On fire!

Boy boy’s house was on fire that night!

Not to worry, boy boy is still alive.

Not a big fire though, just a small corner of his house got burned.

And you can never guess what caused the fire.

At 1am, he smells some type of electronic burning smell. So he walked near his computer cables there, but the smell was not from there. He tried to sniff the whole room but still couldn’t find out where the smell comes from.

When he opened the door, a total blackout! The black smoke was floating in front of his door and he can’t see a thing. So he went downstairs and look for the source.

At a corner of the living room, the fire was flaming! Boy boy, being very smart one, knows that fire that is caused by electric are not allowed to use water. So he found a piece of cloth and tried to put off the fire.

Of course, the fire was put off, the floor was full of dust. He opened the glass door and the windows so that the smoke can go off.

When he told me about the incident, my first reaction was, “why you never take picture before you put off the fire???”. He said, “You CRAZY ar???”

Luckily he was not asleep at that time, if not the whole house will be burnt down coz around the corner, there was baby JL’s toys, a big bottle of oil and some wooden furniture. Sure ja lat liao la if didn’t put off earlier. Plus, the smoke can suffocate his family who were asleep soundly at that time.

“If I die then you can go find another guy that want to get married fast one lor, so good”. =.=”

Ok, have you guess what was on fire? Neh…. The electronic racket-light thingy to electrocute the mosquitoes one…. Apparently, his mum was charging the thing and left it there. So the adapter got heated up and burnt.

So the lesson is: DON’T CHARGE AND SLEEP

Sarpino's Pizzeria - USJ

Suyin couldnt stop mentioning about this new place in USJ that serves XL pizza with a buy one free one price. At last, we went there. The last time she ate, it was 4 people and the tabao 3 slices back. So we thought since we have 5 people, we could finish the XL x 2 pizzas easily.


Calamari (RM7.90). The coating was crunchy but it was on the hard side.

Buy 1 Free 1 XL size pizza at RM43.90. One slice was larger than our palm. Crazy! We ordered The Aloha (I think). Not so nice compared to the second one.

San Remo - Grilled chicken strips loaded with roasted red peppers, parmesan and mozzarella cheese. This tasted fantastic! All of us agreed that this was better than the previous. The chicken strips were baked to crispiness, which was very nice.



They have another set of menu with price of buy one and get the second 50% off. This set has more choice to choose with. We should have taken this option. But, never mind, we can always come back again to try it.



Now, all of us struggled to finish the pizza. We over-estimated ourselves. We managed to finish it. But after that, we asked Nikky to drive slowly coz we scared we will vomit back out. Hahaha. So, please be careful not to over order when you are here. The pizza stucked in our stomach until the next morning we still feel very full. 'Mun lei sei mei!'

After the dinner, we went to Anne's house to 'open table' again. That was the first time I saw Crayon, her pet cat, which is huge! She is as huge as my Boston Terrier lei. When Kinyu carried him here, it looked totally like the Puss in Boots in Shrek. The eyes was so big and round.

New Year Eve's Dinner

My bro treated us a dinner at Coconut Flower on New Year eve. The dinner was supposed to start at 8pm. But we expecting someone would be late coz no one can predict the traffic in KL especially New Year eve. But surprisingly, the traffic was smooth!


Calvin picked me and Annie up at 5pm, and went and picked up my bro at HLA within 5 minutes. And we reached Scott's office, puchong another 30 minutes. Woo! Really unexpected. Since it was still early for dinner and we have to wait for kinyu to meet us at Puchong. We went and have a tea break at Honeymoon.


Honeydew Sago.



Nata De Coco tau fu fa (left) and marble taufufa (right). This marble taufufa was mixed together with black sesame.

Yong Ji Kam Lou.
Tai Chi Tau Fu Fa.


We left Puchong at 7pm and proceeded to Kesas highway. The traffic was heavy but still can speed. We reached Coconut Flower around 7.45pm and was seated at one of the hut that has super lots of mosquitoes. Michelle and Yweng were the first one to reach, all the way from Cheras.


Now, we just left the super-duper late guy, Nikky. 10 minutes before 8pm, he arrived. Woah! First time ever he reached BEFORE the time. Somemore he went and picked Suyin up in USJ then went back to his house in Bkt Jelutong and bathed, yet he reached on time. Need to buy 3D liao. Hahaha.


Kung Bow Har Gou. I tried this in one of the restaurant in Serdang and I fell in love with the dish. But the one here was rather disappointing though. The Kung Bow taste was ever lousier than the mixed rice shop in Wisma Sentral. The Har Gou was not crispy enough. Now, I miss the serdang restaurant. Should have settle with their signature Oat Har Gou.

