First longest flight taken, A Runaway to India - Post 2

This post is perhaps the most precious and important post, because talking about India, i guess this is the place or the valuable monument where ppl will think about..

I very in love with the story behind this building since i was young.. the king and one of the wives, Muntaj Mahal... i have d feelings that i wanna go n see this building one day.. but everything is just like a dream, that i alr seen it and walked inside it, and seen the grave of hers.. it was so amazing... it was so unbelievable.. i never thought that i was capable to see it on my own on this beautiful love story...

The story is too fairy tale.. and here comes the first post of this building~ my precious one with the reflection of the building on the water, visited on the date of 12/12/11..

My New Yoga Mat, Nike, bought from QBM.

This is my new Nike yoga mat, which cost RM89.00. well its expensive, i know.. but the person that decided to give me this yoga mat, even look through the net to look for a nice mat for me to practice my yoga, so encouraging n so supportive!! omg.. this is so sweet, and well... how would i not to feel guilty if i don use it to the max? ^.^

i decided to get pink pink colour, cos the other one was dull blue with grey on the other side, which i don think it boosts my appetite to do yoga..haha... so does u, thinking that pink would be nice oso, rite? i hope this is from deep inside ur heart...

My new yoga mat, that cost more than just RM89. *lovey*

I previously already got another blue colour Body Sculpture yoga mat from the same person that encourages me very much to practice yoga.. which cost RM45.90.. but it is abit harder, thats y everytime open d mat, the other side is rolling over to the floor (since everytime aft yoga, i would roll it back up)

anyhow, i still love my Nike, although abit expensive.. i hope this will be my motivation to use it more n more more~ i love both of them, cos they are very encouraging, everytime i use them, i feel u.. haha..

So happy and decided to post this up, although this is d 2nd time i used it... but i alr able to do the bridge post.. i feel very happy... well, i would say i able to do it since last time, but i dare not do it in yoga.. hehe.. thnx to d mat and d courage~ love lovey!

Pic 1- Permit at Faridabad

"Permit to?
The permit to who I am goin to be?
The permit to remove myself from Caste System?
The permit to the future?"

This photo was taken on a tourist bus, when we were stuck in the middle of slow moving traffic on the busy road. They were waiving at us from a lorry.
Within a slit second before the bus moved, I've made a shutter killed on them with some thoughts in my mind, is my ruler and their rulers of measuring happiness are d same?
Maybe can travel in the lorry is alr a very happy moment, what if our kids here were asked to travel in lorry? Will they feel happy? or will they even enter the lorry in d first place? in such a cold winter and dusty air..

When i turn my head around, will u still be there?

everyone leaves a print wherever one goes.
just like how the years leave their footprints on my skin.. just like how the years dye my hair white..
how would i to forget u that have once past by or walked beside me, even just for a short period of time."

enjoy, our life, our lives. time is always time, it is not short, just that we spend it to predict what we are going to be in the future..

One of the Memorable lunches, The View, Eq

27 Jan 2012 - 5th day of 1st month in Lunar calendar


3rd day of CNY, already go back to office to work, just because as a low level and newbie in company, I do not have many days of leave to apply. sigh, pathetic.. work for company, die for company. Trust me, I do not have this problem when i was still a student.

However, a good meal and some good people or good scenery, good words, could actually cheer up my day and motivate me at work.

That day I've had a good and sweet meal at The View, Equatorial Hotel, for the 2nd time in my life. and hell yeah, darn expensive one lo~ at least for me, yes it is..

It is kinda special that The View is a semi buffet type of restaurant, so these are what i got for my appetizer. few slices of smoked salmon, some "fresh" oysters, salad and pasta. the oyster is not very bad even though i put it in quotation mark, but i wouldn't say they are extremely fresh or impressive also la.. haha.. first, the oysters are not as clean, there are still some small pieces of residues or shells, 2ndly, they are not as fresh that u would wanna ask for more more~ haha...

Though d smoked salmon is quite nice, i kinda like it, i love any kind of salmon as long as they are fresh. Cos it is sliced from a big chunk, so the outer layer is salty and spiced, therefore i put a lil tartar sauce to enhance the taste. I didnt get the prawn as it does not make me feel like eating them.

Buffet Appetizer

I kinda love the natural lighting from outside of the drop down window, which i could get a lil shadow and some side ways lighting.. haha... and so far, this is d place that can give me the satisfied natural lighting that i've ever had.

Basically after the appetizer, with the bread and lobster soup (soup of the day) as starter, we are already half full or near to full. We picked the one that has been bokeh-ed in this pic, which has a cut on top with spreaded sea salt, to deep with vinegar and olive oil.

Bread

That day were abit unusual that they have more customers than last time I been there. and there were even one table of customers that had left after taking appetizers and couldnt wait for the main courses. and they have decided to lodge a complaint to the hotel. No surprises, the managers still talk to them very well and apologized to em, not like d hot issue of the fried chicken shop that happen lately.

I have decided to order a Roasted Cod, or perhaps, its ok la, anyone order also the same.. because i seldom decide on the food that I want, cause first, when i am hungry, i feel like eating everything, 2nd, i dn like to clash food with people on my desk.. erm.. funny thinking, yea?

