Eating great western food makes me feel glad to have a job.
Eating great asian food makes me feel glad to be alive 
The Short Story
I was chatting with a friend two days ago.
When I told her I received a full-time job offer here in USA, one of the things she said besides “congratulations” was:
“..so there really isn’t anything left here for you.” (referring to Malaysia)
5 sec. stun.
Dude.
Sakit dowh.
Firstly, it’s difficult to do justice to this issue because there is no right or wrong answer. In the end, it’s all a matter of opinion. Or is it?
I suppose I can understand the evils of choosing to spend the more productive years of one’s life in a foreign land. I am in effect, choosing to earn US Dollars over the company of my family, friends, and Malaysian food.
I understand that leaving those three things behind is inconceivable. I always wanted to go overseas, but I never planned, nor wanted to leave my homeland for good.
But I’m not.
US Dollars are a means to an end.
Hadn’t it occurred to anyone that having a bunch of US Dollars could make things better for my family, friends, and enable me to get more Malaysian food?
For myself, the main difference between US and Malaysia can be summarized as such:
- USA has equal rights for its citizens, and unequal starting pay for grads.
- Malaysia has equal starting pay for grads, and unequal rights for its citizens.
So it can be seen that both countries are fair and unfair, just in different ways 
I used to say that back home, it doesn’t matter what you know, it’s who you know, as opposed to here in the US. How naive of me. Of course it matters who you know, wherever you are. These politics happen everywhere, without exception. I will no longer discriminate between the two countries on this basis.
Call me cold, but it all boils down to the bottom-line.
No money, no talk.
Hungry for a Heart Attack?
Food porn
n.
According to Wikipedia:
Food porn is a sarcastic term variously applied to a spectacular visual presentation of cooking or eating in advertisements, infomercials, cooking shows or other visual media, foods boasting a high fat and calorie content, exotic dishes that arouse a desire to eat or the glorification of food as a substitute for sex.
(I like that last part..lol)
My impression about food porn is that it’s pictures of food so sinful that you need to view them in private. Well, in a way, at least.
Some samples from the premier food pornsite, This Is Why You’re Fat.com :
Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf With A Layer Of Mac And Cheese
Egg n’ Ham Sammich
A regular ham and cheese sandwich but topped with 11 sunny-side up egg yolks.
Deep Fried Oreos With Powdered Sugar And Multi-Colored Sprinkles
Lankford’s Gluttoneer
Half pound prime rib/sirloin/rib eye patty, american cheese, onions, maple bacon, hot link sausage, ketchup and honey mustard.
Junk Food Pizza
Large meat pizza covered with potato skins, mozzarella sticks, mini taco’s, jalapeño poppers and onion rings.
And here’s (in my opinion) the more insane (if that’s possible) entries:
12 Bird True Love Roast
Contains 12 different kinds of bird: large turkey filled with goose, chicken, pheasant, aylesbury and barbary duck, poussin and guinea fowl, partridge, pigeon squab, quail and mallard duck. Breast meat from 48 different birds + 8 types of stuffing.
(I want this! lolx.. Depending on who and how many are eating, I suppose this dish could feed people between a week and/or a semester..)
Bacon Cheese Pizza Burger
Giant burger between two large meat pizzas, eggs, bacon, colby and pepper jack cheese.

MEGA Double Stuff Oreo

Turbaconucken
A chicken inside a duck inside a turkey, all wrapped in bacon.
(… INSTANTDEATH.com.my.edu)
The Romelette
An omelette made with eggs and Ramen noodles.
(I’m gonna try this!! ahahahaha)
Ok I’m going to stop here. Can feel my arteries getting clogged just by looking at all this stuff ><

I MISS TAKOYAKI..
I WANT TAKOYAKI..
I miss Tako Tao Takoyaki back home! I’ve only been to the MidValley one, but that small stall has given me lots of joy.. watching those (mostly tudung-ed) chicks gently handling those hot balls of goodness.. sigh.
I like lots of Japanese stuff.
I will visit Tokyo one day. Hope I have time I will make time after I graduate.
