Kin Kin lat jiu pan mee

my bro in law introduced this place to us many many years ago. and ever since then, we are hooked to it. each time we think about this place, we will be swallowing our saliva (hahaha... yeah man, that bad!) the chili pan mee served here is one of its kind, so far of all the others which we tried, this KIN KIN place still da best!

i remembered the 1st time we makan here, we became hero. put soooo much of the chili flakes till we behtahan, i think we drank 3 glass of ice drinks each of us. wahseh... bombastic! hahaha! so very the spicy, top up with the hot soup.... shiok nyer! and once we waited more than an hour for our pan mee, yet we still come back for more

the one we normally frequent is the branch in chow kit. and they have another branch in Pandan Indah which we will check out soon. nearer to us in fact, no need to brave the traffic jam towards chow kit on a weekday after work. gosh. for the love of this chili pan mee, we kena go thru hell of traffic, but... but... its soooo worth it!

good weekend

we were back to melaka for the weekend. wanted to go jonker street but it was raining on & off. on sat, went out with my parents & lil missy for lunch at this yong tau foo place at malim. oh sedap, till i forgot to snap pics. we also had char kueh teow & wan tan mee yang sememang-nyer yummy for tea time (aka early dinner) melaka food is always nice, no matter which corner u end up in, or maybe the corners i end up in is always nice. haha!

i went for a good 2 hours traditional massage, only rm68 which is so much cheaper than KL. wahseh, heaven! paid to be tortured. crazy man. my female masseur is a 28 yr old china lady, pretty & muscular. veli the strong! each point she pressed on my body, i felt the pain, which is not good. sigh. each time she went "oh tian ah, tian ah (oh lord, oh lord) ... everywhere pain" she said im too tired, need to sleep early, drink lesser cold water. do more exercise... bla bla bla. i say, i will come visit you often then. hehe!

this massage place is just opposite Equatorial Hotel, just in town. they have 60 masseurs working & that place is really big. different sections for male & female, they even have fish spa. will go again in my next trip back to melaka. so need it man. till today, my back still aches a bit, but i feel better.

since it's all about food, this was our dinner yesterday. our favourite makan place called Xi Men Ting, a taiwanese foodie, small lil restaurant over at South City Plaza. we like to come over here cus lil missy loves the rice here, she can finished a bowl of rice, which im really happy, so means i don't need to cook. im so lazy & a bad mom, i know. don't judge me. blek.

happy family

i got the sore throat bug early last week, then the fever bug decided to come & visit me too. lucky flu bug din stop by, cus i din invite tat fella. then hubs kena the sore throat bug also. lepas tu, the nightmare started, lil missy got into the mess too! gosh, all my damn fault. never stay healthy! last week was my 1st time taking 2 days MC off from work this year, cus i really kenot tahan!

poor lil missy had fever on & off for 3 days, twice we brought her to paediatrician, 1st time parents is like this lor, kan-cheong giler wan mah. her fever even hit 40.2c on Tuesday nite which really made us panic. we quickly gave her suppository & her temperature went down. dammit! tension! im praying each day, not to have this kind of episode again. lead a healthy life! take more vit C!

see how "slim" is my lil missy now. sigh

us in kampung, trying to sweat it out :)

work's been pretty hectic too. lots to clear as year end is coming soon, dept budget to use, raise this, raise that, do this, do that. all last minute. biasa-lah isn't it? i used to read somewhere that the ultimate motivation is the deadline, doesn't that ring a bell? hehe... in midst of all the chaos, i got myself a new book, cecelia ahern's "the book of tomorrow" to reward myself. need to start to read it soon. also a kawan passed me 2 tix to Michael Jackson's THIS IS IT for tomorrow, showing in e@curve. why lah have to be this far, now thinking whether wanna go or not?

bill gates

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world

Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about yourself-esteem, the world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself
Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school, you won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity, your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity
Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them
Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room
Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life
Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time
Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs
Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one

pangkor island resort

our co had a treasure hunt recently to pangkor island resort. it was fun, and a last minute decision for us to join. my friend called me up last minute & asked us if we were interested as the original team mates fong fei kei, and i said yes cus i have been there previously for a hunt as well, and i love that place. so hubs agreed to go along, and what fun we had.

despite that we didn't win, but we had fun, made this trip worth it. despite i lost my mobile phone the day before the trip, made me wanna go for this trip even more, just to forget my dumb careless mistake, for that's another story for another day, for being a dumb dumb! sigh!

after the hunt from 730am right up to 3.30pm from USJ towards Lumut, we were tired giler!

packed ferry, packed transfer from jetty to hotel, greeted by welcome drink, song & dance by hotel staff, only to sampai to our nice hotel room, worth it!

after refreshing ourselves, we went to lepak around the hotel & beach area. its the hotel's private beach, and it's beautiful

we took tonnes of pics

only if we get to stay at the private villa... shiok le!

the next day, we were enjoying ourselves to the scrumptious breakfast served. tell me, how many times do you get to eat your breakfast by the beach? hahaha... so we took this opportunity to really enjoy kao kao! after breakie, we went lepak by the beach & lastly checked out after a nite stay. next time can come back with lil missy for a short holiday here. peaceful & quiet, a nice spot for cuti-cuti malaysia peeps :)
