Fellowship gathering

It was my first time attending my fren's fellowship meet up. It was a pot luck kind of event, where each of us is suppose to bring a type of food (May it be homemade or bought) and share it among ourselves. Special thanks to the Host - Ee Ling and the Coordinator Wan Chin for organzing this event!

Yummy food prepared by all of us.... :) The food I prepared are still in the fridge and oven. :( not in this photo....



I had a great time. It was held at Regency Heights! It is a really nice place to live in! Ee ling's house's dining area! love the artistic window by the wall that allows see through view into the kitchen....


The nice living room..................
Will update this port later on when Daniel pass us the photos!
Thanks to Eugene for asking me! I had a great time! Check out the photo below! its Eugene trying out my homemade mini potatoes with garlic cheese! Hem... don't get the wrong impression that the food taste bad because of his expression... exaggerating indeed!

what a surprise!

I received a mysterious phone call today. From a girl named Joel. She called to invite me for valentines diner on behalf on someone. Suppose to be a surprise she say... :)
She was a cute girl, besides trying to persuade me to go out, she explain to me roughly regarding the arrangement for valentines night, such as romantic diner, the happening events, activities etc which will be held at the penang royal hotel (I have no idea where this hotel is located).
I start to wonder who could this mysterious guy be? well, eventhough i rejected the invitation directly, I already feel like I'm in the movies. I am already delighted with the arrangement although I wont be going to attend. To me, its a really sweet memory. After all, it's the first time!
She persuaded me to reconsider the invitation and let her know if I changed my mind. And! if I needed any hint on the guess of the man behind the scene, she added that I can always contact her.

A day to remember! A day to live for a better tomorrow!

My new Haircut

Finally... after 8 years of having long straight hair, and 3 months of long curly hair... I've decided to have my cut short to shoulder length. Haha, my little brother thought it was hard decision to make after so many years, but actually it was the other way around, because I am pretty fed up with the same image for so many years. Although this new haircut may looks bad... who cares? as long as its something different... right?

Mum brought me to this barber, open by her fren's fren... ( oh that's far..)
Fairly price! it was consider cheap among available hair dresser nowadays! Of cause this shop is not a well known hairdresser, nor is it located a nice shop lots... its actually a house converted to a hair dresser. :)

With a price of RM15, I'm am satisfied with his service and will come back in future...

Here are some photos of my new haircut @ my room and house stairway

4th of February 2009

What a FULL-filling day i had today! My 4th of Feb was full of good food! :) particularly seafood!
I had the most enjoyable lunch today. Why? because we "6" gals, went along ordering food without limits and price constraints ( even during economic downturn... haha), the only show stopper is our stomach! oh... they feel so bursted..... and dinner was again fullfilling with expensive seafood served from BALI HAI....

We had our lunch at AZUMA japanese restaurant QB. Today is a special day for one of colleages. Its her BIG day!! and we her dear frens decided to throw a jap food buffet lunch for her ( its actually ala carte - buffet is just the style we had our lunch) Our lunch came up to RM245 (with 10% discount from the member card)

The Birthday Gal smiling happily & touched with her small Tiramisu cake from Starbucks!


Check out some of the dishes we had below...

Grilled Salmon

Salmon Belly

Yummy Fried Dumplings
Beef rolls enoki (mushrooms)

Unagi Salmon Pizza! Pizza base is made from Sushi Rice instead of bread...

Salmon Teriyaki
Unagi Maki
Grilled OysterWe also had a RM12 plate of Tofu (forgot to take the photo).. and etc
(very expensive since only one piece which is sold for about RM0.80 per piece in supermarkets?)

Me and My dear colleagues... such a wonderful lunch without $$ limits we had at AZUMA@queensbay!

Even for dinner, I had another scrumptious meal at BALI HAI, seafood restaurant at gurney area.



It was a treat from dad's boss.... we had Prawns, Cheese baked Oysters, Steam Fish, King Crab, Lobster etc.....



King Crab with Egg White, mushrooms....




Steam Sea Goupers? (according to bro) Is that the name of the fish?





Big Prawns... not Huge... taste original... but they are really fresh out of the water...

Big Oyster, Cheese mayo mushroom baked... Taste good for once taste bad if two.... :)
Close up look of the Oyster!
Lobster! Its a huge one... No wonder the meat is so muscular! yummy yummy

All food serve in BALI HAI is rated just OK... for the price! I wont recommend... doesn't taste any special except they are fresh out of the water...

Temple Gathering aka MIAO HUI


Cute Little 24 Drummers ^_^ The last time I saw this was during my high school days!

Lion Dance! Aplenty of them! I believe today "THE" day I enjoyed so many lion dance performance in many many years.

Dragon Dance! Only one-and-only Dragon who is available that very day.

Chinese Puppet Show. I'm not a fan of it, yet it caught some passer-by's attention




Wondering who she is? The "STAR" of the event for a moment there! This cute little gal was sitting on top of her dad's head while enjoying the 24 little drummers. Coincidentally her dad was standing right behind me, laying my eyes of her, I could not resist but to shout out "Look!! She's is so Cuteee..... and well ya! She is! With my help as well as her looks, seconds later, almost all passer-by caught sight of her, and almost everyone with a camera on their hands, started to snap on her! Check out the crowd urself! well this was just part of it! I have to mention what a talented star she was. This cute girl even responded to the crowd and smile at different angles and various cameras when called by the crowd.



At Khoo Kongsi. The largest (not sure) and most famous "kongsi" in Penang. Just look at the gold cravings, there is even a stage and performers to entertain the crowd!

There were much more activities over there. Different types of performances. Singing base on different dialects, performance of traditional music instruments like "GU ZHEN", local delicacies like "LEI CA", Pig Leg vinegar, Meat Dumpling, Fu Jian Spring Rolls and many many more. There were a huge crowd but luckily the event was big and spread out, thus it was still walkable. All of us had a tiring day visiting, and I felt like i was 20 years older, it was aching all over my body ( I wonder why? ) After the tiring walk, we were straving so we heading to KOCHA to have our diner!

Some of the dishes we had there.


Ma lak Steamboat (Spicy only) and Paper Steamboat (Sweet soup base with some taste of milk)



Three Cups Chicken (It may not look appertizing but it actually is!) and Fried Dumplings (GUO TIE)

We also had fried tofu, mince pork rice and a pot of pearl mo li flower tea.
The paper steamboat, three cups chicken and fried tofu is recommended.
Fried Dumplings taste pretty normal while the Ma lak steamboat only tasted spicy. I do not recommend having the ma lak steamboat unless you are just looking for a spicy soup base!

~The END of a wonderful sunday with my family, relatives and dear friends~
