Dinner at Restaurant Tan Nyu Y.

18.11.09

Brought my sisters out for dinner tonight. Had no idea which restaurant to go. Simone went to one of a restaurant in Hanson Road with her friends few weeks ago. She said the food taste alright and the price was quite economical as well. But she didn't remember the address. Therefore, we had to search the address from 'google'.

As soon as we arrived, I was suprised! This was one of my favourite restaurant which had closed down about a year ago. We went in the restaurant. The restaurant looked totally different. The renovation, decoration, and the settings of the restaurant. However, the name of the restaurant is still the same. Hence, I asked one of the waiter if the restaurant is still under the same management/owner and he said yes.

Later, the owner came and have a chat with me and said she still recognized me. Eventhough, I used to went there quite often but I never thought the the owner of the restaurant will remember me (Frankly, I can't even re-call a tiny bit of her face).

This is their new menu.

And this is the set dinner menu.

We order a set dinner which include; soup of the day, and 3 dishes of your choice from the set dinner menu. Steam rice: $1.50/person.

Soup of the day.

Salt and pepper squid.

Chicken hotpot.

Steam flounder with ginger and shallot.

Movie Night: 2012 The Movie

17.11.09

Today was tight-ass Tuesday. Everything is cheaper on Tuesday. Regan rang me up and tell me that Nicole had inform him about having a movie night tonight. "2012"... A movie we had waited since we first saw it's trailer. Yahoooo!!!

Never before has a date in history been so significant to so many cultures, so many religions, scientists, and governments. 2012 is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.

Disaster movie maven Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) crafts this apocalyptic sci-fi thriller following the prophecy stated by the ancient Mayan calendar, which says that the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012. When a global cataclysm thrusts the world into chaos, divorced writer and father Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) joins the race to ensure that humankind is not completely wiped out. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Danny Glover, Amanda Peet, Thandie Newton, and Oliver Platt round out the cast of this end-of-the-world thriller co-scripted by the director and his 10,000 B.C. writer/composer, Harald Kloser.

Centuries ago, the Mayans left us their calendar, with a clear end date and all that it implies. Since then, astrologists have discovered it, numerologists have found patterns that predict it, geologists say the earth is overdue for it, and even government scientists cannot deny the cataclysm of epic proportions that awaits the earth in 2012. A prophecy that began with the Mayans has now been well-chronicled, discussed, taken apart and examined. By 2012, we'll know we were warned...

Shopaholic

17.11.09

Was my day off from work again. Was a bit bored. Nothing much to do. So, I decided to just ramble around some nearby shops. And I don't know since when had I develop this "Shopaholic" syndrome.

I used to go out for shopping the whole day without even to buy a single thing. But now? Can't even get out from the house and come back empty handed, eventhough I just plan for a window shopping. HHeellpppp!!!

Below are the stuff that I bought from just 2-3 hours rambling at ONLY 2 shops. Hahaha...

6 cook books for mom and a puzzle book for myself.

This is a whole box full of the stuff I bought from e-bay (not including some already given out as presents and a few that had been open).

3 boxes of colors napkins (Bought it because of the fancy and attractive colors, I suppose).

Board games.

More board games.

"Winnie the Pooh" tapestry.

Shoe sandals for me and my sisters. Would have guess which color is mine.
Of course the one closest to pink = Red. As there were no more pink color. >.<

Red= mine; Green= Simone; Purple = Wynelle.

A T-shirt for my BFF's birthday. Shhh...

A shirt and some ties for dad.

Guess what's this cute lil' thingy? -Candle. Can you believe it? It's for Nicole and Regan. ^.*

PR Label and Budget McDonald Lunch.

09.11.09

Today had a day off from work and thought I might just go to the city and have my PR's (permenant-resident) visa labeled in my passport. By the way, for those of you who missed the good news: my PR just got approved couple of months ago.

I had been working only on night shift for nearly a year now. So, having to wake up in the morning really kills me. What's worst? A really hot and sunny day.

Okie, okie. Back to the point. I woke up about 11am and get ready to head down to the city by train. Having to walk about 15 min. from my house to the train station start burning my skin. >.<>

Felt heaps better when I got in the immigration department as there were air-con. However, the 'Q' was quite long. There were about 15 people in front of me. Gosh!!! It tooks FOREVER!!! At last, it was my turn after nearly an hour wait. By the time I walked in front of the reception and told the receptionist what I'm after. She gave me a ticket with number and asked me to wait on the other side for my number to be called. "NOT AGAIN?" - I mumbled to myself.

