Hot Cup

Vitya Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Sent HP to Puduraya, but she was unable to get any bus tickets back to Kuantan. Friday night is a bad time to travel. Since it was a failed trip, we had an unoffical celebration for SK. She finally submitted her thesis to the university for senate approval. Supper at Vitya Curry House , Taman Desa. One of the few places that serve drinks in metal cups. For hot drinks, there are two cups, one tall and one stout. One should pour the piping hot drink from the tall cup into the wider-mouthed stout cup to cool. Then drink from the latter. According to my colleague, such drinking technique is only practised in certain regions. Try it out for the novelty factor! And one more interesting trivia about Indian culture -- the people there don't really take to iced drinks. You order iced coffee and you're likely given a strange look! Hot, hot drinks for a hot, hot country.

Wild Hair Skateboarder Originally uploaded by jeffclow . Remember Avril Lavigne's "Sk8ter Boy" from a couple of years back? I listened to it on my MP3 player while commuting to work the other day and for the first time , I noticed the lyrics. And you know what? The lyrics gave me goosebumps .

Happy Easter!!! (^o^) Originally uploaded by doc18 . Had a catch-up yumcha session with CK and KK at Rabbit Cafe , Seri Petaling. I was promised by KK that it would be a nice quiet place with a great atmosphere. Well, I was had. The place was dang noisy. Two large groups were having a birthday bash. And the F&B disappointing. The ordering process was a pain. First, the variety causes your head to spin because you don't know what to have. When you DO decide, they'll tell you that this is not available, and that is not available. I was tempted to ay, "WHAT IS AVAILABLE?". I had a go at Champagne Bubble Tea. And let me tell you that a nasty blue drink came to the table tasting of bubble gum rather than champagne. I'm a sucker for weird stuff. The yam cake was also strange. Deep-fried yam paste. Golden brown on the outside, paste-like on the inside. Instead of yam, I got black-eyed peas. Standard conversation. Exchange of niceties. Mengumpat . Talk cock.

Mystery Solved

Hit, Miss, Hit Originally uploaded by cobalt123 . My web logs indicates multiple visits from 'someone' in Arizona, Phoenix. Recently, I found out 'who' that is. Drum roll....................... It's myself . Bikin malu je . Found this out after a little experimentation. The number of returning visits corresponded with the number of times I load my blog. Pengz... And I thought I had a stalker from the U.S.

MEDC 2006

medc_reg Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Attended the Microsoft Mobile & Embedded DevCon 2006 (MDEC) on Tuesday. Arrived at the Sunway Convention Centre at 8:00am. I bloody woke up at 5:30am that morning for no inconceivable reason and forced myself to sleep till 6:30am. As usual, the Sunway Toll on the LDP was jammed. People are never on their lanes. Left wants right, right wants left. Nice. Anyway, I tried to register when I received, but they couldn't seem to find my name... Usher: Good morning, sir! You're registered as a ..... ? Me: Morning. Err, I think under delegate. Usher: This way sir. What's your company name? Me: *Censored*. Usher: Ohhh, that would be at this line. (My turn arrives) cute registration girl: Good morning, sir. Your business card? Me: Morning. (I hand over my card, she struggles to find my record) cute registration girl: Can you repeat your information again sir? (I repeat myself, meanwhile another girl joins the fray) Ano

Logs

While looking through my logs today, I found that a google search for the term "Joey Wong Pantyhose" actually returned a result to my blog. Pengz. What kind of fetish is that?! Secondly, I'm wondering what is 'interesting' in Arizona, Phoenix? Hmm...

restsunsea Originally uploaded by williamnyk . It's been years since I ate the famous pork noodles at Sun Sea Restaurant @ OUG. Some people like it because it's an amalgam of pork noodles and seafood noodles, some hate it for that same fact. Oh well, can't please 'em all. Anyway, it's been nearly two years since I tasted it. And oh boy, how it has changed. The price has increased from MYR3.00 to MYR4.00 and they have stopped putting in the 'spare parts'. No wonder the aunty was so pissed when I kept reminding her that I did not want the innards. There's none to begin with. If you want liver and intestines, extra charge le... However, they're still as busy as ever. JUst look at the big collection of multi-coloured mugs, all ready for the take-out customers. See the basin of fried pork lard and money strewn on the counter... yeah, business is still thriving.

