Happy B'Day

Weekend was filled with food session again cause 2 poh and 2 kong came to KL to visit their children. They wanted to have the barbequed pork at Jalan Tung Shin but when we reached there, they were not open for business on that day. Maybe it's because the next day is Mooncake Festival. Dissapointed, we went to another restaurant at Pudu for.....

Roast duck and goose. We had roast goose that time. The first time I had roast goose was at Hong Kong and it was really really good. I still prefer the one in Hong Kong. Hehe. But this restaurant is really famous. A few newspaper had featured this restaurant in the news before. Hehe. The roast goose was really nice, just too much fat. Hehe.

On the next day, we went to Overseas Restaurant for dinner with William and his kai ma. It was her birthday celebration. Food was okay. The good thing was the food was served while it is still freaking hot. Good job. Haha. No pictures because William took pictures that night. Will wait for him to upload. Haha. Lazy me :p

Monday was the most tiring day of my life. In the evening, I have to go send mummy from her office to Plaza Damas for her massage appointment. Then it was 1 hour jam from Sri Hartamas till home. So boring sitting in the car. Luckily I brought Baby along and she entertained me a bit in the car. Hehe. Sayang Baby.

When I reached home, it was already 7.30. I rushed up to change and go out again. Fetch Ken and straight "fly" to Semenyih. Was in a hurry that night for...

Kitt-y's birthday surprise!!! Well not a surprise cause he found out when he picked up Lauren's call. Aihh... but it was fun. It was initially a house warming party for him and his friends but I suggested to celebrate his birthday together cause there will be more friends on that day. Ken-y brought me to this place that sells really pretty cupcakes. Hehe.


You can choose the design, size of the cupcakes and wordings that you want to put in. It's really pretty. Had a tough time choosing the design and ended up with this. Apple, trees and love :) *shy*. Hope that he likes it. Had 1 cupcake before I leave and it was really good. Way better than my expectation :p

Rushed home again to study because the next day in Nuclear Medicine paper. Studied and sleep and study and sleep and study and sleep and study the whole night. I was really tired till it's difficult to keep my eyes open the entire night. This morning, woke up early and drove to uni. Still have some time for quick review of the notes while Sai Weng....
Sleep just right beside me. So envy that he can sleep. So I "decorated" him with my driving companion found in the car. Haha. Cute right? Boi boi looks like as he was kissing Sai Weng. HAHAHAHA!!!

It's the fasting month for the Malays. Sometimes, it really freaks me out when suddenly in the middle of the night you can smell food. SCARY!!!!

Got to go now. Have to start Virology.

Cutest fruit and pretty-for-the-eye-but-not-tasty food~~

Hehe. These are the two photos of Merdeka eve that I forgot to post up the other day. Must post up because....


I have to show all of you the fish that I always eat at my current favourite Thai restaurant in Hulu Langat. It's grilled with a thick layer of salt on the outside and they did not remove the scales. No worries, they still clean the fish before they cook it. They even stuff some leaf thing into the stomach which made the flesh near the stomach area really nice. Even though the outer skin is covered with salt, the flesh are not salty at all. Instead it's sweet due to it's freshness. After the fish was grilled, the whole layer of skin can be removed just like that because it's already very hard. Went there again last week and noticed that the prices for the food are more expensive edi :(



The KL night view captured from Mervyn's house. His house is like the Look Out Point. Haha. Me and Kitt-y went there to watch the fireworks on Merdeka eve. Initially we wanted to go Look Out Point but then when we pass by at 9 something, the cars are all parked till the road side. Hence, we just go there for dinner. Though of going to Bukit Permai. Both of us were ready to be "halau" by the police but surprisingly on the way up, no police car on sight. The road was quite empty. We thought of going further to make a 3 point turn and park at the road side. As we were heading towards the place, suddenly a few police cars showed up and a few policemen were writing summons to the car parked there. The scary thing is there were people sitting inside the car. Luckily we didn't stopped there that night, or else we will be given a summon too. So we went to Mervyn's house. Haha.


On merdeka day, mum went to Hatyai with her friends for holiday. She brought a lot of things from Hatyai. All food. Haha. One of them is this......

