Speedzone @ Genting

I watched Clash of The Titans on Friday night. Well... more like Saturday morning as it was the 1am show. Obviously I was pretty tired the next day. But I still got up early as I had was cooking lunch for me mates. Spent the morning cooking, went out for desert, and yam'ed char with Dans and his wifey. Slept in the evening to charge myself up so that I won't be too knackered for the Genting trip.

Jules asked me if I was interested to go to Genting for the Rave party on Saturday. As I was looking forward to hanging out with my homies, I duly agreed. Waited for Jules, his colleague Suet and Ee Shoon to arrive. We were all meeting up at my house as I was gonna be the one who is driving up to Genting. Debs was suppose to come to my house as well but she said "Pick me up lar... Its on the way". Well Debs... Not really. But you're the queen mar. Pick mar pick lor.

After picking Debs up, we made our way to Genting. As we were not really hungry, we decided to makan in Gotong Jaya. I took them to the restaurant me and my dad usually eat at. Quite sometime back, my dad and I were going to Genting every weekend. That was when we were on a winning streak. But since our luck eluded us, we have stopped going up to Genting. During dinner, we had some beer as the Rave party does not serve liquor. Jules and Ee Shoon also brought some Vodka and mixers. We took the tumbler down with us to the restaurant and loaded it up with ice. After dinner, we drove up to Genting in search of a parking spot.

After we parked the car, we stood in front of the car to chat and finish up the drink. We basically drank a bottle of vodka between 4 of us. Suet doesn't drink so she just stood around and layan us. We drank and chatted. Tissa (who got us VIP passes) was wondering where we were. He called Ee Shoon when we first got a parking spot and she told him we just parked. An hour later, he calls her again and asked her where we were. She told him we were still at the car park. Hehehe... What to do, we need to finish our drink mar. If not how to layan the music. So basically we were drinking the Vodka from the tumbler and passing it around like a peace pipe. The drink worked as we were feeling pretty good.

We made our way to the open air rave party. I went to a similiar Speedzone event last year but that was indoor. This outdoor event is much better. With a strong breeze and cool temperature, it was actually really nice. We walked around a bit and just layan'ed the music. We also went to the booth which we were allowed in, thanks to Tissa's passes and got our free drinks. After chilling for a while, I got a bit gatal and went to the casino. It's like I know what the end result is gonna be. But Chinese me tells myself I have to go. Jules chips in 50 bucks hoping that I'll win some $$$ back. Well... we all know the end result... I lost. So I will officially be having Maggi Mee for lunch for the remainder of the month.

By 4am, we were ready to leave. Jules told us that Hwe and his friends rented an apartment in Ria and that Hwe has been calling us for the past dunno how many hours, asking us to drop by. So we drop by at Ria to chills with him for a while. When we get there, his friends were gambling. So Chinese me joins them. We played Texas Hold'Em. But it was pretty much a friendly game lar. So no big gambling going on there. I played and won a bit. By the time we wanted to go back to PJ, it was already 6 plus.

We had to drop Debs back home first. On the way to her place, I stop at the Dim Sum shop and buy some Har Kau and Siew Mai. 3 plates of each. That set me back 18 bucks. After dropping Debs back, the sun was already up. I sped home and had some of the Dim Sum. After my bath, it was 7.40am. Tired gila. Old man liau... can't take all this crazy late nights. Overall, had a blast. If only I won some money instead of donating it to Uncle Lim.


Just parked the car.

In a jovial mood. We're ready to partay....

Debs loading up on Vodka. It was kinda leaking, so she had to drink with this pose in order not to get her baju all soaked in Vodka.

This is to make sure we remebered where we parked.

Cool and breezy... nice.

Debs looks like she's freezing.

Debs with her usual Ah Lian pose.

To be honest... I don't remember who is he. I think he's Debla's friend.

At the tent chilling with our free Red Bulls.

Everyone seems to have a wet hair look. No.. it's not intentional. It was kinda wet and damp up there.

