Sakura Swiped from FotoBob# . Over the weekend, POD and Nic were in town to visit a sick friend and do some shopping. So, they asked SK and I for some good makan-makan and shopping at The Pavilion. Managed to meet them slightly earlier at Sungei Wang after SK and I finished up with the CNY decorations at church. Just filled in several hundreds of red packets and tried to turn a 水樱 into an artificial 樱花 tree. We left soon after for lunch at Aman Suria. Had the yuckiest BKT I ever tasted. Pork in brine. Eww. The pork stomach soup was just as sad. Having filled our tummies, we headed to Tropicana Mall for a while. Couldn't get anything, so we just went home for a short rest and watched a bit of "Sex and the City" . Since POD and Nic had finished their hospital visit early, we decided to head out early to meet 'em. Parked at The Pavilion and walked over. POD tried to give us directions to the shop they were at, but the labyrinthine layout and POD's confusing in

FYI, Zen no longer has the tea time promotion where with every order of coffee or tea, you get a free slice of cake or dessert. For that, you'd have to go to Secret Recipe. And so, I was at the Taman Desa branch the other day and ordered a slice of Yoghurt Cheese Cake. Bottom layer cheese. Top layer yoghurt. You can see it in the picture. You see how it kinda flops down? That's the first time I've seen a cheese cake with erectile dysfunction. Not very appetizing hor? It would be different if after a few licks, the slice of cake stiffens back up, but that's just crazy talk. Cake, anyone? P.S.: The new Black Forest Cheese is horrible. It kinda collapses on itself. A cheese cake with a black hole in the middle. So Star Trek.

G11: Self Portrait Swiped from williamnyk . The first digital camera that I owned was the Canon A95. It was a partial birthday gift from SK and Jaz way back in 2005. SK would remember how difficult a choice it was. One year of R&D. She had nearly strangled me. Well, it was a very good choice. It had served me well over the years. Many happy moments and beautiful scenery were captured all over Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia. It had even made one trip to the camera hospital and emerged as good as new. But of late, my trusty camera had begun to show signs of old age. A type of macular degenration. The pictures come out dark and noisy. I suspect that the CCD is dying. With restarts, it will regain it's "sight", but after a few shots, it reverses back to its semi-blind state. :(. So sad right? So I made a decision to get a new camera. A successor to my trusty A95. After years and years of using the articulating LCD to frame my shots, I find mys

For years and years I have been in a way the Chinese term as 八字腿 ( number eight leg ). Why? Cause when I walk my foot points outwards rather than straight ahead. The problem is more prominent on my right leg and I have recently decided to finally make a conscious effort to correct it. So far it had been pointed out by several people, namely my mum, Jase and KH. Even Psycho Ah Long says I walk funny. Likened me to Lat characters! WTF! Just after a few days of walking posture awareness, my leg has started to protest. At first, I experience pain below the knee, then a dull ache at my pelvis. Now, both sensations have gone only to be replaced by a slight tiredness in my right leg. I think it's starting to work. If you do see me walking incorrectly, do give me a gentle reminder. Thanks. :).

the movie The World Unseen Swiped from Sarah Adamms . "Poor SK", as Alex would say. "Poor, Poor, SK". From the end of 2009 till February 2010, she got 3 "perhaps lesbian" comments from different people that she met for the first time. I dunno whether she's really exuding a strong les scent or it's just all the BFF's gay aura that's messed her own aura up. Well, anyway, lemme set the record straight: SK is straight. Straight as an arrow. Unfortunately, I have no proof to offer you. And some of you might even say, "to explain, is to hide the truth". Hehe. I'm sure people like Janvier will have lots to say about this subject. Whatever the case, I've fulfilled my obligation to vouch for her sexual orientation. Hehe. Ingat ya! . P.S.: Do drop me a comment if you have any nice STRAIGHT friends to recommend to her. :P

