Happy New Year!

Boo!

It's finally Year 2010, yet another year passed by. Lots of stuff happened over the past 12 months, some happy, some sad... regardless, there are all now part of my memories, I wouldn't say it's a good year but it ain't bad as well, things changed when time flew by, that's how it's supposed to be, right?

I am definitely looking forward to have a good year, so before anything else... it's party and celebration time! =p I took the day off for new year's eve, simply because I don't feel like working till late even on a day where everyone's celebrating. My day starts pretty late since I get to sleep in, watched Nodame Cantabile Live Action, which is really really awesome... still yet to finish but I definitely will. =)

I am also thrilled when the courier guy rung my bell and delivered my new bag that I ordered the day before, I thought it's not gonna make it so I am really happy!

Of course, the bag is pretty and all good, I'm loving it and have been using it ever since.

I also bought this cute little toothbrush holder, isn't it very creative? Hehe... I am seriously gonna do more online shopping, so convenient and easy, no hassle like finding car park in malls or too much people in the store.

EdeNz came after work to pick me up for dinner, and Matt managed to join us too... we don't like to go to crowded place and would love to avoid any jams, so we decided to go for Shabu Shabu at Kuchai Lama, though it's not been that long since we went the first time... Unexpectedly, there's a long queue when we arrived, I thought most people would choose to go party or countdown and stuff like that...

So, after we put our names down for the queue, I went to a boutique nearby to kill some time, and it happens that the boutique is having a 50% sale, yes everything is -50%, how wonderful is that lol...

The boutique's name is F Block and they give pretty shopping bags.

Cute top.

Pretty dress, the pattern is really nice, just couldn't see properly in this photo.

Lot's of cute dresses but it's quite rare that I get any chance to wear one, in the end I bought a blouse and a pretty skirt, all together they cost around RM70+. Good deal! XD

For dinner, it's lots of food, especially pork slice lol... since it's buffet, we just keep ordering... other stuff are good too, generally, we didn't find anything that is bad here... yummy!

Pork overload.

There are 3 soup base to choose from, clear, miso and tomyam.

We all ate lot while keep chatting, fun times! The good thing about this place is it's properly air-conditioned so we never sweat and the food comes on the conveyor belt or served, so we don't have to fight with aunties or uncles at the food counter. =)

Not to forget fruits and dessert after a satisfying meal.

We sat there for almost 2 or 3 hours I guess, chatting and eating... time do passed by fast when you're happy and enjoying the moment.

Got back home just 10 minutes before the clock struck 12.00... happy and satisfied. So that's goodbye 2009, welcome 2010!

My Christmas

Boo!

Happy Boxing Day! I don't have any box to unwrap though...

Hehe... so how does everyone spent their Christmas day? For me, it's just another holiday so EdeNz and I went to Mid Valley to have fun. =) The place is soooo packed, even finding parking is so difficult and the area is totally jammed up.


So, we started off with a quick lunch and then watched Sherlock Holmes. The movie was out just 2 days ago, luckily I managed to booked the tickets in advance, as usual the queue is scary at the cinema. The movie is awesome though, I like the olden western style of setting, pretty cool. The story is great, I never read the novels before though so I couldn't compare but I love how Sherlock explain everything so logically and smart lol... This movie is definitely worth watching, for the intelligent deductions and the jokes, not to forget the awesome storyline. =)


After the movie it's time for dinner and we ended up at Sushi Zanmai again, lots of people as usual but seats for 2 people seems easier to get. We ordered some food, pretty much the usual ones... Oh, they changed the menu a little it seems, so there's a few new items and the special menu for yesterday was Lobster Cheese Rice burger (the photo above), it was yummy, I love it... I think it's for a limited time only...

It's still pretty packed after dinner, hard to walk around when there's people everywhere you go to... so we went to Starbucks for a drink, too bad they ran out of Toffee Nut... I guess it was the last day for the Christmas Specials. While having a drink and surfing the net, I was deciding whether I should buy this expensive heels that I really love... hard decision though as you know I am trying to save as much money as possible...

I bought it in the end, I am totally in love with it after trying... it's so comfy and pretty!


