Blog 3.9 The fantastic Mr.P

Fantastic Mr. Fox
I absolutely love this movie, but this movie isn't everyone's cup of tea. It's not like Toy Story 3. This movie is about a cunning fox outwitting the evil farmers. My post today is about the cunning Mr.P outwitting the evil ... Jaystin?! Since when did I become a bad man?

Evidence for why I am a good guy
"Good guys like me; donate blood - Giving the gift of life". That's right... my member number 7856XXX

Evidence for Mr.P the villain
"Bad men like Mr.P; donates chocolate cakes in my 'office' - Giving brownies". Believe it or not, a chocolate cake organisation exists! And yes, Mr.P is a proud member, no. 4521XXX

So two days after my second consecutive loss at FIFA11, Mr.P wanted to have another round of FIFA11. As curious as I was as concerning Mr.P's sudden craving for FIFA11;, I couldnt make it and Nat Chan came down with another mysterious rash appearing in an inconspicuous area of his body. He's been getting plenty of those lately. I am worried. Get well soon NC! ^__^v

So off three guys went to play FIFA11, Mr.P, El Vino and our resident victim, Vince Cake.

The next day results came in just like our recent state election.

Mr.P 2 - 1 El Vino
Mr.P 3 - 1 El Vino
Mr.P 1 - 3 El Vino
Mr.P 1 - 0 Vince Cake
Mr.P 4 - 0 Vince Cake

I can conclude that Mr.P has been undergoing intensive training to be able to beat El Vino who is currently FIFA11 ranked no.2 in Melbourne. I already suspected so because my last encounter against Mr.P, I felt like I was playing with someone else and not Mr.P.

I knew our conversation would be like one of those mentioned in my previous post, "lost in translation" but I just had to ask Mr.P

J: Hey Mr.P, so I heard about your scalping of El Vino

P: Uh huh

J: I heard you were feinting, rainbow kicking, bicycle kicking, dribbling, dunking and even diving. Looks like someone's been practising alot.

P: Noooooo... I haven't! The only times I play is when you guys come around.

J: :|

If you've played against the same person for a long time irrespective of any sport/game, you'll surely become familiar with their style. But Mr.P just changed overnight... it's like seeing Nat Chan with his slim cat-like body turning up the next day with a body like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fantastic!

Now why can't I just blossom like that?

Foodview 3.2 Hong Kong BBQ Restaurant, Footscray

I like how this restaurant name is so generic. I think I'd name my chinese restaurant, "Hyper Prosperous Lucky Restaurant 888". Anyways, my search for Melbourne's best 'dry thin egg noodles' continues! Today's contestant is in Footscray.

Located on the infamous street where there are more clearways than cars.... Barkly street! or it is Hopkins street?

Anel Bum told me about this place... its a couple of shops away from Melbourne's greatest Vietnamese Pork Roll Bun, Nhu Lan. (Introduced by Mr.P and will review it one day)

mmmmmm Looks good the meats... great advertising tool.

Argh! Reflections!

Its quite small inside. The chopsticks were sticky as. BRING WET WIPES!

Nice decor. See that tiny poster with girls on it... It's the Miss Melbourne Chinese Pageant 2010!

That lady is not a customer but she's filling up jugs of tea concentrate.

Like OH MY GOSH AWESOME SOUP! This is the second restaurant in Melbourne (first is Pacific house in Richmond) that serves soup made with real veggies and meat! Not the plain soup that is made from MSG. So hearty and yummy. I would have paid for a big bowl.

I would definite add 1 star for nice hot chinese tea.

Nyam, nyam, Crispy skin pork. So tender, so juicy, not so fatty. AAA+++

Portions are great for AUD9


Cant speak much for the noodles. Dry and sticking together. Thank goodness for the soup. Not alot of sauce again!

Doing something different as of today, no more stars but

Value : Under $10! No complaints!
Final comments : The only thing that let me down was the noodles.I will definitely recommend and come back myself but I will bring my own wet wipes to clean the utensils. But will continue my search for the perfect thin egg noodles served by a restaurant.

Blog 3.8 A glutten for punishment

So my rivalry with everyone's favourite rival©, Mr.P has been re-kindled. I've lost a few games and won a few games at Winning Eleven 9 (PS2 format) circa 2007 and to be honest I can't even remember them good ol' days and my rivalry/grudge/whatever you call it, in my mind, I thought I killed this insalubrious relationship with Mr.P, dead and buried along with my other past sins (excessive commenting, not going to the gym on my days off, illegal parking, etc).

But nooo, on Friday the 3rd, Mr.P poured hot oil over a burning flame. I was discussing with Milktea about a possible second international foodview, when I received a text from Mr.P and it read,

"Hey Unicorn, Guess what? I just bought a Perfect grade 1/60 scale Gundam Benchpress limited edition from Bandai. It comes with GN drive dumbbells. I want YOU to build it!"

OH my gosh, Gym + Gundam = heavenly ecstasy. I was at Mr.P's in 2 seconds and to my surprise, El Vino and Vince Cake were there.

Real name : El Vino
Occupation : Malaysian FIFA11 National champion
Notes : Moved to Melbourne to take down our Australian FIFA11 champion, Nat Chan.
Comments : "If Nat Chan got the footballs, he'd come right now and challenge me!"
Incidentally Nat Chan's reply : "Maybe I'm just not a man?"

Real name : Vince Cake
Occupation : Internationally acclaimed chinese chess player
Notes : Very popular with the ladies... girls would randomly come up to him buy him cake and say goodbye to him by planting a big, fat wet kiss on his silky smooth baby face.
I must note that he is a very traditional man, the only video games he had played is Windows Solitaire. He joined us that night claiming that "he will use his chinese chess skills to learn how to play and win in FIFA11 in 30 minutes". Yea, right.

I soon realised there was no gundam when I saw Mr.P grinning holding his PS3 controller... I had been duped into another round of FIFA11 with MR.P and he brought reinforcements.

"Oh, where is the intrepid Nat Chan?", I asked Mr.P

"He refused to come tonight, something about a 'suddenly developing rash appearing in an inconspicuous area'", Mr.P replied.

"No comment", I cringed.

Mr.P shrugged back at me.

So onto the results of FIFA11 .

1. Again we are playing on goal difference, winner takes all with the loser have to fork it out.

2. Handicaps (which I failed to mentioned in my last FIFA11 catastrophe... so I had +8 goals the last time... )
Vince Cake +10
Jaystin Unicorn +8
Mr.P +1
El Vino -2

My comments
Vince Cake should really started on +15 but El Vino was too afraid
Mr.P should have been on -1 and I refuse to give further comment
El Vino should have dropped more points to prove his superiority (and bragging rights) over Nat Chan.
As for me, I deservedly needed those 8 goals.


El Vino was vicious against Vince... Nat Chan couldn't even trash me 8-1.



I think this was my game against Vince


Wow psychedelic pitch!

Round 1 results. Its not that I don't want to put the score between El Vino and myself... I just cannot remember the result. He did trash me.

So at the end of the night
El Vino wins with 9
Mr.P with 8
Jaystin with 6
Vince Cake with -6

El Vino takes home a

With Vince paying for it. LOL. I am so lucky that he came along that night or it would have been two massive losses in a row. Mr.P could have gone easier on Vince Cake but then again, 128's are merciless people. El Vino should have dropped more points.

I am tired of losing to Mr.P and now have signed up for a secret FIFA11 training with a well-known FIFA11 player. I will be sure to kick some balls!. Stay tuned same bat channel and bat time.
