It’s 7.30pm on Hari Raya Eve….

30 Sep

It was 7.29pm on Hari Raya Eve and I was still in the office…

I was bored…

Time seems to pass rather slow…

And the office was quiet, solemn and empty…

One SMS came in asking me to come down from the office quickly…

I ran… and I was excited seeing them coming…

4 Days After My 28th Birthday…

28 Sep

Four (4) days had past since my 28th birthday and I have not written anything since then. Therefore, I wanna take this opportunity to thank everyone for your birthday wishes and gifts. I still receive birthday wishes up to today. Thank you, thank you guys…

Some of the presents I received this year…

..

I am contemplating whether I should thank everyone personally… maybe I should but I can’t possibly name everyone. I wanna thank :-

  1. Shiu Lin for the treat at Thai Express @ Pavilion;
  2. TC for the ‘How I Became a Quant’ book (TC always give me book and I love every book that he bought)
  3. South Zone leaders for Photoshop CS3 Book (been longing for this book);
  4. My Dearest Juleen for the three presents… shirt, cufflinks, key chain, and also contributed some to the Photoshop CS3 Book (very thoughtful presents);
  5. All the birthday wishes at Facebook, Friendster, MSN, SMS

..

BUT not all birthday present come easy without paying a hefty price. Believe it or not, I have to sacrifice my dignity this Friday to earn my birthday presents from the cell group… sob sob! What happened is, I have to dress like a fagot and pose for them. Luckily, I have Daniel to go through it together with me…

.

Good looking RuehYinn before the makeover… (who cares about self praise is no praise… hehe)

See what happened to good looking RuehYinn and Daniel after the makeover…

Not only that, they forced us to take obscene and digusting pictures. I may look happy and excited with my new makeover in the picture but NO NO, I AM NOT!…. I was forced to have put on lipsticks, fake breast and etc… sob sob!

See what they did to Daniel … (what the peace sign for Daniel???)

The whole thing was so disgusting, until beautiful and sweet Jenli…

turned into this (disgusted face)…

While others having a lot of fun looking and laughing at what they have done to us. Yeah, sure they are funny until your birthday next… hehehe… then I will be also laughing my a** off…

How can you eat the cake, dear? You should come and save me from all the bullies…are you one of them too? Hehe…

.

Whatever it is, thank you guys. Because of you guys, I had a beautiful 28th birthday. Thanks again!! Hopefully I have many more blessings to come in the new year…

Happy Birthday My dearest!

Happy Birthday RuehYinn!

Michaelangelo’s @ Soho KL, Solaris Mont Kiara

24 Sep

On Monday night, Juleen and I thought of going for a date and we decided on Soho KL at Solaris Mont. Kiara. It will be our first trip to Soho KL. None of us have idea how to go there. But after a few spin here and there, we finally arrived. Since we have been to Soho at New York, we do expect to get something similar, at least to some extent. But to our dismay, a lot of shops are still vacant. Probably the area is still new but this area definitely has great potential…

Since there are not many places to go to, we decided to have dessert at Michaelangelo’s. From the outside, it does look like a posh Italian restaurant…

The interior design is very classy and the warm lighting makes the restaurant a good choice for couple who are looking quiet atmosphere. Their service is good too. The waiter and waitress are very friendly and responsive…

Despite looking posh from the outside, I’m in the opinion that the restaurant is a mid – range Italian restaurant catering for people with above average income. So, you don’t need to have deep pocket to eat at Michaelangelo’s. Once in a while, won’t kill you… hehehe!

Sweet Juleen at the restaurant…

Here are some of the food we ordered..

Tiramisu (RM15.90) – Sponge finger biscuits dipped in espresso liqueur, then layered between rich mascarpone cream, topped with cocoa powder…

Bruschetta Al Pomodoro (RM11.90) – Roasted Italian loaf topped with fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil and seasoned olive oil…

And do you know who we met at Michaelangelo’s? Our own Malaysian top model and actor, Steve Yap. When Steve walked out, I realized he is tall and and very well – built. Hmm… maybe I should go to gym :-) . Who knows I will become Malaysia next male top model…haha!

Most importantly, Juleen is happy and satisfied at the end of the day… thus I am too!

Chilli Pan Mee, Taman Connaught, Cheras

18 Sep

After spending half a day at Hutan Lipur’s Sungai Congkak trip, we stopped by at Cheras, Taman Connaught. RuehYinn promised to bringing me to eat this famous chilli pan mee. (ahhh… food after a tiring trip! yummy!)

