Eileen's ACCA Convocation

It has been an extremely long time since I last met Eileen. Last Saturday was her ACCA convocation. A few of us gathered at KL Convention Center to meet her. Ee Lin has prepared a pink octopus while I took over the “mission” of getting the flowers. 5 huge sunflowers for RM55 from Petaling Street. They sure look gorgeous! Very matching with the octopus. Hehehe...

Congratulations Eileen!

Kit's Birthday

Last Wednesday was Kit’s birthday. As usual, we had dinner and a mini cake cutting session. He was expecting us to “attack” and acting very defensive. Whenever we approach him, he would bounce away. Very interesting…

Kit, overwhelm by the mini cake

Brownies Competition

Yup, that's the first brownies competition held in HDS recently. There were 4 teams. My team was lead by our main chef, Azrin. Everyone sure puts in a lot of effort for this. We even had a team of 3-4 guys from the Configuration team. Good spirit!

In the process of making...

Final product of the 4 teams. My team was the one with the tin container!

Freshly baked DAFnies!

Farewell Shahid!

Shahid: All the best for your new role!

Deepavali

This year’s Deepavali was a busy one, because I was working and had been visiting 2 of my colleague’s open house. It was the first time I visited my colleagues’ house during the festive season.

In Sri’s house, I got a taste of the authentic Indian food. The imported Mango juice was really nice. Not forgetting, non-spicy fried chilly! And the yummy fruit dessert!
At AK’s place, we were served with delicious food for dinner!

Short Trip Back to Penang

I made a short trip back to Penang around 2 weeks ago. I perm my hair on Friday. There aren’t many customers. The process was very long, about 4 hours! My head was so heavy when they plugged in all those weird stuff to my hair.

Coincidently HS’s birthday was around the corner. This year, the celebration was held at a very unique restaurant located in the middle of the old town, called Edelweiss. The restaurant itself is a pre-war house. There are a lot of antiques there. The waitress is friendly and the food is nice! I like the spaghetti and the mango ice-cream. Yum yum!

Ice-creams

Not forgetting, Oktober Fest! It was a night of dancing and drinking.

Bak Kuh Teh Shop @ Jalan Imbi

It was the same shop that I went to for Bak Kuh Teh more than a month ago. However, this time we ordered dishes instead of Bak Kuh Teh. The food was quite nice, but the ulam fish was not spicy enough. As for the fried taufu, the sweet and sour sauce was a bit tasteless.

Coincidently, Uncle Stv’s birthday was on the next day. Thus, we had a “simple” celebration for him there, with a small banana cake sponsored by Kit.

Pork Noodle @ Jln Tun Sambanthan

This pork noodle stall is located at a deserted place, near KL Sentral (same row as the monorail station at KL Sentral, opposite the Poslaju office at Jalan Tun Sambanthan). SY introduced me to this stall. The stall itself is located in a hawker center. A lot of people working around the area go there for lunch. It is rather pack and hot. But, the noodle is nice.

Zanmai Sushi @ Sunway Pyramid

Among the 3 Zanmai Sushi that I have been to, Sunway Pyramid is the best of them all – environment, food and service. If I am not mistaken, they have more chefs there. The ingredients used for the sushi is quite fresh and the portion is huge.

Don't know what sushi is this, but it's really nice!

Vegetarian Indian Food @ Brickfields

Vicky recommended us to this stall several weeks ago. The boss is a very nice guy. When we arrived, it was 12pm and the stall was not officially open for business yet. So, we parked our cars and waited outside of the stall. The boss approached us and offered us some tidbits to eat. Overall, the food is nice. I like the ginger “teh tarik” (can’t recall the exact term).

Hakka Restaurant

It is a restaurant near my company, just opposite of Pavilion. I always see a lot of customers whenever I pass by the restaurant. Overall, I would say that the food is just okay. The food portion is rather small for its price. I miss the Hakka Mee at Pantai Jerejak, Penang~