It's from Fiorucci, an Italian brand I believe, the cost of this pretty heart heels is RM269 after 10% discount and I got 2 RM10 discount voucher as well. I'm happy that I got it, sad at the same time it's so bloody expensive lol... why can't the local shoe boutiques try to come out with something like this, unique designs, pretty and comfy at the same time?

A happy outing for me, and soooo tiring after walking around whole day doing so many things... ah well, that's how I spent my Christmas day.

^StarrY^

Birthday.

Boo!

Sunday is gonna be over in no time, it's workday again. *sigh* I guess there isn't much people that is happy to go to work, what's better than being be able to laze around at home and do whatever you want? =p

My birthday was like 2 weeks back, only posting now because I'm busy and lazy at the same time, busy with new job, lazy to get the photos... Birthday was fun, I get to celebrate for 3 days, because my birthday falls on a weekend and Monday is public holiday due to National Day. XD

Saturday is shopping day, EdeNz and I went to One Utama, that's like the first time ever... me going there just to shop, well... my experience that day tells me that the place isn't that great. I guess I will still stick with Mid Valley and occasionally Sunway Pyramid. I did bought some stuff, maybe I will post some photos here next time, but I do have a shopping photo album on Facebook. =)

We also went Neway, singing is always fun lol... but it's tiring if you keep singing for 3 hours, don't even want to move anymore. We had dinner at a Korea BBQ Restaurant - Seoul Garden. I went to this restaurant once in Singapore and the impression is good, however the outlet here is just normal to me... they don't serve pork here and the food just seem a little different. I had fun eating and chatting, ate a lot as well hehe...

Back home that night, my mom bought me a jelly birthday cake, it's Garfield with a birthday cake, really really cute! It's so lovely that I refuse to cut the cake and eat it hahaha...


I'm lucky to have my cousin sister and her friend visiting that weekend, so after singing birthday song and stuff, everyone enjoy eating the jelly cake, it's layers of jelly and it's refreshing, not too sweet. I like this cake more than the normal ones, you can't get bored of it lol...

On Sunday morning, which is my birthday, my parents, EdeNz and I went to have Japanese BBQ Buffet Lunch at Daidomon @ Great Eastern Mall. This place is quite new I think, recently saw ads that they are having discount, so we decided to give it a try, my dad's treat, great! XD The food there is good, especially the BBQ squid and scallop. I love the scallop there, it's really big and juicy, too bad they limit each table to only 1 plate, if not I will certainly order more hahaha... The restaurant is quite packed during lunch, but not over crowded, which is a good thing.

As for Monday, EdeNz, Matt and I went to watch District 9 at Mid valley, as posted in this entry... and when we can't decide what to eat for dinner, we went to Pasta Zanmai. EdeNz was against the idea saying that it's a weird combination and all... after the meal, he proven totally wrong, lol. The food there is great, I love it! The best part is the price here is cheaper than Sushi Zanmai and there's no long queues just to eat dinner. =) No pictures for this one, just too busy talking and forgot about taking picture, so maybe next time. =p

I am really happy for the entire weekend, tired but satisfied, ate so much nice food... what else is better than being able to have good food always? =p More food entries coming up!

Valentine's Day 2009 @ Mid Valley

Boo!

It's gonna rain soon, office is becoming colder... The weather changes so easily now, yesterday was so hot and now it's pouring already. Anyway, a short update on my Valentine's night. =p

It was a rather simple one and we spent our night in MV. We didn't plan much since we don't really like to be overcharged and go to crowded places with everyone else. We reached MV around 5 something then walked around the mall, there isn't so many people like some other weekends, guess everyone else is somewhere else...

Teddy Mountain on display, so nice! I want this lol...

There's a lot of jewelry promotions going on in the mall and I still see so many people at the cashier and everyone around me is talking about economic crisis? Hmm... Weird. I asked EdeNz to get me something but he said he will save the money and get me one next time, haha... XD

We went San Francisco Steakhouse for dinner, ordered their Valentine's Dinner Set. It comes with a soup, a crab cake, grilled cod fish as the main course and chocolate fudge with Vanilla ice cream as dessert. The soup is not that nice because it was not hot enough, the crab cake was just normal. The main dish is nice and filling. I am already full half way trying to finish the dish haha... The dessert is nice, I love the Vanilla ice cream hehe...

Valentine's present for this year...

