Something to laugh the new year off **Prerequisite: Command of the Mandarin language**

Long before our time in the Eastern Province of China,
A guy went to cave to search for treasure,
the cave was dark, damp and slippery,
He fell down, and discovered a book entitled 武功秘笈
He opened the book and written on the first page is
"欲练此功,必须自宫“
translation : the reader who wants to master this kung fu has to make himself a eunuc

Hence this guy thought ,since he didn't achieve anything in life, why not learn the ultimate kungfu and serve the society justice, since China back then was ruled by tyrants.

So this guy 自宫,
After 3 months of pain, the wound healed
Then continuing to the second page,
2nd page wrote another 8 words
“如果自宫,未必成功”
Translation : Success will not necessarily be attained despite being an eunuch.

So this guy ponders again even there is no guarunttee, there still is possibility he might succeed.

Moving to the 3rd step, he turns to 3rd page,
Same as previous, 8 words were written on the it:
"如不自宫,也能成功“
Translation : Success can still be attained even if you are not an eunuch.

Upon reading this last 8 words, well I would say the last 8 in his life, he suffered a heart attact and snuffed it.

End of story
SFX: Claps Claps.

Ok, as far as the story goes, there's a dish/food which closely resembles this story. Can you guess what it is?

Its something really ordinary that you can get anywhere in Malaysia.
