My fun and exciting long vacation (MEMOIRS)
我那好玩有趣的悠长假期 (寻宝篇)

打开封尘已旧的记忆之门，有什么是在你多年后蓦然回首还是会为之感动、感触、或感慨的，割舍不去的事与物呢？看着那一堆被深埋在泛黄锦盒里，却还是舍不得将之丢弃的点点滴滴，才惊觉原来自己曾经年轻过，原来不知不觉中我真的已经慢慢地老去，原来哪全都已是再也回不去的从前了...

Ever wonder, when you finally decided to opened up the tightly sealed pathway of memories, what could it be at the other end that would touch your souls, something so deep that you would never managed to abandon nor let it go? Looking back at those I hid and treasured and protected so much, suddenly I realized that I was too, once a youth, but getting older as time goes by, where there is no way for me to turn back time and ask for a take two anymore...

Souvenirs from my very first
individual oversea trip (Singapore)
首次单身出国（新加坡）买回来的纪念品

I thought I could never see my Tarot set again...

as an university undergraduate

Do I still remember the vows from two years back?
两年后的今天还记得当初的梦想吗？

The anxiety to have my own name cards

Booklets by "Youth Monthly Magazine", since Form 5
中五收集至今的《少年月刊》心情手记

Used to be a Girl Guide without any prior notices
曾经狠狠地先斩后奏加入女童军

How I hope I could attend campfire once more
好想好想再去一次营火会

My tag as a librarian
图书管理员的名牌

Felt so bad to throw any single present away
再怎么简单的礼品都舍不得丢弃

"Gu zheng"... such an old memory
* a kind of Chinese traditional instrument
古筝... 感觉上真的已是太遥远了

The bitter sweet memories for the glories...
奖座背后有些怎么样的快乐与悲伤？

正在读着我的回忆录的你，又有什么想要好好去查看一番的记忆吗?

Long Vacation (Penang) 悠长假期 - 槟岛篇

4 - 6 October 2009，零九年十月四日至六日
My fun and exciting long vacation (PENANG)
我那好玩有趣的悠长假期 (槟岛篇)

周日晚饭后跟着芬姨和老弟启程回到槟岛，感觉上真的是既熟悉却又陌生得有那么一点儿的无奈，想想看离开该岛已将近一整年了，果然最无情的还是光阴呃...

Were on the way back to Penang Island together with aunt and bro after dinner on Sunday night, everything seemed to be so familiar yet kind of quite out-of-the-blue for me too... couldn't help since it'd been almost one whole year since I was gone...

特别选购了一对木偶送给宇轩（干叔叔的长子，感觉上新郎好像也算是我的半个小弟呃?）和他的新婚妻子。抱歉啊，十月十一日当天一大早就得驾车回去了，无法参加你们的喜筵了。希望你们会喜欢这小小的礼物咯 XD

Bought something cute for Yu Xuan (dad's god brother's eldest son, well this made the groom kind of like my younger brother too I guess?) and his newly wedded wife.

接着，我们还杀到所谓的 Penang Times Square 去 “考察” 一番。大致上除了忙碌的建筑工人和各类承包商之外就什么都没有了；就连老弟一到步都 “忙着” 观察天花板呵水管和冷气系统等，这就是他实习期得来的职业病吗?

Next, went over to the so-called Penang Times Square for some "site inspection". Well, basically nothing much yet but full of busy workers and contractors here and there; even bro was "busy" looking at the ceilings and piping and cooling system by the time we get there, side effect of his internship I guess?

Well, almost time for lunch. Guided bro to the US Pizza outlet of Jalan Nagor right after we left the mall; before this he kept complaining about things like unable to locate the shop properly and so, I hope he'd remember the location now =.=

后来的我们还到了皇后湾商场去选购一些绿茶，不经意地在一楼那儿发现了这么一间名为 "Yokoso Shiyuki Beauty & Novelty Mart" 的店铺，里边有很多很可爱的猫咪摆设呢 @___@ 真不知当初我是怎么控制得了自己不去买下任何东西的...

We were then stopped by at Queensbay Mall to shop for teas, and happened to bump into a cute shop located at the first floor with the title "Yokoso Shiyuki Beauty & Novelty Mart", they got lots of cute cat themed decorative items there @___@ Wondering how I restrained myself from purchasing any...

最后，姐弟俩终于都结束了一切的奔波回到公寓里去迎接我们热乎乎的晚餐了，当然接着还得帮老弟打包那些需要搬回家的东西、准备终止 Streamyx 服务 (异常的乱来呃，工作人员们有没有搞错啊 =.=) 的文件及相关零件等... 周二正午就正式离开槟岛了~

We siblings then decided to call it a day and went back to our apartment for dinner, and to get ready for bro's house shifting, Streamyx termination (a great headache, what a mess =.=) and so... and officially left the island on Tuesday's noon~

That's all ~ As for those who're in Penang still, my sincere apologies for not meeting up, well as you know I got piles of tasks waiting for my brilliant judgments and consultancies as usual~ XD

放工后趁着 Eliana 和我赶去 Mage 上我们循例的日文课前，咱们一起到Tropicana City Mall 的Subway 去为Meng Ling 办了一个小型又快捷的庆生宴。其实光是细选地点都让我们伤了不少脑筋的，谁叫我和寿星俩竟然都那么巧合地还未从彼此可悲的食物中毒事件中完全恢复过来呢 =.=

不管怎么样，生日快乐咯美女，记得要开开心心的，同时请千万千万不要忘了十一月里的重大日子呃，你知道我在说些什么的啦~ 别装了~ 不要让我失望知道吗？ XD

We were there at Subway of Tropicana City Mall after work for Meng Ling’s quick birthday celebration before Eliana and I headed over to Mage for our weekly Japanese class. Had quite a hard time deciding where to since both the birthday girl and I were yet to fully recovered from our food poisoning incidents, what a sad and pathetic coincidence indeed =.=

Anyway, happy birthday again sweetie, don’t worry but be happy, and please kindly remind yourself about the upmost important event for this coming November, well you know what I meant~ Stop pretending as if you know nothing at all~ Try not to let me down OK? XD

2009-10-03T07:00:00.000+08:00

*设定于清早七点发布* 终于是时候启程回家了，打从那短短的农历新年公休日之后就再也没有回过去了，早已八个多月了吧... 说真的，我很想家、很想我的家人、想念妈妈的手艺、更少不了我那些可爱的猫弟猫妹们 @___@||

一旦抵达后不肖说地我一定会狠狠地把他们抱紧好好地加以疼爱，真的很为那些已逝去或失踪后全无踪影的猫儿们感到痛心呃，很多时候要记得把握机会好好加把劲；不然当一切的一切都只变成回忆时才后悔就真的是太迟了

趁着这一个特别的日子，要记得珍惜你现下所拥有的一切，告诉你所爱的人儿们你有多么的在乎着他们，他们又到底占了些怎么举足轻重的地位。当发现原来自己并非只是孤孤单单一个人跌跌撞撞地，而是被很多很多懂你的人关心着时，那一种感觉与撼动可真的是千金都难买的... 祝，中秋节快乐 ^^

*Scheduled to be published at 7:00am* Almost time for my departure, at last I am coming back to Kedah again after... eight whole months I guess, I had never been there again after our Chinese New Year's short breaks. Seriously I missed my home, my families, my mum's cooking, and my cats @___@||

I would surely hug them tight and caress them once I get back home, surely feel the lost of our deceased and lost ones, many at times it is better to do it while you still have the chance; or it might be already too late and you get nothing in return but regrets

Make sure you appreciate those dearest to you and tell them how much you care and how deep your love is on this special day. It feels so great to learn you are not alone, but always showered by lots of cares and understanding. Happy Mooncake Festival ^^

对那些早已熟悉越南菜肴的老食客来说也许并为什么大不了的；但就我而言 Eunice 所示范的春卷制作步骤和吃法可全都是新奇热辣又滚烫的前所未闻的新鲜事，唔... 途中是有少许差错啦，不过没差啦 :p

It might be something well known for those who've already familiar with Vietnamese foods; but as in my case it was really something new and unheard of when Eunice showed us the way to prepare and enjoy the spring roll, well there were some technical issues but who cares? :p

A decent meal would be but nothing at all without a cute dainty dessert, right? We were then served with the Putin kind of yellow colored desserts after we handed in all our feedback forms, Soon Yuan even had a "bet" with Eunice on the ingredients for such an adorable dessert... And ended up they were actually really made of eggs! Congratulation to the birthday girl for getting it right again~

GSC Tropicana City Mall

周六懒懒地呆在家一动不动; 周日才终于开车到去完成定下的任务 -- 观赏电影吓到笑是也，三部曲当中好像第二部的阿兵哥森林遇鬼对我而言比较有感觉呢，毕竟海的另一端的朋友们都跟军队超有缘的

Was all lazy and shut myself at home on Saturday; and finally made the move on Sunday for the movie Where Got Ghost. Think I was more into the second sub story where the soldiers encountered those "mysterious beings" in the woods, perhaps it was due to the fact that my friends across the ocean are all closely related with the armed forces hmm...

Where got Ghost -- mission accomplished
吓到笑 -- 任务完成了

惨了，我好像越看越写越怀念狮城那一边的朋友们了，零八年十一月到 PJ 来面试前的我曾经一个人到新加坡去投靠友人逛了三天两夜（当时的我超级胖的 =.= ），在敲打着这一篇稿子之时远在汶莱的 Marcus 也提起想要前往狮城旅游的计划，看吧，也许有一天我又会回去哪里呢？

号外：发些当初在新加坡游玩时的相片，手头上暂时就只有次日的可怜的少许图图而已

Gosh, I am missing those pals in Singapore more as time goes by. I was there, staying at friends' place, for a 3 days 2 nights trip before I came over to PJ for my job interview (was so fat back then =.=), in fact Marcus from Brunei was planning to pay Singapore a visit too as I'm typing here, maybe it's not a bad idea to get back there someday too?

P/S: Attached some photos taken in Singapore, so far I only got those for day 2's activities on hand

Were trying to crunch the sesames

About 6:00pm - 8:45pm，傍晚六点至八点三刻左右
GSC Tropicana City Mall

不骗你… 放工后我们(又再!!!) 跑去 GSC Tropicana City Mall 看电影了，(Meng Ling x 本小姐) 随机二人组万岁~ XD 为你们推介我有史以来第一次到电影院观赏的韩片 -- Tsunami at Haeundae (海云台, 上映时间为傍晚六点三刻至晚间八点半)

无可否认地是部好电影，从搞笑镜头、心酸心寒又危险的关键时刻、死里逃生的幸存者、挚爱的牵绊、等，都一次又一次地让我回想起了Armageddon 和 Day After Tomorrow 这两部很好看的灾难大片…

Seriously… went over to GSC Tropicana City Mall after work for movie (AGAIN!!!), bravo to (Meng Ling x myself) the spontaneous duo XD Introducing Tsunami at Haeundae – the very first Korean movie I watched in cinema (6:45pm – 8:30pm)

It was a nice movie I must admit, consisted of funny scenes, sad and dangerous moments, narrow escapes, bonds of the loved ones, etc, kind of reminded me of Armageddon & Day After Tomorrow too…

Tsunami at Haeundae

感觉上自己其实是打从内心深处惧怕着大自然的无限潜能与残酷… 也许正在读着这一篇稿子的你也可说这就是我对海滩活动失去了兴趣的原因吧，毕竟以前的我老是想要潜水，甚至是期望过能够选修深海研究的… 老了咯，安全第一比较好 :p

Somehow deep inside I am kind of afraid of the enormous strength and cruelty of nature forces... Well... actually I think you could even say this is the reason why I am not really into beach activities anymore although I dreamt about diving and even thought of taking deep sea research as my majoring long ago... Safety first haha, I'm getting older anyway :p

Spontaneous duo~ 突发二人组~

6:10pm - 9:00pm，傍晚六点十分至晚间九点许
GSC Mid Valley

感觉上我真的果然十分潇洒毫不拖拉耶，清早跟 Meng Ling （梦玲）俩突发奇想地感觉要一起看电影，结果还真的是下班后马上飙车到老远的 Mid Valley 去看 Final Destination 4 了，而且还是 3D 的叻，碎肉横飞地真要命，够恶心的 @___@|| *狂呕-ing* … 对了还好晚餐只是吃素而已~ *庆幸-ing*

Wow I was really such a spontaneous and determined girl, we actually really drove all the way to Mid Valley for the movie Final Destination 4 based on the idea of “let’s find a day to watch some movie together” as per discussed with Meng Ling early in the morning… What’s more IT WAS IN 3D!!! This doubled the disgusted rating; imagine the “meats” flying here and there… @___@|| *Puke the hell out of it*… Well luckily I only had vegetarian foods for dinner~ *Relieved*

Definitely "rest in pieces"
真的是非常碎、万碎万万碎 =.=

Super disgusting 3D =.=
要命的恶心的 3D =.=

号外：这是我最后一次看恶心血腥片了，受够了 @___@|| 没在里面边看边呕已经是很好的了

P/S: That's it, should be the last for the bloody movies, had enough @___@|| Great achievement for not throwing out during

