Chilling with the Couzie - Day 2

Day 2 - Changkat & Sg. Wang

Our day started late as Couzie had a hair cut and I went for the pre-employment medical check-up. So by the time we reached downtown, it was almost 4+. Us being us, cocktails were desperately needed after a long, hot afternoon. We headed to TwentyOne @ Changkat (one of my fav's place in Changkat) for a drinky or...two before we began the spree in Sg. Wang.

* Mojitos and Special Calamari with Ginger Dipping *

* It was Happy Hour and it was Buy 1 Free 1 (whoopee!!!), so we had another round of Cosmos before heading to Sg. Wang .. check out Couzie's new haircut!! *

Sg. Wang has always been too chaotic for my liking, however, much to my surprise, I did find some good buys. As for the Couzie, he literally went mad there and couldn't pull the plug. Everything was a steal and such a bargain for him. Haha ... He was practically beaming and vowed to go back for more as we finally made an exit from the mall. We decided to have dinner at Yoko's (@ Changkat Bukit Bintang) and I desperately needed to take a leak. Plus, we couldn't decide on which restaurant so we took a random pick.

* Dragon Maki roll (super huge) & surprisingly, delicious!! *

* Okonomiyaki *

* Takoyaki ( a huge disappointment compared to the other 2 amazing dishes) *

For a random pick, Yoko's turned out to be pretty alright. However, 2 consecutive days of cocktails and shopping has definitely left us exhausted. After a gin and tonic each, we headed to Subang, had to drop off Couzie. They (other Couzie and her frenz) were heading for Perhentian that night. I literally knocked off when I reached my pad. It was barely 11pm. Haha .. Who knew shopping and chilling could be this exhausting? ..

Chilling with the Couzie - Day 1

The precious Couzie has arrived from Melbourne!!! 

Day 1 - MidValley and Gardens:

(Morning - Ehem! It's actually brunch @ Fah Kee, Seremban ;P )

* Fishball noodle soup (kuey teow) @ Seremban *

We were literally starving by the time we left the house, so we did a pit-stop to this oldie for a bowl of noodle soup before heading to KL! 

( Noon @ MidValley )

* A drinky @ delicious before we began our shopping spree *

* Cocktails, of course!! Caprioska for Couzie plus shoestring fries with aeoli (aeoli was a major disappointment!!) *

* Thailicious for me (pretty refreshing but bit stingy on the vodka though ;P) *

* Pretty nice place to chill despite the hot humid weather & we can't be separated from our BB's ..lol .. *

(Tea time @ Alexis, The Gardens )

* One of my fav's, a subtle place to relax and have a bite & drinks of course *

We were feeling a bit peckish, so we ordered some sides to share ...

* Rocket and Parmesan Salad (again, they could've been more generous on the Parmesan) *

* Roasted potatoes - Yummy!! My fav sides @ Alexis *

* Our drinkies - Cold, glass of beer for me and choc shake for Couzie (he decided to take a break from alcohol) *

After Alexis, we were contemplating whether to continue to walk around or save some energy for tomorrow and head for Happy Hour instead. The latter won. So, Zouk Cafe was the next place of destination.

(Happy Hour @ Zouk Cafe, The Gardens)

* Check this out : Happy Hour promo - Buy 1 free 1 *

* Gin & tonic - Erm! We had 3 glasses of these babies each. Chill, much? Totally!!! *

Around 8pm, we decided to head to Ninja Joes @ Northpoint for dinner but little did we know what we were about to encounter... The god damn place WAS CLOSED!!! Frustrating, 'coz we had to lug ourselves from Gardens to MidValley to Northpoint. Long journey!!! I guess business wasn't good so they decided to close the place plus, location wise was bad because Northpoint was a very quiet place to have a Japanese Izakaya. Hence, dinner was at Xenri, Old Klang Road instead. A major consolation, I must say!!

