Letter to All

Hi All!!!

I know I've not been updating my blog for quite some time. There hasn't been any difference in my life lately. I'm still working in the same place and with the same bunch of helpful colleagues. Still having dinners with my buddies. No dates so far. Difficult to fulfil my criteria. Haha! Life had been smooth so far (touch wood). No major hiccups. I think I will be in a hiatus for a while la. Need to hibernate ma. Who knows? I might surprise you guys with an astounding post in future. Haha! *hint hint*

Ciaoz,
DominiqueBan

Valentines Eve @ Sanctuary

Dear readers, you guys must be wondering why I didn't update anything on Valentines. Haha..What you expect? An emo post from the emo Ban? LOL!!! Anyway, this year valentines was quite special. I went clubbing. Haha. At 1st we wanted to go Scarlet but don't know why suddenly Nat decided to change to Sanctuary. Doesn't matter la. Just wanna have fun.

Guess again! Haha. I went clubbing with the guy who anti clubbing, XW!! LOL. He claimed that he was forced into the club but I don't remember any pushing or shoving. Haha. Nola.. He didn't want to spoil the mood because everyone is going so he just follow lo. Hehe.

This round of clubbing was real fun. No idea why. But i asked all those who went that night, everyone said they never so much fun clubbing before. Haha. Maybe because that night we had a terror dancer, a crazy octopus, a depressed soul, a loud screamer and a toilet-sitter. Haha...if they see this, they are going to skin me alive.

Anyway, sorry for the late update. I didn't have time to download all the pics that Lynn send me. Thanks Lynn for the photo!

Dominique's Food Hunting I (featuring Man Lim and Runaway Cat)

I'm so sleepy now but I can't really sleep because the weather is so hot and humid. Why doesn't it rain on the day it is suppose to rain? Sad. Anyway, I'm so sleepy mainly because i woke up at 5am this morning to go food hunting at KL city with 2 of my buddies. Well, the Runaway Cat ran away after some having some fresh fish but me and Man Lim went on searching for the so called best curry puff in town ( it was featured in The Star so i guess it must be the best in town).

Here's the members of Dominique's Food Hunting I

RunawayCat

Man Lim (Why Man Lim? I have no idea)

I started my journey at 530am. I picked Man up at about 6am and headed to Serai Inn to pick up RunawayCat. Serai Inn was located at Jalan Hang Lekiu which is supposed to be next to Jalan Raja Chulan. Anyway, we accidentally bumped in Jalan Hang Leki

Here's an early joke by Man.

As we were listen to Ah Q's new song on radio...
Man : Maybe last time when Hang Lekiu was small, his frens call him Ah Q.
Me : LOL?

Ok. Back to the main topic. After picking up RunawayCat, we headed straight to Petaling Street for our first target, the fresh fish porridge. It is suppose to be raw fish porridge but fresh fish sounds nicer so I'll stick to fresh fish porridge. Haha. The fish was serve raw and the boiling hot porridge is to cook the fish.

Here is the fresh raw fish.

The boiling hot porridge with the fresh raw fish. Yummy.

The porridge actually taste great. It is very fine and definitely hot. The fish is just nicely cook under the heat of the porridge. Highly recommended by me. Let's see...Rating 3 1/2 star. Maybe the rating will be higher is we go earlier because according to Man, the porridge taste better at 4-5am. So I guess next time we will go earlier. Haha... No comment by the cat but which cat doesn't like fish? :D HaHa!!

After eating the porridge, RunawayCat suddenly disappear. Haha. Nola. She went for an interview at Park Royal Hotel. So the food hunting trip went on with only both of us. This time, it was difficult because Man Lim had no idea where Jalan Pasar is. I once asked a colleague, he told me it should be somewhere near pudu. Maybe near Pasar Seni. But it was no where to be found. We went driving around KL until we decided to ask someone for direction.

Man went down from the car to ask an uncle for direction. The uncle was very passionate in telling Man how to get to Jalan Pasar. He even drew a map for him. Thanks to the uncle, at last we reached Jalan Pasar. It is located along Jalan Pudu but definitely no where near Pudu.

When we reached there, it was like a success. Haha. Well, Fernando did mentioned that day that we need to celebrate our succes at every opportunity. Haha.

Here's the curry puff (sorry camera lose)

It comes in 2 flavour. Chicken or Mutton. Mutton one taste slightly better but both also very salty. The crust was nice. Man commented that the fillings were a bit creamy. Maybe because of the potato. Overall, the curry puff deserve a thumbs up but saltiness is the main issue here. I'll give it a 2 1/2 star.

