will i am's delayed diary

collageDainTi2 Swiped from williamnyk . There are many things that I have not done with KH before. Many things that "normal" couples take for granted. I'm NOT talking about candles and leather straps in the bedroom, but I could be . These are the things that make LDRs sucky. But never mind, better late than never. On the Friday that KH was still in town, I took a 3-hour lunch break ( just a few days later I received an e-mail broadcast from HR regarding punctuality, :P ) to sing karaoke with KH, SK and Apollo. Yes, people, I have not done this thing that is to be done by all Cina Punya Cina couples-- Pay money to sing off key in a dimly-lit room. Well, I found that KH is not an exceptional singer, but at least he does try. Didn't sing any yuk ma duets and there was nothing as romantic as The Chief's declaration of love for Janvier through song during Apollo's birthday KTV session, but I ain't complaining. Holding hands and singing something to...

sentries of the heart Swiped from mrtambourine . "My name was not mentioned enough in your BKK posts." , complained my sweet KH. I do admit that I didn't mention him that often so I have this post to compensate. So, don't lou gai , k? This has nothing to do with the fact the KH payed for my hotel lodgings at BKK. Hehe. Anyway, as you all know, I'm in an LDR with KH, so we hardly see each other often like the majority couples. Even rarer still for us to spend the night together in each other's embrace. Hence we always make it a point to do that everytime we get the chance. And I must give to due credit to my mama-san , SK who made many encounters possible. Anyway, have you noticed the way your partner sleeps? KH is a person who adores touching and closeness, hence in bed, we always cuddle close and if possible skin on skin. Whenever we get ready for bed, I will be in the crook of KH's shoulders and chest ( or vice versa ). I have noticed we someho...

Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ) Swiped from misya a . Saw in the Star Metro sometime back that Majlis Perbandaran Petaling Jaya had changed the uniforms of their staff to project a "friendlier" image. I don't know about you, but I don't see how changing the shirt from blue to white can achieve that. Perhaps if they took up clown costumes I would agree more. And anyway, what difference does it make if the person wearing the supposedly friendlier uniform also behaves like an arrogant prick? Always with the appearances. But anyway, good news for the uniform supplier.

collageSouveniers Swiped from williamnyk . Arrangements were made for the van to pick us to the airport at noon, so we had a couple of hours after breakfast to burn. It was quite sad to learn that the Robinsons and Central Department Store nearby only open at 11:00am. Terpaksalah lepak at McD to wait for the shops to open. KH tried a Thai Tea Float and I must that it was super sweet. At Robinsons, met up with Damon who bought some racy magazines at the neighbourhood bookshop ( note to self: borrow mags from Damon ). Bought a pair of transluscent HOM underwear and KH finally found a suitable gym bag. With whatever remaining time was left, we headed to Central and Jason Jr. managed to buy the plates he had promised his boss. Saw Savante in action, racing down an escalator at break-neck speed. Rushed back to the hotel to check out. The van turned out to be a little too small for ten passangers, so we had to squeeze a bit. At Suvarnabhumi Airport, the check-in line at Air Asia wa...

collageGrandPalace1 Swiped from williamnyk . The first order of the day was the Grand Palace . A sweltering day to visit it and dressing down wasn't an option due to the dress code, so we had to sweat buckets. It was just as I remember it, just that this time I didn't sneak in as a local. THB300 gets you in to the Grand Palace, Vimanmek Mansion and the Anantasamakom Throne Hall. A perfect place to camwhore and spot sweaty hotties. We visited the Royal Thai Decorations and Coins Pavilion, Phra Siratana Chedi, Phra Mondop, Hor Phra Gandhararat, Temple of the Emerald Buddha ( currently in hot season costume ) and the Chakri Maha Prasat Hall. Didn't visit everything there as we were kinda eager to leave the heat ( Janvier was melting like a Madame Tussaud on a hot plate ). Lunch was at Fuji , MBK-- the epitome of cheap and delicious Japanase food. For THB220, one can get a bento set with chicken, shrimp, fish, calamari, sashimi , maki , miso soup, omelette, chawanmush...

collageJJ1 Swiped from williamnyk . Sunday was reserved for the Jatujak Weekend Market ( since we didn't have enough time on Saturday ), where I knew the bulk of my shopping would happen. The ultimate example of variety under "one roof". We braced ourselves for the long day ahead by getting enough sleep, dressing light and bringing enough water ( but still most of my fluid ended up as sweat rather than pee ). From the hotel, we took the more direct route via Sam Yan MRT station. On the way to the station, we got a glimpse of Wat HuaLamphong. Security is stricter on the MRT with required bag checks and camera bans. On arrival, we immediately experienced why people flock to JJ every weekend-- a Prada key chain sold for THB20 on the roadside vs. THB120 at Patpong. T'was my 5th trip to JJ and come to think of it, I think I've only managed to cover 40% of the place. It's too big to manoeuver. We were there from 10:30am till 5:00pm with numerous pit stops ...

collageTakeANap Swiped from williamnyk . I have no idea when the tickets for the trip to Bangkok (BKK) was bought. A good guess would be months ago. At that time, I just agreed to buy it and if the trip happened, it happened. If my work schedule was sucky, oh well, I would be prepared to let it burn. Just bought it and pushed it to the backburner. However, I really wanted it to happen ad it did. My first trip with KH and I must say it's very memorable. The trip itinerary was not fleshed out until only a week before departure. Thank goodness for skillful planners like JL who took care of accomodations and transport. :P. On Friday, KH arrived from Singapore by flight. We spent the night together at SK's place. Had her transform into pimp mode again. Hehe. The next morning, we were driven to LCCT by David. It was KH's first time there experiencing the Giant Hypermarket-like interior, low security, semi-manual baggage handling, kedai runcit duty-free shops and wet mar...

