We celebrated it at the Market Place. It was located at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng. To get there from Sg. Besi, it is better to turn into Jalan Ampang and take a right turn at the cross junction near Public Bank traffic light. Then Public Bank should be at your left and move straight and you will see a mamak at your left. Look carefully for Lorong Yap Kwan Seng which is the next left turn after the mamak. Market Place is at your left as you drive along the road.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.
You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.
You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!
You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts.
You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it.
You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator!
You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.
You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.
You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.
You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

Last Saturday evening I thought of visiting my AIA manager, Eric Koh's newly open Hainan Kopitiam at Megan Salak Park. So Charng and I had our lunch+dinner before we went for The Dark Knight at Mid Valley. I am not a fan of chicken rice, in fact I prefer vegetables or salad. But honestly HomeTown's(Eric's new shop) Hainanese Chicken Rice is
extraordinarily good, for real. Why? It was
kampung chicken they served, and for your information, a
kampung chicken costs at least RM3-10 more than the ordinary chicken that we eat at any other chicken rice shop. Obviously
kampung chickens are healthier than the ordinary farm chickens(injected with antibiotics and hormones). The rice combo comes with a complementary herbal soup, which in my humble opinion is a good plus plus. Comparing the good old boring Old Town Kopitiam, which I already bored with their menu, this shop is another worth trying for the month. Then, Charng asked for a Curry Bihun Mee and to my surprise it wasn't as
bloody red as those in Old Town. I'm not against Old Town, the reason for my excitement is, for once dining outside, allow me to worry less for my cholesterol level. If I have to look at those mass reddish oil floating on my curry soup like those in Old Town, well... not appetizing. Healthy food is in for the new era, and I'm glad that HomeTown is aware of this.
Try to check out the Facebook linked to the
HomeTown.
To get there from KL, you'll have to enter Seremban Highway, exit at Desa Petaling and turn left at the traffic light. Turn left after the gas station(on your left) and go straight till the last junction and turn right. Alternatively, if you are near MEI's Furniture located at Desa Petaling which is along the Seremban highway, give the boss Eric a call or me if he can't be reached. Let's take a peek.

This is my new laptop!! It is the
HP Pavilion dv2852TX.
The top of the lappie.
Kensington lock, S-video-out, VGA, expansion port 3, RJ-45, HDMI, IEEE1394 firewire
5 in 1 card reader
Multimedia Remote Controller
Not so useful Lightscribe DVD burner,
2 USB, RJ-11, power supply that lid blue lights when power's connected.
The overview of the laptop, pre-installed in Home Vista.
Webcam!
Fingerprint scanner, another not so practical feature but good to have.
Bought some accessories from Lowyatt, one of them is the keypad protector.
Short cut buttons above the keypads and with built-in Altec Lansing.
Compact and lighter A4 Tech keyboard for heavy user like me.
A normal optical mouse is a must have to gamers.
To prolong the laptop's life span, a cooler is essential. Cheap ones will do, Cooler Master and Zalman just not my solution.
Got this foldable cooler, made with aluminium for mobility. Found it efficient and it's predecors have good fame about long hours of cooling effect(according to my sister's housemate).
Last weekend I've spent a pleasant trip to Penang. Don't know why, I love the feeling of driving my gf back to her hometown. It was a long trip as I wasn't driving too fast and we brought our puppy along. Yeap, he tagged along at the backseats, not in the cage but sat quietly behind. Yeah, not that quiet after all he'd barked at the toll plaza employee. He's just trying to be friendly.
Penang was really a relaxing and calm place where Charng is so far away from her worries back in KL. I love Penang for everything except for their "driving style", the way people occupying both lanes as they drive slowly, indifferently.
On Sunday, Charng's dad drove us to his hometown where we loaded tonnes of fruits in the car. I've had loads of
durians and
rambutans plus jack fruits. It was a very satisfying fruit feast and thanks to Charng's dad for the courtesy. I'm happy to know some of Charng's relatives, aunts and uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, and of course the kind grandma who complement that I've grown fatter. Hahaha... the first time we met is through Skype when Charng asked her to look into the screen. Then we went to the temple and bought some pirated DVDs at some stalls. Hahaha...I bought
Yi Nan Wang(a Taiwanese 500 Ep that last for 2 hours each) for my parents. Well, don't scold me for being a pirate, I can't get any source online and there are no originals in Speedy.
On Monday morning, we went to Queens Bay as early as 8:30am and sat down at Starbucks,relaxing.
Afternoon, we had our lunch at The View. Quite a classy place but I embarrassed myself for wearing shorts and sandals into the restaurant. But I was allowed in as Charng's dad is their frequent customer. I order a strip loin medium done, it was good, as good as Tony Roma's if not better. It is worth the money because the service and food was nicely presented plus appetizer and dessert is buffet style. Picture shown Charng's parents and sister walking towards the restaurant.
We left Penang at the late afternoon and I've a bus to catch the next morning at 8a.m. I'm going to Singapore to meet up with CPC and Julie. It was a day trip because I went there alone just to collect my new laptop from CPC. For CPC(Pay Sing) details please refer to my fellow bloggers list. I took Aeroline coach to and fro Singapore, after I've done some research on the customer feedback and review their website. For RM80+ it was worth the the money.
A foldable table available for dining at our own seats. Some may prefer to sit comfortably at the lounge at lower deck of the double-decker, where bigger tables for laptop and coffee, but I just prefer to buckle up at my own seat.
Entertainment was provided, playing on the screen was Jurassic Park. Yeah, OMG...
Not that appetizing but it was sufficient for the morning. Follow up was hot Milo and banana cake.
Stop by a place called Yong Peng for a pee break and found a mini waterfall.
Reached Harbour Front Centre, Singapore at 1:45p.m. McD is my lunch and where I spent 2 hours sitting there reading while waiting for the time to pass by. To my surprise, McDeluxe has a twin brother called McSpicy at Singapore. As I didn't exchange enough SG$ for the trip due to some complication in the schedule, I ended up Lovin' It. The fries there taste funny so I didn't managed to finished all. During the 2 hours, I'd not only spent on reading but I also learned that how dedicated Singaporean staff is to the customers. Why? It started off when the customer(foreign visitor) at the table next to me questioning the waiter. Probably he lost his bag while he left it on the desk when placing orders. A midst of fury slowly built up and fortunately one of the staff stepped up politely and handled it well. He voluntarily put his hand into the dustbin, searched thoroughly and proved that it wasn't dump into the dustbin by mistake. The dispute ended shortly and the customer surrendered to the luck. I was amazed by the young man's professionalism. I'm Lovin' It!
Evening, I met up with CPC , Julie and Michael at Vivo City, and we decided to have dinner at the Food republic.
Cam whoring CPC and Julie. I must admit that CPC does looks more radiant and Julie had lost some weight huh? It's been awhile since I last met Julie, but both of them are happy and so am I, for them. Remembering those times that I used to call Julie
da sao in Mandarin. I will then tell her that
da sao actually means
da zi you sao ren kao (big and not many interested in her). Yeah, I was bad but fortunately Julie is kind enough to forgive me as I'm just making it a joke. Sorry again
da sao!
Michael(Julie's hubby) and me.
CPC's dinner.
WS's dinner.
CPC said that I've grown taller,hmmm...maybe...
The guy at the right really...sigh...Singaporeans...
I took 8p.m coach and arrived at KL est 1a.m. What a day!