Mini pineapple. Haha. It's really cute. They cut off all the skin and put inside clear plastic bag. Mom managed to bring 1kg home because these mini pineapples are selling like hot cakes in Thailand. I'm not a big fan of pineapple so I gave it to Kitt-y. According to Kitt-y, it tastes just like normal sized pineapple but a bit sweeter. If you visit Thailand, do look for these pineapples. They are so cute :p


This is an important lock. It is used to...

... lock what is mine :p Hahahaha...


Had my Pharmacology paper yesterday. No comment about it but I think I did okay. Initially wanted to go home and sleep. When I reached Kitt-y's house, his bro asked me if I want to go Mid Valley with him cause he needed to buy some art stuff. Since I wanted to go shopping and not feeling sleepy (of course... shopping in a miracle word), I said "let's go". Haha. I don't have to drive anyway. Just sit in the car and relax. Easy job. When we reached, both of us went for lunch first. No energy how to walk. I didn't take breakfast that day. I suggested this restaurant located just opposite Sushi Zanmai in The Gardens. Everytime I passed by or wanted to eat in that restaurant, there will be this long queue. Usually end up eating something else because I don't really like to queue up. Ken-y wanted to try the restaurant too. When we reached there, there was no cue. Maybe it's because weekdays and lunch time has ended :p



Out drinks and Ken-y holding the receipt. Left is Ken-y's Oolong Milk Tea and right will be my Watermelon Milk. Both of us preferred our own drink and think that the other drink is not nice. Haha. In their drink menu, everything is related to tea or milk.

Ken-y's food. Looks nice. But the chicken has a weird taste. He initially wanted beef noodle and asked my opinion. I said the beef noodle don't look nice but this chicken meal looks nicer on the menu. So he said okay and ordered this. It's a huge disappointment because the chicken's gravy tasted really weird. Will not order this again. May look nice but don't really like the taste.


This is my meal. Seafood something. I thought everything will be seafood but the dish on the right is actually pork meat. Taste okay. The mini steamboat was just okay. My prawns were not fresh. Few clams, crabsticks, crab, toufu, vegetables and a meat ball. In my opinion, the soup taste like Miso soup. Hehe. Both of us were not really satisfied with out food there especially Ken-y. He said that his chicken tasted really weird that he felt like throwing up. Aww... poor Ken-y. I may visit the restaurant again soon but will order different dishes. If it still taste weird, then I will not visit this restaurant again. May I add that it's not cheap eating there. I am only willing to pay if the food is really good.

2 more papers to go. I'm so excited about next Friday where I can meet all my galz. Miss them so so so much. More gossips to share with them. Will overnight at MY's house that night. More "chor d" and water drinking session. Haha.

~BuHBaI~

Mini me and Kitt-y with Baby lookalike behind. Cute? Hahaha.

Fishing .... again :p

chika chika: Yes. Jom makan. You belanja :P
William: Yeah lor. Korean food got a lot of side dishes one. Only half are nice ( in my opinion ). Haha.
Rachel: That is the first time of me drinking ginseng soup Korean style so I don't know got rice. Will ask them not to put it next time. Oh really? Which one? Okay. Go together next time then :p
Darren: Ohhh... ic ic. I thought it's a bar. Haha.
Waileng: I thought u say want porridge steamboat? Since she loves porridge. Korean also can but might be quite expensive la. Depends on what you order. I'm fine with both. Ask opinion from others bah :p




My second fishing trip, which was long long time ago, was way better than the first fishing trip. Caught a lot of fishes :p Happy happy!!! Some funny thing happened too!!!


First fish of the day was by Chung Siew. See.... the fish is trying to escape and in a panic state. Haha.


Tadaa.. out from the water, take photo and released back into the water.... all done in a flash to ensure that the fish won't die. Haha.



A grasshopper landed on my jeans. Haha. Seriously, I don't know that grasshopper can fly. I thought they can only hop, from the name. Haha.


Fishing team for the day consist of me, Kitt-y, Kinn-y, CS, Chai and Mao. All very busy ... waiting for the fish to eat their bait. Haha.


