Seeing Suzy

Image
Sis and BIL was off to Korea for a business trip so the kids were in our care again. Early in the morning, they had already eaten some fried noodles that my mum prepared. And when we went out to have breakfast, they had their second round of wantan noodles. Also had lunch nearby. Shared some mixed rice and CKT. At around 2:00 pm, SK came over to fetch us to Kuchai Lama. KH had actually bought tickets to "Let's Rock: The Musical" over Groupon. The original plan was for me to bring my mum, and he would bring his mum ( quite a situation hor? ). But since mum suddenly had to babysit, I let mum go with a friend instead. It was a musical based on the famous 80s band "The Winners". Never noticed that there was a Mega Star Arena beside the Kuchai Lama KFC. Turns out it houses the South Gate Church as well. Quite hidden. After dropping mum, SK and I went to KFC to tapau lunch. Little Monster fell asleep on the back seat cushion, so we drove home. The kid got up before

Eat >> Exercise

Image
The usual Sunday routine. I'm sure my regular readers can guess what I did. Been in ages since I ate at Lammeeya , so I suddenly wanted to eat there. Horrible. Don't think I will be going back there. My loh yee mee was so chewy. The thick gravy was lukewarm and it just made the whole meal feel a tad too disgusting. Blegh. Mum ajak -ed me for cendol after that. But Teochew Chendul is forever crowded, so we tapau -ed. Brought it all the way to Cielo Dolci on the opposite end of Paradigm Mall. Ordered a mini cup of passion fruit yoghurt and S'mores and secretly ate it all there. Such an uncommon combination. Haha. At least we could have dessert in peace. Back home, I tried to burn off dessert by doing some workout routines in my room. Some interesting moves in Men's Health's Spartacus workout. Worked up a sweat, and felt a bit of burn in my muscles. Obviously that wasn't enough to chisel my body. Plus, the heavy dinner at MaisonSK later that night didn

Wet Market, Dry Taps

Image
It was a wet day at the market. Ironically, the taps were dry. Breakfast was at Kopitan Classic and it was horribly disappointing. My dry noodles were too soft and sickly sweet. And mum's curry noodles were too watery. Disposable utensils and paper cups were used because they had no water to do the dishes. Worst of all, the had even less water for the loos. Shit was left stranded in the bowls awaiting their saviour in two days time. Lovely. Finally managed to catch hold of my stylist for a haircut. But had to loiter a bit as the only slot he had was at noon. Got an extreme undercut in a last ditch effort to achieve the illusion of a slimmer face. XD. Since we had noodles for breakfast, mum suggested rice for lunch. Finally tried the famous siew yuk rice at Kedai Makan Mooi Mooi . Had an old world feel to it with the old wooden chairs and run-down look. Our bill was MYR13 for a plate of roast chicken rice and a plate of roast pork rice. Mahalz . The chicken was average but the s

Get the Reeds

After a fortnight of going for English mass, we finally went back to the Mandarin session. Years and years of irritation later, the church finally built a 'family room' for parishioners with pesky kids. Realising that one can never expect kids to behave and sit still, it's easier to take them out of the 'equation'. Basically they cordoned off one corner with sound-proof glass and expect all the noisy children to be herded in there. But then, not everyone likes to sit in a 'fishbowl', so many parents still end up sitting outside. And the parents are usually too optimistic about how long their children will fidget or wail. Not many will immediately drag their kids out. When this happens, one can see the priest pause a while letting patience wash over him. LOL. Went to Kota Damansara after mass. Remember the aroma diffuser that KH got the day before? He forgot to take the reeds. So off I went to The Strand again. Quite a challenge deciding what to eat over t

Burning Wood?

