majestic hoteli was spring cleaning my office drawers & i found this sachet of coffee.... yup! it was from the MAJESTIC HOTEL, Nathan Road, Kowloon...... the place where hubby & i stayed when we went to HONG KONG for our honeymoon (oct 4th-7th '05)...

how time flies.... i've been married for one and a half year now but it just seems like yesterday that i just got married.... hehehe....

delicacy from the above pic, what do u think my two colleagues are having for snack???

they actually want to send out a message from this pic:

YUMMY! This is delicious....wanna try some?

hmmm.. it's actually a delicacy bought by one of the boss who went to Thailand recently and he introduced to us this "claimed" delicacy: FRIED GRASSHOPPERS........ me alwiz being the not so adventuruos type of person did not try this so called delicacy at all! NEVER EVER!

I just can't imagine myself having a bite of this........ how could they say it's a nice snack??? i think i'll never understand the reason why anyone of us could gulp down this grasshoppers.....

i tried looking into the box of FRIED GRASSHOPPERS for a few times & each time it became worse when i feel like vomitting..... DO YOU???

FINDING NEMO

i still remember when i watched this cartoon movie a couple of years back with my dear hubby, it was during school holidays, so the cinema was packed with KIDS who can't stop talking......

but it was fun!... i like the animation & the storyline..... my fav character is of course the pretty DORY......

and this time around, hubby & i was 2nd time lucky coz AGAIN we hv won a pair of ticket to watch DISNEY ON ICE- FINDING NEMO on April 7th '07 (saturday 8.30pm)....

yup! last year we both oso won a pair of ticket to watch DISNEY ON ICE too .... but that time it was not FINDING NEMO... it was a mixture of Beauty & The Beast, Cinderella etc.....

and coincidentally this time around, our good frens, MR & MRS HA also won a pair of the tickets(actually, they are the one who informed me that we hv won the tickets).... guess that we will most probably car pool together....

So, anyone of you who are interested to watch this DISNEY ON ICE, you may still purchase the tickets online

surprise! surprise!

hubby called me yesterday evening while i was at oneU.... and to my surprise, he called me again just now.... two calls in two days.... it just make me so happy & i miss him more now.... countdown to 6 days before hubby is home...... yippie!!!

SKY SKY

SKY, my family's dog has grown so much for the past few months... it is now a charming dog.... when it's not barking of course.....

malaysians again...

my family & i was heading back to the carpark after having seafood dinner at one of the restaurants in NOTHPORT..... and this is what we saw:
*** can you see that this STUPID DUMMY CAR is parked rite in front of the main entrance to the restaurant??? there is ample of parking bays around but THE STUPID DUMMY DRIVER does not bother at all ***

a fun filled day at oneU

yesterday after work, saturday(1/2 day work onli), a group of us (me, Joyce, Joanne B, Cynthia, Yvonne, Chan & Nic) went to oneU for lunch (minus NIC), bowling & movie.... we watched the chinese movie, IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE! hmmm... the movie is so so... it's a comedy one..... and we ended the day with dinner at SS2, PJ.....

firstly for lunch, we had chinese food at SOHO...located in between the old & new wings..... beside Johnny's steamboat........it's a bit like dragon-I restaurant... in comparison, SOHO caters more for dim sum... but dragon-I has more variety of desserts and side dishes.... both oso serve lai mian....

* we played two games each & the results dispalyed here is the 2nd game one. can se my result there??? P= 62, hehehe *

lastly, we had dinner at the PRINCE CAFE, SS2, PJ..... the menu is similiar to KIM GARY restaurant.... anyway, PRINCE CAFE has nicer environment there coz GREEN (my fav colour) is their theme... green uniform... green walls..... green menu.... as for the food, KIM GARY is better....

bought two packets of this four angled beans for my mummy but she said she doesn't want it. so what i did was i tried cooking a packet of it...

method:

- add a little bit of oil, stir-fry garlic + dried shrimp until the dried shrimp turn red/cook

bak kut teh

i am not a pork-lover person.... it's true.... dunno how to explain.... i onli eat a few selected type of pork which is either fried, roast (i onli eat the crispy skin a.k.a. suckling pig), sweet & sour, char siew (onli the type which is BBQ badly - those a bit burnt lah)........

