Goo Goo Gaa Gaa
I was scouting round the CBD for Jamie Oliver In Oliver’s Twist Season 2 DVDs; but there weren’t any on sale at HMV, JB-Hifi, Virgin Music Store, Sanity and Borders. It was pretty disappointing because I was hoping to carry that along with me back to Malaysia so I’ll be endlessly inspired to cook wonderful unique dishes for my family.
I noticed a little problem with words when it comes to me talking with the locals. I startle. Sometimes gibberish. Often a murmur. I don’t know why. Apparently I’m not the only one in this. This problem is “seasonal”, as Blazecat cleverly puts it.
At the Virgin Music Store,
Darryl: Hey, how’s it going?
Pretty Customer Assistant: Good; and yourself?
Darryl: I’m great. Can you er… please… errr… do a look–up fo- me? (murmuring)
Pretty Customer Assistant: Sure. What are you after?
Darryl: (surprised she understood what I was asking) Are there… any Jamie Oliver DVDs erm… in… er… on store? (noticed a little perspiration)
Pretty Customer Assistant: I’ll look it up for you.
It’s strange - not because I was nervous talking to this hot-looking babe. After all I was their customer.
Perhaps I’m articulexic (articulation + dyslexia).
Jamie Oliver? Hmm.. might be hard to cook his stuffs in Msia provided those ingredients are readily available. Oh yeah, bring few blocks of cheese you are planning to cook western food.. =)

Jamie Oliver is my inspirational character when it comes to cooking. I don’t and sometimes can’t follow his recipes. It’s his “trial-and-error” attitude that inspires me to cook dishes of my own.

When come to cooking, I always invent my own “style”.. hahha… I never follow any recipe :P
Btw, when I read the abbreviation CBD ~ what comes to my mine is some medical related word like Common Bile Duct and Continuous Bladder Drainage… Hahhaha….

CBD = Central Business District
Example: Brisbane CBD, Melbourne CBD, Sydney CBD and Perth Village. :p
It just means “city”.
