HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!!

Hi all!! Happy new year... All the best for this new year. =) Hehe.. Wake up at 12noon today. Wa, am I shocked when i look at the time. Hehe... this is the first time after working that I ever woke up so late. Anyway, today is public holiday. Nothing much today too at home.

Surfing the net today... Since I remember that during Christmas, google.com is having a lot of different logo on tat day and before tat. So I was kind of anticipating for this. But when I surf the net yesterday, I was disappointed to see the normal logo. However, luckily today the google logo is special. The google actually implemented the 2008 figure in the typical logo.

So, this year is the mickey year... Hopefully this will turn out to be a good and prosperous year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

New Year Eve..... 31-Dec

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

OCCASION: NEW YEAR EVE & COLIN'S BIRTHDAY
TIME: 7.30PM
VENUE: MERDEKA PALACE

The menu on New Year Eve
Dish #1: Anitpasto Misto Italianno

Review: Basically it's three pieces of food situated in between three sources. The taste not bad lah.. But the one showing on the left, I don't particularly like that taste.

Dish #2: Stracciatella alla Romana

Review: It's a soup with a "egg-like" thingy inside. At first we thought it's an egg, but it turns out to be a dumpling.

Dish #3: Gnochetti Contadini

Review: This dish is the most filling among all the dishes. The little cubes are potato mixed with other sources. So, it doesn't really taste like potato.

Main course:

Dish #4: Grigliata Di Manzo al Porcine e Tartufo
Review: Beef steak

OR

Dish #4: Dentice Re Del Mare
Review: Fish with baby lobster and pumpkin

Dish #5: Dolci
Review: Chocolate cake for dessert.

Then we celebrate Colin's birthday. Here's the photo of the birthday boy... New Year boy too, since his birthday is exactly on New Year. So nice to have holiday every year during your birthday. He is 29 years old this year. Keke..

This is Colin's birthday present. Hehe.. A watch and "XXX". Hehe.. The little red square thing on the left corner of the photo. ;) Take a guess. Finally, little Colin is growing up. Getting his first 003 - a road to maturity. Wonder when he is going to use it. Hopefully by this year... before he turns 30. ^_^

Outside at the lobby after we finish our dinner. We are wearing the same black mini skirt. Sexy or not?? hehe..

Chirstmas Tree at the center of the lobby.

Mobile voucher or discount

Today i just browse throught my blog, and I found out this super nice website,
<<http://www.mystyle.com.my/>> on my advertisement. This ad caught my attention as it show discount stuff, which is every gal's delight:- getting a cool deal while shopping. Hehe...

Actually I am not very sure how it works but i do get a rough idea. The process is like this, you got a sms saying that you can get a 50% off for an item at XX fashion shop. So, you went there and look for an item being offer. If the original price of this dress, for example is RM50, by showing the sms to the shopkeeper, you can actually buy the dress for RM25! Amazing is it? I had always wanted to search/look for this kind of stuff.. but i never really got any idea or source or supply.. and the only time i can get a good deal is only during mega sales, and mostly it's old stock or out-dated fashion.

Anyway, I am going to explore more abt this mobile voucher stuff. I hope you gals enjoy it too. ;)

10 min later... I just finish taking a look. And guess wat i found? haha..

Giordano
My111: Great 50% off purchase below RM200 for all items.Sms 'my111 giordano' to 33365.
My365: FREE umbrella for purchase of RM150 and above.Sms 'my365 giordano' to 33365.

I can't believe my luck. hehe.. Since I'm staying in Kuching, so I was not really expecting much as most of the offer will only be available in West M'sia. But with "The spring" (new shopping complex) coming in 10-Jan next year, I guess I will be visiting "mystyle" much more often.

Koreana - Part 2

Last night (Christmas), i went to Koreana for dinner. Since last time i forget to take the photo and the dish name, this time i do remember to take down the dish name together with the photo shots. Besides that, i did some editing with the photo to show the photo shown in the menu and the real food when it arrives.

Here it is...

Dish #1: Gal Bi Gim

Dish #2: Yakgaejang

Dish #3: Fried Mandu

And this is the side dishes yesterday. I noticed that the side dishes is different from previous visit. Apparently the dishes changed, except for the Kimchi.

Banana Split, new shop in town

Banana split, it's the new shop in town. Let me recall, if not mistaken, it's open around October. This shop is situated near Banquet, 3rd mile. This shop is non air-conditional, and looks like a normal kopitiam shop. But the food that it offers is different. As the name of the shop implies, the major food/beverage is ice-cream. However, they did offer cake and western food.

I only been there once. And my opinion, this place is so-so only. If i wanna eat nice cake, i will prefer to go to secret recipe, living room or Tom's, where the environment is much nicer, and the cake taste better. ;-)

Here are some of the photo taken there.

Koreana

Hehe... This is kind of late since i promise to write abt this since... hmm.. last month? Anyway, kind of busy that's why I dun have time to write nor update my blog. Only until i found out the different google logo that i start to write my blog.

Okie, let start with this Korean restaurant known as Koreana, which is situated opposite Hilton, on the same row as Scoops, the ice cream shop. Since this it the first time we went there, so it's kind of hard for us to locate this shop, since it's not situated near the road side where we can have a good view of it. We need to walk into the corridor and turn to a walkway.... And if u search carefully, then u will notice this small sign on top of the door... as shown in the picture below. =)

Now, let's talk abt the food. The food there in my opinion is "Not bad le" which is not what i expected as i expect the food to be not suitable for Malaysian taste. That night we order quite a lot. We order two plate of bbq meat (pork and beef) and a bowl of the korean spicy soup. And 6 plate of side dishes, which come together with the bbq dish. The typical way of eating this kind of korean dishes is:-

1) Take a piece of vegetables (leaves)

2) Put the bbq meat on top of the vege

3) Add in side dishes to boost the taste

Side dishes. (6 altogether)

4) Roll the vege and cover the meat

5) Open your mouth big big and eat it!!

6) Yummmmy..... It tastes lovely...

The food was too lovely.. i actually forgot to take photo. Only until all the dishes are done then only i remember to take the photo.

And lastly, we drink the famous beer~ SOJU, which is so famous that every korean drama that they broadcasted show the actors/actoresses drinking this. Hmmm.. the taste... i think it tastes much better than normal beer (Tiger, Calsbeirg) but it's a bit choking if you r not use to it.

Google Logo

Yesterday and today when I online, i noticed that the Google logo is actually changing.... compare to the typical old one. Here is the example..... Maybe because it's Christmas soon and that New Year is around the corner.. so google is taking time to create something to show us the holiday season..
