BBQ Galore~~

Thumbs up!! :D

Charcoal was such an experience! Zmah was right. They would stuff u with grilled food non-stop. As much as we wanted not to give in to 'no retreat, no surrender', eventually we had to put the red flag up!

Food was great. Everyone was enjoying the fact that we just had to stay put and the chefs would just come and serve you.

Aming learnt a lesson... the hard way. haha. Sorry we didnt warn you earlier! Kehkehkeh. So now... you know not to sit next to Nurul coz she only take small bites of everything!

Then off to CZ Gadong to lepak kajap..

Jalan-jalan Cari Makan

Sungkai:

OGH: been twice, plenty of choices
CDP Curryhouse: once, Ala Carte. Hmmm~~~ asam fish
Airport: twice. Hmmm nyamannnnn! Tat we hav to come back after sending someone off to have some more food. (Yes, apparently you can do that, go out for a bit, then continue eating).
Charcoal: Later. hehe
Nyonya: Tmrw with family
Dragon seafood: Miri trip on Sat

Empire? Misato?

Sahur:

Dynasty: Nyamannnnnn!
Vanda: Overrated

ILotus: Hmmm the question is when? hehe Friday nite?
McDonalds? hehehe

Speechless Nani @ Swensens

I think everyone would agree with me on that.. for the 1st time, Nani hasn't got much to say... or if she had, she was defeated by a certain someone. Everyone got a share in teasing her last nite. KEHKEHKEH. See Ling.. we behaved! Didnt we lings? hihihihi ;)

Pics with Zm.

Happy Birthday Mama~~~

No, it wasn't a prank. An intended one that is. HAHA.

Zmah wanted to surprise Wadi during dimsum sahur at Vanda last sat.Well, its sunday actually coz we had sahur around 12ish. I think the sahur buffet is somehow overrated. Im not sure if its because we came 2hrs later than when the buffet started...

Anyhow, we sent the cake over in the afternoon... Came around 12ish after finished watching Liverpool 0-0 Birmingham city match at CZ Qlap.

They told me they havent got any adult bday song to play, just kids one. I said to go ahead... then when the song came on... ~~Selamat Hari Jadi Mama~~~ WTH! hahahhaha. Oh well... Then it went on and on nonstop... until like 10mins later... the usual bday song came up. UDAH ATU.

But it was funny nonetheless... Zmah got teased bcoz of the song... "Zm, are u hinting to Wadi kah?" hehehhehe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WADI! aka MAMA!!
:D

Let the marathon begins! ;)

My Sungkai Marathon hasnt actually kick off this year. But saying that, I've sungkai-ed out 3 times already. Twice to OGH then yesterday to CDP Curryhouse.

We've gone for dimsum sahur at Dynasty thur nite and later we're going to Vanda Restaurant for dimsum sahur again.

This year I'd like to try the steamboat sahur at Ilotus and sungkais at Empire, Aport, Deli Nutressh and Misato ( coz I loveeeeeeee the volcano roll *slurps*).

Nani's Advanced Surprise Bday

At CZ Qlap...

Capers & CZ Qlap

Me, Aming, Izza and Chaap had lunch at Fratinis last week then Aming mentioned that he was craving for pasta at Capers. I proposed the idea to Zmah, and she executed. kekeke. Wala~~~ Capers it was after terawih on the eve of 1st Ramadan.

Then off downstairs to CZ for Izza's surprise bday celebration. She turns *ehem* 27 this yr.. ( not 28 btw!). The last time she celebrated her bday in Brunei was 7 yrs ago! Ling.. u've been away tooooo long. Its good to have u home :D

World Heart Day 2007

Date: Sunday 9th September 2007
Venue: Jerudong Park Playground
Time: 6.30am onwards
Theme: Healthy Families, Healthy Communities

Events: Aerobics, Walkathon, Field (Games), Healthy Happy Heart Race (which Im involved in), Colouring Competition.

Before the Race start, there was a line dancing performance from Gleneagles. Me & Effah had a good laugh. HAHAHA. It was just sooo funny, watching our superiors trying to follow the moves. It was like spot the celebrity!

The Healhty Happy Heart Race was based on the Amazing Race. 2 contestants in a team to compete against each other with elimination along the way. They had to complete tasks at each checkpoint to proceed to the next one.

I arrived at JP 6.15am. Lots of people already opppsss hehe was suposed to be there at 6am to set things up. Oh well.... our event didnt start until 8.30am.

Our committee was divided into 4 groups, each assigned at different checkpoints at the playground.

Ours were at the slides, bumper cars & the skating/rollerblading track next to snake & ladder (and yes, in that order). I had fun hiding the oranges for one of the tasks - this was at the slides *evil grin*.

The contestants were really fast, it took them much quicker time than we anticipated for them to complete the task. Mannnn Ive never run that fast in a looooonggg time.