Image
Woke up bright and early on Saturday morning to go marketing again. Lesser traffic due to Ching Ming perhaps. And several unoccupied lots in the market, something that rarely happens. Ate my favourite clear soup noodles at OUG then went home. With some time to kill before my coffee date with KH, I did some car interior maintenance, making it all bright and shiny again. At around noon, I went off to fetch him. As luck would have it, Waze was down and we couldn't navigate our way to Wood & Steel at Kota Damansara. While KH fiddled with his phone trying to figure things out, I just went on auto-pilot trying to retrace my steps back to the cafe. In the end, I used Google Maps when I was already in the Kota Damansara area. My boyfriend is truly hopeless when it comes to navigating. Never fails to rile me. As SK was in Tropicana visiting Lifebook, she decided to come over as well. But the temporary death of of the Waze service left her 'dead on the road' as well. And Googl

Sharks Fin Sunday

Image
Swiped from NinjaHelloKitty/Ivan @ Flickr Note: Not sure how many people will send me hate mail after reading this, but the first person to roll his eyes would be KH. He doesn't eat sharks fin soup! The last time I attended a wedding lunch was in USJ City Mall for my lawyer's marriage. This time round it was my ex-colleague. At Noble Banquet . Quite a difficult timing for a Sunday. Had to attend English mass in order to make it, but still the timing was neither here nor there. Killed some time at Scott Garden. Got my caffeine fix at Starbucks since I was groggy from interrupted sleep ( damn power keeps tripping in the middle of the night ). After finishing a latte and a pastry, mum and I went to Tesco. As luck would have it, she found a kiosk doing dead skin removal for feet. Immediately sat down and did the 45 minute treatment. Nasty business, but mum was happy with the results. By the time it was done, it was already 12:15 pm. Just about right. Dropped mum off at the

Chinese Worms, Chinese Laughs & Chinese Sauna

Overslept a bit on Saturday morning. Was supposed to get up earlier to go to the market. Didn't really matter, not like I had to bersolek . Just had t skip my morning stretches and breakfast beverage. Mum actually found most of what she needed at Jalan Hujan Emas 8 market. We had breakfast there too. A simple bowl of soup noodles. Amazed that it was only MYR3.80. Although we nearly got everything we needed, it was customary to still go to the main market over at Jalan Hujan Emas 5. Canvassed a few Chinese medicine halls to source for some cordyceps. Obscene is the only way I can describe the price of that fungus. Tibetan cordyceps were selling at MYR1,000/tael. One tael is about 37.5gm. We bought the cheaper alternatives from China. Back home, I waited for the air-conditioning guy to service the air-conditioner in my mum's room. Zero maintenance since the day we bought it. LOL. Never realized that it was so troublesome. They practically dismantled the whole thing. It would ha

Hopeless Hanare

Image
Bright and early on Sunday morning, I attended English mass. It was actually my duty with the Mandarin hospitality ministry again that week but I had to skip it again because KH had planned a Japanese buffet gathering at Hanare , The Intermark. Our curiosity was piqued during our lunch there some weeks ago hoping that the quality we got from ala carte was reproduced in their buffet. At MYR148++, we had high expectations for air-flown seafood. Come D-Day, we arrived at about noon. A whole bunch of people were already standing out front waiting to be seated. Since SK's granny was with us, the staff let us cut the queue and led us to the private room since we were a party of six. Did a preliminary sweep of the buffet and I must say that it was a quickie! Not that much at all! Ugh. There were three types of fish sashimi-- salmon, tuna and hamachi. On top of that was calamari and shrimp. Raw oysters were also available, but the ice mound was hardly half full with the small oysters. Ot

Get-Film Star I: Haruto

Image
When I first saw Haruto, I wasn't impressed by his looks. Typical gangly and twinky porn star. Long-ish hair, lean, high nose and sleepy eyes. And yeah, his dick is 'gangly' too! But what attracted me was his bareback videos and his super cumshots! That boy really makes a hell of a protein shake in bed. In one scene where has jerked off in a van, the fella actually spurted eight times, with the furthest shot reaching his chin and shortest reaching mid-abs. And its not just a few drops, it was long, thick spurts! Amazing. Distance and volume together. That's boy's gonads were made for the milking farm or the Sex Olympics. And he's a messy shooter too. When he tries pull up his shirt or tries to avoid spoiling his schoolboy blazer, it still ends up all over the place, giving business to the dry cleaning lady. Huhu. So if you're interested in seeing this cute uke in action, go download the following: 1) [Get Film] Virtual Paradise HARUTO 2) [Get Film] T

Do Air Stewardesses Make Good Tenants?

