Until the seas part

Got the invitation to attend Eddie and Brenda's wedding; it was like half year back, I felt excited when I clicked 'Attend' on the FB that time. It's a fate that I done my internship at Euro, knew lots of nice people which we are still contacting each other right now. Promised Eddie to take the liability in his wedding and play a minor roll (okay, quite important lol) during his big day; glad that I actually can contribute during the day, for a friend / brother like him. Let's start from the lao tia meh before the actual day.

My contribution started on Friday noon, since I'm not working that day, why not helping him to prepare wedding thing. There were many first time for me, to travel so far (Kulim) all by my own, to see St. Anne Church in real, and to have black outfit from head to toe under the sun. Red roses was what they chose for the bouquet, bloody roses seemed to whisper the passion of their love under the sun.

Back to their home sweet home and there were many things waited us to be settled, one of it was to decorate the house. I myself feel that this spot in this house is quite nice, I took photos before started my job there, laugh. 

Snoopy collection at the rack.

Something that I very fancy in his room, the antique phone! Did I mention that they set a theme for their wedding - Retro, and here they have a little retro space for themselves too. The phone is not for decor but it's in use and imported from overseas, cute no? 

This is what I did for the day, 100 balloons to fill up his room and living room. You have no idea he is a romantic guy by looking at him.

I assume that girls will gone crazy if they had all the items on the dresser, hand cream, skin cares, body cares and etc. Peep on the Notorious perfume from Ralph Lauren, it shows that Brenda has brilliant taste, the scent of Notorious just suit her right.

Rose petals (fake one lol) all over the mattress, fruits were placed on top as well, each of them represent different prayer or wish.

The wedding couple slippers, which have 'husband' and 'wife' wordings on the top of them. Not much photos were taken on the day, and the next day as well, busy with my stuff, stay tuned for the next post, if I happened to get some photos.

Before I forgot, the wedding ring (focus on the wrong side, omg!) is from Cartier, the design is simple enough. Like you can watch from drama, the wedding ring goes on the left ring finger as it's the only finger with vein that connects to the heart. Till then.

"Sweetheart, sweetheart...."

Sushi night at Sushi Zento, Precint 10

Hi, did I ever said wrote that even how hard I try to taste new restaurant or cafe which are mushrooming in Penang island, I also couldn't finish them all. My money just couldn't grow as fast as those restaurants, plus I haven't finish all my debts and car loan, but I just started to work for only one year, life will getting better isn't it? Cross fingers. After tonnes of nice food I try, some of them really make me to crave for more, still at the end, they all need to queue behind my love. (You guys should know what I like now?) I want to shout out loud that: I love to eat rice! Truly a Asian to the core, wonder can I really survive without rice? Laugh. 

What will you do to end your exhausted day after work? I chose to have nice dinner with friend, a delightful one. This time, we were back to Sushi Zento where I first tried during my birthday celebration, click here for the previous post. If you google this restaurant, most of the reviewers were commented on their services, not a good one tho; but I found that the service over there is quite okay (maybe I went there twice during weekdays and not much diners to serve), they are quite efficient btw. 

Chawanmushi . RM6

If you follow my blog, I used to order set meal at Japanese restaurant; this time it was something different, we had ala carte all night long, sound so sumptuous. Chawanmushi was first served up, you see nothing on the top, but all the ingredients are bedded at bottom.

Salmon Fried Rice . RM10

See I told'ya, I couldn't live without rice. I wished for something special than just simply a bowl of garlic rice, that's why this came to my mind to try their salmon fried rice. The outlook make me drooled, you can see that minced salmon is fried together with rice, you can have it on every bite. It would be better if it's not that salty, at first the taste is acceptable, but becoming more salty at the end.

Yaki Gyoza . RM8 for 5 pcs

A must have dumpling, tasted it once and I knew I'll order it again and again. Under the dumpling skin, we have minced pork and vegetables, thanks to vegetables, the texture is quite okay (not too chewy) when we munched it. The soy sauce is the bonus, dip dumpling in it to enhance the taste! I forgotten that these are not Chinese style boiled dumpling, the way to taste Gyoza is different as well, somemore I asked my friend where is the ginger. Whack my head please!

Italian Roll . RM20

I understand how the name come from after they served this up. As usual, bottom one is normal sushi maki which stuff with cucumber, crab stick and egg, this was then topped with thick layer of raw salmon, mayonnaise and cheese. Blow torch (if not mistaken) use to melt the cheese on top before served up, the best part is, the salmon still in raw condition! This is how the name come from, the preparation is very Italian style and be frank, the portion is quite big, thanks God we didn't order Dragon Roll as well.

Salmon Hand Roll . RM6

Hate myself that update this post in this hour, looking at the photo make me drool and hungry, see how juicy is the salmon! Normally, I wouldn't order hand roll as the seaweed is hard to chew or bite after expose to air for long time. That's why this came first before other dishes while the seaweed still remain fresh; the main purpose to have this - salmon-lah of course! 

