will i am's delayed diary

A couple of sweet-looking boys. In a few years, they'd be twinky enough to harvest I reckon. Sorry, I don't have any frontal shots for you to confirm that fact. Just take my word for it. But then, I'm not blogging about their looks actually... As you know, I've seen many shocking things on the LRT, but this somehow managed to make my jaw drop. The kid on the left was actually eating Maggi cup noodles. He was slurping away on the train! Must have bought it at a 7-11 nearby and by the time he had boarded, it was chow time! Amazing right? So Air Asia. And I thought eating nasi lemak on the train from the packet was news-worthy. Kids these days. The other day, another bunch from La Salle regaled me with their stimulating banter: Kid 1: Ona-ni! ONANI! ONANIIIIIIII! (while flapping his arms) Kid 2: Lancap! Kid 1: Onani. Onani. Onani. Onani. Onani. Onani. Onani. Classy, right? Lovely kids.

Check out this nifty prayer to be said before entering the loo! Spotted it in Bandar Seri Begawan. It is interesting to note that demons have a specific sex too! Lets hope this does not create a loop hole for asexual demons. Amen.

Playing House Swiped from Andrew_and_Kristie . Ever played house? Imaginary wedding. Imaginary spouse. Imaginary house. Imaginary chores. Imaginary life. Everything seemed to gravitate around "The House". The focal point of being a grown-up? And so we finish our studies, join the rat race. We scrimp and save to eke out a living in this cold, heartless city. The goal seems to be to bring a fat pay cheque home. Get some wheels. Have a roof over our head. Yes, the very same roof that we imagined during our childhood. That goal seems to be so distant these days with ballooning real estate prices. So difficult with so many factors to consider. Money. Location. Freehold. Leasehold. Density. Quality. Developer. BTS. STB. Bank loans. Interest rates. Feng Shui. Termites. Neighbours. Acquiring a place of your own is most probably one of the biggest decisions in one's life. To sign on the dotted line. To be in debt ( unless you sleep on a mattress of cash that is ). I bring

bw no cursing Swiped from kkunurashima . Welcome to another edition of LRT Celebtrities ! This time round, I offer no pictures, only an ear-witness account of what happened. :P. I present to you Mother Smelly Crab . I dunno how to describe her... perhaps a Chinese Baba-Yaga? I don't really know how it started, but I think she tried to jostle for a place to sit at the Bukit Jalil station where she got on. She lost to an uncle I suspect. So she dragged her sorry ass together with her plastic bag and umbrella to the side. But she was not out yet. She started snorting loudly a few times ( like a rhinoceros preparing to charge? :P ). And then it began...: Warning: The content you are about to read may contain elements that you may find offensive or crude ( if you can decypher my phonetic cantonese that is. Some parts are translated for better comprehension ). "Ma chau hai! Nei ge ma ge hai." "What are you looking at?! Never seen a sick person before ah? You'v

Sexual Harrassment - Star Wars Style Swiped from mrtomollerton . Remember Psycho Ah Long at my office? Well, now that I am back at KL Sentral, I'm once again the object of his 'affections'. In this latest installment, he hit my ass while I bended over my laptop and exclaimed: "Hmm... your ass has quite a nice feel to it..." Err... ohhhhhhhhhkayyyyy. And in addition to him calling my name out of the blue during office hours, he would sometimes come over and caress the nape of my neck while saying: "William-zhai, William-zhai" I'm just so lucky! But one thing's for sure, it make KH angry as hell! Hehe. Love to see KH's protective side.

