will i am's delayed diary

The last I met Zemien was during my Penang trip with the gang. We had the opportunity to meet again in May as he was bringing his boyfriend around the region for their Skank Around The Region Tour. Their travels brought them from New Zealand -> Singapore -> Hanoi -> Krabi -> Penang -> Kuala Lumpur. We were lucky enough to meet up right before KH was to fly off to Japan the next day. Since they were in Bukit Bintang for a shopping binge, we arranged to meet up for dinner at The Pavilion's Ichi Zen . When I walked into the restaurant, Zemien and his angmoh boyfriend was already there. Naturally I offered my had to Zemien, but he said, "Why so formal?" and proceeded to give me a big hug. LOL. Was my first time meeting his BF, whom he introduced as Paige. I had forgotten that Zemien is nine years his senior. If you go by stereotypes, its normally the other way around. KH was the last to arrive. We made two sets of orders and when everything arrived we had n...

Had an unlikely breakfast of CKT on Saturday and bro had his nasi lemak craving fulfilled. Didn't do much in the morning, but bro was busy planning for his upcoming vacation in Italy ( Florence and Cinque Terre ). At around 1:00 pm, SK and I sent mum out to Kuchai Lama to attend a free grooming course. To keep my brother entertained, I made sure that the video player was stocked with enough movies to last the afternoon. Took the chance to have lunch with KH at Casa del Cocco , Taman Danau Desa. Thought perhaps my Mei could join for lunch, but she was on her way back to Batu Pahat for some important personal matters. Actually we ordered a little too much-- grilled pork shoulder ( not recommended ), slow roasted pork ( recommended ) and a Margherita pizza ( recommended ). Such a lazy afternoon. Great to be just being in each other's company and sipping coffee ( while our hands get a little busy LOL ). Got home at about 3:30 pm after picking up mum's birthday cake from RT B...

Late Wednesday evening, I decided to take leave on the Friday after May Day. Not a big deal since I had 10.5 days of annual leave off the books that I need to clear. Realized that I could go up to Teluk Intan to settle my mother's property issues. Wasn't quite sure if legal assistant was working on Friday, so I waiting till 9:00 am before giving her a ring. Once I got the confirmation, we jumped into the car and headed North. But we did have a teensy little time to stop for breakfast la. :P. Arrived in Teluk Intan at about 12:30 pm, just in time for the lunch break. Not quite hungry yet, so we went to Sin Joo Heong to buy their famous heong peah . Funny to note that they have a membership scheme now. For seventy points, one could redeem a cheap looking key chain. Was so tempted to register. LOL. Parked at Jalan King and ate chicken rice at a very old coffee shop by the name of Aik Hoong . Even the wooden signboard was half-rotted. Not many choices as the market stalls ...

On Labour Day ( yes, I know... that was nearly two months ago ), my brother arrived home from Singapore. Impeccable timing as it was the end of water rationing in Selangor. SK suggested breakfast at Kar Heong , Subang Jaya. We all had curry noodles with the exception of Apollo's mum who ordered the sliced chicken hor fun . I pimped mine up with siew yuk . Huhu. Right after breakfast, we raided Jaya Grocer at Empire Shopping Gallery for some groceries. Mum was planning a big welcome dinner for my brother. At half past noon, I went off to pick him up from LCCT. At around the same time, Apollo and his mum went to LCCT too for their Bangkok trip. So ngam . I left mum at home as she was fretting in the kitchen preparing dinner. By the time I had come back from the airport, it was already 3:30 pm and my tummy was still without food. Stopped at Kong Kee Wantan Noodles to pack some late lunch and bro got his keropok lekor and pisang goreng fix. Spent the whole afternoon playing wi...

This is a follow up from my last post about securing new tenants. The air stewardesses and my real estate negotiator both turned out to be a pain in ass. Firstly, the real estate negotiator seemed to be more Hell-bent on protecting the interests of the tenant rather me! The landlord! I was paying for his services! That idiot kept on arguing with me regarding a non-existent wardrobe in the master bedroom. He kept insisting that there was a wardrobe when he brought the tenants for a house viewing. (On What's App) Idiot: What happened to the wardrobe. Moi: There was no wardrobe to begin with. Empty wall. Idiot: Gooottttt. We all saw. Moi: I did not take a picture of it because there was nothing. Do you have a picture of it? Idiot: I did not take a picture too. Moi: Real estate agents should right? Idiot: ... (Days later on What's App) Idiot: Why haven't you put in a wardrobe? Moi: When did I say that I would do so? Idiot: Please remember your promise....

On Divine Mercy Sunday, mum and I went to church and lunched at Paradigm Mall ( my second home ) as usual. Used the LivingSocial voucher that KH bought me-- MYR30 value at Heritage Village Cafe . Perfect for a lunch for two. Chose the asam fish with rice ( unfortunately the chunks of stingray were too far frozen and it showed ), fried rice and ABC. The dessert was very good. Balanced sweetness and the sugar syrup was fragrant. Went for some shopping after that. Bought some random articles of clothing. Walked past Cielo Dolci on my way out and caught sight of some weird flavours that I really wanted to try. All of them were disappointing. LOL. Tried Nasi Lemak, Coconut Gula Melaka, Strawberry Balsamic and Teh Tarik. Ended up going for Fig & Walnut and Lemon Yoghurt. Always a good choice to pair something creamy with something sour. Made a short stopover at Giant BK5 to buy some groceries before going home. Salmon steaks are a must have for the kids' meals these days. N...

Scheduled a spa package for mum on Saturday so I had 2.5 hours of free time. Unfortunately, KH was away in HK at the time, so I did not get the chance to have a bed romp with him. So sad. Rumah takde air, dalam kamar pun kering . The appointment with Tirta Spa, Seri Pacific Hotel was at 1:00 pm. Worried about the KL traffic during lunch time on a Saturday and the fact the part of Jalan Bukit Bintang was closed due to a sinkhole from the MRT construction. Decided that the LRT was a safer choice. But as luck would have it, there was some stupidity going on at the Bukit Jalil Car Park and we had to divert to Seri Petaling to park. Interestingly, mum bought the senior citizen token that was red in colour. I didn't know those tokens existed and can only be used at the extra wide luggage flap gates. I got off at Hang Tuah station while mum and SK proceeded to PWTC station. I alighted at 12:35, but only managed to board the monorail at 1:10 pm. In that period, only three trains arrived,...
