2010.10.23_KL&Eve_BigDay

Just came back from KL & Eve wed dinner and meet tonnes of ex-church mates esp those from Penang. The atmosphere still bit awkward, can't have meaningful conversation with them. Indeed, this is my personal issue but not others. After the dinner and most of the guests were dissapeared,it's our fav photo shooting session . These 2 biological brothers are really good in guitar but vocal is...same as passerby. Tht's the reason they do not have mic on mic-stand. Can u believe one of the fake rocker is full time LECTURER?

I met an old fren who is professional model, Mr Nick Shoong. Always try to avoid take photo together with him, sure will be defeated lol. I really looks fat on below photo :(
My ex-roommate, a self proclaim minimalist wore casual to attend the dinner. It does fit his style even though "FORMAL ATTIRE" was written and suggested on invitation card. In fact, I admire he can wore an event logo polo shirt and did not comb his hair. He looks weary and quite tonight. Mr.CY, if u coincident read this post, pls do not hesitate to contact me when u need a hand...Wish him can find his life in the right track ASAP.
Dorcas, as normal I was requested to take pic with all these pretty gals.
I manage to grab the beautiful bride, Eve for an quick snap shoot. Frankly, I'm not close with this couple. We only meet in church activities. Since I switch to other church, chances to have deeper fellowship is more tough for us. Indeed, I was very touch coz this couple purposely came to my office in order to pass the invitation card. Wish them commit themselves in LORD and have a fruitful marriage life under God's safeguard. A total unprofessional Emcee said we shall wish them "increase PRODUCTIVITY" during toast session. Malaysia Chinese toasting style is unique. We are not toast " cheers" but " yum seng". Yum seng means drink & win??? We need to yell: Ya...ya...ya...yum...yum...yum... sen...seng. The longer we shout, the better blessing lol. EmC is the most important guy during toasting, he must fire up all the guests spirit & shout "yum seng" loudly. Surprisingly, the Mr EmC is too shy to lead us to wish this couple in this sophisticated toasting style.
About food, so so & std hotel wed dinner food, nothing much to compliment and complaint except 1st dish decor. A small cup filled with uncooked rice and wood sticks in it. My instant impression is: 大吉利是 (what the hell... ). According to Chinese tradition, Chinese is only using raw rice so that the prayer sticks can stick in incense burner. If elder discover this decor, rally do not know how to explain lol.

The souvenir is a little glass candle which has strong fragrance. I decided to bring it back and hang it on bathroom.
This little boy wore retro shirt and looks cool. I not dare to ask him whether he "endures" the shirt from his dad，Saturday Night Fever era.
The venue is located in industry area, the dinner venue is small & hot, the cocktail cum reception area also very small. Personally, the venue is not a wise choice for wedding, pls don't take it personally.

My Working Place

My co. decided to renovate our office next month and all of the senior management not in office for oversea team-building now, I brought my new camera and snap shot some pics. Unfortunately, new co office arrangement is terrible, I need to squeeze with more people in smaller area. My like my current seat very much coz very near the pantry and less occupants. My table space is big enough to put all my personal goods. Well, I also seat in front of an old uncle room who is coincidently act as my boss. If he needs something, he just shout to me. How transparent am I in front of old uncle.

My ultimate cost saving co only provide me second hand folders and I do not have enough space to store it anymore. GO green ! GO green and recycle...

I reserve one of the drawer to keep my contingency kit if work overtime. My mandatory items are:

1. Pringles
2. Vitamins C
3. Moisturizer
4. Dry guava
5. Biscuits

Therefore, if you manage to come and visit me, I might treat you something ;D

2010.10.15_UPM Fren's Buffet Wedding

My UPM buddy call me and inform me our fren Turtle Teng getting married! I haven't meet the bride after we left UPM,2003. 7 years is long enough for us to explore and experience the world, chasing our own dream and become more mature ;p Luckily the bridegroom is the SAME who I meet during UPM's days. Ironically, I almost forget her, Turtle Kui Teng. I can't recall her name and her hometown. I keep thinking another Kui, Kui Wei Melaka. During the conversation with my UPM buddy, I was very busy and only remember 3 keywords " vegetarian buffet", "friday" and "Klang". On Friday, a blur-blur me wait my human GPS at the wrong toll. My fren keep asking me my location, I keep replying that me parked beside road after toll and wait her. At the end, we realize we are waiting each other at differ tolls!

