In 3 days time, I will finally finish filling up the Facebook albums (3 in all) which shows what I had for lunch. This was my entry on 2nd February last year announcing the project : My #365 makan project It was supposed to be mostly what I eat in Malaysia. However, I went to Jakarta, Mumbai, and Kazakhstan in 2011. I included a few of the lunches I had there and I managed to

It is not really of going away with a group of friends but it was a kind of a unique holiday. All of us travel in twos or threes or with our own companion, family or friend. We arrived at the designated area. Did the one thing we have set ourselves to do, which was to celebrate the coming of the new year 2012. Did a few other stuff together, sometimes with only half of the whole group,

I have to admit, I am not sure whether I will need this service or not. However, having an option to call from foreign countries is great. I went to Kazakhstan last June and I only had the option to tweet (through Twitter) and BBM my wife for nearly 10 days as I didn't want to incur cost if I made any calls. FlexiRoam seems to be the solution for that. It is a phone call only solution

Yep, am born and raised in Malaysia where the food is always partnered with rice. There are so many type of rice and the way it is cook that there Malaysia imported from so many countries. So, in a way, it is weird for me to just get acquainted with rice. I am so not really into rice when my wife and I eat out that she would go to her mom's when she wants to really eat rice (which she always

So, Twitterjaya had a wedding over last weekend. What's so different about it from all those announcement on Twitter is that this wedding was made in Twitter nearly in total. The courting, the drama, the proposal and then the wedding itself. The wedding was between @jud9e and @ritarita_ritz. A sailor and a personal assistant extraordinaire. They met exactly a year ago, courted and then

The last time I join the festivity of making lemang, it was when I was still just a wee lad. Not wanting to let a tradition dies, I just want to observe and participate which lead to the most important event : The eating part! When my wife said that her family is going to make some lemang at her kampung in Tapah Road, during the Eid ul-Adha, I just jumped into the opportunity to join them.

Celebrated my birthday last week. A small affair like every year with just me and my wife. I don't harp about my birthday and actually hate celebrating it. However, my wife made it memorable all by herself.

@TeeAssBee on Twitter or Tuan Senang Besar on Facebook was a man I get to know from social media. Yesterday, he was no more. This is an account on how he existed or what I perceived of him and it has a lot to do with how social media connects us.

Seems that the argument is how Malaysia seems to have changed the way they greet one of the most celebrated day in Muslims calendar. There are two eid in Islam. Eid ul-fitr and Eid ul-adha. One is after a whole month of Ramadhan and the other is after the Haj season in Mekah. The form is still the same.  The evolution goes like this : Selamat Hari Raya  - > Eid Mubarak -> SHRAF The

 Every year, like any other year, the iftar or buka puasa part of Ramadhan will be in focus. People tend to go overboard when it comes to spending for buka puasa. Before I was married, in a family like mine where buka puasa is an event in itself, my mom tend to cook more than necessary as during those time Pasar Ramadhan or Bazaar Ramadhan were not as popular as it is now. We overeat on

8 years ago, after Asar, which then was nearly the same as now, at 4.45pm, I solemnized and officially become the man in someone's life. I was so nervous about going to the mosque from my kampung in Negeri Sembilan, I actually took a wrong turn to the highway. I had to detour nearly 20 kilometers away. I am not sure whether I ever told anyone, including the person I now called wife, about that

I was invited to see the production of Spin Masters 2 at the Zouk KL on one fine Saturday on invitation of the production company, Kyanite TV. It was interesting due to several reasons including that I never seen a reality television production (or maybe any TV production for that matter). The Spin Masters 2 which is has been shown on Astro Hitz and kinda on repeat every day since Wednesday,

Went on a trip to Jakarta. Did so many things but what I enjoyed most were the eating and the drink. Let me list how many things I ate here (those I took picture of) : 1) Nasi padang at Garuda Restoran (which is much like the mamak shop in Malaysia) which you can eat 24 hours a day and is at every corner of Jakarta. They serve it by bringing all the dishes at once and you eat only those you want

What did I get myself into? That was the question when I was told by my wife we were going to Mumbai around 6 months ago. The reason I gave in after being prodded by her for nearly a few years to go to India was due to the cheap Air Asia tickets of RM500++ for 2 persons. India was their new destination then and a friend of my wife asked whether we wanted to go Mumbai with her. My excited wife

A place I have been resisting to go for quite some time but love makes you do a lot of thing you will never do by yourself.  My wife is a lover of India, the country, although I never seen her watched any Indian movie, either Hindustan or Tamil.

