Work in Progress

Work in Progress , swiped from Kevan on Flickr. "Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong" -- Sounds cynical? Pessimistic? Unfortunately it's kinda true. Renovations have started on my apartment and the problems had been many. Luckily I had SK to help me out! She's a life saver! First of all, the wiring in my living room was shot! The renovator wanted to charge me for fixing it, but SK talked him out of it. Amazing. She had introduced was too many customers to him to be easily ignored. Haha. Then three out of five of the Panasonic ceiling fans that were installed did not work. Have to wait for the Panasonic technician to visit. Ugh. There was some issue regarding the lights in the rooms. Seems that putting them on the ceiling would cast shadows as the fan spun due to the close proximity. So they put it on the walls instead. In addition to that, two of the three down lights had faulty bulbs. Ack. And now I have to replace the front door's knob. I tried to enter...

Coat West Star I: Nagi (UPDATED)

Image
Been getting a lot of hits lately regarding male GV actors, so I decided to do a little tribute to several of my regulars from Coat West, one of the more prominent GV production houses in Japan. The following excerpts were translated from "Mens Egg" magazine in 2009 ( ? ). Swiped it off ssusita 's blog post. Some of it doesn't make sense, but we're used to that. LOL. I've seen Nagi in many vids. He's not exactly my favourite, but I think he was pretty popular. From what I saw, he was usually the bottom. Nearly reed thin with long-ish hair, the perfect example of the Japanese dandy mixed with boy next door looks. From my impression, he's usually paired with Sho and Kazuki. Nagi Name : Komato Hashimoto (NEW) Ex-band member of ALMAZ (NEW) Additional information (in Chinese) :  https://baike.baidu.com/item/NAGI Nickname: Grandpa, Princess Margaret (as long is too beautiful) Age: April 2, 1984 Height: 180cm Weight: 60kg Place of Birth...

Recycled Reindeer

Mr. Wonderland 2011 , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Every year end, mum and I like to go around looking at the Christmas decorations in malls. Last Sunday, we ventured out to The Pavillion after early mass to see if it lived up to expectation. Arrived there at 10:40am, but we immediately walked out to Fahrenheit 88 to have brunch. Was already starving because we did not eat anything before mass. Wanted to try Marutama Ramen because according to KH, it's a famous chain from Japan. We were a tad too early and had to wait about fifteen minutes for them to open shop. In the mean time, we just walked around a bit. Noticed that Santa's sleigh and his reindeers from The Pavillion were recycled and moved to Fahrenheit 88. Nothing goes to waste. Told the cute waiter that I wanted the ramen in chicken broth with pork belly, charsiu and seasoned egg ( perfectly done! ). A little bit of everything. With nothing much of interest at Fahrenheit 88, we walked back to The Pavillion after...

Reno

renovation , swiped from Luciphoto on Flickr. On Friday night, horniness took the better of me and I kinda skanked past my bedtime. As a result, I only woke up at 8:45am, too late for the usual marketing. Fortunately, mum does buy groceries during weekdays so it wasn't critical to go to the OUG wet market. With Cyan in tow, we just went out for breakfast at Seri Petaling wet market. Ate a hearty bowl of fish paste noodles. The stalls were still open, so we went around a bit. Mum just bought fruits because the stalls there sold stuff at a more expensive price. At 1:00pm, I went to SK's apartment to meet the renovator. Needed to discuss the scope of work and iron out the details. Basically, I would be doing the following: Install grill Install air conditioner at the living room (35' of tubing) Install fan and lights Wiring for fan and light switches and extra power sockets Plaster ceiling for walkway to cover ugly air conditioner tubing Put up curtain rods Total damage is MY...

Favola Friday

Image
Venetian Masks , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Being ever resourceful, SK managed to commandeer at Starwood Privilege Card from a friend. The card entitles the holder to 50% off all food items in restaurants that belong to Le Meridien, Westin and Sheraton. So on Friday, SK and I decided to have lunch at Favola , Le Meridien, just a stone's throw from my workplace. The restaurant is located on the eight floor and the interior decoration was kinda nice. I was particularly drawn to whole lot of Venetian masks on the walls. The chairs were tall and comfy and the ceiling looked like the banquet halls of old. The menus were rolled up pieces of thick paper fastened by mini leather belts. In the end, we ordered a couple of chef's recommendations~ Risotto con Cappesante ( with pan-seared XL scallops! ), Conchiglioni Marinara al Cortoccio ( baked in a paper parcel with seafood and Parmesan cheese ) and closed with a Illy Coffee-inspired Tiramisu that was large enough for three ( I c...

Raped!

She asked me to relax. Was told that I would feel some pain. She poked me. It wasn't bad. Stopped a while. And moved around a bit. She asked me to change positions. The angle was wrong it seemed. My poor hands. The doctor was only able to draw blood from my left hand. Hi guys and gals, this is a follow-up post from my cholesterol shocker the other day. Was very touched that many people were concerned with my health. I did go to see a GP to get some advice on the situation. As expected, the doctor did not trust the results from the pharmacy and ordered for another test. In two days, the nurse called and asked me to see the doctor again. It was confirmed, I have high cholesterol levels. The total cholesterol was a bit lower, but the LDL was still at an ugly level. I was given a piece of paper from the American Heart Association detailing the cholesterol levels of common foods items. And she told me to exercise and come back for check-up in three months. That was ...
