An Awesome day!

I really had an awesome day today!!! ^^

Well, because Melissa (who's 1 of my ex-school friends) decided to hang out with me at the college that I'm studying at (which is UCSI).

Both of us agreed we'll meet each other at the 'Secret Recipe' food outlet around 12 pm. So, I plan to reach my college around 12 pm-ish. After I've reach there, I walked towards that food outlet to see whether she was there, but she was nowhere to be seen. I then decided to go to the 'Dotcom 8' cyber cafe and see whether my college friends were there or not, and yes, 2 of my college friends were there - Lawrence and Shaun, who were playing away at their games. Since she seems not to be here yet, I decided to join them for a fun and car-crashing game of FlatOut 2's 'Derby' mode. It's a 3-Way Free-For-All Derby! lolz
(It was fun, beating them for 3 times in-a-row!!! woohoo XD)

After a few rounds of awesome car-crashing, since Melissa didn't arrive yet... we both exchanged sms'es, she told me she would be coming 10 minutes later, so we decided to continue playing some more rounds, until she finally arrived. Finally! Now, it's a 4-Way Rumble Free-For-All Derby!!! lolz
(We all really had fun, crashing each other's cars with lots of force. XD)

After several rounds, Melissa decided to play another game instead (which is GTA: San Andreas)... so did Shaun, so it was very funny as Lawrence and me saw her and Shaun playing this game. lolz

Around 1:30 pm-ish, all of us left the cyber cafe. Shaun left us since he decided to go somewhere with his friend (I think)... Now, it's just Lawrence, me, and Melissa. Actually, Lawrence wanted to drag Melissa along to watch the anime screenings (Lawrence and me are members of the Anime Club) but then Melissa and me are actually hungry so we decided to eat at 'Secret Recipe'. Lawrence decided to go for the anime screenings instead, so he couldn't join Melissa and me for lunch (since I can go for the anime screenings some other time...).

Melissa ordered a spaghetti-style dish (Costs RM 13.50) while I ordered a 'Chicken Lasagna' dish (Costs RM 13.50). We both ordered mineral water as our drinks but it was very expensive, as it costed RM 2.50 each... =.=

I treated her a slice of cake that's 1 of her favourites, which is 'Yogurt Cheese Cake'. She thanked me for this sweet treat. hehe

Overall, we both enjoyed our meals very much, eventhough I couldn't believe our drinks was so expensive, but I definitely really had an awesome day today, with the company of Melissa and 2 of my college friends... ^^

> 'Chicken Lasagne'. Looks tempting and it smells NICE!!! ^^


> Thanks, Melissa... for taking this picture of me and my delicious meal! ^^

After we had our delicious meals, we then go spend an hour or so in another cyber cafe, since the 'Dotcom 8' cyber cafe was full (and both of us also going home at 4 pm). We surfed our own 'Facebook' pages and played 'GTA: San Andreas'.

After all that, then my 'escort' (who's a friend of me and my mom) arrived around 4 pm-ish, I told my mom (the 'escort' picked her up) since she had no other choice to go home other by walking, my mom agreed to allow our 'escort' to fetch her home 1st (since her house's nearby my college), before fetching us home.

Overall, as mentioned in the 1st sentence of this blog post:
I really had an awesome day today!!! ^^

And, I just want to say thanks to Melissa, Lawrence and Shaun since you guys really made my day Awesome and full of fun! I really hope that we can have do this fun stuff again... hehez ^^

That's all I've to say for now. I'll be updating my blog with more updates soon! See ya!

Oh-so Tuesday.

Well, today's pretty much another typical day for me... which I did my task of bringing out my my mom to visit my grandmother who's currently residing in that old folk's home. The weather around the time when we're just about to go out seemed like it was going to rain heavily... at least we were able to reach there before the rain started pouring heavily. -whew-

After visiting my grandmother, since it was around dinner time... my mom decided that we should have our dinner at the "Jusco Cheras Selatan" shopping mall again (as this shopping mall is the closest shopping mall to my home) , because it was still raining, I have no choice but to agree with her.

My mom and me both decided that we should try out Restoran Johnny's food outlet, which specialises in steamboat-style eating, since we really didn't have a steamboat-style meal for a very long time now... hehez

The selection of different foods for the steamboat was decent (since we ordered a 2 people's set meal) and the soup that's used for the steamboat was actually okay, since it has a peppery taste which makes it oh-so-lovely. ^^

As for the drinks, my mom ordered 'Ice lemon tea' while I ordered 'Coke'.


> The steamboat pot and the trays of different foods.


> The steamboat pot, now loaded with the 1st round of foods.


> Emm, smells very nice! Tastes very good too! ^^


> The steamboat pot, now loaded with the 2nd round of foods.

Overall, we really enjoyed our steamboat-style meal... and hopefully we can come to dine at this food outlet again... ^^

That's all I've to say for now. I'll be updating my blog with more updates soon! See ya!

The start of a new month, Sept.

