-Fried Chicken Skin!!!-

-Fried Chicken Thigh & Fries-

-Fried tou foo, wanton, sausage!!!-

That was my dinner and I don't think I'll be able to talk tomorrow.... need......... pei... pa.... gou...... ubat cap ibu dan anak wtf..............

Cny & Pg Updates

First of all, Gong Xi Fa Chai ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Second, gomenasai for the super late update............

Third, where's my ang pow wtf?

Fourth, I think I shall start my update with Penang.

Drove over on 18th Jan. Didn't know the way there and was laughed at when I thought I should use the same way to Malacca (it's the opposite direction wtf). By my dad some more! Luckily I had my ever reliable Garmin GPS and it has officially become a necessity to me. The journey took 3 and a half hours, further than Kuantan but easier since there isn't any windy, accident prone road throughout. Also I had Ken Hirai to accompany me. 3 CDs long wtf. Somehow driving over this time wasn't as boring....felt kinda holiday-ish. Probably because of my jakun-ness crossing over the sea via a bridge and looking forward the many many foodsss I will endeavour in the coming months muahahaha!

After passing the bridge I had to call W to direct me to my rented condo since Garmin also didn't know where it was, not so reliable anymore wtf. Fortunately I'm smart enough to figure out where it was and finally found the place. Didn't know what to expect because my Kuantan house was nearby a crazy lady's house and my previous housemates were fishermen wtf. This is however damn....... NICE!

I always thought the rent I am paying is kinda expensive..... but after seeing the place I realised why. Air conditioned, astro, wireless, washing machine, etc etc all provided. Some more it's green... damn fated.... so I shall pay... I pay!!! My room's quite small though... only enough to fit in a matress, a wardrobe and a small table. So this time no one can come crash at my place d.....

My office is about 15 minutes drive away. No jam, so it's tolerable but still cannot compare to my 2 minute drive to office in Kuantan wtf. 8 a.m start work, 7.35 wake up. Now, 8 a.m start work 6.50 wake up. blah.................................... Working culture here is really different, expectations are higher and the people are 'interesting'.

As for the bestest part of Penang, the FOODs! Sorry again but I gotta potong stim a bit because I didn't get to take any food pics while I was there. Usually either forget to take camera out or after work just too tired to do so. On the first week there, I ate more than 10 plates of fried koay teow. Thats like an average of 1.5 plates a day wtf. And now I'm kinda sick of it d. I also tried their Hokkien Noodle. Funny thing, the Hokkien noodle there isn't the black black fat noodle wtf they have it here in KL. Hokkien noodle there is the same as our Prawn Noodle here. Mee Yok. Har Mee. But it's damn nice lo. The one I ate was really spicy and usually gotta wait damn long to be served. And another thing, the order taker (wife) and the cook (husband) has a common trait. Black face wtf. Don't understand why they have this super moody and negative aura surrounding them. Their business is good what! And my colleague told me that apparently you can never order anything from the husband because he's in some hokkien-mee-trance-mode wtf since he listens and responds to nothing but his wife. Such a loving moody couple. Other than that, I've tried other foodss like duck noodle, law mee (special because they have chicken feet which I don't eat wtf), famous wan tan noodle, nasi kandar, pasumbor (Indian rojak), chinese rojak..... can't remember d. But the one I can never forget is the super crunchy, very sinful, extremely delicious, surely heart attack FRIED CHICKEN SKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's located at Gurney food court and omg I love it. I think I ate it 4 days in a row. And it's only because they were closed on the remaining days. I think I'm obsessed because I always think about it when considering my options for dinner. Seriously if it's not so health threatening, it'll already be my staple food. No more rice or noodle or bread. Ok I think I need to stop now. *cruch crunch crunch* Again so sorry for no pics. I only have mental pics taken. *crunch crunch crunch*.

Okay, next will be my CNY updates.

It was nice and easy because I took a flight home this time and I don't wanna risk the balik kampung jam. Already planned and booked my flight last year via Air Asia. So smart to book early but 1 week after I booked and paid they came out with the no fuel surcharge promotion. Fuck.