Notice the fishes? Those thinggy on the water surface are actually fishes putting their mouth up on the surface water to ..... I have no idea what is the purpose of doing that. You know why??

Kinn-y went to the opposite send... and caught a small fish. Haha.

See... it's really small :p


Mao "accidently" caught a fish. I used the word accidently because he was rolling his bait back to him cause he thought the bait was gone. Then suddenly, the fish bite the bait and.... taddaaaaa.....



Happy Mao with his fish. Please pay attention to his fishing rod. It's new... and will be mentioned later....

Another fish by .... hmmm no idea. I forgot.

Then the owner of the fishing ponds came over and gave us some tips on how to tie the hook properly, what bait to use and showed one amazing trick where he throw a special hook out and rolled it in. The hook will stick to any part of the fish that it pass by. Hence, you can use that technique to catch any fish.

He used Mao's fishing rod to test it. Mao's fishing rod is just 1 day old. He bought it brand new the day before. I think it's rm 200 or 300 plus. Everyone was watching as the boss throw and roll it in..... Then suddenly... the hook must have hit a big big big fish till the whole rod broke into few portions and flew directly into the pond. What is left is only the thing to roll the string in. Others went straight into the water. Everyone was.... OMG!!! Then the boss say, I don't guarantee one ah, or something like that. Which means that he will not pay for the loss. But then the most expensive part of the rod is the thing to roll the string in. The other part of the fishing rod is around Rm 60 or 70 only. So, it's not that painful but still, a bit painful.

The boss took his fishing rod and try to "catch" other part of the rod back. Suddenly......

Tada....... A big fish was caught. They called it Brabu or.. something like that. Another name will be (a place in Indonesia) Cat fish. Haha...


See... the fish is really big. Kind of scary, if you ask me. Looks like monster....

Everybody take turns to take photo with the fish...


Check out Kitt-y rockstar style. Haha. He's like holding a guitar in a rock concert. Rock on Kitt-y!!


Then it was time to go for the fish... bye bye...




All of these are different fishes caught by ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!! Hehe. Since my fishing rod is the smallest, I can only catch those small fish that is at the side. Name of the fish is 9 Lines (directly translated from Cantonese). All 3 are caught at different time okay. I caught a few more but didn't take photo of them since they are all the same. I think I caught around 7 same fishes that day at different spot and different time. Haha. Quantity winner = ME ME ME ME ME ME. But Quality winner is...... will be announced later. Haha.



They said this is Piranha. You know, the fish that eat meat. Haha. Caught by CS. Take note of those sharp teeth on the side. Scary!!


This, my friend, is the most fishing mistakes that all of us made that day. When we throw our bait out, it will be stuck to the tree. Haha. I thought I'm the only one that be making all these mistakes but everyone did the same thing. I'm not that bad afterall, eh? Hehe.

Okay. The winner of Quality section is.....


Kitt-y. That is the one and only fish he caught that day. You can see from the colour of the photo that it's evening that time. The sun is going down. We reached there at 8 in the morning and Kitt-y first and only fish is at 4 or 5pm. Haha. But I'm happy for him. At least he caught a fish and it's really a big fish. Hehe.

That's the end of my second fishing trip. Promised myself will not go fishing before my exam ends. So sad :(

Today was the first day of exam for us. First paper is Oncology. Not bad.. not too hard and some questions are quite hard. Have no idea what the question is asking and no idea what to answer. But i wrote a lot of thing (except those that ask you list or state) for each questions. Hehe. *pat my self on the back* Good job. Hope that all the following papers, esepcially Pharmacology will be easy. Pray really hard and also study even harder!!! Good luck, ppl.. All the best!!

Korean Food

Canice: Okay. No problem. If you know any "peng, leng, jeng" place, intro to me also la. Hehe. So far the place that I think nice and cheap is the Hulu Langat Thai food but then getting there is a challenge. Hehe.
Mk Tan: Patriotic la. I celebrated Merdekar in a Thai Restaurant IN MALAYSIA!! Hehe. Means despite loving Thai food, will only eat it in Malaysia lor. Or I love Malaysia's Thai restaurant more. Haha.
William: Huh? Why suddenly ask me save money? Buy you more expensive Ipod? Noway. Dream on. I also didn't use one expensive Ipod okay!!!


