Market with Monsters

Image
Sis and BIL were still hard at work clearing their orders before the end of the year. so the Monsters were with me. Brought them out to the wet market on Saturday morning. To make things easier, mum went to do her thing, while took care of the kids. First thing I did was buy a couple of thick apam balik , then brought them to the stone benches at the entrance of Marketplace OUG. No point dragging them around as they would only whine and complain. Fed them the sweet pancakes while waiting for mum to finish. During the wait, I realized that Little Monster kept singing B.E.R.'s "The Night Begins to Shine", a song that he picked up from "Teen Titans". How bizarre. Once mum was done, we went to have breakfast noodles at our favourite noodle stall at the alley. Back at home, mum didn't want the Little Monsters on his tablet all day, so she armed him with a brush and got him brushing the metal grills of the sliding door. Nothing builds character like child la

Decorating Your Christmas Kid

Image
Whenever I go to Atria Shopping Gallery, mum and I usually end up spending some time watching events that happen at the center court. At the final Sunday of December, they had a kids Christmas pageant that saw the participation of more than fifty kids of various ages. We were impressed by the enthusiasm of their parents piling up all sorts of Christmas baubles on their children ( or even turning their child into a giant bauble ). Extra effort by their parents included handmade props and even wiring their kids with Christmas lights. Some were practically transformed into walking Christmas trees. Other kids were made to look like a toadstool, a gingerbread house, a giant Christmas bauble, and a Christmas present. The more conventional parents dressed their children up as Christmas princesses, angels and elves. One little girl of five impressed me with her showmanship. She actually had a rehearsed entrance and routine routine. And she knew how to work the crowd, pose, and move fro

Babysitting with KH

Image
In order to make it to English mass at SIC, we had to get up at 7:00 AM. After getting ready, one still needs to fuss over the sleepy kids. At church, we bundled them into the soundproof family room and hoped that they would not be too rowdy. Big Monster asked me a legit question: Big Monster: Is Jesus dead? Moi: Yes, but he resurrected after three days. Big Monster: Oh, someone threw him a Potion of Regeneration. In case you were wondering, he was talking about something from Minecraft! Obsessed with that game, they are. We ate breakfast at Mian then headed home. Mum needed to prepare for her event in the afternoon. She boiled the tang yuan and packed loads of pots and ladles. There was even a portable stove in the heap of stuff. Sent her out to Happy Garden where she would carpool to Brickfields with her friends. It's daunting to handle the two monsters alone so I employed the help of KH. Picked him up and went for a late lunch at Secret Loc Cafe , Kuchai Lama.

Second Time at Thirdwave

Image
I sniffled the whole of Friday until I stole a tab of Loratadine from KH. That night, I pengsan-ed from midnight till 9:00 AM. By that time, my mum had gone out with my The Tribe. Little Monster had to be at The Gardens Theatre for his concert rehearsal. KH knocked on my door at 9:30 AM. Initially, we were supposed to go out for breakfast, but our morning horniness got the better of us. At 9:35 AM we were both naked in bed and furiously kissing. Unfortunately, real life sex is not like a porn video. I just woke up, so I had to go get cleaned up before we continued to more serious business. I excused myself to the bathroom while KH fiddled with his phone. Once I got that out of the way, we went full throttle. He humped me good till I spooged on the sheets ( opps ). Nothing feels better than ejaculating while your man is inside you. Both of us were exhausted after that session and we were feeling super hungry. Drove over to Nexus Bangsar South to try out Thirdwave 's savoury st

Doiffee, Dinner, Drinks

Image
My last visit to Doiffee , Taman Desa was in August 2014. After more than a year, they have diversified their menu as KH and I discovered. Under their signatures items, I chose a cup of Classic Cham, cafe culture meets kopitiam chic. Truth be told, I wasn't impressed with that drink. Not worth the money. Also tried one of their waffles-- Gorilla Cravings. Why the name? Bananas. In the evening, KH organized a big dinner with my family, Apollo, Apollo's mum and QueerRanter-D. The dinner was at Hai Tian , Equine Park. Apollo's group was early by half an hour while my group was thirty minutes late. The poor fellas had more than hour to look at the menu. But it worked out because there was a line for walk-in customers by 7:30 PM. The braised long ribs looked more like Dong Po meat than ribs, but it was yummy. Little Monster nearly baham -ed all the mantou s! BIL's favourite was the salted egg bitter gourd. And as usual, KH brought wine to celebrate. Asked the kid

A Date with Money

Image
Volunteer work as a form of dating-- guess I can scratch that off my bucket list now. KH likes to join his company's corporate social responsibility activities and when he found out that they lacked volunteers, he roped me in. I was supposed to teach standard 4 and 5 kids about money. We arrived at Sekolah Rendah Subang Jaya at 9:00 AM. A strange feeling walking into a primary school with all the kids around. Normally its five years once to vote. LOL. All the kids were huddled into the hall together with the volunteers. More volunteers turned up and less kids attended. So my help wasn't really needed. Started off with a short briefing and the kids were split into eight groups of six. KH and I got to know our kids ( super hipster names these days ) and we distributed the breakfast packs-- bottled water, a vegetable samosa and a stunted doughnut. When I looked at the training material from Junior Achievement, I doubted that the kids would get it. The "JA More Than Mone

