On Friday night, I went out with some friends for dinner, followed by a hand percussion show at KL Pac. The jam towards the makan place was horrendous, somehow we managed to detour and found ourselves in another branch of Lau Heong in Sentul Boulevard. The food there was good – but I prefer the other Lau Heong which I frequent for its curry stingray, seong tong lala, fried nam yue chicken wings and banana leaf buttered sotong.
The topic for conversation was about friends falling out. Sometimes after so many years, I guess one has to move on separately when their ideals are no longer shared, even among best of friends. Some friends might take for granted what you may have done for them. It would be too late then to apologize if things just go out of hand. I don’t believe in one sided friendship – where one friend taking initiative in doing all the work and being taken for granted that he or she would be assumed to be doing the same things in years to come.
Or in some instances, getting all the blame when things didn’t go according to plan or doing things against my wish; trying to please everybody. Even though I can be quite cold hearted at times, I don’t fancy getting guilt trips all the time. This has to be stopped and I swear, no one would pass me the buck should anything goes wrong from this moment on.
I am very sick and tired of it.
On the not so recent fuel hike, my colleague had a funny joke to share. She said, there is actually some good derived out of the fuel hike. I was perplexed and horrified with her remark.. My skeptical self said, “How so?! Name one good thing!”
She said, instead of doing 30 rounds looking for victims, now Mat Rempits go two rounds only.
LOL!! I am not sure how true is that, but she apparently read this report in the newspapers. Yeah.. like we believe in everything the paper said.
I am very sick and tired of the controlled media.
Yesterday, I went to a dinner to celebrate ML’s belated birthday at Datin’s after a long postponement. It was good to have met Datin after so long. Busy schedules and life detouring took center stage for the past few months.
With the fuel hike, we decided to go economical. We had a “home made” banana cake with chocolate frostings. Nah.. this is how the cake looked like. Haha! Not bad huh? I bought the cake, Datin made the chocolate frostings with cocoa powder and butter with vanilla and I helped to sprinkle the sugar pellets all over the cake. So.. it’s not entirely home made.. the banana cake was bought at Mydin for only RM2.65. Haha! Who says cheap things are no good?
On the way to Datin’s, there was a road block which took 20 minutes off my time. Bloody hell. The rally is today.. why on earth the police wanna do a road block one day before the rally??
Afterall the rally is going to be held at the Kelana Jaya Stadium and it’s gonna be a peaceful gathering. I wonder what’s wrong with the government to disallow freedom of speech for the rakyat to vent their frustrations in a controlled environment. Can those goons please send the police to do something useful? Like hauling up Mat Rempits, prevent my phone cable from being stolen for the 10th times, help those hapless people sold into vices, prevent snatch thieves, etc? There were so many things to do and all they wanna do is to have unnecessary police block to inconvenient road users.
I am so bloody pissed and sick of the government.

love the cake. it’s economical, special, creative and it tasted good! thanks for that. had the most happening birthday this year with few rounds of makan-makan but also the most depressing one with what’s happening in the country lately. out of the many birthday wishes made, only 1 is for myself and the rest have all gone to the country, the people and justice for altantuya. i wonder if the wishes will ever come true, but i still wish…

I’m amazed you can get any cake for less than RM15 these days… O inflation thy name is suffering o’ the kocek…

Yah, our ringgit doesn’t stretch very far these days…brings to mind what one opposition MP said in chinapek malay…”sikalang, lima pulu sen ..apa pun tak boleh buat…pergi toilet saja boleh”. Speaks volumes.

Kenny Mah: If you go grocery shopping almost 3x a week, you would know what is cheap and be a penny pincher!
