The Three Musketeers

Image
threesome hug! Swiped from Midnight_Shadow-san . On Maulidur Rasul, Pikey and Bear organized a YTF lunch with SK and I. And due to some scheduling problems, Pikey decided to collapse his meet-up with Nicky05, Jino and Edw into the same appointment. Killed two queers with one Prada man-bag. A plus point as I had not met new faces in quite some time. Lunch was at Puchong Yong Tau Fu . They recently opened a branch near my place, so we decided to try. Due to the fact that the fellas were not familiar with the Equine-Serdang area ( very impressed that Nicky05 came all the way from KL area ), lunch was delayed for an hour. I nearly fainted and SK had half turned on her bitch mode. Haha. But luckily there were no casualties. As we sat down to lunch, my ice-breaking ( interrogation ) began. Turns out that all three of them were still studying. Immediately felt old. Jino and Edw make a cute couple and Nicky05 looked adorably nervous. The food wasn't as nice as expected and the fri

Text Swiped from cecilgene . I miss receiving SMS-es from KH on my DiGi line. It's not that he doesn't text me. He regularly does. But it's on my Starhub line. If it's on my DiGi line, it means that he's standing on the same ground as I am. It means that he's home. It means that I can hold him. Miss you, baby.

LNY VII: How Many Queers Can You Fit Into A Japanese Restaurant

Image
Do you know the answer to the question above? Well, the answer is 14 ( 16 even if I include the other two queers at the table behind us ), if you exclude SK. LOL. For the first time, I organized a BFF birthday party for SK. She's always present at BFF gatherings, kinda like a permanent fixture, and yet it took three years for this to happen. I'm such a bad DEAR. Hehe. The initial plan was for a small, intimate gathering of friends and Dears, but in the end, the turnout was quite good! Nihon-Kai didn't make good their promise on giving us a room, so we ended up on a LONG table in the common area. For the comfort of their other guests, it would have been wise to give us a room. Hehe. Since they did not, they got to enjoy our fabulous-ness up close and personal. LifeBook was the earliest to arrive. He deserves an award befitting such a good gor ! The rest slowly trickled in and by 8:00pm, most had arrived. The event was graced by KH & I, Janvier & The Chief, Bunny ( h

Hi guys, just wanna share with you my 3 seconds of fame: One of my pics of Federation Square, Melbourne under the Creative Commons license was included in the Schmap Melbourne Guide . Well, the pic is very small, but I'm happy anyway. :P. Take a look! Schmap Melbourne Tenth Edition: Photo Inclusion

LNY VI: A Genuine Surprise

Image
Gratitude had long ago scheduled a LNY gathering with SK and I, and I had promised to bring KH along. And so on Friday afternoon ( after going to the market with mum and boy, I loved the fact that it was so peaceful ), we made our way to Klang to taste Gratitude's cooking. We arrived half an hour before schedule and it caught Gratitude by surprise as he was still upstairs putting on his makeup. His Dowager opened the door for us and we were greeted with his dog Junior who gave us a good welcome bark. Some of the cooking had yet to be completed but he shoo-ed us out of the kitchen. We lounged in the living room while he continued to cook. According to Gratitude, I was playfully stroking KH's hand when his brother had happened to come down the stairs and that nearly gave him a heart attack. Did I do that? :P. By the time he had nearly finished cooking the leek, vegetables, prawns, soy sauce chicken and herbal soup we came to the realization that we were the only guests! So pai se

LNY V: Percy Jackson Meets Cik Siti Amino

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Swiped from scenaristes.biz . On Thursday, KH, SK and I went out to MV to catch "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" . Met KH there as he had come earlier to watch 14 Blades . Met him at Vietnam Kitchen where he was having lunch. Ordered their basil lime juice. It came complete with a giant stalk of sweet basil. Freaked SK out. Definitely an acquired taste, but I love it. The movie wasn't that great, but the actor was quite cute. Quite a long shot trying to pass him off as a 12 year old. I should have went for "14 Blades" instead. I'm wary of the quality of HK wuxia movies these days. Sigh. I'll watch it on DVD then. Apollo joined us shopping for a while. KH bought a pair of shorts and slacks at Seed. The whole shop was full of PLUs. One salesman looked soooooo familiar. I think he saw KH playfully spank my ass in the shop. By dinner time, SK and I went home, while KH stayed back for dinner