Man Swiped from japanfan20 . Some weeks back, Pooh and I connected on FB after he left a note on my blog post. Turns out, Zeem is a mutual friend of our's. Kinda like the Penang Chapter I guess. He had planned a trip down to KL during the Thaipusam weekend ( just last year, I was in Penang for Thaipusam , and this year, Penang comes to me ) and had messaged me that he wanted to arrange a gathering. Going through the usual rounds of "ding-dong" planning, we finally decided on dinner at Champs , Centerpoint. Pikey and Bear had arrived way before the appointed time and did some exploring of their own, while SK and I arrived with time to spare to shop for some winter clothing for her upcoming Japan business trip. But as luck would have it, the guest of honour had some real difficulty getting to the venue. Seventy five minutes and several phone calls later, Pooh finally arrived-- just in time to see us finish our dinner. LOL. The poor fellow had mistaken Centerpoint for O

Simpsons Cards 033 Swiped from ToySurfers . Due to some work commitments, now and then I have to deal with Psycho Ah Long . The last time I met him during a demo setup in Bandar Utama, he cornered me and talked my ears off. I was like a kid being reprimanded by the off-kilter discipline teacher. I just sat in my chair staring at him blankly. And so, I was forced to quickly arrange a meet up with the fella to iron things out. Luckily, he was in one of his better moods that day and we managed to talk things through. And so, after the meeting, I brought several close colleagues out for Coffee Bean during lunch and whaddya know, we bumped into my GM's entourage. Pscyo Ah Long was there too. He stood behind me and wrapped his long fingers around my neck! "You know what? I've never strangled a person to death before." And proceeded to squeeze a little. The crazy bastard! After satisfying his twisted urge, he went to the GM's table and joined them for coffee. :S

GCT Sharp Aquos display-3 Swiped from MF*****Fotos . My trusty CRT Sony 25" TV finally gave its death throes some weeks back after we sent it to the ICU for a month in '09. At least that couple of hundred bucks managed to lengthen it's life for one year plus. This time round, I've decided not to call it back to the Land of the Living. The time has come for me to embrace the LCD TV. Over the course of one week, I went shopping and did some research on the matter. The first shop I visited was Legend at OKR and the stringy-haired saleswoman zombie-ly told me: "Definitely Sharp Aquos. LCD 32" A66. Full-HD. MYRX950" And before leaving she gave me a long price list of all the popular models. I was very impressed. Just down the road, I stopped at TBM . The salesman there kept on telling me the virtues of the Panasonic Viera. Told me that Sharp looked crappy with Astro and that only Panasonic has the IPC LCD which has two layers. No charge for credit c

5 €uros Swiped from Edward Barnieh . Delegate. That's what I though when I told my subordinate to set up a demo system for my Fatty Boss. She did help me do the ground work, but the subsequent problems that followed ( very common when working in an environment with super-strict and downright annoying IT infrastructure policies ). It's understandable when you're at a client's site, but when it's 5X more horrible in your own office, that's just stupid. And so, I let things be for a few days hoping that she can wade through the shit by herself. However, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Ish. The deadline was looming and her scrambling at the office had alerted the senior VP. And soooooo.... I was called in to salvage the situation. And there began some days of hell trying to solve problem after problem. With everything finally in place, I waited for the demo that was initially scheduled for Tuesday morning. On monday, my Fatty Boss called me at

Talk Is Cheap! Swiped from Nastassia A. Davis . "If I were Law, I will resign over boat tragedy, says Tan" Yeah, right. That's what the Penang Wanita MCA Chief said over the dragon boat tragedy. It's easy to say such hypothetical things. So many if's. "The sad part of our Malaysian political scenario is that we do not have a high level of accountability" VERY TRUE. Just look at the stolen jet engines. I don't see anyone resigning. Declare "I'm not involved" ada la . Just look at Bukit Antarabangsa. I don't see anyone resigning. Try to protect the report under OSA ada la . Just look at the Kampar bridge tragedy. I don't see anyone resigning. No follow up ada la . "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" -- Matthew 7:3 Why indeed?

