Chew on Some Balls

Image
Tang Yuan come in many styles, shapes and sizes. Kinda like cocks. Yes. above is a dango style that my mum made purely for food photography. And this is the typical Tang Yuan that I have been eating since I was a child-- in palm sugar and pandan soup. Delicious enjoyed hot or cold. Strangely, I prefer the salty over the sweet like this Tang Yuan in chicken leek soup. Best served hot of course. Lastly is Tang Yuan that I had while at work-- with crushed peanuts and ginger soup. How do you like to have your balls?

Babysitting with KH

Image
In order to make it to English mass at SIC, we had to get up at 7:00 AM. After getting ready, one still needs to fuss over the sleepy kids. At church, we bundled them into the soundproof family room and hoped that they would not be too rowdy. Big Monster asked me a legit question: Big Monster: Is Jesus dead? Moi: Yes, but he resurrected after three days. Big Monster: Oh, someone threw him a Potion of Regeneration. In case you were wondering, he was talking about something from Minecraft! Obsessed with that game, they are. We ate breakfast at Mian then headed home. Mum needed to prepare for her event in the afternoon. She boiled the tang yuan and packed loads of pots and ladles. There was even a portable stove in the heap of stuff. Sent her out to Happy Garden where she would carpool to Brickfields with her friends. It's daunting to handle the two monsters alone so I employed the help of KH. Picked him up and went for a late lunch at Secret Loc Cafe , Kuchai Lama.

Early TangYuan

Once again, my Saturday was spent at Sri Petaling because of Big Monster's class there. To compensate for Christmas, he had a double class which lasted till 3:00 PM. Since that was the case, we dropped him off and immediately headed to Bandar Park, OUG. I was long overdue for a haircut, so I paid my stylist a visit. For some reason, my stylist was in a good mood that day. He paid more attention than usual to my hair and was very proud when he was done. According to him, it was different from what he usually did. I couldn't really detect the difference. LOL. Paid him, and went looking for my mum and the little one. We loitered at Parkson for some minor Christmas shopping. Little Monster browsed the toy department, but he did not pester me to buy anything. Little Monster: How much is this Minecraft® Hot Wheels® Ghast Attack Track™? Moi: MYR145. Little Monster: Wah, so expensive! Impressed. Much self-control. Parkson's gift wrapping counter was so swamped but they

Filipino First

From the looks of things, I didn't botch my first interview because HR called me for a second interview. It was a very last minute thing because their director was in town for a business trip, but I declined the appointment. Did a phone interview a few days later instead. I had a leisurely breakfast at Old Town White Coffee , BK5 before calling in. It went well I guess. The director did not have too much to say or ask. Wrapped it up in less than an hour. Hopped on the LRT and headed to Masjid Jamek for lunch. At that hour, the Masjid Jamek LRT underpass was so deserted. Something that I don't often see. Perfect for some public sex video. Hahahaha. KH suggested that we have Pinoy cuisine for lunch. Immediately agreed because I had never dined in a Filipino restaurant before. My only experience was limited to a roast pork rice that I had at Lau Pa Sat food court in Singapore. Don't think that counts. The Laguna Restaurant at Jalan Gereja has a simple interior with so

Your Name is Nuri

Once in a while, a subset of the BFF get together when the opportunity presents itself. We were lucky enough to catch Alexander the Gay who had relocated to Singapore for years. Together with KH, Khatijah, Janvier, and of course JL, we met up for lunch at Naughty Nuri's , Desa Sri Hartamas for a babi  lunch. My first time at that outlet actually. They have two seating areas, one indoor and one 'outdoor'. KH and I were the first to arrive, so we were tasked with choosing a table. Sounds like an easy task no? Believe it or not, we actually changed tables a total of five times trying to find the coolest spot and to avoid the stinky smell of 'salted fish' ( smelled like rotting rubbish to me ) in the restaurant. Once we found the most optimum spot, we could finally think about the food. We shared a rack of their famous pork ribs, grilled cumi-cumi , Indonesian fried noodles, and salad ( that's full of roast pork-- the best way to enjoy vegetables ). Lunch was

Isetan Kiss

At the Isetan checkout: (Leaned over to whisper into KH's ear) Moi: My credit card PIN is XXXXXX KH: ... Think I got it. Later on What's App: KH: I thought you were leaning in for a kiss just now! Moi: LOL. That's a 'kiss' that's worth a lot of money! Dear KH, Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Year of the Rooster! Happy 10th Anniversary! Love, William. P.S.: Happy CNY to all my readers of course!