Fried Meehoon with lala.

Fried sotong.

Oh Jien.

Kam Kua Kang (Pumpkin soup??). The captain said this has sharkfin in it, but I doubt there was any real sharkfin. Nevertheless, it was quite refreshing to have this dish instead the normal sharkfin soup. The pumpkin did add an extra kick to this soup. Not bad. I quite like it.

Steam Jade Fish.

Siong Tong Lala. The soup was quite nice.

Nai Yao Crab. It has the curry powder, I think it is the original version of nai yao. I still prefer the version in King Crab.

Spicy and Sour Crab.

Thanks bro for the dinner.

Happy 2010!

Hi guys! Happy New Year!

Ya, I know today is already the 3rd day of the new year. Should have wish you guys earlier. But I was so sleepy and tired for the past three days le. Slept at 3am or 4am. Coz me and the gang was 'playing cards' to greet the new year. Hahaha. Not yet CNY already started playing cards.

I looked back at my 2009 new year resolution. Sigh...as usual, I didnt achieve my resolution. Not that I didnt go for it. I remembered it throughout the year and tried my best (maybe not my best yet) to achieve it, but still, the ball was not on my court. So ended up status still the same.

Should I have a resolution again this year? I think I should hor! Most people also wish the same thing every year one what. So I am determined to set a similar resolution again this year.

"I want my ROM this year!"

(Someone is gonna pretend he didnt read this post again. Hahaha. Let's bold it big big first so that he wont miss the sentence)

Oh, forgotten to congrats my best mate whose bf proposed to her last December and she gonna register by CNY this year. Cannot disclose her name yet, but you know who you are ya.

Bodyguards and Assassins

The movie was set in 1905 where CiXi emperor assigns assassins to kill Sun Yat Sen who is planning for a revolution. So there are a few characters who are involved in protecting Sun Yat Sen during his visit in Hong Kong.

Now, let's see who are the bodyguards:



Tony Leung as Chen ShaoBai, chief editor of a newspaper. He is the revolutionary and the one who plans the visit of Sun Yat Sen. Wang Xueqi and Li Yutang, a businessman. Both these actors acted well enough in the movie, both has strong emotions.


Nicholas Tse, a rickshaw puller, my favourite actor of all time. I thought he is a kungfu master before I watch this movie, but ended up he is just an amateur with a brave heart. Quite farnie la his character.

Mengke Bateer as Wang Fuming, a former Shaolin monk that sells smelly toufu. His character was so sad, kena stabbed by people, didnt die at the first round, then kena stabbed again the second round.


Donnie Yen as Shen Chongyang, a gambler. Do expect lots of martial arts by Donnie Yen. But he kena whacked like mad in the movie, the whole face also disfigured and bengkak badly.


Leon Lai as Liu Yubai, the most 'hilarious' character, a beggar. A skilled martial artist with an iron fan. Why I said is the most 'hilarious'? It was because that the appearance as a beggar was ok, lots of curly hair (I mean bushy) and moustache. But the night before the fight, he shaves his moustache away, then his hair suddenly because straight, as if after rebonding. swt. Leon Lai doesnt suit this character la.

The above bodyguards all died except Tony Leung and Wang. What a sad story lor. I thought the good people are not suppose to die! Especially Wang's son, died so innocently. Plus, all died in a very horrible way. Sigh. I dont like sad ending. But, this movie is worth a watch. Just like my bro said, "one of the best Hong Kong movie this year". I agree.

Super long holidays!

I have been on leave since last Wednesday until today. Tomorrow only start working. I know I have been negleting my blog coz I really have nothing to write, no makan place to blog about ma, and nothing big happening to me also, that's why no tiny thoughts lor.


Sigh, holiday, stay at home also can get myself sick. Have been coughing and flu for the past few days. Sien la like that. Find difficulty to sleep soundly. My dad asked me to go and see doctor and get some antibiotics but antibiotic is super harmful to the body, so I insist not going to see doctor. Drank kat chai water, eat pei pa gou and eat some sore throat sweet should be fine. I hope.


Now, I have compiled all the makan place that I have dined throughout my holidays:


Hing Loong Taiwanese House (Damansara Uptown)

Pork trotter noodle.
Pork ribs noodle. The portion was half size smaller compared to a more famous Taiwanese Noodle house in ss2, of course the price was half cheaper than the latter. I would prefer ss2 version of Taiwan mee. But boy boy prefer this restaurant one.

