My Refinery Trip

I want to post this pic just to entertain you all * =P * Though the pic is blurry cos my colleague took the picture with those Polaroid cameras and then scan it to keep a soft copy for us.

That is ME in the YELLOW overalls. * LOL *

I was due to go to our refinery as part of my On boarding – engagement with the businesses. Dongkoi me actually wore a skirt for the trip as I thought it gonna be formal day at work. They have a pretty strict rules of needing to wear the safety gear while at the refinery. For my colleagues, they just need to put on the headgear, the green visitor jacket as well as safety boots. As for dongkoi me who did not wear long pants, I have to put on the overalls * LOL *

This was a very good trip to Port Dickson, an eye-opening experience for me of our refinery business as well as the industry. Had lots of fun with my colleagues. Sights and incidents I will not forget.


SP – FYI, the cute, charming Advisor from the refinery I was telling / gushing to you about was the one holding the camera – so yes, failed to secure his picture for you to see * =P *

Pangkor Trip

Seriously – I thought I DID blog about my Pangkor Trip, until SP verified that I did not. Sorree! * =P * Hence a short one to summarize my trip. SP, you can see the whole album of my Pangkor Pics in my Multiply – do let me know if I forgot to give you the access to see it * =) *

Okay – this is actually a Company Trip, for our Family Day, which I find it a lil silly when it is called a Family Day but I could not bring my parents and I ended up going on my own! Apparently only spouse and children of yours can go – I guess if you are single, you are not entitled to have “Family Day” ? Weird… When I am single, means my parents are my immediate family ler… Memang jahat kan they all? As for My room – I have to share it with another colleague, whom, like me, is not married hence we have to come to the Family Day WITHOUT our family…

Anyway, it was an okay trip. The resort is a good place to chill – it’s really quiet and will serve as a very good place to go if you want a leisurely trip just hanging by the sea. I lurve how they have plenty of beach chairs scattered along the shore for you to sit back and relax. The resort is situated in a cove, hence it has a spectacular cozy warmth to it. Water – not the crystal clear kind, but fairly clean. Food was not good at all, and if you want to have food other than the kind served by the hotel, you will have to take the cab put – which isn’t cheap.

Since it was sooo long ago, I think I lost the passion to write about it * =P * SP so gonna cubit me * heehee * Just some pictures to summarize the trip la… I hang out at the resort, as well as took a half day tour around the island. Interesting.

They have plenty of water activities to choose from

SP - Here they rent out bicycles to guests to cycle about the resort as well as out of the resort - am not sure if its free or have to pay... I know you will like this * heehee *

View from Level 1

Its rather quiet - notice how it seems as if no people is hanging at the beach - most of the time it is rather empty... I wonder...

But I think this is a beautiful cove! A very nice resort indeed!

Oh - they only have these PINK "taxis" here in Pangkor. You have no choice but to hire the whole damn van if you need to go anywhere. It's alrite when you car-pool with 8 person, its rm10 each, but if there is only 1-2 of you, you still have to pay the full rm80, though you can negotiate, but they will not go lower than rm60...

We had telematches as part of the itinerary - nothing good, but fun to see all cooperating and join in the games.

Strawberry Ball! I wanted to own one since ages! But my Mum always forbid me to buy one as it is actually a waste of money. When my Ex-BF wanted to get me one, there wasn’t any we can find, so now that I found it, I MUST own it! * LOL * It evens has a bell in it. SP, we bring it to our next trip to the beach ya! * hehehe *

The ferry...

Noticed how our luggage being piled up at the front of the ferry. Looked like garbage rite? LOL

Took this pic to entice SP and WL with all the sotong there was at the Kilang Sotong * =P *

I would like to end this entry of me with the pink van * heehee * Do go to my Multiply if you are keen to see more pictures

Yucky Food

I decided that I must record down whatever food I find myself cannot stomach here. Well, these are the food which really I beh-tahan! And to think people can sell these horrendous foods! Or maybe it’s just MY taste buds…

This is the WORST tom yum meehoon I have ever tasted!!! The chicken meat in it actually stank! As it there is still blood running through the muscles or that it wasnt fresh... eeww...! The soup is so watery and taste way off the scale of tomyum, it is contaminating the image of tom yum!!!

This Nasi Ayam Percik. With salted egg. Adventurous me wanted to try it out as it looked pretty good at first - I was deceived.

