On the road

Thanks to the road closure in KL, I was practically jammed all the way to customer site today.


Crawl... crawl... crawl...

Then I noticed something beside the fast lane. 1... 2... 3... ... ... I think I counted about 6 of them just on a stretch of the road for about 1 to 2km.

Guess what are they?

Untitled

Well... as mentioned in the previous entry, I went and submit THE letter again today. This time boss has no choice but to accept it.

On a separate note, sometimes it's funny you know... excuses people come up just to avoid work. "My car not suitable for travelling long distance" H said. My colleague LL said "Get a cab!". Me and another colleague KH LOL in heart.

That fella claims to be how rich how rich... but still driving an ancient Volvo that was not well maintained. Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against driving old car. In fact I'm driving an old car too. But please lah, spend some money to maintain it lah... goodness gracious.

Today...

I finally gave the "letter" to my boss. But he asked me to stay, want me to take back the "letter" and consider it over the weekend.

Seriously, for me to print out and give the "letter" to him, I've already thought about it and made my decision. So come Monday, it's still gonna be the same outcome.

I really didn't want it to come to this... but what the heck, I guess it's time to move on. Hope my new workplace will be a pleasant one. (One thing for sure, the new place seems to have a lot of leng lui... HAHAHA)





Looking forward to the dawn of a new beginning...

Attending Wedding



Yesterday, me along with Mr Engineer, Zybisko and his girlfriend went up north to attend the wedding of Loctor Mayat which was today. So we left Klang Valley about 2++pm. Along the way we talked and talked a lot of stuffs down the memory lane (ok, I guess we have to admit we're old).

Reached Butterworth around 6-ish. After checking in to a hotel and freshen up a bit, we went to pick up the Loctor for dinner together. After dinner we went for drinks until about midnight.

Today morning, first we attended the church ceremony. Zybisko and Mr Engineer also became part time camera man. After that we went to a restaurant for wedding lunch at about 12:30pm. The lunch was over by about 3pm, and then we departed and head home.

Loctor, all the best to you and wifey.
祝:白头偕老,早生贵子

PS: Photo was linked from Loctor's blog.

Belated Bday Celebration

Last Friday, one of my buddy ask me out to celebrate my belated birthday, together with another friend whose birthday also just passed.

So after work, we met up in Hartamas for dinner. Guess what, the 6 of us went for Korean food (again! but that's only me). We had the BBQ stuff (beef, chicken, ox tongue), some spicy soup (tastes something like tofu soup mixed with chili powder... haha), and the Korean pancake/pizza thingy (again!). LOL. I noticed Korean shop owners like to give something extra to patrons, probably to make them feel good and come back more often. In this case, we're given a bowl of soup with fishballs and stuffs inside. No idea what it's called.

After done with dinner, we went over to a nearby drinking place. Seems like most of the drinking place in this area hired lots of young college girls to serve the patrons. I seldom hangout at Hartamas so this seems kinda new to me (ok, I admit I'm suaku :P).

After a while, my friends wanted to move to another drinking place, so we finished our drinks and left the place. Dropped by this shop near the fire brigade... again, lots of chicks. I guess they use this tactic to lure more customers. We drank until about 1am before calling it a night.

Johor Day Trip Again

*This is gonna be a picture blog :P*

On a fine Wednesday morning, off I go again with another colleague to Johor for work purposes.


Pretty pretty cloud.


Getting kinda hazy along the way.


Guess where is this? :P


On the way back. Johor seems to have a place called Kong Kong, sounds really weird to me.


The North South Highway stretch between KL and JB is very boring. Along the way it's trees, trees, and more trees.


Finally reached Klang Valley... nice nice sunset.


My dinner with my buddy at the Korean restaurant. This is my hot stone bowl rice (it came with everything separated, you'll have to mix them all together).


A complimentary Korean pancake from the owner.

The end.

Exhausted

Just came back from a day trip to JB (again!). Went to do some presentation and demo for another potential customer. Luckily my sales colleague is the one driving and not me, otherwise I won't even have energy to make this post.

Met up with my buddy and went for the Korean restaurant (mentioned in on of the previous post) for dinner after I came back to KL. This time I tried the rice in hot stone bowl. Nice! ^_^

More pictures probably tomorrow... now I just wanna take a shower and hit the sack :P

Nite!

Lunch Trip

On a sunny Saturday noon, I meet up with a bunch of ex colleagues for lunch.


On the way, see the hills on the horizon?


If you managed to see this mosque at a T-junction, you're on the right track. Make sure you do a left at this junction.


Err... what is this place? Farm? Construction site? I thought we're having lunch?


Ahh, actually it's the famous beggar chicken place in Bukit Jugra.


We're early I guess... reached there right on the time when they starts operating (1pm).


The menu. As you can see, things are not really something you would consider cheap. :P


This is the oh-so-famous beggar chicken. The sauce according to my friends tastes a little like bakuteh, probably due to the herbs used. I find the sauce a tad too salty. Meat is ok, tender and juicy.


Traditional rice, which is glutinous rice with mushrooms and dried oysters etc. Very nicely compacted. A word of caution, this stuff is yummy and VERY filling.


Beggar pork leg. Soft and tender meat covered in juicy fatty skin. Reminds me of bakuteh. Haha.


Traditional fish. This dish is quite interesting as they dig out the flesh from the fish while retaining the skin. Then the flesh is mashed and made into fish paste then filled back into the fish. Too bad the one that we had smells fishy, kinda spoiled the taste a little.

Overall I love the rice the most. Followed by the pork and the chicken. The fish, probably because of the fishy smell, is not something I fancy. Oh we also ordered a pig stomach soup, which by the time it came, I've forgotten to take pictures. But you'll get the idea :P

Pricing wise, it's considered expensive to me as this is pretty much the price of KL. I guess it could be due to the tedious task required to prepare the dishes. Of course no harm trying it once in a while, especially if you haven't tried before, but definitely not some place you'd go frequently unless you stay in Banting or somewhere nearby. It takes about close to an hour to get there just from Klang.

Oh and last but not least, make sure you order in advance of about 2 days if you do plan to have a visit there. When the bill came, behind there's even a URL address and a map of how to get there. The website will display the number to call, the operating hours, as well as some pictures.

*Disclaimer: this is not a PPP :P *

在一个风和日丽的星期六早晨

我来到了这个地方:






哈哈,不是蛀牙啦,不过是好久没给医生检查牙齿,所以就来这儿给医生洗洗牙。医生说我该较常检查牙齿,我点头说是。(上一次检查已是超过两年前的事 :P )



Later that day, went to have beggar chicken at Bukit Jugra. Will post it up next.


Sian... next week is presentation week for me... 4 out of 5 days have to do presentation and demo *faints*
