Ice Cream!

Nuffnang's ad showed me the New Zealand Natural ice cream promo! On every 30th of the month, you can purchased their ice cream for 30% off!

Here is their promo link: New Zealand Natural 30:30 Promo!

They don't have much places to get them though. But I tried their ice cream. It is delicious (then again, I love ice creams but I am certain it wasn't my love for ice cream that enjoyed their ice cream lol).

If anyone is by chance nearby their location, ought to try! Make sure not to forget to buy me a pack too!

I just went to pack my lunch… vegetarian day today. I wonder why my vegetarian colleague wants the rest of u to accompany him to eat vegetarian once a week. Does he get commission or something? Anyhow, I have gotten a tad bored of vegetarian really. The food there have drop in quality because it is either too salty or too bland and I think she have added more MSG to her cooking because I feel thirsty each time I pack vegetarian from that shop. But given no choice because I do not have a car of my own and when my other colleagues are ok with vegetarian, I have to follow them.

So I bought a bottle of Lime Sour Plum drink from there as well. With the hot day and the thirst this would be a great thirst quencher. As I drank to relieve my thirst, Gaaaaah! The drink is too sweet! So much thirst quenching, more like diabetic gaining.

Sitting here now waiting for time to pass by so that I can go home; yes I am anticipating to head home. Be flying off to Singapore tonight to meet my fiancé ^_^. Be happy to see him again. This time round I will get Sushi! Ala-carte sushi; yummy… fresh~

Will post the pictures when I get hold of them when I am there. Stay tune~

Bubba Gump Outing

Went to Sunway Pyramid today with my friends and decided to have Bubba Gump instead of having sushi all the time. Sushi Zanmai in Sunway Pyramid have dropped in standards in my opinion.

Anyway, the place is really nice; ambience is like being in a seafood restaurant by the seashore. Of course that is my opinion. They have Forrest Gump movie playing on repeat. Got to love that movie, it is so warming yet funny and sweet.
The food there is delicious (other than it being a slight too salty) but the whole presentation of the food is nicely done. The servers are all very friendly too. They are very smiley and talkative. Our table’s server is Alda from Indonesia. Really cute girl and her smiles are very sweet. I should have taken a picture of her.

I had their “Salmon and Veggie Skillet” which was really an adventure for my taste buds. The taste of the meal is slightly sour and with that it doesn’t make the whole meal taste like you have had enough after a few bites.

Salmon and Veggie Skillet

My friend had the “Run Across America Sampler” appetizer. A whole bundle of shrimps cooked in different ways with nachos and dip. Oh the Dip for the nachos was yummy! I don’t know how to word it, but gosh it is like if that was my meal, I believe I can’t enough of that dip.

Run Across America Sampler

My other friend decided to have the “ “I’m Stuffed!” Shrimp” dish. At first when I heard the name and read the description, I though the shrimps would be all fat and stuffed up. When it came, it was all like a meatball wrapped in shrimp. But again this dish was something in my opinion. Cheesy taste was not all too overly cheesy; with the garlic butter it was yummy. Make sure to squeeze the lemon in too, makes the meal give you the cheesy, buttery, garlicky, lemony taste. There were a lot of shrimps! It was surrounded by probably about 8 shrimps.

"I'm Stuffed!" Shrimp

For drinks; I had a “Run Forrest Run” smoothie. Very fruity refreshing yogurt drink (and no I am not saying it is refreshing because it is a hot day and I drank something cold lol). My friend had a “Blueberry Smoothie” which is another yogurt drink that consist of a vanilla yogurt in it and I believe I tasted vanilla more than the rest of the ingredients on this drink. “Frozen Blue Lemon-Ups” was a drink chosen by my other friend; lemony fizzy type of drink with lost of ice in it. The glass lights up too (if you like the glass you can pay an amount to bring it home. Kids would love it)! But on such a hot day we are having now, the lemon and fizzy mixture was absolutely refreshing! Glad I took a sip out of it.

