Blog EntryWeekend with DotteNov 18, '07 12:29 PM
for everyone

P/S : It has been almost a month I since update my blog due to my extremely busy at work til I have limited time for myself. Anyway, here's the 'backdated' latest blog for the time being. More to come.

****************************************

Dotte and her gangs arrived KL and their objectives of their vacation were about 3 things.

Shopping

Eating

Clubbing

This is what we did during their vacation (and part of my weekend vacation as well)

Night 1 (2 Nov)
Just prior to off work, my collegue Sally invited me to Borneo Barok Club for another round of clubbing, and this time it's a special occassion for her; Birthday by the next day.

After work, I left to the hotel, carrying a big darn boxing-bag containing my weekend, Mon and Tues's clothings. Obtain the cardkey that Dotte left for me by the counter and went up to the room, put my things there, then went to BB Plaza to start looking for Dotte. At time when I tried to locate her, she sms me of her whereabout and she only mentioned 'BB Plaza LG floor', and that's when I saw her in one of the shop.

Meet her up, and were introduced to the first lady of her gang, who was just shopped for a Bonia watch. (Pricey).

Then went back to Parkson when I then were introduced to the second lady of her gang, and she also brought her niece along that time. We then split up and will meet up again in an hour (of which it didn't happen anyway, as they went back to the room in the end).

Me and Dotte went around Sg Wang and BB Plaza, had our fruit juice and do window shopping before we finally decided to have dinner at Sushi King Low Yatt. I always enjoy fellowship with her, get to be 38 gung. That night we had the sushi dishes instead of the set, as I don't intend to eat so much, especially at night (yeah...am now concern on my intake during night time).
 
After dinner, we went back to the room, took shower and rest a while when the third lady of the gang came in to the room, and we were then introduced ourselves. Chatted a while before we finally get changed and was already ready when the other 2 ladies (just next door of our room, and it's adjoining) were taking their very sweet time getting change and make up, and so we have to wait. Suppose to go over to BBC by 11pm, ended up reaching there by 12am.

We took 2 cabs as the ladies didn't want to walk over (well, of course lar, already put make up, nice dress and add on perfume, most definitely not going to club with sweats).

The 3 ladies took the earlier cab (and I directed the taxi driver to the location), and another cab for myself and Dotte. Reaching there, the ladies told me that they were charged slightly higher than me and Dotte's cab. Maybe becoz of the direction that the cab brought them guah..

Anyway, reaching the BBC, I first look for my collegues, and they were there in a big group. So I slowly make my entrance, and dance all the way to their table. Firstly, was greeting my collegues, and then went to meet up the birthday girl..dancing behind her back (and I guess she was shocked to see me giving her surprise).

Anyway, I then introduced the gangs to my collegues, and there, they had the liquors, and get groovy listening to the live band music and DJ music as well.

I've been busy dancing with my collegues, while the ladies were just standing there doing nothing but just had their drinks and observe...but as hours passed, they start to enjoy themselves and start dancing a lil bit. It was then when I pull Dotte to the dance floor and her gang down to the dance floor and start dancing.

By the time we left the place, we decided to just walk back to the hotel, and along the way we saw few things; A-tall-look-beautiful-from-the-back-but-DAMMMM-when-looking-'her'-from-the-front standing by the pole, waiting for 'her' customer.

By the time we reach at the room, it was already super late that we then doze off.

Day 1 (Nov 3)

The morning actually can be very nice and quiet to continue our sleep when the car/truck outside the hotel were honking so damm loud that it eventually became my alarm clock. (DAMM IT). Somemore, the ladies were preparing themselves as well, left me the 'last person' to prepare. When everyone was ready, we then realise that the other 2 ladies were still preparing...so all we been doing was just chatting...chatting...chatting.

The first agenda of the day was to have breakfast, so me and dotte suggested to have breakfast at the dim sum area at Jalan Alor. It was really pricey this time, and the quality of food wise is getting bad. Next thing, we need to take the cab to go down to One Utama. Yeap..this time, all 5 of us (4 ladies and a young guy) took 2 cabs just to get our ass down there for our shopping spree. (And again, they complain again that theirs cost slightly more expensive than me and dotte by few bucks).

The first destination we went thru was Jusco perfume and ladies section, where some of the ladies bought their clothings. Slowly, we explore entire One Utama (Well, to be exact, it was partial sections of it). Next me and Dotte decided to go to Parkson One Utama to do a bit shopping there. :P..After that, the ladies were thinking to get themselves a fantastic jeans at Levis, so we went all the way back to the old wing (feeling : tiring).

