Last Day of 2012 ~Appreciate ~

It's Lighthouse again, with Ewin again...... same people, same time, same place, same food and drinks...... you must wonder why I always go there, haha! The food, the feel, the environment there I should say......warm & comfortable.

I was there again just now, during the last day of the year 2012, for New Year Eve. How are you going to celebrate your new year eve? Countdown again? Party? Clubbing? Or accompany your family? For me, I just had some drinks with my colleague after working hour.

Once again, we ordered the same dessert "Panna Cotta" but no Tiramisu this round. The Whiskey taste is stronger this time, different feeling. I love it too. Just like Christmas eve which just past few days ago. We were enjoyed our desserts tonight and the sharing of life, enjoy the last day of 2012 ^^

Home Sweet Home *Dec 2012*

Just came back from home town after few days of Recharging Holiday at my Sweet Sweet Home ^^

Was very enjoyed my holiday at sweet sweet home this round, eat mummy's delicious homemade dishes, golden moments with parents and siblings, as well as popo, and the cool weather there. Fully recharged! Is ready for new challenges on coming new year ^^

Actually, it's just a very simple routine of the day like my non-working day but it's sweet, full with love and appreciation. Enjoy every moments I spend with all of them....... Thanks for mummy's homemade dishes & Specially thanks my dear Stephy for all the Special & Wonderful hairstyles you did for me & my hair ^^ *Specially Love* I read this from a book last year *Spend the time with the one who worth it* I almost fully understand this after going through the days especially the feeling of "miss". The true meaning of "Worth" here~

Yummy home dishes from lovely mummy

Home Sweet Home 

The lovely Mashed Potatoes made by all of us ^^ 

My 1st try on this kind of hair designs

Specially love...... thanks my dear ^^

From my recharging holiday, I learnt, I knew, I realized and I understand better. I will try to change myself or so call "improve" myself from time to time. For some attitude, I know it's hard to change as people already used to what they usually be, but please believe me, I will be better because of all of you who are always supporting me in my life ^^ Just give me more time ^^ Besides, love the things I should and ignore the things I shouldn't care about.

Enjoy my life all the time and learn to appreciate. *Appreciate the moments & the people in your life* 

Never give yourself a chance to regret.

Merry Christmas 2012 !!!

***MeRrY ChrIsTmaS***

I love today as today is Holiday ^^ I thought I will be lonely at home and facing my handmade stuffs or drama today, but the day was surprised with the accompany of my dear. Thanks dear! So happy that you came over to date with me on a special day. *Love*Appreciate*

Dear brought me out for my favourite Cendol Ice at Penang road and I wanted to eat Laksa as well. Hmmm, may be too crowded this afternoon and both food and drinks are not delicious as what I usually eat. A little bit disappointed, should go on normal day? >.< 

Merry Christmas!

Famous food and drinks in Penang

After the late lunch, we were heading to Strait Quay for a short walk...... the traffic was normal and not jam as expected. Found a special Christmas Tree made by using books... *Creative* Walked by Charlie Brown Cafe and had some fun with the wallpaper outside the shop. Love the moment of dating in a lovely environment ^^

Poured out the Sticky cake and added up with Ice Cream & Caramel, made it delicious.... *Yummy* Have to taste it slowly, you will find it *delicious* ^^ Eat the sticky cake & ice cream together, you will find the melting feeling in the sticky cake, taste more yummy with the special taste of Caramel.

Christmas Eve of 2012

It's Christmas Eve today, how are you going to celebrate your Christmas Eve and Christmas tomorrow? Are you going for countdown event later? ^^ For me, just had dessert time with Ewin just now before coming home. Great desserts together with Great Music & Environment~ please stay tuned......

Before sharing about my Christmas Eve tonight, will first share about my Pre-celebration of the Christmas~ with my colleagues and my dear. Let's share with you~

The earliest pre-celebration was the Christmas Gift Exchange with my colleagues in the office on 19 Dec 2012. As talked in previous blog, our exchange style is PICK the person first, ONLY we buy the gift. Cost fixed at RM20. As supporting to Greenlife and Recycle, we also fixed to use recycle wrapping paper or newspaper will be acceptable. *Save Cost & Environment* After the giving of gift to the person selected, and wished "Merry Christmas" to everyone, we had fun with the rabbit hair band bought by Nicole. Haha! Enjoyed the moments like this with all of them~ 

