Shopping with Elle.

I haven't shopped for about 2 months already. T.T

So, I finally had the time on Friday since I finish my class at 11 a.m. 

While waiting for Elle to finish school at 12.30 noon, I was walking around KLCC with a growling stomach. I was so hungry coz I didn't eat anything for breakfast.

When Elle arrived, she was like 

"Eh, let's go eat chillis."

I was thinking of eating Subways but then again..... HEHEHE

Here we are at Chillis! We got a long and huge table for 2 person. =D I was satisfied coz I've got lotsa space to sit and dump my bags.

 

 My all time favourite, Bottomless Tostada Chips!

  

I love their salsa dip, coz you're hot and your're cold!

  

 Elle's meal, something that I used to order.

  

Grilled Fire Chicken Portobello.

Notice that its a heart-shaped chicken?

  

  

My not so mouth-watering meal. =(

It didn't taste as good too.

After Chillis, we walked to Pavilion.

  

I love their Grand Entrance and will always do.

I look forward for every festivals coz Pavilion has the most creative or one of the most creative and attractive festive decorations.

  

You can see the ever so bright red lanterns from a distance. The deco was simple and I like the simple things that captures my attention and makes me go "oooooooh" and "wow!"

  

 These lanterns look like dangling candies. =DDDDD

  

  

The Fountain.

  

 

  

Someday, I'm gonna get a Coach handbag. @@

  

 

A few strange incidents happened while we're shopping. One of it was a lady photographer from The Star newspapers randomly came up and asked Elle and I to pose for her with the decoratios at Pavilion's Entrance.

Both of us were like "oh why not", its just a picture. Both of us posed awkwardly coz we were being told to look fascinated with the flowers. LOL.

Our legs were about to break from all the walking. not that we're wearing heels coz we're wearing sport shoes. We came up wit this radom idea to watch a movie called Fame. I thought I would regret watching it but it was actually a great movie.

The movie  made me feel like dancing again. =)

The end.

I really really can't wait for Chinese New Year.

Japanese Food with the love ones, New year's Eve Celebration & Mike and Leny's Wedding.

I've been wanting to blog about so many things but I've been having the "Lazy Disease".  

Two days before the year 2010, I met an old friend. I dont mean, old = tua. He's a friend I haven't met in years and it was a pleasure to hang out again after such a long time.

He's back from Scotland for the Christmas Holidays and we manage to contact each other and tadaaaaa! Here we are in Chinoz, KLCC.

 

 Jia Weii.

So, In case you might wonder what I did on New Year's Eve or where I went? and with who?

This year, along with Elle, Ji Mi, Joon Hong, Afiq and I, we drove up to Bukit Antarabangsa. Instead of going to all the crowded places like KLCC, Bukit Bintang, Pavilion, One Utama, Look Out Point etc etc, we decided to go to a place with lesser people and we had the whole view of Kuala Lumpur.

 There were fireworks everywhere popping like colourful mushrooms. =D

We were standing on someone's backyard so that we could see the view better. HEHE

A shot by Joon Hong.

After the fireworks was over, we exchange wishes and hugs and sealed with a kiss.

Our resolution for 2010 are in our heads ready to be listed down one by one.

 We decided to stay for awhile at a large field behind people's backyard. =.=

It was a large field actually, like a playground and those people's house happened to be there.

After that, we went to McDonalds for supper like we did last year. =)

It was simple and I loved it.

***

I don't remember what date is it but here's another makan session. I was so excited to watch Sherlock Holmes but for some reason, we didn't watch it.

This was me when we're on our way. After getting to know I couldn't watch the movie, I was a bit disappointed.

Elle and Afiq had an amazingly odd craving for Japanese food every time we go out. I'm not really a fan of Japanese food was feeling very reluctant and somehow or another they manage to drag me into the restaurant.

 I love Unagi

and raw Salmon. =D

Since both of you love Japanese so much, next time you people have to eat what I wanna eat.

Indian food. =DD

Banana Leaf Rice! Chapati!

On the 3rd of January 2010.

It is the day my cousin, Michael got married. =DD

My family and I attended the wedding that was held in Great Eastern Mall.

