As you Sleep

As You Sleep

Close your eyes, and I will be swimming
Lullaby's fill your room, and I will be singing
Singing to only you
Don't forget I'll hold your head
Watch the night sky fading red


But as you sleep, and no one is listening
I will lift you off your feet, I'll keep you from sinking
Don't you wake up yet, cause soon I'll be leaving you
Soon I'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me


In the car, the radio leaves me searching for your star
A constellation of frustration driving home
Singing my thoughts back to me, and watching heartache on TV


But as you sleep, and no one is listening
I will lift you off your feet, I'll keep you from sinking
Don't you wake up yet, cause soon I'll be leaving you, soon I'll be leaving you
But you won't be leaving me


Don't forget I'll hold your head, watch the night sky fading red


But as you sleep, and no one is listening
I will lift you off your feet, I'll keep you from sinking
Don't you wake up yet, cause soon I'll be leaving you
Soon I'll be leaving you, but you won't be leaving me

Something Corporate

Amir being the phsyco Coach who plays Center and me the hmm.. what was i?? GK or Ga?? Anyway I really enjoyed during the time when we are all together as friends. Time flies.

This is their wedding day. Such a beautiful couple, a wonderful wife and a wonderful husband blessed with one beautiful son Iman. May you guys live peacefully and may Allah bless you always.

Chicken Feet anyone?

I managed to come back home and had lunch with dad. Here are some rare dish being served in the house just for today. Let me tell you something, Of all delicacies, the ones that i cannot get into my system is this one:

CHICKEN FEET!

"ping pong balls". just in case you wonder, I dont know who smuggled it onto the house. Its all boiled. ........shshshs... :)

I tried once before (Chicken feet) but eiew. Its not like its not tasty, its just the thought of it. I can take on Petai, Jaring, Durian, Salted fish, Belacan. Only my dad eats it in the family. Please do not order chicken feet when ur having dim sum with me. :)

I didn't do much today. I just went out to make quick check. The chefs made asian, chinese and malaysian theme buffet today. "IKAN Asam Pedas" = fish with spicy sour gravy. Its regarded as the most popular malaysian dish for a fish.

Ikan Asam Pedas

Sunday tomorrow. DST carnival at Jerudong park. Don wants me to come over. I might just go. Someones arriving tomorrow. Sigh. I did catched up with the argentina vs ivory coast match early morning. Damn.... 6 - NIL. I think the odds for england winning the world cup will be up. Say from 50 - 1 to 100 - 1?? Overall It was a brilliant performance.

Anyway I met up with my Amir yesterday. It surely was great to see him again. We reminis a bit. We used to be so close througout his bachelors day. I can never forget you man. He's very rare and happily married to Nining with one kid. Thanks for the thoughts brother, i really appreciate it. Got me enlightened. See..... What are friends for. hmm I dont know if i kept ranting to him everyday? :) I guess Im ok. Im just missing someone badly right now.

love,

Pol

Meet Azlan

Let me introduce to you Azlan. A qualified Chef who works in communication department. He's the type of guy who listens very well. He doesn't talk alot but he's a joker. Big Time. Take care man. We've been friends since 1999. He stopped me from flying and saved 16 hundred dollar of me. What can I say, life can be crazy. I was subdued when he told me to go Umrah instead! I hate you for that, cubatah layan saja tia. Text your girlfriend and tell her that you love her k. See u

Dinner is served...

Spinach Fettucine with gourmet salad and tomato sauce.

I had spinach fetuccine with tomato sauce. I love those gourmet salad. Its a mixed leaf of Frisee, Andive, Lamb's lettuce, baby spinach. Didnt go out today. Spent all day at home. Haidi called me up this morning, she's promoting her beauty Salon (Lemonadenan). Besides manicure, perming , stuff, Guess what, She also set up blind dates for women and men. hmm.... I still have to find out more though. She's been asking me if i can help gather single guys for her. HA! I see what i can do k Haidi. Anyway good luck on your business. May it be successful. Togo Vs south Korea now.

Noodle in a box

i just love this chinese take away style. Chopsticks and a box. Photo taken at Leicester Sq, London.

