Vitya Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Sent HP to Puduraya, but she was unable to get any bus tickets back to Kuantan. Friday night is a bad time to travel. Since it was a failed trip, we had an unoffical celebration for SK. She finally submitted her thesis to the university for senate approval. Supper at Vitya Curry House , Taman Desa. One of the few places that serve drinks in metal cups. For hot drinks, there are two cups, one tall and one stout. One should pour the piping hot drink from the tall cup into the wider-mouthed stout cup to cool. Then drink from the latter. According to my colleague, such drinking technique is only practised in certain regions. Try it out for the novelty factor! And one more interesting trivia about Indian culture -- the people there don't really take to iced drinks. You order iced coffee and you're likely given a strange look! Hot, hot drinks for a hot, hot country.

Wild Hair Skateboarder Originally uploaded by jeffclow . Remember Avril Lavigne's "Sk8ter Boy" from a couple of years back? I listened to it on my MP3 player while commuting to work the other day and for the first time , I noticed the lyrics. And you know what? The lyrics gave me goosebumps .

Happy Easter!!! (^o^) Originally uploaded by doc18 . Had a catch-up yumcha session with CK and KK at Rabbit Cafe , Seri Petaling. I was promised by KK that it would be a nice quiet place with a great atmosphere. Well, I was had. The place was dang noisy. Two large groups were having a birthday bash. And the F&B disappointing. The ordering process was a pain. First, the variety causes your head to spin because you don't know what to have. When you DO decide, they'll tell you that this is not available, and that is not available. I was tempted to ay, "WHAT IS AVAILABLE?". I had a go at Champagne Bubble Tea. And let me tell you that a nasty blue drink came to the table tasting of bubble gum rather than champagne. I'm a sucker for weird stuff. The yam cake was also strange. Deep-fried yam paste. Golden brown on the outside, paste-like on the inside. Instead of yam, I got black-eyed peas. Standard conversation. Exchange of niceties. Mengumpat . Talk cock.

Hit, Miss, Hit Originally uploaded by cobalt123 . My web logs indicates multiple visits from 'someone' in Arizona, Phoenix. Recently, I found out 'who' that is. Drum roll....................... It's myself . Bikin malu je . Found this out after a little experimentation. The number of returning visits corresponded with the number of times I load my blog. Pengz... And I thought I had a stalker from the U.S.

medc_reg Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Attended the Microsoft Mobile & Embedded DevCon 2006 (MDEC) on Tuesday. Arrived at the Sunway Convention Centre at 8:00am. I bloody woke up at 5:30am that morning for no inconceivable reason and forced myself to sleep till 6:30am. As usual, the Sunway Toll on the LDP was jammed. People are never on their lanes. Left wants right, right wants left. Nice. Anyway, I tried to register when I received, but they couldn't seem to find my name... Usher: Good morning, sir! You're registered as a ..... ? Me: Morning. Err, I think under delegate. Usher: This way sir. What's your company name? Me: *Censored*. Usher: Ohhh, that would be at this line. (My turn arrives) cute registration girl: Good morning, sir. Your business card? Me: Morning. (I hand over my card, she struggles to find my record) cute registration girl: Can you repeat your information again sir? (I repeat myself, meanwhile another girl joins the fray) Ano

While looking through my logs today, I found that a google search for the term "Joey Wong Pantyhose" actually returned a result to my blog. Pengz. What kind of fetish is that?! Secondly, I'm wondering what is 'interesting' in Arizona, Phoenix? Hmm...

restsunsea Originally uploaded by williamnyk . It's been years since I ate the famous pork noodles at Sun Sea Restaurant @ OUG. Some people like it because it's an amalgam of pork noodles and seafood noodles, some hate it for that same fact. Oh well, can't please 'em all. Anyway, it's been nearly two years since I tasted it. And oh boy, how it has changed. The price has increased from MYR3.00 to MYR4.00 and they have stopped putting in the 'spare parts'. No wonder the aunty was so pissed when I kept reminding her that I did not want the innards. There's none to begin with. If you want liver and intestines, extra charge le... However, they're still as busy as ever. JUst look at the big collection of multi-coloured mugs, all ready for the take-out customers. See the basin of fried pork lard and money strewn on the counter... yeah, business is still thriving.