After the whole day shopping in One Utama, we went over to the Ikano Powercentre. That time was already 5pm plus, and it was slightly drizzling. My plan was just to walk there, and at first the ladies were like ok with the idea of walking over. What we all didn't realised is that we actually walked all the way from the old wing section, so we basically need to cross the main road, and pass thru the Bandar Utama Park. All the ladies (and include myself) were tired of walking and our feet was so painful, but one of them was even more painful until she bear no more with the pain that she bought herself a slipper from one of the shop in Ikano Powercentre. Next thing they did, they shop for more clothings. Wow...really shopping crazy. It was extremely scary to see them shop.

Night 2
In the evening time, all of us start to feel hungry, so we went over to the Thai Restaurant for dinner. Just seated for a while, the 3 ladies wanted to have dinner at the other side, so only left me and Dotte having dinner at the Thai Restaurant. It was still good though, as we both still manage to 38 with many things.

After dinner, the next thing we need to do is to get back to the hotel. Getting a cab from The Curve is a real pain in the ass. Really damm hard to get one. Only a bit later we manage to get 2 cabs again. Even then, we can't really negotiate the price, and we have to pay for about RM30 just to go back to Bukit Bintang with their excuse of jam during the period (it was 8pm....and TRAFFIC JAM MY ASS.....the journey was so smooth that we don't find it jam at all)

Reaching back in the hotel, the next thing that me and Dotte didn't realise was that our 'roommate' brought her daughter along. What really surprise us again was her daughter brought her friend along as well. Now we had 5 people in the room, 2 people sharing on each single bed, and myself sleeping on the extra bed.

Later that night, their original plan was to go clubbing at places with orang putih in it, so our plan was to go to the Beach Club. That night, me and Dotte was too tired that we all finally call it off, and the ladies were like 'iyerrrrrrrrrrrr', Dotte not going, we also not going. So we all had our impromptu plan; had our 'supper' at BB Cafe instead, and then suddenly thought of Planet Hollywood, so suggested that way and off we walked over to PH. Reaching there,  the ladies are fortunate to know that ladies will be free entrance with complimentary drink. Now, we then finally realise we can't get in and the reason are;-

1) One of the ladies's daughter and her friend were both under-age (below 21 years old). Definitely it's a no-no for them.
2) The 2 ladies forgot to bring their IC along with them, ended up they can't go in unless if they have IC with them.

So we all end up go back to BB Cafe and just listen to the live band music there. Short while later, 2 ladies went up to the room to do their make-up (well, apparently when we first went out, they didn't put up anything at all). And finally they got themselves dressed in a diva outfit. Gosh~

As for me, I just went back to the room and sleep, coz I seriously didn't had enough sleep at those days while all the ladies went over to Planet Hollywood and enjoy themselves and partying hard there.

Day 2
Woke up a bit earlier as the ladies in the room were chatting so loud that it eventually became an alarm clock to me. Woke up earlier again and this date's itinerary was splitted up into groups to do shopping/travelling. Me, Dotte and the 2 other ladies went over to Times Square while another one was with their daughter and the friend. Me and Dotte went over to the temp tattoo stall to get Dotte a nice temp tattoo (and I got mine as well, that lasted me 8days instead of 7days before I finally decided to rub it off as it has gone out of shape already).

Next place we went touring around Times Square before we made our way to Lot 10 for a while before me and Dotte split up again (well...I neverm miss gym class though, so I went over to Menara SCB to catch up) and Dotte did her window shopping around place. By the time I finished up the gym class, she was at Sg Wang waiting for me, meet her up there and we then finally went to Giant to get ourselves something to bring back to the room for drink.

Night 3
We had yamcha session at Starbucks Coffee BB Plaza, then walk around the malls again (to Pavillion, and then back to Sg Wang) and dinner at Teppanyaki Sg Wang. After the final shopping, we then headed back to the hotel room, and time to rest, especially for me as I have to go back to work the next day.

Day 3
I went back to work as usual, while the ladies had planned to go over to Sogo to do their shopping and exploration for whole day.

Night 4
By the time I had finished off with work, I went back to hotel to get change (as it was drizzling wet), and went over to Jalan Alor to collect my laundry stuff, and then went over to put my stuff back the room, showered and had dinner with my friend first before meeting up the ladies for supper, of which I joined them for a lil while before I have to go back to the room and get some early sleep. Well, did chatted a bit while with Dotte though prior to sleep. Well, everyone of us was exhausted with our day stuff, myself with work and ladies with their shopping.

Day 4
By the time I woke up, it's time for me to check out. Saying the 'last' goodbye to Dotte and their friends, carried my stuff back to office, and continue my work. As for Dotte and the ladies, their flight was in the afternoon by AK flight.

