Superstar

Image
As advised by the organizing committee, I arrived at STKL before 11:00 AM for my styling session. Finally met the demanding drivers behind my crazy shopping spree the day before. Multi-talented folks from STKL did my hair and makeup. The hair stylist decided that I should have high hair, and made sure of that with a heavy duty dose of hair spray. The make up artist complimented me on my eyebrows, saying that they were very neat. Once everyone had arrived and been made up, the organizing committee briefed us on what to do. Each of us what split into pairs, and my partner was a Malay lady from Kuala Lumpur. Once again, we were reminded on the importance of our roles to showcase the power of Nu Skin's AgeLOC technology. Just like a modeling course, we were given guidelines on how to carry ourselves, how to walk, and pose. They walk us through the whole routine, then left us to practice with our partners. The whole venue was bustling with activity with the ST family giving their...

Superstar Shopping

Image
My testimonial at BOSS Night paved the way for me to become one of the TR90 Superstars during 2018's last Millionaire Summit. Success Together takes the role of Superstar very seriously because showcasing a transformation well is pivotal to helping at least one person in the audience to trust Nu Skin's AgeLOC technology. The proximity to Christmas influenced the organising committee to choose red and green as the colour theme. In short it was time to go shopping. The choice of clothing had to be vetted by the committee. I borrowed a bright red blazer from KH's sideline, and so what was left was to settle the top and the pants. It was my last day of shopping and I was a little panicked. Had to make the best of the Friday evening after work. I traveled from One Utama to Pavilion, and finally back to One Utama to get the items of clothing that fit the bill. The committee was very tough on the particular look they wanted and I had to hunt like crazy for it. I was on the ve...

Cutiepie's Birthday 2018

Image
Booked Cutiepie for her birthday dinner at Southern Rock Seafood , Bangsar. Not located at the posh part of Bangsar, but at the grimier shops near Wisma UOA. I took the LRT there and luckily the rain wasn't too heavy for me to walk over. Our dinner consisted of grilled seabass, their catch of the day, and a pot of mussels. The fish was pretty good, but I must say that the mussels were a bit small. Can't hold a candle to Two Sons Bistro. We also toasted the occasion with wine, and towards the end of dinner, KH also arrived. Interesting to note that they we spotted Aquaman's Christmas tree on the counter. We decided to move to Bala's Banana Leaf Restaurant near TMC. Never been to the place. Judging by the full house, it must be good. As luck would have it, we were seated next to ForIHaveSinned. Such a coincidence!  Got a round of teh tarik, and KH tried their ghee chapati with chicken varuval . Both were fantastic and I must admit that I stole quite a lot off his p...

Wreck-it Ralph II

Image
IOI gave me four tickets for Wreck-it Ralph II  which I collected at IOI Mall. Naturally I offered the freebies to The Tribe, but BIL couldn't make it, so mum took his seat. I spent a couple of hours loitering around the mall waiting for them to finish. Had lunch at Asam House , a restaurant that had been around since the launch of IOI Mall. I recommend the buburchaha there as its the real deal. KH joined me at Starbucks , and we had a chance to talk that afternoon. In the evening, we went to Banh Mi Cafe at Puchong Jaya for dinner. Impressed by the quality of food and price. It's delicious and friendly to your wallet. My recommendations are the chicken salad ( a perfect appetizer with its lime dressing ), goi cuan , and banh mi with stewed meatballs.

SimonSays

Image
Several Simons have the "QB" postfix in my phone book which means that they play for our team. Recently I added another Simon, who is a mutual friend of SimonLover and Janvier. I'll christen him SimonSays. We started off chatting in Instagram and further interaction with him revealed that he's also an underwear collector like moi . Yay! One day, he messaged about a STUD sale in Robinsons,  The Gardens Mall. He was nice enough to offer to get some for me at MYR30 a box. And so he got me two pairs, and we scheduled to meet up on a Saturday afternoon. We met up at Mokka Cafe , Jalil Link during lunch time. Truth be told, he looks better in person, more attractive. And he has a nice voice. Before you guys buzz me about his contact number, he's actually happily attached. I paired Mokka's nasi lemak with cooling cup of Oolong milk cream. And since I had a one for one offer for the Entertainer app, I forced SimoSays to eat. Got to know him better and turns out...

Tater in Town : Dinner, Ice Cream, and Coffee

Image
Whenever Tater is in town, KH and I make it a point to meet up with him. He was staying at Westin Hotel again ( I suspect its due to the cute guys they employ for the check-in counter ), so KH and I gathered there before dinner. Finally passed him the acrylic medal holder to celebrate his induction into the 7 Continents Marathon Club. It had been sitting under my bed for a long time! After a short chat, we headed out to Wizards at Tribeca for dinner. Took us ages to cross Jalan Imbi just to get there. The traffic police just kept the traffic going with no priority for the pedestrians. A very pretty place, but the dinner menu is also pretty expensive unlike their lunch options. We shared two main and a salad. Truth be told, when I exited the restaurant, I was as hungry as when I was walking in. Went back to Pavilion for ice cream and coffee at Stone Cold Creamery ( brings back memories of when Tater was based in Bugis ) and Starbucks . Back at Westin Hotel, the staff were bu...

Like a BOSS

Some weeks ago, KH requested that I share my TR90 testimonial at STKL BOSS Night. Truth be told, I wasn't really keen about it. I agreed in principle, but was prepared to reject him if anything came up at work. I felt it was justified since he kept shuffling the dates around as well. To my surprise, I was slotted to share on Prophet Muhammad's Birthday which was a public holiday. No more excuses then. I started the day bright and early, not wanting to disable my weekday alarm. Brought mum and a neighbour to Taman Naga Emas for pan mee and roti canai . Pan mee was great as usual, but the sambal was too spicy that day. Nearly choked on the first bite. The roti kosong didn't disappoint, it was as crispy as I expected it. Back home, I just lazed the day away. Mum cooked a simple meal of vegetable soup, and asparagus stir-fried with fish fillet. By 5 pm, mum and I were dressed and headed out to Publika. Rained for a fair bit along the way, but I was saved by the silicone ...
