Courtyard

Posted on By sweet surrender 12 Comments on Courtyard

Courtyard, quite a new eatery, opened somewhere last year end if I’m not mistaken. Not many people know about this place. Always wanted to go there since last year but no chance at all. Finally got the chance now.


Was supposed to have a bigger gathering there for ex-college mates but who knows at the end, ended up with only 4 of us as usual. Anyway, this place is located at Sarakraf Pavillion a.k.a Sarawak Arts & Crafts Heritage Centre. Parking was limited but now they have a space to accommodate more cars.


The place isn’t very big but not too small also. You can choose to sit indoor or outdoor. Prefer indoor as there’s air-con.


L-R: Ice Lemon Tea(RM2.50); Ice Blended Chocolate with Cream(RM7); I need help in this!! What kind of coffee already? Hahaha…; Vienna Hot Coffee(RM5).

The coffee are freshly brew, you will have to wait a bit longer for it but definitely worth the wait.

This place served Chinese-style food.

Left: Stewed Chicken with Sea Salt(RM12), this is a type of cold dish, something I don’t think you can get in many places. Taste wise? Just cold chicken meat to me but not the gross type, it’s something different, edible and definitely a must-try.

Right: Seasoned Egg-plant in steel-pot(RM8) but it’s served in clay pot. Not bad for this also. I don’t know how to explain how it tastes but it’s good. I like it.


Left: Lamb Chop Zhe Jiang Style (RM18), highly recommended from me. Yummy… The meat is so tender and don’t worry about having problem eating it with chopsticks.

Right: Plain rice, don’t remember the price. Just plain rice, what do you expect? ;p


Here’s the map so that you know how to go.


That night, Lee made a cake for 8 people but only 4 of us went. This cake is highly recommended from us, serious! Mousse Chocolate Cake, it’s so light and not too sweet and so much better than what you get from most bakeries.

I don’t know how much he’s selling though. One thing for sure, it’s GOOD! Those who are health conscious will think it’s good as sugar is reduced in this cake. If you are interested in ordering this cake, let me know ok? I’m sure he is happy to receive your order.

So… What we do with the rest of the cake? We split the cake into 3 and then I gave my portion to the management of Courtyard! 😛 Hehehe… Happened that an ex-schoolmate of mine was there so I gave it to her to try.

Place there is quite limited for the indoor section, you might want to make a reservation:

I’ll Wait…

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on I’ll Wait…

Have some stuffs to blog about but quite busy and lazy to edit those pictures. There will be two posts coming, one about Celcom Broadband and another one is the latest place I dined in last night with some of my friends.

Anyway… Just simple text post, some randomness and thoughts.

Sometimes we, human, like to take thing for granted or just look at the big picture and never bother about the little things in life. In fact, these little things are the things that will make or break your life.

Recently I learn to look at the smaller things instead of the big pictures in life and notice that little things really matters a lot. These little things that you (you know who you are) did let me see and feel that you indeed care about me. It’s so tiny that it’s not obvious at all and I’ve been taking it for granted.

Those little things that never cross my mind at all until I examine them closely one lonely night. I’m glad I got it and I appreciate you even more now. Or should I say, loving you more each day? *BLUSH*

I’ll wait… I’ll wait for the day. I’m hoping it to be soon but with the situation now, we know it won’t be soon but I’ll wait. Missing you heapssssssss!

My First Wax – Veet Wax Strips

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on My First Wax – Veet Wax Strips

Actually I never plan to wax my legs. Never cross my mind at all until I bought Veet Wax Strips. This box is RM25+ if not mistaken. There was discount that time so it was below RM20.

I bought it to wax my bikini line *BLUSH* but ended up using it on my legs. This is because before you use it on your bikini line or underarm, you have to test it first if it’s your first time using it. The best place to test based on the instructions is your legs. That’s how I got hairless legs now! For the first time in my life, I’m having hairless legs! ;p I got lots of hair on my legs and some even quite coarse but I never bothered.

So? The result after using it? Really easy and fast. The pain is all right. Piece of cake for me.

However, for bikini line and underarm, I tried few days later after waxing my legs, it just didn’t work well. Nothing much came out.

The main reason is that you have to cut the strip into smaller strips but there’s a problem, see the photo below and you will understand.

There wasn’t enough wax and strength to grip the hair when you cut the strip small. The wax would come out from the sides of the strip that is cut and it’s very messy. ARG! The wax all ended up on the surrounding areas with not enough wax on the strip to grip the hair.

The lesson of the story is that, buy small size wax strips if you are going to wax small areas such as underarm and bikini line. Cutting big strip into small strips can’t do the job.

Love the sweet smell and how quick and easy to use. I do recommend it if you are new to waxing.

There are 4 wipes included for you to remove the wax residue and also to moisturise your skin. If you run out of it, you can always use baby oil.

This is only suitable for big areas even though the packaging stated that you can use it for underarm or bikini line. Well… Unless you have big surface for those areas then that’s different story.

Going to Singapore!

Posted on By sweet surrender 13 Comments on Going to Singapore!

Got my passport today. Got really nice expiry date, 14/4/14 hahaha…

Finally I did my booking! I’m going to Singapore this August. Will be going with my aunt and will meet my sis there in Singapore.

Did a quick research since this morning and only just now found out that Tiger Airways is having zero fare promo. I think it ends today.

Made the booking and I paid RM189 for return ticket. In fact my target was below RM300 but who knows there’s RM200 and below offer. It’s a deal! Even with the “hidden charge” of the airline, the convenience fee -.-” RM25 per person. I hate it. Why? That is because it didn’t reflect in the total and when you make your payment, it was only reflected after the transaction was completed. So be prepared to get shocked with the extra charge.

What you see in the picture is not the final amount you are making. The final total is RM378 for two persons.

Then the itinerary didn’t have much details just like Air Asia. You only see the passenger name, contact details, flight details and money you paid(without breakdown of charges) but there’s no other details such as passport number of each passenger.

Oh! One thing I’m not sure, I didn’t choose any seat because if you choose your seat, you will have to pay for it. Do they assign to you randomly or you must make your choice? GOSH! I hope this is not another hidden cost when check-in -.-” Anyone has any idea?

So I will be away from 17 August 2009-21 August 2009. Should be able to update blog by then or have series of scheduled posts ;p My mission is to “eat” Singapore, no shopping, what to shop? No money to splurge. I rather feed my stomach.