Roasted Cod, RM88++ fatt fatt ah! huat ah! ong ah!! ',^

The roasted Cod, for RM88++, well, it is real cod, so as can see from the pic, it is not huge. the plate is big, and the surface area of the fish is even smaller than my phone. my new phone. haha... but it looks nice, right? the taste is not that bad, since cod is kinda tasteless, and i like d roasted feeling of the skin.. hehe...

Mixed Seafood, RM75++

Mixed Seafood, for RM75++, which i barely remember the full name of the course d, with 4 pieces of shrimps, and few pieces of big scallops, and seafood XO sauce? (barely remember), and potato + spinach vege as the base. i would prefer the scallops and sauce than anything else on the plate, because i don really like too much potato with main course. it is not very bad taste or what, but i just personally would like to share with others rather than to finish it myself. although the serving portion is not very filling, but to top up after the appetizers, i feel kinda full after eating, and couldnt really finish it.

After the meal, I went to the toilet and kinda got lost. which I got confused with the way to go out to lobby and the way to the lounge. hahaha.... This meal cost RM189.10 for all the food and taxes. expensive, isnt it? wow.. yeah... its a very memorable ones...

Romantic Chap Goh Meh with Mommy at Isaribi Tei, Chow Thye Road, Penang

Dragon year, and I am already in Penang from the beginning to the end of CNY, but too bad, 3rd day of lunar calendar alr back to work.

Well, no worries, I will always find fun and excitements in penang, despite the annoying and irritating traffic jam and those polices that only to kacau the ppl like rats all over the roads..

On the 15th day of lunar, I went to Isaribi Tei at Chow Thye Road, near to Gleneagles Hospital or "Green House" Kopitiam, and I realized there are alot of restaurants d after so long never been there.. including Table 23 which all the food taste like *beep*!!

I went there few years ago before I even have my baby camera, to celebrate my mom's birthday, which i posted before in this blog, but shot using handphone only. so, this is d 3rd time i been there, and with the compliment of my new phone's flashlight, I can get better photos than my 2nd visit, thats d reason i decided to post it now~ haha..

I went there with my voucher, which nowadays kinda trendy and HENG, but I seldom follow the trend d lately. Its an offer of RM10.90 with King Prawn Maki + Green Salad + Wakame Udon + Free Flow of Green Tea, which is quite worth while for me la.. hehe..

lets see the photos:

Kore wa wakame udon desu. (This is udon乌冬面 with kelp海带), with slightly strong lighting.

Green Salad with nice dressing rather than western dressing, great taste to bon appetit.

Here comes the KING Prawn Maki! the prawn is fresh with solid muscles '.^

Prawn maki with wrong DOF and external flash, stronger lighting.

The udon and salad are nice as well, the udon very Q and not overcooked! because i dislike overcooked udon very much!

Cause the voucher alr stated 4 pcs of king prawn maki, if order from the menu itself, its more than 4 pcs for RM30. seriously very nice and crispy! i believe the wasabi was freshly grounded, and i am sure its NOT made of colouring or fake wasabi. the prawn is fresh and tasty.. mouthwatering should be d word like how they describe in the voucher. haha... a nice and meticulous maki!

after the main courses, we ordered some HOMEMADE desserts to clean our mouth.

Rare Cheese Cake, not the Cheese cake is rare, but the cheese is rare cheese. haha...

Yogurt cake with blueberry toppings, with another option of raspberry.

Blue Cheese Ice Cream!! super nice and tasty, very milky and thick, strong taste of cheese!!!

Wasabi Ice Cream! can feel the grounded wasabi feelings, not spicy, no worries~ ^.^

Of the 2 pcs of cake of RM6 each and 2 scoops of ice cream of RM5 each, i prefer both cheeses, cos first i love cheese, and no joke, the cheese cake is really very thick and creamy milky cheesy cheese! and guess what? it is not sweet that u would feel bored or 腻 after eating like those famous cheese cakes in S brand. u would feel like eating more, and slowly feel the cheese melting in ur mouth. with the crispy biscuits base to neutralize it! i just simply love it!

the yogurt cake is nice as well, but because i don like natural taste yogurt, so, for me, its edible, but i wont like it, just because its yogurt. not the cake's fault. i could feel the real yogurt with milk taste and not just the packaged yogurt that can be bought from outside. the blueberry is sweet to cover the sour taste in yogurt, i believed the yogurt is not sweetened. it is not as creamy and milky like the cheese cake, in fact, it is more like cleary sweety to clean my mouth. 清甜清甜 one~ hehe...

Here come some compliments for my favorite BLUE CHEESE ICE CREAM!! omg!! its so nice that me and my mom straight away fall deeply in love with it!! its so cheesy and so milky!! and one more thing, it is not sweet!! i've never taste such a lovely homemade ice cream, ever! i dono what words that can describe the feelings, but guess what, not promoting it, but u shud try it if u are a cheese lover!

the wasabi ice cream is normal for me, but this is the BEST ever wasabi ice cream in whatever i've tasted in some jap buffets before! cos it is FRESH!! the wasabi can be tasted, but no worries, it is not spicy at all like d wasabi that u take with sashimi/sushi, it is abit more like a grassy and fresh greenish creamy ice cream. haha.. so complicated huh? next time i would try out some other flavours, like ocha, berries and some others and tell more here!

no worries, u do not have to pay government (which i really hate the most) for eating in this restaurant, but yes, u are charged for the services~

This meal only cost me RM10.90x2 = RM21.80 (main course) + RM24.20 (dessert), worth, right? hehe..
