Mid of November

打工仔的日子几乎都一样的。。。

# Have been working for 1.5 months~ Time flies...everyday was pretty similar for me, awaiting weekends and anticipating for public holidays, where I do not need to wake up at 6am in the morning and drove for 45 minutes to my workplace~ 

# Had been given a good escapade opportunity but it's just vanished out of my sight due to my unintelligent response...will share it in my final post for 2012...

Convo-KL Trip Part 3

Kinda forgot the sequences and details of the photo after a month...so just sharing some of the items I took~

Upon reaching Jalan Alor, we put our luggage in the hotel and went across the street to eat.

I had Claypot mee and cincau red bean as lunch.

Bought Gui Ling Gao for supper and dessert along the Jalan Alor at  RM3

Spotted a new outlet 菠萝仔 selling Polo Bun at Sungei Wang

the bun not as nice as I thought..the buttery taste wasn't strong enough

Breakfast time~

fish porridge

wantan mee

Visited Ming Kee (famous for the char siew) at Jalan Alor for brunch...the coffee shop is just situated beside Hotel Nova...

Mum and grandma always crave for coffee every morning whenever they go

The chicken rice wasn't nice at all...They should use fragrance rice to make it taste and look good...The chicken was rather tender and juicy.

Steamed chicken and char siew for RM8.50/person...the char siew was really nice and juicy as they used 3 layer meat for it... 

grandma's ginger chicken with rice

kailan with oyster sauce

frog porridge

Last dinner at Jalan Alor before we headed to LCCT back to Kuching

bittergourd, steamed eggs and chicken

Bought 20kg luggages for 3 persons but at the end it was all over-over weight...end up we had to carry the excessive bags our own...

Simplicious Restaurant & Bar, Sakae Sushi, Zen Q

#1 Simplicious Restaurant & Bar

A more upscale dining place located in Pisang Road...service was fast and staffs were kinda friendly...but the foods there were just okay for me.

 70% doneness lamb shoulder with black pepper sauce RM28

spaghetti aglio olio RM20...average and so so only..

Bella Italia serves the best pasta in town~~

pan fried salmon RM 30

see the tiny and stingy portion of salmon..salmon not cheap~~.and personally I think the salmon was not that fresh...

#2 Sakae Sushi, The Spring

New Japanese Foods outlet in town! The menu offerings was same with those Sakae in Peninsular.

Beef Ramen...yummy..the soup was nice and beef was tender 

My favourite sushi 3 in 1...Unagi, Tamago and Salmon &

Sakae Signature Dragon Roll...where the top of sushi was lined with Avocado~~but not that nice though

#3 Zen Q Desserts

Third visit!

Zen Q Shaved Ice

Create your own...this time with Matcha Ice Base~~

Convo-KL Trip Part 2

Checked in a boutique hotel...Apple Hotel @Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang area

Family room 

(consists of one queen size bed and one single bed). The room was even smaller than I thought.

Small bathroom...even the water leaked out from bathroom after shower and wet the floor and our belongings =(

Apple shaped basin...but no water came out when we opened the paip =( 

Kinda disappointed with the service and facilities ..only 1 plug in the room...so you can imagine one plug is used for phone charging, hair dryer, kettle for boiling water at the same time...Some more there is no cup/glass provided although I requested it from receptionist, so it's hard as imagine someone need to use glass to have the medication. So judge your own when you consider this hotel...don't expect too much facilities from them.

Jalan Alor...Happening street...every night crowded with people and cars

Next was my Convocation gifts...

#1 

chocolate and postcard from USA from my direct junior, Sandra...didn't expect her to turn up actually

#1 

 Sandra and I

#2

A Fanta drink and bear from junior, Cheryl.

#3

A display can from Fui Ying, my ex-roommate...I didn't expect her to turn up either. She wanted me to invite her for my wedding, but pretty sure she will have hers earlier.

#3

#4

Sunflower and bear from my lovely 4 roomie (Yan Shin, Lee Eng, Jia Ying & Hong Shi)...Miss the moments hanging out with them!

#4

424 brought us together

#4

Handmade card from them...but the rain wet the card and spoiled the artwork

#5 

Roses and bear from him. Earliest gifts that I received. Somehow the first gift was costly. The roses was perfect as my accessories for my studio photo shooting while the bear was taken by Queenie.

#6

The presents...And also one banquet of flower and bear from parents...

My coursemate happened to come Kuching before our convocation so I asked her to take my regalia in UPM and brought it to Kuching so that I can take graduation photo with the whole family! Took a few surveys and ended up I chose Lumiere Pictures as the price was that high and the flexibility. Not that satisfied with the outcome of photos though but the shooting team was friendly and nice.

Someone offered me his bear...

The siblings and the Queen

Grandma, mum and dad

There were nine of us until all of us needed to stand in a line as they didn't have proper and nice chair for shooting. Queenie never let the tiny bear off from her hand =)
