Awaiting Gift for Tomorrow Night

"Get ready because tomorrow gonna be the night you'll be remember forever."

Well, I means my colleague and I. Tomorrow is the night for our Company Annual Dinner which will be held in Magellan, Sutera Harbour. Previous year, our dinner was held in Kampung Nelayan. This year annual dinner could be consider more grand compare previous year because the lucky draw gift is more luxury and expensive if comparing previous year annual dinner. Most of the prize was suggest by my manager cum our Advisor for the Company sports club.

So, what's the grand prize for tomorrow event? Let's start from the least to the top.

5th Prize - 5 x iPod Shuffle



Comes with 5 different colours and they are absolutely adorable


4th Prize - 2 x iPod Nano



2 colours; Silver and Red


3rd Prize - Canon Ixus 130


Comes with 4GB memory card, a pouch and handphone ornament


2nd Prize - Canon Ixus 130 with tripod


A complete set of camera. Its almost the same with 3rd prize but this come along with the tripod




Finally, save the best for the last. The grand prize for tomorrow night event is:
iPad with 16GB~OMG~




Looks like my manager loves Apple Company production because most of the prize are i items.

So, which want I wish to get on tomorrow night? The Grand Prize? But I already had one which bought by my dad last month. Or should I wish for the 2nd and 3rd prize? Hey, that's my baby which I'm currently bring her here and there. Initially, the plan for 2nd prize was Sony Cybershoot and 3rd prize is Canon Powershoot but don't know why at the end, comes with different end results.

In between, we even held "Best Dress" competition based on the theme which suggest by one of my colleague; "The Joy Of Spring". So, I guess tomorrow night everyone is fighting to the end to get the best dress award which worth RM300.



Anyway, wish me luck for getting those grand stuff. Stay tune for Annual Dinner 2011 post. Goodnite~

Not Again~

Gosh~ This month I'm really having Japanese foods like mad. This is the 6th round just for this month. But I don't know why I never get bored with Japanese foods even if I eat almost everyday. Looks like they had put the spell on me.

There are reason behind why I plan to have Japanese foods again for the 6th round.

TADAAA.... Sushi Voucher from WoJama Japanese Restaurant


Did you saw the expire date? That's why I must immediately fully utilise it. I received this voucher from my dad. My family went WoJamama branch located at Lintas last month with my relatives who came from Brunei. And they ate up until the foods cost RM450+++...Wah!! 7 people for RM450. They must be eating a lot. But too bad I didn't join cause I already promised to have dinner with TTM that time. WoJamama is so stingy ooo... A bill cost RM450+++ must give at least 4 sushi voucher worth RM50 but they just gave 1 to my dad. Usually, when you ate RM100 and above, they will give you a RM50 sushi voucher. So, they should give more mah....
By the way, this is the 5th time I'm receiving this voucher from them and there is once, I totally forget about it and there goes my sushi voucher ...... This time around, I keep reminding myself or else, I would !@#$%^&*.

Me and TTM visited WoJamama branch at Asia City because according to the terms and condisions stated in the voucher, it is only valid in Asia City and 1Borneo. 1Borneo is a bit farer from the place we stayed and worked, so we decided to have at Asia City. TTM was having their bento and I plan just to have the sushi. No more heavy meals for me again. (==lll)


Inari - sweet beancurd sushi. This is my all-time-favourite sushi which I keep mentioned in my blog.




All Wojamama sushi is half price if using the voucher.


Our dinner for the night.


The dinner. The voucher. The member card.

Maki at Kaze Japanese House

Kan I said I will go eat Japanese foods for the fifth time? LoL!

During lunch, me and TTM had no idea what and where to eat so, we ended up eating Japanese foods again. When we browsed the menu, we noticed that the price had increased. TTM ordered Beef Teriyaki after I showed him that it's Kaze new menu. Meanwhile, I plan to order their maki because I'm still on diet. Don't want eat too heavy meals.

He's 50 in Yun Man Steamboat Chinese Dishes

1st February 2011

He is finally 50. Hahaha... So funny when everytime my friend asked me, "How old is your dad?" and when I start to do the maths, I realised my dad not yet reached the middle age. =p

OK, another post dated blog again. Initially, my dad's plan was brought us to have dinner at his favourite restaurant nearby Hilltop but unfortunately, it closed. I keep requesting, "Dad, brought us to Hana leh" but he refused. Then, suddenly in the middle of nowhere, it popped into my mind and said, "How's about having steamboat?". All of them said, "What a great idea!". Gosh, there goes my diet plan failed! But since my sister had never went to these cheap and worth steamboat, so I just go on with their plan. This is my fifth visit.

Located at Taman Dixon, you will see it is totally crowded every night.

See, so many people and sometimes you even need to wait for a seat


You can choose 2 type of soup at a time as there has 2 compartments and my all time favourite would be chicken soup and tom yam soup


It's boiling and now it's time to put into the mouth.


Variety of raw foods. There is prawn, crab, meat, variety of fish products and lots more.


And if you are hungry while waiting for the soup to boil, there is ready cooked dishes like fried rice, chicken wings, roasted pork, fried wantan and lots more.


They even provide dessert such as ice-cream and variety of fruits.

The price list. But beware, for those unfinished foods will be charged RM5.00 per 100gram.
This is to avoid of wasting uneaten foods.

Steamboat buffer is always fulfilled your stomach with satisfaction. We are definitely full that night. A birthday celebration wouldn't complete without birthday cake.

Chocolate Fudge Cake - homemade cake by my sister.

"Happy Birthday to our beloved daddy"

Mom, Diana, Linda, William & Charles
