Post-Penang Christmas Eve

MyStuff , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Woke up bright and early on Christmas Eve. KH offered to suck me off but I wouldn't let him make me cum. Was conserving my energy for the long drive home. I jacked him off instead. Hehe. Breakfast was arranged by SK's Penang colleague. Lets call her Sandra cause her demeanour and voice reminds me of Sandra Ng Kuan Yu so much. Hahaha. She picked us up and brought us to coffee shop by the name of Restoran KCC . Tried a little bit of everything-- paitee , ham bun, pork soup noodles, yam cake and white curry noodles. I loved the curry noodles the most. We then went to another row of stalls at an unknown roadside for otak-otak and bak kwa bun. Otak-otak in Penang is different from what I'm used to. In Kuantan, the fish meat is whole. In Muar, more like fish cakes. But in Penang, it has the consistency slightly harder than steamed egg. And it has a trademark daun kalau inside. The bak kwa bun is very soft and small. I could fin

Piccolo Latte , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Note @ 2014|02|06 : Updated with more pics! Nothing beats waking up to your BF next to you. The embrace. The kiss. The hard dick that greets your hand when shove it down his trunks. Needless to say, we finished the previous night's unfinished business there and then. All groggy from the sex, we went out looking for food. Pooh recommended that we try out Wheat Connection for its wonderful pastries, but it was closed till after Christmas. Crap. Went to a Restoran Golden Lake at Sungai Nibong instead for hawker fare. Think it was the wrong place, but we were to hungry to care. Simply ordered Penang Hokkien Mee ( thumbs up ), duck koay teow th'ng , egg and kaya toast and mixed pork soup. Next up was to get ur coffee fix at Coffee Elements ( did you know that C8H10N402 is chemical structure of caffeine? ) in All Seasons Place. The whole place is like IOI Boulevard, only dead-er ( literally too cause I heard that its built on

Penang I: William on William

Old Dim Sum , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Pooh and ZaiZai invited me to Penang roughly more than a couple of years ago. I had lost count how many times they asked me about it. But anyway, finally made it happen with KH, Apollo and SK. Road trip!!! Apollo drove SK's Almera as it was bigger compared to his new Attrage. He picked us up at 7:00 am and by 9:00 am we were having breakfast at Restoran New Paradise , Bercham. Seemed to be popular for their dim sum , noodles and bao . Unfortunately, most of the dim sum was sold out and we only managed to get some charsiew bao and loh mai kai . In my opinion, I've had better charsiew bao else where. Think the burnt the meat a little. The kau yuk bao was much better though. Since the place was only 1 km from my mum's recalcitrant tenant, I asked Apollo to drop me there to take a look. According the the neighbour, they had moved out, but still come back now and then to feed the cats the what not. From the looks of things,

Add Some Colour , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Note: 冬 is more important than 年! LOL. But Happy Year of the Horse y'all! Celebrated the Winter Solstice on Saturday with friends and family. SK had invited Apollo, Brian, Adam and Frankie-D over as they all did not go home to their respective home towns for reunion dinner. BIL's brother and sister also came. It was a huge cook out with mum and SK in the kitchen. In total, we had twelve dishes-- lotus root soup, arrow root with lean pork, steamed silver pomfret, soya sauce chicken with pacific clams, steamed pork ribs in ginger bean sauce, braised duck, tomato omelette, grilled chicken, bacon- enoki roll, tomato prawns, siew pakchoy with shiitake and mum's signature salad. For drinks, we had Moet & Chandon champagne and Wammsler sparking mead! Fantastic right? Amazingly, we found space for fruit rojak and of course tang yuan . This year, mum decided to use filling. We had home made sweet potato paste and chocolate

Suddenly Singapore II: Orchard Lights & Casino Lights

Christmas Cookies , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. On my second day in Singapore, I arranged a meet up with KH's wife in Singapore, Moonlight Piggy an ex-colleague of his. Met her over lunch at the food court attached to the Tanjung Pagar MRT station. She told me to look out for the giant Minion standing near the control booth. True enough, there she was in a superbly yellow dress ( imperial yellow! ) and came running over to give me a hug. That must have been some scene for the commuters. :D. Being the gracious host, she treated me to one of Singapore's favourite food, fish soup. Hot and soupy, definitely a crowd pleaser for the Chinese. She ordered for me, so I just sat and waited, no need to 'chop' our seats with tissues. LOL. She also gave me some chocolate cookies from Laurent Bernard Chocolatier and told me to share them with KH ( on the other hand, I gave her a pair of Doraemon travel chopsticks :P ). Wanted to end lunch with coffee, but crowds were crazy

Suddenly Singapore I: Finding Friends

Tokio Marine , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. My bosses arranged a training session in Singapore out of the blue for some technical issue, so I was there for three days and two nights. At first, I was supposed to fly Silk, but due to a company policy forbidding employees to travel on the same flight, I had my ticket changed to Jetstar. Well, at least it flies from KLIA. Checked-in early so that I would have the chance to use the Plaza Premium Lounge ( unlimited access with Alliance Bank Platinum ). Good that I was there early cause by 8:00 am, there was a queue outside. My colleague was shocked when he saw the line. Not quite exclusive hor ? LOL. Food was so-so, but at least the latte was satisfying. It was my first time visiting the Singapore office. Basically the seat of power is there. The KL office is just a proxy. We are the puppets while the puppet master pulls the strings from down South. The office was on Cecil Street, very close to the famous Amoy Food Court. On our fir

Twice A Year Disaster

Rings of Calamari , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Sunday was a working day for me. My client wanted to test their disaster recovery readiness ( BNM requires at least two exercises a year ), so they switched their host system to their DR box. I didn't take the early shift as I needed to go to church. Good for me as everything that could go wrong would be at the onset anyway. LOL. By the time I went in at 12:00 pm, all the problems had been ironed out. Hehe. Thought that lunch would be provided, but I was so wrong. At 2:00 pm, I beh tahan jor , so I went for lunch with a couple of colleagues at the nearby mamak . Mee goreng mamak + ayam goreng . Hehe. That kept me full till dinner time. Did the final checkpoints at 6:30 pm before handing the baton to my boss. Drove home and waited for SK to bring me to dinner. Chose to try Drunken Cat Restaurant at Kuchai Lama. Heard that they were quite famous at Peel Road. Not a lonely affair as we were joined by KH, KT and Lifebook. Most of

Breakfast Noodles , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Come Saturday, I settled my extended warranty with Nissan in just under thirty minutes. Went home after that to have breakfast with the kids. Had a hankering for Restoran Yong Seng 's pork ball noodles. Accompanied SK to the ENT after that. Wanted to drag Big Monster along ( separating the brothers create less headache for my mum ), but he refused to budge from the TV. Her specialist had a posh clinic in Bangsar South. A jovial character. Went in to see how he pushed the scope into her nasal cavity. Yikes. And I was there to help SK answer the doctor on the meds that she was on and side effects that she had in response to some others.Gosh, like I was the hubby. For lunch, SK suggested Ficelle Pattiserie Boulangerie at Taman Desa. Hidden at a corner, near Watsons. Never noticed the place. Bad service and hot surroundings, but I was impressed with the price and food quality. Recommended items are the semi-spicy mixed vegetable a