Taiwan sausage. Quite nice.

Shabu Shabu Japanese Steamboat Buffet (Bandar Puteri Puchong)

I was suppose to eat Jogoya with boy boy during his college mates gathering that night. But boy boy couldnt make it on time coz KL was super jam. So we joined my bro's frens to Shabu Shabu lor. After I discovered Ho Ho Steamboat, no other steamboat place can beat Ho Ho. Even this Shabu Shabu restaurant. I have no idea why it is always full house.


Boy boy asked King yew what is nice here, he said the pork slices. Indeed, the pork slices were quite good, the best among other things on the conveyer belt. King Yew ate 3 plates himself. Haha.


Tappers Cafe (Jaya One)


Tappers Chicken Chop set. It was supposed to taste like Hainanese Chicken Chop, but this one was far from that. My grandma version of chicken chop is better than this. The taste was quite bland.

Fish and Chips Set. Took them 20 minutes to serve mine. Boy boy also finished his chicken chop already. The fish was fresh and the coating was very very crunchy. Well, the fish was quite good. The fries and the green peas were not ok.


Seeri Authentic Thai Restaurant (Chow Yang SS2)

The last time I blogged about this place, I didnt get to eat their dessert. So this time I asked them to serve it before the food arrives. The taste was just nice, not too sweet and not too bland. However, the ice was not blended well enough, you get to see chunks and chunks of ice in it. I have to wait till it cool down, I mean, the ice melted then only the dessert tasted nice. The uncles at the table beside us scooped out all the ice to his plate.

Steamed Fish (RM29). The fish was really meaty and fresh. The soup was super spicy lor. But it tasted delicious though.

Cut la!

I always do something stupid to my hair on every year before CNY. Sometimes it ended up nice and sometime it ended up disastrous. Last time, I do not spend so much money on my hair until recently, Nicole told me something before I went to Bangkok that strucked my head. She said, "Mun, go do something with your hair la before you go Bangkok!". I listened to her and I did rebonding and coloring, and the Bangkok pictures turned out beautifully. I mean I looked beautiful ok. :P


Then, the nice hair didnt last long, so I went back to the salon again and did rebonding plus a hair cut. Seeing fringe is the 'in' thing now, and PY also cut fringe and she looks younger, so I went and followed. Ended up like this:

I.... dont know what to say. It has been years (since I was 12 years old) that I have this type of fringe. I didnt look young also. I look weird. Swt! Die la this time, sure kena laughed by everyone already.


Boy boy's reaction to me --> speechless at first, then he said I look funny.

Boy boy's mum --> said I look like an Eygptian girl. (she really knows the trend)

Boy boy's reaction after listening to his mum --> 'What Eygptian!! Is China girl!' (I sweat big time).

My sis --> 'YER!'

My mum --> 'Wah, cut until like this ar? Looks different'


Nikky --> 'An yong ha seh yo!'. (He still havent recover from his Korea trip)


(* you guys wanna add some more reactions? I can edit / update it here*) (I bet Angela has something to say coz she super pantang this type of fringe. Hahaha)


Updated 5/1/10:

My 70+ years old Grandma: I called her when I entered the house, she stared at me. When I scooping out the rice, she stood beside me and stared at me. Then she said, "Oh....you are ah Mun is it? You cut your hair liao?"


Farish: "Fuiyoh! Macam Barbie Doll saje"

Qab: He walked few steps then stopped and looked at me. Continued a few steps, he turned back and looked at me. Then I called his name. He, "aiks! siew mun ar??? I ingat colleague baru, tak berani tegur u le"


Angela: She kept on laughing when she saw me.


Saravanan: "You and PY look like Austin Powers' Fook Me and Fook You".


Suyin: she said I suit this hairstyle.


My SVP: Walking towards the door, and he stopped, "New hair cut, nice".


Ravichandran: "Last time you look like a chick, now...erm..." He was short of words to describe my new hairstyle. Then I said, "So now I am a chick anymore la???"


Sigh, my poor new hair style. Even I myself find it funny. Then I told boy boy that I will split back to my side parting. Then he stopped me, he said I look cute wor.... Now only he said like that after listening to all my complains.


3 days later, I went back to the salon. Nope, not to do side parting but to color it. I chose red-brown color. At the intial stage, the color wont come out yet. 2 weeks later la, I will have red hair liao. At least I colored it already, it looks better than the first photo right???


Got to stick with this hair style until CNY then I can grow long back again.