2 question marks - Hebrew and Latin alphabets - fractal Swiped from Sharon Pazner . "How come like that??" Do you find anything wrong with the sentence above? For me, I really hate to see double question marks. It's like typing in caps. It works perfectly well with one question mark. Why add another? For emphasis? I don't think its stated anywhere that double question marks are rude, but I don't like it anyway. Maybe it's kinda like this emoticon O.o that I banned KH from using when conversing with me via text. Irrational? I dunno. It just irks me. A lot. Hehe. Now you know which buttons to press. :P

2010-Soccer-World-Cup-Mascot-Zakumi Swiped from Shine 2010 - 2010 World Cup good news . I keep forgetting to blog about the World Cup! Last Saturday, JJ was in town, so SK and I met them for a yumcha session at Lotus, Dataran Sunway. Ate their tandoori chicken again. Typical. Hehe. The whole world was watching Korea Republic vs. Uruguay. All eyes were trained on the game except for out table and another table of aunties. Even when someone scored and everyone shouted, we just went about our business. An island of gay calmness in a sea of soccer mania. Anyway, I actually want to talk about the World Cup mascot, Zakumi . In my opinion, he's kinda cute. Bad boy look. Nice, thick mane. Impish smile. And look at that crotch. :P. Waka waka?

Due to my preparations for the Brunei trip, I did not take my replacement leave for Agong's Birthday. So I decided to take it on Monday after I came back from the business trip. After sending SK to work, I proceeded to Taman Desa to return my door card and office keys. Had coffee with Jolin the accounts girl to get some updates and gossip. After packing up my desk ( pindah ofis, bukan letak jawatan! ), I headed for Bukit Jalil to take the LRT down to KL. Stopped at Plaza Rakyat. Construction was still going strong at Puduraya. I walked to Bangunan Chong Keat to see my dermatologist. Purchased some skin supplies for the next half a year or so. Saw a cute patient dozing at the sofa while waiting for the doctor to arrive. If he was KH, I would have kissed him awake. :P. I was too lazy to walk back to the LRT, so I decided to walk to The Pavilion after consulting Google Maps. The scenic route from Jalan Pudu to Jalan Bukit Bintang. By the time I had reached The Pavilion, my back was we

3-in-1 Swiped from williamnyk . During my K3K Benta Kaya meet-up with Carpe Diem, Janvier and Leggie last-last Saturday ( yes Janvier, this is more like me! ), I offered Carpe Diem a bite of my 3-in-1 Toast. Basically toast with butter, kaya and cocoa. He declined because he did not want to have his braces all mangled up with it before his drink arrived. How troublesome, right? So this got me thinking... How does it feel to kiss someone with braces? During bouts of intense tongue wrestling, would your tongue get caught in the wires? Perhaps something from breakfast is discovered by your partner? Is there a metallic tang? Are there any complications if both wore braces? Would they get caught? Now that would be difficult to explain at the A&E. Would really like to hear some kisah benar !

ShabuShabu201006 Swiped from williamnyk . Since I was in Brunei, I missed Cyan's birthday celebration. Therefore, we had another celebration at Restaurant Shabu Shabu in Bandar Puteri Puchong. It's a buffet steamboat joint from the same people who opened Mizi , hence you also get the individual pot concept. But the novel thing about it is the kaiten belt. Hundreds of slave boys in their kitchen stuff vegetables, fishballs, mushrooms, prawns, sausages, beancurd skin, chicken, beef, etc into tiny plastic plates ( like those dessert containers on full fare flights ). In between the belts, their staff also go around distributing special items like fried chicken wings, other misc. fried stuff topped with mayo ( they seem to push this A LOT. A ploy to make you feel full faster? ) and most importantly, pork slices! So delish. A few seconds in the piping soup and its ready to eat. I heard that Savante easily downed 20 plates. Cyan was happy beyond belief looking at the conveyor b

On the second day, Fatty Boss jumped into action again, leaving the audience enthralled and wanting more. Lunch was with Fatty Boss again, but this time at a new shop called Restoran Cahaya Indah . Don't be fooled by the name, it serves chinese food. I ordered their beef noodles and lin chee kang . Both were quite nice. The hands-on sessions during the afternoon went quite well except for some 'expected' weird behaviour from the system. When things went awry, I tried not to look surprised ad just glossed things over. But kinda awkward when the users experienced it themselves and started to ask questions. I think my presentation was quite dry and tried to reel them back in when they seemed lost. By the end of the day, I was exhausted but glad that it was over. To celebrate, we had dinner at Charcoal BBQ & Grill Restaurant . My colleague ordered the 15oz ribs and was kinda put off by the big chunk of meat. Hoho. Luckily I chose the Surf 'n Turf-- a mixture of grilled

