Foodies Review - Steamboat

Semalam aku gi makan steamboat dengan cher...

Mulakan dengan bismillah...disudahi dengan alhamdulillah...

p/s: tengok la kulit ketam yang si cher makan itu....bertimbun....hahaha

Bila dua orang foodies bertemu...apa lagi...meletopsss...hahaha...i was drawn to the place by its flyers...RM19.90 beb...eat all you can buffet steamboat...with 150 choices...inclusive of free-flowing drinks...perghhh...then tengok alamat plak...dekat MAR*DI...aku tau la mana tempat tu...but i dont know exactly where's the buffet....

The steamboat buffet area

Rupa-rupanya...its deep inside the MAR*DI compound...boleh kata about 1km from the main gate tu lah...but it was really worth it...i waited for cher after maghrib...so we kinda arrived there about 8 p.m...ramai gak orang, considering the location is in the middle of nowhere...serious...memang takkan tahu la kalau takdak orang nak tolong promote...coz...sapa nak gi inside the MAR*DI compound? aku start gi pon sebab ned and ina dok kata ada flea market itu...but at least the flea market is visible from the highway...

Getting ready to boil up and eat...yeahhhh...

Okay...on with the buffet...ada dua jenis soup ready...tomyam dengan sup ayam...untuk ko main celup celup tu lah...then in the middle of the buffet like, there was these frozen foods...semua ada...fiskek fisbol pronbol pronkek skuidkek skuidbol dan memacam lagi...dan juga ayam ikan udang ketam sotong....semua ada...ais krim lagi...siap dia ada chocolate fountain beb....dengan rojak lagi...buah...pastu ada lagi la makanan goreng...termasuk la ayam goreng la, mee goreng la, koteow goreng la...dan macam macam lagi...

Ketam cik cher sebelum selamat masuk ke perut...hahaha

Aku dengan cher apa lagi...it feels just like heaven...hahaha...cher giler ketam...so abis la ketam itu disumbatnya...daripada start guna fork and spoon...terus tukar pakai tangan terusss...tak banyak bunyik...pastu biasa la kan...makan sambil sembang...mana la perasan ko dah makan giler banyak tahap gaban...sampaikan si cher cakap mamat sekumpulan kat meja sebelah kitorang dok usha ajer dia tak brenti makan...hahahaha....

Makan punya makan...orang pon makin berkurangan...then we were the second last person to leave the place...boleh tak...ada sesetengah tu datang lagi lambat daripada kitorang tapi dah surrender awal...kitorang...no retreat, no surrender...biaq sampai pueh ati RM19.90....and we both think that we ate more than that worth...mana taknya...semuanya kitorang bantai...hahaha...and aku rasa lagi pueh ati daripada gi makan kat johnny's tu...hahaha...

Anyway...aku rasa cam nak repeat ajer lagi gi makan steamboat itu...how about it...cher jom repeat??? anybody else?...hahahah

Putrajaya Hollywood?

Hahahahahahahahahahaha...

Its one of those classic moments that you would laugh your a** off everytime you think about it...its all started with one of my very close friend...coming to my flat in putrajaya...for the first time...

Direction was given...he understood...but he made a wrong turn...then he called me up...

CF : Yo bro...aku dah silap jalan arrrr ni...

ME : Hang kat mana?

CF : Hurmmm...Putrajaya Hollywood...

ME : Huh! Apakah???

CF : Ni kat signboard Putrajaya yang cam Hollywood tu...

ME : ~Flabbergasted~terdiam~ Hahahahahahahahahahahahhahaah ~gelak guling-guling sambil dengar dia dok sebut hello hello~

That happened almost three years ago...it never fail to made me smile everytime i saw the Putrajaya signboard...owh yeah...i think Ipoh's is more likely to resemble the Hollywood signboard...hahaha...

Presents

What to give?

