It's TGI Saturday's @ Pavilion

I told KK we were going to celebrate his belated b'day, for I
realised that we hadn't been celebrating his special day for quite some time now.

So "Charm", right? So, I took the initiative to organise a party for him!

I then tried to gather as many friends as possible by posting a message on Facebook.

Well, it turned out to be quite inefficient as there were only 2 people who responded, sadly.
They were Choy and Le Sze, who are obviously FB's big fans or as I would call them "people who have too much time to spare." :b

I waited and waited. No new replies. So, I texted the others on Friday, which apparently
was too late for them to cancel their initial plans.

Thus, only four of us turned up.

It's embarassing for me to say that I was late that day due to overnapping. *pai seh*

When I got there, the 3 of them were in the mid of finishing their main courses.

Well, it was TGI Saturday's for us that day as we celebrated our buddy's BIG day
last Saturday @ Pavilion KL. *yay*

Since age is not so important for guys, I can say that he's now 27! So old dy...Haha.

Yum Yum...here comes the best part of the meal!
Mini desserts:
Introducing Mocha Latte & Oreo (below)!


Yes, that's my bulky wallet I'm holding.
You know what it means, "Waiter, Bill please."


My bro (Below: Right: Wai Yen)

Wonderin' why they look so busy?
Look again...Something is keeping 'em occupied - it's always 'bout the $$! *che ching*
(Gee, can you see what they're using to calculate such small amount of $$? tsk tsk..) :b


KK was asked to make a wish

When he stepped into TGI, he didn't know what awaited him...a BIG surprise!

The surprise came when we were about to leave...and he was caught by surprise.

"KK's in the house!" a staff shouted loudly.

The b'day boy was asked to stand on a chair, with his shoes on, so that the limelight
would be on him.
A staff then passed a bottle of ketchup to act as a mike.
KK was asked to sing a song for us...
but he gave a short speech instead!

"What!?" I said to myself.

"KK, sing, you're asked to sing a song!" I cheered.
He was stoned.
"...I don't know how to sing."

The magic sentence had let him escaped from singing a song for us...huhuhu...*no fair*

Then, we sang "Happy B'day to you..." in English version.

"In Chinese! Ju ni sen je kuai le..." we all sang.

He blew off the candle, ate the ice cream cake and we left.

The Big Apple

NEW YORK CITY
0 °C - 9 °C

"Ahhh….New York City!", most may exclaim as they step on the soil of the huge metropolitan for the very first time.

However, nothing really amazed me, just yet.

It’s the third day I’m in the big city, which is full of branded boutiques (ranging from Levi’s to Coach), delis, authentic hotdog mobile stalls and beautiful people clad in beautiful winter clothings (despite it being spring season now).

It’s the third day I’m in this big city & that’s also how long Onn’s been sick. Poor him.

The wind chilled my tiny bones as I walked out from Newark airport at around 8sth pm last Saturday. It was 6 °C.   According to Daphne (Onn’s sis-in-law), it was warm last week & the weather got colder this week (which is not supposed to be) and what surprised me most when I was watching the news on TV was, it snowed heavily in Texas!

I mean, everybody knows that Texas is hot all year round. The weather has changed horribly. It signifies the coming of Armageddon.

The question is, are we ready to face it? What can we do to delay the process? Think and act now!

Ok, we (including Alex & Daphne) got up early on Sunday to have a shopping spree at Woodbury outlet (where you can find really good bargains on branded goods like Coach, AX, Guess, Kenneth Cole, Seiko, and so many other brands).

Ooo La La~ Before our spree, we fueled up at Ihop (where they serve authentic American food - hotdog, bacon, crepe, chips, omelette, etc.)…drooling yea? ~ Yummy.

However, I didn’t manage to finish my food as the portion was huge! We had to wait to be seated as the restaurant was overcrowded but, we needn’t have to wait too long tho’.

The very thing I love about America is their extremely good services & not to mention - their politeness. It makes me think now — why do foreigners think that M’sians are friendly, warm & polite?
Hmmm…hmmm…Easy answer!

It’s because M’sians regard foreigners as GOD or more superior. We really look up to them aye? Sure, they’re tall, fair, what else…? Hmm…Nothing superior.

We reached Woodbury at noon (that was the time they open on Easter Day) & completed our bargain hunting at 4.30pm.

Well, doubtlessly, I bought lots of stuff (I think I saw tears in Onn’s eyes) as he carried more and more shopping bags. Haha…kiddin’!

We had to endure the chilly wind as we got into one outlet to another.

Okay, that’s all for now…Shower time.

Onn booked tickets for the "Bodies Museum" at 11.45am today.
And, it’s now almost 9am.

"Bodies Museum", which I watched on the TV in M’sia, is a museum that exhibit complete, real human bodies attached with veins, bones and inner organs.

Yea, the first time I saw it on TV, it really grossed me out. How would it be like to have a first hand experience? Errmm…I’ll tell you about it…

TO be cont’…

got to finish it)

Andaman, Langkawi

So there I was
looking all so beach-y
with cool shades on
'cos I was in Andaman, Langkawi baby!
It was the best getaway/pre-honeymoon
so far

The acclaimed Andaman hotel nestles high up on a hill
with tropical rainforest surrounding it
And the beach is just steps away from your room
How cool's that?

It's a 5-star hotel so you can expect top-notch services

You get to have DVD player in your room
DVDs are hotel complimentary
But don't expect to get Transformers 2
At least they have Jurassic Park 2

Oh, monkeys of different species are at your reach
They love to hang out at the parking areas
Just sightseeing, you know
And play like monkeys do!

The lobby is so serene and spacious
There's a lounge
There's a band in the evening
Playing beautiful tunes

There's a souvenir shop
which sells beautiful, high quality items
Hats, keychains, necklaces, dresses
But whoa, the prices are as 'good' too!

Our room overlooked the jungle
But we never opened the windows
'cos we were afraid hairy visitors with long arms
might get into the room
and make a mess!



The room was wonderful!
The deco was simple and nice
There's so much space
you can invite a large group of party animals
to shake their 'whatevers'


On the way up to the hotel
Saw a few bird watchers with their binoculars
dangling around their necks

If you're a nature lover
There's a nature guide
if you concern for your safety
There's morning and night tour

I won't say the beach is all that clean and
beautiful
but it's nice to flip-flap your way
along the white sandy beach

Or you can just go for a dip in the large hotel pool!
The hotel has one
no worries
but I didn't get the chance to have a swim
for I was busy exploring the nature
and Langkawi

If you're in Langkawi
make sure you don't miss out
this place
BARN THAI


This Thai restaurant
is set in the heart of a huge mangrove
and is said to be the first in the world
to have this concept

Now, the trail to the restaurant
is made of wooden planks
So if it pours when you're there
Be careful of your steps
It can be very slippery

You know what's amazing?  
I saw two woodpeckers at the mangrove
The first time ever
That's why I can never forget Barn Thai
because I love Woody Woodpecker cartoon! (this is random)

It's very easy to get around "the Jewel of Kedah"
Rent a car!
Grab a map
You won't get lost
It's a small island :)
But we found out that it wasn't 'that' small after all
after a few rounds of driving

Btw, we rented a Nissan Sentra for 3D/2N for RM300 (for your info)

I heard that there's a more spectacular hotel located in nearby area
called the DATAI Langkawi
The price is, of course, higher than what you pay for a
Andaman room