The passes which Tissa got us. Thanks dawg...

We both struggled to make our way to the event location. We were panting after climbing the steep slope. Well... at least it was steep for us both lar.

We had a blast. The potential Colgate advert pic tells it all.

No Expectations

How long has it been since the Dons drank as if there is no tomorrow? Too long I must say. It was a night with no expectations. Su Lee was back from SG and she and Debs were chilling at Sid's in TTDI. Debs called me at about 6 ish asking me to drop by. I was having dinner with me parents & sister in 1U. So I told her I'll come over at 8 plus. After dinner, I went home, changed, switched my laptop on, and went to http://www.magnum4d.com.my/ to see if I could possibly make millions without work. Sadly.. the answer is no. I have not been working for 11 months now and spending money on buying numbers should be the last thing I should do. But this is the one Chinese side of me that I still can't get rid of. Anyways... not kena-ing number is proof that I shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

So I get to Sid's at about 8.30pm. Su Lee and Debra are there with a guy. Initially, I though he was their kenalan. So okay lar.. I frenly frenly to him also lar. Mana tahu.. he's actually a stranger whom they just met in Sid's. When he went back to his fren's table and the gals told me he's actually a stranger, I was like... "What the Fuck wei". Anyways... later in the night, I actually saw him outside the toilet. He nodded to me and I ignored him. Not that I purplely ignore him lar. But I was looking kinda to the side and I saw him nod. But not like I'm gonna bother calling him and talk to him right. Fucking stranger wei. The Dons start arriving one by one. Vince arrived first, followed by Tissa and Ee Shoon. Jules was the last to arrive. There were 2 other guys.. I think Debra's prens lar. I was telling them jokes. But to be honest... I don't remember their names. So it was pretty much the standard stuffs lar. Everyone downing Guinness and me telling jokes. Vincent was like my P.A. that night... helping me remember jokes which I have forgotten about. We make a good team brother.

By midnight (I think), Su Lee was bising-ing about having Fatman Steamboat. With the extra 50 bucks from the change we got from Sid's, we marched to Fatman and started ordering. We were eating there and also tah pau-ing for the Gashaus session later. BBQ Pork Belly and Bacon was the order of the day. The bill came out to be 60 plus. So I paid the guy and we made our pretty sober asses over to Gashaus.

I was on pretty good form that day. I think I must have had like 6 pints of Guinness at Sid's. Gashaus told us they have limited edition bottles of Glenfiddich. 350ml bottles for 125 bucks each. So basically if we order 2, we'll get 700ml (50 less than the usual Whisky bottles) for 250 bucks. Considering it's single malt, that's not a bad price. We don't really care if it's limited edition bottles. All we want is the content. By the way... no one brought the empty bottles home anyways.

2 bottles became 4 later in the night/ early in the morning. We were breakdancing and doing moonwalks. We were also doing some bar tricks. The one where you put a dollar note in between 2 bottles and try to pull it out without dropping the bottle that's on top. Drunk asses are drunk asses. Everything seemed so amusing then. With every successful attempt, everyone would give out a loud cheer. But I guess that's what alcohol does to you. We are like children once again, easily amused. Damn I love that feeling. We eventually leave Gashaus at 5 plus in the morning. The bill came. 500 for the whisky and 22 bucks for ciggies. With a 10% service charge and 5% goverment tax, we had to fork out an additional 80 bucks. I told Su Lee... (in a very Chinese accent) 500 hundred for whisky... 20 bucks for ciggy... and 80 bucks service charge. Su Lee was like.. "What? 80 bucks service charge ar? WHAT SERVICE?" Har har... Although they did not do much for us, the staff did stay back till 5 plus in the morning and wait for us to drag our drunk asses out of Gashaus. So... give lar. Need to give one... Hehehe....

This is the 1st time I have had a hardcore drinking session with the Dons in a long time. Tissa suggested we do this maybe once a month or once every 3 weeks. If it's always gonna be this fun (which we know it definitely will be), count my ass in.


