Blood Splatter

Blood Splatter Swiped from williamnyk . My bedsheet is stained with blood. My blood. At multiple places. No, it's not from my mizuage ( that happened years ago, so I'm not gonna parade the bedsheet around town ), but from my ongoing battle with the evil mozzies ! In the middle of the night, they'll land on a choice plot of my naked skin and start feasting. Their proboscis would pierce my skin and suck their fill of blood. As their abdomen fills, I stir. A subconscious swat from my hand, or a roll of my torso. And the mozzie goes SPLAT on my smooth sheets. Damn those mozzies! P.S.: Any tips for washing dried blood out?

Bathroom Pet Peeves

Why can't shampoo and shower gel manufactures use better pump bottles? Most of those in the market always leave behind dried up "snot" at the mouth of the pump. Or at least come up with something that does not congeal like that. Blegh. And don't you just hate it when you rush into the toilet to do your "big business" and reach for the toilet paper after, all you find is an empty roll? >_<"

Some Like It Raw Swiped from williamnyk . Ala-carte Japanese buffets are rare in KL. So far, I've only tried Munakata ( no longer available, but was VERY good ) and Rakuzen ( so-so ). SK brought to my attention another such establishment-- Gonbei at Starhill Gallery. The place definitely scores points with its beautiful interior. The entrance is an interlace of bamboo which cast interesting shadows across the floor. And everytime guests walk in, they beat a welcome drum. Inside, wood is the main theme, with the focal point being the walls that are carved with numerous Japanese family crests ( mon ). Dinner was with SK, KH, Takashi and Jase. Upon arrival, every guest receives a complimentary abalone sashimi . Yummy! Never had it before. But I think it's to cover for the absence of raw oysters on its menu. For drinks, one can have green tea, herbal tea or lychee margarita ( another uncommon item ). Basically, one orders from them menu and the waiter will key-in the or

blonde ambition Swiped from valentine_mariner . I might have mentioned this several times before-- the average times I watch a movie at the cinema in a year is 2 . Yes folks, 2. And when I do, it's usually a movie that would benefit from the big screen and the Dolby Surround. Hence, this rules out romantic comedies. You could watch it on a DVD and you'll get a similar experience. In addition to this technicality, I am actually biased against such movies. KH: Come, let's watch a movie together. Moi: What movie? KH: The Ugly Truth. Moi: It's a romantic comedy isn't it?! (GROAN) KH: Bad! And there you have it, I was dragged to Alamanda to watch THAT KIND of movie. And you know what. That's the second romantic comedy watched this year, the first being Ekachai Uekrongtham's "The Wedding Game" . Come to think of it, ANOTHER romantic comedy. No wonder! Well, I would admit it was quite a nice movie. It had me in stitches at certain parts. And I go

Half a Meme: Save Yvonne's Eyesight

by yvonne foong Swiped from annna86 . It has been a long time since I was tagged to do a meme. I'm notoriously bad at doing these things. The branch usually dies at my blog. So, I have Zemien tagging me to do this meme . It is to support Yvonne Foong who is suffering from Neurofibromatosis . I have read about her before in the newspapers-- she was selling T-shirts to fund her surgery that's scheduled in December this year. Here's the info: Amount needed for Surgery: RM154,704.42 Amount Raised: RM74,263.63 Dateline: 23rd Nov 2009 Last Updated: 19th Sept 2009 If you wanna help, do click here for more details. I'll not post the meme rules here nor tag anyone, just check out the link above for the details. To help raise awareness, I have put up a banner on my sidebar for her cause. I hope that Yvonne will get all the funding she needs and have a successful surgery so that she can continue to see the beautiful things that I like to see: Clouds in the sky Smiling t

Be A Pensonic Friend

DSC02792.jpg Swiped from autodetailer . For the two days that I had my lunch at Pavilion , I had bumped into Alan Yun twice! The "boy-next-door" of Malaysian male models. The first time I nearly walked into him at Food Republic and I was quite surprised at how tall he was. I think he's a good 1.5 heads taller than me. The second time, he was at the toilet and he had just finished at the urinal. Bad timing. :P. KH wasn't too enthusiastic listening to my encounters with him. Baby, it's not like he winked at me. :P

DIE MOZZIE DIE

DIE DIE DIE Swiped from termie . The ceiling fan in my room is shot. Speed 2 and Speed 5 is now the same. It just lumbers along. Like those fans you see in black and white in the 20s. Coupled with the fact that my room traps heat during the afternoon, it's quite a sauna at night. I have endured it for some time now and it makes for interesting situations ( like being able to sleep naked with KH ), but I have kinda reached the end of my rope. Last night, I stripped to my birthday suit and tried to sleep. Unfortunately, the still air made the mosquitos extra bold. I couldn't close the window for fear of suffocation so I took a chance. Bloody hell, I was harassed by those bloodsuckers! A buffet on my naked flesh! Who knows where they feasted on! I awoke with a jolt at 2:00am to retreat to my brother's room. Time to call in the professionals....
