King for a day.

Attended a Wedding Banquet held last Saturday to celebrate my nephew’s marriage in a Nirvana Ballroon of the International Hotel. It was GRAND and there was a sumptuous spread of exotic VEGETARIAN cuisine.

I enjoyed it thoroughly especially the Shark’s Fin that was made entirely of “I don’t know what”,… the Four Seasons….Vegetarian fried prawns…the Roast Duck , the “Monk Jump Over the Wall” …and the Beggar’s Chicken. (Strictly VEGAN).

It is our custom to treat the “Newly Wed” pompously just for the day and the Groom will be bestow with a King’s treatment in accordance to the so called Royal Protocol passed down from generations to honor the GROOM the “King for a day.”

My Wedding Banquet was a JOKE of the decade…..sniff!...sniff!

Puteri Gunung Ledang.

HANG TUAH.


Stephen Rahman Hughes (A British) acted as Hang Tuah in the Musical “Puteri Gunung Ledang”.

He is so HANDSOME.


I watch the Musical last night ….the courtesy of a Dear friend. (I couldn’t afford it)

Bakar the Cobbler.

Bakar the Cobbler

Bakar has been plying his trade at this busy sidewalk of this busy street somewhere in Kuala Lumpur….. he is an unlicensed trader…and he is constantly harassed by the municipal officers in their tour of duties.

….The Enforcement personnel would issue him summon which he dutifully pays and at time they would confiscate his tools of trade and he would have to pay a levy to have it back.

Tell it to Bakar and thousands of them like him….they would laugh it off …..the summonses and the levies are as RENTALS and computed as cost of doing business….they are earning a decent living supporting their families…..most of them (hawkers and roadside traders) are earning more than an Executive or a Manager of an organization and many became Millionaires through maverick FRANCHISING.

Earning a decent living is easy in Asia…..and THEY ARE THE HEROES OF ASIA.

For the first time.

Model: I was just passing through when I saw her….mesmerized by her eyes and I stole the shot off her from a distance with the Zoom mode. The picture wasn’t too clear…I had it edited.

I see eyes as a personification of a smile…it beautifies it.

[Listen to the song if you haven’t….simply BEAUTIFUL]

For the first time – Kenny Loggins

Are those your eyes, is that your smile
I've been lookin' at you forever
But I never saw you before
Are these your hands holdin' mine
Now I wonder how I could of been so blind

For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin' back at me
Now I understand why love is...
Love is... for the first time...

Can this be real, can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
And are you the same you
It's all so strange how can it be
All along this love was right in front of me

For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin' back at me
Now I understand why love is...
Love is... for the first time...

Such a long time ago
I had given up on findin' this emotion...
Ever again
But you live with me now
Yes I've found you some how
And I've never been so sure

And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
Can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin' back at me
Now I understand why love is...
Love is... for the first time...

The Moon represents my heart.

The Moon represents my heart – Theresa Teng.

You ask me how deep my love for you is,
How much I really love you…
My affection is real.
My love is real.
The moon represents my heart.

You ask me how deep my love for you is,
How much I really love you…
My affection does not waver,
My love will not change.
The moon represents my heart.

* Just one soft kiss
is enough to move my heart.
A period of time when our affection was deep,
Has made me miss you until now.

* You ask me how deep my love for you is,
How much I really love you.

* ** Go think about it.
Go and have a look [at the moon],
The moon represents my heart.

Repeat *

Smelly TOFU and Pasar Malam (night market)

Smelly TOFU and Pasar Malam (night market)

After the Dental sojourn many evenings ago…..We drop by at the pasar malam (night market) to have our supper and to get new clothes (myself) for the Chinese New Year.

We had fried noodles…soup noodles….curry noodles…and it was satisfyingly good.

That evening…...I decided to be adventurous …for no apparent reason..I decided to try out the ‘Chow Tofu’..(Smelly Tofu) a la carte…….it has been bordering me for years….. The aroma stench like sewage…and true to its slogan “AROMA ACROSS A THOUSAND MILES”.

