Mysterious Big-Spending Malaysian Party Boy

''Everyone's taking notice of a rich guy who's apparently trying to single-handedly save the nightlife industry and give leggy models everywhere something to do.''
His name is Taek Jho Low, a 20-something Wharton grad who loves Cristal.

Not much is known about the baby-faced Malaysian, but tales of his largess are swirling about and frequently as he has been dropping tens of thousands of dollars at hot spots around the city. Here's what we know:

Name: Take Jho Low
Age: 28

Nationality: MALAYSIAN

Occupation: Officially he is an adviser to some international corporations, but no one knows what that means or seems to believe that is the truth. People say he's involved in oil, gas, and construction. He and was appointed to the board of Malaysian bank UBG Berhad last year. It's rumored that he's an arms dealer.
Residence: Rents several apartments in the Park Imperial on West 57th St in midtown that house him and his staff—including several body guards. Famous neighbors include Daniel Craig and Sean Combs.
Motorcade: Travels about town with his entourage in a fleet of Escalades.
Nightclub Spending:

• Spent $160,000 in one night at Avenue this September during Fashion Week.
• Routinely spends between $50,000 and $60,000 at Pink Elephant.
  
• Bought Lindsay Lohan 23 bottles of Cristal at 1OAK when she was celebrating her 23rd birthday.

Birthday Party:

• Just celebrated his 28th year starting last Wednesday with a four-day bash at Ceasar's Palace in Las Vegas.
• Megan Fox was flown out to Vegas to hang out with the birthday boy, who routinely surrounds himself with models.
• The hotel pool was surrounded by caged lions and tigers and filled with girls in bikinis. Later, at a nightclub, Low bought 120 bottles of Cristal for the revelers.
• Jamie Foxx gave him a red sports car for a present.
• Paris Hilton and Usher also attended the party.
  

A Jho Low comes around once in a lifetime," one nightlife insider told Page Six about the man's big-spending ways.


MALAYSIA BOLEH la. REALLY BOLEH!

Chili's @ Midvalley

Looking at the left over pictures in my folder, I can't withhold the temptation to make another review. Went to Lowyat a few weeks ago to get my router done. MAN! THAT PLACE IS HUGE! It was my first visit there, mind you. After that, sisMay, her friend- Ling and I decided to head to Chili's @ Midvalley.

For those who is a fan of Michelangelo's Italian Kitchen, I could assure you that Chili's is the one you should be heading from now on. I believe Chili's is no need of a further introduction to KL people, unless you're from the stone age? :)

For starters, ordered a Bottomless Tostada Chips @ ONLY RM9.95. Warm and crispy tostada chips with flavorful house-made salsa. While waiting for the main course to be served, we already felt full trying to finish the whole thing. Bottomless at RM9.95? @_@

(The salsa sauce were cold-served, personally I would prefer it better if it wasn't served cold)

For main course, Fajita Chicken Classic. Served sizzling with onions and bell peppers. RM31.95 per serving. The chicken, onions and peppers were the ingredients that is to be sandwiched between a roti-canai alike bread. (refer below)


A MUST TRY : Fire-grilled Chicken Fajita Quesadillas @ RM24.95. The chicken marinated with fajita was served with grilled onions and jack cheese in fire grilled tortillas. Love the presentation of the food.

For those that is looking for a better environment for a gathering - In Chili's, the soft drinks and fruit juices are bottomless, meaning you can refill your drink without any limit. IMO, the service were fantastic, great environment and nonetheless, portion was huge. All-in-one package!

I am certainly revisiting one of the branch for a Presidente Margarita.

A Psychology Gamble

My life is a mess at the moment. One of ours once said : ''You tend to get emotional when exam period is near.'' I wouldn't agree more. As a matter of fact, she's right. I tend to over think when I'm all stressed up.


Been arguing with my sisMay a lot recently. All of these issues happened because of the car. sisMay took away the car me and my mom shared as she need it for her job. For the past weeks, I have been asking for helps from my friends to send me home. Appreciate it!
The absent of the car made me realize how badly we need a extra car in the house.
Unfortunately, the day we're getting a car is still to be left unknown...

I was a naive boy who never speak vulgar. To be honest, I only knew the word ''FUCK" (Highlight needed. Not suitable for minor) when I was in Form 3, mind you. But not anymore.
''You practically use it every now and then'', one of my friends told me this. Time seems to be manipulating the nature in me. Is it true that change is the only unchanged thing in the world?

If that is the case, I really don't want to grow up. Unfortunately, that's impossible. For some of the people, they think that speaking vulgar brings out manness in the guy. But I strongly object that statement. To me, it's a sign of disrespect.
Is it possible for me to stop all of these? Only time has the answer.


It's a game of psychology, after all.

Dim Sum @ Sri Hartamas

WAIT!!! Chill.. Don't worry! It's not a food post. IT'S NOT!
Am taking a break from food blogging. *wink*

My 1-week-old 18th years old friend, Isaac got ditched last minute on his birthday last week, therefore some of us decided to surprise him and blindfold him to Sri Hartamas for a simple lunch (forget the blindfold part. Don't want to get caught by police) xD

Since I've no idea the exact location of the restaurant, forced to follow my other friend, Xiao Zhu's car.
Didn't took the trouble to ask him to drive slowly (since I was following behind), cause he looked like those fellow that won't speed. Mana tau? Gave me a shock of my life.
The pick up difference between a 1.5cc and 2.0cc car was so great. I was stoned. Who knew pacing with a 2.0cc car can be such a pain.

