Xue - Study Swiped from Pawel Maciejewski . It's the 31st of August today. 53 years of independence. It totally slipped my mind. Holiday on Tuesday? What's the occasion? My colleague was baffled. Things seem very quiet in KL. The Singapore NDP had a much bigger presence. Well, what does Merdeka mean to you? This year, to me it means that I'm lucky that I don't have to balik Tiong Kok . Sekian.

Spider Jerusalem's brand of journalism Swiped from silverwolfnoir . Heard about the furore generated from an opposition MP entering a mosque without properly covering herself according to 'religious tenets'? I watched it on the government mouthpiece's prime time news. The newscaster declared it as: Biadap dan melampau!! Isn't that inciting hatred? To me, news channels should be impartial. Not apple polishers who are over-zealous when it comes to condemning the 'enemy'. I really have no more appetite for mainstream media. Yes, it's Biadap dan melampau!!

Crack I Swiped from williamnyk . Remedial works have finally started on my brother's house after the contractor FFK on the first day. At least he's here now. They'll have to dig out the base and since the back of the house has no alley, they'll be going through the front door! Imagine the chaos, the dust and dirt. And they'll be reconstructing one side of the wall first to avoid making things too 'exposed'. Will have to temporarily board things up for at least a couple of nights. Ah, I guess we have not much choice. I just hope that the problem will be solved after paying the MYR4,500. The cracks are already so bad that rats can even squeeze through!

jo kwon Swiped from camelle20@ . On Sunday, we went to Kota Damansara for lunch since SK wanted to shop at Houz Depot. Went past Sunway Giza into The Strand and starting looking for a place to eat. That area was more deserted, so parking was a breeze, but it made selecting a lunch venue quite risky as well as it's difficult to gauge if it's good. Ended up at Restoran Korea Bulgogi . The main factor was the giant sign out front that stated "$9 Lunch Sets Daily". LOL. But we ordered something else la. Interesting decor inside and we were the only customers. The waiters at the restaurant beside were sleeping on the chairs. :S. Ordered the dolsot bibimbap and kimchi stew sets. Washed it down with some weird corn tea. The food was quite good actually and we were entertained by a Korean variety show. Jo Kwon from 2AM was the host. Slitty-eyed sexiness. Eemmmm. Not long after we started eating, a woman came into the restaurant mumbling "set, set, set" to the wai...

Kopi Tarik Swiped from williamnyk . Mum breezed through Saturday's morning market ritual because she made an appointment with the renovator at 11:00am. For breakfast, we packed nasi lemak and dry curry noodles from the OUG Wet Market. My mother also bought some jelly-fied coconut ( still in the shell ). Quite nice and refreshing. The renovator inspected the damage to the house extension. Both walls had cracked more than an inch. The floor tiles have begun to tilt and crack too. At some parts, even the main house body has started to crack due to the pressure. Initial findings suggest that the footing's not wide enough to support the extension. He would most probably hack off a section from both walls, put a beam in place and cantilever it to the main structure. He even brought his wife along. Quite a motor-mouth! Hopefully he can remedy the shoddy work that the original renovator delivered. Sigh. In the afternoon, SK and I went out for lunch at Restoran Ah Loy , OUG. It was ...

Greek Swiped from williamnyk . "I've finished my part, do you need me for anything else?" I should not have opened my mouth. His eyes looked wild and they rolled around while thingking of what I could do for him. Everyone else was still struggling trying to bring up the system for next day's Proof of Concept (POC). A very, very dirty phrase in my book. Rush work. Pressure to impress customers. Every single mistake will be pinned on you if the deal goes bust. Ugh. Instead of leaving at dinner time, my boss detained me till 4:00am! Barely had 2 1/2 hours of sleep, then it was back to work. Slept in the car. Slept on the train. Was practically floating around. I pity my colleagues who did not even go home to shower. Customers are getting very pushy and demanding. And vendors are getting heads over heels trying please the customers. Sufference. In the end, most of the stuff was up and running and my load test went well. Was quite flattered when the customer thought I...

Shut me up Explored! Swiped from Conor Keller | fortysixtyphoto.com . "Dear, I am unhappy about something. I want you to do something for me, but I can't tell what it is..." "Cause if I do, then it will lose its significance!" Am I making any sense? Can you relate? Perhaps you've encountered such a scenario in your relationships before. P.S.: Don't worry about KH and I. In the end, I told him. We overcame this little piece of pre-bedtime drama. LOL.

