If you are from Malaysia, some of you are definitely following the gripping drama that is the murder of a prominent business woman in Banting. What makes this news more gripping is not only was she burned and the ashes scattered in a river, our forensics discovered the DNA of another 20 individuals making that particular field and river a mini-killing field.
I have 2 questions.
One, what the heck does gripping news mean??? How does a new "grip" you and why is that a metaphor for interesting news? Second, we have a forensics dept??? Shows you how powerful TV can be, now with CSI showing hunky man and low-cut dress wearing forensics hotties. Sign me up!!!
So anyway, the murder suspects were caught and they promptly sang like a canary which led to more arrests and the police searching for more people involved. Unfortunately in this case, the suspects happen to be Indian. Now that really ticks me off!
Already the stereotype about Indians burning our wives or at least prone to domestic violence. And here we go doing what the stereotype describes us. So can we blame society for that? There are many Indians who are trying to dispel that but we do get some roti canai brainiacs.
Anyway, with this now in the forefront of our news. of course our Indian community leaders should be taking leadership in helping to solve the crime and ensure that it's not a crime related to any race. We look forward to our fearless leaders advising us on how we should protect the harmony of our society and we got it....sort of.
If you read yesterday's and today's paper, the problem of all this lies in the violence that they find in Indian movies. Bollywood, being violent, is the catalyst of our race being violent. That also means that our race are mindless zombies when we watch violent movies since we only focus on the violence and not on the moral or the ending where the good guys ALWAYS wins and crime doesn't pay. It is also ignorant to say that seeing the TV also has comedy and cookshows but you don't see us suddenly being a race of clowns and cooking mutton varuvel by the pot loads!!!
It's also an insult to us parents seeing that we are less influential than TV. From their hypothesis, these kids spend time watching a few movies and turn into brutal homicidal maniacs. The examples that parents set for us must be just as poor as mindless TV is parents are so easily replaced. So the problem must be bad parenting right?
Well, if you asked a rational, pragmatic, logical and devilishly handsome while aerodynamic in shape Chindian, he will tell you that it's a bit of both. Kids at a certain age are very impressionable. OF course if you leave them be, they may just turn out to whatever it is that was influencing them and 90% of the stimulus comes from home, meaning the family. And parents are the biggest influence. How we treat each other, how we respect and love each other, how do we respond to certain situations, etc. Unless we are screwed up and absolutely loose morals, your kids will turn out fine.
As parents, as least we give them a solid foundation. If we don't even give them that, then the battle is half lost. If we do, the future is good. Now what happens when the kids grow up is up to them. They now have some measure of a brain and can fully differentiate between right and wrong. Putting the blame on TV is ignorant, out dated and simply living in a state of denial. We debated about this and the debate is over. TV is here to stay regardless. How is it that we show successful sport persons living a lavish life but no one seems to be following their example? But shoot a couple of guns and suddenly we are psychos!
This is just me ranting but I am both disappointed and peeved by the way the media stereotypes us, Indians living up to the stereotype and our leaders making absolutely degenerate statements in public. There ought to be a law against that.
For idiotic politicians who make stupid statements like calling other races immigrants when they themselves are such, telling other races they should go back to China if they don't want to fast, saying that they can't take action against such blatant offenders even though he is the Education Minister or saying things like certain races will lose power just because BN loses in the election, the punishment is to burn them in a little field in Banting and scatter their ashes over the river.
How's that? Not just a pretty face!

Authentic Malay food while sweating
I was recently introduced to a really village styled Malay restaurant right in the heart of our city of Petaling Jaya that is able to combine the authenticity of the food and that of a Malay village ambiance to that of city level pricing. Let's get one thing straight, the food ain't cheap! The variety is absolutely fabulous!! The restaurant appeals to me because it solves my "Malay Dilemma". It is not easy to find good Malay restaurant in the city area that has good food, clean but not price that is going to bore a hole in your pocket.
The variety we get are either at the hawkers or hotels. Hawkers are either selling Thai-Malay food (god knows what's up with that misguided synapse crap) or are dirty. Hotel food tend to be...well....hotel food, by which I mean not great and cost more than kidney transplant surgery.
Images of the Sambal Hijau Menu - Click Here
Sambal Hijau has a wide variety of dishes AND also sauces. Different types of chili and sambal. The vegetable variety is poor though but the rest is good to go. They even have grilled fish and sting ray accompanied by their own made sauce. While the food is not cheap, it's lower than most good Malay restaurant. So my "Malay Dilemma" solved with good food and LOWER (not cheap...did I mention that?) prices. Futhermore, being in Sg Penchala (off TTDI), it's pretty near home and office.
