can't speak!!!

OMG!! I lost my voice..It just happened gradually..started from sorethroat, mild flu, and voila! i sound like a transvestite..Pfffttt!!! Accompanied my ex-colleague to shop for a massive load of mooncakes at 1-Utama , had dinner and proceeded to The Library @eCurve (formerly known as Cineleisure). So there we were, met up with another colleague of mine. I had some Stella Artois, they were having a promotion (Buy 1 pint free half pint), while my ex-colleague ordered Hoegarden (same promo). In the midst of our conversation, my friends suddenly notice the loss of my voice..i was basically croaking..*Haha*..

The next morning, woke up with no voice at all..*Yikes!*.. How sexy could that be, huh?

Basically, the day passed by quickly today..

1. Finished off the balance of 'Tau Foo Fa' from last night.

2. Polished off half of a chocolate flavored jelly mooncake bought yesterday.

3. Went to the bank to transfer some $ for a friend in need.

4. Drove down to Trader's Hotel to pass the BB cream to my bestie and collected my Balenciaga Giant City bag (*yippeee*).

5. Got some take-away of Ipoh Hor Fun and Fresh Prawn Wanton soup for lunch.

6. Received a call from my colleagues to meet them for Happy hour at The Library at 2pm.

7. Took a shower & got ready for The Library.

8. Reached The Library at 3pm, met some other reps and had endless rounds of Stella Artois (sick of Hoegarden).

9. Proceeded to The Curve for dinner @TGI Fridays.. (Had a Frozen Margharita there and of course! some food too).

10. Home sweet Home. Alas! *phew*

What a day!! Plus, still no voice!! Pffttt...

Plan to take MC tomorrow..need the rest after a long, hectic and super stressfull week. Can't wait for the weekend to arrive..

Here are some pics of the jelly mooncakes i bought..(*irresistible*). I bought 5 flavors in total, couldn't resist the temptation last night, wallopped 2 (1 Tiramisu & 1 Peach flavored mooncake - DELICIOUS!!) before i slept last night (*aiyaya*).

These are pics of the rest:-

* Chocolate flavored jelly mooncake*

* Green tea with redbean filling jelly mooncake*

*White lotus paste jelly mooncake*

These are from Q-jelly, available at The Curve, 1-Utama, and Puchong. Among the varieties of flavors available besides these are Durian, Strawberry, Pandan, Red-Bean, Sweet Corn. The popular ones would be Peach, Strawberry, Chocolate, Pandan & Green Tea with Redbean filling. The big ones are RM11.50 each while the mini one's are sold at RM3.50 per piece. Something different from the traditional mooncakes. I LIKE!! =)

time of the month =(

ARgHHHHhh... HATE PRE-MENSTRUAL CRAMPS!!! Why do women have to go through all these shytes while the men have fun? Periods, Cramps, Pregnancies, Labor, etc.. Men - Nada!!! Alright, to be fair, some and i repeat ONLY SOME of the men experience some severe hair loss, leading to baldness while OTHER men might experience some conditions known as ED (Erectile Dysfunction). BUTTT, these are just so mild if compared to the lists of hardships that women have to endure. SO UNFAIR!!!

Popped a dose of Arcoxia to help relief my period pain. However, it only helped a 'lil this time and my throat is just so sore and aching badly..Aiks! I hope my senses are wrong this time and i don't get bitten by the flu-bug next. You see, sore-throat and flu comes together, i mean for me based on past experiences. So, hope i'm wrong this time (*fingers crossed*). Suffering from PMS is bad enough, falling sick will just make things worst.

And FINALLY, September is coming to an end soon. It has been a not so good month for me so hopefully there will be better things awaiting for me in October. Well, the past week was just hectic. It has been a hell of a week for me: busy with work (closing for quarter 3), was feeling nauseous, bloated and suffered from indigestion and heartburns the whole week, attending birthdays, planning of wedding games, my friend's pre-wedding games discussion, pre-wedding day buffet dinner at her house, wedding dinner..Gosh! I feel so drained, especially today, with the constant PMS =( , sore-throat AND lack of sleep.

Madam PMS, would you please please please go away??

Sir Arcoxia, why aren't you working??

I think i'm going nuts soon..HAHA!! Do i hear a C.R.A.Z.Y?