Hit and run Swiped from Cracas . I have a friend who has an annoying habit. He would suddenly appear on GTalk and buzz you with a question. Gets the answer that he wants. Then just disappears without a trace. No TQ. No response. Or offline even. Geram betul! What should I do when faced with this possible "hit and run" scenario in the future?

Fast track: Church->Lunch->Optical Shop. Mum's pair of multifocals were getting very dingy. The plating on her frame had disintegrated, so she decided to replace it. Apollo's sis, Eva was already resigning to become an air stewardess, so we decided to make use of her super discounts before she leaves. Choices were limited because drastic reshaping of the lens was a no-no in order to preserve the power of the lens. Eva immediately went to work and it was ready within half an hour. Went to visit SK's new apartment in Bandar Kinrara after that to monitor the progress of the renovations. Still quite a bit to go really. Discovered some kind dampness at the bottom of her walls. Hopefully it's not some kind of shoddy plumbing. Then we went up to my unit. One of my neighbours saw us and gave us a friendly "Hello!". Seeing that we were admiring their beautiful home, the Malay couple, Fir and Lin were SO FRIENDLY that they unlocked the door and invited us in witho...

CK joined us on our morning marketing trip. He had arrived from Kajang at about 7:30am. Mum had to go out to some Mary Kay product demo, so we whizzed through the whole process. Breakfast was at Bandar Park OUG. Mum and I ordered first while SK went to park the car. When she finally came over and ordered, the hawker told her: "Your mother and little brother already order lo." LOL. Little brother. Hehe. For lunch, DH came over and we went to Serdang again. His mummy was wanted to cook, but he vehemently declined! Haha. Well, I guess he tak nak menyusahkan mak bapak. Baik kan? Ordered the steamed haruan ( so smooth... yummy! ), fried mantis prawns ( meaty and crispy! ), asparagus and dried chilli clams. Unfortunately, the price had increased. Then we made a trip to Suria KLCC in his new White Vios. CK went home, but we were accompanied by Orson, the bear-who-lives-in-a-drink-holder. He zoomed through Suria KLCC in his usually snazzy footwork. No different from when we first ...

Check out Burger King 's latest seasonal addition to their menu-- BK Xtra Long . The catchphrase-- So long and juicy no one can resist! It hits a chord with the gay community kan ? We all can relate to that. And look at the model's neck in the ad. Gives a whole new world of meaning to deep throating . Hehe. Over and out.

bless.our.home Swiped from .elsie*cake. . Friday night had me at Paragon Heights participating in a home mass cum home blessing. Lotsa guests but with the same old people getting lost on the way. Taking the same wrong turns. I was practically shouting to get people on the right track. Is the Puncak Jalil area that daunting? Ish. The mass was pretty standard, but the homily was integrated with a sharing session about evangelization in one's daily life. I wonder if I ever inspired anyone to join the Catholic faith or at least spread some understanding about it. The home blessing was an express version. A short prayer and the priest went around with his bottle of holy water ( travel pack ) while we sang some hymns. In the full version, a different prayer would be recited for each room in the house. Lotsa food as usual, but I was not interested at all. Was feeling bloated and my lack of appetite even made me spurn the thick wild boar curry that they were serving. Just munched...

Swiped from RitchieBITCH Have you ever watched "The Teletubbies"? Yes, the kids show that is in the same infernal league as Barney. Another butch of Dukes from Hell who have set up shop in children's TV. We have Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Po and Tinky-Winky . All of 'em have distinct dildos on their heads and a TV on their bellies that play reruns of B-grade movies all day long. Rumour has it, the purple Teletubby, Tinky-Winky is gay! Haha. But just look at this pic I found in DeviantArt! If ever Bravo took over from BBC, things would look like this. Quite cool. I would definitely watch the show. If you still dunno what the heck I am talking about, do wiki 'em here. Don't say I did not warn you. P.S.: So,which DeviantArt Teletubby do you want to fuck?