First of all...my birthday this year as always filled with countless of food consumptions...aside from giving me presents, some of my friends prefer to give me a treat...considering how much i love eating...which is by the way is not helping me with those cutting down calories...at all!!!...but what da heck...my birthday is only once a year...there's plenty of time to lose more of those calories before next year's birthday....hahaha...

Presents...well i get a few...not going to disclose what i get as some people might get a different idea (zet and adrian???)...hahaha...but i do appreciate all those presents that i got for this year...i was touched that some people do care about me enough to actually give me presents on top of remembering my birthday...which is 8th of June by the way (sila set date ini dalam henfon anda ya)...hahaha...

Sebenarnya bila cakap pasal hadiah nie...bukan boleh bagi sembarangan hadiah...boleh timbulkan kontroversi (zet and adrian again???)...hahaha...when someone wants to give a present to another...it all comes back to the level of how close you are with the other particular person...you never wanted to give a different ideas nor that you want the other person to get a wrong message...

The most neutral ones would be just a normal lunch or dinner treat...tapi depends gak...kalau bawak gi romantic candelite dinner tu...peliksss...or maybe books...yeah i do get books for my birthday since some of my friends do know about my reading habits (other than eating habits that is)...these are among the normal presents/ treats that a person gave to another...

Clothing materials are definitely personal...seriously...melekap kat badan kot...how closer it can be kan...tapi kalau t-shirt souvenier tu normal la...i mean like watches, perfumes, boxer shorts (yeah i do get that as well...giler tak)...that is entirely personal...only close friends would give that...i am saying here from a guy's perspective la...at least...my perspective...gadgets pon boleh dikira personal gak...yer ler...kawan biasa takkan bagi iPod or PSP sesuka hati kot...flight tickets gak...takkan kawan biasa nak bagi flight tickets...itu memang ada udang di sebalik mee goreng mamak tu...hahaha....tapi kalau close friends yang bagi...kira normal la tu...close friends kan....even zegna neck tie and perfumes...close friends bagi...normal la tu...even from the same gender...at least thats what i think...

To sum it up...getting presents is one of the nicest feeling anyone could ever feel...yer ler...benda free kan...memang best...but there's still this thin line that separates the feelings...its all comes down to the level of closeness between the giver and the receiver...tapi aku tak kisah...for one thing...i never analyse what   had received...just go ahead and feel touched and happy coz at least someone do care enough to give any thing...hehehe...

Suddenly Sudan

Aku rasa sangat kelakar...

In the previous entry about survive NY whatever tu...i made one last remark before i ended the entry...stating that susah sangat ker hidup kat NY compared to...lets say (without any hidden intention)...Sudan...

Then i got a comment from one of my friend...she stated how's her life in Sudan...and seriously...at first i thought she was joking....then i opened her blog...and there it was...Salam Dari Sudan...she seriously is currently in Sudan...following her husband who was posted there...hahaha...and i seriously thought she was joking about living in Sudan...

Judging from what she wrote in her blog...i think she is coping well living in Sudan...and i have no doubt that she can survive NY anytime....unlike the person who lived in NY....hahaha...

Sartorial

Maksudnya ialah elegance atau berpakaian mentereng...mentereng bermaksud bagus...

Recently i came across this blog thesartorialist.blogspot.com ....interesting blog i might say...it is a blog about fashion...fyne...i am not that fashionable...but i just like looking at people who are fashionable...one thing that really interesting about this blog is that it captures the photos of real people in real everyday life on the streets...the way they dress and all...not some high-fashion photoshoot with famous photographer and famous models...its all about the fashion that you see on the daily basis on the streets of paris, milan, new york, tokyo...just to name a few....dia tak pernah mai malaysia lagi so thats why tak ada photos of people on streets of KL in his blog lah...

The owner of the blog started this blog when he felt disconnect of what he was actually selling in the showroom compared to what real people wears on the streets...yeah i do think the same way...how often you would see people in the movies wearing what they wear in the movies on their everyday life? but it is cool to actually see those people wears everyday on the street...

