Yummy Court ~~

Had another great weekend, filled with fun and excitment and of coz not to mention GREAT FOOD :P
Making it a habit now to play as hard as I can on Satureday, ^_^ somehow just feel soooo happy nowadays. Feel like something have lifted and I am now back to what I am suppose to be haha.. yea sound quite weird, I don't even know what I am really feeling now. All I can say is, I am truely HAPPY ~~~~

Anyway need to mention the food location that I have visited lately. Firstly went to shabushabu recently @ the location of New Market (where pearl garden use to be). It had a good atmosphere, can eat all you want and the food was not bad. The Chilli hot pot was yummmmm heheh.. not hot at all but the flavour was quite good :P
Secondly went to "Yummy Court", heard about it from a friend so had really wanted to try it out. It was definitely worth the trip going all the way to Balmoral ... hehe okey fine it was not that far la, and there is quite alot of parking on the side street so not a fussy place to visit.
The siu lung bao is SUPERB, lot of juice and the skin was super thin ^_^ .. thumbs up!!
The wo tip also super super nice, all freshly prepared... ummmm but the best would have to be their tofu fa... @@ mouth watering, and really really smooth. This is a place I am definitely going to be going back again. Probably not anytime soon, but will keep it on my list of place to return to.

Anyway, night time event basically consist of playing pool for me for the last 2 week. hehehe ...
oh and a odd day of spending 2 hour at uni at like 1130 - 130 hahaha... oh yea thats not am.. thats 1130pm - 130am hahaha... Was actually quite nice, had the whole lab to ourself and we spend the time playing BOMBER MAN hahahaha.. shhhhhhh haha.

Anyway all for now, just logging in my food location. Might continue on this blog later if I feel like adding in more.

Let me end this by some meaningful quote ^_^

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."

So stay alert and keep an open eye and open mind for happiness is always around, it just depend on whether or not you want to see it.


" So what do you think? Is the cup half full or half empty???? "

Entering enemy territory @@|||

All I can really say is, went to New Market again today. Visit MISS ALLLL IMPORTANT.. @@...
haha j/k j/k, went out to hand over parcel to take to Aust and to of coz... HANG.. AND CHILL and just laz around not wanting to do work.

Being that we are always on a budget, we went to one of the coffee shop that is within our spending range. @@ (okey fine, we have a buy 1 get 1 free coffee coupon again... -.- .... )

Coffee shop name - BOOST
Location - something on Dominon road.... opposite a shanghainess restaurant @_@ hehehe... yes I remember that ga.. haha...
Price range - $4 for medium size coffee
Rating - WILL DEF GO BACK @@..

hot warm silky smooth liquid that just slides down your throat, enveloping your taste bud with the greatest senses ever. ummmmmmmmmmm.

ummmm just the reminiscence of this experience is enough to bring my mouth salivating.

I shall leave the lengthy description to my dear friend to blog about. ^_^

THE FUZZ IS HERE @@ ... runnnn


Haha.. okey another random event that I need to blog about. During the last hour of a normal day at work, while talking to someone that HATE MY KIND... and of coz WE HATE THEIR KIND AS WELL... anyway while talking to HER... haha... we came up with the idea of ... WHY NOT HAVE A MOVIE NIGHT???? A few thing happen after that idea that help moved us faster toward the conclusion of watching movie.

  1. We are both bored, and my squash session got posponed.
  2. We feel like we have to get back up to date with our movies T-T
  3. There was a 2 - 4- 1 movie ticket deal for telecome customer @@ *****
  4. We just wanna go out and have some fun
  5. Movie club member have a deal .. $5 for 2 choctop hehehe
So yea point 3 was actually the main influence for our decision.. (hey comeon, we are still just starting in the workforce. Can't just go and squander away our life saving ga... so we ain't CHEAP ... hahahaha..... okey maybe just a little.. :P )

Okey, movie start at 1800hr. Finalise decision at 1720. Left work 1735
  1. Me, the all important person carring the discount, left important cellphone in car. T_T...sorrrrrrrry.....
  2. Counter person was a trainee, gave us 2 different movie ticket, took ages to give us our movie club card, does not know how to give us choctop special =.= just wasted more time.