Dim Sum And Duck

Image
DuckHouse Originally uploaded by williamnyk . After church, SK and I went for a late breakfast. Our target: Dim Sum at Seri Petaling. The first stop was World of Dim Sum at Jalan Radin Anum, a place that my sister brought me years ago when I first came to KL to study. We had the standard fare of siew mai, ha gau, chu cheong fun . We would have ordered more, but the stuff was cold ! How to eat la. The food was actually good, no MSG aftertaste, good minced meat texture, but it was cold. Ugh. Feeling unsatisfied, we headed to another shop, Pan Ki, a favourite of KK's. The Dim Sum there was piping hot. Ordered 'phoenix feet', ribs, Cha Siew Bao and Wu Kok . Unfortunately, it was way too salty for m y taste. I had to wash my mouth out with water an hour after that meal. Another 'Ugh'. I still remember the best Dim Sum I had in KL was at Shangri-la. MYR9.00 a serving! Fantastic. Crystal Jade Palace in Singapore is also another good place for Dim Sum. I hear that

Note: Couldn't resist starting my post ala 'East Evil, West Poison' style. :P Had the house to myself again this weekend with mum at camp somewhere in A'Famosa, Malacca. However, I hardly spent any time at home, mostly chilling at SK and HP's place and guess what, Jusco Taman Equine again .The only moments I had at home I spent watching DVDs that my mother would have found objectionable . I really should get a DVD-ROM for my PC. Or better yet, a decent PC. There's always something to say about Jusco. This time round, I found it really a family-oriented place. Chock-full of kid. Unruly kids. Unsupervised kids. Tearing all over the store. Like some brood of mutant insects from Starship Troopers . Running around, bumping into things, lying on the floor, shouting... Don't get me wrong, I love kids, but please keep a tight leash on them. Don'

Pay Day

ATM Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Pay day for me, is on the 25th, which so happens falls on a Sunday this month. Anway, with banks working 5 day-weeks now, payroll transactions aren't performed on weekends anymore. Either on Friday or the following Monday. I just accessed my accounts internet banking site. Looks like it's gonna be Monday. :(. So leceh these days, can't do banking on weekends. Even 2 Saturdays a week is better than none. We can't do everything at self-service branches. Those machines are a blessing and a curse at the same time. For those who know how to use them, they are fast and efficient. But for those who don't, they get turned away at the counter after waiting in line. The machines don't give you attitude, but they can always be under maintenance . And ATMs always run out of money when you most need it. Perasan tak? Talking of attitude, the other day when I went to the Tiger bank to stop payment on my cheque at the branch, t

This Used To Be My Playground

IMG_1486 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . If you're all wondering, it's not my playground. That song from Madonna just suddenly came to mind. Perhaps currently I'm feeling a little bit like the girl in the picture. There's a whole selection of cool stuff on the playground, and she's just 'settled' for the dinosaur ride. But see the blank expression on her face? It's just not quite what she expected. Her legs are too long. She looks stuck. What the hell am I rambling about....

Get Lost

Get Lost Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Eye-catching isn't it? Found this at F.O.S. A corrupted version of the famous phrase from Jerry Maguire . Shut up. Just shut up.....You had me at hello. You had me at hello. Awwww. Romantis banget sih. . *rolls eyes*. Read the monologue here . T-shirts are getting more and more interesting these days. Can't beat those ah lian prints that have bad grammar and don't mean shit. And I really hate those "I'm a sex coach, first lesson free" prints. Anything interesting in your wardrobe?