It's the 2nd month of an assignment-free holiday for me, so I really hope that I can really enjoy my 3 months worth of assignment-free holidays as much as I can... hehez

On the very 1st day of this month which is yesterday, I brought my mom to the "Jusco Cheras Selatan" shopping mall in Balakong... because she wanted her new bought handbag to be fixed or something (can't really remember).

Anyways, after that... we then had our dinner in Food & Tea Hong Kong' outlet. My mom ordered a HK-style claypot dish (costs RM 7.90) while I ordered 'Cheese baked rice with Chicken Chop' (costs RM 12.30) , which is my most preferred 'cheese baked rice with meat' dish. lol


> 'Cheese baked rice with Chicken Chop'. Looks CHEESI-LICIOUS!^^

As for the side order, me and my mom ordered ordered a quick tasty appetizer which is 'man tao' (bite-sized pieces of crispy bread buns), that's served with a mixture of sweet and sour crab meat (Costs RM 3.80).


> 'Man tao' with sweet and sour crab meat.

For drinks, both of us ordered a freshly made 'Iced lemon tea', which costs RM 4.20 a pop, and I'll definitely recommend you guys to try this drink out, because it really is a cooling and refreshing drink! =)


> Freshly made 'Iced lemon tea'. Ahhh, really refreshing indeed! ^^

After all that, we then went back home around 7 pm-ish.

Well... since now's the month of September, 1 of the many occasions that has already started in this month is the 'Mid-Autumn Festival' (sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or Mooncake Festival), and the traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties. They're usually eaten in small wedges, and is normally accompanied by Chinese tea.

I really hope that all of my Chinese friends and their family members will gather to admire the bright-mid autumn harvest moon, and eat mooncakes and pomeloes together in a peaceful surrounding. ^^

Below are the pictures of The 'Mid-Autumn Festival' decorations in the "Jusco Cheras Selatan" shopping mall, that I took using my HP's camera.







That's all I've to say for now. I'll be updating my blog with more updates soon! See ya, and I'm wishing that all of my dear Chinese friends will have a memorable and enjoyable 'Mid-Autumn Festival'! ^^

Viva la Sat-ur-day.

Well, this Saturday's pretty much another typical day for me... I went out with my mom (not taxi, I drove my car.) to visit my grandmother who's currently residing in an old folk's home named "Mother's Nursing Home" (The days which I do this task is random).

After a few hours there, my mom decided that she wants to go to the "Jusco Cheras Selatan" shopping mall in Balakong... so I brought her there. My mom told me that she had a craving for Japanese food, so we decided to eat at the 'Ichiban Ramen' food outlet, after I've parked my car of course.

My mom ordered the 'Katsu Don' meal while I ordered the usual 'Unagi Don' (Rice dish served with eel meat, costs RM 19) which I usually like to eat, while both of us ordered the same drink... which is 'Ice-blended Coffee with ice-cream' (costs RM 6.50).


> Unagi Don. Looks deliciously delicious... lol


> The 'Ice-blended Coffee with ice-cream' drink that my mom and me ordered.

We decided to try the 'Gyōza' (costs RM 9) that they serve here... since it looks appetising, (both of us were really hungry around this time) and that this is my 1st time eating this. ^^


> Japanese-style 'Gyōza'. Looks appetizing indeed. ^^

According to Wikipedia,

"Jiaozi (Chinese transliteration), gyōza (Japanese transliteration), or mandu (Korean), is a Chinese dumpling, widely popular in China, Japan, and Korea as well as outside of East Asia, particularly in the United States.

Jiaozi typically consist of a ground meat and/or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping.

The most prominent differences of Japanese-style gyōza from Chinese style jiaozi are the rich garlic flavor, which is less noticeable in the Chinese version, and the fact that Japanese-style gyōza are very lightly flavored with salt, soy, and that the Gyoza wrappers are much thinner than the Chinese counterpart..."
And yes, the 'rich garlic flavor' part of the Gyōza is 100% true, tested by me. hehez

After a really fulfiling Japanese meal, my mom then went to do her own shopping while I kill some time by playing some games in the arcade, until she's done. Then, my mom decided to buy some Auntie Anne's pretzels. Woohoo! Auntie Anne's pretzels are DELI-CIOUS!!! When we arrived at this outlet's counter that time, I couldn't help but notice that there's a plate of tid-bits of Auntie Anne's Coffee-flavoured pretzels. So, I tasted 1 of those and boy, it was really good! My mom bought 2 Cinnamon-flavoured pretzels and 1 Sour cream and onion-flavoured pretzel (The usual flavours of Auntie Anne's pretzels that both of us like ^^).


> Tid-bits of Auntie Anne's Coffee-flavoured pretzels. TASTY n SHWEET! ^o^

After all that, we then went back home around 6.30 pm.


> Auntie Anne's Cinnamon-flavoured pretzels. Sugary goodness! lol

That's all I've to say for now. I'll be updating my blog with more updates soon! See ya!
