Steamboat King > visited Cheras Steamboat

Boring after work, phone to my friends and ask them for makan plan. Everyone agreed on Steamboat dinner.


Since most of them are at Cheras / Setapak, so we went to the Famous Steamboat in Cheras. The name for the restaurant is Song Fatt Teochew Steamboat. It is located in Yu-Lek Garden, Cheras.




As you may see in the photo, the place was so crowded (always).The table arrangement is from the street-end-to-end, by leaving out a walking space not bigger than my size.

This place is so popular and I am sure many of you will like to know why. First, the servings are good in quality as well as the quantity. And of course it is not pricey (approx RM15 per head). The place is very hygienic and the food served are all wrapped with plastic-wrap. The waiters and waitress are so friendly and helpful (even the Blangdesh worker).


More than 10 shops long...approximately 60 over tables.


You may choose to have the clear-soup (chicken broth), tom-yam soup, or the FAMOUS chinese-herbal soup. The soup are so tasty, yet not salty or too 'aji-no-moto'. So you will not feel thristy after having the steamboat.

Beside the steamboat, it is highly recommended you try out their BBQ/Grill dishes.
The famous will be the BBQ/Grilled Spicey Squid with Vege. The Grilled Fish are not bad too.

If you need to know more on the direction, do msg me here.




P/S: Steamboat King = Dine more than 4 times of steamboat in a week.

Religious Sundays.

How nice to be a Christian?

Is a English-speaking community (usually), got to know lots of nice-looking babe, feel of a more caring society, meeting fine people (babes), well-planned activities for weekends, greater business opportunities, get wealthier (faster?), etc.

Oh! not to forget...

You will have one more Father, that will only support you emotionally and morally...but not financially (usually lah). And you will also have many sisters-sisters, brothers-brothers too.

So? You make your decision.

For the good of 2008.

Beautiful Sunday. My mom waking me up and cancel all my plan. WHAT THE HECK?!! Is my Sunday! Is OSB Day!! I can't just miss it again.

Oh! Today is a good day for praying. So we went to do some praying in Temple. This is all for our own good, for the good of 2008. To be happier, healthier, wealthier, ...all things better lah.

This temple is very popular too. And I met up some friends and clients there. They are praying to have better business growth in 2008, so that they can buy more from my company. And I also pray good for them, so they can buy more from me.

Hahaha... mutual benefits = killing each other.



PRAY HARD & WORK SMART in 2008

Rambo... Opsss! Is the Lambo.

Yes. Is a Lamborghini (the bull).

Hey... I know is not something unusual for you people outthere. But here, in Malaysia. It is really very RARE to see 'The Bull' running around.

Saw this Lambo parked in SS2 area, Petaling Jaya. And it is sick. I think the 'Bull' is having fever (air-cond spoilt).


SS2, Petaling Jaya

From Ferrari, Porsche, Classic cars, Antique cars, Collection cars can always be seeing there for fever medication. Hahaha...


The uncle is old, but he is one of the best Air-cond Doctor for your car



I am not gila, beside me there are many people snapping the photo too


So, if your Proton, Toyota, or whatever vehicle got fever problems can consider bring it there.

Belated Birthday Celebration... Jeremy & Joyce

Hey...thanks J&J !!

Jeremy & Joyce (J&J) celebrated my belated birthday by bringing me to a wonderful place for dinner today.


My pal, Joyce & Jeremy... since year 1984

The place decorated in a balinese theme, and serves balinese foods and local varieties. At first when I reached, I saw the place... Wow! this will be superb pricey restaurant. But when I flipped thru their menu, the pricing are not too bad.
So don't let the fancy decor hold u back from visiting this fine restaurant.


Fragance rice, Sambal Balacan Kang-kung Vege, Singkong Tofu, Tomyam Fresh Seafood Soup, Deep-fried Pandan Chicken

The place is nice, but the food and the service is just at the border... so so only. But no complains lah. At least, can eat and can see.

For those that have not visited this restaurant before, do go and see. And you will be surprise. :)

Oh ya....i really a stupid donkey. I have not tell you the name of the place.
It's called "Bora Asmara" ....even the name is fancy.