7/365: CHRISTMAS IS OVER Swiped from LISA M G . Here's an update on the MYR50 credit card tax that comes into enforcement this year. For existing cards: Citibank charges the tax on the approval anniversary of your card. HSBC charges the tax one month after the annual fees of your card. For new cards: The tax is immediately charged to your card. Please do cancel all your excess cards and leave only the critical cards. Once the tax is charged, no bank will waive it for you. You'll have to pay or use your rewards points. Please act before you are charged.

LNY IV: Ash Wednesday

Image
Ash Wednesday Swiped from ee-mm . These days, the Lunar New Year is quite close to the Lenten Season . The Fourth Day actually coincides with Ash Wednesday . Ash Wednesday marks the start of period of prayer, penitence, almsgiving and self-denial up till Easter. So, we had a very light breakfast and headed for mass at 1:00pm. The church was filled to the brim. Much more than I expected. The special thing about Ash Wednesday is of course the ashes. Basically its the blessed ashes from the palm fronds of last year's Palm Sunday . With it, the priest will draw a crucifix on one's forehead while intoning: "Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel." Well, seems that Lent isn't Lent without some kind of temptation-- as I was walking out of the church, I bumped into 2 cuties that set my dar pinging. Hehe. Anyway, lunch was at a coffeeshop in Aman Suria. It was already past lunch time and it being the Lunar New Year period, not much food was left. But it

LNY III: Another Reunion

Image
My sis and her tribe arrived back in KL on Monday night, so she came visiting bright and early on Tuesday. Cyan came dressed up as little tong san kid, but he was tired from the trip the previous night, so he was understandably cranky and manja. Stuck to his mum like glue. Coaxed a few pics from the kid and we let him change out of the hot clothes. Mum immediately started work in the kitchen. To avoid the kid from ka-ka-cau-cau , SK and I brought him to the nearby Jusco. Sat him on the trolley and brought him grocery shopping. He was quite obedient. I think people were staring at me for having a kid at my age . Bagi I perasan seketika . :P. Anyway, after an hour so, we headed back and the kid konked out in the car. Lunch was like a second reunion dinner , only that it's lunch. :P. Another carnivorous meal. After lunch, SK and I went out to KH's place again. Lady Luck was on my side as his parents were not at home again. Hehe. Spent some "happy" time there, then we we

LNY II: Seconds, anyone?

Image
Woo-hoo Swiped from williamnyk . On the second day of the Lunar New Year, SK booked tickets to watch "72 Tenants of Prosperity" at Sunway Pyramid. Quite an entertaining movie with loads and loads of TVB stars in it. Lotsa squabbling. Chaotic storyline. But it works anyway. Fancy seeing sexual tension between a really old-looking King of Canto Pop and a has-been beauty queen? This is the movie for you. I mean it in a positive way! :P. Lunch was at Pappa Rich and I had cup of their wonderful iced coffee. But their curry mee is really crap. I think they forgot to add salt into their gravy. I could just taste the coconut milk and nothing else. Ugh. The decoration at the mall was really crappy. So amateurish. Felt like they had no proper budget and hires some undergraduates to do it for free. Decided not to eat at home that night, so we went off to Brickfields in search for some Indian food. Apparently, the Vitya over there has also closed down, so we just randomly walke

