will i am's delayed diary

Unlike your garden variety 'pious' gay lou, I don't make a yearly pilgrimage to Thailand. Truth be told, my last trip there was in 2008 with the BFF. SK, Apollo, Lifebook and QueerRanter-D planned a trip to Bangkok during the Malaysia Day weekend while KH and I did Chiang Mai. I didn't feel like going to BKK again. Might as well visit a different part of the country. But I think after seven years, the capital should be pretty different from what I remembered. Our flight was at 2:50 PM departing from KLIA2. Lunched at CBTL , Gateway @ KLIA2. Thrilled that I could use my Citibank B1F1 privileges there since technically it's not an airport branch. The flight was smooth and we reached CNX on schedule. At the arrival hall was surprised that all the men were required to fill up an extra form. No idea why. KH and I didn't take a taxi out of the airport but he hailed a somtheaw ( covered pickup truck ) from the roadside! That only cost us THB50 per person. Panda

Malaysia Day was a family outing for me, quality time with mum and KH. Hehe. We headed to The Gardens Mall for some shopping. The roads were clear and there were 1400+ available parking bays. All thanks to the Red Shirt Rally. Many decided to play it safe and spend the day at home. Hence the mall was also quiet and we found nothing interesting on the shelves. Even the mid-autumn feel was limited to a small section of the mall. Brought mum for a dim sum yum cha session at Grand Harbour , the very traditional thing for a son-in-law to do. Got some durian puffs which I didn't touch and KH's favourite custard buns. Also ordered char siew pastry which was quite good. I also liked their teng zai congee cause it had lots of stuff in it. Closed with a plate of signature fried bihun and that made for a great lunch. Bumped into Pikey and a bunch of his friends having lunch at Brotzeit. Been a long time since we met up. Sensing that KH felt a bit bored, I sent him off to Sharky who

Believe it or not, I had never eaten at Murni Discovery before. Many years ago, I was supposed to have a gathering at the their popular SS2 outlet, but when I saw the chaotic crowd of uni students there, I immediately turned away and headed for a quieter place. Today, they have 8 locations around Klang Valley. While waiting for mum to finish her massage, I lepak -ed at their Kepong Metro Perdana branch. Of course I ordered their signature Mee Raja . When the plate arrived, I could not help but stare at the obscene portion of noodles. I understood why they provide take away boxes at the public areas cause no normal person could finish that alone. Taste-wise, its nothing to shout about really. Ate what I could and packed the leftovers for mum. Not sure about their items though. Any recommendations? I'll end my post with a blurry photo of a twunk I saw there. Can't make out his features, but I think you can see that his arms are quite sexy!

Malebranche 's Okoicha Langue de Chat, oh how I've missed you. Thanks Brian for hunting this down for me in Kyoto. Nom nom nom!

To start off, Notepad++ crashed on me ( not that it never happened before ) and killed my text file in the process. I'm kinda pissed because that text file contained all my blog post notes that I had to publish! All my hard work gone in an instant! So forgive me if I'm gonna be a little brief here cause I had forgotten all the details!!! Go market beli sayur . Makan Daniel's wantan noodles. Bought some egg tarts from Tong Kee . Went out tea time paktor  with KH. Wanted Wild Sheep Chase, but there was a long line. Huge floor space, limited tables. Hunger marketing perhaps. Alternative?  Les Deux Garcons just a short walk away. Another couple did the same. The latte we ordered came in something that reminded me of a bowl more than a cup. It wasn't bad. Our table was next to a bunch of orang kaya  who brought their own liquor in a cooler box. They toasted each other: "So much suffering in the world, so let's enjoy life!" Didn't order

