and he said

"damn aku patut tackle kau dulu," after not meeting for a long, long time (i was a fat slob in school).

very flattering. got me smiling for a long time like a mad woman in the attic. although somehow what he said made me think of a tuna fish. tackle. heh.

time for some chai! at Ben's, KLCC. it always exudes that subtle sufistic surge of feeling, considering the role that chai khannas played in ancient Islamic-sufistic poetry gathering and composition. good stuff. cheapest so far in its range. Coffee Bean's chai latte is at RM 12.90 for a small one. Ben's is at RM 8.90 for a teapot double the amount by Coffee Bean, with two almost invisible (i mean thin) slices of almond biscotti, polite waiters and waitresses and a squeaky clean place.

the very epitome of sublime.

chalo, yaar!
