Being cautious, saves life!

Dear family and friends, thank you for your care and concern from all those calls and text messages! Appreciate all of it much...Love you all!

...

Here is my advice for those who loves driving while texting, eating, drinking, talking and doing other things, which are not the absolute and utmost important actions to do. PLEASE DON'T.

Please don't my dearest one as it will cost you to be in danger as well as your life. Why? Because I said so...and because I've experienced it just recently.

It's not funny and it's really scary. The after effects will cause you to have shaky hands, empty mind and worst that could happen would be the pain that pierce and destroy you. Alhamdullillah, I did not experience those ugly thoughts except for the empty mind, blurness and shaky hands and legs. However, I managed to overcome it now and thus, my post of the month for you.

Please drive safe from now onwards as life is precious. I'm lucky I'm still here to share with you. Do not take things for granted!! Please...my advice is to be safe.

Drive slow and steady according to the speed limits with both hands on the steering wheels with a clear mind and eyes on the road. No kidding but please do this. I love you and care for you, so don't ignore my advices.

Being cautious, saves life. I love you pa and ma for all those advices and scoldings! Love you so much!!!

My car is now in the workshop, which whipped a cost of RM775.00 and that could prolly cost my life. Alhamdullilah...I'm still here to share and write my blog for you.

Luv Luv!

Pssst Pssst....

It's been awhile since I last pen down and share some delicious posts here. Don't worry, the blog is not forgotten. With my busy schedule, I've been running here and there like a 'walking office'...literally! I'll come back soon...promise.

Meanwhile, do listen to the song while browsing thru my past posts for now.

Stay tune loves!

PLAN B @BV

Nasreen & I visited Plan B @ BV the other night and she told me the flourless choc cake was nice. Seriously, awesome pow to the max! hehe...I loved it!

Plus, leisurely eating it with a cup of green tea made it nicer since the cake was bitter sweet and the tea neutralised my 'jelak-ness'.

@ Plan B, BV

So, noticed anything interesting in this pic??
Yes! The stripes...haha! ;P

THE FAMOUS TANJUNG MALIM PAU
@ R&R ULU BERNAM

So, there was one weekend where I was heading back to Damansara from hometown, I had the chance of stopping by at the R&R Ulu Bernam.

There would be no other reasons to stop there but just to grab some awesome hot, curry beef pau yo!

I was a fan of 'kaya pau' until my family came across this years ago. It was shown on tv a few times introduced through food programes. =)

Do try them @ R&R Uu Bernam, should you head down from Penang/Perak back to KL.

It was so nice that I couldn't help myself but to buy some and shared to a few close friends of mine. Even they enjoyed it much! You can buy them in large bags, consisiting 6-8 pieces of different flavours from the frozen fridge or get them fresh & hot from the oven!

Don't forget that cup of teh tarik or nescafe...hope I don't tempt you all much! XP

Luv Luv!

Cafes...with the letter 'M'

2011-09-17T22:20:00.021+08:00

Awesome news people!!

Now, you get to check out TWO new cafes that opened recently in Bukit Damansara & TTDI. New places to chill and getting your daily fix of caffeines. Like most eateries, they serve coffees/teas/hot chocs/light bites/desserts, but the one thing that makes these 2 more interesting is that both cafes' initial, start with the letter 'M'! Awesome power pawsome!!!

MOLLYDOOKER'S
COFFEE BAR

The owners of this cafe would be Zek, Tsar (Zek's fiancee) & Arab. It is snugly located just opposite Chef & Brew cafe in Bukit Damansara. So, the story behind the unique name...Mollydooker was derived from a game show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'. One of the Qs asked was "What is Mollydooker?", which means left-handed. So, Zek, who lived and studied in Perth, Australia back then, was watching it and that sparked the idea.

The best part of the whole story was, Zek and Arab happened to be lefties themselves. What a coincidence! =)

Arab, Mama, Me, Nana & Zek

If you love cookies like I do, then imagine sinking your teeth into this soft served chocolate cookies with super chunky chocs, made by Etty, is a MUST TRY!

My pick?...definitely the milk chocolate ones.

I suggest you eat it warm for that extra Ooomph!

From left: Johnny, Me, Arab & Zek

If you are on the go, then this would be the place for you to get your cuppa pronto!

MUKHA

So, the story of Mukha was told by Man & Liyana, husband and wife of this cafe. What I understand was that Mukha, was known as a shipping port in Yemen.

To know more, do have a chat with the lovely couple and they'll gladly entertain you about their little eatery.

Located in TTDI, same row as Penang Village restaurant, you'll find this place along Lorong Rahim Kajai. A friend of mine, Hariz, happened to be a cousin to Liyana. ;)

Mocha & Long Black

The loving couple, Man & Liyana

The Bar

Lamb Cutlet

Baked Eggs
Now you see...

