A long overdue post!

I'm contemplating abandoning my blog altogether...it just takes too much time to update and I've been feeling so lazy lately with the holidays around, I always feel so preoccupied! And with my BB, I can take photos and update them instantly on FB so I don't see the need to whip out my crap camera anymore. Haha! Hence, the very long absence :P

I almost forgot about these pictures i took with my camera. I'm at home on a Monday feeling the monday blues (this time its not about stress but about absolute boredom!) so i thought I should update my blog :)

Pictures from a wedding I attended about 3 weeks ago over @ Sheraton KL.

It was something out of the ordinary Chinese wedding we usually get..this time it was a mixture of Fusion with Korean elements since the bride was a Korean.


They had all sorts of flowers...roses, lilies, daphodiles..you name it, they have it! My mum was telling me the flowers alone cost about 10k. I was like OMG !! :O Apparently it's imported hence the very heavy price tag! :S

But it was seriously pretty!!


We were welcomed to our seats with a bottle of home-made marmalade and chocolates :)


I was so excited when I saw the menu for the night!!! Not your ordinary conventional Chinese food :D


For starters...honestly speaking, I didn't know exactly what they were until I read the menu but I licked them off clean. Hahaha it was good!! :D


Pumpkin soup !


Pei Pa chicken

This dish was pathetic but nevertheless yummy! I finished that salmon in a bite. The plate was huge but the portion was =.=


Escargots!!! This was also very pathetic..the menu said a 'BED' of crispy spinach but I only had ONE leaf =.= (I'm not exagerrating!!)


Stir fried Beef...its tiny I even had my mum's portion since she doesn't eat beef :P


By the time this came i was kinda stuffed already (the food took quite some time to come since they had to prepare and serve each person individually) so you know the theory where they say your brain takes 30mins to register that you're full? I think it's quite true! Haha.


I think this was the highlight of the night!!!!!

Red Velvet cake with White Choc icecream!!!! Ahh!!


I was stuffed by the time dessert was served but it was too good to resist I polished it clean!! They have this at Just Heavenly (outlets in Jaya One and BSC) but they sell it in cupcakes instead of a cake itself. Its real good all the more if you love cream cheese! As for me, I picked out the cream cheese at the top and just had the cake since i'm not a fan of cream cheese.

Good food, good night! :D

My mum and I.

14th June 2010 - The day I turned 22.

I think I'm so old already sighhh. They say that once you hit 20, your ages just passes by you in a jiffy :(

Didn't do anything exceptionally special.. just dinner with Ken dearie at Ampang Lookout Point!! :D


The view was beautiful!! Too bad my crap camera couldn't capture nice shots =.= it mostly came out all blurry :(

They were people armed with DSLRs heading up there just to take pictures. I bet their pictures will turn out nice hmph!


He didn't wanna tell me where he was taking me for dinner the day before..apparently it was a 'surprise'! lol. But i knew where we were heading once we were in KL! Hahahaha.

Finally been there after hearing all the hype about it :P

There were a few restaurants to choose from..we settled for the Western one. The food was not bad.

Grilled salmon with garlic sauce.


For starters - Fried Squids


Mixed Grill (beef, chicken, fish) with boiled vege and mash :)


I have to say the place is quite romantic with many couples around. Haha...although there were many families too. Quite packed for a Monday night.

We adjourned to another restaurant for a better view and some drinks. Also ordered a slice of cake which I pretended it was my bday cake, sang a song and cut it :P

The cake wasn't very tasty I think I can bake better HAHA. But it's the meaning in the cake that counts right :p


:D

I'd wanna go back to try the other restaurants and enjoy the view of course! It's a good place to hang out with friends, and of course loved ones :)

Okay I'm done updating for now, finally!

Dinner time! Tata!

Let the holidays begin!

Exams are officially over YAY!

The time I've been waiting for has come, with the dreadful period of exams and torture finally over and done with! :D :D

I couldn't be a happier kid!!

*grins*

I've got some pictures from a wedding i attended @ Sheraton KL last week..i was really impressed due to the fact that it was something out of the ordinary! No regrets by taking over my dad's place HAHA!

Updates soon I promise! ;)

Exam mania

Final exams starts tomorrow!!!

*wailsssssssssss*

Two papers on the first day at 8am (so early, gasps!!) and another at 2pm does not sound like a good start to exams! :(

A part of me hates having two papers on one day (my hands are gonna die, so is my handwriting!) but a part of me says its better for it to be over and done with!

Can't wait till my last paper on 9th june!! Ahh!!!

I counting down the days to freedom already :D

Wish me luckkk!!

Long overdueeee

I've been MIA for awhile now i've kinda lost the urge to blog these past few weeks!

Finals in less than 2 weeks and oh boy, have i got ALOT to study :(

Anyways, my long overdue post about my Penang trip almost 3 weeks ago like finally!