On Merdeka morning, had a dim sum breakfast with mum at Tian Xin , Equine Park. I was a bit surprised by how much mum ordered. Not her style at all, especially when it comes to meat. Did some shopping at AEON after that, but there weren't many Merdeka specials at all, so we didn't stay for long. Lunch was homecooked. An elaborate pairing of sweet potato-pumpkin soup with pan-fried salmon and sanma. Had an avacado too. Called my darling KH and Wai out for coffee in the afternoon. Our first choice was Sharky's recommendation-- Wild Sheep Chase at Taman Desa. Unfortunately, it wasn't open. Took us a while to find it since they didn't have a sign up. Ugh. KH suggested Await Cafe . My first time there. A Cina cafe for single origins hunters. I ordered a cup of Sumatran Madheling and it suit my palatte quite well. Paired that with a slice of cheesecake. No Merdeka feel at all this year. Hardly see any flags. I'm sure that Malaysians love their country, but they a

Mum and I did not participate in the fourth BERSIH rally. She told me that at her age, she shouldn't be running from tear gas canisters anymore. Haha. So on Saturday morning, I brought her to the wet market at Jalan Hujan Emas 8, Taman OUG. Quite a sight to behold really. Although we did not go to BERSIH, BERSIH some how came to us. Many of the vendors were wearing BERSIH 4 T-shirts. From the vegetable sellers to the fish mongers to the butchers to the wantan noodle hawkers. Those who did not have official T-shirts wore yellow. The same scene repeated itself at the main market at Jalan Hujan Gerimis 5. Even the staff at my favourite noodle stall were all in yellow. The only yellow I wore was my GX3 underwear. LOL. As usual, we had lunch at home. Cooked up a couple of plates of wholemeal noodles and paired it with roasted duck from the market. Satisfying. Went to The Mines with SK after that. Mum wanted to take a look at the Ms Read warehouse sale over there. Been ages since

Just some two weeks back, a colleague of mine lost control of her car on MEX highway while tackling a bend in the rain. Her cute little Hyundai i10 swerved from left to right after hitting her brakes. She lost control of the brakes and the steering wheel. When her car finally came to a halt, it was inches from the railing. Thankfully, no other vehicles were involved in that incident and she was not hurt, only shaken. That should have prompted me to have my tyres checked. It happened to me while I was driving home on a rainy night. Like her, I was manoeuvring a bend and when I hit my brakes, I could immediately feel my car moving forward faster than I intended. There was no way to steer. The car just lunged head on to the pavement. The moment my car hit the pavement, the steering unlocked and it rebounded to the outer lane. I regained control and drove back to the left lane, without missing a beat. I knew I was very lucky that there were no cars beside me at that moment. I continued t

KH bought a Groupon voucher for a meat platter at SOP ( Sound of Paradigm ), Paradigm Mall some months ago. He utilised it at the final weekend before it expired. Rounded up SK, Nicky05 and Sharky to join. Huge floor space but only a few tables occupied on a Saturday afternoon. Funny that the waiter told KH that they were fully-booked. Kelentong le tu . Was nice to see Nicky05 and Sharky again. The platter consisted of a pork knuckle, schnitzel, pork belly, bacon and a side of mash and sauerkraut. Also ordered some dark German beer and it was fun getting Sharky to drink it. One sip and he looked ready to hurl! At the end, we got him to take a wefie for us. That kid is a real natural. His arms are biological wefie sticks. Went to Pacific Coffee after that but Sharky didn't join. He needed to 'comfort' his gor who had just gone through a breakup. Another makan-makan event was slotted in the evening. An early celebration for Lifebook's birthday at Yamada . Sad to

I've had the "My Fave Undies Survey!" link on my blog since February 2011. So far it has garnered a yawn-inducing 124 respondents. Haha. It goes slowly, so what he heck, I'll just release the interim summary. Not all the questions are here because I added those much later, hence even less data to play with. So this is the feedback I received: Mini briefs came out tops. The most practical design for work and play I suppose. A balance between coverage and sexiness. Are you a mini briefs guy? I know I am. When it comes to the underwear band, most of the respondents prefer thick bands. More than half. Looks like Marky Mark in his undies left a lasting impression even after so many years. Personally, I dislike bands that are too thick. When you sit down, the fold, and that ruins the elastic. White seems to be favourite colour for my readers. Very basic, but very sexy at the same time. Unfortunately, harder to maintain. No skid marks please. Hehe. My personal
