That's Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside Hotel tagline. HL and me will be checking in to one of Pullman's Indian themed room this coming Saturday. Thanks to my client for this brand experience.

Tasted before last year and I would give a near perfect point of 9/

2009-01-27T09:30:00.002+08:00

It was my first time celebrating the chinese new year with HL's family. It was my first time baking cookies over their place using the small oven as well. Remembering how my mom and I used to bake using such a small oven too and it consumed alot of time when we need to bake in large quantities. Thanks to my dad who bought my mom a bigger oven 3 years ago. We had such an enjoyable time baking nice

Mee Rojak + Cendol Pulut = Lunch

2008-11-09T09:24:00.005+08:00

Had a craving for mee rojak and cendol recently. I just love the peanut gravy and with lots of vege and tofu and some fried stuffs. Drove down to a stall van near the SS24 turnoff from the LDP, Kelana Jaya. The stall is just by the road side under the lush trees and it's easily seen. It's very satisfying especially during the hot days when you need to cool down.You can have your rojak added with

Revisit Melaka

2008-11-02T16:52:00.011+08:00

I have this sudden passion for photography. Probably I was influenced by my friends who loves taking photos. Woke up this morning at 6.15am to have a photography session in Melaka with HL. These are some of my favourite and artistic shot.Early morning sunrise outside our house.A black and white version which is pretty dramatic!I love this classic looking wooden door at the Stadhuys.Contrasting

Happiness...

2008-11-02T00:47:00.002+08:00

Raya Potluck

2008-10-22T09:11:00.002+08:00

I've been doing alot of eating lately. Thanks to the Raya festival month. Had a small potluck lunch in our office and everybody had so much food and it lasted even for dinner.

Another coming up this Friday. Looks like I

Passing Time...

2008-10-21T08:33:00.003+08:00

Time does fly when we are down with work. Took this photo while I was working on my laptop in a nice cozy lounge area @ The Curve while waiting for HL to get his facial done. Got some of my work done there and then in peace since there's not much crowd in the shopping mall on a Monday :). Unfortunately, there's no free WIFI.

Fly Me to Kota Kinabalu!

2008-09-29T23:45:00.011+08:00

A day after our wedding, HL and I flew to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah for a short 4D/3N local honeymoon getaway. We took the honeymoon package in Shangri-la Tanjung Aru.

8 days away and counting down...

2008-09-04T23:47:00.003+08:00

I've been riding on a roller coaster lately with work + wedding preparations. This is clearly proven for not updating my blog for over 2 months in a row! Sorry for about that but, am too lazy to story tell what has been happening in my life.Well of course, the biggest event in my life will be happening in another 8 more days. Nervous? Excited? Anxious?...I've no idea, probably because of the

Golden Shuzs

2008-07-14T16:32:00.007+08:00

Finally, I'm a proud owner of a pair of shimmery gold shoes! I'm always wearing my 'Teva' flip flops wherever I go cause it's so comfortable and stress free. I know it's a lousy and boring shoe apparel which I am wearing everyday but I don't mind it at all. So, finally, HL bought me these pair of glamorous shoes at 'The Robinsons' over the weekend shopping.(xie xie ni lou gong jai ^_^) Tra-la-la.

Kanna Curry House @ Bandar Menjalara

2008-06-22T21:32:00.007+08:00

HL and me headed for banana leaf rice for lunch today at Kanna Curry House @ Bandar Menjalara before heading to his appointment for a haircut in The Curve. HL told me that this particular banana leaf chain in SS2 serves good food. So, we gave it a try. Firstly to my dismay, their service was extremely slow -_-. Took them quite a while to come to order our drinks and food. There was not even a

So Green and Serene...

2008-06-22T21:08:00.004+08:00

...and here I am, sitting in the new office facing the serene lake and mother nature :)..and it pays quite a hefty rent for this unit! The feature wall of the studio was painted in olive green which is my favorite color. As you can see from the photoz, our furnishings are mostly from IKEA...(my boss likes it).The lake is alwiz a popular spot for fishing. I saw a giant gold carp the other day

New Office New Look!

2008-06-04T10:11:00.003+08:00

My current company will be shifting to SS7 (at the back of Kelana Seafood Center). As usual, my boss wanted the office to be painted red. Here's how it looks! :PWill be working in the new environment starting in July. I hate to shift as there's so much things to pack and then unpack again. Then, there's no more RM2 chap fan for lunch :(. Food will be expensive over that area plus no more free

Killing two birds with a stone...

