Intuition

I always believe in my strong intuition and instinct. Nothing particular, its just a provocative of feelings.

Had a 'little pantry' in my workdesk. Surprise to find out that there were a box of Ferrero Roche chocolates and big packet of Famous Amos biscuits in there. Both were my favourites :) Then, another coll of mine gave me a packet of Kampar Chicken Biscuits. Very nice indeed. Thank you very much.

However, my mood today swings drastically. I just can't explain why and suddenly all my energy level decrease tremendously. Not because of anyone or anything but somehow things turned out to be so complicated. Some can be so rational but when it came into certain level, all the rationality became a fuss.

Being too EMOTIONAL is not good!

Resolution

I'm super duper busy nowadays, struggling with deadlines, meetings and training school. What's more? Well, it's countless and endless. Being so busy till neglect my friends, no way man! So sorry for cancelling off the appointment again but i have to, no choice lor,aih....

3) Bought new lappy, ext. HD, dcam, HP, Tag Hauer
4) Knowing great friends and colleagues
5) Not forgetting Bennie, my mentor who truly inspire me with lots of useful advise. Thanks a lot from the bottom of my heart.

Anyway, time for me to oioi...Nite nite...muaaaks..

My New Lappy

Never in my entire life work more than 12 hours per day. For the first time i did it, from 8.30am till 9pm. Pecah rekod man! 4 hours OT..keke..Good thing is that i can avoid the bumper to bumper jam...it's really sickening driving back on Friday. Really got that phobia few yrs back when i was in Moto. Stuck there for 2 and half hours only reach home.

Btw, i super duper hate the KPI graph! my goodness :( More and more each day.

Finally, bought my 1st ever laptop in Harvey Norman at QB. Been so many months computer-less, felt like i'm so outdated and lost touch with all my frenzzz....haha. The best part is that i'm able to blog more now. The sad part...spent few K's. *sigh*

However, not so familiarize with Vista, really need to brush up my computer knowledge..sucks! And graphs...GRAPHS!! Nothing...nothing..just to let go my frustration on GRAPHS! Quite similar to XP (more user friendly) but still can adapt with it. It takes time though but that's ok.

Luckily i did not chose Apple lor, if not lagi susah...

I so damn miss my frenzzz....really sooory for cancelling the appointment lor cos i waited the lappy setup till 9.30pm leh, hmmmm...let's set a time for K session ya :)

Ooh..will continue on my food journey soon...too tired for now..keke

Till then, ciao. Muakks!!

Isaribi Tei Japanese Restaurant

I'm super duper tired today. Woke up early, went over to Campbell Street market had breakfast, Koay Teow Th'ng and Chee Cheong Fun. Suddenly feeling ravenous that's why ordered so many things to eat :) After that, strolling around wet market. Sultry weather, extremely hot and i'm sweating like in sauna.

Then, went back home and start housekeeping. Finally, got chance to grab my dad in helping me to clear the third room. Full of dirt and trash. I guess 80% of stuffs in the room is my belongings. So messy till found some long lost toys, pressies, old books and other unwanted stuff. The room kinda small but it took me 7 hours straight to clear up all the mess..duh...from 12pm to 7pm...non-stop.

Tired but happy that everything settled before dinner...guess what, need to treat my dad dinner lor for helping me hehe. Of course my mom and granny also joined us. Decided to had Japanese cuisine at Isaribi Tei. Located at Chow Thye road, just next to Jemputree (will blog bout that later).

Nice food, nice environment, NICE price too.

Without hesitation, we ordered some ala-carte dishes. My dad favourite....Sukiyaki Beef

Sukiyaki Beef

Seafood Teppanyaki

Teriyaki Scallops

Salmon Temaki

Rainbow Maki

Yakitori

Miso Soup

Simply sumptious meal to fulfil my rapacious appetite. Whats more? It's great that they serve delectable varieties of home made ice cream delights. Special range of flavour....wasabi, miso, white sesame, black sesame, tempura *yes! i tried that* quite nice and also other common flavour.

Mocha Ice Cream

Blueberry Cheese Ice Cream

Tempura Ice Cream

Tempura Ice Cream spread with Red Bean

The blueberry cheese is delicious! While, Tempura ice cream is just like fried ice cream. Somehow abit oily for my liking but still taste nice. So tempted to try the wasabi flavor, save it for next visit.

Overall the food taste great and here came the bill.......

Total: RM 156.20

Stunt! Heart attack! Pengsan.....CPR plzzzz......Luckily got bring cc.

Doesn't matter though.....the most important thing is that me and my family enjoyed ourself throughout the dinner. I truly cherished the moments with them :)

Happy Deepavali and happy holidays my dear frenzzz.....

Muaaks! Ciao!

But i like the Lemongrass tea...strong enhancing aroma that really refresh my brain :o After drinking that, i felt more energised and out of sudden, i thought of some ideas too. Cool yeah *o*

I wonder how to make that drink.....

