Nasi lemak with quail eggs

January 12, 2004 by HB

Nasi lemak with quail eggs. Makes for a good dinner, especially with ayam goreng panas:

Must be a drumstick though…gotta be that.

I have a feeling I’m starting to move away from my happy happy joy
joy blog posts to appeal to the masses with the obligatory “Thank you
please come again” polite reply for every comment into a somewhat
sarcastic and generally less palatable online personality. This may be
a permanent transfiguration or just a temporary phase, in the case of
the former, I shall join the ranks of jaded and old skool bloggers, in
the case of the latter, just bear with me. 😉 I could manage that
emoticon so fear not, I think it’s the latter, so yeah, I shall be less
than my usual cheery (to you anyway) self for a while and sixthseal.com
would be back in force (or something to that effect) in due time!
Regardless, nasi lemak with quail eggs and steamy hot fried chicken
still makes good dinner.

China YongJin Acrobatic Show

January 11, 2004 by HB

China Yong Jin Acrobatic Show at the Center Court

I was in MidValley Megamall for most of the day and caught the Yong
Jin acrobatic troupe. The first act has a girl with a steel support on
her head holding up a boy who’s progressively putting on more and more
chairs:

Pile ’em high.
A remarkable balancing act – the girl just had to move around to counter balance the action above.

The second one was of a contortionist who’s pretty good at balancing
things as well – besides the lit lamps, she’s holding one unwieldy set
with a rod in her mouth. Did that sound a little off?

Moving on, the third act is a little girl on a makeshift trapeze
type setup involving a long bamboo pole, a ladder and the actual
trapeze.

The forth one had a girl juggling a table with her feet.

The last act had all of the members out, jumping about and generally
doing acrobatic type stuff before forming a human pyramid…

and a teeming mass of humanity on a pole.

Thus ends the show.

My apologies, I’m depressed – apathy has rained on me and all that.
It’s funny how nothing seems much fun anymore to me now that I’ve quit.
Blah blah blah. By the way, the lyrics go “that I’ve quit the drink”
i.e. alcohol so no one thinking along other lines. Thank God it’s
Monday. Heh. Right. Bye and take care.

Ferrero Prestige

January 10, 2004 by HB

Ferrero Prestige is the combination box with Ferrero Rocher, Mon
Cheri and Ferrero Manderly. This is the smallest box, with three of
each. I had an urge to buy it even though I didn’t really feel like
eating it. I woke up a little past noon, went out to get something to
eat and we went to Giants coz one of my housemates wanted to get
something and we were in the area. I saw this and the evil, evil
configuration and packaging thought up by the marketing folks down at
Ferrero made me buy it. Have a chocolate while I sit on my ass and
watch a movie or something:

Ferrero Manderly, Mon Cheri, Ferrero Rocher or the other Roche product?

I can never spell Rocher properly coz of the mental association with Roche.

Murder! She wrote…

There were drips of blood in the room…no body was found, but the
blood wasn’t voluminous enough to suggest that someone died from it. It
was a mystery though. Who did the blood belong to? What happened in
this god forsaken room? Why am I posting about it? Burning questions
that only an intoxicated mind could think up. Burning like…like
something combustible. Worthy of an Agatha Christy novel, but I
couldn’t be bothered.

Scene: A few dismal drops of blood in a room. What happened and why and who and what and but and lah and di and dah.

Answer: Fucking veritas broke his meth pipe in my room,
resulting in me stepping on the glass and embedding a small piece into
me. Dickhead. 😉

Do not disturb, chilling out…

January 9, 2004 by HB

Today is my chill out day so excuse me while I relax and I’ll post
again and reply the comments tomorrow. I realize that I’ve been a bit
slack in that department but I’ll just say that there’s changes
about, which I can’t yet reveal due to the sensitive nature of the said
changes, but I’ll definately post about it on the 1st of February.
Who’s already looking forward to the new year? Me! I’ll be flying back
16th of January. 🙂

Oooh quick!

