Kampung Life

I wish to hav a kampung, i mean those wooden papan house by the hut...okay, mayb at the rice field. Recently i hav been mesmerized by the Raya decors at malls, which displayed those olden-days items, with mock kampung house...I hav nver been to a real one, but those houses are...simply unique. Here's one from Ikano mall.

The raya festive mood is still on, with me craving for lemangs and rendangs, but tis year round, i did not make it to the gah-ver-men open house, not bcoz im anti-gah-ver-men, but it was hosted out of KL...why lah not do it at PWTC???

I rather sell Char Kuey Teow...

If not for the various choices of local food, Char Kuey Teow could be one of my fav. Years ago, when i was a kid, i craved for it alot. It was cheap back then, around $1.80 per plate, but price hav sky-rocketed over the past years and it can now fetch up to $4.50 with a tiny portion. Despite trying a number of char kuey teows around Klang Valley, there is still none that beats those in Penang. Perhaps i hav to head back to Penang to satisfy my craving?

It looks good but not yummy @ all.

But still, it is not cheap

those hawkers are making BIG MONEY by selling these.

I too want to become a char kuey teow seller...

huge profit business, anyone???

There's more to LIFE besides WORK

Recently i hav been seeing quite a number of similar Facebook captions, with 'frustrated' and 'stressed' as the keyword. Understandable that year end is getting near, with many are rushing for projects, hence resulting in such negativity mood.

Well, i m frustrated too sometimes, mostly with colleagues who failed to deliver quality work (hence affecting my operation, wtf!)

While being surrounded by that kinda negativity aura, it seems like the world is hopeless and my life is so much miserable...

Not until one day, i saw these pics, and it reminded me that life is NOT just about work...it is more than that!

Picturesque scenery, fashionable clothes, yummylicious foodie...cute guys...so on so forth...

pretty young not-so-young lady by the window, overlooking the garden

(black coffee) Lasagna with cream soup @ boh cafeteria, cameron highlands Chicken with bbq sauce, also from the same place back to the scenery, somewhere Cameron the hills are alive with the sound of music lush greenery!

A wedding & A Funeral

A recap of hips and happenins' over the past 3 months...

June - Hong Kong
I can't deny that the nite view here is indeed amazing. Tis 'glittering' LV shop in Central was screaming 'step in! pls step in!'
How can i resist it??? The below pic was shot from above a topless bus (to be exact, it was bus no:15C)
Nope, i did not buy any LV bags, regrets!
Will i be there again, perhaps in a biz trip?

July - Feasting Month!

All thanks to the promotion, not only it covered dim sum, but lunch & dinner were also included.

We hav been visiting tis place more than often...til we can't take it anymore!

Food was pretty mediocre, but at least the place was less chaotic as in dai-pai-dong (stalls).

The meal was simple, as above, clockwise from top left (beancurd 'swimming' in thick gravy, roast duck, lettuce in oyster sauce, and ginger chicken).

Presentation: Rate 3/5, Taste: Rate 2/5.

August - A wedding & A Funeral
Nope, they were not related to the same party. It was on 2 close relatives, and it happened just one week apart! Thank God they didn't clash!

The wedding
Where: St Ignatius Church, Damansara.
When: 8 August 09.
Unfortunately i wasn't able to witness this historic event, was stuck somewhere for a team building! Anyhow, congrats to my luvly cousin sis - Melissa!

The funeral
Where: Gospel Hall, KL.
When: 15 August 09.
I thought I wouldn't mourn over her loss, but nope, I almost broke down seeing her fragile body lying in the coffin. My aunt must have suffered alot during these 2 years aft being diagnosed with colon carcinoma. Being single, she enjoyed goin around places not until she fell sick. I was indeed grateful to her for attending my convocation (sometime ago). May her soul rest in peace, amen!

My lovely fullHOUSE!

No, u can't come to my house, i hav no comfy sofa nor drinks to serve u...
Let's go to Fullhouse!

Wht's unique @ tis place is not abt its drinks...

nor food

salmon (above) & chicken (below)

or the wall painting

but these!
this very classic dining table with super tall candle holder
and the classic living room...

even the photo frames are arranged in a classic way

there's even a bathtub and a pretty lady to bathe u!

with huge varieties of accessories to choose from!

comfy bed to lie your restless body

why not getting a change first before leaving?

nowhere as good place to snap your pics!

Yepz, tis place is 'fullhouse' during weekend with patrons bz doing their photo shoots using DSLR cam...which i yet to own...

and tht explains my blurrie and faded-color pics!

sorry peps!

Tiara Beach Resort

Last weekend was spent at this so called beach resort. As mentioned in my previous post, the place was totally uninteresting @ all. This place isn't those typical beach resort where you'll see chalet covered within the lush greenery. In fact, the appearance itself doesn't reflect one. I would have mistaken it as a residential apartment.

Anyhow, I was well fed, with 6 meals a day! (breakfast, morning teabreak, lunch, evening teabreak, dinner and supper) Imagine how full we were! Nevertheless all those food got digested quite fast as the activities were so jam-packed and need lotsa lotsa...ENERGY.
Yepz, indeed i was left with lil' ample time for exploring around as the only leisure time we had was at nite, after 10.

What i did aft then?
As usual, like any other blogger would do, snap pics!

Water fountain in front of the main entrance

Main entrancethe stairs to no where
Dinner place - coffee house

The red carpet to welcome us, dream on! This wasn't for us.

Pedestrian walkway

This place isn't huge, but the signboard comes to aid in case u got lost!

The outdoor stage. There were performances at nite to kill ur boredom!

But, the bike shop was closed...why? why? WHY???

thought of cycling out to beach...dissappointed!

Wondering why do I end up @ tis place?

U guess!

The agendas:

*bore us with some crappy seminars.

*exhaust us with lousy outdoor activities.

My entire body aches after then, to the extent that i couldn't even lift my arm!

Convention hall lobby

Our seminar room

supper!

Plenty of leftovers as many of us were too full for supper!

My verdict:
Overall, how's the place?
If it weren't for the team building, i wouldn't have step my foot in it.