With my Pinky Nail that day, together with my preparation for Christmas Gift ^^

All the gifts ^^ Recycle Papers was not that attractive >.< I got a cutie cup with cover from Fiona *like*

My present for Fiona~ hope she will like it~ *with handmade card & some DAIM chocolates as well*

The second pre-celebration was the dinner at La Mei Zi with my dear, thanks for the *Big Surprise* !!! You really sent me a *Big Surprise & Romance* My lovely "Big Patrick" in the box!!! I love it very much and I love you very much too, my dear! For me, I was prepared the Christmas gift much earlier for him, which is a Boxing Set purchased from Groupon. Hope he will like it too! For your *Hobby*Health*Exercise*Gym* Muakz~ 

My New Member *PATRICK* come with a lovely big box *Big Enough*

Boxing Set for him to train to be stronger *haha* Merry Christmas to my dear~

Both of the above are Pre-celebration for Christmas and today is the Christmas Eve. As traffic jam out there, dear was unable to drive here as I also not agree that he drive for at least 2 hours time to meet me. So, I went for Dessert & Drinks with Ewin at Lighthouse Coffee after working hours. Like their Christmas decorations there, make us feel the Christmas Eve~ *Warm* We ordered their Christmas Special *Seasonal Signature Beverage Paring* which offers two types of different sets & we chose for *Dilmah premium Earl Grey tea serve with green apple and icy Scottish Whisky**Paring with house made Toffee Panna Cotta and passion fruits sauce* Besides, we ordered their Tiramisu as well.

The Christmas Set with the add on Tiramisu

OMG!!! It's really very very delicious! *Thumbs up*
For Tiramisu, delicious as I ate last time *today feel more for rum*
For Icy Earl Grey, special and nice *Nice tea matched with green apple & whiskey**Drunk* >.<
For Toffee Panna Cotta, it's Super delicious! *Sweet in the heart**L.O.V.E*

Like the glass, like the Christmas Feel~

Enjoyed the moment of Christmas Eve 2012 with Ewin at a very nice environment. *Love the environment at lighthouse*Love their Christmas Songs*Love their Christmas Decorations*Love their Christmas Special Beverage & Desserts*Love the girls moment of sharing*Love the photography session* A day full with LOVE. *Miss my family and wish them Merry Christmas too* (with call & sms)

Food Trip Weekend At Taiping

Had wonderful moments during my weekend! Full schedule from Friday night until Sunday night... Happy moments with my dear and the girls ^^ 

Once again, La Mei Zi Steamboat at Crystal Point last Friday, this time was with my dear. No more set, we ordered A La Carte this time. Hehe, just simply tick tick tick, we already ticked for 15 dishes~ Anyway, it's different feeling of eating the whole set of favourite food ^^ Super full!!! Very happy and enjoyed the dinner with my dear~ Happy Friday ^^ 

A la Carte, my favourite mushroom, vege, beef, cheese ball and so on~

A small table full with food~ dinner with happiness

Skipped my Saturday as Saturday used to rest for whole day due to not enough sleep recently or since working o.O Haha! Since I started my working life, really feel that 24 hours is really not enough for me!!! I need more time to have enough sleep, more time to accompany my love one and more time for my own to enjoy my life ^^ I need more time please~

Okay, back to the topic today! It's my Sunday's schedule, a special food trip with my girls aka colleagues at Taiping & Kuala Sepetang. We started our journey from Juru around 10.30am in the morning. Ewin as our driver for this trip *Specially thanks Ewin* We reached Taiping an hour later. First of all, had our breakfast at the famous foodcourt there, a lot of food and drinks! We ate Jawa Mee, 鸡丝河粉 and 四果汤 as our late breakfast ^^ Yummy~ After that, went for 太平荳水餐室 for 凉粉豆奶 as our target "豆花" SOLD OUT. Later on, we went for Cendol Ice at the famous stall introduced by Ewin... once again, our Target "Pulut & Kacang" SOLD OUT, so we just had the simplest Cendol Ice ^^ The taste is different from the one I ate in Penang and Kampar~ May be it's Taiping Style. Haha~

Jawa Mee, 四果汤 & Cendol Ice for our breakfast & tea time

After our full tea time, we had some fun at Taiping lake. Just walk around and captured some pictures there, like the windy day of the day and the environment there *Calm & Relax* It's a nice place for jogging too!  I like the trees there! Giant trees~ Nice Scenery! After an hour we spent at Taiping lake, we went to the hotel nearby and had a look with their Sky Bar. lol. In the cleaning process, can't enjoy that at the moment >.<

