Nice afternoon at Cafe Barbera

The day has been busy for her, started early in the morning and she even took her lunch light & quick. By the time she finally done with her classes and activities, it was already late in the afternoon. But she wasn't tired, because she was looking forward to what she is going to eat later, which is her favourite rich creamy pasta. The place she planned to go is located in the town which will took almost an hour to reach because it was peak hour.

The other her changed the plan and suggested to go to a place that all of them never been. Something happened on the other her that day and she totally wasn't in the mood - very, very down. She wasn't happy too, something was bothering her and she need to be pampered with food. He was stressed, and perhaps a little bit emo. And he also wanna have a rich carbonara. He said he waited for a week.

At first she felt reluctant as she really wanted that plate of pasta to heal. But the other girl was in a condition that is way worst than her. They took her suggestion because it wasn't a good time to go to the place they planned. Great coffee, dessert & sandwiches is what made that place so attractive, she said.

The other her brought all of them to a place that caught her attention every time she passed by. It wasn't outstanding. She forgot about that place even though at the moment she noticed she told herself she must visit one day, but few second after that, the thought was left far behind.

It located behind the crowded Bangsar, away from the busy streets. The name itself tells how the place is. Once she walked in, the place is filled with great aroma of freshly brewed coffee. She knew she is going to have a good time there. It was quite empty at the time, probably because that time they went is between tea time and dinner. Just 2 tables were occupied.

Delicious food never fails to cheer girls up. Note : Whenever a girl is moody, bring her to a delicate place to eat dessert. You'll definitely make her day even though it maybe just one day.

She was recommended to take the smoked salmon sandwich.

Check out the checker toast mark.
And Napoli on her choice.

He sticked to his carbornara. It was soooooooo satisfying even though she had only one bite.

And a pizza to his friend.

The other her had her favourite thousand layer cake. Indeed, the cake is orgasmicly tasty. The layers spread and melted on your tongue. Imagine that.

It put a smile on both the girls. The photos will tell u the stories.

Although she didn't have her desire food, but the smoked salmon that melted on her tongue worked the same. Her day can say is made.

And that quaint little afternoon was spent on talking and enjoying food.

Cafe Barbera,

18, Lorong Maarof, Bangsar Park,

59000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Opening hours : Mon - Sun : 9:30-23:00

I dont know what title to give. But it's long, about my driving experience in KL.

About 2 weeks ago, my parents were kind and generous enough to let me bring the car to KL for one week (upon request!).

I was driving my mom's Suzuki Grand Vitara, a car I was never familiar with. I always refuse to drive her car because first it is big and I never understand how the brake works.
Too bad they weren't confident with myvi and said the tyre is not safe for long journey. There's some bonus for driving that big car is, i'm a newbie so is safer and I can bully small car. Fine. =D I'm happy, overall.

For one week driving around in town, I sort of understand why shen yee keep telling me driving in KL isn't fun at all.
Why it wasn't fun is of course the unavoidable, traffic jam everywhere at peak hour/dinner hour/lunch hour. As bangsar is so near to the place I'm staying, I have to travel for 20 freaking minutes to reach there. wth. If I'm in kuantan, I can travel from Air Putih until Wong Ah Jang or even further.

Next thing is the driver's driving attitude! Oh come on, imma newbie! Because the GPS fucked up constantly so I was forced to slow down to let it reconnect to the satellite then not more than 1 sec I heard hons. By slowing down means decelerating slowly, not stepping the brake abruptly.

And lastly, the car is a HUGE fuel burner! I spent so much on petrol and the thing is dad made me bear all the cost myself. ARGH. Can feel my purse dripping blood. Over my budget because I never expected it'll be this costy.


Anyway, since it was just a week, so it doesn't affect much.


It was a pretty productive week.
As I met up with people whom I never meet for years, drove my beloved hostel mates to places they haven't been and I have more choices on lunch and dinner!

As for food, I had pork mee that I've longed for!




I also went Checkers for dinner and after that I drove 3 monkeys and 1 alien to Putrajaya for late night view!
The 3 monkeys are Teresa, Jimmy and Soo Yee.
As they were playing and having fun like kids on the way to Putrajaya and on the way back, they slept soundly like tired kids. I dont even know they were asleep until ET told me. Kids don't tell you when they want to sleep right? -.-
ET and I were the calm and cool ones, looking at the GPS and road signs like papa and mama.

On Wednesday night I drove Reetha, Soo Yee, Jimmy, Teresa and Catherine to the longest night market in Malaysia. It was the first time for everyone except Catherine and I. I dreamt for this and now it came true! I hope you guys enjoyed. (I received complaints that Jimmy was not in the mood because he was sick!)
I always have this small little wish that I can bring them to pasar malam. I'm happy as long as they're happy.


