Project 52 - Week 5 (10/8/09 - 16/8/09)

Monday - Went to the farm after lunch with mum and dad. It rained and we were all soaking wet.

Tuesday - Meeting up with the Omega-ians at Old Town Kopitiam, Taipan. *click*

Thursday - Went for MICCOS 09 with my dad in MAEPS, Serdang. Nothing interesting this time round since its focused on Oil Palm, Tabacco, Rubber, Timber and etc. Got to see what a tabacco plant look like though. After the exhibition, went to the farm to see the progress of dad's Passion Fruit preject.

Friday - Attended Food and Hotel Malaysia 2009 at KLCC with my family. I was a culinary student for a day eating like I haven't eaten for days there. Food samples were really good. Loved the dark chocolates from Beryl's and the lamb from another booth. Scratched the estima against a lorry today, I think its around the same time of the year that I drove over a drain.

Saturday - PD! - Dad's company trip + Seminar on Lean Management. Had to wake up really early because we had to be in PD before 9.30am. Couldn't check in to the hotel(Corus Paradise Resort) as the rooms were not ready yet so we were served breakfast before the seminar. Had lunch and BBQ dinner at the hotel. Dinner was okay but lunch was horrible. Before dinner, we surveyed PD town and Lukut for food. Nothing interesting again. Last trip to PD in March was dissappointing too. Oh, and missed the sunset too. So no pics... Rest of the pics will be up in the next post.

In conclusion, PD isn't that worthwhile going to. No good food, beaches are horrid and hotels are old and dirty! Hotel review; Poor - Poorly maintained, looks good from the outside but rooms, food and service are very poor. Next morning, breakfast at the hotel and then we left early. Stopped by Seremban for lunch before heading to the farm, grandparent's place and then home. Even Seremban would be a better place to visit. Food there are to die for! :)

Warning! - If you are hungry, don't scroll down.

(just some of the photos from FHM 09, was trying out some lomo effect tutorial I found on the internet. Didn't follow that though, was trying out something new and I totally love the contrast it gives. All photos are from the cybershot.)

Week 4's photos

Pao from Khiew Enterprise, Dengkil. Prefer this compared to the other second one from Tanjung Sepat.

This one is Hai Yew Heng, Tanjung Sepat. Read online that its hainanese pao. What's the difference between this and the rest? Shall google to find out later. They have more than 8 different flavours.

Both stalls have been visited and reviewed by many famous tv shows and celebs. Want to try them out yourself? PM me for address or way to get there!

Restaurant Kelapa Ikan Chan Sow Lin

Dated: 25/7/09

The fish head was really good! I'm not really a fan of fish heads, but this was exceptionally tasty.

Location? Its somewhere among the factories, next to a monsoon drain.

Project 52 - Week 2 (20/7/09-26/7/09)

There you go, Week 2. I should have started Project 12 instead. Blogger took ages to upload the photos and I kept getting distracted. :)

Monday - Pancakes drenched with honey.

Tuesday - Another visit to the dentist again. I was thinking it might have been a gum infection of some sort, but the doctor told me it that it was nothing. Then I insisted that it was really painful, he drilled through the previous filling and tells me that the tooth is cracked. So now, I have two options to choose from; Root Canal Therapy or Extraction. Both painful, but I would obviously prefer saving the tooth.

Baked cupcakes

Was too lazy to grab my DSLR. So there goes, pics using the phone camera.

Wednesday - Watched Bruno, I would say its probably the sickest movie ever. I was on soft food and painkillers for a few days then. At first, the pain was bearable but a day after the visit to the dentist it was really bad.

That comment from Omair cracked me up. Of all people!

Thursday - Had dinner with the family in Bangsar for sis's bday. Darn, I forgot the name of the restaurant but it was Korean BBQ Buffet. Food was pretty decent for a buffet. Came home smelling like burnt charcoal. That's probably the reason why I dislike BBQs, even at home. Too much hassle of preparing, cooking and the cleaning up.

Most decent shot of the food. We were too hungry! :)

Don't ask why its Sesame Street...

Friday - Went for my first visit for Root Canal Treatment. Dr. Voon was really nice, she clearly explained everything before the procedure and then gave a few jabs to numb my cheeks and gums. The whole process wasn't painful at all, only towards the end before she said she found the nerves all clumped up together. Next visit in a week's time and it would be an hour long!

Went down to KL for supper, Teo Chew porridge behind Times Square! No pics...
