Cream , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Believe it or not, I started 2013 by doing OT. SK picked me up and we went to get KH. Broke fast together at Restoran MCP . Was hankering for some curry noodles. After that, they dropped me at work while they proceeded to KLCC for some jalan-jalan . During lunch time, I walked over to Suria KLCC to have lunch with them at Umaiya . Surprisingly horrible service although they were hardly under-staffed. A whole lot of standing around and doing the wrong thing. Just to get green tea, we had to holler thrice. And one waitress even came with the pot, only to realize that we did not even have cups! Exasperating. Still full from breakfast, I just ordered a snow roll. Maki dusted with dessicated coconut, with a minty after-taste. Very interesting. Halfway through our meal, SK received a call from Umaiya confirming her ealier reservation, to which she sarcastically replied, "I'm already in the restaurant, EATING". What a bunch of idiots

Bacon , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Note: My back posts have finally crawled to the edge of 2012! Bear with me a while more. Worked on New Year's eve but at least I did not do any OT. Left sharp at 5:45pm and met KH at the LRT station. From Sri Petaling station, SK fetched me home, while they proceeded to secure our table at The Pork Place , IOI Boulevard. After mum got read, we drove out to the restaurant. Took us some time to locate the restaurant because we had parked in the basement car park and once we got out we didn't know which side of the square the restaurant was on. Attempts to ask the security guards were returned with blank stares. Useless. But we did manage to find it after one wrong guess. The gang was already there with the exception of Parco and Briyani. I sat in between KH and mum. Huhu. Reminds me of a classic Indonesian song with the following lyrics: Madu di tangan kanan mu; Racun di tangan kiri mu . Food wasn't all great and they were short-hand

Fish , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Sunday was pretty uneventful. Didn't have to crack my head thinking about where to have lunch that day because SK invited mum and I over for lunch. The occassion? Cause Lifebook was coming over too. The clever fellow bought SK a pressure cooker and with that comes with free nutrituous soup. In addition to the lotus root soup, SK also whipped up her trademark marmite pork ribs, french beans with fishballs and stewed siakap with ginger. Lazed around and chatted over hot bowls of barley and beancurd skin while watching a supernatural Taiwanese series in Hokkien. Totally entertaining. Wonder if I can find it on torrent. Later in the afternoon, I looked KH up for some pool activity. Wore my white trunks and I think one of the mothers gave me a second look. :P. Swam with him for several laps before it started raining heavily. Bah! In the evening, I scheduled a belated birthday dinner with Mel. Surprise guests came with her, namely her hubby ( da

fresh foot stain , swiped from azmirahrouge on Flickr. Recently, mum bought a pair of GoodArch shows for a whopping sum of MYR2,980! She didn't even go to the shop. The saleswoman just did it on the side at the neigbourhood mini market. Amazing. At least another three aunties bought it. Basically they are orthotic shoes. Just by stepping on a special inkpad, they manage to get the contour of your foot. And based on that, they manufacture customized insoles for you. On Saturday, I fetched mum and a neighbour to their HQ in Seri Petaling. The initial directions I was given was that the place faced a housing area and was nearby the night market. Great. That's about anywhere in Seri Petaling. Anyway, I managed to get better directions after calling the PIC. The place was large. Three shoplots combined. And it was crawling with customers ( old and young alike ). Every ten minutes, the doorbell would ring. And the place was very 'Chinese', rightly so since the product is mad

Wallet , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Note: This post induces severe hunger pangs. You have been warned. On Christmas morning, I handed mum her gift-- a blue, long leather wallet with a girly bow on the front. Guess she liked it because the started migrating the stuff from her old wallet right away! Haha. Went out for breakfast with SK and her granny while mum stayed at home to do some chores and freshen up. Just a simple wantan mee . I notice that I've been eating a lot of that of late. Around 11:00am, we got dressed and headed to Levain for brunch. It was actually a farewell outing for CK's housemate CY. She was leaving before the year was out, bound for the United States. After learning of my plans for Christmas, KH was a little upset that I did not invite him. So, he arranged for Apollo to pick him up and voila, we had my boyfriend and mother sitting at the same table ( we actually changed tables twice ). Think I was sweating a bit. As expected, Levain was the usual

Pan Mee Breakfast , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On Sunday night: fired up my laptop > chose my Jap porn du jour > spanked the monkey > cleaned up > went downstairs for a drink of water > came back up and found that my lappie was dark! Tried some troubleshooting by removing the battery and etc, but it still wouldn't start up. Just blinked a bit and went silent. I'm pretty sure I didn't shower the lappie with my jizz causing it to shortcircuit and die! Oh well. The next morning, went out early with SK to get it looked at. Stopped at TTDI's Restoran Kuan Lee to have pan mee . The uncle's finally out of the hospital and back in business. Parked at KPMG Tower and went looking for the service centre. Think the place was quite new. Never noticed it there before. Didn't even have a signboard. Manned by a bitchy looking support staff ( she earlier barked at an IBM employee, telling him that the in-house support's on the 18th floor ). She asked

