hEEEE....went to WATAWASHI to splurge and binge a little ... 'x'

actually WATAWASHI isnt a new establishment. in fact, before this there was a HANAMI at exactly the same place.in fact,the interior is still the same and even the staff working there...hehe.so i guess there was a change of management or something lo.or maybe a japanese feng shui master came and said O O HANAMI NO GOOD! MUST B WATAWASHI!

ok.back to the food...  :P

we ordered a BENTO SET which came with beef steak,some maki,a bowl of miso soup,honeydew and a dono wat pickle which tasted BAD ..cos it was TOO sour and TOO spicy...bleaghs...

all this............for RM45.not bad la.

then we 2 hiau lorr...and ordered a SASHI SUSHI. actually we had no idea what it was.from the picture, we thought it was some sort of sushi combination....and then TA DAHH!! it was with rice...and we even ordered an extra bowl of rice..WA WA...really ate till wanted to xplode.

luckily my sister came later ...and helped us a bit.but she ordered 8 makis ..and we all ended up STUFFED TO THE BRIM!

but i really like the sashi sushi tho...its actually rice topped with few pieces of raw salmon,tuna,egg,cucumber and some sesame seed.i love it! will go back there to try this SASHI again..hehe

 

What's a japanese meal without green tea???

 

Sashi sushi..YUM YUM...

 

Pickles...which came with....er.........im not sure which one it came with...i think it should be complimentary kua ^_^

 

Diced beef steak with fried assortment of beansprout,cabbage,carrots and egg.It tasted like cha kueh teow 'x' but the beef is nice!

 

My miso soup with a reflection of the lighting.now you get a feel of how the lighting in the place looks like 'x'

 

The makis which came with our bento set.and you could also see the 3 slices of honeydew behind :P

The yucky pickle

Cat at work

Once again.....its my cat .... doing her nightly prowl again!

Well..its not my fault really that i always blog about my cat's icky habit of catching and eating animals... :P but its just that its always such a coincidence that she would catch something right in front of me when im outside and when im having my camera with me...this time..i think shes pretty successful.....SHE CAUGHT A RAT!!! bravo!!! thats the whole purpose of us bringing her into our house in the first place.

But unfortunately, she has always been out of the house ...night and day. And sometimes...she didnt even come back for dinner...and my mom was always complaining abt that USELESS cat...hehehe

She was very happy tho (my mom,i mean) when she heard that my cat has caught a rat.But i told her ... don't you realise that she only comes back here to catch rats for you when its raining??? cos she cant go out when its raining...kekeke...

we suspect she has a cat boyfriend out there whom she spends ALL her time with when its not raining...wahahahah

There's something about this traffic light

I was driving home from work on Friday evening and while i was stopping at a certain traffic light along jalan Song...hmmm i thought that the traffic light looked a bit weird....i studied it for a while and oh my goodness....

 

look at this!!! can you spot the WEIRDNESS??? *giggle*

 

Makan Angin

on Saturday morning...i went to 7th mile to ... well..MAKAN ANGIN lo...in hokkien its...CIAK HONG...mandarin..its CHEK FUNG..in english its...erm...EAT AIR??? lol...

I think it has been a loooooong time since i last set food in the town of KOTA SENTOSA (aka 7th mile). And i was surprised that i got a culture shock while i was there...wahahaha...

the arrangements,the look and the feel of all the shophouses there really really reminded me of SIBU TOWN bo!!!...it is very weird to feel as if i was in sibu when in actual fact, i was just few kms away from kuching...

and ...the TRAFFIC also reminds me very much of sibu town cos they were like erm....DRIVE CHIN CHAI LAI ...wahahahahhah ... my apologies to those who stay there...but that's just what i saw ...kekeke...

oh yea!..and i spotted RED SPONGE MOBILE at Kota Sentosa...it is a small world after all...wahahaha

here are some random snapshots of KOTA SENTOSA

Oh! btw...i managed to catch my first glimpse of the "NEW" KUCHING AIRPORT...since Red Sponge has already posted some photos on the interior...i will post some photos of the exterior..wahahaha...kia su mah! 'x'

And here are some random snapshots from yesterday... :)

Taiwan Sausage from JADE POT TEA HOUSE... price : rm2.50

'Stockinged' dog spotted at Jalan Stutong...price : FREE! come and catch it if you want to...wahaha... i just took a photo of this dog cos i find it rather amusing to see all 4 of his legs (...or isit paws?) blackened with mud..kekeke...looks like he's wearing socks doesnt it???wahahaah

I was really glad that i've accomplished so many things and went to quite a number of places yesterday....that's how a SATURDAY should be spent! :)))

Ohhh how i miss you so...