Now you don't! Haha..

FYI, Mukha will be having its opening party on Sunday, 18 September 2011 from 4.30 - 7.00pm. So, what are you waiting for? Do head down for free food, drinks and some mingling people! Click for their Facebook details.

So dear friends, let's show our love and support for these upcoming cafes, shall we?? ;)

Luv Luv!

Hi All!! It's been awhile since my last post. Malaysia Day is approaching on the 16 September and I'm glad to say that it will be my off day! Yes, that includes tomorrow too. =D

I'm so sorry for the lack of updates, since I've started the new job, everything for me now is work, work, work! Yup, I'm turning into a workaholic (hopefully, once I've learned and understand my role in this fashion business, then I can be back to normal again).

Hopefully, you guys still reading my blog as I myself, miss posting and sharing with you stuffs. But don't worry, I got some posts to share, but hopefully I can manage my time properly. Even I've been missing in action for my badminton games. Haih...

Miss this space much.

54th Merdeka Day!

2011-08-31T22:43:00.007+08:00

@ Jalan Tun Perak

In conjunction with Malaysia's 54th Independence Day Celebration, I wish to take this opportunity to commemorate this great day with a shot of an old building I took along Jalan Tun Perak. I'm sure it's an old building with its beautiful architecture design and style still remained to remind us of the great memories of yester years. It must have been painted here and there but still I love the colonial look mixed with some chinese or baba nyonya elements of it. What makes it better to post this today is also we are celebrating our Raya celebration together. Now, that's awesome!

Luv Luv!

Please catch Fat Spoon Cafe on In Realty tonight at 9.30pm, exclusively on Astro Awani, channel 501. Have fun!!!

Moving On!

2011-08-24T14:16:00.002+08:00

It's OFFICIAL ladies & gentlemen! Today, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 is my last day at Menara Kuala Lumpur. I joined the company since 1 June 2009. I will definitely miss the events, team work and cherish the friendship made here.

So, after 2 years, 2 months & 24 days, I'm leaving for a new job and better prospects at Shriro Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

Here's a little info about the new company I'll be joining soon.

Shriro Malaysia Sdn Bhd is "an importer and distributor of a diverse range of top international brands in various product ranges such as cameras and accessories, consumer products, fashion wear, anti-corrosion materials and medical equipment. In addition, Shriro (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. is the franchisee for Bally in Malaysia, and operates the Bally retail boutiques in premium shopping malls." (Sourced & Information quoted from http://www.shriro.com/index.php)

So, if you read the last line of the paragraph above, that's where I'll be posted...to manage Bally together with my new team and colleagues. Yes, venturing into fashion. FIRST TIME! Goshhh...Like they say "There is always first for everything" or "With great power comes with great responsibility" (Quoted by Stan Lee based on Spider-Man Movie). Omgee, that 2nd phrase just makes me even nervous more...nervous is good right? Let's pray together with me dearies...

"Bismillahirahmannirrahim...Ya Allah Ya Tuhanku, please forgive me for the arrogance and pride I've portrayed and shared. My prayer is all out to you in giving me the strength to move forward with your blessings. Please make my choice, my journey and my endeavour a smooth and happy one. Please bless me to strive for success with humble needs and modesty. Aminnn..."

So, next month 6 September 2011, Shriro, here I come! hehe...So excited already! People, wish me luck. *taking a really deeeeep breath...

Luv Luv

Chick Flicks for Dudes

2011-08-20T13:42:00.008+08:00

BOYS LISTEN UP!

Maybe this might just change your perception on chick flicks...are not only for girls but also for dudes as well. Do listen to the recorded show taken from BFM and read on...

My morning drive home from work was a cheerful one when I was listening to "Chick Flicks for Dudes", which was the topic of the day this morning, aired by BFM's 89.9, The Business Radio Station on WTF (What The Flick) segment. I loved the topic they discussed on, especially when the two djs, Uma & Jo, brought this up for DUDES by DUDES! heheh..interesting, don't you think so?!

Ok ok, the topic was brought up in line with the upcoming comedy film, Bridesmaids that will be shown soon in Malaysia on 8 September 2011. So, according to the djs, this film will appeal to both women and men! I asssumed it will be hilarious and I'm so looking forward to it! It's been so long since I had this feeling of anticipation and excitement of watching a movie after Troy, Prince of Persia, Bond Movies and so forth...so many movies I've watched, I don't know which was my favourite. But I know, I've collected a few DVDs of my most fave films and stacked them safely at home...ORIGINAL ok! Still got a few lists more to buy actually (Practical Magic, with Sandra Bullock & Nicole Kidman...& Sabrina, not the witch movie but the one with Harrison Ford & Julia Ormond as the casts).

