Quiet Month...

It's been a quiet month on my blog. Yeah, I've been a bit lazy to do my updates. I've got tonnes of photos to edit and burn but didn't quite get up to it.

So, what have I been up to?

1. Parents went to Chiang Mai for a holiday - leaving me to take care of the dogs and etc.
- I have to rush back from the office during lunch to release both dogs for their toilet break.
- Good that I can have lunch at home which is cheaper and healthier.
- Bad that I had to race up and down, paying double tolls for the time they were away.

2. More work
- Yes, I had some work to do which was both interesting and frustrating at once.

3. Rush, rush, rush on my b'day yesterday
- Yes, I've turned another year older. Am I wiser. Errr... Jury is still out on that.
- I had to rush quite a number of things yesterday. It feels like last year all over again when I was under immense pressure to get something up to show to my client.
- This year, I had to prepare for a small demo but thank goodness it's only for the R&D team.

4. My photos?
- Aaaaaahhhh.. I'll post something up on a lovely small eatery I visited a couple of months back...

Anyway, it's a Friday. Time to take it easy.

Have a great weekend folks!

Fusion Japanese & Italian @ Pasta Zanmai, Empire Subang

It's ashamed that Japan never met Italy in the World Cup this year. However, you can always try a mesh of these two countries at Pasta Zanmai.

Empire Subang is fast becoming a very popular spot for us locals around Subang Jaya, Sunway & USJ. The lower ground floor is dedicated to food and it is home to a couple of big restaurant franchises - Chilli's, Italiannies and Rakuzen.

Excitement In The Air

There's a tinge of excitement in the air. Can you feel it?

Rusty certainly can...

Germany vs Spain. Ooooo...

An Afternoon With The Dogs

Wow. Time certainly passes by quickly. We're already in July...

I'd guess for Snoopy & Rusty - time is something they have a lot in their paws.

Stretch Your Muscles!

I've been suffering from back pain for the past week or so. I've visited the physio twice for treatment which was some improvement but there was still pain.

What a Lovely F/22 Day

It's a bright, sunny Sunday morning.

Makes you feel like sitting in some shade, having a great brunch.

However, I'm out of bacon and eggs & so, had to contend myself with a slice of waffle smothered with peanut butter and kaya.

Snoopy, on the other hand enjoyed her morning sunbath along with her brother Rusty.

Did Someone Mention... FRIDAY??

Yep, the weekend is just around the corner. It's so close that I can feel it.

Both Snoopy & Rusty also sense a BATH is heading in their immediate direction this weekend too.

Have a great weekend. Hope that your Friday is as productive as possible... Yes Yes... Football this weekend too. ;-)

I'm Ready For My Close-Up

Last month, my company had a team-building event up at Bukit Tinggi. I had already explored the place inside and out in my last trip and so, wasn't very keen on taking more photos of the buildings again.

However, armed with my 17-70mm, I was interested to see what kind of landscape shots I could capture.

Weekend Brunch.... @ Dome

What I enjoy during the weekend, besides the pleasure of waking up an hour later, is scoffing down a delicious breakfast/brunch.

Some weeks back I accompanied EV to brunch at Dome. She had the desire of trying out the breakfast menu ever since we dropped by the place for coffee one day.

Mom's 65th B'day

This post is long overdue...

Mom celebrated her 65th birthday last month.

It was a simple affair, we opted to just have a simple dinner nearby and some cake. Mom said that she didn't mind as her birthday fell on a working weekday.

Bak Chang.... Yum!!

Happy Bak Chang festival!

Kekekeke... Actually, it's the Dragon Boat festival but most of us remember only the yummy rice dumplings during this time of year.

Wear Your Colours, Support Your Team!

It's time to be excited.

A Great Time Waster...

I wonder.. if the one image will say it all....

Hehehe... This has been taking up a lot of my time for nearly a week now. I love it!

P/S: This photo was taken with my Sigma 17-70mm lens.

Esquire Goodness...

Esquire Kitchen is pretty much an institution in KL. One of my earliest memories of it was having dinner with my family when I was three or four years old at the one of the oldest restaurants situated in Sungai Wang.

Over the past 30-odd years of my life, the food has remained pretty much the same, except for a few new additions. The decor has changed slightly but the main theme of the restaurant still remained the same.

Ninjas Sell Burgers?

I'm finally getting around to this post about one of my favourite burgers...

Even Gundam loves these burgers...

Kuching Hawker Food

I certainly enjoyed the hawker food in Kuching.

In fact, my most favourite food is Kuching Laksa. Kuching Laksa is very different from the curry laksa served in KL. The main difference is that it has prawns and egg slices served with it.

The bee hoon noodles are also a bit thicker than your regular bee hoon. Absolutely delicious...

Sunset

Sunset at the beach was really a relaxing experience. The beach was quiet and empty.

R&R @ Damai Puri Resort

Damai Puri resort is a beach side resort just about 45-minutes drive out of Kuching.

It is a bit isolated but the beach is just amazing! I've been here previously but didn't manage to take photos of the beach then.

Cat City... Meow! Meow!

I finally got around to editing some of my holiday photos.

Somehow, I have this nagging feeling that I should have taken more photos than necessary. *sigh*... I'd guess I'm still quite "frugal" when it comes to my photography. Nevertheless, it was a good experience to learn what it is like to lug all my gear around.

Recharged and Rejuvenated...

Am back at work.

However, I can't help but feel physically tired but mentally recharged and rejuvenated now.

I miss the lovely views and the cool breeze...