11:45am - 4:30pm，午前十一时三刻至午后四点半
GSC Tropicana City Mall

长长的周末老是呆在家里的话太对不起自己了，周日当天终于大摇大摆地再次到 GSC Tropicana 那儿去连续看了两场电影，不知道什么时候会终于破纪录连看三场呢？

The Ugly Truth -- 十二点五十分开映，好笑之余也让我再三地思考戏里的种种男女看法与意见分歧，果然彼此都是用不同的半身来思考的吗？嗯… 如果有天情况突然颠倒过来那会变成怎样呢~

I’d feel so sorry if I did nothing but only to shut myself at home for such a long weekend, that’s why I was there at GSC Tropicana again on Sunday for movies; wondering when would I finally break the record and advanced over to three in a day

The Ugly Truth -– (12:50pm onwards) was funny, resulted me to think over again about all those different stands and point of views between the two genders, any protocol that lead us all to “think and act” via different half of our figures as it claimed to be? Beat me… what if one day the situation get totally switched~

G-Force --下午两点半开映，跟上一部电影的时间配合得刚刚好~ 是我长大了吗？感觉上这一套动画真的是很适合小孩儿，如此而已

G-Force -- (2:30pm onwards) great timing, the showtime was just after the previous one's~ Not sure if I'm really a grown up now, but somehow this movie was nothing but an animation meant for kids, in my point of view

Fullhouse with Susan

2009-09-14T22:02:00.012+08:00

12 September 2009，零九年九月十二日
8:30pm - 10:40pm，晚间八点半至十点四十分
Fullhouse Cafe, NZX (牛车水)

傍晚七点三十七分左右挺意外地接到 Susan （马六甲多媒体大学的商课老友）的短讯与来电，想不到她当时竟然已经身在 PJ，正想看看宅在家里的我是否愿意出来聚聚走走呢~ 当然百分百的愿意啦^^不过... 我好像才刚冬眠起来叻，唯有请她稍微等一下咯~ XD

该女将近晚间八点二十分就抵达牛车水了，因为她从未去过 Fullhouse 的关系，我们俩就先行走去了；她的“老大” Charles 则是泊好车子后才加入我们。 Fullhouse 当晚蛮多人的，无可否认它正是仅存的能为牛车水这一个“商店街”带来注目礼的为数不多的亮点之一

基本上我们一贯地闲聊、喝茶吃点心、东走西逛，更不忘了拍拍照留念。我们还点了半打的Petit Four糕点来尝尝，很失望地并非有如宣传般地唇齿留香…

Received SMS and call from Susan (old friend from FBL, MMU Melaka) around 7:37pm, asking whether it's OK for us to meet up, since she was here in PJ on that particular day. Well of course I'd love to ^^ But hmmm anyway I asked for some time for getting ready since I just woke up from my long long nap~ XD

She arrived at NZX at 8:20pm or so, then we girls went over to Fullhouse because she never been there yet; where her god brother Charles would join us after parking his car. Well the café was quite crowded, and yes I agreed it was one of the remaining few reasons that the public’s still aware of the existence of this particular “boulevard”

Basically we had out chit-chat, some tea breaks, the sight-seeing, and not to forget about the photography session. We even had ourselves half a dozen of the Petit Four cakes, well not really as good as they claimed to be, I must say...

我们大概逗留至十点四十分才各自离开，Susan 和 Charles 俩还打算过去 Sea Park 的一间印度店铺那儿吃夜宵（鸡肉椰浆饭）呢... ^___^|| 她现在还真的比较能吃了耶？！好啦，要记得保重哦，能与你一起再见面真的感觉很不赖呃 ^^

We parted at 10:40pm since the two of them were going over to Sea Park for supper (Nasi Lemak Ayam) at mamak's... ^___^|| Gosh... she's eating more now huh? Take care sis, nice meeting up with you again ^^

放工后跟一班同事一起共乘去聚餐。看起来 Jaya One 一区还真是有不少店铺的，也许下一回父母来探望我时带他们过去那里吃一顿也蛮不错的

Basically... we took quite some time to finally decide what to order and all. Even for me myself, I also kept looking at five or six set meals as displayed below, wondering which one I should give it a try...

后来的后来我终于点了生鱼片套餐来作为我的晚餐，可是... 食物好像只是还可以而已，同时不知是否是我自己的错觉还是什么的，那些生鱼片好像不是太新鲜似的，并非我想象中那么的完美。半生熟蛋倒是还蛮可爱的啦~

Well... I ended up with the Sashimi Set, the foods were just OK, and somehow not sure whether it was just we, the sashimi wasn't really fresh and didn't really taste as nice as I expected it to be. The half boiled egg was cute, though~

特别将这一系列的图图呈现给我的同事 Cheang XD 当我正着手为某个矢量作品起稿时，Cheang 就开玩笑式地问我是否能以那忙得天昏地暗、兼头昏脑胀、又双眼朦胧的她为蓝图，画出一些卡通式工作人像~ 当然是小菜一碟，难不倒我咯~

Specially dedicate the pictures to my colleague Cheang XD Back then I was working on certain vector drawing task; She said she was really busy and her eyes were getting blurred, and jokingly wondered if I could come out with her busy looking illustration~ Sure thing of course~

Reunion with Esther ^^ 老朋友重聚

2009-09-02T19:20:00.003+08:00

29 August 2009，零九年八月二十九日
12:pm - 9:00pm，正午十二时至晚间九时
Mid Valley & The Gardens

在此为您介绍一下当年我在马六甲多媒体大学的姐妹 Esther Chin，她是我唯一将之称为 “大姐” 的女生，来自芙蓉的坚强又值得信赖的她现下也一样地正在吉隆坡一带工作。自从零七年四月一日当晚那积聚盛名的 Trinite 三部曲（我们大学里由学生所举办的官方晚会）正式落幕后我们就再也没有再见面了，想当年的生活点滴真是令人怀念对吧?

Introducing Esther Chin, my long time buddy in MMU Melaka... the one I addressed her as "elder sister", the strong-at-heart and reliable girl from Seremban who currently working in KL as well. We never met up after the finale of the legendary Trinite trilogy (MMU official prom night organized by students :p) back at 1 April 2007, the MMU life was really so nostalgic ain't it?

如题，我们约好在上个周六（零九年八月二十九日）到 Mid Valley 去来个老友相聚会。首先我们到底楼的 MPH 书局集合，再漫步到 The Gardens 的 Starbucks 去喝喝咖啡吃吃午餐聊聊天（预定待到下午两点半为止），皆因 Mid Valley 真的是太多人太吵了，想要好好地细诉累计多年的人事物课题都很难呃

号外：如常地点了Ice Caramel Latte，毕竟这应该是最不会伤身的咖啡饮料了吧 XD

As stated above, we decided to have a reunion last Saturday (29 August 2009) in Mid Valley. First of all we met up at MPH (Ground Floor) and went over to Starbucks of The Gardens for both lunch and chit-chat until 2:30pm, since Mid Valley is always crowded and would definitely harder for us to have our nice girls' talks after all these years :p

P/S: As usual, I got myself the Ice Caramel Latte again since it should be the coffee with the least harm for my health XD

Esther, still elegant as always
优雅如昔的 Esther

I looked so ugly as always =.=||
我还是一样的难看 =.=||

接着，回到 Mid Valley 后我们就马上依照当初跟她相约好了般地，到了那里的 Starbucks 附近的那间名为 Diva 的首饰店开始选购我俩的友情对链了，真的是很怀念这一种感觉耶 ^^ 该店也真的是很酷很应有尽有哦，下一回我一定还会回去哪儿涉猎一些超帅的饰物来奖励自己 XD

Next, we headed back to Mid Valley and directly moved over to the shop named Diva near the Starbucks of Mid Valley to buy the "Best Friends" pair necklaces as suggested to Esther days ago. The best part would be nothing else than the time we selected the necklaces together ^^ The shop was really cool, I should visit there again to see whether I'll get myself any nice hunt next time XD

Mine, with the red heart and black wording
我的红心黑字黑项链

该是时候去 GSC 拿我那预定好了的戏票了；看着那无论何时都一样的长长的人龙，果真是先在网上订票为好。我们所选的是下午四时十分的 I Love You, Beth Cooper ，感觉上好像我和 Esther 都越来越觉得自己比较倾向那些较为轻松的喜剧片，而不再那么地钟情于当年的恐怖或科幻片了。决定啦！下一部我要看 The Ugly Truth 咯 XD

号外：入场前在 Colours Shoppe 为自己买了一件黑色碎花短裙，一扫多年来只穿单色裙子的习惯 :p

Time to claim our GSC movie tickets; it was surely a good move to reserve online beforehand since the long queue is almost 24/7 there at GSC. We chose the movie I Love You, Beth Cooper (4:10pm session) out of all, well somehow both of us also gradually found ourselves getting more and more fond of the light and enjoyable movies instead of those horror or scientific ones as time goes by. Next time I'm gonna catch The Ugly Truth too XD

P/S: Bought myself a skirt from Colours Shoppe before we entered the theater for the movie, my first flowery skirt after so many years of plain color ones :p

I Love You, Beth Cooper

当然，时间还是如常般地计算得刚刚好，在电影于大约傍晚六点许散场后我们就马上走向地下层的 Paddington House of Pancakes 去吃晚餐了。虽说先前已在众多友人哪儿无数次地听闻过它的大名，这可还是我第一次踏入该餐厅进餐呢

说真的，他们那过百种的超多选择真的让我感到超头疼的，根本就不知道该要如何下手才好 @.@ 不过后来的后来我还是决定要来一客 Tokyo （不骗你，该菜肴的名称确是如此）加上薄荷茶，再来一个饭后甜点跟 Esther 一起慢慢品尝

其实 Tokyo 是一道以烤鸡胸、西红柿、火腿肉、平菇、和 mozzarella 无盐干酪为主，加上荷兰式卷薄饼再配以薯泥而组成的风味菜肴； Esther 的 Brussels 则是一片其上布满了熏肉、洋葱、 mozzarella 无盐干酪、煎蛋、茄汁豆、还有鳄梨沙拉酱的直径为十寸大小的荞麦制 galette 大拼盘；而甜点就是佐以草莓、坚果、 choco honeycomb butter 和冰淇淋的 Sweet American Pancake Stack

Perfect timing we got thereas usual, since the show ended around 6:00pm thus we made our moves to the Lower Ground for dinner at Paddington House of Pancakes. Again it's my first time to test the cuisines there although I'd already heard about it for times from all my pals

Well frankly speaking it was really hard for me to decide what to eat as they got over hundred of choices there @.@ But at last I decided to settle with Tokyo (not joking, it was the title for that particular dish) + Hot Peppermint + a dessert to be shared with Esther

Tokyo was the combination of grilled chicken breast, tomato, chicken ham, oyster mushroom, mozzarella with rolled pannekoek and mashed potatoes; while Esther's Brussels Set comprises of bacon, onions, mozzarella, sunny side-up, baked beans and guacamole on top of a 10" buckwheat galette; and last but not least, the dessert Sweet American Pancake Stack were topped with strawberry, nuts, choco honeycomb butter and ice cream

大致上我们在店里边吃喝边谈笑到将近晚间九点才终于舍得准备离开，毕竟 Esther 还需要乘搭 KTM 等回去她在 Setapak 一区的家的，太晚了就不太安全呃。真的很欣慰能和你有个如此难忘的聚会 ^^ 现在的我已经开始期待我们下一次的马六甲之旅了，到时候见咯~

Basically we continued our chit-chat and all there in Paddington until somewhere around 9:00pm before we finally decided to call it a day and get parted, as Esther needed to catch the KTM and all in order to get back to her rented room in Setapak area, better not too late since safety first. My sincere appreciation for such a wonderful outing ^^ Can't wait for our upcoming Melaka trip XD See you by then sis~

Yamca with Ah Fun

2009-08-27T21:36:00.052+08:00

25 August 2009，零九年八月二十五日
9:15pm - 11:30pm，晚间九点十五分至十一点半
Mage Café, Damansara Jaya

如题，趁着 Ah Fun （Joseph, 从零二年认识至今的多媒体大学校友）因公而到 PJ 来逗留四天之际，跟好久不见的他去喝喝茶聊聊天

在他刚从我家将我接出来时，我根本就不懂该指示他到哪儿去，不过既然我们都随着 LDP 来到了 KDU 的附近，加上他本人也对以棋盘游戏为主题的店子蛮有兴趣的，我们就顺道地去了 Mage Café 小坐咯 XD

As mentioned, had my short yamca session with Ah Fun (Joseph, ex-MMUian, a friend since year 2002) when he was here in PJ area for his four days' company training

Well at first I absolutely got no idea where to for the chit-chat and all after he fetched me from my place, but since we were somewhere near KDU on the LDP, so we ended up at Mage Cafe instead, he was curious to know more about the board game cafe too anyway XD

Borrowed this pic from his Facebook XD
从他的 Facebook “借来” 的照片 XD

基本上我就只点了一杯冰柠檬茶，该君则为自己选择了一客水果派和饮料，果真是男生啊 :p 我们好像是天南地北都聊了一遍，管它是有关我们大学与马六甲的变化也好、关于日本动漫画也好、摄影器材、工作、等

号外：刻意没带我的相机出门，幸好刚从他那儿得来了一些相片呢

Basically I only had a glass of Ice Lemon Tea or something while Ah Fun got himself a slice of pie and a drink, typical guy ain't he :p We talked about all kind of topics, about the changes in both MMU and Melaka itself, about anime, manga, camera, our jobs, etc...