Zip Line Kite Swiped from yerffej9 . In your blog, do you allow anonymous comments? I do, for the convenience of readers who want to drop a quick note, or do not wish to reveal their identity, or do not have a blogger account ( but nowadays, there's the OpenID feature that allows inter-operability between different blogging communities ). As with all good things, there are drawbacks too, as sometimes I get spammed with random hate comments and advertisements. As and when I get these, I click on the "dustbin" icon. For me, it's fun to read people's comments regardless of the source. But when this feature is used to supposedly "represent" a valid user on the blogging commnunity, how reliable is it? Would you believe it? I won't, as there is no way for me to ascertain the real identity of the commentor. Anyone could have done it, and believe me, there are many people who are very tak han moh si zhou . Lepas baca, senyum saja . So when you'r

no wonder Swiped from MacQ . "I want to take your cock n suck it. I want to lick your balls as my hands rub your nipples. I will than(sic) lick n suck your nipples as my hands jerk off your hard long hot dick. U moan as I kiss your neck. I get on my knees n begin to suck u off. I want u to cum on my face" -- +6012XXXX450 When I received this in Singapore, I was like, "HOLY COW!". KH immediately read it and gave me an inquisitive look. Hehe. I swear I wasn't flirting with cute guys! Nor do I simply give away my number. KH guessed that it must have been a random "marketing". :P. Or was it a joke? Have you ever received something like this? Or is it your number? Fess up! :P

Breakfast With Love Swiped from williamnyk . Here's some trivia for all of you-- KH and I celebrate our anniversary on the 28th of January. It's gonna be our third year together. Does that make us semi-married in PLU terms? That's the day I agreed to be his BF, and the first time I was kissed ( or the day that horny PLU took advantage of the naive newbie, :P ). We did not sleep long into the morning, but we just kinda enjoyed each others' embrace on bed. I had wanted to get up to wish JJ goodbye before he left for work, but I was too late ( although he was late for work too! Must have been too distracted in bed... :P ). And so, to celebrate the occasion ( we decided on bringing it forward ), we had our anniversary skank on the last day of my trip. The night before, I had given KH my famous sensual bergamot oil massage, so I guess he was friskier in the morning. Hehe. To replenish our lost protein, KH cooked a simple breakfast of eggs with a side of butterhead a

Rorshach Swiped from cheddyfri . We were supposed to wake up at 8:15am to get ready for the 9:30am mass at the Church of the Holy Trinity in Tampines, but I kind of overslept. KH's alarm did not register in my mind at all and when he tried to wake me ( I suspect he wasn't trying too hard, :P ), I just kinda brushed it off. By the time I wiped the sleep from my eyes, it was already too late, so we decided on the sunset mass instead. Since I get to "cleanse my sins" later ( as JJ likes to say ), we had some morning sinnin'. Brunch was with Nic, C-Mon, Den and JJ at Crystal Jade Kitchen , Tampines One. Horrible. It was just horrible. The egg tarts were bad. The siew mai disintegrated on contact with my chopstick. The ha kau 's skin did not taste right. The wu kok had a flour-y aftertaste. The char siew bao couldn't make it. The chu cheong fun did not come with the proper sauce. And when I asked for chilli sauce, they gave me Maggi! :S. I was only sati

tatty wardrobe full of treasure Swiped from mirtleturtle . Sometimes when I give KH a big hug, he'll kiss me and put his face to my neck and exclaim: "Baby, you have that cupboard smell again..." >___________________<". Feel like slapping him. :P. Is it time to get a new detergent or change the naphtalene in my wardrobe?

Singapore2010011 Swiped from williamnyk . First thing in the morning, KH and I boarded bus the bus to the nearby NTUC Fairprice to do some grocery shopping. I had promised to cook for KH and he wanted me to boil a nourishing soup for him ( to make up for his weeks of OT and the recent sex, :P ). I slaved in the kitchen for hours while JJ and KH were both busy playing "Torchlight" on the computer ( but I did bellow for KH to do some washing up and boil the rice, hehe ). On the menu was herbal chicken soup, capsicum apple salad with pan-fried chicken, steamed tofu with minced meat and mushrooms and fried barramundi fillet with ginger and teriyaki sauce. Both of them gave me burps of approval, but KH gave less points for my soup cause it wasn't thick enough. :(. I'll give him something thicker to drink in the bedroom. Hmph. As JJ's a game freak of sorts, he managed to persuada KH and I to join him in a game of Pictionary. It was kinda cute seeing how lousy our dra