This is the first thing I saw when I went into my room. A golden Ox wtf. My parents thought I should have it since I was born in the year of the Ox. I told them to take it away because I wasn't that superstitious and leaning more towards the western side. Then they reminded me that my western zodiac is Taurus. I gave up.

On CNY eve, my family had a steamboat reunion dinner. Mum got all the preparations done and we simply sit back, shake balls and waited for dinner....... HAHAHA.... I used the excuse of tired coming back from outstation and yada yada. And my mum did an awesome job!

Dinner was really good. And to add the CNY feel, we used the authentic chinese rice bowls and chopsticks and spoons. If only we have bird cages and jade/marble chairs wtf. The steamboat was really good and there's a Lim family recipe secret I would like to share. It's my mum's fried rice. One of the best I've tried.... why? Because it's fusion. Instead of using Chinese sausages (lap cheong), she replaced it with streaky bacon. DAMN NICE. Try it once, and you pasti nak lagi wtf.

Overall CNY was kinda the same for me. Go visiting, collect ang pows, gamble, lose money. The usual. So for the remaining holidays, I decided to go out with some other people and do non-cny stuff. Shopping and eating! Muahaha!

Realising the coming fats I would gain from Penang eateries, I must work out and join a gym. They only have FF and Celebrity in Penang. Didn't know which was better but luckily E is going to get me a 1 month free trial in Celebrity. Can save one month's fee wtf but I didn't have any gym attire. So there goes my ang pow money.

Went shopping with Py and got a pair of shoes, dry fit top and pants in MidValley. One bad experience was that we initially saw this pair of shoes at the Nike Shop in the Gardens. No size there so we asked the salesgirl to check for us in the other Nike branches. It's obvious she wasn't willing to do so but went reluctantly. After 3 minutes she came back saying all sold out. Not surprising huh. Then we went to the MidValley branch to check and guess what, they have my size. How surprising and Wtf right. Not sure if there's some internal sales competition going on or she's just plain lazy or having a really bad pms. Was so tempted to go back there to ask the potential pms girl but Py was too kind and I was too lazy to walk all the way back. Py also got something for herself. I used my evil-pursuasive power to make her buy a Rm300 Esprit bag. So proud of myself until it backfired. I also bought one wtf!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a man's sling bag and I got it for Rm150 after discount. Reason being, it would allow me to put all my manly stuff into my manly bag wtf when I go out in future. Wallet, handphone, camera, Ipod, PSP, and condoms. What? Joking la.

As for my eating sessions, I only went out twice for nice makans. One was with M at Pasta De Gohan in Sunway Pyramid and the other was with the girls at Bavarian Bierhaus, German Beer and Sausages restaurant at The Curve. Son Gohan's pasta wtf was really good since it incorporated both Japanese and Western elements in their paste. Their super saiyan wtfff green tea ice cream dessert literally killed me. I actually went and tasted heaven. Lame but I really did. As for the German sausages, they were tasty but rather short. Haha as wrong as it sounds, it was delicious la. Also quite worth it, Rm19.90 for their set lunch which consists of a drink, soup and a main course. The portion isn't big but enough for lunch. Don't go there if you're looking for quantity but please try if you're seeking quality.

-Chicken Katsu Tamato ji-

-Tomato Cream Sauce Chicken and Mushroom Fettucini-

-Eggplant & Minced Beef Gratin-

-Macha Azuki Parfait-

Fuck!!!

Kuantaned!

Oh hai!
4 months 4 months in Kuantan and I'm finally DONE! Time flies I tell ya. Just a few posts ago I fret and complained how lonely and boring I got and yada yada. Now I'm already preparing for my next attachment, Penang! Yesterday was a rush when I was finishing up my work (don't want to leave any shit for my colleagues to follow up after I leave wtf) and then went home to stuff my things into my car. End up no time and just threw everything inside. While packing I realised I had alot of unnecessary stuff like accumulated plastic bags (to throw rubbish wtf), accumulated rubberbands and strings to tie rubbish bag swtf, books I brought but didn't read, shin chan comics, unused cups I bought when I expected friends to visit, thousands of clothes hangers, all my pirated dvd series, and the list goes on..... Gotta admit although I'm happy leaving Kuantan now, there are things I'm gonna miss. The people here are so nice! I really hope the people in Penang would be the same!! I'm gonna miss the beer and people in LemonGrass Bar! I'm gonna miss being called Anuar Zain celup Cina wtf, I'm gonna miss the free iced nescafe and food I get from my Kai Ma (Godmother) so cheapskate wtf. I'm gonna miss scolding and listening to the waitresses complaining about their bf and the domestic violence attempts (cry cry cry but still wanna be together wttttttf!). Anyway these are random pics I took throughout my Kuantan attachment...