LNY I: Reunion of Faith

Image
Jesus, I Trust In You Swiped from williamnyk . Every year, my church holds a Lunar New Year-themed eucharistic celebration. So in the morning, before leaving for church, we dress up and exchange red packets ( being the youngest, I get ang pao from mum and bro though he's not married ). The church is all decked out in red and lanterns are hung all over. Beside the crucifix, two giant couplets were found. To top it all off, a centerpiece is set up at the side of tha altar for parishnioners to camwhore! As with past years, it was a full house. English and mandarin-speaking parishoners thronged the church in their new clothes. Red wasn't popular this year. Quite surprising really. Many women turned up in cheongsams , showing off killer bosoms. Hahahaha. It was the last Sunday mass before Lent , hence it was a high mass. Everything was sung and the liturgy was extra long. Joss sticks were offered at the altar and at the end, there was even a ceremony commemorating ancestors. Some

LNY 0: Be Reunited With Your Tummy

Image
Reunion Dinner: Canard Swiped from williamnyk . The run up to the Lunar New Year is always hectic. A flurry of activity. Days and days of braving wet markets... dragging heavy groceries, sloughing through concentrated market fluids, surviving massive jams and surviving elbowing aunties. Days and days of spring cleaning, with mum looking for every single menial chore imaginable to do. And things at work were also busy, just that I chose to ignore, but I know that will come back to bite me in the ass come the 22nd of the month when I get back to work. The culmination of all that? The Reunion Dinner!!! A quiet affair really. As usual, just mum, my brother and I. Twelve years since my late father joined us at the table, and sis was with her in-laws in Melaka. This year, the dining table served five-spice powder stewed duck ( the shops had a shortage of the spices, crazy! ), steamed herbal chicken, fried garoupa, roast pork ( compliments of a neighbour ), drunken prawns, lotus root

Love is a battlefield Swiped from Midnight-digital . Mother-Son relationships can be so complicated and difficult. One can even call 'em love-hate relationships. It's even harder when your mum's a Dowager like mine. "Off with your head!" is something that might just pop up in daily conversation. And so, when OneFM ( 88.10FM ) started having Jordin Spark's "Battlefield" on their playlist ( yeah, they're so outdated ), I immediately identified with the lyrics. ... One minute it's love And suddenly it's like a battlefield ... I never meant to start a war You know I never wanna hurt you Don't even know what we're fighting for Things are volatile. Just one wrong word and things could get ugly. Is it easier to get angry with your loved ones? Is it easier to accept a stranger's anger than from your own blood? Would life be boring if we just got along without any hitches? Haha. I dunno. That's NOT gonna happen. LOL. Here

Say No to Pork Balls!

Image
Pork Balls Swiped from zerowindez . Ever since SK's IBS , she has been ingesting a lot of pork balls as it agrees with her G.I.T. ( her guts la ). And so, when she cooks lunch for me, or when my mum cooks dinner for her, more often than not, pork balls will be on the menu. And after like my 1000th serving of pork balls, I think I now officially hate it. The very sight of it makes me a bit nauseous. And when my mother puts it in my breakfast noodles, I just throw them out the window. The funny thing is that she knows I deplore them. >_<". Now, I can only tolerate the 3JC variety. But I guess if I eat too much of that, it will end up banned sooner or later. LOL. Hope you guys are enjoying your holidays in this stifling heat! Keep hydrated and dress skimpily, k? ;)

V for Valentines

Image
Cute couple holding hands Swiped from M a n a ~ L . Hello everybody! It's already day one of the Lunar New Year! New clothes and underwear are already out of the closet. The big reunion dinner is now a flush in the porcelain throne. Met family and friends for fellowship. And some of you have most probably gambled and dabbled in some illegal fireworks displays. Now lets remember that today is also a day of love-- Valentines Day! May lovers also be reunited, emotionally and physically ( YES! ). May they remember what brought them together in the first place, to rekindle that first spark that started it all. And for lost love, may today be a remembrance of all good things in the past and hope for more fruitful love in the future. Happy V Day everyone! *Muacks* all around. P.S.: I got this in my red packet from church: "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." - John 13:34 . Kinda apt, don'