Basically got up early to go to the venue only that find that the door was still locked. Sat around with the janitor until somebody brought the key. Apparently the some guy from the project management office was busy the last night migrating the blade servers and changing the chasis. I dunno why they cannot make up their mind on the hardware. Today 4 slots. Tomorrow 6 slots. Today got CDROM. Tomorrow no CDROM. Today USB1.1. Tomorrow USB2.0. Bengong . Luckily things still worked. Was quite lucky that my Fatty Boss showed his face and talked half the day away. I must admit that his presentation skills have improved. That guy can really talk and talk and talk. He knows how to spruce things up and get the attention of the audience. The subject matter was very dry and he managed to actually inflate it with all his hot air. Amazing kung fu . And so, he talked till half time and brought us to lunch at Babu's Kitchen ( we had passed by that shop many times and kept thinking that it was In

La Feet Tabi Sneakers/La Feet Anti HALLUX VALGUS Tabi Shoes Sneakers - Black Leather 足袋型健康シューズ(Lafeet:レザー ブラック)　OKAMOTO-SEIKO 岡本製甲 Swiped from Japonista . Another break from my Begawan arc. I sense that my readers are dropping off like flies. Bersabar ya... Not only is the country boring, I guess blog posts about it are as interesting as watching cum dry. So my question is: Are you a fan of black sneakers ? Especially chunky ones? Think Rockports. Think MBTs. Think black Danish clogs. Just seems wrong to me. Hehe. Sorry, dear. :P. So, how many do you have in your shoe rack? P.S.: I might just open a "I hate black, chunky sneakers" page on FB.

Christiano Ronaldo 03 Swiped from eeed1982 . The final day of my setup. Settled most of the issues. For those that could not be fixed on time, workarounds would be used or ignored altogether. Just need to steer clear of the errors. Lunch was at Singapore Chicken Rice again. This time round, I ordered their cashew nut chicken rice. It's supposed to be kungpao chicken I think, but the colour's all wrong and it tastes more like sweet and sour sauce to me. Haha. But at least it looks better than their huatan ho . Yes, huatan ho . One thing that still surprises me about Brunei is how civilized their drivers are. If you cross the road at a zebra crossing, they actually stop. Like in Singapore. In Malaysia, they run you down even with the traffic light in place ( Oh, did I do thaattt? ). Dinner was at a vegetarian joint. Tried something called cha zhai bihun . Some kind preserved vegetable soup. Really sour. Not bad, but the portion was so measly. Supplemented dinner with pineap

Water Taxis Swiped from williamnyk . Well, I spent my Sunday in the office too. Breakfast was air-conditioned fried noodles. Cold! Fatty Boss picked us up in the company Innova and it was quite a ride! Nothing clears your mind like the sound of tires screeching from an emergency break. Worked and worked until lunch time when Fatty Boss came over to treat us at Fratini's . The Italian restaurant was located just beside the river where Kampong Ayer 's located. One can see water taxis zipping across the river bringing the occupants to and fro. Once they alight, the occupants continue own with their own automobiles parked on the other side. It all seemed quite haphazard. Boats were anchored in the middle of the river and everyone was just going against the surf at high speed. Ordered spaghetti vongole with fish buillion. So-so. Washed it down with a glass of honey dew juice. Back to work for a couple of hours. Such a chore to get the system up. Never touched it before. Lot

I'm sure you guys are getting sick of Bandar Seri Begawan already, so I'll put in a filler post. A break la katakan . Today's episode sees Gnome travelling to Angkor Wat . He's definitely fond of the topless Apsaras, the horny old bastard. Not really my choice of a holiday destination ( neither are topless Apsaras ). I can imagine the itinerary: Day 1: Ruins. Day 2: More ruins. Day 3: Ruins with faces. Day 4: Batu. Tanah. Pasir. You get the picture. :P. But KH and Nic did manage to 'persuade' me to go to Borbodur in September. Ish. And hikes at Mount Merapi at 3:00am! WTF. What am I getting myself into?!