Guess i better hit the sack early today! It has been a long and tiring day. May tomorrow be a better day! *ZZZZZzzzzzzzz*

puppies for sale

I Lurrrveee doggies...Went to my friend's house to check out and hang out with the cutest toy poodles EVERRR!!! Just a month old..i named them the '3 musketeers'.. Goshh!!!! Soo darn cute... These are of breed, selling for rm1600, short legged toy poodles.

Here are some pics of the doggies..

* 3 cutiepies

* Naughties

* Ain't tat a cutie?

* So adorable... ^_^

* Looks like a soft toy.. (oh! tat's ugly my toe)

Oh! And here are some pics of their other doggies..some of the pics were quite blur, so deleted them..They also own 2 super, hyperactive Yorkshires (a male & female), a noisy Jack Russel and the best-behaving Polly ever (Looks like a bulldog but erm..with a body of a normal dog).

* He's such a good boy!!! (Note:- He's worth 5k or more)

* The hyper female Yorkshire super-excited to take a pic.

Well, it was the best night ever for me. The sight of them just lights up my heart and at that moment, i totally forgot about all the stress and problems. It has been a hell of a week. Been bitten by the sick-bug, had food poisoning on Monday night, spent the whole Tuesday wasted because i was too sick to get out of bed. There goes my Raya holidays. Me H.E.A.R.T doggies (*MUACKSS* to the cute lil thingy's). Wish i could have one for myself =( ..

mooncakes

Went shopping today..NOT FOR ME!!! (Note:- Shopping ban. Yeah! I still remember). Since Mid-Autumn Festival is arriving, bought some mooncakes for a few of my key customers (*LOL*). Another short shopping spree.. I'm quite impressed by the packagings and varieties of mooncakes available this year. Didn't have my camera with me though, couldn't take pictures of the cute, creative packaging and delicious varieties of mooncakes available. I had a budget of rm200 (rm100 per customer, and was limited to 2 customers) so i made full use of the money provided. Here are the pics of the mooncakes i bought:-

* The box (bit on the traditional side)

* The Mooncakes (Top: Shanghainese; Bottom: White lotus single-yolk)

* Details 'bout the origins of Mid-Autumn Festival

* Renaissance's paper bag (bit *blurghh* rite?)

* The big box

* The small 'lil boxes holding the mooncakes.

* Westin's paperbag (nicer, huh?)

The ones from Hilton KL and Shangri-la Hotel had intricate designs in terms of packaging. The boxes were shaped like a drawer cum traditional chinese basket..too bad my budget wasn't enough for these two..they were impressive though. And they had loads of varieties for the 'pingpei' (snow skin mooncakes)..a delight for the eyes as well as your tummy =P . Didn't get any for myself as i am not a big fan of mooncakes, except for those made of jelly. Oh, and Haagen Daz's ones were pretty divine..but expensive though, think around rm32 just for a small mooncake (the size of the snowskin mooncake).

Wanna head out for Bak-Kut Teh at SS14 subang now.. my tummy is growling..HUNGRYYY!!!

u

DON'T SAY U UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE U DON'T!
DON'T SAY U DO IT FOR MY GOOD, BECAUSE U DIDN'T!
DON'T SAY U DON'T WANT ME TO GET HURT, BECAUSE U HURT ME!
DON'T SAY U DON'T WANT ME TO BE SAD, BECAUSE U MADE ME SAD!
DON'T SAY U CARE, BECAUSE U DON'T!!!

IT'S ALL FUCKING EXCUSES!!!

Spur of the moment..

Hmm.. have you ever done things at the spur of the moment? Well, i did last night! Haha..

Outcome:- Exhilarating, breath-taking and left me with no regrets.

Well, it's been a tough and tiring week for me. Travelling, trainings, boss from hell and unsettled issues. So, i guess all this must have triggered my sudden braveness. Thank god for the long weekend (Hari Raya hols) which is badly needed because next week will be another rough week to go. Quarter closing!

Gosh, so damn stressed out. I really hope and pray hard that a miracle would be bestowed upon me coz i REALLY, need it badly. REALLY, REALLY need to hit my target.

Loads to do for the up-coming week, especially with upcoming gal-friend's wedding, am in-charge of planning of games for the wedding morning (to be played by the groom and his buddies), birthday celebrations and last but not least, the ever stressful work, work, work.

Can barely wait for September to come to an end...

So near but yet so far!

Sighh..it's alwiz like this every quarter..especially the most crucial month for the quarter..soooOOo damn STRESSED OUT!!!!