We finally entered the cinema at 1820 .... T_T~~~

Anyway overall - greatest movie ever, especially at the price we paid to watch it hahaha. Another great Pom movie, with all the Pom humor and accent haha... And the way they make fun of the American movie is just hilarious. There was actually abit more blood and gore then I would have expected, but it was not those kind that will cause you to recoil in disgust and fear. They blend it in well with the humour of the situation so that the viewer will actually just purely ignore the blood and just laugh at the whole situation. eg.. tip of tower through mouth haha.... Now that I have seen this movie, I wonder if "Shawn of the Dead" will be any similar to this one. As they were created by the same producer and also contain most of the same actor/comedian @@ ... ummm worth renting and checking out.

Okey so yea after the movie, food is a must. So went to DEE JAI *got another coupon to use up* to have another taste of authentic PAD THAI. Rating... ummmm ... to be honest, I can't remember T_T which must mean it was not that much good. The prawn toast was too deep fried so you couldn't really taste the prawn. aiiii incomparable to HK restaurant ga la. ><~~
Anyway, had a nice chat at the restaurant. Catched up with lot of event and happening around friends. OVERALL WAS A GREAT NITE OUT ^_^. Will definitely be planning more random event like this one. hehehehehe......

Venturing out to NM for lunch....

Well, I know this is quite a while ago. But saw this picture in my cellphone and remember I haven't blog about it yet. ^_^
Anyway during one of my weekly trip to check on our pilot site, I stopped by New Market to visit my partner in crime ... hehehe.. hai ar... drove ALLLLLL the way out from mt wellington to New Market for LUNCH. *ho bei min ga la... * hehe... and seeing it was the company car again haha didn't really care about the PETROL @@
So yea.. went and visited our old venue - EAST.
As usual we had the Pad Thai for lunch, but I would have to say.....the standard have SOOOO DROPPED =.= not really planning to go back anytime soon especially we now have the one in pakuranga to have Pad Thai. (so much nicer tooo..)
The Pad Thai at EAST is sooo oily now, less flavor and just plain fatty. The Prawn cracker is oily and not crispy at all. So quite a disappointing lunch.
Still good to get out of work and out of my area once in a while for lunch ^_^

Anyway here is the photo to proof that we DID have EAST for lunch haha.... * yea you guys are probably going.. whatever man =.= *

I DON'T DESERVE YOU ~~><~~



I can't believe I did this to my precious baby >< ... I thought I was careful with my precious, but I guess not. Yesterday night, after a gathering with some of my friend, I went back to the carpark to get my baby boy and go home. And thats when it happened ><. That carpark is like the one next to AUT.. another one of the WILSON CAR PARK, with the horribly narrow turn to go down each level of the carpark. During one of those turn, I got abit tooooo close to the side and *GREEEEE ARKKKKKKKKKK* MY PRECIOUS BABY BOY got flattened on the right side above the rear wheel >< ... arggggg still hurt sooo much to touch my hand over the scratch. poor baby ... ~~><~~

So NOW.. I am on the hunt for a gooood panel beater who can save my baby boy but not suck all my blood out of me so that I would not live to drive my baby when it has healed up.

AUST~~

Right, forgot to mention that I went to aust for my easter holiday this year. Left nz on 30th March and came back to nz on 11th April. Was the best best bestest trip ever. Got to catch up with my dear dear sister ^_^ .... miss her soooo much, saw msK haha.. fat fat girl... and drove in their brand new Honda civic sport on the australian FWY @ 140km/h muahaha. Saw wild roo hopping around on the open road and stood in the freezing cold temperature to watch the penguin come back to shore. Had dinner in a colonial tram and got drunk with my sis on wine and champage. Chocolate overload at the bald man and of coz shopping overload @ bridge road in melb and showbag @ easter show.

Click on the photo album to view what I am talking about, if you don't understand my way of talking hahaha..... cheers.
