Damai Beach ~ Dinner(30th APR 2006)

May 1, 2006January 15, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

We were grouped into two groups to prepare for our dinner. Khoon How, LeeLing, Audrey. Lee and Hui Yee went to buy some food from nearby seafood restaurants but who knows… too many people were dining at both restaurants. One would took the cook more than 1 hour to prepare our fried rice so they decided to try their luck somewhere else. They needed to wait for 30 minutes for our fried rice at the second restaurant. So at the end, they bought plain rice back.

Ann, Jee, Jimmy and I stayed back to prepare for the steamboat session. Actually only Jee and Jimmy did all the preparations. *BLEK* Not to mention, we wrapped the smoke detector with the shower cap!!! We thought of using condom to wrap it hehehe… but then why waste? Or no one bring any I think… and resorted to use shower cap.

Please note that we were not supposed to cook in there! Gosssh… I hope I’m not teaching you guys something bad here and I hope the resort won’t sue me. We are very considerate bunch, we cleaned up everything carefully after that.

After all of them came back, our session started. Out of curiosity, we checked the kettle to see how many electricity it used, we were worried that the power outlet in there couldn’t support our electrical steamboat and would blow the fuse… if this happened, we’re in big trouble! Upon checking, YAY! It’s 2000Watt! Our steamboat only uses 1500Watt! Phew…

We couldn’t finish our food! We had five rounds of cooking going on, each round with different ingredients but after the fourth round, everyone was full. So the last one was left there in the pot to cool and to be disposed in the morning.

Man… the leftovers really stinks!!! Lee opened the cover of the pot before we prepared to sleep after arranging the beds to accomodate 9 of us in a room that was meant for 4 people only. My first reaction… I accused Jimmy loudly of farting inside the blanket. LOL!!! Poor guy… coz it happened that I flipped the blanket the smell came out. He looked at me and said that he didn’t. Then I questioned him about the smell. Suddenly I heard the closing of the pot cover… YIKESSS… it’s the smell of the leftovers! *BLUSH* Sorry…

We all slept on and off except someone… wow… he really slept soundly! *GRIN* I couldn’t sleep well because my position was just right below the air-con and it kept blowing into my face.

We decided to wake up at 5.30am to view the sunrise but… it rained in the middle of the night heavily with thunders and lightnings too.

Damai Beach ~ Arrival(30th APR 2006)

May 1, 2006June 23, 2022 sweet surrender No Comments

WARNING: Bandwidth sucker and lengthy post!

9 of us met at King’s Centre’s Daily Food Cafe (can’t remember the name). Jimmy ordered fast food. Ann and I ordered Sarawak Laksa. The rest ordered don’t-know-what. LOL…

After lunch, off we went up to Damai Beach. It’s one of Holiday Inn resorts .

Left: The beach…. so sweet… see the couple below the tree.
Right: The chalets surrounded by coconut trees. We lived in one of these. Don’t be fool that you will be staying in such a big chalet, it’s actually a chalet divided into 4 rooms.

The bathroom. We were supposed to check- in at 2pm but it’s not cleaned yet, so we were told to go to the room 45 minutes later but when we reached there at the said time, it’s not cleaned yet. So we put our things in first and waited for them to clean the room. When the room service arrived, we went out for a walk. After some times, we went back to check out whether the room is cleaned or not and finally… it’s cleaned! We quickly changed into our swimsuits and headed straight to play at the pool and the beach.

Here are some sceneries of the resort.

Malaysia China Friendship Park

February 1, 2006January 21, 2007 sweet surrender 2 Comments

Went to Malaysia China Friendship Park at Jalan Song to take some photos. Click here for its details. Here’s some photos to share. Since it’s night, you can’t really see much.

The entrance; The restaurant, only open in the morning.

The surroundings.

This is the so called wishing well. Many people throw money in there and hope for better luck.