As for people I haven't met for years, first one is Pen Nee. hehe, I think she looks hot. I wonder how she changed since she went to UK. She did in a good way. =D
oooh, im missing my long hair now.

we had a late night karaoke session and there's 8 of us. the song choice in AmpSquare is really limited. and and and, it's only 3 hours =(

too much of flash.

Second one is Wai Shan!
Oh my, since she came to KL to study I have not really sit down and talk to her.
Then she left to UK for her economics study, the lesser chance I can meet her. I do met her few times in some occasion but those was just hi bye (I didn't make a conversation because I was shy).
She was back last few months for holidays and internship. I was going to ask shen yee out but then she told me she's meeting wai shan so yeah, like finally. I'm really delighted of meeting her. Gathered at snowflakes subang then asia cafe as we don't want to occupy the seats in snowflakes.
We had an enjoyable and lovely talk about the beautiful memories of our school time. Aww. I realized that we're all adults now because we were talking about our teenage memories. Despite the horrible feelings of driving alone to Subang without the GPS, the whole night was awesome and i felt blissful.

Glad to know that she's doing great and shan, you have a bright future ahead, all the best!

Next is Reetha. I really can't remember when is the last time we hang out together like we did last time. I picked her up for lunch and we strolled around Bangsar at the hot afternoon of Friday. Bangsar is a really nice place for shopping. Both of us bought a top! Hers is white and I got a black one. I really enjoy every moment with Reetha. Again, I felt blissful.


I even went to One Utame three times in that week. Each time is with Soo Yee's accompaniment. First time I went to collect my purse, second time she went to collect her bus ticket and I bought 5 packets of rabbit food. Third time is to send her there but ended up having our lunch there.


Finally, friday is the day I have to drive the car back to my mom! I was lucky enough to have a big pour that morning that it washed off all the bird shits on the car.

Thank you mr. yeo for accompanying me.
Spot my new neon yellow hoodie? I fell in love with it on the first sight in g.a.p. It is warmy~ How could I not love it.
My sister then told me something when im purchasing it. I won't be realizing if she hasn't tell me : All my hoodies are in bright colour. Purple lah, orange lah, then now, yellow.
My stuffs are always in bright colours and on contrary, limiki's will always be colours in winter or autumn. She rarely have things with brilliant colour. It's natural. We're always opposite.


That's all about my one week of driving in town! Like I mentioned, it was a fun experience because of the convenience of accessing to everywhere.


Regarding the last post, I now look like this : =3
plus a very fake smile to make it less childish.

Btw, I just got a hair cut. Front there is short and I look ultra childish now. The new hair cut makes my face rounder! I look like a bun now -.-

short visit to kL with besties

A 4 days trip to KL with harn wei and x-er!

harnwei trip is to visit around, shopping, and to meet up with her ex classmates. as for x-er is of course to accompany her darling =)

I dropped by HELP to support FrequenC's biweekly performance ! Good job everyone!



harnwei followed me to college and watched the performance too! I hope she likes it =)

After that we left and we're about to meet up with x-er and shen yee. But before that, I brought her to one of my favourite spot, Wondermilk!!






Our shit-like cupcakes =)

Harn wei took wonderful pictures there









Not forget to snap an instant for her !


Their tray mat's design is so delecate, I took it back home, just can't resist of not owning one.
And now it's on my bed side !




We then took a Rapid KL bus to OneU. Okay, I have limited experience with RapidKL so I didn't know which one to take. So we just randomly got up to a bus which will lead us to The Curve, Damansara area. It shouldn't be passing by or stop by OneU. But then harn wei used her innocent touristy eyes to beg the driver to drop us there. Thank god he did! So we got down safely at One Utama!

So, what can 2 girls do in OneU? That is shopping!!!! We walked in Forever21 and spent hours in there. And each of us spent almost RM400 on shopping. Totally out of our budget but nevermind! We were happy and enjoyed!!
Okay I admit that night we both felt guilty.


While waiting for x-er and her darling to meet up with us, I suggested to go Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to try out their new yogurt dessert.

It was yummmmmmmy.



Hamyuzai came to joined us and we all had our dinner at Sushi Zanmai.

A little lalat drama happened in Sushi Zanmai where there's dead lalat in harnwei's steamboat. She's so cute. The first word came out from her mouth is "FUCK!" when she saw there's a dead lalat in the pot. And she already ate half of it.

In the end, the manager solved the problem by giving her a one new set, didn't charge her for that and dessert for everyone! =) well, the manager did the exactly right thing - solve the problem on the spot and over 90% this customer will come back again!


Harn Wei and I put our second night at hamyuzai aka shen yee's house. We stayed at her brother's room and totally fancied by his personal computer - the TETRABYTE DATABASE of movies. woah. we then spent our night viewing all the movies, discussing the movies, and pillow talk until.........5am. It was nice pillow talking with you harn wei =)


Didn't want to go to much on the details for these few days. Only highlight some events here =)



On the third day, we meet up with miss qiao yi and went RedBox, The Garden for K session!
Qiao Yi, glad to hear that you're happy with your life now. Enjoy and appreaciate it!
you know whatever happens, we'll always by your side.


