZ, It comes with a solid suitcase box with very nice artwork printed on it. Contains 12 mangas volume, 1 Death Note Encyclopedia (13th Vol, entitled: How To Read), A small rule book containing all the death note rules, and a golden "L" card that reveals L's true name! Nice and solid card which I'm gonna take it for lamination tomorrow and use it as a bookmark! Overall rating for the product would be a 5/5!

Onigiri (おにぎり)

noreply@blogger.com (HevnBoyz) — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 00:48:00 +0000

Been telling myself to make onigiri since last month, but I never really got to do it until today. Went to the local family mart to stock up on the ingredients. There are 3 fillings here, Beef, Tuna Mayo and Tanuki. This is my 1st attempt in making it and I'd say its really tasted really good. I'll just brief on the fillings for the Onigiri i made. For actual ingredient list, Pls watch the following recomended vidoes by runnyrunny99 and cookingwithdog.

For the rice, I use Japanese sushi graded rice, the reason for using this is because it sticks! Cook 3 cups rice with 3 1/4 water. No need to add vinegar to rice as it is not meant to be for sushi.

For beef fillings, cut the beef into bite sizes, add in grated garlic & sugar . Mix everything equally, leave it to rest for about 1/2 hr and then stir fry it in a pan with some oil.

Tuna Mayo fillings - Easy~! Canned Tuna flakes in water and Mayonnaise. Remove water from the canned tuna, add mayonnaise to it and stir!

Tanuki fillings - You will need to mix Agedama, Spring Onions and Mentsuyu together. For Agedama, you can refer to runnyrunny99 video for instructions on how to make. If you can't find any mentsuyu, soy sauce is a good replacement. Have the 3 ingredient poured into your rice and mix well!

Wet your hand with salted water, grab a palm full rice, make a dent in the middle, put in your fillings and cover it up with another small amount of rice. You can shape it using ur hand into a triangle shape, or if you have one of those onigiri maker, you can just throw it in and you'll get the perfect shape!

After you have your triangular rice ball, take a piece of roasted nori (Seaweed) and wrap it up! Actually its quite easy to make. and also you just actually put in any fillings your heart desires...I think imma put in cream cheese on my next attempt! lol, for accurate list of ingredient and its amount used, please refer the 2 videos i recommended above.

Try it! Its simple, fun, filling and delicious! いただきます！
(Itadakimasu!)

Onigiri (お握り or 御握り; おにぎり), also known as omusubi (お結び; おむすび?) or rice ball, is a Japanese food made from white rice formed into triangular or oval shapes and often wrapped in nori (seaweed). Traditionally, an onigiri is filled with pickled ume (umeboshi), salted salmon, katsuobushi, kombu, tarako, or any other salty or sour ingredient as a natural preservative. Because of the popularity of onigiri in Japan, most convenience stores there stock onigiri with various fillings and flavors. There are even specialized shops whose only products are onigiri for take out.
