"Forget" and "Forgive"

Recent newspaper news have reminded me of an episode of "Sex and the City" season 4 that talks about how to forget and forgive, and whichever should come first. I have to agree that people does made mistake, even politician and I believe everyone deserves a 2nd chance. And I don't care whether it's "kangkung" or "bayam", and whether they cook it using "oyster sauce" or "Belacan", just cut the crap and show us what you can do.

I think the same theory applies to relationship. If your partner made a big mistake, can you forgive him/her? Can you forget about the mistake done? "Forget and Forgive" or "Forgive and Forget", which one should come first?

It was Monday anyway that I felt kind of blues for the whole day. Called some close friends who're working in KL for dinner where I have to rush all the way from Cyberjaya to KL purposely for the dinner. It was 40 minutes of drive as the traffic was bad due to heavy rain. Driving is always not a big deal for me as long as the occasion worth it and these close friends (D & M) never disappoint me.

Before we went to Pavillion for dinner, we dropped by at Westin Hotel to get some breads from its bakery that offer 50% discount after 6pm. Just go and check it out next time if you're interested. We bought a seafood bun and a walnut croissant that 3 of us shared before the dinner. I was being greedy that I bought some for the next day's breakfast as well and the paper bag given was nice. Walked over to Pavillion for Japanese dinner and egg tart. According to Ms M, the durian tart tasted good but I wouldn't dare to try it. Drove back home alone at 10pm.



KeenYee is tired but happy for the Monday outing...

A lovely day with family and friends

Sunday, 19 OCT 2008 - Didn't sleep well the night before. Fell asleep on sofa until 5am before I went up and continued 2nd round of sleeping until 9am. I've decided to become a good son today as a driver of my dad where we’ve joined my relatives for "Bak Kut Teh" breakfast at Jln Imbi. I wasn't really familiar with that place as I rarely taken breakfast there. Just took a very small portion as rice isn't be my favourite when it comes to breakfast (except nasi lemak maybe), furthermore bak kut teh is just too heavy as breakfast....at least for myself. And the bak kut itself wasn’t that fantastic though.

Proceed to KLCC after the breakfast as my uncle wanted to bring his kids to the playground/swimming pool in KLCC Park. It was a hot day that I've chosen to shop around instead of becoming a salted fish under the hot sun...I just don't enjoy hot weather. How good if we can ever have winter here in KL? Does grass always greener on the other side?



In case you've noticed a photo of mine with eye mask up there....Yes, I did it. Have noticed some crow feets growing at the side of my eyes...Am I really getting older?

Back home after lunch where I’ve taken an hour of power nap before rushing to Kepong for dinner with Meg. She has recommended this restaurant as it serves good crab at very reasonable price (RM18 per kg…that’s awesome). We’ve ordered 2kg of crabs for 4 of us that we could hardly finish it as I'm not really a big eater though the size of my body doesn’t said so. And…the night ended with some drinks and snacks at nearby Old Town Kopitiam.

Meg, I always enjoy your company....always do.

Horror movie can be funny sometimes.

I’ve been busy with lot of stuffs for the past 2 days that have taken my time away from blogging. It was Saturday that I woke up early in the morning (7am) to go to “wet” market with my dad. It has been sometime since the last time I did so…felt sorry to my dad and I miss the food there.

It was still the same old market with people yelling here and there, some dirty water splashed around my foot from nowhere and of course some aunties gossiping about others. But I do like the food here very much with lot varieties of local Chinese food at reasonable price.

I was enjoying myself in market though I was really sleepy...

My car's mileage has knocked 15k km and it was time for another service. Don't know why, I just don’t enjoy sending my car for service where I have to sit there doing nothing for an hour. Luckily the Service Center does have free Wi-Fi that I still able use my mobile phone to do some web browsing and check out my favourite blogs.

At noon time, went for a movie (Souls Code) with a friend of mine. She booked the ticket earlier and just told me that it's a Thai horror movie where I have just said "OK" without much hesitation. We took a light lunch at the shopping mall before proceed with the movie. The cinema wasn't that empty as expected earlier since this is considered a foreign movie though the country itself (Thailand) is just above us. The whole movie watching experience was kind of funny though the movie itself was actually quite scary. Looking at other peoples' expression and reaction while watching horror movie can be a real fun thing to do....:)

Company DeepaRaya Dinner

Knowing that I won't have much work to do for these few days, went to office with a holiday mood. Purposely woke up earlier at the morning to do ironing, which I've picked a shirt that I bought few years back in Bangladesh for my company DeepaRaya dinner. This is an annual dinner organized by our company's social commitee to celebrate Hari Raya + Deepavali. Thanks for their effort. The dress code for this year is "Traditional". Took me sometime the night before to think of the shirt that can match with the theme.