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

IMG_1586 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . 7th Day of the 5th Lunar Month. Insects awaken. Bad Hair Day. 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'

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

IMG_1486 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . If you're all wondering, it's not my playground. That song from Madonna just suddenly came to mind. 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 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?

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),

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.

At rest Originally uploaded by williamnyk . It's been ages since I've actually seen a live grasshopper. The one I photographed is either high or half-dead as I could get really close and it wouldn't even bat an eyelid, ... compound eye membrane or whatever. The memories of terrorizing grasshoppers as a kid all come flooding back to me: 1) Whack them with flying slippers 2) Immobilize them, then put them in the midst of scavenging kerengga who literally tear them to bits 3) Helping my bro stir fry them in a pan Those were the days. I wonder what kids play with these days?

Annoyed Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Took this photo on the Star LRT. There's obviously something not right about these two. For some unknown reason, the girl sat with her back towards the guy. Yeah, I know the guy's face memang menyampah a bit, but she acted as though the guy's a pervert or something. And the guy kept on looking at her with an annoyed expression. I don't think they're a couple, both got off at separate stations.

Cleaned the cooker head today. Such an exotic way to start a post, huh? Nothing much happened today. Sunset mass. A quick nip over to Ikano and The Curve. Just to have a look at some furniture at Harvey Norman and visit the new MJ. Saw the ugliest handbag there. Quite quiet for Father's Day. I haven't celebrated that for 9 years now. Polishing my shoe yesterday reminded me that my late dad taught me how to do it.... Back to Mutiara Damansara. Most restaurants were empty. One table of diners at Royale Bintang was serenaded by a two violins and a cello. Too bad I couldn't get a pic. Another girl at The Curve bazaar area caught my eye. She was eating a chicken wing, but she was so intently staring at a couple that she forget about the wing in her mouth and jest let it hand there like the number '7'. Hilarious! Oh yeah, can anyone tell me what's at Cineleisure? Is it up and running? Finally supper at Old Klang Road. Had a fantastic Bak Kut Teh with lean meat, tail,

Started the day by doing chores. Ugh. Polished shoes. Washed the grimy kitchen windows. Cleaned the fan. Then it was off to a little outdoor fun. Last Thursday I braved the crowds at Jaya Jusco Taman Equine , and whaddya know, I was back at it on Saturday. This time with SK who needed to do some grocery shopping. Since my mum didn't get to buy the as advertised cheap sale household items, I decided to let my auntie-ness shine. I grabbed the four cheapest items that I needed. 1) Naturel Omega Blend Cooking Oil - MYR15.99 2) HL Fresh Milk - MYR3.50 3) LTK Omega-3 Eggs - MYR2.89 4) Sau Tou Abalone Instant Oat Noodles - MYR9.99 (premium MSG) I regretted buying the milk. I regretted trying banana flavour. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT get it in that flavour. Tastes damn artificial. Kinda like liquified cheap banana cake. Ugh. The highlight of the whole trip was an appearance by Jaya Jusco's celebrity ambassador...... Siti Nurhaliza !!!! Ho hum. All the Malay shoppers flocked to cente

IMG_1481 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Some extra posts today since I'm completely cut off from the internet on weekends. Just some updates about work. I've given a very good opportunity to try something new. Many new things actually. I know there's a stick, but the carrot is still quite vague. I know this sounds cryptic, as Zemien likes to say, but it is a mystery to me as well. I'm just playing along hoping that it'll pay off. However, it does entail some major role change on my part. Kinda like being thrown in the deep end of the pool after spending so long in the kiddy pool. Sink or swim? (Literally, I can't swim. :P. Been thinking of getting lessons for ages) Perhaps I've been in my comfort zone for too long. I can't help but think I've been put up to the altar . We'll see, we'll see.

Kenanga Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Berkshire Hathaway Holdings' stock is up to USD3,060.00 today. Yikes. But this pales in comparison to its price in the 90s-- a whopping USD80,000.00 . One can scarcely believe. Warren Buffet. Bukan manusia ke?