Of course la malaysia takder ler orang nak pakai trench coat on the streets (orang giler ajer kot yang pakai trench coat tengah panas)...but i just try to capture the concept of his whole blog and try to actually see it in my everyday life...sebenarnya kalau tengok everyday people, they do wear interesting apparels sometimes...kekadang tu aku ternampak ada pakcik mana ntah bawak briefcase...i was itching to find out where he got it...aku nak beli satu...hahahah...or ternampak ada mamat mana ntah pakai cap yang cool giler (there was this one time aku tak akan kuar rumah without cap)...nak ajer aku tanya brapa harga....

Actually real everyday life people does offer something that can be adapted and adjust...coz its more likely and much more logical compared to kalau contohnya si ha nak ikut samantha from SATC punya wardrobe in the movie...aku kompem terlopong...hahaha...aku nak ajer beli satu camera yang cun melecun then aku nak try capture everyday people with normal wearable apparels...coz that is reality...

Survived NY...Can Survive Anywhere?

Seriously...are you serious???

Aku tak pernah jejakkan kaki ke NY lagi...so aku tak tau ler betapa susahnya hidup kat NY...once, a few months ago...cik hayati shared about this one guy who uttered this phrase to her...and i can't believe that someone (not the same person) actually said the same thing to me...and it comes from a mouth whom papa and mama sent USD5k per month as a living allowances...WTFish?

Teringin aku nak tengok dia gi kat Chenor tempat aku wat penempatan kampung dulu tu...aku nak tengok skit betapa betul sangat la statement dia yang kata if anyone had survived living in NY can live in any part of the world...

Tetiba aku terpikir...susah sangat ker hidup kat NY compared hidup kat...lets say....Sudan?

Deactivated

Aku memang sengal pagi nie...

Earlier this morning...sajer ajer ler aku nak tengok function deactivate tu...sebab aku tengok ramai sangat kengkawan aku dok deactivate profile pastu dengan mudahnya re-activate balik...so sajer ajer ler aku nak tengok camna...sebab slalunya deactivate tu terus delete profile...tapi fesbuk itu lain macam la plak dia punya deactivate...so sajer ajer ler aku try tekan deactivate tu...succeed...okay...pastu aku nak activate balik la kan...tak boleh...sebab opis aku blok fesbuk dari jam 8.30 a.m sampai la 1.00 p.m....hurmmm....ooopppsss...kena la tunggu jap...does it end there? NO....

Easily in between 8.30 a.m until now...aku dah dapat beberapa sms...and also beberapa orang terus kol aku tanya apesal aku delete diorang and blok diorang teruss....ooopppssss...tidakkk...no one gets deleted and no one got blocked...its just a misunderstanding...tunggu jap ek...nanti dah boleh login fesbuk aku ektivet balik hokey...

Tetiba aku terfikir...hurmm...kengkawan aku yang dok jauh memang ler sangat mengaplikasikan fesbuk ini as the main means of connecting to others (within our group lah, yer ler calling pakai phone mahal dowh)...jadi salah sorang deactivate tu memang ler cam termiss out off the social link...hahaha...rasa kelakar la plak...how important fesbuk has become nowadays...and yeah i still have my 8 siblings whom i interact rather regularly via fesbuk...especially aku nak tengok anak sedara aku la...abang aku dok uplod gambaq yang baru kat fesbuk...and akak aku yang jauh nun di sana tu....adik adik aku...hurmmm...memang tak dapek ler cheq nak deactivate profile sesuka ati...hahaha...

Now the clock strikes 12p.m and there's another 1 hour to go la before i can re-activate my profile...hahaha...sengal betul la pagi nieh...ni semua gara-gara tak boleh nak gi joggin sebab hujan la tu...tu yang otak jadi sengal skit sebab masyuk ajer dengan suasana hujan...hurmmm...sambung balik buat kerja lah...hahahha

Went out with inchek hadi...i gave him some of the things that he asked me to buy for him from dubai...had great time hang out with him...two frequent travellers on the same table...from the table of wendy's to the table of pelita...we lost the track of time...thats what happen when you hang out and do have things to talk about...nice...can't wait for the trips...

