Fun times with my girl friends

During the Hari Raya, my hubby was away in Ipoh for a client's open house. I however was busy on second day with my close buddies, Vivien, Joyce and my sister Daphne too (Chrissy is now Down Under...........we miss u dearly Chris........dun bully the koalas and kangy's oki =) )

Initiall Daph, Joyce and I were at Zanmai Sushi at One U. We ordered their California rolls and had green tea. We waited half an hour to be seated. Then Viv called up and said she oould not find a car park. So we shot off to Taman Tun to pick Viv from her condo and off to Porto Romanos us gals went!

The food was great and the attention excellent. We were the only ones there initially and so the waiters were attentive and nice to us. After a heavy lunch.....overate we did..........we took some pics around the nice restaurant. They had a nice shell theme and the place was cosy indeed.

I love this gang and always look foward to our birthday n sometimes just bcoz meals that we have together. One musketeer now missing down ounder......sob sob.

A month of weddings......

Finally, I am able to re-enter the blogging world..........been really bz lately. So what has been happening on these recent weekends? Weddings weddings and more weddings....


It was a client and friend's wedding late September at Overseas Restaurant at Jaya One. Long wait for the ceremony.......as is usually the case at all chinese weddings. Then for two consecutive weekends, it was the wedding of the year...... Edwin & Wendy. Edwin is Kenny's cousin. And so it was a bz weekend. First weekend in Sri Petaling for the tea cereomony then off to Bangsar Seafood at nite for the dinner.

The following week, it was off to Genting for Edwin and Wendy's second wedding dinnner. It was fun time getting dressed and making up with my sisters in law Lena and Lindy. I learnt some technices how to apply makeup better. Hehe!

Dinner was late...as usual........with most chinese wedding dinners it is always fashionably one hour late. There were six of us at the table as some did not show up. Later one of the aunty's got bored at the main table decided to join us. Ample food indeed that nite.........Altogether it was fun.

No more weddings till December.........and we will also be celebrating our first anniversary...this December!!!

family times

I have been pretty busy lately. This is one of the rare Saturdays I get to sneak off to the office to clear admin work. I decided to take a break and add in some precious photos taken during some of the family gatherings we had in 2007/2008. Now that I am married I am blessed to have an extended family in my in-laws!! =)

The Flu Season Again

The last two weeks have been challenging for us. My other half came down with a flu and I tried to be the best dutiful wife to take care of him. So it was boiling soups, porridge, herbal teas etc. He was better in about 5 days but is now having a trailing stubborn cough and sinus congestion. I did catch it but I managed to fight it somewhat and am just having a sinus congestion. We have been dutifully using the neti pot to try to clear it off. It has helped and I have not needed to resort to antibiotics to tackle the problem.

On a lighter note, if anyone out there needs a job or have friends that are looking for temporary jobs, do let me know. School leavers and those who are wanting to earn some extra income can apply. The company is conveniently located in PJ. Do drop me a line if anyone is keen ya?

I will be posting more photos here in future..........just got a new camera and I am trying to figure out how to use it.

Our favourite babies

I love going to worship services on Sundays. It is good to be able to have a corporate worship service with friends and be refreshed in God's presence. It is a time we get to serve the Lord on the worship team and move in His presence also!

Besides that, Kenny & I also love to "kidnap" the babies around us. All the cute babies like Rachel, Sarah and Janson. They are all irresistible! Baby Sarah is always sooooooo cute and so cuddly. She doesn't mind being carried and tickled! Baby Rachel is now begining to do some very cute baby talk. She chatters during the service and can be quite amusing when she does that. Kenny loves her to bits!

It is also our prayer n hope that the Lord will soon bless us with our very own bundle of joy! Amen!

THE WONDER OF THE NETI POT

I recently found a great relief for my stubborn and chronic sinus problems. I have been using nasal sprays and every now and then end up on antibiotics when the sinus gets infected.

One day, while chatting with my friend Sharon who is residing in US, she mentioned this neti pot that had helped relief her chronic sinus problems. She told me that she now does not need to go for surgery anymore and that this wonder pot helped her. This set me off on an extensive research on the net and around the pharmacies for this "pot" None of our pharmacies here had the pot. Some had customerse asking about it also. Then another friend mentioned that she saw it on Oprah Winfrey where they interviewed Dr. Oz. And I managed to see it on the net.

How does it work?

The neti pot looks like a little aladdin's lamp. You have to place in it a saline solution made of warm filtered water and some non-iodised salt. Place the spout of the pot in one nostril and tilt your head. Amazingly you will find the saline solution flowing out of your other nostril. Yes I know it sounds gross but it works!!

How did I get the pot?

I asked Sharon to get the pot and the salt for me from US. I tried it two weeks ago and found that I could breathe so much easier. Now, Kenny and I dutifully "clean out" our noses daily.

So for those of you sinus sufferers, this is a good solution. Much better than spraying all that sterroid into your noses and introducing toxin to our fragile bodies.

I showed the neti pot to my regular pharmacist in Damansara Utama PJ. Hope she will bring it to Malaysia and all of you can soon find it on the shelves of our local pharmacist.

A million thanks to Sharon for sharing n shipping!

DATING ALL OVER AGAIN

It was a nice weekend that I spent with my laokong (i.e. husband for those of you who r not familiar with Chinese :) ). We spent Friday evening looking for a dinner spot before cell meeting. Ended up at ss2 PJ. Having parked our car near Poh Kong, we noticed a whole bunch of folks flocked around the shop next to Poh Kong. We walked over n saw that they were watching Malaysia's very own Olympic medalist doing his stuff on the court. It was fun n thrilling watching the match together with these guys............even the regular Alliance Bank guard was there cheering! Some of these guys placed bets n were anxiously waiting for the match to go on.

We decided to try out "The Cave" restaurant. We had been wondering what it was about. They stated on their banner it was a "couple cafe". Hehe. It was fun. We were ushered right up to the first floor. The whole place was dimly lit and had the setting of a cave.........very rough walls all around. We were seated in one of the caves. Each cave could seat at least four people. They had big scatter cushions all around the sofa. I could not even order my food and my hubby had to do it for me. The lighting was just way too dim for my eyes. I had a ceasar salad with turkey ham and a fruit flavored tea (ymmy!) and Kenny had a carbonara based pasta with iced lemon tea. The food was average in quality but it was a fun experience. The aircond was super cool and they offered me a scarf of which I glad accepted. So dinner ended and off to cell group meeting we headed. It was inspiring sharing by Kim San and Wei Yin on the mission trip they made. Will share more another time.

Saturday evening saw us at The Pavillion, Bukit Bintang. We went by MRT from Brickfields. Er, it was a date but we had my sister tag along............haha. So we shopped about and got some good bargains on clothes. We ended up at Sakae Sushi for dinner and had a long wait for our food as the place was jam packed. Later, we walked around Bintang Walk. Man, the whole place was jam packed with tourist but it was fun! By the time we got home was passed midnite.

I enjoyed the time spent with my darling hubby. It is good to take some time off our busy schedules to just have undivided attention for each other. It helps to bring us closer. Ahem.........I hope that when the young ones come along, we will be able to find willing aunties and uncles to babysit for us while we go off dating once in a while to keep the fire burning!!
