Now I can watch porn in HD

Serious! I'm not joking!

I "accidentally" brought home a new toy which I have been eyeing for quite a while.. The last time I bought a TV was in 2006 when I moved into my own home.. 10 years later, I decided to change the TV.. The current one I will bring it back to Ipoh.. 

Unboxing it for the first time at the store

Acting only.. Fixing the stand cos apparently the wall mount hooks can't fit

Finally done fixing the stand

DONE! I really hope the mount cabinet can support the TV.. if not.....

So now everyone can watch porn in high definition.. by everyone, I mean me myself :)

A belated Christmas present for myself, because nobody buys me any presents anyway, so I buy my own.. and when I do, it's always big ticket items.. 

Malaysian Politicians says the dumbest things

Our brainless minister tells us to work 2 jobs to keep up with the rising living costs.. Essentially he is telling us the Barisan Nasional has fail..

Move aside.. Bitch please.. I work 5 jobs and I still find it hard to survive..

Apart from my day full time job by profession, I am a group exercise instructor.. I am also a business owner.. I am also a graphic designer by training.. I also teaches swimming.. 

If that is not enough, I'm a full time boyfriend.. It's takes a lot of effort to make relationships work, you know? 

So you see, ENCIK AHMAD MASLAN, what do you know about working 3 jobs? Which by virtue, you are tasked these positions not because you can't survive, that's YOUR primary responsibility as a federal minister.. You can always reject and say no and balik kampung cook your nasi goreng GST-free.. 

Shut up okay, you do not know what we rakyat feel.. 

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

All the good wishes from me to you, thanks for keeping on reading my boring blog (who still blogs anyway..)

What will my birthday trip costs me?

I usually go away for my birthday either before or after..

In 2015, I went to Jakarta and bunked with my friend who's expat there, had a driver and spent the weekend there without a single fuck given... and being driven around like a boss... Shopped a bit, went for a clean massage and spent the rest of the time eating.. Was good to finally been to a new city..

Next year, I am repeating my stint.. I've decided to go to Phnom Penh.. Why? Because it's cheaper than Siem Reap by half.. and I am not interested in ancient ruins, so I don't see any reason to go to Siem Reap, yet..

I just wanna step foot onto Cambodian soil and smell the dirty air, the laid back 4th world country and just chill in the pool.. After all, I can haz some me-time, right?

So how much exactly am I incurring for my trip?

Let's see.. for 2 nights in Arthur and Paul, the only clothing-optional (gay) men-only hotel in Phnom Penh - that's about US$100 a night which I shamelessly asked and received a room upgrade thanks to the boss as a birthday present, and then another night in Rambutan Resort deluxe pool room, that sets me back US$80, which comes to total of about US$280 for 3 nights.. My Malaysia Airlines ticket costs me about RM457, adding it all up, I should be looking to spend around RM1,700 for my holiday, not including expenses.. And I am going to use my Enrich miles to upgrade to business class, cos I have tens of thousands of miles unused and kept expiring..

Arthur And Paul

Arthur and Paul is actually my first choice for it's appeal, with complimentary access to the simple sauna for hotel guests.. I've always wanted to stay in a clothing-optional men-only hotel where I don't need to worry about bringing many clothes.. Tanning in the nude is also lovely but I want my tan lines! I don't know what to expect but I think I will greatly enjoy my stay, even though it's just for 2 nights..

Arthur And Paul

That will also save me some money into actually being in a sauna yet not going/paying for one.. Since it is also a public access sauna for the public in Arthur and Paul..

I foresee that I'll be spending a lot of time out of the room and lounge at the pool with drinks and all, naked if I will, hehe.. So it's time that I need to look good in the buff haha...

As for Rambutan Resort, I am having the Deluxe Pool room with private balcony overlooking the pool.. and oh did I mention about the outdoor bathtub? I am happy with that.. The staff have scored brownie points accommodating my requests.. Probably just lazing in the bathtub on the balcony is good enough for me.. I guess..

Sadly it's not clothing-optional, nor is it men-only.. but I sure hope to see hotties..

I think I am rather okay with this.. Since if I were to go Bangkok, I'll spend half this amount but expenses will surely be higher.. and I won't have a room with an outdoor bath or walk around the hotel sans clothes if I want to.. right?

A little of this cost is offset by the US Dollars balance that I have in my Paypal, which is income from Rainbow Designs.. I've been really too busy to do much work for Rainbow Designs, only to keep it afloat so that I still have some small passive income..

What else should I do/see in Phnom Penh? Don't ask me to eat tarantulas and spiders, I'll smack you!

Review: Jamie's Italian at Forum Shopping Centre, Orchard Road

Renowned celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has another restaurant on Orchard Road in Forum Shopping Centre - Jamie's Italian, an addition to the other one in Vivocity.. 

