Pure joy of happiness

I'm so happy that words just can't describe!! Haha You know those kind of achievement happiness that makes you feel proud of yourself kind?? haha Told you it can't be describe!!

I know I know I will probably jinx it and something will make me unhappy tomorrow but I just feel like making myself feel proud of myself la.... =P once in a while k!!

Know why I'm so happy?? haha In the beginning of the year, I was assigned a project. My project is also to get the 7 other departments in my division to start the project in their department too... So I have to create the awareness and coach the team leaders of each department individually plus lead and guide them in the project. (Not like I am so expert in it but in front of them I have to pretend that I am la!!) I must admit it wasn't easy at first as getting everyone to co-operate is quite difficult but I have to try ways to influence them! Finally everyone is running the project on their own and I organized a mini convention to celebrate the success of the project and also have a knowledge sharing session where all the departments actually share their experience in running the project with each other! The convention is actually my boss's idea but I organized the whole thing myself and coach the departments on their presentations and motivate them!! The convention is today and I would say it went pretty smooth and towards the end of the convention, my boss surprise me with a token of appreciation and praise my work in front of everyone!! Made me feel soooooooooooo happy and proud at the same time!! Eh its not easy to get praises from my boss one ok!! Her expectations are quite high!! So this made me really happy!! YES like smiling like an idiot kinda happy when she said all the things she said and bought me this pretty pink flowers as a token of appreciation and get our COO to present it to me!! =DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD It was really a pleasant surprise =)





Then right after the convention, I rushed off to Pyramid for the KSS Sunway Carnival Pool & Snooker Competition. Remember I took part in it last year as well and my team got 2nd place?? Today, it was realllly a close fight!! Each team consist of 5 men snooker singles and 2 women pool singles. Your team needs to win 5 sets to win the round! For the quarter finals I won a set and the men won 3 sets so we managed to go into the finals and our opponent is last year's champion!! The two of us women won for pool (hehe I won all the games!! Don't even need to play the rubber set!! =P) BUT!!!!! the guys lost three sets!! So we were thinking our chances are really slim!! Actually we weren't confident in winning because our opponent's snooker team is really strong!! They even have one player that was ranked in don't know the malaysia or asia snooker ranking!! However our snooker team managed to win one game so the last game was really exciting and we finally won!!!!!!!!!!!! We are the champions!!!!!!!!!!! yeay!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooo happy cause I loveyyyyyyyy the trophy this time round!! haha Last year's was just a medal but this year's one is really nice and I was hoping we could win so that I can bring that home!! haha Was jumping in joy when we really won!!



My team, the Red Team - posing before the competition!



YEAY!!!!! We won!!! =DDDDDDDDDDD

This is the trophy!! All of us get to take one home =) It doesn't look that nice in the picture cause I just simply took a picture of it just now.... anyway.... I'm really happy today!! Was smiling the whole way while driving home =D It's been a while I felt this way... Pure joy of happiness =)

How Could I?

I can't believe it man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How could I forget my anniversary!!!!!!! =(((((((((((((((((((((
Am I getting old or what?????? =(((((((((((((((((((
Worse is Honeydrew also didn't remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =((((((((((((((((((((((((

I knew the date but on that day itself, I totally forgotten the significance of that day!!
Usually I will be waiting for him to call me to wish me and if he doesn't call I'll make a big fuss about it!!! =D BUT BUT BUT I totally forgotten bout it until today which is like 10 days later!!!!!!!!!!!! *Missed a good opportunity to be drama queen!!*

How could I??

Before I went for my holiday I even reminded him that our anniversary is near and let's celebrate it during the trip since I knew we won't be together (physically) on the day itself..... But end up on the day itself I totally forgot about it!! I really can't believe it that I could forget lor......

Anyway, good thing was we did had our "celebration" in Prague (2 weeks before our anniversary date!)




