As The World Turns

So KL trip part 2

Whilst waiting for my train home at KL monday night, I was hanging out with a buddy Boon from KL at the Starbucks and hoping my all-time favourite rock climbing baker in the whole world will turn up. It was about 7ish and with the notorious KL traffic I wasn't too hopeful, but suddenly I had a call on my mobile! It was May! she had made it after all!

So after giving directions, this Starbucks is really well hidden, I finally spotted this gorgeous female walking towards us and amazing how pics of her you see on her blog hits home and truth be told, the pics don't do her justice, (LB gonna snatch your cooking and maldives buddy away from ya soon! :P) very pretty lah this lady.

So I blushingly greeted her and she is just as bubbly as might have imagined. .

The rest of the night went right by really quickly, so much so I have trouble trying to put everything in words here. (yeah right, muz remember might have G rated readers here and big brother oso watching :P) but needless to say, I really appreciate Boon and May for making time to catch up with me and from the bottom of my heart a hearfelt thanks. I just wish we had more time for a more leisurely chat but my train called..darn

I oso got a peek at her new Dell and I wan!!! now gotta work harder :(

So may another date soon yah? :P cos I owe you a dinner!!!!
So flabbagasted at meeting you I forgot we hadn't eaten! paiseh

JB only 1 part...

This morning, I took out my passport for yet another trip back into Malaysia.Johor Bahru to be exact, my my what development


This time I had an appointment with my eye doctor. About a year ago, I had my eyes surgically lasered for the Fatt Hou look, no more glasses!! no more contact lenses!!! (btw contacts are bad for your eyes, I should know, I used to sell and teach people how to fit them.)

So a year ago, my power was moderately myopic.


Now a year later, its at Plano!!! (i.e. Zero degree, with a slight bit of astigmatism in the right eye), wayyyyyy better than I expected as post operatively it had been hovering at about +75 for each eye. Yippee! but sadly like Lance Armstrong said, I can't argue with my birth certificate, so I have a leettle teensy weensy bit of problem with reading near these days but's its still livable, now I can really look like a grandad these days when I wear my reading (!) glasses. But overall I'm, pretty happy with the results. Somemore the clinic has a lifetime warranty...yay.... but only if I don't poke myself in the eye ...


Then after this, I walked around City Plaza, then I spotted this cutest of gadgets, its a rocking horse chair! its designed to mimic the actions of when you sit on a horse and you need to control your waist to stop the moving around and therefore you get a slimmer tummy as your muscles tighten up, so you have a slimmer waistline....... whew what a spiel, aiyah just just diet and save a bundle, but the lenghts people to will go to avoid exercise! but then again, if you use this, you WILL exercise anyway! if not you'll fall off the horse! LOL


But the best part of the day was yet to come. After nefariously conspiring with one particular JB Rooster, following whispered directions I ended up near the New York Hotel admiring the various car washes available and cursing Lake Louise for not having one (damn the washes here got makan, drink and architecture to admire somemore, like will it fall over???)


Then I spotted the Hansum comb of Cocka Doodle, walking towards the makan place, "Oi, I called out, despite never having seen the Cock before, but somehow I had a gut instinct it was him (that and his ohh so manly moustache, thanks to his personal voodoo doll). So the distinguished Rooster turned around and yah boy! Its Him, its Him!!!

So we sauntered over to this really really really lovely place in the middle of JB, alamak I thought I was in Thailand but I WAS in Thailand, this was a Thai restaurant! Damn shiok, even if we don't eat, I admire the place happi liao




waaaaahhhhh that elephant is taking a pee


We had a lovely time talking cock and how I may have inadvertendly moved to the wrong country, Canada has no outdoor eating places!!!! Just two guys, thai food and a beer ahhhhhh this is what holidays are all about....

We had a great time chowing down Thai food and beer;

Got Pineapple rice, special Thai Otah


Thai Chilli fish, Pandan Chicken and Tang Hoon prawns. Yummy!!!!


We had a rip roaring time, chowing down and Cocka it was great meeting you!!! Thanks a bunch for catching up, you have to swing by Canada sometime.

Then on way home, on the MRT, I had a nice reminder of the Singapore National Pastime, texting!! plus a few nice ladies to admire.


And I swung by someone's workplace, sorta


For Simple American, a scene of our famous goverment flats otherwise known as HDB pigeon holes, darn couldn't get pics of the hanging flags.....


But.....Damn even in Singapore, my squirrelly pals are following me around.... a Starhub cable tv ad poster...
