will i am's delayed diary

Sis and BIL was off to Korea for a business trip so the kids were in our care again. Early in the morning, they had already eaten some fried noodles that my mum prepared. And when we went out to have breakfast, they had their second round of wantan noodles. Also had lunch nearby. Shared some mixed rice and CKT. At around 2:00 pm, SK came over to fetch us to Kuchai Lama. KH had actually bought tickets to "Let's Rock: The Musical" over Groupon. The original plan was for me to bring my mum, and he would bring his mum ( quite a situation hor? ). But since mum suddenly had to babysit, I let mum go with a friend instead. It was a musical based on the famous 80s band "The Winners". Never noticed that there was a Mega Star Arena beside the Kuchai Lama KFC. Turns out it houses the South Gate Church as well. Quite hidden. After dropping mum, SK and I went to KFC to tapau lunch. Little Monster fell asleep on the back seat cushion, so we drove home. The kid got up before

The usual Sunday routine. I'm sure my regular readers can guess what I did. Been in ages since I ate at Lammeeya , so I suddenly wanted to eat there. Horrible. Don't think I will be going back there. My loh yee mee was so chewy. The thick gravy was lukewarm and it just made the whole meal feel a tad too disgusting. Blegh. Mum ajak -ed me for cendol after that. But Teochew Chendul is forever crowded, so we tapau -ed. Brought it all the way to Cielo Dolci on the opposite end of Paradigm Mall. Ordered a mini cup of passion fruit yoghurt and S'mores and secretly ate it all there. Such an uncommon combination. Haha. At least we could have dessert in peace. Back home, I tried to burn off dessert by doing some workout routines in my room. Some interesting moves in Men's Health's Spartacus workout. Worked up a sweat, and felt a bit of burn in my muscles. Obviously that wasn't enough to chisel my body. Plus, the heavy dinner at MaisonSK later that night didn

It was a wet day at the market. Ironically, the taps were dry. Breakfast was at Kopitan Classic and it was horribly disappointing. My dry noodles were too soft and sickly sweet. And mum's curry noodles were too watery. Disposable utensils and paper cups were used because they had no water to do the dishes. Worst of all, the had even less water for the loos. Shit was left stranded in the bowls awaiting their saviour in two days time. Lovely. Finally managed to catch hold of my stylist for a haircut. But had to loiter a bit as the only slot he had was at noon. Got an extreme undercut in a last ditch effort to achieve the illusion of a slimmer face. XD. Since we had noodles for breakfast, mum suggested rice for lunch. Finally tried the famous siew yuk rice at Kedai Makan Mooi Mooi . Had an old world feel to it with the old wooden chairs and run-down look. Our bill was MYR13 for a plate of roast chicken rice and a plate of roast pork rice. Mahalz . The chicken was average but the s

After a fortnight of going for English mass, we finally went back to the Mandarin session. Years and years of irritation later, the church finally built a 'family room' for parishioners with pesky kids. Realising that one can never expect kids to behave and sit still, it's easier to take them out of the 'equation'. Basically they cordoned off one corner with sound-proof glass and expect all the noisy children to be herded in there. But then, not everyone likes to sit in a 'fishbowl', so many parents still end up sitting outside. And the parents are usually too optimistic about how long their children will fidget or wail. Not many will immediately drag their kids out. When this happens, one can see the priest pause a while letting patience wash over him. LOL. Went to Kota Damansara after mass. Remember the aroma diffuser that KH got the day before? He forgot to take the reeds. So off I went to The Strand again. Quite a challenge deciding what to eat over t

Woke up bright and early on Saturday morning to go marketing again. Lesser traffic due to Ching Ming perhaps. And several unoccupied lots in the market, something that rarely happens. Ate my favourite clear soup noodles at OUG then went home. With some time to kill before my coffee date with KH, I did some car interior maintenance, making it all bright and shiny again. At around noon, I went off to fetch him. As luck would have it, Waze was down and we couldn't navigate our way to Wood & Steel at Kota Damansara. While KH fiddled with his phone trying to figure things out, I just went on auto-pilot trying to retrace my steps back to the cafe. In the end, I used Google Maps when I was already in the Kota Damansara area. My boyfriend is truly hopeless when it comes to navigating. Never fails to rile me. As SK was in Tropicana visiting Lifebook, she decided to come over as well. But the temporary death of of the Waze service left her 'dead on the road' as well. And Googl

Swiped from NinjaHelloKitty/Ivan @ Flickr Note: Not sure how many people will send me hate mail after reading this, but the first person to roll his eyes would be KH. He doesn't eat sharks fin soup! The last time I attended a wedding lunch was in USJ City Mall for my lawyer's marriage. This time round it was my ex-colleague. At Noble Banquet . Quite a difficult timing for a Sunday. Had to attend English mass in order to make it, but still the timing was neither here nor there. Killed some time at Scott Garden. Got my caffeine fix at Starbucks since I was groggy from interrupted sleep ( damn power keeps tripping in the middle of the night ). After finishing a latte and a pastry, mum and I went to Tesco. As luck would have it, she found a kiosk doing dead skin removal for feet. Immediately sat down and did the 45 minute treatment. Nasty business, but mum was happy with the results. By the time it was done, it was already 12:15 pm. Just about right. Dropped mum off at the

Overslept a bit on Saturday morning. Was supposed to get up earlier to go to the market. Didn't really matter, not like I had to bersolek . Just had t skip my morning stretches and breakfast beverage. Mum actually found most of what she needed at Jalan Hujan Emas 8 market. We had breakfast there too. A simple bowl of soup noodles. Amazed that it was only MYR3.80. Although we nearly got everything we needed, it was customary to still go to the main market over at Jalan Hujan Emas 5. Canvassed a few Chinese medicine halls to source for some cordyceps. Obscene is the only way I can describe the price of that fungus. Tibetan cordyceps were selling at MYR1,000/tael. One tael is about 37.5gm. We bought the cheaper alternatives from China. Back home, I waited for the air-conditioning guy to service the air-conditioner in my mum's room. Zero maintenance since the day we bought it. LOL. Never realized that it was so troublesome. They practically dismantled the whole thing. It would ha
