And also to Jas from Singapore for wishing me publicly in MSN. haha. [ I'm surprised you remembered my bday. haha ]

Special thanks to ~

Pei Lynn & Sheryln for this =D


and to Jyn | Marianne | Teng | Joseph for this =D


And to Marcus and Sze Vien, I wanna thank you both for celebrating for me and getting me two awesome shirts. haha. But one of it is slightly bigger. =D. No worries. I still like it. [I'll change the size cos the receipt was inside the plastic bag. wahaha ]

The two shirts. Cool huh=D

Anyway, the day before my bday, which was on Sunday, they planned to surprise me by bringing me to a place. They insisted of picking me up from my place. At first, I was told that we were heading to Pyramid. Then I overheard Yap talking to Marcus bout Damansara. haha. I knew what they were planning. And I was not mistaken, we were going to the place where everyone is talking about and here we ARE, Niu Ze Xui @ Ara Damansara. haha. [ we've been planning to come here a week ago ]

Too bad we had to go in the noon cos I have plans during the night. Sorry guys. =(
There weren't many shops opened during the noon and less people too. [ it was kinda warm there ] So definitely the best is to go there during the night cos they'll on all the lightings and etc creating a wonderful scene. Our main plan was actually to dine at FullHouse and we did. We had our lunch there. Thank god it was not full house. And I was told I can order whatever I want regardless of the price [ I'm not that evil though ] cos the both of them are treating me for the meal. So nice of them. aww~~haha.

We had to use handphones to take pictures cos we have forgotten to bring cameras and the use of phones made us felt lazy to take pictures. But we did took but not many. =)
So, let the pictures do some talking. haha.

Fullhouse =D


Products they are selling

Nice chandelier and lighting

2 Iced Lemon Teas & Lime Juice.

The Cappuccino Mushroom Soup was AWESOME with the huge Garlic Bread, rm1.00 per piece

My set, Pan Sear Chicken Chop at only RM16.90 which consist of mushroom soup, ice lemon tea and dessert [ ice-cream ]

Marcus's Carbonara Spaghetti with the set as well @ only rm14.90

We should have gone in to the car. damn

Sze Vien and Marcus

Thanks for the wonderful meal guys =D

Food was good, not extraordinary. The mushroom soup was awesome anyway. The best time to enjoy the set lunches are from 12pm-4pm and they offer affordable prices for the sets. they have only 3-4 sets though. I recommend Pan-Sear Chicken Chop and Fish & Chips for first timers. Though they looked small in portion, it can be quite filling. The ala-carte food therefore are slightly expensive. They served mostly western fusion and they have local delicacies like Nasi Lemak.
I love the decorations [ it's all white ]and the environments there. I guess the concept of the shop is based on the Korean drama Fullhouse. haha. It was quite relaxing and cooling [ we sat right under the fan. haha ].

After lunch, we headed to Pyramid for movie. As usual, it's Sunday and it was packed and most of the movies we wanted to watch were fulled. And so , we picked Role Model.

Didn't hear any reviews of it. Thought it's not gonna be good. But it ended up we all enjoyed the movie. A movie about two guys had to do community services of 15o hours by looking and mentoring after kids that are problematic otherwise they ll be sentenced to jail for 30 days. A very funny movie and it has morals too. haha.

And a present from Man Utd. They won the Carling Cup aka League Cup. HAHAHA. Thank you Red Devils! They beat Tottenham on penalties. 4-1

Thanks everyone for making my brithday AWESOME. haha. "gracias"

CNY Part II [ 6th Feb 09 ]

A Trip for Sarah

We [ Marcus, Ryan, SzeVien & I ] had planned a 2 days-one night in Genting for Sarah as she's leaving for Aussie Land for a year to further her studies the next week. * my 3rd time in Genting in 2 months =.= *

Anyway, the week before the trip, they came over to my place for CNY gathering after dinner. We gambled and played drinking games and ended up I got slightly drunk. The best thing of it, I puked everything I ate [ peanuts, chips & cookies ] and drank [famous grouse and Bacardi apple ] that night. I was the one who always kena by them to drink and all I know was Ryan kept refilling my cup with Bacardi. And the whole toilet smells like apple. haha. lol.



Back to the trip.
I booked a room in Chin Swee Temple a.k.a Pagoda cos it's so cheap, RM70 per night for a room with a single bed and queen bed. And the place is quiet, nice and peaceful. The cons of the hotel rooms are no tv's and the size of the rooms are exactly the size of First World Hotel's normal rooms, which is freaking small. Screw it-lar, all we wanted was just a place to play and sleep.
Ain't gonna talk so much bout the journey. All we did was Sushi King, walking around in the cold breezy condition [ it was damn cold and the road couldn't be seen clearly with the thick mist ], Starbucks, and we did alot cam whoring and took alot of pictures too. haha. Back to the room, we played thumb master, charades, "007 Bang" and "Truth or Dare". I think everyone got a little tipsy. Haha. Yea. We had alcohol. Chivas, Jas and Corona beers. And I think we were the noisiest and loudest among all the rooms. Haha. Throughout the night, it was a unstoppable laughter for us. wahaha.


Well, let the pictures do the rest. We took more than 200 pictures though. Haha. But half of them are P&C. =P. So here are some of the approved pictures.


