The best tiramisu I have ever had and arguably the best in Klang Valley though I have yet to try Sara’s one. You have gotta try this place man. My friend says the food is good there as well. The owner Christine is a chatty babe who is just fun to talk to. I have heard people drive from miles away (actually shah alam) just to take home 1/2 a cake

Sara had a shirt tailor made from the cloth we had bought when we were in Saigon last year at a place in Bangsar called Lord’s Tailor. I had one made too, and it fits me like a charm. These guys are really professional and pay very good attention to detail. I think if you bring your own cloth they charge Rm150 for workmenship, but I think its very worth it for the quality of shirts you get made.

Sigh. I just spent close to 1 1/2 hours on the road trying to get to work. The traffic was horrendous! At one particular toll both, my car stood stationary for almost 20 minutes and I was at the SmartTag lane, which was suppose to be the “Fast Lane”. What caused all the jams? Well, a few reasons. One would be the number of cars on the road at rush hour. With public transport being the horror it is, and not enough alternative ways to get out of main suburbs such as Cheras, people are left with no alternatives but to drive. If only our government had the foresight to build better subways instead of spending money on stupid mega projects and white elephants like sending tourist to space.

Other issues like the way our highways are built are another source of problem. 10 lanes merge into 2 lanes, all sorts of funny exists and entrances from major highways and all highways going back into the Federal highway. All these things caused massive jams. With no foresight given to those who planned the city, it seems like KLites are doomed to suffer traffic jams.

Do you forsee a day where KL would be an Olympic City? I doubt we would ever have that honour as we cant even handle day to day traffic much less the influx of tourist. Why can’t there be more traffic police making sure cars stay to the correct lanes and not cheat and jump queues on the road? Why can’t we demolish older buildings and widen all major roads. Why can’t the Putra line go into more suburbs?

Sigh. KL seems doomed. Don’t even get me started on the traffic when it rains.

There are days I wonder if our government does anything at all to keep the law and order around here. Right opposite my office building in Brickfields is a public road opposite a few apartments, just along the LRT tracks. Bellow these tracks are legal free parking spots, yellow boxes for the residents of the area and for people to park. There are no signs to indicate any fees that needed to be payed, and no DBKL people ever issue summons as its a legal parking area. Then suddently out of the blue, we have 2 thugs who decided to make some money and they have started to “collect” parking fees from the people to “allow” them to park thier cars there. They give them a “receipt” and say, must pay. They treaten to scratch the cars if you don’t. Sigh. This is a common problem in Malaysia. You see it all over the place. In streets like Bukit Bintang at night, random people will come out place some chairs on a public street and then charge people to park there. When will the government do something about this? Do they even care?

Is it just me, or is there like no Merdeka feeling this year? Sure, there are a few flags here and there, but it feels to me like Malaysia is not really celebrating our 51st birthday this year. Sigh. What a dissapointement. I think the government is so concerned about Permatang Pauh that our nations 51st birthday has lost its importance. You read the papers today all you read about is Anwar this, Saiful this, Permatang pauh that. Such a sad state of events for Malaysia.

Having said that, I am also very disappointed with all those bloggers who are running the Malaysian flag upside down. No matter how bad things may seem in this nation, there is no excuse for defaming our flag. We live in peace! There are no wars! We have no famine! Sure we have the crazy mat rempits riding around everywhere, but they are so mild compared to the armed militia in some African or Asian countries. I am ashamed at those people who fly the colors of our nation upside down.

Love Malaysia!
