My X'mas celebration....

This year x'mas celebration was a lill busy.... I celebrated from 24th-27th . On the 24th i met up with my high school mates in a newly open irish pub in Tanjung Tokong. I had forgotten the name of the pub. The pub was not really crowded and they only had a simple countdown nothing grand... They didn't even give away party packc. No pictures for this countdown cos i didn't bring my camera along. The pictures was in my friend's camera.

On the 25th, I went last minutes shopping with Winnie, to get x'mas gift to xchange on boxing day. Then at night i had dinner with my family. My aunt and sis cook fish and chips and baked spaggetti.

The next day on the 26th, met up with my buddies to xchange gifts and dining. We were suppose to dine in Sire Museum but our buddy Melissa was in Tanjung Bungah, so we change our destination to Vintage Bulgarian.

The environment was not bad. They did not served ala-carte on that day. So we had to settled for the course meal. We ordered 3 sets instead of 4 bcos me and Melissa not really hungry. And we did the right choice for ordering 3 sets, cos the portion were quite big. First the appetizer:

Potato Leek Soup

They had 3 choices for the main dish... We try all the 3 choices:
Seafood SpaggettiGrill Combo- Ribs and chickenButter Fish

And dessert we had the chocolate moist cake:While waiting for the food to be served. We xchange gifts. I draw Winnie's gifts- a mausi (mouse)And Calynn draw my gifts- a parfume....And of cos we camwhore a bit oso..... but lazy to post up the photo here... but you can check out my facebook... Last but not least the group photo.Well, the night does not end here. We went to QEII after that. Since it's Ms Behave night. The exotic show started late that night. The hunky guys was dancing on the stage and walking around to take pictures with us the ladies. Hunky Santa

Of cos i wouldn't miss this opportunity and pose with one of the guys... ( lets hope hubby not reading this...ahahahha)

Tha's all for boxing day. The next day, on the 27th. I had a kenduri to attend in Alor Setar. One of my breakfast and sleeping kaki back in high school was engaged.

Dear Nurita and I

Why i called her one of my breakfast and sleeping kaki? Well back in high school, me, Nurita and Winnie reach school really early. We would take a nap, on the canteen table then we will have breakfast together. I never seen her since we left school. It was great to see her again and she was still the 38 girl i used to know. And i met other school mates in the kenduri too.

Berwarna-warni

That was my x'mas celebration for this year. And i've been wearing my New year clothes on these 3 days... wakakaka... So i dun have anymore new clothes on Chinese New Year ler...... :(

My 2008 birthday celebration

This year birthday was wonderful. Thanks for all those wonderful wishes from sms, phone calls, facebook, friendster and blog..

On the eve, hubby took me out for dinner at Secret Recipe just the two of us. I read in Ah Leng's food blog that the Meatball Spaghetti was not bad and i read someone else blog that the lasagna was oso nice. So i ordered this two dishes:

For dessert we share an oreo cheese cake. This is the first time i get to try the oreo cheese cake. A lot of times i try to order but it has finished. So i will order marble cheese cake instead. I still prefer marble cheese cake though.

On the day itself, actually in the morning me and Melissa are going back to our school - CGL to had the authentic Char Koey Teow. Winnie was on her MC leave so she decided to join us too. Unfortunately, the Char Koey Teow's stall was closed. So we settled for a dim sum at Macalister Road. After dim sum, they hang out at my place to online. They are going to tagged along with me and Vincy to the fish spa. But Vincy called and told me she will not be able to make it cos her mother-in-law was not around and she need to babysit her Princess Chloe.

So, the 3 of us went to Happy Feet in New World Park. I had my free session, and Winnie and Melissa had the 30 minutes session.A closer look at the fishes:

Apart from the FREE 30 minutes session, i was oso given a RM5 gift voucher.

After fish spa, we went back home. Later at night we came out again for dinner. This time with Calynn too. We went to had dinner at Feringghi Garden. A restaurant with very nice environment,

and oso nice foods. We ordered 4 dishes and shared:Baked Crab i assumed.. forgotten the exact name for this dish

Sizzling Lamb Chop - must try...this is delicious.. best among all Rosemary Grilled ChickenMongolian Sizzling Beef - ok but a bit salty

Nice environment like this is just a perfect place to camwhore:After dinner we went to Sunset Bistro it was located just behind Feringghi beach:

This place is very cozy a good place for drinking and chatting.

And they had the fire dance performance :

Happy Birthday Calynn Mummy.....Yes! She is mummy adi...One of the hot mummy i knew....