Honeydrew researched and found this restaurant. Its supposedly famous for its duck and apple strudel.... food was not bad but the restaurant was quite empty!! But that doesn't matter la.... just imagine that he "pao" the whole restaurant for me la.... MUAHAHAHAHA *dream!* But if he really do that I will definitely scold him teruk teruk lor!! waste money!! =P



ANYWAY,

MUACKSSSSS!!!!!
HAPPY BELATED 4th YEAR ANNIVERSARY
MY DEAR...



p/s: I also forgot that yesterday was Oreo boy's birthday!!!!! I'm such a lousy mummy!!!! =(((((((( He is 3 years old already!!!!! Time really flies........ =((((((((

Call Me Back!!

I know, I know I've promised to blog and post up photos of my hols...
BUT, I'm just too busy lazy!! haha
I'll still do it I promise.... hehe

On a non related note, does it make you happy when someone calls you back after you slam down the phone?Haha you must be wondering why would you slam down the phone!! Don't tell me it never happened before?? I don't know.... Sometimes, I just have the urge to slam down the phone when I am having a heated conversation.... (not all the time la only some times!!) or probably I simply just wanna throw tantrum or I just want to win the argument.... Slamming down the phone not because I have got nothing to say...... but probably also because I want to have the final say..... Or it may not be slamming down the phone but just ending a conversation feeling unhappy.... like saying an angry Bye and hang up kind....

I always expect the person at the other end to call me back.... and it just makes me really happy / relief whenever the other person calls back!!

It makes me even happier when the person calls back when I am not expecting that they will call back at all!!!!! =D So yes, you made me happy today..... although I didn't slam down the phone this time =P But I thought you thought I did!! HAHA

Anyway... this is my current desktop wallpaper =) Taken with the London Eye
I love the blue sky with puffy white clouds!! It's so rare to have such nice weather cause its always cloudy, gloomy or raining while I was there!! And so ngam the whole road got no cars one at that time!!


My sis is doing this outfit of the day thingy and I think its cool!! Cause it gives you fashion ideas and also where to shop!!

So my outfit for that day:
White tee with colourful hearts @ Terranova (Bought in Prague)
Denim mini skirt @ Zara MNG(curi from shan)
Tivoli GM bag @ Louis Vuitton
White with pink cap @ Hard Rock Cafe, Prague
White with pink stripe scarf @ Tchiboo (Bought in Frankfurt)
Cris-cross black stockings @ ?? (curi from shan also!!)
Black knee length boots @ Sg Wang (super cheap!! 70% discount!! and I wore it almost the whole trip and its really comfy!! so super worth it lor.... and I didn't even bring it back with me haha cause my suitcase is soooo overweight.... so I just left it with my sis and ask her to throw it if no one can bring it back.... but luckily my mimi brought it back for me lor.....)


if you are wondering why most of the stuff are either new or not mine then cause its the day before i'm going home!! so most of the stuff i brought there also worn already!! eh damn wasted la.... why nothing from my e-shop one!! good opportunity to advertise maaaaaaaa =P

I'm fine!!

I've got no Swine Flu ok!! Please don't be scared of me!!
haha =P

News travel really fast!! The next day when I was back at work almost anyone whom I seldom see of liaise with in the office but bumped into me on the hall way or in the lift asked me how am I!! And I thought Staff Health is P&C between the doctor and me!! *ish*

But thanks to everyone who cared....


Thanks to those who had dinner with me for the past few days too!! Tuesday I had dinner with my dad, Wednesday with Val, Thursday with GY, Friday with Elisa & Thomas. Then aunty joined us later and we played gin too!! We haven't been playing together for such a looooong time!! According to elisa its almost a year!! Miss the good old days!! Tonight will be dinner with aunty, chirstine and bb ethan!! *happy i don't have to eat alone!!* I really hate eating alone!! =( And one thing I've yet to do is watch movie in the cinema alone!! I rather don't watch or buy the dvd to watch at home!! But GY and YL said that they have watched movies alone many many times and don't mind!! *huh*


Anyway, I've been trying to sort out my europe photos whenever I'm free.... Still have not completed everything yet. I've just finished sorting out amsterdam's photos and will blog bout it very soon..... Here's a teaser to Keukenhof, Holland that we have spent one full day in while in amsterdam - the most beautiful tulip garden I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got flu, I hope its not Swine!

