Makan Trip - First Stop : IPOH

So we planned to go Penang for our Makan Trip on the 18-20 Dec and since we're gonna pass by Ipoh, we decided to stay one night on the 17th so that we don't have to rush the next morning. We (Kenny, Peks, Uncle Mun, Smelly and me) left KL at about 11pm and reached Ipoh about 1a.m. and went straight to Restoran Sun Tuck Kee for supper.

testing camera.

trying to figure out how to use the camera. my sifu of the entire trip is none other than Uncle Mun!

meh.. suckballs. still alot to learn.

*photo stolen from Uncle Mun

yummylicious squid.

fried hor fun. simple but very flavorful.

fried meehoon. again, it's very simple meal. but taste great! i think very hard to find similar taste in KL.

sorry bad lighting. but super yummy wat tan hor. unlike the wat tan hor in KL, theirs is very dark and watery. i can't decide which version i like better..

the next morning, we went to Fu San for breakfast, Deric and Christine reached just in time.

they shifted to a new place. more spacious and well.. new..

fried lobak gou. taste so-so.

prawn siew mai

bestest siew mai! i think besides Fu San's siew mai, i hardly eat others cos so hard to find siew mai that doesn't have strong pork taste! this one is fav!

dumpling in soup.

fish balls. fresh!

fried prawn. damn best!!!!

chee cheong fun is normal though

another reason to go back to Fu San. my fav pork ribs!! best best bestest!!

hot Chinese tea is a must when dim sum-ing.

Groupies.

of course we won't leave Ipoh without having their white coffee!! the Old Town (franchise) taste nothing close to this!


After coffee, we're all set to continue our makan journey up north!

Another Day To Remember

Last Friday (11^th Dec 2009) was another day for me to remember. It was a day that I'll remember to be good to my parents. To my family members. To people that I care. To my friends. To appreciate them while they're all still here. Last Friday, was the day I lost my gramma. 2 weeks ago was the last time I saw her, smiling at me, even though I knew that she don't remember my name. Just 2 weeks ago, I told dad that she looked healthier than before. He told me it's because of a supplement that she took for a while now. Yes, we all saw some improvements cos she looked healthier and she actually answered us back when we ask her the most asked question, "have you eaten?", she will smile and say "yes, eaten", unlike the usual don't-bother attitude and pretend not listening.

Yes, I was sad. And I cried when I heard the news. I cried because I planned to see her in the afternoon but she left in the morning. But I didn't cry in front of her. I know she's happier where she is now. Besides family members, the only person who cries nonstop was my maid who took care of her for almost 2 years. She bathed her, slept with her, watched tv with her, fed her and accompanied her every single day. Every time we do prayers and every time she looks at gramma lying lifeless in the coffin, she will burst into tears. She cried for 2 days, day and night. And when we mentioned gramma, she will look very sad. I think it's normal for her to felt this way. It's like losing her family member too.

photo taken in June 09. i asked her to smile for the camera

I remember writing about her broken hips early this year and how her Alzheimer's got worse than ever and we're all ready for her departure. But just few weeks ago, I thought she'll have more time. But I guess her time is really up. She went to a better, happier place, without sickness, without ill-memories. I remember just few months ago, every time I sit down and look at her, my heart aches. Tears fell down uncontrollably. And I always wished that she still remembers my name. I guess she stopped trying to remember anything. Perhaps remembering is harder and more depressing than forgetting.

 

 

i took these photos in May and wrote something about gramma, but it's still in the draft until now. hmm. 

i hope gramma found her happiness.

My New Love.

Tailo's Wedding.

woke up at 4.30a.m on Sunday to get ready for Sam's wedding. we have to go to Kuala Selangor from Subang to get the bride and rush back to Subang and then rush to Klang for the wedding lunch.

