Coliseum Cafe in Jalan TAR

One place that I always wanted to go was Coliseum Cafe. And dimples brought me there to experience it. :D The place is nothing fancy and in fact it is very old. Kinda reminds you of some pre-historic restaurant smacked and cluttered in between all the overly priced textile shop. What do they served? Asian and Western cuisine but most importantly they are famous for their sizzling steaks. You know that thing that goes sizzzzzzzzzz.......??? And you get the feeling that you have lots of open pores after that??

Though we didnt try the sizzling menus, the rest of the food was good too.
Dimples and I tried the below.

Oxtail Soup - a bit salty though Prawn Salad - highly recommended Fried Squid - nothing like your Itallianies squid but taste as good Mixed Grill - the all-in-one (lamb, beef, chicken, bacon, sausage, corn, tomato, brocolli, and fries) And they dont come cheap too. But certainly worth a try.

I am beginning to get lazy when it comes to gym. Frankly, without a gym partner, it is not nice to go alone.

Anyway, weekend is a time to feast and pig out and enjoy all the food that you missed out on the weekdays due to various reasons i.e. ur office area only serves lousy and overpriced chak fan, or u cant find good company to lunch with, or you basically too busy and always depend on overpriced tapau food or it could also be delicious homecook food tapau from home.

Saturday
Breakfast - Leftover Soup and some Yong Tau Foo from coffee shop
Lunch - Loh Mee in Damansara Uptown
Tea time - Chicken Floss and Doritos Barbeque Flavour
Dinner - BKT in PJ Old Town

Sunday
Breakfast - sausage bread from Baker's Cottage
Lunch - Ho Weng Kee Wan Tan Mee in SS2
Dinner - Coliseum Cafe in Jalan TAR

I should feel fat now....

Bo Doh Why You So Like Tat One?

Over the weekend, dimples and I went to see BROADWAY PARODIES LAH! That's the good thing when you work for a big organisation that sponsors events such as this. At first, I thot of it as another musical show... but the casts immediately prove me wrong.

I am so glad I came for this. And you ought to if you can.

Good seats, entertaining casts, humourous and not forgetting, very Malaysian la... Do check it out. Only until June 3

Chez Moi

A fine dining dinner out with dimples in Chez Moi, Hartamas on a Sunday Night. Pictures can sometimes be deceiving. The restaurant is simply breathtaking in the website and deceiving. See the importance of good photography and proper lightings. It makes everything simple looks exquisite. :D

But the place is worth a try. It's quiet and the waiters are very friendly. And if you want a place that serves good food and like the whole place to yourself w/o wanting to pay a bomb, check out http://www.chezmoi.com.my/files/index2.html

Ge-Poh No More?

U know I haven't really blog about my thots recently. Mainly just the things that happened to me only. Cos I have no time for thots anymore these days. Over lunch yesterday with TT and Dougie, whom I obviously have not seen for months, I came to find out more stuff. Stuff in this case means things that happened which I was not updated of. And being the Ge-Poh me, I should at least know the latest gossip. Maybe work has overpowered me. It's true. I dont yum cha with the boys as much as I used to. My weeknights are endlessly meeting clients-to-be. Not that I am complaining cos some of the clients are friends who are I have not met for a long time as well. So it was a good time to meet up as well. Even gym has taken hmmm.... i dont even know where to position GYM. I haven't step foot there since .... I cant remember that too.

If you ask me what I think... I feel there is only so much a person can do in a day, a week or a month. Maybe being Ge-Poh should take secondary position now. Since my friends think I am a Ge-Poh and should be a professional integoorator. In fact, am I that? Is it wrong to show concern for a friend? Is it wrong to show that I want to know more rather than just the surface of things? Is it wrong to find out more? Does my friends see me as annoying?

I hope not.

Big Kids Skating

No one said anything about adults not allowed in the rink right? So Baby Bunny, Mr W, dimples and Porky Queen decide to "torture" themselves on a Sunday morning to Sunway's skating rink.

Yeah, you should be sleeping in on a Sunday. Not 4 of us though. :P Amongst us 4, Im the least experienced one and I am terrified of anything tat requires me to balance.. yes things like cycling, rollerblading.... (i cant do both.. or at least i cant remember anymore)

The rink was slippery and I was holding on to the railings until dimples said "It would be easier if you let go" And I was glad I did, though 2 falls wont stop me from skating. It was an enjoyable experience and even the 3 sifus had their virgin falls. muahahahahaha.. konon expert... hahaha

Though painful and tiring, it was still worth it. A good exercise to replace gym isnt it?

