O2 , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Note: A late post... Not related to SK's current hospitalization :S SK had been coughing and coughing and coughing and wheezing for a week plus without respite. Since the GP couldn't do anything for her, the next logical step would be to visit the specialist. The diagnosis-- bronchitis. According to the doctor, with her breathlessness and if she was any older, she would most probably had collapsed way earlier. They hooked her up on oxygen and steroids. And yeah, she was immediately warded. After I came back from the office, I took a cab to Taman Desa Medical Center. Waltzed in with a packet of vegetarian tomyum noodles as she was not thrilled with the hospital food. The staff were extra nice. Fake smiles all over the place. Felt a bit weird. Must be some new management directive. And I guess they can afford to be nice when there was only eighteen patients at that time. Hardly over-worked. Took her car and went back to her apartment to pac...

Argument , swiped from gilmarcil on Flickr. Note: A little story perfect for this Lenten season At the AHP Building Maybank branch: A Malay woman was using the only cheque deposit machine in service. She had a stack in her hand and was busy sorting out the next cheque to feed into the machine. A Chinese woman suddenly burst into the branch and said in the bitchiest tone she could muster: "PLEASE don't hog the machine!" The Malay woman rolled her eyes. Turned to face her with a fake smile and let her use the machine. "OFFLINE?! How come offline?!" Patiently, the Malay woman guided her which button to press. Apparently the Chinese woman did not know how to operate it. The Malay woman continued to patiently help her key in the required fields. Not feeling so high and mighty anymore, she meekly replied: "Thanks a lot... You can use the machine now." She swallowed her pride and rushed out. It is amazing what a little kindness can do. Bravo to the Malay wom...

IMGP4699 , swiped from § Tilly Mint § on Flickr. In case you don't know, our beloved central bank recently introduced rules to further tighten credit card spending. According to the new guidelines, people with an income of 36k per annum or lower can only own two credit cards and the credit limit should not be higher than twice the monthly income. Late last year, Citibank had already sent me an official letter highlighting the issue and asked me to submit my latest EA form. HSBC on the other hand decided to ask their Tele-sales team to give me a frantic phone call the other day. In broken English, the fellow asked me point blank what my salary was ( like I was going to entertain an unverified phone call ). I was like, "Don't I need to supply supporting documents?!", to which he said I needed to submit three months of my payslip and my EPF statement for 2011. Wow. One would think that I was applying for a 500k housing loan. I asked how why I needed to submit so many do...

KH: Mum, I'm going downstairs to swim. MIL: With William ah? SK did not come? KH: Yeah mum, with William only. MIL: Behave yourself. Goodness! My MIL thinks I'm a skank! We are always prim and proper in public! Some horsing around in the pool never hurt anyone! :P. Hehe. Just some playful gropes. And the new N2N Bodhi Blue Zen swim trunks that KH bought me were absolutely divine. I'm sold on the idea of elastic-less swim trunks. Felt like I was skinny dipping and the trunks were loose and there was more space to 'grow'. Hehe. Felt kind of insecure though since only the drawstring was holding everything up. But makes for one hell of a sexy experience. Needless to say, that swim session left me with another serious case of blue balls. :'(.

ptptn-logo , swiped from Cuti Malaysia on Flickr. Do you have a PTPTN loan? Have you tried to call their hotline ( hot translates to temper here )? Have you been to their customer service center at Wisma Chase Perdana? If you have you would probably be familiar with their level of service . Recently, they opened a PTPTN One-Stop Center at KL Sentral. SK wanted to settle her loan so I went there on her behalf to try to get a release letter. I took a number and waited. There were only six customers in front of me and there was four counters open. You know what? Half an hour passed before I was serviced. Not surprising at all looking at how they work. Retrieve the next queue number Service the customer Spend ten minutes after the customer left doing back office tasks like stamping, photocopying and God knows what Sit back down at the counter and idle for five minutes Retrieve the next queue number I was like... why the heck are the front office people slowing down the whole process by ...

