The Venue

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on The Venue


Had my birthday dinner at The Venue, RH Plaza. Didn’t know where to go and dad suggested this place as he went there for his gathering the other day and wanted us to try the food. It’s not that the food is good that he brought us there, it’s just to let us try out what he had tried since we’ve never been there.

Didn’t order much. First dish was mixed vegetables(RM16). It’s quite salty but part of the portion was tasteless -.-”


Second dish was O Jien(RM20), only 10 oysters on it. Very crispy. It tasted it supposed to be tasted but a bit expensive compare to other places that we had before.

Third dish was beehoon special(RM20). EXPENSIVE! Kinda salty too. There’s a lot of dried prawns. Portion was a bit big for 5 of us. However, still managed to finish it.


Fourth dish was deer meat with ginger(RM15). Hmm… The mixed vegetables is cheaper than the deer meat. Anyway, extremely salty -.-” We complained to them and they said will cook a new one for us. When it came, it was still so salty but my dad said it’s not. Then I tried the portion at my dad’s side, it’s not that salty, then he tried the portion at my side, it was. Aiyayaya… The salt wasn’t properly mix *sweat*

The last dish was buttered prawn(RM20). First time in my life having salty buttered prawn. I ate, ate, ate, it was salty but my mom said it was not. We suspected they might have mix up the salt and sugar and added salt twice, else how come all the food so salty?!!? Then I ate the last piece, guess what!??! It’s tasteless. Could taste the sweetness but only a bit and the salt overpowered the sweetness.

According to my dad, that time when he had all those food with his friends, it tasted different. Hmm… I really wonder what was wrong that night? Salt instead of sugar? Hmm…

So… There you go… My salty birthday dinner. Total bill came to RM98.40 inclusive of 2 bowls of plain rice and 3 tinned drinks. I would say this is quite expensive. We were all not very satisfied with the food. Rather go to eat seafood. Usually we had seafood, the bill would only come to a total of below RM80.

Summary of My 27th Birthday

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Summary of My 27th Birthday

My birthday is quite different this year. All these years, my birthday is reserved only for my family because I believe that birthday should be celebrate with family, family should be the priority. Usually we will just go out to have dinner. We never have any major celebration such as birthday party, even for 21st birthday.

27 years, I seldom celebrate with my friends, can even count with less than 10 fingers. Even if my friends want to celebrate with me, it will be in advance or after the actual day, it is pretty rare.



Nothing much happened during the day, got sms-es, Facebook’s wishes, and one phone call(surprisingly, it’s from Mike) hahaha…

At night, went out for dinner at The Venue, RH Plaza. Expensive one -.-” not very satisfying, I mean the food but I’m satisfied to have dinner with my family. Will talk about it in coming post.

Then off to tHe Spring to buy some cakes from Secret Recipe. Will also blog about the cakes in coming post.

Reached home at around 9.30pm, Lee told me he’s on his way to pick me up! I was shocked. It’s so late already, I never go out so late. I thought of rejecting but he said he already told other friends that we will be meeting them. I knew he wanted to celebrate my birthday as he’s been asking me my plan but I didn’t expect him to call up other friends(actually only Ann and Jee ;p) too.

We went to Jase Tea Room. The cake you see here is baked by Lee. Ann got me something which it happened to be something I’m thinking of getting but not so soon and now I have them already. Thanks my friends! It’s a small celebration(only 4 of us hehehe…) with big meaning. Oh! Send me those photos. I need them for blogging ;p

We’ve known each other for almost 10 years and this is the first time we celebrate a birthday together. Believe it! This is how unique our friendship is. Thanks for taking your time and trouble to celebrate my birthday with me.

I’ll blog about this too in coming post. So many pending posts ;p

Thanks again everyone.

27th

27 this year! Age is never my secret. Maybe it’s not the time yet for me to conceal my age hahaha…

Time really flies… It’s his yesterday, it’s mine today. Just one day apart but we are miles apart. Hopefully one day we can spend our days together.

Looking around, at this age, many of my friends already got married or getting married, some with kids or expecting, some busy climbing the corporate ladder but me? I’m no where near all these. Worst still, most things have gone down hill this year and I have to rediscover everything from scratch. However, I’m thankful for some good things that happened even though not many. The bad ones overshadowed the good ones.

I’m glad I have a supportive family and bunch of great friends.

What’s my birthday wish this year? I had none all these years! *LOL* However, this year I do have some. They are:

  • Money falling down from the sky(hahaha… Everyone wants this ;p I’m so money oriented nowadays, what to do… My income drops more than 70%, CRAZY!)
  • Be closer to him and take a step further.
  • Rediscover my life and potential.
  • Plans to work well but I have no plans yet coz I’m not in the mood and still in the process of discovering my paths and options. I don’t want the shit I’m experiencing this year! All plans fall apart due to some selfish idiots!
  • Travel more, see more.

That’s all for my birthday post for this year. Thanks for reading ;p

By the way, photo was taken by Allen few months back.

Singapore Trip: Day 3(19/8/09): Part 3.3: Clarke Quay

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Singapore Trip: Day 3(19/8/09): Part 3.3: Clarke Quay

ARG! No Streamyx! On Celcom now but so slow… I hate calling Streamyx Customer Service! Wasting time and have to answer the same old questions every single time and then will end up with a report number. GAH!

Ok.. Back to the Singapore trip post.

We wanted to go to Little India but after quite a lot of walking, we reached The Riverwalk and stopped for a while to look at the map. Guess what?!?! We’re not half way to Little India yet. So far away! I know… We could take MRT over but felt that it’s not worth it coz it’s so near but who knows it’s really far! There’s free shuttle to Little India but have to find the MRT station first. After so much walking, we were lazy to walk already so we scrapped Little India and we stopped at The Riverwalk to rest.


Next, we walked the underpass and reached Clarke Quay! Wah so fast, it’s so near. We thought the underpass won’t lead us there and we had to cross the road but we’re oh so wrong! ;p So excited that it’s only a short walk and here we were, at the Promenade. You just have to walk further to the bridge to go to this area you see in this photo but we were lazy so we just enjoyed the scenery from the Promenade.


Here! The famous Extreme Swing GX5. Can you spot the capsule? This is definitely not for the faint-hearted.


There’s a shopping complex called the Central. I didn’t go around this shopping complex. I took my time online there, cleared my inbox and so on because I haven’t got the chance to online properly as we were always on the move.


While waiting for my friend to pick us up, we had sushi from the Market.

Next up will be our dinner, finally some other place for food! Thanks to my friend else I will never have the chance to have something outside of food court!

Very versatile. Great for emergency touch-ups.
