an "OFFER" Day 211209

Supposed Pooh and JJ were planing to register for our master on last Monday yet we still had not get our offer letters. Since already out from home, we decided to hang out together.

First, we went for a movie, AVATAR, a movie which Pooh planned to watch desirely, written at her MSN PM -- Who wanna watch AVATAR with me!! It was definately a nice movie which worth to be watched at cinema. This was our 1st OFFER of the day as we watched it with student price. *grin*



While waiting for Pooh at library, JJ came across an advertisment stated SUSHI ZANMAI RM2 SUSHI PASSPORT for 4 persons. JJ's eyes were blinking. Hence, We went for our 2nd OFFER of the day. We had this promotion japanese meal as our lunch at their Lowyat outlet. The sushi somehow were bigger in size than usual and all the ingredients were fresh, juicy and of course tasty. We guessed probably we were a bit too early (stepped in the restaurant when they just opened), thus the chief generously served us with the big bulky sushi. Be the early bird sometimes may have some special offers. "grin* Beside the promotion sushi, we also ordered 2 main courses, tsukimi soba (the only main course which Pooh will order when she is dining at Sushi Zanmai) and chicken curry rice (JJ had a sudden crave for japanese rice and thick japanese curry gravy).



After the movie, Pooh was craving for Secret Recipe's walnut chocolate brownies. So, we walked to the Bukit Bintang outlet to have our tea-break. The 3rd OFFER of the day was the free tea for every piece of cake ordered from the restaurant. Needless to say, Pooh picked the walnut chocolate brownies (in fact, Pooh wished to have vanila ice-cream topping too but it was not available, too bad) while JJ opted for Durian Cheesecake as JJ heard lot of compliments from friends about this cake. Indeed, both brownies and cheesecake were awesome, absolutely melted our hearts.

Again, JJ used up all the available calories quota, had to work out hard for today's input.

de Date of 6A1 Girls with Italianniese

"Girls, do you all wanna have dinner together at the vegetarian bak kut teh?" asked Xiao Wen and Yuk Mey when they were coming back from outside.

"I just tried it with JJ that day. I guessed I don't wanna join u guys." answered Xiao Chuan promptly.

"Same as me. How about we go for other restaurant? How about ITALIANNIESE? They are having promotion now. RM27.90 for 2 meal courses. Do you guys wanna try? I can be the driver. Just learnt the route to Sunway Pyramid from my friend that day. I guess I able to get to there." suggested by me who so-called food-seeker among them.

"Good idea. We never go out together before. This is a good chance for us. We can have an advance 2010 countdown celebration as well. Excited!!" the girls buy my suggestion.

"I change my plan. I will follow you guys for Italianniese." Again, Xiao Chuan had given her decision instantly.

"Great. Let's take bath and be prepared for outing. Go! Go! Go! girls." Entering the bathroom after grabing a shirt and pants from my woreboard.

Followed the map drew by friend, we reached our destination in 45 minutes time without trapping in serious traffic jam. Thank god.

Here we are : Italianniese @ Sunway Pyramid

We ordered 3 sets of the promotion meals which consisted of 3 appertisers and 3 main courses plus 2 desserts.

Italian Clams Soup was the 1st food served to us. It was a light soup prepared from fresh clams with slightly sour taste came from diced tomatoes, it certainly boosted up our appetite for the next food.

Followed by Toasted Bruschetta. A appertizer which comprised of crunchy homemade Tuscan bread topped with marinated tomatoes, pesto sauces and parmesan cheese. All of us hearted this much.


Pizza Caprese was the 3rd appertizer we had. Thin crust pizza topped with buffalo mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, red onions and basil. Dip with the sauce made of vineger and olive oil, the pizza even tasted nicer.

After finishing our appertizers, we were served with our 1st main course Shrimps linguine. A reddish meal consisted of fresh succulent sauteed shrimps served with marinara sauce. This was another meal which gained our liking.

Coming up next with Roasted Chicken with Balsamic Glaze. A quarter of oven-baked herbed roasted chicken glazed with Balsamic plus some fried (to be spesific, should be over-fried) rosemary wedges and garlic butter broccoli. Priscilla and I liked this aromatic chicken. It goes well with the sweet sourish black sauce served.

The 3rd main course meal was the Pan Fried Fish with Angel Hair. Angel hair pasta served with lightly battered pan-fried Dory fish in lemon capers sauce. Frankly, this meal was not as good as the other 2 main course meals as it was a bit too dry and tasteless for the pasta but well-done pan-fried fish managed to get some points for this meal.

