Breaking Free.

Finally, our semester examination ended horribly.
I could hear that everyone is complaining, of course, including me.

Who cares, it is holiday now!
Well, this holiday could be a little bit different from the past ones.
My wife² and i decided to capitalise on this opportunity for our studies.
But of course, there are times to play, shopping and mainly, eating.

Hmm, although it is just the start of my holiday, but my tummy have grown bigger.
Jeez, it is the truth of live, you pay for what you get.
You eat more, you are 'unhealthier', in other words, you stand higher chance to be obese.


After the bad ones, there come the good ones.
Example, a rainbow, just like what i have snapped down with my phone.

Yesterday, my family and i welcomed my brother's return with a special meal.
We had our meal at an extraordinary coffee shop, as it is a 'swampside Kopitiam', located at the famous Tan Jetty.
Be careful with your steps when you are there.


Nice view from Tan Jetty.


The Kopitiam.


Its famous Siam Laksa. Tasted really good!


Deep-fried vegetables and mushrooms.


Fisk cakes.


Claypot Dang-Hun (in Hokkien).


One of the best Thai delicacies, Tom Yam.

I am just reviewing this coffee shop, not recommending it to you all.
This meal cost us 99 bucks, damn expensive!
If you insist to try, better fulfill your wallet before you do so.


Okay, i am starting my another chapter of my eating spree now.

Today, my wife² and i did some window shopping which we haven't done that for quite some time.
We felt so happy, looking around and of course, eating this and that.
Finally, we have done what we always wanted to do, that is try out the newly opened restaurant, Chicago Rib House, at Gurney Plaza.
Of course, fish was for my wife² and pork was for me.
Why i did not choose pork or beef ribs?
Dude, I am broke, but will definitely try them out next time.


'Cheese!'


I got myself armed with fork and knife!


My wife² with her bottomless cranberry juice.


Soup of the day, potato soup. Undiluted!




I totally forgotten its name, something like Swiss Pork Burger or whatever, recommended by the waitress.
The main point was on the pork.
It was well-grilled, crispy on the outside, soft in the inside.
Pricing at around 19 bucks, awesome!




Well, we cared about tastiness but not names.
This was grilled blackened catch or whatsoever.
I highly recommend this to you, heavenly good.
It is so much better than those in Manhattan Fish Market.
Pricing is reasonable, around 20 bucks.
Definitely worth for a try.


Finally, here came the dessert.
A flat, baked square of chocolate cookie, which had a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some hot chocolate toppings topped on it has been served.
Guess what? It cost 6.90 bucks, excluding taxes.
You can't get such a delicious and sweet brownie at this price at restaurants like this.
Thumbs up!


I'm in Love with Chicago Rib House!

When We're Fifteen.

Hmm, yup, this blog post is all about flashing back.
But, just to yesterday and not 3 years ago.
The 'fifteen' is in terms of months, it means that we have been together for exactly 15 months.
Time is armed with a pair of wings, it flies.
In instant, we have been bonded for approximately 453 days if i did not do the maths incorrectly.
Congratulations to my wife² and myself, haha.

Well, is there any celebration?
Of course, we celebrate our every monthly anniversary all the time.
But for this 15th month anniversary's celebration, it was a special one.
We did not eat much today, as we spent a lot of money on shopping.
Let me introduce you all to our 453th day.

Hmm, my wife² and i woke up with a good and happy mood.
After getting myself prepared, unfortunately, it started to rain.
The raindrops kept coming down with a very high frequency.
In other words, it was a heavy rain.
Aikss, what can i do? Sitting there quietly, begging for the rain to stop.

Thank God, it stopped and the blue sky cleared up after the shower.
I felt the adrenaline and quickly, i jumped on my bike and sped off to meet my wife
².

After short hours of waiting, we have finally met.
My wife
² was wearing the new shirt which i bought her for the 15th month anniversary.


Oh God, we were starving and later we full-filled our stomach with Dim Sum.
We had never have Dim Sum after we were in college.
Thumbs up!





Yam Cha with my wife², enjoyed it.

What are our best pastime? No doubt, it is shopping and we are movie freaks!
We went to Gurney Plaza and enjoyed the movie which the main character looks like me.
Haha, it was the Shrek Forever After.
A hilarious movie, bringing the messages of appreciation and family love.
The Shrek family is just like ours, sweet and cute.

Just after the movie finished, the shopping spree began!
We lofted around until our legs are so pain and we are so bored of the mall.
Our 'effort' resulted in a positive way for our own, and negative way for our economy status.
My wife
² bought me a FIFA World Cup tee while she too, bought herself some cosmetic products after a discount of 50%.
I, who is always not 'faithful' with shirts that i want, finally found an ideal formal/casual long sleeves shirt for myself.
My wife
² said i look great on that, i wonder is that true or not, blek.
She was so keen on a pink and white stripes cardigan, but it was priced at 150 bucks, sad for her.


Vain times.


**restricted**

Haiz, we were intending to try out the newly opened Chicago Rib House.
Due to economic problems, we made up our mind and decided to try it next time.
As we were so tired and so bored, we called it a happy day.

I truly believe that our bond will last forever.
Anyway, our bond doesn't need much effort to conserve it.
We are happy all the time and we live our very own sweet life.
As long as there is my wife
², there is me.
We are one.
Take a look at the top of my blog.
We shared a heart.
One heart, one love, one world!

Lastly, a happy 15-month birthday to our relationship!
And, dear, you are every woman in the world to me.
You are my, only one.


I Swear..

Full of The Joys of Spring.

I love my life and i do live my life well.
It seems that my life has string of joyful events.
Let me recall back what my wife², my family and i have celebrated last week.
Erm, if i am not mistaken, it was the Mother's day.
And, tomorrow is my parents' 23th wedding anniversary but we decided to celebrate it today due to convenience.
Wow, in a blink of an eye, it was the 16th of May, 6 more days to go to a special and meaningful day for my wife² and i.
Of course, we are awaiting!

I don't understand why whenever there is a happy event, eating is part of the celebration.
Maybe i am starting a poll right here.
Do we eat to live or live to eat??

How my family celebrated the anniversary? Makan again lo.
In the evening, we went to the famous Hao You (好友) restaurant, located at Teluk Kumbar for seafood dinner.

Today's main characters, sweet-nya!


My brother, with his newly bought Nikon D3000.


My wife², making a face along with her mini coconut.


Arrogant style of eating Satay.


Beautiful sunset and warm sand even made the seafood and the atmosphere better.

Nothing much to comment on the food, as there were many dishes.
Please don't refer to the pictures below if you are starving.

Seafood birthday mee. They added too much pepper.


I have no idea what it is called.


Steamed alcoholic lala (clam), unique, thumbs up!


Deep fried squid, quite nice.


Satay, good in quality but not quantity.


Lastly, baked crabs, crowned among all the seafood.

Eating makes people happy.
This statement is the source of obesity, i guess.
Well, my wife² and i are awaiting for this Saturday.
But still, we are planning the activities for the day.
Although it is almost one week from now, but i am pretty sure that we both will enjoy our day.
Why? Cause love is on the air!


Live & Don't Stop Eating!
