Photo-0045 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Aeon Seri Kembangan openend on Thursday after much anticipation. It is the first decent shopping mall in Bandar Putra Permai. I knew it would be a nightmare to go there on the opening day , but you know what, I went anyway. It's not like I have never been to Jaya Jusco before. It's not like there aren't better malls around. It's not like I didn't know that the roads are jammed and the parking would be hell. My sister, mum and I braved the crowds anyway. We parked nearly 1km away and walked in. You can see how bad the jam was yesterdays night through the picture I snapped. A snail's pace. I can't believe we walked that far. A serious case of sua-ku-ness . Or norak as they say in Indonesia. But I must say that Aeon Seri Kembangan has a bright future ahead of it. It's quite nice really, reminiscent of Alamanda Putrajaya. Most of the tenants are from the established franchises and it does not have the

Keratin Basil Originally uploaded by williamnyk . My colleagues and I had lunch at Bangkok Expresso the other day. From the same chain as Amarin . Pricey stuff and the service was so-so. But the Hot Basil Chicken Rice that my colleague ate took the cake. Just look hard enough in the photo and you can see the hair in the midst of the hot basil leaves (they look like tea leaves here). Even more shocking is my colleagues response to it. No need to replace la. They'll most probably just remove the hair and give me the same thing. Is service *that* bad that we won't even bother?

I have been cheated. I have no say in my future direction. Secrecy prevails...

My company is abuzz with talks of organizational changes. Everyone is worried about how they will fit in into the new structure. Instant messages are flying back and forth, pouring in from many channels. Rumours aplenty. I'm going back for a meeting tomorrow morning. D-Day. Opportunity is knocking. What's the buzz, tell me what's happening, What's the buzz, tell me what's happening, What's the buzz, tell me what's happening... -- excerpt from Jesus Christ, Superstar

Photo-0026licin Originally uploaded by williamnyk . You have someone you don't like living with you? Just get a bottle of Licin-Licin from your neighbourhood grocery store and mix one cap-full into half a pail of water. Mop the intended area throughly. Let it dry. Then place a rug over it. Stay clear of the area, or you might just slip and break your neck. Disclaimer: The contents of this post are for entertainment reasons and do not expressly represent the opinions of the author.

Photo-0039 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Another gem from my Saturday trip to Sungei Wang Plaza. Hidden between travel agencies. An introduction agency. A marriage broker. Aptly named ICE BREAKERS . I love their tagline of "Why Stay Single!" . Like it's a choice we all actively make. It claims to be the the nation's biggest professional multiracial introduction agency . Source unknown. Here are several reasons to use their services: 1) Our co. is working towards ISO9000 - I'm only aware of ISO9001:2000. At least you'll rest assured that they'll not mess up your profile and pair you with a babboon. 2) More than 20 yrs in introduction service - Backed by a long history! 3)Choice of friendship, companionship, marriage and language exchange - friendship = one night stand? companionship = live-in partner? language exchange = can anyone enlighten me? 4) We are affordable - 'Affordable' for desperate people most probably equals big bucks 5)

Saturday marked the second KTV session of my life's history. I marked the first one at RedBox Ria, Sogo. Interestingly, it coincided with my official 3rd anniversary at my company. Yeah, It's my first job and I'm still there, and people wonder why I've not left. But that's for another post. Back to the present. RedBox, Sungei Wang Paza had the honour of being my second. FK, SK, Soon, CK, MY and I flocked there by 11:00 am to enjoy the lunch special. Just pay for the lunch and you get to sing free for 3 hours. Standard RedBox premises, but the room reeked of stale ciggies and citrus deodarant. Blech. Our playlist was quite diverse, ranging from dangdut to Chinese oldies to the ubiquotous Chinese pop. Sad as it may seem, but the highlight of the whole session was the threesome, rousing rendition of Theresa Teng's "Don't Pick the Roadside Wild Flowers"! I had a blast introducing them to Inul Daratista's "Goyang Inul" and other classics

This post was triggered after reading Zemien's post . It's all very strange. I noticed that I keep having the same conversation over the span of a couple of years. It's always the same flow. A message will come out of the blue from Yahoo! IM (my alternate profile, for, eh-hem, 'forays' into chat rooms). It goes a little something like this. XXX : Hi, my name XXX. XXX : Are you there? I guess you're not there. nvm. Me : Yeah, I'm here. XXX : a/s/l Me : 25/M/Malaysia XXX : I'm shy to ask you this. (blushing emoticon) Me : ? XXX : I'm horny. You mind cybering with me? Me : Uhhh. I'm at the office. Some other time perhaps. XXX : Oh, come on... Me : Really, no. XXX : Well, your loss. XXX : If you change your mind, check out my profile at YYY ( And of course the profile has some link to some questionable porn site. ) I think I've had this conversation at least thrice. With some minor variations of course.

100 Days 100 Roids Originally uploaded by roidrage . My blog has reached the milestone of 100 hits. Yay! I'm pathetic. Gawd. The next milestone is 900 hits away... Minasan! Kite kite . Don't shy, shy. Come see, see. Your patronage is much appreciated.

This is the first time I've received such crap. I'm sooooo tempted to help out Afshin. The grammatical errors add a pinch of realism to the e-mail.