Filling up half-full of our stomach, we left some spaces for our desserts. NY Strawberry Cheesecake. New York-style cheesecake served on a bed of strawberry sauce. No doubt, all of us fall in love with this velvety-textured light sweet cheesecake. Grace made the right choice.

Last but not least, we ended up our meal with another dessert, Tiramisu, the specialty of the restaurant. Lady finger cookies dipped iin liqueur and espresso coffee with layers of creamy mascarpone icing and topped with dark chocolate powder. After everyone had a bite of it, we felt that we were at the heaven. Awesome.

The best ingredient for an enjoyable evening is some company to share good food with. This is the 1st sentence written on their official website. Indeed, sharing is always a joy. The more companions, the merrier. This was the 1st time I had dinner together with my other 5 housemates (still lack of Yoon Hooi). Thanks Priscilla, Grace, Xiao Wen, Yuk Mey and Xiao Chuan for giving me a wonderful dinner.

"Girls, to be honest, i just know the route to Sunway but i dunno the way back." Still not familiar with KL routes. My solution is always the same -- follow the signboard but Malaysia signboard can't be trusted 100%.

"Nevermind. I have GPS." Xiao Chuan was starting up her HP and an usual phrase we heard -- WE ARE CALCULATING.

Inevitably, we lost direction again but I always bear a phrase in my mind -- In KL, as long as you have money, have petrol, you sure can reach your destination at the end. Hence, i got back to the right track after circulating for 15 minutes (i guessed i were somewhere near KL Sentral area) and we reached home SAFELY (almost hit by a car while we were at Bulatan Pahang). HUUuuu.. it was so close. Thank God.

斗鱼。体会

哭过的、哀伤过的，都是过去了。

抬眼看，天，依旧蔚蓝，不是吗？

不管我们发生了什么，改变了什么，这个世界从来都不会为我们停下一分一秒！！！

我们没必要为一些日后看来最微不足道的小事影响我们的生活，乃至我们的人生。

没有什么事是过不去的坎，没有什么人是永久的敌人，活的开心点，随意点，快乐点，那才对得起每个人只有一次的生命。
　　

斗鱼

今天堕落了一整天，用了一整天的时间看了一部偶像剧 - - 斗鱼（1）。
故事当然离不开爱情，可是里头所叙述的爱情很写实，除了爱情，还有温馨亲情和真挚的友情，是部不错的偶像剧。

每个人都必须为自己作出的决定负责任。
很多时候，一旦做出决定了，向前走了，就回不了头了，没得后悔了。
一个决定能改变你的一生。

“我不后悔，只要有你在，我永远都不后悔”。
我想在现实中，大概有不少的女生也曾说过类似的话吧。
可是有多少个女生是真的不后悔呢？

剧里饰演那群年轻人的长辈，辉叔，他的对白，让我想起身边的长辈也曾苦口婆心地劝过我身边的他，不过他始终没把话听进耳里，结果就这样永远的离开我们了。。
“我真的白养你了，你为什么就是这么不听话。”

剧情让我回想起好多好多的过去，掉了不少眼泪，今天发现，原来自己也蛮会哭。。

Black CanYon RestAuranT @ AlaManDa ShoPPing CoompLex

Overall, the service proveded was good and the food tasted great with reasonable price. Both of us were satisfied.

de COFFEE

JJ likes COFFEE.
Everytime when looks at the menu, JJ found out that there are many types of coffee.
Hmm.. JJ decided to find out the difference between them.

Caffè espresso, or just espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee. As a result of the pressurized brewing process, all of the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of coffee are very concentrated. For this reason, espresso is the base for other drinks, such as lattes, cappuccino, macchiato and mochas.

Latte (It. "milk"): This term is an abbreviation of "caffe llatte" (or "caffè e latte"), an espresso based drink with a volume of steamed milk in approximately a 1:1 ratio. In Europe, "caffè Latte"" stems from the same continental tradition as "café au lait" in France, simply coffee with milk.

Cappuccino: Traditionally, one-third espresso, one-third steamed milk, and one-third microfoam. A cappuccino differs from a caffè latte in that it is prepared with much less steamed or textured milk than the caffè latte.

Caffè Macchiato (It. "stained"): A small amount of milk or, sometimes, its foam is spooned onto the espresso. In Italy, it further differentiates between caffè macchiato caldo (warm) and caffè macchiato freddo (cold), depending on the temperature of the milk being added. In France, known as a "Noisette". Latte macchiato (It. "stained milk"): Essentially an inverted cafè latte, with the espresso poured on top of the milk.

Mocha: Normally, a latte blended with chocolate. Like a latte, it is typically one third espresso and two thirds steamed milk, but a portion of chocolate is added, typically in the form of a chocolate syrup, although other vending systems use instant chocolate powder. Mochas can contain dark or milk chocolate.

