Opposites Swiped from williamnyk . Whenever mum's away, SK and I usually attend the English mass that is earlier in the morning. It maximizes one's Sunday. Breakfast was Restoran 747 again, but this time we were joined by Carpe Diem and Bunny. Heaved a sigh pf relief that Bunny managed to find the place without any incident. JJ did not manage to join because he was sick. Right after breakfast, Carpe Diem followed us back to Bandar Kinrara to view SK's unit. Gave his thoughts and some ideas for home improvement. Really appreciate that. Then off we went to the furniture shop at 1Puchong ( yes, the name is so UGH ) to pick up mum's new nyatoh coffee table. I was supposed to take my sister's Toyota Avanza to pick up that piece of wood, but she left me the Ford Frontier instead. That's too macho a 4WD for me to drive so I dismantled the Proton Iswara's boot instead. Upon reaching the shop, we found that they had not wrapped the table for us yet. And the

Tessy's Poorly Thumb Swiped from John the Scone . Hi guys and gals! I'm back from my getaway with KH and a couple of friends. Here's a filler post before I get things revved up again, k? Miss y'all! While drinking some Roselle tea after dinner one night, mum brought up an old topic from my childhood-- my bro getting his hand burnt in an accident. Why was this brought up? Well, mum was reading the news and in it was an article where a woman burnt her hand from an explosion that was caused by an attempt to burn a perfume bottle. Quite the same for my brother, just that in his case, it was a bottle of brandy. My mother was surprised that I knew as I was still quite young at the time. "Of course I remember. I was there. I was the one who suggested that he stuff a piece of burning paper into the bottle. :P" Wakakaka. Quite the little devil wasn't I? Nobody knew anything. I did not say anything. My brother did not say anything. Took more than twenty ye

Caged Buddhas High in the Temple in Borobudur Swiped from Stuck in Customs . Dear readers, I'll be off for nearly a week, so don't miss me too much. :). Will be flying between Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Jogjakarta in this period of absence. Just a short break with KH and another couple. A double date of sorts in the cultural heart of Indonesia. I promise to take lots of pictures and have lots of sex, k? XD. Love, William

Combing the Treasure Trail

One Word Poster: Private Swiped from dubccc . The latest couple of Japanese pornographic movies that I downloaded had a similarity that I did not notice from other production houses. Obviously, I'm not pointing out sucking, fucking and what not. That is given. The movie from Surprise had scenes where the guy giving a blowjob paused a while to remove pubic hair from his mouth... Yes, it is bound to happen unless the person you're blowing is a pak cham kai ( like Evann admitted, :P ). That is also why I trim before my conjugal visits to Singapore. But frankly, it somehow puts a dash of realism in the sex act. Not everything goes so smoothly and beautifully from start to end like we are made to believe through the magic of film editing. Cocks never get soft. The hole is always ready to receive. Climaxes happen together giving even olympic synchronized divers a run for their money. So, any other type of realism that you would like porn directors to include or exclude even?

Time is Slower in Klang?

Klang Delights Swiped from williamnyk . On Saturday, SK sent mum out to church in the wee hours of the morning so that she could catch the bus to Pangkor. A senior citizen trip of sorts. As the renovations were still on-going, I stayed at home to keep an eye on things. I entertained myself by moving my laptop to the living room and watching episode after episode of "Naruto Shippuuden". So kan cheong watching the Naruto vs. Pain battles. SK came home with breakfast from a famous fishball noodle shop in Taman United. I shall not name it because it really sucked. Big time. Soggy noodles in sweet soup. And the fishballs were nothing to shout about. Expensive pulak tu ! Later, SK went out again. This time for her TCM appointment. She came home with lunch from a vegetarian shop in OUG. Cheap, delicious and healthful mixed rice! At around 4:30pm, the workers packed up and left. We did a quick clean up as mum's super-sensitive about the dust. Had another Klang Makan-Mak

On the Road Celebrities: Priscilla, Queen of the Highway

Image
A special variation of my LRT Celebrities series-- something I caught on the road. See that super bling-ed steering wheel with red sequins? Really stands out in her blue Viva. See how it sparkles... I really don't how she drives with such a thing on her steering wheel. Imagine sheathing yourself with a rhinestone-studded condom. And wouldn't she be distracted by all that glitter? It kinda passes as something a drag queen might use. Or she could 'pimp' things up with a disco ball hanging at her rear view mirror. So, is your steering wheel accessorized? Is your car colonized by soft toys? Does it resemble a display corner at World of Feng Shui? Please share. :).

