Kennys | Yummie Jamie!
Before I start talking about how Jamie will be so much more appreciated in Malaysia, I would like to get something off my chest.
There are two bloggers with the name Kenny in the Malaysian blogosphere (that I know of anyway).
One of them, is of course the famous Kenny Sia of kennysia.com.
The other is hteekay of hteekay.blogspot.com.
Understandably, if both bloggers posted comments as just plain ole “Kenny”, it would create a lot of confusion. Not to mention seeing as KennySia is the more famous “Kenny”, people would immediately think of him first.
So what hteekay did was to post comments under the moniker of “the other Kenny“.
As far as I know, KennySia has been posting as Kenny, but today, I saw a comment made by KennySia under the nick of “the actual Kenny“.
What got my grannypants into a twist is that, WHY THE NEED FOR THE USAGE OF THE WORD OTHER KENNY AND ACTUAL KENNY?
Who is to say that Kenny Sia is the original Kenny and has copyrighted his name whereas everyone else has to be contented with being known as the OTHER Kenny?
I know Kenny (who?
Sia la) has absolutely no control on how others like to nickname themselves, but I find it odd.
Got surname right? Use the surname to distinguish who is who la! What for need ‘the other kenny’, ‘the actual kenny’ , ‘the fake kenny’, ‘the kenny in KL’ or whatever to differentiate yourselves?!
And why should you settle for ‘the other kenny’? Like second prize like that only! If your name is Kenny Wong then just type Kenny Wongla! Kenny Sia and Kenny Wong. So much clearer and easier. Too many ‘the whatwhat kenny’ can get people confused, you know.
P/S - most of the post is directed towards the humbly-named ‘the other kenny’. If you’re fine with it, then you don’t have to change. Seeing as there are soooo many blogwars going around, I would like to declare that I DON’T WANT A BLOGWAR ON MY HANDS BECAUSE I AM EASILY TRAUMATISED. No need to flame me and say ‘why you so busybody? people name themselves what also you wanna care! nothing to do with you what!‘. I understand that. You also no need to flame me because this has nothing to do with you too and if you get so worked up over this, which is HARDLY controversial, then you have too much free time. Go do some charity work
I was watching Jamie’s School Dinner on Channel 11: Discovery Travel and Living (which is my favourite channel on Astro because there’s SO MANY yummy cooking-oriented programmes and luxury lifestyle shows that makes me vomit in envy) today. At almost the end of the episode, the show suddenly pans to this group of students PROTESTING against Jamie coming to their school to revamp the dinner menus.
They were holding A4 sized plain paper which has a no-entry Jamie sign on it and some other ‘creative’ homemade protest placards. Oh yeah, they were also walking around chanting ‘go away, Jamie Oliver’ repeat ad infinitum.
Oh the shock! The disbelief! The blasphemy! The outrage! The NERVE!
THEY ACTUALLY DON’T WANT TO EAT JAMIE’S FOOD! WHICH IS PROVIDED FOR FREE!
I’m still in disbelief! This is Jamie Oliver man! Even Bill Clinton patronises his restaurant!
AND THE KIDS HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SHOW THIS TYPE OF “WELCOME” TO HIM!
*faints*
If a world-class chef is volunteering to come to my college, re-educate the cooks on what constitutes as healthy food and how to make them tastier, get the school board to cut down on processed (or reconstituted meat, as Jamie succintly puts it) and make my life a whole lot more healthier as a whole, I’D ROLL OUT THE BLOODY DAMNED RED CARPET!
*sigh*
Those kids. So lucky yet they don’t know it.
They can keep their lousy dry burgers (no match for Ramly
) and turkey twizzlers and whatnots man. COME TO MALAYSIA, JAMIE!
Hahahah.
Throughout the show, my dad kept making VERY pointed remarks about me and my long standing love-hate relationship with Ramly Burger. But they are sooo damn delicious (and unhealthy, yes I know)! But of course, if I know anyone who has the cooking calibre of Jamie Oliver, I’d gladly give up Ramly

Some mates of mine had the chance to dine (after a month on the waiting list) in his Fifteen restaurant and I was told it wasn’t that awesome. Still 15 is being run by teenagers whom he trained (also a telly programme called Jamie’s Kitchen) some 3 years ago.

Great mind ou got there. Of course it would be easier just to put surname there, (it’s Kenny Ho btw) but that’s just plain isn’t it? XD
