Merdeka Day @ Seremban.

Today is the Malaysia Independant Day, or we called it Merdeka Day. This is the 51st good anniversary for Malaysia. I just hope that we can many more good years in future.

And I am happy today, cause I am granted a temporary VISA at the very last minute in the morning...and I am free to go!! Go Seremban with Nigel in his Proton Satria GTi.

With a recorded average speed of 140km/h and the help from the GPS navigation, we finally arrived Seremban at 14:30. We went to Cindy's house and then headed to the Seremban Wet Market for our late lunch.

Seremban Wet Market

Cindy's god father owned a coffee shop (Weng Heung Coffe Shop) in the Seremban Wet Market. He is the Master of Hai-nan Coffee. He follows his grand grand father foot steps in making famous Hai-nan Coffee for more than 30 years, even since the Seremban Wet Market is built.

We ordered the famouse coffee, and the traditional toast bread. What makes the traditional toasted bread so popular is the home-made bread that it is so soft and crispy, every bites is so light and yummy. After the bread are toasted, Planta (Vegetable Gee) and Kaya (Coconut Jam) will spread on it.

right photo: Cindy is helping to toast the bread

When I am tasting the bread and the coffee, it makes me think back of my childhood days. My grandfather will bring me to the coffee shop and share his coffee and bread with me. My grandfather will pour the coffee on the saucer for me and he will drink using the cup. one slice of bread for me and the another half for him. Sometime, my grandfather will also order half-boiled eggs too. What a sweet memories.

Oh! one more thing, the tunes from the coffee shop...Redifusion Radio. Hope you people still remember this subscribed radio station.


Nigel never forget his Sony Alpha200 Camera.

Working Overtime.

night-view of KLCC.

Haiiii... is another long-hours working day. it will be a long, tiring weekend too.
PC Fair 2008 (II) is in town again. After a whole-day stress from retail work, i have to jam to KLCC to continue the pressure from the crowds.

extreme working hours from 8am to 12am, continous for 3 days. really killing me.

Secret Chamber with Expensive Machines.

Photo: Expensive machines.

Extra pound? Not really an issue to me. But I just want to keep my engine moving ok for another 60 years (maybe...hopefully). Always seeking a work-out place that nice, quiet, well-maintained, classy, friendly, not crowded, easy-access, affordable (no hidden-charges). Finally, got found the place with my friend's invitation.

I have enrolled, and planned visit it daily after work. First day, got a free trial pass. I am so stress, and the machine keep on alert by giving warning of High Heart Beat Rate. Just a usual cycle of 3min, and i already at 170 heart-beat rate...and getting higher, and higher. My friend that was with me, got shocked and getting so worried that I will just get fainted or black-out. Hahaha... I keep on telling him that I am ok. I feel right. I think is the machine's mistake.

Photo: I named this place - the Secret Chamber.

I always have the feel that I am in a secret chamber while I am at the place, giving me the feel that I am like in a Batman's Lab...or the Iron-man's Hanger. Hahaha... and furthermore, this fitness center is not open for public. So, it even giving me more of that feel.

Photo: The Yoga-class room.

They even have yoga classes, but is not my taste. I am more into the girls that come for the yoga class. Hahahaha...so far, never encounter any girls yet.

Ah Soon Fishhead Mee @ Kuchai

Ai Yo...got Over-time again. As usual lah, all employees will sure making noise for Over-time job. But what to do, we really have to finish up the job to meet the date-line.

While doing Over-time (OT), one of my newly joined technician (in chinese, we called them Si-Foo) talking about food. When come to food-talk, I will be damn alert...as I am a great-eater. Hahahaa... look at my body size, u will know the answer.

He mentioned to go for the Famous Fish Head Noodles in Kuchai Lama Road. He said the rice-noodles are nice, the soup are so tasty, the fish are fresh and tendy. Say until my lips are glossy-wet. Without another word from him, I say...u bring me there, I buy u dinner for tonight.

After the rushing, last minute work, we headed over to the Old Kuchai Road for the Famous Ah Soon Fish Head Noodles.

Indeed, the noodles is nice. You all should go and try it. The queue are usually very long during lunch and dinner hours. So makesure you spare more time for seeking car parking and also time for the long queue.

Dark Knight and TramCar.

Tram Car Restaurant at 32Square, Petaling Jaya.

I always pass-by this restaurant while I goto my usual hang-out place... Starbucks. Today, my friend, Nigel recommended me to dine in this restaurant. From the outside, you may see this is a pricey restaurant, but inside it is a well-decorred, quiet, fine restaurant that serve local and western cruisine. The portion is big, yet the price is reasonable charged.

