Birthday at The Apartment

Image
BDAY2010SK5 Swiped from williamnyk . Note: I made it! Blogged about this before October ended! Last Saturday was my birthday party with the BFF. SK organized ( always a stressful affair ) the potluck weeks ago and after cracking the whip many times and throwing her weight around, she got things more or less settled. It was said to be the largest gathering of the year but it fell short at the last minute. Haha. But that's always to be expected I told her. Never-the-less, it was an excellent party. We had more than expected and the company was good. Here's a quick roll call of the food: SK: Fried bihun & curry chicken CarpeD: Savoury Fruit & Nut Basmathi Rice, curried eggs and Indian Grilled Spice Chicken KT & Ryan: OtahBoy's Otak-otak Junior & Nivlac: Salad Froggie: Pizza ( tumpang! ) EarlGrey & Dae: Popeye's fried chicken Apollo & Adrian: Suchan's Tiramisu Lifebook: Mini frankfurters The Chief: Soya cincau The Jaylex Foundation: Booze! Bun

Chicken Rice & Tom Yam

Braun Buffel Swiped from williamnyk . Last Saturday, I could wake up a bit later cause mum wanted me to stay home to monitor the contractor. The Indonesian worker came at around 8:00am and started work not long after. I still had not entirely wiped the sleep from my eyes, so I just lazed on the sofa watching Rice Rhapsody on my iPhone. Not really very entertaining but it helped me pass the time. A good friend of mine once recommended that I ask my mother watch the movie. I wonder if she'd be receptive. Heh. Two hours and five wheelbarrows later, the worker left for another site to work. Ugh. Mum and SK came home not later bringing breakfast! Had a mixture curry mee, wantan noodles and nasi lemak. Work only resumed at 3:00pm. But at least another worker came along to speed up the digging. At around 3:30pm, CCC came over and we went out to the nearby Giant to visit the spectacle shop. It was an emergency because the spectacle leg had rusted off in the sleeve and he's quite bl

A Slice of Japan

SKJapan201002 Swiped from williamnyk . Here's a little slice of Japan that SK brought back with her. She even smuggled two boxes of sushi in her handbag. :S. Quite an interesting variety. A cute piggy cellphone charm that she got from FOODEX 2010 for herself ( so cute, had to take a pic! ); strawberry and green tea daifuku; edamame snacks ( tastes weird ); A framed-up Japanese doll she got for my mum; Sake ( drunken party ); More sake ( drunken orgy ); Illy Coffee Powder ( caffeine high! ); Meiji Milk Chocolates ( yummy! );

Birthday: Final Wave

Tissot I Swiped from williamnyk . Surprise! Surprise! I still have more birthday gifts to blog about! If you noticed, I did not tell what KH gave me... This was because his gift was belated. But it was well worth the wait! On his last trip to KL : KH: Come over here baby. Sit beside me over at the bed. Moi: K. (...KH faces me...And kisses me deeply, leaving me breathless and wanting more...) KH: I love you. Moi: I love you too... (...My eyes closed...It barely escapes as a whisper...) (...KH takes both of my hands and brings them together...I find my hands cradling a box...) (...I open my eyes and see KH smiling at me...I look down at my hands...) Moi: OMG! Well, maybe it didn't happen like that. Hehe. Tone it down by 75%. And reimagine it again. But it doesn't take away the OMG factor. Holy crap, KH got me Tissot Men's T-Classic PR50 2000 Chronograph! He had ordered it off Amazon some months ago I suspect when he was shopping for a watch for himself. He did show it to m

