Coco Steamboat @ Old Klang Road

HARO MY PRETTY PRETTY TOMATOES!

It's funny how I don't notice time flies. I'm so sorry for neglecting my blog. Probably its because I'm having too much fun and yes, I've been taking a lot of snapshots lately too and it is all mostly foods!

It will be my very first food post. So, be nice.

I'm gonna share some of it today before heading to class at 3pm. Let's just see If I'm able to rant everything by then.

The fatty finally brought me to this very humble place in Old Klang Road after hearing all the oohs and the ahhs about the pork bone soup. At first, I thought how special could it be since it is just pork bone! Neither did I ever thought they would have milk in it! I must say it is very similar to the broth of fish head noodles soup and the difference is just that there are pork bone plus some peppery taste to it. 

After my first spoon, I knew this is the best ever steamboat I've tasted to date! ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ノ

The pork bone soup

Other than that, they have the pork bone in it, so I guess they brew it along with the soup and that's what made it extra delish!

The only downside is that we had to order a minimum of 2 person, and there is only the 2 of us. Since we're not fancy with fishballs and the usual platter we decided to have additional order of dumplings and beefs. And we sat and stuff ourselves for an hour plus.

And if I'm not mistaken, the price of the pork bone soup is slightly higher than the rest of the soups available.

Never a fan of usual plates in steamboats

Another best part is we had our beefs mix with stirred eggs. Hehehe shabu-shabu styles!

The verdict, I can't wait to return to Coco Steamboat since it is so near to where I'm living. Coco Steamboat also had another branch in Cheras, which is the older one. Anyhow, fatty thinks both branches taste the same. I can trust his fat tummy.

Back to Classes

Look who is peeping with those eyes!

I've got a new beauty pouch/ vanity pouch to fit into my college bag today!

..Or whatever you call that thing to fit all my ladies needs.

I just had to have pouches in my bag to keep everything organize or else there would be war in my bag and my phone would get scratches, liquid spills on notebooks, notes get crumples, digging for pendrive is like digging for gold in my bag, and the list goes on.

I wonder how else clumsy I could get. Or even messier :(

And this it is! a pouch is needed before college starts tomorrow. Talking about it makes me feel twisted in my stomach and anxious at the same time since there would be two new lecturers lecturing and along comes with an erratic schedule. Oh why..

It's cookie monster! My vanity flip mirror.

Let's just hope all is well tomorrow :)

Facebook: Dilemma

To be honest, I was never Facebook savvy nor do I really care about what is really on Facebook. I was more of a twitter person.

But one thing I do treasure is the cleanliness of how my Facebook looks. I certainly detested all auto posts on my walls and talking about it just reminds of the spams of SchoolFeed. It is everywhere on my Facebook even so after I blocked it. 

There was once, I even deleted all albums and only left with a profile picture. And I was happy cause it looks clean.

Anyway, recently my Facebook has changed into timeline. Not that I despise it or anything. I actually quite like the idea and the only problem is that what to put on my banner. I'm thinking of simplicity but again I want it to match my profile picture too. And I need a new profile picture! 

So much dilemma.

Retreat: Sekeping Serendah

I can't believe it has been a full week since my last update! Hee..

Nevertheless, as promised here is an update of my escape to Sekeping Serendah with the classmates. Sekeping Serendah is located a few minutes' drive from the town of Serendah and about an hour from Kuala Lumpur. As we approached to our destination, we had to meander down the narrow road passing by the quiet village of the orang asli.

I have to admit it was so quiet and serene as we passed lakes after lakes and houses. And my heart thumps like a rabbit because it is my first time seeing such a peaceful place.

We finally arrived our destination after a slow drive.



It was nice to have our cars parked right outside of our bungalow. In a way, it is easier to have our luggage down. So, I'm giving a thumbs up for that. Because I really thought we had to parked our cars faraway and hearing about it makes me feel lazy already. :s

And as I stepped into the bungalow..

