What are the odds of bumping into your primary school classmate while shopping in Suria KLCC? What are the odds of recognizing your primary school classmate while shopping in Suria KLCC? What are the odds that your primary school classmate recognizes you while shopping in Suria KLCC? For some freaky reason, we managed to recognize each other. We actually remembered each other's name too. I was so chubby back then, wonder what gave me away. My phoenix eyes? He quickly got my number and added me into a What's App group of old school mates. Horror of horrors? Well, it wasn't that bad. However, I was the only Chinese fella in there. Started trying to remember all the old names. Dug out old class photos. Did the express catch up. Most of them were married with kids except for my head boy. He's still single, sports K-pop hair and likes to run. Still as fair as I remember him with some Japanese blood running in him. Perhaps he's gay, but I've yet to make any conn

Been a while since mum and I ventured to Empire Shopping Gallery. Made a trip there after church for lunch and shopping. Showed mum the F&B choices there and she chose Canton-i . How the prices there have increased! MYR20-30 for rice and noodles with roast meat. When the waitress recommended the roast goose, I looked at the price and immediately shook my head. Halfway through my soup noodles, a family of three showed up and sat beside us. Their voices dominated half of the restaurant. Hubby: Darling please la! Let me go to the doctor! I'm sick you know! I have no idea why the wife wouldn't allow him to seek medical attention. But truthfully, he didn't sound sick with a booming voice like that. Hubby: (speaking to the air) Goodness! How hard is it to make a cup of lemon tea?! (waiter walks over to check then later brings the drink) Wife: I think they forgot your order. Hubby: Yeah la!!! Why didn't you follow up on it!?  They were so obnoxious tha

Made the first CNY market foray on the 9th of January. Due to the proximity to the festive season, all the Cina Babi s from all around descended on OUG to make their preparations. The multi-level car park was full and people parked deeper into the residential area. Of course the traffic was also bad. Took me more than three rounds around the market to find a spot. Even with a bigger crowd, I didn't see many CNY-specific items. No firecrackers and smuggled liquor. Not many stalls selling biscuits and snacks. Just one stall selling decorations. Don't think it was in full-swing yet, but the CNY weather had started with a scorching sun. In the market throng, I was lucky enough to tail a hunky fellow in red ( auspicious colour ). He had a wide back and wavy hair, a masculine jaw with slitty eyes. I shall call him Red Robert . For breakfast, mum and I tried a new stall just outside Restoran Ong Lay . It was run by two Vietnamese ladies. I ordered their pork noodles and bahn mi

On the first Sunday of 2016, I revisited Paradigm Mall after a long hiatus. Happy to see some new shops but there were still unoccupied lots. Christmas decorations were modest as they used up most of their budget on the licensing of the "The Peanuts Movie" characters most probably. Ate lunch at Sushi Zanmai . Ordered a mixture of salad, sushi and grilled stuff. KH worked in the morning and was just in time to join mum and I. As the good son-in-law, he joined us shopping. Mum was looking for CNY clothes. My poor darling was not used to my mum's shopping stamina because his own mother ain't an avid shopper. He needs more practice. We moved from shop to shop, but alas mum only managed to buy one blouse. Rested our legs at Cosans Coffee . It was my first time there although Apollo gave me warnings about the joint. Well, the coffee wasn't that bad. Still better than the drain water at Urbean. The red velvet was ho-hum as well. A bit dry. Dinner that night was

Just a quick update to say: Happy Year of the Monkey! Yeah, I know it's already CNY 3, but I'm famous for my tardiness right? It's my year and it's my third cycle! Yikes! Haha. Eat, be merry and monkey around!

For many years I have maintained certain rules when it comes to choosing which underwear to wear. For day wear, I would exclusively go for briefs. I never favoured trunks or boxer briefs under my clothes because I thought that it would be too hot with the extra coverage. All my trunks and boxer briefs were worn for bed or lounging in the privacy of my home. But of late, I found myself breaking that rule cause I was too lazy to segregate them anymore. Whatever I dug out from my underwear drawer or temporary storage ( I have resorted to storing underwear in my luggage bags ) I would wear. Turns out that there's no problem with wearing trunks to work. The next rule to break would be regarding jockstraps...

Mum wanted to do some shopping at Santorini's only boutique in town, so we ended up at Publika on the first Saturday of the year. As usual, Publika was decked out with a bunch of artsy-fartsy modern interpretations of Christmas trees. All sorts of uncommon materials-- wooden clothes pegs, rope, palms, canvas. All sorts of weird designs-- shaped like a teepee, doubles as a spinner. Spinner Christmas Tree from William Ng on Vimeo . Ate lunch at  Coffee Société . Been meaning to give it a try. It wasn't that great really. The hazelnut latte wasn't as great as described in Foursquare. My croissant with smoked duck didn't look like much, but it was actually quite filling. And its one of those joints that are fully-operated by Bangladeshis. Waiter: There's beef in the Big Breakfast. Moi: No problem. Waiter: I have to tell. If I don't some customers like to complain. So I have to ask. Sometimes I tell them, but when I serve it, they complain that I
