17 & 24 APRIL 2010

17 April 2010 (Saturday)

Nothing adventurous to do on these weekends, just roaming and watching movie. For some time now I have an interest in one particular car and on 17th.. Ed and myself went to Mutiara Damansara, especially the Curve with the intention to go to the particular car show house. Not been in that there area for quite sometime, I was surprised that the place no longer house the brand that I wanted to see as it was replaced by another brand.. Mission failed...but other thing suffice off course..what else than watching movie. We booked tickets to watch Kick Ass and before that had lunch at Popeye's...

Can't wait to eat....

The delicious combo..

This is so much better than KFC...

Something different, fried shrimps...

While waiting for the movie to start we took pictures of our next coming attraction movies to watch in Cineleisure...

The wobbly feet hehe..

Another hero in a different dimension

About Kick Ass, so many reviews had been given about the movie .. so I need not mentioned it any longer. Suffice to say that, it was an awesome movie. Its like watching Kill Bill all over again... and the best part was to watch this movie with less or no disrupting censoring. Too many 4 letter words were uttered and gory scenes were shown to our delight. Later, we bought a few T-shirts and went to a shop that was offering a discount for a making a kitchen cabinet. This is for Ed's new home. We had a 'heavy snack' at a Kopitiam afterwards.

I ate a mee goreng Siam which tasted very different yet quite good...

Ed ate mee jawa...

Before going back, we took pictures at Cineleisure again ..

Only fake books behind me...this is actually a bistro..

The Library with a horse and a lamp shade on his head? weird hehe

Not as tall...

We went back home and later went to Leo/Amri's house. Leo had cooked Laksa Sarawak and had invited us over. Thanks Leo, that was one delicious food...

Yum yum... Leo wont reveal his recipe even with a gun to his head, hehe

24 April 2010 (Saturday)

Ed came to my house in the morning and we then had lunch at Al Diafah near my house. Later we went to a hair salon in which I am a loyal customer for nearly 7 years. It is a small salon which gives value for money services. I had my hair treatment there and Ed had his hair cut.

Huh? only free dates?

Amik ko... hehehe

Chicken soup

Hormus - appetizer..

Can't remember what was it...

Kebab..

My Egyptian's rice..

Ed's Mendy lamb & rice..

My Arabian tea..

Bon appetit...

We then went to Lestari Puchong where Ed's house is still under construction..

Singing contract with TNB & Syabas Berhad at the Developer's office

Inside, quite spacious..

The living room

Stairs...the ceiling is quite high and spacious too

After Maghrib, we went to Ajoi's house where we did a small tahlil for arwah Bush. The bigger tahlil will be done in 15 Mei, same place later. We left the house after having dinner prepared by Ajoi and his housemates.

FELDA RESIDENCE, HOT SPRING AND SPA, SUNGAI KLAH 10 APRIL 2010

GOOD BYE, BUSH...

It had been two weeks since our friend, arwah Bush passed away.... even though I was not a close friend of arwah but I knew he was a good and kind hearted guy... I managed to visit him when he was hospitalised in Serdang Hospital and I was shocked to learn that the hospital was unable to give the correct diagnosis of his sickness which later landed him again in another hospital i.e in Putrajaya. By then he was already in a serious condition. I managed to go to his house in Puncak Jalil with Amri & Leo that Friday night to recite surah Yassin together with his friends and housemates. I left his house reaching home by 3.00 am that Saturday morning and by 5.00am I was informed of his demised. I cannot attend his funeral in Kampar but my prayers was with him all the way. Al Fatihah for arwah Bush...


SUNGAI KLAH, HOT SPRING & SPA

Fast forward to next Friday...I was on leave because I had an annual check up appointment with Optimex Laser Eyes Centre. I did my LASIK a few years back and to have the life guarantee remain effective, I had to do the annual check up. There are a few Optimex branches and I chose the one in Sunway which is near Sunway Pyramid. It took about 1 hour to complete and I had to undergone various test using various machines. The result was OK and my next appointment will be around February 2011.

I went home. Ednel came to my house around 4.00pm after finishing his brainstorming session in Shah Alam. By 8.00pm, Ednel left and I went to Is' s house to pick him up. We were supposed to meet Panzer, Amri and Leo at Saba, Cyberjaya for dinner. Had our dinner, we later went to Padi for coffee. It was here that we had our discussion for place to go next day. Among the listed places were, Kalumpang Resort, Sekeping Serendah, Majestic Hotel in Ipoh via train..this was one of our crazy ideas...the last minute thang again... I remembered about a hot spring in Sungkai which I went so many years ago and we googled about it. We even called the place to enquire about the room and found out that the rates per room is RM220.00 per nite. All agreed to go to that place in the morning.

Being a last minute thing will meant that some of our other friends cannot come. Ednel had prior arrangement, Shah will had his paper valuation for his studies but the rest of us were keen enough to go.

In the morning, Is gave us a good news i.e he knew someone working in the resort and was able to give a discounted rate of RM180 per room per nite.

Is came to my condo and parked his car in my parking lot. We went to Bandar Mahkota, Nilai and picked up Panzer. We met Leo and Amri at the Rawang rest area and we headed to Tanjong Malim for lunch. It was here that, Is's friend recommend us to take up a villa instead of rooms. A 3 rooms villa with the original rate of Rm880 to RM1,000 was given a discounted rate of RM550. Little that we know, that his friend was the head manager of the resort. However, we have decided to look at the place first before making any decision. Once we reached Tanjong Malim, we picked Shah and had our lunch at Yik Mun Restaurant again.

Concentrating on our delicious food...yum yum

Shah was there for lunch...yup the red thing hanging was a tissue to avoid any marks to my white T-shirt..

Dropped back Shah at his college and we went straight to Sungkai, reaching the Felda Residence Hot Spring & Spa in Sungai Klah near 2.00 am. At the reception area, the manager, Mr Haridas was waiting for us. Upon our request, he brought us to see the the hotel room.

Taking picture near the hotel room..

After inspecting the room, Mr Haridas then brought us to see the villa, not more than one kilometer from the reception area. We fall in love with the villa and decided to take the offer.

This is one of the spa area ... I had a massage here by an elderly man, RM90 per hour...

Even after the massage, my back was killing me... I had to meet Makcik Normah who cured me of my back pain the next day...

We had dinner at a stall near our villa...see how hungry we were...
The makcik (owner of the restaurant - far left) had a hard time to calculate what we ate, plus Is with other foods to take away...