2008-05-31T01:01:00.001+08:00

Last week, I received 2 great news in the morning. Firstly of course, I don't know if I can consider this as good news. My uncle is planning to sell off his condominium that I'm currently staying in. We are suppose to shift out by the 3rd quarter of this year which is in September! This is such a sudden news. I'm homeless for a moment as the news came to my ears. My brother's house which he

Go-Go-Gohan

2008-05-19T19:42:00.016+08:00

It's Friday night and I decided to give HL a dinner treat @ Gohan's. Just to show my appreciation as he has been patiently waiting for me to finish work late at night. Reached Gohan @ Sunway Pyramid at about 8.45pm and it was quite packed with people. I was astonished by how they presented their pastas on the outlet display window. Clever idea to capture people's attention. Vibrant and delicious

Shortlisting...

2008-05-19T00:50:00.004+08:00

It has been such a hectic month working in the office without having to find time to update my little blog >_<. You can imagine how ironinc it is spending so much time with my work. Looking at people getting off from work at 6pm to spend quality time with friends and family makes me thinking of...'I wish I could do the same...'. Sometimes, I would agree that having to face your colleagues

Langkawi Re-visited

2008-04-17T21:49:00.009+08:00

After months and months of preparations, we finally had our pre-wedding shoot at Langkawi. Having the beautiful island as our destination is the perfect backdrop as both of us love mother nature. The experience of flying for the very first time to Langkawi a couple of years back with HL and 2 other friends was so exciting that I couldn't sleep the night before.Having a stunning backdrop is not

Thai Food @ Rak Thai

2008-04-12T02:32:00.010+08:00

HL and I had always wanted to drop by 'Rak Thai' to savour their food and we did so last weekend for dinner. Located at the Lower Ground Floor in between the crossover from Midvalley to The Gardens, it is easily spotted with a small 'gerai' with baskets mangoes and sticky rice in front of the outlet. It is usually packed with people and we thought that maybe the food is good! And it is really

Lunch@Fong Lye, The Gardens

2008-03-24T23:36:00.011+08:00

Had a decent lunch two weekends ago at Fong Lye. We made our second time back here since the food was excellent. The variety of food will definitely take you a long long time before you decide what to eat.First and foremost, we ordered our drinks. The Mango Yogurt Juice was the ultimate choice for HL. I had only plain water :P and took a few sips of the refreshing juice.Since I have cravings for

Yes, I'm the architect of the upcoming Pullman hotel at Putrajaya. Muahaha...The hotel was situated just beside the lake and Putrajaya Convention Center, PCC. Stunned by the greatness of the different architecture and concept of Malay, Chinese, Indian and Borneo, I'm sure this hotel will do very well in the future. You will be amazed with the details of the carvings, furnishings, landscaping and

PHOP

2008-03-07T23:41:00.005+08:00

A few weeks ago, I had 'PHOP'....Panddington House Of Pancakes for breakfast. Although it's consider a little luxury breakfast, but it's worth to pamper and reward yourself once in a blue moon with some good food...'PHOP' has a large variety of different pancakes with different servings and you will be spoilt with choices. Their breakfast sets which starts from 8am-11am and comes together with a

I've been bugging Mr HL to bring me there for dessert and he finally did for Valentines.

2008-01-26T23:35:00.000+08:00

HL took me by suprise and drove me down to Ikano Power Centre and gave me RM10 to buy myself a dessert from Yogur Plus. It was to celebrate our memorable date "wink wink" and just couldn't help it but to take a photo of the yogurt ice-cream in the car with my old PDA camera :P. Had toppings of strawberries, peaches and some chocolate chips to go with the low fat and healthy yogurt ice-cream.

Rombongan Makan-makan Malam

2008-01-15T00:26:00.000+08:00

Right after our short tour from the KLCC Skybridge, we headed to Bakerzin in Isetan, KLCC to have dinner as planned earlier. Sat down on a nice cozy area and started to browse through their menu. Dan and Dominic are first timers dining in Bakerzin whereas it's the 3rd time for me and HL. We had a total of 6 main dishes and 6 desserts to finish off. Sounds like a food marathon but we enjoyed it

Lawatan Sambil Belajar - KLCC Skybridge

2008-01-13T22:16:00.000+08:00

Firstly, here's a BIG THANK YOU to dan for arranging us a visit to KLCC Skybridge, which I've been longing to go long long time ago. Before we were able to stand majestically inside the bridge, we have to go through several procedures which took us nearly 40 minutes;1) quieng up to get our tickets checked and have a coloured tag passcard2) quieng up to get our bags and body checked for security

2008-01-10T01:18:00.000+08:00

Congratulations again to our Eugene a.k.a 'Nike' on his wedding last Sunday, 6th January. Like what his elder brother told us in his speech, he is no longer the usual little 'boy' that they used to call him as he is now a grown up man!

