Netizens say that half-rim glasses, face mask, and an oversized T makes a man more attractive. Do you think that illusion is true for Adidas Adrian who was spotted at the OUG morning market?

Finally, it's 2024 at Will.I.Am! On the first day of 2024, Sam ( KH's art lecturer friend ) invited us to participate in the Alfa University College New Year Art Jam event. For 14 years running Alfa University College had invited people from all walks of life to create folk art revolving around the Chinese zodiac. In the afternoon, we went up to Alfa University College at SS15. A bunch of people were already there huddled in the only room with air-conditioning switched on. Before we officially started, Sam gave a briefing on the project, and what we should do. The project is actually a composite mural made up of many A3 sheets. The idea is to get many different individuals to complete each sheet with their own style and creativity. Congruency is not required at all. Mum, Big Monster, KH and I worked on our sheets with various degrees of speed. Art supplies were provided, and in addition to the usual paints and inks, we also worked with mixed media like red packets and bits of q...

Saturdays were usually reserved for cafe-hopping with KH. He brought me to Yasumi , a cafe that didn't look like a cafe. Even the signboard was non-existent, except for a narrow plank at the entrance scrawled with artliner. The past life of that shoplot was retained as here were glass display cabinets that reminded me of stationery shop from my childhood. And the white-tiled bathroom was so very reminiscent of what I grew up with, down to the water tub and the hole in the wall that allowed for two rooms to be lit at the same time.  Later in the afternoon, we had massage sessions at Relax Two Brickfields which was operated by the blind. Would have enjoyed the massage more if the masseuse didn't use that massage stick on my feet. Really hate that. Lots of interesting and old buildings near the massage place. The Sree Veera Hanuman Temple is an ornate place of workship dedicated to the Hindu monkey god and it even features a pair of Sun Wu Kong statues flanking the entrance.  ...

December was a month of meet-ups. Apollo topped the list with two dinners, one for an omakase dinner at Hisho , and another later in the month to celebrate an early Christmas. I wasn't particularly impressed with the Japanese food, but I was really stuffed at the end of the course. The Christmas dinner was a home party to jointly celebrate the Winter Solstice as well. Fortunate enough to have Mei join us. The kids had a great time making tang yuan , while the adults sipped on sweet wine, and nibbled on loaded fruitcake. In the run up to Christmas, I managed to meet up with Cutiepie at the Gardens Mall. And as luck would have it, reconnected with a Form Six classmate whom I had not seen since finishing STPM. Out of the blue, I also had coffee with an ex-subordinate of mine because he wanted some career advice. Then there was another Japanese dinner with Janvier and his hubby. With Janvier, its always more of a drinking session. Breezed through the first half, stay tuned for the seco...

It's the season of giving in my screwed up and backlogged blogging timeline. So here's another ah boy. Gift Garret was spotted at Paradigm Mall PJ moonlighting at the Christmas gift wrapping station. Would you like him gift-wrapped? 

Charcoal rose latte with a kouign amman seems like a good combination for tea time, but that wasn't the case at TOGO Bukit Jalil. The chewy pastry and bland coffee was only bearable due to the appearance of twinky couple of ah boys ( as SimonLover would so affectionately call them ) who busied themselves taking photos the whole time I was there. I wonder if they are as diligent taking photos in the bedroom.

  Pasar Phyo is a hunky migrant worker who works at OUG Morning Market . He is often spotted in muscle tees to better show off his guns. Those big biceps are really an asset when it comes to hauling heavy baskets of fresh produce! Try to look for him inside the central building. Perhaps he'll give you a discount for eggplants.