So, my point here is...if guy flicks work for girls, I'm sure there is a couple of chick flicks that appeal and amuse you guys too. So, as I mentioned and prolly you can guess, the guy flicks I like are mostly action, comedy and drama films. How about you guys, any chick flick film you like in particular? Or, you guys wanna watch Bridesmaids with me next month?! I'm on for a good laugh definitely... =D

Luv Luv!

Europe Trip 2011 (Part II)

2011-08-15T21:41:00.030+08:00

Ok people! Ready for more? Hehe..Let's go!

Let me take you out of England to one of my favourite places so far...

EDINBURGH

Two toned coloured field

The drive to the capital city of Scotland was amazing. The view was scenic and beautiful with luscious green field stretched all the way along on both sides of the highway. I was amazed with the two toned coloured field that can be seen a couple of times while driving. Imagine, dark green grasses in contrast with bright yellow flowers grown side by side in a vast land. If only I could have taken better photo of it. Haaa...*lost in reverie of the scenery!

Also I need to share that before reaching the city, we had a light bite in a small town somewhere, which served the most yummiest parsnip soup I've ever tasted. Actually, it was my first taste of it and seriously really good. Glad I had that headache and that really made me better instantly! Simply tasty.

Parsnip Soup.. super YUMS!
Missing it alot.

Tuna Croissant

Arrived the streets of Edinburgh

Rows of shoplots & anchovies pizza for lunch

Princes Street Gardens

The view of Edinburgh Castle from the street

Edinburgh Castle!

I love this photo taken above.
Adore the architecture of old buildings built with bricks.

This was taken when I was about to leave the castle. I couldn't help it but to snap from the back while the lads were posing in front of the entrance to the castle. What amused me was the same coloured orange hair and checkers caps they were wearing. Love the shot much!

I adored Edinburgh for its classic old buildings, clean city, scenic views and castles!!!

NOTTINGHAM

Back to England for a historic tour of the land, where Robin Hood was made famous. =)

The statue of Robin Hood

"King Richard the Lionheart joins the hands of Maid Marian and Robin Hood"

Do read the history

READING
(pronounce as Rare-Ding)

This next place was where we sent back the rented cars and had an opportunity to visit Aunty Ling & husband, my parent's friends, who were kind enough to host a bbq dinner at their home. Aunty Ling was also the tour guide for our trip around London, Bath, Snowdonia, The Lake District & of course her hometown, Reading.

The glass summer/winter room was awesome. Glass door and windows built all around with easy access from the living room to the garden. The whole place was very English indeed.

Aunty Ling, offering us tea,
Being a tea lover, I adore the tea sleeves much!!

That's her husband, picking up potatoes from their very own garden.
That's really cool!

What can other things be more traditional than offering profiteroles at an English bbq to complete a meal? Sinful but best giler ok! I was the only one to savour this because apparently, everyone else was too full to think about dessert. How can you resist such a thing?!!

The next day, we went for a half day river cruise on Thames River.

That's our ride

As much as it sounds fun riding in a boat, cruising down the river, feeling the wind blowing into your hair and basking in the sunshine, I realized that everything was done manually by papa and the rest of the uncles during the cruising day; the mooring, giving directions, stirring the boat...yada yada. The whole process was tiring I tell you. However, it was fun watching papa doing the navy/sailor act jumping in & out of the boat to secure ropes to stop boat from moving forward or to be in a queue.

Allow me to tell you the process of how it was done, so at least you have an idea of what a river cruise is and how you do it.

River cruise such as this, actually has a few check points at certain distances. So, when you see a check point like this one, the boat has to be stopped by tying ropes at the metal provided on either sides of the walkway.

The way to do it is by jumping out of the boat to the side, quickly tie and secure the ropes. You can see how my dad was performing his act, already outside with ropes tied down and that stopped the boat from moving, to be in a queue, waiting for the gate to be opened.

When I mentioned queue, literally, other vessels joined us as well like shown in the photo. =)

That's the time where you can check out the surroundings, meet people and take a peek at other vessels.

The check point has to be closed to make sure the water level is the same on both sides. The reason for this is to avoid water from rushing in and hit vessels parked from within. Once the water reaches its level, therefore, it is safe for the gate to be opened.

Once opened, vessels can take its turn to cross the gate. It goes the same with every check point we saw and did the whole process again and again.

It sounds tiring doesn't it? But seeing papa doing it was super awesome, even when he's already in his 50s. Super papa! Lol!

After cruising for some time, we moored the boat at the public temporary mooring site for lunch and a little sight seeing of the houses along the river.