P/S: Purposely didn't bring along my camera with me, luckily I just received some photos from him

很可惜啊，当年仍住在碧园（多媒体大学的校外宿舍）的我曾被人称为日本动画女王的；现下的我却只是一介简简单单的普通女生 :p 不知道当初的收藏品到底全都失踪到哪儿去了呢...

Too bad, I used to known as the Queen of anime when I was staying in Emerald Park (an off-campus hostel); and now I am totally nothing but just a normal daily girl :p Wondering where all my anime collections vanished to too...

LOL, proof 1 from Roselyn
呵呵，来自 Roselyn 的证词之一

Proof 2 of me being anime maniac :p from Nicole
这是 Nicole 所写的，我果然曾是动画女王~

我们在大约十点三刻就离开了 Mage 前往他以前在 Ara Damansara 工作时的公司“逛逛” XD 不错嘛，至少我现在也学会了另一条通道，话说起来要是我同事使用该路线也应该能够快些抵达她在 USJ 的家吧，起码会少些车子并不太有堵车的机会...

We then left Mage around 10:45pm and headed over to his previous office area in Ara Damansara area for a "tour" XD Hmm not bad, at least now I get to be aware of yet another route, supposedly it would be easier for my colleague to return to her house at USJ too, lesser cars and free from traffic jams I guess...

From NZX to the shops area
从牛车水到该商店区的路线

好了，是时候道别了，感觉上好像因赶工的关系而很早就开始瞌睡了 @.@ Ah Fun 也在隔天就需要老早起身准备前往另一轮的训练课程，就这样吧，保重啦朋友，下回儿见~

Well, time to say goodbye, was getting sleepy due to all the concentration at work @.@ As for Ah Fun, he still got to wake up early and participated in yet another training the day after too, take care and all the best man, see you again~

Yet Another Outing~

22 August 2009，零九年八月二十二日
12:30pm - 7:00pm，中午十二时半至傍晚七点
Mid Valley & The Garden

先声说明... 希望 Han Yeuan (Chak Kor) 看完这一篇之后不会再说 “哦，去见 KH 也没通知我一声啊~” 了哟 XD

如题，我再次到 Mid Valley 去跟 Kim Hang 与他的古晋老朋友 Lih Shan 会面；其实呢本来 Ronnie （当年来自马六甲 MMU 工程系的朋友）和 Anne (Kim Hang 和 Ronnie 的友人) 也会加入我们仨一起逛街的，后来却因种种原因无法赴约，就只剩下我们三个咯

我们中午一点左右才终于在 Mid Valley 的 Starbucks 会合，期间我发现了一间很不错的 Diva 首饰店呃，看起来像是有着超多不同风格的单品与组件系列的，下个周末当我和 Esther 来这里逛街时应该可以考虑买下一对友情项链或戒指之类的来纪念一下 ^^

First of all... please don't comment something like "Oh, went to meet KH also didn't call me" again OK Han Yeuan (Chak Kor)? XD

So as stated above, I was there at Mid Valley to meet up with Kim Hang and his hometown friend Lih Shan. Well actually initially Ronnie (a friend from FET, MMU) and Anne (Kim Hang & Ronnie's friend) should be there too but they couldn't make it, thus ended up with only the three of us

We met up at Starbucks Mid Valley around 1:00pm, well noticed a really nice shop around there named Diva, which consisted of lots of nice ornaments and all, perhaps I should be there with Esther and get ourselves a pair of necklaces or rings or something during our reunion visit ^^

The logo, woahhhh totally magenta XD
非常非常桃红的标志 XD

若要说我们一聚集在一起了就马上赶过去 GSC 察看映画时间表那也不过分， GSC 还是跟往常一样地那么的人山人海， Lih Shan 就建议选看下午四点一刻那一场的 Orphan 这一部惊怵电影，我们反正也没什么其他的意见，不妨就试试看看吧。 Kim Hang 超有风度地自荐说要留下来买戏票，而把我们两个女生 “赶到” 美食广场去先行吃午餐了 XD

号外：可惜没拍到我的甘蔗水和泰式炒饭... 郁闷...

Basically we headed right after to GSC to check on the showtime, long queue as always, Lih Shan suggested watching the movie Orphan (for 4:15pm session) and we were OK with that too. Kim Hang volunteered to stay back for the tickets while we girls went ahead to the food court for lunch instead XD

P/S: Had Ice Sugar Cane and Thai Style Fried Rice there, too bad I didn't snap any

当时他正忙着为笔记本灌录 Adobe 软件

接着我们就陪着 Lih Shan 一起去买些服饰等；唔，对我而言我还是比较喜欢到那些较少人的店子去慢慢儿地细选，要是每一个角落都挤满了人的话想要好好地看清自己要的到底是什么都相当的难，不是吗？

后来我们走着走着就到了 The Gardens 那里去吃甜点，真是很抱歉哦，我真的是想不起那间摊子的名称，只知道是位于士林正后方而已。我点了一碗鲜黄的芒果西米捞... 搞错啊我又再是吃完了以后才突然想起自己应该先拍张照片来留念一下的 =.= 真是笨笨呆呆又钝钝健忘的我

号外：谢谢 Kim Hang 的甜品招待

Next we accompanied Lih Shan for some apparels shopping; hmm personally I prefer to shop at a less crowded place, because it's hard to choose nicely when you get surrounded by a whole bunch of people here and there

We then stopped by at The Gardens for desserts, well I can't really recall the shop's name, but it was located just at the back of Shi Lin outlet. I had a bowl of the yellowish Mango Lolo, again I only realized I should at least take a snap or so before I finished the whole dessert =.= stupid clumsy me

P/S: Again the desserts were all on Kim Hang, thanks man

Luckily we still got the menu on the desk
幸好还有桌面上的菜单可拍

The Mango Lolo
我的芒果西米捞

Next time I want to try something else
以后我要尝试些别的

好啦，是时候去看电影了... 其实我不知道该如何点评这一部影片呢，也许现在的我已经对恐怖电影失去了兴趣吧，再加上里边那冻得我十指的指甲都发紫了的空调... 我好像是不断地在察看时间，希望能够早些演完，好让我早点儿离开呢 x.x

OK... time for movie... ehrm not sure how should I put this, perhaps I was not really so into horror movies already, further more the theater was really chilling that even my finger nails turned purple so... basically I was kind of looking at my watch from time-to-time hoping the show would finished earlier x.x

Orphan

从剧场里出来了以后，我们就到了一间名为小槟城美食馆的餐厅吃了些晚餐，才在傍晚七点左右道别离开。说真的他们的叻沙还蛮不错的；不过要是将之与我妈妈亲自烹调的相比当然是差得远了，她的手艺可是无法替代的 XD 看起来我真的是迫不及待地想在十月份时赶回家了

号外：老兄，你干嘛又在付完一切费用啊？在这样下去我可真是不敢跟你出来了 =.= 至少给我一个机会充当一下风度翩翩的 “女绅士” 好吗？呵呵呵 XD

We had our dinner at Little Penang Kafe after movie before we get parted and headed back home at 7:00pm. Seriously the Asam Laksa was not bad； but nothing could be better than my mum's own cooking, totally splendid and irreplaceable XD Guess I just can't wait to get back to my hometown this coming October

P/S: Again... why you paid for everything? I dare not to come out with you again if this goes on =.= At least give me a chance to be a "gentle-lady" too will you? Hahaha XD

终于都写完啦~ 再次对 Lih Shan 说声 “很高兴认识你” :)

Finally, that's all for the outing, and nice knowing you again Lih Shan :)

Kansai, 关西日式料理店

2009-08-24T23:06:00.004+08:00

19 August 2008，零九年八月十九日
6:00pm - 7:20pm，傍晚六点至七点二十分
Kansai Japanese Restaurant of NZX，
牛车水，关西日式料理店

竹筷纸制封袋上的标志

首先呢... 不好意思啊各位，太久没更新了，最近我回到家好像看漫画看得有些上瘾了，一不小心就荒废忽略了 Facebook MSN AO 等，甚至是自己的部落格都不管了哈哈 XD 其实我注意这间店子蛮久了的，还一直不断地告诉自己总有一天要进去试吃他们的日式料理看看味道如何，现在我终于都做到了 XD

为您介绍位于牛车水的关西日式料理店... 就店面来看搭上红色鸟居的大门及类和式拉门是蛮吸引人的，唯一美中不足的应该就只是当日特餐展示台上那张写着错别字的小纸卡了，茶碗蒸应该是 chawan mushi 才对哦

First of all... sorry for the late update XD A bit addicted to manga recently haha thus ignored Facebook MSN AO & even blog~ Well... been quite some time since I noticed and kept telling myself that one day I'll be there to try the Japanese foods in this restaurant, and well I finally made it XD

Introducing Kansai Japanese Restaurant of NZX... Indeed the red color torii and the Japanese style sliding door would surely be the main attraction, the one and only flaw should be the wrong spelling on the paper card meant for the chawan mushi on the "Today's Special"'s display stand

Had difficulties shooting the light box,
reason being... my height and the tree branches
要拍这个灯箱有些难耶，
全都是自己身高和那些树丫的错

Today's special... well should be chawan and not chwan
当天的特制套餐... 其实该是 chawan 而非 chwan

话说，当我一进入餐厅时我真的不是很确定自己该用什么语言来跟侍者们交谈，毕竟在牛车水一区真的是见过了太多看起来很像华裔但原来是邻国友族的工作人员... 中文？粤语？日语？英语？简单，还是以英语通杀好了

选好位置后就是时候该点菜了，感觉上自己是比较想要吃套餐又或是盖饭一类的，手卷和拉面等就留给下一次的到访吧，不过好像他们的套餐优惠好像蛮不错的... 惨了，到底该吃些什么呢 @.@ 果真是印证了选择太多也会让人觉得很头疼这一个道理

号外：单是点菜就花了我将近十分钟的时间~ XD

Well, actually I wasn't really sure which language I should use to communicate with the waiter/waitress there, due to the fact that there's lots of Chinese-look-alike foreigners working there in NZX... Mandarin? Cantonese? Japanese? Or English? Guess English should be easiest and safest then

Time to place order after settled down and all, somehow for me I prefer to eat something like bento or don, guess I'd keep both temaki and ramen for the next visit, but hey their set promotions seemed not bad too... @.@ Gosh I had such a hard time just to decided what to eat, it's definitely true that at times the more choices you got, the harder it is to make a proper decision

P/S: It took me about 10 minutes before I finally decided what to eat~ XD

They put the set promo's menus on every single table

cover and the lights inside the restaurant
因封面是闪光的再加上店子里灯光的关系，
要拍好这个菜谱真的... 对我而言很难

既然想点的食物都已交待好了，那在等待之际又该做些什么呢？当然正在读着我的稿子的你一定不会搞错我一般上会如何打发这一段时间的 :p 是时候去照些相了 ^^ 就先坐在位置上从附近的摆设拍起吧...

What should I do after the food ordering? Well since you are reading this I am more than sure that you know what I would do as usual :p Photo shooting time again ^^ First I started with snapping the area near me, without moving away from my seat...

正好我的座位的正对面就有两间紧闭着的小厢间，想当年还在大学时每逢生日我都会和 Esther, Ryan 老大, Susan 等一起去马六甲 Jaya Jusco 楼上的那间森友日式料理店的包厢里庆生的，真的很怀念很怀念，纯纯的青春一去不复还了...

Happened that there were two tightly-shut rooms right opposite of where I get seated, kind of reminded me the time where we were all still studying in MMU... I celebrated all my birthday there at one of the rooms of Moritomo Japanese Restaurant (located at upstairs of Jaya Jusco Melaka) with Esther, Ryan, Susan, and so... How nostalgic... there would not be a take two for my innocent youth anymore...

坐着坐着... 好像很想走走看看去拍些不同的照片耶... 刚开始我只是打算偷偷放大远处的摆设来拍拍一下的，想不到店主竟然很大方地要我别在意，尽管随便拍好了，还甚至叫我打开厢房的门去看看呢... 真是怪不好意思的 x.x

How should I put this... I felt like want to walk around and snap more photos from different angle and places... Well at first I only simply zoomed and snapped some pictures from afar, and I'd never expected that the owner actually approached me saying it's OK for me to just make myself at home and take whatever picture I need... What's more, he even asked me to open the door to the rooms to have a better view... Was so shy and felt so embarrassed x.x

后来呢，正当我和店主聊着的当儿侍者就来告诉我晚餐已经全都准备好了，也好，是时候开动了，来看看我的便当吧：　有味噌汤、茶碗蒸、红烧鸡、天妇罗、菜类、薯泥、白饭和饭后水果... 唔... 味噌汤蛮香浓的、茶碗蒸若是将之与森友比较起来则输了些、红烧鸡很不赖、菜类和薯泥都很好吃 ^^ 问题是很多!!!　好大份呃!!!

