An official group meeting

Peace and quiet in the house after all 25 episodes of Rosy Business have been consumed. Had the usual Sunday brekkie and tapau lunch. Soon it was going to be 1pm but then it turned out to be 2pm till 1630. Committed to volunteer. Horror stories of floating parquets. Anyday soon it will pop. Very early dinner of mee hoons and cantonese char. Gave 31st BR a miss due to inconvenient venues and timing. Sugar rushed and was knocked out cold for 3 hours. Gotta wait for the next 31st then. Watched Doubt. I was totally enthralled until I didn't know that it has reached the end.

Fat goose leg

Breakfast at 1030 and lunch at 1130. One quarter down south of WK is fat and 40 going 55-1. Is the tee for one 3 or two 4? Going down the slope at 190-80 per hour. Lights and sounds everywhere.

Garbage truck came early

Didn't manage to get the car out in time. Caught the last bit of Midsomer Murders episode "Blood Wedding" (Season 11, Episode 2). Exchanged 4 faded notes with 5 slices of Ma Lai Kou. Not as bad as I thought.

Yucky taste!

Taste buds getting more sensitive? The fish slices amongst the ginger and spring onions have a slight off putting fishy taste and the marmite sauce could hardly masked the porky taste of the meat. Thumbs down for dinner and the flies. Someone had a baby so the plan was postponed. Got a trim around the ears and back. Watched Madagascar 1 and 2 (Escape to Africa). Finished the last batch of the barleys.

A complicated village

Round and round we go until we were so tired so the whole gang had to drink some nice soup 15 to boost our energy. Added a code 30 to it too. Reached an almost abandoned site so everyone called everyone else Dai So. Got it at last for 129 + 10 and safely stored away until the big day. Dinner at M's.

Just go tall mountain

Meat for lunch and cake for dinner. Toilet was washed and laundry was done. Finally the papers were not floating anymore.

Someway repay Apr-Aug

Busy day driving up, down and center until one would have thought we'll end up in the pyramids of Egypt or down in the sweet sea too. Bought a 1 kg cake for 40. Still doing bar modeling. Movie of the night was "Minority Report" while exchanging some minoring.

Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Malacca day trip

The day started early with a morning call at 4.40am. Was picked up at about 6am and had a toilet stop at Ayer Keroh at about 7.15am. Then it was Groundhog Day before we located Siang Chiang @ Jalan Munshi Abdullah and took our breakfast of toast and half boiled eggs with a cup of coffee and a glass of barley drink (RM5.40). Didn't order the "must-have" mee suah but ate char keoy teow instead (RM3). We were charged RM1 parking fees by a man we assumed to be from the coffeeshop. We then passed by the dim sum shop we were looking for but did not stop to eat there as we intended to eat chicken rice instead.

We managed to park along Jonker Walk as it was still early (parking fees not required at Jonker Walk for Sunday and public holidays according to a signboard). Walked to Hoe Kee and ordered chicken rice for 3 pax. We were served 20 rice balls and a plate of chicken. The bill came up to RM17.20 (RM4 for the rice, RM12 for the chicken, RM1.20 for the drink). I find it difficult to walk around the area as there was no sidewalk and there was a constant stream of buses and cars passing through the narrow street.

We then went to Jonker Dessert 88 and had 3 bowls of chendol (Chendol RM1.70, Eight Precious Chendol RM3.0 and Sago Chendol RM4.0). Only two tables were unoccupied and I chose the table at the back of the shop as the other table was in the inner courtyard and I wouldn't want bombs from birds to land in my bowl. It was a mistake as our nose soon found out. The foul smell from the toilet at the back of the shop made it impossible for me to finish eating my bowl of chendol so I left more than half a bowl uneaten. It was a most unpleasant experience. Should have taken the bowl and finished eating the chendol by standing outside the shop. Anyway I do not like the taste of the "Gula Malacca" (palm sugar or red sugar) used in the chendol. It taste just like Gula Malacca Coconut candy I used to eat when young.

It was too hot to continue walking so we escaped to Mahkota Parade (RM2 parking for 3 hours and RM1.50 for each hour thereafter). Ate 3 slices of cakes (RM6.3 each) at Secret Recipe while we were there - Black Forest, Choc Banana, Choc Strawberry (taste too much like strawberry jam for my liking). We left Malacca at 2pm and reached home by 4pm. The journey home was hot and arduous. 300km in total.

Elusive story

Bought choc raisins bread 4 and banana 420 of 38. Onset of nerves attack after stuffing my face with bread so just had a few sticks of satay for dinner. Did a round trip to be dropped off. Slept only at about 0400 for something that I vaguely remember.

Mother's day comes early

No time to stop for bread at 945. Just caught a bite at 11 with 2 mini dog buns 1.3e and 1 topped chic mayo bun 1e. Easy to say goodbye and the nerve to account for it too. Met a few aunties, ea and fm. 1155:133(2323); 143:15; 154:162(25174:974); 17(8ls9+1hm+c=12t). Changed in suit and fired off. Movie night: 27 dresses - light and fun just nice for the wifey.

Easy soon gone

Plan called off. Sent chaser after chaser until it is done at 120 and lunch at yms at 8. Started the second wave. Spontaneity is the way to go.




Tuesday, May 5, 2009

Admitted again

The workers went on a hunger strike until it was admitted and COD WAW was forgotten at 120. Met Bak Chang and LMS at 3jc. Bought Sata 35, DVD writer 80, and 12 Discs 1990 which were all very well.


Monday, May 4, 2009

Oh no, it died again

Two times chicken today. Must be watched over. Kitchen is 90% done outwardly. CR+M=16:17 due to around 9 bags given away. Scrabbling away. Plans cancelled so work can slow down again. Having withdrawal symptoms again. Went walking and source is 12 o'clock.

Theme is nothing

No place to park so went to another shop. Didn't like it there. Too many things until I spin around and overshot a bit so for 4 it was 4+2.50 and we drank lots of sweet juices. Pacman turned up and ransacked the kitchen for biscuits, milo, duck noodle, gruel after clearing the top near the microwave. Was accused of hiding some prawns behind some stones for the bird who wants to fly south soon alongside my van. Got news about 5.10 ceremony. Black Lagoon is a goner too.


Saturday, May 2, 2009

Chicken fly my way

Woke up at noon and washed chopsticks to use for lunch. Ate half a watermelon. Taste like milk. Was told no free delivery above xxx order. Half set 20.9 and an individual quarter 9.9 plus 2 delivery and 5% tax totals up to 34.35 so WB+SH=13.45+14.30 and planning, planning, planning. Done with Red Alert.

Blind spot and what not

Overtake, safe distance, silent passenger ruling, tact are all choices in life. Last minute cancellation saved the day.
