Sushi Trip

Woohoo...Finally, it's here. I've been waiting for today for a very long time...until my neck also "long" de. LoL! My colleagues and I had plan this trip a month ago. We meet up at the office around 10am and then started our journey around 10.30am. Unfortunately, it was raining cats and dogs for the whole day. We drove three cars there. There were 15 of us altogether. It rain even heavier when we reached the ASEAN Bridge. Can't even managed to see the road clearly. Honestly, I was a bit worried because the bridge was so "curve" and it rained so heavily. You don't know what might happen. *Touch wood* To my surprise, once we crossed the bridge, the rain becomes very small. It's like we have gone to another world. Hahaha... Well, it's true that we're in another place,i.e, KB---Kuala Belait, Brunei. *Wink*

After crossing the custom,we reached the sushi restaurant at 12pm sharp (exactly the time we book). Well done, Mr. Driver. Hehe. Without wasting much more time, we quickly make our order because we Starving~~~~ Hahaha.... We order a lot of dishes. It was a great one.


Sashimi





We finished our lunch at around 1.30pm. It was fantastic. After that, we went to Supa Save, not Super Save (Miri is Super Save). I wonder why they named it 'Supa'. Hahah... My boss recommended the Kebab that was selling in front of the entrance. Wow, it really is delicious. I have to admit that it is better than Miri. I bought 5. I also bought quite a lot of things from the Su..Pa..Save. haha.. Some of the things are cheaper than the one selling in Miri;like the Lay's brand keropok. It costs RM10.90 here. While in KB, it cost $4.00 (If you convert to RM, also cheaper ma). *Wink* At around 2.30pm, we started our journey back home. Overall, it was fun. I had a great time there. Wish to go there again. ;)

Buzzz...

Prank~~~ Oops, I spilled my water accidentally early morning. As a result, I was scolded by my aunt. T.T Haiz.. Beware today, I said to myself. A superstitious person I am. haha..

Wow, lots of things to do in office today. As busy as a bee. I received a lot of enquires. Apparently, my senior executive was on leave today. So, some of the question I have to figure it out myself which was good to me (can train my problem-solving skill). XD I love to keep myself busy. Don't like to waste time.



Well, one of my colleague treated my lunch today ( as sign of welcoming for me ). I've just started joining this new company middle of last month. I enjoy it so far. We had our lunch at Banana Leaf. The food was quite good. 1st time for me. I ordered nasi lemak kambing. The sambal was spicy. It was similar to the hindus banana leaf rice where the banana leaf was use to put rice and vege instead of plate. I like this kind of idea coz it's environment-friendly. After all, it was a not-so-bad-day for me. *Wink*

Glory is no more for Malaysia

Datuk Lee Chong Wei has tried his very best as well as Huang Choong Han and the double team. Datuk did very well in the 1st game. At first he was 6 or 7 points behind Lin Dan. Surprisingly, he managed to chase up. However, Lin Dan still win. Well, at least Chong Wei has shown his professionalism. I can see that he is under a lot of pressure. One of the most annoying things is the SPECTATORS. They kept shouting and playing with the drum. Can't they just sit queitly and watch! Haiz~~

This is the 1st time Datuk loses to Lin Dan in his own country. As the chinese saying goes: 君子报仇十年未了。 Lin Dan took off his shirt straightaway after he smack the winning point. Gambateh ba, Chong Wei. You're still Malaysians' apple of the eye. Choong Han too must be under a lot of pressure as the 1st two teams has been deceived. Malaysian hopes that there was miracle. Nevermind there's still chance. Never scare to failure as failure is the mother of success! Gambateh!

