Let's Play:

Let’s play a little game: What or whom am I (you read the text below and then tell me who or what you think the story is about).

The Night

The night comes in all its glory, blanketing us from the day’s pain or sorrow. No more shell I witness the light being shined on the misery of the world for I am breath the sweet, cool, damp air of the nocturnal forest. In the hours before the wake I will feel the boldness of my desires, I will allow myself to feast upon the nefarious of the least lasting populace, for who will miss the contemptible walking the streets in search of harm. The night, will sooth the soul of my phantom as I reach through the ages of the days no more and the time that will come well pass those who walk the light of today and yet to be of tomorrow. Stained on the ground in a pool of crimson is left after my desire for the children of the night to scavenge through for their measly little taste. Power of seduction I will use to sooth the frightened to give of themselves to be of one with me until no more they are. The night is my beat that my heart will ever know for ever more.

Well today is the 3rd day of Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Chai to everyone and remmber it is the year of the OX.


So far it had been a pretty good holiday, we had the reunion dinner the eve of CNY, my wife, her father and her niece were there.

We had steamboat near what is called old town in Ipoh, at a place called Momo Cafe & Steamboat (You can read about it here and see several good pictures of it). I really did eat way too much fried food since I am not really into steamboat much. I have tried it many times over the last 10 years in several places throughout Malaysia and always think of it as just "wet" food. I know a lot of people really love it and I am glad they do (I really wish I did) but it is just not my thing. However, there is a place at Sunway up near KL (Kuala Lumpur) that I did enjoy very much, it is a Thai restaurant. Buy Momo's is nice, it is outside and is clean, there food is fresh for the most part unlike a few places I have been to where the meat and poultry looks very old and not safe to eat. So the four of us were there and had a nice time eating until we could eat no more. Afterwards we walked over to Old Town Coffee sorry to say this particular one was not as nice as the one we normally go to in GreenTown, Ipoh.

Anyway, we been remodeling, this time it was our master bedroom and the guest room. Turned out very nice and very comfy, I'll post some pics of it later. I had planned on finishing this within one week and am glad to say that more or less we did finish it within the time alloted and before the actual start of CNY. Very tiring working nonstop for a few days with just 2-3 hours of sleep a night. Almost everything in both rooms (actually our entire home) is IKEA, they really need to photograph our home.

My Malaysian Experiences

Welcome to my blog about my life in Malaysia, I hope you will find this blog at the very least somewhat entertaining, well you can always poke fun at it.

I would like to share with you my opinions, interpretations, thoughts and ideas about my experiences and my living in Malaysia for many years. At times life can be very hard and annoying but for most of the time it has been a wonderful home and I am sure it will continue to be. In this site you will read about many wonderful and not so wonderful meals I have tasted throughout the years as well as topics about events that have interested me

First though a disclaimer:

All comments on here are strictly my "own" point of view, or my own thoughts, some may be funny, some maybe even be offensive to others, but that is what free thinking is about, the right to think our own private thoughts and share them if we wish. At no time is any comments on this website meant to incite hurtful feelings, or to attempt to harm any person or person's own thoughts, once again these are some of my own private thoughts and I do not present them to be the accepted truth by all the public, just my own opinions that I wish to share. You may agree or disagree, that is your "own" free choice to decide. I may like red you may like purple, who is to say the other is wrong? OK, now that that has been said and out of the way, on to the more important stuff like my experiences.


So who am I and why am I in Malaysia? I am an American, well that is where I was born and grew up and I have been working overseas eve since my university years ended. I have been in Malaysia off and on since November 1999, therefore I believe I have earned the right to make assumptions and comments about life here in this wonderful country. I own property and am happily married to a wonderful Chinese woman from Malaysia.

You will find this blog to be mainly about food, well I will try to make it mostly about food, but will also use it as sort of a day to day (or not so day to day) journal of issues. You may see posts every day and then some with a week or two in between so an advance apology is given for my forgetfulness to post.
