Boom Boom Boom, Make way for the Red Dragon!

Christmas just ended on 25/12/2011, New Year's Day just ended on 1/1/2012, now it is time for Chinese New Year which started on 23/1/2012. Oh, God! I am not ready for Chinese New Year yet as it is too close to the previous celebrations and holidays. And without noticing, the last most celebrated festive season is coming to an end already >< I need more holidays! More public holidays to escape from the boring weekday routine.

Due to Chinese New Year peeped in too quickly, most of the shopping complex did not have time to redecorate the malls with exciting colours and mascots. So, do forgive me that I only took 4 shopping malls' decorations this year.

4th Place :: China Wind :: The Gardens

Boring decorations although they tried to fill the shopping complex with most of the Chinese antiques along the long corridor. Still, I find it quite uninteresting.

3rd Place :: Red Lantern :: Mid Valley

Clearly Mid Valley did not spend time decorating its mall at all! Everything was very simple and dull. Sorry to say that I do not like the decorations at all!

2nd Place :: The Water Dragon :: Sunway Pyramid

Hmm, Sunway did something fascinating this year by bringing up a huge golden dragon and a small waterfall as a symbol of the water dragon. Great effort does pays back! This place Sunway in the second place since their decorations are quite appealing as compared to others.

1st Place :: The Dragon Dance :: Pavilion KL

Woohoo! A flying dragon dance on air! How could I not say Pavilion did the best job amongst all shopping malls?? Everything seemed perfect and extremely fascinating in this high class shopping mall. Besides, the teddy bear show in front of the mall was also enough to attract many visitors to drop by for some photo-shooting sessions~ Good job!

Levain Boulangerie Patisserie~

2012-01-06T20:50:00.012+08:00

Feel like having an afternoon tea like any other rich ladies in the garden, or in an expensive lounge? Now, you have the opportunity to since you could choose to dine in at Levian, which is located just nearby KLCC. Seeing many photos regarding the food, the ambiance at this restaurant, both of us had the urge to throw some petty money into the ocean by enjoying a cup of tea in this garden-like restaurant.

This is 1 good thing when we chose to visit the restaurant during Christmas as the mood of the restaurant will be far better than its usual look~

Their signature dessert of all~ Macaroons

BREADS~~~~~

Mushroom Cream Spaghetti

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8/10

* Merry~Christmas~ 2011 *

2012-01-02T23:37:00.013+08:00

Santa Clauses with beautiful Santa Ladies; Unique Christmas themes; Rain Deer performances; Presents-giving Seasons; and Most importantly, it is the holiday mood among all stages of people, from children to elderlies! So am I, having the Christmas mood already since we stepped into December 2011. The Christmas tree at dear's home has already been coated with silver blue ribbons and ornaments since November. Awaiting its time to shine once the clock sings merrily at 12.00 am sharp on the 25th of December.

This is the moment again, once in a year...My personal ranking on the artworks of each shopping malls which I had taken for the year. This year, there are 7 respective shopping malls~

7th Place :+: KLCC :+: The Musical Box :+:

Oh gosh, after excluding the extremely tall purple Christmas tree for about 2-3 years? They have no thought of any remarkable ideas to design their shopping complex, which happens to be the main spotlight for every tourists! Work harder please!

6th Place :+: Times Square :+: Toy Story :+:

As usual the bottom 3 of all shopping complex, Times Square, well, since they do not have the creators to design they place and that shopping complex do not need to have a grand opening like Pavilion KL or Mid Valley.

5th Place :+: The Gardens :+: The Feast :+:

Perhaps it was the location; perhaps it was the long corridor; perhaps it was the lack of space problem..perhaps perhaps perhaps.. which made The Gardens's Christmas decorations forever so similar each year. A few glowing trees with some exchangeable decorative presents. Hope they could change their theme next year..probably a really long stage?

4th Place :+: Sunway Pyramid :+: The Santa Village :+:

Regarding SP's Xmas world, I liked their hanging crystal trees and at least there was a theme here. The place was filled with rain deer and snowmen as well as huge Christmas trees covered with snowballs. Good job!

3rd Place :+: Mid Valley :+: The Chess Maze :+:

Seriously, I was kind of disappointed with Mid Valley's Christmas surprise this year, opps, I meant 2011. Their decorations were once amazing, terrific and unpredictable until 1 Utama and Pavilion KL slotted in a bunch of creative designers cracking their heads just to put a surprise into their shopping malls. Now, even though Mid Valley's decorations still remained elegant and beautiful, it was still incomparable with the 2 new gangsters. Keep fighting, Mid Valley!

2nd Place :+: 1 Utama :+: Underwater Kingdom :+:

Woohoo, what a theme! Never thought that they would think SO outside the box. Instead of using Christmas Trees like every other shopping malls did, they utilised the event by making up a special theme, which was an underwater Christmas party along with the mermaids, shell fairies and other underwater wonders.

Have you every thought of decorating your malls into something so special like that? Nah! Christmas time? Of course you need those tall green trees, if not you are not celebrating Christmas at all! Was what most of the designers thought even they discussed about the decorations. I loved this unique, out-of-topic theme~ Still, I do feel that there are still room for improvement. Add oil for a more complete Christmas feel this year~

1st Place :+: Pavilion KL :+: The Merry World :+:

Tada, my ranking number one boy, Pavilion KL! I was very impressed to see when they actually brought in a merry-go-round into the mall just to stress on their Christmas theme of the year, Christmas Wonderland. I heard my mom said that they had a street of teddy bears outside the mall! Ish, how could I possibly forgot to snap photos with those teddy bears! T.T Great work, Pavilion! I love those colourful Christmas trees and most importantly that bright magical merry-go-round.