During the whole journey, sceneries changed from time to time. If you like nature, calm and serenity, this would be the thing for you. Experience wise, I wish I could do like what papa did.

The next post would solely focused on Paris.
That would be the last post of my trip and can't wait to story you soon!

Stay tune people... ;)

Luv Luv!

Tea vs Zzz...

2011-08-15T14:12:00.003+08:00

Introducing Nasreen a.k.a Nas

From left: Tea Latte, Mocha Latte & Warm Choc Cake

I just did 3 write ups and it's time for some stories.
...

Last night, I met up with Nas for some girls talk over drinks. I was craving for brownies for no particular reason & Nas was kind enough to fetch, drive all the way to Mont Kiara and send me back right after our session. I can't help it but to say "You're so sweet la babe!" Lol...!

Originally, we wanted to go to Rasta but thinking it might be packed with people watching football/badminton, thus there we were. You should've seen our faces when we saw the 'warm choc cake' sign on the glass counter. Lol...well, at least I saw Nas's face and it was funny! Imagine ok...two girls walking-chatting at the same time, pushing themselves through the glass door, walked towards the self-service counter, queuing, eyes on the desserts and suddenly, both girls gasped, fingers pointing at the cakes, looked at each other & broke into silly laughter. *I'm laughing while typing this babe...haha! Like Hokkien people would say...beh tahan! (simply means can't hold / can't bear...i think you get what I mean). If only the cake has the warm chocolate oozing out like lava flow, that would be best! Oh well, I polished it off nicely anyway. ;P

The thing is, the reason I'm typing now is to amuse and keep myself awake from dozing off at work. It wasn't because of the cake or late night with Nas that I'm in this state, it was the tea I ordered! Ergh...tea latte has been keeping me up the whole night and I kept on tossing and turning myself around in bed till sahur, up till now. So yes, I'm still in a daze condition...bad bad bad. I should've known, no caffeine during weekdays, only Friday & Saturday nights! Hmmph...I want to go home now. *Isk isk...

Nas, I just gotta add this. We are still young, why not do this late night stint once a while kan kan?? hehe...*hugs!

Film Night

2011-08-09T23:38:00.004+08:00

So, I just watched 'All ABout Steve' on Starmovies and Sandra Bullock was one of the main casts. I super love her! The movie was just ok but what captured my attention was the phrase she stated at the end of the movie...

"If you love someone, set him free; if you have to stalk him, he probably wasn't yours in the first place."

Haih...how ironic.
Go figure.

Sahilah's Bday!
Saturday, 16 July 2011
@ Teeq, Lot 10

Oh yes...she was surprised indeed. You guys should hear her gasped and laughter. Nearly fought with her bf over not wanting to go to club for her bday, who also kindly organized the whole bday thing together with the girls, luckily she turned up. If not, she would have missed that super yummy cake! Hehehe...

Shoe's Bday!
Wednesday, 3 August 2011
@ Bumbu Desa, The Curve

The surprise of Shoe's birthday dinner came when it's time to blow the candles! Haha..yup, we had fellows of Bumbu Desa serenaded us with Indo bday songs and it was hilarious! Honestly, I don't understand what they were singing except for the 2nd dangdut song, where I've heard it somewhere before. Hilarious or not, we all had fun. Hahaha..btw Shoe, nice bling you got yourself there. I'm talking about the long twisted beans and chilli ya not the tiara...Lol!!!

Ushering in the month of Ramadhan Al-Mubarak

2011-08-01T10:48:00.003+08:00

Work done and just as I was about to type, I bumped my left knee of my office table. *OUCH!!! Sabar Via, sabar...

...

It's August 1st, 2011 and there are a few noteworthy events worth mentioning at the start of this holy month. First, the fasting month starts today and secondly, Fat Spoon turned 1 year old, as you can see I've excitedly put up the video in the previous post (Read the article on Happy Birthday Fat Spoon!!!). Happy happy, joy joy!

Photo by Chelle

So yesterday, Fat Spoon had a little treat for patrons who came by yesterday. As you can see the awesome photo taken shown above by my cousin, we prepared some morsels of sweet desserts in a little buffet line on our drinks counter, a complimentary token by us all, the Fat Spoon family. We served red velvet cuppies, onde-onde, petit orange cakes, lovely pulut inti and banana spring rolls with homemade custard! Yumssszahhhh...!

I had a busy time running in and out the cafe serving people here and there, honestly it was tiring...but then it was a good day plus seeing people I know dropped by totally made my day. Even my brother and sister-in-law came! Such great day and time also made me welcomed Ramadhan month in quite pleasantly. I'm smiling as I'm typing this now.

Mama is also back to celebrate first day puasa and buka with me later, which I can't wait! Pasar Ramadhan, here we come yo!

