Me, The All-Time Desultory

My sweat glands are resting for too long, my legs are itching, there is a calling knocking on my head saying :"hey you! get involved with your all-time beloved badminton games!".

I stop playing since I shifted from OUG to BU. It would be too much of a trouble to drive all the way to Sri Petaling or Old Klang Road for a good game. Imagining the traffic, I never give a second thought.

I do enjoy teaching combat, but I love badminton even more, miss it very badly. Upon shifting, I've given away my racquet and thrown off my shoes. Silly move but people made mistakes.

Internet and google is few of the best creation in the world. By chance, I found out there is a Community hall near where I stay and hence I decided to give it a shot there, or at least, making some enquiry on the booking hours and charges.

Less than 5 minutes after the thought, I found myself standing at the entrance of the badminton hall. There is 4 rubber courts , all occupied and looking impressive.

Standing still watching all the players in the hall, I was observing pretty carefully on the movements of every players from every groups. Another 5 minutes has lapsed. I can't wait but to reach the counter for further information. To my disappointment, booking courts at night could be difficult.

Apparently there is some monopoly in the booking system and people actually makes their way to MBPJ for 1-month-in-advance session only to find that courts are unavailable. The guy in charge in the badminton equipment store next to the court suggested I join the Court 4 group as they are regular for the game. I approached Uncle Kesh for it and he invited I joined them on the spot. I thought it would be good if they can see if I manage to fit in the group as it was never my intention to bring down the standard of the game. Being me, I paid for a pair of shoes and start playing!

handsome pair, no? he makes my night!

I truly enjoyed every bit of the games. 4 double games I've played consecutively. Not too bad considering I haven't been exercising for awhile:) They asked if I'm interested to join them on regular basis. A big YESHH from me and I go home more than satisfied.

I love Pink’s music, it has got real attitude element in it. Daniel Powter rocks and Kelly Clarkson has impressive voice. But there is this “Descendent of Dragon” – Wang Lee Hom, a Taiwanese born American who has, over the years gained significant recognition in Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and throughout Southeast Asia.

I wasn’t so impressed by this artist until his effort in venturing and exploring new sounds and voices became more noticeable at the point he introduced his “Chinked-Out” musics to the world. The emphasis of such revolves around the heavy influence of traditional Chinese music. Earlier, he stressed the mainstream of R&B and Hip Hop; later he incorporated the traditional Chinese aboriginal music, Beijing Opera and ‘Kun Qu’ into the earlier. The fusion is marvelous and 盖世英雄 is a classic piece to me. (Coolness I tell ya!) And the evolution begins.

Next launch the “Change Me” album. With the belief of how little changes from us can affect the world, the album aims to promote environmental awareness. “Falling Leaf Returns to Root”, according to him, is an inspiration from his portrayal of Kuang Yumin in the film, Lust, Caution. The accompanies of violin and piano solo never fail to stir my much-suppressed miss-home feeling.

The latest album, “Heartbeat” keeps my Ipod very busy and distracted me from work quite abit. I’m amazed by how he can sing a single word-“偶” for close to 20 seconds yet gives a satisfying touch to the finish. Check it out and you will understand what I’m saying. No doubt, 玩偶 becomes one of my favorite pick. A friend conquered to my praise of 我完全沒有任何理由理你, the common in people with short hair and love exercise, eh? Or we both carry the same 切!切!我根本不屑! attitude wherever we go? Anyway, plenty of electric guitar, I’m more than happy with this release.

Little did one know that the maker of the above few masterpiece began learning Mandrin at the age of 18. Reminds me determination takes us real far. I can’t help but respect the perseverance and faith he holds in blooming the Chinese music industry.

Salute to this ever-devoted artist and I conquer with him , 华人万岁!!

Awaiting his concert on May 2, 2009 in Bukit Jalil~~

All of the above at one buy, thanks to L and my greed!

If I'm not mistaken, there is only 2 RT in town, one in Taman Desa, another in Subang. The pricing is fairly reasonable worthing every bites. I rank it number one Pastry House in town . Of course I can't resist but to fill up the trays, heading home feeling bliss.

A friend once approached them for franchise purpose but they refused, I seriously wonder why.

Towards the later part of the day, my sis came home with 3 more...

I'm sure we will have a memorable pastry feast tonight wuahaha!

It was 11:55pm March 3, when I received the call from my sweetie boy aka my bro, Yang, from hometown wishing me happy birthday. He said he may not get through on 12am, hence tried 5 minutes earlier, smart leh?!? That's for sure, same family, same gene, hence the existence of us all, the LIM-with-wisdom family hiak hiak

After awhile I spoke to mydad on the phone and realised gal actually texted at 11:05pm, sleeping beauty, eh? It was 15minutes past 3am when I got home. Of course I skipped my shower crashing into the blanket dreaming of getting skin infection due to giving the shower a miss,. Guess what, I was evil enough to dream of such being a contagious disease and hence gal got it too! wuahaha...The buzzing of smses and calls accompanies me at sleep throughout the night up till noon.