Ingolf's Kneipe German Bar and Restaurant

Our second visit to Ingolf Kneipe. Woohoo... The mushroom soup is sooo yummie! Thick and creamy....slurrrp p; The bread dip into it...gooood!

Thanks for the recommendation, Berry.

Creamy Mushroom Soup

As usual, the SAUSAGES!

German Style Curry Sausages

A pair of Smoked Country Sausages

A pair of Pork Sausages with Sauerkraut

I tried the pork sausages with sauerkraut. What is that? Sauerkraut? Googled it only to find out that it is finely shredded cabbage that has been fermented by various lactic acid bacteria, including Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus.^[1][2] It has a long shelf-life and a distinctive sour flavor, both of which result from the lactic acid that forms when the bacteria ferment the sugars in the cabbage. It is therefore not to be confused with coleslaw, which receives its acidic taste from vinegar. (Source from Wikipedia)....must mentioned, if not plagiarism pulak! I mean when do assignment time la..hehe

Frankly, the portion is quite big and i can't finish the whole plate. But, me and Elly still curi the fries and salad from Berry...keke...We are so tamsim.

and TAMJIAK

However, the sausages taste as good as ever. Felt so bloated after the meal. Luckily cancelled off dessert. If not.....

Went over to the cake shop next door to 'ta pau' a piece of Lemon Cheese Cake for breakfast...YuM yUm!

PS: I'll be on IDR soon....

Aik Hoe Restaurant

Dimsum...dimsum!

Craving for dimsum...so,woke up early to savour the steamy hot varieties of yummie dimsum. Went over to Aik Hoe Restaurant for a delightful breakfast.

This restaurant had been selling dimsum since 1952. The business operated from generation to generation for 56 years...wow! Definately a place for granny to indulge in reminiscence :)



Nice to start of with a cuppa chinese tea...i prefer 'heong pin'

why they alwaz serve 2 cups of tea for each person?

Enjoy!

The dimsum goes well with a dip in chinese wasabi aka 'kailat' mix with chilly sauce.

Tasty....tasty!

What a heavy breakfast for me. In fact i seldom eat breakfast but once a while i will crave for dimsum. It reminds me of my beloved granpa while dining at Aik Hoe. This is his favourite hang out place, chit chatting with his buddy while enjoying delicious dimsum.

So full untill i skipped lunch for the day;p

Winter Warmers

A cosy and comfortable environment that make a perfect place for chit chatting is at Winter Warmers.

I alwaz enjoy the Fruit Cocktail with a hint of sour and sweetness that will definately chilled me up.

Fruit Cocktail

Besides, the food also not bad. For a light brunch, Waffles indeed a good option. Portion not too big, not too small.

Tuna Waffles

Waffles with Vanilla Ice Cream

Lasagna

Varieties of delicious drink

It's just too perfect to soothes us down in this kind of hot weather.

Trying out the WIFI. Saja saja only...nothing to do ma.....

Ciao! XoXo!

Maa Roy Thai Restaurant

Thai food had always been one of my favourite cuisine. The authentic cuisine brings out flavour of hot, spicy, sour and sweet. A perfect combination for a delightful indulgence as whole. Recently, found out one of the Thai restaurant at Abu Sittee Lane. This restaurant really serves great food as the chef mainly from Thailand. While, the taste is excellent especially Tom Yam soup.

There are varieties to chose from the extensive menu. It also indicate 'chef from Thailand' at the front cover :)

Appetiser - Cucumber & Long beans with sambal

Meng Kum

Seafood Tomyam

Kerabu Salad

Fried Chicken Joint

Stir Fry Mixed Vege

Curry Chicken

Thai Style Steam Fish

Every dish was great. The steam fish is so fresh and sprinkled with lots of garlic, onion, cili padi and most importantly lemon grass. This truly brings out the aroma of the fish and soup. Ooh...its extremely sour. But is still like it and managed to drink up all the soup. Non of my family members can take it though ;p My dad nearly puke out! *blah*

This hearty meal really satisfy my tastebud. *Thumbs Up*

Rojak Celup

New way to eat rojak.

Found out a new place for Rojak Celup. Located in Pantai Bersih, Butterworth, this stall sell very special kind of rojak. Not like the conventional type where fruits mix with sauce togather.

But

This

Those fruits are nicely arrange in a stick (like lok lok type). Varieties to chose from. Mango, guava, pink jambu, cuttlefish, tomatoes, quail eggs, fish balls....



And then...just dip the stick fruit in this special rojak sauce with lots of chunky peanuts. (Arghh...i hate nuts ^_^) But i still dip into it, no choice.

Very very spicy....

Actually they have both spicy and non-spicy sauce. But i opt for the spicy one ;p

Special way to eat rojak yea....Its cheap, only 40 cents per stick. End up i'm eating like RM6-RM7 like that. How many sticks?? *wink*

However, i stil prefer the traditional type. I find it not hygiene as everyone standing there dipping in the same sauce over and over again. While the stick is recyclable. But its a nice experience though.
