I can't believe it's already October. Time is sweeping by at an outrageous speed. Hardly have enough time to get everything done.

Firstly, happy birthday to Mel. Her birthday was on the 5th and I think this is my 5th time or so wishing her. On Sun (4th), we went to Nambawan to celebrate with her. Lydia turned up with burnt pancakes which she really thought were her birthday cake gone wrong. Ah! Mel, she believes just about everything anyone says. Lydia, the 'professional chef' spoilt her reputation. She's such a good cook she could hardly burn the pancakes so much so some of them she used dark chocolate to make it 'look' burnt. We had candles and everything so Mel really fell for it. AND she was happy with it. Haha.

But after dinner, Nick brought out the real cake which was caramel cheesecake. A randomly selected flavour which so happened was Mel's favourite. Telepathy maybe? Hmm.. She was so shocked to see a REAL cake she just stared at it. Poor girl..

The innocent birthday girl

Caramel Cheese Cake from Cake Sense

Grilled Lamb in Butter Mint Sauce (what I had)

Standing (from left): Nick, Sam, Darren, Wei Ping
Seated (from left): Me, Jasmyn, Mel, Lydia

Food here is good and reasonably priced. Check out Nick's viewpoint here and Darren's report here.

On another note, all thanks to God that weekend classes for P2 are cancelled. It has been rescheduled to next Friday instead. Had been praying past few days because my Saturdays were all packed and I didn't want to miss church. I certainly didn't want to miss class as well. God opened a way and now I can still go about my Saturday programs and not miss church and yet still able to attend classes.

Also, wishing Happy Birthday to Xing Ying who'll be celebrating her birthday on the 9th.

It's been a busy and wonderful weekend and holiday, though it was only 4 days.

On Saturday:
4pm
I went for taiwanese dessert with Michelle, Ann Ee and Sam. It was my first time there. It was surprisingly good. I ordered the best seller, so did most people. Best seller ma..


5.30pm
Some of my classmates and I went to Mel's house for BBQ. 11 of us cramped in her apartment and her poor but awesome parents allowed us to make a mess in her house (which wasn't really a mess since her mum thought we mopped the floor as it was so clean). Didn't have the chance to take pictures since my camera had no battery. Battery used up by my sis who didn't charge it after using and I had no idea where she had put the charger. Grrr.. but we had so many photographers so not to worry.. You can check out the photos here written by Nick or here by Darren.

11.30pm
Reached home. Did some P2 homework and showered.

On Sunday:
2am
Slept.

5am
Woke up. Drove half the journey to Penang!! (my second home). Reached around 10.30am.

Basically, I'm not going to say everything I did or rather ate in Penang because it will take forever. I might post it on my other blog (if I have the time). But, I had a good time there eating and just hanging out with my relatives. I wanna go back again!! Hmph.. Most likely next chance would be December. =(

Wen Wei (just tempted to put a pic of her)

  

Overall, just wished holidays were longer.

Had F7 EDC today. Almost overslept again. =)

After that had lunch at Pyramid. Ate at Ajisen Ramen. Ordered something which I forgot the name. (It was quite long and I just finished F7 class). They had there in the menu 3 chillies so I ordered expecting it to be spicy. It turned out to not have any single spiciness. So I added more chilli to make it spicier but it is still not spicy at all. Quite disappointed, really. But the food's okay.

Then we went to watch Angel & Demons. It was smart, as usual, Dan Brown. Some parts were quite predictable even though I haven't read the book. (Maybe because I'm as smart as them). Haha.

Other than that, a pretty normal day.

Ijok Seafood

A group of 11 of us went to Ijok for some seafood. Heard that the food there is good so we decided to try it out.

We decided to go for the set meal they provided. However, reservations must be made first.

The menu

All the main course (except the fruits) came after only 20 minutes. The service was very fast.

