Meronggeng KayEll di Hari Thaipusam

Cuti-cuti Malaysia. Ye lah. Time cuti ni eloklah jejalan makan angin. Destinasi : Kuala Lumpur. Hahah. Dah lama x jalan-jalan kat 'kampung' aku ni. Yelah. Since bawak keta setiap hari g keje, slalu jejalan area Damansara je. Asek One Utama jadi port lepak.

By the way, aku dah pindah balik ke umah KL. Rasa macam membazir sangat duduk kat Sungai Buluh dengan minyak and tol plus parking. Adeh. So beralihler umah KL balik. Rindu plak duduk umah Sungai Buluh. Miss my stepmom, my dad and my dearest sister, Balqis. Muah,lap u. BTW, Aishah Balqis sekarang kena chickenpox. Sian. Walaupon demam camtu but still hyper. Maintain.


Destinasi pertama, gym baru Fitness First kat Avenue K. Gym kat Maxis Center tu dah pindah sini. BTW, sape sangka depan KLCC ade bangunan hantu which is Avenue K. Kosong benar building ni. I think it was supposed to be a high end shopping centre but what it's ended being now? Empty. Even kat ground floor empty. Even medan MARA lagi meriah. Ahaks. Pelik gak kawasan strategik, sebelah lrt tapi xleh hidup. Maybe kawasan bekas kubur kot. Ahaks. Balik to the gym baru ni, best gak. Locker dia guna auto flash card system. X macam cawangan lain yang guna kunci biasa. Other than that, pretty much the same. Viwe much more better la and i think redup sikit banding kat Maxis Tower yang terang semacam. Sauna pon luas beb. Love it!

Pastu solat kat surau KLCC, singgah lintas je kat sini. Pelik tengok KFC kat KLCC close shop. Xleh hidup ke? To think situlah tempat aku confess aku suka kat ex aku. Kitaorang tutup buku kisah 'cinta aku', KFC pon aparently close business meh? hahah. Then kitaorg decide jalan g Bukit Bintang plak. Jalan kaki jek lalu area Aquaria.

Petronas and Maxis bergabung and made a perfect picture. Except for tiang lampu sebatang. :P


Pastu sampai ler kami kat Pavillon. Lama gak xmai sini. My ex tak berapa suka area sini so aku lepas rindu g sini lak. Hahah. So much things has changed. Dah jadi macam area Shibuya lak kat area sini. Love it. Depan PAvillon ade shopping centre baru. Fahrenheit88. X masuk pon. Tengok StarHill pon tengah renovate. Kat depan dia ade weird structure macam like i said, kat Tokyo. Dengan sakura jadi theme Chinese New Year kat Pavillon, memang persis aku ade kat Jepon. Tu tak campur lagi dengan ramai giler Asian faces. Arigato Mr. Roboto!! ahaks

Sakura tiruan kat Pavillon. Nice ek :)



Begambor dengan pari-pari sakura, Mr Rabbit Chong. GongXiFaCai :P

Afterwards, g LowYat. Tempat wajib g kalo singgah BB. Tengok-tengok henset, beli cover enset, usha gadget baru. Dah abes, lapor lak. Beli donut glazed kat Dunkin Donuts. Singgit jek. Sedap lak tu.

Then menapak balik g KLCC and g kat keta. Decide dinner kat Kampung Baru. By the way, ex aku x suka gak makn kat Kampung Baru ni. So being my usual self, aku balik sini with a vengeance. Lama wor x makan sini. Tempat lepak aku dari kecik. Huhu. Miss u so damn much Kg Baru rats. Heheh. Pelepas rindu makan western kat HR Steak HOuse. I had the cowboy chicken chop. Nyum,nyum. Cheap summore. Cuma tu lah, penuh ya amat. Berebut gak tempat memasing. But this what makes Kampung Baru meriah.


Restoran ni penuh ngan manusia. Mana taknya. Sedap and berbaloi-baloi. Murahkan rezeki tuan punya restoran ni :)

Makan di sebalik great backdrop.

