Hey sorry for not posting this up earlier....had quite a fair bit of photo's to process in the meantime. As you can see from the photo's that I had a great time there and I went photo crazy as I was clicking my camera away. I ended up with more than 1000 shots. Which I had to later screen, photoshop and upload to slide show. More stuff to blog soon. Watch out for them soon!

Suresh Surprise B'day Party

Gong Xi Fa Cai - 2007 in Penang

We left on Saturday Morning to Penang at 4am. It took us like 4 hours to get from KL to Ipoh. In between there was 2 major accidents. Bus and another bus slammed onto one another and 5 car pile up near Ipoh. We thought leaving so early in the morning would be a great idea but who knew I guess everyone had the same notion as well. Oh well we got there finally in one piece close to lunch time. I dropped Phil off and headed to meet up with my family at my Aunt's house in Minden Heights.

We had our reunion dinner at Forum Chinese Restaurant in Island Plaza thanks to Mandy's father. We managed to get a table there for dinner. The food was scrumptous and very unique. We all enjoyed the food and also the weird curry dal dessert we had (in actually fact is made our of mango but it looks like dal). Here are some of the pics taken that night.

Adila Birthday Dinner @ Strawberry Field

Yesterday was Adila's Birthday!! Happy Birthday Girl! Hope you had a blast at your surprise party on Sat and hope you also have fun last nite. War Wei came up wtih this game where she had to guess her birthday present. It was kinda cool, funny and at the same time kind mean.

Adila made her first guess (cake) and it was wrong so she had to chew down on some chili padi. She was hissing so bad as it was burning. Poor girl! Next guess was still wrong, she had to light Suresh a cigarette, then it was my turn and she guess nighty....eeehhhh wrong answer. This time I had her go to the table behind us with 2 guys sitting there and she had to get their phone no. and names. She did it, kudos to her. Next she guess baju, very close. So she was saved from doing the cat walk Thomas suggested. It was actually a t-shirt. I gave her a set of purple candles.

Suresh and the rest sang "Lady in Red" which was so cool and dedicated it to her since she was all dress up in red.

Part 2 Eye of Malaysia

This weekend we stopped by Taman Titiwangsa again. To see the fireworks. I will youtube the fireworks. Damn nice man....more spectacular than the first time I went, this time got laser show as well. It was madness to get there, we had to park really far but am glad we did managed to find parking all the way behind Istana Budaya. If you guys have not seen the Eye of Malaysia yet you should go before it ends on Feb 25.

Chinese New Year - 3 Weeks More!

Hi ya! 3 weeks more to Chinese New Year and I got so much cleaning more to do. Although I got outside help to clean the place still got lots to cover and things to throw. Must get into the habit of clearing stuff. Stress already! All the shops in KL decorations are all up, have not done much at home. The only thing is that I've sent out CNY Cards. So that's a good thing.

Over the weekend, Poay Khim and Kim Lee were down in KL and since she has not been to Italiannies we decided to have dinner there. Ops forgot to take the scrumptious feast :P We had Shrimp Linguine, Calamari Ceasar Salad and Chicken Lagsane. Yummyy!!! I offered my "5-star" accomodation room hehehe as most of the hotels in KL were full. Floral Fest and all....

Decorations at the Curve is also very nicely done. All in pinky peach blossom makes you feel like you're in Japan, with at the "Sakura" trees.

I got nice monkey cup and winnie the pooh bowl from Poah Khim and Kim Lee. Many Thanks. I love it!

Eye of Malaysia

Yesterday we were at Taman Titiwangsa for the Olympus Photography Workshop. Guess what I've been living here in KL for over 30 years and this is my very first time to the park. It's right behind Istana Budaya. This year is "Visit Malaysia Year 2007", we will be turning 50 years old this year. So lots ot activities and events for the year. Will try to catch most of it. Flora fest will start this week.

Well, back to the taman...this year they actually rented a huge ferris wheel like the one in London. We also have an "eye" here. Check it out. We malaysian ah...love to copy copy one.


Also these are some of the pics I took. This is my attempt on being a world famous photographer.

I do however love the shots I took, my first time taking firework shots. I’m actually quite proud of myself. I have to say many thanks to Matt for lending me a superb camera to help me take such nice photos.

Happy New Year!!!

I know its been a while since I last blogged. It's been crazy crazy time...year end and all. Most busiest time for me. I'm really glad we're starting out again in this year. All the "suey things" - bad stuff leave it behind in 2006 and bring forth all the good things "ong stuff" to 2007.

I believe that 2007 will be a good and memorable year to come. Am really looking forward and making all my wishes and dreams come true in 2007. Year of the piggies!!! YEAH!

Makes new resolutions and set new goals and hopefully attain much more than last year.

:) Happy New Year to all and may this year bring you lots of success and happiness.

Christmas in Penang

Penang here we come....PL decided to drive his car up. I was worried if his car would make it there in piece but too out surprise it did. We detour and took the ferry across from Butterworth. It's been quite a while since I sat on a ferry, its was really exciting and fun. Felt abit "jakun" but who cares. It cost more than the bridge too RM7.50 but it was worth it.
Also as soon as we arrive, went straight down to Swatow Lane for Ice Kacang. Famous Ice Kacang, he's even appeared many times on discovery travel and living.

Christmas Time is here....ho ho ho. It was a short and sweet holiday, we had loads of fun back home. Managed to spend quality time with PL and his father. We visited the new Queensbay Mall in Bayan Lepas. This new mall reminds me alot of 1Utama, MidValley and BTS (combination of all 3 malls) Huge huge parking place...main tenant - JUSCO and many other branded stores. Christmas Tree at Queensbay Mall

We had dinner at Johnny's Steamboat the first nite we arrive. Then on Christmas day which coincidently Uncle's birthday, I wanted to take him to TGIF to celebrate. Being Christmas day, the restaurant was super packed and menu was very limited as it was very new too. So we adjourn to Manhattan Fish Market for lunch....I must say we had a scrumptous meal. I bought a mini cake for him and surprised him when we got back. He received lots of goodies and present too.

Also am very proud of myself, I woke up early together with PL and his dad we went for morning walk 2 days in a row at Botannical Garden. This is to prepare for our long awaited holiday to Siem Rep - Angkor Wat. Looking forward to it....can't wait.