"Happy Fasting and Be good! ;)"

Luv luv!

Happy Birthday Fat Spoon!!!

2011-08-01T00:07:00.005+08:00

So finally, Fat Spoon has turned 1 year old!!!

"Congrats to Chelle & our families for the hardwork, effort and dedication they've put into making it happened. On behalf of my family & relatives, I wish to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you who have visited and continue to visit the cafe every now and then; families, friends, patrons and especially to those who became our regulars...thank you so much for the never ending support all of you gave us up till now. A special thanks to Fairul, our dear friend, who videographed the video awesomely!"

And for that, allow us to present to you all a little video in showing our utmost appreciation and love from Fat Spoon. Enjoy!

Dockers presents Fall/Holiday 2011 Collection

2011-07-25T21:20:00.010+08:00

Listen up guys! How about getting yourselves a pair of highly versatile Khaki with Jean-like qualities?? If it sounds interesting enough, then do read on more!

So, last 2 weeks ago, I attended and witnessed the revealing of Dockers Fall/Holiday 2011 Collection at Alexis Gardens. Launching its first-ever product, the Alpha Khaki was revealed and reintroduced to a new generation of men where it expresses the Journey of Manhood. Think younger, fitter and more trend receptive attributes, which goes with 'It's where jeans end and Khakis begin' statement.

If you love your jeans, you will love Alpha Khaki with its versatility and style options that carries the sign of individualism. Not only that, it is suitable for both work and play guys, sounds very interesting and sexy!!

Yup, that's the PR babe, Sahilah, who made it all happened!

The season's must have!

Oh right, have I told you that it comes in 19 colours?! ;)

We ended the night with a little request of mine, to watch an episode of Coffee Prince, Korean drama with everyone! Hahaha..just drool looking at Gong Yoo & his cheekiness.

So, in return, here's a little thank you speech from yours truly...

"Chelle, Jee Hoe, Aunty Kim, Aunty Tin, Rus, Danial, Ah Ma & Maria, thank you for organizing this AWESOME white party. The front lawn is a favourite among us all now!

July comes...

2011-07-08T11:23:00.004+08:00

Hey all...sorry for the slow updates as I was quite busy as of late. So much going on with work at the tower, running my daily routines at the same time managing other things. That's just me you know, wanting to do everything whenever possible. Without even realizing it, July came in rather gracefully and it's already the 8th of July. Phew, haha...I'm having mixed emotions right now.

First, maybe mama's been not very well lately.

Secondly, July supposedly my happy month and yet I'm not up for it.

Thirdly, thanks to my colleagues and Aunty's influence in making me cheerful watching Coffee Prince, a Korean drama of 17 episodes. (Aruso!) ;P

Fourthly, thank god for the cafe! Meeting people every Sunday, talking to them..that's my zen moment right there yo!

Fifth, surreal but true, in 3 days time, Nurvia's turning 27.

Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to it and just go with the flow! Yah!!!
Updates on Europe photos will be up soon. =)

Drama Breakfast Gang (1)

2011-06-28T10:43:00.013+08:00

Yes girls, I am officially using that title from now on. Hahaha...well, life as it is, if not full of laughter, then of course, it will be full of drama. Classic! (Read the introduction of DBG here.) ;P

So, back to the post.

Last Saturday, the DBG met up at T forty two. Suggested by Idrina, it was a relatively new place for us all. Sophisticated decor with dimmed lighting, pretty chandelier, plush-quilted sofas & cushions in royal hues, dainty floral decors, utensils and my absolute favourite, the black framed-french glass windows & doors. Also, who would not miss that grand piano placed right in the middle of the parquet floor along the walkway of BVII. =)

There were two sections of the dining area at the foyer, the plush sofa and the garden area. The garden setting was suitable for a big crowd like us.

The menu has an interesting list of hot foods, pastries & tea selections. If you like French cuisine, then maybe you could give it a try here. Imagine, chocolate croissants, macaroons and baguettes being displayed in the menu. FYI, if you see the food spread shown below, the baguette placed in the middle of our table was freshly made and it was super good! Soft, hot bread served with lightly, salted butter...YUMSSSZAAAAH! Oh Oh, have I mentioned that it was a complimentary starter by courtesy of the bistro?! =D

Mama & son kidding around.
So cute lah Irfan!!

We went "Oooooh..." & "Ahhhhh..." when the waitress came with the tea serving. I adore the colourful, intricate details of the cups, saucers and teapot much. Azz's choice of Gorgeous Geisha green tea in the huge, bright orange teapot was worth the price of RM9.90 per pot. Sipping tea was really awesome for the both of us. My choice?....