Later at noon, went to a nearby mall in Putrajaya with a few close friends of mine. I remembered that we used to have a debate on pronounciation of the mall's name "Alamanda".

Me: Hey, how do you guys actually pronounce this name?

Nesh: Ala-manda....

Lyn: Really?

Me: I think should be Alam-anda...

White boy: Nah..it's actually a muslim name of an English lady.

Lyn: Are you sure?

Me: Oh yea....how would it be?

White boy: It's Al-Amanda!!!

It was kind of funny at that time. Haha, this boy really can make us laugh. Anyway, we weren't suppose to eat so much as we'll have another round of buffet dinner in few hours time. However, someone suggested pizza and all of us agreed. After a cup of mushroom soup, a breadstick, a slice of garlic bun and 3 slices of pizza...my jeans started to feel tight. I knew tonight is gonna be tough!!!

Few hours later whileI still can feel those pizza floating inside my stomach, we went to the nearby resort (Cyberview Resort) for the DeepaRaya dinner. Reached the resort in less than 3 minutes drive. The resort has a very nice swimming pool with an artificial waterfall. And coincidencely, there was a garden wedding going on at the same time...another lovely couple tied the knot at this romantic place...wish them happily ever after.

Dinner started at around 7pm. Food variety wasn't that much and the food quality was just fine. Started with vegetable shark fin soup followed by salad, main course (Fried kuey tiew, vegetables, vegetable green curry, chicken rendang, mutton curry and baked potato), dessert and a cup of coffee...it's gonna take me the next whole week of jogging to burn these. Anyway, I had a great time snapping photo with the 2 angels and had a nice chat with some other colleague.

KEENYEE is always appreciating the moment like this...

Meaty Dinner + Starbucks = Awesome

Thursday, the day that I used to dislike due to the weekly night conference call. I'd been stucked in the office from 9-10pm, every thursday for the past 3-4 months just to attend the call. It was a tough time but I'm glad that the project has been released successfully...Thanks to all my team mates, I'm always glad to work with everyone of you.

Since there's no more night conference call to attend, I told myself that I won't stay at home today!!! Hence, went to Taipan for dinner with a friend of mine. It was a tough decision to pick a dining place around that area as there are lot of them....a lot. But since I'm always saying that I'm on diet, I picked a small cafe that serve meaty food...sausages, ham, pork knuckle etc. Well , doesn't sounds like a diet plan at all huh...I knew, but that's me (couldn't resist when it comes to food). The food served was good and I had a great time with my companion.

Proceed to Starbucks for some coffee though our stomach was really out of space. Had a favourite drink of mine aka Blended Espresso. Just don't know why do I like it so much but sometimes you don't need any reason to like something, do you? Was looking around and wondering why this place was crowded even on weekday...students, parents with kids are all around the place.

Didn't really stay too long as it's a weekday anyway, left the place at 10:30pm.

BTW, I'm missing those beers...Let's go for drink someday, Meg..please.....:)

Sushi King Card Bonanza

Wasn't planned to take lunch out there (FYI, my company does provide free lunch), but a colleague of mine invited us for lunch at Sushi King as they are having promotion for their Sushi King membership card holder. Well, RM2 per plate...Not a bad deal at all!!

Left office earlier at 11:45 so that we won't stuck at the queue...bet the queue would be bad during this kind of promotion. Reached there before 12pm, which is just good enough for us to get a seat not far from the sushi bar. Not bad at all...I think.

Not too bad that we still able to get some salmon sushi, prawn tempura sushi etc at the beginning until the crowd getting worse after 12pm. People started to queue out there, and some of those "Kia Su" people start standing at the sushi bar...just to get some sushi that they wanted. But hey, don't we all wanted those sushi? And does it means you can take a short cut? Knowing much enough about human...this is perhaps nothing extraordinary at all!!!