Anyo-Haseyo~ Day VII (29.9.2011)

2011-12-14T23:48:00.005+08:00

7.30 am ** Breakfast

Our flight back to KL departs at 11am. Before that, we had our Udon noodles breakfast at a China-man restaurant, which also has a large supermarket. We were once again being cheated by Candy that there will be cheap stuffs to purchase from the supermarket. It turned out that most of the food sold there were extremely expensive! =.= GIVE ME BACK MY KOREAN MADE TIDBITS!

11.00 am ** Goodbye Korea~

* The journey to Korea end *

Anyo-Haseyo~ Day VI (28.9.2011)

2011-12-12T23:52:00.009+08:00

9.30 am ** Cheongwadae Sarangchae

The last night in Korea.. We were brought around the ancient palaces of former presidents Korea, plus a little shopping time. A highly disappointed trip to Myeong-dong.

9.45 am ** Museum

10.30 am ** Cheong Wa Dae

The signature of this building is its blue tiles, which catches every visitors' attention when they try to steal a look at the former presidents. The also so-called blue house, built in 1991, houses the offices of the president.

10.45 am ** Gyeongbokgung Palace

This palace was built in 1395, it was also arguably the most beautiful and remains the grandest of all five palaces in Korea. Although most of the premises were destroyed during World War, all 7,700 rooms were later restored during the region of King Gojong.

A bunch of Japanese high school students~ Oh, I love their uniforms! Those can be worn to anywhere as a piece of casual clothes with that sweater~ Unlike our turquoise blue, old, lame uniform =.=

1.00 pm ** Lunch

*Forgot to take photo*

2.00 pm ~ 6.00 pm

During this period of time, we were brought around the city to purchase expensive healthy stuffs like ginseng, amethysts, hepaguard and cosmetics. Even in Myeong-dong, we were led to expensive Pavilion-like shopping malls for shopping. How on earth am I going to buy anything there?!

6.00 pm ** Dinner

This ginseng chicken is extremely hot which caused me unable to go back to Dongdaemun Market to shop till dead again!

In the end, after believing Candy that the next day we will be brought to another shopping paradise again before departing the morning flight back to KL, I chose to go back to the hotel instead of taking a cab to shop again..

My little bit of collection from Korea

* The journey of day 6 end *

Anyo-Haseyo~ Day V (27.9.2011)

2011-12-06T22:16:00.012+08:00

7.00 am ** Breakfast

9.00 am ** Everland

Cabi,cabi..Oh, Cabi,cabi~ Dear thought that we could have the opportunity to visit the brand new Carribean Bay which is located in the Everland. We even brought an extra swimming suit for this purpose! Unfortunately, our door ticket is only available for dry and extreme parks. Well, I am only there for photo-shooting~ XD

Lucky us, as it was near to Halloween so the whole Everland is decorated with Halloween theme. Pumpkins, witches, devils, skeletons... boo!

The first thrilling ride dear is going to experience, which is also the scariest roller coaster in the world (currently) as it has many 90 degrees slide downs. NO! I am surely not going to ride that which will pull out my heart with its bare hands. So sorry dear.. I had to leave dear to ride that scary thing all alone. T.T Forgive me...

There he goes..Hero!

"Wait for me at the Four Season Garden and must be careful" is all he left to me after he enters the cave to the adventurous ride. So, I swept every nice scenes into my camera along my way to the promised place.

Finally, the Four Seasons Garden~

12.30 pm ** Lunch

I wonder how many people will leave their foot marks in this little museum which has the history of Everland. We were bored, that is why we entered here to spend our time, and there is AIRCON in there XD

In the end, I did not get to play a single game in the Everland. Only could play those childish monster hitting games, watch 3D action short clips. Who made me so timid?! T.T

4.30 pm ** Dongdaemun

It is finally shopping time!! But, it is Autumn already and all shops have mostly winter clothings for sale, even for shoes also mostly boots. =.= again...no clothes to buy...

Street food!

6.00 pm ** Dinner

After dinner, I thought that we are allowed to return to the hotel while the rest who had booked for the Nanta show will go for the show. Who knows, Candy said that we will be brought to another place where we could have roadside snacks as supper. OK, fine. But, who knows again, we are stranded in some dark road where we had to search our ways for places to see. In the end, it was both of us who led the way to an alley where there were street food, mini markets and wet markets. What the hell! Idiot Candy! You should have allowed us to head back to the hotel or just leave us at Dongdaemon to shop longer and we can find our way back to the hotel! Leaving us in that dark roadside, with a bus without aircon! We had to wait until almost 10 pm for the show to finish before we can head back to the hotel. DAMN!

The journey of day 5 ended.

Anyo-Haseyo~ Day IV (26.9.2011)

2011-11-28T16:35:00.013+08:00

8.00 am ** Sun Cruise Resort & Breakfast

Only 1 night, we are allowed to enjoy our stay in this 5 star hotel where probably only a handful of guests have the opportunity to spend their nights in this mysterious ship. Dear loved the silky bed which was the only bed he could sleep in comfortably during our trip in Korea.

The hotel~ the hotel is famous for its sunrise viewing and sea viewing. Sadly, due to we slept late the night before, we could not crawl out from the warm bed at 5.30 am to see the sunrise and snap memorable photos T.T

8.30 am ** The Sculpture Park

9.40 am ** North Korean Submarine Exhibition Area

The submarine was owned by North Koreans which they used a spy tool and were discovered in September 1996. It was then displayed in the infiltration site.

In short, this submarine is just a display item which allows you to gain more knowledge about the life of a navy.

Few MUST eat snacks when you visit Korea! Loved the honeydew flavour ice cream~~

10.40 am ** Hourglass Park

Supposedly, we could witness the dancing sands as the glass begin to fill up until it turns upside down at 0:00 on the first of January. However, as the government is no longer willing to spend a bulk of cash to maintain the hourglass, its time remained untouched since last year.