Couldn’t take the pic of Admiral Cheng Ho , the spotlights were malfunctioned. Even Photoshop couldn’t save ahhaha…

It’s a very nice place to go have a stroll in the morning or the evening. Too bad I spotted a plastic bag in the pond! Those irresponsible people!

So that’s all for today 🙂

KL Trip – Day 5(21.1.2006)

January 27, 2006February 24, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

This is the last post of KL trip and I promise no more KL posts anymore hahaha… I know got people complain already.

Hey!! KL also got LOK THIAN!!!! FYI, LOK THIAN in Kuching is a company that involved in food business here. They owned several restaurants in Kuching. Don’t be too excited, this LOK THIAN in KL is actually called Tai Pai Tong. It’s situated at Lot 10. The food… 😡 Strange thing is that the chinese name is LOK THIAN but the english name isn’t. The two LOK THIAN aren’t related. Had breakfast there. The photos here are tempura ramen and (donno what) ramen LOL…

Went out of the building and took this pic. Thought of taking KLCC up close but the sun is too bright and it’s so hot, really very hot until I could feel the heat cooked me. So simply took this shoot of the fountain.

KLCC has chickens and even a well too!!! Something “kampung” (village) in this modern building.

Also a wooden house in the middle of this mighty tall building. Actually it’s just some CNY decors at the concourse.

The food court. No-camera zome ;-p LOL but we didnt’ care. Too many people. It was jam packed! No one cares about the camera. Didn’t use flash too. Had lunch here.

Yoshinoya. Had their beef rice. Yummy.

Tea break, Sashimi(Ann’s dad bought this at Isetan) and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s Sunrise. Sunrise is an ice-blended drink that consists of orange juice and vanilla. It’s sour and sweet at the same time. I used to have this in Coffeemaster but much sour than this.

The dangling stuffs here… just some decor at KLCC.

Around 4.45pm we went to airport with a limo. Gosh.. the driver parked at the opposite of KL Plaza because they couldn’t stop there.

KL traffic is known to be crazy and the first time we crossed the road like this in the middle of the city with no traffic light or zebra lines. The driver braved the traffic and we followed him as close as possible. Ann and I hold each other hand tightly while crossing the road hahaha… Luckily there were drivers that were considerate enough to slowed down and waved to us to let us cross the road. Not all KL drivers are bad 🙂

This is where they collect the toll.

In the airport, KLIA departure hall.

Had Burger King Cheese Burger as dinner.

Here we were! In the new Airbus!!!

Hehehhe… toilet ;-p

Reach Kuching. Couldn’t get a nice photos of it since it’s night time.

Waited for our luggages.

Our very own KIA. Our newly renovated airport and will be able to accomodate B744 and A380! Cool…

THE END!

Back home in this beautiful Kuching, clean air and no noise pollution. Home sweet home.

KL Trip – Day 4(20.1.2006)

January 25, 2006February 17, 2007 sweet surrender No Comments

More interiors of 1 Utama. Flowers too ahahah.. actually it’s potted plants.

After some shopping or should I say lots of shoppings, we had our lunch at tai(1) tai(2). We had chinese tea.

The first dish, char kuay tiaw. Second dish, Yang Zhou style fried rice. Yang Zhou is a part of China.

The third dish, yellow wine chicken (LOL… direct translation from the chinese name). The fourth dish, pork and I don’t know what’s the the dish name ;-p

Tea break after second round of shopping, Auntie Anne’s. We had pretzels, cheedar cheese, almond and sour cream & onion.

Then, we went to the juice bar, jj’s Juice Fusion, for fresh fruit juice.

At night, we went to Petaling Street. Then had dinner there. The food? Not nice. I’m not going to reveal which shop this is because I think it’s should be a popular dining place for KL people and were always in the press. So I guess better to shut up and not elaborate further else will get flame by some sensitive people.

One of the delicacies u can find in Petaling Street. I don’t know the name. Very colourful and lots of cute shapes. The fillings should be something sweet.
