Axian Dim Sum, Puchong

2009-09-07T00:47:00.001-07:00

Eugene, his parents and I went to Axian Dim Sum on Saturday morning.
I read some blog posts previously which really gave some good comments on the dim sum. So I am rather excited to try the dim sum.
However, the dim sum turned out to be so-so only given the price @ RM4.50 a basket!!!
The so called in-house specialty of har mai is a great disappointment. Most of the prawn dim sum are not nice because the prawns are not fresh.
I would give more credit to the normal pork siu mai, pai kuat and other pork stuffed dim sum. But just in comparison to the prawn dim sum; not that great after all :(
Anway, this is a one time visit for us.
Bye bye, Axian!

Oh my, oh my...test drive...

2009-05-10T18:39:00.000-07:00

On Saturday, I have test drove 6 cars...six!

Hyundai i10
Hyundai Getz
Proton Saga
Proton Savvy
Perodua MyVi
Perodua Viva

ooh! I am so so so headache after driving so many cars....:S

These are my two cents:

i10 - NOISY. Too bad!!! If this car is quiet, make me feel comfortable, not headache, not dizzy...I will definitely get this car! too bad....
Getz - Better than i10. Comfortable...but a bit too expensive...:( and only the dull black, silver and maroon colors available...imagine that...
Saga - well...feel the car is heavy...I am already heavy...I want a car that makes me feel 'light'...
Savvy - AMT - what a funny car with dual mode...please forgive me, I do not know how to handle this car...
MyVi - well...feel okay with this car...the caribbean blue color is nice and makes you feel like in beach vacation :)
Viva - Surprise!!! This car actually surprised me...as it makes me feel comfortable... but a bit bumpy...

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

After some consideration...I should be getting MyVi...coz...

Toyota technology...
affordable
easy to service
nice color available :p

Latio's Disaster

2008-11-23T15:50:00.000-08:00

Something happened to Latio.
Our front porch light blew, bombed, and the glass containing the lights broken.
So this is a small matter rite? The BIG problem is that Latio is parked rite there...so....this was what happened...

The lights were burned...the glasses broken...our ceiling is black...

The "unfortunate" Latio is parked rite there...

The wind screen was burned...and broken...

It is like our house & car being attacked by Loan Shark with petrol bomb...

Another picture...

Close up view...

Even closer view...

Lessons learned:

Always check that your lights are working. Do not contain the light in glass box...it might get overheated...
Well...in term of where to park your car...still i donno...it is either under your own porch or open car park...well...i guess when things wanna happen, it just happen...a "not very good" day i guess...as i dun like to use the word "b*d"...

BLACKLISTED - RIVER VIEW SEAFOOD RESTAURANT, KUALA SELANGOR

2008-11-22T16:22:00.000-08:00

Eugene & I went to Kuala Selangor to try out the so called "famous" seafood there...We were quite excited as this is our very first time visting Kuala Selangor...
It is quite a long drive from our house...the journey took about 1 hour...
By time we reached there, we were quite relieved and hungry :p...
As we not sure which restaurant is nice, we just decided to choose the one with the most crowd, thinking that might not go wrong!!!
So we went to this River View Seafood Restaurant. It was full of people eating, drinking, and singing birthday song...so we ordered while the staff cleaned up the table (for which just left)...
We ordered steamed crab with egg, buttered prawn, fried oyster, and fried vege.
So we waited quite a while for the food to be served.
The first dish is the vege...ok...it looked nice, tasted not bad and the vege was fresh...
okay, then came the fried oyster...I donno y, but it was cold and tasteless... (and the oysters were so small...)
Then we waited for another good 30 minutes to get our prawns & crab...
But crap, the food is cold, tasteless and not fresh seafood!!! What do you call yourself as a "famous" fishing village, when your seafood aren't fresh!!! Totally totally disappointing.

Boys and girls, recognize this restaurant!!!

Never ever step in there for seafood...

NEVER!!!

I really wondered!!!

Why are there so many customers?

Something wrong with their taste buds?

The only nice to eat dish - The thai style vege.

I donno about other restaurants there, but omg, this really left me a bad image on Kuala Selangor Seafood Restaurant...no offence to K.S residents...just this restaurant...haissssssss...

