RIP

A fully utilised Sunday, that's what today was like. But everything just went with the flow as I did not plan for today to be as exciting as this.

Well, not quite exciting. Something fishy has gone on in my fish bowl today. All my fishes have died suddenly without any known reasons. At 4 in the morning, they were all normally swimming in the bowl and the next thing I know, three have died. It was really upsetting because they were all fine before this. The final fish joined the others later in the afternoon and that's the end of my responsibility as a fish owner.

Sometimes I wonder whether it is any different to take care of a cat instead of fishes. I have dreamt about petting a cat and only waiting for the right opportunity to realise my dream. But after this experience, I fear that I may only manage to keep the cat alive for just more than two weeks. And somehow to kill a cat is more scary looking than to kill some small fishes.

Worries put aside. Earlier, I took my brother for some games of bowling. We managed to attract some attention from this middle aged lady on the next lane who seemed so impressed with my brother's bowling skills. Once he scored a strike (he has the potential to be better than me, who is surprised?) and the lady pointed to my brother and said to her friends, "Oooh, did you guys see that? That little boy just scored a strike!". It also took me by surprise because the ball he threw often hit the side barriers which prevent the ball to enter the longkang, making a zig zag line and finally hit the pins at the centre and knocked all ten pins! Some luck. Whereas, I have sprained my wrist (which I nearly called my ankle!) while I was throwing the disgustingly oily bowling ball.

Because I am very very particular about my physique, I decided to run around the park just before breaking fast. I then only realised how much energy I had when I was fasting and it was not impressive at all. Try doing sit ups when your stomach is empty. You'd stop doing it after the fifth time because you'd be embarassed that your empty stomach is singing out loud while you are struggling with the sit ups.

And here I am still working on my new physical challenge which has yet to be revealed.

Happy Merdeka Malaysia

For a week now, I have been looking for a place which sells halal dim sum. I searched high and low and tried to avoid settling for hotel restaurants to fulfil my usual food craving. Two days ago with the miracles of the internet, I discovered a restaurant called Yum Cha in Plaza Damas does what I want.

Hence yesterday, I went to check the place out before the 50th Merdeka countdown. Hartamas was surprisingly quiet unlike any other places around the city last night. I was very excited to look for Yum Cha until a phone call confirmed the closure of this halal dim sum place. Sigh.

As much as I was dissappointed, this girl's stomach needed to be satisfied with the next best thing. Warong Aji-Don Alley was recommended and thankfully the food was quite satisfying. I ordered the last 10 chicken satay and that completed the first round of the restaurant hopping night.


My current favourite midnight blog is masak-masak which does food reviews and cats entries. A picture of a unusual french toast caught my eyes and since then I'd always wanted to try it out. Finally yesterday for the second round of the restaurant hopping night, I headed to Spicy Kitchen in Desa Sri Hartamas to check out their apparently-famous Roti Bakar Telur Cheese.


I would have smacked the nearest person to me if Spicy Kitchen was also shut down. That person was lucky because Spicy Kitchen was very much alive with many customers to serve. The waiters were all big sized and probably were all imported from India.

Anyway, the verdict. Roti Bakar Telur Cheese was amaaaaazingly delicious. My tongue could taste a variety of flavours from the cheesey taste to the sweetness of the french toasts. I was thinking of the O word again, and I think this was much better than the combination of Hugh Grant and Haagen-Dazs Coffee flavoured ice cream.

It was a sinful night, considering the amount of the F word consumed.

On a completely different story, at 10.35am today I started becoming responsible for 4 innocent lives. This morning I bought 2 pairs of moon fish from the market and I am definitely being observed by my family now as they want to see how long these will keep breathing. I guess one will say, "Takdo kojo, cari kojo".


Let us welcome Nana, Nini, Nono and Nunu Harry, Hermoine, Ron and Voldemort in the house. Woot woot.
