Eating 'Vith' Eve - Cafe Modestos, Hartamas Shopping Center

Merry Christmas everyone! It's a jolly good day! Woke up at 11.15pm and get ready for lunch... supposingly my parents and i were to go to Sunway Hotel's Avanti, but the buffet was RM98++, and members only can get 20% discount! Not worth it, so plan to go to Midvalley for Coffee Bean lunch, turn out to Old Klang Road, whoaa, jam!!! The whole MV was crowded with people! Eeleng message me and said that they were stuck for 1 hour and no choice but to patah balik... ;D

So mom suggest to go to Hartamas Shopping Center to look see look see... Initially i thought Hartamas would be crowded too as I heard that it's quite famous... When we reach there, =_=" i can count the people there with my ten fingers... ample parking spaces available! (But the parking charges are crazy, 2 ringgit per hour Monday to Sunday!) Look around for food, saw Kim Gary (hehe!), Bak Kut Teh, Only Mee, Yik Mun Kopitiam, Kenny Rogers and Cafe Modestos... FYI, the 'jiong moon yan' (Super Trio Show hosts) restaurant will be opening soon in HSC...

Not much choices, so parents decided to give Modestos a try... Not a single customer was inside... Throughout our dining duration there, no one stepped into the restaurant... All 3 of us ordered the pasta combo whereby you choose one pasta dish from the menu, and comes with free fries and a cup of soft drink. Mom and i ordered Spaghetti with Mushroom Cream Sauce while dad ordered Fettucini with Plum sauce and seafood. The fries was nice... crunchy enough... The portion of the pasta was ok, enough to fill my stomach hehe! But to me, i think that the cream sauce is not creamy enough, and the mushroom taste was really heavy... For dad's, the fettucini was too thin (i prefer it thicker), but the plum sauce was quite nice! Saw their homemade pizza in the display counter, whoaa, really big piece but the dough was too thick, and guess how much is one piece? RM7!!!! Crazeee!!!

Then went to buy some stuff in the supermarket, and wanted to yum cha at Yik Mun Kopitiam, but a cup of kopi-o is RM2.50, and Milo is RM3! I told my mum, i go home and make for you lah~

E.V.E. - Eating Vith Eve

16 December 2005 - Was invited for lunch with Anju, Ching, and Ria. Since Ching is working in Danau, so we decided to just have a quick lunch in Danau. Chooi Suet and Boon Chong joined in last minute... After much thoughts, we made our decision to eat at ----- KLG.

According to wikipedia, In Taiwan and Malaysia, there exists a KLG, which stands for 卡啦鸡 in chinese. KLG is the initials of the chinese words. The store also uses KFC elements in an altered form. For example, the lettering is of the same font and color as KFC. One visible difference is that their logo is that of a rather plump chicken wearing a bow tie, instead of Colonel Sarders.

There were just one Malay couple in the restaurant when we went in. There were 4 set meals and the promotion was additional 99 cents for fries or coleslaw. I ordered the fried chicken which consists of 2 pieces of fried chicken, and a drink and additional fries. Others tried the burger. Like anybody else, we tend to compare the quality of the food with KFC, but sad to say that KFC is 10 times better.

The chickens were dry and the colour of the meat was greyish!!! The coleslaw was ok, but they 'mince' the cabbage too much, so became very mushy. But the fries was nice! =p But then the burger, the meat was too big so very hard to bite... Need a lot of improvement! Hehe, if they offer free drinks refill, i MIGHT go back again lar kakaka!

Haha, after finish eating, we quickly left and said we'll never go back there again... But there's till space for improvement... hehe! For a restaurant to have 200 over franchise in Taiwan and China, i think their standard is really low.. sigh!

Pics

From left (Front to back): Mr Pierre (Chief examiner for finals), Mr Pradeep Nair (Chief Operating Officer), Mr Eric Olmedo(Director of Studies), Mr Yeoh Tay Boon (Head of academic studies), Mr Neethia(Head of Tourism and Languages), forgot her name (Chief examiner for Tourism), and Chef Bruno (Expert in cuisine from Toulouse)

Mr Reuben putting the kangkung leaves on his head... He said that they couldn't find coral leaves for the graduates, so Chef Bala gave him kangkung crown instead =_="

Cute hor? I like this pic a lot!!!!

17 Dec Announcement Of Result Ceremony

10.30am - Reach college and wait at Uma Curry House to be 'escorted' to the Annexe hall... Few minutes later, Mr Wong Swee Lin came out and ask us to go in the hall. DH 17 were to be seated at the front right corner... All of us were very nervous as our result will be announced...

