While you guys are enjoying your long weekends, I am now in Jakarta.

Nevertheless, spending the weekend with quality was the more important question.

Which I did by going to the movies at Sunway Pyramid, watching the story of the life and love with the world’s worst dog (info).

After movie, I bought a hamper as a gift for a friend whose wife just gave birth to their second baby girl. However, the baby is warded still while the missus has already been discharged and resting at home. Will put the visit on hold until the baby is brought home.

From Sunway, I made a long drive to Wangsa Maju looking for a house.

Arrived at Amy Search’s Restoran Cheng Ho at 3.30pm but it was temporarily closed from 2.30pm till 6.15pm for post lunch break. Quite a disappointment considering the long drive and after whisking through the massive jam along MRRII. Can an English teacher help to clarify, what’s the difference between “chinese islamic seafood” and “chinese muslim seafood“? I believe the latter would refer to a seafood restaurant owned by a Chinese Muslim?

On Sunday, went searching hi and low along Jalan Maharajalela and finally managed to book a hotel within a walking distance on behalf of Babuk Andrea for Wednesday’s meeting.

After that, went to Mid-Valley and had 6pm “lunch” at Chili’s. Yes, we had lunch at 6pm!!!
Had not had anything the whole day because I was too busy running errands. After that late lunch, we went to Bukit Bintang to meet up with our friend from Kuching at 9.30pm. Took her for seafood dinner at Jalan Alor. Excellent food always taste even better with great companions around.

Oh btw, did anyone watched the final of Raja Lawak Musim ke-3 on Friday night? One of the co-host, Zizan pulled my attention when he made a welcoming speech “Apa khabar penonton-penonton di seluruh Malaysia, Brunei, Sabah dan Sarawak“. Although I believe it was unintended, it goes to show how naive can these West Malaysians sometimes be by taking for granted that Sarawak and Sabah are currently part of Malaysia ![]()
I’ve scheduled some post-dated entries for your reading pleasures while I’m away in Indonesia. See you later. Have a nice day!

babukandrea # in other words, “chinese muslim seafood” and “chinese islamic seafood” meant the same?
Wow…. the trips to Jakarta may inspire some unique baby names in your mind soon…. that Raja Lawak, after they push the matter to us that we are in Malaysia for 51 years we are not in the ‘Seluruh Malaysia’ description and its necessary to say Sabah & Sarawak on top of Malaysia? Maybe its a slip of the mouth or brain. Itu bisa pak…they are trying their best to Westernise us….they only see the mistake if we say ‘Apa Khabar penonton-penonton di seluruh Malaysia Sabah dan Sarawak, Brunei dan semua di Semenanjung Malaysia….’
