Festive Eats !

I know it's kinda late in blogging about this but heck, I always believed in better late than never right? Enough said, in my country, Malaysia, last week was a week of fun, eats and play as we have a time called Hari Raya for the Muslims in my country. It's a time where family get together, eat together, and other wonderful things after a month of fasting. The best thing about these two month is that, FOODS!! Never ending of wonderful mouthwatering foods!!

Most of the foods are without doubt, very sinful, and very delicious. I would say it is all a must have. It's undeniably fattening, but hell, which awesome food is not? That's the reason why they are awesome right? The top picture is what we have, called Lemang. It's sticky rice cooked in bamboo and believe me, together with the curry, it's fabulous! I'd never have enough of that.

This one, I believe most knows it. The infamous satay ! Depending on your choice, you may have various type of meat to cook. My personal favorite, beef and chicken! Some even comes with rabbit meat or camel meat. Ohhhh, ostrich meat are delicious too. Juicy and tender! Together with the curry that's mixed with nuts, it's an awesome treat that one can have for dinner and yes, just by eating this alone, you can be actually very full. Price vary but cheapest of chicken meat it cost about RM0.30 per stick. Totally worth it.

The lovely darling here, is the traditional nasi lemak ! The name itself mean fats. But then again, it's delicious!So, who cares! Really, when it comes to this one, it's also another must have during this wonderful season. It's a must have, cannot be missed, MUST EAT meal. I do so insist. You can practically find it everywhere and I personally like those that is served like this. Brings out the tradition in it and yeah, for some reason, it taste better served on banana leaves.

This is like an extra, but also one of my favorite. It's called Ayam Percik. Not sure how to translate this into english but it's chicken meat with some awesome marinated sauce. Seeing it with the sticks, yes, it's meant to be grilled. It's definitely a huge piece, with each stick enough for a person, especially if you're a small eater. Mostly, during the fasting month, this is sold in the market and the aroma of this would overwhelm most ! :D I do miss this the most as I can only find awesome ones during the fasting month. Other than that, it's not so nice.

Of course, another perks of having these sort of festive season here in this country is that, in town, it's usually empty and there's no traffic or whatsoever. We always look forward to such festive seasons as it gives great foods, smooth as white tofu traffic, family gatherings and of course, away from work and classes. It's a get fat and lazy moment, but, everyone loves it.

Another Year Older

Well, technically it doesn’t really matter about growing old or not since everyone will age. But the beauty of that is, I’m learning how to appreciate things more and more. For instance, my playlist. My songs used to be and still will be as a friend said, screamo songs, or any songs that I feel is worth me listening to it.

But whaddaya know? Here I am typing this out while listening to a bunch of classical piece from 80s to 90s. It’s…peacefully soothing. I had the CDs long time ago and only yesterday I had taken the time out to rip the songs to put inside my netbook for my convenience. When I first got the CDs, I never bothered listening to it when I found out it’s all instrumental. Look what happen now. I thank God I never threw them out back then and kept it in good condition. Listening to all the piano, the saxophone, the acoustic guitar… It’s all just so wonderful. I know, I sound like a sick love puppy lost in the blind love. But hey, that’s a beautiful feeling isn’t? Well duh, I’m in a good relationship and that feeling still comes back most of the time. Good upkeep, right? *wink wink*

But ya’know, one thing bout all these songs, all girls are hopelessly in love with such thing. Who wouldn’t? I could totally imagine myself dancing to the song feeling like a princess. LOL. What do you expect? All those songs makes you feel like you’re living a fairy tale life (play the songs, listen to it, have your eyes closed and let your imagination bring you to it) with all the beautiful instruments playing. God bless the creator of these instruments and yes, I do have to sing Thank Abba for the Music. I’m hopelessly in love with these nao!!

Johnnie Walker Black Circuit Lounge April 2011

Held at Le Marquee, Palace of the Golden Horses and spotting quite a number of celebrities like Serena C, Jojo Struys, Fay Hokulani, Hannah Tan (who's the emcee of the night along with some guy I forgot his name) and Reshmonu and having some of them just directly in front of me really makes the whole party having the VVIP feel.

Cocktails served and a bottle of Black Label for every table (which will be refilled with another bottle once empty) plus two mixer and cocktail foods served by 'butlers', I'm definitely a happy person once again going for all these events.

Nonetheless, here's the pictures ! Celebrities pics are not available cuz I'm too busy trying out the cocktails and foods :D

DJ I-Tek from Hong Kong doing his stuff which I personally think is seriously uber awesome-ness and he brought six dancers with him!!

These cars were spotted outside!! When we reached, it was empty, but halfway through the party, this is what we saw... These two are just a small part of it...there's a Porsche and a Ferrari...

And here is our gifts from Johnnie Walker event ! Since we're not under the 'By Invitation Passes' but the contest winner list, we got these babies instead of the miniature Black Label bottle. I loved these better than the bottle seriously.

New Year, New Place

Finally!! We’ve already moved from that hell hole and thanks to all the friends, we’ve managed to move and clean everything up. Now all that is left, is cleaning up the entire house. Well, of course, we’re leaving that for the cleaning maids. At this new room, although it’s a tad more cramped after everything is being setup, I feel more at home compared to the previous place.

Funniest thing is that, we moved everything on the eve of the new year and thanks to some friends, we managed to clear up everything and still able to make it for the countdown! We had a great view from paramount ‘mamak’ and MidValley kept our eyes busy while feasting on tons of chickens! It ends with us going to Cindy’s place and drink the beers from the BBQ party that we had recently. A lot of pictures were never uploaded and still kept in my phone. Will find a proper time to upload it all at one go!

Well, gotta pen off now. Need to head out to shop for stuff for the new place! Happy New Year all !!
