A not so happy CNY

A very Happy Chinese New Year to all!

I'm sure most are still celebrating, unlike me - I'm already back to work on the 3rd day, and definitely not by free will.

Well my CNY wasn't such a good one - been moody for sometime.

Had migraine for almost a week, it was quite severe that I'd to take 3 days of MC.

After the series of migraine, I'd an allergic reaction to the migraine medication - hence I'd to spent RM50 from my ang pow collection on more medication.

Went to a 24 hours clinic on the 1st day of CNY, just to get 1/2 dozen of anti-histamine pills for the mouth allergy that I'd.

Thus as predicted, CNY was a torturous one for me - eating which is usually the most wonderful part of CNY, became the most excruciating affair for me 0_0

However, thankfully it is much better right now.

Overall these past week has been quite a moody and rowdy one.

Always for the music...

Always for the music!

What does it mean to play a gig
Get the dough and maybe a chick
What does it mean to feel the pocket
When all you're doin is fillin' your pocket

Always for the music!

What does it mean to play a gig
Once or twice maybe 3 times a week
What does mean to be a musician
When instead you sound like a politician

Always for the music!

What does mean to play a gig
When your ego's so damn thick
What does it mean to entertain
When you only count $$$ you gain

Always for the music!

What does it mean to play a gig
When you know you're just doin ANY gig
Just wanna play and be a musician
Don't wanna be no magician


Ain't no musicians got no ambition?
Ain't no musicians got no soul?
Ain't we earning a decent living?
Why gotta put us down like we sinnin' ?

Ain't musicians human beings?
Ain't musicians more than just things?
Ain't no sensitivity how we gonna sound?
Just another empty can rollin' down.

Ain't nobody wanna hear "for the greater good" no more?
Ain't nobody wanna hear "'it's the right thing to do" ?
Ain't nobody know we just a freakin' small land?
The earth's got greater sounds than who you think you are man!

This ain't a DEF Jam like they all doin it in da hood,
This is DEAF Jam cuz the likelihood is rather absurd,
It's all jammed up and cramped up and slammed up,
And it's all noisy but noiseless cuz them's deaf and corrupt!

Always for the music, always for the music.... ain't nobody learning this tune no more,
Or am i satirical, theatrical, and emotional,
Just a thought, just a blog, hold that beat,.. it's just a mock,
This tune's over, we've hit the pause and the coda's at a stop . . 1,2 hit the top .



Peace.

Sawadikap!

It has been awhile since Dan and I had the time to tickle our taste buds with new and yummy food as a duo.

One weekend or weekday (I can't remember), we went over to MV Megamall (it's our frequent dating/hangout place at present, as we're leaving no more than 15 mins away).

Well, deciding on a makan place is one of the most tedious task for the both of us. It takes us hours (okok, maybe not hours) but considerately a long period of time for us to decide on a place to fill out rather big tummies :P

However it didn't take us too long this time round, as we've been eyeing on Rak Thai, a Thai restaurant that's located in The Gardens.

We ordered the Tom Yum Goong (or Kung) soup, and it was lovely. Do not be deceived by its super clear appearance. A burst of flavours EXPLODED in my mouth, as soon as I took my first spoonful of Tom Yum soup! Truly a delightful and tasteful surprise! In addition, the prawns were HUGE.

I ordered the Thai Belacan Fried Rice as my main course. In my opinion, it tasted mediocre - and it was a lil too salty for my liking. I'll however give them credit for the huge prawns and squids :)

Dan on the other hand, had the Thai Pineapple Fried Rice - which I felt was a more appertizing dish compared to mine. Overall, the 2 latter dishes weren't unique or special.

Our meal came out to about RM40. Thai food aren't cheap, but when it comes to food (good food preferred) - I don't mind splurging my hard-earned wages on 'em :)

A bit of some stuff i did which i have been way to lazy to post up here.
Last yr a roadshow for Dunhill brought me to a couple of places including East M'sia.
Got to try out some really nice makans :



This is pork noodles in Kuantan ..or better known as "Chu Yoke Fun " ... Pork meat flour.


This is fish noodles in Sabah....Very scrumptious., They serve wet or dry, so i had the dry one with a bowl of fish soup ...the fish is very fresh .


























'Kun Lou' mee in Sabah.





This is vegetable and flour noodle in Sarawak. Also tried Sarawak laksa and Fuzhou kueh...very nice, but no pics.




Also, satay babi in Sarawak...the orange white color drink is called White Lady...and the ice kacang kinda bowl is ice kacang with lime. Nice.




This is kaya bread at Sbread, Midvalley. First few times like nice la...so Cass bought a jar of kaya there...but then somehow it didn't taste as good after awhile.




This is durian pancake from Sweet Chatz, Midvalley...nice. Cass' favourite.























This is something i took on the way to Penang for a gig....or was it on the way back..?



This is me and Cass' Play Doh snakes.

I've been wanting to update our blog on so many THINGS!!! But never got to it, as the lazy bug caught-up with me.

Christmas and New Year was an extremely busy time for me and Dan. Was as busy as a bee with VERY-very last minute shopping, and cooking - baking - bla bla bla *hee

Dan gave me the best gift for year 2008 - lots of kisses and hugs!! :)
Hahaha...besides the endless kisses and hugs, he bought me a truly unexpected gift - Canon IXUS 80 IS!!

And a BLUE one! NICEEE!

It was a wonderful surprise, as I was planning to save up for it. THANKS DARLING! I know I've said it many times, but I'm truly grateful for it :) You're such an awesome hubby - ALL OF THE TIME!!

There's so much more that I would like to blog about, but I'll save 'em for the days to come.