Disney's Bolt

2008-11-20T20:20:00.000-08:00

The film is about Bolt (John Travolta), a small white German Shepherd who has lived all his life on the set of a TV show in which he portrays a superhero dog. As a result, he thinks that his superpowers, and events on film, are real. When he is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he embarks on a cross-country journey to reunite with his owner and co-star, Penny (Miley Cyrus). Along the way, Bolt teams up with a jaded housecat named Mittens (Susie Essman) and a TV-obsessed hamster named Rhino (Mark Walton) who also happens to be an extreme Bolt fanboy, and eventually he discovers that he doesn't need superpowers to be a hero.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_(film)

Here are some cute photos of Bolt :). Eugene wanna get the plush toy of Bolt dy...but now not popular yet...hopefully Toy 'r' Us will sell a cute one...

Personal Shopper

Read this in a fashion magazine. Now, you don't have to worry putting on wrong styles...
Nice!!!

Rebonded hair

2008-11-16T17:42:00.000-08:00

On 16 Nov 2008, I did my first ever hair rebonding!!!
I went to b-Wah saloon at Tmn Malim Jaya, Melaka as per recommended by Lay Kuen.
At first, I wanted to curl, but I was quite scared that my hair will look like being bombed!
So I decided to do rebonding instead.
So b-Wah, who is the lady boss, gave me hair cut first. Then the workers started to put the chemical on my hair for rebonding & steam my hair...then I just wait wait wait...after some 40 minutes, they washed off the chemicals, straighten & blew my hair dry...then I was given a hair mask & steam...wait wait wait...then wash and blew dry...volla!!! I am done with rebonding!!!
The whole process took me about 2.5 hours and cost me RM200 :p
I may add some color to my hair later :p...will see...

My hometown Melaka :)

2008-11-15T17:53:00.000-08:00

On 15 Nov 2008, a few of my NGA coligs have visited Melaka. We went out together on that rainy Saturday (raining becoz of D*rr*ck, ha ha ha).
Note: Photos courtesy of Jonathan :).

That nite, we ride Taming Sari...We were inside the ride while Jonathan took this pic! :) It looks stunning in picture! The ride cost RM10 and it is very fast. It is quite fun for an experience, I would say :)

In the afternoon earlier, we went to Donald & Lily's corner to have our cendol and nyonya food.
All in all, I would say the only nice one is the cendol! :p, I am sorry, but I have to be honest...coz the foodl is not very nice...
This is the nyonya laksa, personally I think the santan is too thick and lack of aroma :p

This is the so-called asam fish...the lady's fingers are nice...the fish is ok...but the asam (or curry instead?!) is quite thick...taste a bit ... errrr... i donno how to describe...but not very nice...

This is the Pong Teh chicken...it is too sweet liao...I donno y sooooooo sweet....

We saw this near A Famosa...there was an exhibition...the gasing is quite geng hehe...

This old man is making wooden stool pail.... imagine that...

The man-made windmill opposite The Stadhuys...it looks quite beautiful in picture! So cute!!!

The Christ Church next to The Stadhuys.

St. Paul's hill.

Audrey, YanYan, Carrie, & I

Also, we ate Chung Hua chicken rice & 'wan li xiang' satay celup & had coffee at 13 States Coffee...

P/S: I am going to ride Eye On Malaysia on the coming weekend :)

DR. Fish Spa

2008-11-02T21:18:00.000-08:00

On Sunday, I did my first (and maybe also last?!) fish spa treatment. I went to this place called DR. Fish Spa at Dataran Sunway Kota Damansara, PJ.
It is RM38/45minutes.
When we (Eugene & I) entered the shop, we were required to change to slippers and wash our feet. Then we were ready to feed the hungry (I assume so...:p) fish...
Oh gosh....I was so scared when all the fish swam to my legs and started eating...the feeling is so weird, I can't help but grabing Eugene's hand...hard, real hard!!! ha ha ha...
But the weird feeling went off just 1/2 minutes...then you can enjoy the rest of 43 minutes...ha ha ha...
In the mean time, I also played with the fish. I tried to grab them out of the air, but they are very alert... ha ha ha (I din't mean to kill them...just play play :p) they are very funny fish, I would say ha ha ha...
Time flies...when the slot finished, we washed our feet again, paid and then headed for dinner...
Well, this is quite a good experience, but I think not doing 2nd time...ha ha ha...
