a good deed...

someone carelessly left his car key, together with the remote control on top of the urinal in the toilet of my office floor a few days back... and I almost took it into the office to ask around my colleagues whether any of them lost their car keys when a panicky guy came out from the lift and head straight towards the toilet obviously looking for his car keys, so I called him and gave him back his stuff... a relief guy he was after that...



I could understand his feelings completely as the same thing happened to me just a week+ ago. I went to Ipanema with Daniel at around 11pm, and only after downing half a pint of beer 20+ minutes later, and gone over to talk to some friends next door at Soho that I realized my car keys were not with me. I asked Daniel to help look for my car keys at Ipanema while I ran over to see whether my car was still there or not. To my delight, it was still there, so I walked slowly back to the club, searching carefuly for my car keys along the way until I saw someone picked it up from the two steps leading down towards Ipanema and Soho. I told that guy (got his name later - Colin Kho... thanks man...) that he had my keys and he gave it back to me straight.... I tell you no words could have described how relieve felt that time... 

I think there's must be some connection between loosing your keys, getting them back, then helping another person got his/her keys back... a cycle or something like that... but I'm glad I could return the favour and be of help... :)

one helluva long weekend alcohol intoxication...

as I mentioned in my previous post that one of the boh-liaw clan - Kari was back in town for the long weekend... both Daniel and I brought him out drinking FOUR nights in a row, and eventually got him 'broken' by the time he flew back to Penang, with a bad sore throat and sound like Donald Duck... hehehehe....


we went to Ipanema on Friday night to open up the 15 year Balvanie that he brought back from his India business trip (luckily he went to Bangalore, not Mumbai...), and was joined by another 2 more good friends who were already there downing their 12 year Macallan, so the night turned into a Balvanie+Macallan mixing bash... 


despite the drunkness, we still manage to take a compulsary boh-liaw clan groupshot...


before he got really wasted and disoriented, and start hugging the Balvanie bottle with the 'Kari Poonani' scribble [look carefully] that I wrote..... :)

and you think food served in pubs sucked...


was at Ipanema having beer with Daniel the other night when I felt like ordering some finger food because I didn't have dinner that night. ordered Lamb Bits and Mussels, and the dishes came out to be pretty impressive... especially the later...


chunks of deep-fried lamb... compliments well with the mayonnaise...


slightly cooked mussels with melted cheese... damn good stuff, add on more mayonnaise if you want to...
