The Cosmic Wise and Crappy Words

weekends

Friday night, I tried the Waroeng Penyet at The Curve after some rave reviews about the place (I guess mostly because of the name). It was okayla. Me and Suzie had the penyet set and Muid had the Bakso. Mona ordered something which look rojak or pasembur but she said it didn't taste as good as the one she had in Jakarta. I shall take her word on that because she lived there for a whole year so most probably she has tasted the best one of that dish. Later we head to Borders for sis to get some books and to Laundry to drink our sorrows away. Well, we didn't because we don't have any sorrows. Hahaha. A bunch of successfully (or nearly successful) yuppies and sorrows, doesn't really rhyme well does it?


Well, sis shared a story that she heard from her mom that a lady nearly got attacked in her car but thanked god she didn't because once she got into the car, she quickly locked her door while the guys started to try to open her car door. That was freaky. I'm glad the lady is safe and it has been quite a paranoia everytime I enter my (now unused) car to quickly lock it even before I start to breathe in the car. All you ladies out there beware ok. Quickly enter your vehicle and lock all doors. Don't get busy putting in your things at the passenger seat or whatever. Butt In, Door Lock!

Saturday was a very lazy day for me. My whole family joined my sister and her family including her parents-in-law for lunch at the old Selangor Mansion in Jalan Masjid India.


Its pretty much a very old school sight, thanked god I had my camera with me. I think the place never left the 90s. My brother in law, a true mamak, ordered ducks (Egyptian ducks that can fly, as told by brother-in-law), birds and mutton and me, a true Malay, overdosed with all the heavy eating, got home and slept the entire afternoon. Woke up at 7pm and started to feel so drowsy. Managed to clean up before our first {dmp} meet-up at Bestari Hartamas for the upcoming Urbanscapes. Am so psyched with the new team, adding Faris, Fozy, Prakash, Nadirah and Venn to the existing Muid, Perez and myself. I am most psyched and excited for Nadi who will have her debut Malaysian exhibition through this while she's still in the Big Apple. Nadi babe, my faith in your talent is to the extend that one day, I'll see your pictures in your own solo exhibition in New York. This is what I call a true great photographer, and knowing Nadirah as a great friend, she'll be a pride to Malaysia one day. Anyways, I got to write 2 new writings for the exhibition there. Went back home, edited and scanned some pictures, upload them on Facebook and Flickr and slept at 4am.

I had a great photowalk last Sunday with a couple of friends. First, Shaf thought that a photowalk would be a great thing for the weekend, which ignited my senses and suggested Jalan Ipoh. Upon inviting some few others, I met Shafina early Sunday morning at Jalan Ipoh near Damai Medical Centre because both of us took the bus from our homes. We started walking there towards Chow Kitt then towards Jalan TAR before we decided to see how Asian Heritage Row looks like post Saturday night. It was pretty weird to see the empty street of clubs and pubs and funny to hear the loud boombastic songs coming from the only mamak restaurant there, Buharry (somewhat like Burberry eyh?).

We waited for the guys to join us and later we had Muid, Prakash and Ripi for lunch. Right after we continued walking back, Suzie joined us for her first photowalk with the KLickrs (well, at least a few KLickrs that is). We started to roam Jalan Dang Wangi, back to Jalan Sultan Ismail up until Bukit Bintang. Bumped into Kazzie and Ali and one of her South African friends at Sg Wang Plaza and then with Afiq and his sister at KL Plaza. We stopped by Starbucks Pavilion to rest our feet and chit chat before everyone took the monorail back to Medan Tuanku since the cars are parked at Jalan Doraisamy.

Kaki Series: group photo.

Walking from 9.30am until 6.30pm. Thats quite a long walk. Well, probably minus 3 hours at Buharry and 1.5 hours at Starbucks. But it was great fun and I can't wait to upload them photos. I got back, had a huge tiger prawn curry dinner and did some exercise with my 1.25kh dumbbell before I dive in bed. Slept pretty early.

This weekend, we shall toast to victory and the start to many new things. Am so happy lots of personal friends decided to come, and meeting lots of new friends as well.

Hilang 3. Dapat 30. Yang 3 ketul tu, biarlah mereka bertiga ketul sahaja. Ye, saya gila berkawan. At least saya tak ditch kawan saya, tipu mereka, lead them to false assumptions or go behind their backs. Sebab tu saya boleh achieve tambah 30 kawan. Hahahahaha. Yes, I'm vicious and a bitch. Who's not?