Nigel highly recommended the Nasi Lemak with Ice Water. And I had the Grilled Fish with Fruit Juice. Is your turn to give it a try at this restaurant.

Working Out at Gym.

GoodHope Inn, Penang.

Yes, yes, yes... I went to Penang again. Is another business trip. I m bringing some business partners to meet some dealers around Northern of Malaysia.

I simply wanted to say that GoodHope Inn, Penang is one of the BEST lodging place. I always wanted to stay here, but it is occupied all the time. The service is good, the room is clean & well maintained, the compound area are organised. Price from RM90 (USD30) onwards. Located at the famous Gurney Drive, which u can have access to hawker food, pub, convenient store, restaurants. Starbucks, Coffeebean Cafe, Subway Sandwich is just next door. And McDonalds is just 10min walk away.

Penang: The Receipe over 150 years.

After the crossed over the mighty Penang Bridge, and before
checking in to the apartment. We headed over to buy some local
delicacies from the famous stores. These stores are superb lan-si,
some open 6 days in a week, and some open till 12pm.

Just because of that, not to make any disappointed for this trip,
we go shop first. Him Hiang. Ghee Hiang, and Tien Yuen are 3 of
the famous store you shouldn't miss. They sell similar products,
but it is up to individual taste.

Ghee Hiang, is over 150 years. Whether is good or bad, the numbers
do tell you everything. Who can survive for that period of time
if they are not doing well all the time?? I believe no one will
survive.



No Joke! is more than 150 years.
Coca-cola older or ?? Hehehe...



Bangalow reconditioned; Receipe maintained.



The Brand: Ghee Hiang



Ghee Hiang Logo (with the famous baby)



Wide range of products. Famous Caramel Biscuits,
Tambun Biscuits, Phoem Pia Biscuits...and The Sesame Oil.



Coach Buses, one by one visiting here.
Crowds are expected here every single minute.

Every minutes, you will see buses dropping the tourists here to
shop. And many of them are Singaporean. So do the biscuits taste
real good?? I don't know. You tell me about it. Share some
comments with me.



"Ho Chiak" also pay visit here.

Penang: Lunch @ Bukit Minyak, Bukit Mertajam

I totally forgot my family trip to Penang on Wesak holidays. Luciky
my mom sent me an SMS one week earlier to informed me. And I
managed to apply off-day. Thank GOD.

But then later, my dad said he got another extra lot of apartment
cause his friends cancelled the trip last minute. So, i immediately
message to some of my travelling kaki...
Nigel, and Kelvin. And they confirmed to go. Wow!! Great! and Kelvin
will be asking one of his friend, Mr. Fooi to join us too.

So, I blurring the whole week to wait for the day 17th May (Sat).
And we convoy in two cars and reached Penang at 2.00pm due to
some delay in the morning and breakfast in PJ before departure.

Oh ya! about the breakfast, When I arrived to the Restaurant, Nigel keeps on complaining about this
REAL AUTHENTIC Prawn Mee. He got conned by that stall. So he insists
he have to compensate with the REAL Prawn Mee in Penang later.
Hahaha :)

We all makan-gang. When we say "NO". You just got to believe
us. Our standard of makan is ISO1970's certified. :)

We never been to Bukit Mertajam after so many visits to Penang. So
this round, our first stop will be Bukit Mertajam. Nothing much to
see there, and mostly are factory and light-industries. We directly
head to a newly open restaurant in Bukit Minyak for our late lunch.



Kelvin and his friend, Mr. Fooi

We ordered some mix-rice, and the price is cheaper than Selangor.
And the servings are good. My mom ordered the Hokkien Mee, and
turned up to be the Prawn Mee. Hahaha... She forgot that Prawn
Mee is called Hokkien Mee in Penang. So you people next time got
to remember that.

After the lunch, while we discussing for our next stop, Nigel found
out that this restaurant is WiFi ready. They all take our their mobile
to hook onto Internet.

*&^%$#@!!! I don't have a mobile phone with WiFi feature!! So,
inorder for me to show off to them, I also hook onot the Internet...
with my Maxis 3G (unlimited) Hahahaha!!! I even posted the photo and
update my blog using my mobile phone.

Live Update leh!! hahaha....in chinese we say "i won them few streets".



Kelvin and Nigel, exploring with the WiFi.

After resting and making fun there, we move on to our next destination.

The Penang Island.

Hate to dine in Puchong - Taiping Lang Restaurant

Being 2 days, same place, traffic jam, no parking space, waiting
for long long queue for table. HATE to dine there again.

