Eye On Malaysia

Last Sunday was my busy day. Taught 2 Jam classes and joined 1 Capoeira class. Then had dinner with friends at kepong crab...one of the friend came here visit from New Zealand...I knew him thru my girl friend when I was working in Singapore...it was like 6+ years ago? Can't remember....so we didn't meet also about that long. Now he and my friend pak toh already hehe...that's why come here holiday. Distance relationship but still can maintain well. not bad huh.

4 of us had 2 types of crabs, 1 vege, 1 fish fillet, 1 ha gou, 1 prawn, man tou...quite a lot but lucky all small portions. didn't bother to take pics as I've taken last time. After dinner thought of go home since I'm pretty tired...but friends keep asking me join them to Titiwangsa try the ferris wheel...ok lor...since this friend came all the way and long time no see...then mar join them.

It was my first time try the Eye On Malaysia leh...last time always said wanna try but never bother to try...now at last tried once before it ended in september. The ride is RM15 per person for 25 minutes...ok lah...just see some views from high...it took 5 rounds to complete the ride. A bit boring also for such long time and just sitting inside do nothing.

The view there nice. Can see twin towers, KL tower, the ferris wheel, the color fountain all together. I tried to take pic with my camera but I donno how...just show some best shot from mine...while waiting my friend's one from his SLR camera lah :p


4 of us - Carine, me, Samantha and William


Twin Towers - Took my friend over to KLCC to take the best shot...


In the end of the day I was home at 12ish...superb tired for went out more than half a day and also tired from 3 classes in the day (also 2 classes from Saturday + slept late) :p

The Apartment

Friday went to have dinner at this new restaurant at The Curve - the apartment. It opened just on Sunday...so fairly new when we tried out this place. Overall comment, the food so so only, the service ok la...but the waiters still need more experience, the decor...hmmm really like an apartment but i felt weird...not so comfortable sitting inside.

Let me show you some photos...
we had about the same food but the pic taken not nice...their recommended dishes are Baked Fish, Chicken In a Bag, Duck Mango Salad which we tried. I don't like the salad, the fish and chicken still ok. Here the desserts pic....

the drinks are mine...left one is so called lemonade but not as what I'm expected...it just like normal soda drink add a lemon...so lucky I bumped into a bar tender knew from Laundry and he is temporary working in Apartment to train others. So he recommened what's nice in the menu and I complaint about the drink...so he made another drink for me (which on the right) for free :D....the drink was nice...Rum + kiwi + passion + donno wat else...his own recipe called Maui something...lucky me :p...the strawberry parfuit special...it tasted like "ding ding tong" but a bit too sweet...I like the backed choc pudding the most...

Here some part of the decoration....basically it has living hall, dining area, bar, shower room, balcony, 2nd living hall, kitchen and loft...the furnitures different in each area....even got day bed, some even need to eat on the coffee table. We sat at the main dining table which is quite a big table for 6 of us.


the group pic...most of us from vialentino community....we once a while hang out for dinner or special occassion only have bigger group gathering...

Sunday

Rainy day...especially afternoon and is my class time...I've expected no member and it is real. Well better still...I'm quite tired and not feeling well. Take a rest but not really rest...practiced my own and try to do some Capoeira moves. Hurt my leg from the practice (it's already hurt since few days ago)... After my class was suppose Capoeira and the instructor late. But the class still on at another studio which no class on Sunday. Due to my leg pain and kind of tired so I just join to see others doing. I'm a bit worry to join Capoeira now is because I can't do certain move especially cart wheel, hand stand, head stand...for those mostly use arm strength and core. which I'm weak on :( I was trying to practice but failed :(( how only can improve?

Went to Curve for Su Lin's birthday dinner. We dined at La Gourmet. The food there not bad. The birthday gal very happy :D We had a great dinner and great laugh. Since long no such gathering and kepoh kepoh. Since ever I quitted FF some of them I seldom meet anymore. Miss them and the moment we always hang out last time. Taken many photos and waiting them then will post here :)

Getting late night now..time to sleep...is hard for me to get time to update blog and I will try to update as much as I can...during work can't update and every night after gym already tired and sometimes didn't thought of update it :p Sometimes a lot of things missed to update here... I will try not to :)

Lately I had lots of stress from work...not doing well...moody sometimes but I will be fine. :)

Karaoke & 'Pun Choi'

Saturday was a busy day for me. First the day start with Karaoke from 1pm - 4pm with my old school friends. Had lunch there and sing. I didn't sing much as others good at singing better than me :) They all K kaki la...only 5 of us and suppose got more to join however they are busy. Hope next round will have more gather together.