Bedouin thoughts Originally uploaded by BidWiya . I finally finished both movies and I can now present my report. Sediu Ying Hung Tsun Tsi Dung Sing Sai Tsau Dung che sai duk 1993 1994 Brigitte Lin Third Princess Mu-Rong Yin / Yang Leslie Cheung Huang Yao-shi Ou-yang Feng Maggie Cheung Sage The Woman @ Ou-yang Feng's sister-in-law / lover Tony Leung Chiu Wai Ou-yang Feng Blind Swordsman Tony Leung Ka Fai Duen Long Huang Yao-shi Jacky Cheung Hung Chi Hung Chi Carina Lau Chou Po-tung Peach Blossom Joey Wong Huang Yao-shi's Sweetheart [Scenes Deleted] It's funny how nearly the same cast from the ultra-stupid version came back to do the ultra-arty version. Somehow I found "Ashes of Time" more entertaining now. Perhaps my tolerance is higher now. Their lives are all screwed up. Intertwined with each other. Everything in the story relates to Ou-yang Feng, a hitman agent. where to begin... Huang Yao-shi promises to marry Mu-Rong Yang's sister (Mu-Rong Yin),

Bent Back

Image
bentback Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Brought my mum to the Chiropractor yesterday. Complained of a stiff shoulder and neck. The doctor performed dry needling on her to loosen the muscles, and it seems that her muscles were so stiff that a few needles were bent. Scary stuff, her back had swollen areas after the whole treatment. Have to go back on Friday, hope it works. Later had dinner downstairs, a vegetarian place called Chat Masala. As you can see, the walls had nice ethnic paintings on them. The food was OK. We had chapati, thosai and rava thosai . One complaint though - the floor is *really* slippery. Luckily they have a chiropractor upstairs. Must be some kind of synergy.

Little Grasshopper

Image
At rest Originally uploaded by williamnyk . It's been ages since I've actually seen a live grasshopper. The one I photographed is either high or half-dead as I could get really close and it wouldn't even bat an eyelid, ... compound eye membrane or whatever. The memories of terrorizing grasshoppers as a kid all come flooding back to me: 1) Whack them with flying slippers 2) Immobilize them, then put them in the midst of scavenging kerengga who literally tear them to bits 3) Helping my bro stir fry them in a pan Those were the days. I wonder what kids play with these days?

Stay back!

Annoyed Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Took this photo on the Star LRT. There's obviously something not right about these two. For some unknown reason, the girl sat with her back towards the guy. Yeah, I know the guy's face memang menyampah a bit, but she acted as though the guy's a pervert or something. And the guy kept on looking at her with an annoyed expression. I don't think they're a couple, both got off at separate stations.

Father's Day

Image
Cleaned the cooker head today. Such an exotic way to start a post, huh? Nothing much happened today. Sunset mass. A quick nip over to Ikano and The Curve. Just to have a look at some furniture at Harvey Norman and visit the new MJ. Saw the ugliest handbag there. Quite quiet for Father's Day. I haven't celebrated that for 9 years now. Polishing my shoe yesterday reminded me that my late dad taught me how to do it.... Back to Mutiara Damansara. Most restaurants were empty. One table of diners at Royale Bintang was serenaded by a two violins and a cello. Too bad I couldn't get a pic. Another girl at The Curve bazaar area caught my eye. She was eating a chicken wing, but she was so intently staring at a couple that she forget about the wing in her mouth and jest let it hand there like the number '7'. Hilarious! Oh yeah, can anyone tell me what's at Cineleisure? Is it up and running? Finally supper at Old Klang Road. Had a fantastic Bak Kut Teh with lean meat, tail,

Jusco Revisited

Image
Started the day by doing chores. Ugh. Polished shoes. Washed the grimy kitchen windows. Cleaned the fan. Then it was off to a little outdoor fun. Last Thursday I braved the crowds at Jaya Jusco Taman Equine , and whaddya know, I was back at it on Saturday. This time with SK who needed to do some grocery shopping. Since my mum didn't get to buy the as advertised cheap sale household items, I decided to let my auntie-ness shine. I grabbed the four cheapest items that I needed. 1) Naturel Omega Blend Cooking Oil - MYR15.99 2) HL Fresh Milk - MYR3.50 3) LTK Omega-3 Eggs - MYR2.89 4) Sau Tou Abalone Instant Oat Noodles - MYR9.99 (premium MSG) I regretted buying the milk. I regretted trying banana flavour. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT get it in that flavour. Tastes damn artificial. Kinda like liquified cheap banana cake. Ugh. The highlight of the whole trip was an appearance by Jaya Jusco's celebrity ambassador...... Siti Nurhaliza !!!! Ho hum. All the Malay shoppers flocked to cente

