TF Jaya33 Grand Opening

16 Aug 2007

Went for the press conference for opening new TF branch - Jaya33. Suppose I was in the demo team but I was dropped from it. I am ok with it but just upset with someone that never thought of others feeling of what he has done. Anyway I was on MC that day but I still go to check out mainly Capoeira performance. Never regret I went even I was not that feeling well (I was drowsy and felt floating the whole day..think effect from medicine). Great performance they had as well as Jam chicks but not the dude. I'm glad to meet TF boss and his wife. The wife so damn cun...tall...nice body figure...pretty...and friendly smile :)...The boss also smart and handsome. Nice couple. Went check out the spa and swimming pool as well. Cool! Must try it one day...got manicure pedicure service some more. donno instructor got discount not :p

After the event went coffee bean yum char as usual...then continue makan from the buffet TF provided. hehe do nothing but can eat for free :p paiseh. Same night I gotta teach jam at Taipan. So wanted to have someone replace...but too bad...no one. Have to do it my own. Lucky I managed to teach one whole class...after sweat made me feel better.

Expensive Lunch

This whole week almost had good lunch at good restaurant. And also dinner as well. Too much good food...fat...and poorer already. :(

Today went to Paddington Pancake House for lunch. 20+ per meal for myself. The food nice but too much for lunch. sigh...few days ago went to Carl's Jr. with another colleague. At first thought we share the chicken sandwich but then not enough...it is really junior size. So we bought another type of burger. Total RM17 each person....wa wa wa....since join new job and meal expenses shoot up very high! :(

OK although Carl's Jr. is expensive but I felt satisfaction and worth la. They are not like those other fast food...will make you feel that you will get fat eating it. But it is not to me at least. We first ordered Charbroiled Chicken Club Sandwich...its superb nice when you taste first bite! The bread is brown whole meal bread. It's soft and fresh some more. The chicken is breast chicken and not oily at all. The sauce is nice. With lettuces and tomatoes. To me is more healthier than others fast food and more delicious. Even their fries also crispy, no salt...u can add ur own salt and pepper. Will go back again to try out something else...Their menu looks delicious. The prices no tax. Fix on what you see on menu. They sell others such as ice cream, milkshake, salads, desserts, beef burger, mushroom burger, chicken sandwich, fish n chips etc etc.

You can try and see will you fall in love with it? I am loving it now but too expensive to have it so often. It's located at 1U old wing near Jusco supermarket next to chicken rice shop. go try! hehe

Here the pics taken this afternoon at paddington of what we had. Mine is bottom right.

Empress Cafe

Just now had dinner again with Fanny and Julie @ Empress Cafe The Curve...the restaurant is just opposite Laundry. First time trying. Good impression about their food :D Their food mainly local and western. Interesting interior, cozy, service ok, drinks good. Before your food served they give everyone an appetizer for free. Let me show you the food we had.

These are the appetizer...from left...tuna bun, chicken salad, stuff mushroom...all taste good.

Here the main course we had...julie had kind of chicken with rice (forgot the name) and the right one which I had is chicken pie. Both I give thumbs up! Fanny had prawn fried rice and really with lots of prawns. And my pie filling a lot...mushrooms and chicken a lot and the gravy superb. Give a try if you are there :) Recommended yoh. Will go back again to try other food. Overall their food all are nice.


After dinner a friend said go for a drink at Laundry. I didn't drink alcohol...just had grape shake. After a cup and say hi to old friends there...the bar tender, the manager, and the dj....then I left.

One more thing...before I stopped here. Found my watch...picked by cleaner and she returned to my friend collected for me. yippiee....lately a lot lost and found huh :p hope won't be so big head prawn next time *finger cross* :D

niteeee ;)

Careless

These few days I find myself so careless...super blur...tend to loose something important to me. First is forget take back the ATM card. Then tonite just now after wave class I donno did I take the watch or drop some where while holding it. Went back checked but didn't find at all. wa wa wa :'( wanna cry liao. It has sentimental value neh...it was my last year birthday present given by close buddies leh...so sorry guys :(

I have no watch now...all crystal made watches I have out of batteries...gotta go fix them tomorrow! sigh

Just Heavenly

Today received a call from bank informing that I've left my ATM card at their branch. goshhh...then only I realised I did! It happened on last Sunday and today I just got to know about how careless am I. Lucky the card remain at the branch and no discrepancy happened. phew. So I went collect the card after lunch.