If given a choice, I would go back there again to try out their other dish and this time I have to make sure I get a dessert too. Price for the food was costly in my opinion but that is from someone who is on always on a budget tight attitude lol. But for the portion it was given, I would say it was ok. Seafood is expensive, and they did give quite a big portion, the shrimps are not small by the way. I was filled up till 9pm just now, just eating my own dish and picking on my friends’. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends. Hey you get to watch Forrest Gump while you dine! Great movie! Not to be missed!

Sluggish Streamyx

Streamyx is being sluggish again. Nothing loads up fast anymore.

Click here for the article

They claimed they are doing an upgrade service from 11:00pm 22nd April 2009 (Wednesday) to 6:00am 23rd April 2009 (Thursday) and we will be facing disruption. So today is Friday and why are we still facing problem with the service?

Up to the extend my management got so pissed they send my colleague out at 4:30pm to get P1 Wimax.

Does TM know all their customers are fed up with their constant downtime? They keep saying they are upgrading to serve us better, but yet we never receive any upgrade. All we keep getting is the same slow connection. What is TMnet doing?

Even our neighboring country Singapore gets up to 100mbps. Why is TMnet still running on highest of what 4mbps?

Buck up TMnet! Live up to your Streamyx slogan “Catch up with the fast-moving world of broadband with our exciting packages. Bring the web’s rich multimedia content to life and enjoy that boost in connectivity, only with Streamyx!” Your customers are definitely not bringing any multimedia to life now because the connection is slow and sluggish.

Hot Weather

New layout is up. Guess it is done faster than I expected. Yea… shhhh… I did it while I am in the office because there is nothing to do now.

Today’s weather is hot. Another few days without rain again; guess I am going to bed and drowning in my own sweat again. At this kind of time, I wish I got a bathtub at home. Then I can sleep in my own bathtub lol.
This bathtub is nice too. Now I would love to have such a bathtub lol and look at the shower head... wow. Me likey! Too bad my bathroom isn't big enough for such a thing to be in it. Boo hoo hoo~

I really want to go on a vacation. But I can’t afford it now, because I am still seeking a better opportunity in my job in Singapore. Still need to save money for any expenses that would come my way. I guess I would only be able to go on vacation after my marriage. Oh well, bloggy later. Going to take a break from the computer now.

Layout

Changing my layout. So won't be posting anytime soon now :).

Stupidity Hit Me

The past few days’ weather has been going up and down a lot. It can be hot suddenly, and then rain suddenly. It took me about a week plus to recover from my sickness. Still having coughs now, thank God my fever never return meaning it was just a really mean viral that kept me sick longer than usual. My mom is still sick though, she is still coughing very badly, and purging too. But luckily her appetite is picking up again. So she is eating more now again.

My colleague is sick again. So he claims and is sleeping during working hours yet no one bothers. Even after numerous times of telling him that he is not allowed to sleep during office hours is no use because he is protected by a strong backbone of the management. Teacher’s pet lah~. I made a slight fuss about it just now… Come to think of it, I did a very stupid thing. Should have just ignored it like usual instead of bringing problems to myself. Gosh okay it was really stupid. Me and my big mouth huh?

I don’t understand how the management here can make it so obvious on being bias to certain employees. Why the unfair treatment? Sighs… I really want to get out of this place. I really do not want to be here any longer to be a punching bag or scape goat. I am tired of seeing the unfair treatment and keeping mum about it like everyone else. I know other places would probably have the same too, but this is outrageous! Making it ever so obvious, and yet I the HR is the one who get called not doing the work when I can’t! Given the position but not the authority; I even got lectured for raising my voice at the staffs because I was lecturing them over some things that they won’t listen. I can’t raise my voice… oh okay fine. I have no right to tell them what to do… oh okay fine. I have no authority to question them… oh okay fine. Then why call me HR? Then why insist that I check their attendance? Even when I told the boss, I got no authority to question them of their whereabouts, and they do not report to me… he merely changed topic. How obvious is that?! I am tired… make me the scape goat I don’t care… but don’t make it so obvious.
What am I to do? What am I to say? Can someone advise me?

