Anonymous. Swiped from chezrump . Here's an update on my facial condition. After my third appointment with Dr. Chang, he declared that I need not go back for follow up treatments anymore! Yay! Prescribed me a two-month antibiotic course and asked me to continue with his cleaning regiment ( "your skin will become prettier and prettier" ). My forehead is now back to normal after two months ( and more than MYR300 ) and the ones on my cheek have begun to subside. Since I was there, I let him check out the itchy and scaly patch on my foot. Tried all sorts of fungal creams on it, but it still didn't go away. "I'll have to scrape it. It'll only hurt a little." He put on his surgical mask. Pulled on some latex gloves and a scalpel magically appeared in his hands. He scraped the dried skin on to a piece of glass. Some chemicals from reagent bottles were then dripped on it and put over a flame. Having done that, he examined the dried skin under a micr...

Koyak

Your heart beats next to mine Swiped from annfrau . The koyak you see in my post is not the same as in Janvier's context as you will see: Bina ayat dengan menggunakan perkataan "koyak". Ayat anda haruslah menunjukkan maksud perkataan tersebut dengan jelas. Semua plan I pada hari ini koyak kerana keadaan yang tidak disangka terjadi. OK. It's not clear, so minus one mark. :P. Anyway, I was working on Saturday ( my stupid client declared a mock run ), so I couldn't make it to Frankie's birthday party. It was the perfect chance to meet up with the bulk of the gang. One stone kill many birds. :P. But, no choice lah . So, I thought that I could meet them after the party. I was already quite late, work ended at 6:00pm and I called the gang to ask about post-party entertainment. I was torn between staying in KL and leaving for home. However, I couldn't get a straight answer ( for tersirat and tersurat reasons, hehe ) so I just decided to go home. I foun...

I am a little snowed-under at present. Swiped from archidave . Recently, I've been going through a rough patch at work. I'm still in deep shit. And you know what, the effluent is up to my nose. There is a chinese saying that best describes my current status: Attacked from ten sides . Yes, the workplace gang rape of sorts. These are days when the phone doesn't stop ringing, the e-mails don't stop coming and the problems don't stop popping up. Mutiple sites. Multiple environments in one site. Ad hoc demos. Politics in the office. Resource constraints. Pressure from the management. Double shifts. Felt like I was being pulled apart. Too much on my plate. No focus. And good help is hard to come by these days. But I'm grateful for whatever I have right now. Can only hope that I'll emerge from this stronger. And I noticed that my social life is kinda zilch at the moment. Does this mean that it's time for a promotion? Heh. No interest in that. Being ca...

Tanggal Tiga Puluh Satu

_DSC2395-Edit-Edit Swiped from by_cobalt . Remember "The Sound of Music"? The courtship song for one of the Vonn Trapp girls sung in a garden? "I am sixteen, going on seventeen..." Yes, the nocturnal crooning of a sexed-up teenager trying to get into her knickers. I kinda feel that way right now ( not referring to the sexed-up bit as that's a universal truth )-- lemme explain. My cover version is a little different: "I am thirty, going on thirty one..." In case you're confused, no it's NOT my age I'm referring to. It's not even near my birthday ( for the ignorant ones out there, it's on the 9th of October by the way ). It's my girth. My waist in inches. Pants size. Ugh. Just as BAD as age. I'd never thought that one day I'd slip into a pair of pants and actually FEEL my ass filling it up. Then, uh-oh, can't buckle it. Crap. Have to go shopping for slacks. DanielH... discount card oh..... P.S.: Have yet to tr...

Running then Blocked

Jim Thompson in Glass Swiped from williamnyk . Recently, I made another short business trip to BKK and it wasn't pretty. More of those last minute ad hoc things. Here's the gist: KUL-BKK in the evening after a full working day. Had slight flu. Had a painful descent to the flu. Arrived at the hotel in BKK at about 10:00pm local time. Discovered that a room wasn't reserved for us. Blamed us for not booking. Stupid. Can request us to go over, but we have to request for a room to stay. Takkan tidur bawah jambatan?! After a quick shower, started to work past midnight because my boss wanted to show something not available in the demo system. Slept. Woke up feeling like crap. Had a horrible runny nose all throughout the demo. Had lunch. Caught the flight out (BKK-KUL). Had another painful descent. Found my ears blocked. Immediately consulted a doctor when I reached KUL. Started to cough. The cough has persisted till this day. Declared to my boss that I'm doing that a...

Gen-erous

collageGen2 Swiped from williamnyk . For those of you who know me, I'm crazy about Japanese food. The raw variety more specifically. Nothing salivates me more than succulent pieces of premium salmon sashimi with side of shoyu and wasabi . So far, Xenri tops my list of top-notch sashimi , but recently, a close second was added to it-- Gen Japanese Restaurant , The Legend Hotel. It claims to to have the longest Japanese buffet spread in KL. Finally tried it since Citibank Clear card holders get a 30% discount on Thursdays and Fridays in the whole month of April. Was there with Kenzon, Rich, KT and SK. SK treated me. :D. Thanks dear. Other than the salmon, their sashimi spread included maguro , squid, tako and butterfish. The raw oysters were also quite fresh ( got horny later in the night after half a dozen, but I doubt it's related :P ). Noteworthy dishes also include their sukiyaki ( I loved the broth and the beef slices were tender ), grilled crabs, unagi , clams...