After dinner we walk around again, since both of us are so full... Pass by some stalls and EdeNz finally decided to buy me a simple bracelet haha... Just a cheap one though, maybe I can get something better on my birthday, hehehehe... XD

ROC's Gathering @ Jogoya, Starhill

Boo!

The Internet connection right now sucks... I can barely load any pages and it's so slow! Yesterday was worst, I was planning to update my blog yesterday night but couldn't do it because my telephone line was cut off for some maintenance which I don't know what is it all about... =( I got my line back right now but I can't even go to Facebook, it sucks... Hope this matter can be solved quick else I will go crazy during the weekends...

Back to the point anyway...

The last big event for my CNY this year is ROC's guild gathering at Jogoya last Saturday, it was fun and it's nice to meet everyone again, although I am not really updated about things but I still enjoy listen to all the exciting stories, haha...

Outside Starhill.

CNY Party in front of Pavilion, so many goodies bags!

We reached Starhill around 5.45pm, caught in a huge crowd of people on the way because there was a celebration at Pavilion and everyone is camping out... Met up with some guys then went into the restaurant. It was quite early that time so not many people are there yet, including the leaders, haha... XD Well, we help ourselves with the food... Looked around and I think the only good thing there is the desserts... Other food are pretty normal to me, it can be found in any Japanese buffet, nothing special at all.

Some Oysters...

We started with some sashimi, it's just okay... could be better. Later, we explore the fried dishes, the scallops, the oysters... Tried pretty much all the food that we think it's interesting. Too bad there are some food that is only for VIPs and we can't have them, those dishes look so much better! After a while, we move on to the desserts, ate quite a lot of them actually. Chocolate cookies, tiramisu and ice cream! I love those but too bad I couldn't eat that much on the day because I wasn't feeling too well.

Dragon in front of Jogoya, looks cool.

We eat and chat until everyone is satisfied then we hang out in Starhill a little longer, since it's such a rare chance for people to meet up and talk, I bet everyone can go on and on all night, haha... After a group photo session, some of them went for clubbing and the others like me went home. I was pretty tired and sleepy already at that time.

Wonderful fireworks in the air...

On the way back to our car, we saw fireworks in the sky! It's so close and so big, totally amazing. This is my first time looking at the fireworks at such close distance and it's beautiful... What a memorable way to end this gathering. I do hope we will have more gatherings in the future... Let's just see how the guild future will turn out.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Boo!

I believe everyone's already enjoying the CNY holidays, lanterns and light decorations, mandarin oranges everywhere on the street. It's the atmosphere for happiness and celebration!

It's the Ox Year! (Yes, it's my year!)

Since I was a kid, I always look forward to Chinese New Year, that's one of the happiest holiday in a year... you get to wear new clothes, eat lots of sweets and cookies, get lots of angpau and you can play whole day! Yup, I really love Chinese New Year back then.

I still love Chinese New Year now but perhaps for some different reasons, afterall... I am not a kid anymore and my likings and preference do change overtime. For now, my top 3 reasons to look foward to Chinese New Year are...

Angpaus!

Love Angpaus (with money inside of course!) =p

Yup, no matter how old I am, I still love money, who doesn't?

Holidays!

One whole week of holiday for me...

Ever since I started working, holidays became so rare compared to school days...

Cookies!

Looks yummy?

Although cookies are nice, I only choose a few to eat now, but still there are the best and is only available during Chinese New Year.

I am sure everyone look foward to such a great festival for different reasons, nevertheless...

Happy Chinese New Year!

Enjoy the celebration and be safe at all times.

Eagle Eye, watching you from everywhere...

Sushi King RM2 Bonanza is back! From 13th to 16th October (Monday to Thursday), anyone interested to go together? Feel free to let me know. I will be free on all days except Tuesday night. Let's join the fun and eat as many sushi as you can!

Boo~

It's been a month since the last update, just too lazy nowadays... =/ and also busy fluffing playing (fluff) friends. =p There are a few things to update actually, but I am kinda lazy right now too, so maybe next time lol. But then, September was quite a good month, I went sushi hunting a few times, went Genting with Matt and Bombie too... In the end, spent so much more than I expected. =(

Anyway, I just watched this nice movie with EdeNz on Friday, it's pretty cool... Eagle Eye. At first, I had no idea what this movie is all about, I just booked the tickets since EdeNz want to watch this and I am kinda bored at home during the long holiday last week... Well, I am glad that I did watch this. =p

The main casts.

