Farewell 2012 . Welcome 2013

Greetings in the year of the snake. #hiss 

Looking back, I realised that since the starting of my final year, I had not posted up any entries except for a couple of highly emotionally unstable passages. I guess I can safely conclude that though it had been quite a distinct period of time, with my current state of mind as well as encounters, the time had not been sufficient and I just could not bring myself to write anything before.

Now let me do a quick recall on the happenings for the 'lost time'.

**********
Our second anniversary! So they say, happy moments flash by the fastest. We had been together for two years and 2 months now. Although there had been ups and downs in between, but thank God that we are still holding on to each other. And may we grow together in the Lord.

A romantic buffet dinner at Flamingo Hotel

The food was alright, nothing to shout about but who can turn down fresh mussels and prawns as well as arrays of mouth-watering desserts

Yours truly

**********
I had finally 'conquered' the Penang Bridge, in a slow and leisure way though. 

Completed my Penang Bridge marathon in less than 2 hours. 

**********
The 'queen' of the house, my mother, had aged another year even though she will remain young at heart, no doubt about that. Haha. We had a celebration at Gurney Plaza and the birthday lady chose Tian Ding Xiang for her birthday lunch. We opted for the set lunch which came with half a Chinese Peking duck, three dishes, soup-of-the-day and dessert-of-the-day.

Even though I cannot remember the price of that meal, but it was definitely worth it as all the dishes were absolutely delicious.

After the filling meal, we had a walk around the mall before heading to Tong Pak Fu for some dessert as my mum had been raving about this since their first branch was opened in Penang.

We had the award-winning green tea and durian shaved ice.

**********
The Christian Fellowship in campus held an early Christmas celebration before the study week to invite fellow campus-ians to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ together.

I just had to post this lovely 'snowflakey' picture. Aww.. I am so gonna miss my cute and lovely juniors and friends after i graduate.

**********
Had my first run around the campus. Heck it was tiring but FUN!~ And I am pretty sure I ran the year's quota that particular day. Hehe.


**********
One of my favourite festival of the year, winter solstice. I simply love love these chewy glutinous balls. Although I was away from home, thanks to the owner of a eatery that I still got a 'chew' of home.


**********
Christmas, isn't Christmas, till it happens in your heart. A meaningful Christmas with Ducky, Jia Jia and the ever-adorable Ah Bui joining the celebration. It had been so long since there were so many of us gathered together, having a great time in one another's company.

Kachak~! Ah Bui in the house

**********
Receiving the new year for the very last time in Parit Buntar Baptist Church. A wonderful and memorable one.

**********
A blessed study week and finals, even though my brain was at the verge of bursting and my nerves cracking, there were always love for me from a lot of different parties and I m really thankful for that.

Brunch on the first day of 2013

Biscuits all the way from Ipoh

Brunch before my design viva

Even a beautiful dragonfly stopped by when we were the only ones in the cafe rushing for our viva

Dinner at Fong Ting Siew, Serdang, Kedah after viva where we had a really good laugh and chatted about all sorts of nonsense we could came up with.

A lovely gift from my sweet juniors

**********
This year is going to be different than the previous as I am finally going to enter into a totally new stage of life. There are uncertainties and past burdens that had been haunting me ever since. For my new year resolution, I am going to make one and only one and making sure that I keep it, that is to put everything into God's hands and to always pray for the right decision to make.

That's all for this unorganised entry and wishing everyone a GREAT year ahead.

Coming up: Winter in Taiwan!~

Kissa Koyotei @ Hutton Lane

It has been ages since I have posted a new entry. Daily tiredsome schedule, laggy laptop, unstable WiFi and the family drama, all these contributed to me having a hard time to even come up with a short and simply entry. Now, even my English is getting rusty. *screams!! At times, its really driving me crazy.

So, in order to get my writing mode running again, I'll start by a short entry of me and the sis some time back. Life has been a bliss with her return. (Music: Cause you bring out the best in me...)

It was a Friday after work. Since my parents are off to some farewell dinner, we get to enjoy the tranquil moment of a 'sisters' dinner'. Initially, the plan was to bring her to Fullhouse at Timesquare. Alas, we are both kinda helpless when it comes to direction, *facepalm, we ended at somewhere near New World Park. Since I have always wanted to try out the 'maid cafe' I've read about, dinner was decided to be at Kissa Koyotei.

Since I was already tired from the one-and-half hour journey from my company back home and my phone was running low batt then, we took minimal number of pictures.

Doesn't this face reminds you of some cartoon character? :P

There yah go. The waitress in maid costume. I don't really care much about what they are wearing but I do know that the service is good.

Why do I see Spongebob everywhere??

 The sis's order. Fried Yaki Udon. Tasted Chinese according to the 'five-years Britain' tastebuds

Your's truly. Yah... I know I look odd with the fringe. So much for trying to be the little sis who wanna follow the elder sis's hairstyle.

Miso Ramen. A tad too salty for my liking.

Contact No: 04-2266272
Address: 148, Ground Floor, Jalan Hutton, 10050 Georgetown Penang.
Business Hours: Tuesday to Sunday (11:30a.m. - 2:15p.m. and 6:00p.m. - 10:15p.m.)



That's all for now. Please do stay tune for more as this blog is still kicking alive! Literally though. Hehe.

Saturday :)

Right now that I am a part of those people who had to wake up before the sun rises and can only manage to get back home after a one hour drive in the congested traffic, I learn to appreciate my weekends more. Hehe

As much as I wanted to sleep more, my mum dragged me up as early as 6.50 in the morning for breakfast. If I didn't remember wrongly, it was a restaurant named 茗茶茶楼. This is a new place for us but my parents wanted to try it out so we went even though there was not many customers then.  

 The deep-fried section

 The steamed section

There were very limited choices just as shown on the above. However, one can choose to order a variety of fried noodles too.

 (clockwise) Yam puff 芋饺, custard bun 菠萝包, char siew bun 叉烧烧包 and char siew puff 叉烧酥
 Siew mai and chai kueh
 All these for only RM10.50. Three pax. Hehe. But taste-wise I would give a six out of ten. >.<

We then went for a drive around the heritage area to see some of the famous 3D paintings by Ernest Zacharevic. Awesome indeed!



That's all for this short entry. Now if you would please excuse me to tend to my early Monday-blue mood.

Tek Sen Restaurant 德成饭店 Revisited

After a long hiatus since my last semester break, I had finally found something interesting to blog about. Provided the line is fast enough. Where can I get a fast connection? HOME! *grin

Since I had decided to live out this sustainable lifestyle, konon, I had been seriously deprived of the luxury of taste bud tantalising food. The real reason behind would be the fuel price is hiking and my purse is thinning. Sobs.

Dinner with parents at one of my favourite new-discovered Chinese restaurant, Tek Sen Restaurant. Check it out in my previous post. This time we went around 6.20pm and the whole place was already patronised by large crowds of people.

 辣椒干炒虾蛄 (RM14)

Sze Chuan Ribs 四川排骨 (RM14) This is my favourite dish of the dish. The meat is very tender and I can practically lick the sauce clean!

Fried Bitter Gourd with Salted Egg 苦瓜炒咸蛋 (RM12)

A very satisfied meal with my loved ones and most importantly the time to spend some quality time together.
