White & Blue Wedding

Sun 25th Oct 2009, we were invited to Aziz and Vina's wedding reception. I like the colour combination of white and baby blue theme..The couple has been together for 9 years and finally tied the knot. The emcee pandai mengawal majlis and berbunga bahasa and it was a nice surprise to find out she was a friend of mine... The host have planned the party well, they had cultural and singing performances intervals, classy decor and music yang syok and paling penting the food was not late.

Ariff had good fun playing chopsticks drum and gobbling up the muruku..culture shocked dia nampak the Murut warriors..
Wedding favour
Aziz's high school chums..tu yang sebelah kanan Aziz is next! Tapi bila?
Congrats Aziz n Vina..semoga jodoh mendapat berkat dan kekal ke akhir hayat..

Ben's 1st Colouring Contest

Sat 24th October, 2009...Eon Bank Jln. Gaya. Ben's class teacher wanted to enter Benjy in the bank's colouring contest for kids of 5yrs. So Ben was the last to arrive and datang koboi saja bawa colouring set saja while the rest looked so professional with their own table and chairs, glove, sapu tangan and extensive colour set. Dengan rilek si Ben sat on the floor and Nabil insisted to share the spot with him..saja menyibuk.

After time up, the bank staff organised two games to occupy the kids while the judges deliberated. Nabil yang paling kicik kemain lagi join. Poison ball..and Nabil got 1st place (last man standing heheheh)..

Bawa bola ping pong pakai sudu...awal lagi suda fail.
And the winner is....Ben got 2nd place but he insisted he got 1st coz his trophy said 1st Runner Up..mana-mana sajalah Ben..his Dad was most proud sebab betul-betul tidak sangka Ben could beat budak'budak pro yang ambil art classes..Ben's reaction: selamba..heheh

Hari Taska

Fri 23rd October, 2009..Putra Ballroom Nabil's 1st concert..everyone was excited to see the shy Nabil perform his tarian Melayu..we've seen him practise many times at home so tonight will be the his big night. 20 perfromances from Taska children all over KK will perform their dances and Nabil's turn is the 15th slot.

This cute Unduk Ngadau was trying to get Nabil's attention, balik-balik limpas depan our table and jeling si Nabil. Finally I asked Nabil to take pix with her and made her day hahahah..
Lalang...si paku lalang..dia lah yang paling damit

Comfort food

Warm fluffy halal chinese style pau...this was the 1st I encountered buttermilk pau. Nice. Must grab also sardine pau..these few days I'm gonna spend in Membakut I'll sure stuff myself silly with these pau.

Dulu-dulu

Remember these kedai runcit favourites back when...hubs found 'em at Kg. Ketiau kedai runcit and we were like two budak sekolah in glee makan biskut cap King Kong and main pistol..tapi sayangnya the api tidak kuar..Si Nabil yang menghabiskan biskut ni.
It's nice to find these things that was so much part of our childhood...teringat masa carefree days dulu..

Rotating Lunch

Oh just had a nice lunch with the girls..hosted by the lovely Ms. B. We used to work together at the 7th-windowless-floor of a well-known hotel in KK.
Chatty, loud, beketawaan mcm we own dat place..
I had this Udang Goreng Sambal..the prawn was a tad over cooked..taste was oklah..
Ms. S just had this salad..diet konon coz she's aging and had to wear a size bigger than usual heheh, tapi dia ngap juga udang si Ms. F..
Ms. F punya Penne Salad..yg di background tu is doing her sexy pout look..
My Seafood chowder..
The house signature drink..ingredients..serai, lychee, gula melaka & soda water..
Pening-pening lalat oredy..

Di Puncak Borneo

Last Tuesday I went on a fam trip to one of our co's premises..a local entreprenuer has turned it into a rustic resort beautifully located at the slopes on the way to Kinabalu Park..it started full operation June this year and has since been receiving encouraging guests arrivals to its doors.

The reception lobby down there..
The walkway towards restaurant and rooms..
I'm particularly smitten by this traditional looking lanai (mcm anjung, they've made this into a recreation room)..u can sit while reading or playing board games sambil gazing out to the mountain valley..
Dorm..comfy..got heater some more..dont think u'd find it anywhere else around this neighbourhood..and it also has it's own kitchen..how thoughful..for the very budget traveller..
Superior room..cheapest after the dorms that is..it was a nice surprise to see a modern designed comfortable room when i opened the door..was expecting the typical cabin like rooms with more wooden furniture..and i like the splash of lime green duvet..so ceria..
This is the executive room if nda silap..
Koi n carp pond..the pandan is absorbing the dirt in the kolam..
with the boss of Puncak Borneo En. Abu Bakar n wife..
Another nice place to stay if anyone is heading to Kundasang or Natinal Park..
