Can be quite a memorable experience, especially when you're at his turf (which is Muar, in case you didn't know), because: There will be more dishes than the number of people at the table, 5 of us and 7 of them which amazingly, we were able to finish everything. Seen here are otak-otak, some fried fish which was pretty thin hence very crunchy, stir fried vegetable, oh jien (fried concoction of

A round of about 20 minutes jog on straight, uphill and downhill paths followed by sessions of informal (no court, no net, no rules) badminton in Bandar Tasik Permaisuri, playing with: i. Jacklyn's younger sister who wasn't willing to move much ii. Jacklyn's youngest sister who spent lots of time picking up the shuttle iii. Jacklyn who ordered me to navigate the shuttle towards her iv.

Almost a Smiley Face is made of uneaten plain, white rice, two slices of cucumber and flattened crumbs from fried butter crabs/prawns (Lai Yau). Because the waiting period between you finishing dinner (especially if you're a fast eater like me) and everyone finally leaving the table can be quite lengthy and boring at times. It can either be viewed as a creative masterpiece or a complete nuisance,

Another mail simply entitled What Are Malaysian Roads Used For, A Guide For Expatriate Drivers in Malaysia by Mr. David Astley, a British guy now living in KL. I may not know this guy in person but still, I would really like to congratulate Mr.Astley for coming up with this awesome guide, some of the scenarios took the words right out of my mouth.

For the place that we shall call a home of our own to be completed. The images you see below were taken some weeks back because of late, we lack the enthusiasm to visit the site as frequent as we used to. Just a little too far and a little too slow (on the progress) I reckon. On the latter, it can be pretty disappointing at times seeing almost the same thing each passing week/month. Now we're

So, the trusted old PC that has been with me since Uni and has also gone through multiple upgrades (hardware and software) decided to throw a fit at me again. Nothing that I've tried so far produced any encouraging results and all the "symptoms" are directing towards the possibility of a crashed hard disk.I'm starting to get really worried, there's tonnes of images stored and losing them would be

Finally had the opportunity to meet up with Oatie over dinner after an infinity of misses and postpones, I think the last time I met her was way back in August, 2006 (wedding dinner's an exemption because I only got to say Hi, Eat More & Have Fun). Jacklyn tagged along because her initial dinner kaki, couldn't make it in the last minute.Anyway, of late, Jacklyn seems to be really addicted to

Was dragged out of bed early in the morning by Jacklyn to attend some Make Your Own Sausage Bun class somewhere in Mont Kiara. The class's supposed to be a Father's Day thingy, for parents and their children to bond and all that. I do not recall how she managed to persuade me to attend such an event, it was supposed to be her father instead initially.But I recall her father rejecting and saying

On our way back to the hotel, Jacklyn still reeling in happiness from the Disneyland trip. Dinner with Pete and Debbie.

The fireworks display starts around 8pm (2000 hours) and must not be missed no matter what. It made the trip to Disneyland worthwhile and almost magical (must be all those songs)Its so pretty that at times, I would be totally fascinated and forgot to take photos, again, must be all those songs that accompanied the displayThe fireworks display lasted much, much longer than initially

Almost suffered a heart attack on the mini roller-coaster like space travel thingy ride which was indoor in Tomorrowland. Nauseating would actually be a more proper representation of the ride. The interactive cineplex featuring Stitch was pretty entertaining because jokes in Canto always are/never fails.The carousel during night time, pretty dark and gloomy if you ask me.

Well, instead of strolling around keeping my eyes pried wide open hunting for TVB celebrities like I did the last time, we were at Lan Kwai Fong with a purpose this time around, to have fun and get pissed drunk woohoo! Uhrm, I did scanned around from time to time, just in case lady luck decided to drop by but sadly, that did not seem to be the case. TVB celebrity sightings = negative 5, sigh.When

Took a bus from Tai O to Mui Wo before boarding the ferry back to Chung Wan. Journey on the bus was akin a roller coaster ride - it was constantly speeding up slopes, speeding down slopes and negotiating corners on high speed. The ferry ride was an exact opposite, your destination looks so near but is yet, still so far.Taken at ISO 1600 on a Canon 400D at slow shutter speed on board a ferry hence

First stop, some Tau Foo Fa (a dessert made of soybeans) which was supposed to be cold like ice-cream but turned out to be half cold half warm due to shortage of refrigerated ones.