Image
Swiped from Totoro -David D. @ Flickr My tenants finally moved out last month and I have yet to secure someone to take over the place. Engaged my old real estate negotiator early in 2014, but she didn't come up with any leads. Sick and tired of waiting, I got another agency in the picture. A house viewing was arranged the following week. Finally I was getting some where. Gave the agent the keys and let him settle things. Late one Friday night, the agent gives me a call and tells me that a pair of air stewardesses are interested. Immediate move in. But there was a 'little' request. They wanted the old rental price ( although my place was upgraded to partially-furnished with the major home appliances ) and they wanted two dressing tables. Make-up is really important to air stewardesses. I wasn't going to budge on the price but I would consider the furniture request. Actually made a trip to several nearby furniture shops to hunt for the cheapest of the cheap. LOL. How

Birthday Monday

Image
KH's birthday was on Monday and it's really a rare occasion that I celebrate it with him on the actual day. Went over to Mediteca to have lunch with him. And SK was nice enough to join since it was her day off. Sad to say that the lunch set looks a bit sad now. Smaller portions on large plates. Just... looks... a... bit... pathetic. Gave KH a mini birthday present as he still in the midst of ordering his main gift off Lazada. He wanted a tablet to read comics. Last Friday, we went to Plaza Low Yatt to do a little tablet survey. Decided upon the Asus MemoPad8. Cheaper to buy it online though. Stopped at KopiClub after that, in the Low Yatt basement food court. Tried something really weird-- Kopi Soyacino Ping. LOL. Kopi Ping with soya bean and cincau. LOL. Weird. Back to Monday! The mini gift was a Lamy Swift Anthracite rollerball pen. More for his new job actually, something I hope he would use at work and remind him of me ( but not as a pencil dick! ). Also gave him a card

The Journey

Image
Two local films were released at the same time during CNY with very different results. One was "Ah Beng: Mission Impossible" that grossed about MYR4mil without much contribution to society ( they still haven't grown tired of the character Ah Beng, even Sacha Baron Cohen knows to spew out different characters ). The other was "The Journey" and is the #1 top-grossing Malaysian film of all time, grossing MYR15mil at the time of writing ( thanks to Apollo who watched it thrice ). The story is pretty simple, a woman comes home to Cameron Highlands after spending years and years in the United Kingdom to get her father's blessing for her marriage to an ang moh . To make the story interesting, the father figure is obstinate and the couple bow to his request for a proper Chinese wedding banquet. That propels the story into a cross-country journey where the dad goes on a road trip with his future son-in-law to deliver wedding invitations. This set the scene for cult

Waterless Market

Image
Seems like weeks since I visited the OUG wet market. Some changes had taken place-- the parking at the multi-level car park is no longer a flat rate of MYR2 and a new covered market had opened nearby housing some butchers and spice merchants. Heard that OUG was stricken with water rationing so we decided not to eat breakfast there. Should be quite bad really. When I was at one of the neighbourhood Chinese medicine halls looking for toilet cleaner: Moi: Mana itu cecair cuci tandas? Staff: Tandas? Tandas takde air. Takde! Takde! There was a gathering at MaisonSK that night and the proximity of it to KH's birthday prompted me to order a birthday cake from ~Alex~. Since KH was having a red velvet craze of late, I got him the French version, a red velvet entremet. Picked it up from his home, then had breakfast at Goon Wah in Kuchai Lama. The waitress was a bit pushy, ending up ordering a little too much for two. From there, I drove to the Poslaju centre in Balakong to pick up a

Shopping Celebrities: FOS Frank & Empire Ed

Image
I know I've been slacking in this department, so here are some pics from the CNY season. LOL. Better late than never. The first guy is FOS Frank . As the name suggests, he works at FOS. Avenue K to be exact. Not sure if he's still there though. The last I was there was to buy some peach-coloured shorts for KH and I. He was the trainee cashier who punched in my items. So innocent looking right with his slitty eyes? And just look at his button badge. I'm sure many would need help from him. Second guy is Empire Ed. He was manning the life-like clay sculpture stall at Empire Subang. Think people were more interested with other more traditional stalls during the CNY season. Nice pouty lips kan ? And the way his bangs fall across his face. Can imagine a scene where you brush away his hair before kissing him. LOL. Keep your fingers crossed. More to come!