YOU ARE HERE AT LAST!!
oh you wont know the anticipation and excitement i had while waiting for you...WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG???


oh WEEKENDS .. i love you so!

'x'

wahahaha...its the weekends once again...ISNT IT GREAT??!? there's a whole 2 days of waking up late, in front of me...OH WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THIS??? :)

That is how much i love weekends!

Every saturday morning ... i would automatically wake up at 7.05 (thanks to my trusty biological clock) and start to panic that I WILL BE LATE FOR WORK. after 1/2 seconds...ohh! i will realise that ITS SATURDAY!!! wahh!! i really love that feeling.

once the realisation of it being saturday sank in...immediately i would go back to sleep GLADLY...

i think its a pity why i should repeat that kind of routine every saturday morning. My brain has already been 'trained' to JUMP OUT OF BED at 7.05am everyday n to quickly rush to the bathroom to wash my face so that there wouldnt be any possibility at all of me sinking back to dreamland again.

AHHHH THE AGONY!!!

Anyway, its Saturday!!! and lets make the best out of it!! Plan something...DO something...and most important of all ...HAVE FUN!!! :)

New Toy

I've bought myself a NEW TOY!!! YAYYY!!!

I think there's nothing as therapeutic as buying stuffs for yourself...hehe...

Well.. i recently bought a new set of speakers!!! and boy!! am i in love!!!

i really love this set of speakers ... its SUPERB...its CHEAP! its VALUE FOR MONEY!!!

and its small!... the speakers are only around 7cms in height and 5 cms in width but the sound it produces...I TELL YOU!.. its HOT!

the bass is there...everything and omg..its so cheap!ok..did i repeat that twice already?? :D

definitely a THUMBS UP.. no no ! WAIT! ..make it a TWO THUMBS UP! its that good...well of cos, you cant compare it with those high end speakers la i think...u kno, those rm200+++ and above ones...

but my gawd! its only RM50 OK??? a steal or wat??? :)

Chap Goh Mei Unlimited Lunch

We celebrated Chap Goh Mei at Mei San Restaurant last sunday...

This is the 2nd that i've had the unlimited lunch at mei san and im still giving it a thumbs up! :)

I thnk the normal price is around RM27/pax..however, due to the Chap Goh Mei celebration .... the price went up to RM30/pax and not forgetting the ++ .. hehe..

The unlimited lunch only serves chinese cuisine and all you have to do is to order from a list of dishes. The menu is categorised into few categories such as seafood,chicken,err..i gez theres vege..but i remember this category called DESSERT best of all! *giggle*

For an all you can eat buffet i think they r offering quite a variety of dishes to order...

You may order as many rounds as you like but ..... you may only order as many as 8 dishes at one time .. i think 'x'

well...i wasnt doing the ordering ..so im not too sure..hehe..i was just in charge of the eating..and not forgetting paying of my share :(

among the many many dishes that we've ordered..and by many, i mean..like A LOT ... i love the tau hu best of all!.. i think its nice! i think it was the ..ermm...BRAISED BEANCURD WITH MINCED MEAT.

hmm then ho...which other dish i like ho..........erm......................oh! the STIRFIED VENISON IN XO SAUCE is good! but i din taste any XO taste lerr...hmm oh well..

Anway, these are just my favourites... the others r quite good too!..

I strongly recommend Mei San's unlimited lunch if you have a good appetite and you could go for lunch as early as 11am ...cos the buffet starts at 11am and the last order you could make would be at 1.30pm.

hmmmmm if there is a time period for you to make your order...then why isit calld UNLIMITED lunch??? khik!

oh!...and theres a side table serving desserts like fruits and best of all.........ICE CREAM!!! YAY!

i believe these werent there the last time i went. and there were a few new dishes that i didnt see the last time i went too! :)

hmm to tell the truth ... im quite out of words to describe the buffet...i should have blogged about it as soon as possible ..arghh...!!!!
anyway...i would just let my photos do the rest of the explaining... ;p

Complimentary steamed peanuts

Menu Page 1 ..arghhh i think i forgot to try the dim sum... :(

Menu Page 2

Menu Page 3

***hehe am enclosing pictures of the menu so that you could plan properly what you want to order if you do decide to try the UNLIMITED LUNCH. believe me you... you need proper planning in order to make sure you've ordered everything that you want to try...hehe...

