好久不见 (^^,)/

哈哈...自从上两个月终于从槟城回来过后,就好像好久没动过这里了。对,虽然说我只会在无聊寂寞孤单时才会想要写写东东,可是最近的生活其实还蛮“充实"的,所以就没什么update这里...=p 现在就分享一下回来KL了过后的生活点滴...

衣,食,住,行

相信这个也不怎么须要说了吧。当然是回家最好...有家人无微不至的照顾,一天三餐都无忧无虑。可是对于食物的要求好像就提高了...在还没回到来之前就想到会有一段时间不适应这里的食物,只是...那段时间是一个月..><基本上觉得槟城虽然说不是每样东东都非常好吃,可是在那里随便在一个小贩中心吃的,都会比在KL随便在一个小贩中心吃的食物好料。话虽如此,每天还不是一直吃个不停...XD 而且还多了吃宵夜的习惯。以前晚上8点过后就不吃东东的原则毁于一旦了...

朋友们


回来看见自己熟悉的好朋友们,脸上不禁笑了起来。还以为会跟不上他们的话题,毕竟离开了半年了,可是看来他们精彩的生活还是远离不了某些事...就和以前一样。唯一改变了的是有些朋友多了另一半,有些少了另一半,有些终于将另一半露脸,有些还在寻找着那另一半...我呢?什么都不是。心里的空间越来越少了...除了装一些重要的事情与朋友家人以外就好像没什么空间去放“Love"这样东东...而且通常这样东东这样都会连着另一个东东一起出现,就像买锁头就会有锁匙酱,就是“烦恼”。既然没位子放“锁头”,还要位子放“锁匙"喔...Jangan咯...

“充实"ness

原来忙起来真的会让人觉得充实的...回到来上课开始就不断的赶report,什么零零碎碎的东东都要写report。Office的人真的还蛮喜欢看报告的咯...明知我们已经那么多科和projects在手(当然知道啦,是他们搞成酱的><),还要我们事无大小都写写report给他们过目,看来迟些可能连上个厕所,吃个X餐(X=早,午,晚),看电视,上网等事情都要写下来了。上课时间更经典,是一到五,早上9点到傍晚5点...T.T 所以现在发现时间真的很不够用,多希望每天有28小时啊...多4个钟可以facebook,msn,blog,拍照,facebook, 上下厕所,做下运动,facebook...XD



没什么特别吧。可能就肥了一点点...(okla,肥了很多啦...T.T) 然后话(废)多了一点点,笑容多了一点点,走路快了一点点,懒惰多了一点点,朋友多了一点点,钱包空了很多...XD 还有真的蛮想念槟城那儿的朋友和同事...想念多多人坐在一台开开心心的吃饭聊天,看他们滑稽的搞笑动作,讲的(黄色)笑话...也想念去了英国读书两个月了的姐姐...昨天和她skype时发现了她还是那么漂亮可爱,可是就消瘦了一点...但还是健康快乐的。希望她在那儿可以一直都那么平安无事,身体健康,快快乐乐咯...^^,

讲讲下,突然非常想吃烧鸡翼...就跑去买了..=p
家附近的烧鸡翼

就写到这里吧...

再见,亲爱的喵喵姐姐...T.T

五月,我离乡别井,到达了遥远的槟城...(300公里算远了吧?出国的那些就别拿来比较啦,你们不是这个阶级的)为的,就是要在这里完成被我的垃圾学院(别告诉别人我读拉曼)派我到这里的受训.一路以来的3个月工业训练,到了我这批才改成6个月,还要剥夺我们所有的学期假期才凑的出来.想到这点,不禁有点心酸...

初来报道的当时...在公司里,人都不认识几个,难免会觉得有点陌生,有点害怕。一直到了午饭时间,才和刚认识的USM学徒一起用餐.他们比我早来了一个星期,所以跟着他们也应该不会有什么差误的吧.他们站,我就站.他们坐,我就坐.他们被骂,我就在一旁偷笑好了XD

原来他们不只是两人自己坐,同部门的已经有一些非常友善的同事和他们是算蛮friend的了.然后那些同事也同时和其他部门的同事friend得很,所以这一座满满的都是一些友善的人吧.好,就试试和你们打交道吧.

原来,这班人真的都还蛮友善的.至少不会像一些奇怪,lin死的KL人一样.(我肯定不是)认识久了,都觉得他们和你做朋友是将心比己的,没心机,绝对是交得过的朋友.