Red Packet , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Tagged along with KH to a lunch gathering with his friends, HL and KS. Since HL is a vegetarian, we ate at Yishensu , One Utama. The whole restaurant was manned by lethargic waiters. Pengz . 'Meat' was high on our list of dishes with faux roast goose, curry fish, stir-fried chicken and beancurd. Over lunch, I was sad to hear that HL had broken up with his ang moh boyfriend. I had met both of them over tea at Pappa Rich just the year before. KS on the other hand was new to me. Quite an interesting character ( dressed up in a tie and leather pants! ) who regaled us with stories of his days working for a Malaysian Anna Wintour who bought him Prada shoes and other luxury items in exchange for his soul . After cam-whoring and saying our goodbyes, we quickly sent KH to the Immigration Department at Kelana Jaya to collect his passport. A literal fish market-like atmosphere. Immediately after collecting it, we went to nearby Aman Suri...

Food for the Soul , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Fried bihun was my breakfast on third day of CNY. Basically lazed around at home till about 2:00pm when SK, KH and I went out to meet Janvier for a late lunch at Ka Fei Dian , Amcorp Mall. Ate nasi lemak with a cup of teh c . In addition to catching up, the main purpose was also to continue with Project Video Exchange. I brought my lappie along to copy his collection of "Hercule Poirot" and "Miss Marple". Too bad my laptop ran out of juice before I had the chance to dig through his extensive porn collection. Along the way, we discussed about how cruisy the toilets at Amcorp Mall were based on Pluboy's observation. Never thought that I'd be so lucky to experience the answer personally. I went to use the toilet at the ground floor after having cake and tea at Secret Recipe . The row of of ten urinals were unoccupied when I walked in. I used the seventh urinal from the entrance. And as luck would have...

Homemade , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. As a change, we went for a mamak breakfast at Restoran Rishadh . My brother ordered three roti canai ! He must be so deprived in Singapore. Unfortunately, after that heavy breakfast my brother was down with the flu. So he missed out on Gratitude's CNY lunch invitation ( thank you, thank you, thank you ). Arrived in Klang at about 1:00pm. Gratitude was still cooking at the time. SK and I went to the kitchen to kacau him while my mum chatted with Empress Dowager. On the dining table was several dishes-- ayam masak merah ( heavenly! ), stir-fried prawns in soy sauce, stir-fried mixed vegetables, cincalok omelette and roast pork ( amazingly home made!!! ). After lunch, he made us Chinese tea and we sat in the living room munching on cookies and chatting. Did some camwhoring in the living room too, was so fun seeing Gratitude and SK jostling for a more flattering angle. :P. Before heading home, we went hunting for Klang pineapples at t...

Love and Pride , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. One night, I went over to KH's place as his parents were out gambling. Didn't skank all the way, but it was great pleasuring each other after a long hiatus. We enjoyed every bit of each other. Lapped each other up. With the orgasm still fresh in my mind, KH produced a pair of rings ( not cock rings! ) and still in a state of undress he knelt in front of me and slipped it over my finger. It was a pair of matching platinum-gold bands from "Love & Pride", a gay and lesbian jewelry specialty store ( trust him to go all the way ). Our third commitment to each other in our five years together ( meaning this is our third set of rings and I still wear all of them regularly ). Although I had been calling him my hubby long before this, this was a sweet gesture that I would not forgo. Baby, thanks for all the good times and thanks for sticking with me through the bad. I love you baby. Happy 5th Anniversary and Happy Vale...

Red Altar , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. True to tradition ( my family's recent tradition at least :P ), on the first day of Chinese New Year we would dress up for church and before going out, red packets would be exchanged. Same like last year, mum gave a red packet and wished me smooth-sailing in my career. There was no mention of finding a girlfriend like what my brother got. Actually, this was the same as last year, just that I thought it slipped her mind. This kind of confirms that she has 'given up' on me in this respect. At about 9:00am, we headed to church for the bilingual mass. Although mass was at 10:30am, many people were already there to get a good seat inside. Red was found at every corner of the church. A red arch was erected at the entrance, flanked by many red lanterns. A giant couplet was hung beside the crucifix, and the manger was replaced by teak furniture, plum blossom trees and a big backdrop of the holy family. The altar was also decked in red ...

