Yes

My uncle

He died
I cried
Devastated

When death comes, it reminds me of how short life is. 10, 20 years can pass by with a blink of an eye. But we tend to forget that age matters and most of the time, only think about our own selfish needs... Family matters.

Roadtrip

To Ipoh

When we start working...

Make-up seems to be the one thing thats vital when we enter the working world. They say first impression makes a lasting one.

At Harrods in UK, the first thing they insist upon is make-up everyday at work if not you will not be hired.

Being a student, it isnt a must to have make up unless you want to be vain. I never saw the purpose on
Splurging on cosmetics. It is expensive. My money was always used on books, electronics and food. I'd really rather spend on food;) But opportunity came to spend some of my 'highest' income earned when i worked for boots.. Furthermore, i get a discount shopping at boots, so it was an even better opportunity to buy expensive stuff like cosmetics.... Shopped i did...

Few days back i took out my 'toys' and played with it. The pic shows one eye bigger than the other, if u look closely. Its because one eye had full eye liner while the other was half oO ... After all, i was just experimenting:) definitely looked different n better whatmore with iphone apps picture effects..

Make up were from estee lauder, clarins and bare mineral.. Some were given to me for free back when i was in USA...

Yee sang, cny

I had my first plate of yee sang while getting my nails done. I am craving for more:)

Fukuya, Japanese restaurant

Fukuya is one of the higher end jpanese restaurant. Stepping into the restaurant's compound feels different than other places. It has a resort-like feeling to it. I did not take any pictures of the surroundings as I went there for dinner.

We sat in a private room.

Fukuya was the place where I had my first taste of fish sperm. It was definitely an experience I do not think I will crave for again.

We also had hamachi, yellowtail. The one I had in USA wad better.

Of course, what makes this restaurant stand out is the generous portion of sashimi and it tastes really fresh. We had an assorted basket of sashimi which was tastefully decorated. Tuna, salmon, toro, white fish and uni were the sashimi served.

Another must try was their roll, which was unagi with cili padi inside. Thankfully, I have the habit of reading food reviews before going to a restaurant. Hence, I was prepared for this cili padi roll. The cili padi was too much till it made one of the male diner walk out of the room, tearing. So, becarefully with this roll. It did taste good.

We had some other dishes like fried ebi and shrimp tempura, which I think Octopus restaurant does better.

For dessert, I had this japanese
Melon. Tasted like honey dew. A few other diners ordered sesame ice cream, green tea and raspberry ice cream. I had a taste of the raspberry ice cream, and it tasted like heaven. It was simply irrisistable that I had to place one order for myself. So, two desserts for the night.

All in all, the dining experience was fantastic. It is priced above average, but definitely should go there at least once.

The effects of drinking chinese tea during dinner = INSOMNIA

This happened so many times already, but how can I resist not having cupS of chinese tea with my dinner...

Bah, I don't even need to try coffee...

New Year Resolution: No drinking chinese tea after 4pm

Bento sets @ Octopus Sushi & Thai, Festival City

There is a new mall in town. Its located at Jalan Genting Klang, Setapak. It is called Festival City. Eversince it opened, i looked forward to going to this mall everytime because:
1) parking is cheaper than KLCC, Pavillion, Sungei Wang...
2) it is nearer to my house compared to KLCC, Pavillion, Times Square
3) things are much more affordable in festival city ie: a decent place for the middle class people ie: no gucci, prada, etc here
4) no worries about TRAFFIC JAM
5) finally, theres plenty to do here. Theres MBO cinemas opening soon, and really good choices of restaurants to dine.....

I just had a bento set in Octopus. This restaurant beats sushi teh, sushi zanmai and sakae sushi BIG TIME! I have been patronising Octopus since it started in Ampang Point. They have been recently opening branches elsewhere. As with many of the restaurants that became franchises, food quality deteriorates... Fortunately, Octopus still maintains its quality and service.

The first bento i had was tempura and soft shell crab bento box. The bento box comes with salad, tempura, soft shell crab roll, soba and chawanmushi. The chawanmushi was good. It had prawn, mushroom, crabstick n meat inside.
On my next visit, I had the bento with dragon roll, and the third time with unagi roll.... I am enjoying every meal there.. Comes with a free drink too!

Octopus sushi n thai restuarant, Festival City mall

Sitting at the sushi bar in Octopus while drooling at the amazing sushi. No more sushi zanmai and sakae sushi for me. I highly recommend Octopus sushi....

Dragon year

Ushering the year of the dragon at klcc

Fish sperm

I had fish sperms for dinner at a japanese restaurant in kl. Its not something everyone gets to eat lol

One bite of the chunk of sperms causes milky juice to squirt out and it has this gooey, slimey texture on the inside but a bit rubbery on the outside...

I know sup turpedo made of bull's penis are good for men, but i have no idea about fish sperms.

The Malaysian loo

Malaysian loos are famous for being wet.... Very very wet till sometimes it floods.. Last time it happens in every loo, but now times have changed, probably due to plenty of complaints over the years.. So, now in most malls, there will be a cleaning lady holding a mop, waiting, watching eaching cubicle to make sure the loo floor is always dry. There are also some malls that dont put hose in their cubicles. I also love the malls which have queuing system in the loos...

There's a new toilet trend now in malls. They put up signs on each cubicle door to indicate what kind of toilet seat it is aka squatting or sitting... That saves us ladies at least a few seconds in the toilet so we dont have to keep on opening every cubicle door to find our preferred toilet seat. Also, ang mohs who have never seen squatting toilet before will not be so shocked when seeing one in this country anymore. My american cousins once entered a squatting cubicle and ended up rushing out while laughing, asking me how to use it!

Hooray for toilet improvements in this country...at least in sooomee places~~
