• had late dinner with former college friends at Yuen's steamboat..supposed to meet there at 8pm..but CL was still rushing her work in the office..so i went with Lyn 1st and we reached there around 8.30pm..parking was a slight issue n we ended up parking somewhere that was considerably dark..but at least there was 2 of us..Andrew was the lucky one who got a parking right opposite Yuen..ahem..thanks to us who pointed it out to him else he would have missed it..
• got a table at around 9pm..n CL came a short while later..wanted to try the infamous chicken wings..but those ppl *rolled eyes* were queing for it even before it was replenished..mint ice cream didnt taste like mint at all..another disappointment..
• but seriously, i don't get why everyone is so crazy abt yuen's..it's just like any other normal steamboat places..and it's overpriced..there are similar places in kepong and other places that charge a much lower price, say, ard rm13/head..overall..other than the price and the crowd..the food is only so so..the place looked unkempt..and it was hot cuz we were allocated to a table near the corners where the fan could not reach..am not sure if there was any aircond at all cuz i didnt feel it..ppl were sweating like mad everywhere..
• so i guess for rm20++/head..i would rather go for the new fully air-conditioned steamboat buffet place in kepong..it's a conveyor belt steamboat restaurant..nice concept eh..
• food aside, catching up with old friends was the best part..esp with Andrew and CL since i seldom see them around..

• went pyramid with Andrew n CL..CL's b'day today ^^ so we sort of had cake at zen..erm..considered a cake gua..tho it was in a glass..
• didnt get to watch public enemies cuz of the timing and the cinema was full even tho we were 10 minutes late for that movie..
• saw David Lim at tgv also trying to decide on what movie to watch cuz of the odd timing..movies were either 2pm++ or 6pm++..and we were stuck in between those times..

my 23rd year on earth..

I'm officially 23..hmm..somehow i feel so much older than that..for awhile i really thought i was supposed to be 24 this yr..i don't know why i lost track of my own age..not that i've been in this world for that long rite..while being confused, my boyfie confused me further by convincing me that my age was 24 this yr..followed by a miscalculation leading me to believe that i'm 24 for a few hours til i started calculating with my fingers again and asking my family members of my age >.< overall i've had one of the best b'days..not much of celebrating..but rather, spending time with my guy before he goes back home for 3 weeks was how i wanted to spend my day..he made my day special..thanks a bunch honey =) lately i've not been a good friend since i was always busy and not keeping in touch much with my friends..i'm so sorry guys..i do feel terribly guilty over it..and so i expected a quiet b'day this yr but being spammed by all the b'day messages on msn, fb and my hp from the start of 12am til the end of my b'day at 11.58pm the next day was awfully touching..Just when i thought it was over, i've received 2 bouquet of roses the next morn..



a pretty mixed bouquet from Xander, John, Marcus and Maxine..






this was from Wai Kien and Hui Teng..



and then..later that day, i've received a courier package from Melbourne with another rose inside..it was a soap carved red rose from lux soap..Thanks alot Kevin..at least this is one rose that will never wilt ^o^













Aww..aren't they precious? i love them so much..thanks a bunch guys =D

our night out to KL for a change

Of all a sudden, someone i've not talked to for a very long time just called me up and asked me and my frens for a drink..so what the heck, i called up a few frens and we went to Luna bar for the 1st time..and also my 1st time drinking cocktails..i know..damn jakun rite..i rarely go down to kl city center for the matter since i prefer places like mont kiara or sri hartamas..and even bangsar..and i rarely drink cocktails since people i go out with tend to drink hard liquor more..so there we were at 9pm, it was a nice restaurant to dine at with yummy pizzas (square thin crusted ones..reminds me of those at flem's cafe in pyramid last time..) and a pretty breathtaking sky view on the 34th floor (a nice view of KL tower and KLCC on different sides)..the main floor of Luna has a swimming pool and there are glass dining cubicles giving diners a 270 degrees view of the city, while the upper deck showed an even better view but it's only open after 10pm for some unknown reasons..and the upper deck had limited bar stools..so it's good that my friend was given the priority since she knew the manager there..the view itself is worth the visit..the italian pizza (with pepperoni and grilled mushroom and mozarella cheese toppins..) was great..the salmon pizza and cheese pizza was decent..

overall it was a very nice place to hang out with friends before 10pm..good pizzas, nice city view, comfy..it doesnt matter if conversation runs dry since we're relaxing that way..it's a restaurant bar before 10pm and after that it changes into a clubbing atmosphere..but the good thing is, diners do not have to pay a cover charge while clubbers have to..there was a wide range of cocktails and mocktails there..honestly..i tot that long island iced tea was a non-alcoholic tea drink coz of the name..and also the long beach iced tea..and so, i sipped a little and it was sweet, fruity and i tot there was a hint of alcohol in it..so what the heck rite, i ordered 2 of each since it was too yummy to stop drinking..until it hit me and i started feeling funny esp when i stood up n couldnt feel my legs..that's when i realised that those 2 drinks were really strong..the best part was that my mind's still sharp and clear tho my limbs were uncontrollable..my fren suggested for me to try an even stronger one, the "zombie"..it was another fruity alcoholic drink with a few different rums, sugar syrup, citrus taste..and then he suggested another one, the "irish car bomb" that was a mix of whiskey with irish cream or the bartender said something about whiskey + Bailey's + guinness..he told us to chug it down the moment it starts to foam else it will start to curdle..it tasted abit like choc milk..yummy..so i had another one..apparently this was stronger than the other 3 drinks i had earlier..that's when i sat down and stoned for half an hour til i felt better..and then..my frens asked the bartender for an even stronger one..now this one had a strange name --> "adios mother fucker" (=.=")..i think i saw the bartender pouring in some sprite or 7up, with vodka, rum, tequila, gin, sour mix and something called blue curacao (i have no idea at all what is it but that's was labelled on the bottle i saw)..apparently the soft drink's carbonation enhances the effect..after that drink, we were near k.o..it was just 12 that time..so imagine what a bunch of alcoholics we were to drink so much within 3 hours..i wonder how bad is the extent of my brain damage on that nite itself..hmm..but at least i like the treatment we got there since we managed to get pizzas and drinks that were on the house cuz of my frens and the bartender..otherwise i would be too cheapskate to go to a place like this..

wedding dinner

attended a wedding dinner few weeks ago with my mum..it was my cousin sis' wedding at Time Square hotel..lots of relatives there but i have not much clue on how to acknowledge them or how was i related to them in the first place..the food prep by the hotel was only so so..edible but didn't have that ummph factor..and absolutely hated the way the hotel staff diluted the brandy's and whisky's..felt as if i was drinking cold water with slight alcohol taste instead..too bad grandma sat on another table..getting worried abt her lately..back getting really hunched, having bad joint aches around the legs, could barely walk and had to be pushed around with a wheelchair..and lately her hands are shaking non stop..pray that it would not be the onset of Parkinsons'..sort of degenerating really fast of all a sudden..which means that time is prolly running out..but come to think of it..she's quite old already..this year she would probably be around 85 yrs old..i wonder if i can ever live that long..