On the way to Kuala Terengganu for a regional meeting, I pursuaded my colleaguess to stop by this stall and try this drink called Air Nira. Looks dirty and disgusting but it actually tastes quite alright. It's made from coconut but I don't know which part of it. The smell is a little pungent, something like todi without the alcohol kick to it. Not that bad la. Still drinkable and no I did not get diaerrea. But I don't think I will try it again. heeeeee..........................

This is something I had very often for breakfast, Nasi Minyak (oil rice wtf). No la it's not literally oil and rice only... similar with Briyani rice. It's actually very nice but too filing for me. People here eat alot of rice even for breakfast. And I'm obligated to follow them. How to not get fat?

This is an East Coast famous rice dish, Nasi Kerabu. I absolutely love it! Rice mixed with lots and lots of vegetable strips, shaved coconut, sambal and roast beef! Seriously damn nice! A must try if you go there! This is also usually eaten for breakfast. Fattening too but not so bad since there're more vege and I really like it. Fat also worth it wtf.

This is my kai ma. Funny story since she's one of my retailer who was supposingly very difficult to handle. So I was forced to unleash my goodboy and innocent look power wtf and deal with her. Somehow she fell for it and I got to know her a little better and boom became my godmother. After that I started to get free iced nescafe and lunch. Then I received Christmas present, and then New Year present, and then CNY Ang Pow and lastly Vitamins to take to Penang. You see, never underestimate the power of goodboy and innocent look wtf. But I'm not thick skin also and I'm kinda embarrassed that she treated me so well. Therefore I took her and her son for dinner. See I'm equally nice. >.<

This is my assignment manager in Kuantan. In formal terms, he's my boss but I call him my "Ah Hia", brother wtf! That's why I'm so gonna miss the people in Kuantan. Everyone's cool about everything which made work fun! Of course he's the cause of my constant Tiger and Heineken consumption too wtf. The amount of beer I drank throughout the 4 months in Kuantan is way more than what I drank my entire life before I went there. Nonetheless I had fun and incredible memories there!

Felt so shy because I'm sitting on the Regional Manager's seat (the man-in-black.. lamechop I know). State clerk behind. Nervous until smile damn fake wtf.

When I came back to Kl finally went to see my coach (KL main reporting manager). Did my sign off and was glad to get a good appraisal from him! Means good bonus later this year muahahaha! After that managed to meet up with Ws for lunch at 1U. Didn't know they opened a few new restaurants there. Went to New York New York Deli which serves New York food wtf. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, soups.... aiya western food la. I ordered their All-Day-Breakfast which was okay only but I will definitely go back there since there're so many other dishes in their menu. Prices are reasonable too!

-Pumpkin Soup-

-Crispy Buffalo Wings-

-Ws' Salmon sandwich.. yucks-

-Big Big Breakfast-

-Glutton eat so much-

This last pic is actually for Ws to show off to the other 2 wtf, sitting in the Avanza and eating with me in my uniform. I feel so used, like some fcking zoo animal.

Will be leaving for Penang this Sunday, a whole new chapter which will not be 4 months 4 months but
4 and a Half Months,4 and a Half Months!

When Buns go bad...