就在这群人当中,最特出,最显眼的就莫过于她.可能是因为这群人里没什么女生,然后她因为是contract worker,所以和我一样,也是没制服穿的.而且公司里也没几个美女,所以她也称得上是其中一位吧.所以当时的目光也被她吸引着了.除此之外,她还有一个好吸引人的地方,就是和我一样的大眼睛. ^^,

和她开始的交谈,当然也是一些例牌的话.如: 哪里来的啊?什么名啊?吃饱了没啊...因为她也是非常健谈的一位女生,所以谈谈下,又在facebook处和她继续谈我们午饭时间时还没谈完的话题.就这样,也在facebook和午饭时间里对彼此的理解更深了.原来她有很多东西都和我挺像的...性格方面也好,口味,想法...所以找到自己style的人也非常难得。

她也是一位非常聪明的女生.每次午饭时间,吃饱了以后,我都会搬出一些搞笑和逻辑的问答题让大家猜.她应付每一题的方法是从复杂的思考开始,然后才到简单的想法.所以有时候会闹出很多的笑话,但也有很多时候会在短短的时间里就猜中.和她逛街时,也会善用一些科学原理,让自己和别人走最少的路程,方便大家.(可是有时候还是会觉得她这么做有点多余...^^"不好意思哦姐...)

因为有灵敏的听觉及嗅觉,她在什么时候都会听见一些别人难听见的声音.然后她好动的头脑又会开始想她所听见的东西到底是什么...可是这样也有不好啦,睡觉时会被一点点的小声音吵醒,然后就会不够睡.整个人也会blur blur,心情也跟着不好了.她还有一样可爱的特点,就是懒.到底可以懒到什么地步?就连肚子饿了,也宁愿不吃或就随便泡一杯Milo喝就算了.也因为这样,真的好担心她在英国时会不会经常胃痛呢...

她有非常多的优点.要是我在这里写,我看三天三夜都写不完...要四天.XD 好啦就係咁宜将几个出来啦...大方,开朗,活泼,可爱,漂亮,体贴,斯文,温柔,入得厨房,出得厅堂....哇,係咁宜讲讲就有酱多.而且,就凭她相识满天下,然后所有朋友同事都对她非常好,为她毫无条件地做东西;当知道了她就要出国以后,还一直猛约她见面,请她吃饭,送他礼物.单单要离开公司了,同事和老板就请了她吃几餐了,又送她许多东西.可想而知她是个多么难得,多么让人珍重的朋友啦.

这也不是没原因的...她的为人的确是好到不得了.就在我刚来槟城不久,想说到哪里有好吃的好玩的去,可是却不懂得怎么去.然后在家也是闷得不得了的,真想找人陪我逛逛街,看看电影.和她提起这些后,然后她就毫不犹豫的告诉我她可以带我去gai gai的.哇...真的是感动到...T.T

然后到近来的几个月,还有机会到她家去吃住家饭.哇!离乡别井在这里还可以吃到住家饭是多么难得的一件事啊...每天吃多盐多糖多味精的食物是多么的可怕,能吃住家饭的感觉是多么的好啊...再加上她母亲是厨艺好手,真的发达啦...不止这样,她的母亲也非常好客和友善,一点"严肃妈妈型"都没有...这点更令我想起了我妈...而且而且,还可以在她家用我亲切熟悉的广东话交谈...真得太感动了.T.T 所以我答应过我自己,只要我能帮得上忙得,姐有什么需要我一定尽力而为.所以我一有机会就会请她吃东西,她叫我做什么我也不会抱怨的帮她搞定.

如今,她要到英国去深造了.现在她大概已经要上飞机上了吧...真的很舍不得她...她临走之前,她的朋友们都有写卡片送给她.哎呀!这个东西我真的没想到要做!所以在这里写上相对她说的话,希望她下次上网时会看见吧...

TO: my dear lovely,...(...是我曾经用过的形容词s,你知道的了瓜...^^,)miao miao 姐

哈哈,真的very sorry...什么东西都送你,就忘了卡片这回事.^^" 不过卡片会弄丢,我在这里写的就不会咯!还可以print无限张tim...好的,废话少说,又是你要叫我"Daddy"的时候咯...><"

"Daddy"
:

希望你在那儿会好好照顾自己,做所有事都会顺顺利利病魔在你在英国的时候千万不要kacau,不然生病时没人照顾是很可怜的.一直保持开开心心的心情,别那么拼命,该休息就休息,该工作就工作,该读书就读书,还有当然该游玩就游玩咯.(这样东西相信不吩咐她也会的吧^^,) 还有万事要小心,见人跟踪你就要喊!想非礼你就要喊更大声!!动到你的人就打死他!!!