First Day Of The Year "Yi Leng Leng Fatt"

2008-01-01T16:08:00.000+08:00

It's only the first day of the year and I have already something to complain about. The increasing prices of food that I had this afternoon for lunch is way too unfair for consumers. Had the famous yong tau fu in Jalan Ipoh and these are the price comparison within the past few years:Prices per piece:2005-2006 : RM0.502007 : RM0.60 - RM0.702008 : RM0.90I guess I won't be frequenting

Finding Food Foundry

2007-12-26T23:57:00.000+08:00

It was a wet and cold night...and the usual question from HL: 'what's for dinner' always pops up everytime I got into the car. Well, the LDP was rather jammed up and slow moving, thus we decided to take the back route heading towards SS17. HL then suggested to have either the famous Kanna Curry House or Food Foundry. Undecided, we toss a coin in the car and Food Foundry was the choice. It is

Christmas Party @ Daniel's

2007-12-23T20:53:00.000+08:00

2007-12-15T16:06:00.000+08:00

Wantan Mee Frenzy

2007-12-09T21:37:00.000+08:00

After reading food blog (Eating Asia) I was so tempted and eager to taste the food they recommended. HL and me are wantan mee lovers and decided to give a try at this restaurant.

I've been so indulge in finding good food during the weekends...especially in Klang Valley. As promised, HL brought me to this place recommended by 'Ho Chiak' some time ago. It's in Taman Sri Sentosa in Jalan Klang Lama. Took us quite a while to find this secluded area. Food was good but rather expensive. The popular Kung Fu Pan Mee(dry/soup) was priced at RM4.00 for small.We also ordered 2 pcs

Thursday, 8th November @ 8:00pmGot a pair of tickets to watch this fantabulous musical show...thanks to Daniel Ong. It was my first time sitting in the Plenery Hall @ KL Convention Center. I would say the stage is rather a bit small for such musical shows. As our tickets are RM300 each, we had a good view of the performance on stage. Great solo singing, great dancing...and of course great music!

The Tooth Devil

2007-11-11T18:31:00.001+08:00

There's a tooth fairy...and there's always a tooth devil. I happened to bump into one since last month and it really hurts.

Hubby bought me a lovely perfume from Noi Bai Airport, Hanoi. I'm now the proud owner of the limited edition of L'eau D'Issey and I love it because it has green floral patterns!

eki*s macaroni cheese pasta

2007-10-16T23:06:00.000+08:00

Created my own signature dish of macaroni cheese pasta which turns out to be rather tasty for a tuesday dinner. Don't know why I got this inspiration...but I just mix and match whatever I have in the kitchen and veges that I bought from the morning market. Took me less than 1 hour to prepare and it's rather simple to cook...muaha-ha-ha. Any upcoming potluck?...then I shall introduce this dish to

2007-10-16T10:35:00.000+08:00

Most tourists/Malaysians that came to Melaka complained that this place is blazing hot and humid. Believe it or not, the photo that you are seeing now was taken this morning when I was on the way back to KL. The entire Alor Gajah area was under a thick shroud of cooling midst. Awesome sight isn't it :). Guess this phenomena only happens during the early mornings...haha. How I wish it's like this

Week-ender Break!

2007-10-15T13:06:00.000+08:00

It's so nice to be home during the long weekend ho-ree-day season!...and of course, baking is usually a thing to do to kill the time. Digged out a baking book given to me by a bunch of university friends (HL, Eugene, Shirley, Wai Khiong, Jessy, Brian and Eunice) on my 21st birthday.And so I chose to bake the most simplest and yummy Banana Bacon Rolls. Did that once a while ago and found that it

Mythical Halong Bay...the emerald green waters

2007-10-09T09:20:00.000+08:00

I was caught in awe when I first saw Halong Bay. It was so beautiful that you just need to sit back and relax on the junk boat while passing by the different shapes limestones....ahhh...such a bliss that I could actually make it here :). Overall, the trip to Hanoi was enjoyable although it rained during our stay in town. Will post up more photos later. I need to catch up with my office work at

2007-09-27T20:56:00.000+08:00

I was on the way to a meeting near Lot 10 and a huge bunch of green balloons caught my attention at the traffic light junctions. I love the color green and I love balloons too! Don't ask me why :P. Anyways, when I got the balloon, I was given another stick of windmill flower...with a 20% discount petal cars stuck to the stick. Cool idea huh. I thought it was a very good advertising and brand

Mamak are not cheap now!