X-er brought us to a Thai Restaurant for dinner and the food there was superb, not to mention the ambience =) I still miss the sauce of our appetizer!

We were really exhausted at the third night. But still I spent some time with shen yee, went through her interesting pictures taken in Australia and New Zealand, listened to her exciting stories and I can tell she had great fun and these memories are lifetime, she'll remember it forever. She gave me two beautiful postcard she collected from her trip. And she has an Ukulele in her room! It totally reminds me of Zee Avi!
Well, I hope I'll have the same fun as her too. Except bungee jump and sky diving, I dare not to do it, unless one day i wake up with this courage and decide to do something adventurous.


ONE MORE THING ::

I'll be performing with FrequenC at 12.45pm, 20th June 2010 (Sunday) at The Curve in Feta de la Musique ! This time, I'm performing as a vocalist. Yes, I'll sing.

This great event is organized by HELP University College and it'll be from 10am to 10pm.

20th June 2010 is Father's Day and also my dear daddy's 50th Birthday.
But I won't be there to celebrate for him. Uggggh, but I've promised to perform so I can't break it and call it off. I struggled a lot of to go to this performance or to cancel it. But at last I decided to go because dad asked me to. But I know he actually wants me to be with him during his birthday. Im so sorry dad..... I promised to perform because I thought you're able to come to KL. I didn't expect brother have to deal with school St. John and blew off the plan. Sorry dad.

Please, feel free to come and support us! There's also other great band performing that day as well. Most probably I'll be there for the whole day.

21 April 2010 & Last Saturday

R's short visit to Malaysia. Me, C and T went to meet her even though we're busy preparing for exam, because it worths.


Dine at T.G.I. Friday's. Was my first visit to Friday's and I am not impressed by them ;) This is my opinion so no offence. The variation and choices of food are similiar to Chili's, is just the price is abit higher. Chili's salad is more appetizing, Chili's quadrillla *forgot how to spell*steak and even margaritas is better!
Sorry to TGI Friday's supporter, we all agree that Chili's will still be our first choice!

No photos are taken.

That was on last saturday.

As for TODAY, we meet up again and this time we went Sushi Zanmai (-.- I go there too often and now im getting bored)

Tried something new :: something with Eel.


Bu cuo xia. And it is so filling after you finish the whole thing. I then realized it is better to be shared.


After Sushi Zanmai, Soo Yee was craving for ice cream, and she realized today is Baskin Robbin's Pink Day! She ran quickly into the shop desperately like kid (so cute), left us behind, had a quick glanced on all the flavours and waited for us to decide whether we want to take the promotion one or one bucket.

At last we decided to take the Pink Day promotion,
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
the most tempting, mouth-watering, sweetest photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TA-DA!
(say awwwwwwwwwwww~)

What's your flavour?
We have 10 here!
Do note that next wednesday is the very last time in the promotion period so don't miss it!
Bring something pink and show them!!
2 scoops at RM7.50 eh.

Our adorable Soo Yee! She is very obsess with ice-cream (me too).
Look at her, happy and satisfied with the cup on her hand.
She'll smile even wider if that is Haagen Daaz! ;)

Miss Soo is *ehem* single and *ehem* available. Adding coughs in between because I don't wanna state it obviously.

I choosed a chocolate one and rum raisin. Didn't finish the rum raisin because it taste weird.

Phei yee said I look slim in this photo! Yay! I want to show this to my mom!!

Our pretty petite ::

All of us.
We actually brought 5 cups of Baskin Robbinsto Starbucks, sat down and chat happily for hours. Never order drinks at all. We're way too full to take anymore drinks!
How kind of them for not shoo-ing us away! ;)

R is going back tomorrow! She was in rush so she cannot meet everyone in such short time.


Haha, some upcoming post will be about a restaurant that cooks creamy mashed potato, then something about my family, then BR's pink day, school stuff ;)

finally im here!

Finally I am now in HELP hostel, after a few months of waiting since I registered myself.
And I got my student ID!

These days I've been busy packing my stuff and preparing to learn to live alone.

Luckily when I got here (HELP Residence), the weather is fine, the ppl are nice and the room is well equiped.

At first look, the room is clean and I thought I don't need much cleaning.
But it is totally opposite! The room is sooooo dusty in every corner, even have spider webs. aiks.

Mummy helped me to clean all the dust because she know her daughter's nose is sensitive.
Whereas daddy rest and took a nap on the bed after few hours of driving and he is going to drive home later.

It is 6pm and dad & mum just left my room and heading my home in kuantan.

Having serious homesick now.....
I miss everyone in my home..........
aaaaawh, tears is gathering around my eyes... ="(