2nd embarrass incident: I thought I'm attending vegetarian buffet. I queue and pick the food without observe the food in details. Suddenly, I found that the artificial prawn looks alike the real prawn. I told my fren, " wah, the prawn looks like the real one". My fren almost fainted coz IT WAS A REAL PRAWN!!! Stubborn me try to argue and pursue her tht we are attending vegetarian buffet. The truth is normal buffet for tonight and another formal vegetarian dinner on following week.

3rd funny scenario, my UPM buddy and I wore red shirts. Most of frens' frens' frens' , whosoever thought we are couple. the silly wed couple insist us to take pair-to-pair photo. What a fake smile :D

Turtle Teng is my final year group assignment member, she and other team members always helping me to complete the work tasks and give me "tips" at exam hall. They help me register course, fight for tutorial seat, get class attendance, do assignment, call me for exam, sms me if got sudden pop quiz at class n etc... Overall, I'm the parasite who attached on my group members. Without them, definitely I can't graduate. When I told turtle Teng, I worked as part time lecturer, her eyes widely open. She can't believe a person who has bad learning attitude become lecturer. I'm glad I force myself to attend this dinner to allow me to meet some of UPM buddies. We are seldom contact and focus on respective life. Shall we contact more often? Ideally, yes; however, everyone is so called "busy" including me. Can we spend some time to contact some old frens? Pls do email/sms/phone selfish me as I rarely take initiative to contact others.

2010.10.13_Supper with CDC

After visit Miss C at Assunta Hospital, we decided car-pool in Miss H’s car to SS2 mamak tht Ms.H highly recommended. The location is difficult to grab parking place, we round n round n round until parked at illegal parking area. What to do, this is Malaysia lol

Interestingly, I meet this bunch of little kids when something occurs but not for routine. Every time VIP turns up @ important event happen, then we meet as we seldom keep in touch nowadays.

We have ordered Roti Dinosour, Stegosaurus-shape-dish. It taste weird, dish inventor inserts ham, marinated chicken and boiled egg, topping with tomato purees source. It does look fancy on the 1^st sight after 45 minutes long waiting, but th

e whole combination texture is horrible. In addition, the nan was not cooked, u can taste flour on it.

Somehow, our fren, Ms Chek Chek order plain roti canai. What the….Another weirdo,Ms Tee Tee likes Chinese rat noodle with tones of black pepper! Yuck…!She keeps scratch the claypot…Yuck Yuck Yuck…

Overall, we like nasi lemak which is cheap and delicious. It cost RM6.00 with a chicken thigh. Roti Hawaiian is my fav. BTW, above pic is Roti Hawaiian but not plain roti canai,k.

The drink is expensive after try it. It looks nice at the 1st sign ( again) but u taste it... just normal drink of Ribenna plus lycee. Again, thz Ms H brought us to this mamak and pray our fren, Ms C recover soon. ( I really want to take photo of Ms C sick face coz her blonde hair make her look like old lion king lying on bed)

all photo grab from internet

Dreadful charity dinner and sickening bilingual menu

Well, I have to confess my English level is pretty bad. When I saw this menu all the -ve words appear in my mind:UGLY; HORRIBLE; TERRIBLE; HORRENDOUS; DISASTROUS; GROSS; UNSPEAKABLE; SPEECHLESS n etc. Why the event organizer, a local 3 stars hotel put this menu on the table? 1st dish:"beauty of four season", mandarin direct translation is " the true, the good and the beautiful" My logic is summer, spring, autumn and winter are 4 seasons but 真善美 only consists 3 elements! Something wrong with the equation. 2nd dish: Seas of benevolence", I can find any "seas" in mandarin menu. In contrast, I find wholeheartedly kindness soup in this dish. Next dish make me really want to shout: tak boleh tahan!!!English name is "charm of the phoenix" The meaning of this meal in mandarin is two phoenix are flying in the sky! Main ingredient for this food is "fake duck" How to link a duck with phoenix? Both are Aves. The rest of the menu names are acceptable except last two. I can't read the translator mind at all, how to link a harvest with gods? Mandarin meaning for last two meal is A gang of gods come on earth while English name for this meal is Harvest of loving, caring and sharing. The last meal which is moon cake plus a sweet drink. Again, the menu PIC intends to link with Mid-Autumn Festival, it called "double sweetness- of the autumn, however; the mandarin meaning is solitude autumn moon scenery. To my best understanding, we only can find one moon in galaxy, then how tht PIC can parallel his mind with double sweetness to solely moon? 2≠1