Itu ajelah cerita jejalan aku time Thaipusam. It was a nice escape. Before this if want to go to these places with my ex, mesti no-no. Who knew jodoh aku ngan my 'kampung'-Kuala Lumpur lagi panjang. Heheh

ps: Have something to say but don't know how to say it.

TerTRONton LeBASI....still love it!!

Harini ari Rabu. Esok ari Khamis. Khamis yang spesel coz raya. Raya SiamPusam.Maka dengar mohor-mohor besar, esok adelah cuti. Yahuu!
So aku suka bebenor kalo eve cuti ni. Suka merayap. Destinasi? Mid Valley. Aktiviti, Wayang!
Sampai sana pelik lak tengok Mid Valey yang banyak parking kosong. Aku ni allergik sikit kalo orang ngajak g Mid Valey ni. Trauma ngan masalah parking. Orang ramai sangat. Tapi untung ler malam weekday walaupon besok cuti, orang x ramai kat sini.

Sampai sini, beratoq ler nak beli tiket. Dunno nak beli cite ape. Wa cakap sama lu sume cite boring. Ntah ngape banyak cite antu melayu, jepon, thai. Cite mat saleh lak cite boring like cite The Rock belakon. Aiya. Cite camtu layan kat Cinemax leh la. Kat cinema cite camtu mintak maap. So out of opttion, beli lah tiket cite Tron. 2D nyer. 3D xde showing. Tapi walaupon cite lama tapi ntah ngape tiket dijual ngan harga RM12 banding cite baru lain yang mostly RM10.

Dah beli tiket, sesi makan pulak. Walaupon lapar, aku benar-benar xde selera. Slalunya kalo malam aku amat berselera nak pekena KG Baru la, McD la. Tapi akhir-akhir ni, selera berkurang. So aku beli set nasi+ayam+sayur. yang tu je dah RM6 weyh. Meluat aku makan kat foodcourt Mid Valley. Mahal and x sedap. Dengan lidah yang x sensation ni, aku rasa macam makan kapas lak.Hahah.

So afterward, masuk ler kami wayang. Tapi sempat gik crash hall lain. First, tersalah masuk hall tayang cite tamil.Hahah. Second kami crash hall cite Khurafat. Tengah scene umah kampung ke hape. Dengarnya full house benar cite ni. Melayu sekarang makin bijak. Asek layan cite hantu and cite lawak budus jek. Uweek.

'Princess' Disney paling hot :P

So kami tengok ler cite Tron ni. Mantap giler walaupon jalan cite a bit shaky cara penceritaannya. Sound effect and grafik cun habes. Meletop!! Awek sume pakai baju tight leather. Noty,noty! But what amazed me was how they constructed a character of the young Jeff Bridges. SO realistic and it looked just like him when he was a young actor back then. Tapi malangnya, my throat kacau mood movie aku. Ntah ngape, bertambah susah lak rasanya nak bernafas and terbatuk2. Aishh.

ps: Arini aku dapat tau berita pasal keje. All i can say is bertambah ler cabaran and beban keje nih. Ya Allah, kuatkan semangat. Adekah berbaloi dengan gaji ini? Rasulullah menggalak umatnya bersyukur so aku x kisah kot. Huhu

New Update : I am Getting Fatter! YIKES!!

Hello!! Arini update aku pasal bende tak best! Aku makin MOK!!!

Huaaa.. T_T

Shut up tak shut up dah dekat 9 bulan aku join Fitness First gym. And within that period, aku takde plak diet sangat. Setakat puasa sekali sekala, aku still maintain what i eat. Makan lewat malam, skip breakfast, eat heavy lunch. This has been unhealthy to any dietitian but what to do? I have a nafsu like an ular sawa. Hoho. HOwever, i've been going to the gym for at least three times a week and burning for about 1000calories per visit. I admit this has been helpful in order for me to maintain and lose weight. Check this out. My starting weight 7 months ago was 76 and my best weight i was 65 kg.