i just can't stand the smell of the pork meat... when i was much younger, i LOVE eating pork... i can still remember that as a kid, i love vinegar pork trotter, roast pork, just any type of pork.... but as i enter secondary school, things change.... i started to avoid RED MEAT except DUCK meat... means no pork, beef or mutton for me, please!

must be because of the pig farm visit i had when i was in my school days.... that totally change my way of eating PORK and other red meat.....

anyway, back to my post topic: BAK KUT TEH.... this is one of the pork dish that i still consume (minus the pork meat of course) as long as the soup does not taste so much of pork meat.....

last week, me & my two colleagues went for lunch at one of my fav BAK KUT TEH stall... the name of the shop is AH SING BAK KUT TEH at Kampung Baru Subang.... as usual, i will order my own claypot of BAK KUT TEH- meatless (pork-less lor)........... onli got vege+tau fu pok+button mushrooms... too bad they don't hv "yau char kueh" that day......

it was a satisfying meal as the soup is nice...... herbal soup with not much pork meat smell..... just nice for me...... slurppp........

KONG HEE FATT CHOY

oops..... just realised that i did not put up a post to wish all of you a happy KONG HEE FATT CHOY!

-> may you prosper in all field: love, career, family etc....

today is oledi the 9th day of CNY.... another 6 days before CHAP GOH MEI... so, here wishing you in advance a happy CHAP GOH MEI too..... hehehe

my house

as recommended by Mrs Ha, i found this personality site interesting as i spent almost 15 minutes sketching this house of mine.... hehehe....


Based on my drawing and the 10 answers i gave this is a summary of my personality:

Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person. You are shy and reserved. If you've drawn a cross on each of windows, you always want to live alone. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes.

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You see the world as it is, not as you believe it should be.

You are not a romantic person by nature. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.

weird dream

i hv this weird dream(s) last nite(or early this morning)....... i can still remember it clearly.... dunno why.......

1st case
went to this company trip with my hubby....and when hubby reversed his car, accidentally scratch my colleague, rachel's car..... she straight away got into her car and drive it to bang my hubby's car :(

she then very pissed of me......... and don't want to lunch with my from that day onwards..... she then ask my hubby to compensate back RM 7,744.00........

2nd case
went to cinema, bought movie tickets but the seats are 3 front rows from the screen... but when we entered the cinema hall, the tickets are for the 1st front row from the screen... what the heck? i'm the type of person who insist getting what i have purchased/ promised...

and when i tell the usherer that i wanna complain, he answered "Please feel free to complain but the complaint place is further down the road"...and so, off i went to complain together with my boss, joanne wong......... if i don't remember wrongly, i did not manage to complain... dunno office close or wat.... forget oledi.....

back to the story, as we walk back to the cinema, we passed by many stalls selling sugar cane, roasted chestnuts etc......... but never bought anything..... and before we entered back the cinema hall, i need to use the toilet.... and guess what type of toilets that the cinema had there? i saw two toilet doors....

1st one is with the label MEN/ LADIES (one sharing toilet with a few cubicles inside)......... and 2nd one is for KIDS.... of course i chose the MEN/ LADIES one-lah... coz i'm not a kid mah....... bad luck..... the toilet was super dirty... with a lot of "maggi mee" lying on the floor..... sigh..... i need to use the toilet badly.... so, off i went to the KIDS toilet.... as i wanna lock the toilet door, someone(a lady) wanna use it too and i tried my best to close the door as she tried to push in....... then..... RRrriiiingg....... my alarm clock buzz off........

CNY day 3

as usual, since my uni days, most of my CNY is not complete without a trip to Kuala Selangor(KS) for house visiting & seafood lunch with a few good frens.....

and now from my new home at Setia Alam plus with the smooth road all along the way & no traffic jam, we managed to reach KS in about 30 minutes.... not bad huh.....

this time around, we went in two cars (hubby, me, mr yeoh, mrs yeoh, ms yeoh joo yee- one year old bb girl...... hehehe, jian yee & li sun).......... our usual local KS tour guide , boo guan's house was the 1st stop....

then... what else but the lovely seafood lunch at Sungai Yu Restaurant .....7 adults and one bb girl...... the meal cost us about RM 140.00 ++ (just about RM 20.00 per person)........ thanks hubby for the treat!
