Crime of the Day: Part II

They say a picture paints a thousand words...

Damansara ---> KLIA : 20mins?! *Beep Beep*

Crime of the Day

Question 1: Why do people buy a Rm250k bimmer and pimp it up with a BAMbee number plate. Fine, it wud look kinda cute on a Kancil or a Kelisa, but not a freaking continental yuppie car. Sigh, shame on u, shame on u! Anyways, I have changed the number on the plate - privacy matters obviously;)


Question 2: Cud I be plain jealous of the owner of the Bimmer just because it is on the top of my wishlist? Haha. Maybe, maybe not...

Speedy Monday!

And it was yet another early morning for me - downing a cuppa java before even hitting for the usual morning shower. Parents had to be at the airport by 10am, Damansara-2-KLIA takes 45mins, so had to leave by 9am to beat KL's mad mornin traffic rush. So, I was all up and ready by 9am.. read the morning paper twice... parents were still taking their own sweet time. Oh the usual Msian timing was starting to get on my nerves! >_<Dimsum, ohhhh, dimmmsumm! But honestly, not that great! Tastebuds were just decieved by the empty stomach of mine acidified by the mornin' coffee. Looks are seriously decieving too! Never dine in Eden people...nevaaa! So, let me enlighten you on what's stated on the bill - five dimsum dishes and a pot of chinese tea - total... *drumrolls*... Freakin RM75. Wahhlaahhhhh, sucha major conjob! Was probably more worth it to drive back down to Shangri-La, dine at ShangPalace, and bek to KLIA. Thee shall stick to coffeeshop siu-mais :)

Breakfast was over and I found myself wondering round PanPac, admiring their concrete jungles. You gotta admire their landscaping works - agreed? No?!?! I dun relli care cos I'm always right :p Haha.

Life's Progress

Life as we know it, is constantly plagued with doubts and uncertainties - most of which are beyond one's control - life in perspective, life in pure reality. Han's nick a couple of weeks back was *Life thru a tunnel*, so it was him that sparked this random rave of mine *clearly pointing my finger at him* :p Let me share with you my 20-second journey through this tunnel.

As the tunnel approaches, the mind quickly fills itself with random, senseless doubts - doubts which diminishes the ego - doubts which cloud our daily judgements - doubts which are unimportant in this lifetime anyway.

The best part then kicks in when I'm driving in the tunnel itself - suddenly the mind becomes much lighter as life's problems get blown away by the passing wind. The faster you go (although highly not recommended..hehe), the quicker these problems dissipates into the warm, thin air surrounding the inner walls of the tunnel. Taking occasional short glimpses at the rear-view mirror - problems and the past is being left behind... The trails of light serves as guidance to the upcoming path - the light which is only noticable when you focus of things ahead and above of you :)

As I hit the end of the tunnel, there's alwayz an uncontious smile on my face as I imagine that there will be much better things awaiting me in life. Better career opportunities, faster cars, pimped out villas, runway invitations, an appearance on 'Malaysian Tatler' - and the list goes on forever! Haha. In no way I'm saying that going thru tunnels quickly resolves life's current problems, BUT the sudden burst of broad daylight on the other end, what I regard as renewed optimism, is something I look forward to in the 20th second. *Breathe deeply with a glowing face*

So people, go try and tell me if this works. The longer the tunnel, the better the feeling. Like all things in life! :p

Dinner @ Bayou Timor, Mon't Kiara

After occupying three parking lots in an empty carpark of Plaza Mon't Kiara, I thanked God that we were finally here. Dinner at 10pm, who on earth does that? Haha. Just to give a glimpse of the nightlife around the area - brightly litted, excellent landscaping coupled with the presence of occasional yuppies - ahh.. can't you just feel the vibes of KL city? Tsktsk.

