birthday dinner @ Zen japanese restaurant Sunway Pyramid

Happy birthday to me :D

decided to have Japanese food this time.

based on Sarah Kate's recommendation, we went to..

Zen Japanese Restaurant

OB2-F-U2

Oasis Bolevard 2

Sunway Pyramid

(its above Kim Gary)

the interior is very nice. but the food smell (fish, to be exact) was abit too strong-_-"

a blur photo of me. i'm not even looking at the camera >.<

mummy and i :D

first dish of the day, unagi hitsumabushi (RM 25)

Sushi rice and a big slab of eel. yummy. the sauce rice and eel. nice combination indeed!

came with side serving with "cornflakes" and seaweed

also served with clear soup. in a teapot! so adorable :)

my sister's dish, Salmon Bibinba (rm23)
rice with salmon, egg and vege. pretty good too

soup in teapot.lol

and i ordered the Rokkaku Set (RM60)

this was great as it had a variety of stuff. from fresh yummy thick slices of salmon to tempura prawns, chawan mushi, sushi rice, eel, some other seafood. fruits and soup. all-in-one :)

and last but not least, desserts :D
strawberry ice (rm8)

its frozen strawberries filled with vanilla ice cream inside and cream. just pop in into your mouth and it will melt slowly. and give you a brain freeze.lol

all in all, Zen is a pretty nice place to dine. Service was efficient, didn't have to wait too long.

will definitely come back here again :D

on another note....guess what??

musmus has a new toy. a pink fluffy pillow :D

IMU Music Nite 2009

beautiful backdrop by kee and juejing:D

music nite was held on 29th april 2009. just one of the events us SRC had to organize to inject some fun.
glad that many people helped out and relieved that students actualy participate! hurrah~
I was in charge of invitations (again) and was coaxed to be emcee with dejun ONE day before the event. OMG!!!!

just some snapshots of the nite...


i brought musmus for amusement (and support! LOL) and musmus got violin lessons from wen leong. hahahahh. and he was supposed to put musmus in his pocket when performing on stage!! but he chickened out last minute :P

(thanks crissy for the correct spelling. hehe)

with two good girl friends, suesuegamushi and eley.

Dejun and I, the emcees of the nite.

it was OK, except that embarssing beginning. eek >.<

can't believe i actually made it through the night! haha

david and I. one of our hobbies is calling each other "kiasu" :p

It was a great night, good first (and last! i hope) being an emcee.

Beeling's (26.08) & Kajen's (28.08) 21st birthday @ Kiku Zakura, Midvalley

wednesday was the perfect day to celebrate the birthdays of two very good friends of mine. Dejun did most of the planning (thank you so much :)) and i provided the cupcakes, hehe :P

i thought i was going to be late-with all the jam and the heavy downpour..but i was just about 20 minutes late ..

the place was Kiku-zakura, a very nice japanese restaurant in Mid valley, its at the top most floor (where the cinema is located) with traditional and very beautiful deco. when bill, jane and I walked in, they lead us to a sliding door and lo-behold!! our very own private room!! we even had to remove our shoes!! its sort of like dining japanese stlye except we don't have to sit crossed legged, there is actually space to dangle our feet.but i noticed it was rather difficult to move around and the waitresses had to bend down alot to serve us our food..the people there were really nice and friendly and very accomodating. they were also dressed up real nice that gives it a "authentic" atmosphere!! loved this place so much!!


the view from our private room..
our appetizer-tofu, which was soft and silky and delicious
bill's food, after contempelating for a long time. she claimed she got the both noodles and rice (from the sushi)
me with my chicken nanban. so typical of me to order something so ordinary...it was bite sizes of chicken, deep fried. well, at least it had a pretty cute name...it was good also

this is my food- chicken nanban set, with a serving of salad, potato salad, rice, miso soup (which i did not touch) watermelon and some weird condiments on the small plate (still don't know what they are >.<)
jane's choice. chicken with cheese. quite a specail dish. it had a fancier name, but i just can't remember it...
and the highlight of the day that got all of us girls swooning and fawning over-the pink doggy ice cream cake...sooo cute!!and tastes good too, sponge cake with lots of chocolate ice cream
until we sang the birthday song and when the candles were blown...it time to cut the cake. poor doggy.
this is not for the faint hearted...surgery gone bad :( look at the face, its practically dropping off
:(

and from me...21 cupcakes. hope the both of you liked it :) i really enjoyed baking it

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY BEE LING AND KAJEN!!