Luckily, it only took about 5 min. wait before my number was displayed on the screen. After I had my passport labeled, I was so happy and excited. This feeling was exactly the same when I first got the news regarding my PR approval. How strange!!!

This is my PR visa label. ^.^

Soon after that, I went to find a place to have my brunch. I had nothing in my stomach since this morning. *GGrrruuu, ggrrruuu..." - Stomach was calling. Didn't want to go far. Therefore, just searching somewhere nearby. Found a korean restaurant... "CLOSED" was displayed at the entrance. I looked at the opening hours. 5 min. passed the closing time. How unfortunate that was? *DISAPPOINTED*. Looked left, looked right... Just a bakery. Nah... Bread would be the last in my list. Well, probably McDonald is the last choice before the bread. Better than starved to death. Below are what I got for $4. Not bad, huh? ^.*

1. Mini frozen strawberries: $1

2. Apple pie: $1

3. Deluxe cheese burger: $1.95

Deluxe cheese burger inside the box.

Is this what they called DELUXE? Haha...

Gathering Night with my BFF.

03.11.09

This is our first gathering since Nicole had her annual leave for a month from 3rd October. That's one of the reason why there's not much update on my blog after since. Within that month, me and Regan didn't had much activities on. We just went out for shopping once at BIG W and had bought Nicole her pressies. I bought a dress as well which was on special for $20. ^.^

Nicole just got back to work last week and Regan started his one month annual leave this week. Hhhrrmmm...... WHEN'S MY TURN??? T.T Anyway, Regan picked me up around 9:15pm. Then, went straight to Nicole's before heading to Ying Chow for dinner.

This is the dish that I order: E-Shan beef ($9.80)

Nicole with her RED hair, and Michael.

Starving, tired, cripple Reggie? Lol... Why? From his morning walk plus some "GARDENING" at his backyard. That's why he can't even smile. >.<

After dinner, we went back to Nicole's house to play the "Harry Porter Cluedo" that Regan bought for Nicole's birthday pressie. Then, we were talking about the cartoons we all used to watch back in the oldies compare to most of the sh*tty one that they have now.

Among those that we found were: Pinky and the Brain, Animaniacs, Tiny Toon Adventures, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dragonball Z, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, The Simpons, Darkwing Duck, Ghostbusters, etc.

It was fun. Having recall most of the old times favourites cartoon and singing those theme songs.

My New Art Work.

16.10.09

Have couple if days off and wondering what to do. And found the empty canvas that I bought months ago. So, I decided to draw. Guess what I draw? ... ... ... ^_*

Just an empty/plain canvas before I start to draw. Hahaha...

Here's my new art work: Cinderella. ^.^

Instant Porridge?!?!

16.10.09

The other day, me and Wyn went to shop at the nearby Asian Groccery. While browsing at the instant noodle's aisle, we saw there were instant porridge as well. Therefore, we bought some to try. Tonight, me and Wyn cooked one of the instant porridge (combination flavour) for supper.

This is the combination flavour instant porridge.

And this is what's inside: The porridge oat, sesame oil, dried spring onion, flavouring, and a spoon. Lol... ^.^

The taste of the instant porridge was alright. For those of you who like porridge but lazy to cook, you can try one of these instant porridge. There are 6 flavours which include: combination, chicken, beef, shrimp, fish, and vegetarian.

3D puzzle.

15.10.09

I went to shopping today at BIG W. And I saw some of these puzzle were on sales. Browsed for a bit as both of my sis. like puzzle. Then found these small 24 pcs. 3D puzzle. I remember when I went back Malaysia in Feb., I went to one of the puzzle shop and saw the smallest 3D puzzle which is about the same size that I found in BIG W, cost about RM50 (around AUD 25). And here? Not even AUD 10. But they only had Bob the Builder. @_@ So, i bought 3 of them. One for myself and the other 2 for my other 2 sisters.

At the same night, me and Wyn started to solve the puzzle.

This is my 3D - Bob the Builder - puzzle.

Here's all the 24 pcs.

Halfway on finishing the 3D puzzle.

This is Wyn's 3D - Bob the Builder - puzzle.

She's very excited on opening her pressie. ^.^

Nearly finish up the 3D puzzle.

Tadaa--> This is my solved 3D puzzle. Hahaha... ^.*

And this is Wyn's solved 3D puzzle.

This is our wonderful collection. =P
