  • Roti Canai off the menu?!?!?!

    From MSN News:-

    Malaysian national dish may be off the menu: report

    Malaysia's national dish, the roti canai fried bread, may be off the menu due a flour shortage that has hit on the heels of a cooking oil drought, a report said Tuesday.

    The Malaysian Indian Restaurant Owners Association warned that flour prices have spiked as supply shrinks, spelling problems for vendors who produce the crispy, flaky bread which is a breakfast staple.

    "There will be no roti canai from next week. This is because we have run out of flour and are finding it tough to secure further supply at reasonable prices," association president Ramalingam Pillai told the New Straits Times.

    Ramalingam said flour wholesalers were charging about 15 to 45 percent above the price-controlled rate of 33.60 ringgit (10.70 dollars) for a 25-kilo (55-pound) bag of flour.

    "We cannot afford to pay more because we have agreed to the government's call not to increase (the) price of food. And at the same time, we do not want to bear the additional costs," he said, blaming stockpiling for the crisis.

    "Is there hoarding of the item? The domestic trade and consumer affairs ministry must investigate," he said.

    Malaysia last week imposed rationing of cooking oil as panic-buying triggered by rumours of price hikes stripped supplies from supermarket shelves.

    On Monday the government said it would raise production with an extra 70,000 tonnes of cooking oil to be put on the market each month to ease the severe shortage.

  • I'm running out of time for getting all things that I'm suppose to complete prior to my departure. Procrastination kills...

    Things are lying all over the places and I've ZERO idea where to start, what to bring and how to pack. For the past few weeks, I was really excited and looking forward going home since my last trip back was almost 2 years ago; however, as it is getting nearer to the date, I started to feel nervous, extremely. Loads to worry about, tons of uncertainties arise, too many questions I'm asking myself without an exact answer...  

    And when I try to look back at all these years I've been here, I started to ask myself, why do I ended up like this? Look at how things have made you into? Being turned into a total brand new me or I'm still the old me? Have you achieved all the dreams and goals you ever had on the first day you arrived? Or you've thrown all old dreams behind your mind? If you've achieved, is that what you're really looking for? Are you happy with it now? Or you'd rather not to achieve it at the beginning?

    What am I going to do if my visa doesn't goes well? Master degree, right! And what kind of master degree are you applying for? Where can you see yourself at in the future? MBA? For the sake of the society, to be able to survive better in the reality world or the favor of your own interest? What do you really want? You aren't 18 no more, you've no time to waste, absolutely zero time to live in your own fantasize la-la-land anymore. Dang~
