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 :)

We're 8 years old :)

I wanted to post this earlier but have been so sick I couldn't even move a finger to type. Ok exaggerating, but I was very physically sick until today, I've finally fully recovered! And took my little new bag for a walk outside hehe.

Anyway, Happy 8th Anniversary to us! I know it's a little late so I'm going to cheat on the date just because I can.

Our anniversary is on the 25 June, which happens to be:

1. Wk's father's birthday
2. One of Wk's friends' birthday
3. The day Michael Jackson died
4. The day Farah Fawcett died

LOL.

Because it's his dad birthday and also because I had to work, we didn't get to do much but he did packed bee hoon + lala jien to my house just because I said  I wanted to eat :) We initially wanted to celebrate it a day before the day itself but I was too sick, so our dinner plan at Las Carretas is postponed to some time next week to make up for it :)

Ok need to sleep now. Toodles!

OMG

Ok I should not have complained about my parents not bringing me with them on their mini Europe trip. My mom got me a huge souvenir tee hee XD

No this is not the BIG one obviously but I just thought I'd share as it is one of the souvenirs they got me. Swarovski crystals from Austria for each of my siblings and I.

Whoa!

=)
I refuse to show a picture of the bag because 1. Technically I didn't pay for it so I shouldn't be proud., but that doesn't mean I'm not happy ok only stupid people would not be lol. 2. If you're curious, take a guess by looking at the handle - I'm sure it's pretty easy if you're familiar with the brand, or if you've always been looking at the bags online and daydream of the day you'll buy one aka like me hahaahh.

There's also a CD of a local Hungarian violinist's recording bought from Budapest woo woo woo I'm listening to it right now actually it's brilliant! He's playing his improvised version of Monti's Czardas it's craaaaazy. Oh well Czardas IS a type of Hungarian dance so it's no surprise that he plays well.

Anyway. No pictures cos I'm lazy haha. My mom's luggage was lost at first but they found it already and it came home today. The CD and the bag's dust  bag were in the lost luggage too so thank goodness it's safe now.

Ok random note,

Recently bought this nail polish and I was and am still sooooooo intrigued by the colour!

Sooooooooo

Sometimes he follows me to work. It's great having a boyfriend who's into architecture. Can help to organize the shop a little! All thanks to him, everything's much neater now.

Perfume for my lips lol. The thing is, I only bought (using the bf's money LOL) this cos of the scent. The Body Shop's lip balms and lip butters are pretty much rubbish on my lips. Doesn't help much with the dry patches and peeling at all but whenever I feel a little blah with my lips (when they're not dry), I like to pop a little of this and savour the pink guava smell mmm...

Self explanatory.

My Gyu Tan Don, some YSL lipsticks, some macadamia nuts etc are now in the plane, on its way to MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

=))))))))) <--------- 'senyum kambing' wtf

My old hard disk is dying. Yesterday I wanted to print something extremely important. My heart skipped 2 beats when the computer couldn't detect the hard disk after I've connected it. Then I went to my brother's computer and it too, couldn't detect. Skipped 10 beats. Came back to my computer and tried again. Knocked the hard disk a little, shaked it a little. Then that connecting indicator made its sound. *Exhale

Seriously, time to transfer everything out. I have 80GB of junks inside. And my computer is being such a bitch these days, so freaking slow.

Ok since somebody's gonna be back tomorrow, won't be updating as much. Busy. Or get busy. Wtf.

Bye.
~x <----- fly kiss

Oh btw, one XL picture 4U2C (HAHAHAHAHAH WTF ANYONE REMEMBER THIS STUPID ACRONYM LOL!)

Wk commented about my pictures in my previous 2 posts and said,

"Why your expression like that? Like want to smile dunno how to smile like that."

WTF -____-

Ok, now IN YOUR FACE!


Stupid rats

Another HUUUGE picture of me tee hee XD


So apparently the stupid rats aren't stupid after all. The poison's still around and there's crap everywhere as always. 

I think I really need to get a trap now. The only reason I didn't, is because I don't know how to dispose it later.

My life has been so boring as of late. I've been working and nothing else. My dad that he'll sponsor us (siblings & I) a vacation to anywhere nearby. I think he's feeling guilty for only bringing my youngest sis to cruise around Europe with them hmpph. Hopefully we'll be able to work something out. 

So, Bandung, Phuket or Krabi?

Freebies!