Futuristic white living room of the Suite Blanche at the Hotel Concorde Berlin in Germany Swiped from Concorde Hotels Resorts . Sunday started with a bit of a snag. Mum was a tad crabby, but I kept my cool. Turns out later it's because she was feeling a bit bloated. Goodness. Women! Went to church a usual and had lunch at Restoran 747 again. This time round, we supplemented our meal with roast pork too. Delicious. Thank goodness the shop wasn't as stuffy as it used to be. Another stall had closed down and that mean more space for the wanton mee customers. Goodie. Kelana Jaya was already halfway to Mutiara Damansara, so we braved the jam to IKEA. SK wanted to get some stuff for her new apartment. With her, everything seems to be "white, white, white"! Did some walking around the flea market at The Curve after that. Such a coincidence bumping into the PLU couple that I saw at the lighting shop the other day. The guy recognized me and I gave him my 40W half-sm...

Happy August Swiped from Playful / Pablo Alfieri . A SMS request from JJ to kick-off a birthday gathering for Bunny prompted the August Babies Birthday Gathering at Rakuzen , Plaza Damas. After more than 100 e-mails, the venue was finally determined but the headcount was still a question mark. By that time, I was getting a little bitchy ( but Junior would contest the severity ), so I handed over the final preparations to Bunny. Poor thing, harijadi sendiri pun kena buat kerja ... LOL. When I arrived at the restaurant at 7:05pm, I was very surprised to find that 8 out of the 14 guests were already sitting there! SO NOT BFF! And for some reason, most of the power couples were without their boyfriends in tow! Junior was even blatant enough to find a hunky replacement ( did not have a chance to interact with the quiet fellow )! Huhu. Due to last minute additions, we nearly had to sit on each other's laps to fit the total pax, but luckily the waitress found us an extra table. T...

IMG_8747 Swiped from mswine . Overheard at the Taman United Wet Market: Lady: Erm, do you know how to make wu tao kau yuk (braised pork with yam)? Vege Seller: Yeah. Lady: The yam need to steam first ah? Vege Seller: Not steam la. Fry. Lady: Fry the whole thing then cut ah? Vege Seller: >_____________ That woman obviously spends more of her time at the nail bar rather than the kitchen! Fry the whole thing... :S. Oh my... I suddenly have a hankering for wu tao kau yuk .

In my room, I have a colour box where I keep my lube. In there is my favourite Durex Play and several other silicone oil-based lubes that were a gift from a good friend in Germany. For some reason, I prefer the water-based variety. Feels slicker and more slippery in comparison. And no matter how light it is, silicone oil still has that greasy feel. One day, I opened the cabinet to find that the blue tube was upside down. Perhaps I had put like that the other day, I thought to myself. Then the other day, while my mum was cooking, the truth came to light: "Aiyoh, the Cyan ah. After his bath, sure go up to your room and open your cabinet. He left it open the other day. I warned him that you would be angry if he didn't close it." Opppsss... Now I know that my little nephew had been removing my lube and playing with it while I'm at work. :S. Luckily my condoms are elsewhere!

KH prefers me to have short hair. No idea why. Personal preference. During my last trip to Singapore, I did not find the time to see my stylist, so my hair was thick and had a good length ( sounds like I'm talking about something else, XD ). When we made love, my hair poked him in the eyes a couple of times ( while some other poking was going on ). Now that I've dyed my hair, I'm gonna put off my haircut for several more weeks cause my colour can only survive 3.5 haircuts. Hehe. My baby will have to suffer my shaggy look for a bit longer! You don't mind right, baby? P.S.: Sorry la, cameras don't focus well on hair in macro mode!

My undergarments are all over the place. And I don't mean that I leave my underwear in strangers' rooms all over KL. They fill two small drawers to the brim and I have to use the bottom of my wardrobe to house the rest. Basically it's unorganized. In heaps. So I decided to make things more systematic to make it easier for me to find the desired type of underwear and make sure that all my babies are rotated. Completely cleared the drawers and started grouping by briefs and boxer briefs / square-cut trunks / boxers. Then I put the the recently-laundered items to one side. Then to make things more visible and to save space, I roll each pair and store it laterally. Now my drawer looks like a box of roses! :P. Took the opportunity to retire some unworn items too, like the jockstraps and pouch that I don't fancy wearing. Some are a bit too tight at the thighs ( celaka ), so I put them away until the day I gain sexier thighs. *sniff sniff*. Hopefully I can stick to this system...