I never thought I can see Kuala Lumpur other than a place where traffic jams and tall buildings with no character existed. I was proven wrong by a friend who sees Kuala Lumpur, or any other city. He says, each city has its own character and true to form, it was indeed a revelation. The route we took started by all of us parking at the back of the Bangunan Sultan Abdul Samad, a building amazing in

I was up since 4.30am as I had to send my wife to LCCT, the low-cost airport, as she is going on a long overdue holiday with her. I didn't sleep after sending her but went straight to my office.

How long can a brand last if it doesn't associate itself with something that stands together in its vision. Johnnie Walker did that when it associate itself with one of the stylish and sophisticated sports in the world, the F1.

When I heard of this project for the first time, it was through the comedian Kuah Jenhan of the Malaysia Association of Chinese Comedians fame. He was co-writing the musical with Harith Iskander.

Let me be brief.... I love the movie as I would love a Hong Kong movie (and yes, I know that they get all the help they can from there). Hollywood doesn't have nothing against Hong Kong and Bollywood movie.  In my opinion, film like Wanted was a glorified Hindustan movie. Kamal Hasan did it much, much better. Or Shah Rukh. Or Jackie Chan. What Hollywood has is beautiful people who are sculpted

It seems that on weekends, thanks to a few Twitter friends, we have been going around the Klang Valley to trek across some bush/forest/jungle (depending on the area) and although it may not be much, it does make one sweat. It may not be effective as a healthy lifestyle as we eat quite a huge helping of Malaysian street food once we finished the trekking. Bukit Gasing overlooking PJ For the

I wrote once in this blog, in this blogpost entitled : All anniversaries roll into one where I mentioned that for married couple there are only 3 dates which are important (not including any of the children's) to be remembered. The wedding anniversary. The birthdays of either one of the couple. That's it. All other anniversary become redundant. Unless you are those who really don't have anything

I think I eat a lot. Everywhere I go, whether I plan it beforehand or not, I always eat something. Or try something new. Not that I am THAT adventurous. I don't even eat durian, which is the ultimate disgusting smelly fruit to any Asian but a delicacy nonetheless. I didn't eat a few other things like budu, cencalok, tempoyak and a few other delicacies Malaysia are famous for.  Some may say I am

Yes, we were in Sydney. Arrived exactly on the morning of 31st of December 2010 to witness the fireworks : Pictures are blurry as we were mostly enjoying the fireworks which were really a 360 degree experience. Then, on the 1st of January 2011, we went around Sydney in a boat and had all the landmarks of Sydney captured on camera : Then, the next day, we moved farther from the

We were there for their fireworks as we arrived on New Year's Eve 2011 and then the balance of our days were to explore the town we have never been to before. A lot of pictures which I will post later but here was the New Year Celebrations videos 1) At Darling Harbour at 9pm on 31.12.2010 : 2) At The Rock, the nearest outcrop to the Harbour Bridge and overlooking the Opera House in Sydney :

So, at the end of the year, when we thought we will only be travelling at the end of the year, we went to Penang with a few friends to eat, eat and eat and then at the end of the month, we were invited for a luxurious Phuket getaway.

In May I was in Singapore for a few days. It was actually to watch Chicago the musical (which I consider quite good and true to the original Chicago than the one which came to KL in 2007) but we deviate a little and visited Universal Studio Singapore. Actually, although Chicago was good, being in Universal Studio and being a kid became a memory we treasure more. We also traveled using a bus

It was a special moment as although I already been to Mekah before, I went for umrah this time with my wife and my mother-in-law. This mini pilgrimage is a beautiful moment and can only be beaten when we go for our Haj one day...... Insyaallah... We did stop for transit in Bahrain while the F1 fever hits the city as the first stop of the year for that motorsport event. And the food in these

Mr. Pudgy is not really a new cat in our household. He has been in our house for nearly 3 months. It is just that he is so kitten-like, still, after all these times that we think he just add to the colourful character that cats have. He had a bad case of scabs when he was still small and that is now healed.... And as a writer, after reading so many quotes from writers of yore about cat and their

We have only one shelf which we could not fit all the books we ever bought. Our magazines are not organised properly. They are just stacked on the floors. Years of living does that to whatever collection you decide to not throw away. So, we bought shelves from IKEA. Not really a made-to-order library but it is just what we need. Some guys from IKEA installed it and on one fine rainy morning I

Okay, I know it is a show for kids but I was a tad bit disappointed when it didn't stay true to the original Peter Pan. I mean Peter Pan the theater. I mean, it was a theater before it was a book. The advertisement did say it was a West End production. Maybe it should have been labeled a "SHOW FOR KIDS" or something in that line. It would have prepared us for the way it was presented.Don't get me

I was given an opportunity again to attend the Shout! Awards, an event held by 8TV for the entertainment industry. I just had the opportunity to question Ahmad Izham Omar the CEO of 8TV a few week ago and as I know the Shout! Awards is his current baby, I had high hope for it.