记得要戴眼识人,对每个新认识的朋友都要先有戒心,认识久了以后才放心.要好好保护自己哦!别太容易相信别人...那边天气那么冷,你一定会beh tahan的,所以多喝妈妈买的药材,姜汤等的保品,热水袋要常带在身旁,厚厚的衣服多穿几件,到了那边买一些冷衣吧.最后,要吃好好!!别因为懒惰就不吃饭,买其它东西可以省,吃就吃好点的,吃多点哦...还有别常常熬夜!(不过这个我相信你不会的吧...不会就好^^,)

"弟弟":

T.T 我舍不得你...yeah yeah..(pls自己唱出来,唔该.XD)

真的好感谢你一直以来对我的好,带我去gai gai,请我吃好料,陪我聊聊天,送送我回家,送送我东西...让我在这里有时的weekend过的充实开心.从你身上也学到了不少东西,虽然有时会觉得你想的东西有点funny,可是想深一层就会发觉那个道理的所在.我知道自己是比较调皮,有时会ejek你一下,可是都是开玩笑的哦,希望有说到让你不开心的话就原谅我吧...

还有有时会讲很多不好听的话,然后就180度转弯变化,其实真的只是做着"笑果",并不是""哦.^^" 还有别把我每次赞美你的话当做是骗无知少女的话,因为我是真的觉得那样才讲出口的哦...(ok la,有时候又的确是夸张了一点的...你自己调低,剪接一点那些话就ok了XD)别时常认为自己胖,真搞不懂女生为什么就算瘦到像条材酱还是讲自己肥...-.-"你真的不胖...不用刻意去减肥哦!!自然就是美...you know?还有希望你可以打败那些"懒细胞",和随时keep着好好的mood,酱我就不会那么担心了,也会很开心.

我答应过你的事情,一定会去做的...会听你的话不留长指甲和须,准时剪掉...你知道我不会骗你的啦.最后希望你在英国能有个开心,完美的经验!考试顺利,生活没烦恼!有什么不开心的事,就在MSN或Skype和我说吧,然后我就会把那些不好的,烦恼的统统丢掉,留下美好的,开心的给你keep.回来槟城以后记得要飞鸽传书...不是,是飞电波传sms来通知通知我哦.我会一直都想念你的...

一路顺风!!

哈哈...是不是很感动一下咧!可是别哭哦.你在那边哭我看不到的.要哭也收着那些眼泪等我见到你时才哭哦.XD 开玩笑的啦!要笑,开开心心的笑,因为你笑的时候是最甜,最美,好看的.

大眼姐弟 ^^, 我姐是不是很cute leh!

p/s : 我知道我扮cute的样子很欠打,可是请接受这张脸啦,以后我都会是这个pattern的了.XD

少年金句

回想起以前中学时代,口末遮拦,张开嘴巴讲的好几句话有时候可以是全部都是不好的东西,也有时候是一些非常好笑的经典名言。以前常在晚上和三五好友(or猪朋狗友)一起坐在家附近的 mamak 喝茶。喝茶相信是无论年轻或年长的人都喜欢的一个活动吧。就这样,每晚都喝茶,就在这时练得了等级蛮高的“吹水”技巧。可是,现在想谈的并不是喝茶吹水时说了些什么,而是以前常和朋友交谈时除了粗口以外常用的一些趣话。

(以下的常用语将会以它的常用度,杀伤力和讽刺性加以本人的意见评分,*****为满分。)

1 我系天煞孤星
常用度:***
杀伤力:**
讽刺性:****
使用者:King


如果从有很多朋友或者有女朋友的人口中说出,就明显是在酸其他没有女朋友的人。从一些没有女朋友而且也没有能力去找到一个的人口中说出就是自我安慰。是无论从什么人的口中讲出来都对自己和别人不好的一句话。
*附带一提,讲这句话的人现在 已经有了女朋友。

2 你都痴胶花
常用度:****
杀伤力:****
讽刺性:**
使用者:Alan


其实和痴线(神经病)是一样的。可是,不懂得人会以为你介绍他这份工作,所以可以用来误导别人而同时是骂着他神经病。既然已经是当面讲你痴线,就不讽刺了。可能你会有点觉得自己失败,或了这么多年才知道自己是白痴,而且还是别人告诉你的。


3 -借口系列- "我不可以去哦,我的婆婆当天要结婚,你们玩的开心点啦!"
常用度:*****
杀伤力:**
讽刺性:****
使用者:Hong


有时朋友或家人约你出外,是不是好想不去?想在家多陪自己的电脑,电视或动漫或者找周公谈心?那你就要用我们鸿爷首创,用之不尽的-借口系列-了。其中最经典的就莫过于这句。结婚是人生大事,更何况是每人家里的其中一宝(家有一老,如有一宝)的婚礼,就算给你多大的面子也不可能不去自己婆婆的婚礼吧!你听见这个,还会不会猛扯着你的朋友要他和你出去呢?还是祝他的阿嘛有情人终成眷属啦...