(Dinner @ Xenri D'RiverView)

* We decided to sit at the bar instead of the boring tables at the bottom .. *

* Fresh seafoods *

* More alcohol - Cold Sake! *

* Appetiser - Hanpen Cheese Age (Fried Japanese Fish Cake Stuffed with Cheese)  .. This stuff is amazingggg... Love it!! Must try!! *

 

* Sashimi of course is A MUST!!! *

* Inaniwa Udon - Delicious!! We had ours cold .. You can eat it hot too! *

* Watana Ebi Maki (Tempura Prawn Roll with Tanuki) *

* Couzie wanted dessert so we ordered the Sesame Ice-Cream ... Thumbs up!! *

I must say, Xenri has definitely entered my list of 'Must-try' Japanese Restaurants. Am totally satisfied, both food wise and service too!! Oh! Fyi, they have buffet promotions on Sunday, all-u-can-eat at RM50++. Worth a try!! What an amazing chill out day!!! The day ended with the famous Hokkien Mee supper @ Jalan 222. I'm stuffed for the day, that's for sure!! 

p/s:- Another amazing thing is I DID NOT purchase anything!! *pat on the back* Hahaha... See! I do have self-control.. though I almost (but didn't) did splurge on the pair of metal green Aldo's that I've been eyeing on. 

Pre-employment to do list ...

I've been postponing this 'To do' list for the past 2 weeks and as always, good times flies. My funemployment is coming to an end in approximately 7 days ..*sobs* .. Anyways, I'm going to enjoy and make full use of it before going back into the rat race again!

Schedule for last week of funemployment:-

2. Complete KWSP (to maintain getting 11% deduction instead of the standard 8%) application form for the new company.
3. Complete Citibank's corporate card application form for the new company. (Solely for business purposes only)
4. Complete Computer Usage and Internet Code of Conduct forms. (I'll be getting my own notebook and broadband for the dreaded daily reports)
5. Pick up precious Couzie arriving from Melbourne at the LCCT airport.

4. Sleep, sleep, sleep. (doubt that I'll be getting enough rest with the trainings and examinations throughout the whole AUG. Boo!!)

(Sunday)

1. Think of the perfect outfit to kickstart my 1st employment day!! (essential)

So, I guess it's gonna be a pretty full-on week of funemployment before going back into the 'real world'. Eeekkss!! 5 months of funemployment ending soon. But it's totally worth it .. ^.^

Why Men Don't Have a Clue & Women Always Need More Shoes ...

I must say, this book by Barbara and Allan Pease (also author of Why Men Want Sex & Women Want Love) is a such bore !! Why Men Don't Have A Clue & Women Always Need More Shoes (Totally agree on this!! We DO need more shoes *evil smile*) is more on understanding the behavior of the opposite sex. Boring!!! Actually, I was speed reading (in other words, flipping) through the whole book.

Anyways, the few points I'd like to share from the book : -

(Quotes from the book)

• The more the nagger nags, the more isolated she becomes.  <---- Never become like your parents !!!

- The only real outcome from nagging is the destruction of the relationship between the nagger and the victim.

• The only way to live a life of complete freedom is to live alone on a desert island where there are no rules. Being in a relationship is like getting a driver's license. If you want to be a motorist, you must learn the road rules and follow them - otherwise you'll always be a pedestrian. A relationship is simply a negotiation with rules -- If your want love, friendship, sex and a person who will nurture you, you must offer something in return!!! You can't have your cake and eat it too. What women expect in return is love, devotion and loyalty. The last thing on their minds is taking away a man's freedom!!! 

Last but not least, a joke ... ^.^

"It's good to be a man because you don't have to leave the room to adjust your private parts."

[OST]My Fair Lady - Romance by Yoon Eun Hye and Yoon Sang Hyun ...

Bring tears to my eyes whenever I listen to this song (love Yoon Eun Hye's voice) ... Sometimes, no matter how strong you are, you can never run away from sadness.....