Again, saying the goodbye over the sms. And later in the night, I finished my gym class and was on my way home when Dotte messaged me that she arrived back in KK safely and once again looking forward to spend holiday again with me. Well, I hope someday I could plan up something up, like going to places of which DOtte has yet to explore in KL, apart of clubbing. Perhaps to Cameron, or this time maybe try luck or go spinning around with the rides at Genting, or probably somewhere else that we can explore around. Well, still thinking..

Dotte, it's been a great pleasure to meet you again, spend a weekends with you 48hours plus on clubbings, shopping, travelling, eating, window shopping and being chatting all the time. At least this time you and your ladies get to go to clubbing. Someday we shall go to clubs again and start dancing on the dance floor, will ya. See you again next year, Dotte, and meanwhile..Have a great time!!


Blog EntryWhat I Did During The Last RayaOct 21, '07 1:47 AM
for everyone
Hari Raya Eve Night
After 5.30pm, time to get my ass back home; Was so damm tired and bored to wander around KL.

-Hari Raya Eve at 9.05am-
 
Reached home, rest a while before BL fetched me out to have dinner together at Ikea/Ikano Powercentre/The Curve.

At first we both were like wanted to have meatballs at the Ikea for dinner, however due to the last day of Buka Puasa, it was only available for local foods in buffet style. So we went over to the Curve, been asking each other on what to eat. For 20mins time we been walking up and down, we finally found a place to dine together (I just can't stand with my tummy that keep playing drum, ringing the alarm to tell me that it's time to eat something).

We had dinner at Kim Gary Restaurant, but this time we ordered something else; no more cheese baked rice(previously pronounced as bake-ed). Had a typical Nissin Noodles with Spicy Pork and Ying Yong drink.

After dinner, we first went over to the Pet Shop; First we look at the cat. DAMM, they have American Shorthair, Black Greyish in Stripes.

My reaction on it....IYERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~.(Yeah, my friend beh tahan see me act like that).

I enquired about the price of that cat. It was 4 month old (at that point of time), pure breed, and it cost RM1,600. (sigh.....)

Then the next section we visited was the doggie sections. Saw some doggies, especially on Golden Retriever.

They are incredibly adorable. Really suit my taste and my type, however, imagining the part where I have to really take care of it and maintain it will give me a greatest headache. We'll shall find out someday in the future as I still have the greatest dillema on which dog to rear in the future; GOLDEN RETRIEVER?? SIBERIAN HUSKY?? SHIBA INU?? ROTTWEILER?? DALMATIAN?? OR DOBERMAN?? (or perhaps I should get a dog that look like SCOOBY DOO..what kind of breed dog is that?)

-don't they really look the same? what breed is this by the way?-

Next, me and BL split up..I went into Euphony Musical Shop to bang on the piano (my finger were so damm itchy), while he went into MPH. I have been enquiring all kinds of keyboard that was available in the shop, and it seems that the sales guy couldn't really answer my enquiry. Another word, LESS EXPERIENCED. (Message to young sales man, you really need to learn more about music stuff...coz an artist like me can be very fussy and keep asking you lots of question as we have only one thing in our mind..WE WANT THE BEST INSTRUMENTAL STUFF TO PLAY ON)

Next, I went over into MPH for a while and just browsed thru some magz about tech stuff (Yeah..due to my nature of work, I have to start learning tech stuff, especially on mobile phones).

After that, we made our way straight to the PADINI CONCEPTS shop. BL bought himself a shirt and another shirt for his friend's son. As for me, at first I almost wanted to buy a cargo pants. It was really casual and look very good on me as casual guy, really suit me with my another shirt that I just bought recently.

However, it was only a size 32, and when I wore them for fitting purpose, realised that it didn't fit me well as it was slightly bigger than me. Meaning, I pulled the pants down without using the belt and the cargo pants can really go off from my waist. Damm...good news is...I"M SLIM..bad news is....they don't have size 31; They only have size 32 and 33. *sigh*

After our 'shopping' night, we left the place, and then BL sent me home, then all I did was just online, listen to music and watch youtube.com till late night, and thereafter..been dozing off.

Hari Raya Day 1
Woke up earlier due to the nightmare that I have (just don't ask me what was it, coz I don't remember what was it all about). Was supposed to do housechores, but then...was not in the mood to do it.

After lunch hour, went over to Pavillion with CK, had our lunch at ZEN, then we did window shopping around the place.

tiramisu

It was really so huge, and am feeling so diva when I was there doing window shopping.

Oh yeah...I lef the place empty handed. (That's right..been controlling myself for not to shop for unneccesary stuff).

Then went over to Sg Wang to have dinner at the KopiTiam as our original plan to have dinner at Zang Toi was disrupted with it's Holiday Close Down. (DAMM)

After the dinner, I was not feeling well, due to lack of sleep and the shoes that I wore were killing me. I was already look like zombie at that time. Took the monorail down to KL Sentral and then took the taxi and go home straight away. Prior to reach my home, I asked the taxi driver to stop me at the 7-11 for a while to buy 2 mineral bottle before I headed home (that's right, even since I saw the pipe water in my own home were in brown color at one point of time, I got very particular when am drinking water from the pipe via filter and boil)

Once reached home, boiled hot water, shower and online a while before I go to bed.

Hari Raya Day 2

Went over to Midvalley and The Gardens to do window shopping with one of my good friend. Looking at the Gardens, it was simply magnificent in the area of giganticness, filled with all kinds of branded (and non branded) shops. In my opinion, it was a medium end type of the mall for shoppers to enjoy.

Went around the area, including the Robinsons and Isetan, walking thru the males sections on clothings wise, undies, and even display item. It was very nice to  look at it, but really heartache when looking at those prices. Damm...

After that, we went over to Midvalley to hunt for 1 item that I need to shop from there. First, I need a magazine  shelves, for me to put all my health magazine into a proper place and well tidy. Finally manage to find it at Jusco Home Sections. Next stop, we went over to Carrefoure to do my groceries. This time I got whatever basic stuff that I need that can last me at least until end of this month. One of them was to buy the mineral water.

Based on my observation and calculation, a bottle of mineral water outside would cost around RM2.50, while those from Guardian Pharmacy shop would cost RM1.45.

Previous days, we stopped at the petrol station to had the tank filled when I noticed a carton of mineral water that cost only RM13.80 for 12bottles. Calculating it's cost, it would be only RM1.15. Slightly cheaper than others, but they are still mineral water bottled.

I then check it out at the mineral water section, and it even cost lower than the rest. Without hesitation, I took one carton down and put them in the trolley. Looking at the total price that I paid for my groceries was kinda scary, but I think it kinda worth it, coz it will eventually replace all the expenses that I may potentially spend outside.

After the tiring groceries, we headed over to Uptown for dinner. My good friend had recommended me Teow Chew Porridge with few choices of meals.

After ordering them, I thought of asking for the 'onion oil' and got the shock to hear that they don't provide, and in fact, they don't usually use 'onion oil' to complement the food. Too bad, coz it was part of my favourite. Anyway, I just bear with it, and just munch them away. It was real good to have them, together with other meals such as sweet and sour pork, salty egg, veges etc.

After the dinner, he then send me home, helping me carry some of the stuff into my house before I finally called it a night. (Well, before calling it a night, I just relax myself with music and watch Mind Your Language video).

-Monday (Forwarded Public Holiday From Last Saturday) -
Wwooowwwww..I really woke up super da late. Guess I must have been very exhausted that day beforehand. Again, my friend pick me up again for late brunch at Kota Damansara area for Ipoh Yong Tao Foo.

-da ying and da yang-

Based on my experiences, normally Yong Tao Foo don't really come cheap, especially when one (depends on which food you're taking) cost about RM1.50 PER PIECE. (DAMM!!)

To my surprise, it was RM0.80 per piece (ppl : was it this cheap or there's cheaper than this one?)

-paper chicken-
However, not all that applies to this rate. They are some other specialties that cost even more than that. For both of us, we just want to taste whichever food that they have, as long as we get to try it out.

Total price wise...I think it's around RM48 something just for both of us. Wow..that's really pricey (Considering that we took the paper chicken, veges and other price that are not applicable with the RM0.80 per piece).

We then went over to his office for a while as he need to send a quotation to his client asap since we were quite nearby to his work place. Stayed there for a while (and it's boring), finally he has finished his work, we left the place, and he drove me home when CK called me up and ask me if I could accompany him to do window shopping at Midvalley, as something had happened to him and he need to tell me something about it. (sorry guys..this part I will have to NOT talk about what had happened to him..RESPECT!)

Went home a while, change my cloth to my 'sexy wear', then went over to KJ station to meet him up, took the train down to Bangsar LRT station then took taxi to Midvalley.

When we were approaching to the taxi to get a lift, I happened to walk past in front of 2 guys and one of them happened to just spit his 'disgusting birdnest' to the floor. Fortunately for me, he missed the target as I managed to walk slightly faster by one step seeing that he about to spit it out.

In the cab, I've been talking lots of *&(*!@&# while making our way to Midvalley about the incident.

Arriving at the main venue, we first headed to the Yoyo Cafe for yamcha and have a talk about it while enjoying our refreshments (Normally I'll have Ying Yong Iced and 2 sets of toast Bread.)

Then, we started to do window shopping again, starting from The Gardens to Midvalley, walking from one floor to another. Was soooooooooo bored till we have nothing else to do, so we both decided to take the cab down to ONE Utama and continue with our window shopping.

-had my favourite DQ Blizzard while doing window shopping in One Utama-

There was a fashion show going on and we both watched them out from 2nd floor.

We both were giving comments like 'YERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR' and 'YUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK'. You know why? Apparently those female models don't know how to do the real professional catwalk, and to some of them, although they have the face and their upper body, we would somehow prefer them to wear long bootcut pants instead of mini skirts coz their leg were the size of DINOSAUR. (not referring to the above picture)

As for guys wise....OMG..they are sooooooooooooooo totally not qualified to become male model. (again..not referring to the above picture) Looking at them being stiff while walking and striked their pose, we felt disgusted. However, it didn't really applies to all of them. From our view, only 1 female and 1 male models were at least had reached our level standard of expectations.

Roam around the place, then had our dinner at Nandos and then took the cab back to KJ station, and then made my own way back home.

It was indeed a very tiring Raya, but at least I did something during the last Raya, as long as it was not the real boringgggggggggggggggggggggg one that I had last 2 years ago.


Blog EntryMY SEPTEMBER VACATIONSep 25, '07 12:09 AM
for everyone

Recently just got back from my homecoming weekend vacation. It was not really a relaxing as I've been out most of the time instead of resting at home, but I still at least able to have meals with my family and have a funny chat with them..ya know..family talk.

Here's what I've been doing since last weekend.

Eve of Day 1 (20th September) - After work, went home, and finalized my items to wrap and pack before I called it a night. Prior to that, I went on MSN and check my mails before I wanted to go off. Initially I intend to go to KL Sentral around 9pm something to catch a train to KLIA and thereafter, spend a night+morning in the boarding hall until my flight departure at 7.10am.

Previously, a friend of mine promised to send me over to KLIA, that was 2 months ago. Unfortunately to say, this friend has gone MIA, and so does the friendship also goes MIA..and therefore, the promise also goes MIA.

While on MSN, one of my good friend msn-ed me and asked about my flight timing and I told him about it, and also on how I'm going over to KLIA. He was shocked to learned about my initial plan, of which he then volunteer to send me over to KLIA the next morning at 4am. So kind of him. After the chat, I then start to get oink-oink as tomorrow need to wake up earlier.

Day 1, 21 Sept - 4am, woke up with the help of my alarms. Was just in time that he arrived at my place, so put my baggage and together, we left for KLIA at the wee hours. Still damm sleepy.

Upon reaching there, we went to the parking lot, and then went straight to the check-in hall, followby a wee-breakfast at McD KLIA before we wave goodbye (for weekend) and have to go to the boarding hall, wait there and time to call in for flight departure.

Breakfast of the flight was either Nasi Lemak Ayam and Sotong Rendang or Omellete with Mashed Potato, however I mistaken hearing the Omellette as roti canai, so I took the not-so-delicious-Nasi Lemak Ayam and a rubberish-sotong.

Arrived at my destination at around 10am plus. Fetched by my elder brother and went home to settle down a while before I continue do my work before I begin to declare my days as HOLIDAY. (I have my internal intention that if my collegue were to call me during that time, I will not pick up their call, nor reply to their msg unless it's an urgent case. Fortunately, none of them distract my mood of holiday).

Afternoon, met up the DIVAS of the century for lunch (as promised). We met up at Equatorial Restaurant which situated at Tg Aru Plaza. The food was quite nice, especially it has fishes fillet..yummy..

DIVAS OF THE CENTURY

Then, me and DC went over to her office and to meet up my ex-collegues for a while (whille SF went home) and have a quick yamcha with FF, and we happen to bump into my former boss..so damm paiseh want to say hi to him. Anyway, I finally did say hi to him, and it's pretty weird to say hi to him and after that become speechless for don't know what else to say.

After yamcha session, send DC home, then back to my own home and rest a while, then me and my sis went over to Citymall, happen to find out that there's Y Fitness to be open in KK. Me and my sis had a tempting dessert at Yogur Berry, and I happen to know that there will be a branch in KL at the New Wing of the Sunway Pyramid.

Yummy!

Rushed home and we got stuck in the jam. Bummer!. Reached home, it was already 6.30pm and the sky was damm dark already. So not use to it (again!).

Mum and brother just got back home, and almost got scolded for not reaching home earlier. :P.. Anyway, all of us had quick shower before we all went over to SuperTanker Restaurant at Bundusan for our first night family dinner. Of course we do have our family moments where we have family talk.

What most important of all is that the night are a fillingful night with a great food to consume on that night.

yummy Yok Choi Kai (Chicken Herbal)
 
Pau Suk Sun (Sweet Corn Soup)
 
Veges
 
My biggest favourite : KU LAU NYUK (Sweet and Sour Pork)
 

Chau Ha Gung (Fried Prawn)

After dinner, my next plan was to meet up my best friend Rach and Ong-Ong for yamcha, and we have it at Starbucks Warisan Square. Had a great time to crap lots of stuff. Oh yeah, drove her Grey Myvi from her place to Warisan Square (I parked my car at her place lor)

Blueberry Cheesecake

Hot Chocolate

Day 2, 22 Sept - Morning been sleeping like pig.

Yeah..I sleep like this...cute right? ~Oink Oink~

Lunch hour, went over to my former office for a while to pass an item to my ex-collegue before I start to do shopping. Then went over to Karamunsing Complex to meet up my mum for lunch at KFC, then a brief window shopping before sending her back home and then I made my way to Wawasan Plaza for another round of shopping. This time, the sales girls were asking me if I'm a Singaporean. My last visit, I was being mistaken as Korean.

Suppose to meet up another friend for yamcha during that time, however, due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to meet up, and then after I settle my own things, I then meet up Rach again for an outing at the beach at Tg Aru Beach. Had such a crazy moments, but it was a memorable one, as it has been a while I since step on a beach and play with the water.

sunset at the beach is always the best view to enjoy it's serenity

Went to Sutera Marina Club to fetch my sis and her friend from her study group session and we went over to Wisma Merdeka to do a bit shopping on my grooming stuff before we finally call it a day and I have to send the girls back home.

Reaching home, rest a while before took shower, watched Mind Your Language for a while before me and my siblings went to Lil Italy for our dinner as our parents were attending a wedding dinner. OOo..indeed, we had our great time to have our pastas for the night.

homemade Fresh Lemonade
 
Siciliano in Fusilini

lasagna

My next activity for saturday night I have 2 sessions of yamcha, of which one of them is back to Starbucks again. Sien~

Day 3, 23 Sept - Morning had a short visit to see my grandma for a while, and then went over to Foo Phing for dim sum breakfast, then went over to attend church service. Many of them got surprised to see me coming back again for weekend, for them, it was unexpected :P

Afternoon, had Jappy lunch at Palm Square, then afternoon rest at home a while before go out again to meet up my x-classmate Cecilia for yamcha at San Francisco and we chatted for hours until sunset.

Evening, just about to take shower when Uncle Fong and Auntie Nelly with their lil prince Ayden just arrive. Shortly after that, lil prince's King and Queen came over. We then had dinner together, and I just got to found out that our dinner was 90% MEATS!!..We had Black Pepper Lamb, my favourite Lemon Chicken, steam chicken, 'Kiu Nyuk' a.k.a. some sort of 'babi'. and a plate of a sayur that I don't know how to call it. Anyway, we enjoyed the fellowship and meals.

Then we watched Mind Your Language on other episodes together in my room before I have to call it a night again, and me and my mum have to go online to make online booking for my CNY holiday trip. After making a comparison between MH and AK, we finally make the final decision to take the flight at the cost that we can bear, and we have to go thru with the trouble to fill in the informations just to get it done. And my next trip back to KK will be during CNY..(it will be a mystery).

Went to fetch Still a.k.a. TAMBI for yamcha at Coffee Bean starbucks, whereby I happen to see CBK (Chee-Bye-Kia) who was there with his own gangs, which I just don't give a damm of his existence. Anyway, me and tambi had a quick and a memorable chat, been talking about work future stuff.

Day 4, Sept 24 - Whole morning, again, sleep like pig. Once awake, time to do a quick-and-headache packing. Then went over to my mum's place to fetch her up for lunch with Fifi at Donggongon to have Ngiu Chap. After lunch, mum send me home and I did my final inspection of my packing before I get my dad to send me off to the airport. (Mum got me a new laptop bag as my current black laptop bag unable to use due to one of it's strap got torn off. Damm..)

My new compact version of laptop bag

Say hello to this 'nigger' 'NI-NI'

At the check in, I get the check-in staff to book me a seat at the back row by the window seat, after the wing. Guess what, I got a wonderful gift from him with the boarding pass that bears with my seating '7A'. Damm....that seat don't have window one lar...aiya..........kek sei ngo.

Since I was early, I went over to my ex-company for a while to meet up my ex-collegues. (That's right. Last time I used to worked at this company, and had gone thru with lots of shits with them, but I guess it was all about experience.). Had a good crazy chat with them when there was a sudden no-electricity. Yeah...no-electricy in the airport..pretty weird huh!? Apparently, KKIA is still in the midst of upgrading the building structure for future convenience.

And again..minutes of waiting before time of boarding, it was so damm stuffy hot like crazy. Dammit. Sweat it out. Bought myself 2 new cuties.

