Random Eats - Restaurants

Recently, I remembered a few places where I have eaten and thought the food was good. Or they reminded me of previous times when I visited even if they were at different venues.  Sometimes, we choose places due to convenience rather than anything else. For some folks, eating is not even important. They eat to fill their tummy. They wont die without food but their hands may tremble without drinks. Others pay a little more for food and they would complain but do not bat an eyelid when they are paying for drinks. Yet there are those who are stingy when it comes to food but they would save up just to travel. Then there are some who must eat only at the most famous and expensive places because they have arrived. I walk the middle ground. Not all expensive places offer the best food. They are just expensive. I do not have to travel everywhere but I will not sting on food because they are what you put into your stomach and we need quality and not quantity. Besides, food is an art and

EPL 2014/15 - Game Week 7

By now, you could see that almost everyone is struggling, except Chelsea. Mourinho is silently smiling as at the moment nobody seems capable to wipe that smirk from his face. Chelseas continued their fine form and is pulling away. Before I move on, let me share a special goal from the Asian Games. You can't even do this in FIFA 15 Play Station or XBox. Sepak Takraw moves: (Thailand v China, Asian Games) https://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/fit-to-post-sports/thai-footballers-execute-flying-backheel-to-scissor-kick-combo-at-asian-games-082659950.html How is the coming weeks going to be. It is so important to start well or else each game seems to be piling up, the injury list also piles up and each match seems to get tougher since it is going to be that "must-win" match.   Before we proceed, let's take a look at some great goals: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=796965560346037&set=vb.266828596693072&type=2&theater Hull v Palace - The Tiger

EPL 2014/15 - Game Week 6

What an EPL weekend it was! The smaller teams are having an uprising of sorts and this season they will have a big say who could win the title. I know people who actually wagered on Southampton and now they are second against all odds! The EPL is indeed not just the most competitive league in the world but the best and most exciting! Last week Real Madrid strolled past Deprotivo La Coruna 8-2 away and Barcelona waltzed past Levante 5-0 also away. In that same week, Aston Villa had Liverpool beaten 1-0 at Anfield. Southampton followed up on their 4-0 home win over Newcastle with another win, 1-0 away to Swansea. West Ham turned the tables on Liverpool and inflicted them 3-1. Crystal Palace went to Goodison Park and had Everton duly beaten 3-2. WBA travelled to White hart Lane and won 1-0. Leicester was the best with an emphatic 5-3 home win over Manchester United! Liverpool v Everton - No Suarez, no Sturridge and Liverpool floundered and have already been defeated 3 times in 5 ma

Penang, Pearl Of The Orient - Part 3

When you are working and slogging like a dog or in sadness and sorrow, time seems eternally slow but time flies when you are happy, on holiday or free from anything cumbersome. Therefore, it is the "life" in your days that truly matter not the days in your life.  We were by now approaching our final bend. We were at Batu Ferringhi for seafood dinner. Just near the seafood restaurant, I saw this most unique bus stop. There was a tsunami scare in the afternoon. It was false alarm. So we came to the "Tsunami Village". Penang was hit by a tsunami especially Batu Ferringhi if you still remember. This spicy asparagus was awesome! The noodle texture was something I have not tasted before. It was crunchy with a firm texture fried with "tee poh" (a sun dried flat fish that give a great taste to any dry/soup or fried noodles, fish porridge or stir-fried vegetables).  The steamed fish was very fr