New Laptop

After waiting for about 3 weeks, I got my laptop finally. I bought HP brand which was recommended by my mum's friend's son, Tony Gor Gor who is a computer technician. I like my new laptop very much. It is a lot better than my previous one in spite of size, weight and speed. I went to take my laptop this morning at a shop called Computlink. The workers were nice specially the malay guy. He is cheerful and helpful. Haha.. To add credit to it ( buying the laptop ), I got a lot of free gifts, i.e, laptop case, mouse, cooler, headset, keyboard skin and notebook cable lock. The disadvantage of buying Dell (my previous notebook) is no Free Gift. *XOXO* And you need to order online. That's all for now. Ciao~~

Goodbye KL

I'm flying back to Miri tomorrow night. There's still like around 22 hours left. I'm exhausted. I hate packing especially when there are lots of things need to pack. Argh~~~ I hate aunty giving me those grumpy look. Ohw! I know I got a lot of things. I dislike people constantly nagging and reminding me about something. I will do it! I'm just thinking of a better way to pack them into the luggage. I wonder is this a 'signature' character of the Sim's Family. My second aunt also the same. Fed up with it. Whatever they said I just need to NOD my head and be PATIENT. I wonder this is how I train myself to be patient. Haha..





I love travelling but I hate packing. Give and take. That's the rule.

My 1st baked cake

It's a rainy day today. I love raining especially in the evening. This morning my ex-college friend come find me cos he wants me sign some document. We chat for around an hour plus.

Later in the noon, I decided to try to bake a cake instead of steaming. I never bake cake b4. Afer searching for the suitable recipe, I decided to make fruit cheese pound cake. It is better to start with an easier recipe for a first timer. Actually, the recipe was a Prune Cheese Pound Cake. But, there was not enough prunes so I decided to add in some cranberries and raisins. After mixing all the ingredients, finally it's time to bake. Tik..tok..tik...tok...there goes the sound of the oven. Dingggg~~~~ Finally, my cake is ready. To my surprise, it was a SUCCESS! To be honest, I think it is better than my steamed cake. I mean the appearance. The texture is same for both style. XD The surface of my steamed cake is always not that smooth and I can't figure the reason. Anyway, I'm so satisfied with my cake. :)

S.U.N.D.A.Y

It's Sunday again. Aunty accompanied Uncle to Kuala Terengganu for a business trip today. They left in dawn. Left my 2 cousins and me. So, I'm going to cook lunch. A simple lunch. Sunday lunch is always simple and easy coz Sunday is relaxing day. XD
Well, aunty has cooked the pork last night. So, I just need to cook another simple dish then it's done. Since there were only 3 of us, I decided to.....fry EGG!! Hahaha... As simple as ABC. :P So, that's our lunch.



Tik tok tik tok... Rrringgg... Dinner Time! My youngest cousin volunteered to cook baked potato with cheese. So, I just leave it to her to prepare everything since she doesn't like too many ppl in the kitchen. Again a simply dinner.Hehe.. Sometimes, simple is good.


Gotta boil the milk with potato 1st before putting into the oven.


It's ready to bake for 30 mins.



While she was busy cooking the dish, I heat up the left over pork and some roti jala. I also boil corn soup. I love corn soup especially creamy corn soup. XD
The baked potato tasted quite nice. My second cousin said that it's not so nice. Ya, I seconded her. The 1st time was nicer which was compliment of my eldest cousin. Nevermind. It's never to be afraid of failure. At least it's eatable. Hahaha... That's all for now.

Ciao~

If we ever meet again

After 6 months of tenure at AIA, I'm saying goodbye to it. I'm leaving all my lovely colleague with a heavy heart especially my 4 wonderful colleagues, Charlene,Kak Joelia, Nazliah and Hazizee. Gonna misses all those laughter, gossiping and 'makan-makan' I had with them. This is my 1st job and it inspires me a lot.

Charlene is a lady sitting besides me. Lengzai is always her 1st priority. Haha. You can see her wondering for 'lengzai' while going out with her. She is also passionate for food. Always treat us eat all those delicious food. Gonna miss it. *Wink* In short, it a great colleague. She always bring laughter to all her friends.



Another person I would like to express my graditute is my supervisor, Kak Joelia who is also my mentor. She is a responsible and cheerful supervisor. She always giving me advise and forgave all the mistakes I've made.