Is he the one who did it?  This is really a conspiracy theory. So, let me say it again. It is a theory. I am not proving or disapproving it with a test or evidence. After all, there is none and I am not qualified to prove or disprove it. The theory is : Someone is infecting with a chicken pox strain so that someone else can take over the job of those being infected.  I had chicken pox 2 months

Called 'Air Campur' or in short a cocktail or mocktail, if you want to be particular about the existence of alcohol in it. It consists of water and biji selasih and coconut and sprayed lime juice. The stall is exactly on the side of Chowrasta market. There

The idea is simple and the execution is simpler : Go Penang, Eat, Check-in hotel, go out back to eat, rest for 30 minutes or so, go look for another place to eat, change places to eat at another location, eat, tweet about what we eat, check out the reply to the tweets so we can try out more food.

I celebrated my 36th birthday last 27th October. It was a simple but memorable celebration.  Every year, I have to say I pity my wife. Trying to plan something memorable and surprising as in our own small way, we love to beat each other celebration. Meaning that we look for ways to surprise each other with the inventive way we can show our appreciation on a significant day for our other half.

Why? Even before October 2010 is over, I can already say that October 2010 is one of the craziest moment of my life. I didn't go into office half of the working days in October. My partner may just contemplate to  cut me off from the partnership and sell my share with the amount of days I was absent. Let me count the ways how crazy it was : 1) I had chicken pox and had to rest at home for 2 weeks

It is not actually Ramadhan 2010 but more of Ramadhan 1431. How has it been for everybody else?  I have feast on so many good food (like always) that the supposed diet that comes with fasting didn't happened.  Managed to attend only 1 buffet at a restaurant and that was due to my brother-in-law wanting to treat us to something nice.

I thought when we are always complimented or more like commented by foreigners (mostly Westerners) that we are mad to always go out at night just to eat, we hold the record as a mad nation of eaters who just couldn't get enough of eating (and shopping). Every time I go to Europe or England when the only after hour activity is going to the local pub or theater (which finish at 11pm the most), I

Rarely do I blog about work in this blog as I have Legal Cat-asthrophe to do that. However, I just wanna say that rarely do I leave my wife anymore due to work commitment. And now I have to as I am the 'perfect' candidate to do it and the potential for more business for my firm will be enormous due to certain people who are only known to me there.

Taken from wikipedia, this is one depiction of the Sorcerer's Apprentice Do you even know that the movie Sorcerer's Apprentice which is going to be released next week, directed by Jon Turteltaub, was not an original story? It is from a 1797 Goethe's poem with it's original German name of Der Zauberlehrling and then a guy by the name of Dukas in 1897 made it into a symphonic poem (not sure what

On a Monday, the 21st June 2010, I was invited to see the official launch of the National Geographic store in Lot 10, a mall in Kuala Lumpur. It was quite an exciting event and to show you how exciting it was, here is a video by dancers immediately after the speeches to officiate the launch of the store. Some of the VIPs that day were 3 generations of YTL Corporation's founding family

Foursquare is one of my indulgence which has no reason or rhyme for it. I mean, why tell everyone where you are or what you are doing? No wonder it was one of Times 50 worse invention ever. Heard about the parody website 'Please Rob Me?'. Yes, there are too many pros and cons about FourSquare that it is the perfect media for some promotion like what Tune Hotels did.

Thanks to Advertlets, I was invited to the launching of the Toy Story 3 media conference which was held at Center Court, Midvalley Megamall. The media event happened at 4pm on 11th of June 2010. This is nearly 6 days ahead of its opening day in cinema worldwide.  It was an exciting event, hosted by Azura of the Disney Channel and she kept the crowd (who mostly consist are adults acting like kids

I am really at a stage where I think I already have everything I ever want.  Of course, people say, you can never have too much money. Or friends. Or time. Or...(insert opinion). You will crave so many thing even if you are envied by everyone who ever met you. I sold my car nearly a year ago. I thought I will last one of two month about it. My wife was kind of furious when I sold it as I used

I felt asleep when I watched Shrek the Third which was a disappointment to me and my wife. It was one of our first free screening as my friend was working in Astro then. We actually were half asleep when we exit the movie theater.  I did not felt like that at all when I watch Shrek Forever After or Shrek 4. It was in 3-D and it was so good that there was a few 'in-joke' which really tickled me

As a lawyer, I am still asking myself why we still have no bounty hunter in Malaysia. Thanks to Adverlets who held a screening last Tuesday for bloggers, I managed to see a movie on just that subject. Some say the story and the movie is lame but I beg to differ as the movie managed to dispel a few cliche. You have to see the end of the movie to see that one of the suspected bad guy is not a bad

I was there! And all I did was wait, hangout with a few other observers and then record the whole thing. Was not going to try to dance as I am a proud two left-feet owner. Here are the Youtube videos that I recorded and the final one is by Joshua Ong which is a blogger I know.