One of the downside to Sambal Hijau is that it is not air-conditioned so if you are going for lunch, dress comfortably. If you are in office attire, you may just get a little sticky and wet. There aren't too many tables and seats so best to get there early for lunch. I would suggest getting there by 12pm. Anytime after that, it's your luck.
We are usually there by 12pm, have a good stuffing, enjoy that green jelly-like substance with "Gula Melaka" or brown sugar and then head off. The other downside is that you can't really stay at the restaurant too long as people are waiting for places. Which is fine, since it's hot anyway. It's very difficult to have a light lunch here. If you are on a diet, going to Sambal Hijau is like taking Tiger Woods on a police operation on a vice bust of prostitutes. After lunch, it's probably best to get to a Starbucks and get a strong latte to pump back your adrenalin for the day. Otherwise it's nighty-night!
Dinner is not as adventurous. Somehow it's not very packed unless it's during the fasting month of Ramadan. We have many folks packing food to break fast with. Sambal Hijau is located in Sg Penchala. I don't have the address, you will have to google it from other who are more considerate than me. For me, I hope you don't find it so that it's not more packed than it already is. I just told you to tease you...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
So enjoy the menu as shown in the link above.....MUUAAHAHAHAHAHA!

Movie Review - Grown Ups about Growing Up (BOOORRRRIIINNNGGGG)
It was a very hyped movie because we are talking Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schnieder and the ever impressive Salma Hayek. Man, I was pumped!! In fact, I thought it was going to be gross, you know full of guy jokes, very Adam Sandler but I got a taste of what would happen when jokers grew up. They get BORING! I am a huge Adam Sandler fan, a guy's guy. Movies like Waterboy, The Zohan, Happy Gilmore where it's very slapstick and GROSS. Here we see a transition of that going into Old-Farthood!
I can understand since these guys have kids and they wanna be good role models for their family and all that psychological bull-crap (pardon my German). It's pretty much the same route that Eddie Murphy took. Now he is doing Disney cartoon/movie for goodness. He is "Mr. Fuck-you man" for Pete's sake!
So we get a very docile family comedy. There are some moments but it's all about being together and rediscovering the family life and love and togetherness and friendship and realizing what's important all the way in Sugar Sweetness Hell! Makes you wanna jump off the Empire State Building and hope to catch your eyelid on a nail!!
Now, it wasn't a total lost. Salma Hayek provided the sexiness and there were some comedy, just don't get your hopes to high up. So if you are into Jim Carrey, the Adam Sandler of old, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock or Robin Williams, this movie is going to bum you out. You will feel like you just took a sedative. So calm down, take the excitement down a couple of notches. Have a nice cup of hot tea next to you and some granola bars. Now you are ready.

What does a Chindian hate?
Just to give you some insights into the wondrous mechanism called the Chindian brain, I thought we start with what we normally hate. Why start with hate? Well....it's more fun. Isn't it? Did you really wanna know what we liked? If you do....next posting. Also since it's my blog, I will write what I want.
1. Utensil discrimination
Just because I look Malay, every time I am in a Chinese restaurant and order noodles, I will be given a fork. Hey man!! I know how to use the damn chopsticks! It's not exclusive to Chinese you know!! I know a lot of non-Chinese folks who know how to use the chopstick.
2. Correct utensils
I am very particular of food, table manners and using the right utensils. I get a little miffed when people use fork to eat noodles or fork and spoon for banana leaf rice or just fork to eat rice like how the mat sallehs eat. If you are not a foreigner, you gotta use the right utensils. Use your hands for banana leaf and chopsticks for noodles. Rice is eaten with a spoon, deal with it!
3. Racism
It's very disheartening to see racism in this day and age in a multi cultural country. I remember in the 70s and 80s, we didn't have that much of a problem and I had many Malay friends. Because of the rise in ultra-Islam and the Govt wanting to win votes in the Malay heartland, this has gone unchecked. We have leaders calling other races immigrants, when they themselves are such. We have school principals asking Chinese students to go back to China if they want to eat during fasting month. In school!! From teachers!! What hope is there for our future generations?
