The Four

KH was not free on Sunday, so after mass, mum and I went to watch "The Four" at Paradigm Mall. Had half an hour to eat lunch at Tea Garden. Chose that place because the rest were quite full. But there was a reason for that-- it sucked. Lousy service (the waiter, a supervisor mind you, confirmed the order by re-reading the item numbers to me, like I know them by heart). Flies. The cheese-baked rice was cold on the inside and the chicken hor fun was salty. And the teh c that I ordered was only at 85% capacity, the same as the last time I ordered. Looks like that's their standard. So stingy, dahlah their cups were thicker than normal. We were a bit late getting into the cinema, so missed a bit of the starting. Fancy camera work, with the camera shots very narrow and with a very short attention span. =_=". Not a bad movie, but perhaps I'm more forgiving because KH told me about its horrible reviews. In the movie, Liu YiFei (played the annoying Yu Ji in "White Vengeance") plays Emotionless, a character that strives to be a rojak X-man-- Professor X (wheelchair-bound, reads minds) + Rogue (gloved hands) + Jean Grey (telekinesis) + Gambit (projectiles). The bad guy in the movie, An Shi Geng, reminded me of The Magician in "Reign of Assassins" with fire play. So many borrowed ideas. Collin Chou also acted in the movie. You might remember him as Seraph from "The Matrix: Reloaded". Very much the brawns in the movie. A hunky but 2D blacksmith. Heard that he's one of us.

After the movie, downed a cup of Ochado's 3Q Passionate Tea. Next up was mum's massage appointment at Reborn, IOI Boulevard. Rushed over there. SK was free so I picked her up and she went for grocery shopping at a Chinese medicine hall in Puchong Jaya. While waiting for mum to finish, we had tau fu fah at Snowflake. Think the roadside variety's much smoother. Dinner was at Khun Thai, a Thai restaurant hidden in a housing estate in old PJ. Halal, but bustling with customers. At 6:00pm, we thought we were early, but people were already there eating. Due to some windfall, SK treated mum and I dinner that night-- BBQ crab (Restoran Stadium Negara is still the champion), green curry (thick and yummy gravy with lotsa meat), mango salad (they should go easy on the sugar) and steamed sole fish in lemon sauce (came in a charcoal steamer!). Food quality and price was quite a match. No complaints. Concluded dinner with a red ruby dessert. Crunchy chestnut rubies and the sweetness was controlled. Thumbs up. One table managed to complain their way from two tables outside into the air-conditioned section where all the tables were reserved. I suspected that her bitchy mouth attracted the flies in the first place.

chop, chop, chop

cool it

Later that evening, SK and I had a yumcha session with KH at Share Tea. The bubble tea company had a strong presence in Pink Dot 2012 cause they hired ripped SG boys as promoters with the words "SHARE TEA" stenciled across their chest and abs. Yummy. Tried their handmade (whatever that means) yam milk. Quite different. Being the only one's there, we had the whole place to ourselves and could talk freely. And naturally this encouraged KH's hand and lips to roam... Made the tea taste so much better. :P