But today, aku tersedar something. After been skipping gym for over a month and been eating like a pig lately. Adergkhh. HArini g ler lepak-lepak with friends time lunch. Ingat nak g Kenny Rogers yang ade offer with sume pakai baju merah with exception of me. Tengok-tengok orang ramai gilos sampai beratuq kat luaq. Hampeh. So kitaorg makan ler kat restoran melayu nearby.

After masing-masing puas abes makan, sesi begambor plak. But look at the pic below!



Muahhahaha. Aku dah boroi. Cam dah kawen beranak 3 pon ade. Current weight : 74 KG!!! I guess since duk rumah Sungai Buluh sungguh malas g gym. Makanan lak sentiasa tersedia dimasak oleh my mum compared ngan duk umah KL yang masing2 makan tapau sendiri. So aku nak tanam azam tahun baru lak. Nak loose weight. Target, 60 kg!!! Insyaallah. Sambil berdiet, sambil berjimat, sambil getting healthier. Sape mau join angkat tangan tujuh, tujuh lagi! Kueng,kueng,kueng ~~

Iftar : Reunion with member CS223 Ramadan 2010 :)

Another Iftar, another recap post!!

Just a little recap for the past week, this certainly was one of the highlight. Well, for several obvious reason. First, i organized this little get-together from A to Z with some help from my friends as well. Secondly, i miss my friends after hadn't seen them in quite a while.

Planning this was quite a challenge. Nak headcount and kumpul orang satu hal, nak carik the spot berbuka was another. Overall, looking back it was a success coz everybody seems happy.Initially i had several choices. With last year makan Kenny Roger's, I thought why not tukar selera and go for Ramadan buffet this time. Enough with fast food and all. To me, bulan Ramadan makan fast sungguh x nikmat. So top choices were


Restoran Kunang-kunang, Gombak
-Very famous among KL folks. About rm50 per head.Actually aku konfius this restoran dengan restoran Tupai-Tupai kat Dewan Bahasa KL tu.Ahaks. Environment pon cambest. Ala pondok2 kampung.Nice!

Restoran Bora Ombak, Ampang
- Recommended by a friend. She went there several days prior. She said the place was nicely decorated with Bali Garden motives.I like the place instantly after read it had huge surau. RM 47++ per head.

Resoran Happy Four Season, Wangsa Maju
- This was a place I discovered myself after several hardwork from googling.HAd mixed feelings about this joint regarding their halal status and its Malayness. Not that i have anything against non-malay cooking malay food but authenticity if given option, one must not ignore.To my relief, i went to survey the place prior and saw a huge Halal sign outside. Alhamdulillah. Plus, only RM29.90 per head.
SO then my friend who was assisting me with creating the FB invite started to ask confirmity about the place, i knew i had to decide the lucky option and FAST!
Then i thought how some of my friends might had relunctlancy with paying over RM50 for mediaocre buffet,hence i went for the cheapest joint, Happy 4 Season. Although i thought this was more like a bold choice. i never regret those decision. However by this time only about 9 people had confirmed to come out of around 25 out of us. OK la.

So then the day finally arrived. However, i was running with cold time tu. Huhu. Gagahkan diri jugak la. I had booked the place for 12 people the day before so that off-day morning, me and my friend went shopping kat Jalan TAR.
Pikir time tu, that was the only time aku boleh jalan-jalan soping kat sana. ANy later dat I would be busy or Jln TAR itself would be swamped with people. Not my scene la so better shop early. Time tu jalan-jalan, beli la baju Melayu sepasang with butang baju. Sampin x beli lagi. What colour? Nanti i'll surpise le you guys. Clearly it is not my usual colour that i like
but somehow, i dare myself to buy it. With a matching sampin,
I think i can look like a handsome chap for once.Hihi.My friend on the other hand borong sampai 4,5 pasang baju for the whole family. Alangkah baiknya belanja family baju :)

Then kul 6.30, kitaorg kumpul kat restoran tu. By that time, Dila,Apit and wife already there. Thankfully we were assigned to the best table of the restaurant in the Summer section. Close to everything yet enough distance away from the grill smoke, outdoor and had a picture of a pristine beach to match. Not cluttered like inside the Spring section or upstairs in the Winter and Fall section. Even perasan got extra table assigned kat sebelah meja buffet which
terlampau menyemak if you ask me.

