sen wise or foolish?

we were at a very popular kopitiam franchise in USJ, taipan... we ordered a basket of curry puffs...

it arrived...

in the basket... costing us RM2.60 (before tax), were 2 very very extremely small curry puffs which did not taste fantastic... nor looked fantastic...

why why... why would anybody order that ever again?? ... why would anybody allowed that to remain the menu. whatever happened to value for money??????

ho chi minh

waded through 1 feet of boogerized water, weaving through bikes and cars and buses, in the rain, covered in a plastic sheet, to get to rum and raisin ice cream...

had super yummy vietnamese fare consisting of a variety of rice cakes, pho ("fer"), vietnamese coffee, beef steaks, wan tan noodles (ok... that's chinese) with humongous wan tans, sanwiches with beefy floss, ....

checked out the hcm post office which was super huge and had telephone booths which are air conditioned! and nice looking tiled floor...

swam in ocean, ate yummy fresh sweet steamed? crab on Vung Tau beach, then ate (again) yummy food in a beautifully landscaped place overlooking the sea... called binh an ("peace")

ate yummy fresh shrimp on rice flour cake fried in lots of oil, sitting on short short stools

saw handicapped ppl made amazing looking lacquer ware with egg shells! and mother of pearl...loved the USD3300 partition.... so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

waddled through a tiny tiny tunnel, used by guerilla during vietnam war, which resulted in achy thigh muscles for the subsequent 3 days

massage and pampered from head to toe in an amazing spa called dragon's nest, under very trained and practised hands... with rosemary scented oil...so nice...

met nice new friends sim (from hcm) and rie (from japan)

had vietnamese fare in Gold Fish with waiters who were speaking to us in japanese, and we (malaysians) replying in vietnamese and japanese, together with a pretty japanese girl who speaks to waiters in japanese and to us in english.... so globalised...

lost in Melaka. last seen taken by chinese man in blue kancil.

air so fresh

it's nice looking out from the balcony, fresh air, light drizzle, green green trees, misty faraway.... (though it might be haze!) so rare nowadays.

i remember a time when i would wake up in the morning. my mom would take us (monster and i) to the garden opposite my house. we would walk around the garden, smell the fresh air, poke at the snails and touch-me-nots, surrounded by tiny sunflowers....

all that, no more....

road trip

this is an interesting road trip. inspiring...

what is it that women look for???

gosh... if i'm a man, i would have just retreat into a cave in the remotest lands in sarawak and meditate. that would have been easier than being a man in places where are there are women. because then, due to basic instincts, i would then fall for one, and have to figure her out!! figure out what she's looking for, what she's thinking of...

then again, a man don't really have to figure the woman out. i suppose if it's that difficult, it's not meant to happen?? afterall, most of the men out there probably have not done so! or is still in the process of trying?? or have already figured out that it is never going to happen.. ?


or are there are men out there, who would like to claim to have figured us out?? :)

mclaren

i'm racing my virtual mini cooper... because my brain is doing it's daily debate with the rest of the organs as to whether i should go to the gym.

my virtual mini is now ranked number 8. it's climbing very painstakingly slowly... but surely! :) it's a very very boring game. not unlike those rpg games where upon a click of the mouse, little graphic martial arts person walk up to another little graphic martial arts person, slash/ kick/ punch the fella and then u wait. u wait for the other little graphic martial arts person to retaliate. and it goes on and on as u progress through the various levels.... in search of ... i dunno... a sword maybe???

does not require thinking really. no difficult hand eye coordination kinda maneuver... just clicking and waiting for pages to load...

but i want my mclaren. so i play...
