2010-Soccer-World-Cup-Mascot-Zakumi Swiped from Shine 2010 - 2010 World Cup good news . I keep forgetting to blog about the World Cup! Last Saturday, JJ was in town, so SK and I met them for a yumcha session at Lotus, Dataran Sunway. Ate their tandoori chicken again. Typical. Hehe. The whole world was watching Korea Republic vs. Uruguay. All eyes were trained on the game except for out table and another table of aunties. Even when someone scored and everyone shouted, we just went about our business. An island of gay calmness in a sea of soccer mania. Anyway, I actually want to talk about the World Cup mascot, Zakumi . In my opinion, he's kinda cute. Bad boy look. Nice, thick mane. Impish smile. And look at that crotch. :P. Waka waka?

Due to my preparations for the Brunei trip, I did not take my replacement leave for Agong's Birthday. So I decided to take it on Monday after I came back from the business trip. After sending SK to work, I proceeded to Taman Desa to return my door card and office keys. Had coffee with Jolin the accounts girl to get some updates and gossip. After packing up my desk ( pindah ofis, bukan letak jawatan! ), I headed for Bukit Jalil to take the LRT down to KL. Stopped at Plaza Rakyat. Construction was still going strong at Puduraya. I walked to Bangunan Chong Keat to see my dermatologist. Purchased some skin supplies for the next half a year or so. Saw a cute patient dozing at the sofa while waiting for the doctor to arrive. If he was KH, I would have kissed him awake. :P. I was too lazy to walk back to the LRT, so I decided to walk to The Pavilion after consulting Google Maps. The scenic route from Jalan Pudu to Jalan Bukit Bintang. By the time I had reached The Pavilion, my back was we...

3-in-1 Swiped from williamnyk . During my K3K Benta Kaya meet-up with Carpe Diem, Janvier and Leggie last-last Saturday ( yes Janvier, this is more like me! ), I offered Carpe Diem a bite of my 3-in-1 Toast. Basically toast with butter, kaya and cocoa. He declined because he did not want to have his braces all mangled up with it before his drink arrived. How troublesome, right? So this got me thinking... How does it feel to kiss someone with braces? During bouts of intense tongue wrestling, would your tongue get caught in the wires? Perhaps something from breakfast is discovered by your partner? Is there a metallic tang? Are there any complications if both wore braces? Would they get caught? Now that would be difficult to explain at the A&E. Would really like to hear some kisah benar !

ShabuShabu201006 Swiped from williamnyk . Since I was in Brunei, I missed Cyan's birthday celebration. Therefore, we had another celebration at Restaurant Shabu Shabu in Bandar Puteri Puchong. It's a buffet steamboat joint from the same people who opened Mizi , hence you also get the individual pot concept. But the novel thing about it is the kaiten belt. Hundreds of slave boys in their kitchen stuff vegetables, fishballs, mushrooms, prawns, sausages, beancurd skin, chicken, beef, etc into tiny plastic plates ( like those dessert containers on full fare flights ). In between the belts, their staff also go around distributing special items like fried chicken wings, other misc. fried stuff topped with mayo ( they seem to push this A LOT. A ploy to make you feel full faster? ) and most importantly, pork slices! So delish. A few seconds in the piping soup and its ready to eat. I heard that Savante easily downed 20 plates. Cyan was happy beyond belief looking at the conveyor b...

On the second day, Fatty Boss jumped into action again, leaving the audience enthralled and wanting more. Lunch was with Fatty Boss again, but this time at a new shop called Restoran Cahaya Indah . Don't be fooled by the name, it serves chinese food. I ordered their beef noodles and lin chee kang . Both were quite nice. The hands-on sessions during the afternoon went quite well except for some 'expected' weird behaviour from the system. When things went awry, I tried not to look surprised ad just glossed things over. But kinda awkward when the users experienced it themselves and started to ask questions. I think my presentation was quite dry and tried to reel them back in when they seemed lost. By the end of the day, I was exhausted but glad that it was over. To celebrate, we had dinner at Charcoal BBQ & Grill Restaurant . My colleague ordered the 15oz ribs and was kinda put off by the big chunk of meat. Hoho. Luckily I chose the Surf 'n Turf-- a mixture of grilled ...