Is of course the tea with brown rice..my absolute favourite!
If not mistaken it's called Genmaicha?

FOOD SPREAD

Check it out!

Idrina's Lorraine Quiche

Farah's salmon sandwich & Hot Chocolate

Erin's Turkey Melt Croissant

Azz's Basil Chicken Croissant

My Mushroom & Rocket Baguette.
The shoe string fries were really nice or we were really hungry..hehe

Chocolate, Lemon & Green Tea macaroons

My recommendation in ordering sandwiches is that try to choose croissant or toasted ciabatta/panini. It's nicer and compliments the filling of your choice better. Try to avoid ordering baguette as it can be hard to chew, unless if it's a fresh-from-the-oven made baguette. =)

A little kiddy moment with our little grown Irfan. We, Aunties are looking forward to that one day where we'll have proper DBG with Irfan in the picture. That will definitely come soon.

Two Weddings in a Weekend

2011-06-23T12:51:00.005+08:00

Last weekend, I attended my good friends' wedding receptions. There were 2 couples actually. The difference between the two receptions; one was Chinese and the other was Malay. Totally different cultures, different guest invitees, different food, different decors, different dress codes and of course different feel of ambiance. The only same thing about these two wedding receptions was that both were held at the very same venue, Tropicana Gold & Country Club. ;)

I think I know what makes me sick today.

First of all, it's a Monday...but thank Allah, I had the workload to make time past by so quickly that I had my so called lunch at 6 ish pm.

Next, on the way to work this morning, I had a minor shock when I drove past Jalan Tun Perak and saw this mid aged lady, clad in a green blue-ish kurung, wearing this super huge & bright neon green triangle dangling earrings (which kinda made me stared at her in the first place) & she just nonchalantly flashed her braless, upper body, with err..hmm, let's just say the gravity took over those parts ya...to the many pedestrians walking on the side of the road!!! Haha..well, I was surprised but then again, she must be perspiring hard to actually gave a quick peekaboo moment this morning. Haih... funny but not a good start of the day.

But come to think of it, it was funny. haha!
Ya, that's all for today.

Working Late...

2011-06-13T19:10:00.002+08:00

So, after drafting and typing out 18 invitation letters for work, apparently it seems that I can get sick. The symptoms are clear enough, with the sniffing, sneezing, hot neck and flushed cheeks...guess need to pop that panadols tonight! Ergh...

New, Old Office

2011-06-09T15:29:00.008+08:00

So, after working and being on the 11th floor of Menara PanGlobal for 2 years & 8 days precisely, here I am, typing, just to share with you that I just moved from the old office to a somewhat new work place at Muzium Telekom, Jalan Raja Chulan just this morning.

Not to say that I got a new job, I am actually still working at Corp Comm Division for Menara Kuala Lumpur Sdn Bhd. It's just that my office as of now will be here at Muzium Telekom, right smacked at the beginning of Raja Chulan road. It is a busy road you know... ;P

Fyi, Muzium Telekom is a sister company to Menara Kuala Lumpur and a subsidiary of TM. So, like I mentioned earlier, here I am, placed in a somewhat new working environment, which is also considered as an old building, with recently Corp Comm merging with the Events Team once again like we used to and being monitored by a new GM.

To tell you the truth, I'm overwhelmed with all the things happening right now but I'll get used to it sooner or later. The only thing now is, I just need to know where I can get my water and junk food supplies, including my new lunch spots. Hehehe..venturing new places sound fun to me now.

However, I'm already missing my daily walks to and fro from my previous office to Menara Hap Seng, just to get that cup of mocha from Starbucks. You see, I love walking & checking out the scenes from that route, with trees hanging and sheltering me from the hot sun, people of all sorts walking up & down the lane and of course, my daily fix of coffee and also the part where those walks actually tone my leggy legs. ;P Haih...guess I just need to find myself a new route to walk now.

Wish me luck!!!

Decors we love!

I adore the venue, ambiance and lighting much!
Flower petals & decorated branches, extra nice!

The couple cheering during yam seng session

I got back just in time for my good friend's wedding on the 28 May 2011. It was my first time attending a Christian wedding and it was more or less just like a Chinese wedding but the difference was the solemnization part was done in a church. The part I like about the whole wedding was that it was done in a day; morning, solemnization ceremony and night time, dinner.

Click on me!

Yup, I'm back since last Friday and back to work this week. Still jet lag and slowly I'm getting used to the time back here. As you can see I'm still typing away now at nearly 1am. ;P

Hard to shut my eyes after being away for 3 whole weeks away from Malaysia with the vast time difference. To tell you the truth, I'm still tired, thanks to the 12 hours flight back from Paris and the constant turbulence in mid air.

