| Penang Trip |

Went to Penang with darling last Friday and came back on Sunday nite.. The motive of the trip was to pay respect to my grandparents, grandaunts n etc. We ended up eating like there's no tomorrow!

We stayed at G Hotel.. It's called a boutique hotel cuz everything there is all about the designs n decorations. We were at the Executive Standard room at first, but it was such a small room with no bathtub! We then upgraded ourselves into Executive Suite.. It was sooo much bigger n also with bathtub.. The space in the suite can make 3 of the executive standard room. I wonder how is the size of the normal standard room.

Staying in executive floor has a special lounge where u are served drinks 24hrs. They even have breakfast n cocktail for free.. The drinks in the room mini bar is also complimentary.. All the staff there recognize their customers in the exec floor!!! They greet u by ur name.. Cool isn't it? I'm happy with the service there n would like to go back there again.. (You see this, darling?? )

Well, nothing much except eating n eating... Went to Khoo Kongsi. The carvings r superb n they maintain it well.. Bravo for maintaning the building/heritage well! Also went to Kek Lok Si but it was already closed. Din get the chance to go up to the pagoda..

Vday

my previous post was about how im gonna celebrate vday... but it turned out abit different than what ive predicted. after blogging went out for lunch with him.. had McD's... then came back to my house and watch tv.. then i decided to cook for dinner.. steak. i went to get something from OneU and bought the stuff to cook.. then he wanted to find SenHeng to buy his TV. so we went to Selayang Mall.. when we reach SenHeng, looking at the rundown shop in the mall, he din wanna get it from there.. and we found out that SenHeng is actually the same with SenQ... he wanted to go to Tesco KD to get his TV but i told him to go later or next day as the beef in the car would get bad. then we came back home... marinated the beef, then watch tv again... till it was dark and i start to cook. i only cook the steak and made green salad. after dinner he still couldnt get over his TV and we got nothing to do so we went to Tesco and he bought his TV in less than 15mins time! back to home watching tv again til i fall asleep....! thats my vday! doesnt it sound like old couple?

i made reservations @ TenJi awhile ago.. and this day finally arrived.. i was excited to go hearing all the good comments from people.. wondering how great or special it is.. reach there, had to queue 10mins even i had reservations.. the place was nice.. but i was disappointed as it was nothing great bout it.. the variety of food is not as wide as Jogoya. the service was also not as good.. u had to queue up to get that popular palm size fresh osyters as they open and wash it right in front of you... they don put out the coconuts as well.. u have to queue up or open ur mouth to ask for it.. as they were kept inside. they offered Haagen Dazz icecream. so being malaysians, knowing that it is expensive icecream, the queue was superbly crazily long! theres nothing more i can say about TenJi... it wasnt great at all! i still prefer Jogoya... so peeps who missed out the promotion @ Tenji, don worry... u din miss out much.. 

New Year?

Happy Chinese New Year

honestly, whats so great bout this holiday? to me, its just another Sunday.. reunion dinner? yeah it was ok.. 1st reunion dinner at this new house. steamboat.. im quite proud with myself actually for hosting quite a good steamboat dinner. other than the dinner, 1st day went to Klang to visit my dads cousins' house and also my aunty at WangsaMaju. well, its just another Sunday to me... nothing so great or special. the amount of ang pows collected are decreasing year by year. 

house was so quiet the past few days.. ms Oon and mr Oh went back to their hometown.. therefore the noise in the house is reduced by 70%! ms oon, when r u CUMing back to your 2nd home? mr oh, was just here. he came right after he came back from his hometown! he misses DPC as well!