Basically got up early to go to the venue only that find that the door was still locked. Sat around with the janitor until somebody brought the key. Apparently the some guy from the project management office was busy the last night migrating the blade servers and changing the chasis. I dunno why they cannot make up their mind on the hardware. Today 4 slots. Tomorrow 6 slots. Today got CDROM. Tomorrow no CDROM. Today USB1.1. Tomorrow USB2.0. Bengong . Luckily things still worked. Was quite lucky that my Fatty Boss showed his face and talked half the day away. I must admit that his presentation skills have improved. That guy can really talk and talk and talk. He knows how to spruce things up and get the attention of the audience. The subject matter was very dry and he managed to actually inflate it with all his hot air. Amazing kung fu . And so, he talked till half time and brought us to lunch at Babu's Kitchen ( we had passed by that shop many times and kept thinking that it was In...

La Feet Tabi Sneakers/La Feet Anti HALLUX VALGUS Tabi Shoes Sneakers - Black Leather 足袋型健康シューズ(Lafeet:レザー ブラック)　OKAMOTO-SEIKO 岡本製甲 Swiped from Japonista . Another break from my Begawan arc. I sense that my readers are dropping off like flies. Bersabar ya... Not only is the country boring, I guess blog posts about it are as interesting as watching cum dry. So my question is: Are you a fan of black sneakers ? Especially chunky ones? Think Rockports. Think MBTs. Think black Danish clogs. Just seems wrong to me. Hehe. Sorry, dear. :P. So, how many do you have in your shoe rack? P.S.: I might just open a "I hate black, chunky sneakers" page on FB.

Christiano Ronaldo 03 Swiped from eeed1982 . The final day of my setup. Settled most of the issues. For those that could not be fixed on time, workarounds would be used or ignored altogether. Just need to steer clear of the errors. Lunch was at Singapore Chicken Rice again. This time round, I ordered their cashew nut chicken rice. It's supposed to be kungpao chicken I think, but the colour's all wrong and it tastes more like sweet and sour sauce to me. Haha. But at least it looks better than their huatan ho . Yes, huatan ho . One thing that still surprises me about Brunei is how civilized their drivers are. If you cross the road at a zebra crossing, they actually stop. Like in Singapore. In Malaysia, they run you down even with the traffic light in place ( Oh, did I do thaattt? ). Dinner was at a vegetarian joint. Tried something called cha zhai bihun . Some kind preserved vegetable soup. Really sour. Not bad, but the portion was so measly. Supplemented dinner with pineap...

Water Taxis Swiped from williamnyk . Well, I spent my Sunday in the office too. Breakfast was air-conditioned fried noodles. Cold! Fatty Boss picked us up in the company Innova and it was quite a ride! Nothing clears your mind like the sound of tires screeching from an emergency break. Worked and worked until lunch time when Fatty Boss came over to treat us at Fratini's . The Italian restaurant was located just beside the river where Kampong Ayer 's located. One can see water taxis zipping across the river bringing the occupants to and fro. Once they alight, the occupants continue own with their own automobiles parked on the other side. It all seemed quite haphazard. Boats were anchored in the middle of the river and everyone was just going against the surf at high speed. Ordered spaghetti vongole with fish buillion. So-so. Washed it down with a glass of honey dew juice. Back to work for a couple of hours. Such a chore to get the system up. Never touched it before. Lot...