Anyway, please do wait for updates and here's a little peek of me somewhere in Snowdonia, Wales.

Till then!!

Hello from Edinburgh!

2011-05-18T23:29:00.010+08:00

Hi everyone!

Right now, I'm in Edinburgh, typing away happily as I've been away from the computer for almost a week and half now. The weather is super cold and windy here. So sorry for the lack of updates as I'm currently away with my family and family friends for a little Europe tour. Another week and a half, I'll be back and I can't wait to share stories of my tours, walks and also photos! Oh gosh, just imagine my excitedness when I found out this hotel we are staying at has an internet access! So much emails to read and FB updates. hahaha...

I can't wait to feel the warm, sunny weather back in Malaysia soon and being at Fat Spoon cafe and also going back doing my happy routines. Missing all my friends too. See you all very soon!

Till then people!

Luv Luv all the way from Scotland,

Menara Kuala Lumpur signature event, Towerthon will take place tomorrow night and I'm excited. Well, though my assigned task doesn't sound interesting (to take care of the VIP), but I've never seen any race whatsoever held at night and stand close to where the flagged off area's gonna be... =D woohoo! Go runners! hehe...

Therefore, first thing tomorrow morning, I need a good WALK!
Need to clear my head, get fresh air & de-stress.

Yes, Kiara Park, here I come...

I finally went to The Haute Food Co. to see what's good and at that time, I was craving for smoke salmon & sour cream. Loved it when they had it on the menu! La la la...

The roast lamb wrap was good too with the right meat texture accompanied with sauteed onions..Aiyoh, I'm hungry now. The place is really cute, adequate only for a number of people unless you go early to get yourselves a table. Not forgetting to mention, behind the glass counter, yes girls, desserts!! Simply divine babes...I had my eyes on the chocolate cheesecake, but at that time was too full to even think about it. I think they even have tea time promo should you go for tea & chats.

So, shall we visit Haute Food Co.

Two weeks ago, we girls had our Friday night out at Canoodling, BVII. I love the place just because they serve a whole extensive list of mainly noodles at affordable prices. Yeay!

Modern and yet quirky interior decor makes the atmosphere warm and friendly.

Definitely a great place for families with kids not only because of the slurping noodles but I guess those flat screen televisions plastered on the wall can take away their boredom while showing their creativity doodling with crayons on the 'mahjong' paper set as table cloths. Hehe...comels!!!

Bridal Shower @ Fat Spoon Cafe

2011-04-29T14:12:00.022+08:00

Last month, we had an awesome modest opportunity of working together with Sherly, the Creative Planner of TieTheKnot together with her teammates, Agnes and Jessie, the Wedding Consultants of Favors Essence.

Meeting Sherly for the first time was like meeting an old friend really. She's super duper friendly, nice and bubbly.

Everything about her is fun, fun...FUN!

As such, you can see her laid back and colourful personality goes very well being in the wedding business and hence, the success of the bridal shower party she and team organized in March at Fat Spoon Cafe!

The whole set up was one of a kind, significant and exceptionally wonderful. Using playful colours of yellow and pink as the main theme, everything else added during the prep made the whole after-decor-episode absolutely perfect.

Wait till you see the rest of the photos I managed to snap with the wedding favors and more pretty decorations!!!

Gig: MGMT

2011-04-07T16:37:00.005+08:00

The MGMT gig that was held at Bukit Kiara Indoor Stadium on 25 March 2011 was just...so so. But what I like about it was the venue - airy, spacious, cooling and relaxing. This would be the 2nd sweat-less time I've experienced during and after a gig. The lighting was dimmed and thus, most of the photos captured were blur. ;p

Via, Man, Ila

Opening Performance by Kyoto Protokol

MGMT

The psychedelic background video

As you can see, most of the time, we sat down while listening to them. The only time we stood and jumped was when we heard a couple of familiar songs played. Lol...but luckily, the songs were kind of chilling and made most of us, especially the young bloods calmed. =)

Gig: The Whitest Boy Alive

2011-03-23T17:42:00.011+08:00

Just 2 nights ago, we went to The Whitest Boy Alive at Mist Club. I like the spacious ground and space at the club. Not to mention the coldness! Brrrr...but later on we warmed up when we started swaying to TWBA's performances! Really superly, cooool! *Imagining the Golden Cage's strums of guitar playing at the back of my head..

Next gig boys and girls...MGMT!!!
Yup, it's tomorrow at Bukit Kiara...it's gig week bebeh!

Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2011

2011-03-19T13:37:00.023+08:00

Thanks for this shot Man!

Got back like 3 hours ago from the fiesta and now, here I am, blogging about it already! Semangat kan? Come, check these shots out!