My mom suggested we go the place for dinner, and is Mothers' Day,
so WE GO!! I see the food are nothing special, totally not worth
to wait. Is just that it is recommended by "Ho-Chiak" (one of the
local TV hosted programme).

Lately, i felt that Ho-Chiak and some others are really lack in
quality of making recommendations. Many patrons to the restaurant
are having the same thought too. I think the restaurant will be
doing the "one-time" business only. :)

And there is another restaurant few doors away (Gao Ren Guan 高人馆),
this restaurant is much better. the servings is good, but the long
queue is really irritating. Most of the patrons to this restaurant
(Gao Ren Guan) are usually the over-flow from Taiping-Lang Restaurant.

Anyway, it is my comments. No big deal, ok?

Oh ya, maybe I should comment something about food in general
here. How can we judge the food initially before actually tasting
them? Not tricky at all, right?

Simple...first is the SMELL, once the food is being cook, we should
able to smell the fragrance of the ingridients all the way from
kitchen (I don't know about you, but my mom's cooking can be smell
from kitchen till few doors away). second only will be the LOOK, as
how the food being prepared and presented.



Taiping Lang Restaurant - Not in my Makan-list.


But when i was in that restaurant (Taiping Lang), i don't smell
anything on the food...even till the food being served on my table.
Oh!! The look was okay. But no smell...so my sense telling my brain,
the food is just so so...just for you to fill up your stomach...so
just keep quiet and eat.

Hahaha...go and try....then share your comments here.

p/s: the restaurant is located opposite of Puchong IOI Mall.
deep inside those shops (near the ex-Zhong Wah Lau Restaurant's location).

CNY 2008 (Rat) TSM Dinner at Puchong

2008, is the smallest Chinese New Year gathering (dinner) ever happen. Wah Lau!! Just 4 of us. For those not invited, that is because you are not.

But for those that cannot made it, we understand...we hope you can make it next year.
For those that invited, and you just forgotten... we will forward the receipt to you.

Hahaha... whenever there is a gathering, I will be very very excited. I don't know why... maybe is because I prefer friendship-life or outside-life than 'my home' life.

A gathering can be big, but can also a small group of 3 person. It doesn't really matter. Who is coming, who is missing, who is paying, who is married, or who has divorce...MOST important...is YOU are there, at that time.

It just one precious moment (every gatherings) that YOU don't want to miss.

For example, I become CHARLIE today. Wondering why ya?...hehehe !! Because there are three angels having dinner with me. YES!! is just FOUR of us. (Charlie's Angels)



TL & SW posing to the camera.

After the dinner, we went to HS's house to join in the fun with her children, mahjong fun, and chat.

Chat topic for the day: Edison, Bobo, Ah Gill, Edison, Cheung Pak Chi, and of course Edison!!! Hahaha... oh! not forget about the election coming soon (no politics issue are discuss openly).

While enjoying myself there, I was thinking so many of the flashback of our old days. I am not young (anymore). I wish I can be back to those old days with all the good memories. How nice if I can have the super power like Hiro (character in the movie "HEROES")...that I can travel in time and space.

Anyway, I will try not to miss any gatherings.

To all my friends, May Miracles Happen & Good Luck.

214 Valentine's Dinner

Always get to see some girls selling flowers in a basket beside the habour (TVB HongKong series), and then the main character will buy the whole basket of flowers from the girl.

The guy will then give all the flowers to the girlfriend.

How wonderful !

Flower-selling girl, where will you be? I wish I could buy your whole basket of flowers and then go for Valentine's Dinner with you.

Valentine's Day - February 14th (Thu), 2008

Is going to be another non-sense story here. But anyway, it is original.

The only reason for a person to come out with this idiot story is HE/SHE is LONELY.
Hahaha. What the heck is the Valentine's Day?

Oh...the inventor is also an idiot. Have you ever ask why Uncle Valentino will fix February 14th as "The Day" ??

I think I have the answer for that. Valentine's Day is originated by Chinese. As Uncle Valentino is a Chinese too. Hehehe... not many people know about it, and please don't ask me how I know it... I just knew lah.

Generally, it is just another day for us to celebrate... and for businessman to do more sales.

Chinese is very sensitive with some numbers... such as, 4, 14... etc. Therefore, Uncle Valentino picks this particular day out of 365 days as "The Day".

As no one will going to like this date. So he just want to make the day more loveable, and people will forget about the sensitive numbers issues.

February 14th = 14/2 = one to die together (sound bad, but also sounded ENDLESS LOVE)

Hahaha... just for leisure reading la. No heart-feelings, ok? :)
