MyDailyRoti is in Dubai!

As of now I am concealed in a safehouse in Dubai with the room number of "911". =) It was an exhausting 6 1/2 hours flight from KL to Dubai, made worse by technical problems with the plane engine causing an extra 2 hour delay which made us spent a total of 8 hours in an Emirates Airlines Boeing 777, my maiden flight on the newer Boeing. A few noisy kids and an arsehole passenger behind me made the trip even more unforgettable by constantly complaining and threatening the flight crew for not providing Middle Eastern food, instead serving croissants.

    Anyway, I was recommended by one of the customers at my workplace, who travels a lot that Emirates Airlines had one of the best on flight entertainment systems, simply dubbed "ice". Of course, remembering the words of the wise man, I had to give it a try and it sure did impress me. So many of the latest movies that I missed last year, I made it up by catching up on flight, making use of the time. I watched a total of three movies: Toy Story 3 (finally), Grown Ups, Dinner for Schmucks and Inception. Of which the latter two I only watched half because I fell asleep in the middle of both movies. Anyhow I will try to review all the movies next time.

    ....and finally, touch down at Dubai International Airport, which is not as good as our very own KLIA at 3pm Dubai time =) Met up with sister at airport, went for dinner at Dubai Mall and then went n to visit the world's tallest building, the amazing Burj Khalifa. Being a car nut, Dubai is heaven for me, I can honestly say that 50% of all Mercs here are genuine AMG meat machines and Rolls Royces are a common sight. Great!

    Finally, back to room 911, took a bath and blogging as of right now. Anyway, will go back to the airport soon to catch a flight at 2am Dubai time to JFK Airport, NY. Cheers! Bon Voyage!

Happy New Year to everyone from MyDailyRoti!

2011 had arrived! Best of luck in the new year everybody. Just came back from partying, then mamak and will be leaving for the airport in a few hours for Dubai, then New York 10 hours later. Cheers! =)

Look what I found in my room..

My sister's Xmas present =)

Trip tommorow, how to not get fatter?

Will be leaving for NY tommorow. There is only one thing that I fear about this trip. No, it's not getting shot by some crazy yank. I'm worried about the food. 12 days without gym will really threaten all my efforts to try to get slimmer during the holidays. Perhaps I should wear as much as I can in the snow just to add up to my body weight, hence more effort needed to drag myself along, thus using up more energy and burning up more fat in the process. Anyhow, I hope that the hotel we will be staying at will have a gym. For now, let's party for new years eve!

Last Day at Work

As the title suggests, it's now, as I'm typing, my last day at work. Just reached home light headed and freakin happy. Anyway, reflections on my first time working. Working is great, meeting new people, learning new things and making new friends. I expected work to be hell on earth but it's all fun and shit. Coincidentally. a few of my old pals came today to the cafe. Just wanna thank everybody at work for all the fun and the drinks....off to the Big Apple soon. Cheers! =)

Makaning - Home Pan-Fried Steak

I have to admit that I'm more of a carnivore than a herbivore and I view vegetarians as idiots because of the flavour that they are missing from meat. Meat is an amazing creation of God. If there was an Oscars for God, it would be because he made meat taste so good. Among all the meats available for human consumption, beef must be one of the most flavourful and the simplest to cook.

Above: Ahh...bloody in the centre. Perfect.

    For my version, just a simple dash of salt, ground black pepper and rosemary will do. Mmmm...and don't overcook it, bloody in the middle with a pan-seared crust on the outside to seal the flavour and juices inside. Heaven. Protein rich and easier to cook than Magee, the best pre-workout meal for me. =)

Above: Defrosting is the most troublesome step in cooking. A lot of the juices might be lost here. Left my microwave all bloody.

Happy Holidays Everyone from MyDailyRoti!!

I can't believe how many times I have repeatedly typed this sentence, "It's been awhile since I updated my blog." but it's been a while since I updated my blog. As I've mentioned for the millionth time, I'm tangled with gym in the afternoon and my part time job at night. At the moment that I am typing this sentence, it is Christmas Day and I will be working at night...sheesh, just like Christmas eve.

    Anyway, I will probably have more time to update my blog and more interesting stuff to blog about once I go to the Big Apple next week. =) In the meantime, you guys are probably thinking that the pathetic fatass that runs this blog is just giving excuses because he has nothing to blog about. Of course everybody knows now that I work at a cafe bar at night, but just to prove that I go to gym in the afternoon, I uploaded a picture of me outside the gym, and I also ticked something off my bucket list. =)
