2010.03.07_UluBendul_Picnic

In this early drizzling morning, 5 cars depart to destination. This picnic was organized by formal colleague, Shazereen and attend by TOLL and Nozomi employees. All of us feel that we shall have a rest after endless non-stop working days,most of them willing to commit and preparing the drinks and meals for us. For me, I just need to bring myself

> . <""" The food is super fine, we have fried bihun, fishball, ikan bakar, ayam bakar and satay!!!

The location is so-so as the riverbed is not deep and more suit for children. The children won't leave the water, they are the most happiest group. One of the little boy "mandi sungai" 5 hours till shaking and pale in water but refuse to go out. Vise versa, he is the one who try to convince his dad to join in. Most of them bring their spouse and some of them are bit shy among us. As you know, once the colleagues gather together: Gossip time!!! Eventually, some of the colleagues also follow my path and leave the company soon. Although, I knew them several months, but base on our job requirements and overtime workloads, we spend at least 12 hours per day in a big warehouse togather. We have our breakfast till mid-night supper together before heading home.

At the end, all of us very appreciate this picnic as we do not know where are we end up.

The power of Facebook, ROCK IT!!!

Truly appreciate FB website founder efforts, it allows me to reconnect with old schoolmates and friends. Surprisingly, I found my kindergarten graduation photo and primary school photos too. Ironically, I try to zoom in the photos to "see myself " : I can't recognized !!!
During CNY, I hided at home n tend to accompany family esp my mum. I missed plenty gatherings esp whom only meet once a year.

Hereby, I really want to salute to "Danny Tai" who form my primary school alumni group. He has uploaded many precious or rather consider as historic photos in related group. I know who he is, but never have deep conversation with him.

Pls help me to find "me" in these photos?

2010.02.14_CNY

Many dogs turns up during CNY, all these doggies are smart and act like little human baby. BTW, I ain't dog lover.

Endless feast... let photo intro dishes...

Part of my relatives: take photos among the youngsters and olders.

I met more than 10 God of Prosperity included at a wedding dinner. We shall build a "God of Prosperity's Grotto" for him so that he can plays the same role as Santa Claus. My sincere advice to this celebrity is to hire a more professional PR officials. His assistant who wore yellow shirt stand behind of us is non-expressive. I can't help myself except keep laughing on this toasting session. Our dear friend,Mr.Western Red aka Prosperity stand aside Eastern 5 layers White Wedding Cake. I wish he is the one who cut the cake then Yum Seng!!!

So long, 2010 CNY

2010.02_06/07_CNY_Shopping

I have to confess I'm shopaholic. I so excited and swipe my credit card without any hesitation. Some of my friends ever despise me and warn me shouldn't shop that much. After self-audit my shopping awards and finance balance, I can't believe I have bought half dozen tins of Julie's Love Letters Chocolate Cream Egg Rolls !!! Fortunately, these egg rolls expired date is on Dec,2010. Hence, pls do not ask me why I still single esp during CNY celebration coz I got enough Love Letters.

For 2010, I rewarding myself with a teapot set cum warmer. This littler warmer cost is consider cheap and the candle also affordable. After tire work, this little teapot set will accompany me through whole night. Sam, I knew u like this little thingy, I will reserve another one set for your coming birthday as B'day gift if u read this article and leave comment.

We have so many God of Prosperity in different shopping mall. I met 3 of them in One-Utama Mall itself. I manage to catch one of them and take photo. It must be damn hot in this costume.

I have no idea what makes One-Utama Management decides to decorate 2010 CNY theme with Maneki Neko??? No doubt we are living in glabalization era, my curiosities are :

1. 2010 is the year of TIGER according to Chinese calender, is this mean Cat can symbolize tiger as both of them are same species?
2. Are we celebrating Chinese New Year or Japanese New Year?
3. Why only have Cat mama, daughter and son? Where is Cat papa? Chinese very highlighted reunion spirit while celebrating CNY, it feels incomplete unless this is single parent (divorced) family?
   

All these just my personal thoughts on these giant kitten, hope that One-U admin won't get mad with me.

January_Housewarming

Endless so called housewarming at my tiny flat. The menu is standardize except for different buddies. The response is not too bad but most of these food critics spontaneously start to investigate cooking recipes after first bite. Honestly, it's annoying esp i wish everyone can enjoy the meals without interrogating me after long n tire preparations. Anyhow, for those who tasted my meals, pls be patient n wait... ain't gonna cook for u in a short time.
Broccoli Man at the peak of the Mount Beef
Recipe: All veg chill with cool water after boiled to preserve the crunchiness. Mount beef marinated with fresh sweet thyme, mustard seeds and olive oil.Salad is nothing special la: self-baked bread crumbs,raisins, Balsamic source, Italians salad source and fresh sliced lemon. ( opps...forgot to buy tomatoes and olive)

Pumpkin soup: Plenty friends dislike this yellowish thingy. I prepared this soup with pumpkin (of course lah...), bacon ribs, onion, Knoss's chick stock, topping with whipped cream and serve with seafood -garlic -baguette. Seafood garlic source bought from grocerry shop, costs ~rm7 and Perancis roti less than rm2 from hypermarket. A superb buddy asked me how to bake baguette!!! Do I looks like guru in baking bread? I hope so ;p



Green Octopus Pirate sailing on Salmon boat
Again my dear friends, pls do not ask our tire chef bout fish since he not keen to eat seafood at all. I simply marinated the salmon with some soy sources, butterfly flour and bit olive oil. Some food critic said should add more herbs and spice; some said should grill it till slightly "burned";some said shouldn't marinate and keep it raw; some said shouldn't overcook. On dear, what suppose I have to do?

In a nutshell, it's my pleasure to able to invite you guys came to my little kennel. Pls feel free to visit me more often but "tau pau sendiri" @ eat outsite,k?

For those who hasn't been invited, pls be patient and wait, invitation card will be send out soon.

2009.12.20_KY_Welcoming_N_Ray's Visit

Our Ms Santa Claus,KY has returned to Malaysia and visit us. She brought a lot of goodies to me. Even though I damn tire recently but still manage to meet up with her and other buddies. After church service, we went to One Utama Shopping Mall. Since I didn't drive and nobody is willing to send me home,I have to go to this extreme congested area. This mall has invited mini orchestra band to perform on the stage. The singer is so so but I like the stage decor. We went to Hong Kong dessert shop which provides more than 100 drinks and desserts. Most of the items are similar and almost same. I wonder why this shop owner want to trouble the employer to serve such complicated menu.
An old buddy,Ray who was lived together in Liverpool come to Malaysia in a very short notice from Hong Kong. Again, I almost fainted cause lack of rest and sleep, I need to go to his hotel to fetch him for dinner. He is nice lad and always concern other needs. His Mandarin level is remain "kui bu Kui" instead of "hui bu hui". Really happy to meet him again and talk bout old UK days.
