Tiff's Lounge

Few weeks ago, I had a wonderful day spent with May, Yikki and Billy. They came to KL all the way from Johor for attending some event. Of course, I was happy to meet up with them especially May (she's witty and I always like her cuteness).

They had lunch at Crystal Jade. I liked the desert very much which was a combination of pancake and mango. I would love to show u the pancake but the pic isn't with me =(


us at Crystal Jade, before leaving.


We dropped by Times Square before going for our dinner at Jalan Alor.


And we were thrilled to see the massive traffics at Jln. Bukit Bintang. (not that thrilled la. saja cakap. lol)

The night was spent by enjoying the drinking session at Tiff's Lounge (thanks Connie for the correction ;p) at Starhill Gallery. It was fun. Amazing night view there.


I love the lamp!


I was a granny and May was a sexy secretary. lol!


Thanks Yikki, the photographer =)


Dirty Martini was nice. So was my Mojito ;) arr not to mention the tiramisu!



It's a great place to have your eyes lay on the beautiful lights and get yourself relax.

Excuses of not blogging

I just noticed my updates have reduced "dramatically" from 20 posts a month back then, to minimum of 2 posts a month! What have happened to me? Of course, I have a brief list of reasons why I haven't been updating my blog in a timely manner. (who would be bothered, anyway?-_-" )

• I've lost the motivation to write about my not-so-happening life after reading so many amazing bloggers out there who have been writing about things that 101% more interesting than mine.
• Studies- Few assignments and presentations in less than 2 months time and I've been spending time to find some journal and reading them. Other than that, doing tutorials whenever I can. (at least I'm trying to work out with that. So I'm not totally a lazy bump)
• Knitting - That's the "secret project" that I've been working on. It's not a secret anymore as I foolishly continued knitting when I was chatting over skype with someone and turning on my webcam at the same time, without realizing I actually DID.
  
• There are quite a few series that I've seen lately, while busy knitting the scarf. (I'm good in multi-tasking, especially in this kind of stuff which is normally not a good practice) Let see, what series I've watched? I've done watching Ugly Betty (season 2), Gossip Girls, Cashmere Mafia (Ep 6 is out now! *exciting ), Project Runway Canada (still 2 episodes to go! a nice show which has caused me dreaming about becoming an awesome designer), Nodame Cantabile (a J-dorama which I have to admit, I'm still yet to finish watching it. It's a nice show for laughing out loud, tho.), and last but not least- the infamous Japanese anime - Bleach! Yes, I do watch Bleach cos Kurosaki is SO cool.

The 4 gorgeous lady in Cashmere Mafia and I'm loving Lucy Liu the most ;)


The coolest guy ever- Kurosaki! (I still have more than 100 ep to finish. Argh I'm so slow.)

• If only I can stop myself from sitting in front of the calender and counting the days down, then I should have more time to be spent on updating my blog. But you see, I can't wait for this coming Saturday. It's all because of him coming back =) I can feel the way he holds my hand as we fall asleep again. All of those littlest things that make me smile :))
• Laziness. (well, this is probably the most truthful!)

I should stop giving lame excuses. I will try to be better at regular updates. I promise. Unless something else comes up to.

Happy V'Day

I've got back home yesterday evening and my parcel was there, on the table. =)

So I opened it.. and I smiled :)

It's beautiful ;)



Thank you, babe. I like it very much ;)

I <3 the card you made. It's really sweeeeet :)



I'm a happy Em. and I just need to hang on for one more week! just one more! =)

Happy Valentine's Day for couples and Happy Single Awareness Day for the singles! ;)

Sarawak's trip part 2

After a much long week, here's the part 2 of my Sarawak's trip. (All of my friends have updated the whole trip but still I'm still writing it. I've been pretty lazy lately.) *smacks head

After got back from Kuching, we spent our night at Teresa's house. The next morning we started our journey to Miri by cars and it was indeed a bumpy ride, as the road condition was.. you know.. :)



Soon after we reached Miri, we went to Uncle Tay's house. Aunty Tay was so nice to cook us some food before we took off to Museum Petroleum.


Lai Hoong and I :)


Lit Shiuan caught a bug! *runs away*


pouting Billy and I. (acting sexy eh, Bill? lol.)


I know you're strong, Lit Shiuan! :p

Miri Crocodile's Farm was our next hop. There were plenty of animals there ranging from the animals we usually see - monkeys, birds, ducks to some more exciting one - bats, bears, crocodiles, and the world's most dangerous bird. The Southern Cassowary is known as the world's most dangerous bird by the World Record. Yes, it has beautiful eyes and colorful furs at the neck's part but don't ever think of petting it lol. The probability of you getting attacked would be much likely greater than 1. ;)




That's the bird :/


RM12 for one crocodile egg. well, we shouldn't be harming them..


they're hugeeeeee and keep sleeping.


Hill Myna (Burung Tiung). A very smart bird as it will imitate ur voice.