11.00am - The ceremony started. Mr Reuben was the emcee of the day. I like the way he speaks and the things he says. He started by telling us the story of a boy, going through the things we had went through, the feelings we felt when we took the exam, and that boy was he himself. Then it was followed by Mr Pradeep Nair's and Mr Pierre's speech... Chef Bruno was everyone's favorite for the day... hehe, i wonder why...

Then the cert giving started... It started from BDT, then DT, then DH then BDH... Our batch did quite good, but some were unexpected... Aih... Hehe, but i'm proud to announce that i receive 'Very Honourable Pass with Congrats From Jury'... In our batch, me, Amanda, Natassya, Keith, Lorraine, Kah Mun got VHPWCFJ. Others scored well too!!! Bravo DH17!! Bravo!!!

Then, we head for light refreshments in the L'escoffier Restaurant, and took pic with everybody... Chef Bala had to leave to teman his family. Chef CHong came and see us too!!! So nice of him! We laughed and joke with Chef Patrick Siau, even touch his bald head while taking pic! Hehe! Aih, i'm gonna miss this big family...

DH17 - To those who are continuing BDH, we shall meet again... for those who are not, all the best in your future and hope to see you guys again... keep in touch ya?

Friends...

Hmm, was wondering about this 'word' for quite some time... Actually, more precisely the words 'true friends'... Is it easy to find a true friend? Honestly, how do you consider a person to be your true friend? Nice to you, give you the best presents, have the same taste as you, or both of you know what's on each other's mind? Is your best friend your true friend? Do you have many many true friends or only one or none at all?

Sigh, to me, it's very complicated... what if you treat that person as your true friend, but he/she doesn't? If you hear him/her talk bad about you behind your back, how would you feel? What if you're close to someone, and one day, in a sudden he/she doesn't talk to you anymore, without any reason! Hurtful huh?

People changes day by day... In Standard Six, we say that we'll have no friends in form one, and will have gathering every year to meet each other... it might happen the first year, but slowly, we are asorbed into our own secondary school life... we lose track of each other; In Form Five, we say the same thing, we say we'll go pasar malam every week, or go out once a month, but soon we're into college life or some are busy working, we don't even have time to meet each other... then, our relationship falls apart... The things we talk about is new to each other, the people we meet, the things we do, the places we go...

People are selfish... we always live in our own lives... we want people to care for us... But at the same time, we must also know how to care for others... But never demand too much, because people ARE selfish, no matter what...

Ok, i don't know what am i crapping... good night!

Hotlink Myfm Party in Atmosphere, 23rd Dec

Wahh, honestly speaking, i think that Daniel is my idol and also my lucky charm!!! Hehe, today is the first day for the contest on My FM where you call in to win tickets to the party, and at 7pm i heard the cue to call, i called, the 3rd time i call, i got through... waited waited... and the dj picked up the phone!!!!!!!!

Trials...

Finally, trials is over... but 33 hours later i will be sitting for my finals for diploma! -_-... Haven't even study yet! Today chef patrick siau came in and give us some TIPS for finals, i got headache after that, so many things to study! And i have less than 24 hours to revise on everything!!!

Our batch is kinda unlucky, cuz supposingly all batches should get minimum one week study week between the trials and finals, but no, we only get 1 DAY! Haha! Stupid right the college! I know they sure say 'aiya, got study week or not also you're suppose to start doing revision long time ago, not last minute studying!' Halo! Typical Malaysian students la... sure all also last minute one ler...

Got our trials result today at 5.30pm... Soon after we took our LAN Malaysian Studies test... Erm, overall is ok... got 15.96/20 for my global average... Argh!!! 0.04 more marks i can get 'congrats from jury', but heck! Trials only mar... not that got cert also! If finals then can get scholarship la haha! Anyway, i'm not that geng ok! But it was my professional conduct that pulled my marks down.. i did not perform well... i was too nervous... got nervous break down kakaka! Got 12/20 for it... others got 16 or 17... sigh!!!

Got our finals timetable today! Really ridiculous and stupid lah!!! They cramp all the studying subjects in 2 days, then a 3 days weekend break, then wednesday kitchen practical (which has nothing to study), and thursday BM oral (also no need to study!), WTH!!! Jin jiak bo pa nai lor!!! Lagi sui is they cramp the management paper (which contains 5 studying subjects in one paper), and kitchen technology paper on the first day, which is the day after tomorrow! Go die la! Chiu!

Shuin la! Better go burn midnight oil now! Ciao!!!
