Have you ever...

... felt like you hate your life? You know you're not trying to sound like you're taking things for granted, you know you're very lucky if compared to many homeless and hungry kids out there, but you somehow want to have just a TINY bit more?

... felt like you want to smash the computer because you can't connect to the internet and Skype with someone dearest to you?

... felt like life is extremely unfair - you see other couples having the chance to be PHYSICALLY together and you feel extremely jealous? Not envious, JEALOUS. You start to think why you pour your heart and soul into the relationship but it doesn't promise you what you really want. You know distance doesn't matter, you still want to hope that your tiny little wish can be granted.

... felt like you don't know what to do with your life - you're unsure of the directions anymore.

... felt like you have such a big dream to achieve but it all topples down when your family doesn't really understand what you're trying to achieve. You try and try and try again to build those sand casltes but again and again, it gets washed away by the sea water. And then, you just feel like walking away and at the same time, feel wasted.

Goodbye DU - I'll miss you.

We've finally moved. To this ulu place called Putra Heights. It's a pretty newly developed place so there's pretty much nothing there - including a lunch kaki =( And my favourite chap fan place, and my favourite place to buy my favourite guava where they'll add shitload of my favourite asam powder =((((((((((((((((

I absolutely hate it when I need to leave after I begin to like a certain place =( 

We... I mean my dad's shop has been there for the past decade. We've moved after being in the front row for 10 years, to the back only because the rent became very intolerable. Stayed for another 2 years and the lack of parking and business became even more intolerable. That makes it 12 years at Uptown. My dad has been talking about moving and finally, it's for real this time. Honestly, I'll miss working there a lot. 

I worked there 4 years ago before entering uni for about half a year, and started working there again since the past 3 months. There's nothing you won't like in Damansara Uptown - EVERYTHING is there. The vibe, the people, the food. It's considered one of the prime locations for commercial and business, possibly everything you need is there. 

Or maybe I should even include "possibly everything you DON'T need is there eg. double parking" lol but hey, if people are not double parking, it's probably not so much of a prime location, no? Double parking is seriously not EVERYONE's fault - it's the developer's fault. They've never put into consideration on parking spaces before building all these sky high commercial towers and 3 stories business buildings. Hello? 2-3 Parking spaces for 3 stories of shops? Ok this totally deserves another post.

But seriously, I WILL miss double parking there. If there's one thing to describe DU, I'll say the double parking madness!

Anyway. I've always complained that my job was boring the crap out of me until I found Shin Dhee who's working very near me, found a few places I like to eat at and a few petshops I like to pass by. On days when I don't feel like walking out, I order McDelivery cos McD's is IN Uptown itself. 

Now in Putra Heights, there's NOTHING of everything I've liked in DU. Now I truly know the meaning of boredom.

Ooh my eyes got punched.

Okbai.

GCB

Quick one before I go to Midvalley to pick up one more MAC item I reserved hihi!

Yippee new stuffs to play with :)

Have you guys tried the new GCB (what a ridiculous name, can't they just put the full name? GCB sounds like some Hokkien cursing) by McDonalds? I actually think it's very nice! If not, better than the Prosperity Beef Burger and the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe!

Noooooooo!

That's my beloved toner T____T

Yesterday this dumb bug flew into the shop. I was scared shitless cos I thought it was some gigantic bumble bee! It was flying around the tops of the shop with that freaking loud buzzing noise until I heard some "ping pang ping pang" sound. I kinda guessed that stupid bug flew into the fan but never thought it was so stupid that it actually squeezed itself into the type which has a cover (sorry dunno what it's specifically called but you know what I mean). After a while it somehow squeezed itself out of the fan and dropped onto the floor. There after it was slowly dying, couldn't fly but was crawling slowly. I first thought it was some huge giant fly but apparently it's a carpenter bee. I was tweeting about this bug the whole of yesterday, everyone thinks I'm obsessed with a bug. It's not just A BUG it's THE BUG! Seriously if you guys have seen it you'd be as crazy as I was cos it was super huge!

We're moving soon!

Ok time to go get a new toner. Bye.

Baby,

Ignorance is not bliss in our case, but when I cry, I really can't talk to you.

Oishi!

To celebrate Wk's achievement in getting good results during the past semester, we decided to have a feast at Sushi Zanmai.

Agedashi Tofu - the BEST thing everrrr.

Soft shell crab too!

Unatama don.

Sashimi!

Beef roll with mushroom.

Shishamo mmm.

I've been having a good time pretty much everyday since he's back hence the lack of time/interest to blog unless I have a picture or two worth sharing. Still working at my dad's. Music students just finished sitting for their practical exam so it feels extremely good right now, zero stress. Fingers crossed everyone passes, and hopefully with either merit or distinction if it's not too greedy to ask for lol.

Did a little bit of shopping of course =)

Ok till then.

Gimme some Fajitas

So here's our experience at Las Carretas. No, this is not a food review because I'm not a food reviewer and I'm not gonna try to act like one either. Just a general opinion of the place we celebrated our belated 8th anniversary :) 

One of the music centres I teach in is only 1 or 2 shops away from Las Carretas and needless to say I get to  pass by the Mexican restaurant very frequently. I've always been curious about the restaurant looking at how consistently crowded it is on most nights I walk by. I've even seen people from the royalties (car plate no. 1) visiting too.

So this time around when we (Wk and I) were discussing about where to eat at for our anniversary, I cleverly suggested Las Carretas at Taipan Subang because it's the nearest and there's absolutely no hassle of finding the place or Google maps it.

For drinks, we had the Jumbo (for 2 ppl) margarita. We were also served complimentary nachos and salsa dip.

Benji's Skins for starter - potato skins with pieces of lamb stew, bell pepper and cheese. We both loved these.

Entrees: Fajita and Beef backribs. I'm personally not a fan of Fajitas, no comment on that but the beef backribs were delectable.

For dessert, we had their home made brownies and another glass of single margarita tee hee. The brownies was very good too.

Overall, it is a great restaurant which provides great food, ambience and great service.  Price is a little on the higher side, comparable to Chili's I'd say. The menu overall isn't entirely authentic Mexican, similar to Chili's  which is Texas-Mexican, but slightly more Mexican than Chili's. The people there were very friendly, attentive and generally nice. We requested to use two of their Mexican hats for pictures and they happily allowed us and offered to help us take a picture with it.

It was Wk who wanted to take a picture with the Mexican hats. He was like "Eh look at the Mexican hats! Let's ask if we can take a picture with it on" *proceeds to calling the waitress... Look at his satisfied smile in the picture, I can't stop laughing when I look at it lol.

Lol my face.

Ok getting high from the Margarita. I suck when it comes to alcohol huhuhu T_T

Ok yay to great food :)
