collageAnnualDin2008 Swiped from williamnyk . "The Sexiest Voice" "The Most Kissable Lips" "The Best Ass" "The Most Sparkling Eyes" Believe or not, those were the awards given out during my company's annual dinner at the KL Hilton recently. The recipient's weren't exactly the best candidates as it turned out to be like past year's popularity contests. The recipient of the sexiest voice award even did a stupid William Shatner impersonation. Sexy? Not. Well, come to think of it, if I combine two of the above awards, one can get: "The Most Kissable Ass" Now, THAT would be something. Attended the dinner in quite a zombified state as I was out the whole day menziarah my married colleagues. Got some red packets and won at blackjack. :D. When my colleagues and I arrived at the venue, we entered into the lift with a family of three. (Why this mamat so familiar one?) ("Oh shit! The Chairman!") The Chairman gav

Shokubutsu Grapefruit Sparkle stinks! Long live Orange Peel Essence!

collageVDay Swiped from williamnyk . Technically it was KH and I's second VDay, but we didn't celebrate it last year because we had just started off late January and were away from each other. We really haven't really understood how much we loved each other. So, this year, we officially celebrated it as as our first VDay as described here . Since most of the salient points had been blogged about, let me just fill in some of the holes. Yes, we did celebrate it the "tourist-y" way at KL Tower. And true enough, I did pull a long face when I had trudge around Bukit Nanas carrying a 3kg laptop bag in the sweltering heat. Oh, wait... KH offered to carry my bag, but still I sulked. :P. KH had wanted to exchange some SGD, so when actually stopped at a money changer near the Bukit Nanas Monorail station and the guy actually offered to give us a "student rate". This has no importance in the story, just trying to jemur nyawa a bit. Indulge me. By the time

Gai-Sensei! Swiped from Seloy . Note: Pathetic filler post until I get my photos in order for the next "proper" post. It's so disturbing to see someone cosplay as Gai-sensei....! I'd rather do a Mayuri. :P AND... the office air-conditioning system is on the blink till the end of the week. I'm dying here.... lack of oygen... ack!

Herbal Duck Swiped from williamnyk . ... continued from previous post ... As soon as the food tour ended, we drove out of Penang Island to Sungai Petani, Kedah. Destination: My brother-in-law's sister's place. It was my first time in Kedah actually. The sister lives at the industrial area of Sungai Petani-- a up-and-coming township. The roads were good and the housing areas looked organized. I felt like I was in KL. Spent the night there watching "The Fellowship of the King" and playing "Brave Story" on my brother-in-law's PSP. The next morning, I met the little prince of the house, Yang-Yang. An extremely shy and xenophobic kid. I heard that he won't even let his aunt carry him though she had lived with him for a month! Surpisingly, the kid took a liking to me. I had been told that the odds of him letting me carry him is like striking 4D. Heh. An interesting fact about the house-- there are no mirrors, except at the dresser in the master be

It is Friday and I get no TGIF feeling at all. Had a farewell KTV lunch for my resigning colleague this afternoon, and no amount of fooling around with mic cheered me up. Understaffed with no replacement in sight. 101 problems and matters to attend to. Then I received an sms from KH. More bad news. Something was lost. Was a bit sad, but KH was quick to console me and something Jaded Jeremy told me about the importance of the intangible over the material things made me snap out of my gloom. Sorry I made you worry dear. I am ok now and it is not your fault.

collagePenang20082 Swiped from williamnyk . ... continued from previous post ... Woke up to this: (Mum on the phone) "Do you have a hairdryer?" "Sudah habis." (1 hour later) "Are the hairdryers available yet?" "Actually we don't have any." ($#@|@^%&*^&<%*:<*}?&^%) This is the kind of service one gets for MYR110. I wonder if this was the case when I asked for an extra bed the night before. Even our doors had to be opened using the hotel's master key since the keys were "misplaced". Oh well. We checked out and had our breakfast at Restoran Shiang Hai , at Wisma Red Rock. Kinda a shock for me-- self-service dim sum . Get the food yourself. Refill the tea yourself. Average fare. The only thing worth praising is the char siew bao and the steamed pork ribs ( love the fragrant rice wine gravy ). Our food tour started at 11:00am on Saturday at Restoran Chopper Board , Gurney Plaza. Met the rest of the foodies