4 真系顶你唔顺
常用度:****
杀伤力:*
讽刺性:*****
使用者:本人


看起来简单的一句话,其实是不简单的。顶你,就是忍你,撑你,X你。对不同的人来讲顶有不同的意思,刚刚随便举例就有三个不同的意思了。当你讲这句话时,就是说你的“顶”已经到了极限,你对那个人已经服到五体投地,已经没有再与他反驳的余地了。最重要的是,他被你“顶”了,因为有那么多意思,他也会想到底你是什么“顶”...如果觉得不够候,可以在真系顶 你唔顺,空位处加个"尻"字.
edited:("尻"字基本上是广东话5大粗口之一,读GAO)

鸡啊!/鸡的!/鸡!(GAI)
常用度:*****
杀伤力:*****
讽刺性:*****
使用者:全部人


鸡(读广东音-GAI),不只是食物那么简单,当一个人被称为或被形容为“鸡”,就表示那个人差劲,弱鸡,无能,白痴,低B,甚至可以是完全没有存在的价值。明明开汽水盖这么容易的事情可以被一个人搞得好像很难开酱,这就是“鸡”。走走下路可以踩到石头跌倒,这就是“很鸡”。整大个人站在你眼前你还问他在那里,这就是“鸡到...”

Penang Food Trip ~Day 2~

Alright, before u know it, it's Day 2!!well things aint really gone according to plan, as we've "underslept" by almost an hour. Alarms were set to 8am but seems like everyone's rise and shine at 7am. Reason differs for everyone though...

Kent : Erm...Not really used 2 foreign bed...
Juin : it was too cold...Brun u roll sushi..i cant get enough blanket..
Steph & Viv : Very Cold...
Chuen : Got weird sound eh...Dunno who's voice...

Me? I was the only one who seems to have no problem sleeping there...I rolled myself with blanket afterall. =p sorry Juin!

Ok. Lesson learned...Room temp was set to 5'C. (I doubt the air cond can provide d temp,but it's d lowest) So it was then tuned up for the night after. Lesson 2, ppl that sleeping on d same bed with me shud wake me up if I ever "roll sushi"...=p

So after a morning shower and suitably groomed, let's head for breakfast!!!

The place is a morning market, somewhere near kek lok si, another tourist attraction point in Penang island. Traffic's pretty dense here, so be advised to park ur car around designated parkings near the market ourskirt. Any attempt to park closer to d market will result in scratches on car, unable to get out of car and possible ran over by city's buses.

The Food

After a short strolling, we came to a narrow road, where the long running famous curry mee resides.


The "ah mah"s. They're 1 of the few who still cook with charcoal stoves.

This stall is so well known that it made it to many food journals and news strips of Penang's famous food, as 1 of the oldest established curry mee stall that's still selling well now. A little chatter with the grannies revealed that their masterpiece may not last for another 10 years, as thr's no one to inherit the stall. So if u're visiting in the not too distant future please look this place! Introducing the "ah mah"s...Like they're statues.

The yummy curry mee. The best that I've tasted so far.

After that, we went for another famous local delicacy that's few steps away from the stall.
The label said it all. In case u're too dumb to read, it reads "Brined duck's guts".

The food itself. It's well marinated in the soup, thus extremely flavourful.

After the delicious duck, we were going to have to Penang's most famous Asam Laksa which is again, few steps away from the duck place. Sadly it would not start selling until 11.30am. So off to the attraction spot!

Kek Lok Si

You can walk ur way up here from d morning market, like we did. But if u're too lazy to move ur flab infested body then u might just drive ur way up to the top and walk down...and up again.

Yes, the "inclined lift". A lift which is inclined.^^,

At some point u'll have to take the inclined lift to get to the top of the temple, where the magnificent, under construction bronze "Guan Yin" statue resides. The ticket price's RM4 (2 ways) for adult. Or u can buy urself a 1 way ticket to the top if u plan to spend d rest of ur life there. XD

Once on top, the 1st thing u'll see is 12 statues laying around the green green grass area of the temple, each representing an animal from the 12 chinese zodiac.

4 pigs.

飞跃青春!!!差D飞落个池就真...

The magnificent Guan Yin statue. What's under construction was a "Hut" to shield her from the sun i guess..

