Ramadhan in KL

Watching some of the drag queens while having Sahur at one of the stalls in Bukit Bintang last night was quite different. One thing that’s very obvious was - they did not dress up as sexy as they would normally do during non fasting months. No Marilyn Monroe’s, No Madonna’s and no Beyonce’s wannabe dresses in sight. Yet, they still looked glamorous with their makeups and hairdos but everything else was rather toned down. Im sure out of their ‘Divaness’, they still have respect for Ramadhan.

Some other friends joined us when we were almost done with the meal. I could not stay long as ‘my driver’ insisted on leaving early so that he could be all freshen up for his 1st day at work after 2 weeks of a so called ‘maternity leave’.

Out of habit, ‘my driver’ was doing 150km/h on Jalan Sultan Ismail but we managed to spot a couple of drag queens soliciting in the street. Whilst some do have respect for the fasting month, some were still keeping up with their ever increasing individualistic needs. Some stay the way they are.

The weakest link

One thing I learned when it comes to a job interview is not to go for an early session. Early like 9am. If they have several sessions to choose from, pick the one in the afternoon, preferably after lunch. Why?

1) You would have plenty of time to get there
2) You wouldn't miss your beauty sleep
3) If you have constipation, you would have plenty of time to sort it out
4) More time to re-iron so claimed ‘wrinkleless’ shirt
5) Chances are, the interviewer might appear happier with full up tummy after lunch
6) Plenty of time to sort out your red eyes

I was assessed by this Oz guy who walked in the office with his business like luggage while I was filling out the usual form, earlier. That’s another thing that I loathe about interview. Why would I need to fill out the entire form with the usual questionnaire of which the answers are so obvious - in the resume that I sent to you!

The one hour spent in the room with him was more like ‘The Weakest Link’ TV program, with a rapid-fire quiz and whether the answers I gave were desirable or not, let’s just see. He told me not to panic if i didnt hear from them next week. He'd need to travel back and forth before a decision is made. ???

"OK, bye for now!", he then walked me to the door.

'HOT POTATO' VOICE

I went to visit a friend who was admitted to a hospital yesterday. He’s looking much better than he was in the last couple of days but he still has not regained his voice yet. I find it a bit strange looking at somebody who used to be so chatty,now remains silent most of the times. It must be horrible to be down with tonsil infection. He has tonsillitis.

What causes Tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis is caused when bacteria or viruses invade your tonsils, causing them to swell. So the general cause of tonsillitis is a bacterial or viral invasion.

Is tonsillitis contagious?
Tonsillitis often spread from one person to another when there is contact of fluids of someone who has tonsillitis.

What's the worst?
Tonsils may swell and becomes exceedingly large impairing your voice sound, and are at that state called ‘hot potato' voice. This used to be the reason why doctors recommended surgical removal of tonsils (tonsillectomy).

So, I do hope he is going to get well soon and hopefully he does not have to through that surgery.

A friendly reminder to all - take it easy when it come ‘fluids associated exchange ‘. Some people may look good on the outside but who knows they might keep a 'bacterial or viral friendly incubator ' on the inside, if you know what I mean ;-)

Hello there!!!

I’M BACK!!!!.............. It’s been quite a while actually. It's just that the combo of jetlag, fasting month and work has really taken its toll on me. I finally blog again with the ongoing support and the crying demand I heard from some of you ;-)

How’s your fasting going? What I can say is that there's no much difference between fasting in KL and in Dublin. Why did I say that? The break fast time is about the same and the weather in KL and Dublin seems very much alike now. Only, in Dublin I could walk around and even climb up the hills sightseeing without feeling thirsty at all. If you ever get to Dublin and even if it's for a short trip, take a quick tour to Bray. The light and easy train ride from Pearce Station in City centre to Bray, southern part of Dublin only takes about 20 mins. The train ride will take you along the cliffs and the coastline. The scenery in a good weather is simply GORGEOUS!!! You must NEVER miss the chance to walk up hill, the Bray Head. On top of the cliff, you would get a perfect view of the sea with a motionless ferry in a distance, the green hill, the beach, the green boxy train, the cathedral, the colourful array of Georgian houses and topped out with a couple of cuties. Nothing is as picturesque as that.

My first visit to Dublin 9 years back was nothing but partying with some old college friends. Now that I see more of Dublin, I thought it is becoming a great city. You would stumble upon exciting shops and restaurants while strolling along the small alleys in the town .

What can I say? I’m in LOVE with Dublin.
I'll tell you more when I have time.

Great to see y’all back!