Sze chuan style fish fillet

Butter prawns!!! yum yum!

Table for 2

Ahhh..another VDay post from me... :)

okie...so here's the hilite...

WHAT I DID ON THE NITE OF V DAY?????????

instead of spending a fortune on the SPECIAL V DAY dinner with exorbitant prices...we decided to go the OLD FASHIONED way...YUP! home cook is the way to go!!

And the chef for the nite is ..................... none other than your truly ... hehehehe...

well... i m no professional cook and i don cook much actually since most of the cooking at home is done by my mom..hee...so..don xpect too much from me...wahaha

ok..so whats on the menu???

i present to you...................

SPAGHETTI PINKCOTTINO MUSSELINO

hehe..gives it an italian touch doesnt it?? :)

After a little amount of hinting...my parents understood that i need the house to myself and they were off on their on for a romantic outing while i HAD THE HOUSE ALL TO MYSELF FOR MY EXPERIMENT...WAHAHAHHAHHA...

to create a romantic ambience... i lit a candle (courtesy of a friend...kekeke...) and took out the wine glass MINUS the wine :(

tried to put on some romantic music but.........i didnt know the cd player in the dining room was long time spoilt ..a.rgghhh

after busying myself in the kitchen chopping,grinding,frying,boiling...i looked terrible during the dinner...so much for creating a romantic mood...i wasnt feeling romantic at all! dang! keep mental note to self...DO TAKE A BATH TO FRESHEN UP AFTER PREPARING 'x'

Ta daaa...!!! Note : corny rosey tablemats NOT my idea 'x'

Up, Close and personal with S.P.M. (Spaghetti PinkCottino Musselino)

My blurry Mashed Potatoes...I LOVE THIS!

Cheers!!!

The Surprise on V Day

Valentine's day has come and gone ... doesnt time flies???

Well ... this morning, when i reached office...i could feel a different atmosphere....its as if everyone i meet was radiating with a sort of brightness and cheerfullness that i cannot describe...heeheee... it was rather amusing. But there was a certain someone who was feeling happier than ever...TEHEEHE...

ok..lets not get out of topic!

sooo on Vday... i got a looverly surprise on my desk the moment i reached office...WHY! its a valentine from my valentine! ^_^ how sweet! and how pleasant! khik

Lover's milk tea on Valentine's Day.what else could be more suitable than this??? :)

But that is not the surprise im referring to in my post title...well, that surprise happened during lunch...

I was happily eating away with my dear...and after finishing off the last morsel on my plate... n MMm Mmm virtually smacking my lips... GAKKKK...wat is that i see on my plate???????



Wowww...it seems that the owner of the tea house has surprised me with a pleasant serving of 'escargot aka snail' FREE OF CHARGE.isnt that so nice of him???? ...... NOT!

thanks to you.. mr shop owner, i was feeling nauseous the whole afternoon!

here's a valentine gift from me ...... MY FIST! *BOK*

Atlantis dono-whatsisname pizza

Went to pizza hut last weekend and i finally managed to try the new ATLANTIS pizza!!!

I think this is the newest addition to the wide range of pizzas offered by pizza hut...not including the yucky valentine pizza! 'x'

Well....as any tom,dick and harry might have guessed...ATLANTIS PIZZA means...SEAFOOD pizza..YAY! unfortunately, the only seafood i can see on the pizza is prawn...mmm...i think it should have been called PRAWN PIZZA or SHRIMP PIZZA... or HEI PIZZA (hei : hokkien for prawns).anyhow, it IS called ATLANTIS pizza.

The service offered by the jalan song outlet is really quite good.

Before your butts have even warmed the seats...the waitress would have come up to you and she goes like this..

GOOD EVENING!!! I AM *mumble mumble*. I WILL BE *mumble mumble* 2nite.MAY I TAKE YOUR ORDER?

once we've orderd the atlantis set meal for 2 person...i immediately turned to my bf to say...WHAT DID SHE SAY???

and he was shrugging his shoulders too..! so much for good customer relations...

tick tock tick tock...time flew by...
and still no pizza

finally another friendly waitress came and said...

