Sidewalk Cafe review

by

sidewalk

Sidewalk is an eating establishment located at the BDC / Green Heights area which is similar in concept to Oregano [sixthseal.com], the other eating establishment it is frequently compared to.

sidewalk exterior

Sidewalk Café has a large al fresco dining area with a seating capacity of 40 diners as well as a small interior which seats 10 people.

sidewalk ambience

The décor at Sidewalk Café is charming and the ambience given off is very much one of warmth.

sidewalk open kitchen

Sidewalk also subscribes to the open kitchen school of thought…

sidewalk bar

…and has a fully stocked bar to boot.

sidewalk special

This is the SideWalk Special (RM 5.80) which I ordered.

sidewalk greenheight

I also had a Green Heights Breeze (RM 5.80) which are two of the flagship drinks.

sidewalk lamb leg provencal

Grilled Lamb Leg Provencal (RM 19.80) with tomato herb sauce.

sidewalk lamb leg provencal flash

My dining companion had this one, and I had a few bites. It tastes great!

sidewalk codfish

Pan-fried Cod Fish (RM 32.80).

sidewalk codfish flash

I went for the “pan fried cod fish with tomato caulis, apple balsamic, and basil oil infuse”. It was alright.

Sidewalk Café is a cozy eating establishment. It comes highly recommended from me.

P/S – This is the 100th food review post.

Project MISER Month – FAILED

by

yientao box

Project MISER Month is a failure. I just opened a bottle of Johnny Walker Swing (RM 300) last night so it’s over. Thanks to yientao.com for sending me a care package:

yientao supplies

It’s very much appreciated and I will eat it, but Project MISER month (I have a tendency to repeat myself) is terminated due to budgeting issues. It was a fun project though and I would like to try it again next month.

I need to exercise more financial restrain. No more drinking next month. I’ll start Project MISER Month again in October with a RM 300 limit. I don’t cheat on my own projects so I have to tell you all that this month’s attempt was a failure. 🙁

Remainder: – RM137.80 (RM 0)

McDonald's SEGA 3 video games – TAILS SKY ADVENTURE

by

tails sky adventure

McDonald’s came out with the 3rd iteration of their McDonald’s / SEGA video game franchise partnership and this time it’s free with every purchase of a Happy Meal. I collected the first McDonald’s / SEGA collaboration [sixthseal.com] as well as SEGA 2 [sixthseal.com and I wasn’t about to miss the third.

tails sky adventure game

TAILS SKY ADVENTURE is the first electronic game in the Sega 3 series and David was kind enough to get it for me while I was in the hospital (it was the very last set). It came with a Cheeseburger and Corn Happy Meal if that interests you, which I don’t think it does. 😉

tails sky adventure man

The manual is printed like the previous iterations of the McDonald’s / SEGA collaboration – it’s a single sheet of paper with instructions on how to play the game – in this case TAILS SKY ADVENTURE, a Sonic franchise character.

tails sky adventure clamshell

TAILS SKY ADVENTURE opens up like a clamshell phone to reveal the game which has two directional buttons and an action button. The premise of the game is to shoot down rogue squadrons by moving left and right and pressing the button while navigating TAILS to victory.

Here is a screenshot of the action – it’s a little harder than the previous games, or perhaps I’ve just lost a lot of my hand eye coordination from the benzos and antipsychotics I’m taking coz I couldn’t even finish it after the sixth attempt!

Bring down the enemy ships! Good luck!

Project MISER DAY 9: Groceries

by

groceries

I went grocery shopping at Ngiu Kee just now with my dad so the financial impact on Project MISER month is non-existent due to the kind patronage of said dad:

Kellogg’s Frosties (RM 7.70)
Devondale Skim Milk (RM 3.39)
Aquarius Mineral Water x 3 (RM 3.90)
Dutch Lady Fresh Milk (RM 4.50)
Nestle Low Fat Milk (RM 3.70)
Nescafe Coffee Ice (RM 1.40)
Nescafe Coffee Ice (RM 1.40)
Darlie toothpaste (RM 6.50)
LP Cloth Peg (RM 2.70)
Shirt Hanger x 2 (RM 7.80)
Eagle Steel Mug (RM 14.90)
Total: RM 57.89

I got some groceries including essentials like a mug, clothes pegs and shirt hangers since I’ve moved into a new apartment and I need a receptacle of some sort to eat my cereal anyway. 🙂

I ate it for lunch, breakfast and dinner. Frosties rock.

