Experiments went wild...

It was a boring and dreadful Wednesday night. Had nothing to do, therefore, went experimenting on the Absolut Vanilla Vodka that I bought from KLIA during my trip back from the states.

I went to the Absolut website to look for the recipes. I reckon Absolut Vanilla Vodka is the most medicine-taste vodka of all. There's this recipe called "Sweet Vanilla" which is sort of easy for me to make.




















Sweet Vanilla

Why do I say so? Because it consists of:

1 part of Absolut Vanilla Vodka

4 parts of Milk

1 part of Simple Syrup*

* Simple Syrup basically is sugar water.

*Simple as that.*




















At first I thought it might be something nice, but I was hell wrong. I tasted like some sort of cough syrup with some coconut taste. Don't ask me where the hell does the coconut smell come from.

Next in line is the Baileys Bitch. In my version, I wouldn't wanna term it as Baileys Bitch because the real recipe consists of 1/4 banana. So, I should term it as Baileys Bastard.




















Baileys Bastard

Recipe for Baileys Bastard:

1 part of Absolut Vanilla Vodka

4 parts of Baileys

*Even simple*

Result : Far worst than a cough syrup.

In conclusion, I need help on how to improve better tasting for Absolut Vanilla Vodka. Tips needed desperately. Meanwhile, I'm feeling a lil' bit dizzy wizzy. I need my bed.

The highway story.

To me, every highway in anywhere is like a "conveyor belt". With a non-stop flow of vehicles from motorcycles to big-sized logistic trucks.

*By the way, I've decided to put the route 66 logo because I think the layout was kinda cute. Don't you think so?*

But bear in mind, these "conveyor belts" have lanes with different travelling speed. Let's just talk about our Malaysian highway system. Well, actually the system has screwed up though.

Highways in Malaysia which I've seen consist of 2-Lanes and 3-Lanes. *Do let me know if you could find one with 4 and 5, I'll make sure I'll take a ride over it.*




















The LDP 2-Lanes Highway




















The PLUS 3-Lanes Highway

*Note: The 3-Lanes Highway is up to certain destination.*

In my opinion, I prefer driving the PLUS highway because drivers there are more ethical compared to the LDP highway. At least there ain't any Kiasu fellas who are driving slow hogging the fast lane.

C'mon, it's stated the fast lane. Which literally means you have to be "fast". Well, LDP during non-peak hours is considered ok but once the peak hours start, it will be congested with cars. Slow moving cars will take the advantage to go on the fast lane. *Who put that big plate of "sushi" on the conveyor belt?!*

At times, I really hate slow drivers. Real slow ones. Can't you just hit the pedal slightly harder? Slow drivers like to hog the road, blocking your path, making you late for these and that. *yucks!*

I'm not to the extend of a "speed demon" as I'm not that crazy to pedal to the metal. People who sat my car might think that I'm driving fast, but the reality, it's the pick-up that makes you go wooo... , not the speed. =)

I think I've been crapping too much. And I've got no idea on what I've written.

Bored to death...

Today was the first day of Form 6. As usual, as an ex-student of SMK Taman S.E.A. , I have to go back to that school for Form 6. But will soon transfer to SMK Sultan Abdul Samad.

Anyways, we had sort of an orientation today. Same stuff again -- singing the school song, introduction to Form 6, went into groups, played some stupid games to know one another better.

*P/s: Bing, I'm so not going to school tomorrow.

Well, at least I had a great weekend before the starting of Form 6. Oh ya, not to forget, Bing taught us some cool exercise, which is the "tumbuk angin". *Hell don't ask me how the name came across" I reckon after seeing how it was done, it really deserves the name "tumbuk angin". Damn funny moves. After the demo from Bing, we giggled non-stop. Guess that's the core exercise he had in National Service for the past 2 months.

Back to last Saturday. First time in my life to actually get my hands on one of this baby.


Toyota Celica *slurp slurp*

I finally get to drive this state-of-the-art car. By the wat, this car belongs to my cousin, how I wish I could actually own one. *I must be day-dreaming* Well, at the price of less than a Mercz C200, what do you think of it although it's a reckon car.


That's me on it. *Btw, I drove it okay, not just sit there and pose.*

Nonetheless, got scolded by my cousin. He said that my driving was like shit. True though as this IS THE FIRST TIME I GET TO DRIVE THIS "chariot"!! I didn't dare to shift the gear hard because I thought it was a "fragile" gear box. Which literally means, HANDLE WITH CARE.

My cousin has installed some digital meter in his car. Don't ask me what's that, see for yourself, I'm not a car buff.


All in one meter.

This meter reads sort of everything, from lap timing to G force.*G-force? Wat da f**k?* G force from what I see it's like weight distribution in the car or whatever. The reading of the meter is correct. I'd called my cousin to rev his car while I try to get a snapshot of it. The original idle RPM reading was 900+.