Sick since Saturday

I have been sick since Saturday afternoon. No idea what virus my brother brought home. He fell sick on Thursday and then by Saturday, my mom and I fell sick too. Eventually my fever started on Sunday at 38˚celcius and by Monday morning it was 38.5˚celcius.

So since my mom was also sick, we both went to see a doctor. Doctor suspects viral infection. And told me if I don’t recover please let him know. I got two days MC because of this… I lost my appetite and in two days time all I had for my meals was bread a glass of warm milk (lost 3kgs to that too. Yippee?). My fever subsided on Monday evening; it was back to normal at 37˚celcius. Yesterday night it went up again. 37.3˚celcius. Not a lot but still abnormal. This morning it is at 37.5˚celcius. I called the doctor but he wasn’t around and I was going to let a sit in for him doctor see me cause she won’t know what is going on. Let us hope he is in tomorrow.

My friends are all telling me could it be Dengue, Chikukoya (however you spell that lol) or something else. Well, let’s hope it is really a normal viral infection. I really don’t want to be knowing it is something else more major than this.

If anyone have ever encounter this kind of symptoms (persistent fever, body ache, headache, coughing, flu, breathless-ness) and it wasn’t anything major or something major, please let me know. Thank you.

Rushing from Room to Restroom

I had a bad night yesterday T.T

My stomach was aching so badly; was exactly the same feeling I had when I was sent to the hospital for my allergy reaction. I was so afraid and kept refreshing my mind to remember if I have eaten any shellfish. But I wasn’t having any swelling and rashes all over my body. My blood wasn’t gushing everywhere to protect itself. I tried to pass motion but there was nothing. As it was already 1am, I went back to bed after the pain subsides as I was in the restroom. As soon as I lie down on my bed, my stomach starts to act up again! I was in pain! I nearly shouted for my mom again worrying it may be something else and then I figured I shall try again to go the restroom. This time, passing motion was a relieved! I was either food poison or the heat got to me? But I haven’t had heaty food… only oily pork rice for lunch that I didn’t manage to finish. But I did realize, ever since I had that KFC last and went through a discomfort ordeal; I can’t eat oily food anymore. Each time I do, I feel like vomiting. Well, I am not sure but today I am definitely not going to go through the same again.

So I thought I could some stuffs on the internet to see about with my situation... and instead I found this interesting site to share with everyone.

As I am surfing the net now, I found that wine is healthy for our cholesterol. It actually increases our HDL.
So the site wrote:

“The presence of bad cholesterol or low density lipo-protein (LDL) is what causes the blockage in the arteries. The presence of good cholesterol or high density lipo-protein (HDL) helps reduce the blockage and cleans the bad cholesterol. Red wine basically helps increase the HDL to help create a balance.” Read More…
So those who have low HDL and High LDL, time to drink wines! But don’t overdo it. Just moderately is fine.

Well, so now we know why they say coffee and sodas namingly caffeine is not good for us. I used to think it was the whole killing us thing but was the caffeine causing us with inadequate rest that creates the problem. Now I am glad I got rid of my coffee needs.
Here it says;

“consuming excessive amounts of caffeine, not only is that damaging in and of it, but you are preventing another healthy behavior, which is getting adequate sleep. Your organs are already working hard enough to try to rid the body of this stimulant, and if you remain up for all or part of the night, the body is in trouble. It will never have the opportunity to refresh the cells and revitalize the organs, which is naturally done when the body is at rest.” Read More…

First meal of the day scores more points that we think it does. Some people actually thinks skipping breakfast will have them lose weight, but it is wrong… eventually skipping breakfast will activate your hunger pangs more and you will eat more later of day then you’re supposed to.
As the source says;

“eating a healthy breakfast can save you from cravings later during the day and can actually assist your effort in losing the excess weight…” Read More…

Before I go on flooding my blog with more of these entries about health and tips lol, there is more to read in this site I found. Healthy Food and Tips Best Food Network Go ahead click it! You know you want to.

Outing at Tenji Sushi

After a long discussion, and cancellations and reservations, I have finally went to Tenji Sushi in Solaris, Mont Kiara. It would have been nice if it was on a Saturday instead of Sunday but because we try to accommodate to everyone’s free time, we ended up going on Sunday.

