Baby Oliver Cheong

The last time when I saw baby Oliver Cheong was about 4 to 5 months ago .... back then, she was just a tiny little sweet baby. Last night when I saw Oliver, I was amazed with her transformation .... she has changed into a beautiful baby gal and definitely much more active !

We had a lovely dinner at Dragon-I in Queensbay Mall .... Bamboo Chicken Rice with Chinese Sausage, Fried Shanghai Noodles with Seafood, Salted Egg Prawns and "Kong Pow" Chicken were our selected menu. Overall, the food and service were good.

It was a good catch up session for all of us because we have not seen Sharon for quite some time already. One other reasons why we had to do it last night is because Sharon and Baby Oliver will be joining Stanley in KL next week ... for good ....

It's Better Late than Never !

Well, this has been outstanding for a long time ... I owe my dear friend Nanthini Sathasivam a blog on her farewell dinner. Nan, an affectionate name that we called her, has left us to pursue her career in Doho as a Director of Human Resources in Shangri-La Doha.

Prior to her departure, we did a double celebration i.e. our Christmas Gift Exchange and Nan's Farewell Dinner at Tarmizi, a Fusion Restaurant in New World Park. This is a new eatery place built by the Kwok's Family. There were six of us at the dinner, Dennis, Soo Theng and hubby, Jimmy, Angeline, yours truly and the star of the evening, Nan.

Nan's farewell gifts were quite interesting ... Soo Theng gave her a nice wall clock, while, I bought her an earring holder... and guess what ? Our dear brother Dennis also bought her a similar earring holder ! What a coincident ! We all had a good laugh looking at our farewell presents for Nan.

Clockwise : Jimmy, Soo Theng, Nan, Dennis, Angeline & Wendy

It has been a month plus since Nan's departure .... all of us miss her very much especially when we all get together for a meal or for a movie ... Until the next meeting ......

Voon Chong back to Malaysia !

Having worked and stayed in Shanghai for 5 months, Voon Chong finally came back to Malaysia to celebrate CNY with his family in KL and also his "extended family" in Penang. He was back on 5 Feb to KL and came for a short trip to Penang on 13 till 16 Feb 2008. Finally, on 18 Feb 2008, Voon Chong returned to Shanghai.

We were all excited to welcome Voon Chong back to his "2nd Home" at Dennis's apartment. Angeline was kind enough to fetch Voon Chong from KL to Penang on 13 Feb 2008 and they both arrived at 8.30pm. As it was already late, we just went for a quick Hokkien Mee dinner followed by coffee at Starbucks.

14 Feb 2008, we all met up for a lunch at Song River .... had Choo Char i.e. Rice and dishes (Fish Soup with Salted Veg, Guiness Chicken, Taufu with Egg Plant and Kai Lan. After lunch, we went to frame up all our oil paintings (3 pcs from Dennis and 1 pc from me). Directly opposite Blossom, the frame shop is Telekom Malaysia. This is where Dennis went to install his Steamyx for internet broadband. Voon Chong suggested that we all cooked for dinner and off we went to 7th Street Wet Market. We went to THP to meet up with Elaine, Alex Phua and a few others for coffee before heading to Soo Theng's apartment for our cook-out session. We cooked Tau Yue Bak, Boiled Cockles, Herbal Soup, Fried Cabbage and Microwave Tong Miow Veg. After dinner, we all played our notebooks, Chor Ti and Chit Chat. We called it a day at 4.30am !

15 Feb 2008, the whole gang met up with Elaine for lunch at Kapitan followed by coffee at Starbucks. I joined them at about 2.30pm. After coffee, we all headed to Gurney Plaza whereby Voon Chong went for a haircut while Soo Theng, Dennis and I went for a foot reflexology. After that, we all lepak at Starbucks for coffee and internet surfing. Soo Theng suggested that we "ta pau" hawker food back to her apartment of which, everyone agreed. Other than hawker food, we also take-away some Chocolate Brownies and Baskin Robbins ice cream. Again, we all ended up surfing internet from our respective notebooks. The evening ended early .... 12.30am !

16 Feb 2008, Soo Theng already balik kampung to SP, Dennis working and me on 1/2 day. Met up with Voon Chong at THP and off we went to SP for lunch with Soo Theng, Jordan and Jimmy before sending Voon Chong to airport for his 8.30pm flight !

Although Voon Chong's trip to Penang was short however, it was packed with lots of exciting activities .... We all hope to see Voon Chong again .... soon !

Yat Fatt, Yat Fatt !

Voon Chong and I drove down to Sungai Petani on Saturday, 16 Feb 2008 for a lunch at "Sei Kow" (Jimmy father's kopitiam). We had my favourite Seo Bak, Char Siew, Chilli Prawns and Squid, Chilli Padi Fried Pork and Seo Bak, Steamed Egg and the famous Steamed Fish. The food were excellent !

Oops ... forgot to mention ... while waiting for the above food to be served on our table, I have asked Jordan (Soo Theng's son) to help me to pick for some lucky lottery tickets sold by Jimmy. The tickets were then scratched for lucky numbers and out of 6 tickets purchased, two of them were with the no. 18. Jimmy suggested that I buy no 1818 for that day. I ended up buying that no. for two days. Guess what ? I striked RM500 for Sunday's draw !!!

Well, immediately, after lunch, we drove back to Penang because Voon Chong had to catch a flight back to Kuala Lumpur. Until the next makan-makan at Sei Kow's Place ........

My "Windows of the World"

After long consideration, I have finally decided to pamper myself by buying a Samsung 32" LCD TV, model LA32R81B. It was delivered to my room just before Chinese New Year, to be more precise ... 2 days prior.

Comparing with my old faithful Sony 21", this is definitely better in terms of it's clarify and size. Now, I can see all my Korean man clearer and they sure look more handsome !!!! He ! He ! He !

Sorry !

Just a short note to say ... I'm sorry for not up keeping my blog because I have been bitten by a "Lazy Bug". I will try to put some efforts to update my blog ..... soon ....
