Find My Dad

Image
Due to her connections, mum got some free preview tickets to the movie "Find My Dad" / "平平安安". The event was organized by Asia Tropical Films and among the invitees were Semarak Kasih Selangor, Malaysian Spring Single Mother’s Society and Beautiful Gate Foundation for The Disabled. Even YB Teresa Kok was there to lend her support for the local film industry. Euho is the director with a mix actors and actresses from several countries. The star is Mini Bin from Taiwan who plays the kid who is looking for his dad. Jeanette Aw from Singapore's The Little Nyonya plays his mother, while Yise Loo ( Malaysian singer ) plays his aunt. And throw in Victor Wong of Michael & Victor fame and Hong Kong's Hayu to complete the rojak . Before the movie started, they warned us that it was a tear-jerker. Some parts of the plot were a bit far-fetched, but there were some funny moments. Some parts of the movie was filmed around Old Klang Road, so it was fun for me to spot

Audit Acting

Image
On Friday, my whole team was stationed at Bandar Utama for an audit. A requirement for my company to keep its special tax status. Since the registered address is at group HQ, we had to pretend that we work there. I had to follow up with the admin people to make sure that they prepared a 'clearly-designated working area' for us. Admin: I think we cannot get cubicles for you because a whole bunch of people would need to move their desktops and reconfigure their network. Can you use one of the small meeting rooms instead? Moi: Since you put it like that, no choice lo. I check with my COO. Admin: Don't say no choice. Not we cannot do. Just asking. ( fuiyoh, cover ka cheng mode! ) *** Admin: I've prepared an island with 8 seats. Another two at the side. Moi: Thanks. Can I check with you whether the cubicle has a clip where I can affix a sign? Admin: I think you better come over to Bandar Utama now to make sure everything is in order. ( wahseh, already 5:00 PM

A Belated Account of a Belated Birthday

Image
Been ages since I met Nicky05. Perhaps more than half a year. Gave him a shout-out on our What's App group and demanded his presence for dinner. Surprisingly, he agreed! We met at KLCC and later walked over to Ozeki Tokyo Cuisine at Menara TA One. Due to redevelopment works, they had moved inside. Over dinner, both of us exchanged super belated birthday gifts. Mine was 8 months overdue and his was about 4 months ago. He got me a pair of sports shorts from Private Structure. Perfect. Treated that fella to dinner. Shared a dinner set and a diamond roll. And they had a 15% discount for their 15th anniversary. EJ joined us later at Azzurro Cafe , The Pavilion ( can't believe I trudged so far after a heavy dinner ). Also been a while since I saw him. Seemed thinner than I remembered, but he insists that he had grown fatter. That coming from someone who gyms and skips dinner. Nicky05 was nice enough to treat us coffee! Yay.

Right as Rain

Now and then, interesting ( and oft times random ) people connect with me on FB. Some of them are resourceful blog readers who somehow manage to track down my profile. Rainy is one of those people. Been chatting with him on FB Messenger for months before we finally met up for dinner. At first we checked out Taste Enclave, but he chose Fatboy's The Burger Bar in the end. Felt that was more non- halal perhaps. He ordered The Elvis which contained pork, bacon, peanut butter and bananas, all of which he liked. Unfortunately, he complained that the peanut butter overpowered the whole combination. Rainy had plenty of stories about his homophobic and holier-than-thou colleagues. And his many encounters from Grindr and Jack'd provided much juicy conversation. Easier when the other party has something to talk about. No need to worry about awkward lulls in the conversation. After dinner, we took the train home together, but he got off at a much earlier station than me. Some people

LRT Celebrities: Arena Aaron

This cutie got on the train at the same time with me during morning rush hour at Bukit Jalil. Judging from his attire and wet hair, he had just finished his morning swim. A student at the sports academy perhaps since he had some sort of Majlis Sukan Negara tag tied to his knapsack. I can imagine him in tiny Arena swim trunks. :). Although the first pic hints that the has big balls ( bukak kaki besar-besar ), there are no subsequent shots that show his package peeking out from his shorts like the famous MRT shot. Peek-a-boo! Hello! Back to my phone!

