Bday 2: DELIcious

Okay this time i wasnt the planner.. HUGE RELIEF.. just an attendee i.e. honorable VIPs.


The event was in Delicious Bangsar.


Bday gals and me.


Again the food was not that great, but the ambiance was..


It was raining cats and dogs that day and we were soaking wet.. Thus everyone had to loose their tops...


My dinner. Pan seared salmon.


There were Eileen, Pooi Ling, Aisah, Fara and myself. Errrr, yeah, I was the only guy who turned up.


The place was pack with people and it was Wednesday! Gosh!


Bday girl enjoying her dessert.


Entry malas... kikikiki

Bday 1: C-Club

Was asked to plan an event for my beloved friend, Che Yan. Arghhh stress.. believe me, I'm so bad at planning (not to mention king of procrastinate as well).

So after shortlisted possible venues, she choose 2 final candidates:
1) Red box
2) C Club

both at the Pavilion. Knowing how much I hate karaoke, I deliberately sabotage the idea of the red box (mampos kalau dia baca blog ni..kikiki), therefore off we went to C Club for planning, budgeting, food tasting, etc.


The food there was such a letdown, but Yan loved the place! Who am I to convince her otherwise, and going to red box is a big no-no. Reluctantly we agreed to have it here :p


Having it inside is not even an option, we had to tone down, so yeah, thats not gonna happen! Who ever heard about sombre birthday celebration!


So off we went, outside, open air.. the whole section all for ourself, plus free belly dancing performance next door.. And it was pretty cool(not hot and humid) that night.. perfect!


Last minute cake, the Club called and said they dont provide In house cake.. whatever that is...


After maghrib the guests started the come, and the feast began.


Minus Zee. Wished she was here though.. two hysterical ladies surely would brought the house down... literally!


Le menu for that night..


One busied cam-whoring, the other with Facebook! Grrrrrr....


The finger food, while waiting for the guests to arrive.


The soup. Shellfish bisque. If you asked me, it tasted like chicken feeds (dedak ayam).


Le beautiful crowd


My main course. Grilled sirloin steak with mashed potato, sautéed spinach and porcini glaze.


Errr.. that cake was meant to be shared!


Hear ye hear ye! Im 21 this year! Like yeah right :p

I know youre upset,

But how foolish it is to generalize



Nah ngko, the sarawakian fight backs.. 1310 fans!

Eh Makcik ni takde kena mengena

Mesti wartawan bagi RM10 suruh makcik ni pose. Yo lah kan, demi propaganda 1Malaysia.

Dragon boat tragedy: Tears and more tears from family, teachers and friends

Penang dragon boat victims laid to rest

GEORGE TOWN: It was an emotionally-charged scene when family members, teachers and friends bade farewell to teacher Chin Aik Siang and two students who drowned in the dragon boat tragedy on Sunday.

Many came by the busloads from Chung Ling High School to pay their last respects to Chin, 28, Jason Ch’ng, 17, and Wang Yong Xiang, 16. The funeral services were held in different locations yesterday.

At Chin’s funeral, friends and relatives consoled his mother Lee Bee Hong, 56, who wept uncontrollably. The funeral was held in an open space below their flat block in Jalan Mohd Saad, Bagan Jermal here.

Rasa Macam Nak Tampaq pun ada Part 2

Frustrating wait for HD service

AN Astro customer service officer informed me last week that Astro was unable to provide me its B.yond service at my home at Pantai Hillpark Phase III until it had upgraded centralised dishes.

When I applied to get B.yond installed last December, Astro informed me that the previous Astro setup, including the satellite dish, must be returned and replaced with the B.yond package. I told them that I had no dish to replace. The Astro installer who installed it for me nine years ago did not give me a dish. I was never told that I had the right to keep the dish nor did the installer offer it to me.

On Dec 22, a customer service officer told me that they would allow me to bypass that requirement. On Dec 24, Astro told me to fax an approval letter from the management of my condo complex authorising me to install my own dish instead of using the centralised dish. After speaking to my condo management, I found that they could not issue me an authorisation letter because they had no authority over what I did within my balcony.

I informed Astro of this on Dec 28. A week later, Astro customer service offi cers told me that I had to send them a letter saying that my condo management had no authority to involve itself with the installation of the dish. On Jan 9, the Pantai Hillpark Phase III Joint Meeting Board brought up my issue at their meeting and decided that they would issue me an authorisation letter to be faxed to Astro.

