So many new sky bars, but so much haze!

Wednesday, Jul 29, 2009 11:21PM / Members only

It's been a fucking long while since I've posted a blog via AnD, and I'm pretty sure by now that the few people I know here have moved on to greener pastures - i.e. more interesting blogs. Hehe..

Anyways, as usual there will be quite a lot of pics in this post. You know... I'm becoming an old guy and my memory is starting to fail me. Seriously! And to make things worse, I have access to all these digital organizers and stuff from work but I'm hopeless when it comes to sorting out a schedule. Hahahaha! Fucking fail la...

Speaking of feeling old, my back pain is being a bastard and has come back to haunt me occasionally. When I sit or walk around it's OK, but the pain always comes and sticks when I'm standing still. It's damn fucking annoyiing man. Imagine me talking to a client, colleague, friend, boss and I cant stand the pain. I need to wiggle around or hop about a bit or do a squat to "adjust" the pain... Look like a bloody idiot rite?

Haih... oh well... Lets get on before I start anothher rant. I thought that I'd do this one in reverse order, so if you're feeling dizzy, read from the bottom up. I doubt the paragraphs would make any sense if read that way tho...

Tri-force!

Say hello to Mr. Triforce. Tripple barrell jet burning power mother fucker! Needless to say, I love this thing to death.

Beer for breakfast.

OK. It may be beer for breakfast, but technically it was consumed in the afternoon.

Sure. Like that'll hold up in a court of law. Yes, I admit that is indeed beer, and yes it was the first form of liquid that I consumed upon waking up last Saturday. Shocking? Disgusting? Crazy? Ugh. I don't know. It was the weekends. I wanted to do it Mat Salleh style!

Trying to loose weight.

I'm a fat bastard. Anyone who's met me knows that, and anyone who hasn't, knows that now. I'm big boned, sure, but I'm also a big fat fuck. I hate it. I really do. That's why I've been trying - and I emphasize on the word "trying" - to loose weight in anyway that I can.

I started eating less (relatively less), exercising more (anything more than 0 is an improvement), and drinking less. Way fucking less drinking, that's for sure!

I did start to loose a few buldges here and there, but the thing is, about two weeks ago I had a relapse. I started binge eating, happy houring and suppering. I'd have lunch, dinner, and supper washed down with a beer. Or two. Or six.

FUCK! RELAPSE! DAMN IT!

The Set B Bento.

Once every now and then, I swing by Sri Hartamas for lunch with my buddy Kenny. We absolutely fucking love this Japanese joint called Sugimoto because they have the fucking tastiest bento boxes in the world. OK. Maybe not the world, but in that price bracket.

There's over 30 items to choose from and your bento box also includes a bowl of garlic fried rice, that egg thingy (I think its called cawan mushi or something), the bento box, and a bowl of miso soup. Set A gets you two dish choices and Set B gives you three.

The best part is..... 2x Set B + free flow ice green tea costs less than RM50! FUCKING VALUE RITE?! OK. Maybe RM20++ is a little rich for lunch, but this is in an expensive joint that usually charges RM49++ for an unagi bento alone when ordered off ala carte.

Bla bla bla, yada yada yada. Forget trying to justify it. Once in a while, we must treat ourselves also rite? Hehehe...

Favorite combo for Set B:
1) Unagi
2) Sashimi
3) Grilled salmon head

Notable dishes:
1) Chicken teppenyaki
2) Sushi

Blacklist:
1) Smelt fish

P1's Sky Garden!

Last week, P1 W1MAX hosted a media get together in their office. But before you go "WTF? OFFICE?", the invites stated that the venue was on P1's office rooftop!

I got to tell you, the roof top is fucking awesome! I love it so much. Basically, they renovated the roof of their building and installed fountains, a bar, tables, a bbq pit and lots of plants. The roof really looks like a garden, but the view is phenomenal!

From the roof top you can see beautiful sunset as well as the surrounding PJ skyline.

Here's another view when it got darker.

That night we had karaoke competition, free flow of beer and a bbq buffet dinner! I really had a good time there and hung out with some of my good friends from work. Lokgotz, scamboy, nigel and a couple of other folks were there and we all had some good laughs since we participated in the competition.

I did a mellow rendition of She Bangs with scamboy, and I totally destroyed Bohemian Raphsody. So embarrasing! But at the end of the night, I walked home with RM200 of Jusco cupons! HAHAHAHA!!!!

Ripped.

After a year and a half of almost daily wear and tear, my trusty pair of Levis 512 has been torn. The tear happened just above the knee and I swear to god that this has never happened to me before. Believe it or not, I'm a jean tear virgin! Yes I have torn jeans, but those are only torn at the bottom part cos I didn't fold them up. But a tear just above the knee. That is unheard of! WOO HOO!

Contemplating sending it in for repair, but I wanna use gold dyed denim underneath the tear. You know la... "Inspired" by the Levis kzklot Gold ma....

Cheezy Suckerony.

The dish above doesn't look very apitizing does it? NO IT DOESNT. LOOKS LIKE SHIT! It's so shit even the food is making a sad face! KNNCCB!

