Yi King's Birthday

Woon Shen called me one day and asked me to decide where to eat to celebrate King's birthday. He say location around Sunway and Subang. I was like, umm... hard task as not sure where is the best place. But thank goodness as King himself have selected a place ^_^ It is a Japanese restaurant in Northpoint, Midvalley. I do not know why but it seems we are all cool with Japanese and I think I'm one of those Japanese food freaks too ^_^

It was then decided to meet on Friday at 7pm at NinJa Jones Izakaya, Northpoint, Midvalley. It was raining that evening and I got my colleague Lucas to drop me off. I was so scare I'm the last but thank goodness I'm not. Elaine was about to kill me as I say I would be heading there early but I waited for Lucas to drop me and got stuck in the jam.

The last to arrive was our businessman Jeff. He travels a lot for one thing but to me, he is successful. Same goes to King also. It seems he got promoted so it was double celebration for the night. Woon Shen came with his girlfriend, Carine (hope I spell it correctly) and they are a loving couple. The table setting was nice as we got a room for our little function ^_^

Elaine was like a leader as she has been there before. So Elaine lead us to what to order. Along with her, King also been there before I think and was telling us to order. We each order a dinner set then King and Elaine decide on the side dishes. Woon Shen was funny as we decide on how the Kobe beef was to be cook. Everyone agree on medium cook while Woon Shen keep saying well cook =.= So majority wins and the way Woon Shen make sure his meat was well done was funny. He took the one at the bottom and left it there to be cook longer on the hot plate.

The food was fantastic and we were all bloated. Elaine and I then went to the toilet. I was surprise at the toilet. It is huge but mostly because the toilet bowl was imported from Japan. It has those button to wash your butt and dry your butt ^_^ This is the first time I see it. I know I sound like a 'sakai' but I just can't help it. When we went back to our room, I just told the others and the 3 guys went and check it out =.=

After a wonderful meal, when the bill arrive, King paid for it =.= I was thinking we are the one to treat the birthday boy but it became vice versa. He claims that he is promoted and he is the one that should pay for the meal =.= This gives me a headache as I do not know what to get him for his birthday =.= Doesn't matter, that one leave to Elaine to think. Just before we left, we took a group picture with the Ninjas and the swords.

Our New Trainer

It is one of those days where I finish early and wait for Lucas and Eugene as they only can go back at 6.30pm. Since training was in progress, I went and join them after work. Eugene was about done as he left with a few more mails but decided to go and join training also. They were trainng webcams. So, Eugene and I went up and join training.

Once in the training room, Daniel just ask Eugene why not try training the new people as Eugene is known as the webcam expert. So Eugene took up the role and I became their modal in the class where he capture picture and video of me to show the class about the webcam software =.=

After training, I wait for Eugene a while then we head back home. The journey home is always good as it is filled with laughters. Before this I remember when Eugene tried driving manual up the sloop and the car roll down in sloop when he tried to do balancing. Hahaha... We laugh non-stop that time. But now he is pro in it. But for tonight, Lucas was driving real fast and Eugene actually scream. Hahaha... He is scare and this is the first time I see it also. Hahaha... Now we know that Eugene is really a slow and cool driver ^_^

Penang Trip

This is one rare occasion that I took leave from work. Hahaha...Reason : Father's birthday ^_^ It is a must to take leave to go home since they are not coming down to KL. Besides that, my sister have an interview with Intel, Penang. So it make it a good coincident to take leave to go home ^_^

I went home on Sunday after lunch and then head off to Penang as my sister's interview is on Monday. This give us the advantage as not to worry to get stuck in the jam when heading to Penang and get to sleep more ^_^ My dad book a room in Evergreen hotel at Gurney Drive. It is one of our favourite hotel I think as this is the hotel that my dad would book when we go to Penang.

When we reach Penang, it was raining and I'm the unfortunate one driving =.= Somehow, I manage to get to the hotel to check-in before heading out for dinner. Once we freshen up, we went to Pasar Pulau Tikus for Lok Lok, pork satay and other delicious food ^_^

After a nice meal, back to the hotel where I conquer the internet line before heading to bed. I end up sleeping with my sister and her toys =.= A polar bear, Slyvester and her favourite dog, Maggie.

The next morning I was awaken by my sister who got ready for her interview. But lucky me as I get to go for free buffet breakfast with my dad as both my mum and sister didn't want to eat. I had fun eating but there was not much variety. But I was happy with what I had. Once breakfast is done, my parents and sister head off to Intel while I happily on my laptop and went online ^_^

It was a rainy morning and it was cold. I manage to take some picture from the room window. The scenary was beautiful as I hardly get to look at mountains in KL and the way it rain on the island and in the big city is different ^_^

It was lunch when my parents and sister came back. It was check-out time. So pack everything and went for lunch. We went to a shop known as Eden for lunch then went to Queensbay Mall to shop. It is my first time there while it is the million time for my sister as it is her hang out place when she was doing her internship in Intel.

We shop a while then my sister went to send a DHL package to a friend. She went off to send while I walk round with my mother. It was a dull 2 hours as I couldn't find the things I wanted. In the end, I only bought 2 t-shirts for casual wear. It was around that time when my sister finish her errand and my uncle and aunty came to join in for dinner.

Dinner was at TGI Fridays. I do not know wht occasion but it was to celebrate something. We went in and when the waitress asked if it is anyone's birthday, my uncle pointed at my sister. Hahaha... She was praying hard that they would forget but it seems they didn't. At the end of the delicious meal, they came and sang and did their traditional TGI Friday's birthday celebration. My cousin Edwin went and join in the fun as she accompany my sister to stand on the chair and sing song. 

At the end of dinner, it was late and we head home but got stuck on the bridge. We have no idea what caused it but it took double the time to go home Taiping than the usual one and a half hours. It was a fantastic trip and it was enjoyable since I haven't had such holiday for a while.