My Fair Lady

Never say NO to free tickets especially if each ticket costs RM350. So thanks to dimples' networking skills, we both were treated to the most boring play in town. Hahaha.. im just being MEAN. Or maybe I dont know how to appreciate plays with strong cockney accent. Even dimples fell asleep after the interval. Hmmmm... Imagine if he fell asleep on our first date?? hahahaha... But I must applaud the singing though the entire play was simply too simple and boring. Thank goodness we didnt have to pay. If not, I would have screamed.

Body Balance - will i like it more than Combat

For once (I think), i never sweat in gym. Yesterday Chelsea and I went for BBalance in Curve and man, was I impressed with the new Mind & Body Studio. But that's not why Im not sweating la. It was not a streneous class actually. Except for the pain on the thighs, BBalance was rather wat we Chinese people call "wet wet water".

Maybe the tracks Riyo taught was easier. Then again, how can I say? I never been to the class for ages. But I feel really relaxed after that. Oh wells, If I only find enough time to go to gym

p/s: And yes please go check out the new studio. Its very impressive.

PORKY QUEEN RETURNS

Time sure flies this year and the last time I took a peek into this blog was 2 months ago. I really have abandoned this poor "child". So its back to do some blogging...

Yes, so much have happened during this time....

1) Work still the same except Im doing "more" now and have less time for a lot of things but I guess the effort will pay off eventually.. :D I have a vision and I am working towards it. It's definitely not a dream. I KNOW.

2) dimples and I are still together. Still going strong and touching 5 months. :D We will be leaving for Phuket end June for a holiday with Baby Bunny.. muahahaha... my 2nd holiday this year... hmmm, where next?

3) Not been going much to the gym (only once a week) for BCombat or whatever class that comes along.. But my poor back has been aching and I noticed after BCombat. So maybe I should try less extreme classes like BBalance? That SUCKS. And not when the new release will be out soon.

4) Some friends say I am losing weight and my face looks sharper *blink blink*.. that's seems to be good news since my gym sessions are lesser these days and I am still eating like normal. I have a lot of feeding time k. Already, I am hungry now..

so off to tapau some food and I will try and return for more updates...

Sunny Day...Happy Day

What I felt? Surprised but definitely happy. Dimples know that work has been on a downhill last week and the sunflowers were motivation to keep me going. I know! How sweet!!! I guess when you least expect it, you will treasure it even more. My first flowers from him and he remembered what I like.... But i decided not to remove it from the packaging and transfer to a vase. Cos not like I have a big space on my table anyhow. :P Thank you sweetie for the sweet thoughts. Muacks.

p/s: i need to have skills to preserve my bouquet cos poor flowers will die in my hands...

I love being pampered...

I have been slacking so much that I have not been to gym regular enough lately. Well, cant blame da Queen when she has to make a living. But at least, I have tried Body Combat 31 last Friday. Frankly, the track was not that hard. Either that, my stamina has improved. Muahahahaha..... and best part is, some said I lost weight.. even though I haven't been visiting the gym....

Skipped gym on Sunday as I have an overdue appointment with my manicurist. Thanks to Baby Bunny for her giving me her spa pedicure voucher at Amante. And since I had to wait anyway, I added french manicure.

And this is me getting bored waiting for my nails to dry...

The outcome.. Voila.....

Guess its worth the 2.5 hours for such delicate and polished finger and toe nails... And poor dimples had to wait for an hour as I have not expected to take so long.

Now you know!!! Keep your bfs at home when you have your nails done. Maybe to fix your study table... hehe.. since I have such delicate finger and nails, I just watched the man in action.

I feel so pampered - all in one day... hehe

Queen of Gamblers

Before I forget, this I got to blog.

I haven't not been to gym on Monday for the longest time. Plus, I haven't done BPump for I think what we call half a year. So after BCombat, I continued my back to back class with AW in BPump. As usual, I kept to the usual lightest donuts available and even that is hurting as I am not used to it.

So fast forward.. after gym, headed to mamak session with TT, AW and JW. Was telling the boys how hard BPump was and AW had to contribute by saying "Heloo... the donut is only 1/2 kg each la."

But I know it was not. It was 1kg each. But boys being boys just wont believe da Queen. Plus, I was so certain cos I just use them and saw the "1 kg" there. And without hesitation, our dear gambler friend, TT offered a bet. RM100 worth of makan-makan if its not 1kg.


Well, I have nothing to lose since Im 90% sure that it was 1kg.


And guess who won???

CINA New Year

So what happens during CNY? Makan, Minum, Tidur, Rehat, Judi.....

Of course, we had a simple reunion dinner which mom whip out for her children who cant possibly cook.
Then you have the house visiting on CNY where we collect angpows from the married ones. And of course, attack their cookies and oranges There will also be gambling with the relatives where you try to win their angpowsAnd of course, what is CNY without Loh Sang??