This pastry shop Just Heavenly just opposite the bank and Bukit Damansara. So after collected my card of course I went over to get what I wanted to try since Sunday. hehe. got 6 of the cream puff (it actually has a name but I can't remember), 1 durian choc cake and 1 choc n cheese cake. The cream puff recommended and you need to order to get it. you may try your luck to get on the spot but might can't get. lucky me today still got there. I tried the durian cake after tea time at office...gosh...the filing so full of durian (is like a biji of durian)...and guess wat...whole office smell durian! lucky no one scold...we cant eat food which has strong smell in office neh...next time don dare. the choc n cheese cake so so la...wanted to try others but not this time.

Here the pictures of what I bought. Wan to know the location ask me la :D

Top left thumbs up! The durian also recommended...can see the durian...whole big piece leh

Tea Time

Sunday...was a lazy day. Due to not enough rest from past 2 nites I was so tired and reluctant to teach class. In the end still force myself go lor...who knows no member at all :( came so far all the way but no member...so the class has to cancel. Feel demotivated by such situation...worry it will happen like this always...I hope not...finger cross. Because of tiring and demotivation so no mood on that day. End up call the two siao poh out yum char. I feel like having cakes and pastry that Fanny told me (tried the cream puff she bought on the souled out night). The pastry was so delicious...feel like trying again. But no luck...sunday the shop not open. But we still go to the opposite cafe cum restaurant...I think the name is Chef & Brew?? not sure la. before I intro this cafe I wanna intro the pastry shop...can see the pic of me the shop behind? it is the pastry shop call Just Heavenly. Think it is famous. Lots of ppl know about it. One day I sure will go again to try all the types of pastry.

OK back to the restaurant...the environment nice...quiet due to weekend less ppl...nice sofas hehe. sitting outside and lazying on the couch so enjoyable. The drink was nice and the food also nice. Price not pricy at all. By the way the menu too many until I've took long time to decide what to order hehe.

Wanna intro the food a little bit...sausage wrap with bacon very delicious. caesar salad so so only...I will always try caesar salad when I go any restaurant...like it. My favourite also, mashed potatoes! very nice here...smooth...with brown sauce. the sausage only RM5.90...mashed potatoes only RM3.90 leh...can come again to try other food...esp the pastry opposite door! Can bring the pastry into this restaurant one....anyone wanna go? hehe

Singapore Shopping

Last Monday went out Souled Out dinner with the girls and they ask me go SG shopping together...I was sum yuk yuk and they keep persuade me. Since I got no class on Saturday and free so decided to go with them. Initially planned 3 girls take turn drive...then another guy said wanna join us and we thought happy got guy help drive. Who knows last minute he got urgent errands and can't go with us. End up just 3 of us.

On Saturday I woke up at 6ish am...so sleepy neh...slept at 2am on friday nite. About 7ish Fanny & Julie came pick me up and we started our journey. Left Sg. besi toll around 8am...first was Fanny driving, when around Melaka change to Julie. She was so excited. She just took her license 2 weeks ago and started driving. Her first time drive on highway and she is so happy. Who said new driver always slow? She is not! I tell u. She is really a F1 driver yoh...max speed she can drive up to 170kmph! damn keng. I took over before to Tuas checkpoint. I'm more familiar with Singapore road so I am the one drive in there. Frankly, it was my first time drive in SG. Used to not me driving due to I'm Singapore PR and can't drive malaysia car in. Excited also hehe...lucky I still know the road roughly...We reached SG and parked our car almost 12 noon. The parking where we park cheap...is SGD2 per entry and we just park there for whole day and walk around by taking MRT. Good plan! hehe Some more the parking near Bugis and Suntec.

