step aside chef wan, there's a new chef in town...

it's rare that men can cook better than the women and it's only few who stood well like the famous chef wan. however when we look at the hotel and restaurant there were the man who conquered the kitchen area. so men do succeed in cooking. this a man who i found out his talent and specialty lies in the heart of kitchen. i'm talking about my father, Mr. Ismail Bin Majid who amazed me and also the rest of my family with his ability in cooking.

My dad was busy making the right combination and ingredients to be put in.. this was made during the eve of Hari Raya Qurban and i also lending help for my father..

My dad made some of his own initiative where he put toppings on top of the muffins and as you can see there are syrup toppings and butter toppings that are tasty and finger licking good..

This is some of the muffins that made and my father put raisins and almond flake..

My dad or i can call him Chef Ismail, who was satisfied with all his made muffins and the muffins were delicious and even many praised my father and surprised too.. my aunt also ask the muffins recipe from my father.. enough said, i'm proud of you Mr. Chef in the house..

a fascinating investigation...

at first me and my friends decided to watch avatar at pavillion.. and when we arrived, there a lot people queued up to buy the tickets and most of them buying for the night ones.

then we decided to window shopping and went to the nike and adidas stores and also searched for the delicious heaven made bread of roti boy.. but unfortunate the much gigantic and wonderful building does not have shop for the famous roti boy..

after finished there we went to the galaxie ampang and opted to watch the new movie called sherlock holmes starring robert downey junior (iron man) and jude law (A.I). based on the famous novel and the cast itself you can predict that this movie will be a hit one.. and it duly delivered in a fashionable style.. the director integrated recipes that moviegoers were looking for that are action, comedy, mystery, investigation and a bit of romance that binds well to be an excellent story indeed..

it started with sherlock holmes and his sidekick known as doctor watson who failed the ritual sacrifice of the evil, mysterious and magician lord blackwood.. after been captured and sentenced to death, he only said "death is only just a beginning".. after been declared dead by dr. watson, the chaotic erupted in the city of london where lord blackwood had rise back from the death...

and from that on sherlock holmes combined with watson to investigate the mystery of the death lord blackwood who tends to plot a threat to all england... then the adventure begins.. the story was a very good one from start to finish and this film really caught my eyes as i am not remember the last time that an investigation movie that fascinated me like this one..

a very strong recommendation for this and i will be expecting sherlock holmes to be in action again... 9 and a half out of ten for this movie...

in vientiane we conquered...

1989, kuala lumpur.. merdeka stadium.. where the last one that m'sia football team achieved the SEA games gold medal.. even our prime minister, didn't remember for how long we last triumph when he said it has been 30 years, when the actually fact number was 20 years.. see, how long m'sia football team last glory was beg?

since the semi pro status been lifted up to professional, only the name stands where the situation and standard were still in limbo.. what's wrong with the national team? there are many reasons that can be seen here, but sadly the same people still rules even though for a very long period but brings no glory for m'sia football.. politics involved to make the matter worsen..

however the story changed in Vientiane, where the young m'sia team got their first ever gold medal by beating vietnam 1-0.. there was hope this time when this team competed in the SEA games where there were many preparations built up like the memorable match between English premier league champions man united not once but twice in the space of three days.. then other games were held in and outside the country in order to prepared them rich in experience..

a lost to Vietnam in the group stage means m'sia path to the semi final as their main target was quickly dashed away when they have to beat the defending champions and mighty Thailand in the last group game.. but the young tigers defy against all odds when they beaten the thais 2-1 even though at one stage they were trailed by a goal down.. but the players fought hard and got the two goals inside the last ten minutes..

then the hopes were all over again and this time the target was achieved when they met Laos.. they eased past the home team 3-1.. the final showdown began against Vietnam again.. the boys beat them courtesy of their own goal but what counted it was m'sia was the champions and end the gold medal drought for 20 years.. there were many chances but the players lacked the killer instinct and the calmness.. sometimes they make silly and funny mistakes that should not be done by a national player.. but all that can be improved in the near future and hope this will bring a new dawn of era for the m'sia football.. congrats players.. in Vientiane at last we conquered and raised our national flag in style..

don't turn off the lights...

this lovely Thursday evening i filled up my activity with went to swimming pool, after that get hot in the sauna room and lastly entertained myself with the latest movie that hit into the cinema called 'Ninja Assassin'...

it was created by the producer of 'The Matrix' and you can expected some classy and slow motion effects and that's what you got when watch this film.. starring rain as the main actor, this movie started when rain was adopted at the ninja training place somewhere was well hidden.. after learned the art of ninja, rain discovered that the ninja approach were not suited and acceptable to taken no more.. so he decided to went against his mentor and many of his brothers..