11.20 am ** Jeongdongjin & Jeongdongjin Train Station

This train station was famous for shortest distance to the sea.. well, that's all anyway... ==

1.00 pm ** Lunch

Euh..another Mushroom Steamboat again! I need meat please!

2.00 pm ** Seoraksan National Park

This will be another bumpy ride to the mountains again.. However, as long as you manage to accomplish the mission of climbing up to the top of Seongsan Iichulbong Peak, this little to the safe side of the hills is definitely a piece of cake~

2.30 pm ** Gwongeumseong Fortress

4.00 pm ** Sinheungsa Temple

An ancient temple which is the resting spot of a great bronze statue named Bronze Jwabul Statue.

6.30pm ** Hot Springs

After a long journey around the mountains and hills, it is time for us to rest our bodies by soaking ourselves in the hot springs wonderland beside the hotel of the night, Phoenix Park.

Due to the fact that we arrived late at the hot spring resort, there were no other guests besides us! Shiok-nya~ They both outdoor and indoor hot springs. The only mischievous guests who ran out to the dark outdoor super hot springs and sauna just to feed the thousands of mosquitoes were US. So playful la! The workers then locked the doors after we sneaked back into the indoor springs.

8.00 pm ** Dinner

BBQ!! This is it! The best wanted food I need in this chilly weather as we are in the most northern part of the country, which happens to be the first area to experience snow when fall ends.

I love the dinner~~

The journey of day 4 ended.

Anyo-Haseyo~ Day III (25.9.2011)

2011-11-20T21:28:00.008+08:00

9.30 am ** Yongduam Rock (Dragon Head Rock)

Why we depart so late from hotel to our first destination of the day? It was due to the fact that Candy could not get the earlier departure tickets from Jeju to Incheon and our trip had to be delayed until 12pm. It was also due to the Chinese company which booked all the flights from Jeju to Incheon! Sad... Why we travelled the same time as them? Bad timing...

2.30 pm * Lunch

Another yummy lunch of the trip, as soon as it is meat!

Once we arrived at the Incheon Airport, our trip has another personal photographer where this person (Andy, probably =p) will be assisting us along our trip in helping us to carry luggages into the bus, adding dishes during our meals, taking photos of us whenever we need. He does charge us for a price at the end of the trip where we need to purchase some of the photos he had taken for us (approximately RM 15 per piece).

4.30 pm ** Namiseom Island

This another famous spot of Korea where you must visit. The fabulous scene used in the Winter Sonata.

6.00 pm ** Chuncheon's Myeong-dong Street

A tiny shopping area.

ONE PIECE !!!

We were exhausted and extremely hungry. Yet, we still need to travel about 2 hours to reach our oasis since it was at the most southern part of the country where our hotel of the night, Sun Cruise Resort, the main delicious part of the tour is located.

8.30 pm ** Dinner

Alamak, after a long journey to get to the hotel, all we get was a pot of mushrooms, some pork, some octopus... I NEED MORE MEAT!!

10.00 pm

Before crawling back to our hotel rooms, we dropped by the viewing tower to have a complimentary drink.

The journey of day 3 ended ~~

Anyo-Haseyo~ Day II (24.9.2011)

2011-11-19T22:12:00.016+08:00

8 am ** Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak

HOT!! The weather was damn hot!! Still, I was surrounded by the heat without any proper sun block lotion to prevent myself from becoming an Indian. Sign... High mountain, here I come! It was a breath taking journey to the top with the heavy camera and the heavy bag, along avoiding the rocky road. And finally, with my final breath, I reached the top without tumbling down from the bouldered stairway.

Enjoy the full view of Jeju Island~~

I was around there just moments ago! Wahaha! Wonder how much grams I had lost? XD

+/- 10 am ** Seopjikoji

After a hectic opening of the day, we continued our journey to our next destination, which is Seopjikoji where we could have the opportunity to snap a scene with the most romantic, promising church. Sadly our tour would not bare the expenses if we desire to explore the church.

11.30 pm

It was souvenir buying time~ Well, thanks to the tour guide, we were brought to a black shop which cheating our money by selling Jeju Island specialities in a much higher price than other shops. Wuuu..

12.00 pm ** Lunch

" Today, we will be having pork as our lunch," announced Candy, the tour guide. I was delighted to receive that message as this would be the first MEAT I could have since I came to Korea. Day first was quite disastrous since every meal was nothing but vegetables, except for the seafood dinner (but, I can't eat much seafood!).

Wooo.. dear and I were amazed by this car~ Malaysians should have imported this model and I am sure that a dozens of people will be driving this apart from those Mercedes lovers.

12.40 pm ** Seongeup Folk Village

Jeju island has a traditional custom where all men must be treated like Kings and women were described as labours to men. Jeju women has to walk miles away from the town to the mountains to gather fresh waters; has to dive a thousand feet down the sea to catch fishes for living; still, they are treated like dogs. Even though the custom has now faded, you could still witness these women around the seashore, catching fishes and sea creatures for living.

There were no gates in front of every home. Only these 3 sticks will do the trick, whether the visitors are allowed to enter the home.

If all three sticks were lying on the floor, means: the owner is at home.

If two sticks were blocking the way, means: the owner has gone out to somewhere near and he will be back in a short while.

If three sticks had been lifted, means: the owner had gone to somewhere further and will not be home for quite some time.

2 pm ** Trick Art Museum

It is show time! Time to act out your talent with the existing artworks and unleash your imaginations! Just how we interpret with the artworks~~

HAHA..this suites dear the most!

Tiny dear~~

4.20 pm ** Cheonjiyeon Falls

Water falls.. Well, this is where we saw the cheaper Jeju specialities chocolates. Haihs..