Back To Dust

... your funeral would be like this? Swiped from █▓▒░AT░▒▓█ . Wednesday night after work, mum told me that a church friend's mother-in-law had passed away. So we finished up dinner and immediately headed to OUG. Was quite surprised to find a funeral service going on at the house. I had thought that the deceased was Taoist. Turns out that she had converted 2 minutes before passing away at the hospice ( before this, her daughter-in-law cared for her, clean and tube-fed her at home... even her own daughter did not ). For 30 years, her Catholic daughter-in-law couldn't convince her, but on her deathbed, the Methodist volunteers saved her soul. That's some way to 'close a sale'. :P. Anyway, sat through half of the service and ate some peanuts. Such a standard for Chinese funerals. Later on, we gathered around the coffin and did our little own prayer session. One of the BEC members fished a little booklet out of her handbag, but wasn't keen on leading, so SK

Liberate the Chickens!

Image
, KFC Swiped from WahaM - ♥QбŘ♥ . My Merdeka Day was spent at the shopping mall. MV to be exact. Arrived before 10:30am, so there was ample parking. Our first stop was Club Monaco and SK already immediately bought something. Shopping comes naturally to her. :S. Next, we were at Bimba & Lola. With 70% off store-wide, most of the good stuff was already snatched up. At Isetan, mum bought a pair of pants and had it altered for free. One of the many perks of the IMC card. Also bought some groceries which I later lugged back to the car which was at the Robinsons side... Ugh. Then I zoomed over to the old wing. Was supposed to meet SK at Best Denki. I had forgotten that one can only get down to LG via center court, so I had to double back... So annoying navigating the crowds. Bah. And halfway to Best Denki, I felt like strangling DiGi's YCF because the line kept breaking up. When I finally got through, I found out that SK had moved on to Harvey Norman! Argh. I quickly made a U-turn

Nagasari

Image
Nagasari Swiped from williamnyk . Last Monday, SK had joined me for lunch as she was on leave to settle some stuff with EPF. Lunch was supposed to be at Restoran Kheng Heong at The Pines, but that didn't happen because the whole row is being torn down. Several of the staff were there and we asked whether they were reopening somewhere else. They seemed uncertain. Read in The Star Metro that DBKL had allocated them a piece of land at Lorong Chan Ah Tong, but I'm not quite sure where that is. Another place for good and cheap food closed down.. oh well, satu lagi projek Barisan Nasional . Since we were already there, we walked down the road to have lunch at Nagasari . My first time there. Was kinda at a lost on what to eat until the proprietess came along and asked me to try their exclusive chicken tosai. How novel! SK ordered their naan set. The tosai was quite good! Better than most murtabak I had eaten in KL. Truth be told, it is good enough without the gravy. Do give

Iron Rice Bowl

Image
Iron Rice Bowl Swiped from Rob-Shanghai . Is it true that if you're in the civil service, you're shielded from punishment according to the law? You can say and do what you want because the government does not want to lose face. It's great that prosecution and jail time can be substituted with a mild rap on the hand in the form of "displinary" action. A while later when the issue has died down, you're back on track and in for a promotion even! Sugei!