芝麻糊

特别钟爱浓浓稠稠，口感绵绵甜甜的食物，

而芝麻糊是其中之一啦。
尝过不少档口的芝麻糊，

不过始终觉得最好吃的还是家乡夜市小档口所售卖的。
好难得碰上星期四不用上班，所以嚷着妈妈说要逛夜市，

因为太想念那芝麻糊的味道了。
最后当然如我所愿啦，呵呵。

芝麻糊营养价值高，而且可使美容护发的圣品，哈哈。
售卖芝麻糊的婆婆告诉我说她皮肤之所以白白滑滑是因为常喝芝麻糊，

起初半信半疑，过后自己上网阅读有关资料，发现婆婆真的没骗我。

中医认为，芝麻味甘、性平，有补血、润肠、通乳、养发等功效，

适于治疗身体虚弱、头发早白、贫血、大便燥结、头晕耳鸣等症状。

黑芝麻糊的效用更胜鲜奶，食得多皮肤会滑溜、少皱纹，

还会令肤色红润白净, 更可以治便秘。

利用节食来减肥的人，由于其营养的摄取量不够，皮肤会变得干燥、粗糙。

而芝麻中含有防止人体发胖的物质蛋黄素、胆碱、肌糖，因此芝麻吃多了也不会发胖。

在节食减肥的同时，若配合芝麻的食用，粗糙的皮肤可获得改善。

芝麻的热量不高，可是芝麻糊的热量并不低哦，

因为芝麻糊在烹煮的过程中加入油，糖，糯米粉等材料，这些都是属于高热量的食材。

一包40G的芝麻糊大于等于640KJ热量（大约是160kcal）。

还是老话一句，每样食物都有它的营养价值.

没有一样食物是所谓的“好”食物，也没一样食物是“坏”食物。

吃东西的时候，切记要适量，均衡咯。

There is no GOOD food or BAD food.
Eat moderately and in balance.

每一次都会打包两盒，一盒当晚餐，另一盒则是第二天的早餐，

连续两天吃也不觉得腻，反而觉得很过瘾，

婆婆卖的芝麻糊实在太好吃了，嘻嘻。

C.I.R.C.L.E

And we move on with the rest of our lives
Where are we gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But will the past be a shadow that’ll follow us ‘round?
Will these memories fade when we leave this town?
Cause we’re moving on and we can’t slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now will our jokes still be funny?
Tears and laughter, pranks played in school
Will these memories ever leave you?
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, come whatever
We will still be friend forever

Part-time week (2): Mydin Mall, MITC Melacca

A day after back from Chembong, JJ packed up to Melacca for the 2nd part-time job.

This time, JJ targeted group was kiddies.


Giving advise to parents regarding to children eating practise is much difficult than advising adults to practise healthy eating habit. From these 3 days event, JJ found out that JJ has to read more on children eating habit. In fact, it is something related to JJ current research project. *grin*


Hmm.. some experiences JJ gained from these 3 days event..

Wonder why most of the Malay parents asked their children to call us as "AUNTY" rather than "KAKAK". Are we look that old?

Obedient child is an angel but hyper-active child is a demon.

Giving birth a child is not as hard as rearing and educating the child. It needs lots of love, care, patience and MONEY. Think properly before you intend to start this "investment". *grin*

Thanks to Adrian, Pei Ling, Ling Ling and Sweety. Specially thanks to Sweety for the flower balloons and the compliments. "Girl, u are so nice. I like your sweet smile." *grin*

Part-time week (1): Nestle Factory, Chembong

Last week can be considered as JJ's part-time week.

Worked as nutritionist advisor for 2 part-time jobs.

The 1st job was at Chembong, a small town at Negeri Sembilan.

It was the first time JJ visited to NESTLE factory.

Hmm.. The experiences JJ gained from this job:

1. JJ's BM showed improvement. Yeap. Practise make perfect. *Grin*


2. The most common phrase JJ heard from the workers : "Makan nasi akan gemuk. Saya tak makan nasi. Saya hanya makan roti."


3. After JJ had lunch at the factory canteen for 3 days, JJ finally found out the reason why JJ don't like Malay food much. 3 words to describe the food served at the canteen : Yellow, Red, Oil.

Thanks to Encik Din and Madam Vitjaya for their help in arranging the event. Thanks to all the workers for joining the event and giving JJ a chance to practise the knowledge that JJ has learnt. Specially thanks to Encik Din for helping us to buy the nestle products with 20% discount price and providing us bountiful of Milo wafers, Kitkats, Smarties, Milo nuggets, Nestle ice-creams as snacks.