The Ah Lian side of Debs comes out.

The Dons. We never fail to have a great time. The best drinking buds ever.

And not forgetting the gals. Without them, we'd be like a bunch of malatt lous. Nice candid pic of Su Lee.

Debs with the wrestling manouver as she wrestles Su Lee into picture taking position.

Lets guess who is the one making Ah Lian hand signs. Hmmmm.......

Caroline's Birthday Bash

I've sticked to my plan of not spending money on alcohol. So far so good. In fact, I am pretty happy that my money actually stays in my wallet for a longer period. Hundreds of dollars used to fly out of my wallet. It was as if my wallet hated having money in it. I still spend on food. But obviously... spending on food vs drinking is a huge difference. You can eat a lot, but you'll reach a stage when you tell yourself "I've had enough". But when you drink, the more intoxicated you get, the more you want to drink. And we always end up spending shit loads. I guess it's not too late for me to 'insaf'. But like I said, I ain't quitting drinking. Only when I have a stable income will I come out and enjoy myself like I used to.

I did come out last weekend though. I was Caroline's birthday. "Happy Birthday Babe". Hann emailed us about a week or 2 earlier stating that he wants to organize a suprise party for his chickano... Caroline. Debs, Jules, Fariq, Alicia & I were looking forward to the party. Vince was in Chinkapor so he couldn't make it. We were suppose to meet at Mir@cles which is located at 8 Avenue which is located in PJ state. Hann says that they have a killer live band there. Debs and I arrive the earliest and we have a jug of beer while waiting for the rest of the gang. Not long after, Fariq and Alicia arrive. Since Jules had something up he came a bit later in the night.

As the group of people was huge, we were all divided up into a few groups. There is the mabuks gang at the bar, a bunch of Ah Beng & Ah Lian (friends of Hann & Caroline) at a table, and Caroline's family sitting inside at the sofa. Generous Hann brought over a bottle of Black and placed it on the bar. With liquor in hand, the drinking began. I drank as if the Whisky was water which I found while I was stranded in the Sahara desert. After a few drinks, the alcohol kicked in. Not drinking for a while has membantut my drinking capabilities. When a few relatives leave, Hann comes over and ask us to join Caroline's family at the sofa.

As you all know by now, I am friendly when high. I drink with Caroline's family and start doing my magic tricks. I also learnt a new bar trick which I showed everyone as well. Out came the birthday cake and we all sang "Happy Birthday" to Caroline. Come to think of it, I was so drunk, I don't think I had any cake at all. Downing drinks is never a wise thing to do. Sigh.... It was getting a bit late and the family decided to chau the scene. I have no idea how many bottles Hann bought that night. But when the family cabut-ed, the Whisky was all gone. Before Hann left, he bought a few more jugs of beers. I think I had maybe a glass or two and then I told everyone I gotta chau too. I was bloody wasted.

I have no idea how I got home. All I know is I woke up with a bloody bad hangover. My parents 'tah pau-ed' lunch for me. I had my lunch, took some Panadol, and went back upstairs to sleep. I didn't even go out for dinner. My parents once again 'tah pau-ed' dinner for me. I watched Fed Ex beat Murray (much to my delight) and went to bed right after. Those 2 days reminded me again of what I have been missing (the fun of drinking & hanging out) as well as the consequences of a heavy drinking night. Thanks to Hann paying for the drinks, I didn't spend on drinks. So I have not broken my own rule yet. Eh guys.. lets have dinner... I'll get the bill.

The lovely couple.

The mabuks female mascots.

Out comes the birthday cake.

She looks hungry.

Hann pleased that he has pleased his woman.

Looking great gals...

To be honest... I have no idea why Jules looks liddat.

A pic of the gang.

Me and Caroline's mum go back a looooongggg way.

Debs seems to be having loads of fun.

This husband and wife look damn lovey dovey.