Swimming Through Life

Image
Gasping for success Swiped from The Pylon . Last Sunday, my swim was joined by two indian kids who were there with their father. They would be swimming, while their dad just observed from the side. What amused me was the way they swam. Flailing and gasping for air on every stroke. Sink. Gasp. Crawl. Sink. Gasp. Crawl. For the backstroke, their heads were sugmerged half of the time. I wonder how much chlorine water they drank. It was exhausting watching them do it. And yet, they did it for many laps. To me it seemed like some kind of perverse enjoyment. I tried demonstrating to them how leisurely a swim could be, but the kid did not get the point. Tried to tell him to hold in the air, but he looked at me blankly and gave me a thumbs up, prompting that we should race. Can't help to think that perhaps I am going through life like those kids right now. Flailing through life. Struggling. When will be a slow and leisurely swim? Minimum effort with maximum gains. Oh well, enough

Chicken Rice & Tom Yam

Image
Braun Buffel Swiped from williamnyk . Last Saturday, I could wake up a bit later cause mum wanted me to stay home to monitor the contractor. The Indonesian worker came at around 8:00am and started work not long after. I still had not entirely wiped the sleep from my eyes, so I just lazed on the sofa watching Rice Rhapsody on my iPhone. Not really very entertaining but it helped me pass the time. A good friend of mine once recommended that I ask my mother watch the movie. I wonder if she'd be receptive. Heh. Two hours and five wheelbarrows later, the worker left for another site to work. Ugh. Mum and SK came home not later bringing breakfast! Had a mixture curry mee, wantan noodles and nasi lemak. Work only resumed at 3:00pm. But at least another worker came along to speed up the digging. At around 3:30pm, CCC came over and we went out to the nearby Giant to visit the spectacle shop. It was an emergency because the spectacle leg had rusted off in the sleeve and he's quite bl

Food Junction

Image
Food Junction Swiped from Yves Florack . Last Friday, I had lunch at MV Food Junction for the first time in perhaps 5 years. I never had good memories of the place. I remember it as being forever devoid of available tables and the food so-so. But thanks to the fasting month, my revisit was made easier and more pleasant. Had a facelift too. Perhaps I shall blog about this in another 5 years. :P. If you're bored enough, or you're a psychic~ guess what I ate. :P P.S.: The pic above is from Singapore, not KL. :P

Fish Spa

Image
Doctor Fish-Vietnam e dintorni Swiped from albyf1948 . Being a supposed 'straight' guy in office lets me participate in my male colleague's talk on women and cars. Intercooler, Type R, turbo, blah, blah, blah, pretty girls, boobs. Yes, SO BORING right? But I could do boobs. I am not bothered with how pretty a girl is, but I do like to point out subjects of interest to my colleagues while my eyes are roving for cute guys. Just the other day, Lan was regaling us with his visit to a fish spa nestled in a seedy hotel somewhere in KL: Moi: So, How long were you at this 'fish spa'? Lan: From 10:00am till 8:00pm. Moi: (nearly choking on my kopi c) What?! What the hell did you do for 10 hours?! Lan: Well...... We soaked in the baths and used the fish spa. Sat in the jacuzzi. Then near lunch time, we went upstairs to the restaurant for lunch. Food was free. Can order anything you like. At the restaurant is where the action is. The pimps would be there soliciting business

Merdeka

Image
Xue - Study Swiped from Pawel Maciejewski . It's the 31st of August today. 53 years of independence. It totally slipped my mind. Holiday on Tuesday? What's the occasion? My colleague was baffled. Things seem very quiet in KL. The Singapore NDP had a much bigger presence. Well, what does Merdeka mean to you? This year, to me it means that I'm lucky that I don't have to balik Tiong Kok . Sekian.

Journalism?

Image
Spider Jerusalem's brand of journalism Swiped from silverwolfnoir . Heard about the furore generated from an opposition MP entering a mosque without properly covering herself according to 'religious tenets'? I watched it on the government mouthpiece's prime time news. The newscaster declared it as: Biadap dan melampau!! Isn't that inciting hatred? To me, news channels should be impartial. Not apple polishers who are over-zealous when it comes to condemning the 'enemy'. I really have no more appetite for mainstream media. Yes, it's Biadap dan melampau!!

