The Dwightlight Zone

Hearty jokes from The Dwightlight Zone (courtesy of The Office)

Dwight: Downsizing? I have no problem with that. I have been recommending downsizing since I first got here. I even brought it up in my interview. I say, "Bring it on!"

Dwight: (After he didn't tip the sub man) Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself? I can deliver food. I can drive a taxi. I can, and do, cut my own hair. I did however, tip my urologist, because I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones.

Dwight: Last weekend, I outran a black pepper snake.

Dwight: I overslept. Damn rooster didn’t crow.

Dwight: Although I love this company more than almost anything in the world, I have decided to step down from my post and spend more time with my family. I do not fear the unknown. I will meet my new challenges head-on, and I will succeed, and I will laugh in the faces of those who doubt me. It's been a pleasure working with some of you, and I will not forget those of you soon. But remember, while today it is me, we all shall fall. In other words, I'm quitting.

A hectic house-hunting day

Today my sister Christine and I went house-hunting. It was generally a fun day, with more idea inputs than our usual weekend arguments :-)

The houses in Puchong were nice, but a bit too pricey. I fancy the 2-storey corner link house in Bandar Puteri, it oversees half of the whole Klang Valley. The master bedroom on the 2^nd floor was a bit too big for anyone in my family. Or for both of my parents. They’re really just easy-going, down-to-earth Kampung folks who can go by with anything we hand to them.

Christine likes the 2-storey link house in Bukit Puchong. It has a supposedly ‘safer’ design—the kitchen on the front near the entrance—which enables anyone within the kitchen section, including yours truly as the chef-of-the-hour, to clearly keep an eye on the ‘frontyard activity’ of any suspicious people. On another thought, maybe we could keep a Rottweiler instead…

Puchong is an enormous urban township with green meadow and forest reserves almost everywhere we turn. It was a mining town back in the British colonial times, where the tin eventually went ‘back’ to the British. Funny how we see things sometimes…

Crustacean-Crunching in KELANA JAYA...

Restoran King Crab opposite the Kelana Jaya LRT station (where the big crabbie mascot is viewable even a distance away~) offers some of the best seafood in town. That's what everyone says. I thought it was ok, my sisters thought it was fabulous. The cheese crabs were great (with an exorbitant price like that they'd better be!!!). There were also a dish of prawns cooked with salted egg yolk. The crumbs and bits of the egg yolk were delicious, but I wish there were more.

And then there was also the scrumptious spinach in superior soup stock. It was heavenly. I can confidently say that the spinach were fresh from plucking :-)

After the meal, the 3 of us indulged in rounds of Chinese tea with 'fancy' name (which we later found out it was actually Pu Er tea--something we couldn't live without everytime we go back to our parents' place), and laughed through rounds and rounds of The 'DwightLight Zone' (jokes from The Office, especially from an authority-crazy, know-it-all character called Dwight Schrute), and when our stomach couldn't take it anymore, we asked for the bill (which totaled to an astonishing RM 100) and went back wondering if we could wolf down any more food the next day~

Here's a few pictures I took when we dined there...it was overall an exciting experience - the place reminds of a fancy restaurant but the food is more or less like any other Chinese seafood restaurant...I'd give it a 6
