food, food and food........

Sorry Slerk and Chris... I know I'd let you guys down.. So I've decided to conclude all my monthly entries in here :)

First of all, I think I'll go straight to year 2008.. during cny, me and karl's family went to Hanoi (no pics as usual).. well, it was quite an experience as most of the time when we go for vacation we usually opt for places like Hong Kong, Singapore or some other developed countries and after those trips you will compare how efficient those countries are.. or how clean and civilized the citizen over there.. or how organized their goverment.. compared to ours(I totally agree though :) hehe).. but after going to Hanoi.. I'm actually felt so thankful and blessed that I'm from Malaysia :) I'm not saying Hanoi is bad but is just that they are not as develope as us.. you can see the people there are quite poor but of course there are rich people as well... but majority of them are so poor.. Other than that, the food there are quite simple.. Those we had here like vietnam kitchen.. I think it's considered as 5* luxury hotel standard food compared to the actual food there.. hehehe as usual food is my priority... scenary at Halong Bay was superb! But if you were to drive in Vietnam.. be prepare!!! The most important gadget is the honk.. everybody just honk at everybody and anything.. So you can actually imagine the livelihood of the city.. hehehe Anyone adventures should visit Hanoi.. it's worth it.. I learn to appreciate the things I have more.. kekekeke

My close friend WeeWee left to Sydney last month.. I was kinda sad coz she will be going there permanantly and I don't get to see her before she left.. :( She is one of my close friends since form 6 and thanks to her (for forcing me to do my homework and go for tuition classes) I'm now doing what I'm doing now.. sometimes, we tend to overlook many things and when they are not around, then you will starts to regret and keep questioning yourself "why didn't I....." when you know that it's too late.. As you grow older, the number of commitments tends to increase as well..Excuses like "I'm too busy", or "Maybe next time", or "I'm tired because of workload/OT" becomes a norm just to get away from invites... Anyway..don't wanna dwell on it anymore..

Come back to the happy stuff... :) Last week were good food week!! Hehehe.. In the last few days i'd been eating so much good food with my family and friends. Last thursday, we(liz, slerk and W) went to the curve and we ate at a german restaurant. We had a plate of delicious roast pork knuckles and a plate of sausages :) The place is abit pricy though and luckily we don't have to pay muakakakaka.. The next day, my ex-students treated me lunch for my birthday.. It's a very nice place in Section 17, Happy Mansion serving Thai food. And the name of the restaurant is kinda cute too.. it's called "My Elephant".. The food there were delicious and quite spicy and the presentation of the food is nice.. :)

For saturday dinner, we(with my family) had dinner at Shogun 1 utama. Mum always wanted to have buffet so since her birthday soon so decided to treat her :) They actually increased the price already(or i'm not up to date).. As i remembered, the last time i had Shogun, it was rm48++ per pax and now they are charging rm55++.. but the food quality is much better compared to the last time i had it.. Karl prefers Shogun than Jogoya as in Shogun more choices of sushi.. anyway, everyone enjoyed the dinner especially Nick!! He took 5 bowl of soba!! Sunday, me an karl went to ikea to get some stuff and we had lunch at dragon-i with Sbee, Hkuen and baby Nat.. Somehow, i still prefer to order their fried rice compared to their noodles.. but overall, it's quite okay but i think the one in mid-valley is better in terms of taste.. or the restaurant located below dragon-i in the curve also not bad.. hehehe.. Dinner on sunday, me and karl went to our favourite restaurant that serves crab.. they have the freshest crab in town at resonable price.. We ordered 2 crabs and a plate of singapore fried bee hoon.. and for those food lovers out there.. it's worth it to travel all the way there..(it's located in Sg. Buloh, Bukit Rahman Putra).. The flesh of the crab will just slides out easily and you can still taste the freshness of the crab.. :)

Monday, me, liz and mc went to food foundry, section 17 to have lunch.. the original plan was to bring them to "My Elephant" but it was closed, so we proceed to food foundry.. i had fish and chips while liz took a cabonara pasta and mc ordered their nasi lemak.. On tuesday.. the gang(liz, phavz, mc, slerk, mok and esy) gang up to give me and aeroplane a surprise lunch party.. and a surprise guest.. Kong joined too.. she came back from singapore.. the lunch was superb and the cake(thanks to liz) was so special.. Thanks alot guys! really enjoyed it very much(but i think aeroplane enjoyed it even much more!!! muakakaka).. wonder how much weight i'd gain just for these few days.. so i had decided that next week, i will try to skip dinner hehehehe(hopefully i have the dicipline to do it)..

Oh ya.. i have a new member in my family now.. so it will be karl, me and baby koko(10 weeks now).. We had her last sunday.. got it from ikano.. at the moment she is quite adorable at times but kinda noisy when being left alone.. hehehe so now we are kinda in a dilemma when it comes to sleeping time.. we left her in the hall but she cried the whole night.. any experts aroud to advise? Gary told me he put his in his bedroom but my koko can't sleep in air-cond room yet.. hmm.. guess we will have more sleepless nights to come.. hope my neighbours won't complain.. she's just a baby.. Anyway, if i can't even take care of her, then it will only be me and karl in future.. :)

adios! busy day ahead... happy reading..