TCM 2.0

Image
Big Monster's school is located in Kuala Lumpur, so he had Federal Territory Day off. Little Monster's pre-school is located in Seri Kembangan so he was in school. Big Monster spent the day at his mother's office so mum and I only needed to handle the youngest. When we picked him up he was dressed in a red shirt. According to him, he had a CNY party at school. Most of his female classmates came in qipaos.  After picking him up, we headed to the TCM for mum's follow up. Her coughing was still as bad. The doctor blamed it on the food she had the night before at MaisonSK. She shouldn't have drank the herbal soup. And to make it worse, it was chicken-based. Even the pakchoy  was a no-no. Difficult. She prescribed another bunch of herbs and sent us on our way. We ate lunch at a nearby kopitiam . We walked there and the sun was shining brightly. Little Monster is a real Puteri Lilin . Rather than face the glare, he would just put his hands over his eyes and expect that

Regia Christmas & KH with Kids

Image
Boxing Day saw me at the wet market. Once in a while, something interesting pops up like the giant lingzhi  displayed by a Chinese medicine vendor. As usual had my favourite soup noodles but spiced it up a bit with curry chicken legs. Lazed away the whole afternoon and in the evening attended a Christmas party hosted by Janvier and The Chief. Like past years, there were several factions of party guests-- BFF ( DanielH was missing this year cause he relocated to Manila ), TTDI-ans and The Chief's family. The BFF were represented by KH and I, BeautifulMale, JJ, Bunny and SK. It was a potluck and as usual the hosts prepared roast turkey ( perfect Christmas feel ) and curry chicken ( perfect Malaysiana feel ). Food was great but the drinks stole the limelight. Janvier uncorked bottle after bottle of sweet-ish red that quickly made BeautifulMale tipsy. And when the vodka-infused watermelon was unveiled, we went crazy. For some reason, our conversation with Bunny that night revolve

Crystalline Christmas

Image
On Monday morning, bundled the kids out to The Pavilion to absorb the Christmas atmosphere. Mum and kids loved it and we took lots of photos. SK also joined us there. For our mid-day meal, we ate at Food Republic . Been a while since I joined the lunch time crowd there. Back when I was working nearby, I used to order the lotus root soup set from Ah Yip's Nourishing Soups  a couple of times a week. Amazingly, the price increased from MYR10.50 to MYR17.80 in just a span of a few years! And the Toastbox  counter is still enjoying brisk business after all these years. Unfortunately, their throughput seems to have dropped. Huge queue there. Also ordered a plate of oyster omelette and kimchi soup which added up the bill to more than MYR50. So much for having a cheap and quick meal at the food court. Haha. Mum had a fruitful shopping spree at Parkson and Ms. Read which is good. At least she got some new clothes. Truth be told, its no simple task. With all the upcoming weddings, she was

Atria

Image
The kids were still with mum and I on Sunday. Brought them to mass with us. Holed them up in the kiddy room as usual to avoid disturbances to the liturgy. While I was driving out of church, I asked Big Monster where he wanted to have lunch. Little Monster immediately got up, pulled my face to the left, and started in a puppy dog voice, "Kau fu... please bring me Jusco... please, please, please...". Wow, the kid knows how to plead and show puppy eyes now. Anyway, went to Atria Shopping Gallery. Our first time them after the revamp. I was warned that getting parking would not be so easy, but I was lucky that day. Atria is easy to navigate. Very uniform, just a long hall, no turnings, no hidden corners. Lunched at Nosh Up , a restaurant serving a mixture of Western and Asian cuisine. I was lazy to go looking around and was attracted by their "kids eat free" policy. The waiter gave the kids some crayons and some pre-printed paper. I ordered the big breakfast and duck

Cutiepie's youngest daughter Belle turned one in April and she threw a birthday bash at Basil House , Kajang. The Indian restaurant had a function hall upstairs and judging by the Doc McStuffins banner on the wall, its frequently used for children's parties. The night before, I went shopping for a birthday gift at Isetan KLCC and truth be told, its not easy shopping for a one year old. Contemplated Duplo but I think it really isn't worth the dosh. Reverted to the classic Chinese gift instead-- the red packet. Cash is always king. LOL. But anyway, spotted something interesting at the toy section-- Polis DiRaja Malaysia Premium Die Cast Collection of police vehicles officially licensed to The Nine Products. Didn't realize that the police force dabbles in merchandising. What's next? Ketua Twitter Negara action figures by Bandai? Gosh. The Tribe didn't go to the party as BIL suddenly decided to bring them to Melaka to visit his mum. So only Mum, Sis, KH, SK an