I'm sure you guys are getting sick of Bandar Seri Begawan already, so I'll put in a filler post. A break la katakan . Today's episode sees Gnome travelling to Angkor Wat . He's definitely fond of the topless Apsaras, the horny old bastard. Not really my choice of a holiday destination ( neither are topless Apsaras ). I can imagine the itinerary: Day 1: Ruins. Day 2: More ruins. Day 3: Ruins with faces. Day 4: Batu. Tanah. Pasir. You get the picture. :P. But KH and Nic did manage to 'persuade' me to go to Borbodur in September. Ish. And hikes at Mount Merapi at 3:00am! WTF. What am I getting myself into?!

Woke up with a dry throat. The air-conditioning and the super MSG in Brunei food must have gotten to me finally. Breakfast was fried rice again. Also laden with MSG. I drank four cups of water while waiting for the driver to arrive. At work. On a Saturday. Ugh. Was also busy playing iAssociate 2 on the iPhone. I think I'm addicted to that word association game. At the office we immediately got to work and solved several big obstacles. During lunch, we were joined by another two colleagues who brought us to a nearby mamak shop. 2 pieces of chicken kurma + bitter gourd + white rice + pulled tea only cost B$3.60. My cheapest meal in Brunei so far. Dropped by at Guardian to pick up a bottle of mouthwash. Chose a bottle with thymol and hexitidine. Really had a kick! Went back to work after lunch, but there were still some issues to iron out. Left work at around 7:00pm and had dinner at Restoran Golden Leaf again. This time round, I ordered porridge with stir fried siew pak choy , pump...

iPhone14 Swiped from williamnyk . Learning from yesterday's experience, we got up a little later. Breakfast was more decent with fried rice and egg toast. We went directly to the server room to start installing our application. Was inexperienced with Windows Server 2008, so we hit several snags along the way. Luckily things started looking up by lunch. Had fried mee hoon at the nearby foodcourt. It was just beside a restaurant selling live lobsters for B$7.80 per 100gms. Saw some really giant lobsters! I think they were staring at me. And so funny to see them label cockles as seaham . LOL. I made a conclusion about Brunei food. Salt, sugar and MSG is used liberally. And their MSG is of premium quality. Spend a year there and you'll lose all your hair. After lunch, we chilled out at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Ordered my Today's Brew as usual. I showered myself with raw sugar after flapping a faulty packet. Sienz! I think I found sugar in my underwear. :P. Worked and work...

Yam Claypot Noodles Swiped from williamnyk . I did not sleep well the night before. The pillow was so soft that it gave no support. My eyes were open at 5:30am and I was greeted by Lan's snoring. Tried to get back to sleep. Was a little difficult, but I managed. Lady Gaga's Telephone dragged me out from my slumber 1.5 hours later. Did my stretches and got ready for work. By 7:30am, we were at the hotel cafeteria looking for food. We were the first to arrive. Had a little bit of their super-salty and sweet fried flat noodles. Next was oranges and watermelon cut to look like mini Xmas trees. :S. I passed on the egg mayo sandwiches. It looked more like Nippon Watherbond than mayo. We took the company's shuttle van to work. There was no morning rush hour traffic. There's never any rush. So unlike my days in Metro Jakarta. The project site turned out to be the gymnasium at the top of a building transformed into a software development center. LAN cables were nailed i...

Tien Yin I Swiped from williamnyk . Note: I interrupt my Begawan arc for this update. Got ahead of myself. Hehe. Last Sunday was my uncle's 66th birthday celebration, so mum, sis, BIL, Cyan and I headed for Bagan Sungai Burung after Sunday Mass. We arrived at about 5:00pm and I must say that I was surpised to find that village roads were now tarred. The whole porch was crawling with grandkids and the place was strewn with rubbish. No matter how many times I see it, I can never really get used to it. The celebration was at a nearby restaurant-- Tien Yin . It was easy to spot the place cause loud chink techno was already playing. The stage was set and the entertainer ( a skinny uncle in an oversized chinese suit ) was busy choosing his songs. We chose a table far away from the speakers and waited for the rest of the guests to arrive. Upon sitting, mum was already busy gossiping. Guess what? Five days ago, my uncle's Vietnamese mail order bride had just arrived. 34 years ...