Hair Icon Studio Swiped from williamnyk . KK, my stylist has officially opened his new hair salon, Hair Icon Studio , Citrus Park OUG. He left Snips with another senior stylist Josdon, and they practically brought the whole clientelle over. Passing by his old place, one can really see how quiet things have become. Kinda like a soft launch, there was no extravagance involved. No lion dance or ribbon cutting. Just lots of food-- curry chicken, fried beehoon , fried rice, fried springrolls, fried chicken, stewed pork with monk ear fungus, sushi, fish fillet, sausages and butter prawn, Even vodka was poured. Quite a quiet affair with his regular customers and family ( all either in the hair or makeup line! ). His new place is very simple. Clean lines and the main colour theme is BnW. SK and I didn't get him any flowers but went a little unconventional with an aromatherapy burner and essential oils from Australia. Threw in a beanie fortune cat as well. The week before, I had al...

kfc Swiped from ovalspleen . Can anyone enlighten me on the meaning of kitchen fresh chicken ? This new slogan of KFC ( OMG, even the abbreviation is the same, sooooo clever ) really baffles me. What does it mean?! Some kind of specially-bred chicken that is only stays fresh in the kitchen? Or are they serving us a type of chicken that actually freshens up any kitchen through some sort of genetic splice with Ambi-Pur? Hope you have the answer to their "12th Secret".

Perhimpunan Protes Sejuta Rakyat Swiped from a,G . Same situation, different treatment. That's what I got from TV3's primetime news, Buletin Utama. People say that The Star is pro-government, but I find TV3 is even more so. Their first piece on Monday was on PROTES, the anti-price hike thing at Kelana Jaya. Was reported as unhealthy and a threat to public safety. Police commented that the rally was obviously politically-motivated, so all the speeches would be recorded. After that, a rally of support at Perak for our embattled PM was covered. It was on the other hand described as "peaceful" and "positive". Even had a clip of a fiery speech going on. Biased? Anyway, our DPM declared PROTES a failure because the attendance was poor. Mestilah, blok sini-sana . Just on Jalan Puchong itself the police put two roadblocks causing massive jams. Other news included comments from our dear MIC President regarding his ex-Youth Chief. He described him as "un...

collageLaSenza Swiped from williamnyk . Remember my shopping spree not too long ago? Well, I participated in a HSBC contest on that day and I actually won! Filled in about ten entry forms. Had to guess the value of the Guess products on two mannequins. SK and I guessed from a range of MYR10k to MYR30k. Guess we were close to have won MYR1000 worth of shopping vouchers. Hehe. Unfortunately for me, the vouchers are all for La Senza . -_-||. No La Senza Men in Malaysia, dammit! Sigh. Perhaps I'll start wearing lacy panties...

Thai Green Curry Fried Rice :) Swiped from koe2moe . I had highlighted all the unhappiness in BKK but I had failed to mention the happiness I had found in the wonderful food there. So unlike me hor ? Sorry to say that I don't have any photos to salivate you, so I guess you'll have to turn up your imagination. >> Day 1 : Robinsons Bangrak Foodcourt for lunch and dinner due to the rain Stir-fried bacon and sausages in hot basil. Simple and yummy. Stewed pig trotters with egg and rice. Fragrant and smooth meat. With a sinful helping of fatty skin. >> Day 2 : Breakfast buffet at Blue Spice at Centerpoint Bangrak. Love their boiled rice with spicy salted egg salad and belly meat. Grand China at Wall Street Tower for a Chinese lunch. Price is on par with Crystal Jade Palace. Had loads of dim sum ( ha kau, siew mai, cha siew pau, custard pau, wu kok ), cabbage wrap and seafood kuey tiao and fried rice. Dinner was at Gwei Lo Shop at Bangrak. Plenty of succul...

Grim Fandango Swiped from Kressara . Recently, I've noticed that I always scan through the obituries section in the newspaper. Not that I am expecting to see anyone I know there, but I once found out about the death of my university lecturer through it. Don't worry, I am not getting into a depressive state or getting morbid, just one of the weird things I do, I guess. I have done my best in the race, I have run the full distance, and I have kep the faith. -- Timothy 4:7 P.S.: Jaded Jeremy, you still weirder. :P.

Why can't we do the simplest of things? Why can't we tell a person to their face how they feel rather than run away and sulk? Why do we always have to be right and want to rub it in each other's faces? Why do we say things that only serve to cause hurt? Why can't we do the little things that we know will make each other happy? Why do we neglect the concern's of others because in our little myopic minds, we think it makes no sense? Why do we pretend to understand but still continue to be oblivious about each other's feelings? When will we ever learn?

October rain in Bangkok Swiped from Vardhana . A string of unfortunate incidents in BKK. Really not "smooth"... :( I arrived to find that my room wasn't booked, so I had to share a room with my boss. Ugh. And I forgot to bring my camera! :( Been in BKK for four days and I didn't even get a chance to go sight-seeing. Work. Work. Work. :( Due to the rain, dinner was confined to the food court near my serviced apartment. Ugh. From the balcony, I saw that the weather was clear, but when I went down to swim.... I saw dark clouds swirling behind the building and gale-force winds startng to blow. :( On the morning that the driver was supposed to pick us up, the engine couldn't start. When we called for a cab, the car managed to start. And we had to run in and out of the lobby to make and receive calls while lugging a heavy projector. :( During the last minute, my boss ( the main presenter ) had to fly back to KL because his wife delivered ahead of schedule. His...
