food..for the soul...yummylicious

.."i am not a glutton but just an explorer of foods"

is not just bout eatin..placin the food into your much..

over the years much appreciation is givin to food *applause*

and people actually take their time and effort to have the best presentation of the food that they cook..we are all fine art lovers..and we love what we see..and some food can be presented so pretty..much thoughts and creativity has put into it...

jus like the ones below:-

just some snapshots i took over the Foodshow in Hong Kong recently last month..

and desserts are just like "love at first sight" meltin into your mouth especially the hot fudge mousse cakes..melts i the mouth and warms the heart..

...the best ever hot fudge mousse cake..#1..Mortons steakhouse..all over the world...this one was in Hong Kong, Sheraton hotel,Tsim Tsa Tsui



..too far..we have a nearer option..Bon Ton,#8 Jln Conlay..highly recommended especially you have a bad day at work..or just need somethin soothin, comfortin...there is nuthin like unwind the day and have a piece of mud cake...go try it out..it works its charm on me and so of my friends...*thumbs up*

the knot*

THE KNOT**

it seems that many people are actually headin towards the "next phase in life"..

the big word with loads of commitment, a whole new world of "MARRIED"..

of course is such a great occasion especially when you see friends getting married to their high school sweetheart..aww so sweet..and also all the weddin dinner that you go to...when they show the slides,pictures of the couples, the courtin moments..just melt your heart away(ok,perhaps not all think so..but i do..) and you wish you too get a good weddin, good organizers for your wedding to do all that heart meltin stuffs..and of course a great hubby that you will be spending the next 365 days and more to come of the 365 days a year..girl will always be girls...

and the great wicked evil part is the part where the brides chi muis play the tricks and seek the bridgeroom to do all sorts of challenges and craziest things before gettin wed to the bride..aint that easy man guys..so be prepared..and good tip: bring along good buddies that will help ya out and sharedthe misery that you faces thru..you never know what you bout to face..not sure?

well..

#01 if you hate durian, they will probably ask you to eat some..ewwws...especially those who cant take the smell..

#02 bread spread with different ingredient..of the sweet,sour,bitter,spicy..Spicy like wasabi, bitter like watermelon seeds.

#03 figurin out what is written on each disposable underwear...and each person wears on one of it with an alphabet to it and rearrange..and doin the mississippi butt..

#04 sing out of your long a love song...so make sure you know at least one to be sang on your big day..

..and of course and worst and far far worst than these listed..

now you know that girls are capable of being evil...*winks*

SURPRISE!!OMG!

SURPRISE!

...did quite expect much for this year's bday after all i am turnin quarter of a century..nothing much to shout about...but that wasnt really the case..read on..

weeks ago have already planned to attend a friend's wedding (one of Merv's good friend actually)..so plan went on as usual.

got off work early..went home, showered,changed and waited for Merv to pick me up for jane's wedding dinner..(ok..more like he came and waited for me..girls will always be girls..)

went for the dinner downtown on a friday nite..to our surprise the traffic flow was awesome..smooth all the way..durin the drive down to the dinner, merv mention to me that "dear we might leave early from the dinner.." "huh?" puzzled me and as usual started askin the whys..

apparently Merv's friend Edmond workin in Spore for the last few years was back in town and wanted to meet up since they havent meet in ages..and Edmond insisted they should meet up tonight..Edmond-friend of Merv from high school..hmmph..well i didnt suspected much and believed Merv..although was alil surprise with the fact of this "sudden and unforeseen meet up"..

Congrats Jane!

so we left dinner bout 10 pm and headed off to Alexis Bangsar..the place to meet Edmond..i think they just open the new Alexis in BSC(probably few months back...) pretty awesome set up..

well we went around BSC tryin to look for the place..found!1st floor..at the end corner..as we entered in Alexis, the waiter approached us "Reservations under Elzabeth?"..gave the funny look at Merv..hmmphh..

aww...man...and as i walk further down the restaurant, i saw all the familiar faces..friends from all places, the high school mates, uni mates, leo members..and SURPRISE SURPRISE...least expected this..was really sweet..and the sweetness adds on when they brought out the awesome cake..omigosh, was the most beautiful cake i ever had..and it looks so much like a notebook that i couldnt barely lay my hands on it, to cut em and eat it...but a cake still a cake..it has to be eaten *sobbs*..thanks to Allan & Nigel from Just Heavenly..if you want awesome lookin
yummy-licious cake..go and look for them Lot 1.05 & 1.06,Ground Floor,Epicure,1,Jalan Medan Setia 1,D.Heights..

...was really really sweet..and i bursted in tears..didnt expect this..and wouldn't have had happen if it was for the 2 partners in crime..my boyfriend and my best buddy..Merv + Beth..thanks a lot!!was really sweet and you both really made the day..and of course those who came...THANKS!!you guys were born-natural actors and actresses!

..esp Jason (whose car plat no 8682 my date of birth..calls me up as early at 8 am to chat but never wished me happy bday and i really thought he forgotten bout my bday, what a god bro!)

Jessie who text me to ask me out on Sat for lunch..bday lunch but never wish me...despite the bday being today!..but i know deep down in each of you (those who were present), you guys do cherish me..love me for who i am..and being my very dear friends for all these years...XOXOX...

Merv~the guy behind all these surprises, surprises.the guy behind all great things in life well at least in mine..and i guess i am very lucky and blessed this birthday with Merv being in my life..to complete the not-so complete me...."layan me despite how silly at times i can be"..continue to amaze and put me on that lil cloud nine..sorry people this one is taken.*winks*

quarter of a century

i know..i know those who have been readin my blogs is probably gonna murder me alive..
and i should be shot dead by now as i went on the disappearing act from my blog..havent really been able to update my blog frequently..*sorry people*

been super duper extremely caught up with work and all the other activities along the way..

well whats with the title of quarter of a century you probably wonder..well as of to date 8 june 2007..i am officially a quarter of a century old..*so proud to be*..yea not that young anymore despite me being all that hyper active and bouncin here and there like gummy bear *winks*

well nothing is gonna change the me..despite being older..

hmmph..celebratin 25 years of me..lets see what life has been and accomplish so far..

#01 still on my job..not the best but doing alright..earning relatively above the income bracket of those my age..so pretty proud of that..
#02 financially sustainin myself and my lifestyle..
#03 still in my dreams of pursuing my very paper cafe shop..work in progress
#04 initiated kids prog"sharin hearts,sharin hopes" which focus on kids welfare..very fulfillin mission..
#05 bought my very own car..;)
#06 still contributin to the community..still actively involved with Leo despite being in Leo for 10 years..thats a decade of service!
#07 keepin a better relationship with family members..people out there..family is still the closest to the heart..cherish them!
#08 meet the love of my life.. (i think and hope) who continuously compromisin, givin in to me, acceptin the difficult + stubborn me (never find anyone who "layan" me as much as he do)..amazes me at times the energy and patience he got there *thumbs up*
#09 still maintaining great friendship with the buddies from school..some even from kindergarden years..believe it or not...

i guess i would say i have achieve quite a lot for myself over the last few years... and the journey has only just begun...more to come..

..over the years many ups and downs has come and go..but i guess that as long as you hold true and strong to your values and your ground, nothing is impossible..just got to continue to believe and reach for your dreams..dreams are made of energy not imaginations!..i guess i am still the same person i was the year before, 5 years ago..same ole me..just perhaps a lil more taller, wider..wiser and a lil more tune down..

so yea..thats me...and stay tune and i promise i will and shall add in more new post ups in a week times...

*hugs*