My "ah 4". How come he wears shades but I don't?Well my eyes r perfect.

Bukit Bendera


Ok, we're done with Kek lok Si. But it's still not 11.30am...So we'll head to another T.A.P (tourist attraction point), the flag raising hill. Bukit Bendera it is XD

The fountain near entrance.

It's so crowded here at the ticket counter it has to be closed for another hour. Actually the cable car to d top runs on a schedule, so if u're so happened to get here at d wrong time...tough luck. So wait it is...There's a "Mini Museum" here u can visit meanwhile...a reall Mini one.

"I wonder if I could take it home..."

It's a long, long way up there. Not surprising if u're going up, 692 metres above sea level.

What u get to see when u're up here. The stunning view of the whole Penang Island...at least the civillized part.

Enjoying d view here~

Poor Chuen had no idea what's coming his way...

"I wonder if I can take this home too."

Ok, enough of sight seeing and cool air. After hours walking around under the sun, it's time to enjoy the much anticipated Asam Laksa...Have to go all the way back to the market then.

Excellent. Worth every single steps.

Gurney Plaza


After the meal, let's get to somewhere with air-conditioning, finally. The place is none other than Gurney Plaza, another prestigious establishment here, another being Queensbay Mall.

I expect anyone with eyes to read this.

We came across "Wong Kok Kitchen" and I insisted we get 1 of these...

"BO LO Bao" this with butter as core.

and...
Egg Tarts.

After that, let's have our dinner for real. Also meeting up with 1 of our friend who's currently studying in USM. The place is called "House of steamboat".

woops! should be town of steamboat then...but the translation is awfully wrong.

This place ain't really has one of the best steamboat cum barbeque I've ever been to in term of taste. But it has the best variety of choices though. You can find...

What?ain't we dipping our raw food into the soup in steamboat already?? These are with wooden skewers, mind u.

Too darn much choices of raw meat...nice.

Oh they have salad bar as well.

And dim sum???@.@ U wouldnt find this in KL...I mean steamboat places with dim sum.

And steamed crab!!?

Even SHARK FIN!!?!?

Ok,something less surprising, finally.

All these costed a mere RM17.90. It's worth every penny...

Trivia

1. Bring along an umbrella or sun block if u planned to visit the above mentioned places.

2. The market is filthy, crowded with both people and vehicles. Watch ur step there.

3. There's 2 Asam Laksa stalls at the market. Choose the 1 near the outer wall of the market, with a sigh "Ayer Itam Asam Laksa"...I think.

4. The ride to the top of Bukit Bendera costed as much as the inclined lift. But it's one way ticket is RM1 more than the inclined lift's.

5. The temperature is lower on top of Bukit Bendera.

6. The BO LO bun in gurney plaza's Wong Kok's Kitchen is selling very, very fast. Make sure u're there early in the morning of afternoon if u wanna get some.

7. There's standing air-conditioner at some tables at "Town of steamboat". Needless to say it's d best seat u can get.

8. We spent our day 2 night playing guessing games.

Penang food trip ~Day1~

* Before starting this entry, there's a few person I'll keep mentioning till the end of the trip, which is...

from left, Kent, Juin, Stephanie, Chuen, Vivien, and of course me.

It was 2 weeks ago...when Kent, Yi Juin promised to pay my fren n i a visit. Living here ain't easy, as u don't get to see ur frens regularly, back thr in kl almost every weekend must have a night out with yam cha group. So it's a thrill to see them again, eventhough not the entire group.

But then along came a surprise. Stephanie and Vivien has tagged along as well! Both of them has a reputation of counting themselves out of events most of the time, even if they've promised to join earlier. (oops sorry girls, but u 2 really let me down a few times be4) XD

So after picking me up from work, we head to pick Chuen up. And after a round of recalling the old roads and ways to get around by Kent (he's the driver cum "GPS") and got into the wrong road, come back out and back on track, we reached gurney drive and picked Chuen up, of course with say a 20 minutes of waiting. So after he got on the car, the twins popped up and surprised him!! Though he just replied with a cold "hey! hello." greeting. Maybe he was expecting them all along? Anyway, now the food!!!

The place we had our dinner at. It's located in Ayer Itam, but more specifically, it's near sunway hotel.

