Carrefour outing ?!

A normal lunch date today turned out to be much more than I've expected. After fetching my mom to treatment, went on to meet up with kc for lunch at 3pm. Yeah I know it's more like tea-time but my internal clock is messed up @.@ After lunch and chit-chatting suddenly kc wanted to go carrefour. I thought it was just normal clothes shopping or just plain walking around but we realized it too late. She went sundry shopping / marketing. I was already tired from driving my mom and well you know, it's just after eating you know ... people gets sleepy. So there we were going through aisle after aisle looking for shampoos, facial washes, softeners .. and the list goes on.

Btw, she is just doing this randomly without any shopping list of some sort ? Imagine the agony I have to go through =\ Well, manage to slip in a bit of fun I suppose, when we reached the fruits and vegetables section !


Well, for this one it's a tribute to menwai. His msn personal message right now is written as green apple referring to perhaps the DKNY perfume Be Delicious (green apple) =\ A gift maybe for the special someone on this coming festive season? (I don't remember you bringing us anything before you know). I hope he is reading this and well dear friend, we have something better for u ..... THE REAL THING

.
.

green apple anyone ?

Next stop is the tomato section. Well, I just NEED to take a picture when there is so many of them and from Holland too haha. Too bad we didn't get the whole area as there is too many people walking around =////= we are shy people you know.

took these instead !

Definitely we are not letting kc go that easily .. for those who don't know, kc or the food ambassador girl have a nickname during secondary school which is potato so here she is. *sigh* Why is she promoting food again btw? *shrugs*

tadaa !!~

Not forgetting also, our wonderful friend and companion .. who left us alone when we are queuing up for the cashiers is the tall boy wiseguy (or so he claim =P)

erm .. seriously i don't know what he is holding.

Muahaha, so now that each of us have our own vegetable mascot .. I'm pleased ! =\ It was a fun day after all. Glad to have such sporting friends =D Let's do it again sometime but this time, a REAL WET MARKET maybe ? XD

Cuti - Cuti Malaysia

Haven't been on a trip for AGES really. The furthest I've been before this trip was .. Petaling Jaya ? =.= *sigh* Well, to start off my uncle invited me to join his family and friends on a 3 days 2 nights trip to Penang Island. Didn't really looked forward to the trip that much but I said yes anyway as I thought I might be able to spend some time with my sister and family. Only to know last minute she is not going as she is going to a concert. A friend of mine once said that trying something that you find uninteresting once in awhile makes you realize things that you won't expect. A leap of faith of some sorts i guess. So I decided to go along and my uncle asked me to get ready by 6am. Due to my bed time being 3am nowadays I painstakingly agreed. BUT ...

=.= they are late !!

they were late for half an hour ?! I got up at 5 something in the morning for NOTHING and without breakfast for god's sake. Even after i took that they haven't arrived. Zzz

Well, they arrived finally and we got going and then comes surprise no. 1. They said they are going to go to Teluk Intan to pick up some friends (Auntie Jane). It is my father's and uncle's hometown btw and it's been forever since I've visited that place so it was a pleasant surprise ! Hui Chin (my hostel mate) is from there so we met up ! Luckily for me that she was in town during that time .. Ahh fate !~ Haha. Well, from the excitement of meeting her. I forgot to bring out my camera >.> but here is the leaning tower of the East which I got (which is better than pics with her =P)
anson's own clocktower

I even went inside and went up ! It's really scary though. I'm not afraid of heights really ! But the tilting =.= All my cousins laughed at me. Honestly it's scary, especially when u reach the highest spot. But the insides of the tower is really nice though. I loved the winding staircase ^^

.
.

it is scary !