5.00 pm ** Photo-shooting in Korean Clothes & Kimchi-Making time

Hehe.. dear chose the best piece of all~ Prince clothes.

Dear's~

Mine~

6.00 pm ** Dinner

We were brought back to the same restaurant as the day before as according to Candy, all other restaurants were fully booked by the Chinese company employees (more than 1000 people).

Luckily we were given a different menu for the day and I loved this day's meals. The Korean Bibimbap was awesome!

The journey of day 2 ended~

Anyo-Haseyo~ Day I (22.9.2011 ~ 23.9.2011)

2011-11-07T09:59:00.022+08:00

11.30pm ~ 22.9.2011

We depart of KLIA in the lousiest colourful MAS plane which took us about 7 hours to reach Seoul, Korea. Dear grumbled the moment he stepped into that tiny colourful plane. He expected more, since we are travelling via MAS airlines instead of Korea Airlines. Assumption: MAS should provide a more enjoyable air trip. Sadly, he did not either had the chance to spend his 7 hours watching movies, or playing games. In conclusion, he had to sleep in with me just to wait for the announcement, "Ladies and Gentlemen, kindly fasten your seatbelt, adjust your sits to its upright position; we are about to reach Incheon Airport."

Good morning!

+/- 8am (Korean time is 1 hour ahead of us) ~ 23.9.2011

Here we are, at Iicheon, waiting for our tour guide's arrival to bring us to the first destination, Wolmido Seagull Cruise. There were a total of 6 families including dear and I, joined this tour. 1st family was a Malay family of 3 (Mother, Daughter and Son); 2nd family was a pair of Chinese sisters; 3rd family was a Chinese family of 2 (Mother and Daughter); 4th family was a pair of Chinese female friends (Linda & Carrie if not mistaken); and the 5th family was a Chinese family of 3 (Mother, Son and Wife).

9am ♥ Wolmido Seagull Cruise

The attraction of this destination is, lift out your hand which contains pieces of crackers into mid air, and watch while the merry-go-round seagulls spot and eat your crackers.

After spending about 1/2 - 1 hour on the ferry, we are brought to another location which seemed to be quite deserted on that day. Perhaps it was a local weekend for them?

The ferry which we had just rode moments ago~

I love these streets as most of the shops were filled with colourful logos and unique designs. Unlike KL shop lots, boring and lame fonts -.-

About 10.30am

We were brought to Gimpo Airport where we depart from Incheon to Jeju Island on a 12pm flight. I seriously need my meal that moment since we had our breakfast at 5.50am in the airplane. I am near to eating my thick cardigan already. FOOD PLEASE! Still, I am only fed with a bar of kit-kat and some sweets to relieve my thirst for a short while. Do you know, people who went off floating in the air with an empty stomach will never gain peace in their lives? Well, perhaps, it is only for my case.... FEED ME!

Before my stomach's grudge is disappeared, let's enjoy exploring at the Gimpo Airport.

From Incheon to Jeju Island, it took us about 1 hour to arrive.

Between 1.00pm ~ 2.00pm ♥ Lunch

We finally arrive at our lunch spot where we could taste the most traditional Korean Cuisine.

In fact, everything on the table seemed quite raw to me and most of the food are vegie, vegie, vegieeeeee... Oh no... I can see the God of Vegie running towards me, forcing me to eat him or else my stomach shall remain empty until dinner! I pitied the Malay family since they could not consume most of the food being authentic Muslims. Besides, both Linda and Carrie did not seemed to like Korean Cuisine as well since everything were quite raw.

+/- 2.30pm ♥ Mysterious Road

After lunch, it is time to start moving on to the next destination which is the mysterious road. It was said that once a taxi driver whom parked his taxi on this road and left his vehicle to grab a drink. Magically, when the taxi driver returned, he discovered that his taxi had moved to down the road as if it had been bewitched even though the road was a straight road instead of a slope. The incident was later told by old folks to the younger generation that there were living demons who pushed all vehicles from one spot to the other. Well, you think so too?

3.00pm ♥ Teddy Bear Museum

Woo.. I just loved being in this museum~~ XD Therefore, prepared for a DOZENS of photos~~~

The most expensive bear in this whole gallery due to its diamond tiara!

We were told to gather at the bus at 4.20pm. Both of us got out from the museum at about 4.10pm, and headed towards the place where the buses where stopped. However, the moment we walked out from the museum, dear somehow noticed that the bus which just passed before our eyes was OUR tour BUS. Hoping that he saw wrongly, we headed to the parking area, trying to search for our bus. Unfortunately, his sense was right when our bus was no where to be seen in the parking. WE WERE LEFT BEHIND!! Feeling extremely worried and furious, we decided to seek help from the employees of the museum. Sad to say that none of the employees understand our request to borrow their phone to call the tour guide's handphone. One of them who seemed to understand our hand language, explained to us that their phone is unable to call the shown number. What the hell?! If that phone is unable to call any number, then why is it lying there consuming space?! As an accessory?! Bullshit! Left with no choice, dear had to use his phone to call the tour leader's phone and REMIND her that we were left behind.

I was extremely frustrated at that very moment. Where on earth did any tours did not do head counts before they move to the next destination?! Worst was there was only 14 of us!!! NOT 30 or 50 of us! And, do you all know what kind of rubbish excuse both the tour guide and tour leader gave? "I thought both of you changed places." Eh, HELLO, there was a bright WHITE colour cardigan on our seats, are you both blind??? The bus was quite small and did you 2 not see us behind?! ARGH!

Because of their highly honourable mistake, we had only 30 minutes to spend in the Jeju Underground Shopping Center since we had to reach the restaurant for dinner at 6pm.