Food was served well - cooked upon ordering, but bill was pricey.
Dim sum cost around RM5.00 per plate. But that's okay la. Enjoyment compensates that.
*pat self on shoulder*

Spotted an exotic Bentley on our way home. No wonder they always say that Bangsar, Mont. Kiara etc is where the rich people live.


''OOI! ENVY LA.. Need a god son a not?''

Good 'Old Coffee @ Starbucks

It was a good old coffee day at Starbucks, where everyone (YES! Including YOU) gets to enjoy a cup of 100% tall size responsibly grown ethically traded freshly brewed coffee.
It was a complete coincident discovery as I was just passing by Starbucks @ Sunway Pyramid getting to Redbox.
As a boy who doesn't drink coffee, I took away 2 coffee for my mom and sis. Typical kia-su Malaysian ma. What to do?

For those who are interested to grab your own? It's ONLY available on 7th October (10am-12pm).
So ladies, guys.. Remember to grab a cup of coffee for your own next year. I'll promise to be a friendly reminder.
Later on, off I went to Redbox with the ''multi-racial'' bloggers together with our T4 lecturer from 1st semester.

Things always get wild with these girls around. That's for sure.
And all thanks to Alveena for duet-ing with me, I finally get to sing Love Story by Taylor Swift completely without mistake (maybe a bit la). AHAHA!

''A celebration of perfect 100% passing rate''
In the end of the day, she said:
''I'm no longer your lecturer, we're just friends.'' Indeed, we are.

You Know When..

....you need to put your chatterbox back when your blog readers have been complaining a lot and the following conversation pop up.

FRIEND: EH, JY.. Put back up your cbox can a not?

ME: WHY? Can comment on the post right?

FRIEND: Very troublesome to click ''post a comment'', login etc la. Next time don't visit your blog already la...

ME: (speechless)

Well, I've come to a conclusion that if I receive a minimum 15 comments, I shall put it back up.
Feel free to post your comments on this blog post or on my facebook status HERE.
Results will be due on 24th Oct 2009.

Restoran Chuan @ SS14

It was Saturday (AGAIN!)- one of the weekend where we have to scratch our head, thinking new places for dinner (sometimes I even need to bang my head on my wall, mind you). Just kidding.

While preparing ourselves for dinner,

Dad: Guys, dress up nicely.
JY: Why ah? Going somewhere grand for dinner?
Dad: NO LA.. Going to eat shark only.
JY: Shark fin soup is it? Shark cannot eat la, protected species.
Dad: NO! SHARK for dinner!
Everyone: *looking at each other, stoned*

[THIS IS A STRICTLY A NON-HALAL POST]

Here we are. Restaurant Chuan @ SS14.

Braised Pork's Leg. The meat layered with the fats tasted as awesome as always. Unfortunately, was restricted from eating too much as it contains high level of cholesterol. BOOOOOO!

Shark Cooked with Curry Powder. I find the meat a bit dry. It could be due to the fact that it was cooked with Curry Powder. The other style of cooking may gives a different view of it though.

Black Pepper Stomach Soup. In my opinion, it tasted nice but it didn't reach my standard to be qualify as spicy. Never tried ordering this dish outside, therefore not much comments will be made on it. MY MOM COOKING THE BEST LA...

Although the shop noted that it is 100% Klang Bak Kut Teh, but I had tried MUCH better Bak Kut Teh than this. Strongly recommend not to have Bak Kut Teh here. TASTELESS. Nonetheless, it was still a meal worth the price.

Address :
Right opposite Metropolitan College,
Saw row as Mobil SS14.

Early Mid-Autumn Celebration

A week before the actual mid-autumn festival, the midnight 'kakis' had the urge to light up some candles. Being a vandalizer myself, how could I turn down on such seductive invitation? *imagining the disaster I can cause with the candles and FIRE!*

Had been going out with these kakis for 2 Saturdays straight for midnight basketball session. Beside burning leaves, boxes and even plastic (ooppss..), we did work up a little as well. Hitting 2 birds with one stone.


''Mid-Autumn festival has always been a really lonely festival for me. I remembered when I was a kid, I knew no one in the neighbourhood. Every year, I would be playing candles alone in my car porch. I could recall hearing them laughing out of joy, playing with their lanterns along with other kids.

It was a night worth wasting indeed - sitting on the cozy floor, chit-chatting/zha-ing, and staring at the flames thinking of my past memories of Mid-Autumn. Luckily there weren't any 'mata' (police in Cantonese) there to catch us for 'waxing' the floor and polluting the air.

YS (Guy on right) : *points* OOI.. Polis ah, ASS. CIAO la!!!!
JY and Isaac : You see wrongly la! THEY'RE PROBABLY SLEEPING AS ALWAYS!
