I love food


It's Friday night! This is about a past Friday, hehe!

What's better than finding nice food to eat in Penang? That Friday night we have our tour guides (the couple in the picture), they bought us to 3 places for food!!!

Seriously! I do not know where were we at the first stop, but it's some where near the Penang Time Square, I think.

It looks like an old and small kopitiam at the road side.

We were there for the Loh Mee, and according to my friends, this Loh Mee is special, not like the ordinary one that you can get at any normal stall.

The gravy taste like the "shark fin" soup (cheap one that you can get with approx. RM5 at the roadside).

Yes! I think they added dark vinegar into the gravy. Haha, I'm pretty good at tasting food, sometimes.


Look at how big the bowl is!!! The smaller one is the normal big bowl that we normally get when eat outside.

We ordered a "big" Loh Mee for 4 of us to share and the couple ordered a small one. We did not expect the "big" to be this big, we thought the smaller one is considered "big" already!!! FML, how to stay fit if eat this much???

Wondering if there's anyone order the big one and finish eating it all alone, then that person must be a fat ass. *kidding*

I'm also a fat ass, but I don't eat this much because I can't even finish the smaller one.


Salted fish fried bean curd! One of the famous food found in Penang. But this one got nothing special, the taste is fairly nice, got salted fish taste.

Passed!


My first steamed lettuce with chicken floss, it's quite special to me because that was my first time eating it

The taste is like salty-sweet. Sweet from the chicken floss while salty from the lettuce sauce. 

Quite nice but it's a bit too oily for me.


Our next round is Seafood Lok Lok in Pulau Tikus. 

This is not like the normal lok lok stall that you can see everywhere in Penang, there, you get to sit down on a chair with all the lok lok arrange accordingly right on the table, instead of standing in front of the stall with crowded customers while choosing your  favourite lok lok and steam them.

The guy from the couple said eating lok lok there got more feel. Plus, it's cleaner than the lok lok stall that required you to stand, that's why he brought us there, lol!

That place also got a "Tong Shoi" stall (糖水), just next to this lok lok stall. It's max nice to have a bowl of icy cold tong shui while having you hot fresh-steamed lok lok. *thumbs up*


Our last stop is fruit stall near Esplanade.

I did not buy any, because I don't like eating fruits right after meal.

While my friends were eating their fruit, I was camwhoring myself. 

I was too free because I'm not eating, haha!

I love this picture down here ¯ (although my face look fat)


Then I start to make others pose at the same spot to let me take picture of them!

Too free, so start to kacau others, haha! ***Just in case you don't know, kacau means disturb in Malay. 

I really is 吃饱没事做, direct translate should be nothing to do after eating, means boring, I think.




Somehow, I still prefer my self-captured (自拍) picture. 

Maybe that was because I was nearer to the camera and the flash hit my face and reflected, makes my skin look healthy and glowy like having inner shine skin.

Another camwhoring on the way home
Eaten a lot! Should start doing exercise to get rid of the body fat collected since CNY! 加油!

Shabu Shabu


This is a very out-dated post, because I went to this place during my friends' birthday celebration on 4th April. But I still want to share this cuz this place is quite nice --- Lolipot Shabu Shabu :)


We are sitting at the table next to this actually, but this is how it looks like. A table of 10, with 10 tiny hot plates beneath the "holes", surrounded by spaghetti curtain and decorated with elegant lighting.


There are tables of 4 right beside the conveyor belt. This is very convenient, you can just take what ever "passing-by" ingredient you want.

We can't because the belt is too far away, our steamboat ingredient came by order.


We ordered a lot of ingredients that day, almost everything on the menu list, it's buffet!

They offer fresh seafood like oyster, scallop, abalone, prawn, fish, crab and jelly fish.

There are various type of meat and fish balls, some have special filling inside! I love the cheese ball to max *slurp*

Of course, don't forget their meat slice, our main dish! They have pork, mutton and beef slice. I think pork taste the best because I'm Chinese, Chinese loves eating pork! LOL! (Kidding, this has nothing to do with Chinese)

We kept ordering non-stop once any ingredient is almost finish, so our table is always full. I think people (customers) around us think we must have been starved for days, LOL!


They have 2 types of soup, light soup and tom yam soup. I chose light soup! 清汤~ (My pot was not boiling under low power, need to set the hot plate to high power)

Luckily the drinks are free flow, because I like to dip my food with chillies (need to drink a lot). I had peach tea, my favourite! They also have honey green tea, mango juice and orange juice.


After finish sapu the food, it's time for dessert --- ice cream! I stuffed my ice cream bowl to max, LOL! My friends were impressed how full I can stuff my ice cream bowl :P


Birthday boy, Jason, and his gf, Moon, with his birthday cake. Although they haven't married each other, but I wish them live happily ever after and 白头偕老!