Good morning sleepyhead!

seriously, if it's not because of Sam, i die die also won't wake up so early! sigh! things that i do for my beloved ex-boss.. *pat self*

loving my owl necklace from Diva

Hew(in blue) fetched me and met up with the boys at Kinrara cos we're car pooling. boost up with coffee and preparing ang pau for Sam. since Hew didn't sleep and Vincent only got few hours, i drove from Subang to K.Selangor to and fro. actually it's damn tiring cos total 3 hours drive! wtf.. i only slept for 2 hours!

while waiting for the bride's side to open the groom's door. testing the multishot.

the little kid (i think it's the bride's nephew or something) refused to open the door. LOL! so we had to wait and tipu him to open the door. wtf!! if he duwanna open then how? cannot get married? wtf!!

finally got out. ah po was the best man.

apa lagi? kena from the ji muis..

kena force again.. and both of their first gay kissed were given to each other. ftl! haha!

Smelling which tissue with lipstick stamp and "smell" belongs to the bride.

and then.. er.. my camera ran out of battery. fml.

so after getting the bride, we went back to Subang and off to Klang for the lunch. slept in the car cos it's another 45 mins drive (i think) and when i woke up, we just reached. apparently i snored in the car. *shy*

bumped into ex colleagues and got insulted by another ex boss! wtf! he kept saying that i fat already. "denise ah.. ni fei liao hor?" repeat 5 times. fml.

more photos when i get it from Hew.

off to gym!

Duck King at Jaya One

After so much raves about this place, Smelly finally brought me there for dinner last weekend along with his dad. we went to Duck King at Jaya One. apparently their duck is very delicious. juicy tender meat and crispy skin.

instead of the usual peanuts, we get tofu for the "appetizer". ew.. hate cube tofu in general so no comments.

we ordered a combination platter which have roast duck, roast pork belly and char siew.

the duck tastes really nice. very tender and juicy. not too much fatty layer too. but i still prefer the one at pj er.. forgot the name. that one nicer. click here for photos .

duck goes along very well with the sweet sauce.

char siew roast to perfection. but the taste is very normal. Meng Kee at alor have better char siew.

surprisingly the siew yok is very nice! i like the crispy skin and it's not too fatty also.

dunno what organic vege. i like almost all types of veges so.. this is nice. very refreshing.

claypot homemade tofu. the taste of this dish is just right. not too overpowering with oyster sauce. i like! i only eat this type of tofu. not the cube ones.... meh..

their rice is very fragrant, slightly too sticky but i like! maybe i'm too hungry. tried their rice topped with pork oil. er.. not nice. too oily with er.. oil aftertaste.. heh.. Smelly said the oil rice was once very delicious when he visited earlier, just after they open. not the standard dropped a bit already.

we didn't manage to finish all the food so we tapau back for his brother. bill came up to about RM130. not very cheap. i think i'll opt for the duck in the other restaurant. PLC (peng leng cheng!)

Alliance Bank Customer Service - BAD

Customer service : *monotone* Good morning, i'm XXXX.

dy: hi, i'm about to make a payment for my ABC loan, just wanna check with you the account number.

CS : *monotone* ok. before that can i  make a verification?

dy : ok.

CS : IC number?

dy : XXX (i wonder what's the point of me keying in my IC number before she answered the phone and still got asked for verification. damn redundant)

CS : billing address?

dy : XXX

CS : loan approved amount?

dy: XXX  (i still don't understand why you want to verify me with hundreds of questions!!!! usually, max 2 important questions is sufficient)

CS : last 4 digit of your loan account number?

dy : (WTF???) i don't know the account number THAT'S WHY I CALLED.

CS : oh.. it's XXXXXX

dy : thank you.

*proceed to make payment but found out she gave me the other loan account number. wtf! i mentioned clearly which loan i want to pay! ugh.. luckily i noticed it before i confirm payment!

customer service people nowadays.. sigh! i can understand that it's a boring job cos i've been there, done it, but hey.. at least you can sound more cheerful? it's only 10am! and at least you listen carefully before verifying me with stupid questions.