Yee Sang Sayings

Image
Happy Lunar New Year! Swiped from williamnyk . The Fatty Boss treated my team to a Yee Sang lunch at Golden Sun , Kuchai Lama. My second for the year. Nothing special about the food, but what got my attention was the procedure during the serving of the Yee Sang . Each step was accompanied by flowery words and flourishes. Basically those goody-goody and positive stuff that people like to hear. I'll give you some examples: - During the pouring of the sweet sauce - "May your relationship with each other be tim-tim mat-mat !" - During the pouring of the golden-brown crispy stuff - "May your house be filled with gold!" - Before the waiter dumped in the fish slices - "May your year be blessed with abundance!" Lame kan ? But if you're really into that kinda stuff, then it's good lo. But anyway, this should be last day of work for most people before the long weekend! Wishing everyone a wonderful Lunar New Year! Hopefully the Year of the Tiger

Guests from Sporeland

Sakura Swiped from FotoBob# . Over the weekend, POD and Nic were in town to visit a sick friend and do some shopping. So, they asked SK and I for some good makan-makan and shopping at The Pavilion. Managed to meet them slightly earlier at Sungei Wang after SK and I finished up with the CNY decorations at church. Just filled in several hundreds of red packets and tried to turn a 水樱 into an artificial 樱花 tree. We left soon after for lunch at Aman Suria. Had the yuckiest BKT I ever tasted. Pork in brine. Eww. The pork stomach soup was just as sad. Having filled our tummies, we headed to Tropicana Mall for a while. Couldn't get anything, so we just went home for a short rest and watched a bit of "Sex and the City" . Since POD and Nic had finished their hospital visit early, we decided to head out early to meet 'em. Parked at The Pavilion and walked over. POD tried to give us directions to the shop they were at, but the labyrinthine layout and POD's confusing in

Can A Cheese Cake Get It Up?

Image
FYI, Zen no longer has the tea time promotion where with every order of coffee or tea, you get a free slice of cake or dessert. For that, you'd have to go to Secret Recipe. And so, I was at the Taman Desa branch the other day and ordered a slice of Yoghurt Cheese Cake. Bottom layer cheese. Top layer yoghurt. You can see it in the picture. You see how it kinda flops down? That's the first time I've seen a cheese cake with erectile dysfunction. Not very appetizing hor? It would be different if after a few licks, the slice of cake stiffens back up, but that's just crazy talk. Cake, anyone? P.S.: The new Black Forest Cheese is horrible. It kinda collapses on itself. A cheese cake with a black hole in the middle. So Star Trek.

G11: Self Portrait Swiped from williamnyk . The first digital camera that I owned was the Canon A95. It was a partial birthday gift from SK and Jaz way back in 2005. SK would remember how difficult a choice it was. One year of R&D. She had nearly strangled me. Well, it was a very good choice. It had served me well over the years. Many happy moments and beautiful scenery were captured all over Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia. It had even made one trip to the camera hospital and emerged as good as new. But of late, my trusty camera had begun to show signs of old age. A type of macular degenration. The pictures come out dark and noisy. I suspect that the CCD is dying. With restarts, it will regain it's "sight", but after a few shots, it reverses back to its semi-blind state. :(. So sad right? So I made a decision to get a new camera. A successor to my trusty A95. After years and years of using the articulating LCD to frame my shots, I find mys

Beware of No. Eight

Image
For years and years I have been in a way the Chinese term as 八字腿 ( number eight leg ). Why? Cause when I walk my foot points outwards rather than straight ahead. The problem is more prominent on my right leg and I have recently decided to finally make a conscious effort to correct it. So far it had been pointed out by several people, namely my mum, Jase and KH. Even Psycho Ah Long says I walk funny. Likened me to Lat characters! WTF! Just after a few days of walking posture awareness, my leg has started to protest. At first, I experience pain below the knee, then a dull ache at my pelvis. Now, both sensations have gone only to be replaced by a slight tiredness in my right leg. I think it's starting to work. If you do see me walking incorrectly, do give me a gentle reminder. Thanks. :).