On Jan 16, I was informed of Astro’s refusal. Its officers said the centralised dish service would be upgraded from April. But I want to watch TV programmes, especially football matches, in high definition now.

Rasa Macam Nak Tampaq pun ada

Got this email from this perempuan melayu terakhir. Tak tahu nak kata bangang ka, bendul ka, atau konon2 nak menurut tuntutan agama.

Setahu aku sebab atau 'illah seorang isteri mesti minta izin suaminya utk berpuasa sunat adalah kerana kalau2 si suami mahu isterinya 'bersamanya' pada waktu siang hari. Ni kalau laki dah 9 bulan tak jumpa, tak dapat hubungi pun.. hmmmm

But then again sapalah aku nak komen bab2 agama ni kan!

============================================

saya nak tanya klu anda semua boleh bantu saya, suami saya tinggalkan saya hampir 9 bulan, selama 9 bulan nie dia tak pernah bertanya pernah tanya kabar saya dan anak2. begitu nafkah kami anak beranak...persoalan ya, apakah hukumnya klu saya keluar rumah seperi untuk urusan lain-lain selain keluar bekerja,sprt balik kg,ke pasar atau sebagainya adakah saya perlu minta izin dari padanya.mula2 dulu saya ada juga sms kat dia maklumkan saya pg mana2..tapi sekarang hphone pun elah bertukar nombor yang saya sendiri tdk ketahui...perlukan saya meminta izin juga..keduanya, klu kita nak puasa sunat pun sepatutnya kita kena minta izin suami juga kan..tapi dlm kes saya nie bagaimana... berdosa kah saya klu berpuasa,tanpa izin suami.

===========================================
lagi sakit hati bila baca reply

Salam...

Keluar rumah atau kerja tanpa keizinan suami ;; hukum nya haram.
Puasa tanpa kebenaran suami : hukum nya haram juga.
Isu suami tak berada selama 9 bulan.
Jwapan nya : Haram isteri keluar rumah tanpa muhrim...semasa suami tidak ada dirumah..

Its Not a Good Idea

To have a flesh color seat on your bike! OR at least, do not wear shorts/skirt

Why Google, Why?

Asian always got a bad name

The Restaurant only for the Ang Moh

Planned a dinner at The Tamarind Spring Restaurant in Ampang to celebrate Mek's new job.

So by 6.45 we're at Yaya's house already.


While waiting for Yaya to get off the internet, take a shower, choose a dress, iron the dress, apply a makeup, reapply a makeup, looking ofr the killer heels, sip a water then realised its a wrong shade of lipstick, scurry back upstair to apply another lipstick, lock all the door, have a chat with her mum, feed the cat...phew.. to get dressed, we played the cam whoring game


and the winner is... oh well, its my camera.. so naturally im the de facto winner :p


Then off we went to the unfamiliar places.. further up from the golf club (KDE) and into the housing areas. Scary at night! Very very very posh settings. Kinda over the top, even for my standard :p

The food? Oh my gawd.. Sucks big time. Maybe its not designed for asian paletes.. Good enough for caucasians I guess, reading from the review.


The "on the house" chef special. Tasted like the salad being celur (toss) inside air longkang (drain water)


The appetisers. Too much salt, too little salt, too much cinnamon, too putrid. And the souces to go with it? Even the generic, store bought in a bottle taste much better.


Sorry Eileen, not that we dont appreciate that youre paying and all that, but with that outrageous price you're paying, Naili's in sentul fared better!


The 100 dollar fish with the special sauce. Special indeed, I guessed they just grab the fish from the neighborhood's trash can, with trash lendir and all that!

The duck? Its so tough, you think its rubber! And tasted spoilt!


Another tasteless prawn thingy. Tomato ketchup with water and tonne of salt.


It goes on and on, every dish was so devoid of flavour and character we may as well have been eating sawmill. The only dish that have decent taste was the rice!


It claimed to have served the best dishes from Cambodia, Laos and the Northern Thailand. Complete farce! Imitation one at best.. bad imitiation!

If any of you (readers) find it otherwise, you better change profession and become one of the food tasters/tender committee for Suria (KLCC) group. The same group who claims Signature and Rasa's dishes are the best in the world!