On the day of Merdeka itself, me and my sis and Andrew went for Korean BBQ for lunch in Ampang. This area is famous for Korean restaurant because a lot of Korean people live there. I heard from Chi Jing that there's a Korean Village there too but I don't know it's exact location. Alexia, my Korean friend, lives there too but I don't have her number, so I didn't call her that day. Anyway, this is my first time to this Korean restaurant. Me and Kitt-y's family visited the one facing the main road. I don't know that behind that row of shops is another row of shops with more Korean Restaurant. Haha. We visited .....


This restaurant. Hehe. Sis has been here for multiple times. She said it's nice and not too expensive.


We ordered pork and squid on hot plate plus chicken ginseng soup. Pork is only for 1 person portion because we're afraid that we cannot finish everything. Hehe.

These are all the side dishes that are refill-able. Some are really good but I really cannot stand the taste and smell of kimchi. So whatever that is red in colour, I did not take. Hehe.



Our pork!!!! It's really good. It was not marinated with anything, just grilled it till it's golden brown. The steel-thingy in the middle is to absorb all the fume from the grilling. But all 3 of us still smelled like BBQ when we left that restaurant. Haha.

This... omg. It's egg with... I have no idea what is inside. I think it's one of the side dishes. It's really really really really good. Yummylicious.


This is my portion of ginseng soup. It is really good too. I think the chicken is a little bit small. Haha. There were rice in the soup too. I prefer the soup without rice though... taste better :p



Ahhh... the meat is cooked. Cut into small pieces. Grilled onion on the side too.

The grilled pork was cooked by a waiter there, so I don't have any chance to play cooking ... AT ALL!!! Wrap the meat with lettuce and add....

these sauces. One is olive oil and salt, the other is raw green chillies and garlic *sniff sniff*. The red paste thinggy, I have no idea what it is but it's not bad. I can still accept it's taste. Haha.

This is our baby squid on hot plate. But the squid don't look like from baby squid becaue the tentacles are quite big. It's quite good too. Hehe.


This is the end of eating session. As you can see, the not-nice side dishes were left untouched and the empty plates with the nice side dishes were stacked up neatly on one side. Haha.

While waiting for digestion, the waiter served us with fruits and this.....

Do you know what is thi???? Take a guess please......

The answer is... barley water. Haha. At first I thought it's for you to wash your hand (kampung betul la me...). But sis said it's barley water for you to drink. I don't believe her at first. Even when she drink it in front of me, I still don't believe her. I take a small sip ... and hmm ... it's really barley water. Can't blame me since they served it in a bowl. Sis said it's their cup for barley water. Haha. So folks, next time people give you similar things in a Korean BBQ Restaurant, it's barley water. But I don't know about other restaurant though. Should be the same for majority of the restaurant. Haha. By the way, the barley water is really nice too. Cold and not too sweet.

See.... more Korean BBQ Restaurant on the same row. Haha. Will try other restaurant next time. Hehe.
Seriously, if you asked me which one is better (I've only tried 3 diff Korean BBQ Restaurant before), I think all are the same since all the meat that we usually ordered were not marinated. So it's really the same for me. BUT..... each Korean BBQ Restaurant has at least 1 really good side dishes. Hehe. All Korean BBQ Restaurant have their own set of side dishes but the most standard one has to be kimchi cabbage. Hehe.

My companion at the back seat of Andrew's car.

After lunch, Andrew said he wanted ice cream so I suggested Haagen Dazs in KLCC. As we got closer to KLCC, me and sis don't feel like going there because the stuff are too expensive for purchase. So we went to Sg Wang instead. We just shopped at the Roof Top area and sis bought a lot ... A LOT of stuff. Haha. I just bought a sling bag that I always wanted. Weee....

That is the end of my happy day. Today is a terible day for me because I've been reading Pharmacology whole day and I don't remember a single thing. HELP ME!!! There are so many drugs name and mechanisms to be memorised. And then, there is Oncology. Aihh..... I hope I can stuff everything into my brain as soon as possible. The most important part is able to take them out during exam to answer all the tough questions. Wish me luck!!!