The next day went to ipoh...with adrian and zet...there's something happen...but not going to get into details...kelakar siot...anyway...attended zaza's wedding...almost finished...cepat betul orang ipoh punya atur cara kawin...but zaza looked happy...and i already fulfill my promise...so dia tak boleh la nak book tiket gi dubai nanti bila turn aku plak...hahaha....

Abis wedding...singgah rumah tunang adrian sebab dia nak tumpang balik kl...then off we went to my sis in law's family house in manjoi...my niece was there...gave them the things that i had bought for them...and my niece take an immediate liking to adrian...cool...so adrian must be a good guy...there's some saying that children knows better...okay lah...tak kisah...

Off we went back to KL...as usual...in the car there was only 4 of us...but the sounds of everyone picking on each other felt as if there were triple of us...we laugh and we ate...and we just make fun of each other...once i sent zet to her house...adrian left his car at my flat...i straight away went back to my flat then...

Arghhh...i had a tiring weekend....but also a memorable one...especially the 'exit' thingie...owh denggg....now i know better...hahaha

Thats what i feel everytime i hang out with them...

Pali, Adrian and Zetty...just the four of us...our usual meeting spot...pali's fave...pappa rich cyberjaya...we chat...we make fun of each other...we laugh our a*ss off...there's never a moment that have negativity in it...it was always alive and kicking...it sure was great times...only for a mere few hours...but it always managed to take my mind off all the troublesome for the week...just the four of us...without our respective partners...pali is married with one kid...adrian already engaged...zet in serious relationship...and me...jumping from one 'relationship' to another...the four of us have a totally 4 different way of life...but the chemistry kept us all hooked to each other...just some time out from others...for just some moment to allow us to be ultimately silly...

Yeah...i feel rejoiced...

June Is The Month I Get Fat

I think it had been thousands of times that i mention this month is my birthday month...

Okay i am getting on some people's nerves...okay fyne...its okay la...what i love most when it comes to my birthday was...the food consumption...omaigotttt...lots and lots of foods and cakes...this year is no different than last year...last year was one of the best birthday month for me...but nothing can outdo my 18th birthday month back then 10 years ago...omaigottt...that sounds like centuries ago....but whatever...

This year it kicked started with mexican dish in The Walk in jumeirah beach (at first i was thinking of lake toba)...had great fun for my 28th birthday...amir was great enough to treat me for lunch the next day in this food joint in burjuman in khalid bin al walid street...and the celebration keeps on when ady surprised me the next day during lunch when he flown to dubai...denggg....thats the difference when some people do have money to spare...he called me up several times but i didnt pick up (hello, the roaming cost about RM7/mins)...he said he just push his luck as he knew where i will be having my classes...he was only there for the lunch and went back on the next flight...giler betul...

Owh yeah...i got the complimentary cake from the hotel...it was cool enough though...akram was messing with my head when he said that it might not be the hotel as it might be some 'secret admirer'...only me and him knew exactly what does he meant by this remark...sengal sungguh....

Then the rest of my days in the middle east just go on as usual until i got back to my home country....god...i missed the clouds in the sky...that won't happen in mid-east...if it does happen...well something must have gone terribly wrong with mother nature...

Ha, ned and cindy came and picked me up in the airport...off we went to the movies after i freshen up then had some foods...my lil bro with his gf was there as well as my lil bro came to my flat to send my car...the next day...went to the movies (again!) then went back only to have jamal called me up for some small belated birthday celebration for me....owh yeah...great....food...happy birthday to me...it was secret recipe...seriously...secret recipe can be easily named as one of the best cake joints in the whole world...yeah i am exagerating...but i love it anyway....

