Treat for the MY folks

200410
KL - Siu Siu Sungai Besi
I am glad that I have the opportunity to give promotion treat to my colleagues this year. And I hope I don't have to wait too long for the next one...=P

Since Ee Wa and I were both in KL, we combined forces to give our MY colleagues a treat at this restaurant which was recommended by Kelvin.
Our first dish is

The Char Siew is super yummy. I have always been a Char Siew fan and I think I ate about 10 pieces.


Besides the Char Siew, I think black pepper crab is also worth trying. I was quite disppointed with the Claypot rice...I prefer the one which I had tried in Petailing. Sadly, I have no chance to visit the famous Petailing claypot rice store during this trip. I gotta learn from Kelvin how to walk from the office to Petailing so that I can still enjoy my claypot rice if nobody wanna go with me. Damn greedy hor...=P

The playful & greedy guys


& the sweet, demure gals...=P

The damage for that day was

Was actually quite cheap given that we ordered so much food

Tired

2 days of Diving Theory after work made me soooo tired.
I heaved a sign of relief that I didn't sign up for any MBA class,
though I have been contemplating to do it for the longest time.
With my current working hours,
taking part-time courses will simply drive me crazy.

Straight forward Vs Impulsive

I was quite appalled by what a friend has done.
Though she may deem it as being straight forward,
I feel that she is being too impulsive for her own good.
And actually,
I don't sympathise with her for getting a backlash reaction.
She is just pushing a luck too far...
Way to far...
to the extent that I don't understand why she is doing all these.
Getting sympathy?
Or to prove that someone has done her wrong?
Come on, nobody own you a living...

Asian Skin Solutions...don't take me for a fool!

3 different beauty consultants provide 3 different advices
So who should I believe?
Well, isn't it obvious that you just wanna make me spend more $?
I have just completed my 3rd facial session (out of 20) and yet you want me to buy more services? Isn't that ridiculous?
I am seriously kinda disappointed with Asian Skin Solutions (Orchard Building branch)
Promise so much yet deliver nothing...or to be fair, not yet...
I have already said that I will NOT invest further till I see the results which you have promised.
So stop bugging me to try this and that.
Show me the results first!

My Saturday

170410
Went to Travel Fiesta at Suntec with FK. As both of us managed to apply for 2 weeks leave in August, we wanna travel beyond Asia!
Though the travel deals were kinda attractive, we didn't book any package. Somehow, I was afraid that we will be bored if we follow a standard tour. Ever since my SQ days, I have always been planning my own trip as I prefer the freedom and flexibility. Well, looks like to have to start my travel research again...FK is so lazy, I don't think we can go anywhere if I depend on him. =P

Have our tea cum early dinner at Just Acia. Just Acia has a special menu from 12 noon to 5pm which I only gotta know yesterday. They serve my favourite fish and chips and it is only $5.90, inclusive of drinks and ice-cream. Super value for money!

Me & my fish & chips

Am I a Spendthrift?

I can't believe the I actually spent close to $300 on all these items in less than an hour.

I was telling FK yesterday that I wanna save money for my US trip in summer and now I am spending again! OMG!

偷心大聖PS男

My next Taiwan drama
I am into Episode 5, watching every night at 10pm.
The casts are so handsome and pretty. Woo hoo...

知名的兩性作家、電視名嘴、偷心界聖字輩的P.S.男、夏和杰(藍正龍飾)為了追求第一名模阿曼達(白歆惠飾),大鬧電影首映會會場,被法院判處 158 小時的社會勞動役。


夏和杰被分派到天使幼稚園。幼稚園的老師碰巧是夏和杰小時候的同學、馬小茜(隋棠飾)。夏和杰沒認出馬小茜就是小時候老被他欺負的鋼牙妹!馬小茜愛面子也沒說穿這段往事。如今仇人相見,小茜逮到機會就惡整夏和杰,但卻意外地在報復的過程中愛上了花心的和杰!


在某天開娃娃車送小朋友回家的途中,夏和杰意外跟豪門第二代孟成恩(溫昇豪飾)發生衝突,自大的夏和杰槓上了狂傲的孟成恩!孟成恩為了證明自己高人一等,對夏和杰全面宣戰!只要是夏和杰想要的東西,他通通都要搶走,包括第一名模阿曼達!


在這場名模的爭奪戰中,孟成恩認識了小茜。他被小茜的純真所吸引,轉而追求小茜。夏和杰雖然贏得阿曼達的芳心,但是此刻他卻發現自己真正喜歡的人是馬小茜。不過此時的夏和杰已經難以回頭、牽絆他的除了阿曼達的真情、還有阿曼達的私生子小陀螺(小小彬飾)對他的信任及感情!小茜雖然喜歡和杰,但她不願意介入夏和杰與阿曼達的戀情,她選擇接受了孟成恩的感情,答應了孟成恩的求婚…


「P.S男」跟「鋼牙妹」的戀情會在遺憾中劃下句點?

還是王子、公主最後過著幸福快樂的生活?

Sneak Preview: Monga

100410

Went for sneak preview of Monga with FK.

