Are you Jimmy Choo?

You know you've made it when your name is being mention in a Pharrel Williams song. I was listening to his latest, "Can I Have It Like That" and in the middle of it, it goes: "from Louisdales to Jimmy Choos is real..."

Whoa, Jimmy, you're the man now, dawg!

For the ones who has no idea who is jimmy Choo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Choo

For the ones who has no idea who Pharrell is, I am sorry.

Halal food in Penang
We all know the char koay teow, the asam laksa and the hokkien(prawn) mee is unbeatable but the problem is, they are non-halal. I have been thinking, what if I need to take my Muslim friends for makan-makan trip to Penang? Is there gonna be enough attractions that I know of? So I have been digging in my memories of halal yummies, and before I forget, here they are:

Nasi melayu at Transfer Road, nasi kandar at various spots, mee udang at Teluk Kumbar, traditional indian restaurant near Rope Walk, roti canai near Hutton Lane, nasi lemak bungkus Riffle Range, mee Sultan at The New World, mee Agong at CRC, pasembur at Gurney, cucur udang at Padang. Oh look, I've got two hands full now (and more to come). Guess I am ready.
What!? By bus!!?

Nazim, with eyes bulging out, asked me, "Whats the problem, man?" He is always puzzled by the horrifying look on my face whenever he told me that he took the public transport home. I can't help it, I don't trust them. Especially the buses. Either they don't come on time, or the schedule is too far apart. And the route, the drivers, I can go on and on and on. Yet, this Orson Welles looking guy, take in at ease, day in day out.