Lunch with Four Monsters

Image
Met up with Cutiepie over lunch at One Utama. The occasion was to celebrate her belated birthday.  She brought her two monsters along, while I also had two monsters of my own. In comparison, she was much braver because she was alone ( while mum was with me ) and had arrived there since 11:00 AM. Three hours with two kids in a mall, a daunting feat. Told her that we would be eating at Ante at the Rainforest section. She had some trouble finding the place and her son had drained her smartphone battery. Thankfully, she found the place. With four kids at the table, all Hell broke loose. Couldn't have a decent sit down meal. The kids were shouting and running around. I don't think we properly enjoyed what was served. Haha. I was impressed with the pastas. At sub-MYR30, they were value for money and delicious. Even a simple item like the Garlic Olio came with lots of bacon bits. Delicious. Cutiepie told me that she forgot where she parked her car, and the photograph of the locat

Sing

Image
Decided to bring the kids to watch Illumination's "Sing"  after seeing how the kids enjoyed the YouTube trailers. They seem to be particularly fond of the bunnies singing "Anaconda". Gunther the pig's rendition of "Bad Romance" also resonated with them. Watched it at IOI Mall with KH. The kids gave it two thumbs up. Even Little Monster gave his full attention. Wonder how much royalty they paid to cover all those songs. Right after the movie, the kids were screaming for dinner. To make things simple, we dined at TGIF. Tortillas, fajitas and quesadillas seem to be compatible with their appetite. The kids were sort of hyperactive after the movie. Was tempted to ply them with Long Island Iced Tea! That ended my movie date with KH..... and the kids... and my mum.

Depressing Pos Ekspres

Image
I often complain about Pos Laju, but this is the first time I am ranting about Pos Ekspres. Pos Malaysia's lack of respect for its SLA is really quite mind-numbing. From a maximum of three days, I only received my the item six days later! Really wonder why I paid MYR3.70. Look at the chronology of events below from Pos Malaysia's Track and Trace v2 ( Track and Trace v1 has been down for donkey years and e-Commerce sites are still referring to that ): Took five days for them to get the item from Butterworth to Seri Kembangan. I think they were aging the item. OK. I'll start ignoring it right away. Saw so many complaints on the Pos Malaysia Berhad Facebook page. The administrators kept advising the customers to file an online complaint. Repeating it over and over again.

Kensei

Image
Been a long time since I wrote about Japanese GV actors. There's this one guy called Kensei (for COAT ) who looks really cute in my opinion. Has an angular face with cute eyes. Also a sunny smile with a gap tooth, though it's rare. And he has a nice physique ( nice pecs, abs, thighs, not overly-developed ) that is coupled with a tanned complexion ( I don't need my boys to be tanned, but I'm sure many out there like that kinda thing ). Very sporty. Looks great in Speedos and track suits. Really can carry off the athlete look. Perfect with the exception of his package-- not so well-endowed compared to his peers in the industry. I'm not a size queen, so I don't mind. Overall, a handsome fella. On his 'acting skills', he's not exactly expressive ( think Keanu Reeves ), but of course I can overlook that. One of the titles puts his statistics as 188 cm, 78 kg, and 18 years old. Not too sure about the age. Think that's fabricated. I've seen h

BFF

Image
For several years now, William Yap Yai Leong had been producing gay-themed plays in Chinese that offer laughter, eye candy, and of course the compulsory public service announcement. Very popular among the Chinese-speaking gay community. KH and I watched "People Like Us" in 2014 and followed up with "Long Term Relationship" a year later. The previous installment was "One Night Stand", but I didn't catch that. The latest was "BFF" which we nearly missed too because the tickets sold like hot cakes. The plot revolved around seven friends, each with their own problems, bringing at least seven social issues to the table. Quite a mouthful really. We get: HIV Chemsex Gang violence Infidelity Webcam blackmail Coming out Fall out friends Death of a spouse Lovely no? You'd be asking, "How about the skin?". Truth be told, we don't get much of that this time round. Weird that the use so much skin for the promotio

Twenty5

There was a big breakfast gathering at my house as mum called in my sister, BIL, and SK to finish the leftover food from the day before. So much meat in the morning. LOL. We did our best. Whatever we couldn't finish we fed to the malnourished alley cats. It was also the day I sent in my car for a minor service. Managed to collect my car just in time for Big Monster's class in Sri Petaling. Loitered at The Store for a bit before eating lunch at Twenty5 . KH joined us. That cafe had a STRONG vibe with quite a number of sisters among the customers and staff. Wai confirmed that it is a pink establishment. Lovely. Foursquare recommended their Salted Egg Pasta, but I didn't really taste the salted egg. Perhaps the curry cream overpowered it. However, the portion was delightfully big. Also love their White Affogato with its strong espresso. At 1:30 PM, I picked Big Monster up from his class. It was quite a long walk for the kid actually. Big Monster took a look at the me

Forgot Your Brolly?

Image
KH suggested that we paktor at Brolly, Menara Felda. Looking at Google Maps, the building is accessible from Jalan Ampang but when I walked there, the MRT construction seems to have blocked the connecting road ( a part of Persiaran KLCC ). I doubled back, choosing to access the restaurant via KLCC Park. It was actually my first time walking the whole length of the park. Emerged at Platinum Park which was very close to Brolly. Luck wasn't on our side because the restaurant was closed for a private event. From the looks of it-- a Christmas party. There was even a guy who came dressed as a Christmas tree. Yes, a tree. Back to our problem of dinner. We took a look at the adjacent building, Naza Tower, and found BLVD House . The place looks handsome with much 1930s charm-- revolving doors, wood and brass, upholstery, black and white tiles, and bentwood chairs. My only complaint was the loud music. For starters, we had a fruity beef carpaccio that was kinda tasteless in my
