Dim Sum And Duck

DuckHouse Originally uploaded by williamnyk . After church, SK and I went for a late breakfast. Our target: Dim Sum at Seri Petaling. The first stop was World of Dim Sum at Jalan Radin Anum, a place that my sister brought me years ago when I first came to KL to study. We had the standard fare of siew mai, ha gau, chu cheong fun . We would have ordered more, but the stuff was cold ! How to eat la. The food was actually good, no MSG aftertaste, good minced meat texture, but it was cold. Ugh. Feeling unsatisfied, we headed to another shop, Pan Ki, a favourite of KK's. The Dim Sum there was piping hot. Ordered 'phoenix feet', ribs, Cha Siew Bao and Wu Kok . Unfortunately, it was way too salty for m y taste. I had to wash my mouth out with water an hour after that meal. Another 'Ugh'. I still remember the best Dim Sum I had in KL was at Shangri-la. MYR9.00 a serving! Fantastic. Crystal Jade Palace in Singapore is also another good place for Dim Sum. I hear that

Note: Couldn't resist starting my post ala 'East Evil, West Poison' style. :P Had the house to myself again this weekend with mum at camp somewhere in A'Famosa, Malacca. However, I hardly spent any time at home, mostly chilling at SK and HP's place and guess what, Jusco Taman Equine again .The only moments I had at home I spent watching DVDs that my mother would have found objectionable . I really should get a DVD-ROM for my PC. Or better yet, a decent PC. There's always something to say about Jusco. This time round, I found it really a family-oriented place. Chock-full of kid. Unruly kids. Unsupervised kids. Tearing all over the store. Like some brood of mutant insects from Starship Troopers . Running around, bumping into things, lying on the floor, shouting... Don't get me wrong, I love kids, but please keep a tight leash on them. Don'

Pay Day

ATM Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Pay day for me, is on the 25th, which so happens falls on a Sunday this month. Anway, with banks working 5 day-weeks now, payroll transactions aren't performed on weekends anymore. Either on Friday or the following Monday. I just accessed my accounts internet banking site. Looks like it's gonna be Monday. :(. So leceh these days, can't do banking on weekends. Even 2 Saturdays a week is better than none. We can't do everything at self-service branches. Those machines are a blessing and a curse at the same time. For those who know how to use them, they are fast and efficient. But for those who don't, they get turned away at the counter after waiting in line. The machines don't give you attitude, but they can always be under maintenance . And ATMs always run out of money when you most need it. Perasan tak? Talking of attitude, the other day when I went to the Tiger bank to stop payment on my cheque at the branch, t

This Used To Be My Playground

Perhaps currently I'm feeling a little bit like the girl in the picture. There's a whole selection of cool stuff on the playground, and she's just 'settled' for the dinosaur ride. But see the blank expression on her face? It's just not quite what she expected. Her legs are too long. She looks stuck. What the hell am I rambling about....

Get Lost

Get Lost Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Eye-catching isn't it? Found this at F.O.S. A corrupted version of the famous phrase from Jerry Maguire . Shut up. Just shut up.....You had me at hello. You had me at hello. Awwww. Romantis banget sih. . *rolls eyes*. Read the monologue here . T-shirts are getting more and more interesting these days. Can't beat those ah lian prints that have bad grammar and don't mean shit. And I really hate those "I'm a sex coach, first lesson free" prints. Anything interesting in your wardrobe?

East Evil, West Poison

Bedouin thoughts Originally uploaded by BidWiya . I finally finished both movies and I can now present my report. Sediu Ying Hung Tsun Tsi Dung Sing Sai Tsau Dung che sai duk 1993 1994 Brigitte Lin Third Princess Mu-Rong Yin / Yang Leslie Cheung Huang Yao-shi Ou-yang Feng Maggie Cheung Sage The Woman @ Ou-yang Feng's sister-in-law / lover Tony Leung Chiu Wai Ou-yang Feng Blind Swordsman Tony Leung Ka Fai Duen Long Huang Yao-shi Jacky Cheung Hung Chi Hung Chi Carina Lau Chou Po-tung Peach Blossom Joey Wong Huang Yao-shi's Sweetheart [Scenes Deleted] It's funny how nearly the same cast from the ultra-stupid version came back to do the ultra-arty version. Somehow I found "Ashes of Time" more entertaining now. Perhaps my tolerance is higher now. Their lives are all screwed up. Intertwined with each other. Everything in the story relates to Ou-yang Feng, a hitman agent. where to begin... Huang Yao-shi promises to marry Mu-Rong Yang's sister (Mu-Rong Yin),

Bent Back

bentback Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Brought my mum to the Chiropractor yesterday. Complained of a stiff shoulder and neck. The doctor performed dry needling on her to loosen the muscles, and it seems that her muscles were so stiff that a few needles were bent. Scary stuff, her back had swollen areas after the whole treatment. Have to go back on Friday, hope it works. Later had dinner downstairs, a vegetarian place called Chat Masala. As you can see, the walls had nice ethnic paintings on them. The food was OK. We had chapati, thosai and rava thosai . One complaint though - the floor is *really* slippery. Luckily they have a chiropractor upstairs. Must be some kind of synergy.
