Funny how you can be affected SO EASILY by the LAZY BUG..

I have been pretty relaxed in the office these 2 days, mainly because there's nothing much to do. The calm before the high tide - have to head to Lumut on Thursday morning.
Anyway, a picture recap on what's been going on. 

The missus bought a Groupon on Crafts Brew - a meat platter for 4. 

My thoughts on this: Simply if it wasn't accompanied by their brew, this meal would have been worst! Do not like the taste of their meat, but then again, this kind of food is meant to be served with alcohol, to numb your taste senses I'd guess. Anyway, should give it a try, it was my first time to Craft Brews.

The missus's iPhone 4 - cracked LCD screen. Asked around for help, turned out that for professional help, we had to pay RM600-700 for a screen replacement; for help from Forum Lowyat, someone could get this replaced in 2 hours for RM350.
Decided to go for Option 3. 

My impulsive instinct got me to getting another iPad. This time the model is with 3G. Now that my impulsiveness has died down, come to think of it, I can really do without 3G. But no, I cannot admit this to the missus - she would kill me!! I sold the earlier iPad away though. Now the new iPad has been upgraded to PadZai. 

Decided to call a friend for help. It was her first time replacing a screen for iPhone 4.
She was kind enough to search the entire of Low Yat to get us a Grade A iPhone LCD Screen, for RM250 and a free screen protector thrown in.
Total damage done = RM250 + RM25 (drinks on us!) + a fun-filled Sunday evening activity (4 hours).

Hate the fact that we wasted her weekend, but really amazed by her passion and patience to help us with our situation. Thanks sifu!

p/s: She's doing such free lance business, so if you guys need any help, call me!

The broken, shattered, iPhone LCD screen. 

Just had to enlarge the size of the photo for the last bit.
The missus hasn't been cooking for me, for about half a year now. We were tired of outside food, and she decided to cook something for us. Would love this anytime!!


There you go, a recount about my life for the past 2 weeks.

I've been really stressed about work lately.

But it all ends today. Everything is all well, with the cargo safely on the barge. Nothing went wrong, am just glad that it all went as planned. +1 for my experience.

When it all ended, I just wanted to go home as early as possible. I have not talked to the missus for 4 days now. Really miss her very much. On the bright side, I'm heading back to KL tomorrow. Just want to see her, really badly.

I vow to take more snap shots of my own. 

"Everyday I try to look my best,
even though inside I'm such a mess,
Why do I always feel invisible.."

Feeling a little under the weather today...

Watching demonstration against the independent film Nasi Lemak 2.0, really sparked anger inside me. Thank god I have already watched it, in the event that the Government decided to ban the film. I think the film itself was intelligently directed, to remind us about how we are unique as one, with a tinge of Malaysian humour.

The demonstrators had the nerve to say that the film had "unsur-unsur BERSIH 2.0" but aren't you demonstrating in public places yourselves? Is that not illegal too?

Even if you want to reprimand Namewee (the director), you should at least learn better words in your language, instead of calling names like "BANGSAT" and "BERSHIT". Seriously, anak-anak muda sekalian, don't even think of playing the racial card anymore because it no longer works.

We are smarter than that, being "anak muda" ourselves.

I don't really have to pretend being all patriotic about the country, because I know I'm doing this country a favour by being intelligent with my choice of words.

You know, when I'm home alone, that's the time I really don't like to go out.
Especially with the rain these days, all I did today was just stay in and do some work on the computer.

You know what growing up does to you?

(a) You become sensible, rational and responsible. You look at your arch enemy's eyes, and you forgot the reason why you two got into a fight.

(b) You become a fool. You become a part of a never-ending rat race. You make decisions you aren't proud of, worst of all, you end up all alone.

HAHA.

Would you do something way out of your league or would you prefer rotting in your comfort zone?

On Monday, both the missus and I, took sick leaves together.
No, unfortunately it was not a planned one, and we didn't make any vacation plans.
It was for real.

Wait, why is it that when I take MC, people always think that I faked the sickness?
Eh, there are certain times which I really am sick ok?
Anyway, despite me frequently "advising" people not to be on leave, but instead, take MCs; that was in fact, my 2nd MC of the entire year of me working for this company. 


I was down with a viral gastritis - according to the doctor.
Fuck it, because I had to keep running to the toilet, middle of the night. And I actually saw blood in my stool, but I thought I was just being delusional and all. So I ignored it, until after coming back from the doctor's, and googled about my symptoms, only did I knew my eyes did not deceive me, at all. 