So after all this and breakfast, which I've forgot to take pics =\ too hungry. We picked up his friends which came from New Zealand for holiday. Her children's English is just so beautifully spoken. It's like listening to a radio talkshow =P We made another stop at Ipoh to fetch another family and for lunch so we arrive at the grand total of 19 people for the trip ! Bought something for snack on the way to Penang. Lotus seeds ! Call me "ulu" or "city boy" but seriously this is the first time I ever ate them. It's nice though if u eat too many it makes your mouth dry =.=

behold the green eye monster !

it actually looks like this

u break the shower head thing and bring out those "eyes" =\

peel off the green shrek-skin and then you can eat it ! =P
Thats what I do when I have too much time on my hands =\ The drive was looonnnggggg and the radio isn't working *sigh* I guess I fell asleep halfway as when I woke up it's suddenly Penang Bridge !

penang bridge !!
cousin sis messing around in the car =P

After the long journey, we finally reached Penang at 6.30pm =.= 12 hours of traveling. We are staying at the Bayview Hotel at Batu Ferringgi. It's by the beach ^^ didn't really thought that I would be able to go to a beach this year =D sounds of the waves are ever so soothing especially at night. Another one of the items in my wishlist crossed out =D Well, as for the hotel. It looks great. Nice lobby, rooms and not forgetting the view !

the lobby

the view

Once we've showered and stuff, it's time for dinner ! Now come surprise no. 2 as my uncle asked me to drive one of the cars as we move around town. o.O I was truly shocked. It's a Honda CRV and I've never tried driving anything larger than my Nissan Sentra before. Thats what I called trust man. =\ We had a quick dinner at one of the restaurants nearby as it is late and everyone is tired, we didn't go to town as we have wanted. Instead, we went on to the local "pasar malam" or night market nearby. Honestly, this wasn't what I had in mind. I didn't want to go around bumping around people when I'm already tired and here at KL we have our own night markets too but the idea of expect the unexpected came to me again (it was what brought me to this trip in the first place) and truly found a nice stall seeling lamps. I just have to share them !

glowing lights .. reminds me of christmas *sigh

warm glowing lamps

group pic before sleeping =D

See ? Told u they were nice ! =P It's a nice glowing stall amongst other regular ones =P And then we went back to the hotel for group photo and the nice beach stroll I was looking forward to ^^ except when some dogs came by and spoil it =.= scared my cousins off and thus we head back to our rooms. The sounds of the waves and the cooling sea breeze is ever so soothing es. Thought of finally having some shut-eye and end up having to wait till 1am as my cousins watched a cartoon movie on Disney Channel. Owh gawd.

We woke up bright and early the next morning as the kids wanted to play at the pool before leaving. Some camera battles and mango-eating later and we are off to tour Penang Island before we go to our next stop Ipoh. (due to some unforeseen problem, we have to change our plan and stay in Ipoh for day 2 now THATS what you call cuti cuti Malaysia)

nikon vs sony erricson

mango bought as snacks on the way. man they are healthy people !

We went to the usual places, Kek Lok Si, the botanical gardens. We went to the botanical gardens to look at monkeys. As if the monkeys at UM were not enough! =P but it seems that in New Zealand there isn't much monkeys. And there is no snakes and lizards ! (good news for someone I know. If she is reading anyway =D) One place caught my eye though, which is the Air Itam dam. It's a beautiful place where it's very serene and filled with tress and the dam's water is calm and clear. It's on top of a hill too which is like KL's version of "little Genting" =D
kek lok si. the main building has a huge chamber in it which places the buddha statues. it's calming and relaxing already just standing there
kek lok si

lo behold view point air itam haha

just look at the view weh! can't imagine how would it look like at night =D

group pic before we leave

air itam dam

the family that i went with at the dam

botanical gardens. and no i didn't take pictures of the monkey =P

After all that, we went down to Air Itam for some of it's famous Asam Laksa ! The taste is just special. Really can't find another one like it. This is the place where I had my first asam laksa. There was no going back ever since. =P btw the sugarcane is really nice too. It's really neat with no sugar added. They prepare it for you right in front of your eyes. It's sweet enough just with that alone.
asam laksa !

crispy popiah

It was late then, we left Penang Island by ferry and after dinner it's on to Ipoh. Here comes surprise no. 3 I'm suppose to drive to Ipoh now this is exciting. The first time ever I'm driving overstate weh !! At night summore =P Well, after scaring my uncle's family with my driving. We went over to an uncle's house and stayed overnight. Couldn't really sleep much for me *sigh* it's been like this for some time now. *note to self* need to fix this soon.