Girls of the day ^^ Clover, Nicole and Ewin 

We were heading to Kuala Sepetang for our late lunch around 3pm. Had curry mee, laksa, 晕头冰 and Ice Kacang 红豆冰 there. Yummy~ The curry mee is delicious! Long time didn't eat this kind of Ice kacang already, nice too! After that, we went to the 十八丁海上海鲜餐馆 for our seafood hunting trip. OMG!!! No Crab! How come?!? This is the main purpose we had this trip, how come the main character *CRAB* is not available? Haiz~ Ewin was very down when she knew that there is no crab supply just now, pity her~ Anyway, we ordered some simple seafood like 八爪鱼 and 刺螺， together with 腐乳炒油麦. The octopus is fresh and the Vege is very delicious ^^ Yummy~ but it can't replace the loss of No Crab~ Haha! Anyway, perhaps there is Big Crab for our next food trip......

Enjoy Life ^^

After our full meal, we were heading back to Autocity and we shopped around. Nicole and I spent a lot there, bought a set of hair curler & hair dryer and some haircare products. lol. Spent for almost RM200 per person! OMG, have to stop shopping soon and save money for CNY Shopping! Haha! I reached home around 10pm. Had a great trip with the girls today although there is No Crab. Anyway, hopefully another food trip is coming soon~ Good night everyone~

Heading back to Autocity ^^

Christmas Gift & December's Pick

So happy to hear that we are going to have the Thanksgiving celebration in the office this year! I never try this before with my colleagues in my working life >.< That's why quite excited! Although I'm very excited in joining this kind of activity but actually it's difficult too when choosing a gift, a suitable & lovely gift for someone... Hmm.... How do you think? Pick someone first and only you prepare the gift for the person selected? Or prepare the gift first only you pick the person randomly? Which you prefer? Or you got any new ideas of exchange? >.< 

For us, we pick our "lucky" person ONLY we prepare the Christmas gift for the person selected ^^ Here is the main problem comes. My lucky person is my team member, "her". What should I buy for her? Should be something I like? She like? Or something I think she likes to own? lol. A lot of choices in my mind which is suitable for a lady, but is she like it? Or I should buy something I think she would like to have? OMG!!! Really a difficult question for me >.<

I'm quite worry that I choose a wrong thing for her and I hope she will be loving what I give her = what she wish to have ^^ Besides this, should it be something useful for the lucky person or it should be something memorable? Another hard question for me. Should be my own handmade? *Meaningful* Or something suitable for her?

Finally, decided to grab something suitable for a lady, as well as "her" in Skinfood. It has been a very long time since I shopped in Skinfood. Happy shopping in Skinfood with Ashlie yesterday after our full dinner! Once again, I think I fall in love with Skinfood after few years time. Besides the gift for my colleague, I bought a lot of things for my own as well like Soft Hand Essence, Hand Lotion, Nail Vita & Eye Shadow. *Free a Skinfood 2013 Calender* *Nice & Sweet* *Love it*

My Skinfood Trophies~ with a lovely 2013 Calender

Hehe, think of it's the time to protect my hand and give "them" some essences so I bought some hand cream and lotion. For nail vita, it's too sweet for me to buy ^^ The colour is too lovely! *Light Pinky* One more, *My Short Cake Eye Shadow*, it's very nice to apply! *Nice colour & Easy to apply* Happy Shopping yesterday at skinfood and happy skincare!

Calender with vouchers attached, Hand Essence, Hand Cream, Nail Vita & Eye Shadow

Happy Shopping in Skinfood ^^

Gathering with Ashlie at Restaurant La Mei Zi 辣妹子

Planned to meet up with Ashlie last Thursday for dinner but delayed until tonight. Happy that no more delay and we went for dinner at Restaurant La Mei Zi 辣妹子 at Crystal Point. We arrived around 7.15pm and straight away ordered as we already very hungry. Hehe.......luckily no traffic jam on the way......

La Mei Zi is a restaurant for steamboat. The environment there is more to white and chinese style designed. Just a simple and comfortable environment for me. Look at the menu, we first decided the soups we want... which are the famous Duck soup 老鸭汤 and for spicy choices... finally we decided Spicy soup 麻辣汤 cause Ashlie said TomYam seem like quite normal and the others as recommended with a fish inside where 2 of us must be unable to finish. 

