Night out at Bangsar... Where else can we go???

So it was another Pak Tor session and we had another minor headache thinking of where to go. This time around, my dear thought of Bangsar, a place we haven't been to since we started our relationship less than 3 months ago. I was thrilled with the idea because then I can go do some shopping at Telawi! Yeah~~~!!!So first thing first we had dinner at this very old-school-looking Kopitiam called Nam Chun, which I believe I've been there before with Uncle Yip. Apperantly there were quite a lot of poeple dining over there, and most of them were having those dishes with rice from the stall with the name 'Steven' on it.
We ordered dear's favourite Wat Dan Yuen Yong, a Sang Chao Wong Dai Mien and a Tofu with Choy Sum dish. My dear doesn't like their Wat Dan Yuen Yong, adding that the one I cooked is better (hahaha... :p). But we both love the Sang Chao Wong Dai Mien, which has Char Siew in it. The Tofu and Choy Sum dish was pretty good too! The Wat Dan Yuen Yong... Yea I agree it doesn't even look very good...
The very yummy Sang Chao Wong Dai Mien.
The Tofu dish has some mince pork, prawns and some dried sotong on top of it.
My squarish and cute bf... :D
My dear's leng lui gf... *grin*
Together with two small bowls of rice the meal costs RM25. Not too bad hey!

And then we strolled past Telawi, visiting some of the boutiques. Some are just so disappointing while some closed early... So yea, ended up buying nothing... :(
And then we ended the night with a drink at PapaRich at Telawi...I tell you what, I'm absolutely loving my new hairstyle!
Well of course not as much as the love for my dear lar (ish bloody yok mah I cannot take it anymore! :p)!
We are getting use to the fact that we are a 'mobile couple' because we don't really have a private room or house to just hang out together. So we are constantly thinking of places to go. So yea, slowly we are exploring new places.
But... If you have any new places to go for pak-tor session, please do leave comment and tell me all about it! I would really appreacite it!!!

Bonus pic: Took this at a smelly fruit stall in Bangsar, with the rubbish bin at the side... Do you dare to drink sugarcane juice after seeing this???

Pray for the people of Haiti...

*Photo taken from MSNBC

Yet another disaster, another earthquake, this time around it's in Haiti. It is estimated that 100,000 are dead. Very sad... :(
Let's pray hard for the people of Haiti...
At the same time, please be good to the earth because I think a lot of you have the same feeling as I do on all these natural disasters. God is punishing human for not taking care of the earth. It's time to wake up, people!!!

Brunch @ K3K Benta Kaya, Subang SS15

It was a Sunday morning where I had not enough of sleep *yawn~* because of the boy next door, Ken... Yes, aunty (Ken's mum), an nyeong ha se yeo~! If you're reading, your son just came home drunk last Sunday morning at about 2 something and vomited in the toilet and woke me up while my sister, Ducum had to clean the toilet for him... ==|||
Anywayz, I'd promised my dear that I would join him and his church friends to have brunch after their church session. Yea, after going out with him, I got to know some of his church friends as well...
Ivy and Ket Weng, hi~! :p
So we went to K3k Benta Kaya which I've been there once before and found it pretty good. In fact, I didn't know what are the food that are actually famous in Kuala Lipis, Pahang! From the outside, K3K is a bit like some overly commercialised kopitiam, but the food they serve are definitely different. I must say, in a way, very homey.Taken by Ket Weng I think... I was still very sleepy... *Yawn~*
Unlike Ket Hon, who was already so up and excited about the brunch! LOL! By the way, I think the aunty at the back is quite 'qiong geng'!
I've tried the milky noodles before and I thought it's great, despite the fact that it doesn't come with vege(you know I'm very fussy about that). The Penghulu Fried Chicken Rice is very yummy too. Ivy's Nasi Lemak with Rendang is definitely very tempting as well, especially the rendang! I tried the Fish Head Mihoon that day, and I think it's not too bad, especially when it comes with pieces of yam in it! Not that I'm a fan of yam(I'm soooo not), but it feels like it uses the very ori recipe lor. But the fish are just fish fillet in stead of fish head lar. Look at the rendang! Doesn't it look so seducing?
The yummy milky noodles...
The Penghulu Fried Chicken Rice... Very good if you're not on a diet plan! Haha...
Love the fact that the fish balls are homemade, the mihoon are the thick ones and the fact that they give a generous amount of sesame oil!
They also have this special Topee, which looks a bit like a mini pizza. I've tried both the Tomato and the Kaya Butter one. I think the sweet one is better because of the yummy homemade Kaya.The Western Kinda Topee, which is called the Tomato Topee.
Oh~ You must try this Kaya Topee~!
The price is also reasonable, with each main dish costing less than 10bucks. Not too bad for the nice food you know.

