Lunch @ The Apartment

Last Saturday after visiting the MPH warehouse sale in Taman Mayang (SS26), we went to The Curve to eat our lunch. But no idea where or what to eat there. Just go by faith. Hehe. Apparently Ying Ling has not been to The Curve before!! Seriously, although I know this girl since we were in Form 2, this girl still surprises me with new facts every time I meet her!!!

*Shakes head*

We thought of Italiannies but I keep remembering the huge portion which I could barely finish half of it and the huge price tag that comes with it even without the tax and all. We walked around more and finally settled on The Apartment.

The whole concept of The Apartment is so unique. I mean, check out the interior design of the restaurant...


The furnitures they use are so simple but yet very classy and comfy. And somehow, each table has their own unique characteristic and colour. We just didn't know where to sit coz all the tables are so pretty and they're different from each other.


Even the menu is different from your regular type. LOL.


The atmosphere itself is different from your typical restaurants. I just felt like we were at someone else's home eating homecook food. Seriously.

And just check out the booth we sat in ^^


Got bed-seat one leh. And it's soft and comfy. Maybe not for older folks. My parents tell me that they like their bed hard coz it's better for their bones and posture.

The bed-seat is nice, especially if you feel like sleeping after eating or a long day. Or simply just want to curl up with a book and a cup of hot latte. Or you have young children who are tired and just need a nap, meanwhile you can have your lunch.

I had red mullet spaghetti with anchovies by the way.


Another thing I like about this restaurant is that the portion is neither too big nor small - Just NICE. And the food tasted so good and appetizing that I finished it.

Yes, to all my uni friends, be shocked because I FINISHED my food and sapu my plate clean clean. And I have proof...


... And witness :P

See, now we must all believe that miracles do happen every now and then. Such as Daesi finishing every single bit of food on her plate and not complaining about being too full. Hehehe.


This is what Ying Ling had. Can't remember the name exactly (maybe she'll enlighten me about it later) but the keywords are chicken, spaghetti and mushroom. LOL. I had a bite. And the chicken was chewy (not hard) and juicy (not dry) which was very good (not bad).

Yummy. Looking at these photos remind me of how good the food tasted. I am hungry. And it's 2AM.


This is their dessert-and-drink bar. I think. Don't know exactly the function of this area actually. I'm just merely guessing.

Will definitely go back there again because there're so many other dishes I want to try on the menu coz they all sound so delicious (from their description lah).


This has been one of the highlights of my day. Truly good food and good atmosphere can really make your day.

Emo-fied

My mood is as "bright" as the weather today. I just feel sad. Because of the horrible things I've been hearing. Because of certain people.

Sometimes I just can't believe that people would just simply not tell the whole truth just to get their parents off their case. Worse case, get others into trouble. Recently there was this gambling issue. There's this guy I know whom to me, sounded like his parents knew and didn't mind him playing cards and gambling little angpow money. But as I sooner found out, HE WAS NOT ALLOWED AT ALL!! Now his mother is blaming others for teaching him how to gamble. But from what I saw, it was definitely not his first time playing cards. I mean, c'mon, you can play without people teaching you and win so much? Get real. His mom defended him saying that he learns things very fast one. So according to her, he learnt that from us.

And his defense was "Everyone was playing wattt..." without explaining or clarifying further. Thus allowing more misunderstanding to happen. Then HIS mother called MY mother to say that EVERYONE was playing, i.e. implying that my brother and I had been playing too. And her son is not the only one at fault and to be blamed. Thankfully my mom believed us.

I can't believe the nerve of this person. I just hope his mom hasn't gone far as to spread rumours to others that we had been gambling. Or I'd be VERY pissed. VERY, VERY PISSED. I am mad at him for not clarifying the "everyone" playing. That's just one issue.

Then, at times I can't believe my ears when I hear stories that people concoct out of selfishness, greed and the want to feel self-important. And the "conspiracy" he's accusing others of are not something light or even something to be joked about. Of course, I'm not the one being accused lah. But it's really depressing to see someone would actually stoop so low and utter slanderous words which can stumble others.

In my heart, I'm thinking "Eeeeyyyeerrr... Why got people like that one leh?"

I'll give it to him for being very original because this is my first time hearing such a conspiracy theory, a daring one at that. But the story is so bizarre. The story is utterly nonsensical. The story is totally slanderous. The story is not even funny if it's a joke to begin with. The creature in hell would have a good time laughing his head off. And the Big Guy up there in heaven would be shaking his head and be very disappointed.

All these negative things really drains your energy and wellbeing to the point that I've not been feeling well since these things came to my ears. But it could have been the crazy weather as well coz it was so freaking clear, hot and dry on Sunday and yesterday, but today it was the complete opposite. I was shivering the entire day.

