So as it turns out, I was unanimously (and unwillingly) voted secretary of the Makan Club. I was of course distressed as this means I have been put in the superboring position of
1. Taking attendance
2. Writing minutes (eh seriously la,I never paid attention in English class back in high school when we were being taught how to write minutes so if my minutes suck, YOU ALL HAD BETTER NOT COMPLAIN BECAUSE I WILL RESIGN AND YOU WILL BE FORCED TO HAVE THE CLUB BOZO BECOME YOUR NEW SECRETARY AND I WOULDN'T WISH THAT ON ANYONE - EVEN THE SWIMMING CLUB)
The role of the Club Bozo is take on all unwanted and temporarily vacated positions should the situation arise. Example, IF YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT MY MINUTES, I WILL RESIGN AND YOU WILL BE FORCED TO HAVE THE CLUB BOZO BECOME YOUR NEW SECRETARY AND I WOULDN'T WISH THAT ON ANYONE - EVEN THE SWIMMING CLUB.
3. Remembering what everyone ate. (which is darn hard la, firstly, because there are always more plates than there are people - we are not called the makanclub for nothing. If that isn't hard enough, I have to remember what some of you tapau-ed back for the members who couldn't make it for the meeting.) So for the sake of my rudimentary brain space, please order and tapau things which are easy to remember like say, naan or eggs. Please, for crying out loud don't go order something that sounds like wantanmeelailiuha because that would be an obvious burden on me. I believe somewhat in the theory of displacement - meaning everytime I remember something new, something else leaves and lodges itself in some deep-seated, unaccounted for space in what is probably not so important to the rest of you but is to me and my future patients - MY BRAIN. Can you even begin to imagine how many names of food would've accumulated in my brain in place of CVS, respi, haemato, GI and the lot by the end of this year?
"Which hormones are essential in the development of the male and female genital tract and where are they found?"
Tandoori Chicken which is found in the anterior MurniSS2 gland.
You see, the thing about this theory of displacement is that it sneaks up on you and makes you believe that the displacement never happened. Yes my friends, the brain is a very sneaky, cunning organ. It covers up all evidence of the displacement, and you start believing that Testosterone is actually Tandoori Chicken and things like that.
Now that it's all off my chest, I shall proceed to write the minutes of our 3rd meeting.
Members in attendance : Shangari Anu Christine Se Yin Su Chuen William Li Yeen Steph Nana
Venue : Murni SS2
Time of commencement : 8.15 (approximate guess because I obviously didn't check the time the first person started eating)
What was ordered : Tandoori Chicken Tomyam Claypot Loshifun Roti Hawaii Bombay Naan Cheese Naan Nasi Lemak Spaghette Bolognaise Ribena Special Mango Special Ais kosong
What was tapau-ed : Ribena special and don'tknowwhat naan
Time meeting was adjourned : 10 pm (approximate guess)
Camera woman of the night : Nana
On behalf of the president, I would like to thank Suet May for being courteous enough to send a letter of apology stating her reasons for not attending our meeting yesterday night. Her actions are very commended and it would serve well for the rest of you to follow suit in the future.
That is all. This is your secretary signing off. Till next week.
Su Chuen (pretend this is a signature)
CHIAM SU CHUEN

Murni VS Mummy
As I stepped into my house today, I should have sensed something wrong but I guess my usually tip-top instincts was blunted by whiffs of .... Mummy's Curry Chicken!!! So I tell myself, just one more hour or so and I'll be enjoying myself at Murni's(SS2) with the Makan Club. I kept drumming myself with *Murni's*Makan Club*Murni's*Makan Club (608X)* to better equip myself in withstanding Mummy's Curry Chicken.
That is, until Wati(my maid) starts taking out the cutlery and arranges the plates of hot-steaming-sizzling-make-you-high rice. You know Stomp, The Musical? Exactly! First it starts subtlely, the smell. Then comes the 'thud thud' of the plates on the table. Next, throw in 'Chiang Chiang Chiang' of forks and spoons and it doesn't stop there. The smell of steaming white rice and my Mom's voice "Aiya, eat a bitla...It's not everyday I cook curry chicken. Just a bit then you go makan with your friendsla". 'BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM'
I find myself strangely unable to resist any longer and my gobbling mechanism kicked in. It was at this moment I was most vulnerable and it was at this moment, unseen hands must have tambah nasi for me. This is the result of not being able to resist the creamy, curry chicken Mummy rarely cooks. You get sucked into a Must-make-daughter-stay-at-home-and-eat-my-food conspiracy."AAAAAHHHHH" Sadly, it was too late when I realised the space designated for garlic naan and that cool nata de coco drink was invaded by curry chicken.
Sigh...Thousand apologies to the girls whom I couldn't join tonight but this is what happens when you have more stomach than brains.

Welcome to the very first edition of the Gobble Gazette!
Greetings, my fellow gobblers. It brings me great joy to be typing the very first post in our virtual newsletter (THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO CREATE, MS PRESIDENT!!) as I sit here in the comforts of my own home, in my pyjamas, no less. The creation of the Gobble Gazette signifies the beginning of a great future (food-wise) and I certainly look forward to our next Makan Club outing. Having said all that, the Makan Club is still esentially a club and what is a club without a set of stringent rules and regulations that nobody will adhere to? The swimming club, that's what we would be - which we are not. (No offense to the swimming club. That was only directed towards Steph because she doesn't want to have kids.)
Back to my point. This is a rough draft of the Makan Club rules and regulations. (the main commitee reserve the right to change, retract and break any rule we want to because we are the main committee. Deal with it.)
1. Must love food.
That pretty much sums up the rules and regulations set by the committee at this point of time.
For the time being only 2 posts have been created. At our next general meeting, we will be having an eating competition to determine the people who will be holding all the other positions. Just to brief all of you on the way we handle our biannual General meetings - positions of power are NOT, I repeat NOT, created by democratic votes, but by the amount of food which you can consume. The person who can consume the most will naturally get the highest post (president) and so on and so forth. For all intents and purposes, the rules of election will not apply to Suet May because let's face it, she would be president forever and ever if we follow the current system of election which is based on the person who can consume the largest amount of food.
As was mentioned earlier, we have only agreed on 2 positions so far and they are
Club President : Li Yeen
Club Bozo : Wen Hao
*clap clap*
These people will serve the Makan Club for a duration of 1 semester afterwhich another general election (ie. eating competition) will be held to choose the new committee.
A quick update on the places we have deemed worthy of our presence so far :
Week 1 : Steamboat place in Puchong (I forget the name.)
Week 2 : Backalley coffeeshop in Jalan Raja Laut (it has no name)
Week 3 : Currently in debate (between Murni in SS2 and some naan place in KL)
Till our next Makan Outing.