Crackety-Crack

Image
Crack I Swiped from williamnyk . Remedial works have finally started on my brother's house after the contractor FFK on the first day. At least he's here now. They'll have to dig out the base and since the back of the house has no alley, they'll be going through the front door! Imagine the chaos, the dust and dirt. And they'll be reconstructing one side of the wall first to avoid making things too 'exposed'. Will have to temporarily board things up for at least a couple of nights. Ah, I guess we have not much choice. I just hope that the problem will be solved after paying the MYR4,500. The cracks are already so bad that rats can even squeeze through!

Everything Under One Roof

Image
jo kwon Swiped from camelle20@ . On Sunday, we went to Kota Damansara for lunch since SK wanted to shop at Houz Depot. Went past Sunway Giza into The Strand and starting looking for a place to eat. That area was more deserted, so parking was a breeze, but it made selecting a lunch venue quite risky as well as it's difficult to gauge if it's good. Ended up at Restoran Korea Bulgogi . The main factor was the giant sign out front that stated "$9 Lunch Sets Daily". LOL. But we ordered something else la. Interesting decor inside and we were the only customers. The waiters at the restaurant beside were sleeping on the chairs. :S. Ordered the dolsot bibimbap and kimchi stew sets. Washed it down with some weird corn tea. The food was quite good actually and we were entertained by a Korean variety show. Jo Kwon from 2AM was the host. Slitty-eyed sexiness. Eemmmm. Not long after we started eating, a woman came into the restaurant mumbling "set, set, set" to the wai

Reno, Haircut & Steamboat

Image
Kopi Tarik Swiped from williamnyk . Mum breezed through Saturday's morning market ritual because she made an appointment with the renovator at 11:00am. For breakfast, we packed nasi lemak and dry curry noodles from the OUG Wet Market. My mother also bought some jelly-fied coconut ( still in the shell ). Quite nice and refreshing. The renovator inspected the damage to the house extension. Both walls had cracked more than an inch. The floor tiles have begun to tilt and crack too. At some parts, even the main house body has started to crack due to the pressure. Initial findings suggest that the footing's not wide enough to support the extension. He would most probably hack off a section from both walls, put a beam in place and cantilever it to the main structure. He even brought his wife along. Quite a motor-mouth! Hopefully he can remedy the shoddy work that the original renovator delivered. Sigh. In the afternoon, SK and I went out for lunch at Restoran Ah Loy , OUG. It was

Midnight Oil

Image
Greek Swiped from williamnyk . "I've finished my part, do you need me for anything else?" I should not have opened my mouth. His eyes looked wild and they rolled around while thingking of what I could do for him. Everyone else was still struggling trying to bring up the system for next day's Proof of Concept (POC). A very, very dirty phrase in my book. Rush work. Pressure to impress customers. Every single mistake will be pinned on you if the deal goes bust. Ugh. Instead of leaving at dinner time, my boss detained me till 4:00am! Barely had 2 1/2 hours of sleep, then it was back to work. Slept in the car. Slept on the train. Was practically floating around. I pity my colleagues who did not even go home to shower. Customers are getting very pushy and demanding. And vendors are getting heads over heels trying please the customers. Sufference. In the end, most of the stuff was up and running and my load test went well. Was quite flattered when the customer thought I

Shut me up Explored! Swiped from Conor Keller | fortysixtyphoto.com . "Dear, I am unhappy about something. I want you to do something for me, but I can't tell what it is..." "Cause if I do, then it will lose its significance!" Am I making any sense? Can you relate? Perhaps you've encountered such a scenario in your relationships before. P.S.: Don't worry about KH and I. In the end, I told him. We overcame this little piece of pre-bedtime drama. LOL.

Hit and run

Image
Hit and run Swiped from Cracas . I have a friend who has an annoying habit. He would suddenly appear on GTalk and buzz you with a question. Gets the answer that he wants. Then just disappears without a trace. No TQ. No response. Or offline even. Geram betul! What should I do when faced with this possible "hit and run" scenario in the future?