5.30pm ♥ Jeju Underground Shopping Center

6pm ♥ Dinner

The journey of day 1 ended

3..2..1.. Here I come, Anio-Haseyo~!

2011-09-21T22:03:00.004+08:00

To the country of famous beautiful and sexy girl bands and handsome and cool boy bands, I will be going in a 24 hours time~ How much money had I saved just to go to this country to throw myself away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the noises from next door and the stress from work~ I feel good!

My Childhood Romance

2011-09-15T22:39:00.006+08:00

When was the very last time I blew the dust from this blog? I wonder... As there were no suitable topics available for me to write, I decide to shut myself away from this paradise, until something special floats over in my mind. Here, one of the most common golden topic I was interested in delighting my blog readers with, yours and my childhood romance.

I wonder how many of us actually remembers our childhood? The food we ate; the toys we played; the activities we did in order for us to pass through this once in a life time moments. As for me, I had quite a few memorable moments of my childhood life. Never was I a quiet and cute girl when I was young. I liked being a copycat and liked the taste of being praised of many kindergarten friends when I scored full marks in memorizing Chinese poems, grammar, spelling bees and other kindergarten level education. I liked being surrounded by a swam of fellow friends, being admired by a bunch of monkey boys, liked the feeling of being treated like a real Princess even though these bling bling moments only maintained till I ended my kindergarten life and entered the cruel primary life. Still, luckily I could start enjoying my primary life when my talkative character came in handy.

I love being young, who doesn't? I love being embraced by adults around me gently, who doesn't? It is just that these feelings can just be kept in the time capsule and be discovered when I grow older and older.

Below are some of the sweet items which accompanied me throughout my life~

I bet each and every one of you had eaten these when you are young right??

I love Super Mario, even now I still liked playing these mini games!

Ha, my Barbie Dolls's faces are all 'blackened' by me since I was horrible at protecting my things.

This is definitely my most celebrated cartoon since young. I still watch and collect their figurines now, 吹么?!

Ghibli Studio~ Totoro, To-To-Ro; Totoro, To-To-Ro~~❤❤❤❤❤

Sailormoon! I had a dozen of stickers of this Anime and exchanged with a dozen of people when they had better and nicer ones~ Those colourful sticker albums are still nicely kept in a corner of my room.

I had only managed to watch the first season of Dragonball. They reminded me the lousy Malay translated voices from TV1-3.

I admit that the lasted Tom and Jerry ain't funny at all == Great disappointment.

I wake up at 8am just to watch Sesame Street every Saturday along with my sister when my parents had gone out for work. *giggles*!

A Gold Coated Afternoon

2011-08-07T21:14:00.008+08:00

I do wonder how would it felt if I were to have the chance to sit in a cozy garden, dressed in a pearl white summer dress, enjoying my Darjeeling Tea as well as busy choosing the lightest appetizer, main course and dessert from the mouth-watering tower of food... That would be extremely elegant and wonderful, although I will definitely turn into a human pig if I were to continue that kind of lifestyle everyday. XD

Well, once in a while is never a bad idea after all when Wilson gave me a sweet surprise to bring me to Mandarin Oriental Hotel's Lounge on The Park for a gorgeous afternoon tea.

Normally how do you do when you wanted to drink a cup of tea?

*Just turn the kitchen upside down for a tea bag and sink it into a cup of warm water will do!*

Yeah, that is usually what normal humans will do anyway, so do I.

However, when you have the money, the maid, the chef, the situation will be completely different.

They will need a table of fancy gadgets just a make a pot of fantastic tea~

Tada, your tea is served with a

His Tower of Food

Yummy jam for the bread~

My Tower of Food

I wonder is there anyone who can finish that tower of afternoon tea before dinner??? That amount of food can be called as dinner already!

So, in order not to waste the remaining food, we decided to pack the rest and enjoy the rest at home whenever we feel like enjoying a nice afternoon tea again~

Sweet 22nd with My Dreamy Valentine (The Second Twilight)

2011-07-13T20:19:00.006+08:00

●▬▬▬▬▬▬● The Second Twilight ஜ۩۞۩ஜ The Royal Romance ●▬▬▬▬▬▬●

It is my second wonderful night with the one my love~ A wonderful night stay at Mandarin Oriental Hotel~

Amazed with my magnificent room once I have entered this dreamy room, with a perfect view of KLCC, although the last photo was covered up with the curtain ==''

The final touch is filled when another mouth-watering dinner is served at Wasabi Bistro, Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

We had the set dinner which comes with an appetizer, salad and a choice of rice and Miso Soup with Tempura, Chicken Terriyaki or Salmon. A set dinner which worth the price as the food were excellent~!

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 9.5/10

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 7/10

:: His Choice ::

Rice and Miso Soup with Chicken Terriyaki

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8.5/10

Chicken terriyaki will definitely be my FIRST choice of dish if there were no Tempura as I am deeply in love with dishes that served with chicken.

:: My choice ::

Rice and Miso Soup with Tempura

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8.5/10

Oh my gosh, those who followed my blog will definitely know that Tempura, one of the most unhealthy food is my favourite food. However, due to the fact that the prices of tempura were so unworthy to pay for such little amount in Japanese restaurant, I only enjoy tempura in Japanese buffet when I had the opportunity to visit Zipangu. Here is my long waited chance to enjoy my fried prawn, how could I forgive myself if I were to give up on them and go for chicken? Next time la..XD

♥♥♥ I just love this man who sponsored my two lovely nights expenses full-heartedly ♥♥♥

✿ Thanks my mother who bought this cute birthday cake for me, as well as my family members who blessed me with the good old rhythm ~ ✿

Sweet 22nd with My Dreamy Valentine (The First Twilight)

2011-07-03T16:16:00.026+08:00

With the existence of technology experts like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Tim Berners-Lee, Michael Dell and Mark Zuckerburg, children nowadays are blessed with professional devices that will never cause them to bored to death like during my childhood. However, in exchange, they will never experience what is called, A Touch of Nature, since these city kids are surrounded by high-tech accessories and gadgets that only required them to lock themselves in their lonely rooms and communicate with these cold and robotic items. Me, in my 8035th day of my life, although I have been through a roller coaster ride to get to my current status, however, I still reserve many wonderful pieces of childhood lullaby.

