The way I see it

Some architect had a sense of humour. The Dewan Bahasa Dan Pustaka building in Kuala Lumpur is definitely not a building I would show as 'iconic' in a tour of KL but it has emotion down to a science.  This building is pissed off and I'm pretty sure it is because they have yet to showcase him as a transformer... poor guy doesn't even realise he is a 'Go Bot' (google it or be born in the 80s) see the pics below and judge for yourself! Look at the furrowed brow... totally angry It strikes an imposing figure

First off just want to say I'm not very good at making perogies. I've tried 3 times now and I would have to say that they have got better each time. Here in Malaysia we have a small problem with getting the right ingredients for any western cooking job. for these bad boys I was really at the mercy of one particular ingredient - sour cream! The grocery store near my house doesn't always have sour cream in stock or perhaps it is a hot item and I never knew.  I better get off my rant and on to my post. I used a very simple recipe for the perogies The shell  4.5 cups of all purpose flour (I used a bit more) 3 eggs 2 cups of sour cream 2 tbsp of butter 2 tbsp of oil (or more butter if that's your thing) salt (you need a couple tsps or so) basically you mix the wet items then add them to the flour (I thought it was more difficult) make a ball or two and let stand covered for about 10-15 mins The filling 4-6 baking or other large potatoes 1 cup of cheese shre...

Over the course of the years I have collected a lot of things but there comes a time when you really have to learn to let go and downsize.  I think I have reached that point with some of my more space hogging collections that I'm really not that into anymore. Today I had my first sale and we will see how it goes from here on in. I'm trying to liquidate some games, books and toys so, if you have ever been to my house feel free to make me an offer on anything you like... I really need those American/Canadian Pickers guys to roll through. LOL

These are the masks we wear, For better or worse, The signs that do protect us. This is the shadow cast For outside glance A mirror shone to save us. When tempers flare And we're not there Come gather all around us. Slip on this sheathe, A warm embrace, And breathe relief Problems will never find us.

Let's get something out of the way right now. This is neither the best nor is it particularly western. It is, however, not a bad place to stay in Hong Kong.  Fairly centrally located near 'Times Square' according to the signage this hotel is independently operated and is not a "corporate" hotel. The people were generally very friendly and helpful for the most part. The location superb. Right off the airport bus line e11 and a stones throw from the mall.  Great eateries surround this hotel so you won't be disappointed. The decor is... interesting. The room ambiance is highlighted by this wonderful chandelier. Is this a mirror???  NO! It is a mirror frame with a lovely accent of wallpaper. The bed was nice but rather unsupportive overall I would say Location: 10/10 Comfort: 6/10 Friendliness: 7/10 Value: 7.5/10

It has been about a week since Valentine's Day and there are some things that have just gotta stop. 10. Reposts on facebook of art and poetry. People of the world do you know what would be great? If your loved one created his or her own love letter to share on fb not a repost or share of somebody else's (yeah even Shakespeare) I will write my own to  show you how easy it is Roses are funky Violets are nice Let's make like monkey(s) And pick off our lice 9. Couple anythings Couple shirts Couple shoes Couple hats Couple whatevers Stop... just stop 8. Bouquets of wannabe roses Roses are a classic (I'll deal with them next) but what the heck is with pretend roses. Bouquet of muffin roses Bouquet of chocolate roses Bouquet of organic brussel sprout ROSES Classics are classics for a reason people! 6. Roses (I told you) Can y'all pick a new flower? How about hyacinths? Of lily of the valley? Maybe a flowering cacti for a change? And what's t...

5. I am insane Jimmy James the eccentric owner of the fictional WNYX is a tad bit more than nutty he is full on cray cray. I would like to say I am not but let's be honest I made this list and that should be proof enough. 4. I am the boss Although technically my position is closer to Dave's I am still a boss and I have lots of wild ideas. Dave doesn't have the ridiculousness of Jimmy... but I do. 3. Similar build This one is waaaaaay to easy. 2. Similar views on management Remember the episode when Jimmy hires the efficiency expert to get rid of everyone without taking any of the blame. That is totally something I wish I could do. Jimmy, later on does over some of the choices as he is a fair person. Just like me. 1. Has bizarre rules on management Big JJ has these rules on management based on tired axioms and unrelated sayings. These words of advice though nonsensical I have found really work and actually help. So remember the first rule of management "mea...

Popeye likes spinach and Wimpy likes burgers... given my immense physical prowess it is obvious to see who I have more in common with... Menu showcasing their signature oblong Burger patty We went to Wimpy's on an unforgiving late January Friday lunch and had a great meal and a pleasant dining experience.  It had been a couple of years since I ate at Wimpy's and it was a fine time to com back! I actually have fond memories of this place as it is a place that my father loves and it always brings a smile to my face to go here with him. Location is everything in the world and this place is located in a good place just up at the top of Lundy's Lane Niagara Falls, Canada beside the outlet mall. Where the people at? Today, however, they were not being killed with customers. In fact, we were the only ones there!   It was OK though I actually enjoy being the only diners sometimes as you can feel like you are there to seriously judge and inspect the food and if you ar...