January 8, 2004 by HB

Oooh quick quick let’s cover up the stupid previous post with blurry
out of focus pics of a slug crawling up the kitchen sink. Quick before
someone sees it!!! Quick, they’re coming and reading , quick add pics
cover up cover up coz ppl dun read anything but the first one on top
anyway. Cepat!!!~~ quick lar

A snail crawled up my sink just now. He didn’t have a shell, so that makes him a slug.

He looks around, puzzled. He spots my digicam!

He ignores it and moves along.

Thanks for visiting, don’t read the post below, have a nice day and come back again (later).

No, actually, I kinda squashed the slug to make him pose for the final photo just now.

I slug, you slug, we all slug for ice slug!

Shall we dance?

January 8, 2004 by HB

I did it. Like all big decisions it has left me thinking about
whether it was the right thing to do. I’m not so sure really, but I
like to think that “No remorse, no regrets” and “Hard to port, steady
as she goes” are good phrases to live by. Contrary to the image I like
to portray, I’m really an emotional sucker at heart and I do have
“feelings”, strange at it may sound. I do “miss” people and places,
even though the feelings may or may not be reciprocated. Plus, the
bottle of hand shampoo hardly even got used.

I am not exactly sober right now though (not anything illegal, mind
you, just my script and good old neurotoxic but legal ethanol) so
everything I say is just me talking out of my ass. Forget I said
anything. Big boys don’t cry and all that.

Hey ho, let’s go! 🙂

Oh yeah, the photo above was taken earlier today, at Suria KLCC
center court. I’ll be celebrating Chinese New Year this year for a
change, it’s been a while and we only live that long so every new year
is a good chance to get all (emotionally) touchy feely with the
extended family and friends back home.

Now what the fuck did you just say young man? Put that bottle of vodka down and keep in mind that Xanax is not candy.

Excuse me.

Let’s dance…

Tandoori Chicken @ Ali Maju

January 6, 2004 by HB

Tandoori Chicken at Ali Maju, Pusat Bandar Damansara. It goes well
with garlic naan and I always ask for the drumstick – it comes with the
upper part of the thigh too at Ali Maju. A tasty and filling dinner
would be one tandoori chicken (shared between two people), garlic naan
(a must have, one serving each) and maggi mee goreng (one serve each).
I don’t know why but that combination tastes really good. The best way
to enjoy it is to alternate between naan + tandoori and maggi +
tandoori i.e. one bite of the first, then one of the second, repeat
till plate==empty or person==full. One ABC special with ice cream (they
make huge ones here) after that and you’ll be sorted. 🙂

On a more serious (well, perhaps personal would be a better word)
note, I’m about to decide on a very, very big issue which may have long
lasting and severe consequences that will affect me on a personal
level. Of course, I can’t talk about it here due to my readership, and
if you know about it (yeah, both of you), you shouldn’t comment here
coz it’ll jeopardize me. I’ll think it through, discuss it with several
people and then we’ll see how it goes okay? I’ll post about that when
it’s set.

Oh yeah, would someone please come over and run a needle and thread through my lips? I just did a very stupid thing today. I’m famous for that, you know…

Famous Amos Premium Chocolate Chip with Pecan Nut cookies

January 5, 2004 by HB

Famous Amos

I love Famous Amos cookies…have a fondness for them ever since I
was a kid. There wasn’t any in Sibu at that time, and my dad travels to
KL very frequently so I always get him to buy some back. Much later, a
franchise opened in Kuching, which makes things easier. Anyway, this
200 gram bag of Premium Chocolate Chip w/ Pecan Nut is one of my
favorites. I usually go for this or the Double Chocolate Chip w/ Pecan
Nut. I proudly present to you, the return of the HandCam [sixthseal.com] after more than a year:

*lights* *camera* *action*

Thanks for all your concern everyone, I appreciate all the emails,
SMS, IM’s and phone calls for support. I’m glad the blogger community
is looks out for each other. I’m okay though, and I’m still in a
relationship. 🙂 I’ll post again tomorrow, too sleepy right now. Take
care everyone!

I did the right thing
