2012 Nissan Almera ST , swiped from TuRbO_J on Flickr. Early Sunday morning, woke up and got ready for the 8:45am English mass. The reason for this was because mum had a function to attend in the afternoon. After mass had ended, we went to Taman Sri Manja to use up a jumble sale ticket that I had bought months back at church. Took us some time to find it among the messy shophouses there. It was not open. What a rip off. Since we still had time to burn, we joined SK for a Nissan Almera test drive at Puchong, near Tesco. Compared to the Mitsubishi woman the day before, this salesperson was MUCH better. The appointment was supposed to be for the afternoon, but she quickly rushed over to meet us. Compared to the Mitsubishi Mirage, the Nissan Almera is much bigger, with just a small gap in price. A simplistic comparison: MYR69k vs MYR62k 1.5 vs 1.2 Sedan vs Compact CKD vs CBU Taking all factors into consideration, I found the Nissan Almera to be a better choice although its a

Kampung Chicken , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Saturday's brekfast plans were changed to Subang's Kar Heong Chicken Rice where I ordered their kampung chicken hor fun . The soup had a good shrimp base but in my opinion, the hor fun wasn't thin enough. The porkballs were good as usual. Excellent texture and taste. Next up was to accompany SK to test drive the Mitsubishi Mirage. The showroom was located just beside IOI Mall, so the traffic condition was horrible and parking as scarce as leg hair on my shins. Just parked illegally at the Korea Wallpaper's reserved parking and proceeded to meet the saleswoman. During the small talk, she told us that she used to work for Perodua. Her first month with Mitsubishi. And her newbie-ness showed. She didn't know anything about the car. We even needed to go to the petrol station first because the tank was nearly empty. And she didn't even know that the beeping warning was actually from the partially released hand br

Amitabha , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Mum had too much drink the night before and I guess she got a bit heaty from the tomyum steamboat, giving her a sore throat on Sunday. SK asked us to join for BKT lunch after mass, but we declined due to mum's health condition. Explored Paradigm Mall instead and decided on Paradise Dynasty . Just like a banking hall, they had a number queue system. Been wondering about that place ever since they opened. Day in, day out people crowd at 'kitchen aquarium' watching their ramen and XLB chefs work their magic. The waitress seated us near a giant status of Buddha with a water canal right in the middle of the restaurant. A bit weird having him watch us eat the signature eight flavour XLB and double boiled chicken soup ramen. Truth be told, I couldn't tell which flavour was which. Ony got the pungent one's right-- garlic and Szechuan malat . Mum ate the black truffle and I think she wasn't impressed. LOL. And it was kinda di

Housewarming , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Months and months of heartache later, my sister's new house was finally done up and they moved in. Unfortunately, the renovations were actually far from over. Too much unfinished business and loose ends. Due to the chaotic conditions, mum had to go babysit on a Saturday. Similarly, I had to work too. System integration testing was starting and funny enough something that is traditionally internal ended up involving our clients. Hence, we all scrambled to get things up and running. Before going to work, I had Teochew porridge at SK's place. CCC also came. She prepared a yummy spread of steamed pumpkin, fried mackerel steaks, fishballs and french beans, blanched pork belly and salted duck eggs. CCC was his usual self. Heard that he was quitting his job and becoming his own boss. Bought over a friend's business. Kaya-raya that guy. Drove to the LRT after that. Arrived at Jalan Raja Laut some time before 1:00pm and saw the tra

Doraku , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. The first Japanese restaurant I frequented at Life Center was Kamimura. The place had a great ala carte buffet but have since moved out after extensive renovation of the building. Now, it houses two new Japanese restaurants, namely Kingyo and Doraku . The latter is actually a branch of the famous fusion restaurant in the US. KH bought some dining vouchers off Living Social and we kinda delayed eating there until the expiry date forced us to go. Terms and conditions required KH to make a booking three days in advance and failure to honour the booking would render the voucher void. How annoying. Anyway, we booked for dinner on Friday with SK in tow. At first, they were seated inside, near the sushi counter. But SK complained about a weird smell. The waitress reassured them that it was the smell of the seafood ( which wasn't reassuring actually! ). On the other hand, my nose confirmed it to be coming from the ceiling. A whole bunch of hem

Waiter Wally , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Due to a severe drought on the LRT, today's celebrity is brought to you by a friend of mine, Ken. He spotted Waiter Wally while he was dining at a seafood restaurant in Kepong. Looks to be of Myanmarese descent. Well-dressed for a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. Kinda like his shirt. And of course would like to see him out of it. Not the cutest of guys but I won't mind him starring in my own personal porn video. Seems to be the lean, lightly-muscular that I heart. What do you think? Is he your cup of tea?

Pai Tee , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Dumpling festival was around the corner, so mum went to a friend's house for a dumpling party ( a whole bunch of aunties masak-masak la ). Sent her to Seri Petaling after church and lunch ( which we ate at Heritage Village Cafe -- quality deteriorated! ). It was a perfect opportunity for me to smuggle KH home for some quality time . Huhu. Can you imagine that we did not get intimate since our Taiwan trip?! Immediately went over to fetch him. My car's air-conditioning was on the blink again and that really got on my nerves, coupled with the heat wave and KH's tardiness! Hmmph. But that quickly evaporated. Back at my place, KH immediately had me in his arms and showered me with kisses. Could really see the longing and affection in his eyes. He manja -ed with me for a while before proceeding to strip me for a shower together. Both of us were so sticky and sweaty from the sauna car-ride. Once all cleaned up, we proceeded to the be
