iPhone82 Swiped from williamnyk . Since mum, sis and I made a trip to Teluk Intan in January, mum decided that we would be spending CNY in Kuala Lumpur. Staying put. Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! So what did we do on the second day of CNY?~~ do what all KL-ites do, watch inane CNY movies. SK treated us to "Homecoming" at IOI Mall ( there was some Malaysia Book of Records longest tassel at 18.28m there... stooooopid ). In my book, the movie wasn't that funny at all. It did have some emotional moments, but not quite intense enough. Overall it was entertaining enough for a lazy CNY afternoon, even if one has to put up with Ah Niu, Jack Neo in drag and the ever 'likable' Afdlin Shauki. Lunch was at Penang Village . I like how they collage the wall with loads of sketches of pre-war buildings. Food, however was a disappointment and the service lethargic. Can you imagine that the waitress took her sweet time cleaning the table next to us when she knew th

Photographing Mike West and Eric Pryor right now. Swiped from full_exposure . iPhone's auto-correction is driving me nuts. Muacks to Muscle . Argh. Why isn't it learning the new signature! No problem previously. Ish. Perhaps I should find some alternatives. Any suggestions?

IMG_3535SIC Swiped from williamnyk . Ever since mum embraced Catholicism, it has become a tradition for us to attend Chinese New Year mass at church every year. The church would be all decked out in red cloth, with lanterns and flowers. The giant crucifix would be flanked by a couplet which is more in tune with God and love rather than riches and prosperity. A record turnout this year with parishioners overflowing out the entrances. Even YB Theresa Kok was spotted sitting outside. So packed that the hospitality ministers could not stand at their usual posts at the back of the church. Helped out with the collection again, and was designated the coolie to carry the big baskets mandarin oranges for distribution. Mass proceeded as usual, but with the added ceremony of paying respects to our ancestors accompanied with a reading from the Book of Sirach. At the end, the priest distributed red packets and blessed mandarin oranges. Inside the red packets were some money and the Word of

Reunion Dinner Swiped from williamnyk . Since SK did not go back to Kuantan for CNY, we decided to hold a combined reunion dinner. Apollo had to work during the CNY stretch and conincidentally Eva would be in town for a few days before needing to fly back to Jordan, so we roped them in too. A potluck where mum would cook half and SK settle the other half. Unfortunately, come Tuesday, Eva FFK! So apt coming from an air stewardess. :P. Over dim sum breakfast ( which happened near lunchtime cause she sleeps like a piggy ) at Yuen Garden , she told us that she would be flying to Kuching to be with her boyfriend. Sigh. Guess that we couldn't blame her. Surprisingly, the wu kok that day was very good, else I would have been in a fouler mood. :P. Come Wednesday morning, Apollo FFK too! Blame it on the boyfriend again! Haha. Coincidentally, his boyfriend couldn't get a ticket out to Australia, so he stayed back in KL to spend it with Apollo. But then, I can't hold a grudge

No Oil? Swiped from williamnyk . I dunno whether you guys noticed this... but if you were out shopping for groceries before the CNY period, you would have noticed that peanut cooking oil was in very short supply. On the other hand, corn, flower, olive and canola oil was in abundance. In my opinion, the shortage of oil is far more serious than sugar. I can live without sugar in my coffee and I take Milo kosong anyway, but one can't even stir-fry a simple vegetable without cooking oil. Forget about the substitute cooking oils for a second. One can argue that it can be done with a non-stick pan or perhaps butter... but it just isn't the same hor ? But I guess it's a good start to steaming and blanching one's food. Would do wonders for my waistline. But then again, i would still drizzle some oil over my blanched vege. :P. So what is it for you? Cooking oil or sugar? P.S.: I'm sorry that the auntiness quotient of this post is way above regulations... I don'

Wu's Rings Swiped from williamnyk . Remember how I was raving about Empress Wu 's chunky rings? Here they are! What do you think? Should KH get them for VDay? Wakakakakakakaka. Oh well, I'd be happy to get a card. With KH in Singapore, I'd be singing: All by myself Don't wanna be, all by myself anymore All by myself Don't wanna live, all by myself anymore Amyway, Happy Valentine's Day kepada yang bukan beragama Islam. Kepada yang beragama Islam, Selamat Maulidur Rasul! Muacks! ( just realized this sounds like SimonLover! )

iPhone Dead Swiped from nathanborror . On Monday, I took replacement leave for New Year 2011. I did not sleep in but woke up early to go to the market. My mum is amazing. If you bring her to the market every day before CNY, I'm sure she'd find something to buy each day. Never mind that, but at least that trip to the Taman United Wet Market gained me a mayorship on FourSquare. Wakakaka. Decided to settle some chores on that day too. Braved the long queues at TNB and Syabas to change the name on my utility bills. While waiting for my turn at TNB, I noticed that my iPhone blacked out. Just a minute ago I was fiddling with it with 22% battery left and the next minute it was dead! Peculiar! Tried charging it in the car, but there was no response. Tried it with direct power at home, but with the same results. My heart sank. So I grabbed my warranty card and headed for the DiGi Center at Sunway Pyramid. It was a long wait without a phone to fiddle with! But it was fun watchin
