Zakumi

2010-Soccer-World-Cup-Mascot-Zakumi Swiped from Shine 2010 - 2010 World Cup good news . I keep forgetting to blog about the World Cup! Last Saturday, JJ was in town, so SK and I met them for a yumcha session at Lotus, Dataran Sunway. Ate their tandoori chicken again. Typical. Hehe. The whole world was watching Korea Republic vs. Uruguay. All eyes were trained on the game except for out table and another table of aunties. Even when someone scored and everyone shouted, we just went about our business. An island of gay calmness in a sea of soccer mania. Anyway, I actually want to talk about the World Cup mascot, Zakumi . In my opinion, he's kinda cute. Bad boy look. Nice, thick mane. Impish smile. And look at that crotch. :P. Waka waka?

Agong's Birthday

Image
Due to my preparations for the Brunei trip, I did not take my replacement leave for Agong's Birthday. So I decided to take it on Monday after I came back from the business trip. After sending SK to work, I proceeded to Taman Desa to return my door card and office keys. Had coffee with Jolin the accounts girl to get some updates and gossip. After packing up my desk ( pindah ofis, bukan letak jawatan! ), I headed for Bukit Jalil to take the LRT down to KL. Stopped at Plaza Rakyat. Construction was still going strong at Puduraya. I walked to Bangunan Chong Keat to see my dermatologist. Purchased some skin supplies for the next half a year or so. Saw a cute patient dozing at the sofa while waiting for the doctor to arrive. If he was KH, I would have kissed him awake. :P. I was too lazy to walk back to the LRT, so I decided to walk to The Pavilion after consulting Google Maps. The scenic route from Jalan Pudu to Jalan Bukit Bintang. By the time I had reached The Pavilion, my back was we...

Metallic Kisses

Image
3-in-1 Swiped from williamnyk . During my K3K Benta Kaya meet-up with Carpe Diem, Janvier and Leggie last-last Saturday ( yes Janvier, this is more like me! ), I offered Carpe Diem a bite of my 3-in-1 Toast. Basically toast with butter, kaya and cocoa. He declined because he did not want to have his braces all mangled up with it before his drink arrived. How troublesome, right? So this got me thinking... How does it feel to kiss someone with braces? During bouts of intense tongue wrestling, would your tongue get caught in the wires? Perhaps something from breakfast is discovered by your partner? Is there a metallic tang? Are there any complications if both wore braces? Would they get caught? Now that would be difficult to explain at the A&E. Would really like to hear some kisah benar !

Shabu Me, Shabu You

ShabuShabu201006 Swiped from williamnyk . Since I was in Brunei, I missed Cyan's birthday celebration. Therefore, we had another celebration at Restaurant Shabu Shabu in Bandar Puteri Puchong. It's a buffet steamboat joint from the same people who opened Mizi , hence you also get the individual pot concept. But the novel thing about it is the kaiten belt. Hundreds of slave boys in their kitchen stuff vegetables, fishballs, mushrooms, prawns, sausages, beancurd skin, chicken, beef, etc into tiny plastic plates ( like those dessert containers on full fare flights ). In between the belts, their staff also go around distributing special items like fried chicken wings, other misc. fried stuff topped with mayo ( they seem to push this A LOT. A ploy to make you feel full faster? ) and most importantly, pork slices! So delish. A few seconds in the piping soup and its ready to eat. I heard that Savante easily downed 20 plates. Cyan was happy beyond belief looking at the conveyor b...

Begawan VIII: Showtime Two and The End (At Last!)

Image
On the second day, Fatty Boss jumped into action again, leaving the audience enthralled and wanting more. Lunch was with Fatty Boss again, but this time at a new shop called Restoran Cahaya Indah . Don't be fooled by the name, it serves chinese food. I ordered their beef noodles and lin chee kang . Both were quite nice. The hands-on sessions during the afternoon went quite well except for some 'expected' weird behaviour from the system. When things went awry, I tried not to look surprised ad just glossed things over. But kinda awkward when the users experienced it themselves and started to ask questions. I think my presentation was quite dry and tried to reel them back in when they seemed lost. By the end of the day, I was exhausted but glad that it was over. To celebrate, we had dinner at Charcoal BBQ & Grill Restaurant . My colleague ordered the 15oz ribs and was kinda put off by the big chunk of meat. Hoho. Luckily I chose the Surf 'n Turf-- a mixture of grilled ...

Begawan VII: Showtime One

Image
Basically got up early to go to the venue only that find that the door was still locked. Sat around with the janitor until somebody brought the key. Apparently the some guy from the project management office was busy the last night migrating the blade servers and changing the chasis. I dunno why they cannot make up their mind on the hardware. Today 4 slots. Tomorrow 6 slots. Today got CDROM. Tomorrow no CDROM. Today USB1.1. Tomorrow USB2.0. Bengong . Luckily things still worked. Was quite lucky that my Fatty Boss showed his face and talked half the day away. I must admit that his presentation skills have improved. That guy can really talk and talk and talk. He knows how to spruce things up and get the attention of the audience. The subject matter was very dry and he managed to actually inflate it with all his hot air. Amazing kung fu . And so, he talked till half time and brought us to lunch at Babu's Kitchen ( we had passed by that shop many times and kept thinking that it was In...

Black Feet

La Feet Tabi Sneakers/La Feet Anti HALLUX VALGUS Tabi Shoes Sneakers - Black Leather 足袋型健康シューズ(Lafeet:レザー ブラック) OKAMOTO-SEIKO 岡本製甲 Swiped from Japonista . Another break from my Begawan arc. I sense that my readers are dropping off like flies. Bersabar ya... Not only is the country boring, I guess blog posts about it are as interesting as watching cum dry. So my question is: Are you a fan of black sneakers ? Especially chunky ones? Think Rockports. Think MBTs. Think black Danish clogs. Just seems wrong to me. Hehe. Sorry, dear. :P. So, how many do you have in your shoe rack? P.S.: I might just open a "I hate black, chunky sneakers" page on FB.