Want to join us in our food hunting experience, submit to me the food you wanna try and maybe we can go together this next time. :D

Time Flies

It's me again. Don't you guys find it weird that I'm actually updating my blog everyday. It has been a long time since I had time to update my blog everyday. Yes I do have weekends but weekends are for leisure. Mind you, blogging need attention and brainwork. I need to utilise all my brain cell to read and write at the same time. Especially when I'm in office, I need to be very sensitive with my surrounding. Haha. Just trying to sound dramatic. I actually had a very busy morning. I was studying floor plans, dig into my limited knowledge of marketing trying to plan 2nd stage marketing strategies for my client and checking the details of some packaging. When the clock reached the 12 hour mark, something struck my mind. Oh damn...at this speed i'm going, I'll be bored again after lunch. Just as i thought. I'm now sitting down in front of the screen thinking of what to do. Sometimes i wonder, am i really that free or am i too fast? I hate the idea of not having anything to do. I feel very miserable. That's the reason I turn to blog, hoping to kill some time. While I blog, I've been accused of MSN-ing a few times because to my colleague and boss, when I'm typing during free time, it means chatting in MSN. Anyway, if I put myself in their shoe, I would probably think the same. Blogging is not so bad right? That's what i thought. Haha...

Ok...back to the topic. Time flies when we are busy. That's the reason when we got older, time passed us by faster. Last week when I was back in Penang, I felt time passed me by so fast that I didn't even had enough time to rest. Now that I'm back in KL, I felt time passed me by even faster. I could still remember last week Thursday at this time, I was so sick that I spent the whole noon sleeping and now it is Thursday again. If KL is a fast moving city, does that mean time moved faster as well? Aih...

I was browsing through some blogs yesterday and I saw Junn's blog. He was talking bout silly boys. Aih..I was one of the silly boy those days but I didn't had any crush on the form6 girls lo. Okla...my ex was during my form6 days also but I was in form6 already ma. Hmm..playing football under the rain....I can still remember...we will not stop playing unless the rain get so heavy that we can see each other. Street soccer. I think it is the best sport ever played by any Xaverian. Well, I can still remember how fast we ran if we broke the staff room window. LOL!Prrraaaannnggggg!!! Next moment, the court is empty. Staying back to play street soccer till 5pm is a tradition la. You can't say you never play street soccer before if you are a Xaverian.

Damn..I miss those days. I bet you guys missed it too.

But it is no time to think back. Let's think ahead and fight for a better future. Chiong arhhh!!!

Back to Work!

After spending 9 days in Penang island, I'm now back in KL. Once again entertaining the hectic life of KL city. I can say this year didn't start well for lots of us. I had been hearing complaints and quarrels even on the 1st day of CNY.

Mine didn't start good as well. I was at Lam Wah Ee Hospital on the 1st day of CNY because I had to fetch CK there. He had food allergy. His eyes and lips were swollen. Whole body rashes. Luckily it was mild. He was given 2 injections and some "pills". Haha! On the 4th day, I was down with fever. And i purposely asked my sis to come back KL on the 5th so I can use the car on the 4th. Haiz.

On Saturday, me and CK paid Tai Sui Yeh a visit. As all OX were obliged to go and visit him so that he could blessed them with some luck. Actually not bless la. I think is lend some luck because at the end of the year, we need to return it to him. Hmm...nvm...but Tai Sui Yeh rocks! Just after we visited him, we found a parking at Zim Sum. A lot of cars were queueing up but when we arrived, so zhun got car come out. LOL! We also found a table once we stepped into the restaurant.

I didn't ate a lot during the festive period because most of the time I'm outside. Sadly, I didn't manage to watch any CNY movie. I think I'm going to go for a movie spree this weekend. Who wanna join me?

Well coming back to work was not as exciting as I anticipate. Maybe I just need time to recharge battery. Having a holiday too long is no good. It makes me lazy. I tend to miss Penang more than work. Haha. Anyway, it's normal la i guess. Nobody should rest on their laurels and wait for things to happen. We push for things to happen especially during this time of our life and from the look of the economy, i think we need to push extra hard.

Fighters! Let's unite. This time, is do or die!

By the way, now I'm hoping that Tai Sui Yeh will bless me more in other aspect of life. Hehe....
