Travelling

I was looking through some of the photo that I took a few years back when I was travelling oversea with my friends. Miss those days!!

Hong Kong is definitely my NUMBER 1 destination so far. Miss those time I had with Claire and Queen. It's my first time travelling oversea with just 2 girls and I must say we are really daring then. Still remember at that time, I had only been to Hong Kong once when I was 12 years old, Claire had never been to Hong Kong while Queen had only been to Hong Kong only once when she was rather small too. (To add on, me and Queen can't really speak Cantonese) We were totally clueless as to what Hong Kong has in store for us. However that definitely did not dampen our mood for =chi dong xi, mai dong xi, chi dong xi, mai dong xi= haha (if u know what I mean)





At the cafe below our hostel!! Taken by our beloved Uncle who greeted us every morning with his big bright smile!





Taken at the stairs in the temple





We are the well known directors for the movie- Avenue of Stars





Inside their tram ( the one heading to Disney Land is even better!)





Trying to hide! But with my size, I doubt so!




Yay! It was hard to have all 3 of us in the picture



The street near where we stayed. (Super convenient)




This was our humble hide-out for a day's tiring spree


Next we have - Macau and Hong Kong


5 months down the road and I headed for Hong Kong again. This time round it was an educational trip with my school but I was still as excited.




Pretending that the crackles are on fire! We are good at it, aren't we? ^^


St Paul at Macau


Glaring sun but we still managed to give our most radiant smile


The almighty Evelyn!


Disney Land?! Hmmmm guess we have to satisfy our craving for the still renovating Disney Land with retail shop situated at the airport itself.


We are going to prosper ("fa") for the years to come!!!


Guess who are the gamblers among us?

Makan time!


Jumbo is just behind us.

Okie we were supposed to act blur but all 3 expressions looked so different haha


Last shot at Hong Kong airport before heading off for HOME

I wonder when will be the next time that I will be heading to Hong Kong again. I miss the "Jacky Chan" hostel, the cafe with his bao and tea! I miss the bustling street too. I miss those complain that I made to Claire and Queen whenever I kanna some aircon water while walking by the street. hahaz! (For ur info, I am always the unlucky one among the three of us who always kanna aircon water without fail eveyday during the one week trip!! Unfair!! ^^) Despite that I still miss Hong Kong loads! While, I think I should stop whining and move on haha. I am sure I will get to visit Hong Kong soon, I have a strong feeling I will!!

Tuesday Green

Monday Blue..... Tuesday Green!!

I have no idea why but I am seriously in no mood to mug. Exams are coming and I am still enjoying myself (Can't believe that I manage to steal some time off today "busy" schedule to go all the way to Khatib to look up the noti little girl - btw her name is Serene.)

As usual, Serene can't wait to get her little hands on me when I reached. (It's not often that a prey will make their own way to find her) Can't think of a better way to shed off those extra kilos? Then make a trip to SERENE SLIMMING CENTRE and WhaLa, you will be burning those unwanted fats within 15 minutes.

I was made to run around my Aunt 5-rooms flat for the whole time. The "nasty" little hands grabbing onto you, nudging you to follow her where ever her legs could carry her. I was really panting by the time she decides to take a break from her "jog" considering that she needs to pee from all the milk, water, juices and soft drinks that she consume. (In case you are wondering at the types of liquid that she is consuming - she can't help but take a sip out of everyone drinks and that explain the wide variety of drinks she consume each day! Tsktsk!)

Hmmm enough of Little Serene for the day! Shall continue in time to come - I am sure I can't wait to visit her soon to see what kind of terrors she has in wait for me.

Shall end today's blog with a short video clip of Serene doing her favourite TaiChi. Though our Serene Shifu was kind of distracted today during her practice after she set her eyes on the "legendary" fan left lying on the floor by the once renowned Sun Wu Kong. (Hmmm I know got no link... haha!!)

Annalakshmi



Heard of Annalakshmi? If you have yet to heard of it, then read on to find out more!

Annalakshmi is a unique restaurant of its kind. It is quite different from several conventional eating outlets. Firstly, the principal motive is service and not profit. Annalakshmi was not established as a business venture competing with others to make profit in a stipulated time. It is run largely by volunteer staff who joyfully serve in an assortment of restaurant activities; cooking, serving, setting & clearing tables, dish washing, taking orders, transporting etc. They do not “work” for “shift hours” just to make a living. They volunteer and dedicate their time because they find joy in the underlying philosophy of serve, love and give. Dining at Annalakshmi means choosing food from a menu without a price. Eat what you want and give as you feel. (Still don't get it?) In simpler terms, you are free to pay whatever amount that you like regardless of the amount you eat. ( Saying so, it does not mean that it is a place for us to eat "cheap" food. I strongly believe that we have to respect Annalakshmi's culture and belief in their customers to pay a decent price for the food consume. )

After the brief introduction of Annalakshmi, now do allow me to share my dining experience with you. I decided to drop by at one of the restaurant located at the basement of Chinatown Point after much recommendation. Initially I was quite skeptical about the concept of "Eat what you want and give as you free". I was sure that the food and service must be really bad, and the place must be really run-down in order for any restaurant to make such claims. However, to my surprise, it is totally different from what I envisage it to be. The first thing anyone would noticed about the restaurant would be the grand entrance that makes you want to break through it to unveil the secret within. When I push opened the door, the interior design blown me away. You really have to see it to believe it. The place is filled with rich Indian culture and there are beautiful ornaments at all corners of the restaurant. Even the walls look fantastic with embellishment in the shade of red and gold.

Unfortunately, they no longer serve buffet style, orders have to be make by ala-carte. This prove to be rather difficult for me, as I have no idea how most of the food in the menu look like despite the short english descriptions stated in the menu. Fortunately, the service staff are really polite and helpful. I must say that I will give them 2 thumbs up plus 10 toes up for their prompt and personalise service attitude. As for the food, it turn up aright. Though, personally I tend to crave for some meat throughout my meal. (heez, I am a strict omnivores).

For potatoes lover, do try their Aloo Jeera (Boiled potato tossed with jeera and spices) and Masala Posal (Dosai filled with spice potatoes). However, the 2 items that are a "MUST TRY" are the Gobi Manchurian (Cauliflower fritters cooked in a spicy sauce) and Annalakshmi Special (Rice cooked with vegetables, raisins, nuts and spices.) Yummy! Trust me as I am someone who is rather picky with food.


Hungry?!


Look out for the below pictures:



Gobi Manchurian (Cauliflower fritters cooked in a spicy sauce)


Aloo Jeera (Boiled potato tossed with jeera and spices)


I hope the 2 pictures did not make any of you feel disgusted about the food. I know its kind of messy as I can't help but dig into the food once it's being served. Therefore I only remember to take a photo of it halfway through the meal. Lol. The other dishes were already in my tummy before my mind can react. I am sure it wouldn't be appeitzing for you to witness the empty bowls of the other dishes that are practically being slurp down by me!


To end off today entry. Let me share with you some of the photo that I took while strolling through the street of Chinatown today. They are some of the few photo that give me a nostalgic feel of those days where I used to hold my Mummy hands to look for New Year clothes at the shops located above the food centres.



The night street at Chinatown which used to bustle with human traffic

The place where most of us have been to as a child. A place that holds many memories!
