It can't have been the food he was referring to when reporters asked about his stay after he signed bail papers for his release at the Jalan Duta courts on Friday.
He did not get a chance to say much either. His lawyer, Chong Joo Tian, quickly ushered Alvin and girlfriend Vivian Lee into waiting cars, and they were driven off separately.
Chong said the two were "happy to be out."
"They need time to rest. We'll take it from here," he told reporters later.
Alvin, spotting a crew-cut hairstyle and in the clothes he wore when he was charged last Thursday, continued acting defiant.
He was smirking at reporters and bystanders upon his arrival at the court house in handcuffs and after he was released.
Vivian, however, walked a step behind Alvin looking somewhat lost. She covered her face with her hair; dressed in the pink t-shirt, black three-quarter pants and pink flipflops she wore when she was charged last week.
A bystander commented that it was surprising she could "show everything on the Internet but cannot show her face in court".
But the two looked "made for each other" when they signed their bail bonds, holding hands and chatting animatedly at the court's registration counter
Their RM30,000 bail was posted yesterday by Alvin's mother.
High Court Justice Mohd Azman Husin allowed bail of RM10,000 for each of the three charges against them over their Facebook posting of them eating a pork dish while wishing Muslims Selamat Berbuka Puasa and uploading pornographic images on their blog.
He also ordered them to surrender their passports and prohibited them from uploading pornographic and provocative images, and using seditious words in the Internet that could touch religious and racial sensitivities.
The two were also forbidden from using network communication devices, including smartphones and iPads, and were ordered to report to the nearest police station on the first day of each month.