Food Coloring , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Even before we went for the Hong Kong trip, my mum was already fussing about the fact that she would have soooo little time to prepare for Chinese New Year. Knowing my mother's penchant for 'anxiety attacks' and 'indecisiveness' when trying to get things done, SK helped a lot by buying her the necessary groceries like fish and prawns. When SK needs to buy anything she walks into a market and exits ten minutes later with tonnes of stuff. My mother on the other hand, takes ages and comes out with nothing of significance. And later complains later that she needs to go out grocery shopping again. She seems to delight in the hassle of making multiple trips. And regarding spring cleaning, I knew my mum would go ballistic, so I secretly arranged an Indonesian maid to come over and do the major stuff like scrubbing the toilets, cleaning the windows, washing the fans and cleaning the porch. Gave SK the keys and she superviso...

Cold Taro , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. KH flew MAS back to KL on Thursday night but I only met him on Friday evening after getting off from work slightly earlier. None of my colleagues had any mood to work on that day. LOL. And my GM only let us go at 5:00pm. Meh. But anyway, it was great having KH in my arms again. We sat down at Hailam Kopitiam in Taman Desa. The interior tables were off-limits due to a private function, so we sat outside instead. A gay Myanmarese waiter fretted over us the whole time. :S. True to his style, KH came bearing many, many gifts! Firstly, he helped SK transport her 5kg statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was very beautiful, a pure white marble statue. And for me, he bought lots of underwear! Lets just say that my quota for 2012 has been filled. He really knows the way to gay man's heart! I'm gonna be a bitch a jemur nyawa here by posting an inventory: JOBY GorillaPod Hybrid - an extremely useful tool for camwhoring. I immediately ...

XUX , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Believe it or not, I have some leftover cuties from my HK trip, so before I forget, here they are. And here's an example of their personalized car registration plates. People can be so creative! MOMO , BEN BEN And oh yeah... Yoshinoya seems popular over there. I see it more than McD. And KFC is so rare! One more thing-- SASA . Everywhere also SASA! Here one, there one. It's like a bad case of syphilis! Will be back to my regular programming tomorrow or the day after. Stay tuned!

Dragon's Egg , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On our last day in HK, we busied ourselves packing ( almond biscuits take a lot of space! ) and finishing our cherries and pomegrenates. By 11:30am, the cleaner had arrived. The landlord also called for some final instructions on the checkout. Because our flight was at 8:30pm, we had to find some place to loiter. But it was challenge since we had a whole lot of luggage to drag along. Taking a chance, we relocated to Times Square . I scouted the building to find a suitable place to squat. Found a food court in C!ty Super with ample space. Unfortunately, come lunch time, we had to justify our presence there. We ordered food whenever we got strange glares from the cleaning staff... kinda like paying rent. Bored as we were, we took turns roaming the place. Nine floors of shopping and I bought nothing. Haha. For lunch, mum and I shared a bowl of ramen from Ganpachi and a box of sushi. At mid-afternoon, Mr. Singh picked us up and sen...

Flower Shop , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. One of the reasons we came to HK was to see how the locals prepared themselves for the coming Chinese New Year. And the bulk of the action happens at the Prince Edward area. Once again, my brother fell prey to the inclement weather and grounded himself at home again after coming out all the way. Flower Market Road was really lively and super-crowded! Most of the real estate had already been taken up by the plants and there were plenty of customers jostling to buy flowers for their homes. The baby stroller was very unwelcome there. People gave angry stares and some even remarked that the market wasn't 'a place for kids'. Goodness. Among the more popular items at the market were narcissus ( came by the crates! ), Phalaenopsis orchids, nipplefruit ( got to love the name ), yellow chrysanthemum, kumquat trees, peach trees ( I did not see any pussy willows at all ) and various red flowers. Flowers didn't quite appea...