Well the waitress informed me that my dinner was ready and all served as I was chit-chatting with the owner, thus it's time for foods then, introducing my bento of the night... featuring the miso soup, chawan mushi, teriyaki chicken, tenpura, pickled vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice and fruits (as dessert). Basically the soup came with a really rich aroma, as for chawan mushi somehow I think Moritomo's would be relatively better, the teriyaki chicken was good, vegie and potatoes were really enjoyable too ^^ Ehrm... well the only problem was... the portion was way too big x.x

好惨呃... 我好像是花了将近三刻钟才终于慢慢地勉强吃下我那丰富的晚餐 x.x 循例地再走走想要来个第二轮的照相活动；无奈我却因为感觉很累，再加上已有好几天没真正睡好的缘故而没多作久留，只是在寿司台附近拍了几张相片就向店主告辞了

Hmm... guess it took me about 45 minutes or so to try my best to eat my dinner x.x Second round of photo shooting after that, but I didn't stay too long inside the shop too as I was kind of tired and slightly lacked of sleep the days before, thus I only managed to snap a few at the sushi bar corner and bid farewell to the owner before I left the shop

号外：　其实八月二十日（周四）那天我和同事也再次光顾了那里，不过也并没怎样拍照啦，只是快快地吃了一下就离开了，现在就来秀一下我那少少的相片了

P/S: Actually I was there again with my colleague on 20 August (Thursday) too, but well I didn't really take much of the photos too because we didn't stay long but mere dining and left the restaurant right after, hereby attached the limited photos I had

2009-08-18T13:23:00.020+08:00

最近好像蛮多人都喜欢玩圣诞老人的游戏哟，我的桌上又再次多了些额外物品呐，特别鸣谢亲爱的 Eliana 送给我一对如此可爱的耳环噢，完全是出乎意料耶 @.@ 清早八点左右当我还在后头跟 Swee Keng 和 Jen 闲聊时就已看到 Ely 正在走向我的座位去了，当时我还以为她只是在观赏我那托 Jen 买来的新的太阳能摆设而已，在此也要好好谢谢你啦 Jen o(n___n)o

本来呢我是打算买个同类的鲜红色的摆设来送给我母亲的，感觉上应该会很配她的红色 Kembara 的，可惜的是鲜红的好像是太过吃香比较难找了的缘故而老是缺货 x.x 不知道妈妈会喜欢橙色吗... 或许我应该将这个橙色的留下来，再另找其它类型的给她 ^^

Hmm... recently quite a number of people around me also get addicted to the "Santa Claus game", again I found something special on my desk... Special thanks to lovely Ely-chan for the cute earrings, never expected anything like this @.@ Saw her walked towards my cubicle around 8:00am this morning when I was talking with both Swee Keng and Jen at the back there, and I thought she was just looking at the new flip-flap I just bought with Jen’s help, thanks again Jen o(n___n)o

At first I though of getting a bright red color flip-flap for my mother too, for it would fit her red Kembara well, too bad the red one was kind of rare and selling fast thus out of stock always x.x Not sure if Mum is OK with the orange color version instead hmmm... Maybe I should keep the orange one and try to get something else for her ^^

好了，先到此为止吧，真的是很感动很感动呵呵，超爱你们的 v(^___^) 谢谢哦~

Weee that's all for now, totally touched, love you girls sooo much v(^___^) thanks~

17 August 2009，零九年八月十七日
6:00pm - 7:30pm，傍晚六点至七点半左右
Restaurant Hao Wei Dao, NZX
牛车水的好味导茶餐厅

放工后我又回到了牛车水的好味导茶餐厅去吃晚餐，其实我已并非首次到这一家餐馆来了，不久前我甚至还介绍并招了几位同事来这里小聚呢。大致上这里什么都有，例如通心粉、各式肉扒、沙拉、炖汤、面食、炒饭、甜品等；感觉上有些像是相比之下较为便宜快捷又安静的 Old Town 咖啡馆

Had my dinner at Restaurant Hao Wei Dao of NZX after work, well actually it's not the first time for me to be there already, in fact I even introduced and brought my PCA colleagues there before. They got lots of varieties to choose from, let it be spaghetti, chops, salads, soups, noodles, fried rice, desserts, and the list goes on, just name it; sort of like another replica of Old Town somehow, but cheaper and faster and quieter

现在他们有招待几种优惠套餐哦，我刚刚就选择了包含熏肉蛋炒饭和冰奶茶的 Set E，只需区区 RM7.90 就可以吃到又经济又实惠又大份的一餐了。看官们一定要试一试他们的炒饭，美味得来又有很多的配料，更重要的是不会像其他地方所贩卖的炒饭一样的油腻，强力推荐加上他们特制的 sambal 配着吃。那里的各种饮料也都很不错的，上回我喝的应该是蜜桃冰红茶吧 :)

Currently they got quite some set meals promotion there, I ordered the Set E (Bacon Egg Fried Rice + Cold Milk Tea) for only RM7.90, consider quite cheap and very rewarding due to the big portion and so. The fried rice well, surely a MUST TRY, very nice and full of ingredients, and most importantly it's not oily like those selling at some other places, strongly recommended to eat together with their sambal :p Even the drinks I tried were not bad too, the last round I had was the Ice Peach Tea or something :)

You may select either one of Milk Tea/ Coffee/
Ice lemon Tea for the set meal
你可从奶茶/ 咖啡/ 冰柠檬茶中三选一，

The bill :p
这是账单（废话）

饭后我还特意在牛车水里走了一圈才回家... 看到那些全都搬迁了的店铺，好像是稍微有些伤感似的... 想当初零九年三月十八日第一次来到这里参观时一切都还是好好的... 已经五个月了吗... 不过也对吧，世界上并没什么是真的恒久或不变的 :p

Well... I purposely spent some time to walk around NZX to check on all the shops there after meal... Kind of sad to see all of them being closed down, they were still here during my first visit on 18 March 2009... exactly 5 months ago... but guess it's just something normal that nothing could really be long lasting and eternal or so :p

Nothing left, but memories

给自己的承诺... The Promises

2009-08-16T14:40:00.017+08:00

“我要比你过得更好更幸福更成功更快乐，
活得更灿烂更有价值更被众人疼爱着珍惜着。”

"I swear to live a better life than you do, that I would
be happier, be more successful and meaningful,
and loved and treasured by everybody else"

定下所有所有的目标，为自己设下一个又一个的期限，努力地在极短的时间内达至我所追求的全部。因为知道自己实在缺少太多的实战经验，学历又太杂了些，好像什么都会却什么都并非能真正掌握好，无论做些什么充其量都只会是个半吊子... 真可悲，倘若我要的只是在社会的夹缝里生活而已那这一身大杂烩倒也真的是足以应付；可真正认识我的人都知道我根本不想一辈子都只能那么地晕浑虚度...

Set and planned all kind of targets and listed down all the deadlines for nobody else but me myself, just to try as hard as I could to achieve what I aimed after in the shortest possible time... All the while I realized about the lack of useful and powerful experiences, that I really got such a complicated and messy education background, ended up to seem to know everything but not to master any single one of them, that I can get to no where but a half-baked if this goes on... How pathetic... my so-called "abilities" should be still quite OK to barely survive in this ugly and beautiful world; but well, I guess those who really get me should be more than just clear that I would never ever want to just waste my life in such an ordinary way...

很多时候所谓的山盟海誓都只是可笑的梦幻泡影，只有自己不计劳苦亲手挣来的才真正属于自己，才真正永远不会背叛自己... 学艺不精？对世界了解得不够？人心的复杂不见得全都体验过？那好，把每一天都当作是生命的终点，将自身化为海棉，尽己所能地搜查更多涉猎更多吸收更多体会更多，再将之化为自身本钱的一份子；就算失手了受伤了跌倒了，我也要凭着自己的本事在原点爬起来，继续大步迈前；即使这一生注定得走得跌跌撞撞伤痕累累，我也不悔，我是宁可一次又一次再浴火重生也不愿意虚度此生

Most of the time those so-called vows and promises were nothing but mere foolish sweet talks, only those you earned with your very own hands and hard works could be yours forever, and would never ever betray nor hurt you... Lacked of polished skills? Failed to know more about the world out there? Yet to feel and experience all the devilish shadows that dwell in others' hidden self? Easy ain't it, just to treat every single day as the very last one in your limited life, morph yourself into something that's willing to browse through and observe more about every single thing, and most importantly to transform and adapt it into something useful, something that could be an add-on to own values; even if I fall I would still climb up high and move forward, full of jazz once again from where I failed; even if I would face a tough and hard life ahead, I could just reborn again and again after all the deadly wounds and leave no regrets

可... 这样的我，已不想再相信别人... 这样的我，过得好累... 我，真的如挚友所说的太勉强自己了吗？

Still... I already kind of lost the will to trust others... I feel kind of tired, of everything... am I really pushing myself too much like what my buddies said about me?

Saturday Night

2009-08-16T13:03:00.000+08:00

15 August 2009，零九年八月十五日
8:00pm - 10:45pm，晚间八点至十点三刻
Station 1 of NZX & Tropicana City Mall

在牛车水 - D'aman Crimson 住了好些日子的我竟然除了上回与父母和表兄姐喝茶聊天之外就从未真正地到这一间餐厅里用餐过，这是否就该将之推给自己那还是比较喜欢呆在较为安静无人的角落好好地慢用餐点，而非选择如此人来人往的显眼处如坐针毯般地进食的性格呢？

号外：以下三张图片都是从 Station 1 的官方网站转来的，版权为该餐馆所有

Never really stepped into the restaurant myself (except the time with my parents and cousins) although it'd been quite a long time that I moved in to NZX - D'aman Crimson area. Guess I still prefer to dine alone at some relatively quieter places than such a location that's totally exposed to anyone that walked around

P/S: All three images as followed were directed from Station 1's official website, thus copyrights and credits belong to the restaurant instead

周六晚间八点左右刚和 Bunga (Jason) 与 Han Yeuan (又称 Chak Kor) 俩在 Station 1 小聚，虽说打从大学毕业后就再也没见过他们了，但还是不会搞到出现认不出他们等之类的情景，好像众男生都不太有些什么大变化似的

Had dinner at Station 1 of NZX around 8:00pm with Bunga (Jason) & Han Yeuan (a.k.a. Chak Kor), long time since MMU graduation, still I had no difficulties in recognizing them, perhaps all the guys also won't really change too much I guess

This was the view from my seat,
normally I pack my car in front of the cafe too
当时在座位上照的，通常我都将车子泊在该店铺之前

至于晚餐嘛，我点了比较笼统的黑胡椒鸡扒和青苹果汁来作为打分目标。饮料并不怎么样，也许应该叫回上一次喝的蜂蜜牛奶比较好；鸡扒则是除了酱料不太够味之外都还可以的，吃着吃着的我突然开始怀念起当初还在马六甲读书时 The Windmill Station 那里香浓的黑胡椒酱汁了

For the foods, I asked for the Black Pepper Chicken Chop and a glass of Apple Juice as a tryout. The drink was just a so-so, perhaps I should really stick back to the Honey Milk I tried during the first visit itself; but the chop was quite OK still except that the sauce was not really strong enough, somehow kind of reminded me with the strong pepper aroma from The Windmill Station back when I was still studying in Melaka

我们仨在九点一刻时就准备离开启程到 Tropicana City Mall 去了，希望能如愿地赶上 District 9 这一部电影吧。在为 Bunga 提供了通往该商场的新路线的简约指示后，我就跟着 Han Yeuan 开始出发了

现下牛车水的空旷与荒凉倒是令 Han Yeuan 感到有少许惊讶的，对呀，要是将之比喻为单独缺少了僵尸们的寂静岭倒也不甚为过，倘若有一天连那些餐馆都搬迁走了的话绝对会变得更糟的

We left Station 1 around 9:15pm and headed over to Tropicana City Mall for the movie District 9, if possible. I followed Han Yeuan's car after provided Bunga with some brief direction for the new flyover to the mall

Han Yeuan was kind of shocked by how vacant and deserted NZX transformed to, well indeed it's nothing now but a silent hill without the zombies, and would surely get worse if one day even the cafe and restaurants there also decided to move out

Bye bye the glorious days
再见了，曾经的光辉岁月

既然 Bunga 比我们俩稍早抵达商场了的关系，到 GSC 去买戏票的重大任务就被拜托给他了；很不幸地... 我们竟然刚刚错过了九点二十分的 District 9，接下来的那一场则是要等到十一点三十五分才开演... 太迟了些啦，等到散场时相信停车场应该除了那些同是刚刚看完午夜场的观众们之外就铁定是空空如也的了，太危险了些... 对不起啊两位，我应该好好查清楚再来的 x.x

Since Bunga reached the mall slightly earlier than both of us, thus he went ahead to check out on the GSC tickets and showtime instead; and thus the bad new... we just missed the 9:20pm show @.@ the next one for District 9 actually fell on 11:35pm at night, which was indeed way too late and would be kind of dangerous too since there should be almost nobody left at the car park except the few who were up for the late night show... sorry for not checking properly guys x.x

Better luck next time, I hope x.x
希望下回会好运一点咯 x.x

最后，我们就落得只到地下层的 Carrefour 去走走一下就了事的地步了，有些出乎预料地我竟然会在哪里看到像张小娴与吴若权等作者的中文书籍，想当年仍在多媒体大学时它们可是我既珍爱又珍藏的宝贝呀

