SCII. Epic.

This short and simple blog post has been created to commemorate the launch of StarCraft II, a game of epic proportion ten years in the making, one that is not within my reach though I very much desire it due to the overwhelming cost of completely overhauling my PC. Sigh. I shall heal my grievance slowly by watching replays and cut scenes from the game as well as wait patiently for the launch of PlayStation...

Breakfast Pamper.

Discovery of the Day: Inspiration for blog posts only comes during work hours, there goes productivity. The occasional splurge on breakfast with Jacklyn at La Bodega. Occasional because 60 plus ringgit can buy us many bowls of chili Pan Mee, enough to make us stay away from it for weeks. Sigh, can't...

Either a Butterfly or a Moth.

Had thought of a catchy title but couldn't use it upon realization that I wasn't sure which insect group it belonged to. A quick search on the Internet later, I conclude that its a moth based on the characteristics that its dull in color, it has a thick and fuzzy body and its wings are held flat against...

Alamak!

Of all times, I had to sprain my ankle during badminton last night, it looks pretty swollen now. Sigh. I'm really worried that it might not heal in time for my marathon next Saturday, one that I've been looking forward to. Also, no more practice runs until then! I should start some mental preparation to accept the fact that I shall fare poorly at yet another run. Shuc...

Snowflake.

My current favorite dessert outlet because I love shaved ice based desserts unconditionally, be it ABC (Air Batu Campur) or Cendol or the ice shavings from 100 Yen shop, you name it, I love them all. I think I'm very much similar to Jacklyn in a way, I always say that she was born in the wrong continent...

It's Funny.

How easily your day can be ruined by others. Like how your peaceful morning drive to work was ruined by a reckless driver on a modified Saga, you know, those with huge spoilers, noisy mufflers and cracked body kits, who speeds on the emergency lane and then forcefully cuts into your lane, suspecting a police block in front. Had to jam on the brakes because it was slightly downhill and I was accelerating...

Haikara-Style Cafe & Bakery.

So, I think I've heard about this little Japanese establishment hidden somewhere in Subang that serves out-of-this-world cakes and equally awesome food from the wife for like a gazillion times, but was never brought there, I don't know why. Well, I never tried venturing there alone as the wife stressed...

Inception.

Was incredible, a must watch. So good that when the credits started rolling, I had an urge for a standing ovation but decided against it in the end because none around me seem to be sharing the same sentiment. And I shy. It has been quite some time since I last exited a cinema hall still thinking and pondering over the movie. Spoilers ahead, although not major, still, please experience the movie...

Donashi by Big Apple.

Here's the list of all available Donashi(s) from Big Apple. Side tracking, I realize that both Big Apple and J.CO named their product(s) donuts whilst Krispy Kreme named theirs doughnuts. All this while, I had this perception that the correct spelling would be the latter (since its made of dough, not...

Pasta Zanmai, finally.

Why finally, you wonder? Because since its establishment I don't know when but assume it has been around for quite some time, I have heard of horror stories and equally terrible reviews on the food served hence, I've made it a point never to dine there. Ironically, I've been to Sushi Zanmai plenty of...

The Monday Rant.

# I very much expected the roads to be absolutely clear due to the prolonged final but to my ultimate horror, I was stuck in the worst congestion I've experienced in weeks!!! # And I was feeling really wobbly and light-headed during the drive to work (which I found out later was due to hunger). Most fortunately, I made it there alive. # And my World Cup Search for Money Glory campaign ended in...

Double Strike!

Purchased this so long ago that I don't remember when, was much attracted to the glass that the package came bundled with at a killer price. Since then, it has been kept away safely in storage and long forgotten until moments ago, was suggested to bring them over to a friend's place before it turned...

Kindly take note that all prices stated are not inclusive of taxes and has been double confirmed with its prices stated on the McD's website (this shall serve as a disclaimer as well): A weekday breakfast special Egg McMuffin with Chicken Roll plus coffee set costs RM 4.50 The breakdown of items on the receipt showed...

World Cup 2010.

The road to the World Cup finals has been a truly horrible journey for me, trust me when I say you have not witnessed a losing streak until you see my 'support road map' since Quarter Finals. As for the group matches, I just watch for fun, not that into football anyway. It started with England (trashed) and Brazil (outwitted) then it was Argentina who I had hope was able to give Germany a beating...

Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Because I could not think of anything else to blog about at the moment, I shall leave you with a photo of the Sydney Harbour Bridge taken during the ferry ride from Parramatta to Circular Quay. Come to think of it, this was the one and only time that I traveled via ferry although the wharf is located...

Little by Little.

Standing in the middle of somewhere that is currently nowhere Headed over to the site once again to have a look at the latest progress of our future home, unlike her, I wasn't really expecting much difference actually after the many rounds of false hopes that were given to us. And true enough, not much...

Money In, Money Out.

How to save money like that! Every single month end without fail, its the same old routine of salary debited into account and then salary credited out of account. For as long as I can remember, the figures of my account balance has remained stagnant, such a depressing sight. I don't even bother keeping track of my transactions anymore (use to do it diligently, with all the excel sheets and stuff),...

Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2010.

It is that time of the month again. First of all, here's to hoping I did not send the wrong message across. Just that its the start of a brand new month, another fresh beginning and this attempt to revive this little blog of mine is special too, its mid of 2010! But then again, looking at the past records,...
