The four

The four

Was an impromptu thing for me but a new experience all together which is what i see working people or i should say young working people do since my teenage days. And here i am being in the position, doing the same thing, the way i see them do it when i was younger.

4 of us at dinner, with Jacky’s friend which we went for her wedding dinner on the weekends in Kajang. Guess its been a long meet up and being college mate, crazy things they’ve done together. Everyone has it, don’t we? moreover theirs in Langkawi….woo hoo…how nice studying in an island and to add to it is duty free!! Gosh..i wonder if they study there?

After dinner, here is the hangout place, i think supposedly to be flo’s Hen’s night? haha should have brought her to the men’s strippers bar (well not that i know of any :p )

What's this? Strawberry chocolate?

That’s what you do when you’re a little tipsy and to get rid of it, you do silly things like posing for a kissing pose when you didn’t actually kiss, haha…Gotcha! ;) And all of a sudden i remember I’ve not made a cab booking for our flight to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah rest, relax and sight seeing trip.

Kisses when they're gone...

We drove ourselves back safely after that, its a surprise for me that i can drink more than a glass of beer (i’m a very light drinker) still sober enough to drive myself back. Well its really tired and i’ve not pack my bags for the vacation and catch an early morning flight. Slept @ 2am, woke-up 7+am.

It is the time of the year again for Tax Submission

April 26, 2009 - 11:44 pm No Comments

After procrastinating for about 3 weeks, finally I’ve submitted my tax! I did the figures last week however having to see that i still need to pay the government, i hesitated to finish and submit my tax. Leaving a 1 last week buffer to find whatever else receipt that hopefully appear which is income tax deductible.

Every year at around this time, you will start thinking and hoping you should have bought more books, did a medical check-up and keep whatever receipts. Hoping at the end of the year during the budget announcement things you bought / receipts you kept is income tax deductible.

But after a while getting over with the income tax, you tend to forget when you buy stuff, specially sports gear! Man and ridiculously, swim suits are NOT considered as sports equipment but shuttle cocks are…then swimmers will be thinking are we not taken seriously, or probably you’re in the wrong country to take up this sports. Cos badminton, football, bowling, squash are the few importance sports taken seriously representing the country and making fame for the country.

HOWEVER, you swimmers out there if you can win some medals back, then i bet probably the water in your pool can be tax deductible. This is life baby, life!! Its that Unfair ;) hahaha….being evil here.

A friend who cured my Monday blue…

April 24, 2009 - 11:33 pm No Comments

This came as a surprised :) After lunch, a friend from German buzz me and he told me about his blog that he has been developing. Before this he was sharing with me about the weather in Europe and how crazy it was during winter and he has to walk 30mins to work! Mind you, it is freezing cold and it is raining! (*walk baby! in Malaysia we drive 30mins we complaint!)

But i crazily did that while i was in Denbosch, NL, first time looking out the window with “white snow” got so excited, open the window stretch my hand out to feel it!

*White Snow*!!

*White Snow*!!

It got heavies :D

It got heavier :D

Was awesome, some photos here, then i dress-up and prepare myself to go out and walk, just to experience it. It was freaking cold and i didn’t know where i was heading just walking around the neighbourhood and experience how’s the 10am daily lives of the Dutch.

There were alot in their bicycles as it was the cheapest way to transport themselves, and i head myself to the end of the town where the canal leads to. Where this little statue looking out too, its probably a river then the sea.

Looking back at the photos, the weather is really gloomy, blue, rainy, wet, cold, no wonder they all look forward to spring =) And here you can view more the blooming of Spring, where Love is in the Air, birds chirping, bees looking for honey, parks are filled with lovebirds, couple kissings. I told him that i’ve never experience spring before and this is what he explains to me “bright warm sunny days”. Over the weekend while he was walking at the park, he remembered me and took these photos specially for me. How nice and sweet of him! :D and dedicated to me over his blog too ;) Check it out here http://www.gegenort.de/?p=280 Thanks Andy! ;)

Lunch @ 3 Two Square

April 18, 2009 - 9:30 pm No Comments

One of Jack’s colleague invited us for lunch @ 3 Two Square. Well i didn’t know where we were going, only somewhere in PJ and no idea what occasion it was, just tag along on a Saturday afternoon. Appointment was at 2pm but due to the traffic congestion we arrived slightly pass two, and we were first to arrive :) Too hungry being our brunch, we ordered the wild mushroom soup.

Things are a little bit pricey for a “casual italian cuisine” and after looking at the menu for a long-time when everyone arrives, it didn’t have Lamb cutlets that i’ve been eyeing on for an hour or so. Well was too hungry to take any photos of the food that comes, i would give it a 6/10 as it is not as tasty as Italianese ;) (The ceasar salad tastes great, yummy!)

Oh at the end, it was actually a gathering for one of his colleagues birthday, there were 4 couples there that day including us. After the sumptuous meal, the desert comes to complete it all, its like a more than enough calories for the day!

New York Cheese

And the specialty of this restaurant name “Coconut House” is mainly on the wood fire taken to baked the pizzas, nice cozy restaurant with wood fire and open concept kitchen. (Details here www.coconut-house.com) This is their second branch, with the main branch located in Malacca. It seems the owner of this restaurant is a book author and a composer with all kinda old song CD collections available in the restaurant.

We ended about 5.30pm it was really a whole day event, half-day gone! And we headed to Digital Mall again!! For three consecutive weekend!! But this time is just for a small gadget, the keyboard to complete the “techie crave”! ;) And we bump into Wilson who now consider himself a “PJ-lang”

Movie Night – Fast & Furious 4

April 15, 2009 - 11:45 am No Comments

Was way better than the previous episode, this is with good story line, but heard some people say its not nice. Well i guess 1 movie can’t please everyone ;) Best of all i was sitting in the middle of the most back seat, great position to feel as if you’re driving and moving along with the cars =) Just that the seats are not moving like “Motion Master” we use to ride back then at Genting Highlands.

the_fast__furious_front2The four main characters, who never dies but no 1 died in this episode. The storyline was not too bad, as it was showing the border between Mexico and US, its so very near. I believe one of my colleague who went for this movie night together can identify much closer to the movie due to his recent trip to ICANN, Mexico. What more to ask for when there’s a muscular guy and a cute guy acting in 1 movie?

Old junk that runs fast!

Best of all…

Blue eyed boy

the sexy blue eyed boy posing with his car, Paul Walker, can’t recognize him at first but he was the guy acted on 8 and below with all the huskies! They chose him probably he had blue eyes like the Siberian Huskies :)

Food for thought before the movie-

Double boiled - Coconut chicken soup!

Double boiled - Coconut chicken soup!

Was yummy, but too rush and i burnt my tongue, cost RM7.50 per coconut but i think is worth it with alot of chicken meat and herbs boiled. Will wanna eat there again very soon! Location: Somewhere like Jalan Imbi behind Times Square on the left.