It's an action movie but there are some comedy elements in it too, so it's not too boring. I am pretty amused by how they actually potray the story, it totally attracted me, since I don't have a clue what is it all about. XD The show has cool computer systems, AI and stuff... How good if those exist in reality, it's gonna be cool, it will help us in all sort of things, if used properly though...

Back to the movie, it's about a computer system which is very intellegent and powerful named Aria, used in military stuff basically... Then due to some program logic problem, the computer system wants to kill all the important people like the President and such, so these people who know about it have to stop her, it's really hard since she can basically track anyone down using cameras, cellphones or any device which can send signals out. Sound dangerous huh. =p The movie has a happy ending of course, main character as the hero and manage to save everyone and then everything goes back to normal...

It's a new movie so it should be in cinema for a while, go watch it while it's there, because it's really cool! XD

After the movie we went steamboat with Matt and Bombie at Yuen's, my favorite, hehe... We cook, we eat, we chat... until everyone is full and satisfied. =) Went back home after that, totally exhausted that day but I had fun! The best day during this holiday, but I am kinda sad it's Sunday already, because it means it's back to work tomorrow. =( I really really love to sleep till noon, wake up, chit chat, fluff, play, eat... No worries, no stress, no problems... Just like a kid. =D

^StarrY^

Busy Weekends...

Boo~

Kinda bored right now at work, so might as well visit my blog... I haven't been updating my blog 'cos there's nothing much to write, or should I say I don't have the mood to write anything, lol...

The past 2 weekends have been very busy for me, I went to Damai Laut, Lumut on a company trip... It's by the beach just opposite Pangkor Island. The beach there is not that nice and it's quite dirty since there are so many annoying flies around, haha... It's very hot too. The resort is ok though, quite big and it's comfortable. There are some activities like banana boat and kayak there, but I didn't play any because the sea is really dirty, makes me no mood to play. =(

The last Saturday, which just passed by, is my convocation day... After a year since I finish my course, haha... Went to Renaissance Hotel for the event, lots of people are there, get to see my college friends too. Just that the aircond there sux... It was super hot even when we were in the ballroom. =( The function is a pretty simple one, got my "scroll" (it's empty lol) and then that's it. After that there are refreshments and everyone is busy taking photos here and there.

I will definitely go out to have my own time this weekend, shopping, movie, food... Kinda bored at home sometimes, since I don't know what to do and don't have the mood... Hehe...

Back to work I guess, haha...

PC Fair @ KLCC

Boo~

Here goes another weekend, it always feels so short when I am having fun, lol... This weekend is indeed one of the better weekends where I have all the time to myself to do anything I want to do, it's been a long time since I get to spend a weekend like this. =/ Coincidently, this year's first PC fair falls on this weekend as well, haha...

EdeNz, Matt and me went to PC fair to walk around and get some stuff for ourselves on Saturday... Left the house around noon and had lunch at KLCC's food court before walking to the convention center. Luckily the sun is not around when we walk pass the KLCC garden hehe... As usual, there are lots of people around, in and out... I wonder if everyone went there to actually buy some stuff or just for sake of the show girls *winks* or they just have too much free time lol...

The layout of the fair is same as the previous one, so everyone has to walk around 1KM from the entrance all the way up to the exit which passes by around 7 halls I think...There are halls for laptops and PCs, audio system and the rest of it for PC accessories and stuff... Some area are not so packed, maybe no one is interested in those products... and some areas are full of people that you can hardly move... >_<" Especially some booth that sells something cheaper than the rest, it's crazy! People just keep hanging around the booth, I don't know if they are actually buying something or not though.