Immediately, I was as light as a bubble. It was breathtaking.

And the pictures above are only a certain angle of the warehouse. The size was about two times bigger. Needless to say, it was very spacious. Plenty of rooms for all of us to roam around.

The bungalow could fit up about 14 people maximum and there will be still plenty of place.

There are two bedrooms located opposite of single(s) and double(s) bed. And we had to climb up the ladder to go to our bedrooms.

I feel so adventurous!

Okay, kidding.

Other than that, partially, the place are filled up with bricks and the entire bungalow have no side walls, it's open air! If you're an outdoor-sy or a sucker for nature, you'll be delighted to live in Sekeping Serendah.

Another thumbs up is that, kitchen utensils such as cutlery, plates, mini refrigerators, microwave and stoves are provided.

More rooms to wonder around.

To keep those pesky insects away!

To come to think of it, I can't believe I missed out taking a picture of the best place in the bungalow. The shower rooms. (-_\) 

Cause for some odd reasons, I find the water really different in a very nice way. The waters in Sekeping Serendah are pumped from the waterfall. So water that comes from the taps, showers and the swimming pools are waterfall's water.

I can recall vividly, I had 4-5 showers in a day cause it did made my skin softer and even swim-ed twice and the water from home seems ordinary. And it doesn't make my skin soft at all. Hmpf!

Dad even asked why I didn't bring some water home to use it as a facial spray. Never thought of that. Dammit!

Anyway, dinner was generous. And I was full to the brim.

I must say every dish is delish! I couldn't believe my classmates are such good cook. Considering we are all communication students except one round person :p

After our dinner, we played some cards and once in a while someone would strum the guitar and sing. Basically, all our activities were simple cause there weren't any electronic.

We had all our activities ends about past midnight and we slept with comfort to the music of nature.

The August Break

So far semester break has started over a week now. It's great news since college has always been so hectic plus the short holidays, this time my break was a tad bit longer. The mojo for blogging has even returned to it's position. Probably the holiday?

I have even decided to give a revamp this blog entirely. There are still some bits and pieces that are not fix. Thanks to my rusty illustration skills. I'm still thinking if I should have a new header or just go with a sidebar image that acts as a header for a change. Hmm.. What do you think?

Fussy fussy me, is getting all worked out with my fickle minded. Anyway, as I was browsing through some of the blogs to get inspiration, I came across this wallpaper.

Fell in love with it instantly and it became my new found love wallpaper. Silly silly happy me!

Finals has finally ended!

It actually took me quite sometime to think of a suitable title.

Screw it, this shall be it!

Since, you're not told that my finals has finally over and I have even got back from a short trip in Sekeping Serendah. And I'll definitely blog about it soon!

It also proves that my estimated time period of the future post from my previous entry was right! Ha!

Well, at least I gave a warning about the out-of-business. Heee..

Anyway, this picture, the title of the post and neither the rant above has got to do about today's post. I'm a very close up person and does not like to share life much in public.

But, this is no excuse.

I was bumped into a inane person this afternoon after a trip to groceries shopping.

So what happened was, this somebody pushed his trolley to the back of my boyfriend's car when we were approaching near and we were just a stone away. He gave a quick glance behind his back to check if anyone sees it and he noticed our glares and stares.

But that bugger cowardly ran back into his car with children behind to witness his father's ethical standards. Somemore. He nudge the driver, his wife? to drove off? with his hand gestures which I'm pretty sure I was right. And that merce had a quick reverse and drove off.

What was so hating is that, how could one be so inane when you know the parker next to you would obviously needs to reverse his car too. And this senseless person just pushed his fucking trolley to your car when both parties knows what happens.

There are proper places to placed your trolleys. And even if you are sneaky and lazy and all that shit. If you find that the someone actually notices your action. Be ethical a bit lah. Smile and push your trolley to the proper place or somewhere that is not blockable to others vehicles?

Show some thin-skins at least.