This is the latest and greatest thing to sprout from KFC Malaysia. It's called Cheezy Chickeroni and it consists of macaroni, two types of cheese sauce (the kind used on cheezy wedges), and four meatballs top off the dish.

On paper it sounds edible. Fuck that. It sounds like a stoners dream meal! So of course, out of curiosity (well I am a journo by trade), I decided to try it one day. BIG FUCKING MISTAKE BUDDY! IT SUCKED!

BLACKLIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Car Entertainment.

This is my buddy's ride. It's a 3-series convertible and he's souped up the ICE system on board. I have to say, I'm fucking impressed by it! GPS, DVD, etc. Very comfortable to ride in too! I think in this picture, we were waiting for our take away from Mc Donalds. Ugh... Supper makes me fat. Supper makes me fat. Supper makes me fat.

Please excuse me while I continue chanting my mantara....

Bling Bling!

I love bling. Actually, I love retroesque bling. But who cares about that when you've got a pack of ciggies that's covered in foil! Fucking style rite!

According to the box, this is only available in Shell outlets. Marlboro got Fresh Mint? So what! Dunhill got Mint too! And it's bling bling package is damn fucking sex!!!!

Get it now while stocks last! Hahahahha!!!

Promo @ Finnegans Changkat.

Two weeks ago, Finnegans Irish Pub along Jln Sultan Ismail picked up and shifted down to Changkat Bukit Bintang! It's right next to 21, and if you don't know where that is, then it's opposite Frangipenis.

I was there on opening night and god bless them, it was a full house! Apparently Kenny told me that by 4, people were already coming in. The best part is that the taps havnt even fix in yet! HAHAHAHHA! DAMN POWER RITE!?!!

I know I should have posted this earlier, but the promo for July is RM200 for...

RM200 specials @ Finnegans, Changkat BB:
1x Black Label or 1x Jack Daniels or 1x Smirnoff Vodka

DAMN VALUE RITE?!!! Also, HAPPY HOURS ALL NIGHT LONGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!

Kenny also told me that he is instructed to install "young people music" in the pub's music system and he has enlisted my help! Damn excited about it. Better still, after we're done loading up the machine, we get to spin a set on one of the nights too! WAHAHAHHAHA!!!

If that shit goes down, you guys gotta ccome support ok! :P

Since I'm on the topic of Finnegans, I also wanna wish Finnegans Irish Pub at Desa Sri Hartamas a happy 9th anniversary! Party is on Friday but it clashes with Juice party at MOS. Will try to make both... dunno can or not leh?

Smoking Section.

Yes, those ARE sunflowers but if you're a smoker then you'll know where that location is.

Guessed?

TOO BAD! IT IS IN CHANGI AIRPORT! HAHAHHA

I've been flying down to Singapore quite frequentlly, and on my last trip I had a fucking awesome room in Fairrmont. God bless you Symantec!

Too Much Haze.

CIBAI HAZE! That's not mist. It isnt cold. It isnt refreshing.

It is haze. Smog. Smoke. Yuck!!! Hot, sticky, irritating and stuffy!! I hate haze so much it actually makes me feel guilty to smoke ciggies. That's how bad it is!

Another Skybar.

Before haze hit an all time fucked up level, I was in Changkat BB (again) witth Kenny (again) on a mission. Since Finnegans was opening soon, we wanted to scout out the competition and ended up in this Italian run joint just off the main Changkat BB stretch.

It's an awesome three story restaurant that's fucking sexy. There's an old school coffee machine downstairs, a gelato bar, and a pastry counter. It's so fucking bistro-y it's scary! On the second floor is the main sit down dinner area, while on the roof top is the sky bar!

Ok, so it's on the 3rd floor. In the middle of town. Not much of a skybar huh?

Well, think of it as a "reverse" skybar. Instead of looking at the skyline from above, you can see it from below. Changkat is circled by lots of highrises and the neon from below looks damn sexy too. Not blocked by streetlights, you can see a very different kind of night skyline. Equally, if not more, sexy when compared with seeing from above!

Well, that about wraps up my June/July for now. There's a whole ton of shit more to update you all about, but I'll do it soon.

I promise!

Reminiscing the days

Ok so the title may make this sound like an emo post, but in truth it isn’t. I was just thinking about how blogging has changed so much since I first started doing it. I used to read Nael’s blog diligently. I followed goosehump’s too, as well as r0melz’. I got to know teddybwear due to our mutual blog stalking habbits, and I used to call my web persona ‘goodboy’. How’s that for a LOL? I also assumed other online identities, some of which have put me on a fast track to friendship with people I have met IRL (holler for CHMY!).

I guess in essence, things haven’t really changed that much. Just the settings that we see them in have changed with time. CMS platforms like Blogger and Wordpress were ‘difficult’ to install. Instead we coded/wrote in HTML and upload entire index.htm files via FTP. We weren’t all HTML wizards either - Whir coded awesome tables, Nael and TSD had excellent writting skills, and I… well, I was a mixed pot. Random says it best. Then again, that hasn’t changed either. Hmm…