Every time my parents get an invitation to a wedding, ESPECIALLY Chinese wedding, my sister and I would feel dreaded to go for it. Like every other typical Chinese weddings, they'll have it in a hotel or a grand Chinese Restaurant. This time and for the first time ever, I was really eager to actually attend the wedding.

 My parents.

Oh! The wedding dress code was ; A Touch of Red.

Knowing myself, I don't have that many clothes which are red, So I was forced to wear this,

I don't usually wear like this for wedding but this time it was an exception! =P

My cousin was really creative to have the wedding venue at a Japanese Restaurant. (OMG, Japanese again =.=)

Location : Great Eastern Mall.

 Come to think of it, I realised I haven't seen my nieces (Yes, I'm an Auntie already although I don't feel like one at all.) in ages!

I also haven't met my Auntie who sent me two boxes of Dominos pizza through delivery and I was so confused coz I didn't order any pizza. I actually called up Dominos to find out what actually happened. In the end of the day only I found out that it was actually from my Auntie. =) Awww

She's another poser, I tell you. Very photogenic.

I was so looking forward for lunch coz I was actually looking forward to eat some Salmon Sashimi's. =D

I was a lil bit disappointed coz there weren't many salmon sashimi's =(

 But what the hell, I ate whatever that was served. XD

Unlike weddings at a Hotel or a Grand Chinese Restaurant, the food are almost all the same and like Elle said : If the wedding on the card is at 6pm, dinner will be served 2 hours later.

 

Its not that I hate Chinese wedding, I just don't like it to be too long especially if the person who is getting married is someone I don't know or I don't really know that well. Old habits are hard to die out. Some would still prefer a dinner wedding at a hotel or a Grand Chinese Restaurant regardless on what we think of it.

What I love about wedding is that I get to meet up with my relatives and chat with them.

 This is my cousin-in-law.

Look how happy he is to see me. XD

or maybe the camera flash is too bright.

 I feel so tiny and squished over here.

The guy in red is the groom aka my cousin.

and the lady in red is also my cousin. I mean, the one sitting down.

Gawd, now I can't even describe a person who wears red coz almost all of us are wearing red.

Oh! one more thing!

I even met my High School History teacher, Mr. Tiew!

Apparently my cousin, Michael and I went to the same high school school. Mr.tiew was also my cousin's history teacher. XD It's been a long time, sir.

My dad, looking good. =)

Since I became an Auntie to my nieces, he became a Granduncle. =D

Since my dad loves taking pictures more than my mum, you can see more pictures of my dad with us rather than with my mum.

The wedding lunch was alright. It was simple and sweet.

 Congratulations to Mike and Leny!

I don't know why the bride look so sad here. Elle and I realised she looked sad and down throughout the wedding. hmmm...

That's about it. =)

The second semester of my college just started and I've got no time to waste.

I'm glad that I get to see all my college friends again. =D

Till' next time!

How I spent my Merry Christmas

I spent almost every Christmas out of KL. Except last year, I celebrated in KL, shopping. =D My auntie and uncle invited us over to their place at Sitiawan, Perak. Its a really small town with no shopping malls like Bukit Bintang or Pavilion. But hey, at least there's McDonalds and 7-Eleven.

 We stopped at Sungai Buloh Rest Area. We had Sate for Dinner.

 It wasn't the best Sate I've ever tasted but it still taste awesome especially if you're really hungry!

We arrived at midnight and the kids were still so wide awake running around, colouring and playing hide and seek.

 My four-year-old cousin is fascinated with Elle's braces.

When I had braces years before, she always ask me

"Denise jie jie why do you like to put shiny stickers on your teeth??"

The next day, I woke up late. The kids were jumping on the bed trying to wake Elle, Mj and I.

I took my bath and my auntie called all of us to go down to her clinic for a checkup. When it was my turn, my auntie started using those thing that produce like she's gonna drill my tooth out. She did scaling for us which is cleaning our teeth, remove tartar (CaCO3) and did some fillings for tooth cavity.

The Dentist.

She's earning big bucks as an ordinary Dentist. Has awesome techniques and skills when it comes to handling the patients tooth.

She graduated from The University of Indonesia with Honors under the government's scholarship. And I do hope someday in the future, I'll get mine too.