Finally, the last 2 persons who always makes me laugh are Nazliah and Hazizee. Although we just known each other for a short period, we get along very well. We share a lot of things. I was so touch with the present they gave me. It's the best present I have ever receive. A meaningful present. It's a photo frame of them. I think this is the best present to give someone. I'm gonna miss them very much. There are the best Malay friends I ever had. They inspires me a lot. Sometimes, Malay are more united than Chinese. They are always lending a helping to each other unlike Chinese who are too much of a "Kiasu" which means scared to lose. That's why sometimes I feel more comfortable to be with people of different races. Thank you so much my lovely friends.

A glance into the pictures

It's pouring hot today because as far as memory is concerned, it has been raining in the evening for the past 5-day. Oh well, one shouldn't complaint when we are blessed with such bright and warmth weather. ;D

Recently, facebook has come upon my family members especially my 3rd uncle. Almost each of my family members have their own facebook. I was kinda surprise with it. Well, this means that they are getting more and more up-to-date. Haha.. But most of all, they are getting young at heart which is good. :D



My 3rd uncle who was in his 50s was so into it. Almost everyday he is facebook-ing. XOXO... Since all of his children has grown-up, he should give himself sometime to relax. He edits all his photos before he upload it and it amaze me. I never know that he is so good in editing pictures. Hehe... I just learned from my youngest aunt that my uncle actually likes photographing. No wonder this CNY I saw him with his new camera.



Facebook ROCKS!!

Movie List

The last movie that I watched was The Tooth Fairy. So, you can guess how long I haven't been to cinema since that movie.

Here are the list of movies I wish/want to watch.

1.

I love the theme song--- When I Look At You

Congratz to my cousin

SPM result was released few days ago. Wow, so many students got straight As' including my beloved cousin, Ka Ming. Congratulation to her. It seems so easy to pass with flying colours nowadays. I wonder... By the way, the grading system has changed now. It's A+, A, A-, B+ and so on. However, I prefer the old grading system, i.e, A1, A2, B3 and so on. Dunno why. Haha...

It's end here

CNY is over. After a week break, I'm back to the workforce again...So tiring and unenergetic. It's like I'm dragging myself to work. Really damn no mood to read those emails. Anyway, I've made up my mind. That is......I'm...Going...To.....RESIGN. It's so boring doing the same thing everyday---Update policyholders' info....re-print medical cards....issue bills....(what the heck)!

I have been enduring with this hectic city for 3 and a half years. And it's time for me to go back home. To do the things I've long to do, like to do and most of all ...WISH TO DO! Making dessert, trying new recipe. It's hard for me to do it here because my cooking utensils is incomplete. At least for the time being, I don't wish to stay here. Maybe someday I'll come back again. But, that time, I should have a car and would be easier for me to move around. Most people said that KL is a place of opportunity but I think that Opportunity is Everywhere!

09.09.09

What an auspicious day! I received a msg from my cousin, Iris telling me that my neighbour's daughter who was my senior (in high school) was getting marry. She and her hubby have registered on this unique day. So surprise. There's no 'sign' of her getting marry. Anyway, I'm not at my hometown now. So...it's not strange that I don't realise about it. Haha... She (23 years old) and her hubby had been together for 9 years since high school. She uploaded some of her pictures at the registeration hall in facebook. Then, to my 'bigger' surprise, I found out that my another ex-schoolmate has registered with her hubby on the same day too! :0 They were also been together for a very long time already. Wow, so many people chose to register on that day. The whole registration hall was full of happy, anxious and excited faces.

In chinese tradition, 09.09.09 means everlasting. Couples believe that if they chose this day to marry, their marriage would last forever. It is also a blessing. That's why so many people have chosen this day to tied the knot. ^^ So happy for them yet envy at the same time. Hehe... I wonder when is my turn.....

1st destination: Penang

Last Tuesday, my aunt and her husband decided to go back Kangar because it was my aunt's mother-in-law death anniversary. My aunt invited my parents and me to go with them since we never been to Kangar before. Kangar was located in Perlis. We departed early in the morning, around 6.15am so that we have time to visit Penang for a while. Although it was a long journey, I enjoy it very much. I get to see the beautiful sunrise.