I went back to Kl again this weekend. Actually I didn't plan to until my boss asked me and was really surprised when I said no. Following his reaction I thought to myself and spontaneously packed my stuff and drove back :D Called Ms J no. 1 to have our hokkien mee session but she was busy. Darn! So in the end I just went home and had dinner/ supper with my family. Later that night was surprised to received a msg from Ms J no.2. We shared our fair share of probs on msn but it wasn't consoling enough. So at 12.45 a.m I decided to go over her place and resumed our one-on-one therapy wtf. Even had to bring my own 3-in-1 coffee simply because that woman doesn't know how to work her 'high-class' coffeemaker. It was great for 2 heartbroken people catching up laughing shamelessly at our crazy fantasies. I left at 4 a.m dead tired.

The next day was more exciting. Took Ms. J no.2 out for dinner at Rakuzen. She misses her avocado crabmeat salad and I miss my zen beef sukiyaki. Again the both of us unleashed our 38ness assuming everyone else thought of us as a couple. Sorry...... not just any couple but a celebrity couple wtf. After dinner we were just too full, so we decided to take a stroll along Pavillion. We went crazy and acted like tourists. I seriously wonder what went wrong that night.....

The final itinerary was to have drinks, get drunk and end the night. It was bad. Wanted to go to Wabisabi at TTDI but it was full. So ended up at Modesto Tao which served lousy drinks and bad service. When we went in we were greeted by the Filipino waitress. Her face instantly changed when she saw us as a couple. I was kinda confused until we went in and saw there were many call girls serving balding fatty uncles. Guess we were not potential customers for her. Hence the cold service wtf.














On a totally different topic, I witnessed a sweet cat-couple wtf when I was back home. They were this 2 cats which kept brushing their heads to one another, almost as if they were re-assuring their love. Either that or they have equally itchy heads wtf. It was nice to see such loving cats instead of the ones which keep purring outside my kitchen door demanding for food whenever my mum cooks.

Btw, have a great 2009 everyone! Meow Meow!!

Need I say more?

So long didn't post anything so I'll post a long one this time....

23rd December 2008, Tuesday
Just attended the regional meeting for 9 freaking hours. Mentally tired and was contemplating of driving back to Kl or not. Decided to fuck it and drive home because I don't wanna drive back on Xmas eve. Sure damn tired when I reach Kl and thus spoil my Xmas mood.

24th December 2008, Wednesday
Woke up doing nothing.... laze around and watch anime only... until I go to Grandma's place for Xmas eve dinner. Now, Xmas dinners are always nice. They have turkey, roast potatoes, steamed veges and yummy desserts. This is what I had.




Curry prawn, stew duck, yong tau foo,stir fried vege ........... what's so christmasy about these...... CNY also same food........... need i say more?

The company was alright though. Was fun to catch up with cousins and was even more fun when aunts RE-interrogate my lovelife: "Shaun where's your Gf? Your brother getting married already wor... where is yours? Working still don't have meh?" Need I say more. sigh..... Right after they decided the itinerary for Xmas day itself. To attend Mass in the morning; check. To eat leftover food from Xmas eve's dinner for lunch; not so check wtf. To have dinner at Seafood Restaurant, Lala Chong; BYE BYE!!!

25th December 2008, Thursday
Went to Mass at CDM in the morning. After that, didn't eat lunch at Grandma's place but asked R out for lunch. Had japanese at Rakuzen. Wasn't really Christmacy either but fulfilling. Beef Sukiyaki kampai wtf. R also burnt me 2 CDs which I am so addicted to right now, especially to Robin Thicke. After listening I tried to sing like him but failed miserably.Still I will not stop wtf. You're my baby, ohh baby.. you're my sweet sweet love oh baby.... After lunch we hang out at Starbucks, Pavillion trying to spot for eye candies. Quite fun sipping espresso frap, looking around and smoke. He did, I didn't =P. As for dinner, we had nothing to do so ended up going to Neway Karaoke. 2 people sing like mad from 6.00-10.30. Unfortunately no Robin Thicke. damn... or else I could have done my sweet sweet baby version.... and R would probably keep bleeding...keep keep bleeding wtf. After that went back home, shower and drank coffee. It was a great day. "You're my baby.. sweet baby..." I think somebody has to stop me now.....Need I say more?

26th December 2008, Friday
Didn't have any plans today. Ate nasi kandar for lunch while watching Ugly Betty and wasted time until late in the evening. Had dinner with college mates at Tony Romas. It was nice to catch up with them i guess. Need I say more?

