Traditional Viagra

Traditional Viagra Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Can't get it up lately? Waning sex drive? Non-existant libido? Distrustful of established pharmaceutical companies? Couldn't care less about double blind tests and FDA approval? Would prefer something more holistic? Well, don't I have the answer for you... UBAT LELAKI KUAT . Just call the number, if you're desparate enough.

Jam Fest

mysojamfest Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Lotsa activities at Cineleisure Damansara . Apparently something called the MYSO Jam Fest . A Red Hot Chilli Pepper Wannabe Band Search; Extreme sports; Indoor bball; Rodeo rides ( don't expect the Edie Britt scene from Desperate Housewives, but one plump girl really beat all the others in terms of staying power ); sumo wrestling ( remember when X fought Tim Curry at the pre-Stick Man Fight Party? ); Jousting ( think American Gladiators ) and slipper throwing.

Pensonic Friends

william_quah Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Met William Quah at The Curve as he was doing a promotional junket for Pensonic, AmBank, etc. I've never met him before in person, but I remember him from his early days on TV doing HotTraxx ( or some other music chart show to that effect ). He was really stiff back then. Like a Ken Doll. Later it was on MTV. I remembered he had robotic hand gestures. Like planks had been tied to them. But he's SO MUCH BETTER now. Relaxed. Natural. I expected him to be taller, but he's still taller than me. My friend Mel has seen him hanging around Bangsar and Amcorp Mall, and according to her, dia memang layan adiknya dengan baik . It went something like this: ( The floor was practically devoid of spectators and I was grinning broadly to the side ) William Quah : Blah, Blah, Blah... Would you like to win some prizes from Pensonic? Me : Sure. William Quah : What's your name? Me : William. William Quah : That's a *GOOD* name. Me :

Bangi Sake Surprise

IMG_1798 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Yet another free dinner ( yes, Zemien, another free dinner ) from SK at Kampachi, Equatorial Hotel Bangi . This time due to her raise and a thank you gesture for helping out in her masters ( which I so don't deserve ). Joined by FK and KLT. Two others lepas kapal terbang . It's so hard to get people together these days. The logistics are a killer. Hotel Equatorial looks nice, with it's own garden, ala IOI Resort. Kampachi was quite small, but luckily SK got us a private room upstairs, away from the hustle and bustle. The spread isn't quite as big as I expected. Quite modest. You have the usual, salad bar, teppanyaki & sukiyaki station, tempura station, sashimi and sushi bar, dessert counter and non-japanese fare. Overall the food is good. Not too salty, the tastes are subtle. The sashimi is fresh. The unagi is perfect. Dessert was so-so, but the serve the all-time DOraemon favourite, Dorayaki. The service is above average

See You in the Water I

Truly Madly Deeply Originally uploaded by eyecatcher . I finally enrolled for swimming lessons at Bukit Jalil Golf Resort . Cost me MYR294.00 (plus tax, no less) for 12 lessons. Entah kena fleece ke apa , but it's the nearest to my place. I went for the 5:00pm lesson and oh, boy, the sun was blazing. I think I caught too much sun, sore throat the next day. Roland's the name of my instructor-- a really tanned uncle ( I know some of my readers would be sorely disappointed ). I was issued a green plastic card. Green as in inexperienced. Lessons started by asking me standard questions of whether I have any experience, afra id of the water ( in case I struggle mightily and rip his eyeballs out in the process ), yadda, yadda, yadda. Too familiarise me in the water, he started by asking me kneel and submerge my face into the water whilst blowing bubbles of air. First the face, then the ears, then the whole head. I got the hang of that pretty quickly, with just one gulp of water to da

IMG_1715 Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Celebrated HP's birthday yesterday at Bumbu Bali, Bandar Puteri Puchong . Just the three of us. We were given the honour of celebrating with her on the actual date (with the exception of her colleagues) as her other gang of friends have weeekend do planned for her. The place has a nice ambience to it. Cosy, woody. Open-air concept. The food is mainly BBQ, with the choice of Bali and Western style. They use coconut husks for a more fragrant effect. I can vouch for that s the food sometimes contain the fibres (!). Sauces are not really required, as the grilled food by itself is full of taste, but sometimes a little on the salty side. So it's a good idea to pair it with rice or wash it down with something clear. We ordered the Nasi Campur Special and Seafood Platter. Enough for three. The mixed platter consisted of nasi uduk / nasi kuning , grilled dory (recommended), cuttlefish, chicken, prawns, satay lilit (fish paste over serai s

high 5 Originally uploaded by LUVle . Tagged by Zemien again. Drumroll please......... 10 YEARS AGO I WAS : In Form 4. I was back in Kuantan. Together with JM, we were the famous apple polishers and teacher's pet. We had many society's and clubs under our pinkie. The teacher's gave us full trust! We ruled with an iron fist! Those were the days.... 5 YEARS AGO I WAS : In University (1st Year). Moved to KL. A new chapter in life. Had a great clique of friends who would go to MidValley at the slightest break between classes and frequently have Keropok Lekor & Pisang Goreng sessions at the cafeteria. Unfortunately, we have mostly gone our own way now. 1 YEAR AGO I WAS : Working at the same job that I had joined when I first graduated. Many people have asked why I was still staying on. I asked myself the same question. I'm still here and I think I begin to see why. YESTERDAY I WAS : Running between 2 client sites. Crappy work problems. And I just found out that I have

pre-dinner Originally uploaded by williamnyk . Last weekend was a very busy couple of days. The day after the treasure hunt , I had go through another gruelling day at a charity dinner. My mother talked me into helping out. Had to get there by 3:00pm. My sister, bro-in-law, SK and HP also lended their hands. Upon reaching the venue, we found out that there's actually no *REAL* work to be done!? WTF?! Then why call for volunteers? Anyway, it turns out that the logistics were not smoothed out yet, so I bersabar je la . We did a lot of standing around, being given the evil eye by some of the dinner committee members. Then we had some minor work putting brochures and contact forms on the 110 tables. Finished that in no time at all. Nobody gave us any instructions, so more loitering. SK tried to be proactive and got off with a scolding. So much for that. Pissed off, we decided to just lazed around. Finally at 4:00pm, one of more organized of the dinner comittee gave us our ta

sas16 Originally uploaded by bonniegrrl . Before I begin, let me clarify that I'm in no way announcing that I'm into S&M and bondage . But the picture is cute is it not? Well, I'm currently at another project site, and I must say that the internet filtering policy here sucks . Leaving blog comments is prohibited (classifies as "chat", WTF?!) and LJ is completely blocked. Luckily I can still post via other means, but just look at my last post, semua HTML jadi giler . But I'm thankful that I can still read blogger posts. Not being able to leave comments is really getting to me. An itch I can't scratch . In person, I find it hard to keep quiet, on the internet I have to leave my glib remarks! Until I get back a decent internet access I'd just have to bide my time and compile my offline comments onto a CD-ROM. Hmph. PS: Vengelyne, you *had* to to link me as "William and his GBuy", didn't you? :P

Pirates of Subang Jaya

Image
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?

Gnome Around The World I

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).

Care For A Ride?

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.

Dark Threesome

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

Sweltering Heat

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.

La Petit

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

GBuy

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.

CSI: Petaling Jaya

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.

Hair Adultery

Image
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

Workaholic

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...

Hot Cup

Image
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.

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 2006

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.

Dim Sum And Duck

Image
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

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....