Comes monday...Ha and Alia called me up for dinner and some sort of small birthday celebration (again!~owh i loikeee)...we met in johnny's then off we went to nando's and then have coffee in starbucks....it was great hanging out again with these two ladies as it has been a while since we last catch up with each other (the three of us together, i always hangs out with ha but alia was quite busy with her work)...alia went to the states, ha went to china and me went to the middle east...we had fun pickin on each other sharing some of our experience in the foreign environment...and alia got herself some juicy checkbook wallet...with blings blingssss...hahaha....

Then today...came back with no intention to go out...helped my housemate to pick up some washing machine...and then suddenly i got a message from jeff and iza saying that they are in front of my block...already waiting to get me fat tonite...owh mai gotttt...me loikkeeee (again!!!)...off we went to seoul garden bbq (i once mentioned to them about this place and they think that its the perfect time that they should try it out)...on my belated birthday....owh denggg...i am touched...

Presents for this year? hurmmm...well...i dont think that i need one...the feeling of comfort of having these friends around me was a great present...it was enough...still have some more dates with friends for some small belated birthday for me...

I have to be ready to look in the mirror by the end of this month as i think i would put on pile of weight when the month is over...but whatever it is...i am just plain happy...june is simply the best month for me every year...heheheh

Travelling Companion

It just dawned on me...

I love to travel...regardless the place...tak kisah la memana pon...but suddenly it just dawned on me that its not the place that make it so memorable...but its your travelling companion that do...no matter how cool the place was...it wouldn't have a distinct feeling if the person who was with you weren't as enthusiastic as you are...not in the same wavelength...it took a perfect travelmate to make the journey worth making...you can just go anywhere...as long as you are with the right people...then it would be worthwhile...

I bet my travelmates feel the same way...especially the part of taking photographs...

Mamal, Full Set Of Baju Melayu, Big Fluffy Pink Teddy Bear And Flight

Yesterday was my niece's 1st birthday...

Aishah Adzim and my mom (a.k.a the mak tok) in Alor Setar, Kedah...dah boleh berjalan dah si Aishah ni...

Aiii...sekejap ajer dah 1 tahun dah...pak ngah dah rasa sangat tua...then i remember something...a story about me and a fluffy pink teddy bear...bigger than my back then 4 months old niece....

It was last year...i was going back to alor setar via a*irasia...got a darn cheap ticket back...sebelum tu aku ada ternampak satu teddy bear besor alam nie...and i thought immediately of my niece, aishah...so i bought it for her....it was friday...and as usual i wore a full set of baju melayu (dengan songket bagai semua)...and i took half day leave...my only problem was, the big fluffy teddy bear (which in the end i called fluffy)...

I didn't bring back any suitcase...aku terus ajer gi airport after semayang jumaat...complete with my baju melayu and songket...i dont have any suitcase to put the fluffy pink teddy bear....apa lagi...terpaksa la bawak ke hulu ke hilir....can you just imagine...me, in a full set baju melayu...walking down LCCT while holding a big fluffy pink teddy bear...hurmmm...seems like i caught everyone attention...hahaha...everywhere i go, people seem to be staring at me....ahahaha

It doesn't end there...when i got up the plane, the stewardess seems to be staring at me with my big fluffy pink teddy bear...arrghhhh...buat tak heran ajer cukup...hehehe...then i took my seat...i was a bit tired...and i was holding the teddy bear...and i felt just soooo comfortable that i fell asleep while hugging the teddy bear...boleh tak?

Once the plane landed in alor setar, the stewardess smiled sheepishly at me....hurmmm...yer ler...aku tertido sambil peluk teddy bear...that could attract some unwanted attention to yourself...but i just smiled back...genuinely....aiiii...aishah...tengok la pak ngah ko ni nak bawak balik hadiah ko punya pasal...hurmmm...

And now it has been almost a year since that happens...something that i would recall again and again...and i am going to story mory aishah about it once she old enough to understand the red-faced-blush i had to went thru in order to bring back that fluffy bear of hers...hehehehe...and it would be a good one...hahaha
