Patrick Star , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Saturday morning saw me at NSK Trade City. Did the usual rounds of marketing and breakfast at Restoran MCP . Filled the lazy Saturday afternoon with a screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides". Not bad la. The preacher should have stripped off his shirt sooner. Later in the evening, I had a dinner appointment with a reclusive VIP. Mr. X was back in town in a shroud of secrecy. SK and I were warned not to breath a word of his visit! At about 6:00pm, we picked him up and we went for a steamboat buffet dinner at Shabu Shabu House . The moment he stepped into my car, SK nearly gasped for air due to his musky EDT. She actually wound down the window. LOL. He was a bit apprehensive about the dinner venue, but after being told that there was air conditioning, he was reassured. Putera Lilin . He looked pretty much the same ( dressed in a tight A&F T again! ). Hunky as always. And he was kind enough to bring me yumm

Flip-flops for the Dead , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Went to the market on Saturday after a short hiatus and found that Ching Ming preparations were in full swing. Paper prayer items for the dead were piled high. All the latest gadgets were available. "Miss... this is any massage chair... this is THE massage chair! 天王椅. You know or not?!" The latest from OSIM and promoted by Andy Lau no less. Had a quick breakfast at an alley and went home a little earlier to escape the morning sun! It was hot that day. Went home for a while before going out again for lunch at Mek T , Puchong Jaya. This time round we tried her nasi sokmo ( kinda like nasi briyani with two pieces of stewed chicken, egg and curried pineapples ), laksa Terengganu ( the noodles did not have a good texture and the gravy wasn't hot enough ) and kar pek hu sah ( a white, steamed variety of keropok lekor that is 90% fish meat! ). With our bellies filled with the East coast goodies, we drove over to IO

Breakfast & Tea Time , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Come Friday, my boss was still on leave so I told him that I would clear another day of replacement leave. Took the chance to do some banking chores at Maybank after a breakfast of nasi lemak . Was kinda pissed at the service provided at the Taman Equine branch. It was practically devoid of customers that morning and the customer service officer kept harping that my mother needs to fill up her ASNB form before proceeding. I just flashed him a form that I had previously filled up. Annoying. At the counter, we told the teller that we would like to try for 5000 units of ASM. As she was keying in the transaction, she asked for my mother's identification card and the cash withdrawal slip. I was like, "Wah! So lucky ah today, managed to buy so many units". Then tengok-tengok she said no units available. So stupid right? Why bother ask for all the supporting documents if you can't even secure the transaction? And

Terengganu Goodies , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Since my boss was not in the office on Wednesday, I notified him that I would be taking half a day of replacement leave in the afternoon. Packed up and took the LRT down to Bukit Jalil. In my blur state, I took the Ampang train instead of the Seri Petaling train and ended up in Miharja. Crap! I got off and went to the other platform to catch the train back up to Chan Sow Lin. I boarded the next train that arrived. And you know what? I went back down to Miharja!!! Double crap! I noticed a gweilo making the same mistake. During my second time at Chan Sow Lin, I made sure I boarded the correct train. Ugh. What a waste of time and money. At Bukit Jalil, I had to waste more time walking to the parking lot near Stadium Putra due to the stupid Proton Power of 1 exhibition. By the time I picked SK up, it was already 2:00pm. Lunch was at Restoran Mek T at Puchong Jaya. A fast food style joint for Terengganu food. Owned by a Chinese lady,

The Milk Tea Craze , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. KH recently came back to KL to attend a friend's wedding. Since Friday evening, we were unable to schedule a meet-up, though a short one. In the end, we met up on Monday. I had took leave to spend the day with him and celebrate his birthday. In all our years together, I don't think I had properly celebrated his birthday, so this was a good opportunity. Timing was good. Surprisingly, the traffic was excellent on Monday, so I arrived at KH's place at around 9:00am, much earlier than expected. Was supposed to bring him to Woo Pin at Taman Desa, but I forgot that it was their off day! Thank goodness I had plan B-- House of Ceggo . Shared their special bitter gourd pan mee. The soup base was very good and was wafting with the aroma of rice wine and ginger egg omelette. Loved it. After that, we went over to RT Bakery to buy some bread for SK. But I guess we were too early. Their bread was hot from the oven and couldn'

... , swiped from Leigh Righton on Flickr. The ten days in KPJ Damansara were not pretty for SK. Bad wardmate - the Indian woman watched Bollywood day and night at full blast and talked on the phone loudly. SK paid an extra MYR80 a night and upgraded herself to the single room. Food was crappy and the portion was pathetic - tofu in porridge :( Spinal leakage - her procedure had caused a leakage in her spinal membrane, so the pressure in her skull dropped, causing her brain to sag. And that caused a host of problems ranging from severe headaches, nausea and weird sensory perception. The whole time, she could not sit up or stand for long. On Saturday morning, mum and I brought her breakfast and packed off most of her luggage because she was gonna be discharged later in the afternoon. After lunch, Lifebook came to pick her up and send her home. True to the usual sui -ness, Prudential's system was down and she could not settle her insurance claim. But she paid a deposit and left anywa

