My so-called UNICEF meeting. ROFL

Work life is pretty easy going. Deadlines are not as sucks as in old company. That's make my life pretty free and I smile and laugh a lot. Real lot. I'm HAPPY. Maybe you think I am just exaggerating the situation and I'm going through some aimless life because I do not get to learn as much as in the old days. But HELL! My life is pretty fun now. I get to be with my mom and enjoy her cooking, able to keep up with my BFFs and meeting new friends.

Mya a colleague of APG team birthday was yesterday so we throw a feast for her. Though she made most of the cooking. I just picked her up from home and send her to get the grocers. We had really extensive English menu but was part of the team from Hell Kitchen so didn't really get to take pictures of what we had yesterday. Let me illustrate it with my words:-

For starters, we had french fries and vegetables Samosa. Thanks to Krunali, colleague from India who happened to be a vegetarian for religion purpose. She made the Samosa fillings herself and roll the Samosa wrap without any of our help ( Cos she can't bear we ruining her hard work!) Perfectly seasoned and spice not too strong. It was a HUGE Samosa..Take 3-4 pieces and your Lunch is perfectly FULL!

For main dishes, we had grilled chicken and meat loafs. I had no idea meat loafs is really that pretty easy to cook. Just minced the beef and seasoned it with salt and pepper. Top it with ketchup, mustard and honey also with little bit of Italian herbs. Shove it into the oven and voila. Perfectly cooked meat loafs is done! Didn't really got to taste the chicken while it's hot, so have no idea how tasty it was. Whole chicken was gone. And we have macaroni and cheese too. Simple and crazy cheese!
We had drunken potatoes..I love having these for all my parties. But we should put more wine yesterday! This dish is so gonna be the Must Have in my menu! 

I done the salted vegetables and sauteed mushrooms. Cooked well, and all chomped down by the guests. 

We end our meal with brownies with choc syrup + ice cream + whipped cream. Yes! It's dangerously sinful BUT I made a good baker! Yum yum yum!



I was introduced to this new kind of Pimm's lemonade with mints and stuffs. It's a fab to have this drink and you have NO IDEA that you are drinking alcohol at all! Burp~~~

We caused a MAJOR destruction in her kitchen and didn't really get to help Mya clean much. She is from UK and overly friendly girl. We had lots of fun cooking, bitching, drinking, partying and swearing together! So hope she can able to clean the whole house and kitchen while we were gone. It was a real mess!!

After the food, we were introduce with this Name game. Each of us gotta pick a name of a famous person and we will guess who has which name correctly. I didn't get kill first round so I'm good at this too.

So these pictures were taken while we were in the game:- 






The cute Aiden
Aiden is full of personality! He even 'ordered' how I serve his brownies. Cute lil guy. Hope to see him again.

After the dinner, we get groomed and head to another party. I never expect myself crashing a crazy party! The music was fucking loud but crazy clubbing songs. Make me wanna shake some booty! Luckily next week I'm clubbing with Jane for her birthday! Then we had free flow of lychee martinis, bacardi and blah blah blah. I am so unprepared for this party...Seriously under dress and hair was a MESS! Feel shitty now! But enjoyed the free shows some Malay chicks put on. They just let the ang mohs' hand grabbed them all over. Luckily we found decent guys that just up for chat and drinks. We chatted from history to politics to bitching bout each other's life! And this guy Ali our pretty boy! Malaysia breed French guy..Just too attractive to NOT look at him but he is taken. Getting married like a week later. Hahaha! But really friendly guy. And Lotsa lotsa fun!

My motive of meeting new friends is just simple. Get a friend from each country so you can travel to that country of your friend and get some free local tours. How's that? Loving my life!!

Me and Mya..Damn I look like a big MESS!











Fun Fun Fun...

And we headed back to Mya's home for a sleepover. Too dreadful to drive back home. She let me have her bed while she took her couch. Too exhausted to say NO. So we slept like 5.30am. Woke up five hours after that and we girls continue bitching. But still feel dreadful for a breakfast. So we cam whoring instead:-













Nice one!


But poor my Frog Prince...working so hard while this Princess Piggie in enjoying out there! We shall party together after your deadlines over Frog Prince!

It's sad, but life goes on

Things happened so fast you rarely have the time to think about what you should do next.
I hardly make myself stay at home mourning for the loss of my Bubu so decided to continue with my weekend activity. 

Dated Ai Ling and Chew for our jogging session. But due to the mourning and swollen eyes, my mood was not up to any jog at all. We end up walking for 20 minutes and salvage ourselves in the hawker food stalls around. Not very healthy, I know. But hell I need comfort food!


Kites flying!


Looks like we had quite a run eh? ROFL


:)
 I never expect a great view of landscape and the huge lake from this park. If we want to jog around the lake for a trial, we really have to make sure enough stamina and water to last this one HUGE lap!


Ah chew smiling with a view behind!

Me and Ai Ling. 
Me and Chew
View above the lake









The above flower shots are just random clicking on being a so-called photographer. Still making her fingers clear on how to move around with this G12...

After our so-called jog-a-walk, we moved back to the hawker stalls to indulge in some comfort food. Not much of a variety though. More on toys and kites for the kids.

I miss this fish satay. Back in those primary school days. Yummy!
Then, we drove back home to Chew's house to get ourselves clean before indulge further on the comfort food. But her mom had some fabulous durians waiting for us. Fresh from the fridge..BURP!!


For the night, we went to Silver Spoon, an italian restaurant in Manjalara. Price at average and taste is not bad. Worth to try and you will sure come back for more!

Nothing more serious than deciding what to indulge!

The kitchen feel very Italian

Menu is not really extensive but quite some choices for you to choose

Calamari Salad
This calamari salad took us by surprise because the calamari is MORE than the vegetables. But perfectly grilled with that finger licking good garlic dip. Fabulous combination. Should pair this with Beer!

Hawaiian Pizza
 Taste is average. I'm hoping for more cheese.

Chicken Cordon Bleu
This was a disaster. Took 3 bites of the chicken and I had my stomach twisted due to overdosed of Salt! Too salty and I am so sure it didn't taste like any Cordon Bleu chicken at all! Luckily the mashed potatoes at the side save this dish.

We had a pasta with salmon. Didn't get the picture because another dish that is no need for attention about. Nothing wrong with the pasta but I'm not a fan of smoked salmon. 

Creme Brulee
The crispy sugar coating makes perfect ending for the night. But the custard should freeze it longer.

Tiramisu
This is not bad, but the espresso flavour not rich enough for my taste bud.

Overall, I'll still back for more even though certain dishes are really needless to mention. But, the previous try of their risottos make me crave for more. 

Saturday started with tears and end with more gossips, laughter, good food and great friends.

Mourning for Bubu is a sure thing but I know he wish me to enjoy my life here. I'll definitely meet him some day, some where, up there.

This weekend was tough and restless. Hope next week will be a better one.

So God, I had enough mourning and depression. Please surprise me with laughter and love. Amen!