Chill on the Drinking

Well... The last time I drank was on Sunday. And as I am not drinking today either, that's 4 days of being alcohol free. There are a few reasons why I am gonna stop drinking for a while. First of all, I've been pretty busy with work. I've got a job this weekend and next weekend as well. As some of you should know, I provide manpower to Hypermarkets when they conduct sampling in their outlets. Yeah... I might be still be pretty free on weekends as I do not have to clock in and out at any office, but I still do need to go around sourcing for promoters as well as plan all the schedule for the activities. I definitely don't mind working on weekends. In fact, it actually feels pretty good to be busy... running up and down... and at the end of the day getting things all done.

I am going to Pangkor Island Beach Resort this coming Monday and I need to sort everything out before I can go for my holidays. Conducting sampling also requires sampling items which I need to pass to the promoters prior to the sampling drive. This pretty much means I need to run around to pass the items to them one by one. The more locations I do, the more I need to travel. But like I said, no complains. If any of you need any promoters, do let me know. I'll give ya'll a discount. Hehehe...

The other reason I don't feel like going out at night is because of the TVB dramas which are showing at night. Last week, I went back to my hometown Teluk Intan to do some survey. Back in Teluk Intan, I do not have the luxury of having my own Astro Decoder in my room. So basically if I wanna stay at home, I gotta watch what my parents are watching. They are currently watching 2 dramas... one at 8.00pm till 9.00pm and the other from 9.30pm till 10.30pm. Since I got back to PJ, I have been watching the dramas daily. If for any reason I miss the 8pm show, I wait till 1am to catch the repeat broadcast. I can actually go to a DVD shop and buy the whole series, but this will cause 2 things to happen. I will stay awake every night till late (not that I sleep early anyway) and I will not leave my house at all till I finish the whole series. I once bought a DVD set of one of these TVB dramas. I ended up having instant noodles for every meal for 2 days, and I finished off the whole series in that duration.

The other reason for me not drinking is that I wanna try to spend less as my buddy and I should be starting our business within a month or two. If I don't stop spending now, I'll run out of capital even before we start the business. Staying at home these few days has been great. I barely spent any money. To be honest, if I don't drink at all, the most I can spend on food a week is like a 100 bucks. But of course this is if I have simple meals in kopitiams. A trip to 'Ribs' will set me back 30 bucks just for a main course.

I guess I gotta learn how to spend less. Life used to be easy for me years ago. My dad had a RM50 million turnover business. We were in the distribution business. With major brands like CP (Colgate-Palmolive), Dutch Lady, GAB (Guinness Anchor Berhad) and BAT (British American Tobacco), we were the biggest distributor in the Lower Perak region. Imagine walking around town... every packet of Dunhill, every bottle of Tiger Beer, and every packet of Dutch Lady drink anyone is holding was once sitting in your warehouse. We were the company nominated distributor for Lower Perak and we supplied to all Sundry Shops, Mini Markets, Supermarkets and Hypermarkets. Money was never an issue. I used to spend 600 bucks a month on my phone bill just to chat with my friends to kill time. I never felt the pinch when I paid for my phone bill every 2 months. While working for my dad, I travelled a lot. I just needed to tell me dad I wanted a month off, and I would fly to NZ to stay with my then girlfriend. But thanks to my asshole egoistic uncle (my father's cousin), the business has gone bust. How life has changed. I still spend a lot. I'm so used to spending money that I always spend without thinking of the consequences.

All I have now is my own place in Damansara Perdana. I am currently staying in my family home in Tropicana Indah. So this enables me to rent my own place out. I was thinking of selling my place to raise some funds for business. But my Teluk Intan buddies have talked me out of it. Teit Kwan and Teck Waey are absoulutely against me selling my crib. I do still have some $$$ for business. I don't have to sell my place to raise funds but I would prefer to have more liquidity just in case the business needs more cash injection. But I do agree, I tend to look at things on a short term basis. I know if I hang on to my property, it is impossible that my property will depreciate in value. With the lack of land for development in PJ, property prices are sure to go up. I think I'll listen to my friends and hold on to my crib.

