The Wait Is Over.

The 1 year wait is finally over. Tomorrow will be the day we crash into Yohei's house in Tokyo!

The very first time we talked about going to Yohei's was in 2006, when all of us were still in Auckland. I remember how he used to tempt us with the story of homemade mochi and soba. Oh, I can't wait.

Will only be back on the 5th of January 2008. Be patient and you will be rewarded with wonderful photos. Till then, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Sayonara~

Baby Cheer!

I would have to say that I was caught off-guard when I was told that my friend's wife is expecting a baby. Don't get me wrong. I am very very happy for my friend who is going to be a proud daddy soon. He's gonna be a great one at that too.

Congratulations to both of you!

What I Need Right Now.

Caffeine, caffeine and more caffeine. Yohei left for Tokyo via Singapore yesterday morning while nursing a hangover. Last few days was definitely crazy for us and our stomach. It was all drive, see, eat, eat, eat, drive, sleep. I am sure we had pretty much most of the Malaysian food Yohei could stuff into his belly.

We started our journey from Singapore, where Yi Fan and I had to take the 5 hour bus down just to pick Japboy. Was expecting more Christmas lightings on Orchard Road but was deeply disappointed. What happened to those funky-dunky Christmas decors they used to put up long long time ago?!

2 days later, we came back to Kuala Lumpur. At approximately 8.30pm, our foodie tour officially begun. The word 'hungry' was almost never heard of throughout our Malaysian journey. In just 3 days, we had buffet, chinese kopitiam food, Madam Kwan's, pizza at Luna Bar, roti canai, Hainanese chicken rice balls, peranakan food and cendol at Melaka, durian, banana leaf rice, pisang goreng, keropok lekor, apam balik, seafood and plenty of alcoholic drinks.

And just when you thought we will be sick of New Zealand, we got ourselves drunk with NZ's 42Below Vodka.

Yada-yada.

Business has been rather slow lately and we have no idea why. Christmas, perhaps? Speaking of Christmas, I've put up a lovely Christmas tree at the corner of the shop. We also give out free candy-canes to kids who behave. Oh, and we have Santa sitting here, playing his computer. Maybe I'll do a little publicity for him. If you're at Mid-Valley Megamall's Centrecourt and come across Santa, be nice and he might give you some lollys. And if you wanna see how Santa looks like without his Christmas 'do, come by the cafe. You may, or may not be disappointed. That depends. Hahaha!

The internet back home is screwed up. It has become such a huge part of me that without it, I actually have nothing else to do besides Astro-surfing. No new music discoveries yet so far (huh?). I need to continue with my handicraft work. Still a looooooong way to go if I wanna get it done before the deadline!

Heading down to Singapore this coming weekend with Yi Fan to meet Yohei and bring him to KL. Seriously, where do I bring a foreigner to in KL? Suggestions welcomed!