Beggar's Chicken - their specialty


Zhu Shou (Pig's Knuckles)


Duck


Glutinous Rice


Soup - a bit pepperish

Steamed Fish


Prawns


Size of just one prawn


Crabs

The food is really good and portion is quite big. Price is somewhat reasonable considering there's so many dishes. =)

THANKS!!

Thanks to all who remembered and celebrated my birthday with me yesterday.

Darren, Joshua, Sophie, Eric, Jon, Kenny & Rebecca for having dinner at Chilis. Thanks Darren for fetching me back. And guys, thanks for the ball!!

Mel, Edwin & Khar who came and pick me for bak kut teh, Edwin for driving me around and even ended up getting lost twice!!

All who wished me personally and messaged and called me, THANKS!!

OK.. This is beginning to sound like some Grammy's Award Ceremony..

In the morning, Edwin, Mel and Khar came to pick me up and we went Klang for bak kut teh.. We had a great time and ate too much... Then Edwin drove us to Mei Kim's house and then drop me at church.
After youth, Darren, Josh, Sophie, Eric, Jon, Kenny & Rebecca went to 1u Chilis and had to wait quite long to be seated as it was packed and they wouldn't accept reservations. After that, we went home.

Generally, I was really blessed by you guys who came all out to help me yesterday. And also, I was really overjoyed and extremely happy when MU thrashed Arsenal 4-0!! Good job guys!!

Anyway, thanks guys really... =)

CNY=Eat Too Much=Fat

After traveling for 2 hours and 45 minutes, I finally arrived at Penang. Thank goodness there wasn't any traffic jam like last year. I woke up at 3.30am yesterday and left KL at 5am. I slept half the journey and when I reached here, hoping I could go back to sleep in a proper bed, my cousin went out to limteh (penang's equivalent of yamcha) with his friends and so we were all stuck outside the house. He finally came home 35 minutes later. But, when I went into the house, I didn't sleep either. Hehe.. My cousin watched some Chinese drama series on DVD and so we marathoned till around 10pm (yes, morning till night). In the process, we finished 4 big tins of kuih kapit and some other CNY cookies. After that, we went for supper (eat again) and then played cards till around 4am this morning. And now my family have all gone out leaving my cousin and I at home finishing more kuih kapit.

I know I'll definitely put on weight this CNY like any other CNYs. I eat and drink non-stop and even though I don't eat much mandarin oranges (I have like 4 boxes and only half of one box is gone) I'll still grow fat blaming it on everything else. I read somewhere in the newspaper few days back how 4 mandarin oranges is equivalent to eating a plate of rice. And I haven't even eaten the reunion dinner yet.

Goodness, I can't continue eating like this. Or maybe I'll just eat less AFTER cny..
Yup.. That sound like a better plan. I'm so not ready to give up my kuih kapit just yet.

Today..
I went to Aeon Bukit Tinggi Klang and had KFC for lunch. This reminded me of the time I had KFC with Darren, Mel, and Khar En. I remembered Darren put the bread wrapped with tissue in Khar En's bag.

The next day...

Us: Hey Khar En, did you find anything in your bag ar?
Khar: What? Find what?
Us: Anything wrapped in a tissue?
Khar: Ohh... Ceh.. Tahat wan I throw away already lor... What is it anyway?
Us: What? You threw away something without even looking at what it is first?
Khar: Aiya.. I just see it's not mine ma I throw away laa...
Us: *sweats literally* (who throws away something without looking?)
Us: So.. If next time your boyfriend wraps a diamond ring in a tissue to surprise you and puts it in your bag, you'll just throw it away?
Khar: Aiya.. That time I will go find back la..
Us: Then go find back the thing you found in your bag and threw away la..
Khar: For what? Nothing valuable also..
Us: So next time you'll tell that to your bf also la?
Khar: Aiya(this girl likes to say aiya wan).. If it's diamond ring, I'll go find it la.. Can sell ma..
Us: ... *sweats and immediately faints*

Beware: This girl (Khar En) is not for the faint of heart. The way she talks.. Gosh.. Only she can come out with things like these...

Khar En, this post is for you..