Hurtling

IMG_1481 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Some extra posts today since I'm completely cut off from the internet on weekends. Just some updates about work. I've given a very good opportunity to try something new. Many new things actually. I know there's a stick, but the carrot is still quite vague. I know this sounds cryptic, as Zemien likes to say, but it is a mystery to me as well. I'm just playing along hoping that it'll pay off. However, it does entail some major role change on my part. Kinda like being thrown in the deep end of the pool after spending so long in the kiddy pool. Sink or swim? (Literally, I can't swim. :P. Been thinking of getting lessons for ages) Perhaps I've been in my comfort zone for too long. I can't help but think I've been put up to the altar . We'll see, we'll see.

Kenanga Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Berkshire Hathaway Holdings' stock is up to USD3,060.00 today. Yikes. But this pales in comparison to its price in the 90s-- a whopping USD80,000.00 . One can scarcely believe. Warren Buffet. Bukan manusia ke?

Photo-0045 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Aeon Seri Kembangan openend on Thursday after much anticipation. It is the first decent shopping mall in Bandar Putra Permai. I knew it would be a nightmare to go there on the opening day , but you know what, I went anyway. It's not like I have never been to Jaya Jusco before. It's not like there aren't better malls around. It's not like I didn't know that the roads are jammed and the parking would be hell. My sister, mum and I braved the crowds anyway. We parked nearly 1km away and walked in. You can see how bad the jam was yesterdays night through the picture I snapped. A snail's pace. I can't believe we walked that far. A serious case of sua-ku-ness . Or norak as they say in Indonesia. But I must say that Aeon Seri Kembangan has a bright future ahead of it. It's quite nice really, reminiscent of Alamanda Putrajaya. Most of the tenants are from the established franchises and it does not have the

Keratin Basil

Image
Keratin Basil Originally uploaded by williamnyk . My colleagues and I had lunch at Bangkok Expresso the other day. From the same chain as Amarin . Pricey stuff and the service was so-so. But the Hot Basil Chicken Rice that my colleague ate took the cake. Just look hard enough in the photo and you can see the hair in the midst of the hot basil leaves (they look like tea leaves here). Even more shocking is my colleagues response to it. No need to replace la. They'll most probably just remove the hair and give me the same thing. Is service *that* bad that we won't even bother?

Cheated

I have been cheated. I have no say in my future direction. Secrecy prevails...

Abuzz

My company is abuzz with talks of organizational changes. Everyone is worried about how they will fit in into the new structure. Instant messages are flying back and forth, pouring in from many channels. Rumours aplenty. I'm going back for a meeting tomorrow morning. D-Day. Opportunity is knocking. What's the buzz, tell me what's happening, What's the buzz, tell me what's happening, What's the buzz, tell me what's happening... -- excerpt from Jesus Christ, Superstar

Just get a bottle of Licin-Licin from your neighbourhood grocery store and mix one cap-full into half a pail of water. Mop the intended area throughly. Let it dry. Then place a rug over it.

Ice Breakers

Image
Photo-0039 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Another gem from my Saturday trip to Sungei Wang Plaza. Hidden between travel agencies. An introduction agency. A marriage broker. Aptly named ICE BREAKERS . I love their tagline of "Why Stay Single!" . Like it's a choice we all actively make. It claims to be the the nation's biggest professional multiracial introduction agency . Source unknown. Here are several reasons to use their services: 1) Our co. is working towards ISO9000 - I'm only aware of ISO9001:2000. At least you'll rest assured that they'll not mess up your profile and pair you with a babboon. 2) More than 20 yrs in introduction service - Backed by a long history! 3)Choice of friendship, companionship, marriage and language exchange - friendship = one night stand? companionship = live-in partner? language exchange = can anyone enlighten me? 4) We are affordable - 'Affordable' for desperate people most probably equals big bucks 5)