night lights of penang island. viewed from the ferry

the car i drove XD

Morning came soon enough and we are off again to tour Ipoh ! =D But not before some breakfast ! Really the food in Ipoh tastes really great and it's cheap too !! I think if i stayed in Ipoh for a whole month, I might be able to put on some weight ! We went to some limestone caves before we end up going to Tambun Lost World waterpark. Thats when my camera batteries went dead *sigh* No more pictures =P I'm getting sighs of relief here from you guys haha.

some cave at Ipoh forgot the name =.=

it's pretty small but it's airy and cooling

last picture T.T there is a huge lotus pond at the other end >.> wasted

Tambun Lost World wasn't really what I had in mind also. Another leap of faith for me as playing with water during a cloudy day isn't my definition of fun. But to the contrary, it was really fun playing with the kids. Fun that I've long time missed too. Hope I can do that again with my bunch of friends sometimes =D. Seriously guys, while it might not "sound" that fun. When you're in it it's a different story =P

Time to head back after that, but not before we stopped at Pasir Pinji for some asam laksa Ipoh style. Really really nice !! The place looks run-down and shabby though under a big old tree but seriously no regret man !! *sigh* too bad no photos. Then it's finally goodbye as we took our dinner together at some restaurant that I've forgotten the name =P it was just okay though. We ate Shredded Chicken Hor Fun (kai si hor fun) didn't find anything special about it =P

After saying goodbye to Uncle Sam's family which stays in Ipoh it's finally time to go home where it's time for surprise no.4. I thought I was able to just sit down and relax on the journey home when suddenly the car my uncle is driving broke down (we are traveling in 2 cars u see) So my aunt (his wife) and I drove back to fetch them as they are stranded by the roadside now and it was 12am. So after the "rescue" I get to drive them home to KL =.= another night drive as my uncle is worried about his wife driving at night. I just don't get it though, I'm even more new to this than her. It's her car after all.

Finally it all ended at 2.30am when I've fetched them all home and returned home myself. It sure was an adventure ! So it is true that a trip doesn't just lie in the destination. It's the journey and it won't be the same if there wasn't such nice company that I've had. Thank you everyone that went for this journey filled with surprises ! Looking forward the next one =D

*blub blub blub*

I am here again~~ ^^ remember I mentioned I went to a very different kind of spa after my Tony Roma's dinner in Pavilion? At last! I am here again to tell you what spa is that......

It's......

FISH SPA!!!

Some of you might know this 'cos this photo is also in my friendster. Haha! Neways~ What's fish spa all about? Everyone seems to be talking on this fish spa. So, I went and try it out with my dad after our dinner.

Garra Rufa (Doctor Fish)

For decades, people seeking alternative methods of healing have mad pilgrimages to Kangal, Turkey in search of a fish known as 'Garra Rufa' or widely known as 'Doctor Fish'.

'Garra Rufa' occurs naturally in the waters is a hot spring near Kangal in Turkey's Sivas Province, and it was there that the fish's unique dietary habits were first discovered. Locals found that the fish would peck away at the dead and diseased skin of bathers, easing the symptoms of those suffering from skin conditions such as psoriasis and abscesses.

So, that's the fishes they used in the pond to bite of your dead skin. It won't hurt when they bite 'cos it's your DEAD skin and confirm your dead skin on your feet so damn thick la! It's super ticklish at the beginning where I kept on laughing when I put my feet in the pond but after awhile you'll cope with the ticklish feel. (ML, remember we place our feet in the stream at the Seven Well? and seriously the fishes look alike la.. haha!)

There's another relaxing thing about this fish spa. These fishes also work as 'little masseurs' which is really fun! Their movement on your feet will make you feel like something is vibrating on your feet. So comfortable! Haiya... I dunno how to explain further adi.. Go try on your own! Haha! Also, your legs will be very smooth & clean & fair after the therapy!

Actually got lots more fishes on my feet de.. but.. fishes are still fishes!
they will still swim away when my phone got so close to them.. haha!

I took a video that day! 'cos it's a half an hour therapy.. quite bored doing nothing other than looking at fishes nibbling on your feet! *and kept on laughing on my own 'cos it was ticklish* Oh btw, the video is quite dark 'cos I used my phone to record only and they used dimmed lights in spa.