Attended a relative's wedding over at E&O. Apparently, one of the highest class hotels in Penang! O.O


The ballroom was kinda small compared to the one's in KL though.


Greeted with awesome scenery at the backyard during the pre-wedding cocktail event ;)



They even set up a 'CANDY BAR'!!!! All the kids went goo-gaaaa over it, including ME! :D


Table full of sweets, what more can you ask for? ;)


Typical wedding with the same old routine...bride walks in, everyone cheers, we eat, they give speeches, cut the cake.. yada yada.. oohh but one thing i remembered clearly was they had a real good live band serenading us with music whilst eating! :D Mann those people could really sing and play good music. Accompanies the food perfectly! ;)

The starters were something out of the ordinary..baby fried squids, papaya salad prawn and two other quite unique dishes (i can't rmb its been too long!)


And of course, shark's fin soup, MY FAV!! :D


Sweet sour prawns (the prawns were HUGE!!)


SEE!!


I missed taking pics of some dishes in between (it was quite odd actually taking pics in front of old people who can't wait to devour the food HAHA!) so i was abit paiseh :P

And of course, a Chinese wedding wouldn't be complete without Loh Mai Fan (Glutinous Rice!)
Its like a typical dish to serve I can't seem to figure out why.


And the wedding cake which was actually a fruit cake!


Pretty butter cookies to take home ..


I was quite bored halfway throughout the wedding hearing all the aunties talk, and my camera sucks so it couldn't entertain me much. Boo! (I WANT A NEW CAMERA FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!) Couldn't get the functions right and the pictures came out quite awful :(

Some of the slightly decent pictures :)


With granny!!


And sis! (too much flash urggh!)


The bride giving her toast!


There were so many pretty roses and I loved it so much i wanted to take them home! :D


Quite a night especially for my parents having able to meet all their old uncles and aunties and friends who they haven't met for ages. They kept telling me who that person is (trust me its hard to remember when they tell you how to call them in hokkien) and I realise i have so many relatives who i didn't even know existed =.=

I guess thats how Chinese families get so big sometimes! I'm probably related to someone in uni whom I don't even know and I won't be surprised! HAHAHA. Okay, maybe not that 'kua cheong' but you get what i mean!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Final week of class this week and I'm done for Year 2 WOOHOO! :D

But then to exams first before freedom.. sigh! Can't wait I've got so many things planned out! Eat, sleep and be merry! Hahahahhaa!

Okay I'm hyper now. Just got back from a friend's 'surprise' party and it'was so ironic how we were suprised instead of him =.=

I better sleep before I start crapping about how the night went. Gonna be internet-less for 4 days :(
But i'll be back with a bang i.e. a much much faster internet connection at 4MBps!! :D :D :D

Till then!

Food makes the world happy

My blog is dead, again cos I've been far to lazy to update.

I have a truckload of backdated pictures that i've yet to resize and edit and its accumulating over time but I'm soo lazy to do anything about it.

Anyways, I feel like blogging about food now so here's some foodie pics during my recent Penang trip! :D

My favourite 'oh chien' aka fried egg with oysters! Heavenly!!


Well, Penang is famous for their hawker fare, but I didn't bother taking any pictures since we can get it in KL anyway, taste better somemore!! But the oh chien looked too good I had to take it! :D

Otw to Penang we dropped by Bkt Tambun for some baked crabs with rice recommended by my dad's friend.

No regrets, it was something unusual.. the crabs were huge and succulent and the rice was so fragrant you can just eat it by itself!


We ordered the marmite pork ribs. I know it looks black and disgusting, but it was pretty good as well. The only complain I had was that there were more bones than meat =.=


And steamed fish with preserved radish! YUMs! I love chai po (preserved radish!)!!!! :D


So the detour was worthwhile at least we filled our tummies with good food! :D

Okay thats it for now. Sorry for ending so abruptly but i suddenly feel so sleepy!! *yawns*

Dreading law class at 9.30am tomorrow and exams in 2 weeks! *wails*

Penang Part II soon!

Will find time for updates soon okay? ;)

Penang baybeh!

Haven't found the time to update! Been so caught up with 'work'!

Just completed my assignment due on Monday. Hardcore the whole night okeh =.=

Thats because I wanna enjoy my trip to Penang this weekend for a relative's wedding! :D

How I <3 weddings..the time I get to doll-up! HAHA.

Penang never fails to impress me! Hopefully the food this time around would be better since its not CNY and there won't be any cut-throat hawkers! :S

Penang yay!! :D

I'd be watching IP Man 2 over at One U tmr before I leave to Penang in the afternoon! The first movie was awesome..hopefully this one won't disappoint!

Gonna be an awesome weekend woohoo!

Loadsa pictures I promise when I'm back!

byeeee!