Often times, I wonder why can't things be more smooth-sailing, why must such people exist and why must they be in our lives. I am just tired of people trying to take advantage of us. Or trying to drive others away from us so that they get our sole attention, i.e. attention seekers. Or just plain immaturity. Or selfishness. Or pride. Or arrogance. Or treating us and others nicely with ulterior motive. Or gets jealous when they perceive that we're growing apart and becoming close to someone else, which is just all in the imagination.

Or maybe just everything that's mentioned above.

Tell me how can a friendship or any relationship for that matter thrive when these kind of personalities exist? Where there's no trust? Why can't everyone just be real and be themselves, instead of being all pretentious and boastful? I mean, don't you get tired?? You make people tired.

And the Motto of KFC is...

"Finger licking goo". Yummy.

Happy Birthday, Papa!

Chocolate + Vanilla + Ice-cream cake = Yummilicious + Double Yum + Freezing cold that your teeth hurts when you bite into a piece of it. The awesomeness of the taste of these frozen strawberries is just great!

(Cue Heroes by Nickelback) I'm so high, I can feel heaven.

The downside to ice-cream cake: You have to eat it fast. Either you finish the entire cake within an hour. Or you eat as much as you can, then quickly decide that you can't have more, and pack the remaining slices to tupperwares into freezer at lightning speed.


The birthday boy (?? I know it's weird to call my dad that but birthday man doesn't exactly sound right either) cutting his birthday cake. Candle says he's only 10 years old. Haha. Of course that's not right. How old is he? No numbers, just a hint - he can officially retire if he was actually employed.

My mom, my bro and I wished him "Happy Birthday" when it was about 10 minutes past midnight. You know what my dad did? Stopped his work, came out of his study and shook hands with us! LOL! Got to give it to him for his sense of humour.

Well papa, I can never choose another to be my dad. I hope you'll live as long as (if not longer) gong gong (FYI my grandpa passed away at a ripe old age of 96) so that we can enjoy more moments with you and that my children would also get to know this most amazing, kindest and patient man I know.

To end this, I leave you with one of my most favourite picture from my toddler days (the others would be with my mom and with my sis).


Most of you haven't seen my dad as a young man with crown full of black hair right? Hahaha.

Little Vietnam @ Midvalley

Went out with Suet Wan yesterday. To Midvalley coz it's the easiest to get there (the new Putrajaya highway cut out into Seremban Highway and turn out to Federal - straightforward stuff), quickest to ge there(the new route only takes 10 minutes to reach there), no need to pay toll (unlike Timesquare and Sunway Pyramid), and the most convenient.

I don't know why but every time I go out with Suet Wan, we're always eating very the extremely slow. The last time we ate Karl's Jr and it took us like 3 hours. This time we tried Little Vietnam and we spent over 3 hours there!!!

Heh, actually I know why. Coz we chew our food very the slow and we're talking all the time. Mana ada masa untuk makan? Betul kan, betul kan???


Little Vietnam - picture from Midvalley website. God only knows why I didn't think of snapping this picture with my own camera -_-"

We sat upstairs coz the environment was kinda better and had a lot more privacy for chit-chatting. And you won't get people looking at you so oddly because you were snapping pictures of food and restaurant. Haha.


The upstairs part of Little Vietnam. The ambience pretty nice right?
Anyway, this blog entry is not gonna have much substance. We did what we normally do when we hang out - eat and walking around (*cough* shopping *cough*). So a few more pictures to entertain you.


Some decorations before we walked upstairs. The MasterCard thingy seems so out of place there lor.

After we ordered our food, the waiter came and stamped red letterings on the white sheet of paper that was on our table. According to him, this is for good luck. Good luck in eating? LOL.


We ordered their set lunch coz it's the cheapest they have there (around RM22 including tax and everything). It also comes with a bowl of soup and drink (choice of ice lemon tea or their Vietnamese tea).


She had barbequed beef (on the top). And yours truly chose barbequed lamb. Psst psst, the lamb was much nicer than the beef. She said the beef was a little tough to chew.


God it really tastes as good as it looks. Am geting hungry. Feel like going back there for another round but maybe later. I want!

Sleeping Issues

Dear diary,

The time is 3.04AM right now.
And I can't sleep.
My mind won't let me.
My eyes are sleepy.
My shoulders are aching.
My body is zombie-fying.
My mind is exhausted, BUT IT WON'T LET ME SLEEP!
I encounter this sleeping difficulty like few times a week.
Which I know is not good.
And I don't like it either because I know I need my sleep!!
Right now I really need good tips for sleeping well.
Must learn how to shut down my brain before I go to sleep.
God only knows how much I need help.


Sincerely,
Yours not-very-amused-because-she-is-sleep-deprived truly who had a bad day.