Vince and the gang are planning to go to Nepal for a holiday. I do feel like going as I know that we always have a brilliant time when we hangout together. Vince and Joe are really gungho about going for this trip. But I guess I have to grow up sooner or later. I have never been able to prioritize and my choice has always been the one which ensures that I have fun. As I know Vince will be reading this, "Dawg.. Ma bad.. But I think I'm gonna have to pass". I wanna devote my time and money to starting the business. I know you guys will be disappointed, but I'm sure you'll be happy that I am thinking and weighing options before making any decisions. I'm sure you don't want to hangout with a 32 year old kid forever.

So I guess I am not gonna be blogging much for the next few months. I do not have many readers, but I do feel obligated to update my blog so that you guys do have something to read when you do visit. I guess this is the reason I am so long-winded. So... do visit less. Thanks for being a follower. I have had fun blogging... knowing that I have a great audience coming in daily for more. I'll still have some updates, but I guess they'll be kinda rare. Take care guys... Cheers...

Fun Filled Weekend

Suprisingly, no one called on Friday for drinks. So I caught a movie with Danny and Rose. We watched Carriers. People... don't watch this show. First of all it sucks. The storyline damn kau crap. In total, the were only 15 people in the total cast. And the biggest reason not to watch the show is... THEY ARE FUCKING RACIST. The show is basically about a disease sweeping the nation which basically has no cure. There is this one part of the show where they hang a guy and on him is a sign. Written on the sign is 'The Chinks brought it'. Racist Mutha fucka!!! Damn tulan.

Anyways... Wake up on Saturday morning late as I watched the late show the night before. Sam and Terence were up for snooker. So I made my way to Bali at around 2. We played till about 10pm. We then went to Rockmount for a few beers. The happy hour price is pretty okay lar. 36 bucks a jug. But it is a small jug lar. Which means it's just 3 mugs and not the usual 4. Prices after HH is 60 bucks. Pretty ex lar. But we didn't drink much. Just 6 jugs. We played some pool and sang karaoke as well. I got home at 2am. I was pretty knackered.

I get up on Sunday at 11. I drove to Ampang Point to source for some promoters which I need for an up coming sampling drive. After I finish my work, I meet up with Julian, Vince & Joe at Sungai Wang. I parked at Imbi as the Sg. Wang parking was already full. We walked around aimlessly for an hour plus. We then walk to Pavillion as we wanted to watch Avatar. Jules & Vince have not seen the show yet. I have watched it once. And Joe had already watched it twice. But we don't mind watching the 3-D version. But when we got there, there was a long line. I asked Rose to help me buy the tickets online. But she checked and the only available seats was the front row ones. The rest of the guys were okay with it. But I didn't want to have a stiff neck from watching a show so I membantah straight. Since we were not gonna catch a movie, we decided to grab a beer instead.

We walked opposite the road to where Wisma Cosway is. There is a bar there called Tulips which Vince told us serves affordable beer. We risked our lives and crossed the busy street just to find the pub closed. Sigh... So we decided to drink in Changkat instead and hailed a cab. When we first got in, the cab driver thought we were from Singapore or sumtin. Coz no Malaysians would waste cab money and usually just drive their own asses to the pub and drive home from there. We chat with the taxi guy a bit as he drove us to Changkat. We went to Ceylon Bar for our beer. Debs arrives a few minutes after us. Joe, Debs and I start our drinking session with a pint of Guinness Draft. Vince and Jules grab a jug of beer. We also order some nachos which are excellent.