A stork.. it looks scary :/

Asean Bridge (or Batand Baram Bridge) is a bridge which connecting Sarawak and Brunei. It is the longest bridge in Miri and we stopped at the small port right beside the bridge.


we were too free so we did some stupid thing ;P


some scene nearby the bridge. *taken by Billy

I love the sun shining on my face.

We had tried some Iban's snacks at a stall next to the port. It's made by fried mee-hun which I first felt weird. Anyway it's very crispy, so it's all good. =) Just a bit oily tho.

The next morning, we snapped a group photo before venturing into the Lambir National Park.



Clockwise: Timothy, Billy, me, Kar Ling and Lai Hoong

I always loathe bathing myself in unimaginably cold water during cloudy weather, so I decided not to get wet in water fall. Heh, at least I dipped my legs inside the water and tried to catch some tiny prawns. lol


curious us looking at the small lil' prawn

We had a fun picnic at the lawn not far from the main office of the national park. My stomach is big enough to fill in with few serving of tuna sandwiches, eggs and hot dogs. lol. No wonder I've been trying hard to shed a few pounds but the reading on the weighing scale never satisfied me. ;(

Before going back home, we had some sight-seeing and passed by the "first traffic light on the bridge" in Malaysia, which located at Old Lutong. According to Aunty Tay, the bridge was built by Shell long time ago.

I would say the next hour after we visited Taman Awam in Miri, would be one of my best moment in my life for witnessing some breath-taking scenery, I mean. ;) Because I've seen the best sunset in Tanjung Lobang Beach. :)




Teresa, Kar Ling and I =)


We smiled. We laughed out loud.


We laughed out louder, and gone crazy that we couldn't control ourself from acting stupid. lol




to hold ur hand and watch the sun goes down - how I wish..

Last night in Miri was spent in hanging around at the Miri City Fan. Ivan used his camera and tripod to test some shots. We had a lot of fun for doing the testing lol.




Aunty Tay cooked some delicious fried mee-hun for us in the next morning, before we left their house. On the other hand, I just couldn't stop taking photos of plants in her lovely garden ;)




I love how the pink looks like. =)





Goodbye Miri! Next, Niah Cave and Bintulu =)

Bubbly

my Dearest,

Congrats on the good news today :) I'm so happy for you. I couldn't stop smiling when I heard your chirpy voice telling me how happy you're. I know you can make it through cos you're the man. Please tell me that you liked the cards very much. Please. Please tell me that you wanna send me some cards, too. Well, one card is more than enough. :p And I shouldn't be telling you that I have been working on a secret project lately and because of it is a secret project, I can't tell you what it is all about (^.~)

Till then, Chu. (^*^)

Listening to Bubbly. alone.



It starts in my soul
And I lose all control
When you kiss my nose
The feeling shows
Cause you make me smile baby
Just take your time now
Holdin' me ti-i-ight


Where ever, Where ever, Where ever you go
Where ever, Where ever, Where ever you go

P.S. I Love You.

Sarawak's trip part 1 *Edited

Having not writing any proper post have made me feel really bad - my ignorance of the blog and not replying the comments frequently. I have few posts yet need to be published but now I will concentrate on writing my trip to Sarawak for 14 days. Yes, it's my longest trip ever! I'll be separating my itinerary into 3 parts (Kuching, Miri & Bintulu), or possibly 4 parts including my feed back of this trip.


Billy and I, waiting for departure at LCCT. What happened to my eyes? Arr must be making eye contact with Kar Ling.. lol. picture taken by Lit Shiuan.

The trip started off officially after we waved goodbye to KLIA by peeping through the side window of the airplane. There were total 7 of us, sitting the flight to Bintulu.




Billy's acting like some Bollywood stars lol!

We spent our first night at Teresa's house in Bintulu before departing to Kuching.


Took this in the van whilst Uncle Alex (Teresa's father) fetching us to their house ;) From right: Lit Shiuan, Teresa, me, Lai Hoong, Ivan, Kar Ling and Billy.

Because of the tiredness in me, I couldn't wake up in time to join them for breakfast. Thanks to Teresa for tabao some food for 3 of us who didn't wake up early in the morning. :)

Right after we reached Kuching Airport, the taxis brought us to Fata Hotel, a budget hotel we stayed in during our 4 days 3 nights trip in Kuching. After meeting one of our best-tour-guide ever Alvin, we took a walk to Sarawak Museum.


Lai Hoong showing the museum. Isn't she a good poser? :P


Look!! A traditional tribe in Sarawak, with scarry ear piercing and tattoos.

We also did some pepper-buying at Indian Street after having some camwhoring.


Top: The poser beside me, Lit Shiuan. Bottom: Billy's acting really cute. =)

The beef noodles and some deserts we had (combination of cendol, red beans and ABC) at a local hawker center were pretty delicious. I didn't take any picture as I was too hungry lol.