The Tribe at Perth II: With the Gors

Image
Went to church with SK on Sunday. Right after English mass, we loitered at One Utama. Did some quick shopping at Uniqlo and Isetan. Surprisingly, Brian popped over after SK summoned him. That meet up lasted less than one hour before we had to rush home ( secret mission for SK ). I spent some time at SK's place and had lunch there. She cooked seafood noodles that was brimming with fish fillet, fishballs, mushrooms and scallops. In the evening, I had a swim with Brian. Seems like ages since I had a swim buddy. Monday was a holiday for me, replacement for Agong's birthday. Early in the morning, had breakfast with SK at Hawker Street KL . That was our third choice after finding Woo Pin and House of Ceggo closed. Tried their premium CKT and seriously was quite impressed. Went on to Midvalley Megamall after that. Lifebook joined us for a short walk before stopping at Jamaica Blue for coffee. The three of us had a long talk there. Our lunch was at Hanamaru Udon , a sister res

The Tribe at Perth I: Le Pont

Mum and The Tribe left for Perth on Thursday night. It was a huge rombongan with my BIL's family. Sounds like a perfect opportunity for KH and I to spend some quality time right? Wrong! He too flew off on Thursday night to London! Poor will.i.am. was abandoned in KL. Sniff sniff. On the first Saturday alone, I had a wantan noodles breakfast at Restoran Kong Kee . The pitiful portion of noodles and meat really put me off. Went over to SK's place at noon to keep an eye on her grandma for short period while she went out to do some chores. When she returned, we went out to our chiropractic appointment at OUG. Another amazing session of dry needling with the therapist. This time, she sent jolts of down my leg. Yikes. And also discovered a tightness in my left hip flexors. Told me to do more stretches and I would be seeing her in a fortnight. While leaving the treatment centre, I noticed a new signboard along Old Klang Road-- Le Pont Boulangerie . Turns out the place was newly-op

Mitsui Boh Sui

Woke up bright and early on Saturday morning not because I wanted to do taichi or jack off, but because ... I had enough sleep. A sign of age and no thanks to the continued stiffness in my back. Lazed in bed till it was time to have breakfast nearby. SK, KH, Lifebook and Brian had arrived after 9PM. We ate at the nearby Restoran Fei Wang . The highlight of the meal was a jar of tauchu that SK passed around the table. Contained a thick concoction of birds nest supplied by Lifebook. Yummy. Now we know his beauty secret. Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA Sepang opened on that Saturday without much fanfare but with a lot of 'fireworks'. The journey there took roughly half an hour. Would have been faster if not for the bottleneck at Taman Equine. Plenty of parking was still available when we arrived. First thing we realized about the place was the many closed lots. Close to half actually. The first shops we noticed was the Isetan Outlet and a Japanese specialty store called Fan. Ther

JJ's Birthday

Image
Sunday saw me having lunch with SK and mum at Fish & Co. , Paradigm Mall after mass. Been ages since I actually had their seafood platter. Used to oooh-ahhh over it. Now they have diversified into chicken and pizza. Seems that it is never enough to specialize. End of the day, dropping sales force restaurants to diversify their menus. A gamble. Kinda like Chatime which has introduced snacks on their menu. The girls went shopping after that. A fruitful trip. Stopped for some coffee at Pacific Coffee before leaving for home. As usual, made a quick stopover at Giant BK5 to get some salmon steaks for the kids. Saw something in the chiller that brought back childhood memories: "Chicken Bishop Nose". Hahaha. The ass la . The original popcorn chicken. Deep-fried and served in paper bags. I give them 5 Clogged Arteries. In the evening, we had a dinner date with Jaded Jeremy and his hubby, Bunny. KH told them 6:30PM, but told us 7:00PM. So the poor birthday boy waited

Hair & Coffee

Image
Mum cancelled her Saturday marketing to get her hair permed at Salak South. Since she was out fixing her hair, I made an appointment with my stylist too. Managed to catch him right after his holiday trip to HK. Complained that it rained the whole time he was there. Managed to meet KH after my haircut at Citrus Park, OUG. He had just finished a hike at Bukit Gasing. That silly boyfriend of mine actually went to do such a strenuous activity just a few days after recovering from his sickness. Told me he saw stars at the top of the hill. Lack of common sense. Ish. He was fine by the time he saw me ( perhaps seeing me was therapeutic LOL ). Anyway, he accompanied for lunch at Nando's . And we later went to Doors Cafe for coffee. I was very happy with their latte that day. Camwhored with KH, trying out the voice-controlled shutter feature of his LG G2. Two idiots shouting kimchi to get their photo taken. Wakakaka.

On Your Back Please

Image
Since before my Penang trip, I had been waking up with a stiff back. Noticed that my foam mattress had kinda developed a crater in the middle, so I guess that's the source of my problems. During my days in Penang, the stiffness went away. And when I came home, the pain returned. Obviously my mattress was to blame. Quickly went to source for a new mattress and bed frame ( it crashed during sex once! ). Unfortunately, the bed took some time to arrive. The wait was excruciating cause my back pain got worse. Would wake up one to two hours before my alarm due to the discomfort. -_-". During the day, I would be fine. But the stiffness would return in the morning. The problem had dragged on for too long. Even after the mattress arrived ( pocket spring with latex top ), my pain continued. Decided to visit the chiropractor to get to the bottom of things. Visited Green Chiropractic at Medan Klang Lama 28 with SK and KH. Impressed by their elevator from Schindler that had a lighted