Shrek's Castle Waterwold : Bad movie, Good show Which in another word, my very first time spending a whole day in a theme park. Sadly, it is a fact I have to accept that I never been in a theme park before. Even the popular Malaysian fun fair, which is a smaller version of a theme park, like a traveling carnival in small town, minus the freak show. Maybe my parents were trying to stop me

Delicious food that made me weightier Officially, that mysterious night fever that I have been having is gone. No more waking up like House (the TV series character) checking my temperature wondering why am I sweating while the air condition is on at full blast. I never really went to a doctor except getting advice from my brother who is 400km away and getting his advice on what to take to get

I was down with a mysterious something (which I refuse to label as a malady/disease as it was never determined) and I was quite down emotionally too as I had just returned from a short pilgrimage to Mekah. A pilgrimage to Mekah usually makes one stronger emotionally and physically. Meaning that, you will feel regenerated, closer to Allah and ready to take on the world. However, as most people

I am currently in a condition which I hate to experience again. I am having night fever and the thing about it is, I waited for nearly a week (a normal Standard Operating Procedure for me when I am sick) and finally on Monday, I went to have my blood tested. Why I straight away ask for a blood test is due to the area where I live which is notorious for it's high dengue fever sufferer and even

I have came back from umrah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (as it is officially known) for nearly more than one week now. I was not feeling too well since I came back but I self-diagnose myself and I think it was too much of good food that I ate. Here are some of the food that I had the opportunity to savour while I was travelling : Chicken mendy at one of the wadi (RnR stop) between Jeddah

Had a great getaway with my wife last week. We went to Phuket then to Phi Phi Island and finally to Krabi. We actually only transited less than 2 hours in Phuket as I booked an airport transfer to the Ratsada Pier immediately after landing at Phuket airport before we went off to Phi Phi Island. And yes, I already know what Phuket has to offer as we were actually reliving our honeymoon in 2003 (

We were holding an event at the legal firm that day and it was an apt event to celebrate the birthday too.

I am an avid user of Twitter and Facebook nowadays. They are not something really new in my life but for Twitter, I just realised its potential in being a way to document every single thing in my life as it happens and I can write, creatively or uncreatively, even with pictures and links, in 140 words and people can straight away comment on what I am doing. I am actually having real life

Since New Year, even on New Year's Eve itself, I have been to three #Tweetups (Twitter Meet-ups). One of it was an unintentional meeting of a group of people I got to know through blogs and Twitter during New Year's Eve. Then on the 2nd of

I checked in into the Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur, a hotel just beside Kuala Lumpur Petronas Twin Tower and spent my New Year's Eve 2010 there. It was a plush hotel which set the standard of other hotel and the treatment by the staff plus the fact we were able to check out at 4pm on New Year's day, wow, it was an amazing experience.

An event called P1 Social Media Night, hosted by P1 Wimax, which is infamous for its "Potong!" advertisement to its maverick way in marketing their broadband.

It was a very fun even with the host using social media to invite and keep those on Facebook and Twitter in the know of what was happening at the event. With the theme masquerade, I was curious at how they can use a Starbucks in a mall to throw an event to celebrate their 11th year in Malaysia. Thanks to the emcees who one of them in Xandria Ooi and the other Starbucks area manager, which I

Not that I don't appreciate good musics from the early days of Rock n Roll but when I am in my office and sobered up from the rocking gastronomic experience which one would experience if one stays in a hotel where rock memorabilia is the order of the day, reality hits home. I was and actually still an avid fan of rock n' roll music and being close to all the memorabilia especially those in my

If you have followed or stumbled on a few of my posts in this blog, you would know I love walking by the beach and I can actually walk nearly 1 or 2 km by myself by the beach. My wife usually follows until half a mile then drop back as I go through my pace. As Hard Rock Hoetl is really just down the road from the famous Batu Feringghi beach in Penang Island, I walked twice the whole stretch

Am on holiday locally in Malaysia but with a foreign flavor.I am at Hard Rock Hotel Penang. Was invited by my brother last October to accompany him here 3 days after it opens but was preoccupied with something else.

When it comes to steak in Kuala Lumpur, I have been looking for a good one for quite sometime.... The problem with me is although I not really a fussy person, as I always order my steak medium rare, as I am a Muslims and always want all my steak to be certified halal.