Zemien tagged me. Its his way of 'thanking' me for loyally commenting on his blog. This is the first time, so I'll layan it. :D. In no particular order: 1) Receiving 'real' e-mail. Or better yet, receiving 'real' snail mail. 2) Having some 'me' time. 3) Walking barefoot on grass or sand 4) Running my hands through a soft, comfy blanket 5) Smelling wet grass after an afternoon shower 6) Taking a loooong piss after holding it for too long. :P. 7) Reading a good book. 8) Gossipping over a frappucino. 9) Having good company. 10) Receiving a sincere compliment. Since I practically don't know much other bloggers who read my blog, I tag Shaz . Amazing that we have keep in touch for so long after just a chance meeting on the Putraline bus. Cheers.

IMG_1077 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Have you ever been in a rut? Why do we dig deeper and deeper into our problems? Why are we so pig-headed and blind at times? I have chosen silence. I have chosen to watch from afar. I have chosen to let nature take its course. We all have our own crosses to carry. Is it the right choice? Only God knows. Some lessons are harder to learn than others. Currently listening to Karunesh's Solitude. In Urdu, about despair. How apt.

Photo-0031bollystairmirror Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Took this picture at a friend's place in Seri Petaling. I edited the original to add a mirror image. It's not perfect, I know. I'm no Adobe Photshop expert, OK? Putting that aside, the stairway reminded me of those old Hindi movies where one of the main characters live an big 'ol mansion with those big double stairways near the main entrance. At the ending sequence, the hero's mother would run kena belasah and roll a long way down those steps to protect her son. She would end up half dead at the bottom, living long enough to just whisper some sordid family secret into the hero's ear... Luke..... I'm your ....... father.... Wrong movie.

Photo-0033goldfishmem Originally uploaded by williamnyk . I dropped a bomb on a good friend the other day. I could have kept quiet. I could have filtered out the negative vibes. But it was not to be. I dropped the bomb. She was devastated. A repeat for her. I can only guess what she's going through. Even though we talked it over, I still sense some kind of awkwardness and avoidance. Some things aren't so easy to iron out. Sometimes don't you wish that you have the memory span of a goldfish...

I had dinner at this hawker stall @ OUG the other day whilst waiting for my mother to arrive home from Cameron Highlands. Thank goodness I had plenty of time to kill. The stall is marked as Various Fried (!!).   I ordered a plate of Hokkien Mee and it took them ages. I seriously contemplated leaving. I was so bored that I took a photo of my foot. However, it did make me notice the colourful mosaic tiles on the floor. Those tiny mosaic tiles are such a rare sight these days. I used to see it on pillars back in Kuantan. So Byzantine. Oh well, the plate of noodles eventually came, and it sucked. Normally, when you're extra hungry, mediocre food tastes extra good, so you can imagine the standard.

Attended a housewarming of an ex-schoolmate on Sunday afternoon. She bought an apartment at Bandar Manjalara for MYR260k. You'd have to fork out an extra half a mil for a landed property there. She just renovated it for MYR20k and you know what, she's not gonna stay there. She's gonna leave for Singapore to work by the end of this week.       Great buying power. I wonder why I'm not making half as much as her. Oh yeah, I'm a lazy underachiever. Her ex-coursemates at the party were an interesting bunch. But the best was Sam. She was recounting her whole slimming experience. One jab here, instant slimming. One jab there, shapely thighs. No side effects! Chilli Diet. Slim Wrap. You name it, she's tried it. Scary. I left after a while. Didn't quite fit in. www. flick r .com    More of williamnyk's photos tagged with Nadia

Headed over to MidValley with Mel on Saturday. Started early to avoid the anticipated YDPA B'day + School Holiday crowd. We just managed to enjoy 5 minutes of congestion-free parking bay hunting. The cars started pouring outta nowhere. Mel actually did some shopping this time. She actually bought something (unlike the whole X'mas shopping fiasco 3 years back when we actually walked all the floors without buying a thing). We wanted to watch a movie, but the queue... impossible. Had lunch Anna Lakshmi. Nice South Indian vegetarian fare. Each as much as you like, pay as much as you like. We paid MYR20.00, then the cashier asked us for MYR1.00 extra. He pointed to the counter. Emblazoned on it was a GST notice from the Malaysian Customs. It didn't occur to me then, but I should have said that I'm paying MYR19.05, and MYR20.00 is already inclusive of GST. Over at Centre Court, some Over the Hedge promotional junket was going on with clowns and all. Children were singing alo

Friday was kinda an eventful prelude to the long weekend (I took Monday off as a replacement for YDPA's Birthday, wohooo). Mum went off gallavanting to Cameron and I was left to my own devices. Met up with SK, HP, and I met up with FK for a nice Teo Chew porridge dinner at Peng Hwa @ Old Klang Road. Had FK order the dishes. She was liek a drill sergeant. A nice spread of stewed pork intestines (with a borderline high cholesterol level, I didn't touch those. Anyways, HP couldn't bear looking at them and squirmed when FK put one in her mouth), stewed mui choi , braised peanuts, baby pak choy , ikan masak , stir-fried aubergines, stewed tofu and eggs. Too bad, no photos. FK was kinda worked up that night, much steam to let off about work. We politely obliged. After dinner, I went off to meet another bunch of friends from uni. KK was bugging me to get yum cha session going and I managed to set one up that was up to his "standards" ("at least 4 participants, and

"So the same problem happen again to our few customer. Please make sure the same thing will not be happen again next time." So sue me. That's what I get for being nice. B*tch .