By 7.15, all of us had arrived with the exception of Latif and his girlfriend.Allahuakbar2x. Azan sudah. Sebelum tu aku dah amek pastries which were nice. Love the durian cream puff and mango hybrid cake. I dunno what the name was but it had a layer of cake and a mango jelly on top layer. NICE!!
By this time pon sume orang dah berebut amek sate and roast lamb. The line was long, the faces were anxious and i was hungry. No way i was gonna lined up for that. Amek nasik ler. The lauk were okay. Not spicy. Loved the shrimps. Manis :) And sedar yang ayam madu restoran ni dagingnya warna gelap. I seriously thought they were lamb tu but to my surprise, chiken only. Taste was okay regardless.
My friends loved the roast lamb. I gave a few pieces a try as well. Very nicely crisped to perfection.Could not eat much after my friends scared me by said if you feel pening, it's affecting your blood pressure. Tapi rasanya that headache from my cold but why take chances to be dead kan.Hahah.


Cuma a few drawbacks i need to highlight.
-Why lar xde air panas like tea or coffee.Even xde air suam. Air sejuk yang ade pon x sejuk mana once dia refill. Air apa tu pon saya x tau. Mcm air teh ais.
-surau a bit messy upstairs at the 3rd floor. I realized it was also the floor for the staff hostel with mattress and towels lying around.
-Ayam x berapa segar except for ayam masak merah tu. Sate also not very nice. Rasa macam x properly marinated.Or was it my stuffed nose from the cold.
-Kenape 'gerai' roti canai durian lepas 30 minit lepas berbuka baru nak bukak and berasap?

Few of the good.
-Friendly staff.
-Affordable ad accessable.
-Ample parking available.
-Nice spread of sweets and pastries.
-The shrimps!

Current mood : Sleepy coz writing this, about to go to bed.

Hari Merdeka Malang Running with the Damn Cold

Another sore throat, another new post! Hukhuk

Here i am feeling unwell after carefully planned my schedule leading to Hari Raya. I swore to God if anything like this happen, i would just walk it out je coz i was not about to walk over my whole plan just because of some sissy sickness. Haha. However, still hate 'em,the fever. Ceh, macam bahasa novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird' plak. Heheh. Now running with sore throat that makes my voice a bit sexier and runny nose yg kacau my taste sensation. Argkhhh. Petang ni lak ada reunion ngan budak AI dulu. Sedihnya.Dah lama aku plan uruskan bende ni tengok2 jadi camni x berapa nak excite ler plak nak g.But still pegi lah kan. Once a year.

Tengahari ni jugak dah plan nak g jalan-jalan soping kat KL ngan member. So haruslah gagahkan diri jugak gi. To think of it, memang xde masa lain dah nak soping2 unless after work. Tapi sape rajen nak soping after berbuka ni? Not me! Dah ler Jalan TAR mlm2 sesak ya amat. No way ler. Aku pon dah terikut cakap awek yang x suka crowd yang bersesak panas2 macam tu. To think of it aku pon x suka situation sesak camtu. Ingat lagi g sana with my ex tgh2 malam. Aku sesak nafas sampai nak balik. Not my kind of crowd la. Kitaorg pon xde nak beli apa so what a waste.Yelah, nak stop by kat depan booth tuk pilih barang pon xde ruang. Tapi itu cite lama. So i am not about to go to Jalan TAR again time malam and be as it may, without my girlfriend. Kang kena snatch ke, kena tolak2 in the crowd ke, and God forbid kena raba2, kesian my Sayang lak.Huhu.

So hopefully, all the plans goes smoothly today. Look forward to each of the activities. Esok sampai Jumaat plak aku ade training kat Bukit Jalil. Also been looking forward to it. Harap2 demam dah jebah by tomorrow coz from what i heard, the training centre tu cold giler.GRRRRR. Teruklah aku yang demam ni.Huhuhu

Current mood : Berggg....Struggling demam dalam bulan puasa is the worst :(

Wednesday and Thursday Recap

Another weekend, another post!