Breakfast Buffet @ Atrium Cafe, Pyramid Tower

I actually had a bad experience with Atrium Cafe's hi-tea buffet last birthday. But I wanted to give the breakfast buffet a try because I figured breakfast only mah, no matter how it won't go too wrong, right?
So I got my dear up early today just to have breakfast with me, because I love having breakfast! Like 卢广仲said, breakfast is rock & roll style~~~!!!
Okay, too much of talking...
First look at the stuff that they have over there, I was amazed! They have Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western cuisine, with a big pastry counter that sweet lovers would love! The Indian department amazed me the most. They have like roti canai, tosai and whole loads of different curries! Perhaps it's because Indians love to dine here? Hmmm... Anywayz, the breakfast buffet there was just what I'm looking for! :D
Here are what we had...Shirlexia's style is... Have fruit before meal.
First plate we had, with even smoked salmon and smoked duck!
Fried Mihoon, baked beans and fried egg! Yum, I love fried mihoon as breakfast!
My dear was so surprised with the... (he is so funny that's why we clicked! :p)
The rendang chicken which he had with the nasi lemak lar! The rendang was super delicious okay!
What? I can't eat my salad with chopsticks meh???
The very bad dim sum but very nice onion and mushoom omelette, which I had another one later. :p
My Teochew porridge with some Yao Tiu. Quite nice too!
The sweet pastry department... Didn't like them too much though.
Had another plate of this, and then some cornflakes later too.
Overall, the breakfast buffet was pretty good. Nice food, nice atmosphere and all. It's better than the one we had at Maytower earlier. Well I wish the dim sum can be improved though, they are really bad. But yea, overall it was a nice and enjoyable breakfast outing with my dear.
We tried to take some pics over there but none of them turn out to be very good. So I'm putting this pic that we took a night ealier in stead...And the mat salleh behind as our background...
Nice??? :p

I'm lovin' ma new hairstyle~! :D

As usual, I wanted a new hairstyle for a brand new year. If my face is not so 'bao' then I might just go for the super short one. Too bad I have to stick with longer hair to cover up my meaty face. :(
I let the hairdresser lady did whatever she wanted to do with my hair and...
Ta da... I LOVE IT!!!
It's longer at one side and shorter at the other! And the back is actually very short. I really really love it!
What do you think, huh???

Avatar... The verdict

I know I'm outdated.
But... Actually it was a little bit on purpose. I'm not really a fan of this kinda movie, very science-fi story. And after seeing the trailer for N times, and even now that I've watched the movie, I still think the Navi characters that they created looks so scary. No wonder Sin Fei thought it's a ghost-horror movie! But yea since everybody is saying, and still saying it's so freaking good, I went for it.
So here comes the verdict.
Honestly, I like the story and the message a lot. I'm quite a 'go-green' earth lover and I really love the way James Cameron used such a unique story to remind people about it. Like my dear said, he must has such good brain to think of such amazing story. I also like the very beautiful graphic in the movie, especially with the plants, as well as the music.
But still, I think the characters are a bit too ugly and scary like you're looking at some ghosts or something. My dear suggested that the action part wasn't good enough. And I also think it's a bit too long and draggy.
To sum it up, both of us think it's worth a watch, it's just not as fantastic as what you guys have been saying. We won't really go crazy and say we are going to watch it the second time lor...

In Taiping...

I was pretty occupied during my last trip home to Taiping. One of the reasons being my cousin sisters are back too and I love hanging out with them a lot, especially when that was a farewell trip for Sin Fei, who is leaving for Perth soon (gosh, I'm jealous!). The other reason being dear is home too, so although he had to spend most of his time with his family, we still managed to meet up for a few days lar. And of course, it was also fun catching up with XT and KK! Can't wait for our annual gathering in CNY!!!
Anywayz, I didn't eat too much this trip, I also don't know why ler. Maybe I'm already aware that I have to stop eating so much or the eating mood was just off. I had pictures of two meals I had in Taiping and here they are...

