will i am's delayed diary

Swiped from Xie Kitchen . Recently, I've been hearing a lot about people voicing out their need to be pampered, protected, taken care of. They want to feel secure in the arms of their significant other. It can be said that the provider of that security and comfort has to do more "work". But I guess it depends on the person. Some people like to be the provider, some like to be the receiver. But it seems that most people I have talked to regarding this wants to be on the receiving end. Don't we all? But herein lies the catch. If everyone wants to be pampered, who'd be left to do the pampering? Where is the balance? At the end of the day, we don't want each other to be "tired out", being tied down by too much expectations...

As usual, work is shitty, especially terrible after my long holiday in Bangkok. The wheels turn, albeit slowly and groan as they go. Decided to let it all slide and join ex-coursemates for dinner at Big Tree Stump at Imbi. We met at Borders BTS and i managed to buy a cheap copy of Dune. Jase warned me it's boring. God, i hope not as bad as LOTR. BAck to food. Great hor fun, but lousy service. heh. Later spent a little bit of time at KTZ for double-boiled wintermelon. After that, played mahjong at Jase and Madam Neos. Good service this time. Junk food and even vodka with pomegranite juice was served. I won some and lost some. Luckily didnt go through with Erics earlier dare of strip mahjong. Hehe. We were a bit high with talk of bananas and other crap. Adjourned at two and the whole group sent me home. firsthand experienced madam neos look ma, no hands driving style. We all arrived home safely in one piece. Thanks be to God. haha.

collage Swiped from williamnyk . Alright people, here's the lo-down of my FAMILY trip to Bangkok. So no need to ask me about Sala Daeng and Patpong. :P. Anyway, I took Air Asia. The return flight ticket was about $350. It was my first time flying from LCCT ( insufficient signage! ) and I must say, the place is quite impressive. They were not joking about the low cost bit. Heh. The design is all quite flat. Quite shallow. The check-in counters are kind of smushed with the immigration part and let's not get started with the boarding gates. Every "gate" opens to the tarmac. It doesn't really matter which "gate". One has to walk up and down the stairs, from the fore or aft of the plane. Walking down is quite cool, reminds me of United States Presidents landing at military base somewhere in the mid-west. You pause, then wave your hand. Haha. Anyway, the flight was quite ok. Nice seats. But as usual, nothing's free on Air Asia, except the seating...

Nasi Goreng ala William Swiped from williamnyk . Another filler... kakaka. Came home and found that mum was not at home. Called mum and she had forgotten to ask me to kau tim dinner myself. Not wanting to wait for her to ta pau , I decided to cook whatever was in the fridge. Already too hungry. Luckily there was leftover rice, purple cabbage ( yes KH, they do come in this colour. You'll find them in McD's foldovers ), eggs, and fish slishes ( thawed! Thank God! ). Fried the fish and the rest I dumped into the fried rice.The final result was OK la, the presentation not exactly good la ( I'm not the Delacroix of the kitchen ), but it was edible. Washed it down with a glass of milk. Satisfying. Beats the time when my chicken teriyaki nearly caught fire. :P. PS: Di, don't laugh at my cooking!

New Spec Old Spec Swiped from williamnyk . Hi people! I'm back from Bangkok (BKK), not BangCock (BCK) as some people like to put it. No such banging going on. I will write about my trip once I can find the time to compose my thoughts in a coherent manner. In the meantime, enjoy yourselves with this filler post. Hehe. Gotten my new spectacles from David's ( thanks! ) shop some weeks back. I had thought that my power had increased through a cursory check at those machines at the store-front of optical houses. However, after a thorough check by David at his shop, I had found that my power has been stable for the past 2 years. Yay! My suspicions that my power had increased was just tiredness from all the LCD-screen-staring I do all day long. Perhaps all the billberry supplements I've been taking thus far has actually done some good. Anyway, decided to get another pair as a spare and a slight change in look. Rims these days all are quite thick and in-your-face. I, howev...

Victory Monument @ Bangkok Swiped from SooHK in Lens . Hey guys and gals. I'll be off to BKK from Wednesday till Monday. Trying to clear some of my 51 odd days of annual leave. Hehe. So no posts till then, unless I get some kind of internet connection. Toodles!

Shoes Swiped from williamnyk . Famil tagged me ages ago and I brushed it off due to the fact that I don't have quite enough weirdness in my life. Well folks, I've finally dug and dug and found enough to publish. It's quite difficult saying what we do as weird because it has become so intrinsic, so routine. Only an outsider would find it weird. Quite impossible to figure it out by ourselves. Here goes nothing: 1) I count my bath water Since years ago, I've always bathed using the gayung . No showers for me. No baththubs. As such, I always count the number of scoops I use. There's a pattern to it- (3) -> soap / cleanser / shampoo -> (6) -> scrub -> (8). So water-saving hor? 2) I don't like to splash my pee If I pee into those tandas duduk , especially in public toilets, I always make sure that my stream of piss does not hit the water directly. Quietness is the key. Don't now why... Don't want to disturb the peace? Don't want to di...