iPhone10 Swiped from williamnyk . I woke up early on Wednesday to do some last minute packing and had a breakfast of fried noodles with mum. At around 10:30am, the taxi driver came over and I hugged mum and Cyan goodbye. The ride to LCCT seemed quite short with me fiddling on the iPhone for 40 minutes. The check-in queue for AK266 to Bandar Seri Begawan was quite long. Everyone had loads of luggage to check-in. The Bruneians seemed intent to bring back a BIG slice of Kuala Lumpur to their home country. Lovely. While waiting for my colleagues, I had a cup of brewed coffee at a coffee shop near the boarding gates. Boarding was a breeze as our company got express boarding for us. Two cuties on board, and one happened to be a colleague. Wohooo... The flight was uneventful. The food was expectedly horrible. I had pre-booked Asian Fried Rice with Chicken Satay. Horrible. Please avoid it all costs. I felt like I was eating sand. Even the chicken was more moist. :S. I finished it anyw...

I have been taking notice of this DJ from RED FM... from his recent pictures in The Star, he does look kinda cute to me! A bit nerdy, but so fresh-faced and fair. A nice smile too! Too bad there aren't many of his pictures on the internet. Perhaps SimonLover can dig up some more. Perhaps he'll even find a skanky pic or two. LOL. Have not listened to his voice over the radio yet. But got to admit, this pic on their website doesn't quite do him justice. Makes him look really thin. What do you guys think?

Sow Your Wild Oats Swiped from ecstaticist . Xavier suddenly added Bunny and I on group chat late one night. The conversation started with a "999" clip about gay activities in Taman Miharja. It was quite entertaining about how they were going on about the subject. The usual gay-bashing. Adds my love for the term aktiviti songsang . Sounds cool. Hahaha. Then out of the blue, he started on how Bunny and I should enjoy our youth by going to saunas and having strings of ONS although our age is only 1 year apart. Somehow, all that doesn't really appeal to me. I know the argument is to sow your oats when you're young and settle down later. We're only young once and we will never quite reclaim that feeling of invincibility and physical prowess. Of course, the riskier it is, the more pleasure we derive from it, and so, one must also be level-headed about all this hedonism. Having said all this, I still don't think that I'm wasting my youth ( not that I ha...

Jame'Asr Hassanal Bolkiah, Brunei Swiped from Dan1897 . Hi guys and girls! I'll be flying to Brunei tomorrow for a business trip and won't be back till next Thursday. Hate meeting clients. Blegh. Hopefully all will go well and the preparations that were done are sufficient. But I am still uneasy because I'm bringing a product that I am hardly familiar with. Hopefully my colleagues can cover for me. I don't know if I'll have the time to go to Miri or perhaps meet up some of KH's friends who have just relocated there this month. See how things go lo! Wish me luck!

There are actually two differences. But I'm not sure if you can detect it from the picture. Let the games begin!

Dream Swiped from marisa larisa . The biggest qualm about being in an LDR is always the lack of physical intimacy. "Goodness! What do you do for sex?!" "Kan tahan mehhhhhhh???" "I'd go crazy if I didn't get to see my BF for so long" These are just a few from the myriad of responses that I get from people. Well, I'm definitely no Shaolin monk and neither am I asexual. It's very usual to get horny and of course one needs to have a healthy outlet for those urges. The obvious choice is of course to sleep around spank one's salami. And of course one can throw in the occasional phone sex or sexting. But not everyone can appreciate moaning over the phone. So in such a state of drought ( as Leggie and Grat like to put it ), would you think that I regularly get sex dreams about KH? My bestie in Germany once said: "Of course you don't get sex dreams about KH! He's your BF!" LOL. In a way, it's kind of true. The Dre...