Silent Scream , swiped from Charlie Barker ♥ on Flickr. On and off along the week, Briyani Blue Sky and I would visit SK at the hospital. Luckily Briyani stayed close to the hospital, so he would normally pack her dinner after work. One day as I was walking from Bukit Jalil station to the car park to get my car, I received a distress call from SK. It was a whole lot of screaming and yelling and yelps of pain! Kinda like childbirth! Yikes! Confirming that she had already called the nurse, I quickly drove over to Damansara Kim in the rain. Halfway there, she informed me that she had stopped shivering and cramping after the nurse gave her an injection. Phew! By the time I had arrived, Briyani was already there, sporting his.. ahem... pai kia haircut. Completely shave both sides, leaving an unruly mop top above. :P. Definitely an attention-getter at his brother's wedding. Asked the nurse what happened and she explained that she ran a high fever of 39 degrees ( ! ) so the doctor presc

Drip , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On Saturday, mum and I went for breakfast at Restoran Fei Wang and tapau -ed curry noodles ( she was never known as one to jaga makan ) for SK. Bumped into my sister, so we ate together. Reached the hospital at about 10:00am. SK's headache seemed to have gotten worse and had to lie down all the time. Trips to the loo would give her a killer headache. She ate just a little bit of the noodles. Amazingly, her ex-company sent flowers and fruits in a beautiful basket. Before noon, we left her to rest and mum went home to fry some battered sandwiches of new year cakes with sweet potato and yam. Yummy! For lunch, we ate leftover curry noodles and some of the yummy snacks. In the afternoon, mum went out for her society meeting. I just stayed at home fiddling on my laptop. Mum came home at about 5:00pm and she told me that a check on the EC's website found that she was still registered to vote in Kuantan. She had updated her IC address ages ago

Dr. Azizi , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Note: This happened four weeks ago today! SK was scheduled to undergo a nucleoplasty on Thursday morning, so she checked herself into KPJ Damansara on Wednesday. Unfortunately for her, nobody checked out on that day leaving her stranded there for hours. Reaching her limit, she unleashed her bitchiness and got checked into a twin sharing room. Later that night, I took the PUTRA line down to the Kelana Jaya station. Subsequently, I hailed a cab to Damansara Kim. The taxi driver was a sixty year old Teo Chew Lang who told me of his perfect vision. He thought I was a doctor. I told him that if I was a doctor, I wouldn't be hailing a cab. Due to the scarcity of rooms, Sk's room was at the pediatric ward. Plenty of kids running around and their worried parents doting on them. As usual, SK story me all the peningness that happened during the day. I also found out that her doctor would do a disectomy if her condition was found to

Mum bought a pair of chili red pants from Ms. Read, Midvalley last week but she suddenly decided that she did not like the colour. So after mass, we braved the horrible traffic jam around Midvalley Ring Road and inside the parking lot to make an exchange. By the time we got in, it was already 1:30pm. Walked out of the elevator near Yuzu only to receive SK's message that she was there with Gratitude. Since we had not eaten, mum and I decided to gatecrash their party. Turns out that they were in a private room with TZ, Evan, Bear and Pikey! I shared a cha soba and nigiri sushi set with mum. Was quite filling. The conversation was primarily about the CSL-LGE debate. LOL. Didn't tarry as we were rushing for time. Quickly got the brown pants and left for home. By the time we reached home, it was already half past three and that meant that we were thirty minutes late for my neighbour's daughther's third birthday party! Sis, BIL and Cyan had also arrived already. Wrapped u

Pu Tien , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Marketing did not happen last Saturday because mum went to her society's post-CNY function. Several DAP leaders were supposed to grace the event, but none of them turned up undoubtedly due to the CSL-LGE debate that was scheduled later that night. At about a quarter past eleven, SK picked me up and we went off to One Utama for lunch. We ate at Pu Tien with Lifebook, his niece and his old friend, H ( a perfect example of awet muda ). Lots of unconventional stuff on the menu. SK chose some favourites she had tasted in Singapore and some new items-- braised pork intestines ( layers and layers of goodness ), garlic chili cockles ( not for me! ), fried yam pillows ( a nice aroma but the sauce was too sweet ), sweet and sour century egss ( done up like ku lou yuk ), fried heng hua bihun ( a signature dish ), mee suah and fried tapioca noodles ( my mouth was tired from chewing! ). Overall the food was OK and not too expensive, but I kinda

Wedgie Risk , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Here's something that caught my eye during lunch at Wisma Central... This guy had his shirt tucked into his underwear. =_=". I've not seen something like this since my primary school days. Luckily it wasn't some dingy generic brief. At least it was Renoma. :D. Enjoy.

