Last Day of Jan 2013

Just welcome the New Year 2013 few weeks ago...... but it's come to the last day of January in this new year, what did you do for your 1st month of the year? >.< Really can't imagine how the time goes by......

Anyway, I will always enjoy my life with the lovely people in my life... Went for a dinner with my dear tonight at Dragon-i as he thought that I miss the 上海小龙包 a lot, that's why he suggested to go there. Yes, I did.... but this time ordered a set only instead of 2 ^^ We still ordered other meal like Dan Dan Mee, 牛河 and fried beans. Yummmmy...... Thanks a lot my dear, you do understand me~

Yummy Yummy~

Dinner at Dragon-i

After our full dinner, we walked around...... found out that there is a new space with Taiwan theme coming soon in Queensbay. Temporary is full with nice decorations ^^ Hehe, as you know, I like to take pictures for my own and nice things around me...... as memories, as records. After having fun there, we went to buy the Painting Numbers set which I wanted to buy for quite a long time. Don't ask me why, just wonder and wish to see the final result of the painting ^^ Let's see how am I going to do with the painting in coming post :P Haha!

How nice if can having a high tea during one free day ^^

I bought this for fun ^^ Haha! I will share my final result soon ^^

We went for Movie Time after shopping at 10.10pm, TAXI TAXI. The movie is quite funny~ Not bad. What I can realised from the movie is that 职业无贵贱 & 行行出状元...... Don't look down yourself and never look down yourself! Never give up in our life, just do our best to enjoy life and achieve our Dreams and Targets in mind ^^ Everyone has their own Story in Life~ You will never know the details & full details of someone else because you are not them...... Try to understand the situation at different angles so that you will know better ^^ Have a good day! Sweet Dreams~

Taxi Taxi ~ Taxi O Taxi.......

Sharing of Shopping *Groupon Apps*

I'm not sure since when I started using Groupon Apps in my mobile, I already addicted with it in my shopping life. Groupon is a website which dealing with a lot of Groupons for services & products like food and drinks, tools, massage packages, skincare products, facial treatment, travel packages and so on...... Enjoy with only "Click & Click" to settle the overall purchasing process or shopping, from viewing until delivering. SAVE $$ and Time~

$$
Not all the things are cheaper compare with it's competitors but some are really a lot cheaper than the others. Affordable & Reasonable pricing too ^^

Time
Easy steps which allow you to save more time for other important things in your life.

For me, I already fall in love with it as many things selling there are attractive ^^ Besides, I can always exposure to the latest information and things in the current trend and market, always up to date. You may never know there are such innovative products in the market until you see them via Groupon's advertising in the apps.

*Summary*
1. Fast & Easy.
2. Save Time.
3. Latest Information & Up to Date.
4. Affordable & Reasonable & Cheaper Price.
5. User Friendly Apps.
6. Many Different Choices.
7. Quality

*Nothing is Perfect in the World*
1. Some are still Expensive (Not all are cheaper compare with it's competitors).
2. Redeem Process (Some are complicated or some of them, Hardcopy is required).
3. Most of the Service Groupons are only available for 1st time user >.<
4. Too easy with "Clicks", not good if lack of self control.

Overall, the Apps is very good but the main thing is that you need to be strict to your own or Self discipline should be applied. By this, only you can fully utilise the apps, buy the "Needs & Wants" easily with only "Clicks". Haha! I think it's ONE of the apps I should share with you for your life convenience ^^ HAPPY SHOPPING!

REMEMBER: Control yourself, buy the things suitable for you, the things you really need or love. Don't simply Click & Click & Overspend!

Okay, back to the topic today... Happy Holiday & Happy Shopping ^^ Was busy with room cleaning and rearrangement again this morning. It's challenging to arrange & decorate a room nicely and comfortable if the room is full with things. You have to think the best way to keep all the things well and won't look messy with it. It's not an EASY task ^^ Have to plan well before doing.

