Synopsis:

Left Office around 6:45pm after doing some nonsense stuff at cube. I am forced to ride my housemate 'dilapitated' bike back to my apt as i was the one rode the bike to office couple of weeks ago. Since i am not familiar with the choke and the petrol flow setting, i just rode the bike using the back road. The bike stalled whenever i stop at the traffice lights. I manage to pump petrol at Petronas but the air pump was not functioning. I though i will reach home on time but the day is not stand by my side. The bike start moving like drunken kia. I know i have to stop as the tyre just lost its last breath.

In panic i call 'SOS' to my housemate to fetch me back as i have to rush for my date with 'JC & Mary' at 8pm. I think God is watching me as help came. A motor repair guy happen to be passing around and helping me to change the tyre tube and pump both tire. He even tell me how to set the petrol and choke. I feel so dumbfolded. He charged me RM15. Thats is way too expensive but what to do when it is in emergency?

Manage to reach home only at 7:30pm. I just drop my stuff at home and rush to Church with JP racing his Waja. By the time we reach HSC, Way of the Cross prayer already at the 4th station. We missed the first 3 station prayers. I have to move front to back, left to right to see the projector slides as we are seated at the last row and the CNY decoration in the Chatheral blocking the slides. The Way of the Cross and the subsequent Mass finished around 9pm.

JP & I took our dinner at Pulau Tikus Market Eatery place around 9:45pm. We ordered 2 plates of Char Kuey Teow and 4 glasses of Soya drink. The food is so so and not really filling. JP ordered extra 1 otak otak but i guess the taste is sucks as he only took 2 bite of it. The atmosphere was enlighted with a freelance singer singing multi language songs. I guess none of the old aunties and ahpek appreciate his songs as they were busy kiasuing their lok lok. After Jason came and have his soya drink, we left to WC Condo for a visit.

We asked the condo guard to escort us so that he can open the door for us to the escalator. The entrance to each building is equipped with the security system. A person need to have the smart card in order to enter and exit the place. JT play with baby Janice while we chat with WC. I didnt dare to hold baby Janice as she is only 4month old. After a while, we played 'siambalak' with Jackies and frens. I was blur from the start to the end. Thats explain why i lost RM20. That is small amount but it is the first time in i gamble during CNY. Too many things are broken during this lent season. I shall replace them after Easter and hope God forgive me.

As the nite still young, 3 of us head for drink. We parked the car at the parking area which cost us RM5 per entry. What a blood sucking place. After scouting for place to drink, we settle down at Segafredo. We seated outside in the open air with nice 'scenery'. Manage to see pretty chicks, brainless chick with dog, shemale, pickpocket etc. What a day! We engaged conversation with the tall and 'pity' waitress. She told us that she is an 18-yr-old beautician and grads from school at 15. I am not sure whether she though we are drunk or dumb. Anyway, we left the place around 2am after long chit chat.

I only have my sleep around 4am after taking cold refreshing shower. Tomorrow i need to wake up early for sport.

Synopsis:

I manage to wake up around 9am and prepare for sport. JP and I reached N-Park around 10:05am for the 2hrs badminton session. Surprisingly this time there are 15 ppl came to play with only 1 court. I manage to play 3 games while most of them only 2 games. The waiting time is killing everybody. JY tried to book extra court but there is no court available. We have to utilize only 1 court until end of March. Hopefully there will be 2 courts to use in future.

After the badminton session, we went to have our lunch at USM cafe. The entrance is watch by 2 guards. It is rather unusual but we manage to enter to the cafe. The cafe is quit quite with only 5 of us heating the atmosphere.

We went to fetch CK after dropping our gears and clean up at my apt. manage to sneak out for cold coconut drink at the road side on the way to town. Thanks to the confusing furniture shop map, we end up in unknown places. I made few calls to ask direction. At the end, we found the shop by pure luck. There are lot of furnitures in wescourt but the handwork quality is not that good. What do you expect with that kind of pricing?