Like the yellowish effect in the photo

We bought him 2 shirts as his birthday present, see how happy he is... no need to go shopping for shirt d, lol!

We were 1 of the 2 tables in the restaurant that is not leaving despite of Lolipot's closing hour, hahaha! Lolipot staff was preparing to close the restaurant already, but we're still happily taking photos inside there, LOL!

Here comes the camwhore~





We were very full and satisfied. Thank you Lolipot!

Oh yea, our buffet dinner cost RM30++ per pax. Quite worthy if you order a lot of meat and fresh seafood!

Old story that strikes me long long time ago

While I was on my way to office this morning, some old and unhappy memory appears in my mind.

It's kinda old story actually, but I couldn't forget it, it gives me a very bad impression of some girl who is not important at all in my life. (She's definitely-already out of my life)

Bad impression because she insulted me in front of everyone (literally?)

Not important because I couldn't even recall the name.

It all happened during an university outdoor event, where the committee members asked me (a day before) if I can help out with the make-up team. So I said ok lo, since I know a little bit of make-up too. 

They told me that I don't have to bring my make-up, someone did. Ok (??).

Time: early in the morning 7~8am (??)

Venue: beside stage in shopping mall

Event: CNY dancing performance (??)

[I skipped all the long and boring story, go straight to the point.]

Well, I really had no idea what was the event, all I know was people asked me for help, then I go.

There's a girl, who act as the main make-up artist over there, was putting make-ups and chit-chatting with the girls (the dance performers). I called her Bossy.

So I was being nice, go introduce myself and asked Bossy how can I help her out. Very voluntary, right? 

Do you know what was her response?

She asked me to wait there (at a chair) while she see what I can do (wtf?).

And then, it's ignorant!!! She completely did not bother about asking me for help and leave me sitting there like some lonely loser who might ruin her precious make-up. 

I said it because she was telling the girls that her make-ups are all good quality and very expensive. (That's what I remembered)

Really, wth is wrong with this girl?

Although she might not able to read this, but I have a message for her *from the bottom of my heart*
"Hey biatch, if you cannot trust people to use your things and scared people ruin your expensive good make-up, why don't you just bring some cheap but good make-up? Or don't ask people to find you an assistant la? I'm not here to hear you showing off your make-ups, I also got expensive good make-ups!"

I was being patient and asked her again what I can do to help. Because that's why I'm there, right? 

Impatient, is what I can see from her. She finally told me to help one of the girls to draw her brows.

This is the first thing she asked me to do, I make it to the second and you'll know what happened.

Just as I thought, FML, it's a pair of unplug-thick brows!!!

I went "huh? her brows?", and she was like "yes." *speechless*

You cannot shaped thick-unplug brows with eyebrow pencil. It'll look horrifying.

But I was still a naive person and not dare to speak out, despite I'm already 20~21 at that time.

I don't want to make her even more impatient, so I drew the brows. Yes, the brows are tremendously horrible (at least for me).

That dancer almost cry. LMLO (笑到我甩肺) *guilty*

Obviously, you can imagine how the Bossy there reacted. 

Cannot imagine? Hint you with her dialogue leh: "YOOO, why you draw until like this?"

I'm sure she realised that the brows cannot be drawn at the first place so she asked me to undo the brows.

Why am I so sure? Good question (to myself XD

Because I think if she knows how to draw this kind of brows at the first place, she would show off and tell me how to do it, instead of stupid enough to ask me to undo it.

Maybe I thought her wrongly, maybe she's not stupid, maybe she just want me to fool myself in front of others, in order to give me 下马威

Now I think it's funny, but back then, I felt sad as if I did a bad job and feel like it's my fault (I did, but not my fault) and felt wronged at the same time.

She makes me felt bad about myself back then and she did put effort on that. (what a biatch)

There's worse. 

Next thing Bossy asked me to do was to put foundation on guys, so I head to the guys' place. 

I remembered I was holding her brow pencil in my hand after I undo the dancer's horrible brows.

And then I heard a shout: "STOP!" It's Bossy, "GIMME BACK MY EYE BROW PENCIL!" with her fierce eyes staring at me.


There, only I realised I was holding her eyebrow pencils in my hand after I undo the horrible eyebrows.

That's it!!! Deep down in my heart, I was very angry *furious* with how she response over an eyebrow pencil, like I'm going to steal her precious little eyebrow pencil from her!

I have reason if you ask me: Why are you holding her eyebrow pencil?