I guess my age has finally caught up on me - I have never experienced gastric when I was younger. Remember skipping lunch back when I was in pinafore; for tuition, for school activities, etc. And now, look at me! One time late for lunch, or accidentally consumed spicy foods, I would be rolling on the floor, holding up against my tummy.

Well, Monday off was good enough for us. At least we avoided what seem to be the post-holiday traffic - believed it was really jammed on the roads. We woke up early though, to see the doctor, and to have brunch. And then went home to rest, while the missus did her work from home. Such a workaholic she is! Later in the evening, we bought tickets to watch the Smurfs - RM7.00 per ticket is bliss yo! I should probably play truant whenever I wanna watch movies. That's like RM4.00 cheaper than the normal tickets!

Then for dinner, we decided to try out "tai-chow" because she reckoned we have been spending a lot on food - and it's unnecessary.
In the end, the food came to RM28.00 - for a 2 individual meal and a vegetable dish. Pricey yo.
We also went to walk around SS2's night market which we never had the chance to do so, to avoid the jam and ended up visiting one of our favourite eyewear shop and spend RM700 for 2 pair of shades.

Speaking of money-saving. Gawd, we are hopeless.

Last Saturday, finally met up with the UTPians, after a few months. This was our 3rd Gathering, which also meant welcoming Jiamin home, and sending Aiting off to Penang.
For the rest, it was a mere catching up experience..

There's nothing much to write about, except our noise was enough to tear Alexis Bistro apart.

Still like the usual, nothing much has changed since the last gathering. Or graduation ever.

p/s: They commented the number of times I appear in the photos. Dudes and dudettes. 

Spent 9 hours in Midvalley = RM9.00 parking fee.
Lunch at Alexis', walked 10 minutes and ended up for coffee in Austin Chase, and then walked a bit more, went for dinner at the food court, and then for my own individual craving in Gong Cha.

Sorry for my mindless entry, I think I must be suffering from POST HOLIDAY syndrome!!

On a working day-eve, decided to bring the missus for a posh dinner, somewhere in Bangsar. Although I have to admit, we do splurge a lot on food, but that's how life is, right?

Quoted - Food is one of life's greatest joy!

And indeed, we are always overjoyed by the amount of food we feast on, daily.

We went to F - a Buffalo Dining Kitchen Concept, a place which has been opened for quite a while, before I noticed it on one of the tv shows. As we were walking to the said place, the missus tucked her arms around mine, and went "It's about time we paktor-ed already! It has been such a long time!"

Silly woman. 

Together we make one awesome (cute!) pair

We've been together for so long, that sometimes we have mini-fights just to get cheeky at each other.

Everytime one of us get into a mini squabble, I would quickly say, "I forgive you" and then she would go, "What the hell! I forgive you first" and then we will make up and laugh about it. 


I have not write much about my relationships lately, because I felt that sometimes having my personal life exposed too much in the public isn't doing us any good. However, I missed writing such matters because I feel that words composed by me, can be pretty beautiful. Hehhe!

Anyway, I was a little annoyed over the service in F - which permits me to say the word Fuck! with the letter F. I guess they are not used to having such large crowds during normal days, that's why we have minimal attention while patronizing the diner. 

Fusion Seafood Tomato Soup 

I was also a little irritated over the fact that the 3-way crab and the Oriental Clam Soup was out of stock when I was there. The only reason I chose F was because of the great reviews about the 2 starters. Anyway, the soup was quite as how I imagined it would be. Tomato soup with slight tinge of Tom-yam taste to it. Quite fusion indeed. 


Because of the steep price of their mains, I was a little caution about ordering the right mains for the night.
There was a review on the Black Angus steak, with a little sea salt going for RM60 for 200gms, and the practical side of me told me to hold my horses on that. However, to satisfy my craving for red meat, I decided to go for Steak and Potatoes - RM40 and well, should have just topped up RM20 and try the Black Angus instead. 

Steak and Potatoes

It turned out pretty "rare" - the way I would like my steak. Unfortunately, the meat shouldn't be that thick but then again, personal preference. I finished the entire dish anyway, clean. 

Con-fit Norwegian Salmon

Salmon was the missus' order - Salmon was nicely cooked, still a bit rare in the middle, which was awesome. Salmon should not be over-cooked because the meat gets too rough - again, personal preference. The only urgh! point was the side was fennel which taste, she did not like. 


The dinner was a healthy one, considering the way it was cooked. I would definitely return one day, for their starters, and perhaps, saved enough for the Black Angus with sea salt. :)