Here the photos taken during K... Li San, Carine, Kelvin, me & Kopi :)


After K went to 1U Esprit look look see see...why? because the voucher is back!! Some of you may not know...my friend got voucher from Esprit which can get 40% on normal item and 40% on top of sales item. But this time round I didn't get anything...save money and nothing suitable. But earlier round we had 50% voucher and bought a lot :p Hope it will have again and will see what can buy next round :p

This time I didn't stay long from the shopping which used to do. I gotta rush to KL Low Yat for 'Pun Choi' 盘菜 ... first time trying it and not bad wor...30+ per person but we got more 12 ppl for 8 persons dish...end up pay cheaper than tat. One thing I must promote is their mango sago dessert delicious! different from where I had some where. yum yum :D

After dinner we proceed to Jalan Alor chicken wings...some monsters not full wor....I love chicken wings but just had one...really too full for me :S....during the time we did something funny and was first time doing it...which is mass sms and missed call!!! hahaha...what's that? because one of us who is Harry Potter fan don't wan join us and stay at home to read the book. So we wanted to kacau him a bit...all send the same sms "who died?" twice and 1 missed call to him!! but then he never reply leh....until next day only reply the end story after finished reading. So now sort of know the result...no need read liao hehehe.

Our night not end yet from chicken wings! They still want coffee wor....then proceed to OLE Cafe. Quite nice place and we have whole top floor specially open for us....I drink Iced Mint Choc..nice. We played Pictionary which my first time playing it. My team lost ... because the opponent team too strong :p. superb tired day after a long day out. But it was fun to enjoy the day...since a long time no hang out with friends... (betul ke?) :p

Waiting for the photos................fast fast the camera owner!!

Durian Feast

On Friday IBM has a fruit party around 5:30pm - 7pm. The fruit party provides durians, mangosteen and rambutans. Can see around that time all staffs go to the location located outside of the building an empty space to try durians for free! Me and my team mates go down around 6 and already many of them eaten or eating around the area. Saw a big lorry and with many buckets of those fruits... I had lots of biji of durians, mangosteen and rambutans until lost count..hiak...It was my dinner on that night. I really ate the durians till feel like vomitting then only stop :p...nice to have durians again since long. some more for free flow :D not bad and first experience such benefit from company :)

Alive

I'm sorry to my readers that I didn't update my blog for long long time...think it's the longest time I didn't update here :p...friends around are asking why no update...

I've been busy with new job and teaching classes for past one month. Seem that 24 hours a day not enought for me...too busy on my schedule till lack of time to sleep also :p Although now I have no mood to write but still gotta do some update before it drag longer...

Where should I start to update?? May be start with work. So far still ok with work. Trying very hard to pick up lots of lots of skills required. However no matter how I do is hard for me to catch up with my teammates where they have more than 6 years experiences and background of IBM products and me none. I gotta work harder than anyone else. I feel that lots of things come to me which I can't concentrate at all yet you still need to do it. Quite lots of pressure. Besides, By end of this year I need to have 2 certification done which required. 2 certification in a year for my team. Need to study a lot and mean time u need to do the job u suppose to do also meet up partners. Really killing :(. Conclusion, work in here u gotta do lots of study either related to ur job skill or other skills as well...u gotta do more than u suppose need to do! That's the competitions and expectations high which drive me crazy.... sigh...

Got to know some more new friends at work...different lunch buddies...however I felt in IBM no friends and just colleagues....will c later if it is true? May be everyone busy with their work and no time to have after work life...so do i :p

Gym...do my permanent classes and cover other classes especially body jam a lot. Besides I also did a demo for a friend favor for a kind of home workout product launch. Had a roadshow on one of the weekend and me n other 2 instructor do the demo. Quite a good money and fun job :) Nowadays I try to do more classes as much as I can to earn more :p...

Besides these both...I do hang out with friends but most are gym friends and went for few movies and makan-makan also. Can say last month I did fill up all my time with full of events. Fruitfull days...

Sometimes will feel tired but always a sacrifies for something you are looking for...that's life :)

Today I need to complain again! always something bad to me one...ish ish...just now went for class and before reaching got speed trap and kena summon!! And the car speed meter spoiled few days ago...havent fix...wat a bad sunday...grrrr

Capoeira

Capoeira is a fun-filled and dynamic workout class that lets you tone your body by combining martial arts, dance, cardio and funky Brazilian music – all in one class.

Lately I'm into this Capoeira...it just newly introduced at TF and I will try my best to join all Capoeira classes as I can :p Cool dance and I really love it. Also because the instructors are good and leng chai la :p hehehe....So far I've joined the classes conducted by 5 of them and I find all of them are really really good! I'm still beginner ... lots of difficult moves still cant do...hopefully one day can be like them.

To me Capoeira really need flexibility a lot...and strong cores and back. It really stretch alot.. work on whole body muscles...if the core strong then u can do a lot of things. And this dance really need upside down which I'm so scare of. a lot of turning up and down...stretch body around and so on...not easy to learn but it is good and fun. Love the musics especially.

More Capoeira info can get from here. Those instructors are trained from Bantus. Try it yourself if you can ;)