Meet the Neighbours

Image
Fast track: Church->Lunch->Optical Shop. Mum's pair of multifocals were getting very dingy. The plating on her frame had disintegrated, so she decided to replace it. Apollo's sis, Eva was already resigning to become an air stewardess, so we decided to make use of her super discounts before she leaves. Choices were limited because drastic reshaping of the lens was a no-no in order to preserve the power of the lens. Eva immediately went to work and it was ready within half an hour. Went to visit SK's new apartment in Bandar Kinrara after that to monitor the progress of the renovations. Still quite a bit to go really. Discovered some kind dampness at the bottom of her walls. Hopefully it's not some kind of shoddy plumbing. Then we went up to my unit. One of my neighbours saw us and gave us a friendly "Hello!". Seeing that we were admiring their beautiful home, the Malay couple, Fir and Lin were SO FRIENDLY that they unlocked the door and invited us in witho

Family Day II & Lights Out

Image
CK joined us on our morning marketing trip. He had arrived from Kajang at about 7:30am. Mum had to go out to some Mary Kay product demo, so we whizzed through the whole process. Breakfast was at Bandar Park OUG. Mum and I ordered first while SK went to park the car. When she finally came over and ordered, the hawker told her: "Your mother and little brother already order lo." LOL. Little brother. Hehe. For lunch, DH came over and we went to Serdang again. His mummy was wanted to cook, but he vehemently declined! Haha. Well, I guess he tak nak menyusahkan mak bapak. Baik kan? Ordered the steamed haruan ( so smooth... yummy! ), fried mantis prawns ( meaty and crispy! ), asparagus and dried chilli clams. Unfortunately, the price had increased. Then we made a trip to Suria KLCC in his new White Vios. CK went home, but we were accompanied by Orson, the bear-who-lives-in-a-drink-holder. He zoomed through Suria KLCC in his usually snazzy footwork. No different from when we first

Longing for Longer

Check out Burger King 's latest seasonal addition to their menu-- BK Xtra Long . The catchphrase-- So long and juicy no one can resist! It hits a chord with the gay community kan ? We all can relate to that. And look at the model's neck in the ad. Gives a whole new world of meaning to deep throating . Hehe. Over and out.

New Home, New Friends

Image
bless.our.home Swiped from .elsie*cake. . Friday night had me at Paragon Heights participating in a home mass cum home blessing. Lotsa guests but with the same old people getting lost on the way. Taking the same wrong turns. I was practically shouting to get people on the right track. Is the Puncak Jalil area that daunting? Ish. The mass was pretty standard, but the homily was integrated with a sharing session about evangelization in one's daily life. I wonder if I ever inspired anyone to join the Catholic faith or at least spread some understanding about it. The home blessing was an express version. A short prayer and the priest went around with his bottle of holy water ( travel pack ) while we sang some hymns. In the full version, a different prayer would be recited for each room in the house. Lotsa food as usual, but I was not interested at all. Was feeling bloated and my lack of appetite even made me spurn the thick wild boar curry that they were serving. Just munched

Teletubby Tales

Image
Swiped from RitchieBITCH Have you ever watched "The Teletubbies"? Yes, the kids show that is in the same infernal league as Barney. Another butch of Dukes from Hell who have set up shop in children's TV. We have Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po and Tinky-Winky . All of 'em have distinct dildos on their heads and a TV on their bellies that play reruns of B-grade movies all day long. Rumour has it, the purple Teletubby, Tinky-Winky is gay! Haha. But just look at this pic I found in DeviantArt! If ever Bravo took over from BBC, things would look like this. Quite cool. I would definitely watch the show. If you still dunno what the heck I am talking about, do wiki 'em here. Don't say I did not warn you. P.S.: So,which DeviantArt Teletubby do you want to fuck?

