yeah its expensive but the good thing is that they can build the cabinets/joysticks/buttons brand new so they will last a long time and im still considering buying some more stuff like i mentioned i want to get DDR and Pinball and maybe some others they have a huge catalog and i still have to check out all the other games they have

 

[mrfatso]

so, everyday is gona be video game day at your basement?

 

[syko5150]

haha yeah im going to add a ping pong table and pool table as well =D then put a bar in the corner so i can get easy access alcohol while playing games haha

 

[mrfatso]

Haha, and what's next, hire a band and turn your basement into a fully functioning pub as a side business?

 

[syko5150]

ahaha nope im too greedy to let strangers in my home =P haha

 

[mrfatso]

haha, that's what she says

Maybe if in the distant future, if any of us ever goes to japan, we have to make sure that we visit your "pub"

 

[syko5150]

yeah that would be fine but not if you all come in a tour bus ahaha

 

[mrfatso]

Haha, of cos we would be coming by buses

At the very least, a plane worth should do it

Anyway, i was out helping pika looking for her stuff and i saw this snack shop with a pretty plain name, the place was called uncle tibit, but in there, i could see my childhood flashing past my eyes. All those sweets that were no longer sold at my neighbourhood stores, i could find them here.

Even that cheap packet of chocolate, and it does bring back good old memories, especially i remember eating chocolated bear biscuit with my dad when i was 2 years old and my brother was being born next door.

So, what were your recent childhood memories that resurfaced?

 

[elixirdream]

after being taken down by body heaty, fever and sorethroat for 4 days
i am back...
now 100% but at least 60%

hip hip hooooooooRAY!!!

anyway talking about snack? do you guys have those donut shops?
i remember malaysians acted like they never had donut before
they queue for it..
but today.... there isn't any queue anymore

 

[iPikachu]

today i went white sands challenger see bamboo fun, but so big.. haiz

wait was that the whole set? since i only need the pen.. orz

i guess next time i try sim lim square ask that store if got sell pen only

 

[mrfatso]

ya, that was the whole set.

@elixir: if u meant those donut empire/ shop that sells only donut to the point where sooner or later, i can foresee a chicken rice donut on the menu, then yes we do have that, taiwan also have those.

By the way, speaking of donut shop, do u guys still have those coffee bun shops or have they been wiped off the malaysia map?

and welcome back, just return to spam those fruits

 

[elixirdream]

i know taiwan have those donut shop
but malaysians was acting like some kampung kid
came out from no where and donut was like the first thing they ever seen in their life
long queue... paid handsomely for some not so nice yet undersize donut

TOO SWEET... what a shame

guess what happens to these shops
they are now the new official flies collector

coffee bun shops? never heard of ....

 

[mrfatso]

coffee bun are those bun where i think they sprinkle coffee powder on the bread and inside the dough, is a chunk of butter and then it's baked at a high temperature. So, the end product is a brown bread with lots of butter inside.

Not very nice in my own opinion though. It just smells nice, but taste pretty bland.

That's just sad, they don even know the simple joy of a regular sugared donut :|

 

[redact]

it tastes bland because you forgot to put jam in it

cut it in half and whip out that there strawberry jam

 

[Deleted User]

mercluke, have you ever tried this? Looks nasty.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite

 

[mrfatso]

it tastes bland because you forgot to put jam in it

cut it in half and whip out that there strawberry jam

true, but i rather eat it as soon as it has been baked, at least that wouldnt be that bad for a while.

But i think peanut butter will be better, everything taste better with peanut butter

esp the chucky version

 

[redact]

vegemite is great if you know the exact bread:butter:vegemite ratio
as bread slices are all different, it can never be taught. you truly master it on your own
if you get this ratio even slightly wrong, it will taste like shit

that my son is why the silly americans can never like it, ever

recently a concoction known as "cheesybite" (formerly named iSuck2.0) was created using cheese in place of butter and is available as a pre-mixed alternative to help noobs that can't get the ratio right but the original (when used correctly) will always be far superior..

pro-tip: i am directly related to the inventor (Fred Walker)
can't remember which but it's either my nanna (on mum's side) 's father or her grandfather...

 

[mrfatso]

cool, so any benefits to that?

heh, well, at least now i know another person who is related to something popular/known.

the other person would be a classmate of mine whom apparently is a grandchild of the creator of neopet, not sure if this is true or not, though

 

[redact]

no benifits
not even free Vegemite

 

[syko5150]

well apparently all of my furniture should be arriving tomorrow so tomorrow will be another busy day for me =/