The queue was long….we waited for our turn….bought 4 pieces for each one of us

…..Sam went first…shook her head in delight…then it was my turn…I have already turned green from the regurgitation…there was no way out….BRAVED myself…closed my eyes…SAM fed a piece to my mouth…..I chewed the crunchy texture..and ..BY GOSH…it was the best TOFU I have ever tasted.

Then it was my children’s turn…..they then wanted more..but the queue was too long………..decided to come back for more another time.

Believe me you….it is worth a try…even if it is for the NOVELTY of having the guts to have tasted the smelliest dish…… the infamous “SMELLY TOFU”……just don’t burp!..

If need to…..wind down the car window.

I want...I WANT...I want !!..Chapter 2

I want...I WANT...I want !!..Chapter 1

I want..I want..I WANT.


This afternoon I saw the cutest TOYS ever…and if I was a child….I would have ranted
…I want… I want…I want…and if my parent still refuses to get one for me……I would have activated the battle station …declare all out WAR till the objective is secured.

I would go into my room …lock up …and STARVE.. (after I had smuggled enough ration to last a week)…and my parent would squirmed…..and I dare them to watch me starve to death….and I will only eat if they buy me the ‘stuff puppy with naughty ears’.


Go to >> talkthreetalkfour.blogspot.com ..to see the cutest stuff toys ever...and listen to the singing.



OK…see you all later…Dinner time……….Sam, where are the CHILDREN!!!!!!!!

Sam ate it.

Chinese New Year is a few days away…...the top item on the shopping list was a dining table. I have been looking around for one to replace the Dining table that has been with us for 15 years.

Found one ….a 5’ by 5’ ….solid cheddar wood with beautiful grains in deep champagne hue…..and comes with 8 chairs (slightly raised) that sit a person comfortably in a regal relax position to pig out .

The Dining set cost $ 3000…..a sum I can barely afford but absolutely necessary because it is really a shame to be seen in one… though it served us functionally well as required….but my MOTHER has been nagging us to change it because the children are all grown up…and their friends come a visiting so often …and we love to have them over for meals.

They didn’t mind….as they understood the financial obligation that we are undertaking…………..…I am undergoing…. to be exact.

And so…

On my way to the furniture shop to place a deposit…I accompanied Sam to the dental clinic…went in with Sam….and the dentist greeted us….Attended to Sam……after a few jabs….with Sam squirming! ….some more drilling….Root Channeling.

….Mr. Lau….Sam bridge has got to be replace……..OK! No problem.

The Dentist …then went on to …..calculate…tik…tik..tok…tik..tik…tuk..tuk

..it is about…[with ME SQUIRMING!!!]……. $ 3900…..after discount….tik…tik….that would be

….$ 3600…and since your family have been patronizing the clinic…and loyalty pays

..I am giving a discount…for you Mr.Lau…..it is $ 3000…(it pays to be loyal.)

What can I say….I was so touch!!…..got EMOed……I was SO thankful ( my voice was choked with emotion)…at that moment he was the GREATEST person ……my eternal gratitude….. when all the EMO stuffs sunk in…..the dust settled….

……....GEE!!......I am paying $ 3000 for two pieces of porcelain…the size of a peanut.

[In silent thought….GOSH!!!!!!....SAM you just ATE my DININING table …literally, so to speak….

..……..figuratively accurate……and politically correct, if you choose to debate.]

After the dental sojourn …instead of the furniture shop…I went to the Pasar Malam (night market) to buy new clothe and wear for the CHINESE NEW YEAR….

The Morning After.

The Morning After.

This picture “The Morning After” is being posted the morning after (yesterday morning) I posted “Morning”.

…..Originally…..I had in mind “The Morning After” to be “Morning Has Broken” and vice versa

“Morning Has Broken” to be “The Morning After”…....just before the screwed up in the wee hour of the morning. …...one morning… [TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT]

It is now 2.07am in the small hour of the morning of 18^th.Jan.09…as my finger fox-trot on the keyboard to complete this journal…and it maybe way pass 2.30am on this wee hour of the Sunday morning after I post up “The Morning After”…but before consuming the 2 Royal Stouts which have a tendency to play trick on the tired mind and blurry eyes.

Enjoy it nevertheless…and none the wiser on my part……!!!!....:yawn:…..GOOD NIGHT……:sleep:
