Dining at DELIcious restaurant

Alright this is a late post because I was too lazy to transfer the pictures in the memory card to my laptop. Ya... blame it on my idleness. Hehe

While we were in KL, my sis and her bf brought us to dine in DELIcious restaurant at Jalan Tun Razak along with her friends. Well, it was our first time dining there. We love the place the moment we stepped in. What I like the most is the ambiance. It was great and it is really suitable for couple's romantic dinner as well for a small gathering with friends.

I really love this!

The food portion is really big but it comes with a reasonable price. Worth paying for it.

Honestly, I was more towards the desserts section. I don't know why, but desserts always have some kind of spell on me. Haha! Every time I browse through a menu, I found myself looking at the dessert section first than the main course. And I always have a hard time choosing which to have.

I love the Banana Pudding with Caramel syrup. There is this dessert with some strawberries on top, but I did not write down the name. Heard from my sis it tasted great. Unfortunately, we did not ordered that as we were actually quite full.

Well, I guess I need to try that on the next trip down to KL. Would like to dine here once more!

What a day!

12th November 2009, around 7.30 - 8 p.m :

Car broke down in the middle of a traffic jam. While I was driving back from Queensbay Mall, I've realized that it's getting hot in the car. Hot air is coming out from the air-con, then suddenly I noticed that the needle in my car temperature gauge went up to the red zone and white smoke is coming out from my car hood. Worst thing was I am not only stuck in a traffic jam but I was somewhere near the roundabout. I knew that this was a bad place to pull over when there was just only two lanes to use. *Imagine how congested it would be* On the other hand, I knew that if I did not pull over, my car would really be in a deep trouble.

Without hesitating, I turned off the engine. Put on the hazard lights. Waited for a few minutes to let the car cool down. I panicked because I was scared that the car engine might explode within any seconds. *Wild imagination huh* Called my mum, told her everything and asked have I check and filled in water into the coolant reservoir tank? I said it has already been filled a few weeks ago. I remembered it vividly so does my baby.

Restart the engine and drove my car quickly to a safe spot rather than in a congested road before the temperature gauge gets close to the red zone. I examined the coolant reservoir tank and realized that the water level is quite low. But it's not possible because I knew me and baby just refilled it not long ago. Well, maybe it's possible as well since we used this car quite often.

Anyway, I refilled the tank with water. *it would always be safe to leave a bottle of water in the car, in case of emergency* Waited for a few minutes before restarting the engine. Watch the temperature gauge obsessively in case the needle approaches the red zone again.

But fortunately, everything seems fine on the way back. Thank God! What a day huh!! But it's a great learning experience.

My Japs Friends

I have a wonderful, amazing sweet Japanese friends! Never regret the chance of getting to know them as they really plays a part in colouring my life. I hope they would stumble across my blog and read this post, realizing how much I miss them and reminisce those moments that we shared!! I'm glad that all of us get along very well.

I miss my flatmate, Akemi who is a good cook & typically has no temper at all. *I'm serious about the temper thingy* She's just like a sister to me. And my sweet babe Ayumi. Of course Yuki, Hanae, Kyoko, Yumi, Nagisa & Makiko too. They too, are totally like Akemi who shows no temper tantrums in spite of what situations they are facing. They are just so..... calm.

Does all Japanese are trained to be free from temper tantrums?? I wonder how they do that. I guess they really do have a high tolerance level than any of us here.

Strangers to Lovers

Now....this is the story of the love of my life. Guess you guys would like to know how do we both end up as lovers. You might not believe this or even laugh about it after reading this.

Here goes the story....

We once used to study in the same college in Penang. Frankly, we do not know each other, but we do know who we are. I got to know his name through some Prom thingy as he is one of the candidate, and I must admit, the most good looking among them. Well, he obviously do have a lot of fans cheering and supporting him to be the next Prom King. I guess he broke his fan's heart the minute he withdrew from the competition.

Throughout the 2 years of college, I do not take any interest in him, even to the point of being a friend. It just doesn't interest me a particle. So does he. Both of us been occupied with things going on in our very own life as we move forward to the next stage of episode of life in KL.

I must say that life in KL is tense where there were tightening schedules of classes, never-ending exams, and too occupied with the entertainment in the city that never sleeps. Once, I saw him around the area where I stayed and there's another time where I saw him somewhere near the entrance of the college. Actually, it's a compound which comprise of a stretch of lecture classes where his Uni and my college shared. Honestly, I did not know whether is him or his twin brother. I did not pay much attention in differentiating who is who back in the early years of college. It really confuses me that moment but I couldn't be bothered at all. Like I said, it doesn't interest me at all.

Then came one day, I was busy replying testimonial to my cousin in Friendster where I saw his account. My cousin knew him through some society they joined. Out of nowhere, with the curiosity and itchiness of my hand, I clicked his account. I never really seen him that upclose in real life, so a photo would do best and maybe might even stumble upon a photo of his gf if he had one. So, I think that's the curiosity that kills me.

But it just never occurred to me to get his message and to know that somehow I look familiar to him. There we go, replying each other talking about how we get to know who we are, that he's this prom candidate and etc. From friendster to msn to sms and until the point where we got the courage enough to talk on the phone. It always feels comfortable talking to him. I never know why but it's just this trust that I have in him. I don't know where or how it come but I knew it's there.

After months and months getting to know each other a little deeper, I knew he will be a close friend of mine. So, we hang out together and I gotta admit that at first, it's kinda awkward but we managed to get over it. As time passes by, we hang out more often and slowly, things started to change. Something has evolved in us. But we take things slow.. to make sure.

Then there's this outing which changed our life forever. You see, both of us encounter some incident of our own few years ago. The very incident of his own and mine left us mending our brokenness and questioning ourselves the readiness for a new relationship when the time comes. Apparently, he decided to give it a try and so do I. And the rest, well...you know is history.

I have never regretted I give this relationship a try at that very moment and I thank God for giving us this chance and bringing him into my life. This relationship, it is different than anything else we had experienced. I had never thought that I would meet someone as loving as he is, the sureness that he is the one and had my whole unattached life planned out.

In this coming October 15, it would be our 2nd year anniversary. We are glad we have made it this far and still going strong with the ups and downs, the mixtures of joys and sorrows.

We knew we will made it much more further... forever and of course, keep getting stronger!!

I love you to bits babykia!!

From foe to friend

We all have our friends, some who you have a close-bonded friendship or some "Hi-Bye" friends. But no matter what, we always do have someone who always mean more than just a friend, or should I say the best of all friends, our BEST FRIEND...whom we exudes trust, whom we confide all our deep-thoughts to when you were in elementary days, all through high school and in college.

I have mine too, my bestest best friend! Her name is Ashley. Where do I begin to babble on about Ashley?? Let's start on how we get to be so close, and if memory serves me right, we are actually two persons from two different worlds where we don't have anything in common until we really get to know each other.

Before we get even close to being friend, we were ENEMIES!! Yes...I've said it, enemies!! Can you imagine that we used to go to the same kindergarten, and in the same class as well. But it never really serves as a part of my memory until the class photo came into the picture.

Alright, let's fast forward to Primary 4. This would really sound silly but whenever me and Ash brought this up, we could not stop laughing at our very own puerile. You can't really blame us, after all we were once childlike. You see, we used to sit with our own friends who we always mingled with. Then one day, our class teacher decided to switch our places because according to her, we were loquacious. She arranged me to sit beside Ash. Gosh!! Ever since then, we loathe each other soooo much until the point of separating our table and gave verbal warning that if anything *like eraser, pencil, ruler... you name it* happened to cross mine or her boundaries, I am going to throw it away...like really away!! *ferocious huh!! that's what you get for awakening the little cub within*

You see, we still don't like nor mix with each other until we proceed to secondary, that's when our friendship starts to blossom. I don't know how or when or what that starts drawing us closer but I'm definitely happy that it happened. We really became good friends ever since that time. And I'm proud to say that we have been best friends for a decade..and still counting!! And the ordinary occurrences that seem comical to us was that sometimes some teacher really do get confused with us because they said we both look kinda alike. *Instead of calling us by our own name, our name were switched* We were like..."Whatt!! Where got!! Which part??!!"

Our favorite past time, of course would be having our "mee-suah" conversation and hanging out doing shopping and silly things together. She has become a part of my family..always will be!!

Along the way, we, of course have found some good friends we love soooo much and still loving them. We hang out as a group, but to me...I would consider them as "Family" and we will always remain as a family, no matter what! You guys know who you are!!

I don't know what else to tell you about her. We've been through a lot together and I'm glad all of this revolves around FUN!! I could probably go on and on for pages but I think even Ash would dozed off reading it so I won't. Instead, I'm gonna tell her how much I love her!!

Before I forget, her big day is around the corner...so, Happy Birthday Darling!!~ *tight hugs & noisy kisses*

Our friendship will never come to an end...!!

My bitch and I


I love you.....

Vagabond...

I don't know where I stand
I don't know what I will become
I don't know what I want
I wish I could turn back the time so I could undo what I have done
so I won't be in such a haste, but pause to put on my thinking cap
I am a little dazed by my own insanity and stupidity
I know wishes don't always come true..especially this one...

Everything is so whimsical at that time
How nice if I am prepared in the right frame of mind and broaden my exposure to face the arduous and painful process
If only I am not dubious on myself
If only I endure....

I have always wonder will there be another opened door for me
The same one when I am all psyched up
Should I say us..
Or a better, greater one which I am not bound to know yet..


I have lost my train of thought
Aimlessly drifting
Could you tell me where I am, not geographically..but in existentialist way
A question that has been eating away at me for quite sometime...

Where do you stand??

Just indulge....

Saturday 15.08.09

Baby and I decided to hang out at Island Plaza Coffee Bean since he has a free coupon of RM10 as a gift from Yinhooi for his birthday. A weekends/weekdays in this little corner has always been a perfect spot for relaxation, furthermore we need a short escape.

I just love the smell of the roasted coffee beans whenever I walk in the coffee house (Coffee Bean & Starbucks) where it wakes your senses as well as the ambiance where it is always racy yet cozy and quite mellow which set the mood for a comfortable drink.

I love to head to a coffee house coupled with some good novels, grab some food or beverages *especially green tea rhumba cream frappucino...my favorite!!* and just enjoy the ambiance while you dig into your favorite novel. And I can honestly say that Starbucks is my favorite reading holes.

Well, we sat there for a while. And..... with such nice atmosphere, we couldn't help but to camwhore a little! *as usual...tee-hee..*

Just a little....

We ordered...Green Tea!

Do you smell what the Rock is cooking??!!

Candid..

A Saturday night wrap-up!!

Down with diarrhoea..

I love this pic...it's cute doesn't it?? Got it from fis 2009 blog.

Ughhh....Several days ago, I had diarrhoea but it's not the serious type. It all started at 6 am. Can you believe it??!! 6 AM!! *Suppose to be sleeping soundly, wandering into my sweet dreams*

I don't know how many times I have visited the toilet and I don't know what have I eaten to cause this... but at the end of the day, I'm getting better after popping some pills specially for diarrhoea. And...what makes me happy was that..........

my baby drove all the way from his place to my place just to check on me on such late hours. How sweet!! *feels touched*

A heartfelt thank you to you hubby for your tender loving care... Love you to bits!!

Anxiety

*SHOUT*.... "Let the stress begin!!" ...........ugh..!

Some of you might know why....

Heart-warming

I have come across a one meaningful e-mail that I would like to share it with you.
Here how it goes:

Dear son, Dear daughter
The day you find that I have become very old,
try to have some patience with me & try to understand me.

If I get dirty while eating..
if I have some difficulty dressing.. be patient!
Remember the hours that I spent teaching you these things when you were small.

If I repeat the same thing dozens of time,
do not interrupt me!
Listen to me!



When you are small, you kept asking me to read you the same story,
evening after evening, until you fell asleep
And I did it happily!



If I do not wash myself so often under the shower,
do not reprimand & do not tell me that it is a shame
Remember how many excuses I had to invent to make you take a bath when you were small.

Be seeing my ignorance of new technologies,
do not laugh at me but give me time to understand.
I taught you so many things..
to eat well..
to dress well..
to behave well..
how to confront the problems of life..

If sometimes I lose memory or am not able to follow a conversation,
give me the necessary time to recollect & if I do not get there,
do not become a nervous & arrogant person,
because the most important thing for me is to be with you
& to be able to speak to you.

If I refuse to eat,
do not force me!
I know very well when I am hungry & when I am not hungry..



When my pour legs will not allow me to move as before..
Help me in the same way as when I held your hands to teach you take your first steps.

& when one day,
I shall say to you that I do not want to live anymore..
that I want to die,
do not get angry..
because one day, you will also understand!

Try to understand that at certain age,
we do not really live anymore.
We simply survive!

One day, you will understand that in spite of all my errors,
I always wanted what was best for you.



You do not have to feel sad, unfortunate or incompetent
in front of my old age & of my state.
You have to stay near me, try to understand what I live for.



Help me walk, help me to end my life with LOVE & PATIENCE.
The only thing that I need from you is a SMILE & a lot of LOVE.

I love you...my son, my daughter!

Your dad, your mum.

Pondering...

Long long time ago, I always have this plan to adopt a puppy and I guess now it is time to do so. I'm all excited about it. BUT... I don't know which breed should I get? Perhaps a Shih Tzu, or a Mini Schnauzer, or a Cocker Spaniel, or a Yorkshire Terrier? And if I buy, it will cost me a few hundreds. *pokai* Or should I wait for my sister's boyfriend's soon-to-be-puppies? ( but it will still take a long time *pout lips* )

Hmmm..actually, I love Yorkshire Terrier. They are soooooo tiny and adorable. But it costs a BOMB! Last year, my best friend bought a Yorkshire Terrier. She named her little April Star. Well, me and several of our friends planned to fork out some money to buy her a puppy of her preference as her birthday present since her little Pixie Pumpkin, a Shih Tzu went missing.

Poor little Pixie... I miss you!!

Since we bought her a puppy as a gift, from then onwards, we are Little April Star's AUNTIES! Look at her!! Isn't she irresistible?? She is so cute that you just want to take her in your arms, pinch her, her hug and kiss her!! Sometimes she is kinda mischievous but still a loveable puppy!!

April at 8 weeks old

Grown up April...and still growing

Hmmm... so now, should I buy or should I wait for the pups? Buy? Wait? Buy? Wait? *Headaches*

What says you??

Now, here I am, marking down my episodes of life. So, get ready to tune into my life's cookies where you know the bits and pieces of me.
