What happen? I am not really sure myself. Given this option 1 year ago, I would have teleport there that very instant :P

Really do prefer to sit somewhere not booming with music I don’t listen to anymore and have my drink in peace while having good conversation with people. Minus sorethroat from shouting.

I think my category in this blog for partypartyparty is about to retire…

My last day with my previous company marks a new beginning. With my very capable teamleader and her best friend

Team! or rather ex-team.. =__=

At night, Kimmie the party planner asked us to Soi for a drink. Theme for the night is Floral night. Since i’m like out of the scene for soooo long, I thought it’s really a floral theme night..Hence the flowery dress Turns out it’s just among us. But there’s so many other people in floral..

My lunch buddies for a year. 3 out of four had move on. Left Kimmie now…

The girls. I don’t think I’ll find colleagues like you girls anymore. It’s so hard to find.. Gonna miss working with you all so much :(

Flowers and tree trunk =_____= The guys can’t find any flower theme cloth so they wore trees/plants instead

Like MrSmallFace wore palm trees ..

My new role is totally foreign and fresh to me. Not what I’ve studied for the past 5 years and definately not what I did for the past 1.5years. I don’t know how it will go, but I’m eager to find out

Anyway, I found a gem of a place here! True one. I’ve been at this place 3 times in a week already will share more after I’m done with it..

AND AND

I found the holga Multicolor!! I blogged about it before and was so excited when I saw it.

But it’s so expensive to me now

When foodie blogger Des-T and my LadyCow are back in town 2 weeks back, I knew he wanted to get some blogging material, trying something new in Penang. So i suggest this queer place which I’ve not tried myself before.

Unfortunately for me and MrSmallFace, we had such a bad experience.. We got there first and wanted to get a table for 4 pax. We did not make any reservation and had expect to wait. But when, MrSmallFace step beyond the bar/waiting zone, to a sort of like steel tube, the waitress shoo-ed him down, when he just wanted to have a look. I was also standing inside the restaurant looking at their wine cabinet and they asked us not to stand there and ushered us to the bar area again. I’m already quite pissed by then.

At the waiting area, there’s no stool for us, we had to carry in some stools from outside ourselves (now there’s another 2 girls waiting). When we asked for menu to look at, waiter only brought 2 – for the 2 girls. I saw a menu laying on the bar, so i picked it up to have a look. Not even halfway through, the waiter told us (waiting patrons) he need the menu and ask us to give it back. WTH.

Not wanting to being treated this way, we left as very unhappy customers.

2 weeks zoom by and we hold grudges like birds. My colleague told me the food was not bad, so decided to give it another try. THIS TIME, we made reservation so we wouldn’t be treated like pariahs again.

We got there on time and was shown to our table. The whole place is decorated with tree branches entwining with the interior and the seats are designed to look like cocoon halves. MrSmallFace intrigued with the seat that we can’t adjust. Its fixed to the ceiling and floor.

The menu is not very extensive. A little fusion i’ll say because it ranges from baked rice to seafood to ribs. They were having a promotion that day we were there. 50% of bottle of house wine once you ordered 2 mains. So I asked the waitress serving us, is pasta and burgers considered as main (they separate the 2 out of the list of MAIN DISH) and she just say “Er…hold on yaa”

and ran off… =.=

And then she came back to fill up our glasses with water, I asked her what’s the soup of the day and again she smiled and say “Er…hold on yaa, i don’t know” and ran off =.=

The girl got someone else to wait on our table that time. When i asked her to recommend any signature dish, she practically read off the menu ….in HOKKIEN! The HORROR!

That’s like the biggest turn off. We are paying like at least RM20 per dish at a reasonable environment restaurant, and she speaks to customer that asked her questions in English back in Hokkien. MrSmallFace knew at once i’m pissed cos she’s like “Uhh he leh, normal eh chai tua pi yah lo..Hua Chai, carrot, huan chu” = Got that one, normal vegetable by the side, cauliflower, carrot and potato…ARghhhhh.. Anyway, the way she recommend the food, I don’t feel willing to try the ribs at all…

Anyway, we ordered quickly and start waiting for our food while taking silly photos..

Shy MrSmallFace. Eh, malunya feature on the blog again..Eh.. *_*

My Salmon and Creamy fettuccine pasta(RM22). Very creamy but pasta too thick. He really did prefer Ecco’s

But I’m a sucker for cheese stuff so I fell for this dish. Good choice *pats self on back* Me and my pale face! I don’t really know how to apply eye shadow..or colors to my face except a hint of blush..paiseh

His grilled grouper fish(RM29) that comes with “hua chai” and was put on flame for abit..kinda lame attempt. I rather them not to do it at all if they want to set the fish on flame half-heartly. Bad impression.

It’s really not bad yet it’s not so great too. Ok, can eat but wont dream of wanting to eat it everyday loh..Part of it was quite charred to be honest. The flaming act la..i believe =.=

I forgot to tell on their bread that comes on the house.

It’s TERRIBLE! The one that looks like croissant taste alright, warm like normal bread but not very soft. BUT the round bun that we always get at western food is so hard you can KO if i threw it towards you. The manager himself said so after we asked him bout it. At first I though MrSmallFace is just complaining bout the food as usual, so I tried to take a bite at the bun. My, what effort I had to put in. So we asked the manager if the bun was suppose to be this hard and asked him to hold it..He’s like OH SHIT! I CHANGE FOR YOU!!!

