Voodoo , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On Saturday morning, I woke up at 2:30am to send my mum, Sis, BIL and the kids to the airport. Was in a daze when mum knocked on my door. They were going to Guangzhou for eight days. When I arrived back home, it was already 4:00am. Took me some time to get back into deep sleep. Woke up again at 8:30am feeling a little refreshed. SK came over to fetch me and we went to Kuchai Lama for breakfast. Our initial plan was to try Jade Pot at OKR, but we left after finding it desserted ( turns out that it opens for lunch :P ). Took a gamble and tried Dim Sum Yum Cha at Kuchai Avenue. Screwed up place where everywhere you turn is private parking where you are liable to get your car clamped. Well, the place looked good enough. The decoration anyway. Very oriental. But we should have gotten the hint when we were told that we couldn't order tea because the eletrical wiring in the kitchen had died. And when we tried to redeem the free xiao long bao...

All because I had forgotten to terminate it before the expiry. "Aiyah sir, charge already can't reverse. How about use it for another year since you already paid?" This year, I made a very conscious effort to cancel it was earlier to avoid another repeat. So on Sunday after mass, mum and I went e@Curve to burn my rewards points over lunch. Wanted to eat at Senjyu, but they declared that their promotion with Citibank had ended. But strangely, they were still prominently displaying the placards. Wnatever. Went to Sakae Sushi instead. Confirmed with the waitress that I could use my Instant Rewards there to offset the bill. Sat down and ordered. It was really crowded. When my Sakae Chawanmushi arrived, it looked like it had took a tumble down a flight of stairs. The moment of truth came when I w...

It has been six years since you kissed me in my car bathed by the garish lights of a nearby kedai mamak ( romantik sial ). I'm glad I answered "Yes".  Happy Anniversary, KH.

Packets , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. The Chinese New Year mood hath invaded the morning market at OUG. With Christmas and New Year out of the day, the redness just popped out! Decorations, flowers and biscuits for sale. Can start stocking up jor . Keep those Christmas print undies and start wearing red thongs! Ate breakfast at my favourite alley-- clear soup noodles with chicken. Love their soup. When I got home, I packed my work bag and waited for SK to pick me up. Accompanied her for breakfast ( had a nip of her curry noodles ) before proceeding to the office. Walking through Citibank Tower, I observed that they were taking down their tall Christmas tree. Another sign of the impending year of the snake. Wasn't very productive at work that day. Went out for a late lunch at two-ish. Walked into Secret Recipe and asked them to pack me a chicken cornish. The moment I paid and turned around to walk out, I saw that the sky had poured out it's contents. I asked them to bring...

Cream , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Believe it or not, I started 2013 by doing OT. SK picked me up and we went to get KH. Broke fast together at Restoran MCP . Was hankering for some curry noodles. After that, they dropped me at work while they proceeded to KLCC for some jalan-jalan . During lunch time, I walked over to Suria KLCC to have lunch with them at Umaiya . Surprisingly horrible service although they were hardly under-staffed. A whole lot of standing around and doing the wrong thing. Just to get green tea, we had to holler thrice. And one waitress even came with the pot, only to realize that we did not even have cups! Exasperating. Still full from breakfast, I just ordered a snow roll. Maki dusted with dessicated coconut, with a minty after-taste. Very interesting. Halfway through our meal, SK received a call from Umaiya confirming her ealier reservation, to which she sarcastically replied, "I'm already in the restaurant, EATING". What a bunch of idiots...

Bacon , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Note: My back posts have finally crawled to the edge of 2012! Bear with me a while more. Worked on New Year's eve but at least I did not do any OT. Left sharp at 5:45pm and met KH at the LRT station. From Sri Petaling station, SK fetched me home, while they proceeded to secure our table at The Pork Place , IOI Boulevard. After mum got read, we drove out to the restaurant. Took us some time to locate the restaurant because we had parked in the basement car park and once we got out we didn't know which side of the square the restaurant was on. Attempts to ask the security guards were returned with blank stares. Useless. But we did manage to find it after one wrong guess. The gang was already there with the exception of Parco and Briyani. I sat in between KH and mum. Huhu. Reminds me of a classic Indonesian song with the following lyrics: Madu di tangan kanan mu; Racun di tangan kiri mu . Food wasn't all great and they were short-hand...