On this very day, my sweet dreamy valentine has squeezed his brain to the limit to create another mind-blowing piece of memory to fill up my never ending puzzle board.

Thanks to this year's Father's Day that fell on the same day as my birthday, I do not have the opportunity to celebrate my birthday with him on the actual day itself. In exchange, he promised to spend 2 days with me, along with a special surprise~ sweet~~ ❤❤❤

●▬▬▬▬▬▬● The First Twilight ஜ۩۞۩ஜ The Magnificent Dinner ●▬▬▬▬▬▬●

Here I am, at one of the top 5 best restaurants in Malaysia, Sage restaurant wine and bar.

We had the Gourmet set, which appeared to be the most expensive set among all~ ♡｡◕‿◕｡♡

The complimentary bun~

✿ Chef's special of the day~ ✿

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 9.5/10

This was the platinum plate that made the Gourmet set 20 bucks much more expensive than the Sage set. The taste was awesome!

✿ Appetizer ✿

:: His Choice ::

Consomme of Wagyu Beef with Seasonal Mushrooms

Rating
๑۩۞۩๑
n.a./10

I only tasted a little piece of it as I personally forbid myself from consuming beef.

:: My Choice ::

Home Made Tagliolini Pasta with King Prawn and Spinach

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8/10

This dish is describable in one word, SHIOK! For a person who had thousands of denials towards many types of seafood as well as vegetables like me, is able to gulp those elastic king prawn joyfully even though the fear of allergic will haunt me the next moment it dissolve in my tummy. The pasta was also, magnificently soft and rich with taste. Oh God, I love my honey so much for bringing me there~~~ ♥♥♥

✿ Main Course ✿

:: His Choice ::

Risotto of Mushroom with Duck Foie Gras and Sauce Perigueux

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 6/10

Disappointed.... We were truly disappointed with this choice, or rather, the food did not suite us at all as the risotto of mushroom seemed like rice to us. Most importantly, it was EXTREMELY OILY! Oh my God, how can a top 5 restaurant serve such oily food to customers?

"We should order the chef of this dish to eat it himself and compliment on it!"

This was told by my dear Wilson when he had no choice but to push himself to eat the whole plate of oil of "rice".

* This was initially my choice until I changed my mind at the eleventh hour... I'm so sorry my honey... * T.T

:: My Choice ::

Smoked Duck Breast with Foie Gras and Red Wine Sauce

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8/10

I was blessed to have his choice as I can taste something really delicious. The meat was very tender and it blend well with the sauce. I seriously would rather choose another choice if I knew that he chose this T.T

✿ Dessert ✿

:: His Choice ::

Classic Crepe Suzette with Blood Orange and Grand Marnier Ice Cream

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8/10

The blood orange tasted like cocktail or champagne! Lovely~~~

:: My Choice ::

Belgium Dark Chocolate Fondant with Earl Grey Tea Ice Cream

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8/10

Chocolate desserts are my MUST try desserts whenever I clocked into any high class restaurants as I just love chocolates to the extreme. =)

Mua Surprise Birthday Cake~~

I am wishing upon the stars, hoping that my wish will come true some day~

The man who never fails in his words when he says, "I'll give you the best." I love u, Wilson~~ ❤❤❤❤❤❤

My Pre-Big Day with G4

2011-07-02T09:23:00.007+08:00

Work has split us apart from each other, still we still hoped that we could squeeze some valuable time together, crap about our work, colleagues and companies, so as to each other's personal life. To update each other with our latest news is our primary commitment, in order to avoid receiving outdated news from other paparazzi. G6, is the name of our girl gang. A prove to our friendship~ ♥♥♥

Followed by Karen's birthday, here comes my birthday in June. A perfect reason to have us gather around once again. Wistfully, due to resumed stress from assignments and examinations from a higher level of education, Karen had to close her doors to our invitation. I miss you, Karen!

Yet, the lunch party still goes on as usual with the rest of the members, Liqi, Jean, May and Stephanie at Dragon-i, Mid Valley on 12th June 2011.

A table of 小笼包! ~~ Yummyyyy

Thank you girls for the great outing! However, ironically, sad to say that it ended quite weird due to FaceShop! I am still jubilant although the ending was not successful ~ Love you girls~ ♥♥♥

♪♫ The King and his men,

stole the queen from her bed,

and bound her in her bones,

the seas be ours and by the powers,

where we will we'll roam.

♪♫ Yo-Ho, all hands,

hoist the colours high!

Heave-ho, thieves and beggars,

never shall we die.

♪♫ Now some have died and some are alive,

and others sail on the sea,

with the keys to the cage,

and the devil to pay,

we lay to fiddler's green.

♪♫ Yo-Ho, haul together,

hoist the colours high!

Heave-ho, thieves and beggars,

never shall we die.

♪♫ The bell has been raised,

from its watery grave,

hear its sepulchral tone,

a call to all, pay heed the squall,

and turn your sails to home.

♪♫ Yo-Ho, haul together,

hoist the colours high!

Heave-ho, thieves and beggars,

never shall we die.

Does this song remind you of one of the most celebrated movies in 2007? Yes, it does reminds me of a series of movies, starring one of my favourite male celebrities, Johnny Depp, The Pirates of the Caribbean.

