will i am's delayed diary

Patrick Star , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Saturday morning saw me at NSK Trade City. Did the usual rounds of marketing and breakfast at Restoran MCP . Filled the lazy Saturday afternoon with a screening of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides". Not bad la. The preacher should have stripped off his shirt sooner. Later in the evening, I had a dinner appointment with a reclusive VIP. Mr. X was back in town in a shroud of secrecy. SK and I were warned not to breath a word of his visit! At about 6:00pm, we picked him up and we went for a steamboat buffet dinner at Shabu Shabu House . The moment he stepped into my car, SK nearly gasped for air due to his musky EDT. She actually wound down the window. LOL. He was a bit apprehensive about the dinner venue, but after being told that there was air conditioning, he was reassured. Putera Lilin . He looked pretty much the same ( dressed in a tight A&F T again! ). Hunky as always. And he was kind enough to bring me yumm...

Flip-flops for the Dead , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Went to the market on Saturday after a short hiatus and found that Ching Ming preparations were in full swing. Paper prayer items for the dead were piled high. All the latest gadgets were available. "Miss... this is any massage chair... this is THE massage chair! 天王椅. You know or not?!" The latest from OSIM and promoted by Andy Lau no less. Had a quick breakfast at an alley and went home a little earlier to escape the morning sun! It was hot that day. Went home for a while before going out again for lunch at Mek T , Puchong Jaya. This time round we tried her nasi sokmo ( kinda like nasi briyani with two pieces of stewed chicken, egg and curried pineapples ), laksa Terengganu ( the noodles did not have a good texture and the gravy wasn't hot enough ) and kar pek hu sah ( a white, steamed variety of keropok lekor that is 90% fish meat! ). With our bellies filled with the East coast goodies, we drove over to IO...

Breakfast & Tea Time , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Come Friday, my boss was still on leave so I told him that I would clear another day of replacement leave. Took the chance to do some banking chores at Maybank after a breakfast of nasi lemak . Was kinda pissed at the service provided at the Taman Equine branch. It was practically devoid of customers that morning and the customer service officer kept harping that my mother needs to fill up her ASNB form before proceeding. I just flashed him a form that I had previously filled up. Annoying. At the counter, we told the teller that we would like to try for 5000 units of ASM. As she was keying in the transaction, she asked for my mother's identification card and the cash withdrawal slip. I was like, "Wah! So lucky ah today, managed to buy so many units". Then tengok-tengok she said no units available. So stupid right? Why bother ask for all the supporting documents if you can't even secure the transaction? And...

Terengganu Goodies , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Since my boss was not in the office on Wednesday, I notified him that I would be taking half a day of replacement leave in the afternoon. Packed up and took the LRT down to Bukit Jalil. In my blur state, I took the Ampang train instead of the Seri Petaling train and ended up in Miharja. Crap! I got off and went to the other platform to catch the train back up to Chan Sow Lin. I boarded the next train that arrived. And you know what? I went back down to Miharja!!! Double crap! I noticed a gweilo making the same mistake. During my second time at Chan Sow Lin, I made sure I boarded the correct train. Ugh. What a waste of time and money. At Bukit Jalil, I had to waste more time walking to the parking lot near Stadium Putra due to the stupid Proton Power of 1 exhibition. By the time I picked SK up, it was already 2:00pm. Lunch was at Restoran Mek T at Puchong Jaya. A fast food style joint for Terengganu food. Owned by a Chinese lady,...

The Milk Tea Craze , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. KH recently came back to KL to attend a friend's wedding. Since Friday evening, we were unable to schedule a meet-up, though a short one. In the end, we met up on Monday. I had took leave to spend the day with him and celebrate his birthday. In all our years together, I don't think I had properly celebrated his birthday, so this was a good opportunity. Timing was good. Surprisingly, the traffic was excellent on Monday, so I arrived at KH's place at around 9:00am, much earlier than expected. Was supposed to bring him to Woo Pin at Taman Desa, but I forgot that it was their off day! Thank goodness I had plan B-- House of Ceggo . Shared their special bitter gourd pan mee. The soup base was very good and was wafting with the aroma of rice wine and ginger egg omelette. Loved it. After that, we went over to RT Bakery to buy some bread for SK. But I guess we were too early. Their bread was hot from the oven and couldn'...

... , swiped from Leigh Righton on Flickr. The ten days in KPJ Damansara were not pretty for SK. Bad wardmate - the Indian woman watched Bollywood day and night at full blast and talked on the phone loudly. SK paid an extra MYR80 a night and upgraded herself to the single room. Food was crappy and the portion was pathetic - tofu in porridge :( Spinal leakage - her procedure had caused a leakage in her spinal membrane, so the pressure in her skull dropped, causing her brain to sag. And that caused a host of problems ranging from severe headaches, nausea and weird sensory perception. The whole time, she could not sit up or stand for long. On Saturday morning, mum and I brought her breakfast and packed off most of her luggage because she was gonna be discharged later in the afternoon. After lunch, Lifebook came to pick her up and send her home. True to the usual sui -ness, Prudential's system was down and she could not settle her insurance claim. But she paid a deposit and left anywa...

Silent Scream , swiped from Charlie Barker ♥ on Flickr. On and off along the week, Briyani Blue Sky and I would visit SK at the hospital. Luckily Briyani stayed close to the hospital, so he would normally pack her dinner after work. One day as I was walking from Bukit Jalil station to the car park to get my car, I received a distress call from SK. It was a whole lot of screaming and yelling and yelps of pain! Kinda like childbirth! Yikes! Confirming that she had already called the nurse, I quickly drove over to Damansara Kim in the rain. Halfway there, she informed me that she had stopped shivering and cramping after the nurse gave her an injection. Phew! By the time I had arrived, Briyani was already there, sporting his.. ahem... pai kia haircut. Completely shave both sides, leaving an unruly mop top above. :P. Definitely an attention-getter at his brother's wedding. Asked the nurse what happened and she explained that she ran a high fever of 39 degrees ( ! ) so the doctor presc...
