Good Food with a Good Friend

 Enjoyed a good lunch with a friend at Sushi Tei @ Suria Sabah today…

From Canada…

MW bought me so many (almost too many) “omiyage” from Canada!!! 

The above did not even include the chewing sticks she got for Little Dan and a big bottle of Maple Syrup!!!

And despite being grateful, I scolded her for wasting so much money on me (ya I’m such a grouch) and that she should have bought more things for herself! Sigh… made me feel guilty for not getting her anything during my previous trip…

Good Friend and Nice Food & Drink

One thing I must have if I get to Ikano is the Chicken with herbs from Ikea restaurant… and since I only go to KL once a year, I only get to take this dish once every year! So the heck with the calories…

I shared this wonderful meal with a dear friend, MN… a pal since MLJ days… what else could beat a good lunch with a good old friend… (M, I didn’t mean “old” as in you know what, okay)!

After the meal we wandered off into separate ways in Ikano… I went to the music shop… M went to Harvey Norman… wonder what a nice lady got to buy in a hardware shop… huh?

Then we met again at Popular bookshop where I was too busy getting stickers for the children choir… we then headed for Starbuck…

Enjoyed this really nice Green Tea Latte Frappucino with Marina… I didn’t take a picture of us together… was too shy to ask if we could have a picture of us taken… it would seem so childish to ask such a question to a Datin rank friend, hehehe!

But I truly enjoyed the time we spent together… we talked like old friends… the time and distant didn’t diminish any of the closeness of our friendship… it was a really enjoyable gathering… only if Laimee could join us… the three of us would sure make a scene! Hahaha!

Laimee… tulah, why you only come few days after I left KL?

A table of Learneds

These are my new friends…
Yes, unlike practice in KL, we actually make friends in court!

And that is one of the most amazingly wonderful thing about practice in KK!

Cheese Cake, Starbucks & a Friend

  

One piece of American baked cheese shared by two
Two Macchiato Caramel…
and two friends sharing happy hours…

I still think the coffee is not hot enough…

Extravagant Lunch

MW treat me and mom lunch at Lintas (coz she got months of bonus!)

And this place is expensive!
Three person ate RM100 over!
Bintulu restaurant… I should have figure it out already…
Sarawakian business man…

Thanks MW for your generosity…
but I don’t think I’d ever dine at this place again, not if I have to pay for it! lolz

 

This was my first taste of Korean cuisine… everyone’s been telling me how hot Korean food is… well, not this meal we had! :p

We were too afraid that it would be too hot to me (I really don’t appreciate spicy food) so we ended up being too careful in picking only very mild dish!

Favourite Christmas Present

Magnetic Book Marks… music style… Love them!

Thanks Boong… from all the gifts you have given me over the years,
I realised you have known me better and better… I hope I’d be able to give you something you’d really love too one day…

Living with Laimee

My pal who is now working in Singapore….

Oh… I miss those juice… SGD2.50 only okay (don’t be stupid and attempt to convert to RM)!

Every time I visit Singapore, I will be more depressed over the fact that Malaysians employees are being underpaid!

Our cost of living is as expensive as Singapore (at times Singapore is cheaper especially when it comes to imported goods) but our pay is just blatantly pathetic!

A factory worker in Singapore earns SGD2,000 a month
which is more than a lawyer in Sabah who earns RM4,000 a month (ie SGD1,600)!

Don’t tell me things in Singapore is expensive, it’s only expensive to RM earners!

As the cost of living in Malaysia and Singapore is about the same… imagine a lawyer who earns a monthly pay of SGD1,600 pay living in Singapore… although just for a short term of 5 days… I was BROKEN!

This is the long “breath-taking” route LM takes everyday to the nearest MRT station…

Singaporean OL can afford breakfast like this every morning because it’s only SGD3 thereabout (WARNING: DO NOT CONVERT TO RM).

Food court food is a bit more pricey but for a bowl of SGD5 beef noodle like above, the portion is big enough for two diet conscious girls to share.

Ex MLJ AGM 2009

Venue: Wildrice @ Boulevard Hotel, Mid Valley

The company:

and the food:

With MW @ Coffee Bean

Err… the cakes were horrible, okay!

So much for Coffee Bean’s reputation!
I think I should complain about this CB outlet at Karamunsing to the franchise!

The cakes were obviously leftovers…
they were so hard and stiff that I think if I threw it to a dog or a monkey it can kill instantly!

The aircon also was not working properly so we can’t enjoy our coffee and chat there… sigh!