Woke up with a dry throat. The air-conditioning and the super MSG in Brunei food must have gotten to me finally. Breakfast was fried rice again. Also laden with MSG. I drank four cups of water while waiting for the driver to arrive. At work. On a Saturday. Ugh. Was also busy playing iAssociate 2 on the iPhone. I think I'm addicted to that word association game. At the office we immediately got to work and solved several big obstacles. During lunch, we were joined by another two colleagues who brought us to a nearby mamak shop. 2 pieces of chicken kurma + bitter gourd + white rice + pulled tea only cost B$3.60. My cheapest meal in Brunei so far. Dropped by at Guardian to pick up a bottle of mouthwash. Chose a bottle with thymol and hexitidine. Really had a kick! Went back to work after lunch, but there were still some issues to iron out. Left work at around 7:00pm and had dinner at Restoran Golden Leaf again. This time round, I ordered porridge with stir fried siew pak choy , pump

iPhone14 Swiped from williamnyk . Learning from yesterday's experience, we got up a little later. Breakfast was more decent with fried rice and egg toast. We went directly to the server room to start installing our application. Was inexperienced with Windows Server 2008, so we hit several snags along the way. Luckily things started looking up by lunch. Had fried mee hoon at the nearby foodcourt. It was just beside a restaurant selling live lobsters for B$7.80 per 100gms. Saw some really giant lobsters! I think they were staring at me. And so funny to see them label cockles as seaham . LOL. I made a conclusion about Brunei food. Salt, sugar and MSG is used liberally. And their MSG is of premium quality. Spend a year there and you'll lose all your hair. After lunch, we chilled out at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Ordered my Today's Brew as usual. I showered myself with raw sugar after flapping a faulty packet. Sienz! I think I found sugar in my underwear. :P. Worked and work

Yam Claypot Noodles Swiped from williamnyk . I did not sleep well the night before. The pillow was so soft that it gave no support. My eyes were open at 5:30am and I was greeted by Lan's snoring. Tried to get back to sleep. Was a little difficult, but I managed. Lady Gaga's Telephone dragged me out from my slumber 1.5 hours later. Did my stretches and got ready for work. By 7:30am, we were at the hotel cafeteria looking for food. We were the first to arrive. Had a little bit of their super-salty and sweet fried flat noodles. Next was oranges and watermelon cut to look like mini Xmas trees. :S. I passed on the egg mayo sandwiches. It looked more like Nippon Watherbond than mayo. We took the company's shuttle van to work. There was no morning rush hour traffic. There's never any rush. So unlike my days in Metro Jakarta. The project site turned out to be the gymnasium at the top of a building transformed into a software development center. LAN cables were nailed i

Tien Yin I Swiped from williamnyk . Note: I interrupt my Begawan arc for this update. Got ahead of myself. Hehe. Last Sunday was my uncle's 66th birthday celebration, so mum, sis, BIL, Cyan and I headed for Bagan Sungai Burung after Sunday Mass. We arrived at about 5:00pm and I must say that I was surpised to find that village roads were now tarred. The whole porch was crawling with grandkids and the place was strewn with rubbish. No matter how many times I see it, I can never really get used to it. The celebration was at a nearby restaurant-- Tien Yin . It was easy to spot the place cause loud chink techno was already playing. The stage was set and the entertainer ( a skinny uncle in an oversized chinese suit ) was busy choosing his songs. We chose a table far away from the speakers and waited for the rest of the guests to arrive. Upon sitting, mum was already busy gossiping. Guess what? Five days ago, my uncle's Vietnamese mail order bride had just arrived. 34 years