3rd Putrajaya International
Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2011

7.12am - Us @ the fiesta ground

So, as planned, we (Sahilah, Man, Mama & I) pushed off from home at 6 ish am and traffic was so smooth...such a great PLEASURE! hehe...Arrived at 7am, we saw a long queue gathered for tethered ride. Such anticipation...craaaaazy I tell you!!

When we saw that first cute balloon blown up, we all got excited and thus the 1st shot above. So, let's just move on with other interesting shots of the day!

Suddenly, when that familiar Starwars soundtrack blasted out, people started to cheer and Darth Vader appeared. Haha..Now, this was interesting. I was looking forward for this. Got some shots of it flying over above our heads, which was really really cool!

I know mama's excited. Haha!

3 of us youngsters

Such great shots of us all babe!! =D

Then, another familiar character was blown up...including that famous soundtrack!

Doraemon!!!

Mollydooker's
Coffee Bar

Offering great coffees and pastries, Mollydooker's Coffee Bar was set up by some friends alongside with other participating F&B. You want your coffee fix, you go there. The donut's also good. If you wish to get something extra special, The Last Polka's homemade ice creams were also available at the outlet...mmmMMM! ;)

Another friend joined us!

The gang with the baristas, Arab (in red) & Mizi

So, that's us together with the baristas!!! Even when they were so busy making coffees, they still had time for us. You guys rock! ;>

Tea & Dinner with the Lady!

2011-03-18T12:10:00.020+08:00

Tea @ PHOP
The Curve

Original Pancakes with Strawberries & Cream!

So, I took a half day off last Wednesday to assist Mama, settled some of her documentation procedures at Maybank, The Curve. That was also the time I got my pancakes fix at PHOP. =) Finally! hehe..been craving for it for some time now.

My fave? Of course the Original Pancakes with Strawberries & Cream!

The Lady...

and her little junior!

Honeycomb lurveee!!!

The most important thing when you visit PHOP is to make sure you order that honeycomb butter! That's the s*#%!!! ;P

Plaza Damas
Sri Hartamas

The Crowd

Last night, I had this tinge of craving for fish & chips. The thing is, I don't really like fish & chips. So, we went over to The Magnificent Fish & Chips Bar in Changkat just to see what's the hype about the food when suddenly there was this St. Patrick's Festival going out, with tables and chairs laid out on the whole stretch of Changkat road. Hoping for a table available at the restaurant, we went through the crowd anyway, where we were flashed with girls clad in sexy, skimpy green dresses, radio DJs wearing all in black, expats-old & young entering from every corner of the streets and of course, the after working people sitting around in groups with their working shirt sleeves rolled up, raising glasses at the same time eyes wandering wild checking girls out around saying "CHEERS!"...hehe, very St. Patrick's la...

But ya, like I expected, the place was packed & so we walked back out through the same route, seeing the same scenes again and therefore, I just couldn't help it but to snap a couple of shots for show. ;P

In the end, we went to our fave, little place in Plaza Damas, Warong Uncle Don. I just found out the name of the place like a few mins ago. It's one of my fave eatery tucked romantically, quietly by the corner of the area. I always call it the 'porridge place @ damas'. hehe...

Soto Ayam

Salt beef sandwich

Chicken Satay

Nasi Lemak bungkus

From left: Saltbeef & Pastrami sandwiches

Yup, Salt beef was recommended by a friend & I couldn't help it but order two types of sandwiches! Both were equally good & cost RM8.00 per plate. Mama ordered soto ayam and satay. I had the nasi lemak right after I consumed the sandwiches and half of the satay. That same night, I guiltily skipped badminton. =S I guess I've put on a few calories that night. Adui...

If you know this place or managed to find it, I would recommend the sandwiches, porridge and satay. Really sedap! The porridge will whet your appetite as soon as you see the condiments laid one by one on your table. That was how I felt when I tried it the first time! Trust me...it's really really good!

Rakuzen, Plaza Damas

2011-03-11T17:52:00.006+08:00

Mini Private Booth

I loved the mini private booth available at Rakuzen, Plaza Damas. It's like this little fit-for-two-box, set with a sexy dimmed mini lamp, comfy cushions, a little table just enough for 2 orders of set lunch and the best part, getting cozy with the person sitting rather closely, next to you. =)

It was very chilly in the restaurant but am grateful the weather outside was super awesome, warm and sunny bright!

From left: Saba & Grilled Chicken Set

So girls, if you wish to have some really intimate moments with your special someone or just that girly day out, go here. Unless you are really lucky that other patrons didn't bring their babies at that same time, then you'll have some quiet quality time. If not then I just hope you ignore those cryings and indulge in the good Jap food!! Yumsssszah!

I went to the other branch somewhere in Desa Parkcity.
