'Fine' Dining

moo moo year is ending-u cannot imagine how relief I am (it's said that there's an absence of good fortune for d oxen in the year of the ox -not scientifically proven but i'm trusting it 99.9%).. as i browsed thru my pix (ok, i did dis occasionally for leisure purposes-stupidest hobby ever right?), i realized i had been to a lot of fine dinings throughout the moo moo year... 10 to be exact (more than that i guess coz for some, pix were not taken), which means d amount of $$ spent was not little!!!! anyhow, after gobbling up and paying-i feel HAPPY!!! shall we look at from where i gain all d fatssss...

Celebrated shi jing's graduation day at sakae sushi and dat's my favourite sakae salad!!!


Chai Xia Fong dropped me a visit at kampar and we had sushi king before she left. Kodomo bento/sushi king wasn't exactly my favourite but we can't expect much in that small lil' town.

It was before eleen's big day, I had my lunch with the other ji muiss at Dragon-i. Not bad-anything savoury is nice..

Lamb shank at Delicious-was superb!!!! omg, saliva dripping....

Kimchi soup at a korean shop in mid valley after frends' convocations. Initially, it was tantalizing but seemed to have deteriorated when i had it for d 2nd time...


Gelato fruity ice-cream is so far the yummy-est ice-cream... No milk, fruit only, in other words-fat free...


X'mas meal at tgi friday's, the gardens... i shared wif my partner-in-crime, very big portion (not cheap too)-no harm sharing...


Visited sakae sushi again, dis time in 1U during x'mas.


The ji muis reunited to visit a soon-to-be-mom (at that time). Had our dinner at Itallianes-looked-alike stall.


finally, the most recent visit to mid val for a shopping spree headed by my partner-in-crime. Pampered ourselves wif Chili's.

Old vs New


in a few minutes time, i'm going to dump my old pencil case(when i say old, it is OLD-has been my humble servant since lower 6-I can even write a Malay essay entitle 'Riwayat Hidup Sebuah Kotak Pensil'- into d dustbin.. nevertheless, it was my faithful companion throughout my uni year... i bought d new pencil case (which resembled the old 1) in December and has started using it since den, but i've just decided to dump d old 1... very reluctant, but have to do it else rubbish will pile up... sigh~