It took us about 5 hours to reach Penang. I found that Penang is an attractive and unique place. I saw a lot of temples while travelling in Penang. That's why I said it is unique. Hehe... I never been to a place where there are so many big and small temples. We visited Kek Lok Si, Penang famous temple and also the largest Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia. The temples itself consists of several large halls for assembly and prayers. We need to climb a lot of stairs to get to each hall. I get a lot of exercise by visiting this temple. haha..

Besides that, there is a pond filled with Koi in the temple.


There is also a turtle pond further inside the temple. At around 12 o'clock, Uncle Kooi Kim, my aunt's husband's fourth brother, took us to try penang laksa and other penang famous food.

Penang's Loh Bak ( in Hokkien), meat inside. I like this dish. :) Dip with chilli sauce will be more nicer.Penang cendol, not too sweet...just nice. I like this cendol because the 'green green thing' inside this cendol is smother than the one in my hometown. Hehe... After having lunch, we pass by Gurney beach and head for the Nyonya Heritage where the Singapore drama, Little Noyonya shot its film.Unfortunately, I only get to shot some pictures outside because the entrance fee was expensive. It was awesome.Hehe...trying to peep inside. It is really spic and span inside. I managed to see some of the antiques. I felt so glad and happy that I got to visit this historical place. Its a good thing that the authorities have kept the whole building so well so that our generation can get to see this beautiful monument.

Farewell-cum-birthday dinner

Last sunday, my cousin's friend, Uew Wen, held her birthday-cum-farewell party. She is 21 year old now and will be leaving for England early next month. All the dishes are very delicious and tasty. I like the braised yam with vege and the lemon chicken. We gave her a bag for her to use in England and buy 20 lovely cupcakes for her. Oh, ya. Should buy one more. Haha.. Didn't think of that. Wow, these cupcakes aren't cheap.

My cousins and me

There's one thing funny about this dinner is the decoration. Look at the red chinese word on the red wallpaper. It is use for wedding. Haha... Guess nowadays it can use for any celebration as long as the celebration is a happy one. Hahaha...

Hand-made bookmarks....

Recently, I have been influenced by my cousin, Kalye, in making bookmarks. All the bookmarks are for her club. They want to raise funds for her school by selling those bookmarks. Since I'm still searching for a job, I might as well use these free time to help her. After all, I like making handicraft. In fact, I found that I have forte in making bookmarks. Haha..... Most of her friends love the bookmarks that I made. They even asked me to make another one ( coz I only make one for each type of bookmark )! I'm so bliss to hear that. Hahaha....

I like this apple bookmark very much. It looks so .....Perfect!

This Elmo bookmark was bought by Kalye's teacher. Wow~ can attract teacher to buy one~ Haha~

What do you think this bookmark looks like? I thought it's a cow but, my another cousin keep saying it's a white tiger. Hmmm....Anyway, Kalye's friend asked me to make some more of this bookmark. :)

I just finish making this Keropi yesterday and I was sold out today. In fact, Kalye's friend request for another one. Yipee~~ Looks like I can sell hand-made bookmarks as my part-time in near future....

Transformers 2's Day

What a wonderful weekend. First, I went to the temple with my cousins and aunt. After that, we had our breakfast in a cafe at Bangsar. There was a stall inside the cafe which is famous for its Sarawak Laksa. So, I ordered it. Wow, it was really delicious. Exactly the same as the one in my hometown. Well, I've tried Sarawak Laksa at Kepong before. It is awful. The soup was not spicy enough and it doesn't look attractive. I guess the shop owner was just selling for its NAME but not the dish! For those who have tried the really Sarawak Laksa at any states in Sarawak before, you should know what is the actual taste of the laksa. This is the Sarawak Laksa that I ate yesterday. Really tasty......

After filling up our stomach, our next destination is The Curve~~ Went there for movie~~ Transformers : Revenge of The Fallen. Wow, Cineleisure was so crowded. Everyone was so desperate for Transformers. Most of the tickets are selling fast. Although we managed to buy the 12.15pm show, we have to sit in the 1st row! Ah..it doesn't matter to me. As long as I get to watch the movie I've been waiting for. Haha....