This is not isolated to Malays only. How many times have we Chinese and Indians dissed each other? A Chinese parent would rather run his tongue on the sewage than allow his daughter to marry an Indian or Malay man. Indian parents will be playing a Bollywood movie tragedy scene should their kids decide to marry out of race or even out of dialect. What a bunch of hypocrites and ignorant rat droppings. Me? I am ok for my kids to marry any race....as long it's with the opposite gender.
4. Mistaking me for Malay and then getting upset when I am not
I am not sure if you noticed but Malay folks are a very warm and hospitable bunch of people, more so with their own race. Which is more than I can say for other races, except the Punjabis. They always mistake me for a Malay and when they wish me peace in Arabic and I don't answer in Arabic, they get upset. Their warm smile disappears instantly!! More so during the fasting month of Ramadan. I get dirty looks during lunch and more than my fair share, I was refused service. Now during Ramadan, I eat pork. Come and get me sucker!!
5. Can't decide at a fast food restaurant
Tell me if this has happened to you. People who spend 2mins in a queue in a fast food restaurant, get to the counter and only then start deciding what they want!! And this is McDonald's or KFC. How deep in the jungle do you have to stay to not know what to order in McD's or KFC? The menu hasn't changed in 20 years for goodness sake. Then they start having conversations with their kids/friends/spouse/similar-cretin-friends. Totally oblivious of the queue. We need to have a law that allows other customers to carry tranquilizers and shoot a dart or two at these people.
6. Traffic light honkers
These are the folks who think that moving a few inches or saving a few milliseconds at the traffic light is going to give them eternal youth! The moment the light turns green, these honkers come out and start their stupid honking! Sorry but I need a few micro seconds for my hand to change gears and my feet to hit the accelerator.
These are the same cretins, when a car in the queue moves 6 inches, you need to move to. Failure to do so will result in honking and tailgating in a stationary position.
7. Motor bikers
Let me go on record to say I know a lot of bikers who are responsible and careful riders. The bikers I hate are those idiots who cut in and out of traffic, cut on the left side of the car, ride recklessly thinking they are invincible. I have no problems these idiots crashing into the back of truck and their brains spread all over the road like strawberry jam on toast. They only problem is that they create inconvenience to others. They may get innocent people hurt or at least the inconvenience of going to the police station and all those legal procedures. What we gotta do is to improve public transport, increase the number of buses and ban bikes below 500cc. If you want to travel, save to buy a car or take the bus.
8. Credit card/insurance sales people/telemarketers
These are the people who jump at everyone they see trying to get them to get a credit card that is free for life. You see them at the malls, bus-stations, retail outlets, etc. Ironically you don't see them at the bank. Nobody at the bank is selling you anything. That is the safest place to hide from them. It's like if you are a fugitive, the safest to hide from the police is at the police station.
These insurance people are the same. Calling you every weekend so that you can't use the reason of being in a meeting. But calling during my family time is going to just put me in a mood to spend money and time with a perfect stranger on the phone. I think a law should be passed where these people are subjected to telemarketing for 8 hours a day for 3 months and then have others follow them around for another 3 months and jumping out at them to get them to buys something.
9. Parsley
What the heck is the function of parsley on my meals??? Why do I want parsley on my steak, burger, noodles, fries, lasagna, spaghetti, etc. I once asked a chef and he said it's for fragrance and decoration! I told him, the next time you want to make my food smell nice and decorate it, use a sausage or a Fillet Mignon. Better still if you can, find some roast pork knuckle as decoration and I even love the smell!! Let's try that!
10. All that new age dieting
Only in a rich country do we hear people saying things like "Only eat green and vegetables. Red meat will clog your arteries and kill you. Fishes have mercury and just about every poultry is injected with growth hormones". What are we supposed to do for carbo and protein? Take supplements! That's the answer! Red meat won't kill you!! Green meat will. If you have the good fortune to be blessed to have the opportunity to eat steak, bite the hell out of that bitch!!!
Only in rich countries do you hear people being lactose intolerant. They have to take soy cause they are lactose intolerant. You think kids in Rwanda are lactose intolerant??!?!?! These kids eat tree barks and dirt! Life in dieting is about moderation. Don't stuff your face with meat EVERY meal! Diversify and add variety to your diet. And for those who like dieting, don't try to convert people to it! It's not a religion. If a person is not interested the first time, move on!
This is the first list of my dislikes. Next round, LIKES! If you have any dislikes of your own, drop me a note.