Was alright yesterday but this morning I was a bit sneezy and ended up with a bit of a blocked nose. Went to office and saw lotsa lotsa warning emails bout Swine Flu. Then I sneezed in the office and my colleague asked me to better visit the Staff Health doctor. And I got one day MC cause doctor was scared that I carry any swine virus with me! He even said I should be isolated!! =S Good thing was I didn't have any fever, if I do, I was told to go to the A&E immediately!

So I've got a day to laze around at home. I feel fine, but at the same time am scared that I really do have Swine virus in me as I did came back from UK, Germany and Netherlands and they are all classified as Swine infected areas! I also don't wanna be accused of the person who brought Swine to Malaysia!! So better just stay at home today!! =P

Besides that, getting an MC today is sort of a good thing cause I've actually got jet lag =(((((((((( *Though I feel quite pai seh cause I just only came back to work!!* Couldn't sleep yesterday night!! =(((((((((((( Went to bed bout 12.30am and couldn't sleep til 4am and when I finally dozed off, its time to wake up for work!!!! =(((((((((((


Oh and guess what I did today?? I just booked myself a trip to Bangkok!! =D It's gonna be my 3rd time in Bangkok but I'm looking forward to it!! That will be my next holiday!! so yeay!! But it's only in August!! Will be going with my uni mates =) Kinda like a girly trip before HF's wedding..... At the same time stock up some nice and cheap stuff for my e-shop which is currently on a hiatus now =P


Life is much sweeter when you have holidays to look forward to =)


Oh and after all the yummilicious extravagant food I had during my holiday, this is what I had for dinner today....

Ibumee Har Mee with meat balls and hard boiled egg!! But its quite nice lor.... I finished everything including all the soup!! =P



Since mimi is not around I have to kao tim dinner myself.... so dear friends, if you love me, please ask me out for dinner these two weeks yah!! Pretty pleaseeeeeeeee......

Back to reality



Yup, yup I'm back....


There's an end to everything
Now, its the end of my 16 days of holiday break!
Bye bye cold weather, scarfs, boots and jackets...
Hello waking up early, work, work and work...

Today, I left honeydrew, mimi and shan to come home.
Some how I feel that I don't wanna be the one leaving and wish that I was the one left behind!
Contrary to my previous post!

Coming home alone on a 12 hour plane ride, reminds me of the times when I was still studying in Bristol. Being able to come home during holidays is one of the things I really look forward to.

But this time, I left with a heavy heart.... I don't remember feeling like this even when I left UK for good after studying there for 3 years!
Some how, this time it felt much more difficult!

So i guess, its not the place that I miss but the people around me that I had for the past 16 days I'll be mimi-less for 2 weeks, honeydrew-less for 5 looooong months!


Some how, this holiday doesn't make me feel tired or burn out as some of the other holidays does! (Or maybe its due to jetlag). Though in the begining it was a bit hectic but still not too bad but towards the end of the holiday the pace slow down. The carefree feeling of just relaxing and enjoying as the time passes by and not having to wake up early during holiday is very important! I also didn't even research anything for the trip. Everything seems to be taken care of! HAHA Thanks to yun yun for planning the enjoyable amsterdam and blackforest trip, honeydrew for the wonderful prague trip and shan for planning where to bring me for good food in london!


Anyway, I've got lotsa lotsa photos to share and I need some time to sort it out....
I wish I have stayed longer in London cause I didn't have enough time to shop!! =( *my mimi blame it on me for not wanting to wake up early!! and I blame it on honeydrew for wanting to do some sight seeing!!*
The time when I had more time to shop was in Prague but their price tags also have the price of the item in euros and pounds!! So when I did some simple calculation it seems that buying the same item in euros and pounds is much cheaper than in czech koruna. So I decided to shop in London instead since they have the same brands!

With the pounds exchange rate much lower compared to the time when I went to visit 5 years ago, shopping in London is much more affordable! =P
However, sadly I only manage to buy stuff from H&M as I didn't have much time to go to the other shops!! I think I bought more stuff for cindy's unborn baby boy than myself!! The baby stuff are so cute!!

I wish I had planned out more shopping time in London =P



Oh and guess what I had when I went back to London from Prague!! *haha*
I just wrote on my blog that I missed jap food and ended up coincidentally this is what I had for dinner!! I think its a little miracle!!



