Pavilion SpyCam , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On Sunday, mum and I went to English mass. Afterwards, we went to have breakfast at TTDI before making our way to IJN to visit my uncle. Met my sister there too. My uncle had been moved from the ICU to the normal ward. When we arrived, he was sitting up on his bed and seemed OK, just a little fatigued. The long scar snaking across his chest and leg was healing well. According to him, he felt fine, except for the fact the he couldn't sleep at night. Mum and Sis stayed on to wait for my aunt, while I left earlier to meet Nichonick and Nicky05 at The Pavilion. Second time meeting Nichonick and he had a friend with him, Ren, his ex-roommate. They were in the Peninsular for their convocation. Did some aimless walking around while waiting for the rest. Ended up sitting down at Food Republic. In the end, Ding and Nicky05 arrived. Only Ding and I had not eaten, so they watched me down a kaya butter toast set from Toastbox. Amazingly, one...

Breakfast , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Busy period for Sis and BIL. Most of their clients were rushing to print thousands and thousands or diaries and calendars for 2013. So Sis had to work on Saturday and mum's marketing routine was derailed because she needed to babysit. As a result, I got to sleep in a bit and go for a wantan noodles breakfast at a coffee shop nearby. With SK off to Kota Kinabalu for a company trip, I was tasked to look after her granny's meals. Packed some noodles and YTF and sent it to her. Immediately after that, I rushed to my colleague's wedding mass at Holy Rosary Church, Brickfields. Luck was not on my side as it started to rain and the Lebuhraya Bukit Jalil was jammed up like nobody's business. Took a detour and went out via Jalan Puchong instead. Arrived fifteen minutes late as I took a wrong turn and ended up in Jalan Petaling. By the time I sat down, it was already the first reading. Holy Rosary's old world style Gothic archi...

give a heart , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On Sunday, mum and I went to IJN again. Grabbed a latte from the Gloria Jean's kiosk there and found that the staff there made coffee hearts ten times better than the branch at Bukit Damansara ( who by the way usually don't even bother or make coffee buttocks! ). My uncle was finally scheduled to have his surgery but everything still seemed so unsure ( earlier on, he failed the spirometer test and he blew so much into that contraption that he felt dizzy and needed oxygen! ). We were told that he was to be operated on on Monday, but that was subject to availability of a bed in the ICU. In the afternoon, he was wheeled over to meet the anesthesiologist. Details were still sketchy cause after all, he ain't the cardiac surgeon. All the preparations were done with the assumption that the operation would happen. The doctor said that it would be confirmed again on Monday morning. So much uncertainty. At night, Sis and BIL booked me...

Chili Pan Mee , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Been going to Jalan Raja Laut for a series of meetings, so had a chance to eat at Kin Kin Pan Mee . My last time there was after the Serendah trip in 2007! We arrived a little before noon, so we did have to jostle with the lunch crowds. The first thing I noticed was the fact that the walls were no longer scribbled with crazy notes saying that they have no official branches. Five years later, the wall is used to advertise their branch in Pandan Indah. Go figure. I wonder if the Kin Kin in Publika is genuine. Perhaps not. The pan mee is still good and we even ordered some meatballs to go with it. Just a little of the hot stuff set my tummy on fire! Anyway, as luck would have it, seated next to us was three gay lous . With my colleagues around me, I risked taking a spy pic of them. Hope you enjoy the shot. In addition to this, let me throw in something from the LRT reject bin. Quite bad quality ( my skill, not the subject ), but I...

Lui Cha Again , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Did my usual Saturday ritual at the wet market. But to break the monotony, we had breakfast at a new joint that week-- Restoran Siew Foong . A relatively new place that we frequently observed was closed. Seeing that it was open, we jumped on the chance. As we walked in, we could a whole bunch of staff doing preparatory work. A little girl was reading at one of the tables and upon seeing us walk in, remarked: "Sorry, we are not open for business. We are undergoing renovation." Stunned for a while, because we saw a woman actually making YTF at one of the tables. A man suddenly rushed out to shush the girl and welcomed us in. :S. Weirdness. The place served Hakka food, so we ordered their lui cha with brown rice and a bowl of homemade fishball noodles. The lui cha was quite good. Rare to see shops serve it with fried sweet beancurd skin. The soup was also fragrant enough and not the usually watery fare. I gave it a good...

Dad's , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Visited the market again as on most Saturdays and had loh pan mee for breakfast as OUG. Been ages since I ate at that shop. Used to stay there during my undergraduate days. The uncle who sold wantan noodles no longer manned the shop. Guess that his son has taken over and in my opinion, the noodles are better now. Interesting to note that the shop had a whiteboard inside that highlighted the pros of MLTA against MRTA. The owner must moonlight as an insurance agent. Personally, I bought MRTA cause my premium wasn't too expensive and I have no short term plans to dispose of my property. Some time at noon, went over to Empire Subang with SK for some shopping at Tangs. Unfortunately, the advertised sale wasn't really as exciting as thought. Didn't buy anything. Lunch was at Chilli's . Rarely eat there. Not really a fan of Western food and their policy of not allowing guests to take their seats if the whole party isn't ther...

Guinness , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Braved crazy Friday night traffic to meet up Gratitude, TZ and KY at Ah Wet Thai at Bandar Puteri Puchong. Occassion: Gratitude's birthday and to celebrate the severing of toxic social ties. Due to the unfavourable traffic conditions, we arrived late about fifteen minutes past eight. The gang was already waiting there and were sipping cold pandan -infused water. My first time meeting KY. The cute hunk was dressed in a tight, vintage Smurfs T that made Gratitude remark that he was getting more and more tai zek . Did some quick ordering and we ended up with a giant salt grilled snake head. When that fish was served, my jaw nearly fell to the floor. I think it was nearly 1.5 feet in length and it was painstakingly skinned, giving us easy access to the generous and tender meat inside. And it came decorated with long chunks of cucumbers, making it look like a dragon boat making its way across the table. That itself cost MYR60! The rest of t...