We spent around 3 hours inside, walking, looking and buying stuff... Matt bought a router and a dvd burner and I bought a external HDD, DVDs and earphones for myself... EdeNz didn't buy anything lol! =p I am so broke now, all those stuff used up my monthly savings... T_T Well, at least I finally got myself extra disk space, don't have to keep burning animes to DVDs or limit myself not to download so many series at a time. XD Anyone has any good anime series to share, tell me! Hehe... I also got a set of rechargeable batteries from the Sony Lucky Draw, hehe... That guy actually have to take a photo as proof. =_="

It was raining when we wanted to leave but we managed to use another way to get back into KLCC through Mandarin Oriental hotel, just follow the crowd haha... (by EdeNz) After that we went to Burger King and get something to eat and rest, so tired after walking and standing for so long, and hungry too! Hehe... We finally left KLCC around 6 something, feeling very tired especially my legs lol...

I only realize that I didn't take any pictures at the fair after I got back home... too bad. =( There's actually quite a lot of interesting stuff to share, hmm... Like how almost everyone has an Intel paper bag with them, a very nice way to do advertisement and Dell actually printed their bag in pink... People sitting on the corridors and at the side of the hall... Hehe, so many stuff can't remember all, but it was fun overall besides spending so much money lol...

^StarrY^

Sushi King RM2 Promo

Boo~

It's time for food again, hehe... Sushi! My all time favorite... This time it's not something very expensive again, it's just the opposite... each plate of sushi only cost RM2.00 at Sushi King Member's Promotion Days. XD As a sushi lover, of course I wouldn't miss out such a great chance to eat all the expensive sushi I like, which I will never touch during normal days. Sushi King's standard is just average when it comes to sushi but the price is just very irresistible!

The promotion lasted for 4 days, today being the last day but I managed to go for 2 meals which is Monday night with EdeNz and Bombie and Wednesday night with EdeNz and Matt. =) On Monday night, we chose to go to Summit, thinking that most people wouldn't go there as normally that place is empty. I was surprised to actually see so many people queuing up outside the restaurant when we reach, lol... We waited around 20 to 30 minutes before we manage to get a seat, quite a good one. =p

Summit's Sushi King restaurant, very small... Can't fit much people.

Eating sushi.

Chatting while waiting for new sushi.

Hmm, those are the plates I ate...

7 Plates, still counting. XD

Here are all the plates we three ate, try count and see?

Sushi just went round and round the belt, we always choose our sushi carefully, since we can't eat too much as the rice fills up the stomach really fast. We saw quite a number of people there only choose the most expensive purple-colored plates which costs RM6.00 normally. XD There's also a couple who sat beside us complaining to the waitress that they can't get any sushi lol! Because we took all the nice ones before it even reaches them haha... =p Ah well, we spent around 1 and half hours there, eating and chatting, before we decided to give our place to those pity people waiting outside the restaurant... We waited quite long as well, so it's the same! Hehe...

Since this promotion only comes twice a year, 8 days in total... I didn't want to waste the chance. On Wednesday night, EdeNz and I meet up Matt at Sunway Pyramid for another round... Hehehe... There are more people here, obviously lol... So we waited around 45 minutes I think but we were quite lucky that we got a good seat again, just beside the chef... XD Well, I find the choices of sushi in Sunway Pyramid is more and this time, I only picked red-colored and purple-colored plates, you don't get any chance to eat this sushi normally you know. =p People there were basically trying to get all the expensive sushis, leaving quite a lot of normal sushis on the belt. I guess it's a norm, common sense right? Haha...

Sunway Pyramid's Sushi King.

All the plates together.

Hmm, I think it's 25 plates.

My portion, hehe...

When we decided to leave, there is still a long queue outside and it's already 9pm... Can't believe everyone love sushi so much lol, or people just come to eat just because it's cheaper than usual? Besides, it's a bit crazy to queue up for so long, I think many people gave up while waiting for seats.

I had fun eating, enjoyed having all the nice sushis for 2 days, now looking forward to the next promotion which will be at the end of the year. Hehe... I guess I won't go for sushi in a while, to make sure I don't get bored of it haha...

General Election 2008

Boo~

Supposed to write this entry earlier, but well, you should know by now I don't really have time to spare nowadays... Other than working, there's this project that I am involved in which took up a lot of my free time. =/ Hopefully everything goes well and by that time, you will know what it is all about. XD

Back to topic, a very interesting topic actually... It's the most interesting general election ever in the history of Malaysia simply because we as normal citizens finally have a real feel of what democracy is all about. In the past, the government party (BN) easily swept all the parliament seats and all the states government seats as well, except for Kelantan. However, we see a very big change this time where BN barely survive in getting enough seats to form the government, does this really mean that the people of Malaysia has finally open their eyes?