We played Jenga to kill time and I think only Vince and I managed to remove the blocks without the whole thing thumbling down. What to do... gifted mar. We were also talking about how I like big teeth and how I think Miley Cyrus actually looks cute. It might seem kinda wrong that I think she's cute but you gotta love her teeth. Hehe. Btw... I have an obsession with Vampish looking teeth. A mouth full of teeth just looks.... nice. Anyways... obviously, we were talking about Miley Cyrus and waited for her music video to come on as they had the MTV channel on. We were there for a few hours and they did not show her latest MTV even once. Everytime a song finished, we looked at the screen wondering if they'll play 'Party in the USA' next. After hours of waiting, they finally did. Drunkish is shouted out loud 'YEAH!!!', grinning and feeling really pleased. I also told them about the part where Miley stomps her foot on the ground and you can see her leg muscles ripple. When Vince saw it with his own eyes, he laughed non stop and had a stomach cramp. Good times.. Good times...

At 8 plus, Joe had a brilliant idea. He suggested we go skating. When we were in Sg. Wang, we saw a skating ring at the top floor. Drunk us agreed to go. I drove Debra's car as 4 guys and 1 big gal cramped in. Parked her car in Sg. Wang and made our way up. It was actually rollerblades and not rollerskates. It didn't matter to us as we were pretty gungho about playing. Jules didn't want to though cause he doesn't know how to. The last time we played was like 10 or 15 yrs ago. I have only rollerbladed once years ago when I went to Johor and all my mates were still in Uni. But I have tried ice skating before and I didn't fall then. So I was sure I'd do just fine. I can't say the same for Debra though. She was falling all over the place. Even with the 3 of us guiding her, I don't think she managed to go one full circle. Vince, Joe and I can't do any stunts but at least we didn't suck like Debra. She made us look like profesionals. Thanks Debs.

At 10 plus, we left the ring. We were all tired. Our legs hurt. But not as much as our arms. We were more tired from picking Debra off the ground. And she is not what you call... light. Hehehe. So we go to Pudu to grab our dinner/ supper. Fei Kai was not open yet as he only opens at 11.30. So we go to the 'Lou Shue Funn' place instead. I order quite a bit of food. A claypot 'Lou Shue Funn', a pork belly Beehun, a fried 'Siew Yoke', a Kungpow mantis prawn, and 10 pieces of 'Yong Tau Foo'. We stuffed ourselves with the food I ordered. The bill came up to RM100. Ex lar... but it was expected. After 'Dinper' (dinner/ supper) we make our way back home. I got back at 11 ish, took a bath, and crashed out. A tired but entertaining day.


The Rockmount deco. When presents don't arrive during Christmas I guess we all know where to find Rudolph.


Sammi playing British pool.

Terence in action. He's pretty good lar. But I'm better. Hehe...

Cheers my Melaka friend.

Cue in right hand, mic in left hand. I was multi-tasking that night.

Tulips... the pub which Vince wanted to take us to.

Only problem was it was closed.

The guys stand around wondering where to go next.

We end up in Ceylon Bar for drinkies.

Joe with the vibrator he bought which he claims is for his ass.

The killer Nachos. Jules can't wait to dig in.

Queen Debla & Jiggly Joe.

Cheers. We love our beer.

The Queen & King of drinking.

Debs does not even have to look.

Vince with his steady hands manages to keep the structure up.

I think he failed twice.

Pretty high liau. Not sure if this was the pull that brought the structure down.

Walking into the rollerblading ring.

They are watching. Don't do drugs. And do not use vulgar language. I guess they have a lip reader.

This pic a bit x rated lar. Gals & gay guys can catch a glimpse of Joe's butt crack.

The railing is Debra's best friend.

Joe is a pretty good.

Debra needs assistance.

And more assistance.

Wah.. she manages to stand on her own.

Joe celebrates with a dance.

Aiya... spoke too soon.

We assist her to the railing.

We were pretty much the last customers of the day.

Everyone chatting instead of skating. Debs having trouble standing. Wanna sit on the railing also not tall enough.

Yes she is on her knees... No she is not proposing... Yes she fell again...

My fucking parking in Imbi cost me 24 bucks. What the fuck!!!

Our dinper. And as usual, I take a photo as we're about to finish it.