Remainder: RM 162.20

Personal ad: Girlfriend wanted

by

I’m still not over my ex (who dumped me, if you have the burning urge to know) and I’m starting to think that the best way to forget about her is to go into a rebound relationship. I’m looking for a girl (no age limit) that has the qualities below:

Speaks English
Reasonably intelligent

and does not mind:

Smoking
A slightly psychotic boyfriend
Some emotional baggage

…it’s not too much to ask right?

Call or SMS 014 680 2348 if you’re interested.

Latest tattoo: For the devil my soul, for you, my flesh tattoo on back

by

steph celtic cross tattoo

I got another tattoo done on impulse on Sunday evening. I decided to commemorate the breakup with *x with the new tattoo and said so in the video (actually I said “Steph” in the video, this is a semi-honest mistake, I meant to say “star crossed”). It was done at no other than Borneo Headhunters Tattoo and Piercing for RM 500.

steph celtic cross tattoo wrap

The tattoo is the very same Celtic cross tattoo [sixthseal.com] that I had wanted to do for a long time. Celtic cross sounds too generic so I gave it a name – “For the devil my soul, for you, my flesh“. It’s a tattoo of a Celtic cross with the inscription “In nomine patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti” which means “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Sprit” in Latin.

steph celtic cross tattoo borneo headhunters

The tattoo was done at 5 pm on the 3rd of September 2006, the very same day I was warded for psychosis. I was in a manic state then, and wanted to get a tattoo so I called up Ernesto at Borneo Headhunters (who won the best Celtic/Tribal tattoo award twice in a row) and got myself inked.

For the devil my soul, for you, my flesh.

Always.

Project MISER DAYS 3-8: Psychotic episode

by

warded again

I was warded after a little psychotic episode on Sunday and was kept in until Friday (just now) before the psychiatrist deemed me fit for discharge. I’m on lamotrigine now as a mood stabilizer in addition to my existing repertoire of drugs [sixthseal.com]. I’m on 4 mg of Risperdal and 60 mg of Remeron daily though, that’s the changes to the older post.

warded again scar

The picture above shows the scar from the previous hospitalization [sixthseal.com] which has its stitches removed and is now nice and comfy.

warded again hospital food

Mmm…hospital food.

warded again hospital food macro

Mmm…a closer look at hospital food.

warded again mcdonalds

Mmm…McDonald’s McDelivery delivered to not just my ward, but my bed!

warded again mcdonalds happy meal

Happy Meals makes me happy.

warded again mc

I am slightly retarded. Just FYI.

warded again tax

Your taxpayer’s money hard at work! It cost me just RM 12 for my entire stay! Yes! I am certified insane!

P/S – The hospital bills were footed by my dad so he’s the sponsor of this post and the days ranging from the 3rd to the 8th of Project MISER Month on the account that I’m in the hospital. The project will continue as normal but without accounting for the impulsive tattoo done (next post) coz that tattoo cost RM 500 and it’s not a monthly expense but more of an impulsive event so I’m not including that. Future posts will not have Project MISER RM 250 appended to it but will be normal post titles. The post body will still include Remainder details and expenses though.

Remainder: RM 162.20

Project MISER DAY 2: Saturday night

guinness stout joanne

I didn’t spend a single cent on Saturday night, thanks to Joanne.

guinness stout promo

She bought me the 5 Guinness Stout for RM 50 special, which would have put a huge dent into the project rationing if I were the one who got it.

guinness stout

I still have two bottles left in bottle keep at Luconia from last month so 7 Guinness Stouts and a couple of Dormicums was about right to get me there.

Thanks Joanne, for getting the drinks!

Project MISER DAY 2: RM 50 reload

by

digi reload

I just got a RM 50 DiGi reload coupon for my 014 680 2348 number. I’m sorry I lost it just now, I haven’t taken my benzos and it was an honest mistake on my part and I just couldn’t let it lie that it wasn’t my intention to cause you any grief. I’m sad and angry right now, but strangely at peace at last.

Remainder: RM 162.20

Goodbye *x, if you can’t find it in your heart to forgive me. I will always love you and have good memories of you.
