Road Rampage

Image
road rage , swiped from Robert S. Donovan on Flickr. Drivers in KL are getting crazier and crazier. Take the stupid junction at my housing area for instance. Every day, some people staying in Puncak Jalil queue for close to one kilometer or more just to take a turning to the KL direction. Many idiotic drivers do not have the patience for that, so they just cut the queue at the junction. Sometimes due to bad timing and such, those selfish drivers end up blocking the left lane, much to the ire of those who want to use the freeway to the opposite direction. Much honking happens, but they don't budge anyway. Selective hearing. Most of the time, the queue cutters just merge into the lane without even putting on their signal lights. The element of surprise is a better strategy when it comes to such things. Of course in such situations, people would get a shock and honk their horns to avoid a collision. And most of the times in anger because they had been waiting for twenty minutes and s...

Window on The Virgin

Image
Sin.Eat , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Note: This happened some weeks ago and my KH update yesterday supercedes this. Hehe. Chronological order a bit out. Sorry. :P Heard about the Apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Sime Darby Medical Center? You might have read about it in the news. Actually, I was at Yamada the day before and did not notice any commotion. The priest did not mention anything about it. Perhaps there's a "no comment" memo going around. Anyway, to satisfy our curiosity we made a short visit there after having a sinful lunch at Restoran Shang Yi Fatt ( forgive me Father for I had eaten fatty charsiew and curry wantan noodles... ). The turning into SDMC was definitely jammed. I think it took me more than five green lights to reach the junction. Saw many people on foot and we could detect that many of the cars had rosaries hanging from their rear view mirrors. Parked by the roadside and walked to the outpatient building. A crowd had gathered out...

Back In Town

Image
Kiss-In — gay kiss action , swiped from William Hamon (aka Ewns) on Flickr. KH's been back in town for two weeks now and he just finished his first week at work. One would think that it's his honeymoon period as work, but seems that he's into the thick of things right from the start. He's been slowly adjusting ( in terms of working culture and scope of work ) and it seems that his new bosses have high expectations of him ( the higher the pay, the higher the responsibility ma ). Haha. My poor baby was drained after his first week. And his ex-colleagues were worrying that he might not be used to the slow pace of things in Kuala Lumpur. Since he works in the city centre, he can easily use public transportation to get to work. But still, he took refresher lessons so that he can get back behind the wheel ( I'm gonna get a driver soon! ). For now, we meet at KL Sentral after work. Having a coffee and teling each other about our day. And from there, SK would swing over f...

A Simple Yet Luxurious Wedding (?!)

Image
Fruity Goodness , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. After weeks of absence from the market, mum and I finally found the time to go. Even so, it was a shortened trip due to the fact that she still needed to take care of the baby later in the morning. In the afternoon, SK picked me up and we went for lunch with Jaz. He was in town to settle some unfinished business in Malaysia and was staying for a fortnight. He arrived on Thursday afternoon with an Etihad flight from Germany. When we arrived at Yamada , the restaurant was devoid of customers. Even the owner was not there, only his apprentices. We ordered two of their lunch sets and an appetizer. Diverse enough for us to have a little bit of everything. Sadly, the quality of food was a bit off that day. The chawanmushi was hard and a bit tasteless, the miso was too salty and the tuna was so dry that I thought it had been left out in the sun. As we were preparing to leave, a familiar face walked in-- DeanR and his boyfriend whom I had ...

Meaty Morning

Image
Meaty Morning , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Another Saturday morning without visiting the wet market again. Woke up at 8-ish and went out to breakfast with SK. The quality of the wantan noodles seem to be dropping. I can now detect the taste of preservative in noodles. Perhaps they didn't wash them properly in cold running water. Simple jer . Visited the clinic after that. SK had weird lines on her lip area. Straight, but at an angle. As though her mouth was whipped or something. The doctor was baffled too and offered an explanation of skin reaction due to a viral infection. Anyway, he prescribed some cream and antihistamine. Went home to drag my brother out of bed. Fetched him to my sister's place. Popped in a "Jurassic Park" DVD and watched with my nephew. Amazingly, he's desensitized to the velociraptors. Not afraid anymore. Bravo. Continued with "The Lost World". Hahaha. Brought my nephew and brother out for lunch at Restoran Kar Heong , Suba...

LRT Celebrities: Tired Tims

Image
Something to cheer up a post-holiday week Monday! As I rushed into a STAR LRT car one night, I glanced a twink with black-rimmed glasses sitting at one end. Without much thought, I walked over and plopped my big-assed laptop bag in front of him. At close range, he wasn't as cute as I thought. I blame my short-sightedness! Sigh. I noticed that he kept smiling and gesturing to the person sitting opposite him, so I peered into the window in front of me and saw the reflection of his friends! Alamak ! I should have stood the other direction. With no valid reason to do so, I employed some sneaky methods to capture their pics for your viewing pleasure. I pretended to be listening to music and put my iPhone beside my thigh and voila... I have pics to show! Was quite satisfied with the results though they aren't really very cute. Haggard boy next door look ( too many wanking sessions and too little sleep? ). :P. If the boy in the finisher T wore a skirt, I think I would have gotten ...

Teluk Intan Souls

Image
All Souls Day , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Took leave on Friday to visit my late-dad's grave in conjunction with All Soul's Day. There was actually a senior management presentation on that day for my module, but I said "f*ck it" and left things in the able hands of my colleagues. Haha. Woke up at an ungodly hour of 4:30am to get ready. Left the house with Sis and BIL at about 5:15am. The roads were super clear of course. Reached Teluk Intan in record time. Just slept the whole way. First oder of business, breakfast at the market. Had the yummy Kam Kee glutinous rice. The yellow variety is best with curry, while the white is eaten with sweet charsiew . The noodles that we had were quite lousy really. A random choice. Too bad the lai fun was not open. BIL also bought some apam balik and fried cruellers ( the worst and saltiest I had ever eaten from a Chinese stall, but my nephew loved it ). And what's a trip to Teluk Intan without eating its famous chu ch...