First we searched for the reputedly most delicious char kuey teow in penang, among the least who's still using charcoal stove to stir fry the delicacy. But sadly she was having a day off. So we have resorted to the alternative, another char kuey teow stall, which is also not bad.Char Kuey Teow (non charcoal stove fried)

Other than that, we've also ordered a few famous local delicacies, such as

"Hokkien mee". A.k.a Har Mee in other places.Again, with "Lor" soup. I like this better somehow.
"Orr Jien". Which is basically osyter cake fried with eggs. You may have this somewhere else, but it's nowhere as good as in Penang. "You Yuu Ong Choi". Cuttlefish with kangkung.
Curry Mee. This is from 1 of the famous stall in Ayer Itam, for its curry mee. Roasted Chicken Wings. yummy =p
Another yummy porridge.=p If you are a pork and its gut's fans.
And after meal, we go for the dessert stall.
The local's favourite dessert stall, selling sweet soups.

The noted delights are
"Bai Guo T'hng". Gingko sweet soup. Though im not a fan of ginko, this suits my appetite =p
"Xin Ren Cha". Almond sweet soup. Taste kinda funny, but nice.

And after the full and scrumptious meal, we went g Hotel for a little "camwhoring".
g Hotel
g Hotel main entrance

Back to g Hotel again. This is a good place to have a look at, it's architecture and interior design is stunning. It'd be a nice place to stay if u're gonna spend ur vacation in Penang, if u can afford the rates. (Normally priced at RM400++ per night)
lobby. 1 thing to note is the colour changing bar top lighting. Also featuring its comfortable and stylish couches.
Start by testing the comfortability of the couch =p

The ladies~

SIDE STORY!!!

U're probably tired of watching all those photos above. Now let's relax a bit and enjoy a 3 picture based comedy ^^,Situation : A man (acted by me) was talking on his cellphone while he was confronted by 2 phone salesman. (acted by Kent and Juin)

Salesgirl :"Mister mister, wa i saw the way u talk to ur phone very handsome o! but i got another phone that when u use it it make u look more handsome!like Wu Zhun u know?!?"
A man :" WA! got shadow mou!let me see what kind of phone so ba bai! now i holding it got become a bit like Wu Zhun or not?"

Salesgirl :"Got!just holdin it d face ady changing, imagine talking with it!"

A man :" LOL...how much?"

Salesman :" hehe....u whr got look like Wu Zhun...u look like Choi Shan Yeh tim la..."

A man :" Hello?Wu Zhun speaking...hehe..."
Salesgirl :" Wa...teramat sangat handsome oh...buy d phone is a wise choice mister!"
A man :" Soo desu ka? WAHAHHAHA...."

Ok...it's a lame story. Well let's continue....
"全家福" Without Chuen

Chuen's finally here! Let's take another 1.
g Hotel's swimming pool site, 3rd floor.
Swimming pool. Dont swim too near to the edge...Know what's a waterfall?

Alright, it's time to go back to our hotel. Ain't we staying at g Hotel? Nah, we fancy somewhere beach side...so we chose Tanjung Bungah Resort hotel.

In Hotel
Uno!!What's a vacation hotel night without card games?.....Well it's a vacation hotel night without card game then. =p This deck of Uno card is obsolete after we've been introduced to much more fun, interactive games.
Tadaaa!!It's Chuen birthday!!because of all the food just now we are not able to finish a whole cake. So 5 pieces of assorted Secret Recipe's would be just fine.
"I wish I can have another 100 wishes" Greed is good.
Well this concludes our 1st night. There's more to come in Day 2!! Stay tuned!! (^^.)V

Trivia

1. Stephanie and Vivien are actually non-identical twins. In fact, they are triplet, their bro wasnt here.

2. The sweet soup stall has their own designated customer's seatings. If you were to dine at another part of the hawker centre then you would have to get your desserts in take aways.

3. The curry mee is really HOT!

4. g hotel lobby has some really sleek designer's couch and chairs that would change after a period of time.

5. There's much colour changing lighting in Penang other than this bar top. Look for "Suntech" building and "Penang Times square" building.

The Sire Museum Restaurant

Well, I think I should write about this place while my memory of it is still fresh, and now I have quite an indefinite amount of time to spend. (Im waiting for the generous but not so right timing rain to stop, so I can safely drive my way to the nearest KFC and get my meal...Im starving. T.T)

Well as the title suggest, this place is a restaurant cum museum. It was once the home of the great Yeap Chor Ee...Who's that? Well sadly I have no idea who he is. I just know that he is no longer around and he left a great house for some people with great business mind to change it into a fine restaurant. This is definitely a place you would want to bring your girl friend to a scrumptious dinner and enjoy the posh, and serene dining environment.

