The Days Before Chinese New Year

7 Hours is the time it takes from you to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai.

It is also the time it took me yesterday to travel from KL back to Penang by car. 7 fucking hours in the bloody car! Can you imagine that?!?
Fortunately for me Princess came along for the ride to keep me company so it made the trip a lot less painful. If I had to pick one person to be with me in an enclosed area for a long period of time, I would pick Princess. She’s just so entertaining to be around with and she says the funniest things.
The night before we left for Penang, Princess and I went for a little Chinese New Year dinner of our own at Solaris Mont Kiara. I just recently discovered Solaris and it quickly became one of my favourite places to hang out. I don’t know whether it’s because of the many restaurants or bars or the way the place is lit up at night… but I just love it.
Princess and I picked this restaurant called Empire that served pretty fine-dining like food. It was Friday night so we decided to spoil ourselves. Plus the restaurant was having a promotion where if you spent more than RM150, they would give you 20% off your total bill. 
We tried to make good that offer but later on realized how painfully hard it is for two people to eat RM150 worth of food assuming you don’t order any alcohol. 
Heck, we took out our little calculators and calculated everything. Even if the both of us had appetizers and dessert, we still wouldn’t have made enough to hit RM150 so we decided to let go of our kiasuness in the end and do without appetizers and dessert ie fine dining budget style.
Halfway through our meal the chef came out and asked us about the food which I thought was fantastic! We later got to talking a little and I asked the chef “Hey where’re you from? Are you from around here?”
And suddenly he looked around the restaurant and whispered to us
“I’m from Singapore… but don’t let anyone know”.
I was a little surprised at his reaction. I couldn’t understand why! So I told him so what if someone knows you’re Singaporean. Malaysians don’t discriminate against Singaporeans and vice versa. I’ve loads of Singaporean friends… heck my business partner is Singaporean. 
In fact I think Malaysians and Singaporeans are very much alike. Look at the way we speak English. Nobody else in the world speaks English like us.
Anyway we ended the night early. Princess and I had to drive back to Penang together tomorrow and she was staying over at my place. Unprepared as usual she must’ve forgotten to bring her pajamas or something so she ended up running through my closet (without my permission) and grabbing herself a t-shirt and shorts of mine.
The next thing I noticed when I went looking for her was this.
She was standing in the toilet reading a book while removing her make-up.
Forget my amusement on how a girl can remove her make-up and read a book at the same time… pay attention to how my bermuda shorts look like on her.
It practically looked like she was wearing long pants!
Hahahahaa cute little Princess. 
Reminds me of the time she was wearing a bath robe at the Venetian.
Can you even see any part of her leg?
Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
