The Soya Shop

I am blogging from The Soya Shop!

After gym, pass by the shop and decided to ta pau for two of my favorite person - MUM and K!

Of course, the famous chocolate tong yuen finish liao. So have to wait about 15 min to cook the frozen ones. Hopefully it will be all good at the end. ANYWAY - This is a great place to have instant tong yuen. Price about $3.90 per bowl for the tong yuen isn't very expensive. You get four filled tong yuen with very smooth soya milk.

Tong Yuen flavors ranges from lotus, coconut, red bean and chocolate. You get the order their soya milk too as a drink, or their soya bun ... or even tau foo faa!

Close to you - The Carpenters

Why do birds
Suddenly appear?
Everytime you are near
Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Why do stars
Fall down from the sky?
Everytime you walk by
Just like me
They long to be

Close to you

(*) on the day that you were born
The angels got together and decided
To create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moondust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

(**) that is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me
They long to be

Close to you

Repeat (*)

Repeat (**)

Just like me
They long to be
Close to you

Sushi ZianMai

NO OTHER! Best place to dine in ... I must say, one of the best place to have japanese food with great affordable prices. Mind you, even though their price is average, their food is absolutely delicious. Imagine the food taste is better than Sakae Sushi, but the price is around Sushi King / Genki Sushi. One of the best combination !

And the credit goes to their menu selection, where the quality is always maintained and above average. The only give away is that sometimes the Unagi or Salmon Sashimi thickness varies. Depends on luck, but I have been quite lucky lately.

People ask me, how often do you dine in ZianMai? My answer is about 3-4 times a month, usually more. Haha ... that's how much I love the place. Given credit for where it is due, the food is really nice and finger licking good.

Being a Japanese food whore I have journey enough for samples and I am very sure compared to others, they are fairly well off and deserve a visit. After all, I did spent then last few months going for most of the commercial-franchise "everyday-people" Japanese food and nothing beats this restaurant.

If that is not enough, Zianmai Sushi is actually own by the same boss who runs ZEN. YES! The fucking expensive and luxurious Japanese cuisine. I am quite sure the Chef pass some secrets on anyway.

Ok, enough of me selling. You can start eating ... their branches are at Sunway Pyramid, The Gardens and also One-Utama

In love with Bacharach???

I know I am! I bought this CD in Indonesia and have not stop listening to it ever since. One of the best easy listening Bosa Nova ever! Who ever that want to borrow this CD, please feel free to ask ... it has some of the best songs ever created ...

*Man, they should hire me as their brand ambassador


courtesty of *www.kabayancentral.com

Of course I would prefer those who can afford a CD to buy one. If you are a jazz lover, or even love song lover, or even a lullaby lover ... this CD is a MUST HAVE

Back after 30 Years

Three days since I am back from Indonesia. The trip was very fruitful. Although tiring at most time, the sense of achievement is there. Manage to secure many new clients, and most of them already started buying from us.

Good sign. Even our finance manager was quite happy with the sales for the past week

Market is there but of course, the potential for growth and factors would all soon be penalized due to the fact that our company is "manage" and "run" by monkeys. Well, sadly I have no further comment on it. As how Bettina might have put it ... I am numb, after being speared numerous times for something right I done.

Some of the best food can be found in JKT food court. Of course you wouldn't want to try their local street food! Unlike Thailand, JKT street food are much dirtier and scarier. Imagine eating at a hawker stall surrounded by hard labor indon workers. All desperate to jump onto you and take anything you have. Ok! I am overreacting, but you gotta see for your own self. Visit truly JKT!

Some of the food I down was Kodok (frogs) and Kelinchi (Rabbit!)

I know I am grouse ... but well, you only get to live life once!

The CDs are DAMN cheap. 55000RP !!!!! That sums up to less than RM25 for one CD. Well, I love em! And they have one of the most complete collection for Jazz and Audio Phils.