How can I forgot about  my favourite salmon sushi on conveyor belt, but I only had one plate of salmon sushi last night, the rest I was hunted for salmon+scallop sushi, which cost me RM5.80 per plate. Om nom nom, this sushi night did compensated me for did not shown up during Sushi King Bonanza last week.

Wonder if visitors of my blog really read my crappy words, or only enjoy my photograph, or none of them?! Laugh! 

My first Insta-post

After-since smart phone has intruded in my life (or others), those apps provided by Apple/Android seems cooler and everyone prefer update their goings-on using the apps. So am I, yet for those interesting incident, I still prefer blog about them here, laugh. 

I placed a Instagram gadget over here few months ago, to share thing that I see and I eat with everyone who yet to have smart phone. Only 6 latest photos are available btw, so I'm going to blog about some of my old insta photos here, first ever insta-post! *Scroll down*

1. Food

I love food! This is the fact that my friend know about me, and I willing to spend on food instead of beautiful clothes and accessories. Almost 50% of my Instagram photos are full of food, this is the aftereffect staying in food heaven, munch munch! 

2. Love from friends

I do take photo when people around me surprise me with tiny something, nosh, pens, book, and etc. By this, I'll always remember their sincerity towards me, okay, even without photo, I'll still remember! Photos show souvenir from Taiwan and Hong Kong.

3. From my eyes

Sometimes it's hard to tell a story by words, yet it's easier to tell your story from your photo, and it all started from your eyes. Deep! 

4. Accessories

When I buy new love, as in accessories, I wouldn't take a photo on it; sometimes I'll only have a photo of them when I wear them, at least for me they look alive. Not really know what am I talking about, just the feeling is totally different, you can ignore me btw. 

5. Me? Or not me?

I seldom have my selca photo uploaded in Instagram, can only found 10 photo with my face out of 200+, is that means I'm not really a narcissistic person? Or maybe I'm not really a photogenic person, but personally I love the 4th photo of mine, look cool!

This is the first time (or maybe the last time) for me to post my insta-photo, just found out that I'm not really a good story teller, and this post is totally a disaster. But I like.

Going to be a busy bee for the following 2 weeks.

Breakfast at Toh Soon Cafe is love!

When I attended my zoo members gathering (fyi, zoo members consist of my close friends during form 6 period, there is something special about us, whenever we met, we like to tease each other, but none of us feel unwell because of that, this is what BFF always do! Okay, back to topic now...), they keep commented about my blog that full of the sign of great food. Hell no, I'm not turning my blog into a food blog like a pro, just blogging about food does make me feel happy and I want to share all delicious bites with my friends. After-all, here is my little journal to stick down every dribs and drabs of my life, in case I lost my memory, I can read them back. Laugh. 

Now Penang having rainy season which I think soon to over by this weekend; the pouring rain did made me feel sad as I thought I can't have my breakfast at Toh Soon Cafe yesterday. It was like a faith, when I thought of this, the rain stopped, jumping here and there!

Luckily I been there few minutes earlier, people who came later need to wait for seat, lucky me! I'd blogged about this before, but not in details. Toh Soon Cafe is a small coffee shop situated at the back lane along the Campbell Street, surely parking is a problem there, I saw some of the cars being clamped yesterday, poor guy. You can park far-er and enjoy the beautiful street while walking over here.

I couldn't absorb caffeine with empty stomach, body problem I guess, it just make me feel sick; so I seized my day with milo (RM1.30).

You need to wait them to serve up your order, if you are too hungry to wait, you can get the curry puff (RM1.50, I think) before that.

Or if the curry puff couldn't fulfill you, packets of Nasi Lemak (RM1.40) are waiting for you to grab. I was quite excited for this and expected there are fish and egg waiting for me when I opened the outer layer, but I couldn't found egg in the packet, how sad!

Their signature, bread toasted which spread with butter and kaya (RM1.80) is a must whenever you visit at Toh Soon Cafe. The reason why everyone willing to wait for this is because the toast is prepare by using a charcoal stove, the taste is just too good to describe.

Toast and egg are perfect match, so I went with the flow to order 2 half boiled egg (RM1.40), added a dash of pepper and drizzles of soy sauce to enhance the taste. Non half boiled egg lover might couldn't take it, since it's really watery that you can actually drink it.

As for me, before I drank up the whole cup of concoction, I dipped my toast into the eggs as taught by my daddy since I was small. This is the classic way to enjoy your first meal of the day. I was blessed after this meal and it just cost me around RM8 (per person)!

It's been one year

As per title, I'd been graduated for almost one year, I feel like it was only happened yesterday, how nice if we could have yesterday once more. Laugh. Well, we still need to move on for better life and glad that I joined my Zoo members to Esther's convocation just now. Bought a bouquet with big Chipmunk toy for her, not a real flowers tho, but she can keep it after that. Congratulation, my friend!
