Salty Sour Chocolate Cake

I have come to a point in my life whereby I've finally reached a mutual understanding with a mamak.

Everybody who knows me knows that I avoid anything spicy like the plague(it was so embarassing when we ordered dinner dishes in Langkawi they had to order the non-spicy stuff because "jolene cannot eat wan"). Though, I love their maggi goreng so much! I acquired a taste for mamak maggi goreng in Nawaz SS14.. I've yet to be satisfied with any other variation since.

But today, today is special. Today is Mamak Understands Jolene Day. Everybody gets a holiday. *pee* (blows whistle).

I usually request for "maggi goreng, tak mau lada, tak mau cili, tak mau pedas."(malay2english: fried maggi, don't want pepper, don't want chilli, don't want it to be spicy.).. And by the end of the sentence, the mamak's pupils will dilate and he'll scrunch his eyebrows up and walks back into the kitchen as I shout after him, "TAK MAU LADA, TAK MAU CILI, TAK MAU PEDAS YA!!"..

Oh! But today, I only had to repeat myself ONCE!

Jia Lin was served my plate by accident and she was staring at it and she and Li Shan were looking at it and saying "aiyer, why so white like no chilli like that wan?"..
Me, not quite realizing it's mine, didn't claim it immediately because it's very seldom I get what I order. Sometimes I don't even get anything at all.(Sucks to you TAJ Curry House... lazy slow pokes)..

Ah.. the first taste. I spread it evenly on my tongue to test for any tell-tale signs of chilli fibres... negative. Second bite, third scoop, fourth shovel... HEY! It's not spicy at all!! *chinks of teh ais glasses all around*

I wanted to give the mamak who took my order a 5 dollar tip. Then I remembered that I am a Malaysian(chinese) student and not some middle age european tourist. But the point is, they deserve the credit. Maybe next time I shall give them a dollar for their effort to wash their wok before cooking my maggi goreng. :) Yes, that'll be a good idea.

Oops.. did I not mention that it was at Sri Melur SS15 that I had my ideal maggi goreng?

However, nothing's perfect.

The volume of my maggi goreng is inequivalent to the volume of my stomach. Although there are elastic fibers and smooth muscles in the walls of my stomach to ease expansion if needed, but as it presses againt my diaphragm, it results in discomfort. Therefore, I need to puke.

Dinner yesterday at Holiday Villa was fairly well. Had a teeny weeny bit of hope that we'd be able to spot some Malaysian Idols(who're staying there till the shows over) who would come back from the result show. We had normal buffet with seafood..salmon, oysters, mushrooms, prawns, sushi... ah. Then there was something called Irish Stew. basically rubber in good sauce. Rubber that has an identity crisis. We deduced it to be lamb/sheep.

My mum saw a bowl of 'brown sugar' next to the fruits and she scooped two spoons of it and poured it into her tea. :D She was puzzled as to why the brown sugar didn't dissolve. She was even more shocked to see Dad(who is abit diabetic) having a moutain of 'brown sugar' on his fruit plate.

She had asam floating in her tea. That's why it didn't dissolve. -_-

That aside, after the meal, brother sloshed on a chocolate cake onto his main course plate. Then he laughed and mumbled something(as usual) and started to brush his fingers up and down his lips indicating stupidity. I didn't understand and then he said that he sloshed his cake onto the gravy from his main course. LOL. Then he brushes his fingers on his lips again. Stupid, indeed.



Surprisingly Dad contributed to my input that his chocolate cake looked like poo-poo. Dad called it Crappy Chocolate Cake.. haha..! Then it got me started.. I told my brother, "You know there's this website online......" and he was like, "shut up, sure something dirty wan.." .. hahahaha. He knows me too well.

But I continued anyway. There's this website online called Ratemypoo.com and you can submit your poo to see if it's cool or not. Hahaha..then I suggested to my brother that he could take a picture of his poo next time. THen he agreed and said maybe can put up on his blog. Then he said that he'll lose all his friends after that. LOL.

I'm currently in the college library and I feel VERY stiffled.. I can't clack away at the keyboard like I do at home for fear of appearing annoying:). But at least I found my 'flow' in a different environment. I tried www.blogspot.com.. and it being the Daddy of Blog-servers, is banned  by ICT. Muahahaha.  Blogdrive, not very famous, is not banned.:D

Well, the time is 2.35pm and I've got a dental appointment at 2.45pm. Cheerio!

Hi! The title of your entry attracted me! It reminded me of the time when I made 'salty' chocolate cake on accident. You see, I mistook that salt for sugar, and though the cake looked gorgeous when I cut it, it couldn't be eaten! You can't imagine how embarassing that is when I gave it to my friend for her birthday with everyone staring and waiting to eat the cake! Oh well, that's just one of those moments, thought I'd share it with you. Nice diary you have here!

Hi, my name is Jolene and if there is a question in your head, this answer will definitely answer it: I was wrong and irrational. I was being a woman.


Jolene Lai, Jolene Lai,
Came to life in January and not July,
She is 19 years of age,
Can't wait to earn her own wage,
This dental student is home sick,
Will never be in Kedah for more than three weeks.

Subang Jaya is where she's from,
The only place she'll ever call home.
Has a boyfriend, a brother and a dog,
The things she says can give you a shock.

Especially for her father, who always gets a heart attack when he reads this blog.

Hey, rhymes!
