2 consecutive nights

The nights I ROFL-ed loudly and heartily in the longest time imaginable. It is really some kind of wonder that the simplest things in life brings forth the greatest joy. I guess that's how our ancestors or ancient people stay happy. By being simple. Although I think in my case, technology and civilisation did help in making things happen.

On the first night, I was staying up late and being bored, I enlisted Su Wei's help to keep me entertained and what did he do? He gave me Maggie Q's picture(since it was her birthday apparently), so I shared it on FB and that was the start of some unimaginable hilarity!! In short, the conversation went from talking about Maggie Q to photoshopping to creation of assbook/asses and some really random stuffs! Full conversation is in FB but I am too lazy to print screen and censor their names for privacy reasons. I just remembered that each post/reply drove me to fits of laughter.
After that, I really gave up on setting expectations on what is to come for the summer! XD

The second night, with a separate group of friends, from college actually, again laughter were all over the place. What we did was we went to a mamak(name is William's, if I am not wrong) and then a trip to Wall Street Bar. Only three of us, so there are three drinks, Kilkenny beer, Long Island Iced Tea and Boston Tea Party. To be honest, I completely underestimated Boston Tea Party because it tasted a bit bland at first but it is enough to make me lower my mental guard and drive me to happiness. Glad I didn't become wasted though. Also, I mentioned mental guard cause I told them stuff that I usually wouldn't and the one thing I told them became the topic for quite a while. >.< Disgrace, disgrace.

Anyway, for both nights, I learnt something much more valuable then just random conversations and drinks. I am reminded the power of friends and to be honest, while I may be able to survive without you guys, but I guess life would be quite boring.
Maroon 5's song, "One More Night" completely got defeated by the two nights I had! Arigatou guys!

Skyfall! Skyfell! Skyfallen!

Unexpectedly, I went to watch Skyfall today and I cannot really decide if I want to call it good or mediocre. Bad is out of the question because there are aspects of the movie which I did appreciate, and no points that I can complain about.

The cinematography and artistic sense was pretty well done. I mean, it was pretty easy to follow the flow of Skyfall. I did not have to wonder what is happening, so yeah, pretty engaging to me. In terms of the artistic sense, I am focusing solely on the opening clip that they made. Hauntingly beautiful.

However, it didn't feel like a proper James Bond movie. I don't know, perhaps it lacks the suaveness of a 007? It didn't seem like the sleekness was present either. Even the tagline, "Bond, James Bond.' didn't convey the aura it was supposed to. ><

In short, it is good as a movie but not really, as a Bond's movie. Yeap, that's my conclusion. Rewatch value... most probably not either.
 

Ye Zi Kai Tong!!!

Pardon the Cantonese pronunciation, actually it is 椰子雞湯(written in traditional chinese). Whether this is the actual name or not, I don't know but at least, that's how my colleague said it and that's how I shall call it too. Located in Pudu, by the corner of a T-junction, it is pretty obscure but I think the old-timers of Pudu would definitely know it!

So, the breakdown of the name:
Ye Zi refers to coconut, Kai means chicken and Tong is soup, hence the proper English soup would be... Coconut Chicken Soup (CCS?) XD


Ignoring the name, this is, in fact, one of the thickest/strongest herbal chicken soup I had in ages! And since it is being boiled in the coconut, there is just that slight hint of the coconut sweetness in the soup! And for you meat-eaters, the amount of chicken meat in this is just.... a lot! There is just no other way to quantify it.

So, just get a plate of rice and order this, satisfaction guaranteed! And guess what, it is pretty worth it for the price, since it is just below RM 10.

Caution : It is served piping hot! So do remember to blow a little to cool it down first ya!