You Light Up My Life Swiped from williamnyk . Slept in late on Friday. KH took leave and JJ went to work. Hence, we had JJ's expensive spring mattress at our disposal again. Hehe. I had grounded my swimmers for a week, and boy were they happy to be released. ^_^. After all that exertion, KH made me his famous breakfast for champions again-- sawdust in milk with dried fruits. You're salivating already aren't you? He force-fed me that! Later, we freshened up and made our way to Jurog East to catch Body Worlds at The Singapore Science Centre. Had a simple lunch at the stalls beside the Jurong East MRT station-- fishball noodles and wanton noodles. The seller was so farking fierce. Like a drill sergeant. Body Worlds was really worth the SGD20 ( naturally the BF paid, thanks baby, :P ). I see a pattern here-- one exhibition per visit! For the uninitiated, it's actually plastinated cadavers on display. The cadavers are put into poses, skin and and bones may be stri

Wipe Your Mouth Swiped from williamnyk . Ah... my first Singapore trip of 2010 and my arrival kinda overlapped with his parents' sudden trip down South too! Luckily, it didn't put a dent in any of our plans ( I arrive, they leave ), just that Jaded Jeremy and POD were the ones at the airport instead of him. The guys quickly ushered me to T3 for dinner at Xin Wang ( POD loves the place, but has hardly tried 5% of the menu! ). I ordered the fried bihun with pork ribs and peach tea. Quite nice, but the drink was pricey since it had slices of peach in it. Halfway chatting with POD regarding him swiping his credit card to death ( literally ), KH called to say that he sent ( ditched ) his mum off after a dinner of ayam penyet at City Hall and would be joining us. KH was happy to see me, but he looked a tad cranky, so after dinner we quickly set off for home. JJ and POD loved to take jibes at him to see whether he would choose the cab or the train. We took the cab... cause

"Does This Curtain Make Me Look Fat?" (ACEO) Swiped from shalulu9 . On one night, I was having dinner with SK at home. We were in the dining room and mum went upstairs to her room. Suddenly, we heard my mum scream. Once, then twice, then thrice, in quick succession. Having stared at each other enough, we rushed upstairs to see what the kerfuffle was about. Turns out that mum had found a cat on her bed and when she tried to shoo it off, it kinda "pee-ed" on her silk comforter. By the time we had gotten up, the cat had fleed to my room and subsequently rushed out and climbed to the top of the curtains. It was scared shitless. We tried brooms and I even pelted it with a tennis ball, but it just clawed onto the curtains like there's no tomorrow. Finally, we opened the window and it jumped out on its own accord. The window was wet too... I suspect that the cat was pregnant ( it looked so bloated ) and the "pee" was actually amniotic fluid. I thin

My Gift : ) Swiped from Big Hugs . To tell the truth, I had dined at Le Bouchon before and the service wasn't all that great, so I had wanted to give it a miss and go to Little Havana instead. However, we had no jodoh with the Cuban restaurant-- the new management ( now known as Havana ) was not honouring the 50% off dining privileges of the old management. Blegh. And so, we walked across the road into Le Bouchon to celebrate KT's birthday ( one week ahead of schedule, a be-earlied celebration one might say ). Just a small party of 5, the birthday girl, her BF, SK, mum and I. This time round, we tried to order something a little different. We were the first customers that night and even walked into the staff having dinner. Nothing much changed after one year, but I must say that the service had improved. For starters we ordered the Terrine de Foie Gras maison ( goose liver terrine and fig jam on sour doug bread ) and the grilled scallops in port wine sauce. Both we

two smiley keys (emoticons) Swiped from Heberger Site . Conan Cat was just blogging ( last year actually! ) about emoticons the other day and I had this staring back at me from my browser address bar: http://www.menshealth.com/giftguide/gifts/last-minute/index.php?cm_mmc=DailyDoseNL-_-2009_12_24-_-HTML-_-1 I have never seen a URL this sienz before. LOL. Another two more days and I'll be back in KL folks! Gotta maximize the fun in Singapore!

Hi everyone! Greetings from Singapore! Just arrived during dinner time and was welcomed by Jaded Jeremy and POD. Hope to spend plenty of quality time with KH, visit friends, see some cadavers at the Science Center and SKANK, SKANK and SKANK. Hehe. A proper post when I get back, k? The BF is beckoning for me to go to bed.... Ciao!