The Home Alone Fried Noodles
The day after I reached Taiping, mum and dad came to KL to pick up the car that my mum won through a lottery(I'm not kidding you, I'M SO FREAKIN' SERIOUS!).
So Vivian and I were left home alone. And because I'm still very useless I can't drive, we had to settle our lunch at home. I basically just grab anything I could get from my mum's fridge and fried the noodles good enough for both of us to have a nutritious and yummy lunch!The stuff I used for my yummilicious noodles~!
Vivian was the assistant chef, helping me to boil the noodles, bring stuff to me, and finally clean the dishes!
I put in some salt, sesame oil and pepper to taste, and ta da... Very colourful somemore~!
Thumbs-up even before trying the noodles... :p

The Farewell Dinner
It was supposed to be a treat by Sin Fei who is flying off to Perth with her fiancee soon. In stead of some restaurants in Taiping, we had our farewell dinner at Da Gu(my aunt, dad's sis)'s house. You know lar, she always love cooking.Introducing, chef of the day...
This time, we've decided that the kids should sit here at the main table since we are no longer kids! :p
Special order from outside, BBQ duck! Yum~!
The Assam Prawn I think... Only had one, I'm always lazy to eat prawn with shell on it.
Soup of the day... White carrot soup. My aunt's version was without any pepper though.
Spicy and sour Chicken, with pineapple.
Very cheap and simple dish... But definitely one of my favourite dishes cos I love tauge!
The healthy dish... Capsicum with snow fungus and some yong tau fu. Not too bad!
The sinful dish... Dark soya sauce pork~! This is sooooo good~!
To me, this is the main dish... Very yummy curry fish!!!
This is better than any other random restaurant!!!
That's about the most sumptuous meal I had this trip. Need to hit the gym very soon to wash off the fatssssssssssssssssssssss...

Bonus Pic 1:The night we had our pillow talk till about 2am... Lotsa crap on boys, relationships, and our funny parents! LOL!

Bonus Pic 2:Taiping is becoming very interesting nowadays... But the name of the pub(yea, although they like to call themselves 'cafe') couldn't be any worst than this one I think...==|||

A belated HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We had our first ever New Year together in Taiping, our hometown!
Sorry guys, have been pretty busy this time around in Taiping that I have no time to even get on-line!
So yes, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my dearest family members, friends, and readers whom I might or might not know~! All the best in 2010!!!
I'm normally very excited about the review of the previous year and the new year resolution post. But this year since I'm already late, let's make a short one.

Here's my New Year post last year. Let's see how many of the stuff that I've actually done...
1. Go to Taiwan (Oh yes, I went! For less than 2 days!)
2. Go to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Hong Kong (Checked! I went! I went!)
3. Get down to 50kg (Urm, I actually put on weight...==|||)
4. Earn LOTS of money (Well I earn more money, that's for sure, but I spent more too I think.)
5. Save LOTS of money (Yea, fortunately I think I did save a little more)
6. Sponsor a child (Not done yet)
7. Re-study my Japanese (I studied Korean in stead. An Nyeong Ha Se yeo~!)
8. Get back to the wheels (Ah... No I didn't :( )
9. Indirectly, to get a bf (Checked! :D)

I think I had a pretty normal year, in general and career wise, no change at all although I keep complaining about my boring job almost everyday. I'm really glad that I've traveled to Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and they were all really some cool and enjoyable trips! :)
I guess the climax came in October when I bumped into CL at Sunway Pyramid. We had lost contact for about 9 years and then all of a sudden we just fell in love, yes, VERY MUCH IN LOVE! So there you go~ A great year with a bf! What is there to complain about 2009 when I have that kinda love and care I'd never had before from a guy? Love you, my dear! :)

To make it short, here's a list of stuff I wish to do in 2010:
More:
1. Love (not only for my dear lar, to my family too)
2. Money (Money is never enough, isn't it?)
3. Travelling (Taiwan and Perth are in the plan right now, maybe more?)
4. Good health (Having back pain problem is killing me! And I hope everyone around me has good health too)
5. Courage (to get back to the wheels, maybe?)

Less
1. BODY FAT!!!
(Can't think of any other stuff, LOL!)

Heading back to KL later, with my dear... With his Mama and Yi Po... ==|||

Till then, HAPPY NEW YEAR once again!
