food tasting take 1

my brother's wedding is in 24 days (omg) and i know this entry is sooo the lambat.however i have been busy as much as i thought i couldn't be.but then that's a different story for a different time.
so sometime in early oct,7 family and a friend was invited for my brother and his fiancee's food tasting.my first.
arrived at the Grand Seasons just after noon having not chomped on supper the night before.
camwhored around the ballroom area whilst waiting for everyone to arrive.
menu;
tomato soup
bread rolls
xxxxxx
pickles,papadam,chutney,raita
xxxxxx
murgh shajahani curry
lamb keema
mee nu porial
prawn paratal
dhall tarka
vegetable jalfrezi
aloo mattar
vegetable briyani/white rice/chapati
xxxxxx
sliced fresh fruits,gulab jamun & carrot halwa
teh tarik
orange cordial

when the huge arse dishes cover ( i dont know the name ) thingy mejengy was opened,everything from the vege to the chicken looked the same curry color.
hmm...something wrong here!
so we waited for the waiter to serve us and i dug in ( hungry mah)
how else to food taste/taste food la?
is there some sort of an etiquette?

my verdict is as such............

• rice was not the pure briyani - have tasted better

• chicken could taste the curry powder - my grandma makes better chicken curry.

• lamb keema - pretty good

• mee nu porial ( wc is fried fish ) - i fry better ones on my electric stove - serious!
  

• dhall - loved it

• vegetable - was okla (m not fussy)
  

• prawn - could be a lot more fresh

let me not even go to the dessert. This much i know tho and take my word for it,
only a pastry chef can/should prepare desserts, those who make chapatis' shouldn't !
after 2 hours and several argument with the chef ( yes,we asked him to come see us )
three quarters of the menu was to be altered...

can't wait to try the fish tikka (my idea)

m i glad i'm not the one planning a 45 table massive dinner hoping nothing will go craXy.

p/s: thnx laks for sponsoring the wedding and dinner saree - love 'em.

me and my blog is under construction.

:(

sicko.

i know i am about to fall really sick.just that i do not know how sick is sick gonna be.the past 2 days i've been enduring fever,flu/sinus, slight sore throat and feel the chills right down to the bones.

so either i have my usual sinus attack or H1N1.

hopefully neither comes in the next 4 days since i am in the run for an 8 hour time bank."anything" must happen post 1st of October onwards onlyla.i ask just this from God.

i deserve the 8 hour!!!86 days of perfect attendance must NOT go to waste.

p/s:am gonna swallow my 5th actifast.

mummy-i want chicken soup. :(

p/ss:wanted to add a pic of chicken suop but nothing looks like my mum's chicken soup.

buaaaaaaaawwwwwwwahhhhhh!

cho-mel

meet cho-mel.my 8 day old sweetness.rescued him from tesco curve curled amongst a number of ugly fishes.took me a while to pick.finally after 30 mins.felt connected to him!

isn't he just adorable.

tink it's a he.i really can't tell.can you?

p/s:cleaned the aquarium yesterday night.his shit is stinko.eeuu!

selamat hari raya

to my muslim friends,

HAPPY RAYA.

to my non-muslim friends,

HAPPY HOLIDAYS.

one of the pleasures of living in a world of many cultures, one gets to share the joys of different celebration all year round.

i want my rendang ayam and cornflake cookies.please.....

p/s: be safe everyone.

so far.

its too early in the morning on a public holiday.and to think i don't get $ for working is depressing.it's been raining every day that it's not funny anymore.my clothes have a certain unpleasant smell because the sun only comes out 3 hours in a day.maybe i should get a dryer.washed clothes are always warm and smell good.

my plants (not the virtual ones) look like they're about to wither too,my virtual farm is doing much better.occasional rain when it needs to.lots of sun.nice eh.yesterday,got myself a hot air balloon which sits a black sheep instead of my latest boytoy,chace crawford from gossip girls.he's 23 and hot.benny agrees that he is gorgeous which is both comforting and depressing.

i have a weakness for dimples

and a weakness for grubby looks

am in season 2 of gg.

love blair waldorf aka leighton meester-she's got character.
hate blake lively aka serene van der woodsen -after the 4th episode,you want to strangle her.

most of the boys/men are forgetable except my CC and chuck bass aka ed westwick.

i'd highly recommend GG for their fashionable wear,get envious with the lifestyle we will never have,extravagant parties the families host every week,how they make brunch look so classy and of course for chace crawford.

so just pop in the dvd,get a bar of chocolate,softest throw,lie on the couch and press ' play '

You know you love me.XOXO.Cheeky Girl.

p/s: m in love with good girls go bad.yeah i know,i have a versatile music sense,so sue me :P

" She was so shy

Till I drove her wild "

RLes does it again.

sexy.

" I want to take your love and mix it with mine

And maybe have a Coca baby "

sweet.

" Something about the way you look at me

Tells me that I just might be worthy "

selfless.

"Even if I don't have all your trust

I want to give you all my love (ooh) "

sizzling.

" Baby Just take my hand and dim the light,

Coz for the rest of the night

We'll be making love the way that we're supposed to "

p/s: i like how he says 'coca'

really now.piss off.

someone said very recently to me that a blog as personal and maybe not so private as it is, is an avenue to vent out one's frustration.I don't have the time or heart to bother about what people think about me.I still don't.I hate confrontations.I'd rather just let you be because i know i'm a lot more matured than what you are.

However several nights ago, the few who know me too well told me " sweets,i was never someone who like confrontations and you know it but if that's what you need to do,then do it! You do not deserve to be treated as such "

1.why do you behave and plod around as if you own some parts of the organization?

2. why are you concerned about what time i walk in/go for lunch/leave home?