It's been a while since my last post.
Not because nothing much happened but i just couldn't find the interest to write.
Maybe boredom took over my body so i was hanging out at my friend's place than spending time on my own.
Could not bare sitting at my own cubicle alone.Huhu.
So i thought i should do few recaps while i wasn't posting several days ago


Wednesday

Sembang-sembang ler ngan my colleague ni. He's moving to a new company it seems. And he'll b leaving us next month.
He will leave a week before the starting month of October where he will be working in the new place from then on.
Tanya lah dia what he will be doing during a week before he starts the new job. He said he didn't know yet. Maybe jalan-jalan.
MMM. Which reminds me of the week before i start my job kat Scope.

Then aku bukak cite penah g Krabi. He said he went there and the place for him wasn't nice compared to the islands we have here in Malaysia.Hahah. We share something in common apparently.
He said he went there backpacking all the way from Penang by bus.
Quite an adventurous and may i say ambitious trip to backpack in a non-english speaking land.
He went for 9-10 days along with his wife tapi bajet sama ngan what i've spent kat Krabi for 4 days only.
Dahla dapat g Phuket, Phra Nang, Krabi and few other places as well.
Aku plak dapat g Krabi jek. Itupon bandar Ao- Nang kat Krabi onli.
Lenkali nak backpack la instead of flying. Airfare could be spent on other things more beneficial it seems.
Terpikir lak a few laces in mind for bacpacking

Indonesia : Bali, Lombok and etc
Thailand : Phuket,Bangkok, Koh Samui,etc
China : Beijing, Taijin and Shanghai
Korea : Seoul and Jeju

Better start saving now for my first backpack trip.

Thursday

On this day, berbuka ngan member. Actually memang time ni xtau lagi mana port nak buka. One of my friend nak makan fastfood.
Now i have nothing against fast foof tapi x rasa semangat Ramadan kalo makan Kenny Rogers', KFC sume tu.
Makan pon just nak kasi kenyang tapi nikmat Ramadan x terasa makan fast food.
Ntahla. Selera completely bertukar sekarang ni time bulan puasa.
Orang kata time ni lah kita jalan-alan carik makan. HIk-hik. Maybe just me apparently.Last2 kitaorg decide g Kampung Baru.
Kalo decide Kg. Baru tu boleh agakler sapa punya decision. Aku ler..Hakhak.So we all randezvous kat LRT Taman Jaya. Gerak kul 6 so memang sesak la coz peak hour. M friends ang slalu sok nek keta macam kejutan budaya plak padahal aku ilek je coz dah biasa hari2 naik LRT bersesak.Terus bad mood depa2 tuh. X rock langsung. Ahaks!

Sampai Kg. Baru the streets were lively ngan bazar ramadan. memang first time g bazar sini. SUrpirisingl walaupon in the middle ok KL, harga still standed and some even cheaper. I would say Shah Alam remains the costliest when it comes to Bazar Ramadan that i've been to.Sampai sana x decide lagi nak makan kat joint mana. Aku in the mood for malay food as always. Member2 aku nak mkan western. So mengalah ler. G la restoran koboi tuh. By the time we got there the place was almost full with only several tables available. Good thing we came like 20 minutes earl. AFter placed our order, i was in the mood tuk jalan2 kat Bazar. Yelah.Member2 bad mood so nak g tempat meriah sikit.Jalan2 belilah several kuih.

Sampai2 our order still x sampai while time berbuka lagi 5 minutes.DAh nak masuk air baru samapi but food still x sampai. So kitaorg pekena air dulu with complimentary kurma.After several minutes after buka barulah order kami sampai. Aku order Chicken Chop Cowboy. Sedap2.Surprisingly still within my RM10 bajet. Memang puas!!

Current Mood : Terinigin sangat g gym balik. Badan rasa macam x pejal dah. Ahahks!

Mingguan Ramadan

Another Monday, another new post

It’s freakin’ Monday. NO!! Rasa macam the weekend aritu passing by like a bullet train. Nothing much happened during weekend. Could’t not even went online. Ngan puasa ni, nak g gym pon pk banyak kali. Last-last x pergi.

