MY ACTIVITIES FROM MARCH 14 TO APRIL 5, 2009

Some recollection of my activities for the past month to date.

14 March 2009 (Saturday) - My Grandnephew Got Married

Yeah it can get complicated if the situation was like this. When my mum was born, her older sisters had already a few siblings of their own which means my mum have nieces and nephews older than herself. (There was nothing peculiar if at one time a daughter and her mother were pregnant during those old days, I guess). Because of that too, that is why I had a few nephews and nieces older than me, so to attend your grandnephew or grandniece wedding means nothing new to me. And to make a long story short, A and me and the whole of my family attended one of my grandnephew's wedding dinner on the above date at Putrajaya.

Here comes the married couple.

My grandnephew looked so young and
I felt ermm...not so young

21 March 2003 (Saturday) - Hot Air Balloon Festival (Putrajaya)

On the way to Putrajaya, A and me stopped at Nasi Beryani Putrajaya right after the Kajang toll house. We ate the herbal chicken beryani. Its was just OK by me but A did not like it much because of the herbs. Reached Putrajaya afterward. Our ambitious intention was not only to watch the hot air balloons but also take a ride in one of it. With no knowledge of the festival activities, obviously we did not know the scheduled planned. And because of that it was unfortunate that we arrived too early only to find out that the balloons were still deflated and there will be no open ride on that day....Darn. To make matter worse, it was too many people and the heat was unbearable. We only managed to watch the airshow and decided to leave before the balloons were up.

A managed to catch this on his camera

28 March 2009 (Saturday - Earth Hour Campaign)

Such a historical night. Where is the best place to view KL in its darkness if not the highest place possible, right? Taking a cue from Is, A and me went to KL Tower and again thanks to Is, with the help of his friend who works there, the ticket to the Observation Deck was only RM5.00 per person instead of the normal RM38.00.

Now you see it ....

Now you don't...

Most of the people at the Observation Deck were foreigners. There was an exultant feeling when people cheered each time they saw one after another buildings lights in KL were turn off starting from 8.30pm. The loudest cheers came when KLCC's lights were turn off level by level just in front of our eyes...awesome sight. With no lights for one hours, I don't know what my fellow Malaysian were doing at that time. My wise brother has a prediction on this. He said to wait for another 9 months to see miracle happens i.e the maternity wards in Malaysia will be full with new born babies....wink wink...(not applicable to certain kind of people for sure, the unmarried one, I meant)...

Wonder what was A's looking at, ermm skodeng yek..

The lights on the Observation Deck were closed too.

Nothing to do in the darkness so we
took pictures of ourselves. Boleh?

Left KL Tower at 9.20pm and it was still in the dark.

Afterward, together with Wan, Panzer and Faiz, we went to E-box Karoke in Endah Parade until 2.45 am and then had our drinks at Mirasaa Seri Petaling. Went home at 3.30 am.


29 March 2009 (Sunday) - Third Birthday Celebration

I have posted my first birthday celebration before here. After that, there was one more small celebration with my sister's family in which I am close with. I brought them to dinner at Papa John, Berjaya Times Square. Then on 29 March 2009, in conjunction with my elder brother's birthday, my sister in-law decided to make it a double celebration together with mine. I considered it to be my third birthday celebration. So this below pictures were taken at their house in Shah Alam.

Nice surprise, instead of 1 cake we had 4
(3 from Secret Recipe and 1 from dunno where).

these lovely cupcakes were too beautiful to eat

One of my cute niece gave me this..

This is not one of the gifts ..yeah blame it on me
I envied my schoolmates who rode mini coopers back then in the 70's...

4 April 2009 (Saturday)

After A's finished his classes, we went to IKEA to buy a few small unimportant things. We then shopped at DIY (Ikano) before having our dinner at Penang Village next door. I like the comfy place and the food was quite good too.

For starters we had Pie Tees and Rojak Buah
(The Rojak Buah was not in the picture, already finished..)

A ate Pineapple rice. I normally am not fond of it,
but this rice is exceptionally good and aplenty too.

I ate Langkawi Rice. Why the name I dunno.
The taste was just OK but I like the chicken and the acar.

The Inchi Kabin Chicken, if i am not mistaken...sedapppppp!!!!

The drinks were nice too. I drank Ribena Syrup and A had Air Cendol. Overall a nice dinner.


5 April 2009 (Sunday)

I received an invitation from ZainJB at 2.00am for an outing at Congkak River that afternoon but I had to declined since I got prior engagement. My brother has been asking for one of A's cat for quite sometime so on this kinda sad day, A and me sent Intan (its a male by the way) to my brother's house in Subang Jaya. After making sure that he was OK we left and headed to Subang Parade looking for a place for our late lunch. There, we saw Swensen's and decided to give it a try.

What was left of a tomato soup, A's starter for lunch

A nice and simple Onion Soup for me. Actually this soup comes with
the main course but I liked it so much and ordered one more

A ordered Chicken Burger

I ordered Ratatouille Chicken - a new speciality dish

We end up sharing this Coit Tower for dessert.

Afterward we went window shopping in Subang Parade....I am impressed with the new building face lift albeit this is considered one of the oldest big building in Subang Jaya... We then went to a big electrical shops in Taipan with the intention to buy an Air Purifier, and being me with the uncontrolled impulsive buying and with short amnesia on our poor economic climate instead of buying just Air Purifier I ended up buying "things" worth more than RM6K...my wallet koyak again...gulp...

I was eaten, he is next....huhu

SO VERY TRUE IN LIFE

I have a lot on my mind of things to post but unfortunately due to time constraint I have to KIV it and wait for a suitable time instead. Nonetheless, today, my office mate sent this email to me which I found worth posting. It simply shows us the reality of life as brilliantly illustrated below...

Sometimes you can reach too far! And when you find yourself over-extended and you're stuck in a situation that you can't get out of, there is one thing you should always remember.........

Not everyone who shows up......

....is there to help you.....

ermm funny but its true...the person that you think you can trust to help you in your worse condition may turn around and take advantage of your condition to his/her own use. So be careful on who you call for help and how sincere they are or else you may end up like in the same position above...get screw up.......yulp....

SMOKING : PART 2

As an addition to the the previous post, I only like to add one more image in which I found in the net quite sometime ago. My deepest apology if this image or picture may be offensive to those heavy smokers out there. I am sure most of you have already seen much more gruesome pictures in the newspaper (on the cigarette pack if you are in Thailand) on the effect of smoking but I guess nothing should have said more than what has been mentioned in the previous post.