Meet Jiraf and Dofi

Time for boarding and getting my ass into the 7A (Da Seat With No Window). During the meal time, we were served either a rice with chicken meat with whatever sauce and another one is tomato rice with masala fish fillet. Apart of it, there's salty peanuts and bittersweet chocolate, of which a lady sitting next to me gave me the choc as she can't eat them. And since she munch on some salty peanuts, I wanted to give her my packet as I don't take peanuts (and one more tips...when inflight, don't take salty peanuts or otherwise, a passenger can suffer pain in their ear during the descend a.k.a landing).

After we finished the meals, we both chatted a while, and got to found out that she's a KL-ian, came over to KK for her family trip for 3D2N, so far only been to Pulau Manukan and also had Seafood restaurant most of their nights. She also in turn got to found out that I'm a Sabahan who are making my way to KL to get back to work.

Upon arriving, made my way straight to the domestic arrival hall, and then my friend, the one that send me to KLIA at the wee-hours, fetch me up from KLIA and send me back home. He was indeed very kind, that I bought him a souvenir as a token of his help and kindness.

Time past very fast, KK trip is already over. However, am looking forward again to go there by next year CNY. Meanwhile...time to get my ass and start working it out on my tummy coz I've been eating too much.


Blog EntryTravelling and Food time in KKJun 1, '07 12:34 AM
for everyone
The last I blogged was on the 27th, talking about my days in KK, and also about the wedding day and dinner that we had during the last weekend.

Today was already 29th May 2007, the final day for me to be in KK, and the hour where I have to fly back to my work place for work. Too bad there's no holiday on the 30th and 31st May in KL, or I would have took lots of holiday. Some more, there's another holiday on the 2nd June (Agong's Birthday)

On Sunday prepared myself to go to church to attend the service, which after that had lunch with mum, sis, uncles and auntie, (me and sis had ice cream burger)before heading back home and rest a while.

Ice Cream Burger

Original plan on the Sunday afternoon was suppose to go out with Still, however due to his illness, plan had to be cancel. Can't think of any activity on that day itself, therefore I had decided to stayed home until night time. The only best time for me to relax at home by reading comic, online and listen to music in my room. (And I played Kingdom Hearts ; Chain of Memories, and up-to-time, I only left 2 more level before I could finish the game and to see the ending.

Mum had ordered dumplings and my grand-aunt had made us roasted duck (and even had cherries, specially flown from UK) and I was asked to collect them from auntie's house. While collect the food, I also take this opportunity to visit grandma for short chat before I went back home for dinner.

During the dinner, there's lots of homely food of which I couldn't get them in KL. We had great time fellowship with each other, had our family gossips and laughter. Later at night, myself and my siblings decided to head towards Warisan Square for a bit of window shopping and had a 'yam-cha' session at Starbucks while having a '38' session.

On the 28th May, woke up earlier, got changed and headed to my former office to meet up my ex-collegue as this day our activity is to search for Fried Tuaran Mee in the town of Tuaran. Upon arriving there, we were looking out for the shop but in vain, we couldn't manage to find them. So, our diva eventually suggested that we should head to Tamparuli to try out Fried Tamparuli Noodles.

We then finally arrive at the shop, (and I bumped into my x-school mates, they were having lunch there..and what on earth there were doing in Tamparuli for lunch. Had a lil chat with them though).

After a meal, we went over to Asia City for Wawasan Plaza for my shopping, then heading to Wagamama Japanese Restaurant in Asia City for lunch.

Perodua latest car 'VIVA' which has been just released recently, was finally appeared at the centre of the court for us to view them. Took a quick look on them and I finally found that it is bigger than Kancil and smaller than Myvi. Pricing is ranging around RM26k - RM48k from 550cc-1000cc. Although it seems to be so cute to drive, the only con part about this VIVA is the bumper area was too low, increasing chances  of getting lots of scratch if it have to go thru the bumps.

We did a bit bit shopping at Japan Home Shop (which I think so far in KL, we only have 100 yen shop). SF or known as Mamasan, bought me a box of 4 colourful japanese bowl, which was so nice that she presented it to me as my birthday present in advance, while DC, known as Asam Diva, bought me a japanese biscuits (She gave me air revitalisor earlier that day).

We headed to CPS as I'll be meeting up Still for jalan jalan while the divas want to do a bit of shopping at Palm Square, and there we made separate ways, our goodbye once again.

Roam around at Palm Square and CPS while I made a quick visit to my former office to meet up my ex-collegue and had a quick chat before we went off to Tanjung Aru for a quick snap of photo, and have an Avocado Drink (From what I know, KL-ians doesn't know how to eat/drink avocado due to it's super bitter...well, you need to know how to eat them though coz it require a special ingredient to eat it with)

Headed home through the very jam hours until my mum had nag on me via on the phone, asking my whereabouts. Upon reaching home, my mum told me that the cake was inside the fridge for me to have a lil simple celebration for my birthday (My birthdate can be found on Auron-Declan's Schedule). My family sang birthday song, and I had made a wish (advance version) before I blow them out.