curlers , swiped from gaetano pavano on Flickr. Sunday was quite uneventful. Church as usual. But right after mass my mum told me that she wanted to perm her hair. But she did not make an appointment! She always does this. Same goes for facials. Luckily for her, the Creative Director at A-Saloon IOI Mall took her in although she had four customers in concurrence. Another gamble. The stylist who did her hair last year had resigned and this woman was unproven. If she dislikes the outcome, she can go on and on and on and on... Had a quick lunch at Next Station . SK joined us for some marmite pork ribs rice ( sedap ) and seafood kuay teow ( very wet ). Got mum settled in and we went around the mall for an hour. I was feeling a little feverish again, so we sat down at Koong Woh Tong for some herbal jelly. Went to SK's place after that for a nap after popping a Paracetamol. At about 5:00pm, SK dropped me back at the mall. Mum was done by then ( thank God she was satisfied with the cur

Coconut , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Went to wet market as usual on Saturday but it was horribly lacking in parking that day. Turned around and around and around before I found a spot. Was also sick that day. After more than a week of trying to evade a skulking sore throat, it had finally jumped on stage to start its Gogo Boy show. Bought some coconut water to accompany my breakfast of charsiew wantan noodles. In the afternoon, I bought tickets for "The Hobbit" at Tropicana City Mall at 2:10pm. I had forgotten that KH's mum had arranged for a massage session him at 4:30pm for him. Naturally, he chose me over the massage. LOL. And his mum wasn't happy. Oppps. Another MIL and SIL clash! Found some time to have lunch, so we chose the nearest restaurant to the cinema-- Taiwan Street . Simply ordered their braised duck rice. Lucky for and lucky for them, it was delicious. A generous portion of braised duck and it even came with some stewed tendon and kimchi . The

Ronin , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On Friday, I met KH for a lunch date at Menya Musashi on Jalan P. Ramlee. Always wanted to try it as their staff seem so pumped up. Must be high on some kind of samurai weed. Manned partly by Japanese and Pinoys. An interesting mix of nationalities. Seeing something different on their menu, I immediately went for their Kanzan Tsukemen , basically a dipping style ramen . Like a soba , but the soup is much thicker, kinda like a concentrated gravy. Found it very flavourful and too salty even for my Cantonese taste buds. And good news for the big eaters, one can order up to 2.5 times the usual noodle portion for free. I tried 1.5 and couldn't finish it. On the other hand, KH ordered the Kanzan Ramen . FYI, the noodles were different from mine. Much thinner than the tsukemen and not as hard. And KH also chose the fish stock option. Amazingly a spoonful of granules can infuse such a strong aroma of fish, but not in an overpoweringly fishy w

Golden , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Sunday was quite busy. Went to church and had lunch with mum. At 3:00pm, sent mum and my nephew to the 1Malaysia Muhibbah Christmas Party at Vivatel. Fronted by Breath of God Church but obviously with government backing. In case you can't guess, that's the hotel at Viva Home. Quite a horrible time getting there because for Besraya was jammed for no good reason and we were stuck in Serdang old town for half an hour before managing to make a detour. Thank goodness for Waze! Saved us more heartache and mental stress. But still, it was a little too late as SK already developed a headache. The stupid hotel is located just before Viva Home, at the back of the building. Right beside the loading bays. Classy. And you can't drive through the lobby. You have to U-turn out as there is still some construction going on. WTF right? When I arrived, a heavily-tinted Alphard was behind us. A VVIP no doubt. As I struggled to escape the lobby, seven

Frown , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Hi guys and gals. Been some time since I had an offering for my LRT Celebrities segment. Truth be told, it has been a bit dry on the LRT of late. Today I present you with Mole Mike ( suddenly I'm thinking about the mole jokes from Austin Powers ), the first LRT Celebrity of 2013! Has a very macho, angular Cina-ness to him and look at the veins on his left arm. I'm a sucker for toned arms. Too bad I couldn't get a better angle of him. Quite a challenge when he's standing smack dab in front of me. I have lots of headless pics of him if you're interested. LOL. Hope 2013 has been kind to all of you so far. Muacks.

Bear , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. A success story among the BFF seem to be Janvier and The Chief. They have made to sleeping under their own roof with seeming approval ( or lack of disapproval ) from their parents. A natural progression I guess, but not an easy task. I salute them. On Saturday night, SK, KH and I ( our first appearance as a couple after KH's return ) ventured to Setia Alam for their housewarming cum Christmas party. Basically three main groups-- The Chief's family, Janvier's boardgame kakis and the BFF. Food was exceptionally curry. Pre-packed nasi lemak with double curry chicken, roast turkey with cranberry sauce and assorted Malay kuih . The turnout was quite good, where one could even categorize it as a BFF reunion. Surprise guests AlexanderTheGay and CarpeDiem. Been ages since I saw them. And DanielH came sporting a half-done, still bloody tattoo covered under shrink wrap. A cool design of a cross surrounded by roses. Legolas was dressed in