welcome to the club. heheh

my 21st with my dearest

it was my 21st birthday and my dearest James celebrated my special day with me.
I have to mention that this is the VERY first time I get to celebrate my birthday with him because every year at this time he will be back in miri cos its the semester break.
and the birthday in SAM, taylors is not counted cos we weren't together yet.
so, thank you so much dear. for staying back so you can celebrate with me :)

the day started off with me dragging James to the Russ warehouse sale, where we spent one hour plus cos the queue was so long. bought some pretty wrapping paper, gift bags and some figurines (for my new room in seremban. hehe)

then we went to the curve for lunch and a movie at cinelesuire. watched Batman: TDK. which was superbly good. had to wait for my bday to watch this cos James insisted.well, it was worth the wait:)

a photo together during lunch at La Gourmet house, the curve

me with my mushroom aglio olio. packed with mushrooms and chili flakes (my two most favourite food, aside from chocolates) and lots of herbs. was really good except it was too oily

ice cream from IKEA. i shared it with james. don't get the idea that im a greddy pig. hahah

gifts: earring hanger (nice beady "handbag" with feathers even!) and a pair of blings that i picked out from Ikano and that he insisted on paying. yay, more space for my earrings :) got one pair from alicia and another from evelyn. yes, I'm an earring addict :P
our shared passion: books. its quite sometime since i read a Lurlene McDaniel book and was eyeing it in the bookshop that day. and him being so observant got it for me. hehe. he even called up my sis to check if I've read that title or not by reading out the book's synopsis. how sweet is that?? and a chick lit book, little black dress series. and yes, i have "digested" both books.. and the cutest gift, a bunny bookmark. so so so adorable ^_^

and something that i made him fall in love with (ok, not really fall in love. just made him like it more) CHOCOLATES, from the chocolate lounge in One Utama. the one I'm looking forward to is the CHILI chocolate. have yet to try any yet, no heart to eat..they all look so pretty..
James with the chocolate fondue from baskin robbins. don't know which one is more tempting :P

the fondue set. pure indulgence. 16 mini scoops of ice cream, all assorted flavours-green tea tastes kinda weird. there was also multi coloured sorbet and more familiar flavours like jamoca almond fudge, chocolate and stuff. there were also bananas, grapes, kiwi fruit, brownies and cakes. YUMMY. a must try for all dessert lovers. it will be even more special if you're celebrating something. can't afford (in terms of cash and also putting on weight and oh! the guilt!) to eat it just for fun

me with the first birthday card. a carat card with a rhinestone studded handbag. i know i love bags alot too. and shoes. earrings. dresses..lol :P there is also a second card that reads...

SELAMAT HARI JADI, untukmu yang istemewa. hahah. shall not say anything more!
opened all my gifts while having dessert. which was a very good idea :) and each present had a "story" to go along with it. perfect way to end the date

a very random photo. spot the NOT! its the moose, which is Caryn's key chain among all the bunnies. hahah

and when i went home, mummy surprised me with a full size cake from secret recipe! cos we normally have 4 slices to share to celebrate birthdays..chocolate indulgence, my favourite flavour some more! hehe.

can't put our family photos cos mummy is in the pj's LOL.

a big thank you to my dearest family.. all the prezzies and sms/facebook wishes from my friends..and to my moosemoose..muaxxie!! my 21st birthday was really special and i shall remember it for a long time to come:)

Emily's 21ST birthday

day: 25th june 2008
venue: Itallianes, sunway pyramid new wing
time:7.30pm
event: EMILY'S 21ST BIRTHDAY!!!

i got an invitation to emily's birthday party, which was 5 days before the BIG DAY (eos5!!)
but since it was after all her 21st and the last time i'm gonna see her for over six months, i figured a couple of hours won't hurt. i studied more the days before her bday to compensate :)

since she had a"dress code" of either pink/white, i decided to wear my favourite white dress ^_^

and i was among the first few. ahem. who were on time! LOL

the cute yummy "looks too good to be eaten" cake. sooo beautiful!
my high school friends. levond, me, bell, suefei and amrita
a group photo for the "pink" group with the pretty birthday girl!! love the tiara!
and the "white" group
birthday girl making a wish!!!

and a chance to write a food review! hahah

appetizer. stuffed mushroom. My absolute favourite of the day! haha
juicy button mushrooms stuffed with meat and there is this yummy cheese sauce all over the plate. absolutely delicious!

the pizza. topped with tomatoes and yummy gooey cheese
ceaser salad. a good way to make me eat my vege. with a generous sprinkling of cheese, lots of crunchy croutons. yummy!!
the classic creamy carbonara. sinfully rich and delicious!
the angel hair pasta. tomato based sauce, very good as well ^_^

Thanks emily (i know you read my blog!) for the lovely invite to your 21st. I'm glad i could celebrate your special day with you!
