Penang II: Blue, Banonuts & Birthday

Image
On the second day, we looked for breakfast at Jalan Sungai Ara. The kopitiam had a long table for us at the side alley. Food came from all over-- roti canai from across the road, wantan noodles ( yummy crispy wantans ) and semi-dry pan mee ( a style that I've not seen before, piping hot and perfect for breakfast ) from the shop, CKT, fried noodles and vegetarian food from another row shops. By the time we finished eating, my back was all wet from perspiration. Such a hot and gummy day. The first touristy thing for us to do in Penang was to go to the Blue Mansion. We were in time to catch the 11:00 AM guided tour. It has always been on my Penang "To Do List" to have a look inside. Our tour guide was Mr. Poh who gave interesting narrations about the history and architecture of the building. The mansion was a place where the famous merchant Cheong Fatt Tze did his business and housed his eight wives. According to Mr. Poh, the mansion was untouched by the war but many i

Penang I: Mumlindo

Planned a getaway to Penang with the gang during the Labour Day long weekend. Bought the flight tickets six months before. At that time, I wasn't certain what the plan for my mother's birthday was. Closer to the date, I found the travel dates to be clashing. Bro had bought tickets to KL for April 30th, while I was supposed to fly off on May 1st! Dang! To make things work, I suggested to my siblings to celebrate mum's birthday in Penang! After some discussion, we reached a consensus. The Tribe would drive to Penang on Friday and my brother would follow them. On the other hand, I bought an extra flight ticket for mum to Penang. Didn't want her to spend too much time in the car in case her neck acted up again. Unfortunately, the flight back to KL was sold out, so she would have to follow my sister's car back to KL. Instead of flying back to Singapore from KL, my brother bought a flight ticket from Penang to Singapore. Phew. With the arrangements in place, it was all

Quick Update

After the BKT expose in my last post, it's definitely necessary to post about something more healthy, like a morning run in Bukit Jalil Park. It had been ages since I brought out my running shoes and broke a sweat out there. And lunch was home-cooked noodles in chicken soup. Munched on some fresh strawberries too. A bit tired of Piccolo Cafe, KH & I went exploring and tried Kimosasa at the other side of Taman Equine instead. A dark vegetarian place. Just had a mocktail. Don't think there would be a repeat visit. In the evening, I had a BEC gathering at KM1. First time there. Pretty good security and living environment, but it comes at a price tag of RM500 a month!

Titi Tête-à-Tête

Image
Mum picked up a day trip flyer from the OUG morning market and decided to go to Titi. Her interest in that place was piqued during CNY when a church member told her that it was colourful, quaint, tight-knit small village. She managed to get a neighbour to join her and so I woke up at 5:00 AM on Sunday to prepare to send her out to the meeting point. At 6:00 AM, the bus picked them up at the OUG BHP petrol station. Since I was up so early, I decided to join SK at the 6:45 AM mass. Mass was celebrated by Father Justin, a new face from Sabah who was picked to head the Bahasa Malaysia Apostolic in KL. Funny that his introduction sounded like his resume! Finished by 8:00 AM. Gosh, still so early in the day. Both of us were craving for BKT, so we ate at Yi Xin Ge . Got my fix of spare ribs. Yum! On the way back home, we stopped a while at Taman Wawasan to buy breakfast for SK's granny and buy 4D. Suddenly had inspiration to gamble ( and of course I didn't strike any prize ):< ).

Osamu or Naoya?

Image
There's a GV actor from KO-Video that I have my eyes on with the name OSAMU AMAGASA ( a 20 year old with an athletic body ). If I'm not mistaken, he later signed with Coat as TAIIKUKAI SEIHA NAOYA . Also seen him with Coat. From what I've seen, he's a versatile fella with a hefty package. But I really like to seem him on the receiving end cause he OBVIOUSLY enjoys it when he is filled. Really sexy to see. In Coat's "Get Athlete Conquest - Naoya", I loved seeing him bobbing up and down while taking it like a canine. Such a turn on especially when the other guy services him at the same time. Also saw his performance in KO-Surprise!'s "Just Do It!" where he was paired with the twinky Asuka Aizawa. Loved his moans while he was being explored. He has appeared in other newer videos but they have yet to appear in torrents. I'll be keeping a look out!

Cutiepie's youngest daughter Belle turned one in April and she threw a birthday bash at Basil House , Kajang. The Indian restaurant had a function hall upstairs and judging by the Doc McStuffins banner on the wall, its frequently used for children's parties. The night before, I went shopping for a birthday gift at Isetan KLCC and truth be told, its not easy shopping for a one year old. Contemplated Duplo but I think it really isn't worth the dosh. Reverted to the classic Chinese gift instead-- the red packet. Cash is always king. LOL. But anyway, spotted something interesting at the toy section-- Polis DiRaja Malaysia Premium Die Cast Collection of police vehicles officially licensed to The Nine Products. Didn't realize that the police force dabbles in merchandising. What's next? Ketua Twitter Negara action figures by Bandai? Gosh. The Tribe didn't go to the party as BIL suddenly decided to bring them to Melaka to visit his mum. So only Mum, Sis, KH, SK an

Sunday Paktorlogy

Sunday breakfast was nasi lemak packed by mum. T'was a lazy Sunday morning with no place to go. Just had to keep the kids entertained by looking up some funny clips on YouTube. Dinosaurs. Hot air balloons. Fountains. Peppa Pig... Mum cooked a late lunch. Ate at 1345, just 15 minutes before KH picked me up for our play at KLPAC. Didn't know what I was watching until we entered Pentas 1. It was David Mamet's "Speed the Plow", starring Douglas Lim, Gavin Yap and Amelia Henderson. Truth be told, the Hollywood movie business satire was lost on me. The blazing American-ish dialogue between the two main characters didn't do it for me. Supposed to be "quick, witty, outrageous and ridiculously funny", but it didn't squeeze many laughs from the audience. Gavin looked so short beside his leggy P.A., but still, he had his boyish charms. Ended in about 90 minutes and I was free! Still to early for dinner, so we looked for a nearby cafe to relax and tal