Celebration #4

Sassed Up Swiped from *love.charmmy . Note: Forgive the staleness factor. I blame it on Acer. :P Yes folks, this is an account of the 4th celebration of my birthday this year. Don't groan yet, it should be the last for 2009. Hehe. A week in advance, Mel booked my time for a nice night out on a Friday. I was so sick and tired of my Fatty Boss' face that I used it as an excuse to leave the office at 5:30pm sharp. Because the appointment was at 6:30pm, I had some time to kill at Midvalley Megamall. Managed to meet up Apollo there although it was his day off, so we had a quick chat. Dinner was at Delicious and we ordered the duck curry with lychees ( weird, but recommended ) and the Thai-style steamed seabass. Mel dressed up for me, wearing a brown dress that showed off her boobs nicely ( I would have preferred more cleavage, but it's wasted on me anyway, hehe ) and even had makeup on. We did our whole attention-grabbing kopi susu BF-GF routine and even managed to camwhore

HangZhou Souv Swiped from williamnyk . Recently, mum went for a China trip with her friends. During the 10 days, she went galavanting around Hang Zou, Su Zhou, Nanking, Shanghai and several other places of interest. From the trip, she bought me a cellphone charm made out of cultured pearls. I especially love the metal fish at the end. It's great that my mum has her kaki to go out and have fun. It's good for her socially and gives me some breathers and "me" time. Now, she's booked another trip to Kuching in November! I'm beginning to look like the senior citizen! SK also recently came back from a business trip to Hanoi. Although she was down with food poisoning, she still managed to buy me loads of souveniers!!! A card made of cloth bits, a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. a fake (AAA) Crumpler laptop bag and an onyx bracelet. Wakakaka. Jangan marah ya... It seems that I also will be going to Hanoi soon. My Fatty Boss finally decided that I should go. Will kno

Monkey See, Monkey Do

The President of my Di Association recently presented me with a cute Paul Frank button badge during his last trip to KL. So gwai ! He bought it so that SK could buy her Paul Frank undies at half price. Watch out people, she's amassing a huge collection as we speak. Definitely someone to look out for in the underwear collector's race. And so, I present the latest family tree for your perusal. Already at v1.2. Several changes have taken place. Among the most notable are Lifebook becoming SK's gor ( a rich one, mind you ) and my di Kenz breaking up with Rich ( :( ). Oh yeah, and SK is no nearer to getting inseminated by Alex. You guys can set up a betting pool. But beware of Savante tilting the odds by means of alcohol... oppps.

Momiji

The ball starting rolling when I bought SK a Momiji for VDay. Luca ( the Momiji's name ) was nicely packed in a colourful metal box with stickers and a button badge. She looks like Avril Lavigne with pink hair and a pair of headphones. Made of porcelein, she's heavy to the touch. Kinda like a blunt murder weapon. Hehe. At the bottom of each Momiji is a slot ( not THAT kind of slot ) that can be used to keep a secret message. Coincidentally, my Mei is somewhat of an insider in this whole Momiji business and was quite surprised that I suddenly showed interest in the collectibles. As a welcome gift, she sourced me a male Momiji that's not selling anywhere in the country. Hehe. Ollie's the name and he too has pink hair, but sports a skateboard on his back. SK reciprocated as well by getting me Silly-Billy, the white-haired cousin of Luca. She came packed in a cute inflated cushion and a cardboard carton. She's the more conventional type, Japanese and in a Kimono. Well,

collageChinaGift Swiped from williamnyk . SK has been travelling to China and HK quite frequently of late and as usual, she never fails to get my souvenirs. Hehe. Loads of 'em. She has discovered many quaint little shops selling designer goods and the little gee-gaws are really quite novel. Although bogged down by poor health, a rushed travel itinerary, she still came back with a treasure trove: A stainless steel ring with anchor motif - Stabilizing! A Benko handphone strap - There's nothing wrong with looking at the world with one eye A very nice pair of jeans - love the colour and the cut A rugged canvas belt One World One Dream: In Commemoration of the the Theme Slogan of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad - A stamp book to revive my drooping philatelic interests A Osaru No Monkichi 2008 diary A keychain + handphone strap with an eye-catching metal button A wood and metal Christmas sculpture A hand-made mini Christmas card Also some stuff for dear KH. She's so thoughtful. :P