KTV

Image
Saturday marked the second KTV session of my life's history. I marked the first one at RedBox Ria, Sogo. Interestingly, it coincided with my official 3rd anniversary at my company. Yeah, It's my first job and I'm still there, and people wonder why I've not left. But that's for another post. Back to the present. RedBox, Sungei Wang Paza had the honour of being my second. FK, SK, Soon, CK, MY and I flocked there by 11:00 am to enjoy the lunch special. Just pay for the lunch and you get to sing free for 3 hours. Standard RedBox premises, but the room reeked of stale ciggies and citrus deodarant. Blech. Our playlist was quite diverse, ranging from dangdut to Chinese oldies to the ubiquotous Chinese pop. Sad as it may seem, but the highlight of the whole session was the threesome, rousing rendition of Theresa Teng's "Don't Pick the Roadside Wild Flowers"! I had a blast introducing them to Inul Daratista's "Goyang Inul" and other classics

Deja Vu

This post was triggered after reading Zemien's post . It's all very strange. I noticed that I keep having the same conversation over the span of a couple of years. It's always the same flow. A message will come out of the blue from Yahoo! IM (my alternate profile, for, eh-hem, 'forays' into chat rooms). It goes a little something like this. XXX : Hi, my name XXX. XXX : Are you there? I guess you're not there. nvm. Me : Yeah, I'm here. XXX : a/s/l Me : 25/M/Malaysia XXX : I'm shy to ask you this. (blushing emoticon) Me : ? XXX : I'm horny. You mind cybering with me? Me : Uhhh. I'm at the office. Some other time perhaps. XXX : Oh, come on... Me : Really, no. XXX : Well, your loss. XXX : If you change your mind, check out my profile at YYY ( And of course the profile has some link to some questionable porn site. ) I think I've had this conversation at least thrice. With some minor variations of course.

10 of Life's Simple Pleasures

Zemien tagged me. Its his way of 'thanking' me for loyally commenting on his blog. This is the first time, so I'll layan it. :D. In no particular order: 1) Receiving 'real' e-mail. Or better yet, receiving 'real' snail mail. 2) Having some 'me' time. 3) Walking barefoot on grass or sand 4) Running my hands through a soft, comfy blanket 5) Smelling wet grass after an afternoon shower 6) Taking a loooong piss after holding it for too long. :P. 7) Reading a good book. 8) Gossipping over a frappucino. 9) Having good company. 10) Receiving a sincere compliment. Since I practically don't know much other bloggers who read my blog, I tag Shaz . Amazing that we have keep in touch for so long after just a chance meeting on the Putraline bus. Cheers.

Depression

Image
IMG_1077 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Have you ever been in a rut? Why do we dig deeper and deeper into our problems? Why are we so pig-headed and blind at times? I have chosen silence. I have chosen to watch from afar. I have chosen to let nature take its course. We all have our own crosses to carry. Is it the right choice? Only God knows. Some lessons are harder to learn than others. Currently listening to Karunesh's Solitude. In Urdu, about despair. How apt.

Bollywood

Photo-0031bollystairmirror Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Took this picture at a friend's place in Seri Petaling. I edited the original to add a mirror image. It's not perfect, I know. I'm no Adobe Photshop expert, OK? Putting that aside, the stairway reminded me of those old Hindi movies where one of the main characters live an big 'ol mansion with those big double stairways near the main entrance. At the ending sequence, the hero's mother would run kena belasah and roll a long way down those steps to protect her son. She would end up half dead at the bottom, living long enough to just whisper some sordid family secret into the hero's ear... Luke..... I'm your ....... father.... Wrong movie.