Char Siew Swiped from williamnyk . On Sunday, I had my favourite char siew wantan noodles at Aman Suria right after church. I was extra grateful during mass that day because I bumped into three cute guys at the cafeteria. Tall and Korean-looking. Totally yummy. Back to the other 'meat'. Business was extra good that day, so the delicious sausages were sold out ( sayur pun habis! ). So we just made with the deliciously thick and juicy char siew . After lunch, we went home to rest for a while before my swim. Mum on the other ponteng and went to a friend's house in Seri Petaling. After my swim, we stopped over for a while and had some home-grown corn ( she turned her bungalow into a farm, :S ). Her friend recommended that we have dinner at Harbour Steamboat in Seri Petaling. It was a good recommendation, but we had to wait for an hour before we were seated ( and the waitress had the nerve to say, "Have to wait very long hor?" ). Thank goodness I had the iPhon...

LRT Celebrity Swiped from williamnyk . For my loyal viewers, this is the inaugural edition of LRT Celebrities: iPhone Edition . Expect clearer shots and better quality with the spy pics taken via my iNyk! Today's edition is woman ( Sis A ) who is having a loud conversation with her sister. She was taking the LRT to Bt. Jalil to catch a bus back up to Perak. On her right~ the woman who has her legs WIDE OPEN is her sister who lives in KL ( Sis B ). Sis A: Aiyeh... dunno how leh. Should I break up with him or not? Break up also die. Don't break up also die... Sis B: Haiyah... how old is the guy ah? Sis A: 48 years old dy lo... You know la, I also no money ma. My job is a dead end job le. 6-days a week... sigh. Sis B: You come to KL la... I recommend you work at massage parlour! Eh, how about your husband le? How to settle? Sis A: That fella say wanna divorce. I where got money! Stay with my BF first le! They kept going on and on. Ever since Puduraya closed for construct...

Bavarian Bierhaus Swiped from williamnyk . Saturday was marked by the usual marketing routine. Many people were out of town for the long weekend, so that explains the lull in the usual bustling market. We finished up pretty quickly and headed to Carrefour at Endah Parade to raid their promo salmon steaks. Together with two other women, we waited around for them to slice up another fish. Half of it was snapped up in half a minute. Thinking back, Carrefour Sri Petaling is just a sad, faded shadow of its heyday seven years ago. It used to be super crowded and very happening. Now, the whole complex is kinda like an overripe zit waiting to be popped. Breakfast was upstairs at Uncle Chong's Kopitiam . Decent curry mee but lousy service. Fully manned by migrant workers. Did some chores at home. Mopped the floor. Hanged up a painting. Lunch was late and light. Soba with nori , bonito flakes and some tororo konbu . Had a short nap after that while the rain raged outside. At night, we h...

Yin Yang Star Back Tattoo Swiped from David Schexnaydre . All of my female colleagues have either resigned or had been transferred out, leaving only guys in my team. An imbalance has occurred. Now, my colleagues like to touch each other, tweaking each other's nipples and caressing thighs... even at the public food court. I am... shocked and amused at the same time. Hehehehe. WAKAKAKAKAKA. Straight men. Hah!

iPhone6 Swiped from williamnyk . Early on Wesak morning, mum, SK and I went out to K3K Benta Kaya for breakfast. Why there you may ask? Cause they gave me a coupon for a free topee ( round bread toast with butter and kaya, very crispy and light ) on my next visit. Clever marketing. Just to redeem that, I spent MYR33 on breakfast. Ordered some of their noodles and I must say they all sucked. Don't bother. Just eat their toast. Their other mains suck big time. Having had my fill of noodles and nasi kunyit , we made a beeline for the wet market to get some fruits. Mum wanted to visit our ex-neighbour in OUG. Her MIL is now bedridden after a stroke. When we got there, she was not at home. After some futile attempts to communicate with her new Cambodian maid, we just went in to wait. My ex-neighbour came home not long after we arrived. Turns out that her MIL had been warded in UMMC due to bed sores and complications from her diabetic condition. So we had a long talk with her ...