#1 The girls

#2 The guys

#3 (L-R) Sze Vien, Marcus, Ryan and I. Look at Ryan. Haha

#4 The cool Marcus. wahaha

#5 =P

#6 The hotel's entrance.

#7 It was seriously misty that day.

#8
#9 2 Bodyguards??
#10 A scratch by Sze Vien. And all she care was her wrecked fake finger nails! * it remains a scar till now T__T*
#11 I just love raw Fish!
#12 Our "best" food on the table. =P
And this is the thing that caused all the expressions below. haha





Eventhough it was just 2 days 1 night, we had a memorable trip. Cos we had lots of craziness and fun. haha.

Thurs , 22th Jan 09

Tenji Japanese Buffet @ SohoKL , Solaris Mont Kiara

Tenji Japanese Buffet is the latest craze in town . Many were talking bout it through emails and blogs . Thanks to Sze Vien who mailed me bout it . she wanted to go there so badly [ so do I . haha ] and asked me to book . I tried a few times and I couldn't get them [ their standard line ' our operators are busy at the moment , please dial another extension ' . ] damn kns .
But for once at late night , I got through them but unfortunately they are fully-booked throughout the luncheon promotion @ rm49.90+ per pax . [ those who are fast eater can go for their rm29.90 for the first hour , followed by an rm10 for the next subsequent hours ] .
But then , they told me they are having another promotion which is rm55 nett for the luncheon promotion till 17th Feb . I was thrilled but somehow didn't book first . After confirming the date with the rest , I tried calling them again , knowing it's freaking hard to get them for a week , day till night . and I always get the same answer . [ operators busy ] wtf .
Finally on the 18th Jan , Sunday , 4 days to go as we have planned , I finally managed to get them and booked a table for five from 12pm to 4pm . it was like buying a lottery .


So on the day , 24th of January , the 5 of us [ Sarah , Sze Vien , Marcus , Ryan and I ] went in two cars . I lead the way as I slightly know the way there [ as Sarah mentioned in her blog , we were not lost , just went into wrong junctions . TWICE! ] somehow , we made it there , just in time . Surprisingly , the queue was not as long as I expected . and so lets start the feast ! hoho


The scenery and environment of outdoor were great . golf carpets for the outdoor dining . quite unique . but the interior therefore is just good , not great . dark yet romantic . haha . they have their unique though .
Now lets move on to the food !

The famous oysters . They were seriously humongous , as huge as your palm I can say . You ll be great if you can down the flesh in one mouth . lol . They were fresh cos they were soaked frozen and served straight up to the customers , but with the taste of sea water in them , hence the foul smell . Some even had sand in them .
At first , listening to the good comments of the oysters around and being first-timers there , we excitingly took 4 plates of oysters and there were roughly 4-5 on a plate . And we have never felt so regret before . T_T [ and only the three of us guys ate . kns ]
The first two oysters were awesome for us and we were enjoying them . But after that , having the third one in our mouth was difficult and awful . Hence , the odour and taste of the seawater made us felt like puking . We can't bare to take anymore and there were like 15 more to go . How to finish everything and we can't just leave them on the table . And here comes the evil side of us . HAHA . it's a secret though =P

The awesome-awful oysters . Each of us at least had to eat 4 T_T
Don't be greedy anymore . Never ever take that much next time . *sudah tau salah* .
Only one picture was taken for the sushi . [ where got time to take one by one ] The sashimi was not that satisfying . It was not really fresh and the meat was kinda hard . And I took so much and had to finish up alone . The inari and unagi sushi therefore were splendid . especially the unagi . And as you can see the yellow strips above , it was abalone and one word . SLURP!

As for the teppanyaki section [ no pictures were taken ] we are required to drop our table's clip numbers into a bowl and they will prepare for us and send to our table . The best selection was the unagi teriyaki . Salmon and chicken teriyaki were just okay cos they were kinda dry . But the beef was good though . The downside of these orders are they come in a small portion . as in really small . a few tiny pieces - food-tasting style .

And one thing I would recommend , go for the ebi tempura . crispy and tasty .

The soba mee in a paper bowl . Marcus said okay-lar .

The must-have drinks . The coconuts were quite different cos they have a nice aromatic pandan flavor . refreshing and sweet .

They had tea section as well . So many kinds of tea . flowers and fruits flavored and also a few types of good Chinese tea . They have cute transparent teapots and cups as well .
Our Rose tea for the day .

Not only they have coffee , they even have mocha , cappuchino and latte .


Comes to the dessert corner , they have so many choices of cakes , jellies , mochis , and cookies .
And the best section is the Haagen Dazs . All you can scoop ice-cream . hoho . Very worth the money we paid . =P
Our table was just right in front of the Haagen Dazs section . haha

Now group pictures !

Marcus enjoying his coconut .

The expression eating the *wonderful* oysters . *damn*

The 2 girls posing for another camera . lol


Don't ask me why I looked like that . Must be the oysters I think . lol


We were there for 4 hours till they closed at 4.30 . Then , we headed to 1u for shopping . All of them got something except me . haha . I already did my shopping-lar . They wanted to watch movie at first but I couldn't make it cos I had to leave for futsal at night . We left 1u and went to ss2 for dinner and guess what , we had oysters again ! ' ouh zien ' aka fried oysters . =.=*
