Hey! What do ya thing?! What I meant is..it’s time for me to introduce my baby to you all since it has been a while already it was with me. I feel so sorry that I should have introduced him to you all earlier on rather than now. But..but..but..I was really busy. So now, I officially introduce him to you all. Haha! Yup, my notebook. I got it since 21 June 2008. I was waiting eagerly for its arrival that morning. Until I saw the logistic person right in front of my door steps I cried with tears of joy..I cried and cried and cried..ok, I lied. Haha! I was actually so happy that could not wait to open up the parcel once the logistic person left.
Immediately I opened up and took a look and of course I took a few photos as witnesses for that historical moment while it came out of the box. Crazy huh?! Haha!
So, peeps, meet my new love!
Please do not get me wrong. I dont indulge in my work. I am just indulging in Chocolate Indulgence cake from secret recipe. The other day a girl friend of mine invited me to spend some times enjoying something sweet and satisfying with her. You know…girls normally like to have sweet stuff once in a while. Yup. Cakes. So nice that I couldnt resist at all. My all time favorite, Chocolate Indulgence. It is so moist and nice and yummy and satisfying and…I just love it. Ooolala~~
But my girl friend wanted to try this Peach cake which is low in saturated fat. Very nice as well. A bit sour sour and not too sweet. Worth trying. I will sure go back for more but I wonder will I end up going for Chocolate Indulgence again instead of Peach cake.
Actually not really an adventure also. It’s just a reason for me and my friend to drive to town alone for the very first time. One funny thing is we actually knew how to go to that dim sum place and we didn’t know how to go back. Hehe. We were kinda like a bit lost but after turning a round and round we finally saw the bayan lepas signboard. What an adventure I would say! Ha!
This dim sum place is really very happening almost every weekends.

The egg tarts are nice. The base of the dim sum are puffy soft and the egg is nice (someone must be very happy now if she knows I actually say EGG is nice here). Not too sweet.

Any kind of fried dim sum are nice. Especially when it goes with mayonnaise cream. I would say this bean curd skin is nice.

Again, this is Ju Cheong Fan. I didn’t notice there were actually gingers inside until this second time I had it. (Yucks! to ginger)

This yum puff also not bad. Very puffy and the filling quite ok.

Ah! This is not shark fin soup but shark-fin-like soup. Sticky sticky but nice.

This one I don’t know what but I think quite nice also.

Attention please! This one NOT NICE. Haha. The toufu too hard to chew.

Sometimes I really don’t understand how peaple manage to come up with so many choices even it’s on Dim Sum only.
Ok, After we had dim sum, that evening we actually went to Gurney for more local food but unfortunately it was raining quite heavily. Most of the food stalls were not open. But still, this wouldnt stop us from carry on with our plan. At Gurney drive food stalls, my friends ate this…look properly…they ate this weird stuff. Ya..I would call it..very nice and spiky shell snail? OMG! Snails…yuckss…but…they said its nice. *Straight face*

This is Pasembor. Very weird name but it tasted just like the Indian rojak. Nothing special.

This is muachi. Hmm..until now I have yet to find the best muachi in Penang. Anyone can intro to me?

Ok, I know, these photos were taken long ago and I should have shown you all earlier rather than now. But..but..but… I am really so busy with work lately. Anyway, these are the photos of the dim sum taken back 7june2008 when a friend came to Penang for meeting and we went for dim sum breakfast together. I personally love the fried stuff with mayonise. Yum yum! Alright, this time round I will let the photos do the talking as well. Mmm..yum~~
I spent my weekend with the friend who came here for meeting two or three Saturday ago (7 June 2008). We went to town and had the famous Cendol. The cendol is slightly smaller in size as compared to the one I had in Kuching. The colouring also not as green as the one in Kuching. Hmm…. to me, I think it is ok. Tasted ok. I still don’t understand why people claims that it is the BEST in Penang. Can anyone tell me why?
Previously it was just hawker stall at the street but now it has got its own shop lot with tables and chairs. Improving. Not bad huh?!
We also ordered the Penang rojak. I would say…nothing special but very hot (spicy?)

On 6 June 2008, Friday, our manager decided to organize a buffet dinner for our department at TGIF, Queensbay Mall. Our department consists of more than 100 employees. We all went to TGIF that evening after work. We, the new hire, were told to better be there too as to take this chance to know more about our colleagues, especially our team members and our senior. So, off we went after work. Eventually, we, the bunch of new hires were sitting together. Although we didn’t quite manage to know much about our seniors but this dinner really helped us, new hires to know more about our own group. We had fun talking and getting to know each other better. Time spent with colleagues was valuable but the food…hehehe…so so only. Haha! Oh, the chocolate cake was damn good that night. *wink*
We learnt to tear down notebooks of different models the other day (6 June 2008). They were testing units which actually work fine and perfect. It was the first time for most of us to totally tear down the system to scratch and then put it back again and I noticed something very normal happened. Ok, it’s either there were extra screws on the tables or screws went missing when we were trying to put back the systems. The trainer really ‘no eyes to see’ what we have done. Haha!
And…this high end notebook for gaming…DIED after we tried to tear down and put back. We were told that although the price now is lower but previously it worth more than RM10K. *Sweat*

For this entry, I would say it’s all about food. I will just let the photos do the talking other then not forgetting to mention that a friend actually came for a meeting and dropped by to visit me over the weekends and there is another friend going for a road trip holiday dropped by too. So we took initiative to meet up and had dinner together. It was 5 June 2008 and we had our food at Lorong Baru, Penang. It was raining that night. So, just imagine how we ate those hawker food….of course we were drenched.
This is the fried chicken marinated with prawn paste @ belacan. Very crispy.
This is the Penang Fried Kueh Tiaw. Portion very small and very expensive.
This is the Fried Oysters Pancake. I do not know how it tasted like as I don’t eat oysters. Hehe!

This is Ju Cheong Fan with prawn paste and chili. No very nice as well. Weird weird.
This is the Muachi. I would say..tasted so-so only.
This is Poh Piah. I would say..Kuching has the best Poh Piah ever at Golden Arch, 3rd miles but not in Penang.
This is just non other than the very ORDINARY fried tofu.
Yup…I am not kidding…1 June 2008 was basically a VERY IMPORTANT DATE for me. Want to know why? Nah… I’m not gonna tell you. Hahahaha.
Ok ok..I will share. It is actually…

the first day when I OFFICIALLY moved into my rented bedroom. I could have my own little place since then. So dont ya think its damn important? Aha! I have a queen size bed. So who wanna come and put up a night with me? I would say I love my bedroom for now but there is one thing which I don’t quite like though because its WAY TOO HOT in the afternoon. It is facing the direction where the sun shines in.
