pets

the norm for me would be a gold fish.. or those fighting fish.. or any kind of fish.. birds mayb or even those cute little sea turtles and I could possibly even tolerate frogs.. but the brother has taken it to the next level... I almost screamed when it jumped towards me... yes as evident from the picture.. its an iguana... IGUANA!!! but I admit the skin is a gorgeous mix of radiant green.. however it would be pushing my limits to touch it!

Sunday morning

the perpetrator who'd given me a ring at 6.30 am on a SUNDAY!!

I am just not much of a morning person... I need my sunday for longer sleep.. like waking up almost midday hahahahah

dragged kicking and screaming to jog on a SUNDAY MORNING!!!! the view helped... I was barely awake panting and sweating hiking up the hills..
I was so amazed at this.. first time ever I saw a genuine.. what we call titian, I only hear about it in books, poems and songs hahaha but to see it there is just so... wow to me. Mas couldn't figure out why I had to stop and take a picture, but I just had to, they might replace it with those modern construct of a "bridge" and I'd regret not marking this memory permanently in softcopy hahhaha
lalah-lalah pun sempat jua bergambar.. titik2 paluh macam orang lari marathon saja.. all in all it was fun and I guess I wouldn't mind doing it all over again... maybe.. if I absolutely must... drag myself out of bed so early on SUNDAY MORNING!

girls outing

aahhhhh nothing like an afternoon spent with the girls, just chlling and chit chatting, catching up for lost time... we had the high tea set at bakerlyn and trust me the set for two feeds four to five persons! we had a hard time trying to finish the food and it is sooo gewwd I tell you.

Sebenarnya kan makan di KIMCHI, the latest craze in dining experience.. but apparently they don't open til 6pm, so change of venue.. a tad dissapointed cos I was craving for korean food~

me and the girls striking a pose.. biasaler kalau bejumpa mesti take the customary photo ;)
back in college we had bird nicknames for each other, me and siti.. chic n duck respectively hahahah so when us cluck n quacks get together all hell breaks loose hahahah hilang segala keayuan hahahah hilang demure hahahahah but who cares! we always have a great time and that is all that matters :)

day 3

kaka drove us to dubai yesterday, nothing like going to miri though the distance it took was a lil further. the highway was so smooth, i drifted off on the way there. A lot of building projects going on and all the way from abu dhabi you could see so many things being build simultaneously. now thats development... kaka driving like a pro, trust me its quite intimidating to drive disana... mami cosily seated in the back, nampak macamkan doze off heheowh i took a vain pic in the car but I'd rather not show that... the pic I took in the ladies room, bisai tempatnya hahahahahahthe shopping mall with themes... the decor itself just... wowww.... I could just sit there and admire it for all its marvel the big elephant wish i cud sit at the top hahahaha basar yaw...

lawa shopping mall nya ani... its a shoppers paradise and starbucks is close by, so if u run low on energy there's always that amazing coffee they brew to boost it back up again :)

Abu dhabi~

thursday night me and mom flew off to a faraway land... hahahah don't that sound like a fairytale beginning... ouuuuhhhh it is to me ;)the view of the landing strip whilst the plane taxied to the terminal..our first dinner.... at chilis~ thank you ka :D kna belanja makan sja siukkkk eyhh eheheheh moms grilled salmon steak, a little over cooked but sooo sooo delish nonetheless
my babequed ribs... I can't begin to describe how tender, juicy and HUGE the meat is...basaaaaaaarrr cua liat basarnya with my hand... terbeliak mata meliat bila sudah sampai the dish... yes ka you weren't kidding when you said it'd be huuuuggge!! compare tia dengan grilled salmon tadi ahh damit usulnya kan kan.. hahahahhaha majal!
nachos anyone? nothing at all like what we have di brunei yang pakai bolognaise sauce, this is topped with three kinds of cheese, lightly grilled and sprinkled with pickled chili and in the centre of the dish a combo of sour cream and real salsa, now this is nacho! ouuhhhhh soooo nyamannnnn dejavu rasanya.. teringat bila meliat movie time-time belajar di london dulu mestitah mengorder nachos with cheese and salsa and ofcourse nda ketinggalan the pickled green chili.. beeeeesssstttt~

clam chowder... my tastebuds on the heal... so i could faintly taste the soup, its okay.. I'm still a cream of mushroom soup fan..

my ceasar salad... the portion aplenty, the dressing evenly coated on each salad leaf, the chicken tender yet crunchy... would've tasted a whole lot better if aku nda pahit liur...

the brother's toasted beef steak burger, plenty of side dish.

the other brother's mega burger... just look at the giant of a thing... scarey yet yummy hahahah if that makes sense...

half roasted chicken... I didnt think the brother could finish the whole thing...