Ok, back to work tomorrow!

Ello from Praha!!

ello.... ello....
I'm in Prague now ;)
Have been wanting to visit Prague for a looooong time
And now, I'm finally here!!
It's really a beautiful city...
But I'm leaving tomorrow back to London =(

Looking forward to chinese food in London!!
Have been eating WAY TOO MUCH meat (especially pork!!) the past 10 days!!

I really need to start exercising and go on a diet when i'm back!!
One thing I miss bout Malaysia is Jap food!! haha

Anyway, here's a photo of me & honeydrew in The World of Heineken in Amsterdam.


I only have this photo that is an appropriate size to upload to blogger....
Cause all the photos taken from Honeydrew's camera are 12 M Pixels and I don't have the program to resize it now! I've got lotsaaaaa photos to share! Stay tune =P

Oh and if you wanna watch a stupid video of me and honeydrew you can click *here* Try singing along with the words above ala karaoke style!! HAHA

Oh My Food!

A lot people have asked me, why do I take photos of food before I eat? What do I do with the photos of the food that I took?

I was browsing through my photos and realised that I did not post up a lot of the food photos that I have taken... Hence I've decided to post them up.... some of it are quite a while back!! haha you know la my blog is very ketinggalan zaman one.....


Anyway here are loads of food photos of restaurants that I have not blogged about....
It made me really hungry while I was editing the photos the other day.... so hungry that I have to go cook maggie!! =P Really one............


DIM SUM @ XIN CUISINE RESTAURANT, CONCORDE HOTEL

We usually go for dim sum @ Imbi Palace, but we went to Xin the other day and I think it is one of the best dim sum place in KL!! Their dim sums really got quality one lor....
Btw, unlike most chinese restaurants in hotels, Xin is non-halal so you can have real pork dim sum there!! =)

Mimi, Yun & I

They even have classical chinese music for entertainment!









Yummy Yummy Dim Sums!!


***



FLYING CHILIS @ THE GARDENS

I think its one of the better thai restaurants in the group. Their pandan chicken is simply THE BEST!!!!! Meat is tender, juicy and full of flavour!! YUMZ!!!!













Yummy Yummy Thai food


***



THE ELEPHANT @ HAPPY MANSION

Oh and another Thai place that I wanna introduce is The Elephant!! Its jointly opened by four guys and a few of them are thai!! Their food are quite good and price is quite reasonable as well!! They are famous for their YUM MA MA Salad! Apparently according to Val, they used to sell the yum ma ma together with some other thai food at the Mt Kiara food bazaar on Thursday nights before they started this restaurant





Hair is still curly cause this is some time ago!! haha









Yummy Yummy Thai Food


***



PASTA ZANMAI @ ONE UTAMA

After blogging about chuka zanmai (apparently its close down already) and also its sister restaurant, which is one of the best place to have cheap but good jap food - Sushi Zanmai, its only fair that I must mention about Pasta Zanmai as well! Went there quite a while ago! Food is not bad if you like oriental pasta! haha (Oh and another jap pasta restaurant I tried the other day is Pasta de Gohan in Sunway Pyramid!! No photos cause I went with my mentor and I pai seh to take photo!! Anyway they have lotsa choices of pastas and pizzas and its really quite good!! Go try!) Back to Pasta Zanmai....




You will need to grind your own black sesame to sprinkle on top of your pasta! And it does make it taste better!

DUCK KING @ JAYA ONE

Jaya One is one of the new dining area in PJ, lotsa restaurants choices to choose from....
First up is Duck King... The name itself you know that you must order duck when you are there!! =P I must say their duck was not bad... We actually tried both the normal roast duck and also the crispy skin duck. I think the roast duck was quite good but val claims that the Four Season at Cap Square is better!! Have yet to try that though!! But GY said that the London's Four Season's duck is still way better than the KL one but its consider good for KL standards!! haha So I'll definitely go to the KL Four Season one day but I am super excited that I will be going to the London one end of this month!!! I miss it soooo much!!!! The last time I had was like 2005!!!!!!! Can't wait, can't wait!! You know I love roast duck right?? and I super love roast duck drumstick + thigh!! Me & my bro always fight for it.... Luckily each duck got two legs!! =P I ordered roast duck almost every day during my last HK holiday cause HK roast duck is super yummy!!
Anyway I think the food in Duck King is quite good =) But a bit pricey though...





















xxx



FIREMAN RESTAURANT @ JAYA ONE

HHHmmm.... I think this place is so so only.... What spoilt everything was the mosquito under our table!!!!!!!!!!!! Its an air conditioned restaurant ok!! Their appetizers are nicer than the steamboat aka bbq thingy.... The beef are sliced too thick and a bit tough!!