Ooooo......2 Big Candles and 5 Small Candles...that means..??

Later at that night we had dinner at the Seafood Restaurant (behind the GSC complex) together with Uncle Richard. It was such a fulfilling night that my stomach are full with seafoods.

Headed home to do a bit clean up on my wardrobe, and to do a bit packing on my luggage before I went out again to fetch Rach and went to Starbucks Warisan Square for Photoshop Session.

Realising that my days has been too short for me to enjoy myself while at hometown, making me feel a bit regret for not taking longer leave (despite with the NPL status..haha)


Blog EntryTrip to KK in MAY 2007May 27, '07 1:40 PM
for everyone

Am all alone in the plane. Yeap.. once again, I'm flying back to KK not just for my vacation, but to attend my cousin's wedding (having me to become his honorary pianist during the wedding day).

Few months before my cousin's biggest day, I have already booked the ticket via online, with one of the way that I have purchased cheap fare (and the other way was damm expensive).

This year in February I went back home for my CNY, so right after my CNY trip, I've been looking forward to go back to hometown once again for weekend.

Just 2 months prior to my cousin's wedding, my mum asked me if I could play piano for my cousin's wedding at the church, of which that time I never agree nor disagree, just reminding my mum that they will need to understand my situation right now, seeing that I'm all alone in KL, with no proper equipment for me to practice.

Just a month prior to my trip, I was on the phone with my mum to chat on some issues (mother-son's talk) when my mum reminded me that I have to play piano for my cousin, and I'll go..(MATI KUDASAI!!). I got my sister to scan and transfer it over to my pc via msn so that I could study the scripts before I start to practice them at home.

My original plan is; once I reach home, I get some sleep till the next morning. The first thing in the morning after breakfast, I'll be only having 2 hours of practice on 2 weddings songs, and also 2 hymms. (I guess my mum, uncle and cousin were probably thinking that I am a super pianist).

The night before my trip, I didn't really had good sleep and wasn't feeling that well either. Had been sneezing for almost whole day until I ran out of tissue rolls, and later that night, went over to Midvalley for gym, then had dinner before head home for packing.

I have totally no idea what to wear during the wedding day and dinner, so I've been observing my cloth before making decision of which cloth to bring. Despite that I have tried to minimize number of items, my luggage seems to be moderate heavy, filled with my nice clothings.

On the day of my trip, I got my collegue Fixx to fetch me from my home as I'll be bringing my luggage over to office (and it's ridiculous for me to roll my bag from my home to KJ station).

Reached office and my whole day was just busy doing coaching and update reports. Later in the afternoon was even more busy, when I have to do coachings on client audits and also QA coaching for the agent's 3rd week, and I didn't realise time ticks very fast that it was time for me to get my butt off work.

And again, Fixx had gave me car lift to KJ station, and then took train and head to KL Sentral, then took bus to LCCT.

Upon arrival at LCCT, I wander around LCCT while waiting for Kev (a photo-vain buddy freak of mine) to arrive and have dinner together. (Just few days ago I have chatted with him and told him that I'll be flying back to my hometown, and he told me that he's flying back on the night I fly back, and it was coincidently that we were departing for our own hometown and yet at the same departure time.)

We had dinner at Asian Cafe, which was so damm expensive as a diner in airport. Food wise, damm NOT interesting as there are too many flies around, despite of the purple-UV-instant killing-fly-machine being installed at the corner of the shop. Not just that, the food was also exposed with flies (And I'm kinda regret of buying foods from there). Money wise, not worth it. That will be the first and my last to go for this cafe.

Next, we headed to our check in counter. I was on Q, behind 4 middle aged uncles and aunties, and they were asking me where I'm flying to, then after I told them my destination, they asked me to check in first as they have a lot of baggages to check in. (Lucky-O-ME).

After check-in, accompany Kev for his turn to check in before we headed towards the boarding hall, had 'yam cha' session at the Buy & Fly Cafe (This one not bad, and it's reasonably cheap. Should have come here.) We both checking out on hot chicks around us. Cool, huh!

Just 30mins prior to our departure, we both seperated for our own journey, preparing ourselves to go on board. Kev was lucky as his flight was on time, while mine....aiyaya. It was delayed by another 30mins due to the late arrival of the aircraft that we were going on board and refilling the petrol.

Now I am here...all lonely..lonely I am, listening to Cascada - Everytime We Touch (A nice song indeed, especially the slow version..very touch). Battery here running low, need to shut off soon. Meanwhile, do hear more from me soon, from Kota Kinabalu. Auron, signing off!