Billy and Ivan. (look at Ivan's semi pro digital camera! Ahh I missed my sis's dSLR!! Sometime it's not that good for just bringing a point-n-shoot during your getaway, you see. You will always miss some nice shots. *sigh)

Anyway, the evening gone by us hanging around at the Riverfront with endless photo-taking.


He's really thirsty, I warn you. (nice acting, Bill! grins*)


Top: Ivan and I. Bottom: Me and Billy nearly "fell" into the little pond.


Ivan was checking out the pics he has taken whilst me being curious what he's looking at.


See! I told you that I'm strong! :P


Even Billy was strong enough to open its mouth. But he's too naughty even the crocodile wanted to bite his head off. *laughs


Lit Shiuan and I.. taken in front of Charles Brooke Statue. Ish..I need to get more sleep to get rid of those ugly dark circles! *cries*


Me and Lai Hoong ;)

We felt quite tired and so we took a ride on a boat to a stall at the other side of the river.


Kar Ling the best poser! :P


That's the little red boat we were riding.


Riverside's night view. Arr that's Hilton! lol.

Now let me tell you a lil' story...
You see, Ivan had bought some pau because he was hungry.

He felt like nausea after eating it as the pau didn't taste that good as it seemed.

So, he thrown it on the floor. But wait!

Poor lil' hungry boy... Let big sista buy u some food :P

p/s: I should really present the best actor award for him, Billy :P

The first night in Kuching ended pretty well with endless laughters and excitements, especially during the drinking session at Havana Cafe. Before heading to Havana, 4 of us (Ivan, Lai Hong, Billy and I) had a nice supper at Spring Forest Restaurant which was very near to our hotel whilst the others were resting in their rooms. Love the prawn cocktail!!

We met Yu Loon and Alvin as well in the next morning and then headed to a kopitiam for breakfast by Yu Loon's car.


The Laksa we had ;) It's yummy.

The Cultural Village was our next stop after breakfast. It was a rather long and bumpy journey as the road was quite winding. Almost all of our attempts trying to take a decent picture failed but we had a good laugh.


See how blurry it is.


A clearer one :)


We saw the Mount Santubong from afar on our way to Cultural Village.

Here's some tools the people used during the old days. Yu Loon and Alvin did some demonstration :) As you seen from the pic, it's one of the traditional houses shown in Cultural Village.



This aunty showing us her amazing clothes making skills.


Group photo :)


Again. This was taken at the Orang Ulu's house. from top to bottom: Billy, Teresa, Lai Hoong, me, Kar Ling and Lit Shiuan (geez u looked shock!)




Some "stunts" they played during the show.


Of course, there were also some traditional dancing representing the different of ethnicity in Malaysia. The show was really nice. :)

After the cultural show, we dropped by each of the traditional houses of different ethnics in Sarawak.


Wind's blowing. Soul's flying. I'm missing you.

Our next stop was Damai Beach at Holiday Inn Resort. I didn't take any picture as I was missing someone while looking blankly at the sea. the wave. feeling the breeze. anything.

We stopped by at a seafood restaurant to fill something into our stomach before heading to a temple, which loosely translated as The Rock of Green Hill. (sorry for my poor vocab)

I risked myself by climbing my way up there lol.


And I couldn't be happier after seeing so many GOLD! Okay.. those are not gold, but foot print of Lord Buddha.(according to Lit shiuan)

We had some Char Kuey and Beef Noodles for dinner and as usual, some beer to cool down us. :) The only thing that disappointed me was the prawns I had (prawn cocktail) were less than the day before. :((

Alwin brought us to a shop for Kolo Mee, on our 3rd day in Kuching. We waited for at least half an hour, only for the seats. Yes! Crazy.




The mee was pretty nice, with pork and its intestine. (yea, I do eat them :p)

After gaining enough energy, we started to do some shopping at the souvenir street. (I forgot the name of the street but oh well, basically it's a street fulled with souvenir shops..)


Stopped by at a temple next to the souvenir street.


What a tiring day. See. Alwin was so tired that he could fall asleep behind the car!:P


Went to Boulevard before going for our dinner. Don't get cheated by its outlook. Alamanda is better than this :P


Delicious Kuey Chap! I really love eating it. And I couldn't resist myself for ordering twice. I know I'm a big eater :P


They had some tomatoes noodles.

Our last night in Kuching spent with camwhoring at Cheng Ho's Garden.


Top: Billy and I. Bottom: Alvin and I :)

And oh, of course, not forgetting the Tequila Pop!! Shiok-ness! :)))

The next morning we had breakfast with Yu Loon and Alvin again before flying off to Bintulu :)
Porridge was what I ate as I was unfeeling well. :( Must be the tequila. heh.


Group photo at Kuching Airport.


Goodbye Kuching. Hello Bintulu and Miri =)
Thanks to Lit Shiuan for taking this pic.. u magically made me look thinner. lol!

I'll be updating more pictures after this. Miri and Bintulu's post coming soon. :)
