Operation Maggi Mee!

One early Sunday morning, very early, about 0000 hours, the three EVIL Yong siblings decided to sleep over in Calvin's lair. On their beds they plotted evil schemes of buying back our Tok Sira Semi-Detached House and another treacherous plan: to cook Maggi Mee at night in the Calvin's lair...without pa-ma's permission...MWAHAHAHAHAHA!


So at 0030 hours, when the guardian of the Yong family kitchen went to slumber and shut the master lair up, Calvin the Big Ghost Head (Tai Guai Tao, being eldest mar…) whispered ACTION! Suddenly three dark figures rose from their pretentious, guai guai, go-to-sleep-already slumber. Briefings were given by the Big Ghost Head (yours truly on this blog) and they sprung into action. Quietly tiptoeing, the Less Big Ghost Head (Caleb Yong) grabbed the Big Ghost Head’s useless-Life’s-Good-prehistoric-handphone-turned-to-torch. Using his best stealth techniques, he stole the treasure chest of MAGGI MEE and rushed back to the Lair. And all the Ghost Heads started arguing which flavour to choose from. In the end the Small Ghost Head (Lydia Yong) forced us to eat Mee Sedap Mee Goreng Rasa Kari Kapitan and Mee Maggi Asam Laksa. Spying through the door, he whispered again: COAST CLEAR! Once again the brave Less Big Ghost Head guided the way of the three Ghost Heads. The Big Ghost Head was in charge of handling hot water to cook the packets of golden treasure as the Less Big Ghost Head despite of all his bravery, is phobic towards holding hot water. So he ended carrying forks and he did it with much ingenuity. Meanwhile the Small Ghost Head was fighting to do something and threatened to betray us to the Pa-Ma monsters. Finally, Big Ghost Head allowed her to take the big cooking bowls. With her clumsiness, she almost bang into Lair’s Open Sesame Entrance and left us prone to the Monsters’ dreaded awakening. Luckily, the Monsters were still snugly in the bed, bellowing smoke in snores.

After much commotion, the three Big Ghost Heads finally managed to create a kitchen in the Lair. Hot cups of water smuggled were poured into the pitiful solids of mee without any mercy from the three Ghost Heads. Laughing wickedly, two bowls of mee were brewed in the cauldron. 

With a dose of pre-mixed curry powder, the Less Big Ghost Head swallowed without hesitation all the mee.

Meanwhile, the Small Ghost Head muddled with the supposed to be Mee Goreng.

With great stirring power (Mach 3 speed), she threatened a whole Lair clean up.

However, Big Ghost Head comes to the rescue of the bowl of pitiful Maggi Mee.

With much time wasted, finally the so-tasty-like-heaven Mee Goreng Rasa Kari Kapitan was DONE! Wicked eyes of the Small Ghost Head and Big Ghost Head could not stand the sight of it. Immediately, ravagely, the noodles vanished like Vanish O2 Power.
Uh-Oh, the Big Ghost Head caught red handed with extra photographic evidence...

The Less Big Ghost Head also gets to share because the Big Ghost Head is very generous and believes in sharing is caring...

Wiping of the blood of the killing of mee (the curry in short), they immediately swung into the mode of ANNIHILATION of EVIDENCE! Just like Easy Off Bang, Bang! All the stains were on Small Ghost Head’s vampirish tongue.

Next was the cleaning of everything which the Small Ghost Head did all the contribution.

Meanwhile others were busy documenting their crime for your viewing. However, the Less Big Ghost Head had to make sure the Maggi Mee packets are out of sight from treacherous Kakak.
Final bits of over-spilled cauldron potion waste is wiped clean till you hear the screeching "CHIT-CHIT" sound. The last evidence to be cleansed was the Ghost Heads filthy-stucked-with-mee teeth. 


0121 hours, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Camwhored the group photo and become guai guai chai again…Lights off and back to slumber...



The sun dawned and the three Angel Heads woke. They thought their plans were perfect and happily chatted in the car, preparing to be angels again at church. Then, Ma shouted: "WHO COOKED MAGGI MEE LAST NIGHT?!!!" All three were stupefied and realized they can’t hide their horns and tails and devilish fork. But the Small Ghost Head was not suspected and the acquitted  laughed. See who has the laugh when Big Ghost Head betrayed her: "SHE GOT ALSO AR!" Finally, all in the car laughed over the stupidity of not adding water back into the lava-filled volcano of Ma’s favourite kitchen, the termoflask…

P.S. This is NOT a fictional story, but based on a true story. Now you know how the smaller Yongs behave when master guru disiplin Yong Sir is slumbering.