Except for the later part of the day where camera speaks, I briefly recollect I was exhausted after binging on much dishes served with curry and chicken. The movie later on was slow but cool. I love the line and scene of one who claimed that he was being stroke by ligtening for 7 times in his life, pretty entertaining. The sad bit being, we all are aging, people near us are leaving...The thought of getting old, being helpless, skin sagging, face with wrinkles, slower movement, etc painful as it may sound, bothers me hell alot for a moment. My close ones or myself may leave this beautiful world, say in another 30-50year-time, where next? Reincarnation? A friend jokingly tell me, i need to finish all my food left uneaten in my entire life before I get to reborn. Tough mission, guess chances to reborn is slim for me, sigh! But then again, I fear the reborn takes me to life of a slave, a buffalo, a beggar, a cockroach...fuck!! what the hell is wrong with me right now...Excuse me, I'm a lilz tired and life goes on! haa!

A friend claimed chocolates help distress hence presented me with a bag of them. If I remember correctly, it works ONLY upon one taking a truck worth of chocolates. My next fear is, I could be hell distress when my weight shoot up consuming them all. Hm....big thanks for your companies if you are reading this. By the way, do I look like I'm starving to you, all time? The cheesecake was superb hehe

Some old buddies wanted to catchup for lunch, at least it was what I thought it is gonna be and hence I went with my sleepyhead. Thanks for the surprise folks, I enjoy the entire session, muakssss.

Sadly, I have class to attend tonight and had skipped the earlier part. The guilt stroke and warned I better get my ass there. I did. The part-timer goes :"I'm impressed you are here!". How sarcastic! Since mysis was planning a dinner, how could I say no. This is my first time celebrating b-day with her. We picked The Ship, in Uptown, when class ended.

The monkey bit of me can't wait but to peep into the present from gal. I love them, thanks sweetie.

me posting with the gifts

Escargot was served first, followed by the shark-fin soup. I find the Escargot abit too garlic-ish while mysis claimed the soup wasn't as tastier.

Cheesy Escargot

my all-time favourite, not sure is it the cheese or the snail

gal's recommendation - shark fin & crab meat soup

Main course arrived. My steak is tender, roasted to perfection but the sauce was so-so. Er...anything else in the plate besides the meat are tasteless. *My sis 'sour' face says it all!* Gal's looked freaking good but look can be very deceiving. She barely finished the chicken. Her dish was superb oily...yuckkkkssss on her behalf. I assume you renounce your entitlement to be reborn? Glad you did enjoy the 'golden pillow' next to the chicken.

Roasted Rack Lamb - not the same pic I see on the menu wor...

Don't ever order or you will regret your whole life!!

aiyoyo...the effect of bland brocolli on gal's face

Despite all the above, I enjoyed my food, and I always do. No?

That bit inside is butter aka oil, awful to the max! cheese will be a good replacement

The leftover

Just how did they come to the sense of 86cents?huh?!huh?!

Bill came up to a lilz over RM100. Ironically, the 2 skyjuices cost 86cents. We were like what the H#CK?!!? Then again, I appreciate the treat, gal, mucksssss!

Phew...and lastyly, to a friend who is bornt on the same day, month and year, Happy Birthday! May health, bliss and happiness always be yours.

While mysis is downstair, Chico in my arm...thing like this does happen...

Chico in bag

I'm luvin it!

Amos, mai jealous!

ee..Boey leh??!

tai mat yeh jiekk??

Oppsss...I'm falling into the bag...!!!

gao meng arkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!

Am I not cute hehe

Can I come out already??sob sob...

Thanks to a friend of mine, I finally able to locate the place selling crab burger. You hear me right, it is Crab meat, patty is home-made. I have been wanting to check out this burger place some time ago but I doubt my sense of direction is sufficiently fine to get me there. The only burger stall available daytime. If you ever a craving at 3pm, this is a good choice.

Deng Deng Deng Deng!!! Here is how it looks like. The patty is sandwiched between two rightly pan-fried bun, abit of cucumber and chili sauce in between, looking simple but delicious. I'm sure it will taste better with more vege and mayo *drool drool*

We bought two of it and wallop one in barely a minute upon getting into the car and heading for Pan mee and grilled fish. The other one, of course for my jiejie. You know what's the ending of burger B? Check this out --> http://iampoodleaddict.blogspot.com/2009/03/doremi-q-up-for-food.html

hmm...reminds me of this same friend who has completely NO pride when comes to food. Also, one who called me a DOG in less than a week I know him. He self-claimed a writer for food column in papers and some low profile leading expert in xxx area. I doubt and he said if he were to produce his work, I have to eat them all alive...I go, "Who cares??!!". All that I know is, he can be quite an expert in his choice of food.

An interesting friend, whom I guess lies half of the time but good fun chap to hang out with. His ability to make you laugh off your stomach falling from chair is remarkable. We clicks upon me calling him loudao, and thereon, I have ample supplies of food and drinks. Kao yok pao, curry puff, egg tarts, siew pao, chili pan mee, pork noodles and the recent one...Marks & Spencer cookies. Yummmmm.....!

Glad to be friend, loudao. And thanks for some good motivation on my career direction and all the good foods. I did spread on your reborn-food theory but no one seems to agree! As for the 蚂蚁推大树, I still think elephant meat isn't to the ants' liking, cheers!