My parents along with my youngest sister are off on a cruise touring parts of Europe for 2 weeks. I'm jealous! =( My sister is only 10 and she has been to Europe! The very first time I get to step out of the country was when I was 12, to Korea and my other sister then was only 9 wtf. WHY. Why do the youngest kids get all the fortune?! I had to 'earn' that trip to Korea by studying hard and scoring straight As for UPSR and my sister didn't even have to!

Ok I sounded like a stupid small little girl whining lol.

How about a fucking huge picture of my face to amuse you?

Lol.

Last Saturday I went for this free makeover by Lancome which I won at askCLEO.com. Someone kind helped to drop my name and I was selected! :) Yay to free stuffs! Hahahaha.The picture above is the result of the makeover.

Hrm. Still look as awesome as before HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway, as if a free makeover is not enough, there's even a doorgift! Aka free goodies!


And that made my weekend :)

Ok now let's move to a more disgusting note.

If you follow my twitter, you'll probably see my twits filling up your timeline at certain times. That's because usually when I don't feel like I have anything to tweet about, I can not tweet for the entire day or two. But whenever I feel like tweeting, your timeline will look like it just got spammed hahahaha.

So anyway, I was complaining about these fucking rats which visits my dad's gallery frequently, when the shop is closed obviously. There's a huge hole at the bottom of the wooden back door, probably its way of entry and exiting la. The major problem is, it poops a fucking lot. Not everywhere, but on specific spots, hidden or not. AND ITS VERY IRRITATING OK.

Not only that, it'll rummage through the rubbish bin, and if it happens to have some food remainings, that filthy rodent will take it out, bring it to a spot it likes (usually underneath the table or behind huge paintings), and nibble until it doesn't feel like it anymore. Yes, that means the food will rot and smell there if I never see it. 


Mmm I like the name.

I spreaded this in the shop last Friday. Didn't see any dead rats so far. I still see the poison, some were crushed, possibly nibbled by the rats?

Will update when there's good news.

Another disgusting thing is lizards. I really need to buy that lizard spray that Wai Tuck has been talking about. 

Oh on another note, Wk is coming back in 3 days time YAYYYYYYYYYYYY!

I needed a treat

Tag: Yer I'm so quirky!

on
Tuesday, June 1, 2010
Tagged by Adeline from Through Beauty Eyes! Read about how quirky she is here =)

Ok now read mine.

1. I get very extreme with food/drinks I love.
If I discover something I really like, I can eat/drink it every single day like I'm obsessed with it. Say I try something really nice from this restaurant. If I really like it, I won't mind going back there to eat the same thing again the next day, and again, and again... the only thing which will stop me is the embarassment of eating there so frequently that the people start recognizing me. Or like when I discovered Starbucks Caramel Frappucino, I swear I had it for at least 4 times in a week. And then I went broke wtf...

2. When eating KFC (or prawn or crab etc), I use only 4 fingers.
Which is the thumb and the pointing finger on both hands. I'm not sure if this is considered quirky but when I look at the way the bf eats, he uses all 10 fingers. Ok maybe that's too much, but at least 8 of his fingers gets dirty. And I thought he's weird. Or maybe I'm weird for not wanting to dirty the other 6 fingers when I eat.

3. I wear makeup to make sure I wash my face at the end of the day.
I know it's gross, but if you're working an average of 10 hours a day, you'll understand how exhausting it can get. Every night when I reach home, all I want to do is sleep. I feel so lazy to even brush my teeth and wash my face sometimes, telling myself it's ok, only one day (which always leads to another) and it's not that I have makeup on anyway. Which obviously is still BADDD! My skin is sooo prone to acne that not washing my face for a day or two even if it's only in the night, can cause breakouts. FML. So by putting on makeup, at the end of the day, no matter how tired I am, I'll still know that I NEED to remove that gunk on my face otherwise the pimples will start sprouting like no tomorrow.

4. I like the smell of floor detergent.
I have always been a Coke lover, still am. I know it's bad for health, isn't it a norm already for humans to like things which are bad for them? Haha. There's something in Coke which keeps me addicted to it. Anyway, I've heard from somewhere/someone that Coke can actually be used to remove stains on the floor, is it true? They say something in it is also used in floor detergents. Truth is, I secretly like the smell of floor detergents. *blush* I know, so damn weird. And I figured the reason I love Coke is because it actually does smell like floor detergent.

5. When I'm thinking of something... or nothing, I'll start walking around and clapping my hands slowly. 
Ok this is really weird and it needs no explanation.

What's the most quirky fact about you?