We celebrated with her earlier on the 11th May... She suggested to had seafood at Batu Kawan. So off we went all the way to Batu Kawan....When we reach there around 7 something...It was already so packed..... But lucky we didn't wait long to be seated..... This is the first time for me and Melissa to come here ( don't really like seafood...so troublesome to peels off those shells)....but Winnie and Calynn had came here before and they knew what's nice to eat.....

So they ordered:

This one the sauce very nice...too bad didn't order the fried mantao..Or else dipping the mantao with the sauce very yummy! And i nearly break my tooth cos eating the crab lo...

Last but not least.....This one is one of their signature dish....but i am not good at sucking "balitong"...

After seafood, it was still early so we went to Autocity.......but i will leave that for next post!

Mothers' Day Gift

Last week my division manager gave me a task to think of a promotion during mothers' day. So i was searching the net, for some ideas...

Nowadays business its not so good, so my boss not willing to dig out any money for any marketing campaign and he wan us to came up with a marketing campaign that he didn't had to dig out a single cents. That really crack our heads...... actually that was not part of my job...but my colleague mention that i had an incredible minds full with ideas......(aiseh) so they often ask for my opinions or ideas...

When searching online for some ideas...i came across an online flower shop...I told my "ah head" ... that most gifts for women are associated with flowers and chocolates ( this are for the budgeted 1 la..... expensive one would be DIAMOND).... Then i came out with this idea, gifts basket which will consist of flowers and a set of jewellery. Since my boss didnt wan to spend a single cents....i thought maybe we could find a flower shop to cooperate with us.... But i only got one week to find the flower shop and discuss the terms and conditions...I guess i had to think of another promotions and delay this project for future celebrations like birthday, Teachers' Day, Valentines' day and etc...so i told Fenn- our marketing exec...that I will propose this to my boss, and if he agree then she will need to find a suitable flower shop.

I didnt plan to propose this project myself as i dun wan to let my boss say i am overlapping other others job. But today when i was checking our company email... and i saw thisBird Nest & Chocolate Bouquet!

Bird Nest oso can be package into bouquet...... If i am not mistaken the price is RM 188.... If my mum still alive i will buy this for her........... The person that thought of this Bird Nest Bouquet was one of my boss's friend. My boss told me this guy alwis had the best ideas........

So you guys, get anything for your mum yet? If not, why don't you get this special bouquet!

Yippee! My windows was fixed!

Yeah, I can log in already! I repair my windows with the windows cd then scan all my files and folders with TweakNow. TweakNow is awesome, previously i scan it with AVG but couldn't completely remove the bugger. TweakNow remove it all...that means i dun have to reformat... But for safety purpose i backup all my important files.........

I'm so tired so not going blog about food yet cos lazy to upload pictures. Woke up early to work, usually on my working days i will take afternoon nap. But today i went to Shiang Lin Temple to honoured my mum, grandpa and uncle. Qingming festival is next month, not sure the exact date. But usually will celebrate it earlier to avoid traffic jams and crowds. Due to my mum's, grandpa's and uncle's ashes was store i the urn compartment in Shiang Lin Temple, the celebration was very simple. We do not have to sweep tombs or burn joss paper or paper-mache items. As the temple does not encourage us to burn all these, it was stated on the temple notice board that burning all these does not prove that our ancestors may received it instead it will pollute the air and we had to chop down more trees to produce these joss paper. I am totally agree with them. We jus have to remember our ancestors by heart.

It has been 2-3 years that i never celebrate Qingming festival with my dad. My dad's ashes was stored in one of the temple in Kelantan. Previously i did not went because of my health. Tis year was suppose to go with my sis but she won't be able make it cos she need to go to KL to work. Some ppl may think i am giving excuses for not going but not going doesn't mean i do not respect my dad or i had forgotten my dad. I remember my mum and dad always, doesn't mean i had to stand infront of their ashes only mean i respect and love them. I am a free-thinker to me all this festival is not one of my religious festival but more like a family gathering.

*yawn* getting sleepy...it's been quite sometimes i never sleep early. Yup! 11 something is still early for me...i usually will sleep at 1 or 2...... Good night ppl!

Jade Emperor's Birthday celebration

On the 8th day of Lunar New Year, the Hokkien will celebrate the Jade Emperor's Birthday in midnight. Since my grandma and my uncles could not celebrate the Jade Emperor's birthday for three years ( cos my grandpa's death), i joined my hubby family for the celebration from last year. This year i joined them too. Well, i am not the type that love praying or go to temples...i just join in to "lau juak" and "kay po"...hehehhe... Not much to write...check out the pictures...
This is oso a day that you would see lots and lots of fireworks. Especially the area at my hubby's house cos there were lots of temples around.