To sum it all up. It was nice to see JKT in my own eyes, travel a bit and the hospitality shown to me was great. Thanks AL for the great company and for introducing me to your wonderful family. May all of them are bless with great health and happiness. Till then, cheerios!

CULTURA SHOCK

Its amazing. When you think the population in KL or Bangkok is a lot. Wait till you see Jakarta! Every single road, small, big, highway, smallway, lanes, single streets, anything - you will find cars and bikes kissing bumper to bumper. They are like everywhere! People EVERYWHERE!

and ... SERIOUSLY - JAM!

One advise, do not even think about traveling with their public transport. Thorn buses with ripped off paints, falling number plate and shattered glass. Yes, their public bus is like that! Blue van with no door. YES! I repear NO DOOR ... so if they turn violently at a corner, you better be hold on to anything that is glued to the vehicle.

The way they charge is also absurb. No ticketing system, you ride along the way and once you get down, you pay as per your arrive. Easy way to trick and cheat tourist.

No wonder you can't find any whites traveling around the city. I was lucky enough to have Angel to pre-warn me all these stuff and rented a personal transport, which is WAY CHEAPER and way more comfortable.

OK - I should stop listing the bad things. Now, the good thing is:

Their culture and language are still very rich and persistent. Everyone here speaks beautiful indon english and when it comes to english, they can hold it quite well too. Of course, I am judging them based on the few clients I met today and also the waiters who has been serving me.
The thing I like the most about INDON is how well they treat each other's salutation. They still refer their peers, community, people and practically anyone by "pak" or "bu" which means sir or madam. Regardless of your status and level of income - standard salutation. Very nice and EVERYONE uses it. Including those samseng, gila people, muka-tembok and indon-ahlian-ahbeng. YES, they have that here too.

Well ... I am so going to fall sick soon. My headache is getting worse, my throat healing bit but my flu stays the same. GOSH - I wish I had more rest. Signing off and till then ...

*culture shock*

Indonesia - JKT - Here I come!

Less than 24 hours, I will be departing to Indonesia.

Been hearing all the precautions, advises and also dos and don'ts for my travel to Jakarta this time around. No worries - I will becareful and take care of myself! Thank you for the wishes

I hope my bad fever-flu will go away soon. After a few dosages of paracetamol, vitamin C and flu-meds along with my 10 hours sleep earlier , I surely hope it will help make me better. At times, I feel better ... but at times, the echo and pain can be felt around my joints and ears. I hope I wouldn't have to go see a doctor when touch-down or anytime between my visit.

*touch wood touch wood

I hope this coming business trip will do some good. At least shine a lil more in my own portfolio and expectations before I leave. Yes, even though lady boss already knows about my intention in resigning and also spoken to me openly about it, I am still following the plan

Either than work, I think I will miss all my friends. Obviously, lilpixie has been missing in action. Since her departure to Hong Kong till now, and then mine to Indonesia and before I come back ... she will be leaving to Thailand with her boiboi and a bunchies, I will most likely not meet her for the longest time in my INM serving periods.

Anyway, just in case if she reads this - I miss you k! You take care k! and if ever anything happens to me (since JKT is not really famous for their security, peace and serenity) ... I leave my will and belongings for you and my Ta Jie to settle. Hahaha

I am so dead if I come back alive ...

hugs ... miss you'all

ps - dear mum, dad, sis and baby, do take care. God bless my trip and safety ... god bless everyone I love too. Keep all of them safe and all good.

Back to basic Step class

I finally joined Step classes. AWESOME. I was taken aback that I still remember the steps. Although I was quite "all over the place" and was reluctant to move more advance. Overall, the adrenaline and excitement was peak. I am very glad the class did me good

Anyway, I actually sold 3 images already since last my first upload! Although not much but it was quite motivating for me to continue snapping more images!

Ok ... here are the images that I sold. Beginners, so mercy in the comments ya!