Not only outside, the inside very nice too

Too bad that I not bringing along my Nikon DSLR, or else I can capture more shots and show you here. All my shots taken are blur...except a few that I taken uses the flash. Hope next round when I go visit again, I can have more steady shots to show.

Christmas Countdown 2007 at ..."some place"

Whoa! After the Christmas BBQ at Joy's place. We headed to our Christmas countdown celebration. But here comes the problem... where can we have a place to sit down and to celebrate? ...open dicusssion time, TTDI Park, SS2 Park, McDonalds SS2, your house, my house, mamak stall, ...oh! every place seem having obstacles.

We can't bring outside food and drinks into Restaurant!
We can't celebrate at the park, what if somebody come to stab us and steal away our Christmas cake? Or rob us?

Finally, we going to do the kiasu-way (act blur)...we will settle down at the KFC in Jalan University. There is a children playground at that KFC outlet.

But unfortunately, all tables are occupied after we reached there. But there have not much time left. So HOW??!


Lye Kuan& James with the Snowy-white Christmas Cake, and Nigel with the Adelaide Red-wine.

So... finally, we decided to celebrate in my mini MPV! Wow! what a great experience.
I did slept in my car overnight, I did surf-net with my lappie in my car, ...but celebrate Christmas? the FIRST TIME. hehehe...

I folded up all the rear seats, and we hop-in...seem everything is fine. Great.
We really enjoyed ourselve in the car.


Nigel & Myself... can't wait to taste the Christmas cake and the red-wine.

Is really an UNIQUE way to celebrate. We are thinking for another NEW way to celebrate Christmas for year 2008. Want to join us? :)

(too bad... that location have no fireworks to see)

Christmas BBQ @ Joy's (2007)

Hey. Overdue update!! Sorry... getting older... I getting older... really.

How can I forget this wonderful moment? On Pre-Christmas eve, I get invited by Michelle to her friend's Christmas BBQ party not far away from my work place.

Wow! Great... as I have no appointment for Christmas dinner yet. Quickly said "YES! YES!" Hahaha....free food, free fun, free enjoyment, ...everything free.

So after work on the Christmas Eve, I rush over to buy some table-red-wine from Denise (got 15% off for member)... and then rush over to meet James to choose a Christmas cake at King's Confectionery for our Count-down celebration later at midnight.


Lee, James and me setting up the BBQ Pits.

Then to Joy's house. Everyone seem late that day (or we are too early), anyway is already 8pm. So the guys start to do the scout job, start the flame. and the girls ready the table and food.


I am so enjoyed and happy...look at my BIG smile.

Everyone starts to arrive later one-by-one like the VIP in the Grammy's Award, except there are no red carpet and paparazis. hahahaa....

We have fun, we joking around... especially me. As usual lah, I am very social...can chat with almost anyone from 3 years old to 80 years old... and from students to doctors. No problem...all sapu. (hope I am not irritate by them) :-)

Anyway, is Christmas Party !!! Who cares? I have to enjoy myself.

When it is almost at 11pm, James, Lye Kuan and myself have to make a move for our private count-down celebration at 'some place'. We tell everyone that we are going, and they so nice and keep on saying thank you to us for making the BBQ pit for them... I felt touchy...nearly wanted to cry...but I hold back my tears and smile at them. Joy's mother even gives us a Christmas gift. Wow!! That's why I always love Christmas and the month of December.

HAHAHAA...

Oh! did I mentioned, we will goto 'some place' for our private Christmas count-down?? Guess where? HAHAHAHAAA... :-D

Big Thinking... Thinking Big 10 years

I am happy with what I am now. Time really flies...fast.

I found this book in my room. And this book was autographed and dated by one of my mentor on 30th Dec 1997. It was my birthday ...10 years ago.



And I have not finished reading it after 10 years. But I have read up most of the important part. This book was given by a friend of mine, at that time, he is a General Manager of a Group Company as well as a Director of a Logistic Company.

More or less, what I am now is somehow a foot-step of him. He guided me. And the book he gave me as my birthday gift...really enlighten my life.

I wish I can meet him someday and chat with him.


I have found the AudioBook for this Book. Anyone interested can message me. And I am happy to share it.


To: Mr. Damien Tan, THANK YOU, SIR.