In the evening, Ashlie came to fetch me out for our Girls Shopping Moment. After our late lunch or earlier dinner, we started our shopping time. Lol! Enjoy the moments of shopping with her, test the clothes and decide to buy or not to buy.... and lastly bought a lot of dresses and on sale items too. It's a wonderful day because I bought quite a lot of lovely clothes just now ^^ Already bought 50% for my CNY shopping list, will go for shopping again during next holiday ^^ Good night & Sweet Dreams~

OMG! Taxi fees in Penang really cost very very expensive! Two ways of short journey already cost me almost RM 30++ $$ fly~

Reached Hair Impression around 11.45 am and started the process of my new hairstyle *Colouring*Cut*Perming*Treatment* Thanks for my hairstylist of the day, pretty Nicole.

Dining with Ashlie at Heaven Gate

Yeah! It's my date with Ashlie again tonight, quite a long time didn't meet her up *Miss* We chose to have our dinner tonight at Heaven Gate...... again for me . It's first time for Ashlie.

We reached there around 7pm. Once again, feel the elegant and relax environment together with the suitable music ^^ The guy introduced their Set Dinner to us when we were looking at the menu for some times to choose for the main course. According to him, the set dinner included a soup, a special main course, WINE and desserts of the day cost RM70++. The price is affordable as it serves the special main course and Wine, but I forgot to ask how they serve the wine..... bottle? Glass? o.O I didn't ask because I didn't plan to take Wine tonight.

I ordered Fettuccine Carbonara (RM 16.90) & Peppermint Hot Chocolate (RM 8.90) and Ashlie ordered Apple Chutney Lamb (RM 39.90) & Peppermint Hot Chocolate too. As quite a long time didn't chat with her, very happy to share about recent life of each other. She just came back from her BKK trip (another shopping paradise), I wish to go too...... *Happy*Chatting*

My Carbonara taste creamy and yummy, but it's a bit more moisture for me *Delicious*I like Creamy* I think it will taste more delicious if the sauce dry a little bit more ^^ The lamb of Ashlie taste delicious too, special with it's Apple Sauce. Besides, there is side dishes in the plate like salads, potatoes and vegetables *Delicious*

Dinner tonight at Heaven Gate

Carbonara & Creme Brulee

Special Lamb & Chocolate Marble Cheese

After the main course, we decided to order desserts... OMG!!! No Tiramisu! I purposely went there to try tiramisu and ended up taking their Chocolate Marble Cheese Cake (RM 12.90)and Creme Brulee (RM 10.90) which recommended by the guy *Wonder if he the boss or manager there* Haha! The cheese cake is just ok and the Creme Brulee is nice *The egg's texture is smooth and rich* Remind me the Coffee Creme Brulee at 12 Cups ^^ By the way, do you like cheese cake? If yes, how do you judge the delicious level of the cake? o.O Full of cheese flavour? Texture? Taste? Please share as well if you know there is nice and delicious cheese cake out there ^^

My Creme Brulee of the Day ^^

After we finish our dinner tonight, we did comment on the comment card before leaving as we promised the guy when he asked that how we find the food and drinks in their restaurant. I wrote it based on my feeling. I believe everyone can improve better when they are willing to accept ideas and advices from others. Like this, only we can grow further and better. I just realized and learnt this with happily recently. You know? Many people like to listen good words or compliments instead of facts, I did as well. Only true friends and your family will tell you the truth although sometimes is not the words you would like to hear, but it's good to you, for your improvement and growing.....