DSC_0177 Swiped from d_yatnikasari . While looking for episodes of "Dendam Nyipelet" on YouTube the other day ( which I did not find, :( ), I rediscovered the wonders of Indonesian horror movies from the 70s. Total classics! After going through several, I spotted some similarities. The recurring face of a certain actress... I can't get her name as there are no credits, but it's kinda like seeing Brigitte Lin appear over and over again in wuxia movies during the 90s. Buxom women in overflowing bustiers. Must be all the coconut milk they ingest. :P. Cheesy sex scenes. The director cleverly used mating toads to denote sex. :P Creative ways of getting killed. I even saw one movie that borrowed heavily on "Nightmare on Elm Street". LOL. Interesting folk magic and characters. Super cool. Storylines involving adultery, revenge, murder and greed. There's always a moral to the story. But it's all so entertaining. Here's a synopsis of the several movi

Week 3 - Greta Montgomery at Breakwater Hotel Swiped from em`lia . Here's something interesting I wanna share with all of you. I know Ben through Facebook. He added me cause I was a friend of one of KH's Singaporean buddies. I've never met him in person, but we do wu liao with each other on FB at times. He's openly gay and it's usual to see photos of him and his boyfriend, Baby in intimate poses. So one fine day, I see a photo of Ben being kissed on the cheek by a guy whom I instinctively thought was Baby. I mah leave a comment lo ... "Show off! :P" And the reply I got was "William, u have problem with us is it?" I was kinda taken aback by it. Was wondering if I said something rude. After reading a subsequent status update of his, it dawned one me... "Life is busy upon attached with 2 darlings that brought sunshine to my life but never mind all the rude remarks that we had encounter as we know we had made the wise choice of 201

Maiko in Kyoto, Japan ( Geisha ) Swiped from NikonD-200 . Last Friday, I had a blogger gathering at OKR-- Takashi, Evann ( whom I met for the first time ), My President, Bear, Pikey, Bunny, SK and Gratitude. It was over a big spread of BKT ( with one pot specially for the pork fat lovers ), wine chicken, kidney in ginger, steamed fish head, blanched vegetables and crullers. A meat fest! ( how much did you eat Evann? ) My President was the latest to arrive due to his famous time management skills and earned a tongue-lashing from SK and I. Amazingly, Bunny managed to find the place and arrive on time although he took a more indirect route. On to Evann, I find that he looks so different in person. Much thinner and I had no idea he was soooooo fair. Takashi went on to say that Snow White committed suicide because of him, but I reckon it was due to the fact that the Seven Dwarves finally dumped her for Prince Charming. Since everyone was sweating from the uncomfortable environment

I'm Fine, You're Fine Swiped from aramloe . Picked up this "documentary" at the DVD pirates' the other day. Well, it definitely doesn't watch like "The Devil Wears Prada" , but it is interesting enough. The star is supposed to be Anna Wintour, the Editor of Vogue, but somehow, I felt that Grace Coddington, her Creative Director subtlely stole her thunder. Throughout the whole thing, Anna merely gives disdainful looks and says, "Cut this out, cut that out". Grace on the other hand is portrayed like the underdog, someone who has passion for her work, but must kow-tow to an impossible boss. Everytime Anna reviews her photoshoot, she would go into the compilation room and look at the rejected photos. Everytime Anna gives some directive on what to leave in and what to put out, we can see Grace's exasperation. After "discussing" with the boss, she would come out to complain and let out steam, flabbergasted by the decision.

Bowls Swiped from williamnyk . The rain welcomed us again the next morning. Everything was covered in mist. Dragged myself out of bed, freshened up and completed my packing. The cold, dry air of Cameron had wreaked havoc on my face. In just 3 days, it had become flaky. :(. Had to use emergency measures-- lather on lots of cream and hyaluronic acid. And the air pressure going up had caused my eye gel to spurt like a leaky cock. Ish. Bear was nicely snuggled under the toasty sheets while Pikey had the job of coaxing him out of bed. Dangling a carrot or salmon or banana as bait, you use your imagination. Fortunately, the breakfast spread was different from the day before. We sat at a table with an elderly Japanese couple who started chatting with me after she saw me cross myself saying grace. Turns out that they're on a month-long holiday travelling from Penang->Cameron Highlands->KL->New Zealand. Best- nya . Filled our tummies to the max, then checked out. On our wa

