Before starting a new entry, I want to wish all my readers a Happy New Year 2009! I hereby wish all my readers a happy, healthy and prosperous year ahead! Sorry for the late wish though!
In this entry, I would like to share how I spent the rest of the 2008 after my Christmas, and how I celebrated New Year. On the 26th, I paid a visit to Genting with my dear cousins. It’d been so long since I spent some quality time with them. So long that I din realize all of them are besar panjang already. Andrew had even developed a very coarse voice. It’s actually scary that he’s getting this tall. Maybe the next time I see him, he’ll even be taller than me.
They're all like brothers and sisters to me!
(Clockwise starting from me) Andrew, Jasmine, Jocelyn, Eunice, Janice, Dominic.
I just hope Andrew don't grow any taller than the clown.
I don’t know whether it’s my luck or what, but it always rains when I visit Uncle Lim’s empire. So, as usual, I ends up all wet. They should really change the tagline from “It’s fun at the Peak!” to “It’s raining at the Peak!” But being wet once in a while is fun nevertheless.
Prepare your umbrella if you're going to Genting Highland during December.
But one thing I really hate about Genting Highlands is the price and the taste of the food. They don’t taste nice, and they are hell expensive. When I say they don’t taste nice, I mean the foods are really tasteless. Really tasteless to the level where you’re complaining from the moment you start to consume the food until you finish the food. It’s actually like they’re out of salt or something. Duh, how I hate bad food. Luckily, my aunt sponsored me my dinner. If I 'd to pay that much for lousy food, i think I'd be cursing nonstop. I do heard people saying that there are good foods at Goh Tong Jaya. But then again, I heard it’s even more expensive. Hmph…
This stupid ugly tasteless "Taiwanese Beef Noodles" cost my aunt RM19.90. Luckily got people belanja.
On the 31st of Dec, we planned to go lepak somewhere, and the plan is to plan while we’re on the way. You know how planning on the way is so ineffective. So, we went over to fetch Sze Mun at Bandar Tun Razak, then due to the traffic jam all over KL, we went over to Kajang to have some satay. Although we chose Kajang because we’re trying to avoid the whole traffic jam thing, the route to Kajang is stuck as well.
I have no idea why Kajang’s satay is so damn popular. Seriously! What happened to the succulent juicy Kajang satay I’d heard of before? Been there twice, and I still think it sucks. Their satay daging’s had an elastic texture. So feels so elastic that you might think you’re chewing some kind of cheap-made-in-china-bubblegum. Its taste sucks badly. The only thing is there to save the famous Kajang’s Satay is its kuah kacang. If it wasn’t for the kuah, I would’ve been pissed off by bad food again.
I guess Kajang Satay wanna join the Christmas fun by making Christmas-tree-shaped-satay!
After satay at Kajang, we went over to Sunway for countdown. Hmm… We did not purchase the pass to the New Year party there, so we just hung out outside Sunway Pyramid, where the entrance to Sunway Lagoon is visible. From where we were, we only get to see some nice fireworks when the clock strikes 12. That mark the end of year 2008, and a whole new year begins! 2009, here we come!
Fireworks at Sunway! Happy New Year y'all!
I ended up drunk that night. Too much Martell, too much beer and too little satay. Crap, I basically drank the liquor with an empty stomach. It’s really embarrassing. I did not have any recollection of what I did the next morning when I woke up. Phew… No more liquor for me. At least not with an empty stomach anymore.
Let’s skip that part. I don’t want to tell you what I did when I wasn’t conscious. Hahaha… So, let’s continue at somewhere interesting. On the New Year’s evening, I spent my time at One Utama with Aj and Sze Mun. We’re there because we couldn’t decide on where to go for a nice ‘New Year Dinner’. So, I suggested that we go over to Dave’s Pizza Pasta Vino. It’s not like I dine there before, I just read about them at Kenny Sia’s blog. Kenny is saying that their non-halal pizza and pork belly kicked ass and everything so I thought “Why not give it a try?”
We’d a hard time deciding upon the menu, and in the end it was really Aj that make the decisions. I enjoyed my meal there. The 4-cheese-pizza is a little ordinary, but overall it’s satisfactory. I won’t border you with the details of the food, but if you intend to read more about them, I suggest you read Kenny’s blog. It’s the reason why I paid Dave a visit anyway.
I felt full and satisfied. My taste buds are finally satisfied. You really have to try the turkey yourself. It’s succulent, and juicy. Not like the ordinary dry and hard turkey we always have. The turkey is my favorite dish of the night. Even blogging about it makes my mouth watery.
What we ordered? Quadro Pizza, Turkey and Pork Belly. Sweet!
The food at Dave's is so nice that you might wanna go to bed as soon as you finish them!
Also, the very same night, I watched Bedtime Stories. At first I thought “Adam Sandler and Disney??? That's a weird combination!”
Still I watched it because Chanel said it’s quite nice. Then it crossed my mind that even The Rock and Disney turns out fine in The Game Plan, so i gave it a green light. It turns out to be really nice, although it doesn’t make sense in some part. But hey, which comedy makes sense anyway? Yes Man doesn’t make sense at all, so yes, and watch it!
I guess this is already a very long post, so I'll stop here. Happy New Year again!