Once Upon A Time... Well.. Not Long Ago.....

i was cleaning up my photos folder and i found a photo of me taken last year in December.

ok fine.

this will be the motivation to go gym.

was it the angle or was i THAT thin? i don't remember being THAT thin!!!

I'm not sure if it's worth it anymore.

I don't get young people nowadays. Don't they have a certain level of responsibilities? Well at least to prove to their family that they're actually capable of doing something meaningful and less hurtful? When they made mistakes, any mistakes, for sure as family members, we will nag/lecture/scold/advise/whatever, cos that's the way it should be, right? I was a teenager and I obviously know what's happening and what the stage of growing up and soul searching was (not that I'm very old and very much experienced in that, but at least I went through it). Well, to say that a girl matures faster than a boy is an overstatement imho. I've seen boys who mature at a very young age. I don't understand why certain young people like to blame the people around them for their own mistakes. Can't you just admit it? We forgave you for whatever crap and shits you created but you never learn from it! You create new mess for us after we clean the previous ones. Why do you have to play with our tender love and care? We all know that you're taking us for granted because every time we said we will never care anymore, we fail to keep our promise. Have you had any idea how many tears of disappointment and worries we shed because of you? Yes.. it's our fault for spoiling you. It's our fault that you became the way you are now. It's our fault that you can't find a part time job to earn extra allowance for your entertainments. It's our fault caring too much.

I seriously don't know what to say anymore.

We are all very disappointed. We did not let you fall. Our hands were there all along for you to grab it and climb back up. But you chose not to even look at it. You chose to fall deeper. You chose to shut us down.

We just want you to know that we're all always here to keep you back as long as you're ready to change for better. Now, it's your choice to make. After all, we're just a guidance... we're not you.

Difference Between A Guy & A Girl

We were browsing through the internet for racer seats cos Smelly bought a car and it only comes with ONE racer seat (wtf right.. only one!! Stupid previous owner!) so we had to get a pair to replace it so that it’ll look more handsome! It’s not cheap lo… cheapest is like.. RM2,000 for a normal one. Smelly told me that one good seat can costs about RM10,000! ONE!! If one pair is like RM20,000!!! Wtf!! Can buy a second hand car! So we’re browsing through and I kept saying that it’s expensive lah.. why would you buy a 2 thousand ringgit car seat.. give me the money for shopping, better right? Then he’s like…

“I don’t understand…”

“What?”

“Why women can spend RM8,000 for a tiny bag???  You can get a pair of car seat for RM2,000!!!”

Wtf!! Hahaha!! You should see his face when he said that!

Well.. because we can’t carry the seat to show off!!! Lol!

My Boyfriend Is So Pretty...

- Getting money from your loved ones out of the blue cos you complained hinted that you’re running out of cash few days ago.

- You managed to compulsively buy cheap flight ticket to your favourite country.

- You have a supercute niece that you can babysit during weekends!

What I Miss

I was browsing through some of the old photos and found these. OMG!! I miss that workplace! look at the space that i had. sigh! and the privacy is like super privilege okay!! sobz.. now everyone can see what's on my screen whenever they pass by. wtf. damn insecure lo.. not that i have much secret la.. but i still miss the privacy. oh well.. the things i let go to "pursue" my so called "dreams". why there's always pro and cons la..?

everything is good. well, except for the monitor. :P

but seriously, i miss the telephone, the personal printer (though it's monochrome), the BIG PRIVATE space (though it's not room), the chair (OMG the chair!! now i had terrible but bearable one la.. still..) and the most important thing.. i miss my boss! T_T (though my current boss is very nice too... cannot compare cos both different style. come to think about it.. so far i miss working with 2 of my ex bosses. they are so nice lor.. one is like a brother to me and one is like a father to me.. huhuhu...)

but then.. restricted internet access and starting work at 8.30am is like the only 2 things that i don't miss. hmm. and the jam. omg the jam. (actually traffic here also quite bad lah.. but working hours starts at 9am. it makes a HUGE difference to me).

how i wish my current office have private cubicles for everyone. bleh! 

back to work!
