staying in penang is bad for health!

it is very hard not to gain weight staying here, unless u have a really high metabolism rate and you can never get fat no matter how much you eat...how i wish...

i'm always tempted to try out new stuff. there is just so many to choose from - hawker, western, japanese, korean, taiwanese, thai, vietnamese, german...you name it!

to make things worse, the buffets here are so amazingly awesome! i've been eating buffet after buffet - international buffet, steamboat buffet, korean bbq buffet etc. etc...imagine how much food i've stuffed myself with..sigh~

i really need to exercise d...if not, another few more months i'll have to change my whole wardrobe d...need to buy bigger size clothes...

to start off, no more buffet unless got occasion or need to celebrate someone's birthday. and then, i'll try to go jogging at least once a week. ganbatte!!

kay..time to watch england vs germany! have been down with world cup fever since last two weeks..hehe... ^_^

so here i am, spilling virtual ink once again. life has been really mundane since i got back. anyway, here's a wee snippet of what i did, where i went and how boring my life can be... :p

went to jj's place with chin feng during the new year weekend. we went around eating hawker food. Of course.




din really have many photos coz i was just too lazy. can't blame me, it was extremely hot and stuffy! hot weather makes me lazy to move or do anything at all.. :p

then we had bbq at jj's house on the 1st night of 2010..



i din take photos of the other stuff that we did, so no need to talk about that lar.. :p

after the penang trip, jj and i visited chin feng in SP. there is a stall in SP, at the local bus station, which sells really really good ice blended. too bad i don't have photos of it. it's really good! must try if you are in SP! i like the peanut and corn ones..hehe

after that, it was all about job hunting. actually, i din really thought of doing it until my mom start pestering me to get a job. i ended up applying for all of the big fours and went for two interviews, one in Petaling Jaya and another one in Penang. I have to go all the way down to PJ and Penang just for the interviews. very tiring..

luckily, i got job offers from both firms and finally decided on PWC Penang. i will be working in Penang starting 1st March...my whole family will be moving there as well, but at a later date. so long, Alor Star! :)

last but not least, i bought a car! Perodua ViVA. i bought a car without knowing how to drive. how cool is that. haha. y ViVA? first, it's affordable. second, i wanted a really, really small car so that it will be easier for me to handle. im really bad with driving. havent got the car yet tho. wen i get it, im going to pose with it and take a photo. my first car! hehe.

other than all these, i've just been sitting at home, eating, sleeping, watching tv and doing house chores. how fun and exciting! Sigh...

OK, this post is getting too long. i should stop now. thank you for reading. you must be really bored ay? hehe.

Malam Malaysia '09..CELEBRATE! :)

Thank you Malam team!

Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies! (glo's recipe)

Had fun mixing, baking, packing and decorating.. :p

glo asked me to blog about it so here it is!

Can't remember the name of the restaurant tho. it's the one opposite the korean grocer at church corner...

love the beef jam pong and ja jiang mien (don't really know the correct spelling, it sounded something like that)

Every Nation's Night of Stars..

herm, i think my blog is turning into a food blog..

i realised most of my posts are food-related.. :p

here's another one - Estudio-S

a Spanish restaurant on Victoria Street...

eggplant salad, ajillo mushrooms and roast potatoes..

very yummy side dishes...

didn't order main dishes coz we already had dinner...

our main objective was the 2 for 1 cocktail deal... :p

my drink - Michelada

a mix of tequila, salt, lemon and 2 other ingredients..

quite bitter and salty...

not too bad...

Glo's drink - Rossini

a mix of strawberry puree, cava and something else.. :p

need to ask Glo whether it's nice or not..

i personally don't like anything with strawberry flavour in it (i only like the fruit :p)

overall, a very nice and cozy restaurant...

the food is very tasty (love the eggplant salad)...

will need to try their main courses and desserts next time... :)

Just wanted to say that...

Tatsumi's Teppanyaki Eel on Rice is very yummy!!



The Lychee Liquor with Orange Juice (right) is also very nice! :D

The other one is Campari Liquor with Grapefruit Juice...taste a bit weird. Hehe

The restaurant is nice and cosy, I like! :D

IMO, worth trying! :)

I was really craving for tong sui for the past few days but I couldn't find any restaurant that sells anything other than red and green bean.

Therefore, due to my intense craving, I decided to make my own tong sui/dessert. At first, I was contemplating on whether to make bubur cha cha or bubur pulut hitam.

I finally decided on making bubur pulut hitam, mainly because I've never eaten it before and bubur cha cha is very fattening. :p

It is actually quite easy to make. Just follow the recipe nia.. :p

and after hours of soaking and boiling....TA DAA!!!

...my very own bubur pulut hitam!... :)

It was quite good actually! I can't believe I've never tried it before. Hmm...

Next time, I shall try to make longan tong sui! Hehe...

Had dinner at LoneStar for the first time with some of my coursemates. I had a small serving of lamb shank which includes 2 lamb shanks, a large scoop of mashed potatoes and a medium-sized bowl of salad. The mashed potatoes were really good! There were some crispy strips (don't really know what it is or what it is called) on the plate which were really, really tasty. The lamb shanks, to me, were alright, not particularly good or anything. I'm not really a fan of lamb anyway. Just thought it would be a waste not having tried a proper lamb meal in NZ. For the lamb shank, you can either have the small or large serving. I opted for the small serving coz someone told me that their servings are actually quite big. Even so, I couldn't finished it. The portion was huge! I was so super full! I practically have to force the second lamb shank down my throat! -_-"

The dinner cost me $25 which I think would be quite reasonable if you can share it with someone. I couldn't finish it alone so quite wasting. I managed to finish one and a half lamb shanks, barely touched the salad and there was still some mashed potatoes left on my plate. I didn't want to takeaway the leftovers coz it just feel weird. Hehe. At first, I was actually contemplating on whether to have the full serving or the small serving. Thank God, I didn't go with the full serving! Otherwise, it would have been worse! A few of us had lamb shank while the rest had salmon, fish, chicken, pork ribs etc. Their portions weren't that big compared to the lamb shank. Weird.

Anyway, I had a great dinner and great time hanging out with my coursemates. A good opportunity to get to know my coursemates better. *wink*

So ya, I had my first proper lamb meal in NZ and I am...satisfied! That makes another tick on my checklist of the must-do things in NZ before I leave. Hehe. ^_^