At the same time, the world of pirates also shipped me into the world of One Piece, where the signature pirate song was sung by Brooke, "Yohohoho, Yohohoho, Yohohoho, Yohohoho"~

Even though the movies series supposed to end by 2007 when Jack Sparrow continued his voyage as a free seaman into the endless blue waves, Rob Marshall, the new director decided to continue with the series by releasing the 4th chapter of the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

Why on earth am I talking about the movie anyway?? There must be a reason behind every crap I wrote here~ It is just because I am going to blog about the magnificent pirate ship and scenes that were set in Mid Valley weeks ago ♥♥♥

Captain Jack Sparrow's costume~

Hector Barbossa's costume~

The Day I was...

2011-06-14T21:55:00.006+08:00

10th April 2011, the day I was set free from books, examinations as well as assignments.

10th April 2011, the day I was thrown into the corporate world without any excuses.

10th April 2011, the day I had to say goodbye to my pocket money.

10th April 2011, the day I had to start becoming a real mature woman instead of an immature girl.

10th April 2011, the day I was given the honour to receive the award of my college life.

Here I am, a complete office lady after kissing goodbye to my semester breaks, holidays, pocket money and freedom. Should I be happy or sad? I wonder...

Thanks my dear for being by my side all the time since secondary school~ ♥

Thanks my family for supporting me all the time since I was born~ ♥

Thanks my dear friends who enlighten my college life the moment I met you~ ♥

Thank you so much and I love you all~!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

An Elated Sunday

2011-05-30T22:38:00.006+08:00

After my body and mind is tied to the steel chair and the rundown desktop, I am no longer permit to live my lazy yet relaxing life anymore. A new pathway to a brand new chapter of this stage of life has begun the moment my name is registered as a staff in one of the companies. In other words, I will be tied to obligations, commitments and responsibilities in order to receive my pocket money by the end of the month. Feeling fruitful and energetic to start a new life in the corporate world and start climbing the corporate ladder, am I? I may be still living in my own neverland, trying my best not to grow older to accept these trials and thorns of life in order to get to my bed of roses. Life is never fair and easy for a newbie, even though I still need to start off as a white paper and experience every possible events and choose the colour of the life that I want to live in.

Blah. I am still going to blog about my blissful Sunday lunch with my sweet dear and his family at Shangri-la Hotel. The more I work, the slimmer the chance for me to get in touch with my dear during the weekdays. Therefore, weekends is the most valuable time I have left to spend with him. What a sad OL I am. T.T

At Zipangu, a huge table for 14 people was reserved for the 11 of us. Never had I have a chance to enjoy my food in such luxurious atmosphere as the table was decorated with such refining decorations.

Even though previously Japan sent out alerts about its sea creatures to its 'business friends' around, Sakae Sushi, Sushi Zanmai and many other Japanese restaurants are still packed with humans that do not give a damn to the nuclear warnings! Well, who cares when they wanted to be fed with some sushi instead of rice and pasta.

Here I am, enjoying one of the most expensive Japanese restaurants in KL, serving among the finest Japanese buffet here in Shangri-la Hotel. I just loved my TEMPURA, although it is not healthy at all.

I loved their macaroons and green tea ice creams~~~ they are just simply fabulous as compared to Lemon Garden's desserts. However, it took them too long just to serve us 5 scoops of ice creams in 2 bowls. I wonder where they went to fetch the ice cream anyway??

Thanks to dear's parents, I had a stomach full of my favourite Japanese food and dessert. Thanks to dear too for bringing me over to join the family lunch. I love the lunch very much~ ❤

Fong Lye 逢莱茶房~ Sunway Pyramid ☆

2011-05-15T21:36:00.009+08:00

What to eat? Again, the same old question is popped between us during our sweet shopping hour. Sadly after I started working since 2 weeks ago, the times for us to have lunch together have obviously reduced, so as to the times we are allowed to meet each other. What can I do to avoid this stage of life, which is working? Marry to a rich man? Nah, I would definitely not prefer that option as I would not choose to become a useless housewife who will only do the same old chores everyday while waiting for my husband to return from work, which might be in the middle of the night. Being locked in a platinum cage is far worser than being forced to work for your living. Why I say so? Would you choose to have no choice but to accept your husband's love affairs as you are sucking his income for your living? Or would rather work for your own living and have the freedom to leave any man who breaks your heart? Be a wonderful and desired woman, then beautify your forest, but at the same time, be loyal to your one and only man at the moment~

What am I lecturing about?! I suppose to talk about food here! Now, allow me to straight to the point. During our limited outings, we finally decided to hit other restaurants other than our preferred restaurant. Before we headed for our usual second choice which is Dragon-i, the existence of Fong Lye seemed flashier and it alerted me to choose it over Dragon-i. Here I come, Fong Lye.

I seriously wonder, why is this restaurant always full house? It was like Sushi Zanmai and Sakae Sushi. I can understand most of the Malaysia love dishes that comes with a big bowl of rice and that is probably the reason this Taiwanese restaurant is always packed with people who loved Chinese cuisine set meals as they are way cheaper than restaurants that you have to order plates of dishes to decorate your bowl of white rice. However, after the Tsunami and earthquake case in Japan, why is the human flows in Japanese restaurants still ongoing? I wonder...

