New Secret (SP) Restaurant....

Psst! Hey people, wanna know a new secret? Visit the New Secret (SP) Restaurant in Sungai Petani, Kedah! XD It's a restaurant that serves REAL Chinese food (Not Malaysian Chinese food)!This restaurant is located near Village Mall, if you know where I mean. AND!, if you do decide dine at this restaurant, you must know how to speak Chinese, or hokkien!

The veggies, topped with chicken floss.

I somehow do not like this porridge. I do not know why. The texture is much different, compared to the porridge I normally take.

Porridge topped with spring onions...

Chicken in some sauce (I don't know what sauce is it)...

This might take some getting use to. Other than chicken, they serve eel in this kind of sauce too (I think, I saw the other tables all getting their meat in pots).

The appetizers.

The food served here is just not my taste. I do not appreciate this kind of food. I think the origins of this type of cooking is from China, where people eat these kind of foods to keep warm in the winter months. Maybe after you tried the food there, you can give me some feedback of what you think? =)

My rating for this restaurant is 6.5/10.

Lunch @ Sitiawan! =)

I visited my grandparents last Saturday. I got the chance to see my uncle in KL, with my three small cousins! =)

Isn't she cute? =) Small kids are always cute!
We had lunch at this restaurant, called "Restoran Mei Hock", located in the middle of nowhere (to me). Of the whole row of shops, only a few shops are up and running, the rest are just empty lots crying out to be rented out.
This restaurant is located @...This restaurant's menu is different from the other restaurants in Alor Setar, instead of just giving you the names of the food, a picture of the dish is also shown in the menu, making the menu quite thick. I think this is not such a good idea for menus, because the customers would be wasting time flipping through the whole menu, just to order what they want. The food there was quite okay. I liked their salad prawns, and the 5 in one dish.

4 of the dishes. The salad prawn dish is located at the bottom left of the four. =)

Another 4 dishes. I did not like the fried brinjal (top right corner) and the chicken (bottom left corner).

Overall, the food was rather good. I must say I pretty much enjoyed it. The gave us free soya-bean jelly as desert too! =)

My rating for this restaurant would be about 7.5/10.

Another picture of my cousin! =) He's cute, right?

Been Watching Movies Lately... =)

Been watching movies lately, something I have not done since the month before SPM started. These two movies were graciously lent by Samantha... =)

First movie... "Taken".
A very nice movie! This show is about a retiree of an CIA employee, divorced. He has a daughter, and she goes to Paris with her friend Amanda. His daughter gets kidnapped by human traffickers. He goes to Paris and saves his daughter.

This movie has non-stop action! Plenty of shooting! It also shows how much a father would go through just to save his daughter.

My Rating for this movie: 8/10.

Next movie... "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past".
I somehow find this movie rather boring comparing to the movie "Taken". This movie is about a playboy, making girls love with him. Once they fall in love with him, he dumps them. At one time, he breaks up with 3 women at a time. He attends a wedding of his brothers, and nearly ruins it. 3 ghosts visits him, and he is a changed man.

I find the storyline a little lame and boring. It's somehow like copied from Mr. Scourge, just that this is a different scenario. Oh well...

My rating for this movie: 5/10

A Random Shot @ Gurney Plaza! =)

A random shot @ Gurney Plaza. I like this picture! What say you?Back to Part 2 of my recent Penang Trip... I bought an SAT book that cost RM 99.90 @ MPH & Christmas candy! After walking tirelessly at Gurney Plaza, we headed to New World Park @ Lorong Swatow for dinner!
There is a hawker center in New World Park. Looking at the number people eating there, I think the food there must be quite nice. There is even a store there selling wooden carvings and old stuffs, like old coins and postcards.

My family and I decided to try something new, so we headed to Passions of Kerala, an Indian restaurant, originating from North India I think.
The food there was okay larh, I guess. I think the food at Cennai Curry House in SP is much nicer. But, I think that is because of my lil sis, my mother asked the waiter to lessen on the usage of chilli. I think I would have prefered it to be more spicy.

The main set with different veggies.

Additional Dishes.

I think the food was overall okay. The service was great! But, I would think twice before going there again though.

Christmas is in 3 DAYS!

MYF Christmas Party is TOMORROW!

Penang Trip... =) [Part 1]

P.S. I have been busy lately. I have been meaning to update my blog, but somehow couldn't find the time.

It has been a long time since I have been to Penang, I think the last time I went was when MYF organized the trip the Penang Hill. My parents decided to bring me there just for fun, some more it was in between exam, before my Chinese paper. The first picture I took when I arrived at Penang. A vandalized traffic light, with all the stickers of the available offers to lend money. We headed to Gurney Plaza. There was a show on, about Dragon Ball in Gurney, it was pretty noisy!

We had lunch at Seoul Garden, my EX-FAVORITE place to makan...
The lovely lovely food.... My parents then went shopping, while I just followed them here and there. It was pretty tiring just to walk. It's been a long time since I walked that long! I tried ice=cream from a store called Gelatissimo. I think it's ice-cream from Aussie.
The ice-cream! 3 different flavours in one! It was just simply yummy! =)
You should try it when you head down to Gurney Plaza. It's located at the same row as Dome.
I'll blog about the dinner I had later... =)

SPM Over, What Next?

SPM is OFFICIALLY over for me! I finished my Chinese papers yesterday. The Chinese papers are getting tougher and tougher as the years go by. This year, they revamped the papers, instead of having more objective questions in Paper 2, there are more subjective questions. I think in a few years time, Paper 2 will be tested all in subjective format.

Christmas is round the corner! I'll be pretty busy this Christmas with caroling practices, skit practices and all.

Oh, who wants to come for my MYF's Christmas Party?
It's on the 23rd of this month. It starts at 6:30 p.m. and ends at 9:30 p.m. at WMC.
Do contact me. =)

My SPM is Unofficially Over!

One more subject to go! Two more papers to go! I can't wait for 14th at 12:30 noon, I'll be free from exams (for the time being)! One more dreaded subject, Chinese. I don't even know why I take Chinese when there is a high possibility of not passing this subject.

Anyway, Tim and gang are going YLDP today, and Sam is going for HEROS camp. I wanna go! But I still have exams! :( Never mind, I'm going for SUSOM in Jan! =)

17 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!

Hey! FarmVille is bigger than Twitter!

Can you believe it? I was reading from TechRadar just now.

Facebook: FarmVille is bigger than

Twitter

Big numbers revealed, as the site hits 350 million users

What is the world coming to? This statistics are really mind-blowing! Bigger than TWITTER??? Imagine spending an hour a day on FarmVille. In a week, you will have spent 7 hours on it. In a month, a day plus 7 hours (assuming the month has 31 days)! In a year, you would have spent 15 days and 5 hours on it! Imagine the time wasted, just to farm online, which does not bring you anything except pleasure for that few minutes.
