Occasional stay in home country....Malaysia...

Yawn and that's after 4 hours of nap on a rainy Sunday. Truth be told, I never slept so well before, particularly in recent months where everyone gotta worry about the F$%& ing meltdown happening in the whole damn world. Swearing aside, I felt good after the nap :) and surprisingly no migraine, YAY! Lazily I crawled out of bed, washed up and marched down to the foodie place around my condo...Geez, that's something sinful yet exciting and pleasurable when you stay in MLY...I am glad I got out of this sinful food heaven more than 9 years ago and go back once a month only for work.

Food aside, I still feel unsafe here...( Authorities, please buck up ) having had one of the most terrifying experience when I first moved into the company's rented condo which comes with two parking lots ( Unit No is clearly stated on the lot ). I was quite happy that now I can zipped to MLY with my 320i and it will be quite safe parking my car there as there are designated parking lots and I have TWO. Cutting the drama ( happened last Aug ) short, I discovered that both my four doors were scratched and two right tyres being slashed. The furious me went berserk, furious and keep asking why? Why my car, there are so many other luxury cars there too...Until today, I have not found any answers and obviously the culprit not caught. I was upset, really upset but today.... looking back, I was just glad that I am safe and learning to let go and and be less affected by materials matters in life....


I had a Murtabak for dinner tonight with my fav teh halia for RM 6.50 ( Chicken Murtabak ) RM 1.30 ( Teh Halia ). Food is relatively cheap here if you go to the right place of course. A similar meal in Penang Original Kayu would have cost at least RM 12 - RM 15. Anyway Bravo and Thumps Up for Penang Original Kayu for their branding and commercialization effort, making Penang proud.

In Love With Cuban luxury....

It has been at lest two weeks since I pen down my thoughts. Why? I was pre-occupied by the temptations in life...men, sinful yet exciting hobbies ...yes I pick up cigar on the 5th day of CNY 09. In fact smoking is not new to me, having taste cigarettes while I am still in mom's tummy. Mom still continues to smoke today but me and my younger brother did not pick up smoking until the day when my "noti" emotions took over me. Brother is still pure and untouched by the nicotine : ).

My first cigar was a Ramon Specially Selected (SS) @ The Olde Cuban and it is an aged cigar kept by DY who is obviously is the culprit behind my excitement for cigars. I was worried that I might make a fool out of myself since cigar is touted to be one of the rich man's hobbies and a luxury enjoyment and to make it worse, I have always thought the cigar is a man thing, you know what I mean. Never imagine myself putting that long and huge stuff in my mouth...Ewwwweee it looks awful...my inner self was telling me. I succumbed to the temptations had my first puff and in less than 5 mins my second and the rest was history.... ( not that long history though as I just started for less than 3 weeks ). Curious to know more about cigars saw me doing frantic research on the web, trying to learn more about this luxury culture from the west which is slowly creeping to the east.

Cigar @ 1st

A cigar is a tightly rolled bundle of dried and fermented tobbaco which is ignited so that its smoke may be drawn into the smoker's mouth. The native inhabitants of the islands of the Caribbean Sea, Mesoamerica and Mexico have smoked cigars since as early as the 10th century. To date, there were only mentioned about the rich and famous from the west and their love for cigars. Rich people are often caricatured as wearing top hats and tux and smoking cigars. Cigars are often smoked to celebrate special occasion. As Rudyard Kipling said in his poem The Betrothed, "A woman is only a woman: but a good cigar is a smoke."

Keep Smoking.....
