back again after an absence! i'm pretty tired right now. seems this week has passed so quickly! at least it never seemed dreary. just back from a 24-hour trip to Penang. two appointments and we were back. i think we just needed to get out of the big bad city, Gab and i. well, did manage to shack up for the night with my family, who were conveniently on holiday and residing at the Crown Prince Hotel. and even better, the 10th of July was also both my granny's and Gab's birthdays, so we had a little midnight song and present-opening session! hehehe cute. got gab ( he's a bookworm ) that book, Stupid White Men, which has been consistently on the bestseller lists in this country for much of this year. anyone got a copy of Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine?

we did waste the afternoon sleeping, when i really wanted to bum by the pool and the beach. a gorgeous afternoon... didn't even manage to satisfy my craving for good char koay teow; the one we ate near the Sunway Hotel was crap. sorry to say lah, i think some stalls here serve better addiction-inducing fried noodles. u might want to try the stall in Bandar Park, Jln Mega Mendung, which is somewhere off Jln Klang Lama and OUG. this is in the shoplot at the corner, opposite the RHB Bank and the car showroom (Proton, issit?). trying to recall the name of the girl who runs the stall. jeez. old age playing tricks with my memory. good stuff, the char koay teow there.

so sad to have missed the blogger meetup. please let there be another one! preferable weekday nites or sundays...

my weekend was practically spent hanging out, predominantly at Absolut Chemistry. this is one hot place at Telawi 2, superb (though commercial) R&B and hiphop. probably be hanging there tonight as well, weather and time permitting. me and my bud Chris were cruising on Sat-Sun morning, and found Backroom closed or not open yet? at 4am i thought there'd be a traffic jam leading up to the place, but all we found were empty parking spaces. anyone with info on wassup? just when we wanted to party til the sun came up! well, found one place still happening, Waikiki in PJ Kelab Syabas, but it was packed to the gills. worried that the balcony might fall just like that party in the US. absolutely no place to stand and have a drink even! must be all those backroom chappies relocating for the night. so hard to find a place to party and greet the rising of the sun...

have a fun weekend!

love n peace