还记得当时我那在 Emerald Park (此乃我生活到大三为止的多媒体大学生专署公寓) 的房间有如变成了众室友及学姐们寻找与商借小说的图书馆。不知道你们还记得洛可可幸福动画 & 音乐馆这一个网站吗？里边可是有非常多当时他们改编自吴若权的小说的动画影片呢

We ended up walking to Carrefour at the lower ground for slight shopping instead, well I'd never expect to see Chinese novels from writers such as Amy Cheung Siu Han and Eric Wu there, I loved their books so much and bought so many of them when I was still studying in MMU

Could still recall how my housemates and seniors from Emerald Park (the MMUians' apartment I stayed until the end of my third year) browsed and borrowed the novels from the piles of books I bought. Not sure if you girls still remember about the web KOKORO Animation & Music Production where they converted all the novels written by Eric Wu into flash clips and published there

Some of the flash videos by KOKORO
洛可可动画音乐馆的某些代表作

我们大约十点半时就离开 Tropicana 了，因为我和 Bunga 住得比较靠近（他是家在 Kelana Putera 公寓）的缘故，该君也就担起了载送我回家的责任。真的很感激你们的盛情之约，要建健康康并一切顺心哦

号外：要是你们打算回去马六甲走走的话请记得通知我啊！先在此谢过了~

Well, we left Tropicana around 10:30pm, this time around I followed Bunga's car instead since it's more convenient for him to fetch me home for he's staying at Kelana Putera. Thanks for the outing guys, take care and all the best for everything

P/S: In case anyone would like to go back to Melaka for a visit or so, REMEMBER to ask me too!!! Thanks in advance~

Sweety Meng Ling ^^ 谢谢~

2009-08-14T23:15:00.000+08:00

今早甜姐儿 Meng Ling 突然通过公司里的 IPmsg 告诉我她将会送我一件很可爱的小礼物，接着就几乎马上走上来我们的部门把这个如此精致的小熊交给了我，好开心呐 ^^

Weeeee Meng Ling IPmsg me early in the morning saying she got something cute for me, and she actually walked to our department right after and passed me this cute bear, so sweet ^^

因为某些原因的关系，Lau (我的同事) 的 last day 已经被提前了，所以我们也就将那为她而设的位于牛车水 Fullhouse Cafe 的叙别会改为星期三（零九年八月十二日）当天了。同样地，这一次我们也是放工后就还蛮准时离开公司启程的。本来我还有那么一点担心，不懂大家能否顺利地闯到目的地去，幸好一切都毫无意外的哦 :)

Somehow there were changes with Lau's (my Powercomp colleague) last day, thus we celebrated her farewell as planned in Fullhouse Cafe of NZX on Wednesday (12 August 2009) instead. As usual we sort of left the office on time and drove there after work. At first I was kind of worried whether the rest could find the way to NZX, but luckily things turned out to be all fine :)

当我步入 Fullhouse 听见侍者告诉我们座位有些变动之时还蛮惊讶的，原来他们已经自作主张将地点转去靠近吧台那儿的阳台去了，人家本来就是和 Jen 打算好了要包下那个有大树的露台的... 不过也对啦，我们人数太多了，就算坐得进也应该会很挤吧 :p

Actually I was kind of shocked by the time I stepped into Fullhouse when the waitress told us that they made certain changes to our reservation, where they replaced with the balcony at the other end near the bar instead... But I guess they got the point too, surely going to be over crowded if I insisted to get the area that Jen and myself initially decided on, since there were way too many of us anyway :p

Actually this was the balcony I booked,
but kind of too small for all of us
本来我是订了这一区的，可却太多人了，坐不下

Fullhouse 其中一个非常显眼的就是身穿女仆装的侍者们了。回想起来当初老大终于都看到她们的相片时可不是一般的失望噢，只因对他来说女仆装一定是类式日本动画里的那几种调调的；拜托，人家是走比较西式路线的好不好？别老想着变装游戏啦，萝莉控啊你？ XD 哈哈开玩笑啦~

One of the most significant trademarks for Fullhouse would be those waitresses dressed in maid uniforms. I could still recall how disappointed my old buddy Ryan was when he finally get to look at the girls' photos, because for him the terms "maid uniform" would definitely be something like those in Japanese Anime; for God's sake... Fullhouse decided to follow the Westerners' look and style instead OK? Don't always think about cosplaying and all, are you Lolita complex or something? XD hahaha mere joking~

Maid: "May I take your order?"
女仆： “请问您想点些什么呢？”

Maid: "Lemme repeat your orders"
女仆： “我将重复客人们的菜单咯”

Bye bye Ms. Maid~
再见啦~ 女仆姐姐~

点完菜之后大伙都很一致地将手头上一本本的食谱叠在 Suresh 的面前，该君也很合作地自愿担起了所谓的班长的责任，“班长在此，大家快点交功课呃~”，蛮入戏的嘛 :p 没记错的话刚才的那一位女仆小姐就自然而然地被众人编成了模拟老师了，不过她自己是什么都不知道的啦 :p

We stacked all the Fullhouse menus in front of Suresh after the food order confirmation, and that was how he came out with the "Call me the class monitor, everybody please pass up your homework now~ fast~" thingy :p If not mistaken they made the waitress the imaginary teacher too back then, but of course she knew nothing about it :p

Everybody stacked the menu in front of
our "monitor" Suresh :p
大家都乖乖地将食谱堆在 “班长” Suresh 面前 :p

反正距离上菜还有一段不短的时间，大家就慢慢地摆驾到购物区去闲逛了。众人有的正忙着拍照；有者则就选择在参观与欣赏店子里的摆设之余继续聊聊天了事。很可惜啊，我又在无意中错过了不少非常经典的镜头，那众男生当时可是拿着一堆店里摆卖的帽子、墨镜、刀叉等到处摆甫士大拍特拍呃 x.x

We still had time before the dinner finally get served, that's the reason for everybody to start wandering around the shopping corner. Some of them were busy with the photo shooting; while those who were not really into it decided just to continue their chit-chatting and sight-seeing session there. Too bad I missed most of the classical moments where the guys were posing here and there for all kind of shots using any of the accessories available for sell there, for instance the hats, sunglasses, folks, and etc

好啦，该是时候吃晚餐了，这一回我点的主菜是煎黄油鱼，饮料嘛则是冰冰凉凉的薄荷配巧克力冰沙咯 :p 搭上浆果和干西红柿呢，感觉上还挺不赖的，可是沾了微甜酱料的薯泥吃下去好像有点怪怪的，建议大家还是不要单独将薯泥留到最后才吃比较好

啊... 兴许是太兴奋还是什么的，我竟然连一张自己的饮料的相片都没照到... 幸好还有他们菜单可以用来秀秀一下，版权为 Fullhouse 所有哦，毕竟我是从他们的官方网站转过来的 :)

Time to dine shall we? This time I ordered the Smooties-Fruities Fish as my main course, and Peppermint + Chocolate topped with Chocolate Syrup as the frosty drink of the night :p Topped with the passion berries fruits and sun-dried tomatoes, the pan-fried butter fish was quite OK, but felt quite weird to taste the mashed potato together with the quite sweetening sauce. Strongly advised to not save the mashed potato for last

Well... I was too excited or something which resulted me failed to take a single picture of my drink... but should be OK since you can get to look at the one displayed on the Fullhouse's menu as followed, copyright Fullhouse as I forwarded the images from their official web

吃饱了该做些什么呢？我们终于都开始吵吵闹闹了，先前在进餐时可真的是有够安静的。大家先从普通的闲聊开始，一直到美食涉猎题材、方向感问题、幽灵事件分享时段等等~ 还记得那班男生突发奇想地认为我们打从一开始就应该只点一壶花茶，然后十多个人一起分享它，再让侍者们不断地为我们一次又一次地添加热水等... XD

当然，相信任何一位都不会忽略了某人异常经典超级搞笑的 “我迷路了” 然后 “啊，我怎么会在你家附近呢” 接着 “既然如此，你就不如带我去走走逛逛” 以及压轴的 “顺便请我吃一顿吧~” 的笑话/方案吧 :p 至于 Kel... 我可是真的不想遇上任何类似你所提及的 “阿飘挡墙” 事件呃，阴历七月就快要来临的这个非常时段更是通通都跟我恶灵退散，我可老是一个人开车来去的，更甚的是若要说我是独居的也不算过分呐，谁叫我的室友总是不回家... x.x

话说回来，Ruenn - Celia - Lau - Swee Keng 的那一角相比之下好像是较为安静呢，我认为其实 Lau 比较应该坐在一群人的中段位置才比较容易融入和搞热气氛，而非远在尾端，这毕竟是为她而设的派对呀 :p 嗯... 事实上有些时候我真的是不太能听清楚你当时在说些什么呢 Lau，不过这或许是我自己个人的听力问题也不一定哦... o.o

So what's next after meals? We started to make noises, were way too quiet when we were munching our dinner. We had something like normal chit-chat, food-hunting topics, the sense of direction thingy, the ghost stories sharing, etc~ I recalled how the guys came up with the "flower tea sharing theory" where we should just order a pot of tea to share among all of us and get the maids to refill the hot water again and again and again and... XD

And of course, not to forget about the how to "lost your way" and "accidentally found yourself at somebody's area" and "get he or she to bring you around" and most importantly "to treat you a meal" joke :p As for Kel boss... I surely hope I will never face the "road-blocking" incident you mentioned, especially when the Chinese's hungry ghost month is almost there again, for I drive alone and consider staying alone too since my one and only housemate is rarely home... x.x

Speaking of which, Ruenn - Celia - Lau - Swee Keng's corner was relatively less talkative, and I sort of think Lau should really sat at somewhere in the middle of the whole group instead of the far end seat, it's her party after all :p Seriously sometimes I could not really hear you when you talk, Lau~ Or was it just me? o.o hmmm...

我们一直在 Fullhouse 呆到晚间八点半左右才终于渐渐地离开。真的很希望 Lau 会有个难忘的回忆，记得一定要保持联络哦。我会非常想念当初哦们老是 “不小心” 调高公司里空调度数的那一些美好时光，更加忘不了的是每每经过你的位置时都会上前去轻轻晃一晃的你的长长的马尾 XD 暂时就到此为止了，希望你在新的环境依然天天开心，前途似锦，还有再多说一遍的 “很高兴认识你哦，马尾小姐” ^^

Well, we were there at Fullhouse until 8:30pm or so before everybody finally decided to call it a day. I really hope Lau had a memorable evening there, remember to keep in-touch ya? I will always miss the time where we "accidentally" adjusted the air-cond in the office, and how I played with your long ponytail whenever I walked passed your cubicle XD Last but not least, all the best, happy always, and nice knowing you again Ms. Ponytail ^^

My Weekend~ [part 2]

2009-08-12T21:19:00.019+08:00

9 August 2009，零九年八月九日
1:30pm - 7:00pm，午间一点半至傍晚七点
Lowyat Plaza & Times Square

正如前文所提，我决定在星期日（零九年八月九日）当天到 Lowyat Plaza 去涉猎我心爱的 BenQ Joybook Lite U101W (纯白) 上网本。本来是打算早上就启程过去的，至少我不需要困在一大群人之间被挤来挤去；不过在跟 Kim Hang （原是马六甲多媒体大学工程系的毕业生，大家是因为同样身在 IT 学会而认识的）以 MSN 讨论一番后我们就一致通过将集合时间延迟至午后三点了。没错，正是将要跟好久好久不见的 Pek Chek Kia 先生会面呵呵

号外：要是你还不知道，现在 Kim Hang 正用着 Pek Chek Kia 这一个别号来为他自己的漫画网志闯天下呢，真的是很可爱很有趣哦，记得去看看咯 ^^

As mentioned in [part 1] I would be going to Lowyat Plaza for my BenQ Joybook Lite U101W (White) on Sunday (9 August 2009). At first I thought of getting there early in the morning for I might need not to get caught in the crowd; but after discussion in MSN with Kim Hang (knew him through IT Society, he was from FET of MMU Melaka) we extended the meet up time to 3:00pm instead. Yeap that's right, were going to meet up with our Mr. Pek Chek Kia haha, long time no see ain't it?