27th December 2008, Saturday
Brought family to the famous Hong Kong dim sum restaurant at DJ for breakfast. They really enjoyed it but not as much as the cashier. So expensive! After that went back home, continued sleeping until evening and had Spicy Soup steamboat with Py at Timesquare. Didn't taste as good as the last time but we had a great time. After dinner we watched IP Man. Donnie Yen is still as good as ever. This time, funny too! Py and I sparred a little Wing Chun and obviously I won. However, I was forced to succumb in signing a marriage agreement with her if she's not married by the time she turns 30. Oh well, it's a win win situation anyway. Need I say more?

28th December 2008, Sunday
Cw came back from Aus! I took him to Pavillion and we had lunch at Madam Kwan. Funny since I couldn't find anything I like there, I ended up eating chicken chop wtf. After that we just hang around Pavillion window shopping. Tried to get seats at Starbucks but it was full. Dammit! Was using my evil-persuasive-power wtf to make him buy something from Pavillion but failed. Didn't give up and finally made him buy an external hard drive from Low Yat. Perseverance pays :) He also used his power by asking me to go over to Aus and work in Melb. I shut him up by asking him to bring me over as his domestic partner to get my PR status. He wasn't going to marry his gf for the next 2 years anyway. Need I say more?

29th December 2008, Monday
Waking up was a bitch today. The moment I opened my eyes I remembered today's the day I return to Kuantan. sigh....... didn't wanna go out for lunch because I know by the time I get back I'll have to leave already. So just stayed in and ordered pizza. Somehow waiting for 45 minutes prolongs the time wtf. Pathetic I know. After lunch packed my stuff and depart...... Now I'm here blogging about my entire week feeling homesick. Only 3 weeks more to go before I leave for Penang. Pray I won't miss home as much as now. Pray even harder that I won't eat too much and get fat in Penang.

Need I say more?

A Terriggible Dae

Ok.... usually I won't blog on a weekday because I'm just too lazy and tired wtf. Today I'm still lazy and tired but I have to write this down to remind myself how wrong a day could go and to console myself if I ever experience a shitty day like this in future.

Ate spicy fried rice with beer and slept so late due to webcam and chatting.
Also didn't shit that day (why am I telling all this...wtf)
Woke up the next morning with a really bad tummy ache.
Before shower stomach pain like mad but just cannot shit.
After I got dressed and prepare to go to work.... then I felt like shitting superwtf. I think my stomach hates me for eating too much spicy food.
When I'm finally done with shitting the electricity went out. Autogate cannot open. Car cannot go out. I'm stuck.
Called the landlord and he told me the key's in the drawer. Found it but it isn't the right one. Called landlord again but he insisted that that is the key.
Gave up and asked my colleague to pick me up. No car... cannot work.
Then retailer called saying his shop got broke into and wanted me to go over. How??
After that landlord called and asked me to go back. He had the key with him all the while. Fck! Gonna give him eat spicy fried rice soon!

*Don't know why I'm getting angrier as I am continue writing this wtf*

Finally got my car and visited the retailer. Reach there only found out I couldn't help much since the insurance people are from Selangor and it's a public holiday there. Retailer somemore not appreciative and even asked me why I don't know. I'm so gonna feed him with spicy fried rice!
Then gotta finish tomorrow's work because I'm sending my car for puspacom inspection.
Drove so far but the shops were closed. Still in Raya Haji mood apparently. So I'm planning to serve all the shop owners with spicy fried rice when they get back. Raya Haji somemore la....

In the end, I went back without accomplishing anything.

Still have to send my car tomorrow but work not done. How?

It's the spicy fried rice I tell ya....... not the beer.

......a happy 2 minutes........

I opened the door and you smiled....
It's been a so long since we last meet but I still feel nervous when standing next to you....
Nervous but strangely comfortable...
You started coming closer..... and closer..... my heartbeat got faster.... and faster...
The feeling I've been searching all along........
I closed my eyes and...........

~~beep beep beep~~
....... damn alarm clock........ oh well, another day of work.....

sigh......