"HELLO.your pizza just masuk oven.it will take another 15 minutes.so if you would like to *mumble mumble* salad.i can *mumble* get bowl for you"

i wasnt really sure what she was saying ... but i assumed that shes offering free salad for making us wait for the pizza...

i said no no no ...its ok! we will wait (partly,bcos i wasnt really sure what she was talking about)

then my bf said... erm..! can we have soup instead???

she said sure!

good service rite??? :)

oh! not forgetting that we were entitled to play the same old spinning game. There are 2 wheels with different pizza toppinsg and if you get a certain combination of toppinsg in both wheels...you r entitled to a certain free gift.

We managed to get a free pepsi which is quite cool since i looove to drink :)

Finally!!! the pizza arrived.

and our first reaction was YEAGH....BRINJAL ON THE PIZZA?!?!?!?

but our disgust was quickly replaced by approval as we had our first bite. it really is quite nice...especially the rather big prawns...mmmmmm... nice!!

what i liked most was the crust!...it was topped with parmesan chese and stuffed with mozarella..MMmMmMMmmMmM....simply mouth watering! espcially the crunchy parmesan on the outside.

Overall...i think its a good try...tho it would have done better with prawns,fish and cutlefish as toppings. I wonder whats brinjals doing on an ATLANTIS pizza?? hmmm...



The promotional err...leaflet??



Our free drink!~

Slurp!!!~~..i hope my ugly handwriting didnt make it look less appetizing 'x'

Anyway...heres a short blog...

Guess what i found in my front door when i reached home just now...???

My cat was chasing after something which was fluttering around ... i couldnt see what it is exactly. so i quickly ran inside to turn on the lights and ARGHHHH...it was a little birdie!!! I tried to make my cat stop by throwing some slippers at her head... hee... but she acted as if i werent there and continued to break every little bones in the little birdie's body with a dreadful CRUNCH CRUNCH sound....errkkk :( sorry litle birdie..i hope u rest in peace in birdie heaven...

Then i realised that i should have captured the scene on my camera...and i again quickly rushed inside to get my camera...and when i got out...my kitty has already swalllowed the WHOLE of the birdie ...what was left wat just 2 little feathers... and here it is ...




Can you see the little 2 grey feathers???

I wonder ... whats a little birdie doing out at 10.30 pm????

Love is in the air....

Hello!...long time no see...

How was your Friday??? My friday was pretty good!

Why??? you ask me???

hehe...tats cos Red Sponge, 13th Panda and myself went on a shopping spree RIGHT after work today....

WAHAHAHAHA...theres no better way to end the working week than to go shopping with nice people ... khik! ;)

But leiii...this time, we r doing sth different...that is, for once...we were not shopping for OURSELVES but for someone else....heehee...

Why???????

Cos its VALENTINE'S DAY soon! :)))

Isnt it sweet of us to go shopping for our bfs???? wahahaha...

OK..so this is what we did...

1. Buy wrapping paper and valentine's day card

First of all, there is nothing more important in present-buying than WRAPPING PAPERS! yes! and it must b CUTE and oh so sweet! secondly lei, you need a card..yup!

2. Shop for pressies!!!

Red Sponge wanted to buy a xxxxx for her dear so first of all we went xxxxx shopping. Sorry. i had to erm cover up what exactly Red Sponge bought just in case her dear does visit my blog. We had a hard time choosing a right pattern cos this Red Sponge dont even know what kind of pattern to buy for her dear wo!!!...13thPanda and me suggested this n that this n that...and not one did she like...finally...she managed to find that she liked! WOOHOO ... but lei... there wasnt a size big enough 'x'!

So she was feeling very bad cos she had already haulien-haulien asked the shop assistant to open it up and then she didnt want it!!!! tsk tsk tsk...

She gave up after entering a number of shops and finally we decide its time for .....................FOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD

We had sth new today....its .....SOFT SHELL CRAB BURGER ... have you tried it b4??? As for me, i've never even HEARD of it ,what more to say TRIED it.

It was quite erm...........................okla....worth trying,but i wouldnt call it DELICIOUS.It was really cute to see all the little legs sticking out of the burger.... Its quite cheap tho, only rm5.50..too bad i didnt bring my camera today. This was all planned impromptu-ly...so its just too bad...

heres...how the crab burger looks like :


It DOES looks like a little crab doesnt it???heehe

After recharging our energy...its time for our shopping again!!.. yay!