with the help of mika, raizo aka rain, tried to discover and fought against all the assassins and rain also been hunted down by the ninja assassins.. with beautiful special effects and a well crafted fighting sequence, this movie can make you feel upside down.. it have a little bit like '300' where the blood of the fight spilled everywhere but the color of blood doesn't seem real to me unfortunately..

this movie entertained and was a cool one and it was a satisfaction guaranteed. i gave 8 out of 10 for Ninja Assassin.. don't turn off the lights because the ninja like dark places and maybe they are behind you right now.. if you still don't understand by what i meant, then you have to watch this movie..

is this the end for human kind?

the date is 12 December 2012 where according to reports and believes this date is the time where apocalypse struck the world.. it is told that the earth itself have a time frame before it is self destruct and only lasted for 5,125 years.. i seriously don't believe at all of this assumptions and just watched the movie for fun..

at first i thought that this movie is about Apocalypse where all of human kind will be perish, but i was tricked by the trailer where i saw like a tons of comet hit to the ground from the sky but actually it was an explosion from the volcano that spills the rock that looks like a comet or a meteor..

all of this happened because of the mantel of the earth which based on the lowest ground of the earth stomach (if you learn science you will actually know what i meant by this) starts not to stable which leads to the hot water at the lake, the earthquake, the tsunami and many more.

the movie was a good one where the visual and special effects draw the main attention.. you can see the chaos, how earth and mother nature eat all the buildings, the destructions, all leads to catastrophic. the storyline was also okay.. as so you know that when they making movies like this they tend to put themselves as the one who can run and save themselves.. they have all the technologies, super computer, its all about american.. i seriously doubt that the presiden of united states will stay at the white house at that time of terror.. american is so damn funny about this thing..

when the real apocalypse come, the real end of days of all human kind, the american or whoever will not gonna escape from it..

it's time to hold hands together....

yesterday i was involved for the 'RIMUP' program.. or known as 'Rancangan Integrasi Murid Untuk Perpaduan'.. there are four schools that been involved that is my school, SK Taman Nirwana, SK Ampang, SJK Tamil and SJK Cina.. the objective of the program is to unite all the races together by bringing them to Zoo negara and Aquaria KLCC..

this indeed was a good program because students can learn and know how to mingle with other races and make friends..

this program have to be running in order to exposed the students how important to respect other races and to help each other without looking at their races, skin colors and religion.. its a 1 Malaysia concept and we have to be proud that our country were blessed with unity and prosperity unlike other countries.. so it is time to hold hands together and be one.....

arrived at zoo negara 9.30 am.. the students were separated in eight groups and combined chinese, indian and malay.. they were given chocolate bread and water for their breakfast before entering zoo negara..

taking picture in front of the lions' stature inside zoo negara..

after a long walk, its time to have a a big plate in your mouth and what could even be better that your lunch was KFC.. before the packages arrived, i asked my group to asked about their new friends and know each of them better.. we ate together happily and silence because many of them were hungry.. hehehe..

it was fun watching the students walk along the 90 meter tunnel feeling amazed when they saw hundreds of fish swimming around and some caught their eyes like sharks..

this are some of my students that i had to watch and take care..

anyone for a dessert?

when age is a factor.....

last Saturday, i came to rawang when my ex students invited me to play with his team.. pemuda umno selayang want to create a football academy for the youngsters based in rawang and this is a golden opportunity for the young ones to have a go in their football path.. they are looking for players under 21.. so my students even have to hide my identity when they called me 'abang' on and off the pitch..

there were 6 teams came and there were several scout that are looking for players.. my team played tow games one lost and one win.. there was one scout who came to me and asked about my age and when he knew about it he smiled and said "too bad that you are above 21".. i just smiled back at him.. if i'm 21 and below probably i'm in the academy squad but age proved to be a stumbling block for me.. well age is a factor for me, hehe.. nevertheless, it was fun being there..

when you are a selangor fan and have watched them play, when the opportunity came along so you have to take picture as a remembrance even though i didn't recognized asmawi bakiri when he first came to the field because he changed a lot particularly with the weight and age itself..

the event concluded with the appearance of Asmawi Bakiri the ex Selangor player who plays in the mid 90's era came as an advisor and coaching staff for the academy pemuda umno selayang.. he gave a bit of encouragement and motivation to all the players.. he also acknowledged 2 teams that he saw outstanding in the game, one it is my students team and the other one is from batu 16..