P/S: Just in case that you didn't know, Kim Hang is currently using the nick Pek Chek Kia for his comic style blog, which is very cute and highly recommended indeed ^^

因为不想亲自开车过去的缘故，这几天来我都是在研究和打探到底该如何以轻快铁和单轨电车抵达目的地。谢谢 Ryan 老大、Alvin、Kim Hang、Han Yeuan、Hong、Jen、Bunga、等等的热心指导和提供跟上网本有关的宝贵贴士与意见 ^^ 嗯... 其实开车去对我来说也并非什么大问题啦，应该会选择经过 Smart Tunnel 吧，毕竟一出来就已到达 Bukit Bintang 区了；只是一旦想到从吉隆坡市区回来我家的堵车程度就有够我头疼的了，更何况 Bukit Bintang 的车可不是一般的“少”啊 @.@

Since I didn't want to drive there myself; I’d been researching on LRT and monorail route for days. Thanks Ryan, Alvin, Kim Hang, Han Yeuan, Hong, Jen, Bunga, etc for all the directions, and opinions on netbooks too ^^ Hmm actually getting there by car should still be OK for me, would pick the Smart Tunnel as it lead me to the Bukit Bintang area in a jiffy; but to get back to Ara Damansara from Kuala Lumpur would be quite troublesome as I dislike all the traffic jam and so, surely a great headache thinking of the cars in Bukit Bintang @.@

From Kelana Jaya LRT Station
从 Kelana Jaya 的轻快铁站起程

Yup, this is the route
没错，就是这样

So I need to depart earlier then
看来我必须提早出发了

I need to take monorail to Imbi Station from KL Sentral
(Lowyat Plaza highlighted in cyan color)
然后得从 KL Sentral 乘搭单轨电车到 Imbi 站去
（图中以浅蓝色处理过的建筑物就是 Lowyat Plaza ）

本来我的确是一个人独自乘搭轻快铁过去的，可大约上午十一点时 Alvin （Ryan 老大的 CS 队友）却突然间 MSN 说他打算去找些新的电脑组件，同时也想做做市场调查，因此问我是否介意他也跟我们一起去逛逛。既然 Kim Hang 并不反对,我也就乖乖地让 Alvin 在下午一点半左右来牛车水载我，才一起开车过去 Kelana Jaya 的轻快铁站咯。唔... 他还蛮准时的，不过计划则是被更改了少许，他以“其实开车好像更便宜耶~”为理由而不坐轻快铁了~

结果，我们早在下午两点十五分就到达 Lowyat 了。看来 Kim Hang 应该会因为错过了火车（从 Putrajaya 乘坐 KTM）的关系而稍微迟些才到；我们俩（Alvin 与我）就那么地开始左走走右逛逛咯。在我看来所有上网本的配件和价格都还蛮大同小异的，这表示我应该可以安心地选回我的心水 BenQ 吧；不过为何我看上的东西都是那么地难找啊，几乎将整栋建筑物都翻转过来了都没见到多少跟 BenQ 有关的物件，即使有卖 Joybook 上网本嘛那些店员都只能很抱歉地告诉我他们就只有黑色的版本而已，天！

Initially I was really going there by LRT myself, but suddenly Alvin (my buddy Ryan's CS teammate) MSN me around 11:00am or so and asked whether it's OK for him to tag along as he wanted to search for and price check on some gadgets, too. Kim Hang had no objection, so Alvin promised to fetch me from NZX by 1:30pm and proceed to Kelana Jaya Station right after. He arrived at NZX on time and decided to drive there instead since the resources needed were actually cheaper than taking LRT and so

We arrived early at Lowyat around 2.15pm. Since Kim Hang missed his train (KTM from Putrajaya) and would arrive slightly later; so the two of us (Alvin and I) decided to just go ahead and walked around. From what I saw, the specifications and pricing for netbooks were mostly the same, perhaps no harm to stick back to my BenQ then; however it sure was hard to get what I aimed after, walked rounds and rounds and rarely spotted any BenQ related stuffs, even if there was a Joybook on the shelf the vendors also only managed to offer me the black color version

BenQ Joybook Lite U101B (Black/黑色)

事到如今... 我也不知该说这是否是个好习惯了，很多时候只要我下定决心要完成某件事之时就真的是铁定了心坚持到底了，决不轻易地放弃，反之竭尽所能努力地为了自己的梦想而奋斗... 当然，凡事无绝对，生命的无常并非你我所能真正掌握的，很多时候你只会突然发现事情往往不会都如你所愿... 我也还不是一样刚刚失去了一些自己曾经非常珍惜的人与物... 不过看起来这一回我的顽固的个性终于都有了回报，不断地寻觅对我而言至少比随便地迁就于那一些看起来“还不错啦”又或是“蛮相似的”的替代品好多了

三点半左右当 Kim Hang 在 Lowyat Plaza 底楼联络我时，我还正好要到地下层去提款。没错，我终于都找到那梦寐以求的 BenQ Joybook Lite U101W (纯白) 上网本了 ^^ Alvin 还甚至帮我跟店员讨价还价来争取到免费的零件升级呢，实在是太感激你了。我们仨后来就在 Acer 的展销处会合再一起前往三楼去“赎回”我心爱的上网本了 ^^

Well... not really sure whether it's a good habit, but most of the time once I decided on something then I'd just stick with it no matter what, not to give up easily but strive as hard as I could to achieve or to obtain it... Of course, life is unpredictable and things would not just go as planned, always... I've had lost something I seriously treasured just some time back then, too; but this time around guess it was a right decision to keep my stubbornness and kept searching, and not just gave in for something "good enough" or "close enough" as substitution

I was just about to go down to the lower ground for money withdrawal, when Kim Hang finally contacted me around 3:30pm saying he was there at ground floor of Lowyat Plaza. Yeap, I found the BenQ Joybook Lite U101W (White) at last ^^ Alvin helped me to negotiate for free upgrades too, owe you a big one, my sincere appreciation. The three of us then met up at the Acer booth and headed back to the third floor again to claim my cute netbook ^^

I get the FREE RAM upgrade ^^ Thanks Alvin
店员为我提供免费的 RAM 卡升级，谢谢你了 Alvin ^^

Alvin 在中场离开到 Sungai Wang 寻找他的组件去了；而我和 Kim Hang 在留在店铺里为我的 BenQ 进行了一轮的检查后，就决定要步行到 Times Square 的 Starbucks 去边喝咖啡边聊了。这时候 Alvin 也正好发了短讯过来说他安置好新买的组件之后就会过去跟我们会合了；我和 Kim Hang 俩就先行到 Starbucks 去了咯

号外：谢谢你的 Caramel Latte 啊 Kim Hang ^^ 可惜的是我竟然忘了带相机呐啊啊啊

我们说了很多话，也大笑了不少。看来很多事情都随着毕业等而改变了，幸好 Kim Hang 倒还是跟当年同一个模样呃，不然我认不出他那可该怎么办对不？哈哈哈哈~ 后来因为 Kim Hang 约了同事在 Mid Valley 吃晚饭之故，我们仨就在傍晚五点五十分时立马离开 Starbucks 再由 Alvin 开车将他送到那里去了；要不然 Kim Hang 级有可能会迟到更久呃，毕竟聚餐应该是在六点整开始的呀 x.x 对不起哦... 我没注意到时间... 接着 Alvin 就将我平安地送回我家去了，这也正代表了我这一连周日活动的完结篇，可我的 BenQ 派对却只是刚刚开始而已 ^^

Alvin left half way and went over to Sungai Wang for his gadgets; so only Kim Hang and myself remained there to give my BenQ a thorough checkup, then finally decided to walk over to Starbucks of Times Square for tea and chit-chat session after we were done at the computer shop. Alvin then SMS saying he'd be joining us too, but first he got to place his new gadgets into his car; so Kim Hang and myself walked over to Times Square and settle down at Starbucks ahead instead

P/S: Thanks Kim Hang for the Caramel Latte ^^ Too bad I didn't have my camera with me

We talked and laughed a lot. Things sure changed a lot too after graduation, but luckily Kim Hang still looked the same or I might had difficulties in recognizing him hahahaha~ Since Kim Hang was going over to Mid Valley to dine with his colleagues, we left Starbucks around 5:50pm and dropped him there by Alvin's car; or Kim Hang would most probably be even later, since the dinner was supposed to begin at 6:00pm x.x Sorry... I didn't notice the time... Alvin then drove me back to NZX and guess that marked the end of my Sunday outing, yet just the beginning for my BenQ party ^^

不好意思呃... 因为还不太会控制好晚间灯光效果的缘故，照片的品质好像并非那么好呢。基本上我还有一票的软件等我去灌录，再次谢谢传给我消毒软件等各类 installer 的“供应商” Hong。就到此打住了，谢谢你那么有耐心读完这一篇稿子咯，呵呵

号外：有一点要注意的是，我真的要千万记得随身携带我的相机了耶，不然又只好再次眼睁睁地看着那么多值得留念的事与物白白消失了，时间是决不等人的 XD 不管怎么说相片总是比记忆力较为持久的，所以说还是多照些来好好保存吧，人脑是储存不了那么多的啦~

Ehrm... sorry for the quality of the photos as I took them at night, thus slightly harder to get better lighting effect. Basically I still got tons of software to be installed into my BenQ, my appreciation for Hong for the anti virus installer and etc. Guess that's all for now, thanks for reading LOL

P/S: Hmmm... just one thing, I must keep in mind to bring my camera along no matter where I go, or else I am going to miss all the memorable moments again, time just does not wait for anyone anyway XD It is always better to keep a soft copy instead of trying to capture and keep all the images into our mind, as photos are eternal while memories are not ^^

My Weekend~ [part 1]

2009-08-11T18:45:00.002+08:00

8 August 2009，零九年八月八日
11:00am - 4:30pm，上午十一点至下午四点半
Tropicana City Mall

我想自己应该是在周四当日就联络好 Ryan 老大，看看他“老人家”是否有兴趣一起去 Tropicana City Mall 看电影，结果他就真的上网去预订了 G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra 的戏票咯（周六，中午十二点场）。其实我个人认为并不需要为了戏票而操心的，大致上只要你愿意稍微早一些前往 GSC Tropicana 那戏票绝对不是问题

不知道为什么 GSC Tropicana 总是不会太多人呃，是因为还很新没什么人懂的关系吗，还是众人觉得商场里不像他处般有比较多相比之下更为吸引人潮的店铺吧；可对我来说这正好是最合我意的好去处呢，交通方便又很近，更何况我不需要跟一大群人挤来挤去… 惨了，我该说自己很独立还是很可悲呢，呵呵 XD

如果没记错的话我应该是十点半左右就离开我 D’aman Crimson 的窝前往目的地，再将爱车 Myvi 交给商场那里的洗车中心洗刷刷去了（坐落在停车场的 B1 楼层，最靠近商业中心的那一区）。除了一贯的清洗和吸尘，我甚至还帮她加了车座蒸气清理服务呢（不太清楚该怎么称呼），不然她可能得对着车里隐藏的灰尘和异味哭呃

接下来嘛，因为老大已经看过 The Proposal 了的关系，我就只给自己买了两点半的那一场咯，会过面之后我和老大俩就到了在 GSC 附近新开张的“台湾街”（正在 Subway 隔壁）吃我的午餐咯。食物是还蛮不错的、价格也很公道、地点更是非常适宜，最适合那些在等待开场的群众们了，实在是高明~

Hmm contacted my “big brother” Ryan on Thursday or so to see whether he is interested in movie(s) at Tropicana City Mall, so he booked and got us the tickets for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra at 12:00pm on Saturday (8 August 2009). Actually I think it is OK to not worry about ticket reservation since you can get the tickets to any movies you want easily, if you get there to GSC Tropicana earlier

Somehow the GSC there is always less crowded compared to others, perhaps it is because that it is still quite new or so, or maybe they don’t have much shops yet to attract crowds to the mall; but for me this is the best choice indeed, for the easy accessibility and most importantly I need not to get stuck or pushed around by others… Not sure if I should name it as independent or pathetic hahaha XD

If not mistaken I departed from D’aman Crimson at 10:30am or so and left my car at the car wash centre there (B1 car park, located somewhere nearer to the business suites area), time to give my baby Myvi a nice bath again ^^ Got her the cushion steaming or something too (not sure what it calls already) beside of the normal washing and vacuum services, or else she might be crying with all the hidden dust here and there

Next, bought my own ticket for the movie The Proposal (2.30pm) as Ryan already watched it, then met up with Ryan bro too and headed over to the new shop “Taiwan Street” near GSC (next to Subway to be exact) for my quick lunch. For me the food was not bad, the pricing quite reasonable too, and the location was great and kind of meant for those waiting for their respective shows, thus in brief, strategic~

Ryan grabbed my camera and took this
老大用我的相机照的

大致上我本人是觉得 G.I. Joe 并没什么真正可取之处，不过是一贯的以 CG 加上帅哥美女组合挂帅的动作片而已。还记得我跟老大提起过 Duke 和其他的演员们在飞机内飞回沙漠里的秘密基地的那一幕，灯光感觉上怪怪的，色彩在我看起来总是不断地提醒自己真的是在看着 Hasbro 的模型，而不是实际上应该较为倾向飞机的那一种 “真实感”，就连沙漠也蛮假的。或许这就是所谓的期望越大失望越大吧 :p

就像先前所提起过的，在老大离开去进餐购物等之后我就继续一个人观赏 The Proposal 了。该怎么说呢，如果要我为这两部电影评分的话我一定会毫不犹豫地将票投给的 The Proposal 。我喜欢真个故事的连贯性和处理方式、喜欢主角们渐渐地改变对彼此的看法、更喜欢在他们终于看清对方的重要性之后勇于追求真爱的决心，等等。嗯... 也许不管怎么样我都还是一个女生吧，所以叻还是会比较爱做梦和期望会有个完美结局的，呵呵

For the movies, basically I think G.I. Joe was just so-so, nothing extremely impressive but more towards CG-and-hotties-oriented action movie. I remember I kept telling Ryan how weird the lighting was for the scene where Duke and the rest were in the flying jet while on their way back to the dessert base. Somehow the colors made me feel as if I was looking at a Hasbro toy but not a “real” jet that it was supposed to be. The dessert was kind of faked too. Haha perhaps I had too much expectation that I ended up in disappointment :p

