Went to this new dim sum place in Bandar Puteri 5 yesterday, it just broke the record for ‘worst dim sum restaurant ever’ in my record books. I thought the previous record couldn’t be broken (this place in Puchong Jaya) but it was. The waiters were sarcastic, the food barely edible, and the staff were more interested in eating their own meals than preparing our food. That’s the problem with dim sum restaurants here, there are good ones, but there plenty more bad ones. Look, I’m being realistic, i don’t expect Ipoh quality dim sum here (just like how Penang folks always say the assam laksa and char kuey tiau…

When my friends found out i was going to Bandung for holidays, most of them asked me “why Bandung?” or “what’s there to do in Bandung?”.

Going off on holiday again tomorrow for 5 days… With the economy like this i had to scrap my 14 day Europe tour (hahaha). Any guesses where? 🙂 Some pics to help you guess (thanks to Boone for his pics)

Weather was soooo nice then… 🙂 The drive up. cool weather. vegetable farming everywhere and anywhere. At least global warming hasn’t killed the butterflies yet. Kea Farm. Strawberries seen in pic may seem larger than real ones. Approaching Tanah Rata. My daughter smelling the roses. At Rose Valley. That’s an apple. And oranges. And grapes. Ummm. Persimmons, I think. And every shade of rose you can think of. Weird flower. Even weirder flower.…

Listening to … BFM 89.9. And sometimes RedFM. Watching on the tube … Amazing Race Season 14. Well, same teams every year, different contestants. You know, bickering couple, dumb blondes wearing pink, old couple that get kick out early, etc. But still entertaining. Playing a little too much … Farm Frenzy and Pastry Passion. I blame it on my sister in law! 🙂 Listening to on Youtube … Ozzy Osbourne. Old school, man. Watching off the Net … Well, the usual – Battlestar Galactica (4 more episodes!), Top Chef, Pushing Daisies, Flight of the Conchords, Robot Chicken, Jericho, Samantha Who?, True Blood, just a few lah. 🙂 After dinner, its…