P/S: Damien Tan, you teached me about the FIVE "C". And I still remember it.

Today is my Birthday - Dec 30

Birthday... Today is my Birthday. SO WHAT?!

So, I will want to enjoy it myself. Hmm... I am really happy today, just that I don't show it on my face.



30th December 2007, is just another great day in my history. So many people are with me today, so many new people that I met today.



Birthday Lunch with Lilian & Nigel at Marche


I had lunch with Nigel and Lilian at Marche (The Curve Shopping Mall). This was my first time visit to the French Market (a restaurant). This place is fun, you go shop for your food and then they will cook it for you. There are too many varieties, from juices to wine, from vege to steak...of course the pizza & coffee too.



Mushroom Soup & Grilled Turkey Ham


The seafood platters looks delicious, but I ordered the Grilled Turkey Ham with the Mushroom Soup. And save the seafood for my dinner. The serving is fast (just in 10min) and very well tasted. Marche will be one of my frequent-visit restaurant in year 2008, 09, 10, 11...


After the meal, I enjoy myself at Starbucks located in The Borders (a bookstore).


At night, I dine with my pals from my high-school. We had our dinner at the LalaChong Seafood Restaurant. We ordered the Famous Lala (Clam), a spicy steamed fish, hot-plated beancurd, balacan style vege, fried eggs, and the spicy style bamboo clam. I would give 9 out of 10. Wow!! great dishes with affordable price. All for less than RM200.00





We also have cake-cutting at the end of the meal.


Charlie's Angel: Seow Wei, Han See, Tjin Ling (left to right)


Thanks everyone, Nigel, Lilian, Weng Wah, May, Khai Boon, Tjin Ling, Alex, Han See, Seow Wei, and not forget the little ones... Chin Simone, Benson Ho, Chin Keegen, and Wilson Ho.

Michelle, thanks for your gift. FRIENDSHIP FOREVER.

Oi !! Where got logic? This is not Mathematics-lah !

Ai-yo... some time back, we listenned to radio and even TV news, saying that our country's police force is lack in numbers. And the politicians and journalists starts to do analysis and satistics.

And just recently, I got this statement again in one of the radio's morning-talk program.

So with the lastest population in our country, 24,821,286 heads (July 2007 est.)... the ratio for ONE policeman is over to TWO HUNDRED (200) citizens.

That's not the statement!! Not True!! Mana ada logic?

Hey, people... with the 24 million of citizen, not every single one of us is BAD guy? Police only serves the BAD people. Therefore, they should only count those people that are BAD!!! so the figure shouldn't be 24 million heads!

Oi!!! Wake up la... please make the statement and the calculation again.

Anyway, the number of policemen in our country is really insufficient. In other countries, for example, Hong Kong... they will have policemen rounding places. I don't see any policeman rounding my area. Not yours too, right? :)

Friends, let's learn up some Taekwan-do. Hahaha...

The Christmas Story... continues...

Santa's clothes actually is in White color, and he lives in the North Pole. One day (24th December...some 200 years ago), one couple came to him and seeking for help as the couple's wife is going to deliver a baby. And asking Santa to help him as the mid-wife ("bidan" - in Malay language).

And that day, it is snowing heavily. Santa leads them to the barn, so he can set a fireplace with the hay. And it was tough, after hours later... the couples gave birth to a baby boy.
(The couples are Joseph and Mary, and the baby boy is Jesus)

After the delivery, Santa's clothes are covered with blood and became red in color. When he walks out from the barn, everyone saw him wearing a red clothes. And white edges on the collar and sleeves are actually the snow falls on. So that's why we can see the Santa is in red clothes now.



Santa Claus @ The Curve Shopping Mall, Mutiara Damansara

Santa then giving out presents to people to celebrate the joy of the Birth of Jesus.

Therefore, Santa is now the celebrity for Christmas day.

p/s: is just my version...fun reading. please don't sue me.

My version of... Christmas Story.

I have been sharing this story with my close friends since many many years. And yesterday, one of my regular customer visited my retail store and i told him that story. Immediately, we have joy and he suggested to me, do you have a blog? why not post it up there?

