Interview

Image
Thirteen years at the same company-- not many people can do that. You can say that I am a super loyal employee. In those 13 years I had been involved in three different subsidiaries but all in the same group of course. In my current position, I'm kinda left high and dry. All the middle managers had left and the original director who seconded us over has also since jumped ship. All because of one person. A megalomaniac who behaves like a God King in the company. After a major exodus of employees from a combination of transfers and resignations, he even blocked future attempts for internal transfer. A real vindictive bully. Long story short, I am now looking to leave. From time to time, my ex-boss hands me some job opportunities from his contacts. The first two didn't work out. On the third try, I got a call from HR and an interview was arranged! Goodness, my first interview in 13 years. And my first interview wasn't even really an interview at all because all that I was as

Jolly with Jasonino

Did my usual Sunday routine of church and Paradigm Mall-ing. Christmas decorations weren't up yet in the mall, but the retail shops are already displaying their Christmas wares. Lunch was at Phostreet , a new kid on the block. Felt some trepidation because it wasn't that long from my Viet Vomit episode at Lucky Quan. Hehe. Anyway, I was delighted that they serve pork. Tried their mixed beef pho and a pork chop rice. Must say that the portions don't quite hold up well to the pictures in the menu. Decent taste. But I must say that the sauces were very spicy. Mum and I directly went hunting for cendol to douse the fire in our mouths. In case you didn't know, Teochew Chendul has durian, chempedak, and white coffee varieties for their cendol now. KH and I had received an invitation to Jasonino's housewarming later that evening. His new place was located in Kajang, in an area that I had never visited before. Took us about an hour to get there. For some reason, I ne

Mid-November Quickie

How times have changed... al fresco kopitiam breakfast of salmon sashimi with kopi . A normal scene at OUG morning market. Call me an old fart, but I prefer thick curry noodles for breakfast! An old man looking for a gift for his grandchildren. He must be so confused by all the Disney princesses. Nothing beats a home-cooked lunch by your mum. Red wine residual chicken is something that mum and I really like to eat.

Day Off Paktor

Image
Another Friday, another day off for paktor with KH. Started the morning at League of Captains , The Row. Many years, that stretch along Jalan Doraisamy was known as the Asian Heritage Row, but it has been reborn. Things look different there with extensive renovations. Pestle and Mortar is behind the cafe with such an eye-catching name. The interior doubles as a mini showcase for its products. Took advantage of the B1F1 coffee offer, and ate a packet of super spicy nasi lemak and a sandwich from Tommy Le Baker. They don't do proper mains, all pre-packed. Out of a whim, we messaged Sharky that we were at the cafe and in under fifteen minutes, he turned up! Coincidentally, he was at work for some computer game tournament. His next shift didn't begin in a hour so he joined us for breakfast. Next on our schedule was a full body massage at Healthland , Renaissance Hotel. Quite a challenge to book a slot for this place, but it's worth it. For some unknown reason, we were g

Scrumptious Sunday

Image
Spent Sunday at One Utama. The mall was so crowded that even the One World Hotel parking was more filled up than usual. Went down to LG to look at the multitudes of restaurants and cafes. Most of them were bustling with customers. Walked till we finally found something that appealed to us-- Little Cravings . Food-wise, its's similar to Nyonya Colours ( tiny pieces of Nyonya kuih at RM1+ per piece ), but I must say that it tastes better. I recommend the Roti Jala with Curry Chicken. The rolls were freshly-made and the curry chicken was really creamy and thick. A whole bowl of it for you to slurp! The Asam Laksa ain't bad too, but it was really spicy. Minus points also for the super bitter coffee. Did a lot of walking around the mall, but we didn't buy much at all. It's not quite pleasant to navigate without a motorized scooter. Too big. Kobe beef was the highlight of the evening. SK brought some back from her recent trip to Osaka, so she organized dinner at Jyu

Second Time at Thirdwave

Image
I sniffled the whole of Friday until I stole a tab of Loratadine from KH. That night, I pengsan-ed from midnight till 9:00 AM. By that time, my mum had gone out with my The Tribe. Little Monster had to be at The Gardens Theatre for his concert rehearsal. KH knocked on my door at 9:30 AM. Initially, we were supposed to go out for breakfast, but our morning horniness got the better of us. At 9:35 AM we were both naked in bed and furiously kissing. Unfortunately, real life sex is not like a porn video. I just woke up, so I had to go get cleaned up before we continued to more serious business. I excused myself to the bathroom while KH fiddled with his phone. Once I got that out of the way, we went full throttle. He humped me good till I spooged on the sheets ( opps ). Nothing feels better than ejaculating while your man is inside you. Both of us were exhausted after that session and we were feeling super hungry. Drove over to Nexus Bangsar South to try out Thirdwave 's savoury st

Osaka's Bounty

Image
While we were sweating it out in KL, SK was freezing her ass off in Osaka and Shirakawa-go. As it is her custom, she arrived back in Malaysia bearing a lot of local products from Japan. Most impressive was the collection of fruits-- Kyoho grapes ( King! ), Muscat grapes ( Queen! ), red apple, yellow apple and peach. Just the grapes were around MYR100 a bunch. She also bought a lot of snacks but my favourite was the sake Kait-Kat. Love the aroma. That woman can even come back with a bowl of unagi rice and katsu sandwich in her hand carry luggage. She really knows how to bring the experience of Japan with her.  ありがとうございました !

Dear Dad on Deepavali

Image
A clash between Little Monster's graduation concert and our annual All Soul's Day roadtrip saw the latter being brought forward from November to October. Made the trip on Saturday, which happened to be Deepavali . KH tagged along, but SK didn't as she was in Osaka. We departed KL at 7:00 AM with TMNT playing on the in-car entertainment system. Kept the grumpy and groggy kids happy for a while. For most of the trip, I just slept. When I woke up, we had already arrived. Great! Just in time for breakfast at Jalan Maharani. Some disappointment that morning. The wantan noodles were too sweet and the yellow glutinous rice too soft. The Liew Kee CCF was also sold out. Thankfully the curry laksa and Mee Java was decent. Moved on to the wet market to get flowers and fruits. Surprised that the public toilet there charges RM0.50 per entry just like Lot 10. The cemetery was quiet except for a caretaker who was weeding some graves ahead of All Soul's Day. Thankfully,

Impressive Isetan

Once in a while, KH and I like to take leave leave to just spend the day together, roaming around KL. For our October session, we stopped at Pudu LRT to have breakfast a cute little joint called A Toast . From the station, just walk down towards Sek Yuen ( believe it or not, I have not dined her yet! ) and keep going. A Toast is located where a bus stop meets a pedestrian bridge. Much needed human traffic here for a healthy business. The place really reminds me of those breakfast joints in Bangkok, where little shops hug the busy streets, making use of limited urban space. Although the shop's built-up area is small, it's extensive use of glass makes it seem airy and more spacious. To maximize space, they use Hobbit-sized furniture, so it can a bit of a squeeze. I got their wholemeal toast that's a combination of hash brown and sunny-side up. The best way to enjoy their sandwiches is to eat with your hands. No worries about making a mess because they provide you with plast