They have fire performance


xxx



THE CUBES @ JAYA ONE

The Cubes is a London Chinese Cuisine restaurant. I was wondering what is London Chinese Cuisine?? Anyway they are known for the Peking Duck that not a lot of places have it here but is commonly found in London Chinese Restaurants!! haha And the one in The Cubes is not bad!! Notice the difference between this and the one in duck king?? Though both are eaten wrapped with the popiah skin thingy, but this one you actually eat the meat as well while the crispy duck in duck king, you eat the skin with the popiah thingy and they will cook the duck meat into another dish of your choice!

DAMANSARA VILLAGE STEAMBOAT @ DAMANSARA?

If you don't already know, the owner is Patrick Teoh....




They have 2 types of soup. one is the normal clear soup and another one is the herbal soup! We opt for the herbal one cause YL say its VERYYYY nice.... but I think the herbal taste is just a bit too strong and they add in chinese wine and a lot of dunno what stuff in it as well.... but after that it tasted ok cause when they add soup, they will add the normal soup for you.... so it kinda dilute the strong herbal taste to a nice acceptable herbal taste! haha




Here's the benefit of that herbal soup!

Todi with guiness!




The restaurant is famous for their live prawns! Its a must have if you eat there! Cause the prawns are just soooooooo deliciouly sweet and fresh! You can actually see the waiter climb up to the podium of aquariums and use a plate to scoop the prawns and place it on your table! The prawns are basically still jumping on the plate when it is served and you are to pour it into your steamboat and look at how the prawns are swiming in the hot pot!! Its kinda cruel if you think of it but its really delicious lor =(










xxx



DAORAE KOREAN BBQ RESTAURANT @ SRI HARTAMAS

I think the food is ok only but don't know why a lot of people say its good! haha I still think the best place for korean food is Maehwa Maul at Plaza Mt Kiara but I wont be talking bout that one cause I've blogged bout it a few times already! haha Its my fav korean place =) Anyway, Daorae has more bbq varieties compared to Maehwa la.....
















xxx



BON-GA KOREAN BBQ @ SOLARIS

Went to another BBQ place which is not bad as well (but still prefers Maehwa haha!) Solaris is another dining place with lotsa food choices! Bon-Ga is really not bad, but we ordered so much that we just couldn't finish everything.... Some more this GY was telling us stories bout him and the things he does to "catch" ghost!! haha
















Busy telling ghost stories!


xxx



DING TAI FENG @ THE GARDENS

Remember I blogged about Ding Tai Feng in my Taiwan post? *here* Anyway if you don't already know, they have a branch in KL.... The food is alright but I think its not as good as the one we had in Taiwan..... especially Honeydrew's legendary chicken soup!! Its not even close to what we had! haha





















xxx



MAD ABOUT PIZZA @ SUNWAY DAMANSARA

Last but not the least, I wanna intro this cozy little place hidden in the dataran sunway damansara! The food is good and the price is even better!! Realllllllly worth it lor.... YL always say must go there eat more often cause he scared that they will close down because they are not making money with the price they are charging! And you know what, YL also said that you will get 20% discounts if you wear a football jersy there on a Sunday or something!! (Erm I'm not too sure bout this though,... do check it out with the owner though, she's really nice!) haha
you can check out their website for the menu too.... (click on the photo below to view it)















The biggest piece of Oreo cheesecake that I have seen served in any restaurants and its only bout RM6 or what.... I think!! And to add to that, its really good!!!!!!!!!!! Just like the one I bake!! =P MUAHAHAHAHA cause the cheese is really thick!! (I don't like those flour cheesecakes!)