I said, I don't want to offend into Religious matter. Sound serious. Then, after think back, is just a story, and i am not creating a hoax, or trying to change history (anyway, who am I), neither no one can prove who is right or wrong in this Christmas story. The existing version might be wrong too (maybe). Ok lah...story time....just for leisure reading...no offends, ok? :)

"Christmas is an annual holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus. The date of the celebration is traditional, and is not considered to be his actual date of birth."

-- extracted from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas)



Oh yes. I knew about it. Then Christmas is just a celebration after all? Hahaha. That's why many christian don't celebrate Christmas these days.

So now, think back... Who is Santa (Claus)? He is everywhere during December month, hotel lobby, shopping arcade, your friend's house, even on the streets. Hahaha....funny. And we don't see any of Jesus figure (make-up) around. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Why we celebrating the Santa day? Ok. This is because Santa is very important. He has a role in this Christmas day. He must have some connection to this day.

Santa's clothes actually is in White color, as he lives in the North Pole.

Christmas... what do it mean to you?

Hey...have you wonder what do Christmas mean to you? Christmas mean so much to me. I just have to tell you, I love the month of December. It is so joyful, glorious, magical, sensible, and romantic.

Christmas celebration is so special and meaningful. And for this year, I have a new thought to see the different view for Christmas. Christmas day is here to make people more caring and understand people beside them. And not just a ordinary round-the-clock holiday with a silent night.

You see, whoever that cares, will definately go out and spend time to make this celebration meaningful. And those that cares, will surely grabbed the 'ideal' gifts for the person. No one that doesn't cares will do such a thing in their busy daylife. Agreed? :)

One more thing, the pre-Christmas week, people will usually hide-out from their spouse and go shopping. Just to make a surprise for him/her. This will surely showed the relationship and the understanding between them. Very positive.

Conclusion, Christmas celebration is so meaningful, because of the 'get-together' relationship from the earlier seperation by the understanding made between them. Got me? Hahaha... lousy English.

Really don't understand? aiyo... contact me lah. I will explain to you in Cantonese :)

Pre-Christmas 2007 Plan??

Wow... time really fly fast. Is Christmas time again. And it is so sad to work on the Christmas day.

Therefore, I have plan to go holiday with friends before the Christmas day to avoid the crowds and give myself a boost to work on Christmas day.

22nd Dec (Sat), is a perfect day. But now...what to do then? where to go? Oh my god, it is crashing my head again to think.

We have look into Port Dickson, Genting, Malacca... but it seem that all places have been fully occupied.

Any suggestion out there? Please help...

Congratulations : Allan + Esther

Yesterday, 15th December (Sat)... a tiring day for me. I've set my alarm at 5:30am, and I don't hear a single 'ring' myself...till I being woke-up by my dad. And it was already 6:30am.

I got to rush to preparing myself and goto Allan's house by 7:00am. Today is Allan & Esther's Wedding day. Both of them are my long time friend, and I am so happy that both ended up to live together as husband & wife. Once again, CONGRATULATIONS !!


Allan: thanks dear, for wiping my sweat

As usual, I will be carrying my buddy (Nikon D50) with me to shoot for the day. I never took many shots that day as the 'Canon EOS-1D' tells me that my Nikon D50's flash is distrubing. First thing on my mind, I say to Canon EOS-1D..."Oh really? Then I not use my flash from now on."
Hahaha... what a joke.

Then another thing came to my mind, BBC tells Reuters, hey...your flash is disturbing my shots...and then CNN complains about BBC....so everyone turned off their flash. Hahahaa....so you will see the newscaster reporting a news with a Samsung Plasma TV in black screen.

Confused... Blur Blur...

My First Blog Posted.

Oh. Have been a long long time that I wanted to setup my own blog. Finally, here is it...successfully set-up.

I have so many things and thought to say... always. And I even have my own web site.
Is just that I am lazy to construct it.

Now, www.blogger.com have the function for us to set-up our own blog with their ready-made templates and then host it on our own server. In another word, you can have your blog-site with your personal domain name.

Example, like mine, I can have http://www.isnotdotcomis.net/mbe as my blog URL. (whereby www.isnotdotcomis.net is my registered domain name)

Ok. I think I better learn how to use all the ready-made features in www.blogger.com and then start writing my blog.