The Good 'ol Days Swiped from williamnyk . Our day started at 8:15am. Dragged ourselves out of bed and freshened up for breakfast. The buffet spread included nasi lemak , fried rice vermicelli, fried flat noodles, nuggets, sausages, toast and porridge. Better than I expected. Finally, I tasted the cool air. The sky was overcast. It was drizzly. Out came the sweater from my knapsack. Our first stop was at Agro Tourism Farm , just around the corner from the hotel. Plenty of butterhead and red coral planted hydroponically. Strawberries too. But they were all so cinonet . It just wasn't the season. And the rain was a factor it seems. And just adjacent to it was Cactus Valley . The steep climb left us winded. Need to improve my stamina! We then headed to the Time Tunnel beside the Kok Lim Strawberry Farm. The entrance fee of MYR5.00 was well worth it. A very well-laid out slice of the good 'ol days in the Cameron Highlands. Never seen so many antiques and everyday arti

Precarious Swiped from williamnyk . Hi everyone, I'm back from Cameron Highlands ( or Camlands as Janvier puts it )! Quite an enjoyable trip as the pace was just right and most importantly, the company was enjoyable. To avoid the holiday rush, we went up the hill on Thursday and down the hill on Saturday. In the morning, Pikey, Bear and SK came to pick me up from my home. As SK had veto-ed the front seat for herself ( a good thing also, as the driver may be too distracted! ), Bear sat in the backseat with me. An adorable kid. Pai-seh2 and giggles a lot. Every now and then, Pikey would look over his shoulder to check up on Bear ( takut I gigit BF dia ) and they would smile sloppily at each other. If the roads up to Cameron don't make you hurl, that would. :P. Lunch was at a restaurant near Tringkap. Ordered some pork ribs, claypot beancurd and stir-fried vegetables. Had our first taste of the cool air, but my cup of hot Nescafe was enough to keep it at bay. Our first

With all the recent shit happening in the country, the thin veneer of the 1Malaysia concept is obviously disintegrating and revealing its true, bigoted visage. Hence, I am commissioning a redesign of the 1Malaysia logo-- a hornets' nest wrapped in the colours of the Malaysian flag. With this, they can jolok the sarang tebuan themselves for all they like. See if I care. Any talented artists around? :). I pay well with big, sloppy kisses. :P. If only everyone can be like Gus Dur and say, "gitu aja kok repot?" .

This is what my colleague's wrote about me during a motivational course in Colmar Tropicale. It was part of our traning-- Building A Cohesive Team To Create A Win/Win Synergistic Effect For All . Sounds like a load of crap? It was. LOL. FYI, it happened in '07 and I just happened to blog this after digging through some of my rubbish. Do you think what's written there is accurate? Or just that my colleagues: 1) had no creativity 2) had a limited vocabulary 3) did not have a thesaurus on hand? 4) were TOO polite Wakakaka. Is this who you know me to be? You be the judge.

Up In Ashes Swiped from williamnyk . Last Wednesday, SK and I were invited to a food excursion in Klang by its resident Godfather, Anton. Fearing for the traffic condition, we headed out early to Klang. But who would have guessed that KESAS was very teng wah that day and we arrived at Anton's place much earlier than expected. Since he was still tied up with his Dowager, he suggested that we go to the park nearby to kill some time. Luckily the park provided enough entertainment for us. Who would have thought that a housing estate would contain a huge park with miniaturised world landmarks? In 35 minutes, SK and I camwhored from Iran to Holland. Tried to pull some Fable Frog poses too, but failed miserably. :P. By that time, Anton had arrived home, and we made our way to Klang's oldest BKT shop near the KTM Komuter station in the old part of town. Since Klang-ites have BKT as early as 6:00am, by the time we arrived, most of the good stuff was already sold out. :(. With

Oxfam G8 'Big Heads' Swiped from oxfam international . Note: I did not expect to start my first post in 2010 like this... but what the heck. Not like I made a resolution to be less bitchy and complain less. Hehe. Remember my post about Pos Malaysia's incompetence ? Well, I just found out that they're lying bastards too. According to their last e-mail, they delivered the package back to the sender because I failed to make a collection within two weeks. Guess what? The package FINALLY arrived. How the hell did THAT happen if they already made the "delivery" and "sent it back to the seller"? So mysterious, right? They must take me for an idiot. Booo!