So on Saturday just duk umah and wat marathon. Tapi marathon ni x baker lemak lor. Marathon tengok tv series. Aku balun laptop adik aku and watched Grey’s Anatomy, Glee and a few movies in there. Also took time g Tesco. Lama benar x jejak kaki kat Tesco Ampang ni. Lately slalu g Carrefour or Jusco je but since bajet kering, Tesco was the better option walaupon jauh sikit. Ok ler. Beli taters, ayam sekoq, nugget, fries, etc..Total,RM 25 only. I am so good with shopping groceries coz it’s totally within my budget. Only took goods yang tgh sale. Sebotol cili sos Life mid-size only 2.35 so I grabbed 2. Ramly burger patties only 2.95 so I took one. Beli ikan keli 5 ekor baru 3.50. OMG.. Slalu beli lauk ikan keli sekor je dah 3 ringgit…Murahnya Tesco. After balik, goring ikan keli masak sambal cili api.. Waa. My favourite tu. Masak 5 ekor tu and simpan lauk tu wat stok for 5 days.HAha.. Operasi saving benar nih.

Sunday, nothing much either. Tibe-tibe my friend ajak klua. Katanya nak g Jalan TAR. So I went. Jalan TAR xde apa yang berubah. Same like last year. Baju raya, kuih raya (amat kurang berbanding orang jual baju). Crowd pon x ramai sangat. Maybe orang lagi prefer g malam. Not me la. G malam gamaknya kena tolak-tolak, dalam hati sumpah seranah. Not a good mood in Ramadan. Ada hikmah jugak malam-malam disunatkan terawih. Heheh. After stayed there for an hour, started to feel bored tengok kain. Huhuh. Nak cuci mata tengok makanan, aiyo, x banyak pulak stall makan2 kat Jalan TAR. And then my friend ajak g Damansara. Maybe dia dah lama x g sana. Saya x kisah sangat ler. Asalkan x klua duit. HAkhak.

So sampai Damansara after a few minutes later. Jalan2 carik port berbuka, aish sume ffully booked. So we decided tuk grab a few light munch kat Ikea jek. Lama x merasa karipap and hotdog Ikea. Not a bad buka puasa la. After solat maghrib, baru kami carik port dinner. Time nip on still xleh nak decide. Last2 just settle kat Kenny Rogers. Aiyo. Muak ler. Bertambah kuat la my newfound theory yang my stomach is getting smaller coz can’t fit so much amount of food mcm dulu. HUHU.After that, went back.

From that outing, not so bad. At least I have found where to shop for my Raya. Clearly, I much more prefer to shop kat damansara instead of Jalan TAR. HAha. Looks like same case like last year la. G jalan TAR x beli ape, tengok2 shop kat Ikano. HMMM..

Current Mood: Desperately seeking any task to do

Bukit Tabur Melawati

Hi again.

Another grab from my archive of life. A climb in Bukit Tabur. It is located in Taman Melawati. Seriously, this place actually about 5 km from my home but i never realized this place existed till now. I thought all this time the hills were just,well hills. Nothing special. But boy, i thought wrong.

Prior to the day of climb, we were told to pack up few things to be brought along.

Among in the list were towel,food,drink,shoes, shorts for swimming.

And the day finally arrived. We arrived in separate groups. We (me, ayun, apit and wazir) were the first one there. Actually i stayed at Ayun's place during the night before to ease with the rendezvous. Hence, we were the earliest ones there and had to wait abt 15 minutes for the rest of the other groups. After all of the packs arrived, we proceeded to the Bukit Tabur hillside.

we noticed that there were a lot of cars parked there. At that time it was about 7.30 am. Quite late for a climb so finding a parking spot was a hassle. But we managed even though there were about 5 cars among ourselves. Then, we meet up,said a few prayer and then warmed up. So the climb began around 8. We were headed by a guy (ayun's friend but forgot the name already since it's been 7 months) who showed us 'where to','what's that' and to complain 'what the fuck!' to as well..hahah.

post continues to part 2