Fukuharu , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On Sunday, mum and I skipped morning mass and went for breakfast at the nearby coffee shop. Shared a big bowl of wantan noodles. At about half past noon, SK fetched us to Jalan Ampang to have lunch at Fukuharu , TERRACE @ Hock Choon. The place was quite deserted with only three tables occupied. Ordered two lunch sets and an omakase sashimi . One set was unagi tempura and the other was mixed tempura . The sets came with mini kaiseki dishes that comprised off a very yummy jumbo grilled prawn, vegetable nimono , garden salad, potato salad, chawanmushi , salmon sashimi and vanilla ice cream with black sesame sauce. Loved the black sesame sauce a lot! Wangi giler! Perfect for the hot day. I told KH that I was eating at Fukuharu and this was the What's App message that came: "I wanna eat with baby there. Then later fuku. Hehe. Want or not?" Looks like somebody was very horny. After lunch, we ventured down to The Gard

MJ the Clown , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Mel's son Cameron turned one recently and she threw him a big her party at her home. Invitations went out to her close friends and family. As a result, my whole clan turned up-- mum, sis, BIL, SK and little Cyan. Arrived at 7:00pm and Mel was seen rushing here and there seeing to the preparations, sweating profusely in her beautiful salwar kameez. She immediately ushered us inside and offerend us alcohol. No children's party is complete without Dewar's. Haha. The caterers had not finished setting up and the clown had not arrived. Yes, you read right, a clown. For just MYR300, you buy two hours of distraction for the kids. At 7:30pm, the clown finally made his appearance ( actually he had came at 5:00pm to do recon work. Wow... ). "The clown is called MJ. He told me he does Michael Jackson impersonations too. I told him not to do any of that nonsense at my party." And you know what? He made his appearance with Mic

Preparing breakfast , swiped from khairilfz on Flickr. Picked up SK from the hospital after church and had a Korean lunch nearby. Quite lousy discharge procedures. With just three patients checking out that day, they moved like it was thirty patients. So much for their new management. Entered their "Choose My Hospital of Choice Contest" and hopefully we would get something put of the whole ordeal! Immediately after getting out of her hospital clothes, SK wanted to do some shopping!Tangs @ The Pavillion was moving out so they were having a big clearance of up to 80%. And SK had a birthday voucher that she needed to collect. Out we went to Bukit Bintang to see if there were any bargains to found. For the first time ever, available parking at The Pavillion was zero. Zilch. Went down to B3 and back up to B2 to park at some illegal spot. The number of people with Tangs carrier bags proved that it would be promising. We joined the fray. I didn't buy anything from the men's

This is a follow up post from my Nagi post. Sho is another favorite of GV producerr COAT WEST. I usually see him as a top but on rare occassions, he could be seen penetrated by Nagi and Hikaru. What's hotter than seeing a hunk being on the receiving end once in a while? His body is never very defined, but he is definitely sexy. Kinda like Johan Paulik of Bel Ami fame.

O2 , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Note: A late post... Not related to SK's current hospitalization :S SK had been coughing and coughing and coughing and wheezing for a week plus without respite. Since the GP couldn't do anything for her, the next logical step would be to visit the specialist. The diagnosis-- bronchitis. According to the doctor, with her breathlessness and if she was any older, she would most probably had collapsed way earlier. They hooked her up on oxygen and steroids. And yeah, she was immediately warded. After I came back from the office, I took a cab to Taman Desa Medical Center. Waltzed in with a packet of vegetarian tomyum noodles as she was not thrilled with the hospital food. The staff were extra nice. Fake smiles all over the place. Felt a bit weird. Must be some new management directive. And I guess they can afford to be nice when there was only eighteen patients at that time. Hardly over-worked. Took her car and went back to her apartment to pac

Argument , swiped from gilmarcil on Flickr. Note: A little story perfect for this Lenten season At the AHP Building Maybank branch: A Malay woman was using the only cheque deposit machine in service. She had a stack in her hand and was busy sorting out the next cheque to feed into the machine. A Chinese woman suddenly burst into the branch and said in the bitchiest tone she could muster: "PLEASE don't hog the machine!" The Malay woman rolled her eyes. Turned to face her with a fake smile and let her use the machine. "OFFLINE?! How come offline?!" Patiently, the Malay woman guided her which button to press. Apparently the Chinese woman did not know how to operate it. The Malay woman continued to patiently help her key in the required fields. Not feeling so high and mighty anymore, she meekly replied: "Thanks a lot... You can use the machine now." She swallowed her pride and rushed out. It is amazing what a little kindness can do. Bravo to the Malay wom

IMGP4699 , swiped from § Tilly Mint § on Flickr. In case you don't know, our beloved central bank recently introduced rules to further tighten credit card spending. According to the new guidelines, people with an income of 36k per annum or lower can only own two credit cards and the credit limit should not be higher than twice the monthly income. Late last year, Citibank had already sent me an official letter highlighting the issue and asked me to submit my latest EA form. HSBC on the other hand decided to ask their Tele-sales team to give me a frantic phone call the other day. In broken English, the fellow asked me point blank what my salary was ( like I was going to entertain an unverified phone call ). I was like, "Don't I need to supply supporting documents?!", to which he said I needed to submit three months of my payslip and my EPF statement for 2011. Wow. One would think that I was applying for a 500k housing loan. I asked how why I needed to submit so many do