As mentioned I continued with The Proposal while Ryan bro was off for his meal and some shopping here and there. Not really sure how should I put this, but if I got to rate the two movies then for sure I’ll go for The Proposal, without doubt. I like the flow of the story, how they changed their point of views, how they finally realized their real emotion and go after it, etc. Well, perhaps I am still a female no matter what, so I tended to dream and pray for a fairy tale kind of story too no matter what hahaha

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

The Proposal

本来呢我其实还想要接着去看第三部电影的；不过既然我已答应了 Suki 要一起去吃火锅了，看电影这种事随时都可行啦，暂时就这么打住吧。先到洗车中心去接回我的 Myvi 、再到 Taman Megah (SS24) 的皇冠租书店去还还上回借的书本、同时也找些新的回来看看。因为老是太快读完了的缘故，加上懒惰特地回来换，其实我还经常搞不清自己手头上的书本到底是何时到期的；不过还好自己的运气还不错，至少从未迟还过哈哈 :p 该是时候回去 D'aman Crimson 准备准备，好好投入当初 Intact 旧同事们的聚会了

At first I thought of watching the 3rd movie too but well since I promised Suki that I'd join her for steamboat so guess I'll just put the movies on hold. Retrieved my cute Myvi and headed over to HQ Bookstore of Taman Megah (SS24) to return and rented some other books. Sometimes I kind of lost track of the due date since I always finished reading early, yet too lazy to go over and return it right after, but well it must be my luck that I'd never missed any yet :p Time to head back to D'aman Crimson and get ready for the ex-Intactian reunion

My Myvi, shiny? :p
我的爱车 Myvi ，亮亮美美的吧 :p

Princess on Board.. eherm eherm
大小姐驾到，哈哈哈哈

8 & 9 August 2009，零九年八月八日 - 九日
7:30pm - 1:30am，傍晚七点半至凌晨一点半
Kepong steamboat & Suki's house
甲洞火锅店和 Suki 的家

Suki 大概是七点半左右就到我家那儿载我了。当自己发现佩佩竟然不在车里时我真的是有那么一点的惊奇呢；看来佩佩她是睡着了，只会在晚一点才加入我们一起闲聊。本来我还以为将地点从 Suki 家变成甲洞的火锅店就已经是唯一的变化了，不过无所谓啦，最重要的是我们大家在分开那么久之后终于又聚在一起了。我们接着去了甲洞附近的 Caltex 汽油站接 Teoh，你看起来好像有那么一点不太一样了耶你知道吗？是我不太习惯你的发型吗？哈哈 XD 再下来我们仨就与 Suki 的男友 Kent 会合，一起前往火锅店

再三地确定佩佩真的没来了之后我们也没再等下去了，是时候要开餐啦；不过我们倒是有答应过只要她待会儿过去 Suki 家跟我们聚一聚的话，大伙儿就一定会在归途中帮她打包些食物的。基本上我们都将点菜交给 Kent 做主，谁叫他跟工作人员们比较熟呢。有些不同的是我先前所到过的火锅店都是让客人们自助选择各自的食材；而这里呢则是由工作人员依照客人所说的人数来将一碟又一碟的材料端上来。看来他们准备的份量真的是蛮大的， Kent 都只不过点了三人份的食材，我们四位竟然丝毫无法将桌面上的菜呀面食等清完，惭愧啊惭愧

紧接着我们就付款离开，顺道打包些点心给佩佩，然后开车回去 Suki 那同样也是在 Ara Damansara 区的家了。这么久以来我都不知道我们俩竟然住得那么近，直到大约上个星期她在 Facebook 告诉我之后我才终于后知后觉的耶。这是否代表每当 Suki 和她的室友们所办的网上时装店有新货时我都无任欢迎前去“拜访一下”呢？^^ 好方便哦，记得要通知我啦 XD

号外：有兴趣的朋友可以到 Dandelion Boutique 去看看哦

Suki was there at D'aman Crimson to pick me up around 7:30pm. Kind of surprised that Pei Pei wasn't in the car； appeared Pei Pei was sleeping and would only join us for the chit-chat session. I thought the change of venue from Suki's house to a steamboat shop at Kepong was the only inconsistency haha, but well it's no big deal, what's important was that we finally get the chance to meet up again after such long time of missing in action. Picked up Teoh at a Caltex petrol station somewhere near Kepong, hey you looked slightly different you know bro? Not so used to your hair style perhaps LOL. Met up with Suki's boyfriend Kent after that and there we were at the steamboat's

Since Pei Pei decided not to come so we started without her, but promised to pack her something on the way back to Suki's with the condition that she would be there for the chit-chat. Basically we let Kent in charged of the food ordering as he's more familiar with the workers there. This shop was slightly differ from those I been to because we didn't pick the ingredients we wanted, but the workers will get for us in sets based on how many person's we ordered. Guess the food was really way too big portion as we could not finished it although Kent only asked for ingredients for three, despite the fact that there were four of us

Next, paid the bill, bought some dim sum for Pei Pei, and headed back to Suki's at Ara Damansara area too. I didn't know that actually we live so close to each other till she told me a week ago or so, through Facebook. It means I can actually drive there for "visit" whenever Suki and her housemates purchased any new stock for their online boutique, super convenient ^^ Just make sure you let me know ya Suki XD

P/S: For those who are interested, kindly visit Dandelion Boutique

Summer time
炎炎夏日清凉派

在等待佩佩的当儿我们就那么地吹吹水聊一聊咯，还真的蛮担心她的，尤其是在她告诉我们说冲凉准备一下就马上过来的大约一个半小时之后感觉更甚，怎么看我们距离都不算远吧，她从 Sunway 开车过来需要那么久吗？还记得我们不断地致电给她都没人接听耶；不过还好到后来 Teoh 终于都成功联络上她了，原来... 她爽约了 T___T 还好啦，大不了我们迟些再举办些其它的聚会吧，不过很可惜哦，你并没喝到 Absolute Vodka 耶~ 哈哈哈哈 XD

We had our chit-chat while waiting for Pei Pei, was kind of worried actually especially after we waited for almost 1.5 hour's time where we were told that she would be coming over after shower and so. No way had it taken her so long to get here from Sunway as it's consider as close to us too. We kept calling but she never picked up; but luckily Teoh managed to catch her in the end, and it seemed in the end she decided not to join... Well it's OK, we can organize another gathering again someday, just too bad that you missed the Absolute Vodka hahahaha XD

Suki:"Why you hid?", me:"XD"
Suki: “你干嘛躲起来啊？”，我: “XD”

Teoh:"Pei Pei, you coming or not?"
Teoh： “佩佩，你到底来不来啊？”

Why everyone also didn't allow me to take their photo haha
为何大家都不让我照嘛

Gotcha~
拍到你了

Look at the camera, Suki~
快看镜头哟 Suki~

Suki was running away when I tried to snap her
Suki 竟然在我想拍她时跑掉

We drank some of this :p
我们也开了这瓶酒喝了一点呃 :p

不单是如此，我们也一起看了部不错的 17 Again，蛮有趣的、剪接方面也挺顺畅有序、同时大多人物都蛮搞笑的（特别是那位“父亲大人”，加上他与高校女校长以所谓的精灵族语言交谈，和那些跟 Lord of The Ring 有关的剧情片段）。其实我觉得更重要的是这片子述说了人并不应该老是说些什么“如果我没如此如此”又或者是“我正是为了你而放弃了某些机会，现在才会落得如此地步无法高攀”等等；反之，你更应该感恩，并好好珍惜眼前所拥有的事与物。跟电影不同的，现实中的人生就只有那么一次，永远没有给你真的一切从来的机会；要是真的要到了失去了一切的一切时才突然惊觉原来那些往日里看似枯燥乏味的小小细节是那么的重要、又或是才终于领悟那位这些年来本来都默默地留在你身边的某人竟然是那么的无可替代时，那就真的已是太迟了

What's more, we even watched the movie 17 Again, not a bad one, interesting storyline, smooth scene cuts, and funny characters (especially the "father", and the scene where he communicated with the headmistress in the so-called elf-language and all the Lord of The Ring related dialogues :p). Most importantly I think it showed that we should not whine about something like "if only I didn't do this" nor "I am who I am now at my current stage and not any better because I gave up certain thing just because of you"; but on the contrary, appreciate what you have on hand, everyday am a present. Unlike movies, there is never a take-two in real life; it's already too late if you can only realize how important those so-called normal daily life, or how precious a special someone is for you, after you lose it.

17 Again

因为我早已决定要在周日过去 Lowyat 买我的可爱的上网本的缘故，在观赏完影片了之后 Suki 就和 Teoh 一起送我回家而没在她那儿留宿了。谢谢你们给了我这么一个开心并值得留念的回忆噢~ 也许我们也应该至少每个月小聚一次耶，你们认为如何？可以在这里留言或 MSN 谈谈又或是发发短讯告诉我哟~ 不过唯一要记得的是请尽量不要最后一刻才通知我，我可能正好有其它的活动呃，你知道的啦，我可是个大忙人对不 XD

... 要命，我什么时候写了这么多的呀 O.O 嗯... 还是将周日的详情留到第二部再说吧，因此，待续 :p

Since I already decided to go over to Lowyat on Sunday for my cute netbook, so both Suki and Teoh fetched me back to my place after we finished the movie instead of staying over at hers. Thanks guys for such a great evening~ Maybe we should organize a monthly gathering (at least), what do you think? ^^ Can either reply here or MSN or SMS~ Oh and also remember try not to give me last minute calls because I might be having some other plans too, I am a busy lady you know XD

... And WOW such a long post O.O Ehrm... perhaps I should keep the Sunday's for part two then, thus, to be continued :p

Fullhouse, again ^^

2009-08-06T23:09:00.002+08:00

6 August 2009，零九年八月六日
After work，放工后
Fullhouse Cafe@NZX，牛车水Fullhouse Cafe

反正我得到 Fullhouse Cafe 去确定一下自己在八月十四日（下个星期五）的座位预约，我就老实不客气/自然而然地在那儿用餐咯。这一次我可点了些从未尝试过的新东西，而不再是一贯的招牌黑胡椒葡萄干鸡排和冰柠檬茶了哟 ^^

Yeah~ I had my dinner at Fullhouse again since I was there to double confirm the status of my table reservation for 14 August (upcoming Friday). This time around I ordered something new and different, instead of the same old Wok-Sear Chicken Chop and Ice Lemon Tea ^^

The Honey Milk Shake, didn't expect it
to come with the black "pearls"
这是我点的蜂蜜奶昔，没想到竟然会有珍珠耶

So cute so sparking so "yummy"~
这是茶匙握柄的特写，很可爱好晶莹 ^^
看起来很好喝哦~

当然我并非只是乖乖地在自己的座位上等着吃我的泛烙多里鱼，什么都不管咯；既然难得地还不大有很多的食客，这么好的机会我当然是终于都有勇气到处走走看看照照相了

Of course I would not just sat there on my seat doing nothing while I was waiting for my Pan-Sear Dory Fish. Sure was lucky that there were not too many customers yet so at least I got the chance (and courage) to walk around and snapped some photos here and there.

该是时候介绍一下这同样也是五颜六色的主菜 -- 泛烙多里鱼，千万别被它的第一眼印象给骗倒，一层一层叠起来的好像不会太多，可认真吃起来竟然花了我将近半个小时的时间呐。总的来说这道菜还蛮不错的，美中不足的是他们给的餐刀并不太适合拿来吃鱼或薯泥，所以有那么一点点的狼狈

And now, allow me to introduce you the colorful dish of the night -- Pan-Sear Dory Fish. Better not get deceived by the first impression, the way they stacked the fillets made the portion looked small but actually it took me almost 30 minutes to finish the whole dish too. Overall it was quite OK except that the knife was not meant for fillets nor mashed potato, so was a bit messy for me.

嗯... 吃完晚餐付好帐之后我还是继续照了些相片，无法否认 Fullhouse 真的是一间充满惊喜的美美的 cafe 哦，但愿下周同事们到来一起为 Lau 叙别时也同样会喜欢这里咯

Continue to take some shots after I finished my dinner and paid the bill. Guess nobody could deny the fact that Fullhouse is, in deed, full of surprises and superb decorations. I hope my colleagues will like it too when they are here next Friday for Lau's farewell...