Awkward

Photo-0033goldfishmem Originally uploaded by williamnyk . I dropped a bomb on a good friend the other day. I could have kept quiet. I could have filtered out the negative vibes. But it was not to be. I dropped the bomb. She was devastated. A repeat for her. I can only guess what she's going through. Even though we talked it over, I still sense some kind of awkwardness and avoidance. Some things aren't so easy to iron out. Sometimes don't you wish that you have the memory span of a goldfish...

Various Fried

Image
I had dinner at this hawker stall @ OUG the other day whilst waiting for my mother to arrive home from Cameron Highlands. Thank goodness I had plenty of time to kill. The stall is marked as Various Fried (!!).   I ordered a plate of Hokkien Mee and it took them ages. I seriously contemplated leaving. I was so bored that I took a photo of my foot. However, it did make me notice the colourful mosaic tiles on the floor. Those tiny mosaic tiles are such a rare sight these days. I used to see it on pillars back in Kuantan. So Byzantine. Oh well, the plate of noodles eventually came, and it sucked. Normally, when you're extra hungry, mediocre food tastes extra good, so you can imagine the standard.

Nadia

Image
Attended a housewarming of an ex-schoolmate on Sunday afternoon. She bought an apartment at Bandar Manjalara for MYR260k. You'd have to fork out an extra half a mil for a landed property there. She just renovated it for MYR20k and you know what, she's not gonna stay there. She's gonna leave for Singapore to work by the end of this week.       Great buying power. I wonder why I'm not making half as much as her. Oh yeah, I'm a lazy underachiever. Her ex-coursemates at the party were an interesting bunch. But the best was Sam. She was recounting her whole slimming experience. One jab here, instant slimming. One jab there, shapely thighs. No side effects! Chilli Diet. Slim Wrap. You name it, she's tried it. Scary. I left after a while. Didn't quite fit in. www. flick r .com    More of williamnyk's photos tagged with Nadia

Clowns & Chapati

Headed over to MidValley with Mel on Saturday. Started early to avoid the anticipated YDPA B'day + School Holiday crowd. We just managed to enjoy 5 minutes of congestion-free parking bay hunting. The cars started pouring outta nowhere. Mel actually did some shopping this time. She actually bought something (unlike the whole X'mas shopping fiasco 3 years back when we actually walked all the floors without buying a thing). We wanted to watch a movie, but the queue... impossible. Had lunch Anna Lakshmi. Nice South Indian vegetarian fare. Each as much as you like, pay as much as you like. We paid MYR20.00, then the cashier asked us for MYR1.00 extra. He pointed to the counter. Emblazoned on it was a GST notice from the Malaysian Customs. It didn't occur to me then, but I should have said that I'm paying MYR19.05, and MYR20.00 is already inclusive of GST. Over at Centre Court, some Over the Hedge promotional junket was going on with clowns and all. Children were singing alo

Late Nights

Friday was kinda an eventful prelude to the long weekend (I took Monday off as a replacement for YDPA's Birthday, wohooo). Mum went off gallavanting to Cameron and I was left to my own devices. Met up with SK, HP, and I met up with FK for a nice Teo Chew porridge dinner at Peng Hwa @ Old Klang Road. Had FK order the dishes. She was liek a drill sergeant. A nice spread of stewed pork intestines (with a borderline high cholesterol level, I didn't touch those. Anyways, HP couldn't bear looking at them and squirmed when FK put one in her mouth), stewed mui choi , braised peanuts, baby pak choy , ikan masak , stir-fried aubergines, stewed tofu and eggs. Too bad, no photos. FK was kinda worked up that night, much steam to let off about work. We politely obliged. After dinner, I went off to meet another bunch of friends from uni. KK was bugging me to get yum cha session going and I managed to set one up that was up to his "standards" ("at least 4 participants, and

Safe

Safe Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Today's post is sponsored by the Malaysian Safe Safety Association (a mounthful, ain't it?). Safe Safety Tip #273: Don't out of convenience unlock your safe and cellotape the dials to keep the combination. It defeats the purpose of getting a safe in the first place. Suggestion: Locking the safe and then putting the combination on a post-it note on the door is safer, as the burglars attempting to steal your belongings might be illiterate.
