a pretend update
What I have been doing:
- Closed my RHB bank account because it has been dormant for years. No problems there, except the part where I almost LOL-ed after seeing the person behind the counter wearing this badge saying, “Bank ROMPAK Bonus Kami!”. Later as I went to several other banks, I realised that it’s not limited to RHB, but rather a union thing. Cute.
- Opened a new Maybank account, then discovered that I have another dormant Maybank account, which I apparently had opened in 2001 at the Puchong Jaya branch. This is MOST befuddling, as I have totally NO recollection of ever opening a savings account with Maybank. But the details were undoubtedly mine, circa 2001 that is. Still got like RM50 in the account also. So I have to drag myself all the way to Puchong Jaya to close it. Oddity balls.
- Had lunch with Jaime yesterday at D’lish, sister of Delicious. I had a cupcake…
Almost too pretty to eat…
Okay here’s the thing with me and cupcakes:
1) I’ve never liked cupcakes
2) There’s been a surge of demand for cupcakes recently, and many bloggers posted photos of beautiful cupcakes
3) Some of the cupcakes are too damned pretty to be eaten!
4) Viral marketing + pretty-fication of cupcakes = me yearning for cupcakes
5) So I bought a cupcake
6) And found out that I still do not like cupcakes.
Summary: me = sucka.
- Went to Starhill this morning to collect my two FREE tickets to watch ‘TUNKU, THE MUSICAL’, courtesy of YTL. Yays! The thing I hate about Starhill is that they name all the different levels with friggin’ VERBS! Whatever happened to good ol’ numerical values?!
- Since I was in the vicinity and it was around lunchtime, I drove a short distance to Jln. Nyonya to have siu yok fan. Turns out that the dude doesn’t sell his femes siu yok until 12.30 p.m. so I had to wait 15 minutes for ‘opening time’. Meanwhile a kakak working there boasted to me of their employer’s excellent siu yok, and the hard work of constant poking the meat that goes into the preparation that commences at 8.30 a.m. every working day. At 12.45 p.m. my siu yok fan was served to me…
So awesome I could die!
Snapped a photo of the owner too:
The one who pokes the meat everyday
- Took my car for servicing, yadda yadda yadda.
- Had my eyebrows threaded. Ouch.
- Bought a copy of Mastika. I love that shit.
- Had my car washed by hardworking foreign workers. And just so you know, it is raining now. It’s a conspiracy against me owning a clean car, I tell ya.
- Attending a farewell party tonight.
- Going to nap for a bit now. Byes!

You’ve accomplished what I would have needed 2 weeks to do. I’m really lazy. The most dreaded place of all has to be banks! Thank God for ATM and online banking. But then, you actually need to go there in person to open an account hor…
The siu yook really looks god.
Cheers
i’m hungry. lol
helen: it’s all very easy lah… heheh my rhb acc was in midvalley, and jaime and d’lish are in midvalley… then maybank is near my office, and my office is near my home.
my mechanic is in bangsar, the threading shop is above my mechanic’s, mastika was bought from opposite the road. then on the way home i stopped by a petrol station near my house to have my car washed. ta-dahhhhhhhhhh thank you thank you
reta: heheh siu yok is awesome!!
i cant believe you read mastika wei!!!
Seemed like an update to me!
Why you no like cup cakes? They are like normal cakes, only smaller and cuter!
You no like small cute things anymore???
Hope you have a nice nap!
cupcakes are like a lot of socially-defined pretty girls. nice to look at, but one bite is more than enough sampling because the entire lot taste the same, no matter what flavor they taruk.
I have a similar problem: every time I ask the car wash guys to wax my car, it WILL start raining before they are done.
i want to eat siu yok fan, sniff. bring me there when i go KL! thx
The problem with your cupcake is that it’s a cupcake from Delicious – their cupcakes are crap, honestly. Their cupcakes just look pretty, that’s it. In order to appreciate cupcakes is that you ought to have the RIGHT one. My favourite cupcake ever is by a woman who only bakes as a hobby (but she does orders). However Marmalade does a mean lemon cupcake. Don’t give up cupcakes yet — try this one!
‘It’s a conspiracy against me owning a clean car, I tell ya.’
ZOMG Suan, they’re on to you now, too ? ./cues twilight zone music
They must be in cahoots with the same league of people against me jogging !!11oneoneX
el oh el.
The roast pork looks yummy but too much can mean longer stool times
I’ve eaten there before. It’s very nice but abit expensive IMO.
Ah well, I’m so not used to the puny portions back here again
i like how cupcakes look, but not so much eating them.
That being said, zomg siew yok drool…
siu yok fan…looks worth a trip…
PORkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Sharon: Har? It’s only like the most awesome publication evar!
Dabs: Don’t know? It’s not the same as a proper cake, with cream in every other layer.
Chen: hahahahha nice one
tigerjoe: wax is still okay mah…
pinky: hokays! I brought beef sashimi & friends there before.. they absolutely loved it
cupcake lover: OoOoo where is Marmalade so I may go sample their goods?
fox: uh, the nature is against us well-meaning folks
diamond: eh… is there a correlation??
iesnek: yeah. but come to think of it, they give you one whole awesome strip for RM12. if you buy normal siu yok fan, it costs about Rm4 with half a strip.
lainie: YESH YOU SHOULD GO HAVE SIU YOK FAN!
Dr B: come come!
KY : YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY meaning of life.
I WANTTTTTTTTTt
Suanie – You can get them with cream in every other layer if you make them that way!
Of course, eating an entire cake to myself sounds a lot more fun though.
Hah! Never saw you as a Mastika reader.
~closeted Mastika reader~
FA: Jom!
Dabs: well i think it’s different, bleh
Izad: Hehehehe shhhhhhhhhh
Marmalade: there’s one at Mont Kiara same row as Haagen Daaz and another cafe at Bangsar Village 2 =)