Reservations required as the chances of getting a table walking in is very low.. My family made a booking last Saturday morning and only managed to get a table for the next day at 2030hrs.. 

So, what's so great about Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant? 

Let me share some insight with you..

Reservation was spot-on as the table was released to us at exactly the slot time.. A little tip here, refuse a table near the cooking stations or you'll feel the heat (not to mention, smell).. They seriously have a problem with either their table arrangements or the ventilation/air-conditioning needs to be reworked.. 

Food - please only order Italian food from an Italian restaurant.. Word has it that "normal" Western dishes doesn't make the cut, only the Italian selection.. hence, you can't go wrong with the usual suspects - the pastas and pizza.. But by all means, go for the pork chop, it's tender and juicy and great for sharing.. 

Service - Did they just hire school kids? Where's the manners? Where's the service!? Well, don't, please don't have any expectation on the service.. They sucks here.. They don't even say thank you when you pay the bill.. they let the receipt say thank you cos it's written on it.. 

Like dafuck.

Our family of 4 dined for SGD167 for a super-yucky garlic "flatbread", pizza, a pork chop and a pasta, kid's meal (spaghetti) for my nephew, "funky" chips (none other than just oil-soaked fries), rose wine for myself, an apple mojito and a tiny glass of "fresh" juice that obviously isn't fresh.. And yeah, sky juice is also chargeable.. 

How tiny the juice glass is.. for SGD7.50.. My rose wine was okay but pricey..

Garlic flatbread - that's recommended by the waitress - which doesn't taste anything like a garlic bread should..
More like a plain garlic pizza.. SGD13!

Pork chop.. It's huge.. SGD40

Rigatoni pasta.. I think it was SGD20 or so.. 

9-in pizza.. Also about SGD30

Will I go again? No. 

Am I disappointed? Yes, clearly. So I've left my comments in Tripadvisor (as I always do with establishments)..

A man's poison may be another's meat

Folks - let's just think rationally, what might be halal for you may not necessary be halal to others, and vice versa! So can we just cut the crap and stop all these? Exercise caution, if you're doubtful then don't use/consume etc. By keeping on spewing comments and all just shows how insensitive you are towards others and their needs.

Stop it already okay, just stop, everyone! The general population has no problems with one another, it's just some people who loves to spew hatred.. While I respect my Muslim friends by not putting my pork purchases into the common trolley, even when they are tied and all wrapped up in bags upon bags, and not eating pork in the office anyhow and regardless, I expect others to also respect the sensitiveness of the rests as well.. Just because you consume beef doesn't mean others are okay with it.. We just live and let live.. That's how the society lives in harmony.. We don't create an issue out of nothing.. Look, we don't even ask for non-beef trolleys..

I'm just stating a fact because otherwise soon, everyone wants their own version of things..

Let me remind you - beef is non-halal to me NOT because of religion (I am not even one heck of a Buddhist) but because anything stained or touched by cow produce (eg beef) or even its fat can land me in the emergency room from anaphylactic shock. Trust me, I've been there before. 

Too deep to understand? It's very simple.. Severe to life-threatening allergic shock. My food cannot be contaminated with beef at all costs..

Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. It can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to something you're allergic to, such as a peanut or the venom from a bee sting.

The flood of chemicals released by your immune system during anaphylaxis can cause you to go into shock; your blood pressure drops suddenly and your airways narrow, blocking normal breathing. Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis include a rapid, weak pulse, a skin rash, and nausea and vomiting. Common triggers of anaphylaxis include certain foods, some medications, insect venom and latex.

Anaphylaxis requires an immediate trip to the emergency department and an injection of epinephrine. If anaphylaxis isn't treated right away, it can lead to unconsciousness or even death.

It's the same case you don't give peanuts to people who's allergic to peanuts, serve seafood to people who's allergic to seafood, for me, I am allergic to cow produce.. It's that simple.. You can simply murder people by giving them things they are allergic to!

You want to have steamboat with me? Fine, we'll have our own pots. Just don't poke your spoon/fork into my pot because your spoon is non-halal to me..

So tell me, who has a more serious case?  Seesh.

KLIA Express costs RM55 per way

From Jan 1, KLIA Express (ERL) ticket price will be increased by 57% to RM55 per way, up from currently RM35.

At the current price, it is already quite pricey, what more after the increase. And mind you, it is always full because of the low frequency and high passenger loads going to/from klia2. Chances are you have to stand all the way. 

Stupid isn't it?

For comparison purposes, a metered-taxi and KLIA Limo costs roughly RM65-75 into KL and nearby, door-to-door, albeit a journey that takes 45mins - 1 hour compared to 30 minutes (plus max 20 mins waiting time for the train).

Bus costs about RM10, and journey time roughly 1 hour to various stops around KL.