A lot of discussion are going on, a lot of scandals, a lot of news... So many that you don't really know who is telling the truth. One thing for sure, this election has proven a point that the people wants a government that can bring growth and prosperity to the country and for the people. Everyone is tired of having a government that invest millions of money for something that the country do not need and it does not do any good to the people as a whole.

I do remember seeing BN's posters during their campaign claiming that they have given us a secured place to live, so my question would be, how secured is our home when crime rate is increasing rapidly and the police force couldn't do anything about it? Having bunch of Mat Rempits on the highway during midnight waiting to "have fun" is secure? Lol. The election results has proven that the people are not stupid and brainless, we have eyes to see, we can feel and we are able to judge ourselves, whether the government is doing anything for us. In fact, the government has made all of us, regardless of races, so angry that we don't even care who is on the opposition, we just want to send a message across that we are angry, we hate the way you run the country!

No one has expected that half of the nation thought of teaching BN a lesson by giving their vote to the opposition at the same time, which results in giving 5 most developed states to them. It's too late to say anything since the results are out but we can surely look forward to see what both parties will do for us in order to gain our support. I am pretty sure that both parties will try their hardest to prove themselves because the nation has matured and we can now make our own decision to bring us what we want.

For BN, it's time to really think about the things you have done in the past and what will you do in the future. It's a very clear signal to you that we don't like the way you rule. We do hold the power to decide whether we still want you as our government or not.

For the opposition party, this is your golden chance that you have been waiting for, a chance to prove yourselves useful. You will never know if we might continue support you for the next election if you are really good and you can bring good to the country as a whole.

I place hope in this new government which is not so one sided now because I believe competition always bring improvements and if the ruling party does more for us, the people gain the most benefit and our country will become better. We shall see what is waiting for us in the future, everyone is excited to welcome the new government. =)

CNY: Back to KL...

Interesting News: On Valentine's Day, someone actually spent RM40,000 for a billboard advertisement to propose to his grilfriend. Wow! Romantic? Creative? Show off? Click to see the news article.

Boo~

These few days I have been so busy with stuff around that I have forgotten to update the last part of my CNY entry haha... This morning, I just went CNY visit again, this time with my colleagues. XD It's gonna be over soon, so better go visit all friends and relatives around to collect as much ang paus as possible! =p

So where did I stop? Hmm... The next morning I came back to KL with my uncle and cousins, they will be taking bus back to Penang from the KL bus station. We left Singapore around 7 and there's actually quite a number of people at the checkpoint already... Had breakfast after that and around noon, home sweet home! Hehe... I have been away for just 3 days but it feels so good to actually step inside my house again, felt relax and happy. Hehehe... Then we went for lunch at Tai Tung restaurant near my house, at Cheras Plaza... I didn't expect to see such a huge crowd there, seems like there's many people that stays in KL even during CNY time.

The table.

My mom and me ordered a few simple dishes and my brother took a few dim sums. The dim sum there is actually quite good but it's a bit pricey... Then after waiting for quite some time, they finally serve us our dishes, so hungry that time lol...

3 type of meat.

First dish is a mixture of roast chicken and roast pork, I don't really like roast pork so I didn;t try it but the roast chicken was ok, just normal... But the chilli sauce is very sweet, doesn't suit the taste of the roast chicken at all and it's not spicy as well. =(

Giant to fu. =p

Then we have a to fu dish, which is recommended by the waitress, it's really big piece of to fu and it's smooth. I think it is made with egg, quite nice, I love it together with the sauce. Yummy. XD Each person had one big piece as there are 8 of us in total...

Yam bowl with chicken!

Next up is a quite special dish which I don't really know what they call it in English, but it's a bowl filled with chicken inside. The bowl is made of fried yam, nice fragrance and crispy and the chicken is fried with dried chilli and cashew nuts, "kong po" style hehe... Love this dish as the chicken is really sweet, juicy and smooth... So nice that I actually ate a lot haha... =p The yam is good as well, my dad say this dish is one of the best among the chinese restaurants around town. So if you have the chance, go ahead and try it and you will love it. XD

Then we also ordered vegetables, balance diet is very important =p and of course white rice, haha... No pictures because nothing special but the vegetable is really sweet, love this kind of vege. XD Everyone felt so full after finishing everything, in fact we had to take some time to actually clear every single dish, lol... I felt satisfied and happy, what's more important than feeding your lovely stomach good food? =p

^StarrY^

CNY Days in Singapore

Note: Anime List updated.

