IMG_1655 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . City Revival Church organized a Charity Treasure Hunt on Saturday and I was roped in to help out in my sister and Cin's team. SK joined last minute. I tried asking KK earlier, but he gave me some lame ass excuse that he's car sick-prone. Cin was very excited over it and even exclaimed that she's in it to WIN . Wow. No pressure, then (seeing that it's my first time in a motor treasure hunt and all). What about charity?! :P. Truth be told, my only experience in treasure hunts was gained more than 15 years digging paper clues outta cracks in the wall, under bricks and in the bark of old mango trees. We arrived at the starting point, Holiday Villa, Subang Jaya at 7:00am (imagine what ungodly hour I had to wake up) and found that the organizers had just begun to put up shop. Kena tipu, celaka . Seeing that we couldn't register yet, We went off to nearby Taj Curry House for breakfast. The thosai (not to mention service) w

Cosway Originally uploaded by williamnyk . What you see here is the menu of lunch joint in Wisma Cosway . Pasted on the walls like some ancient commandment. The place is always crowded. Stuffy. The food is hot and served by near-perfect efficiency. The crew-- a bunch of old hags who are obviously underpaid and in serious need of a vacation are seen buzzing here and there. They grunt, scream and scowl. Fabulous. The woman who collects the lunch money when the food is served has a military-like air to her. She demands money like you owe her thousands and that's not counting the interest yet. But for some reason, we keep going back week, after week. Defies explanation. Do you have such a place?

IMG_1083 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Inspired by the French movie Amelie , this post will have my little gnome travelling around the world, seeing the sights. In the movie, Amelie steals her father's garden gnome and takes pictures of it at various famous locations around the world. She then sends the snapshots to her father (how she fakes the postmarks, or why is her father is so dumb if the postmarks are local, is not explored in the movie). As a result, her father decides to stop mourning the death of his wife and go out to see the world. Our first stop, Barcelona . Temple de la Sagrada Familia by the famous Antoni Gaudi (1884 - 1926).

Horse Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Hi, I'm from Italy. I have the sexiest eyes and curves to die for. Everyone says I'm fun and lovely (see the heart on my forehead?). I'm from Italy and clad in the most luxurious red, skin-tight rubber outfit. FYI, I'm also bouncy and go for hours on end. So, care for a ride? I'm going only MYR168.00 a pop... PS: This post is made solely for the benefit of Vengelyne , who was sorely disappointed with the duplicity of my last post.

night ripples Originally uploaded by fotogail . Boys and girls, it's time for movie review time again and this time it's an indie horror set of three entitled Black Night . 3 stories from 3 regions from 3 directors: Next Door (HK), Dark Hole (Japan) and The Lost Memory (Thailand). The stories are not related but have common elements-- water and vengeful 'entities'. Of the 3, I found the story from HK most satisfying. The best effects, the best pace, the best story. It even came with a message-- don't leave your lover alone for five minutes, even if it's to buy condoms. The other two were kind like yawn-fests. The worst was the one from Japan-- sea monster ghost, enough said. Bwahaha. The Thai offering was of a vengeful son. Bad makup, this one, but pretty actresses. The mother gets angry at the promiscuous father and speeds off in a car, which ends up crashing and killing the son. Art imitates life in which there are too many cases of parents takin

Dune Originally uploaded by Kaippally . It's been REALLY HOT in the Klang Valley lately. I used to complain about the thunderstorms in the evenings. Boy, am I missing them now. The nights are stuffy. The air is gummy. Nak tidur pun susah. Luckily, my hair's short now. A lighter feeling ( So iklan shampoo ). However, every trace of colour is now gone. Have to start my Tabung Pewarnaan Rambut William . Every comment left equals a pledge of MYR1.00. *Grin*. Please comment generously. Even if this fails I will not stoop to APT Academy's MYR30.00 guy's hair colouring service. How can one trust a salon where the staff don't even know what products they are using? Pengz.

LaPetit2 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Had an official celebration for SK's successful handing up of her Masters thesis on Monday night at La Petit , Seri Petaling. HP joined as well. The interior is dark as you can see in the photos and we were the only customers when we walked in at 7:00pm. The food was quite good, though. We ordered a Whisky Sour (nice!), a Long Island Tea (could have been better, too watered down) and HP settled for an iced Honey Lime. She claimed to be very hot that night and needed to cool down. I had other alternative ways in mind for her. :P. Anyways, she's allergic to alcohol. It makes her cough. Pelik, kan? The main course was OK, but HP's cheese-baked fish was a tad overboard with the cheese. Ewww. The baked potatoes were also great! The sauce and the bacon bits.... heavenly. I ended up way toooo full. Stole bits and pieces from everyone else's plates. As if I didn't get enough liquor at dinner, my mum opened up a can oh Heiny at

GoogleBuy - Google Money Originally uploaded by labnol.blogspot.com . Touted as the PayPal killer, the arrival of Gbuy is highly anticipated. It has not escaped the attention of my colleagues, but it is for the wrong reason altogether. They giggle at the slightest mention of its name. Proof that the people from Google who thought up the name are not hokkien as well, as in the case of Mel Sampat . While searching for a 'suitable' picture to post from flickr , I came across an exact title match-- a picture of a bun with a striking resemblence to female genitalia, proving that GBuy has already raised snickers elsewhere... But I chose something a little more tasteful. Cheers.

ravagedthosai Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Met up with Mel. Had mamak at Kinrara Curry House, Sri Petaling, The Ultimate Ice-blended at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Jalan Telawi, some shopping at the Bangsar Night Market and back to her place in PJ. We always hop joints. Not our best record. Anyway, the highlight of the day involved a black Vios, scratches on the passanger door, stucco on the Vios paint job and black paint on the corner of the porch postbox. Case closed.

I'm not a customer here! :D Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Lately, I've been getting a lot of comments about my hair. Colleague : William, do you style your hair in the morning? Gel it? Me : Yeah. Colleague : It definitely looks styled. You wake up like what? Four in the morning? (Rolling my eyes) Colleague : Don't get me wrong. It looks good. Like in cartoons. (Look of disbelief) Last week, I was told that I look like someone from DragonBall Z . Truth be told, it's bedhead + 5 minutes of random mussing with hair mud. Effortlessly messy. Time to get it cut, though. Too unruly. FYI, my regular stylist, KKY was recently promoted to Senior Stylist, thus his price too. So I decided to screw behind his back with SK's stylist, Samantha. Same price. Senior Stylist vs Artistic Director. The result is pretty much the same. Just much shorter and thinner. Samantha is more heavy-handed. She doesn't quite muss up my hair like KKY, a bit more conservative. Howe

workaholics Originally uploaded by kaiuhlemeyer . Recently had lunch with CPK, an old classmate from Kuantan at IOI Mall, Puchong Jaya. The last time I saw the guy was at SK's housewarming. Had a REAL hard time getting hold of him. A veritable workaholic. Stays 5 minutes from his office. OT nearly every day. Finds much excuses to work. Brrrr.... I don't know if it's a case of extreme work ethics or just a severe lack of a social life. Says that he's currently putting his love life on hold for his career and immediately the Ice Breakers poster comes to mind: What's the point of having a great career if you don't have someone to share it with? SK and I are determined to save him from himself. But her interests may go far deeper than that. Hohoho...

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'
