The Emperor's visit..... and glorious food!

I spent a whole Saturday surfing the internet in my hotel room. I was pretty much left alone. Swollen foot was giving me Hell. ouch!

I had the pleasure of having the Emperor with 48 concubines descent on my humble hotel room, accompanied by the Rainbow Queen and his Imperial Physician. My porky foot was scrutinized, criticised and pigtured. duh! It's more famous than my pretty face. *cough... cough....*

I was presented the delicious, reknowned Assam Laksa of Penang! And the Emperor's prized lormaikai (steamed glutinous rice with chicken and mushroom) that was absolutely delicious! A curry puff and some siewmais. ^-^


The Emperor made a quick call to Housekeeping and bowl, napkin, cutlery were nicely set for an Imperial meal on my bed. Special Imperial services of massage and the offer to change me into my bikini for a dip in the inviting hotel pool! tsk tsk tsk..... the porky foot evoked the Emperor's lusty imagination of a curvaceous porky body. hahaha......



We had a fantastic time suan-ing (hurling verbal abuses... hehehe.... ) one another! ahhh..... it was the time where I felt so alive after my painful accident! Thanks for these great souls, for their wonderful companionship and gifts of love.

Chris arrived after 9pm. I was famished and devoured the food he bought like a hungry wolf. Would the weak and softie doctor be makaned had I taken up his offer of dinner? mwahahaha.....

Come night, pain descended with such intensity, I had to resort to more painkillers. It was raining heavily outside, Heaven crying over my painful ordeal? :)

************************oo8oo***************************
Early Sunday morning I was awokened by gastric pain. More painkiller and back to blogging. Chris managed to recce the area round the hotel and swim in its pool.

The Terrible Trio returned with the Famous Assam Laksa by the Longkang and sweet, sweet rambutans! And the latest fashion of The Emperor's New clothes was revealed! Gasp! Sexsational. :)

On Sunday, at 10pm, borrowing the wheelchair from the hotel, Chris pushed me down for dinner with the Terrible Trio at Chilli's. Dr Bernard arrived after an Emergency surgery. I suspected he rushed through the surgery just to have dinner with us because he needed to return to check on the patient. Probably left the scalpel inside the stomach. ho ho ho.... nay, he's a responsible surgeon. :)
We had gigantic mouths matching humongous burgers! And a Molten Chocolate dessert of sinful choclate cake and vanilla ice-cream!


After dinner, back to the room for more porky leg jokes and orgy camwhoring! Woot! This is a Blogger Meet that I received the most big hearty HUGS! :)


Genie sent me a Food Directory of Penang.
So very kind of her!

  5. "Hello, Housekeeping? Could you bring up a nice pretty white dinner bowl to Rm 120x, please?"

    "Sure, Sir! Right away. Is that for the poor invalid soul who tripped up at Reception yesterday? We have special invalid bowls to cater for our Steps Challenged guests.."

    "Hahahahaha *muffled*!! Shhhhh, please! She has already suffered enough, but yes, and make sure the bowl is trip-proof, ok? Thank you."

  19. This is one of the most delicious-looking posts I've seen for a long time!

    Hey listen:

    I've tagged you as a "friend" from MyBlogLog. It's one of those "things about myself" things.

    But I've added a bit of a twist to it; you've gotta find other bloggers you're "friends" with, but haven't really had much contact with.

    Here's the link:
    http://mdabase.blogspot.com/2007/07/tuesday-july-24th-2007-helsingborg-to.html

    Good luck.

  20. Lucky the pictures here not as torturing as L B's. Hahahaha!!

  21. Ah ... good to read that your friends treat you so well :)

    Assam Laksa of Penang eh? I love Laksa. I drive all the way up to Penang from Singapore just to taste their Laksa. Oh ... they have 2 other types too. The curry creamy type (that Singaporeans should be very familiar with) and the Thai style Laksa. You should try them all. The Thai one can be found near that very famous Chinese Goddess temple.

    Ahhhh ... I miss Penang! Anyway. Happy to read that you are in high spirit :)

  22. ECL, the last time I was there was when the tsunami happened - and it was a very significant day for me as well! Nowadays I mostly stay in KL.

  44. Get well soon, hot mama!

    What's this crap and slander from Ping.sg Uzyn and his rats? You should sue them.

    For someone who have foreign students and foreign friends who stayed with you; tuition teachers, classmates and friends of your students; staff and your friends who dropped in frequently, it is not unusual for them to use your wifi to surf or comment on your blog. And because it is public and shared in the house, it is subjected to abuses too.

    This foreign trash is so mean to ban you and even spam you from a wifi spot. And you were right he took away your awards! Has he returned them? You should teach these so-called university graduates a lesson!

    He's entrepreneur? Pui! Take sponsor's money and no receipt? He thinks he taking money from his father? Your hubby runs a legal business and needs to pay taxes! Report him!

    For someone who loves to judge others, he should look at himself. And what logic is there you have to apologise to his co-habiting girlfriend because she was upset over your remarks? Your legal husband should be even more upset with the bloody way they treat you. Shameless trash!

    Although you have banned us from commenting on your blog, we feel it is right to come to your defend. Please publish this.

    I'm sure your rich students would chip in with the legal fees unlike those empty vessels who can't even cough up S$200 to return. Talk about pride. They don't have! hahahaha......

  45. Alamak! U so teruk! Always getting into trouble! Be a good girl can???