Last but not least, we got a RM20 voucher with cheque design from Heaven Gate before leaving the restaurant. Had a good moment there ^^ Voucher giving means? I need to go and try my Tiramisu next round ^^ *Happy Birthday to the Birthday Girl today, Hoi Sim, wish all her dreams come true* Good nights~

Not to choose for the 2nd session which start at 8.30pm because we were hungry that moment and not planning to stay there till late night ^^

Anyway, it was a very RUSH buffet dinner tonight but both of us very enjoy ^^ Their buffet is Japanese Barbecue & Shabu Shabu style and offers a variety of choices on food. There is a counter serves for meat like beef, pork and lamb come in different flavours and types. There are few refrigerators contain different styles of food as well for Barbecue. There is also a lot of food for Shabu Shabu, all self service for the choosing of food ^^ Eat all you can! Besides, they provide a lot of dressing for Barbecue & some desserts too included cakes and ice creams.

It serves a lot of special food and drinks for dining & desserts as well. Like the speciality of the words using in their menu *Elegant*Sophisticated*

Back to the topic today, we made reservation before going as we went there during lunch hours. Their interior design is elegant with white theme as heaven, like the small sized of fountain decorations at the entrance with the special mirrors effect & combinations. *Love* Theme, Ancient Rome where you can see there are some angels and ancient drawings on the wall. Besides, I like their Rainbow bar concept ^^ *Just feel the colourful life at the peaceful heaven*

I ordered Lemon Tea & French Pocket Ham for my set lunch. Oppss! One more mushroom soup added. The guy advised me that the course will be served in a small portion only before I confirmed my order. I accept the offer~

The food served after 40 minutes of waiting. Love my Pocket Ham *Special*Cutie*Yummy* It served with special and taste delicious too ^^ Some vegetables & thousand island in the "Pocket" ham *Like* According to my colleague, their wine chicken is just normal, not that special & taste ok only. My mushroom soup also normal only for me *As I'm mushroom soup lover* 

May be the lunch is too rush for all of us this time, hence we were not fully enjoy the lunch. A bit wasted *Try to imagine you have to finish the Western Style main course and drinks within 15 minutes time, as well as the dessert >.< Anyway, their Dessert of the Day is special and delicious! Coffee Jelly served with milk *Yummy*

Dinner at Chai Diam Ma

It's my 1st working day in 2013 and we have new working hours in this new year... Thought can go home earlier but leave even later than usually do, due to responsibility >.< Ruined my mood...... Anyway, it can only made me down for the most 30 mins time, I will recover on time ^^ We must always with positive energy in our heart. Keep it up if you do ^^ Life will be better~

After working hours just now, thought to go Lighthouse again for the Italian dessert but sold out. A little bit disappointed & luckily, Nicole brought me to a new place near by for our dinner tonight. Sometimes, when something can't go on as planned, there must be another better choices waiting for you ^^ Just like my dinner tonight~

Tonight, I had my dinner with Nicole at Chai Diam Ma. Do you know what does Chai Diam Ma means? o.O It means 杂货店 (Grocery in English). It's pronounced as Chai Diam Ma in Hokkien, sounds special ^^ Besides the name, the environment there is special too, not to modern style but full with Vintage grocery feel. Other than vintage, it decorated with a lot of handmade stuffs too. Vintage & Special decorations in a mini shop. Quite like their environment *Feel* It's a good place for chit chat with close friends whole night while enjoying their food and drinks.

Chai Diam Ma 

Vintage Feel ^^

Like their design, like their environment, specially like their handmade menu's cover. They serve food and drinks like rice, spaghetti, pizza, snacks, juices, cakes, desserts and so on. We ordered Garlic Chicken Rice (RM19.00), Macaroni with Bacon & Mushroom (RM 16.00), Iced Chocolate blended (RM8.00), Honey Pumpkin (RM10.00) & Lemon Cheese Cake (RM9.00). Busy capturing the environment there and walked around while waiting for our orders.

The food is not bad. If you like garlic, Garlic Chicken Rice will be a good choice as the rice full with "Strong" garlic taste but the chicken is a little bit dry for me. *As I'm the person who like sauce* Macaroni taste good, will be more delicious if got more cheese on top. *As I'm a cheese lover* What I like the most tonight is my Honey Pumpkin ^^ *Special*Creative*Healthy*Yum Yum*
