Ikan bakar attack!

Mmmm.. I ate ikan bakar for 4 days in a row... last Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Should've bring my camera & take pictures of all the 4 days' ikan bakar that I ate... Unfortunately I only remember to take on Saturday... with 4 pair of hands... waiting to dive their fork and spoon while I take a quick snap. Here are the pictures... :)


The fish


The sotong


and.. the la-la

Crown Jewel Hotel, Penang - 4 star???

Well... that's what I heard, though I'm not quite sure the 4 star is on which part of the hotel. Personally, there are a few things as to why I dont quite agree.


  1. The floor carpet is dirty. There are red spots on the carpet
  2. The ONE additional electrical point is faulty. I had to pull off the light connection to boil water, to charger mobile phone charger
  3. 2 way pin cannot go in the electrical point. Hence I cant charge my camera battery which explains why I didnt take many of the hotel picture
  4. There is no kettle in the room. I called the reception, they told me to call room service. I called room service, I'm told to call housekeeping. Fine, maybe I did call the wrong extension but after waiting for 20-30 minutes, nobody come knocking at the door. I was hungry (no lunch), I went out of the room as coincidentally saw some housekeeping staff cleaning the few rooms down, I requested for a kettle. The staff casually open the door of a room & passed me the kettle inside.
  5. The electric point of the kettle is broken but usable. Well.. since can use.. still tolerable.
  6. The toilet is dirty. Can practically see that the toilet bowl is yellowish in colour. Tsk.. tsk..
  7. There is no hair dryer in the room. My sister rang housekeeping for a hair dryer. We are already lying in bed almost dozed off and her hair is almost dry and someone knocked the door, only then the hair dryer came.
  8. The basin is clogged up. If you have a weak stomach, then dont look at the basin right after someone brushed their teeth... leave it for say... at least 30 minutes.
  9. The coffee table is sticky and dirty. I had to clean it myself before dare to put anything on it.
  10. The menu in the restaurant indicated nett price but the staff informed us that we need to pay 10% service tax & 5% government tax. After we complained a few times... they didnt charge us.
  11. The ones more tolerable are - there is no remote control in the room (despite the apparently 4 star), the air con is not cold, one of the lamp in the room is faulty.

There you have it.. to sum it up, not recommended. By the way... its not cheap either oh...

Boys like Girls who are thin

True? Not true? Depends? (I think people like that answer... depends :p)
Anyway - I quote that phrase from Ino, Naruto Episode 192. I know, I know, the lastest episode of Naruto is at Episode 195, just that I'm a little backtracked, havent finished watching yet. In fact just finished watching Episode 192 a couple of minutes ago.

The story is somewhat like this...
Ino and Naruto was sent to a mission to another village where the princess has gained some weight before her date with a feudal lord's son (Chikara-sama). This princess (Princess Fuku) sent over her thin picture over to Chikara-sama before the big date day, and while waiting for the big day, she was a bit too nervous and indulged in too much food at night. Somehow she looked like Ino (before putting on the kilogrammes), hence wants Ino to be her double to capture Chikara-sama's heart.

To cut the story short, there's chaos cos this Chikara-sama himself is not exactly thin and of course, not Ino's cup of tea. Also coupling with Naruto's changing himself to look like Princess Fuku and do funny funny stuff. Story ended with Princess Fuku showed herself and Chikara-sama love the fatty version of her.

Of course, Ino was a little hurt. In that episode, she said, "My virgin soul is scarred" :P

So, back to it, "Boys likes Girls who are thin". Is it true? What say you?

Hanging out at Kuchai Lama

Last Friday, I went out to eat with Bay Bee Dino at Kuchai Lama. Bay Bee Dino likes those kedai kopi type of shop, so we went to try food in Old Town (something like that). She had nasi lemak and I already eaten company-provide-dinner, so I only ordered "pineapple bun". I remember it got some canggih name on the menu but I just can't remember what it is, but anyway its pineapple bun lar...


This is how it looks like, and between the top & bottom bun, there's a layer of butter. Yummy. Unfortunately, forgotten to take picture of the nasi lemak that Bay Bee Dino ate.

After that, we went to this shop, a few doors away. It is this newly opened stationery shop. I can hardly remember going to economical stationery shop in KL. Serious, you can get really affordable stationery there. Do check it out.