Starring Ethan Ruan & Mark Chao, Monga is a Taiwanese gangster film set in 1980s Taipei. An entertaining storyline that weaves together action and drama, Monga is more than just a pure gangster flick. The characters' conflicting emotions is something which I personally enjoy watching. I rate the show 4/5.

The after effect of Skin Renewal facial

4 pimples popping out just 1 day after I did the Skin Renewal facial at Asian Skin Solutions. What is wrong???

Oh anyway, I was quite upset with the consultant for being super pushy in upselling me a $280 facial when I visited them yesterday. I have only done 2 out of the 20 facial sessions which she sold me last month and now she claimed that the type of facial which she promoted to me wasn't that suitable. Isn't that ridiculous?

Indo Food Feast

FK was craving for Indonesian food after our gym session today so we braved our way through the crowd in Lucky Plaza to get to the famous Indonesian restaurant which was highly recommended by his friend, Thomas.

FK looked so happy! Started eating even before I can take picture of the Gado Gado...greedy man!

Yummy Gado Gado

My choice: Ayam Goreng, very cheap, only $6.50.

Do you think that this picture was badly taken? It was taken by FK and though he was supposed to take picture of his food Only, the Gado Gado is also in the picture...

Me with the spread. I love my lunch! BTW, why my face looked so round in this pic? Damn!

Pressies from Doha

FK is back from Doha and he bought pressies for me despite complaining that the things in Doha are ex!

I love these Pashmina shawls which FK bought for me. However, I feel really heart pain for him for spending close to $100 for these shawls...Thanks dear, I will cherish them. =)

暗恋 - 黄晓明

First saw this MTV in Batam.

Such a faithful man sacrificing for the lady he loves. Not very possible in the real world but I still hope that someday there will be someone..............

First visit to Batam

260310 - 270310
Batam getaway
Went for a short trip with Wawa, Sandy & Vin over the weekend. As this was our first trip to Batam, we did some research of the place before he headed there.
We stayed at Harris Resort which was ranked 3rd by the Trip Advisor website. Harris Resort is located very near to the ferry terminal and seems to be very popular with S'poreans. The service rendered by the staff was kinda impressive and I can feel that they put in the effort to make their customers feel welcomed.

On our way to Batam. Excited!

The lovey dovey couple

View from the resort

As the restaurants and massage charges in resort was pretty steep, we decided to take a cab to Nagoya Hill to have our lunch and massage.

Knowing that we would like to have Nasi Padang, the cab driver drove us to a restaurant (though we didn't request) which he claimed that the Nasi Padang was famous and delicious. Truly speaking, I didn't enjoy this meal because I felt that restaurant owner and the cab driver were in cahoots to cheat us. If not for the fact that Wawa can speak Malay and asked them for the price of the dishes before we ate, we could have paid a bomb for the meal!

We were so happy to see A&W when we reached Nagoya Hill. It has been ages since I had their waffle and curry fries. Such a nostalgic feeling as I used to have it every week after church when I was young... I wonder why A&W pulled out of the SG market.


Wawa was trying to be funny


Walking around Nagoya Hil before our massage

Ayam Taluk Goreng


Greedy Wawa and I decided to try it despite the fact we just had our Nasi Padang and A&W

We went to Isabella for 3 hours full body scrub and massage. As we took the couple package, there was free transport around the city and back to our resort. Super good deal! We asked the driver to bring us to the polo shop and to Golden Prawn for our seafood dinner.

Fabulous!


The loving couple was so excited to try the food

My shopping for the day...can't believe I actually bought instant noodles back to SG, so auntified!

We woke up at 7.30am the next day for our breakfast. As the buffet breakfast was a disppointment (or it is because I was being too fussy after staying in Hilton -KL for 3 days before my Batam trip?), I went for a swim after having half a waffle and omelette.

After swim and breakfast, we actually went up to our room to nuah before we went for our foot reflexology session in which Wawa was crying in pain. Hahaha

Our last picture before we checked out

We went for an early dinner at Bei Tong Chuan in Vivocity. Though the steamboat buffet is $19.90++, there are lots of hidden cost. They charge $1 for plain water and $0.30 for a packet of tissue...can't believe it! The seafood was not very fresh. I think only the chicken wings, mango pudding and crackers are worth eating.

Kelantan Delight @ Sooka Sentral

250310
Dinner @ Kelantan Delight (Sooka Sentral) - KL
After a long day of training, Ola and I wanted to have some nice local food to fill our stomach. While walking around Sooka Sentral, we chanced upon this restaurant which had a banner "best halah restaurant" being placed at the entrance and we decided to give it a try.
The appetitiser which is supposed to be eaten like this

Both Ola and I enjoyed the appetiser. In fact, I was kinda surprised that the appetiser tasted so tasted sooo good as I was expecting the leaves to taste slight bitter (but NO!).


The "blue" rice. It tasted like the rice on the nonya kueh (or is it the same?) Slightly hard but still kinda tasty


Tom Yam coconut - A very unique dish which I highly recommended!
