My 2012 resolution… and I have one!
You know all these people who came out with new year’s resolutions every start of the year then discard them after 3 or so months? Yeah same reason why gym memberships sell like hot cakes in January and February then slow down thereafter until near summer (want hot bod for beach mah).
I never really make new year’s resolutions because knowing myself very well, I know I’d have a jolly hard time keeping them. Or even remembering what they are so I’d remember to keep them.
Then something happened. Three minutes ago, to be precise.
And now ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that…
I HAVE A NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION FOR 2012!!!!
FINALLY! After all these years of wasting earth’s oxygen even! DON’T YOU FEEL HAPPY FOR ME??? 
The NYR is so friggin’ fantastic that by hook or by crook, I intend to see it through.
And my 2012 new year resolution is…
TO STAY ALIVE LONG ENOUGH TO WATCH THE HOBBIT IN DECEMBER 2012!!!
Boy would I be pissed if the world ended before the movie came out.
Here’s the trailer in HD for The Hobbit. It’s Peter Jackson so they’re going to milk it as much as they can, which means 2012 will be Part 1. Part 2 will be shown in 2013, if there’s a world left.
Let’s see how Part 1 goes before making any more resolutions for 2013 
Merry Guinness @ Garibar, Bangsar Village
If I had my way, I’d be Merry Guinnessing all year long.
But as it is, the Merry Guinness events where selected outlets feature Guinness-infused food + Guinness at a special price happens only at the end of the year (so far).
Pity ‘cos I like Guinness-infused food. I could eat Guinness-infused food all day and year long.
Before I get heatstroke or something like that, that is.
So mengikut petua orang kampung Cina (i.e. Terence, FA, KY), should drink Tiger la liddat. It’s like a Yin + Yang = total awesomeness thing.
This year I only managed to catch one of the few Merry Guinness parties at Garibar due to life circumstances. Had a fantastic time, especially catching up with bright-eyed Hui Ping of G2.
Hui Ping, me, Joyce and D
By the way, you like my permed + coloured + highlighted hair or not? You don’t like also no use ‘cos I’m liking it very much.
At Garibar, we had a four course meal downed with a couple perfect pints of Guinness. Three dishes are recipes from Masterchef Adam Liaw whereas one is by Garibar’s executive chef. RM100++ for the lot, feel free to pick and choose your mains.
We had:
Open Guinness Lamb Shank and Mushroom Pie with Champ Fine
Ravioli stuffed with Guinness-infused veal
Guinness butter roasted chicken
Guinness and fruit Christmas pudding
All fantastic. I was thoroughly stuffed. Fill me up with Guinness and I could be dinner.
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
Allo! I’ll be out and about, busy and such. Will have a giveaway next week but other than that will be pretty quiet.
I wish you lot a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
May you get what you want and what you think you deserve

Food notes: aglio olio + fried bihun + Siu Siu
Aglio olio with butter and oyster sauce
If you’re like me: unmarried + not living with a significant other + not living with parents + can buy own meals, thinking of what and where to eat can be a major #firstworldproblem.
That was how the aglio olio with butter and oyster sauce idea came about. I really have no other explanations.
It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t too good. The smell was fragrant and thinly sliced sauteed garlic is always a winner in my books. As you can see, it’s a bit too wet. Reason: I didn’t want to thicken the sauce with water leftover from boiling pasta (’cos I added a lot of salt in it). Instead of normal flour, I used corn flour. I’ve no idea why. But you bet I won’t be replicating this.
There, I did it so you don’t have to. You’re welcome.
NoobCook’s Fried Bihun with Stewed Pork
I love fried bihun. I tried frying bihun. It sucked. I tried again. It rocked. Kinda. I went a bit crazy with the amount of water to put in. It turned out a bit wet, but still good to eat. Not bad for a second attempt using a new recipe, eh? I thought so too.

Siu Siu Restaurant @ Robson Heights
I forgot why but we had a family dinner the other day. Oh that’s right, cos we are family nananana I got all my sisters with me nanananana /end lame
One of the dishes we had was the curry prawns and fried buns. Could have been friggin’ A if the prawns weren’t overcooked. The curry was fantastic though and went down very well with the fried buns. We ordered and devoured a second plate of buns #fatasses
We also had fish. This fish. It was supposed to be patin but it had whiskers like catfish. By the way, did you know that patin in English is “iridescent shark”? It’s true, I found it on Wikipedia.
It also cost RM 108. What the fuck.
How are we supposed to learn by example…
… if the people who are supposed to represent righteousness and the law don’t do it right?
In case you can’t see properly, it’s a PDRM vehicle.
So, who went to driving school and can tell me what was done wrong?