3. why do you keep instigating my friends against me with your BS!!!?

4. why can't you just move away from the friendship when i have clearly done that?

5. how is it that you don't see your own flaws and pick on everyone else around you?

have you not learnt your lesson after what happened to a friend.

will you ever learn your lesson.never i suppose.crocodile tears you shed.whatever for?!

there is no point in going to temple and worship God,break 100 coconuts,place 100 joss sticks if your heart is filled with hatred and your mind has ill intentions all the bloody time.

it's just so disgustingly hypocritical.

i know now people like you are just plain bullies and will evetually not have anyone/anything with you.very sad.

so leave me the fuck alone as i have left your sorry self.

p/s:karma.remember that.what goes around comes around.always.

neckache.eye ache.finger ache.

since everyone who reads my blog ( all 7 of em') are ALSO on my FaceBook,i shan't waste too much time explaining the below snapshot.

To Boobieh who still refuses to be on Facebook, for whatever reasons i will never know, this is my farm on this game,Farm ville.

I am not a game freak.Really.I am not.I used to play Bejeweled and Zuma in the office when i could, not in my capacity as a TL of course.Cannot set bad example to the young ones.
So when i used to receive requests to join this which was for almost a month,i simply clicked " ignore ". Sorry to those who sent me these requests.

Then one fine day, i was bored to my wits.House was clean.Laundry Done.Watered my 2 plants.Boiled drinking water.Clothes folded.
Of course,was also coaxed by a good friend, i cannot reveal the name here.You know who u r.

I decided to click on the request and am now hooked.It's been about 2 weeks now and all i can think about when i'm anywhere but home is to harvest my crops (sounds so wrong) but you know what i mean rite?!

so im in level 16 now which is quite fantastical considering i started seriously about a week ago-not sure what is the last level yet.and all i was wondering in the past 2 days i've been off is what will i do with my time when i've made it to the absolute lasttttttt level.

then about 5 seconds ago,i came across a new game called Farm Town which is even cooler because they allow you to store the harvested produce and sell them in the market place.

How divine is that huh!!!!!!

k back to farming now.

have a good week you all.



p/s:gotta clear my tangible groceries bought about an hour ago.my juice boxes are dripping wet now.damn!?!!

black wednesday.

ok ok.i tumpang glamor also la.since i was a witness/victim/passenger of this unforseen tragedy.tomorrow will be a week since this happened.i'm just glad we're both walking,talking and breathing.

thank you boo.u will always be the first ones we call when shit hits the fan or not.it was almost like seeing jd motionless all over again.thank you frenchie for keeping calm.as i said to you all,if that happened to me,i'd b crying until the fire people come.

papa-please service your car soon.m worried.what with the stupid rain and all.

to everyone else i know and love -jaga-jaga di jalanraya.mwahssss....:)*

ah beng on tow.aiyoh!

my year of birth still trying to hold on.

always yours.

love the surprise.don't know what it's for.perhaps it is sweeter when one doesn't.

so from just me and my blessed heart, thank you you.

longkang.

i hardly get to hang out with all my fellow colleagues and my boss in a relaxed environment since we work reallyyyyy hard in different shifts.so it's nice to be off work for a couple of hours in the afternoon and just chill and what else....BOWL!!!! our first team outing late last year was dinner at Chilis' which was more of a get to know your boss and vice verse since jamie was in his 2nd month stint.everyone was in their best behaviours.i had the lamb shank which was yummy.nothing else happened.at least that i can remember.so last year news anyway :) so about 2 weeks ago,we took the monorail ( felt like a " lawatan sambil belajar ") to Berjaya Times Sq's Ampang SuperBowl Centre for 2 games of bowling - women vs men.i was to bowl against my boss.rite.who thankfully sucked as well.hahaha!

both games were won by men because they had jamil.jamil's pretty good actually or just that we sucked so badly that he was the best in the worst.

i was just glad that i beat jamie in the second game by individual points.muahahahaha!

teaser sent by OL altho doubt the men were teased in anyway.

kak Roy all glammed with floral baju.do not let the tudung mislead you.she is quite the dirty minded

oooooo oooooo tat's me with my PINK ball. i scored one strike.not bad leh

the disaster lanes - lane 30 and lane 31

my boss who is quite comical except during 2-4pm every tuesdays - DR meeting when we usually kena bantai kau kau

david folding his sleeves with that cheeky smile.

ade at the forefront who is constantly reminding me to not forget my appointments.sometimes i feel like she is my PA too.

Uncle Johnny's SteamBoat Restaurant- not bad am not really a huge fan of steamboat.

boss @ work or play, i can't tell.

goofing around.

hahaha David.

tired after the first game.

he suxxx at bowling which i found quite odd.his slide teruk.

Olive has a slow mo way of bowling.very very cute.

boss posing.

sammy who is en route to Sydney now with hubby.nice.

p/s: next event-karaoke.OMG!

chopped.

My last hair snip was in April before the Europe trip;felt i had to have a new look.Jztin.my underpaid/no pay fashion consultant aka personal shopper has been naggin' ( after the 3rd time,it becomes a nag ) to pursue a radical change.

However,my round face and even rounder DOE eyes will not have any form of changes,radical or not.I wanted bangs.short.and maintain the length.i cannot do short either.my fine hair just will not have it.So i checked-in to Martin's Nuevo Salon at 5.30 and began work.

He relaxed my fringe,snipped it off,trimmed my back and sides. Finished at 8.15.

and Voila...Of course to have it look like this, i need Martin's magical hands,a hair dryer and for there to be no wind/sun/rain. How lah?!?!!

I hate blow drying my own hair/any one's. Air dry is THE way to go. :)*