The interesting part of driving this car, shift the gear when the RPM reading nearly hits 8000. Holy! I didn't even dare to go more than 3000 last time when I was driving my car. 8000 RPM is when your engine gets so hot and the exhaust blaring at its optimum decibles. But let me tell you, the feeling on maneuvering this car is an experience!

Interior of the car:


Elegant

The exteriors of the car:

Nice spoilers!


Wanna be part of it?

Long journey..

Yup, my dream had came true. I've finally touched the State's soil. A pretty long journey I must say - 3 weeks. But it wasn't enough at all. =)

For your information, my air tickets were purchased from Air India. I know what you might be thinking now, I did too. I was like: " Oh my god, don't tell me that Indian air stewardess are gonna serve me!". Not to be racist, but I will definitely have an awkward feeling troughout the journey. But thanked god, the flights were both operated by Malaysia Airlines. *phew*

I went to many places during this trip:

KLIA -> Taipei (Transit) -> Los Angeles -> Las Vegas -> Grand Canyon -> Toronto -> Niagara Falls -> Ottawa -> Montreal -> Quebec City -> San Francisco -> Los Angeles -> Taipei (transit) KLIA.

Yup, although there weren't many places, but it was hell of an awesome trip. Before you continue, an apology to dial-up users as this entry is gonna load forever. And by the way, do grab yourself some coffee and scones or whatever things which are edible. It's gonna be a long one, trust me.

Started off with a 4.5 hours haul to Taipei for a 1.5 hours transit before heading to L.A.



Taipei, heart of Taiwan.

It was quite funny when I came across this message at the duty free shop. They stated there :" Please do not touch if you want service, please contact our sales agents ". Sure I won't touch cause I can get free services!

On second thought, I think I'm gonna update section by section, state by state. Sorry but too many photos have been taken already. Approximately 1900+ photos have been taken.

Well, after the opening of the LCC Terminal, KLIA's traffic condition is even worst. The whole airport is left with only Malaysia Airlines airplanes. No more cute lil red and white planes with the quote :" Now everyone can fly". On the other hand, Taipei Int'l Airport is packed with not only local airlines like Eva Air, Cathay Air, China Air, Singapore Air, but also Northwest Airlines and many more.



Check out the planes!

Departed the airport again, and this time, it's an ass-hurting ride. 12 hours non-stop service to L.A. Worst of all, the seats are small and compact, dry condition, movie sucks any many more. That was a torturing ride I must say. I couldn't sleep well during that flight. I only slept for 6 hours if not mistaken (not continuous). But it was quite worth it when I looked out the window and saw these:





Can someone slap me please. I've finally reached L.A.,United States of America, land of opportunity.

We've arrived 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled time of arrival. So without wasting time, met my sis and rent a car to our hotel in Anaheim. Don't get it wrong, Anaheim is actually part of Los Angeles. Los Angeles has 80 cities if not mistaken. Bla bla bla.....not too good in U.S.A's history. Later that evening, we went to Hollywood Boulevard. Chinese Theatre, Kodak Theatre, Walk of Fame, etc etc....

But first, we have to go through a complicated map plus the evening "car park". Not to forget, Los Angeles is also known for its heavy traffic as well as bumper to bumper traffic jams. See for yourself.



Well, traffic jam helped me alot as I had to "decipher" this:



Confused? I was.

Well, I also had time to cam-whore(according to people).



Oakley + Me = Blizzard *joking*

Then, we stopped somewhere which I couldn't remember to snap this famous sign board.



"Welcome to Hollywood" Paula Abdul said in American Idol.

Went to walk of fame after that. Once again, Patrick cam-whored.



John Travolta. From my facial expression, it was damn cold.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you, The Chinese Theatre.

How was it? Spectacular?

Our tummy was growling later on. So, some road-side hotdog stall showed up. We then had jalapeno (Halapeno a.k.a Mexican Pepper) and hot dog.



The best combination of all. The spiciness really spice up your night.

Late evening, went to Beverly Hills, shopping haven for Californians*
* Filthy rich ones.





Palm Drive



Versace



Two Rodeo Drive



A cam-whore in "cam-whoring".

Well, that's all folks for the moment, more to come tomorrow and it will be Vegas!

I'm back!

It's been a long time I didn't blog. Some thought I've shaken my hand with the devil, some thought I'm studying abroad and others just don't know anything about me. =)

Well, I've just came back from the States/Canada (Northern Hemisphere). It was a short 3 weeks I must say! I missed that trip very much. Hoping to go again in the future. *day dreaming*

I will post an entry about my trip tomorrow okay? I promise!

For the time being, I have to feed my sugarplum (tummy). Ciaoz...