Random Picture Post of Feelings

Joanne loves to create self emoticons, but too bad I haven't reach the PRO Camwhorer stage. Here are just some pictures to show my feelings.  Everyone like picture posts right?

I started off life as innocent as him and SHORT...

Then I grew so TALL that I bang the toilet door!

It's really interesting when people notice something different about you..."You got six feet oredy anot?" I am all the pleased to explain to them, then they start to speculate the reason of me being TALL...groundnuts roots? NUTS!

That's why I always act cool when people ask me why I am so TALL? Cause I so lazy to answer their question and they say I "look down" on them. Make me stand on longkang so that I can talk to them at same level...

Well, can't be blame, Malaysians never see really tall guys before. I understand how Malaysians yearn to be TALL and always ask me to donate some height to them and in return see me so kurus, they donate cholestrol. But what Rudi the Irish said was right for he saw many tall people before. I was TALL because I'm thin...

This picture has nothing to do with me, it's my sister bertudung...

I really got nothing to do huh? I don't really care if you don't think I'm tall. I just appreciate you took me as your friend. Do you know that TALL friends can help you shade from potentially hazardous UV rays? Haha, I hope you all appreciate me not because I'm TALL...next post if I'm really free, I'll post on the disadvantages of being tall...

Foodscape


This is a wonderful email of pictures I got from Jyo Lyn. Let the pictures WOW you! This is what I call CREATIVITY...

The British photographer Carl Warner created a series of phtos using only food to make the cenary. The word “foodscapes” (union of the words food and landscape) show underwater caves, forests, beaches on sunset and even waterfalls, using fruits, vegetables, cheese, cold meat, pasta, among other.

In this forest, trees are made of brocolis, with peas hanged up and the highways are paved with cumin. The grass is made of herbs and the mountains, of bread. Clouds made of cauliflower, decorate the sky.

The photgrapher tells that he is known in the neighborhood of his house, in Kent, England, for passing hours in th emarket looking for the best brocolis or the best pepper to “compose” his cenaries. To gain depth, the photos are taken on tables with 1,2 x 2,4 meters square. Besides, they are registrated in”layers”, to avoid that the food shrivels before the picture is taken.

The edible ingredients in this rural scene of italian inspiration include a small car made of lasagna slices, fields of pasta, and clouds of mozzarela. Trees of pepper, parsley and basil complete the scene, at the bottom, a small village of cheese.

“I like the way of how the little aspects of nature look like big”, says Carl Warner. At the Italian inspiration´s kitchen, many tomatos and olives.

He confesses that, till now, he hasn´t convinced yet his four children to eat more vegetables.

“At least, I can´t say that they play with food more than I do”, declares the photographer.

This cavern is made of marine crustaceans. The rocks are made of bread, but, at the deep of the sea, they are made of cauliflower. To make the tridimensional sensation to the pictures, each scene is composed on a 1,2 x 2,4 m square table.

Rice, coconut, many grains and a sky made of purple cabbage compose this bucolic “land”.

Trees with cabbage leaves, rocks of sweet potato, narrow pass made of bread and the sky made of purple cabbage.


The red sea of this beach, at the sunset, is made of salmon slices. The rocks are made of potatoes and bread. A small boat made of beans completes the scene.

Shitake mushrooms, sesame and other grains


Cheese houses, awnings and baskets of macarroni, grains and vegetables form this small passage. 


Italian culinary with many vegetables and pasta. Houses made of cheese.


At first view, it is difficult to notice that the mountains are made of bread...

Creativity is impressive, baloons made of fruits and vegetables, trees made of brocolis, rocks of potatoes, farmings of corn and cucumber, city of cheese, tower  of carrot, and so on...



In this alpine scene, Grissini biscuits and Parma ham turn into a wheelbarrow that will be pulled by the way of salami with trees of bacon around it.

In this sight, the main ingredients are:

Ham: sky, mountains,waterfall and river; Bread: rocks; Grissini biscuits: house and trapiche; Salami: brickworks


In this alipne scene, the stars are the cold meat. Grissini biscuits and Parma
ham turn into the sleigh pulled by the mountains of snow made of other cold meat, as smoked turkey and Bologna. The Parma ham is also located on the “pines”.


The photos will be used by a british supermarket chain in an advertising campaign, and Warner also thinks in putting them all together on a book to promote a healthy feeding among children.

I guess the campagin will work, I didn´t feel like eating, after seeing so much good stuff...