Like I said, I was naive back then, plus she make me felt bad about myself already, so when she asked me to do something, I went straight for it without second thought, and without realising her eyebrow pencil is still on my hand.

And she saw it and shout at me, because I'll steal her used-eyebrow pencil (like I don't have one of my own). *roll eye balls*

It's not like I mean she's wrong for taking her eyebrow pencil back, there's nothing wrong with taking your own things back, but, the way you took them back is important!

Saying: "You can return the eyebrow pencil to me if you're not using it anymore" *with a smile* sounds thousand times better than "STOP! GIMME BACK MY EYE BROW PENCIL!", right? 

Instead of making enemy, you get to make new friend. But it's too late, you're my long-forgotten enemy which is no more important *blek*

So I give back the eyebrow pencil to her and head to my guy friend to put on foundation for him.

The thing is, the foundation is 2 to 3 shades lighter then my friend's skin tone, so my friend will have fair face and dark neck area. So I planned to applied on his face and neck area so that it'll look more natural.

As I was applying the foundation on his face, Bossy came and complain on my work again

Without understanding what I'm planning to do, she asked why I make-up my friend until he's face and neck became 2 colours. FML!

My internal voice: "It's your foundation problem, not my problem!"

However, I think I ignored her that time and continued to apply foundation on my friend. She didn't say anything after that. 

Of course, I gave her back her foundation straight away, right after I finished using it on my friend.

Then I went off to inform the committee member about what happen. The committee member kept on apologised to me, but it's not their fault, it's Bossy!

I went for a walk in the shopping mall after that. *ran away from work*

Moral of this story, 
(1) Do not do whatever others asked you to do, give it a second thought before you start.
(2) Do not jump to a conclusion or judge people for their work, before you understand what they are doing.
(2) If you have doubt, speak out! 
(3) Speak nicely, else you get enemy... like me *evil loud laugh*

April Fool's Day 2011

Is really not my day!
Supposed to post this on last Friday >.<
What did I do on April Fool's day?

Overslept until noon
I wasn't aware it's noon already, cuz I turned on my air-cond last night, when I woke up, the room is cold (like morning cold), and there's no sun light shines through my window.
I thought it's still morning, since I didn't hear my alarm yet (at least I thought it is).
Until I saw the time on my HP!!! *WTF*
I didn't want to believe it's noon already~
I ran around my room, looking for my clock, again!!! *WTF*
I switched on my PC, looked at the time, shit.
I guess it's too comfy to sleep in air-conditioned room. *grumpy*

Late for technical sharing meeting
Since I already turned on my PC, I remote log in to my company PC.
I'm worried if there are request for my support, can't wait until I reach my office, I need to check my mail immediately. 
Wait, why is this has anything to do with late for meeting? Just in case you're wondering, you'll see why later, because my OUTLOOK HANGED!
If you use MS Office Outlook before, sure you know there's a calender inside right? I'm sure you all very smart to know this. 
If you don't know, let me tell you lo, when people want to schedule a meeting, they organize in Outlook calendar and send to you, when you receive it, it will appear straight away in your calendar, when meeting time almost reach, Outlook reminder will remind you 15 minutes before the meeting starts.
So I went to office to make sure it's not because of my remote log in causing the problem. IT'S NOT!!! My Outlook still hanged :(
So since my OUTLOOK HANGED, my Outlook reminder also... HANGED lo! So I don't know I got a meeting... until my colleague (one from my cubicle neighbourhood who doesn't involved in the meeting) asked me why I'm not in the meeting *open eyes wide*
so lazy to write, always want to PPS XD


Biking in the RAIN 
Yes, I'm a biker (in case you're wondering). Cool right? I'm always cool *sparkle wink*
I was on my way to office, and it's raining :(
At first, it was drizzling. I planned to head to petrol station first before I go to office, manazai the rain became heavier >.< 


NEARLY HIT a stray dog & nearly caught into ACCIDENT
I was in the hurry because of the rain, suddenly a white dog with plenty of burning spots on it's body ran really fast straight across the road. 
It successfully avoided other cars and bikes, and it was just in front of my bike (like 1~2 metres away only) O.o 
I screamed and hold the break really hard, until I can feel my bike running unstable, vibrating (??) right and left like it's going to crash. 
Yes, my bike is still moving even though I already hold the break, but slower and unstable.
And thank goodness, the dog ran really fast that it ran passed my front wheel... and it reached the other side of the road safely (I was looking at it while biking, reckless, dun learn this!)
The moment I hold the break, image of dead animals on the road and bike accident during my final year in UNI flashed through my mind, it was really terrifying... luckily both me and the dog are safe *sob sob* 

Anyway, 
HAPPY Belated APRIL'S FOOL DAY!