To my surprised, on a Sunday there is a huge amount of people there as well. I was hoping maybe not so pack place, and the queue was long.
I didn’t managed to take pictures of the counter cause it was so pack filled with people surrounding it and by the time the crowd fades away as time have slowly passes us by to a lazy Monday, the counter of food was almost empty. So I didn’t find a reason to snap any photos of the food over the counters except the Dessert counter.

I took some of the pictures of the food we took to our table. To present you with the freshness of the food in my lousy photographing experience lol.

Western, Eastern and Japanese fusion of foods.

This is my share of my Oysters! Humungous Oysters. Looks good yea? It was yummy! Though one of it was not fresh. But the rest was delicious! Love them Oysters!

The coconuts was yummy too and my friends all had extras cause we kept taking for each other and didn't know lol.

I never say no to Roasted Lamb! Love it with their mint! So tasty! They also have a Bread Pudding (or something lol) dessert.


See the whole roasted lamb.

I tried their teppanyaki, from salmon belly to beef to mushrooms to chicken. Even a lamb cutlet! (only managed to take a picture of a lamb cutlet. The rest was devoured very fast) The teppanyaki was only so-so. The taste somehow don't blend into the meat and mushrooms well enough.

Tested this Shark Fin Dumpling (not Shark Fin's, was flour made lol)

Ooooh the Tiramisu was delicious! I love the taste they blend in. Unlike others who have merely of no taste in them... this was yummy!

The queue for the ice cream was hideous! Everyone was attacking Häagan Daz, took us a few tries to finally willing to queue for it. I didn't managed to take pictures of them ice cream, we ate it all up before I could.

Finally was end of the night, headed to the restroom while I was there too. Wow the Ladies is beautiful, classy looking! So I couldn't resist not taking a picture of it to keep for my memory. I love the color the use. So daring and classy!

The outside ambience was really nice. The music was louder and soothing to listen to them. The windy situation really put me at ease. Too bad we sat inside.

Eventually they don't have much of variety of Japanese food, and once they run out of the items on the tray for example Tempura Prawns, they don't refill the same thing again and put something else and not changing the tag. Their tempura wasn't something I say nice, cause they fry everything in advance and by the time we take them, it is cold and soggy. They should fry upon order be fresher and nicer in my opinion.
Their tea was also bad. They don't have people pouring tea for you. you are required to go get them yourselves and eventually at where I sat, was so far and pack filled with people, we didn't really get the tea much.
Their ambience is nice. I love their setting for everything. Even the whole smokey environment (it is for them to keep the food chilled)
I am told that Jogoya is better. I have yet to try Jogoya. So I can't compare. Though I was expecting much more from Tenji because their normal price is RM88.00 and to my horror it isn't as I expected. If their service is base on RM39.90 which comes up to RM53.30 (after Service Tax and Government Tax that is based on their normal pricing of RM88.00), I say Shogun rocks for that pricing. Anyone can tell me if their service better when there are no promotion such as this going on? Their waiters and waitresses sure smile alot when we talk to them, that is at least one good thing. Their food quality as mentioned above other than those I complimented, the rest are just so-so.

Overall, I rate Tenji Sushi 60%. They can do way better than what I experience there yesterday. Their service definitely drag their scores down. Besides why is their Service Tax and Government Tax base on RM88.00 when the promotion price is RM39.90?

Today, Score 2: Me 0

Woot my favorite Ninjai films have update! I have waited for so long, I have even forgotten about it. Until I clicked an Ad in Pikey’s blog (some banana ninja thing) and remembered I should check on my long time old film Ninjai. I am so exicted now! I can’t wait to go home and watch it. I have missed this film so much.

It is really a huge recommendation to watch it.

Today is April fool’s day. So I got fooled by two person so far. One is foongpc for claiming to be a girl, and the other is Pikey for his MSN personal message “I don’t want a boyfriend, I want a real man”, I thought he was turning gay cause so far I know, he is always straight.

Now let see if there will be more to come around for the day that I will get fooled.