Well, the chicken served was COLD, and the taugeh - UNCOOKED. Yeah, I know it can be eaten raw, but I totally hate the taste of raw taugeh!!! This dish broke my makan record, I took only 4 bites and I left the restaurant...

Pretty Headband

Another episode of bullying Fatty Luck...

He hates wearing stuff - especially on his head. Yup, he is not the kind of dog you can buy lots of cute stuff or him to wear. The only thing he like to put on his body is his doggie collar, and blankets.

As usual, I like to kacau him - it brings me joy and laughter everytime to see his numerous reactions to my antics * =P * This time, is a headband * hehehe *

Fatty Luck : Dowan-la... I shy okay - this is so embarrasing! You do know by now that I am M-A-L-E, right?!!?

Fatty Luck : Don't!!! It is already bad enough to be caught wearing this, and you still wanna take pictures?!!!?

Fatty Luck : Okla - fast fast take one picture only - I very reluctant wan actually, but because I am beautiful and you so eager, I reluctantly let you have one picture la... (sebenarnya takut kena pukul cos I holding rotan - muahahaha)

Fatty Luck : Hmmph!!! Always also bully me - Hate you!!! How to go "kau lui" like this? Haih... That explains my non-existent love life... eee... benci betul dengan budak ni! * grumble...grumble...grumble... *

Thanks, Fatty Luck for always entertaining my "jahat" antics! He hates to take pictures, this is another one of the many pictures I had to take while threatening him with rotan or enticing him with food * LOL *

New Menu At Paddington's

* Delayed Entry *

Oh - I just realised that I have not blogged about my Trip to Pulau Pangkor... Hmmn... Will do it soon! * heehee *

Oh, was excited that my fave pancake place, Paddington's has a new menu - more goodies to choose from! * wink *

Cheesy Nachos - really like the assorted dippings they provided - each one a perfect match for the nachos! Very crunchy, not to foget, a huge plate of it as well.

Yum-yum-yummy! Food you won't mind adding extra pounds to your hip as it is just too delicious to miss! * =P *

Taiwanese Cuisine

A super delayed food entry * LOL * yeah, told ‘ya that I have a lot of backlog… * =P *

I almost forgot about this folder containing pictures of which I wanted to blog about – well, it was long ago mer… Yes, I know SP desperately want to reach through the monitor screen to cubit me for all my late entries * =P * Sabar okay, dear? I am trying my best to fight the lazy bug in me and post all for your pleasure * wink * wink *

And also a food entry to entice WL after she commented about how she missed Malaysian food – well, I went with her for this, but I guess this serves as a reminder of what she missed? * =P * I guess another “cubit” from WL if she too can reach through the monitor * heehee *

Went to this place offering Taiwan Food at the Gardens, Midvalley. They have an open shop concept, with tables rather close to each another to maximize the space. I was intrigued by their menu as they do offer a many dishes I was not familiar with or eager to try, but was a lil disappointed when it did not turn out to be as special as I expect it to be. However, I like their presentation of food - very nice!

My Pudding Milk Tea which looked ugly - looked like some overnight fermented curd at the bottom of my glass... * eeee... * Taste why, the tea was alright, but I did not fancy the "pudding"...

Fried Seafood Tempura - like how it came with an old-school basket. Its was sad that they removed it after a few minutes - prolly due to our small table was running out of space for all our food * LOL * piggies we are...

Anyway, I prefer the Seafood Tempura from Shihlin Snacks compared to this...

Mee Sua - Its was rather good - again, notice the uniques presentation * hehehe *

Coconut Toast - ooohhh! This is actually VERY good! I like it a lot! Memang very sedap, very different form many of the other toasts I have tasted. Must be eaten while it is still hot for maximum enjoyment. The bread was so soft, and the topping were sweet and crumbly - a bit like the Polo Bun top when it was piping hot - A must try!

Sweet potato balls - no good, can not rival our Petaling street punya! * =P * This contains more flour than sweet potato, but like their bite size...

WL cannot resist this very cutesy, bunny toothpick holder * LOL *

Part of my rice platter - again, am impressed by their unique semi-circle plate which houses my condiments. The bowl of white rice was topped with minced meat.

This is the main dish served with the rice. It has an impressive name on the menu * my apologies, I forgot the name * but it turned out to be...

Just another dish of suspiciously like our "kung pou" chicken! * sigh... * Not on the other end of good "kung pou" chicken some more... But again, the presentation of the dish was real good.

Well, I do find this place a good one to have a lazy, long brunch. The portion of the food are good, enable you to try out a variety of dishes and still got enough to share.