Taiping Mali Cafe Swiped from williamnyk . Having attended vigil mass, we had Sunday morning free. SK, mum and I headed out to Bandar Puteri Puchong to see what's the fuss about at Taiping Mali Cafe . After trying it, I really don't understand why it's always full house there. Mediocre at best. Mum ordered their nasi lemak . It was not a chef's recommendation, so BIG MISTAKE. Even the recommended items are mediocre, what would one expect, right? To be honest, it was a sorry excuse for nasi lemak . The rice tasted funny. The sambal cannot even be called sambal ! It was a whole bunch of onions in chilli oil. Super salah ! The saving grace was the yellow sticky rice with curry chicken. It was quite good. The soft-boiled egg on toast also couldn't make it. The overly done yolk literally stood out on toast like a sore thumb. Forunately, the coffee was quite good. Very smooth. I also see a lot of people ordering the mee rebus and chee cheong fun with yam cake. Both ...

Black Money Swiped from Brian Howell . Went to the market on Saturday with a few surprises in store. Firstly, DBKL contractors were clearing the bushes at the Taman United Market. I did not want to walk near as they were swinging 2-feet long machetes above head level. With people bustling below them, it was just like a freak accident waiting to happen. Don't worry, no "Final Destinaton" scene happened, but they did find some 'treasure' in the bushes! If you guessed snake... then you're wrong. It was a packet of Black Money. It's sad that people get sucked into these kind of scams. Greed is a strong thing and it overrides logic! Even the scratch-and-win schemes are alive and well along Jalan Tun Sambanthan. Ish. At the OUG market, a shady Malay guy was selling boxes of American Ginseng wrapped in brown paper packages. "Suka hati you nak bayar berapa la..." Can you imagine buying such a thing? Eeek. Breakfast was at Kuchai Lama. The famous...

Power to the People Swiped from foundphotoslj . An old ex-coursemate gave me a call out of the blue the other night. No, not to sell anion-spewing maxipads but to catch up. Kay was one the girls from the group ten friends who made up my clique in UM. The rest had drifted away... with the exception of Mel who constantly keeps in touch with me. We've been through good times and bad times. Among my uni-mates, Kay is the more outspoken one. Assertive. Confident. Your typical I-know-what-want KL girl. Once in a while she would call and inform me how things were going on in her life. Sometimes it would feel like she's blowing her trumpet, but I guess that's the way she is. Heh. It has been a long time since I've seen her. Since her wedding years ago actually. Perhaps we should catch up in person one of these days. For several times now she has been snooping into my private life... hinting about a certain someone . Who's the special girl or guy ? I don't thin...

Lunch Swiped from williamnyk . Sunday mass as usual. Went to the earlier session so that we can catch an early appointment with the hairstylist at Michael & Guys , One Utama. Breakfast was at the famous charsiew wantan mee at Restoran 747 . Took up DiGi's 50% off hair services promotion. Told the stylist, YV that I want brown, but nothing too subtle. She flipped her colour chart here and there and went to the back to get the dye ready. After washing my hair, her assistant put the BLUE gunk on my hair ends. She told me not to worry about the colour. Then she put a rotating heater over my head. A halo with a skewed axis. For a while there, I felt like Mayuri-sama's Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō. Later on, they coloured the roots and let it set again. At the end, the assistant did some rubbing washed everything off and brought me back to my seat. Before the towel was removed from my head, YV came back and showed us what colour she used. It was grey. Swiped from sheryldesig...

42-15535403 Swiped from lscomplex . Since mum's in Bukit Mertajam, SK and I went out a little later to the market. There's really no reason to be early cause SK can speed-shop, unlike my mum. By 9:30am, we were done and having breakfast at Taman United. Had a horribly salt-rich mee soya . Ugh. Finished up and headed for home. At around 11:00am, we went out to the law firm in Serdang Perdana sign our Sales and Purchase Agreement and Letter of Offer. Yes, we're finally going to be home owners! I think in total, the documents were 2 inches thick. So many copies to sign. And Alliance Bank is damn ma fan , one has to initial each and every printed page. Halfway through, I ended up not really knowing how to sign my name! Luckily the cheque cleared. Our lawyer explained every clause in the documents to us. Pointed out our rights and the rights of the vendor. Very clear. We applied for the 50% off the stamp duty and got the 20% off for Islamic financing. Asked the lawyer to pr...