We started at 8.30 and we finished 10 checkpoints around 10ish. hehehe good thing tho... coz once we finished the event we could go home :)

Tue, 28th Aug

We got up early and had breakfast at the hotel. Finally and only on the last day of our trip we used the bf coupons! Haha.

Took a taxi to the Kraftangan place and went round the exhibition. It took us a looooooongg time to decide on the different fabrics. Well, we ended up at one of the'stalls' and boyyyyyy his place was soooo messy (our fault btw). Batiks were lying everywhere on the floor.

In the end, I had to sit down. Paning paning. Haha. We were his 1st customers for the day.... lots of discounts.. & *ehem* special thanks to our connection. And yes, we will keep our words.. give us a ring when you're here kehkehkeh.

Got back to the hotel then off to Nandos for a quick lunch before leaving for the airport.

Mon, 27th Aug

Sun, 26th Aug

Sat, 25th Aug

I think we got up late again. And today we went to KLCC to shop. I think the morning we went shopping around Bukit Bintang area.

At KLCC we agreed to meet up at LV 1st then I got a msg saying that Nurul and Izza were running late at Clinique counter. So I went there.. and we ended up having a mini makeover for the evening event. hehe.

Got back to hotel with only 15mins to spare b4 Fadil picked us up for the fireworks competition at Putrajaya. We were already running late. Traffic was sooo bad and Fadil said it was because it was the school holidays.

Putrajaya was like a sim city. It was so proper and so 'katun-like' in the sense that when you passed thru the streets you feel like you're in one of those mini structure models. So... hmm I cant even figure out the word to describe it.

We found a parking space and walked towards where we tot the venue was. Only to find out it wasnt. HAHA.

When we finally got to the place, dinner was almost over. They only refilled the food when we almost finished eating. Food was quite good actually.

Fireworks started 10pm sharp. And that night it was team Italy. I have never seen so much fireworks lighting up the sky. And the view from our place was soooo perfect!! Well, despite the 2 selfish people up front who were standing and blocking our view slightly.

The journey back to KL was terrible!!! We got stuck in the traffic jam for 2hrs!!! hehe poor Fadil, he had to endure 4 mad women in a car!!! All the screaming, giggling, teasing, whining. LOL. We did leave him in peace tho... kekkee semua slept.

Then Nurul woke us up. 'Bgn bgn! Makan tani!' HAHAHA. Yupe, we had nasi lemak again.. this time to dine in. It was actually a gerai along a street in Kampong Baru.

After midnite snack, Fadil brought us cruising around supposedly the hot spots in KL. I think it was around Tasek Titiwangsa area coz we could see the Eye on Malaysia there. Got to hotel 3am. Showered then slept past 4.30am!!

Phew what a loooooongggg day! HEHE.

Friday 24th Aug

Got up late, took our sweet time getting ready and 1st thing on our agenda was brunch.... at Nandos, just across at Sg Wang Plaza. Yummmmmmyyyyy!!!! :D Even yummier was dessert... at Secret Recipe Lot 10. We had choc banana cheese cake ( my personal fav), tiramisu & New York cheese cake (Izza's fav).

Then the whole afternoon we were off to Masjid India to shop for fabrics. Textiles heaven!!!!! The kain were sooooooooooo nice!!! hehe we got ourselves the same kain each but in different colours.

We had late dinner at this place called Bora-bora around Ampang area. Quite a nice place actually. Food was good. I had one of my many coconut drinks ( I think I had 5 during the trip hehe). After dinner we had Haagen Daaz at Bintang walk. Slurppsssss~~ choc choc chip ;)

Thur, 23rd Aug

Left home around 6pm and when I got to the airport Izza was already there! Amazing!! hehe. Check in took forever. Suprisingly it was a full flight. And somehow our flight got retimed to 8.40pm when it was scheduled for 8.15pm. Then again the incoming flight was delayed and we only took off around 9ish.

While we were waiting to check in, someone *ehem* invented the term DUMB BLONDE VERSI MELAYU. And the dumb moments started there onwards the whole trip.

We knew we'd arrive in KL around midnite, so Nurul asked Fadil to get us nasi lemak. Amongst the lauk were chicken, daging and hati buyah.

'Hati buyah ni hati lembu ke? Takde...'
'Paru paru ada le...'

HAHAHAHA.

Nasi lemak antarabangsa, thats what it's called was soooooooooooo nyaman that even tho it was sooooo pedas, we finished them all. Or maybe it was because we were hungry.

When we got to the hotel, we were told that the hotel was fully booked. They didnt have the room that we wanted so they upgraded us to a suite for the night. Sweet indeed!!! :D

DB~~

I havent been in the mood to update the blog lately. Main reason is because there are just too many pics to upload from our KL trip. Sure thing, we girls had lotsaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fun!! It was all about down to earth yummy food. haha.:D. and oh...

Dumb Blondes Versi Malaya. LOL.

I do know the mood I was in for the past 2 nites. keke. Or more like what food I was craving for. Its nearly posa, that's my excuse keke. We went for ambuyat thur nite & satay last nite. Slurpssssssssss!!