Boo~

On the first day of CNY, I woke up pretty late... around noon, hehe... I was too tired from everything on the previous night I guess. =p Well, due to limited car space, my cousins and I were asked to stay at home while the adults visit a relative which live in Singapore as well, not really close so I don't really bother... Might as well take this chance and get more sleep!

My dad came back and gave us 4 Ang Paus though, hahaha... In SGD. XD After everyone came back, we had lunch together at home and for the rest of the day, my cousins, my mom and I were watching the TV series, cotninue from last night. XD We don't really have much relatives in Singapore so that's why... Most of them are living nearby and all, collecting Ang Paus only take a few minutes without much visiting as everyone comes to visit my grandpa...

Around 10 something at night, we got too bored and feel like walking a bit, so we went down to the nearby McDonalds to have ice cream. =p Something really hilarious happened when we are ordering our McFlurry... As usual, we walked up to the counter and placed our order and wait for the staff to make the ice cream, then as we were chatting, we heard a sound of a container falling... The staff actually poured all the oreos out by somehow removing it's container from the tray on the ice cream machine, don't ask me how he did it. We were like =____= but that's not the funniest part yet... Then the staff quickly ran to the back to get cloth or something to clean up and called the store manager. At that time I noticed that the switch on the ice cream machine is turned on without having any cup below it... So the ice cream keep flowing out, turning and turning... While both the staff and the manager is trying to clean up the oreos on the floo and the table, we all keep giggling after seeing that, ahahhaha... After some time, the manager finally realized that a lot of ice cream has been wasted...

It looks like this when the manager finally turn off the switch.

It was so funny that we tried our best not to laugh but still wanna laugh, lol... Anyway, I bet the staff is very nervous and all he ended up giving us our Oreo before even stirring it. =/ Bad day for the staff but it made our day as we really cannot resist laughing and talking about it after that. XD

After the funny ice cream session, everyone went back and sleep. ^_^ It's quite tiring even though we didn't do much, well watching TV for long hours actually strains my eyes a lot... I woke up around the same time on the second day as well, this time we all are going out to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

We reached the restaurant around noon which is quite early but the restaurant is already packed with people, luckily my aunt went there first and got us a place... The restaurant is quite small, by the road side and without aircond, lucky it isn't too hot that day. We all sat at a very long tables as the restaurant doesn't have round tables, to save spaces I think. =p

The menu.

My aunt ordered a few simple Chinese dishes and drinks, since there are so many people eating and waiting, I bet it's gonna be good. XD

Half chicken here.

The first dish we have is steam chicken, which is one of their famous dishes I think... It's nice, the meat is soft and sweet and juicy as well, eat together with their chili sauce, really nice... Oh, their chili sauce is really hot that I was surprised, normally chili sauce from chicken rice is not spicy at all and I always put a lot.

Tofu, looks delicious?

Then they served the to fu, as you can see it's covered with lots of sauce which has lots of eggs in it, really nice smell... The to fu they used is Japanese to fu so it's smooth, this dish is just normal for me but I like the sauce... XD

Pork ribs, my favorite...

Then here comes another specialty, pork ribs with a very special sauce. It's served in long pieces with mini fried buns, nice decoration hehe... I love this dish although I seldom like to eat pork ribs, the sauce that covered the ribs is really really nice, it has a very strong taste but not too salty, just nice and it's best when ate with rice... The small buns are fluffy inside and very crispy outside with a slight fragrance. =p I enjoyed this dish the most for this meal.

Kangkung, very spicy!

We had vegetables as well, kangkung with belacan. It's very spicy as commented by everyone, it sure has lots of chili padi inside lol... The taste is good to me, not too satly and the vege is fresh as it had sweetness in it and it's crunchy.

Pyramid rice.

The rice is is kinda special, normally rice are served either in a bowl shape or just a plate of scattered rice but this shop has pyramid-shaped rice! Hehe... special right? I wonder what kind of mold they use to do that... =p

Nice soup.

