I Don't Need Sex Anymore

Have discovered the most heavenly toe-curling eyeball-rolling chocolate pralines ever to sit on the shelves along the confectionery aisle.


Witor's Bianco Cuore - Made in Italy

Grabbed a handful and guzzled 5 before I came to my senses

Chocolate praline with creamy white chocolate filling & crunchy rice crisps

Right now I am hiighhhhh on su-gaaaahhhh! Issh better than sex... Purrrrr...

Buildings of Note

On my way back from Midvalley yesterday, I drove around and visited a few places in KL I've been meaning to see... y'know, do the touristy thing even though I've been living here for nearly 10 years.

First stop:

The National Palace (Istana Negara)


Golden emblem

Our king's royal white house

So many tourists but ahhh I am clever!
I stand far far away to get the whole gate within the shot!

Royal guard at the royal gate

I am in charge of watching over the royal fence

Gold hibiscus wrought on royal marble wall

Royal lamp post with royal hanging pots

Well tended royal shrubs

Macro shot of royal blooms

On the way home by Jalan Duta, I turned in and drove around:

The Federal State Mosque (Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan)

From afar

From the front

From the side

Late at night

Last but not least... I found the KL Court Complex! Ho ho hoo...


Have a feeling I will be visiting this place again in the near future

Canton-I Restaurant

Sis came back from Penang for a visit today. So we went out for a nice lunch at this Hong Kong restaurant at One Utama.

Latticed exterior
(Yes my face is rounder... I've put on weight)

Lanterns... very oriental feel

Intricate and nicely contrasted walls

My order: Wanton soup with shrimp dumplings (Good!)

Pork fore shank and noodles (Picture taken by sis... not bad huh!)

Barley lemon (surprisingly delicious despite the boring concoction)

Cream mango sago (Highly recommended)

Thumbs up to all dishes. Noodles are cooked just right... not too soggy... what's the word - yes, SPRINGY! (like doink doink doink). My shrimp dumplings had good-sized juicy prawns mixed with tender minced pork, a bit salty but goes well with a mouthful of soupy wanton. The mango dessert is made up of pureed mango, generous helping of mango cubes and sago. I am a mango lover! Definitely will return to this shop for seconds. Heeheee... seems like I can't be a negative food critic because I enjoy eating out and so far no restaurant I've patroned has been below my expectations. All deserves glowing reviews. What can I say... I enjoy food!

Prison Break

Bambi escaped from her harness while going for a walk with Mum. LOL.
NEVER AGAIN! Mum declared.
Well. I wouldn't have tugged at her leash when she's having one of her rest stops. I guess that's the end of the cat's nightly excursions unless I take her out myself.
Ah... But I so lazy larrrr...

Bambi's Night Out

Recently took to walking the cat at night. Thought I would make her life more interesting and introduce some excitement to her little kitty day. I encourage curiousity and exploration! She looks forward to the excursions too :)

Have to wear harness first but dun look too happy about it

This is the corridor where we do our laps

Off she goes in a blur... I have to run to keep up with her

KPC at neighbour's door

KPC at neighbour's door 2

Tired... rest a while

Off she goes again!

KPC interesting hole in the ground

Tired again... I want to rest ok

Explore stairwell. It is a nice dusty place to lounge

Do you know why people take their dogs out for walks and not cats? Because it mostly involves standing still in one spot while waiting for Bambi to get up from her "rest". When nothing is happening seconds seem like minutes and minutes seem like hours. I usually end up carrying her back to the apartment. One night, I'd like to bring her out to the garden downstairs where we can sit together by the pool and relax. I hope lah. We'll see.

Little Bits of Happiness

I like...
Things that are pretty

Things that are shiny

Things that are yummy

Things that are still

Things that are tranquil

Things that are structured

Things that grow

Things that are warm

...and things that are furry and go purrr when it is happy!