It was Christmas Eve and later that night we had sort of a buffet dinner at "home". The maids prepared almost everything. I miss having a maid at home. LOL.

Briyani rice with cashew nuts and raisins. <3

together with mutton curry, fried chicken, salad and carbonated Air Bandung.

It was awesome.

After dinner, it was time to give out the presents.

 

Love the tree. =)

Actually, I'm not a Christian and I sure do know Christmas isn't all about the presents and Santa Clause. Its a time where you share the joy of having each other whether if it is your family or friends. I'm not really aware the deeper meaning of it though.

Look how excited he is. =D

Elle got Jenga blocks as her present. LOL

I got a pair of black wedges. =D

Everyone had loads of fun that night. Elle, MJ and I spent most of the night on our phones.

Messages after messages and also phone calls.

After receiving endless of incoming messages, it stopped and I spent the rest of the morning talking on the phone for a really long time. =D

Christmas Day

All of us went to this seafood restaurant.

 

 Good business, I tell you.

Well, I can't really comment on the food coz I find it average.

I don't eat seafood.

 

 I love rice.

I know Carbo is fattening but whatever lahhh..

 

 Prawn Marmite.

Black Pepper Crab.

Love the Cocunut Juice.

 My parents.

 My Punjabi Uncle

and

 our host. =)

 

=D

After lunch,

 

Like always, we head down to Teluk Batik Beach. I've been here way before my younger cousins were born. I used to go Pangkor Island every year until I got tired of it.

The cutest of all, Nick.

He loves to say

"eeeee... Sho cute!!"

There was way too many people. T.T

I don't really like the beach here. Its a bit dirty but not as bad as Batu Ferringhi's beach. Or maybe it is. I still think as for now, Langkawi is the best.

Pipi and Pupu

The kids couldn't wait any longer. They didn't seem to care as along as they had fun.

and by the look of their faces and expression, They really did have fun.

As for me, i think I sort of had fun taking pictures and enjoy the sun.

=DDDD

There was a bit drama happened at the beach and it was all alright after that.

Lesson of the day : When they say they're leaving, they MEAN IT! - I quote by Elle Tan.

Had Soto for dinner. Damn wei, I've been eating a lot of good food. =D

I spent the rest of the night watching movies and talking on the phone and smsing once again. XD

What a day.

On Boxing Day.

It is the day marks the 5th Anniversary of The Tsunami 2004 killing massive amount of lives and properties. May your souls rest in peace.

It's the day we're going back to KL.

Spent my morning with Nick.

He's like dragging me from the room to the living room, to the kitchen and everywhere!!

He wanted Vitagen.

Look how possessive he is.

Something that my Uncle and Auntie would never buy for them coz its sweet and all sugary.

Actually, they don't get to eat candies or sweets or vitagen or junks like potato ships and all coz my auntie doesn't want then to have tooth cavities. This is what happened when your mom is a dentist and your dad is a doctor.

 He couldn't stop asking me to play blocks and cars with him.

He loves jumping on beds which I'm not allowed to. T.T

After awhile, he settles down on the floor, fast asleep.

I keep asking this two-year-old to sleep on the sofa or on his bed but he doesn't want.
I ended up taking a pillow for him to sleep on.
Poor fella.
He must be real tired to even wake up.

You know, kids nowadays are so different.

 The first time I read Seventeen Magazine when I was 14.

Kids nowadays,

read Seventeen at a tender age of four.
So cute right?? XD

Those magazines were mine and I gave to my auntie for her fellow patients to read while waiting for their turn.

I think she got the photogenic side from Elle.

When it was time for us to go, the youngest one, Nick was crying and sobbing in tears that his face and eyes went all read. He wanted to follow us home. awww  =(

I remember I was like that when I was younger too. Its really amazing to watch over the kids as they grow. I can't wait to tell them the things they do or say when they're all grown ups. =D It'll be hilarious. The things they do and the words they say.

That all for now.

GOSH!!! It took me so long to upload all these pictures. There are like 1500 pictures in my computer but ofcourse I can't be uploading all of them.

That was how I spent my Christmas as I had a wonderful time over there.

=)