Bangkok Shopping Trip

What do you call a person who goes to BKK every year? I cant help to mention that this is my 3rd consecutive year there. Each year, the trip involve some sort of shopping and eating. No sightseeing usually. Not much to blog apart that i think my trip was definitely worth it. My empty luggage bag returned with 15kg of 20 tops, 15 pants, 6 pair of shoes, 4 bags, some lingerie and loads of accessories. Not to mentioned i had even stock up shampoos from Boots. What to do. They dont call it CNY shopping for nothing.

Sigh. I miss Bkk already.

Slack Queen

I know I have not been Blogging but thats cos Im very tied up at work plus I just came back from a short shopping spree in Bangkok. Yeah, love that country for their clothes, shoes, bags and accessories. And of course FOOD. Will update more very soon.

Senn's BBQ Birthday Party

This is quite a backdated entry. No thanks to the birthday boy only sending me the pictures today. Senn invited us over for a BBQ at his place and despite the pouring rain, we still managed to get our asses there.

So after pigging out on all the food, nothing will ever stop the gamblers from earning some pocket money for the upcoming CNY. And guess who was the God of Gambler that night?

Yup, time for some candle blowing and cake cutting. The cake almost caught fire k. No joke.

Happy belated birthday to you, Senn. You are officially 26 years old now.

Movies and Theatre

It's been a while since dimples and I went to the cinema. Last Saturday, we watched Berbagi Suami and Epic Movie back to back. No regrets definitely. Both movies were worth watching and provided great entertainment.

Berbagi Suami talks about polygamy issues faced by Indonesian women today. 3 different stories and how each of them are connected somehow. While the Indonesian accent was a bit strong, the subtitles helped and demonstrated a great but twisted lives of humans in this modern society.

Epic Movie was on the other hand a lighter film. Compressing various characters from various movies like Harry Porter, Nacho Libre, Click, Narnia, Pirates of the Carribean, Epic is really a good laugh and a good de-stress. Way silly but who says anything about watching only deep movies.

And on Sunday, watched Okiku: A Tragedy Retold at KLPAC with mom and sister. Reason Number One (and prob the only one) for watching: Cousin is the director so much show support le.. Good show but the venue is just too far le. And I dont like horror flicks.
Still.. the movies are cheaper but the performing arts offer you a more personal touch. Maybe I should just stick to DVDs...
yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn..................

Blogger Skills Needed

I really should be careful what I write next time. Refering to my previous entry, I think I over-exaggerated sometimes. From the comments I received, I think my friends misunderstood what I was trying to say. I dont blame them. I wrote the entry ma.

Nothing serious happen. In fact, nothing happen at all. It was the slightest problem. In fact, if da Queen dont get fed, thats an even BIGGER problem. Honestly, I think I should really scrutinise my entries and make sure it does not contain false reporting. Or inaccurate reporting.

I may get sued.

Then again, if i do, I get MNG aka Uncle Lim to solve that for me :P And that if he never again FFK Lady Di and I for dinner.

Not perfect after all...

The moment when I called him after gym felt like I have been in a relationship for ages. It's the feeling where couples start losing temper at each other. Shocked! Confused! And Sad! Why shouldn't I be? Especially when you have done nothing wrong and was just there to be a punching bag for someone's anger.

But I soon realise he must have a bad day. And John Gray once said, when someone is angry and not at their best, dont add to the flames. Just hug him and let the person you are there. I guess that works. Cos dimples was ok as soon as we left Curve.

So he is not perfect. And so am I. We have our flaws. Our dark sides. He complains. He sighs. Who doesn't? I will be worried if he keeps everything to himself. At least he shares not only his happiness but also anything that troubles him. I wouldnt say I like him being angry and shortfused. Im just not used to it. Im short tempered too. And im sure he puts up with my weaknesses as well.

So I guess that makes him special. Though not perfect.

Combat in Manulife

Lady Di and I made plans to go FF Consplant. But at 6pm, she msn me and said she prob cant make it in time for Combat. So she will have to ffk me. And I ffk Doug before that and told him I cant make it to FF Manulife. Muahahaha.. so i quickly msn the dude and told him my reverse plan.

It's been a while since I step foot into FF Manulife. But decided to attend CC's Combat yesterday and thankfully the class was not as packed as I tot it would be. I mean there were not a lot of people but just good enough to make the studio look like a pack of sardines. As usual, the class was good though I think I find it hard to adapt to the small area unlike Curve and Consplant studios. And rushing for 6.45pm class can be quite a nightmare. And I cant stand the sit-up track towards the end. Sound like a broken record and really gave me a bad headache.

Joined Karen for one track in BJam. But my poor strawberries was probably dying in the car. So had to go. Anyway, BJam is not my favourite. And surprise surprise Lady Di turned up in Manulife. But she was heading to RPM. Silly gal... hehehe...