My choice ::

Taiwan Chicken Chop Rice Set Meal (台湾鸡哌饭套餐) RM19.80

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8/10

I loved the fact that the chicken chop is so huge~ Mouth watering~~~ Besides, I loved the tiny side dishes as well as the amount is just nice for my stomach as I am so busy dieting after having forced to sit in front of the computer every single after lunch during work. =.=

Dear's Choice ::

Spare Ribs Set Meal （红糟排骨便当套餐）RM 19.80

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8/10

Even though it was labeled as 'spare ribs', which is pork, I do not seem to find the difference between this pork meat and my chicken meat. It is probably due to my lack of taste sense since I normally would notice the problem of the food after I have stuffed everything into my stomach. Food poisoning would visit me one day if I continue to be so SLOW. =.=

Thanks alot dear for the food again for the day~ PS., I will never use my ipod to take photos anymore it does not have the focusing function, plus the taken photos are very blurry T.T.. I hope to learn how to snap good photos as soon as possible to fulfill my desire~ ^^

First Debut~ into the GamBLinG woRLD

2011-04-30T21:17:00.010+08:00

Security guard: Miss, please step aside and show me your identity card.

Me: *shows*

Security guard: *stared at my ic for a while*

Me: I'm already 22 years old! *not underage anymore even though I'm growing old!*

This was my encounter when I first enter the gambling world, the world of money pot luck, the world of despair or ecstasy, a place named Casino.

What a funny couple we are. Out of a sudden, dear proposed to have a one-day trip to Genting Highland for entertainment purpose as well as the fact to enjoy his upcoming semester break. Since we had driving license, travelling up to Genting Highlands by public transports were the last resort as we will definitely feel ill throughout the way. It's been 2 years since we visit the cold mountains as we got fed up with the boring child's play so as to the fact that we could not enter the casino due to underage. Well, apparently, this trip is obviously planned for us to stuff some pocket money into our wallets~

The weather was rather sunny and the temperature was quite warm even though we are on the mountains. All thanks to dear's grandmother, we had a very heavy and expensive lunch that day at Genting Palace Restaurant~

It was a set lunch named, Standard Abalone Set Menu.

Braised Dried Scallop & Seafood Pottage (浓味瑶柱海味扇贝)

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8.5/10

I thought this was supposed to be shark fin soup? At least, this was not a bad choice since I tried to sip until the last drop but stopped as I wanted to keep my stomach emptied until the next few dishes~

Braised Australian Whole Abalone with Garden Green (红烧原只澳洲鲍)

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8/10

Wooo.. this is the first time I ever eaten such large abalone. Wooo... the meat was full of elastic and the sauce was tremendous! I wonder what they used to make this sauce. Chefs, make me a few bottles of this sauce to bring home!

Stir-Fried Minced Ostrich Meat & Vegetable Cube in Golden Cup (金杯菜粒鸵鸟松)

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8.5/10

Oh my God, sorry for eating meat other than chicken, pork, duck and fish. I am guilty to stuck you into my stomach and actually felt that you are quite delicious due to the mixture of peanuts, vegetables as well as the golden flower cup! >0<

Sauteed Seasonal Vegetable with Garlic (蒜耳炒时蔬)

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 7/10

The color of the vegetable was the highlight of this dish, so as to the taste although I personally is not a vegetable person. It drove me to pick a few more pieces into my plate and enjoy the crisps.

Fried Five Cereals with Assorted Seafood (五谷海鲜炒饭)

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 6/10

It was just some normal fried rice and it should not be added into this expensive and exclusive set lunch.

Chilled Water Chestnut Cream in Lemon Flavor (香柠马蹄露)

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 7.5/10

The overall taste just quite refreshing for a dessert but I somehow do not get to like this afterall. I hoped it to be a chocolate cake or ice cream. XD

Additional dish

Roasted Chicken

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 5/10

Other than the delicious crispy skin and the few pieces of 'keropok', the meat was as hard as a stone! I find it difficult to chew the failure chicken dish and it turned my appetite down =.=

What a wonderful and exciting day trip I had with my dear~ I hope to travel up to Genting Highland again with dear like this~ Sad... although my opportunities are very limited since I will be starting work now. =.= However, I will earn more stable income this way and will have excess money to buy time to travel with my sweet dear next time~ ^^

It is Chatime! 日出茶太~

2011-04-20T21:27:00.008+08:00

ve you heard about a famous Taiwanese beverage brand named, Chatime (日出茶太)? Have you ever drank any bubble tea in any other shops where you can still bite and taste the black pearls until the last drop of your drink? I dare not doubt your experiences but I never drank any bubble tea that contain THAT much of black pearls within the drink before. This is my very first time enjoying my bites of the black pearls until I have the urge of adding more tea to transfer the remaining blackies into my stomach~

Look at the queue! It did not exist the moment we arrive at the shop~ Perhaps we were the one who brought customers to them since everytime we stepped into an empty shop, the crowd will appear in split seconds! We are their "maneki-neko"~*

Our Choice of the day~

Premium Pearl Milk Tea RM 6.90

Rating ๑۩۞۩๑ 8.5/10

Overall the taste was quite normal, but their main attraction was still the huge amount of black pearls within the tea~ Bravo~ I still biting those pearls until I finish the tea~ ^^v

Their only problem was the numbering system. Since their seatings were centered behind the shop, they should have added another digital numbering machine which is visible from behind of the shop so customers could rest, take their seats while waiting for their turn to collect their beverage. I hope to see improvements the next time I visit them again, which will be A LONG TIME later~

Since The Day We Promised to Each Other

2011-04-17T13:59:00.004+08:00

Anniversary Forward this Picture

It is our 2,556th day, the 7th promised year since the two of us become one. Many sorrowful and joyful tears have we shed for these years for various reasons. We have underwent the experiences of almost losing each other during the rocky voyage. Yet, our hearts were bond to each other, so strongly until they could melt into one single soul. Many times have they broken into pieces when there were black swans which vacuumed them into the hole of darkness, forcing them to split into their usual forms and never to reunite again. Nevertheless, we been through all the pain and happiness together and now here we are, looking into each other's eyes, seeing each other's selfs and smiling gracefully to each other.