I know I don't have slim and beautiful legs la.. So cope with it! Wakakaka!

BTW, the spa is located on the same floor as GSC & Red Box Plus which is Level 5. It's just next to Red Box Plus. Half an hour fish spa therapy will cost you RM35. Of 'cos they have other spa therapy too~ ^^

Seafood at Port Klang

Well..This is the first time I blog after 20 years I guess...after most of the blog are written by kyrina about food..Now is my turn..lolz...

There is oso a meehoon (fried with la - la (a kind of seafood..but in cantonese.) Guess so..u all oso understand,.it is also one of my favourite.. The price is quite reasonable..approximately RM30 per person and I think u all oso can afford it but nt yet count the petrol money 4rm wangsa maju to there la..

The restaurant is accessible 4rm wangsa maju by MRR2 and juz go straight to Port Klang..U will pass 3 toll hse..for one way..and through and back is 6 toll..Means...The total toll money that need to fork out is approximately RM10.00....There is also a private tent..(made by dried coconut leaves ) for u all to be separated 4rm other crowd...to enjoy the food in a peaceful way...I always like it tat way..if there is a place to do so...haha

Tony Roma's @ Pavilion

It's another place in Pavilion! This time is the world known Tony Roma's!

Use phone to capture only.
So, don't expect nice pictures this time k? ^^

Went there on Saturday night with a family friend. It's dinner time when we went so it's quite packed. Ended up, sat outside which is not a nice place at all! Tons of people are queue for their food just outside the place 'cos it's a food court! and people will just walk pass you and stareeeeee at your dish! Uhhh! hate it!

Back to the foooooood...... 7 of us ordered tons of food that day until the waiter stopped us from ordering more fooooood. Haha!(BTW, nice service by them) So ended up ordered 6 main dishes + 1 appetizer + 1 salad, and I am the one that didn't get to order my main dish. Arghh!

The appetizer~~
Tony’s Sampler
Red Hot Buffalo Wings, Spinach Dip, *Baked Potato Skin* and TR's signature Onion Loaf matched with Bleu cheese dressing, sour cream and *1 more dunno what dip*.

Onion loaf not crunchy, didn't slice up equally - too big piece.
Potato skin so-so only.
Buffalo wings... OK la... no comment

...Salad...
Chicken Club Salad
Mixed greens topped with smoked ham, bacon, grilled chicken, eggs, diced tomatoes with pesto, cheddar cheese, diced red onions and croutons. Served with your choice of dressing.

Left only this when it came to me...... =.=
The dressing is good! *can't rmb the name.. something Italian*

Next up~~
2 of the main dishes(out of 6)

Main dish (1)
The world famous ribs!
*Malaysia of course use beef wan la*

OVER-COOKED!! Bite till my teeth also pain ah!

Main dish (2)
Pacific cod fish
*with a very nice sauce*

The left piece tasted very nice, but the right piece tasted weird 0.O

I didn't take pic of the other food 'cos don't want to be too semangat and also 'cos I tak dapat makan punya. Haha! Neways, I'll just list it down......
~ Rib Combo - TR rib + Grilled shrimp (the shrimp is fresh & crunchy!)
~ BBQ Half Chicken (x dapat makan)
~ Grilled Chicken Spinach Stack (x dapat makan) I don't think is this one la.. 'cos only saw broccoli on the plate that day + 2 pieces of chic BREAST!
~ *One of the burger* (x dapat makan)

Dessert of the night!
TR’s Chocolate Avalanche
Molten chocolate cake overflowing with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge and Heath Bar® crumbles. A true dessert explosion.

*Picture not available*

(Sorry ah.. too happy when I saw that so didn't take pic ^^)

They left out our free bread that supposed to come before our meal. So, end up become the dessert as well! haha!

End of my dinner for the night. ^^

Overall, the Sunway Pyramid's TR's taste better lor! or maybe I went that time they are still new la.
The best TR's I had was in Bangkok where they serves PORKY RIBS!! ^^

P/S: Free flow of drinks for Carbonated drinks, Ice Lemon Tea, and FRUIT JUICES!



Stay tuned for my after dinner spa~~
A very different kind of spa ^^
