Can’t Live Without Internet *Giggle*

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Can’t Live Without Internet *Giggle*

I used to bring my laptop along with me when I travel to ensure that I can easily find a place for Internet access. I’m sure I’m not the only one doing so ;p

I went to Singapore with Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, I swapped my phone with my brother. My aunt’s place didn’t have Internet so I had to find Internet connection whenever I’m out to check my blog, e-mails, and so on. Thought I could register for free WiFi available in Singapore but I couldn’t as my SIM card wasn’t belong to any Telco in Singapore. So my friend let me used his account.

I had a bit of difficulty using the phone because I was not familiar with it. Typing with it was quite hard especially when I need to key in the password for the WiFi, it’s long, it’s alphanumerical, and it’s case sensitive. Basically, it’s only used for Internet access, not phone calls, SMSes, or MMSes as I was on roaming and we had a Singapore number.

This time, I’m going to KL with Samsung i8510 INNOV8. It’s also my bro’s phone, he sold off his Nokia and then he got Sony Ericsson w995. I thought I would be using this for my KL trip but he sold it off again to get a Samsung.

I’m bringing two phones with me. Samsung is for the Internet. I have my Celcom Broadband SIM card in there so that I do not have to hunt for free WiFi even though the place I’m staying provide free Internet but I just don’t want to lug that bulky laptop with me. Then my old trusty Sony Ericsson K800i will be my phone.

How good is this Samsung? I have no idea ;p This post was written days ago before my trip but it’s a bit hard to navigate as I’m not used to it.

The again, I don’t really mind, as long that I can get into the Internet, it is good enough.

Farewell Dinner @ Top Spot

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Farewell Dinner @ Top Spot

By the time you read this, I will be in Genting already. I’ll do live update via Twitter if I have the mood and time ;p

Amiey is now in Selangor continuing her studies. We had a dinner with her at Top Spot few days before she left. All the best and take care girl!


Left: The food Cyril ordered were from ABC Seafood. He paid for our dinner for that night. Thanks! 😉 We had a great night, it was quite a funny night, we laughed so much because someone was supposed to be on detox program actually got all the toxin in his brain ;p. We really wonder whether the detox worked or not *LOL*

Right: Bamboo clam cooked with curry. You can only get this clam during its season, you can’t get it all year round.


Left: Mixed vegetable with cashew nuts and prawns.

Right: Buttered prawn, quite nice. I like it.


Left: I don’t quite remember what this dish was. Should be sea cucumber soup. Not so bad too.

Right: O Jien, a bit hard to eat as they didn’t cut it into pieces.


Left: Lemon fried chicken.

Right: Midin cooked with belacan(I think…)

Overall, The food was good. We had lots of food, at least can feed 10 people but there were only 7 of us. The table was a bit too small to fit in all the food too. We couldn’t finish the food.

No group photo to share though coz they’re not in my camera.

After the dinner, we all got stuck at the parking place which was pretty frustrating. When I got back home, my Twitter was full with complains *LOL* Some of them tweeted while in the jam, it was quite funny in a way.

Thanks again for the wonderful dinner.

Preparing for KL trip tomorrow morning. Will be away from 5th to 8th January. You will see auto-publish posts starting tomorrow. 😉 Wonder should I conduct a contest while I’m away? Hehehe…

As promised, I’m going to feature the winning entries of Win a Pair of Gingerbread Men Contest that I conducted.

This one is by John. I’m pretty sure you enjoyed your Christmas. Thanks for participating.

Christmas is a very special time of the year. I would be sitting down at the dining table surrounded by my loved ones and my close friends. There would be aromatic smell of freshly cooked food, desserts and Christmas pudding on the table and every dishes that are placed on the table would draw the ooooo aaahhh from every single person gathered. I love to see the smile on their faces and the ringing laughter of joy as jokes and funny tales are told over the table.

The Christmas tree standing tall and majestic with the colorful lights winking at us from the living room and the soft Christmas songs playing in the background makes the whole atmosphere pure bliss. The decorated and colorful mystery boxes placed underneath the tree makes everybody excited as they wonder about the contents of it. This is the time of the year where all gather to hug each other, wishes each other well, forgive all the wrong doings done all throughout the year, make peace with each other and exchange gifts and blessings and this is what I do every year.

The Magic of Christmas touches the heart of every person all around the world.

Christmas Eve Dinner @ ABC Food Centre

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Christmas Eve Dinner @ ABC Food Centre

Our Christmas eve’s dinner was a last minute one. Being lazy and all, we simply headed out to somewhere near for dinner. Nothing fancy.


We went to ABC Food Centre, it’s located at Padungan, behind Public Bank and Eon Bank.


Every table were having a feast but we didn’t ;p We only ordered 3 things. Tomato noodle, kailan cooked with oyster sauce, and O jien. I forgot to take photo of the O jien, we waited for almost 1 hour for it -.-” Wanted to cancel it but when my dad went over, they were in the process of serving it already.

That’s all we had. Overall, the dinner cost below RM35 inclusive of two glasses of drinks.
