Premium Lanes (Sunshine Square)

Hahahaha...so guess what, i was enrolled in my company's bowling tournament when i've never ever played bowling before =_=" I told my colleague noooo i m not going to join a bowling tournament when i've never played bowling before and make a fool of myself in front of everyone in my company, but he assured me i can learn how to play within 3 weeks.

But that is not entirely the case unfortunately :( For me as a left handed and a sports-retard I am having a hard time trying to grasp the whole concept of rolling a stupid heavy ball down the lane :(

Strawberries and such

This post is just about strawberries so i dont know i why named the post "stawberries and such". There is no "such" only strawberries...lol! but it does sound catchy...maybe someday i will open a cute little pink shop and call it "Stawberries and Such" kekeke

Cliptec Earphone

I know this is a weird topic for me to post. I mean come on, i never blog about earphones (of all things!). lol. but i m just so sentimental towards my old earphone that i just had to blog about this.lameee...

anyway, long story cut short, i bought a new spanky earphone to replace my 10 year old Sony earphones! can you believe it???? I've had my old earphone for TEN years!!! This is my new earphone...

Jenxdan Lifestyle Cafe

Went to Jenxdan Lifestyle Cafe with my department last week. It was a pretty eventful lunch cos it was a birthday celebration cum farewell lunch for 2 of my now ex-colleagues. LOL!

Anyhoo, Jenxdan is actually a "meatless" cafe. All the meat-like things you see in the following pictures are actually.............not meat.

I had the shitake pasta. I expected a creamy sauced pasta with shitake mushrooms all over but instead i got this...

Where has the shitake gone to??? I can only assume that the shitake went into the meat-like meatballs thingy.It's fettucini tossed in what tasted like sesame oil (and no garlic cos vegatarians can't eat garlic).

Someone ordered these vegetarian sushi

It's actually rice vermicelli in it instead of sushi rice and it came with some soy sauce and wasabi. How did it taste like?? Sad to say, i didnt get a chance to eat it! What the hell?? By the time i finished taking photos, there were only a few left and there were still so many people who were so eager to try it. Oh well, when it comes to food i'm always very giving *ahem*

Actually this is the appetizer, but i'm too lazy to move this photo up. hah!

This is organic and vegetarian pumpkin soup...

Something tasted pretty different here. I believe they did not use cream, because it lack the richness.

This is the spinach pasta...

Not mine, no comments...

Spaghetti Bolognese...

And vietnamese spring rolls...

Fml! I believe i did not get to try this either!

And lastly, lavendar cheese cake

verdict? i thought it tasted weird! Lavender is supposed to be in my shower gel and not in my cheesecake. oh well...

after the lunch, i asked my non-vegetarian colleagues whether they will go back to that place and they were all silent...so.................................................. lol. but it was pretty interesting tho, when i heard of vegetarian western cafe i was looking forward to order the vegetarian burger cos i once had a very delicious vegetarian burger. but alas, there was not a single burger in the menu.

here's the address :

Frustration!!!

ok. i have to type this out somewhere before i explode into smithereens!!! there's this programmer at work who is SUPER kiasu, and always acts suspicious. During our last programmer's meeting, our boss assigned first TASK A to me and TASK B to her. So 2 days later, when i have already finished TASK A. She came and asked me, what was the task assigned to you the other day?

I said TASK A loh...

she said "isit??but i did TASK A woh!"

i said "no you were supposed to do TASK B (which i dont remember what it was) because boss assigned TASK A to me first and then TASK B to you"

she said "i dono wohhhh"

so i called our admin who were responsible to create "tickets" for us to write our programs. so i asked her which one's my task? she said TASK A for you and TASK B for her (the weirdo) ma !

then weirdo started singing a diff tune...oh..which database table did you call for your program? i said TABLE A . OH which one is mine? mine is calling TABLE B and C right (asking the admin)

i was like o_O if you already knew what table you were supposed to call why THE HELL did you still get confused on which task you were supposed to do!?!?!?

i REALLY don understand what she wanted to ask from me...SO PISSED!

Accident Prone me

Can't believe i m such a big klutz!

yes i got my finger cut AGAIN...

and you just wouldnt believe how i got it cut this time...you know the metal thingy u use to "kiap" things?

this one la...

well, i was in the office cafeteria one fine afternoon trying to put some kueh into a plastic bag and my finger somehow got trapped in between the metal edges of its handle =_="

it's almost absurd how much blood that cut produced!