The place is located at King's Street, Penang. I'll tell you specifically how to locate this place as I had trouble locating it too the first time around, even with the guide of a local. (Well she's the one who drive after all =p). When you're at King's Street, or "Lebuh King" as shown on the road sign, try to drive until you could see the main road which the road you're on is connected to. You should be able to see a large field with a lot happening. (Or not, depends on if there's any event there.) On your left should be Great Eastern building and your right, a row of shabby looking shop lot. (Im certain with the directions of the landmarks as it is a one-way street there.) Then, try to locate the restaurant itself : it is the 2nd shop on the shabby looking shop lot. Do not expect to see a big clear sign of the place too, and if you think of looking around for a supposedly big mansion like house then you'll miss you dinner.^^,

Yes, the interior of the restaurant. There's more to see at the back, but sadly photographing is prohibited beyond the arch.

I've been told that it's close to impossible to just walk in and get a table without a reservation on weekends, so I've phoned for a table at 6pm there the previous day. I guess I made it too early ^^" there's no one except us there. Anyway we could use some privacy and enjoy the view of the place without much disturbance. We can see reservation tags on each table, so booking is a wise move. Well as we sat down we took a look at the menu and ordered a few items.

Beverages : Lime smoothies & strawberry smoothies
Appetizer (complimentary) : Cheese toasted baguette slices
Main course : Spaghetti Carbonara & .... Snapper (Sorry to say I just can't remember the full name of the dish. I know it ends with "Snapper" alright)
Dessert : Walnut Brownies & Tiramisu

I don't know who's idea is this, the guy running the place or Yeap Chor Ee himself, but there sure is a lot of plants hanging up there.

Oh no...Please don't shoot me...Don't shoot me...alright alright shoot me^^, while i sipping this gigantic smoothy. (Don't get it wrong, the gigantic smoothy is just a camera trick)

So after a moment of chit-chatters and photographing, there comes the FOOD!!!

The Appetizer. Well i think it can do better than a burnt edge...But I like Cheese. So it gets a 7/10.

MAIN COURSE

Spaghetti Carbonara. Well except for the olive which she don't fancy, the dish is considered ok. 6/10.

....Snapper. Well I find this dish fantastic. The fish is cooked to perfection and the combination of herbs used in the salad and sauce is just nice. 8.5/10.

DESSERT

Walnut Brownies. This is a must try if you visit here. Both of us find it delicious. 8.5/10.

Tiramisu. Compared to the brownies, this is a lot less spectacular. Though if you're fond of smooth mousse like textured dessert you might find it good. 6.5/10.

Well after the meal, we went around g hotel, gurney plaza and finally back to g hotel for some after dinner stroll to "aid digestion", and had more chatting. So who's "she" I kept referring to the whole night you might wonder...revealing...

Tadaa!! On my right is the ever kind and lovely miss Phoenie Tam. a.k.a Miao miao. The driver and dinner date of the night. Isn't she lovely~ Isn't she wonderful~(Stevie Wonder) Peace (^.^)V

Trivias!

1. There's only 1 lavatory for lady and 1 for gentleman at The Sire.

2. The bar top of g hotel has a colour changing lightning decoration.

3. There's fish tanks in g hotel's lavatory.

4. Phoenie looks even better off photo.

Welcome ~irashai masu~

Recently 'revived' my interest in writing blogs. Somehow after reading 1 of my friend's blog has made me starting to wanna write again. Certainly not because of "well everyone's been doing this for ages so why not?" kind of thinking. But being 230km away from homeland and stucked in a house full of emptiness, not to mention sharing a same room with 3 manly, topless guys somehow you'll start to do something out of ordinary, such as reviving some long lost ability...and i don't mean "heroes" kind of ability. But don't expect to see updates frequently. I'd usually only write when im had all the time in the world to spend on nothing---> when im bored. Or there's history in making...or made, something i consider memorable and should be talked about.Well enough of pointless introduction, let's get to know me, shall we?

(i tend to mix a lot, i mean a lot of languages other than english in my future entries, so sorry for you who does not read chinese, japanese, and bahasa malaysia. ^^, but don't feel blue, there's not a lot of ppl who would click on my blog anyways, so u might be among the few who found this treasure! XD)

10月20日 時尚的追求者
宮位:天秤座26º-28º
天秤天蠍座
本位的風像

10月20日出生的人隨時隨地都在注意什麼東西正在滸,什麼東西已經過時,對時尚品味非常第三他們在這方面的影響力非常大,甚至還能起而引導滸,然而有趣的是,他們也常常發現自己和社會的標準或時尚"犯衝"。(not really...i do know what's in trend and what's not, but seldom follow suit and ended up becoming fashion victim. Comfort comes first in choice of clothes, though it'd still be somewhat fashionable.)

