I couldn’t stop myself from buying some cards i really fancied in Selfridges
and if they didn’t cost £2.50 a piece,
i’m sure i would have bought more!
Some i gave away to friends they reminded me of,
the others i bought for myself + Clem,
and have taken the liberty to hang up in the apartment.
Love this line from Alice in Wonderland.
It hangs on the dressing table mirror.
And of course, i took a great liking to a tak-halal one.
These,
like many other photos i’ve taken in the past 2 months and haven’t posted,
was taken in my Aunt G’s office in London while waiting for my grannie to cook some kickass Cantonese dinner.

Last Saturday,
i pulled out a cream white dress i bought from Bali (which sad to say, i’d only worn once :p),
ironed it carefully,
sulked at the rainstorm going on outside,
waited a bit,
then drove to the Dewan Komuniti in TTDI
for JollyMooky & Ayesha‘s wedding!
I missed the first ceremony in July cos i was away,
but luckily was around for this one!
Mooky’s one of my oldest friends from KL.
I’ve known him before i met everyone else (outside my group of high school and college friends).
We met each other on… get this… Friendster, haha!
Friendster back in 2003 was the best thing that ever happened to social media okay!
I remember AshleyTheMonkey coming with me to meet him at Centrepoint mamak (just in case he was a psycho).
Turned out he was noT a psycho, but one of the most lovable people i’ve met in my life 
Mooky then introduced Ash and i to FaiTheMai,
who introduced us to QueenKanch,
and that was how we all met.
THIS is probably the oldest picture i have of JollyMooky and i together!
And below, are pictures at his wedding! (or one out of 4 ceremonies he had anyway!)
JollyMooky + FaiTheMai
In all my years knowing Fai, i’ve never seen him in a baju melayu.
Turns out he only has one anyway 
Okay who am i to talk… i don’t own a cheongsam,
but i have a sari!
Radiant Ayesha + me
The set up was really beautiful and modern,
but i forgot to take pictures cos i was so engrossed in the food and conversation oops!
Apsahaha, me, JollyMooky, AshleyTheMonkey, FaiTheMai 
And the last picture… is taken from Ayesha’s FB profile,
i really wanted to post it cos it’s TOO CUTE.
So Mooky.
Congrats, you guys are gonna have BEEYOOTIFUL CHILDREN!
The Freeform family (current, and ex-staff ) went for seafood dinner for Myra and SarChan’s birthday this week.
You know what?
I was looking through my old posts and found we went there a year ago for the same reason as well.
Talk about creatures of habit!
Was talking to JiaWei who told me she’d just left a couple of months back,
and she was happily babbling like a brook about some freelance project she’s landed herself after quitting.
I went, “Oh good for you! Me, hmm, wondering what to do with my life…”
JW: Oh! And i also just started a jewelry line!
Me: …Thanks Jia Wei, that just makes me feel SO much better…

MingDaBomb – always camera-ready.
ClaudiaOnCrack – always distracted by something in the air.
The birthday song… was the worst rendition of it i’ve EVER heard.
Everyone was intentionally out of tune and beat with each other,
shrieking, squealing, howling, it was but anything that could be considered as singing.
Myra seemed to enjoy it.
SarChan… was hiding behind her hands haha!
I’m still suffering from Post-Holiday Depression.
Besides the difference in schedule of what i should be doing with myself and my time every day,
a complementing factor to my list of Things That Are Different (To Me) Back Home…
is the food.
There will always be a debate about which region has better food bla bla bla.
I’m not being a traitor and saying i hate the food here, i LOVE ASIAN FOOD.
Dishes and flavours from any corner of the earth are so subjective and incomparable.
My problem is not only do i love Asian food, i love all kinds of food.
Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Italian, French, etc.
I find that i’m always rotating the types of food that i eat depending on what my taste buds feel like.
Even Clem says my favourite and most common question of the day is: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO EAT. *big shiny eyes and hands rubbing in glee*
Last night i was craving red meat.
You know a moment like that?
Where your tongue feels twangy and you start smacking your lips,
and you think to yourself, “I feel like…” while trying to connect your brain to your heart to your mouth so that it can accurately convey what you really want to taste for that meal / hour / second.
Yes.
I was craving a nice medium rare steak last night.
And i couldn’t help thinking, “If only i was in London right now, i could go out and get that gorgeous perfect succulent steak i had with Yishyene and her friends…”
Before my Proper Sane Self mentally slapped me Stop It! Just ACCEPT that you CANNOT get your hands on that very same steak right now and MOVE ON.
WELL.
Since i physically (and theoretically) am unable to get my hands on “that gorgeous perfect succulent steak i had with Yishyene and her friends”, i will merely blog about it as a half past six substitute of self-consolation.
We went to this bar & restaurant at Elephant & Castle (i think) Clapham called 64th & Social where for £15, you got to choose:
– your type of meat + how well you liked it
– choice of sauce / butter on steak
– 1 type of mash and 1 type of vege from the extensive list provided
– wine / cocktail / etc
The steak was divine. Pure heaven.
I cut it up into bite-sized pieces just the way i like it,
equally spread the garlic butter (which added points to the whole meal), popped them one by one into my mouth,
and slowly chewed and relished in the texture while smiling, as if in a drunken stupor, at the others.
The meat was done medium rare, just the way it should be (and oh, how many places actually get it wrong!)
Its accompaniments of mash and spinach i chose were crazy delicious as well.
satisfied me + Yishyinini
Martha 1, Aysha, Martha 2
I’ve never met someone named Martha before… let alone two in one day!
Anyway let’s backtrack to last night. *brakes screeching*
I was craving a steak, remember? Yes, you nod.
Ohkay.
I realise that there aren’t many good steaks here.
People always go on and on about how they love steaks at Jake’s, or Victoria’s Station… but i don’t.
I find it completely average and cannot fathom why people pay that price for an average steak that will always leave you 1. craving for something better and 2. slightly irritated that you can’t cos you already ate Average Steak and now you’re full so you just have to go home and rest that tummy.
The only steak i REALLY adore in KL, is at Prime.
But this post is not for me to complain, really.
It’s to ask you, besides Prime, is there any other place in KL where you think serves great steak?
Because i think i haven’t made enough effort to search for it,
and what happens the next time i have a steak craving and am not dressed appropriately for Prime?
To combat my craving last night,
Clem and i went to Blue Cow Cafe (my first time) where i got myself a medium rare rib-eye steak (RM58).
It came rare so i sent it back for them to cook it better.
‘Twas alright, and satiated my craving for the moment (as i tried to be positive and not think about better steaks i’d had)
Out of nowhere, Clem comments, “You’d make a good mother.”
Me, in shock with meat in my mouth, mumbled back, “WhaT? Why would you say that?!”
“Because you cut your meat up in little pieces.”
“So?”
“People do that for their child.”
“I’m doing that for myself cos i am a child!”
Is it so weird that i cut my meat up into little pieces?
I know Dhanya rolls her banana leaf rice + meat into little balls before popping them into her mouth,
so i’m pretty sure there are other people who ‘prepare’ their food in funny little ways too!
What funny eating habits do you have/know of?
Share! (So i don’t feel like the total weirdo here!)
