the clog

Wait, I actually remembered what I wanted to say...

Yeah, anyway, yesterday's post was a total flop. I didn't even want to write that last post but I felt that I hadn't said something in a while and that something needed to be said. Much like those weekly reports you send to your parents to assure them that you're not raping hamsters. You know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I tried too hard to think of something to talk about and ended up talking about nothing (which really seems to happen alot). Anyhoo, I failed to talk about something that happened during the weekend that changed my entire outlook on life: rootbeer. That's right, ROOTBEER. Served in nice frosted mugs to be quaffed whilst listening to the inane banter of like-minded friends.

Perhaps I should rewind a bit. Last weekend, in an attempt to dodge work (that I had piled up using the incredible powers of procrastination), I decided to visit Teddy's house on the grounds that I had a sushi craving (which I did). Somehow that led to us ending up in KL visiting a sushi place that we've never tried before. Why the new place? Well, being the adventurous type, we always try to expand our gourmand horizons by actively seeking out new places to eat. Don't believe me? Ok, the truth is that we couldn't find a Sushi King outlet near where we were (Sugei Wang). And then, there were the trains. That's right, the sushi was served on a little train that went round and round on a track. Being the geek fanboys that we are, Teddy and I were instantly hooked to the concept and were pulled into the restaurant by the sheer coolness of eating off trainsets. Yeah, I guess I really need to grow up. Anyway, the worst part was that I had this insane urge to go out and buy an action figure and tie it down onto the tracks. Good thing I didn't or I'd be barred from another restaurant (don't ask). The story ends with us downing a sizeable portion of sushi (and eye-watering amounts of wasabi) and walking out feeling generally satisfied but still wishing that we had eaten at a Sushi King instead. We walk out of the building and...run smack straight into a Sushi King outlet. The sheer irony of it all. The world still mocks me I see.

Yeah, anyway, the next day we meet up with our longtime absent friend Jeeves. I had made a promise to meet up with him about a week ago. Mostly because I wanted to hear about his girl troubles. I'm like a mak cik (old neighbourly woman who's a bit of a gossip hound, to those readers who don't understand the term) in that sense. I can't help it. I attribute it to the fact that I'm malay ^_^. Anyway, Jeeves wasn't very forthcoming with any details (ho hum) and the Tom Yam Chicken didn't do much to loosen his tongue much. Though in retrospect, I seriously doubt that any sort of chicken would induce a person to speak more about their love life ^_^. Anyway, one thing led to another and we decided to catch a movie. So we all hopped into Tessa and drove to Sunway Pyramid. You know the place. It's the one that looks like it was designed by the same guy who designed the Thundercats' Lair. Anyway, I'm almost up to the end of this long rambling narration: we had time to kill before the movie and Jeeves suggests that we stop and have a drink. What do we drink? ROOTBEER IN FROSTED GLASSES that's what. I've had it before as a kid but I fell a bit out of love with the A&W rootbeer when they started serving it in paper cups to cut costs (evil, I know). It had been years since I last had A&W rootbeer (I was that jaded). BUt Sunday's experience changed all that. I am in love...with rootbeer! My god, there was nothing more satisfying than quaffing a mugful of that frothy goodness. And the reason for all of the goodness was simple: frosted mugs! Anyway, the point that I'm trying to make is that you should go out and drink a mug full of A&W's rootbeer. Right now. It's really good. Go. Now. Shoo!

PS, the movie that we watched was "Walking Tall". It had The Rock, lots of action, little plot and a female lead who's main reason for being in the movie was to treat male viewers to gratuitous flashes of her lingerie. In other words, a great movie to watch if you don't want to use your brain...