Lastly, my aunt ordered a soup as well, something like sharks fin but not excatly sharks fin, some seafood soup as well. It's nice although I don't know what is inside, I know there's egg and scallop, can see haha... This soup taste way nicer than the sharks fin soup we had for reunion dinner.

Everyone enjoyed the lunch, satisfied as well with only half the price of the reunion dinner, this really proved how bad is the previous restaurant. Too bad that this restaurant closes during CNY eve, if not we would probably come here for a good reunion dinner. =)

After lunch, we went to Cold Storage to get some ice cream and chocolates as snacks then went back home to finish up the TV series... We managed to finish it by night, after dinner, haha... 20 episodes all together, quite nice. XD After that, hand around for a while, drank some tea and finally go to sleep... Waking up early again to go back KL, can't wait... Staying in Singapore is really killing me, lol.

Continue with Back to KL trip tomorrow, wanna sleep now. =p

My Reunion Dinner

Boo~

I woke up around 4 am that day, left my house with my family for Singapore at 5 then reached the border check point around 9.30 am... After having breakfast and all, finally reached my relative's house around 11am, so sleepy...

Played cards until lunch, not gambling though... XD After lunch, it was pretty boring because there's nothing to do so my cousins and I watched TV until evening... We went to the restaurant around 5.30pm for reunion dinner, so early! The dinner is booked from 5pm to 7pm actually... =_="

Our table, so red.

Anyway, there are actually quite a lot people there already, so we sat down, chit chat a while and wait for the waitress to serve us. The restaurant is not those high class places, just a community hall with tables and chairs and some chinese new year decorations around...

Yee Sang, so messy lol...

The first dish is of course the Yee Sang, a traditional dish that everyone will have before actually having the reunion dinner. It's a simply ceremony to wish for good luck and stuff... The Yee Sang is pretty big and we all had fun stirring it lol. XD It is not very nice though, too much vegetables, too little sauce and peanuts, we didn't finish everything...

The dishes.

More dishes.

Then the normal sharks fun soup came, the waitress put them into small bowls for us. No sharks fins seen in the soup, very watery when I drink it... No taste at all, not salty, no nice smell, nothing... *shakes head* Didn't really want to finish it but forced to... =(

Next is the fish, quite good looking but it doesn't taste good as well... I bet the fish has been frozen for quite a long time because the sweetness isn't there anymore, lucky the sauce is not too bad, still consider ok if eaten with sauce. I had better fishes with a much cheaper price in KL...

Prawns are up next, fried prawns with cereal, quite special, my first time seeing it... I don't really like prawns and I don't like cereal at all so I skipped this dish, others said it was ok so I guess this isn't too bad, everyone managed to finish up all the prawns as well.

After that, the pork leg is here, this dish is the best of all I think, I ate quite a bit since I haven't been eating much for the first few dishes... The veges beside the pork meat is good as well, we all finished this quite fast...

At the same time, they brought us sea cucumber with abalone and mushroom and vegetables which I think it's just so-so, nothing special about this dish and the taste is quite plain as well... The vegetables are quite crunchy though.

The last dish before dessert was steam rice in lotus leaf, the look is really nice and there's a slight fragrance when we open up the leaf... Too bad that the rice is almost tasteless, I think the chef forgotten to add salt or soy sauce... =___=

Dessert which suppose to be the easiest to prepare also disappointed me, the honey dew sago doesn't have any sense of sweetness at all, is sugar very expensive now? *sigh* All I can taste is the santan and it isn't cold at all... Didn't finish the dessert as it's really bad, no mood already...

Bad reunion dinner, don't really understand why they wanna spend so much for these sucky dishes, last year was the same as well, I don't really wanna eat here again next year. T_T My other relatives at another tables seems to enjoy the meal as I can see that they finished every single dish which we didn't, if these dishes are considered as tasty to them, I am really speechless...

After the dinner we went back home and continue with our TV series until night, such a boring CNY eve... I slept quite early that night because I was too bored and feeling tired, after all I woke up so early on the day...

Next entry will be about my CNY days in Singapore, I suppose it will be more interesting although there isn't any special stuff, just look forward to it. =p
