得閑飲茶 (duk han yumcha)

I am sure that everyone has done this before.
Lets say you bump into some old friend and after some small talk, you end it with this polite phrase:
"得閑飲茶."
(Let's do drinks sometimes)
But how often do we end up drinking with that old friend?

Recently, I have been enjoying the comfort of this phrase since I came back to Malaysia for my summer break. Since high school, I have always been the one whom organized house party, group gathering etc. But lately, I am not so much in the mood to entertain.

Yes, there are important friends that I do want to meet and I make sure it's not a '得閑飲茶' session but more like a ‘喂,星期六飲茶咯’。

I used to be more of a control freak whereby I have to confirm drinks, lunch and dinner plans with friends like a million times.
Now if people don't contact me, I will just treat it as a 得閑飲茶..
No fuss, less trouble.

The Chicken Rendang from Madam Kwan (MK). Yes.. I know... why would anyone want to eat there..
Well 5 years ago, it would almost seems like a money sink to go into MK. But nowadays comparing with other eatery such as Delicious, Alexis etc, MK is not THAT expensive and it taste pretty good too.

But nowhere in Nirvana will I pay RM 20 for some 芙蓉蛋!
