Newsflash : Jay Got Stoned

So we all trotted down to Renaissance last Saturday to celebrate Se Yin's (and her sister's) coming of age. In true MakanClub fashion, we created quite the ruckus in Temptations that night, as I'm sure the many other patrons there who were looking forward to a quiet dinner can attest to. Some of the highlights (among others) of the night were

1) Discovering that I am the QUEEN of de-shelling lobsters.

2) Jay the once-normal-but-obviously-mutated Cow has 8 stomachs as opposed to the 4 we all thought he (and all other normal cows) had.

3) Chocolate fountains are the devil. It makes the girls fat and reduces the guys to giggly 5 year old girls.

Case in point :

Me : Omg, the chocolate fountain looks so tempting. I think I'm gonna get myself more choco goodies. Wanna go?
Steph : I'm full, no thanks. I like salad. (because Steph is the only girl I know who makes a beeline for the salad bar whenever confronted with large scale buffets serving lamb,beef,sashimi and fountains (ok fine, one fountain) of chocolatey goodness. Ok la, she did eat all the other stuff but seriously, I totally ignore salad bars whenever I go for buffets as I'm sure everybody else does. Right?)
Me : Do you think anybody would ever stand by the chocolate fountain, continuously dipping their stuff in until they're satisfied just to save multiple trips to the fountain of chocolatey goodness?
Steph : haha I don't think anybody would wanna embarass themselves that bad.
Me : haha yeah you're probably right. Omg, what would you do if you saw somebody not only hogging the chocolate fountain but dipping his/her stuff in after every bite?
Steph : Ew GROSS!! See, that is why I never eat lok-lok.
Kenn : *comes back to table laughing*
Me and Steph : What's up?
Kenn : Check out the chocolate fountain.
Me and Steph : *looks in that direction to find Wai Ming and Jay giggling by the chocolate fountain doing what we were just discussing *
(In their defense, they weren't dipping their sticks in after every bite for you know, universal precaution. Dr FA would've been so proud. )

After stuffing ourselves silly, we somehow managed to waddle our way (in cars of course) to 7ate9 at the Ascott. Nice place, that. The highlight of our little visit to this place, was as you were probably expecting, the reason for the title of this post. It was a wonderful night all in all. The food was good,

the company awesome, and we all came back with sweet memories of a great night out.

I thus end this post with a picture of my good friend, Jay. Stoned. This, my friends, is the funniest thing since Fatimah came back.




ps. He wasn't really drunk la. This was just an accidental shot he took while attempting to show ChunPeng how the red eye reduction feature in his camera works. And it evidently does, very well indeed. Only thing it makes you look super stoned in the process. :P Don't kill me, Jay! Not that it would matter to you because you're obviously going to take this very well but Steph was the one who brought my attention to this picture so er, if anything you should get back at her too. Sorry girl, I had to bring somebody down with me.

MAKAN CLUB ALERT (An Attempt to Reactivate)

HEllo!!!!

peepps... hahah i wonder if anyone will ever drop by here. and read this. but i just tot of a post CNS chillout session. yes, you read it right. i know abit the fast to think abt that rite.. i am aware that i hv my notes to worry about more. :P

hahah, but just for the sake of anyone like me who DO pop by online every now and then (computers are horrible distractions to me).. this place looks like a really nice place to chillout.. The Ascott KL- 7atenine. mm.. proposed time abt 9pm /after dinner. (opposite Mandarin Oriental KL).

ANYONE up for it? :D

Since the Gobble Gazette has been temporarily inactivated

because nobody's interested in eating anymore (not your fault, ms president. don't worry, my promise of not dethroning you still stands. You know how busy everyone is what with EOS coming up and everything), allow me to bring a little life into our pathetic EOS5-ridden lives by doing what I do best. Telling jokes that are so funny it has a sensory afferent nerve (LaJ nerve) of its own. With conduction speeds of up to 100km/s, it is no wonder that scientists are hailing this as one of their biggest discoveries since peanut butter. What's interesting is that there was found to be genetic variations with regards to the speed of conduction from individual to individual. This explains why certain people take longer to get a joke as is evident by the very hilarious joke I have aptly named "Fatimah Came Back".

"Fatimah Came Back" has recently been named as the most effective confirmatory test for LaJ sensory nerve dysfunction. However, the "Charsiewpaumaggimee Test" is still widely accepted as an adequate screening test. The table below can be used as a means to evaluate patients with suspected LaJ nerve dysfunction. The times listed are with reference to the times taken for patient to respond (with laughter) AFTER successful completion of "Fatimah Came Back".

0-2 minutes Excellent
2-5 minutes Good
5-10 minutes Slow. Repeat test again in 6 months.

10 minutes and above : Upper motor neuron lesion
20 minutes and above : Brain dead

Lina, you are my hero.