2007-09-27T13:02:00.000+08:00

When we wanna eat cheap food, mamak was the no. 1 choice, but not for now. Last night, we had supper in one of the normal mamak stalls. Ordered normal tosai, roti pisang, nescafe tarik and milo kosong ais...and total amount was RM7! Was so suprised...and we can actually eat proper chinese economy rice 'chap fan' within RM7....What the...@#(*&$(*@&#(*

You probably can only find these species of groundnuts in Raub, Pahang. It's very crunchy and the fragrance of the peanuts makes it addictive!!!....Thanks to our accountant, Henry for bringing us mooncakes and these peanuts.

Let's have a mallow blast!...which in the end doesn't give me any blast :P. Bought this Hershey's Mallow Blast from a supermarket for RM1.50 (in a small pack of 5 inside).

2007-09-07T17:13:00.000+08:00

This morning, I got a pleasant suprise from my hubby dear (HL). The flower delivery boy pressed the bell of my office and called up my name. I thought one of my supplier was looking for me but it wasn't. It has been 2 months since we registered on 070707. Well, this was HL's first time buying such a big bouquet of flowers for me (white lilies are my favourite). Was so touched by his move :)...

SKYY Vanilla + 7Up = A Perfect Match

2007-09-03T22:16:00.000+08:00

Taste superbly haven. My first time drinking vodka in such a nice mixture minus the bitterness that all these while I don't drink alcoholic beverages. The first seep felt like enjoying a beautiful abstract painting...mmmm...I only drank 1/4 of a small cup. Poured only a little bit of vodka with lots of 7-up. The 7-up taste was strong enough to cover the alcohol but the after taste of the vanilla

The long holiday weekend was a definite 'yay' and 'woohoo'. Watched Die Hard 4 on Thursday night at home with my hubby . I must say it was a good action pack movie that you 'die die' also must watch.Then, on Friday morning, woke up at about 9am and had brunch - spaghetti bolognaise with bacon,ham,hotdog and egg (RM4.20 each set)and quench our thirst with a glass of cooling 'belimbing kam kat'

Sob~sob~. I'm no longer staying in my own house that I bought recently. Stayed there for a couple of days after all the lighting and fan installation last Saturday.

Mcdonalds' new range of sauces was quite yummy. Love the lemon tango sauce compared to the others. Guess this is the replacement for the sour cream sauce that I love previously. Mmmmm....

Sounds like I'm in Madras having my lunchie? But in fact, I'm actually in one of our very own street in Kuala Lumpur. Madras Lane is actually next to Petaling Street. Found this little 'kaki lima' makan makan haven recommended by my brother. There's stalls of Yong Tau Foo, Chee Cheong Fun, Curry Laksa and Cendol. All looks yummy and indeed, it tasted superbly sedap. We usually makan in this area

Vigorous Workout

2007-07-14T13:52:00.000+08:00

It has been more than 7 weeks since I had my last workout in the gym. With loads of work to attend, I hardly had a chance to join my favourite class - body pump. Last night, I finally had a chance to pump my muscles up again. Couldn't catch up as fast as I used to. Maybe my muscles had to much of a holiday :P. It's good to feel the sweat again and have a good shower after that.Anyways, since I've

Memoirs Of 070707

2007-07-05T20:02:00.000+08:00

Come this Saturday, I will no longer be able to 'tick' the 'single' or 'bujang' column when filling up forms. Will be joining the circle of 'married' or 'sudah berkahwin' status whilst becoming a legal wife of HL. We will be off on Friday to get things done ; buying myself a bouquet of nice flowers, get his hair done and driving back home after lunch. Then on the early Saturday morning @ 6.30am,

Banana Leaf Rice Galore

2007-07-03T09:32:00.000+08:00

Banana Leaf Rice is an exciting gourmet adventure not for the faint eyed nor those with weak stomaches. Colourful, hot and spicy it is a Southern Indian rice specialty creating waves in the bigger towns in Malaysia. Lately, I've been having lots of Indian food. I just love their dishes and different curry gravy. This particular stall that I went to charge a basic rice and vege package ranging

Spongebob Frenzy!

2007-06-26T09:02:00.000+08:00

Finally, I managed to get the original Spongebob plush toy ($29.90) for HL from Singapore. Not only that, I got him a Lego like Spongebob keychain ($7.90) and a 'pirated' Spongebob boxer ($10). Got all these from some shopping complexes in Orchard Road. I only got myself a nice dress ($55) from BCG, Bugis Junction for my registration day next Saturday. Overall, shopping in Singapore is not as

Malaysians a.k.a KPCs

2007-06-02T16:44:00.000+08:00

Just couldn't understand why most Malaysians are so curious or KPC in everything especially when there's an accident on the highway. I was stuck in a massive traffic jam on the North-South Highway this morning from Nilai to Seremban. The bumper to bumper crawl was about 10km and a hefty time of 45mins was wasted. Thanks to the curious on-lookers who slowed down their vehicle just to catch a