White Walls

Image
Futuristic white living room of the Suite Blanche at the Hotel Concorde Berlin in Germany Swiped from Concorde Hotels Resorts . Sunday started with a bit of a snag. Mum was a tad crabby, but I kept my cool. Turns out later it's because she was feeling a bit bloated. Goodness. Women! Went to church a usual and had lunch at Restoran 747 again. This time round, we supplemented our meal with roast pork too. Delicious. Thank goodness the shop wasn't as stuffy as it used to be. Another stall had closed down and that mean more space for the wanton mee customers. Goodie. Kelana Jaya was already halfway to Mutiara Damansara, so we braved the jam to IKEA. SK wanted to get some stuff for her new apartment. With her, everything seems to be "white, white, white"! Did some walking around the flea market at The Curve after that. Such a coincidence bumping into the PLU couple that I saw at the lighting shop the other day. The guy recognized me and I gave him my 40W half-sm

August Babies

Image
Happy August Swiped from Playful / Pablo Alfieri . A SMS request from JJ to kick-off a birthday gathering for Bunny prompted the August Babies Birthday Gathering at Rakuzen , Plaza Damas. After more than 100 e-mails, the venue was finally determined but the headcount was still a question mark. By that time, I was getting a little bitchy ( but Junior would contest the severity ), so I handed over the final preparations to Bunny. Poor thing, harijadi sendiri pun kena buat kerja ... LOL. When I arrived at the restaurant at 7:05pm, I was very surprised to find that 8 out of the 14 guests were already sitting there! SO NOT BFF! And for some reason, most of the power couples were without their boyfriends in tow! Junior was even blatant enough to find a hunky replacement ( did not have a chance to interact with the quiet fellow )! Huhu. Due to last minute additions, we nearly had to sit on each other's laps to fit the total pax, but luckily the waitress found us an extra table. T

Wet Market Celebrities: Yam Queen

IMG_8747 Swiped from mswine . Overheard at the Taman United Wet Market: Lady: Erm, do you know how to make wu tao kau yuk (braised pork with yam)? Vege Seller: Yeah. Lady: The yam need to steam first ah? Vege Seller: Not steam la. Fry. Lady: Fry the whole thing then cut ah? Vege Seller: >_____________<" That woman obviously spends more of her time at the nail bar rather than the kitchen! Fry the whole thing... :S. Oh my... I suddenly have a hankering for wu tao kau yuk .

Slippery Cyan

Image
In my room, I have a colour box where I keep my lube. In there is my favourite Durex Play and several other silicone oil-based lubes that were a gift from a good friend in Germany. For some reason, I prefer the water-based variety. Feels slicker and more slippery in comparison. And no matter how light it is, silicone oil still has that greasy feel. One day, I opened the cabinet to find that the blue tube was upside down. Perhaps I had put like that the other day, I thought to myself. Then the other day, while my mum was cooking, the truth came to light: "Aiyoh, the Cyan ah. After his bath, sure go up to your room and open your cabinet. He left it open the other day. I warned him that you would be angry if he didn't close it." Opppsss... Now I know that my little nephew had been removing my lube and playing with it while I'm at work. :S. Luckily my condoms are elsewhere!

Shaggy (Not The Rapper!)

Image
KH prefers me to have short hair. No idea why. Personal preference. During my last trip to Singapore, I did not find the time to see my stylist, so my hair was thick and had a good length ( sounds like I'm talking about something else, XD ). When we made love, my hair poked him in the eyes a couple of times ( while some other poking was going on ). Now that I've dyed my hair, I'm gonna put off my haircut for several more weeks cause my colour can only survive 3.5 haircuts. Hehe. My baby will have to suffer my shaggy look for a bit longer! You don't mind right, baby? P.S.: Sorry la, cameras don't focus well on hair in macro mode!

