will i am's delayed diary

Early on Sunday morning, mum went off with the tribe for a durian excursion at some remote orchard. I slept in, then went for some comfort food at Restoran Yoong Sheng . Love their pork ball noodles. Whiled the morning away working on my Holy Land photobook. If KH was around, the plan would have been sex, sex, and sex! At noon, I went to get my haircut. My stylist had closed his branch at Citrus Park, so from now on I will be going to Gembira Avenue. Settled lunch right at the salon as well. They have an interesting combination of a salon and a cafe. I wasn't particularly hungry, so the oven-baked cheesy toast with egg, and special iced coffee was a satisfying light lunch. Not long after mum arrived home, we went to church for the Corpus Christi procession. The route was approximately 2 kilometers and brought us through the Taman Mayang residential area. The traffic police were called in for security purposes. The Host was displayed in a monstrance and traveled in a decor...

On Father's Day, mum and I went lepak-ing at Paradigm Mall. Had a simple meal of chicken hor fun at Nam Heong . Was a bit flabbergasted that their tiny chicken sou actually costs RM3.80. Spiderman was roaming around the mall as part of some cosplay thing, but it wasn't Eric Lau Lofstedt . Stopped by at Starbucks to use my comp drink. Used it for a seasonal drink ( maximum value! )~ dark caramel frap with coffee sphere. Starbucks' answer to Koi's golden bubble. Truth be told, it was good. Not sickly sweet at all. And the coffee spheres were delicious. I actually finished that whole drink. Well, the drink was great, and so was the view. Starbucks Shin was sitting opposite me the whole time. Such a cutie. Perfect for those who like a good matcha latte. SK jio-ed us for dinner at Yuen Yuen , Taman Kinrara but I told her to avoid Chinese restaurants like the plague. Never a good idea to venture to such places during Father's Day. We ate at Day 9 Kitchen ...

Piles is quite a common problem these days. I went to see a doctor about it a few years back and medication seems that have controlled the situation. Recently, mum starting complaining about it. The pain made her really irritable. The GP didn't do much for her situation. The suppositories were expensive, yet useless. Before the problem got worse, I made an appointment with a specialist at Sunway Medical Center. At 8AM, we were the first in line. The good doctor arrived 2 hours later. He did a quick scope to assess the situation and gave mum some options. We went off with two boxes of Daflon. Coincidentally, mum also had a quarterly follow-up with the gynaecologist, so I drove to Bandar Puteri Puchong. Just a very short visit. Finally we could have breakfast. Tried YOU Fishball Noodles, a shop specializing in well, fishball noodles. The soup was piping hot, truly a breakfast that warms the belly. Simple but satisfying. In the afternoon, mum went out to her society meeting...

KH organized a birthday lunch for Apollo and Andy at 6 Senses Gastrobar . It was a good opportunity to get everyone together. Timing was a tad difficult, as SK had just flew in from Istanbul that morning. 6 Senses is located in Taman Perindustrian Pusat Bandar Puchong, an area that I had not ventured to before. For some reason, most of the light industrial lots along that road were snapped up by bars, cafes, and restaurants. 6 Senses has a nice ambience and some of their food is pretty good. I recommend the Dip in Funghi and Pork Chop. The dip is actually a cream of mushroom soup topped with egg, and served with toast. Its served in a hot stone bowl, making it extra yummy. And it's unheard of for a place to serve set lunches on a weekend, so it's quite a steal. During the lunch, SK let us try some premium Turkish Delights~ multi-hued sticks imbued with multiple flavours. My favourite is the rose petals. Mei came came late because she drove straight up from Batu...

On Raya Kedua, mum and I spent the day at IOI City Mall. She couldn't decide on what to eat, so I just chose white curry noodles at Teochew Chendul . From my FB post, Cutiepie discovered that I was at the mall. She buzzed me for a meet-up, and was there in 30 minutes with her eldest in tow. We had a little chit-chat at Original Banana Leaf accompanied by chapati , puri , and chicken varuval . When the puri came, Cutiepie's eldest did the honours of whacking it flat. Many retail stores weren't open for business, but we still managed to do some shopping. Cutiepie's eldest was running all over, hiding in clothes racks and trying on heels. At the end of of our outing, I introduced Cutiepie to the Family Mart sofuto culture. Hokkaido melon ain't one of their better flavours. Too artificial. Stick with hojicha . Trust me on that. KH joined mum and I for dinner that night. Spotted a hidden restaurant called Ker Jia Zhuang at Equine Park. If you're fami...

Once again, mum and I attended the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers' Hari Raya Open House at Sri Perdana. I had no wish to use the park 'n ride facilities, so I put my kiasu mode on and drove there early in the morning. Managed to secure parking at a field close to the entrance. But then, we had two hours to kills before they let people in, and the sun was climbing steadily. Luckily there was a food truck outside serving ice-cold Milo. At 10 AM, all hell broke loose. The earlier queues disintegrated. There was one geilou behind me who kept bitching that Malaysians had no manners and didn't know how to line up, but ironically he ended up far in front of me. What a hypocrite. The bottleneck was the security check. All water bottles, umbrellas, pens ( yes, pens ), knives, and other restricted items were to be left outside. Once we cleared security, it was smooth sailing. Compared to last year, it was much easier to get a place to sit, and there was no m...

In a break from routine, mum and I had Sunday lunch at Damansara Kim. Wanted to let her try the 'homecooked' Penang food at Restoran Ho Li Chow . We had quite a feast with asam laksa ( recommended ), bihun Siam, and ABC. I was most disappointed with the bihun Siam because of the lackluster taste and lack of lauk . The ABC contained nutmeg shavings which I'm not a fan of, but it didn't kill it for me. Made a detour to Taman Bukit Indah for the opening of Sunday Coffee and Desserts . The whole place was packed with customers who were mostly family and friends of the owners. Simple interior, mostly concrete with wooden and rattan furniture. Can't seat many though. The flat white was to my liking, and I could accept their carrot cake, although I usually shun it. Also tried the caramel custard which is also well-executed, but I'm not really a fan. I was told that their bread and sandwiches are the stars, so I will try those the next time I come. Parking is ...