Transformers : Revenge of The Fallen was awesome and terrific. There were new members of Deceptions and Autobots. I fell in love with The Twins. They were so cute and humorous in spite of always quarelling. Haha... However, Bumblebee is my life-time favourite autobot. He is so friendly and sweet. It made me burst into laughter seeing Bumblebee crying when Samuel told him that he couldn't follow Samuel to college. I never thought that autobots can cry!! Haha~~

My favourite scene is when Bumblebee and The Twins accompany Samuel on his mission to find the matrix in order to bring back Opitmus's life. It was so cool seeing Bumblebee leading them. Like a big brother guiding his little brother. Haha....

Luckily, Bumblebee wasn't hurt this time. Unlike in the 1st espisode, Bumblebee's leg was broken. I nearly cried that time. So pity for him~~ I was shocked when Optimus died in this episode. The scene was so touching. Optimus sacrifced himself to save Samuel when Samuel was being chased by the Deceptions. Luckily, he regain his life again.

After watching the movie, we shop for a while before going back home coz my aunt said that there was sales in front of cold storage. The shirts are very cheap. But, you have to 'dig' in order to get the shirts you like. Well, I managed to buy 2 shirts which I like it very much and it only cost me RM22 altogether. Haha..

Happy Father's Day

Ever since I can remember

You have been the one

You are the one

You are a father

And most of all

You are a Daddy

who I appreaciate and loved so much

Last but not least

Thank you for all the things that you have done for me.

Happy Father's Day!!

Tangkak Trip

Yeah~ Another trip again. Last Saturday, my fren, ZX, invited me, YH, Alex and her gf to her hometown --- Tangkak. I'm so excited about it coz my uncle told me that Tangkak is famous for durians~ My favourite fruit. Hehe~ We departed at around 11am.

This is what I saw along the journey--- Oil Palm Tree. Haha~ On the way, ZX kept telling us that Tangkak is a very very small town. I wonder how small could it be. After 1 and a half hour car drive, we reached Tangkak finally. Well, to my surprise, what she said is true. Her hometown is really small. It's like you are driving in a circle. Haha~ It's a T-junction. So, you either go straight, turn left or right and you end up at the starting point. Wow~ I never been to such a small town. We were all hungry by the time we arrived. Therefore, ZX took us to eat beef noodles which is the most famous food there. So, we have to turn right at the junction. Haha~

It is really tasty. I like the soup because it was boil using herbs. Nutritious~ Hehe~ However, it is not cheap. It cost me RM5.00. Well, beef is not cheap too. So, it is expected. But, the drinks are cheap. It's only RM0.60 for bailey. You can't find such cheap drinks in KL. After that, we paid a visit to Gunung Ledang.


Walking up the stairs to find a suitable spot for us to 'play' . Haha~


They enjoy themselves so much. Haha~ We were like back to childhood. Spashing water at one another and even catching fish. We spent the whole afternoon at there. Then, we went to her parent's shop to take our bath. We spotted this sign board on the way to her parent's shop. Read carefully on the english clause. It's kinda hard to understand. Why don't they use the word 'cheap' instead. Won't it be better? IF YOU THINK SAFETY IS CHEAP, TRY ACCIDENT. Then, people will think of the importance of safety, will they?

At night, ZX's parents treat us for dinner at the ONLY restaurant in her hometown. The dishes served was quite nice. We have no other option since that is the ONLY restaurant in town. After dinner, ZX's parent decided that we went to her uncle's cyber cafe for a while before heading to her grandfather's house where we will spent the night. This is my first time stepping into a cyber cafe and it's free of charge. Haha~~ We online for a while at there. At around 10 o'clock, we decided to called it a day. ZX's grandfather's house was very clean and neat. There are 7 rooms in his house. So, it's more than enough for us. Hehe~~

The anxiety and happiness inside us make us doesn't feel sleepy. After cleaning ourselves, we decided to play monopoly ( long time din play dy ). I was the last player at the beginning and also the player with the least house. While YH is the player with the most houses and money. Unfortunately, at the end, YH is the player who lost everything to Alex and Alex becomes the winner. Haha~ As for me, I'm kinda statisfied with what I have because they kept stepping on my utilities lots which earned me lots of money. LOL~~ We slept at around 2 am.