:D

Hello from Penang

Hello!!!! i m safe n sound and still alive and am currently 'growing mushroom' in Penang! Imagine cramming everything from resigning,handing over my job, signing my contract with the new company, packing my things,saying goodbye and flying to Penang all in one month...just one month ago, i submitted my resignation letter with trembly hands n feet

i had taken this pic with the intention of blogging about it a month ago...but heh...better late than never! after submitting this letter i was not really on good terms with my now ex boss! GO TO HELL LAH U! okok... we will keep that story for another day 'x'

So goodbye my old cubicle...

this time round, i didnt have a headache packing up my stuff at work cos i tried not to bring as many TOYS to work

but i did bring this little rear view mirror back and even brought it with me to Penang ...*cough cough* just in case

Thanks everyone back in Kuching...colleagues, friends and family who have treated me to lunches n dinners! I've had THREE farewell lunches from my colleagues this time! and of cos the endless buying of dinner n lunches from others :P and also ang pows n gifts....i feel so loved! i might consider leaving again every few years 'x'

Farewell Lunch at Mr Ho

Just got back from Singapore...my bag's still unpacked from the trip and now i have to do my big packing for my move to Penang this sat... arghh...

there are loads of outdated photos on my computer n camera so i just had to post some stuff before they all get forgotten...

Some of my colleagues gave me a farewell lunch at Mr Ho's fine dining on easter sunday...i think the place would be nice to take nice photos in natural lighting so i brought my dslr there on that day, which is quite a rare occurence for me :P

they are having set lunch menu with an entree,main dish and dessert for only RM15.90!

here comes the salad...

and we had extra orders of mussels...

this is the fried rice with roast pork and fried egg on top from menu 1

looks like your simple average joe dish but at the end it proved to be better than our oglio olio with roast pork from menu 2 :(

here it is...

i find it a little on the bland side...i would prefer their pesto spaghetti

we also ordered the small sampler plate which didnt prove to be small at all!

a combination of roast chicken, roast pork,sausages,pork ribs...

and of cos came the dessert at the end...love the bread pudding =)

made me search for bread pudding recipes on thet net :P

New Year Gathering

I had some sort of a potluck gathering with a few of my colleagues during the New Year hols...its a very interesting gathering where each person bring 2 dishes/baked products which MUST be homemade...

I made my sausage buns :)

This is the 3rd time im making em...and i must say this batch is the best among all 3...soft fluffy bread!!! yay...i m soooooo proud =)

made these with some left over dough...

but the whole tray went into the bin cos a whole colony of ants got to them before us :(

ta daaa...everyone's hardwork put together...

pretty impressive lunch spread from just 5 of us rite ;)

we had...

shepard's pie..

cinnamon rolls...

drunken prawns...

sinfully rich choco brownies =)

and some more which i do not have photos of...


it was fun...we should do bring-your-own-homemade-goodies gatherings more often!

Friday

It is now 4.04pm on a Friday afternoon and for the past 2 hours or so, all network lines in the company was DOWN...

everything down EXCEPT for the internet!

isnt that an irony? hehehe...i think the company is trying to tell us to surf more =x

being a software developer, without any network connections it is quite impossible for us to work as we cant connect to the server and hence we cannot do any testing or any running...honest! :P

in fact, i was surfing too much for the past one hour i was feelng a little bored of surfing already...hehehehe...

so here's wishing u a wonderful weekend till i get my internet connection back again...

yeah u guessed rite...i m stil internet-less (at home lah i mean)

Pinky Day

My company recently organized a Breast Cancer Awareness day on every Wednesday and we all have to wear pink on wednesdays :)

Now is a great time to put all my pink clothings to use...wahaha...but i just realized i don have that many clothing item that is suitable for work...hmm

anyway...guess who??

kakakaka...

Bento Hijau

Hehehe ...another Green Bento day in the office

it is really sort of 'pampering' to be having lunch delivered right to your doorstep but this could be our last time ordering green bento since they have increased their price :(

at RM8 per sandwich...i think it would be more viable to be bringing in lunch from home or just go out for RM2.80 kolo mee...hmm...

Roast Beef Sandwich (RM8.50)

comes with potato chips (i love those paper thin crispy potato chips!) and for the month of June/July, every sandwich order comes with a free side order!

hence, the green salad

Fish fillet sandwich (RM7.50)

for sandwiches you could choose panini/french/wholemeal or normal bread...

this is my roast chicken whole meal sandwich (RM8)

i m loving it!

thick piece of roast chicken in each half of the sandwich

i really really love it! =)

My Work

Had to stay back late at work just now to do dump in some data into the database...

so while the data loading script was running...

sorry,had to blur everything up except for the num of data rows :D

i had a pre dinner snack...

while watching...

Code Monkeys! haha its not a game...its a movie...and it's quite good you should go ahem ahem it :P

i wouldnt mind working late like this :D

hey! you can't expect me to stare at the black screen while it runs rite? at least that's what I think...not sure if that's what my boss thinks...*gulp*...SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Going Green

In view of the recent ridiculous fuel price hike...we have declared Fridays a Green Bento day in the office

They deliver straight to your office at no additional cost...and they use organic ingredients...and the price is reasonable!

Sweet and sour chicken

they even use recyclable material to put their food in...

Chicken wings

generally...i think the food taste pretty good but of cos it is a little cold...

1/4 chicken

but it is still acceptable...

My terriyaki fish

furthermore every main dish comes with 3 side dishes of vege and tofu...

Teriyaki Chicken

i understand that these 3 side dishes will vary day to day....

Beef curry

which means...more variety!

the only downside to all these is........... a smelly office....

which is why we had to resort to natural air freshener before the boss comes back...

LOL!