To their credit, they did change the bun to a warmer and softer bun. A bun that is served how one should be. And the butter platter, if you mix the brown one with the butter, it tasted delicious.

In a nutshell, it’s a place you’ll go for special occasion when everyone is virgin to the restaurant. The deco is really appealing and interesting, as if you step into another planet. The service too, no other like here. I’m sorry if you think my review is bias, maybe i’m due to the first experience but they shouldn’t treat customer like that even though i look like a poor kid without chaperon( ^_^)

Food wise, nothing to shout about. You can get almost the same thing some place else with better price and service attached or not even better taste. The wine that we got for RM44 per bottle was very decent. For me, it would be a rare occasion if I were to return there for another time.

On another note, here’s a happy Princess Jasmine instax I took!! It’s so nice, you’ll never know which Disney princess you’ll get from my disney pack!! I want Doreamon one! but seems like very hard to get!!

Happy Happy moniversary from a (then) tipsy apple4today!

Super Gathering at Soi. Why super? Because it’s a capalang gathering where people who know each other and don’t know each other meet up and know each other. Pichas from the super gathering.

It was one bittersweet event for me. That’s for sure. Last 2 year, it was nearly a week of celebration. The following one was a stark contrast as I was all alone in Blyton, UK. Plus, as the clock striked 0:00 on the 15th, i was in the hospital =.=

So  i was finally in Penang for my birthday after a 4-5 years absence, gosh i can’t even remember myself. This year, it falls on a weekend. With all that adding up, i had to admit i have high hopes for a fabulous friends get-together this year as it was such a lonely yet “finding-yourself” one last year.

1 fine weekday i started to ask a close friend whether he is free to come hang out on Saturday night. The reply is a very very hurtful by Jsheng and I was flabbergasted beyond words. I know I couldn’t go on and ask another friend and got turned down yet again so i dispatch Ynnek to do the job.

Thursday was one whirlwind of emotion. I was going haywire with Airasia booking flights here and there ending up being hugely disappointed when i couldn’t get even 1 destinantion. Not even 1 After dinner, I was already extremely moody and when Ynnek told me 2 of my bestest friend is ‘thinking about it’ on whether to come on Saturday, THAT was my limit. I am not sure why I did not question their suspicious answer, I guess I just had enough disappointment for 1 day and just don’t care anymore. THAT was also when my damn dam broke.

On Friday itself, we (my colleagues) often complain that we don’t have anymore life, so Kimmie suggest that we should go hang out! I agreed, obviously since I dont have plans at all. SO unlike me!

Soi 11 it is. And I had my first beer tower in Penang. and also encountered the weirdest waitress ever =.=

The people that went. Fredy, Sarah, Kimmie and Kurt.

My first surprise was the cake which we had a hard time keeping the candles lited. The funny thing of the photo as wanster commented…People are blocking the winds so hard while you are wishing there… yala yala

Thanks everyone! Me and the cake..plus light bulb

Move on the next pub. Then had another gift. Downing a flaming seems like obligatory thing to do once you go climb the digit in age.

Good thing i have a balance alcohol tolerances…HAHAHAHAHA Good thing TeongLi or Erhuat not around. Or else i bet i would be dead. So dead.

Past 12 and the countdown to next year Nov 15th starts all over againnn…

On the actual day, I had NO motivation to dress up or go anywhere albeit ynnek was at my house kinda early and urging me to change change change! I’m bring you out! =.=

We had a table at the restaurant for 2. And when we arrive the waitress kinda screw up alil for ynnek, anyhoo we were led to our small corner table and while i was deep in my thoughts on what to order, Pwah suddenly pop up behind my seat…followed by Pling..and Hin.. =.=

HAHAHA I knew it! was a surprise..okokla..not very surprise cos i kinda saw the reservation book when we walked in *hng!*

Then we were moved to private room which was too big for the party of 5 so I suspected something again. Pling helped alot here by saying ” It’s okie, more ppl coming!”

HAHAHHAA...2nd pecah tembelang of the night..

Then halfway eating the lights dimmed and the cake was brought in no other than Jsheng!!! I was about to cry but being the vain me i kept thinking “mascara, eyeliner, mascara, eyeliner” to stop me from crying -______-

The best surprise, the one i am really surprise was when Christal walked into the room. I wasn’t expecting for her to drive all the way back from KL for the dinner.

Ynnek has been really sneaky behind my back!! He got whoever he can get his hands on to come for dinner! The rare photo combo you dont get to see everyday! OWP and Christal. God know when is the last time they took any photos together!  

Then Pling innocently asked me “So you guys going to Sunset later?” where I nonchalantly turn towards Ynnek “ARe we?”

HAHAHAHA Ynnek expression was priceless. 3rd pecah tembelang!

No matter how successful or not successful you might think the “surprise” was, it WAS a success as I was crying my eyes out earlier. That already show I walked into the trap willingly.

Thank you all for putting in the effort again. You guys know how i “LOVE” surprises and well played by making use of my weakness which are, well, your very own self my dear friends Thanks to the one that planned all that as well and I know how hard it was watching me cry YET you can’t say anything.In the end, it turns out that Friday night was part of the plan as well.

Nothing more that I can say except watch out when its nearing your birthday as remember, I AM a scorpio…hahahahahhaha

Just Kidding..i love you guys~ and oh, to the guy that send me birthday card every single year since i know you. I know, old school style since we have generation gap..hehehehe

Till next year ..