Under-organized

Image
My undergarments are all over the place. And I don't mean that I leave my underwear in strangers' rooms all over KL. They fill two small drawers to the brim and I have to use the bottom of my wardrobe to house the rest. Basically it's unorganized. In heaps. So I decided to make things more systematic to make it easier for me to find the desired type of underwear and make sure that all my babies are rotated. Completely cleared the drawers and started grouping by briefs and boxer briefs / square-cut trunks / boxers. Then I put the the recently-laundered items to one side. Then to make things more visible and to save space, I roll each pair and store it laterally. Now my drawer looks like a box of roses! :P. Took the opportunity to retire some unworn items too, like the jockstraps and pouch that I don't fancy wearing. Some are a bit too tight at the thighs ( celaka ), so I put them away until the day I gain sexier thighs. *sniff sniff*. Hopefully I can stick to this system

Sunday Personalities

Image
Taiping Mali Cafe Swiped from williamnyk . Having attended vigil mass, we had Sunday morning free. SK, mum and I headed out to Bandar Puteri Puchong to see what's the fuss about at Taiping Mali Cafe . After trying it, I really don't understand why it's always full house there. Mediocre at best. Mum ordered their nasi lemak . It was not a chef's recommendation, so BIG MISTAKE. Even the recommended items are mediocre, what would one expect, right? To be honest, it was a sorry excuse for nasi lemak . The rice tasted funny. The sambal cannot even be called sambal ! It was a whole bunch of onions in chilli oil. Super salah ! The saving grace was the yellow sticky rice with curry chicken. It was quite good. The soft-boiled egg on toast also couldn't make it. The overly done yolk literally stood out on toast like a sore thumb. Forunately, the coffee was quite good. Very smooth. I also see a lot of people ordering the mee rebus and chee cheong fun with yam cake. Both

St. Iggy Saturday

Image
Black Money Swiped from Brian Howell . Went to the market on Saturday with a few surprises in store. Firstly, DBKL contractors were clearing the bushes at the Taman United Market. I did not want to walk near as they were swinging 2-feet long machetes above head level. With people bustling below them, it was just like a freak accident waiting to happen. Don't worry, no "Final Destinaton" scene happened, but they did find some 'treasure' in the bushes! If you guessed snake... then you're wrong. It was a packet of Black Money. It's sad that people get sucked into these kind of scams. Greed is a strong thing and it overrides logic! Even the scratch-and-win schemes are alive and well along Jalan Tun Sambanthan. Ish. At the OUG market, a shady Malay guy was selling boxes of American Ginseng wrapped in brown paper packages. "Suka hati you nak bayar berapa la..." Can you imagine buying such a thing? Eeek. Breakfast was at Kuchai Lama. The famous

Alma Mater

Power to the People Swiped from foundphotoslj . An old ex-coursemate gave me a call out of the blue the other night. No, not to sell anion-spewing maxipads but to catch up. Kay was one the girls from the group ten friends who made up my clique in UM. The rest had drifted away... with the exception of Mel who constantly keeps in touch with me. We've been through good times and bad times. Among my uni-mates, Kay is the more outspoken one. Assertive. Confident. Your typical I-know-what-want KL girl. Once in a while she would call and inform me how things were going on in her life. Sometimes it would feel like she's blowing her trumpet, but I guess that's the way she is. Heh. It has been a long time since I've seen her. Since her wedding years ago actually. Perhaps we should catch up in person one of these days. For several times now she has been snooping into my private life... hinting about a certain someone . Who's the special girl or guy ? I don't thin

A Grey-Brown Affair

Image
Lunch Swiped from williamnyk . Sunday mass as usual. Went to the earlier session so that we can catch an early appointment with the hairstylist at Michael & Guys , One Utama. Breakfast was at the famous charsiew wantan mee at Restoran 747 . Took up DiGi's 50% off hair services promotion. Told the stylist, YV that I want brown, but nothing too subtle. She flipped her colour chart here and there and went to the back to get the dye ready. After washing my hair, her assistant put the BLUE gunk on my hair ends. She told me not to worry about the colour. Then she put a rotating heater over my head. A halo with a skewed axis. For a while there, I felt like Mayuri-sama's Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō. Later on, they coloured the roots and let it set again. At the end, the assistant did some rubbing washed everything off and brought me back to my seat. Before the towel was removed from my head, YV came back and showed us what colour she used. It was grey. Swiped from sheryldesig

Sign on the Dotted Line