Bayou is the name alright! I totally fell in love with this place the first time I dined here. Great ambience + Balinese furnishing + Javanese cuisine = An overwhelmed Darren before dinner has even arrived on the table. There isn't much choices where the menu is concerned - probably 20 types of main dishes which is listed down on a single piece of paper menu-cum-tableliner. Cheapos! Haha, but hey, portions are pretty generous for sucha swanky restaurant at a prime Mon't Kiara address. Each dish also boasts its own individual and distinctive flavour - absolutely tastylicious!

Two of my current favs - Javanese Ayam Serai & Bayou Chicken and Mushroom Pie. And not forgetting ~~ COFFEE! I actually brought Tricia and IkJin here for coffee last week. Personally, I can almost guarantee that the Javanese brew is by far the best coffee I have ever tasted. Not so gung-ho about Coffee Bean anymore am I? Hehehe. Hwei, shall this be our meeting place this coming weekend? :)

GNC Protein Complex anyone?

Yes, I am sure everyone knows what this baybee does! Decided to drop by GNC to treat myself to higher quality protein shakes. Operation beefing up is currently engaged, definitely a costly one, taking into account the gym membership as well! By the way, I learnt something new today which might be of some interest to you guys out there -- in general, men need 1g of protein for every 1kg you weigh; 2g if one is bodybuilding. In my case, I ain't pulling an Arnold (strictly no man-boobs), so my recommended dosage is 1.5g for every kg I weigh. Do the maths >>> I need approximately 100g of protein/day.

Looking at the top of the tub, it says '55g per serving'. So I innocently asked the saleslady if I needed to drink two glasses per day. What I got in return was a cock-stare... followed by the ultimate question "Sir, don't you take meat everyday ar? U know ar, milk and egg also got protein u know!" Gahhhh! Immediately, the big 'L' started blinking on the top of my forehead like some neon billboard along a red light district. Malu-nyaaa. Only time will tell if this baybee will be worth the skidmark I just made on my creditcard *hmmm* :)

Dragged out for lunch!

I really thought that I could have my 12 hours worth of undisturbed sleep today. 11:30am sharp, I was rudely awaken by the sound of my mobile with my screen flashing "Mum Mobile". Gahh! Kinda got dragged out for lunch with my mum in Mon't Kiara. There's this lil cute pattiserie next to Coffee Bean which serves fusion European cuisine. My favourite there is the 'Hainanese Chicken Pie'. Fantabulous, but decided to try out their Mee Siam for lunch instead. Pretty reasonably priced as well. Didn't manage to get some snapshots of the dish I had - was snagged up rather quickly once it was laid onto the table. Muahaha! However, here's a couple of photos of the place and surrounding. As you people might know by now, I have this incredible fetish for places with palm trees. The closest I can get to Orange County (for now)!


As random as things can be, it started drizzling on the way back ! Bleh! I should probably floor the gas pedal like how Meiyin did during her Slope Test. Apologies, but I just had to spill the beans! Haha. And oh yes, I have hit the freeway, let's see what this baby can do. Vroom! Sky's turning grey by the minute and my mind was only focused on making it back home asap cos I just freakin' polished the car.

Almost home..... Suddenly, the sound of thunder. Bahhhh! Tomorrow's gonna be car wash day again!

The view of the neighbourhood. In England, weather like this often make people depressed. Haha, farkers! In KL, its just time for us to power nap, wake up in the evening and get pimped up for a Friday Nite out! It's great to be back in KL. PTL (Praise the Lord) :)

The Virgin Entry!

At last, I have actually registered myself a lil blog just to kill time as it is - before I step foot into Corporate Asia. 10 days and counting before I head on to Menara Millennium - ma new workspot. Extremely good view of the entire Damansara Heights from the top floor I would say. Woot! The only concern is parking, where am I gonna park my bleemin' still non-existent car of mine. Hmm..

And yes, this blog is probably gonna be an extension of my current website. It has been ages since I last updated that webbie of mine. It's http://junioor.tripod.com FYI. I pretty much concluded that Imperial has taken a toll on my personal life. Haha. Oh wellz, those philosophical and non-sensical rants of mine are long overdued, and it's time to spill it. Watch that space! :D