By this time, my feet was beginning to feel oh-so-NOT-great bcos of my mom's shoes that i was wearing....heee...so you see the SACRIFICES that we've made to buy great presents???

In our 2nd venue...ALAS!!! Red Sponge finally found a xxxxx that she's not very sure her bf will like...heeheeheee...

Next!!! Its time for 13thPanda's dear lorr...She bought erm...............something....... that ........... ummm...........we really had a time choosing. i had a red and itchy nose after tat...kekeke..but its ok! cos i am somewhat 'related' to her bf so its worth it! :D

Ok. so after crossing off Mr Red Sponge and Mr 13th Panda from our list...there's only Mr Pink Cotton to shop for...KHIK! ... well..............i wouldnt tell you what i bought.Cos the naughty Mr Pink Cotton DOES sometimes visit my blog ,even tho i have forbidden him to do so quite a number of times! I can only tell you this...mine took the SHORTEST time! I m a good shopper right???wahahah...or am i an IMPULSIVE buyer?? 'x'


We were all feeling really proud of ourselves as we walked to the car...we were holding our heads up high like Comrades who have just won a war...HO HO HO ... it aint easy to shop for guys i tell you! I am glad we took Red Sponge's advice to shop together and I am glad too that 13th Panda brought up the topic of valentine's day gift this morning... :)

There's nothing more effective in gift-shopping than to shop with a group of gals... i wouldnt say the same with guys... trust me, i kno how guys in a GROUP shop.

They will grab anything they laid their eyes on for the first 3 minutes that they r in the shop and TA DAHH! their shopping is complete...

BUT! i have to admit that gals get distracted easily....wahahaha...cos....Red Sponge and i just couldnt help ourselves from shopping for ourselves the whole time...hahaa! Lucky for us..theres 13th Panda who kept on making us keep on track...teehee...

I hope you guys out there had a nice time shopping for your dear loved ones! HURRY! there's still 4 days left!

Red Sponge .... 13th Panda ... we should do this again NEXT YEAR!

OMG!!!

OHHH my gawd!!! no new posts from me again?!?!!??!? Im so sorry... i just couldnt squeeze out time to post sth these few days...will try to blog 2moro...OK ??? OK????

2moro is TGIF day...YIPPEE~~~!!!

so till then!!

p/s this IS a new post, aint it???? :P

THE 500 MARK!

YAY~!!! my blog counter has finally reached 500!!! This calls for a celebration!!! YAYYY!!! pls pls pls leave me a comment or TWO~!!!! i lurve to hear from YOU!!!

I spy with my eyes and I saw.....

My name is Lizardo Reptilio and i live in the drain. Recently, there have been a continous stream of big LOUD sounds coming from the humans up above my drain that i just couldnt stand it anymore. Even tho i try to bury my head in the pile of mud in my drain, i still cannot manage to drain out the sounds...it is TERRIBLE!!!

Sooo...i finally climbed out from my drain just to see what those humans are up to. Upon my first step out of my drain, there was this stupid furry creature that kept on chasing me until i was tired. I ran and ran with my four legs and finally reached a quiet sanctuary with a roof that shielded me from the hot sun.

I was lying there...enjoying the hot sun when there was this human who kept on taking pics of me....OHHH!! when will i be able to have a GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP???

Cosmic explosion

Hi!!! These are some photos of the cosmic explosions which i have managed to capture with my intergalactic camera during my recent trip to outer space...
















teeheehee....really looks like some kinda cosmic explosions from NASA, dont they???

The good thing about living in malaysia is that...you could still see people letting off firecrackers and fireworks like CRAZY even tho these are illegal in malaysia. isnt it amazing???

at the strike of midnite on cny eve, everywhere you look...right,left,up,down,sideways...you could see colorful fireworks lighting up the sky...and it went NON STOP for at least half an hour.

i was recording all those fireworks on video...and the video were approximately 30 minutes long...tsk tsk tsk...

one lesson i've learnt tho.......NEVER spend your money on fireworks...cos there will always be OTHER ppl who will spend THEIR money on fireworks and who will burn them for YOU to enjoy!!!...so kind of them ,really... :)