他們心中總有著強烈的欲望,希望被人接受與贊賞,並且對整個社會環境產生影響,所以如果舞臺的燈光沒有照在他們身上,也就是說當他們不是眾人注目的焦點時,心靈上會深受打擊;而挫折、困難和耽擱,則會使他們情緒消沉。(ok...well i do hope that things i do would get approval and recognition from others, most of the time. who doesn't? don't mind letting someone else steals the spotlight off me though.)

今天出生的人多半過著雙重生活,他們將事業視為純賺錢工具隻願意在嗜好上投入表現自我的創造活力。如此一來,因為他們的心思全擺在其他地方,所以並不怎麼在乎自己的正職,但是或許也正是因為這種"袖手旁觀"的態度,使他們得以保持客觀,反而成為他們成功的關鍵。( close to the truth. i could take on a job i like less for the sole reason of getting huge pay. but not the job i hate. other times i can invest on things i like to do~)

今天出生的人通常在物質領域的成就非凡,對於金錢和理財頗有兩刷子,甚至還會沉溺於其中。他們也是稱職、頗有纔能的經理人纔,可惜往往因為體弱多病,使得許多計劃都受到限制而無法執行。他們對於各種有形事物的看重,使得這類主題不斷地在他們的生活中出現. (@.@ is this a curse of the oct 20s'? prone to illnesses eh...well life isn't meant to last without exciment and meanings. "ren sheng you ji duo ge shi nian?" living life to the fullest is all that matters.)

這群人的腦筋頑固無比,一旦下了決定,就非得貫徹執行不可,絕沒有絲毫退讓的空間。所幸他們的態度非常明理,對於情緒的控制能力也相當不錯,所以隻要有道理,他們就可能會接受;如果能有實際的範例就更好了,這樣他們即使一開始不能接受,最後也一定會就心采納。至於能否學會誠懇地認借,則是他們向前跨越的重要關鍵。(ok, this is right...i rarely plan or set my mind to something, once it's set, rest assure it's gonna be done. i love to argue bout things people told me if im uncertain about it, but given valid explanations and proves, i'll of course accept the fact even if it contradicts my belief.)


這一天出生的人非常重視自己的外表,而時尚、風格和設計,則是他們表現獨特個性的必備工具。無論他們的職業是否涉及滸領域,他們都很在意自己的外在形像,也難怪無論是親友或同事,都會對他們留下非常深刻的印像. (yes. dress to kill. grooming before leaving the house is a must when going out for special occasions or weekend hangouts, but not take away lunch or dinner. dressing up chic and good looking is sort of a courtesy.)

幸運數字和守護星
10月20日出生的人會受到數字2(2+0=2)和月亮的影響。通常數字2代表的是溫和、優雅、富想像力,此外也相當敏感易怒,不太能受刺激,很容易因為他人的批評或忽視而受傷。月亮、金星(天秤座的主宰行星)和冥王星(天蠍座的主宰行星)的結合,使他們經常受到財富和官能性享樂的強烈吸引。(erm...im not really that sensitive to critism and other comments...i'll self filter all the bad and uneasy comments that is said solely for the purpose of hurting me will not reach the deeper part of my thought, but constructive ones will. However it would if it's from someone important to me.)

健康
今天出生的人有時會遭遇到不尋常的健康問題,所以必須在飲食與生活上小心地照料自己,否則會引發身體功能障礙之虞。他們對周遭環境非常敏感,因此罹患各種過敏、氣喘、關節炎和免疫繫統方面疾病的機率也會增高。這一天出生的人若能針對飲食習慣做必要的改變,將會有很大的幫助,例如,采用無膠飲食、祛除乳制品和過敏物質所導致的痰。劇烈的運動能適度排除體內積存的毒素,不過更積極的作法,還是遠離食品添加物和防腐劑為妙。人體的生物性活動,例如性愛或生兒育女,可幫助他們腳踏實地、保持穩定。 (oh...so sex helps..^^")

建議
注意身體的基本需求,不要犧牲掉自己的健康。腳踏實地,確定並澄清自己在所處環境裡所扮演的角色。得意忘形會讓你失去朋友。

塔羅牌
大秘儀塔羅眚的第20張是"審判"。這張牌鼓勵當事者拋開物質上的束縛,尋求更高境界的靈性生活。牌面的圖案是吹著號角的天使,像征負有重任的嶄新的一天。這張牌正立時代表具有超越自我,發掘無窮潛力的正面特質;牌面倒立時則代表;號角聲多半報喜不報憂,容易沉溺在歡樂的追逐中,並且缺少面對憂傷的能力。