其实我可还刚刚从 Fullhouse 那儿为自己的白色系列用物增添了一个新的成员哦，这个以四颗 AA 电池来操作的附闹钟式收音机是我在楼下靠近收银台的曾列柜台发现的，只要轻轻转动旁边的手把就可以随心所欲地收听自己的心水广播了；万一你突然打算不想听电台节目了也很简单，仅需将发光的“腕臂”从圆盘上移开就行了，一旦 LED 的红光灭了声音也会马上消失，很可爱对不 ^^

Actually I just got myself another new "family" of my white color collection from Fullhouse too :p Found it on the display racks next to the cashier counter (ground floor ). Basically it is running on four AA batteries. You may tune to the desired radio channel by holding on and adjust the handler at the side. If you decide not to listen to the radio then simply remove the "arm" from the circular area and place it back to the holder, the sound will stop immediately once the red LED light get dimmed. Quite cute ain't it ^^

对了，蛮多人都不停地询问我关于自己新买戒指的事，我是不介意在这里介绍秀秀一下啦，设计还真的不是一般的酷，蛮 man 的，中间的部分因为不是焊死的关系还可以自由转动呢，不过也正因如此最近我又多了一个闲来无事时玩玩戒指的小动作了 :p

Hmm... since some of you kept asking me about the new ring I bought, guess it won't harm to post and show it here now too ^^ The design, well, quite cool and manly I must say. The middle part can be turned (not fixed) so recently I got a new habit to play with my new ring whenever I feel bored or so :p

The ring I bought weeks ago from Tropicana City Mall

Thinking of buying Netbook 想要一个上网本~

2009-08-05T23:17:00.006+08:00

这几个星期以来都不断地在考虑要不要买上网本呢... 暂时想要的是来自 BenQ 的 Joybook Lite U101 咯，比较合眼的就有纯白和粉红这两个版本，不过十之八九会选择白色的吧。或许这个周末会找些行家陪我去 Lowyat Plaza 走走看看哦 ^^

Kept thinking for weeks... temporary this is what I have in mind, BenQ Joybook Lite U101, will get either white or pink color version but I guess majority choose the white color one. Perhaps this weekend I will get expert to accompany me to Lowyat Plaza and do some surveys ^^

Parents in Town

2009-07-29T19:40:00.036+08:00

26 July 2009，零九年七月二十六日
12:00pm - 10:00pm+-，中午至晚间十点左右
NZX, Ara Damansara, Giant Kelana Jaya,
1 Utama, & my own room (加上我的窝）

跨别两个月后，爸妈终于又到这里来走走了。因为我不太可能轻易地回到吉打州双溪大年的家，唯一能相见的机会就只是当爸爸又再需要下来吉隆坡开会之际了，通常他们都会在我这儿陪着我呆上一两天的…

短短的两个月却发生了那么大的变化，很多时候我都自作聪明地以为只要不说出来就绝对不会拖累任何人，因此不管是悲是愁我都选择不告诉父母，没想到他们竟然一开始就已经察觉了… 让你们为我担忧挂虑真的是对不起啊爸爸妈妈… 不过不要太担心啊，你看我还不是活得好好的，不管怎么样日子还是得过的是不？ ^^

老规矩，七早八早起床来先将房子再彻底地打扫干净然后将一切都准备好待命，随时都可在接到电话后第一时间冲到对面牛车水停车场那儿去迎接和帮父母拿东西。嗯，没记错的话他们应该是正午就抵达了。我们接着就去了 Aman Suria 的“居銮面”吃午餐咯，基本上食物味道是不错的，父母也好像接受得了，唯一的问题是太大份了，下回儿还是跟妈妈合叫一碟好了

本来是打算带父母到也是位于 Aman Suria 的另一间店铺吃咖哩云吞面的，没想到这么早就全数卖完了，无所谓啦，下一次再碰碰运气咯。理所当然的驾车的当然是本小姐咯，爸爸在高速公路上驾驶了那么久一定是累坏了；再说家人当中又有谁会比我更了解和熟悉这一区呢，对不对？

After the two whole months, my parents were here in town again. Since I couldn’t really go all the way back to our home at Sungai Petani, Kedah, thus the only way to meet up would be the time when my dad’s going to have his meeting in KL again. Normally they’ll drop by and spend time together with me…

Things sure changed a lot within those two months, many at time I thought that as long as I kept everything just to myself I would not burden anyone else, whatever sad or bad news I chose to hide them from you both, without knowing you already realized since day one… sorry for making both of you worried so much about me back then, mum and dad… As you can see, I’m all OK now, back at one piece and standing still, life goes on anyway ^^

Hmm… I woke up early, cleaned the sweet house, got all the things ready and paid attention at calls so that I could get down to NZX area to meet up and move the stuffs with parents on time. If not mistaken they arrived at my place around 12 noon or so. We had our lunch at Kluang Noodle @ Aman Suria area after that. Well, basically the food was good and parents kind of like it, the only problem might be the big portion, perhaps next time I should share a plate with mum instead.

At first thought of taking them to the Curry Wantan Mee at Aman Suria but already sold out, well will keep that for next round of visiting. Of course I was the one driving since dad was tired too after the long distant on highway; plus, who else among the family members could be more familiar with these areas than I do?

接下来我们一起去了最靠近我家的 Kelana Jaya 的 Giant 霸级市场选购一些必需品，怎么好像买的全都是给我用的而已啊@___@|| 在 Living Cabin 买了一个超可爱的小摆设哦！人家可是多年前就开始哈了它很久呢，呃，其实到底该怎么称呼它？太阳能摆设？别急，看看照片不就一清二楚了吗？同时我还买了一把纸伞呃，可惜的是那种大一些合适一些的全都卖完了，我的这一种好像有点短小哦，不过至少有道具能带去参加明年的盆踊り了 ^^

号外：对了老弟，你的老姐可是只靠着 GPS 自己去了 Giant 一趟就完全不需要它，单凭自己的记忆力闯天下了，酷吗？你要试试看吗？奸笑奸笑奸笑奸笑

反正时间还早，我们就先行回去我 D’Aman Crimson 的家整理一番同时休息休息，晚些才跟表兄姐她们会面。本来我是需要在五点半左右去 Kelana Jaya 的 LRT 站接秀娟表姐再到 SS2 那里去跟获文表哥与他的未婚妻诗韵一起吃晚餐的；不过后来既然获文必须回去他工作的 Media Prima （很靠近 1 Utama 的比较旧的那一栋建筑物）那里解决一些事情，我们就决定将地点改至 1 Utama 咯。秀娟甚至还说我们不需要去接她了，皆因她应该会工作到六点钟，更何况她的办公室是在 KLCC 里呢，应该会稍微迟到些

Next, brought them to Giant Kelana Jaya for some shopping, ehrmm but guess everything we bought were actually for me @___@|| Found something really cute from Living Cabin! Been searching for it since long time ago but not too sure what it calls haha, a solar detect errr deco? Well whatever, because once you look at the photo you would surely know what I was trying to explain. Bought a paper umbrella too, too bad the bigger and more suitable ones all sold out so I need to stick with this smaller shorter version… well at least I got something to bring along for the next Bon Odori ^^

P/S: By the way bro, guess what, I’d only been to Giant myself with GPS once and now I can totally depend on my memory, cool ain’t I XD Why don’t you try to be like me? HAHAHAHAHAHA

We went back to D’Aman Crimson to rearrange the things and get some rest before meeting up with cousins. At first I was supposed to pick Siew Khen up at Kelana Jaya LRT station around 5:30pm and to dine with Hock Moon and his fiancée at SS2 area; but then we changed it to 1 Utama instead as Hock Moon had to get back to the Media Prima building (located just somewhere next to old wing of 1 Utama) and settle something. Siew Khen even said I need not to pick her up anymore because she had to work until 6pm and will be slightly late for her office is located in KLCC.

爸在测试 Celcom wifi

说真的，我必须要跟获文道歉呃… 我不小心误解了短讯的意思，以为聚餐已延迟至晚间七点才开始@___@||当获文致电来说他已在 Media Prima 那里准备过去 1 Utama 时我和爸妈才刚在牛车水准备开车，更因为路上 Bandar Utama 那一区堵车和耗时找泊车位的缘故导致我们六点四十分左右才赶到约好了的集合地点哪… 让获文和诗韵早在六点一刻就开始等我们了，真的不好意思，十分惭愧…

获文在带我们到位于一楼的“记得食”（热带雨林那一区）后就联络秀娟告诉她我们的动向了，不过看起来她应该是会有些小麻烦吧，毕竟这一间店铺并不是十分明显，更何况获文忘了提起热带雨林这么一个重要的路标呢 :p 所以当秀娟的丈夫耀忠（也就是我的表姐夫）突然现身并惊觉自己的妻子并非和我们在一起而是不知闯到哪儿去时我们真的不知该惊讶还是大笑的好；不过无所谓啦，反正她随着就也找上门来了XD

嗯… 妈决定要多叫几样菜肴大家一起平分，其实我们点了不少菜哦，所有的小菜都是双份的，皆因这么一来我们七人才能真正的品尝到每一种食品啊，可惜我的照相机的记忆存量又是不太足够没办法多拍几张来秀秀当晚我们点的佳肴。不过感觉上秀娟表姐应该不会介意我去她的 Facebook 那儿“借”一些照片来应急吧 ^^

Seriously I should apologize to Hock Moon for making him and Soo Ei (his fiancée) waiting there at 1 Utama as early as 6:15pm… I got the message wrong so I thought the whole thing got postponed to 7pm instead @___@|| Parents and myself were only about to depart from NZX car park when Hock Moon called saying he’s already there at Media Prima, and we could only arrived at the 1U stage area around 6:40pm due to slight traffic jam at Bandar Utama and the hardship in finding parking slot, really so sorry for the long wait...

Hock Moon took us to The Frutti Stall Restaurant (at 1st floor near the rain forest area) and contacted Siew Khen for our where about once we settled down, but guess she ended up having a hard time locating the restaurant as it was not really too visible, and Hock Moon forgot to mention about the rain forest :p We were kind of shocked and felt amused when Yew Choong (Siew Khen’s husband) suddenly showed up assuming Siew Khen was already there with us, but only found out his wife was still wondering somewhere out there; but well she arrived shortly after her husband, so let’s put this aside shall we ^^

Hmm… Mum decided to order dishes to pass around and share among us. We ordered quite a lot of delicacies, basically every single a-la-carte also doubled so that all of us would get to taste them nicely, too bad I didn’t really take much of the food photos as my camera was running out of memory again. Guess Siew Khen won’t really mind if I “borrow” some of the photos she took and posted on her Facebook ^^

Ready for photos?
准备好要照相了啊？

Snap the snapper
来啊，互相斗拍

基本上我们一整晚都是在说个不停，甚至还决定要到牛车水去来个第二轮的喝茶时段呢 XD 其实这是一个对的选择哦，当时的“记得食”已经越来越多人了，我们怎么说都不可能在吃完了那么久之后还来在那儿不走吧；看起来他们都不太懂得该怎么过去牛车水，因此我们就在各自拿了车子之后开到 Bandar Utama 区的 Centra Point 集合，再由我带路

大致上我们在牛车水那儿走了一圈，拍了些照，大聊特聊了一阵子才到那里的 Station 1 喝些饮料充电一下。我点的蜂蜜热牛奶真的很不错^^ 别问我为什么点它啦，就算我已不是小孩了我还是喜欢它啊XD 因为爸爸真的累了加上父母都须在隔天（星期一）很早起身跟着准备上班的我一起出门前往吉隆坡的缘故，我们就此散场了。这也代表了第一部曲的终了^^

We had our chit-chat along the night, and even agreed to get to NZX to have a second round of drinks there XD Quite reasonable and well thought as the restaurant itself was getting crowded and we shouldn’t stay there for too long after we finished every single food; thus we get our cars and gathered at Centra Point, Bandar Utama, before I guided them back to NZX area as they’d never been there before this and were unsure of the exact location and all.

Well, we had a walk, some photo shooting, lots of chit-chat and then ended up at Station 1 NZX for a drink. The Hot Honey Milk I ordered was not bad ^^ Errr don’t ask me why I ordered it, I just like it although I’m no longer a kid XD Since dad was tired and parents got to wake up early again on Monday morning and head over to KL city right after I off to work, we decided to call it a day. Guess that’s the end for part 1 ^^

27 July 2009，零九年七月二十七日
From my place to KL
从我的窝到吉隆坡

就像先前所说的，父母也必须随着我出门上班之际一起离开我的窝了。他们在 Kelana Jaya - SS25 区吃完早餐以后就开始启程到吉隆坡市区去办理旅店入住手续等等。秀娟表姐甚至还在 KLCC 与他们会和一起去吃午餐，晚上还并着耀忠表姐夫陪父母去大人餐厅吃晚餐，到 Pavilion 走走等。其实这一切都是我真正应该做的，但我却呆在公司里忙这忙那... 我还真够不孝的... 谢谢你咯表姐，不知该怎么报答才好...

As mentioned, parents had to leave my place with me once I was off to work. They had their breakfast somewhere in Kelana Jaya - SS25 area and headed over to KL for hotel check-in and all. Siew Khen met up with them again in KLCC and brought them for lunch and all. She and her husband even accompanied them for dinner at Esquire Kitchen, a walk at Pavilion and etc. Actually I should be the one to do all those but was not able to take leave due to the due dates and work loads on hand... Feel so bad now... Thanks a lot cousin sister, owe you a big one.

28 July 2009，零九年七月二十八日
From KL back to Sungai Petani, Kedah
从吉隆坡回到吉打州双溪大年的家

在爸爸午间从 Wisma Jerneh 那里开完会不久父母就从旅店退房准备开车回家了。不知怎么的，我好像有点庆幸当天自己在看到父母时并没哭出来呢，他们还真的生了一个很麻烦很糟糕的女儿啊。不管怎么样请记得要好好地照顾自己，我应该十月会请假回来了，到时见！

Dad had a meeting in Wisma Jerneh until somewhere around noon. Parents were then checked out from hotel and headed back to Kedah again. Somehow... I was kind of relieved that I didn't cry or so when I saw them :p What a troublesome daughter they got :p Well, please take good care of yourselves, I'll mostly be back to Kedah in October, see you both again then ^^