We also stop by at PISA to 'look look see see' the furnitures in the shop. The quality of the furnitures is good but pricy. One good deal is that for every RM1K spent, they will give RM500 voucher. This is only valid till end of March 2007. I am keen on the Japanese bed but it will burn a hole in my pocket.

As we will go to KK house for CNY visit, we stop by at Sunshine to buy 'Kam' and 'Ong Lai'. I think that is a good 'buah tangan' cos it means gold and good fortune coming. As per plan, there will be lots of ppl coming but only 4 of us pay a visit to KK's in his house. For the first 10mins, we were watching NBA replay match and munching nuts and goodies. After a while, we start the Siambalak card games. HS reluctantly became the banker. My luck was really good as i keep on winning with many double, 1 triple and 1 fiple. But at the end i nearly lost. Luckily i still win RM5.

HS, KC, JP and I headed for dinner at Golden Bayan around 8pm. We ordered 3 dishes comprising of Groupe Fish, Vege and Bean Curd. The food is so so but the price is unbelievable. It is not worth to eat here with that kind of price to pay.

By the time we reach home. JP auto 'hibernating' at the couch before making up his bed to sleep. It is a very tiring day. We been out since morning.

Synopsis:

I lazily woke up at 6:10am and prepare for the early morning Mass. TE, BL, JP and I reached just about when the Mass started. HH & MH sat with us at the same row too. As usual, i have trouble to stay alert during the early morning Mass. I constantly fighting with my sleepiness in order to listen to the readings and sermon.

After the Mass, Its time for breakfast. 4 of us decided to go to the Dim Sum near the SEC around Queensbay Mall. They have discount promotion which make the price almost the same as the other Dim Sum eatery place. The porridge is rich and the dim sum is good. Just nice to fill the hungry stomach.

I doze off for few hrs after the breakfast. Still sleepy and tired of yesterday outing. By 12:30pm, BL, JP and I went to Cambell Street and meet up with Jason for lunch. The dark sauce siu nyiuk is tasty and fatty. The assam fish is fresh and spicy. The vege is only enuf for me alone with that small portion, The tauhu is undeniably good. After the lunch, we went for our dessert: Penang Road Teo Chew Cendol. It is revitalizing in such a hot weather. But i noticed that the price has went up to RM1.50 per bowl.

After a short stop at my apt, we dashed off to fetch CK for furniture hunting again. But JP's car got flat rear left tire and we only notice when we reached at KC's house. These 3 engineer tried hard to figure out how to change the tyre. after 15mins of trying, we still unable to take off the flat tire. Oh well, lets the tyreman do his job tomorrow then. We continue our journey with KC's beloved car and get coconut drink.

I am impressed with gcfurniture kitchen design but the bedroom furniture is not what i am looking for. Of course, the price for good kitchen design come with high price which i think i need to think many many times. I am thinking...why am i indulge in this? Renovation, furnitures, electrical appliances and other stuff for the house will cost me almost half of the unit cost. Maybe i have to start selling my 'chicken bishop head' to get those $$. hahahah...Just joking.

JP left for home around 6:30pm. WM, JW, JC, Leo, LS, SW, XS, KL&BF, LS&BF, Wil, CN and me went to Jelutong for dinner. They ordered 7 dishes complete with my favourite dish...:). The food is very satisfying but dry. We went to buy 1 bottle of Chardonay for SJ as we will go to her house for visit.

In SJ house, we play chinese version Torat cards. 1 card can predict 4 categories including career and love. I am quit blur with the explaination but some i have to take note as it really predict what my situation now. To believe or not, It is just a game. I will take note but not too fanatic about it. We mould our own future and fate is in our own hands.

As today is the last day of CNY (元宵节), we walked to Kek Lok Si Temple near SJ house to take a glimpse of the beautifully lighted temple. Manage to snap few pics of the temple before we headed home.