We started our shopping spree at Bugis. But we had our lunch first at Mos Burger. Nice...too bad KL one closed down. We started buy things in Bugis..like shoes la...clothes la...and I also bought something special and nice for a friend ;) Julie met up with her ex colleague, Mei Kuan and her husband, Mike. Both of them bring us to Orchard from Bugis. Before we left Bugis on the way to MRT we had this ice cream...recommended by Mei Kuan . 3 of us tried green tea taste and it was really really nice!! however is SGD4 each la...quite pricy. But nice!! I also bought a pack of tako pochi each of us had one ball :p I used to like to go Bugis cos there many things can buy and the Bugis MRT stations lots of such nice nice food. yummy...next time will get the ice cream again. alamak...now tot of it feel hungry also.

This is the ice cream stall - Uzumaki. They sell many flavour...got wasabi one...the green tea we tried very nice. Not sweet at all. can see 3 soh poh so pai seh stand infront of the stall take pics. Imagine a lot ppl walk pass leh.


After Bugis then went to Orchard. Shopped at Isetan and bought a dress and necklace both in green. hehe. started like green just like my friend crazy about it. donno is it influence by them?? hmmm...but I do like the green that I bought la...nice! I still havent finish shop at orchard then they said gotta go for dinner. Because they said no place after 7pm and lots of ppl. so we left 5ish from orchard road to Sommerset. The restaurant we went is Jap restaurant and heard quite a lot ppl going. By 6pm we reached there.

The restaurant name is Waraku located at Starhub center building. they served nice jap food leh. cheap also. We ordered set with udon/soba soup and rice for SGD13-15 range. I had sashimi set and soba soup. The soup nice. The rice also nice! The rest had Pork fillet set same with soba/udon soup. Fanny had Nato rice. All taste good.


After dinner we walk back to orchard continue shopping. I went in Daniel Yam and bought a nice lovely dress...simple and elegant. My friends so like it. At first saw it but I didn't get it a try instead trying others. But didn't get what I like after tried on. Then later others dropped by and asked me try that dress...so I give a try and immediately like it :D lucky found something I like if not my mission won't complete. My mission to SG this round is to buy Charles & Keith shoe, annual dinner dress and birthday present for the main purpose. And I did completed my list and bought extra one tim...hahaha. 3 of us end up bought a lot. Myself also spent quite a lot :p sei lor...pok kai after the trip :D

After shopped then we sat at starbucks for a cup of drink to rest our legs. But we don't feel tired and still wanna shop leh...however shops closed. So not satisfy cos not enough buying :D. we plan to go again. Both of them blame me not because I got class on Sunday we can stay over night. But they just say say only la...we planned just a day trip then it is. May be next round over night. But lucky just a day...if not I can even spend more. phewww

Anyway wanna thanks to Mei Kuan and Mike company us around for whole day and they are nice enough to bring us makan makan and shop with us. After drink we took cab to the parking building. Before start driving went to toilet. But I got hurt my last finger :(( deep wound...part of the skin n flesh came out. I was so careless...when flush the time the metal thing clip on my fingers and immediately the flesh came out. Start bleeding and I quickly wash with water. Can't stop bleeing even dry with tissue...lucky Julie got plaster...she is the first aid kit leh. Thank god :p It was pain but gotta stand the pain mar.

Show you my wound...left with hello kitty plaster..subsidy by julie hehe...the right one is after take off the plaster...my skin bcome whitish and the wound still bleeding a bit...red red. Now no more blood but like a hole deep inside. Pain when touch it *ouchhh*


We left SG around 11:30pm. And I was the one drive out from SG to Tuas checkpoint. I was so tired but keep myself awake and drive half way on the highway. Changed driver after an hour driving. Fanny was the one drove all the way back to KL. Lucky she is still ok. I was trying to sleep at the back seat but can't sleep well. The car too bouncy. We reached KL about 3am. Just like we went clubbing like that. haha.

I had a great fun day although tired. But long time no fun like this. Especially shop till we dropped :p Looking forward for another one ;) Thumbs up!

Down

As now I'm still feeling down because from the review with my boss today. I have difficulty at work and hard to pick up skills. Details I don't wish to say it. I just wish I can skill up fast with my best. Been trying hard or may be not enough yet. If not I'll be in danger... :(

I need huggzzzz....need supports....everything right now...need to be tough and capable to take challenges now...but I did cry for my weaknesses :(

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 ;)