I didnt plan to blog this morning, I thought this picture would be nice for my profile. Unfortunately, the size is too big. I need to reduce the image size down to 50 kb but i dont know how. Morning was not as rosy. I'm not at the right state of mind. Ive lost few kilos over one week. Football training this afternoon, I'll take some picture later.

kiss and make up guys..

Loughborough Fettucine with Cheddar cream Sauce, with Salmon, sauteed Funghi and gourmet Salad, topped with Egg york.

I made this recipe for someone very important. No, she's not Italian thank you. It was not planned and made this simple dish in Loughborough, so thats why i call it. I chose salmon coz it has its very own taste. Funghi is mushroom in Italian word. Mushroom grows naturally. Those beautiful mixed gourmet salad represent freshness. Fettucine is a flat Kway Teow like pasta made from semolina, and of course the egg comes from a Hen :P. it doesnt have any meaning but just try it!

Recipes:
Half pkt Fettucine (Hua ho or Soon Lee) Read the instruction first!
2 medium slice Salmon Fillet
150 gm Cheddar Cheese
150 gm Cream Cheese
10 gm Fresh Mushroom
1 dollop Double Cream hmm 150 ml would do
1/4 pint Fresh Milk
2 Egg york
1/4 bunch Fresh English parsley
1-2 drops of Mixed Herbs

Slumber Method:
Wash your hands
Boil Fettucine with a pinch of salt, once cooked mix chopped English parsley then set aside.
Sauteed (Stir Fry) fresh mushrooms.
Use Gridler or any non-stick pan then cook the salmon, Skin down first. (saja!)
Washed your Salads

Sauce:
On a Low Heat, Pour little butter, melt cheddar cheese and Cream cheese in one go, add some milk, do not stop stirring until even. Turn off the heat n swirl heavy cream in. tsk tsk tsk, yea i know. baik jogging.
You can always use flour to thicken it. Salt and blackpepper to taste.
Then do your own Presentation, Impress your love ones. Enjoy!

Pls leave any comment or questions. Tq

Rack of lamb. Who likes LAMB? In malay it's call "Bidai Bidai" some parts of the ribs. I decided to upload this gourmet for its unique touch. That yellow pudding look-alike is Veal terrine. The chef uses Oats for crumbles. Oats is good on its own, i dont really like mixing oats with main course. Oats suits well with desserts.

Terrine = Layered.

Nyeh~

Food Expo in Singapore

My collection of Artistic gourmet. I hope oneday i'll become one of those "CHefs", who apreciate food. You see, Food art is really about how you can digest different culinary types of food into one magnificent touch. Bear in mind what u see nyman doesn't necessary taste nyman. Its the curiosity yet tempting.

The picture above was taken during my visit to the SIngapore FOOD EXPO recently. More pictures underway.

Id call that Stuffed Salmon melted cheese and Grilled Abalone with Hollandaise.
Whats Hollandaise?? hehe my terms would be Egg york with Heavy Cream and Butter. hmm thats so FAT!

Change

I will succumb to it. Have a nice day..

Fetty was there

I was glad to see Fetty. I thought she was still in Brisbane. She look solid as ever. Congrats on ur masters degree Fet. There's Vacancies at Amsarra, come this September :)

Take care u

Html just too much for me.

I totally forgot all the basics about html. Funny how I got merit for web publishing exam during Uni time. Mi looks like I need a hands on pratice with you. I want my layout lawa jua. HA! o well...
Mimi's on msn now, she's having Chicken Cordon bleu.
Crodon Bleu is a place somewhere in France. I dont really know what is it famous for. One thing im sure about its the cordon bleu Cheese. lets hope the recipe is authentic. Speaking about authentic, the pros n cons of being a chef is that u basically know how does the food taste like. No short-cut recipes for me please. Therefore, it really sucks when you know some ingredients is missing. SO its KOLO MEE for me!

I miss western buffets.....

You were right

Went to coffeezone, had some quick tutorial session with mimi. Now i get to know the real concept of blogging. Had some smoked salmon and avacado salad. Its ok but it would have been better if they had some gourmet salads like rokets and andive.

Banar mi, lame banar the 1st two blogs i did. Im taking it off. I'll post more later. I have some photos to upload. Blog blog blog...