The chinese style decoration

So, we ordered for Duck and Spicy soups, a set of the steamboat meal and later on added up a plate of Fish Cheese Ball. For drinks, we chose Leong Shui of La Mei Zi, cooked by using a lot of herbs. While waiting for the soups to boil, I kept on capturing all the pictures but stopped that once the soups is hot enough >.< Quickly put all the ingredients in the soups and waited for eating ^^ Hungry ma......

Snack and our drinks, La Mei Zi Leong Shui

Waiting~ Hungry~  Enjoyed the steamboat dinner

Our steamboat set and the Duck Soup (left) and Spicy Soup (Right)

Spicy soup with a lot of chillies >.<

Yummy!!! I love the Duck soup! 清甜 taste with some sour, I love it! For the spicy soup, is not that spicy as what we expected, but still acceptable. We were enjoyed the steamboat, ate and chat around. Like the moment of eating and sharing of life with Ashlie, talking about life recently and future plans. Life is just Left or Right, depends on what you decide and choose to moving forward~ Different ways give you different life in future, choose carefully and never regret ^^ Both of us are enjoy our current life as well~ Dinner tonight cost us around RM90.00.

After eating, as what girls like the most, we hunted for dessert. We went to Queensbay for desserts as I can't recall the BlackBalls outlet at Queensbay and ended up we can't get Blackballs and finally went for J.Co again. Haha! Really can't recall the outlet's location~ OMG. After yogurt ice cream, thought to get the Chritmas exchange gift done before going back and we went in Skinfood. Haha! Terrible! Both of us bought RM100++ in the shop before they closed, just in 20 minutes time. Lol. Shopping time really forget everything and only know to shop! I love shopping! I think it was years ago for my last purchase in Skinfood and I think I fall in love once again with Skinfood..... Am I? >.<  Anyway, bought some lotions, hand creams, nail polish and eye shadow... got some testing sample from the male promoter as well. Besides, got their 2013 calender with some vouchers attached, like the vintage and sweet designs of the calender~

Desserts tonight *J.Co Yogurt Ice Cream* with almonds, Kit Kat & Nada De Coco

My New Picks ! Skinfood products~ will share more in coming posts ^^ 

I reached home around 10.30pm and many thanks to Ashlie for our dinner together & the laichee rambutan. Haha! Love the dinner and gathering tonight ^^ Hope there are more dinner or tea time together....... Keep in touch! Thanks for having the great moments together~

Dinner with My Lovely Family at Siriwan Thai Seafood Restaurant

I got a call from my dear brother around 5.30pm today and I was surprised with his call! He told me that he was just checked in the hotel near my area with my dear mummy and siblings. I was very happy and faster get all my things done before leaving the workplace. Quickly rushed to the hotel to meet them up. While on the way to meet them, was just thinking where is the good place I should bring them for dinner. Thought to bring them for Thai food at Khunthai but it's quite far and coincidently I saw another Thai Food restaurant near by that area when I stopped at the traffic light ^^ How lucky am I? >.<

I was decided to bring them for a Thai food dinner at Siriwan Thai Seafood Restaurant. The shop is decorated with traditional thai styles, carving. We were hungry when looking at the attractive menu, full with special thai food ^^ After flipping the menu for few minutes, we decided to order the Set D in their menu which included Tom Yam Seafood (My favourite food), green curry, 3 flavours fish, Fried squid, Kelabu mango salad, a vege and deer meat. The set and drinks cost around RM250.00.

Overall, we were enjoyed the dinner, especially the TomYam Seafood and Kelabu Mango Salad. I was super enjoyed the moments with them, such a happiness moment! *Big hug with loves* Mummy and I are the one can stand for more spicy food compared with my siblings ^^ Haha! It's a Happy Dinner for me tonight! I love them very much! 

After the dinner, thought to go for a famous movie in the town recently "The Life Of Pi" but not the right time. So, I brought them for a relax dessert moment at J.Co, Queensbay for my favourite dessert, Yogurt Ice Cream. I planned to introduce the yogurt ice cream to mummy when her last visit to Penang but failed. Hehe! Finally! She was able to try this special "Yogurt Ice Cream" and she *love* it too as I do. Happy Happy! I love mummy and my dear sis & bro. Thanks for a special surprise tonight. Muaks! I will love you all more and more~ Goodnight~ *Big hugs for them*