Thirsty and hungry

This is the chilli pan mee that we are talking about…

This chilli pan mee is famous for its dry pan mee with home made special chilli paste mixed into the noodle. It gives the noodle that spicyness and flavor. The fried anchovies and minced meat adds onto the overall taste of the noodle. In addition, the texture of the noodle is smooth and soft.

The price is RM 4.50 for small bowl, and RM 5.20 for big bowl, additional egg is extra RM 0.70.

Other choices of noodles they offer:-

Images of Sg. Congkak – The Pleasant One…

18 Sep

Some of the photos taken at Sg. Congkak. I am pretty impressed with the result. Make sure to click on the picture to view the large size. Guarantee you will think RuehYinn is pretty talented in photo taking :-) . Opinions are most welcome…

1. The trees. Young and thin but tall…

2. The rapid. Strong and refreshing…

3. The wooden bridge. Dilapidated but still useful…

4. The river. The source of life…

5. The leaf. Fallen yet colorful…

Hutan Lipur Sg. Congkak – A Disappointment?

17 Sep

I have been toying with the idea of going to Sungai Congkak for a retreat and to enhance my photo taking skill for a while now. I was supposed to go there last weekend but it was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. However, today I was fortunate to gotten a leave and take advantage of Juleen’s break (it’s Selangor’s public holiday) to fulfill my plan…

We started our day by bringing Juleen’s grandpa for breakfast at Kayu’s. Juleen’s grandpa enjoying his breakfast with the maid, Riti on the right…

Juleen can’t be bothered, the roti telur is more important… (hehe)

Then, we were on the road to Sungai Congkak. The whole journey took us 45 minutes, not as far as I thought…

You got to pay for parking and entrance. Remember, there is no free food in this world…

And we were greeted with two kids at the entrance who wanted their photo to be taken. Pay attention to the second boy… Initially I thought he was pointing middle finger towards me :-) . Anyway, they are friendly and cute..

We were thrilled… If I was not mistaken, it was Juleen’s first trip into the forest. And as for me, it has been a while since I did my last jungle tracking, so I was very excited to be back into the forest again… (tarzan roarrrrr)…hehe!

Juleen at the entrance :-)

Click! Click! … we just snap photo whenever we found a good spot.

Juleen and I :-)

Juleen by the river. The water is crystal clear and frigging cold…

We moved on after we click click (snap photo la) from one spot to the other. Next, we crossed a wooden bridge and Juleen almost fell into the river because there was a big hole on the bridge. Moral of the lessonnever look at the back and talk while WALKING…

Our relationship got better after that experience. See how much I cherish her by holding her tightly :-) . We never know how much it mean to us until we lose or almost lose it, in my case! Ugly experience turns into beautiful pictures (hahaha)…

As we moved deeper into the forest, we realized something is amiss. After the wooden bridge experience, we found out that almost all the facilities in the forest were not being maintained properly.

Therefore, forgive us for the rest of the post since you’ll experience some unpleasant sights and sarcasm too. Nevertheless, those unpleasant sights’ pictures turned out to be beautiful pictures. Beautiful pictures are pictures that not only has the right composition and colors but also tell stories… (self praise)

….

1. Eerie washroom. We dare not go into despite wanting to pee! It does look like a haunted house to me like the one in the movie… :-)

2. Water tank which is fully grown with weed and trees. So if you use the toilet, you know where the water comes from…

3. The changing room. Not recommended for the weak heart. Lizard might peep on you, so be mindful…

4. The BBQ pit. I am sure extra aroma for your food if you use this BBQ pit…

5. The street light with the transformer waiting to fall on someone’s head. Who knows those that are fortunate to experience it and survive may stumble into new discovery? Remember how Isaac Newton discover the Law of Gravity? Thanks to the apple!

6. I dare you to sit on the chair that has already molded. Extra layer of cushion… 100% natural :-) hahaha

Anyway, I am thankful to have someone that’s pleasant looking accompanying me throughout the trip :-) . Jungle trekking is never Juleen’s cup of tea and I know she did it out of love…

And as for me, I walked back with a disappointed discontented heart. This picture of me captured just the right feeling. Eyes looking high and far showed that I was looking for more in Sg. Congkak. Walking ahead and alone showed that I have yet to give up hope on Sg. Congkak, when others do…

Overall, Juleen and I have a good outing though it was not what we expected in the first place. Well, at least I got my retreat… I did enhanced my photo taking skills… and most important of all, I managed to spent quality time with Juleen.

Stay tune for the next post for more pleasant pictures, I promise!!