Target for Q3:-

Botox - 252 vials ( 202v till date - 50 more to go)

Juvederm - RM 42k (RM 38.4k - 3.6 k (100%); 7.8k (110%) )

I know i'm not that far off BUTTT...next week is Hari Raya hols..n some docs will be on leave for a week..and when they're back, it's already the closing. I'm constantly having panic attacks every single night leading to Xanax consumption (my version of Happy Pill) to de-stress and control my anxiety. Please god! I need a miracle. Everytime i'm so close to hitting my target, something will happen. I really hope not this time. Pleaseeeee...i need the $...desperately and i've worked way too hard and have gone through too much stress recently (car accident etc..). Plus, i just want to prove to that asshole that i can hit my target and shut his god damn smelly mouth once and for all..so PLEASSEee god!! I need some help..Please let me hit my target *fingers crossed* !!!

The past few days was outstation, covering the southern side of Malaysia with my asshole manager. Managers are supposed to help you out during this crucial moment BUUTTt.. this asshole doesn't (*GRRRR*) and he drives like F***!!! Imagine taking up one and a half lanes on the highway..and he is practically the most annoying road hogger on earth. So to those people who see a Nissan Sentra (old version) with the car no.plate WLB 1038...PLEASEEE...don't go so near...your lives may be at risk..for a guy in mid-30's, his driving skill is like SHITTTTT!!!

Anyways, it's good to be back in KL> wat an unbearable few days..thank god! one of my hometown bestie, was covering the southern side as well so i had company at least.. After i manage to ditch that pain in the ass manager, we went for drinks @ The Zon, JB and Geographer (located at Jonker Street) in Malacca. Oh! This reminds me that we had the most annoying incident @The Zon. It goes like this..My friend and i were having a drink at Modestos when suddenly a guy (100% ah beng) came over to our table and started rambling, using the cheesiest and lamest opening phrase..Basically, we didn't want to be rude and just 'layan' him for a few secs thinking he'll leave us alone soon. To our uttermost surprise, he sat down at our table and started talking crap..bla!bla!bla! And he had the cheeks to ask for some beer. We ordered a tower of Carlsberg (happy hour, rm37.4 *cheap, huh?*). Anyways, my friend allowed him to pour a glass for himself and then we asked him to order another tower and he paid..i think he was pissed drunk because he was just rambling non-stop..freaking annoying and my friend and i practically just ignored him and were constantly hinting for him to leave us alone. Eventually, he excused himself and left us for good *phew*..Thank god! So, we had a free tower of beer all thanks to that stupid, crappy, full of shit 'ah beng'..

It's 4 am now and i still can't sleep. *AARGGGGJHHHHH**** (How come my 'Happy Pill' is still not working yet?????)

I hope my prayers will be answered and I really, really, really hope that I WILL BE ABLE TO HIT MY TARGET!!! God! Please help me..DESPERATELY need your help badly this time!!! *fingers crossed*

GRRRr...

Internet connection SUPER slow todayy....as usual...guess it's better than not having any internet connection at all.. living on the 'Hills' is not such a good thing after all..nothing works here..AND not that there are much choices of broadbands available in the country...Well, let's see:-

• P1 Wimax - SUCKS!! First 3 days - connection so so ..Subsequent 3-4 days before the 7 days free trial was over - NO (n i mean zero) connection at all. Hence, we returned the god damn thing!
• Celcom - Using it currently. Sometimes stable, sometimes not.. Overall, average connection only.
• Maxis - same as Celcom. Previously, Maxis had a lot of bad reviews because it was very, very slow.
• Digi - haven't tried yet. But heard it's worse than Celcom and Maxis.
• Streamyx - Seems to be much faster but due to some problems with my condo's phone line, can't apply for Streamyx.

Anyways, it is all due to the area, reason behind, coverage blocked by the hill next to our condominium.. (stupid huh?)..i thought staying on the Hills will give us better coverage but seems not..GRRRRRrrrr...oh well! just have to make do with whatever's available, huh?..ZZzzzzzz

Stupid me!

Hmm...
For starters, i burnt a huge hole on one of my favorite work-shirts while i was ironing it this morning (*yikes*). Stupid me! I forgot to check the heat mode on the iron before i placed it on my shirt. The instant moment when i placed the iron on my shirt, i knew that the heat was wrong..Pfffftttt..and there it was..a hhHUGE HOLE right in the middle & burnt smell !! All thanks to my own ignorance and stupidity =( !!!

Note: - NEVER, EVER use heat mode for cotton on polyester & ALWIZ, ALWIZ, check your heat mode before ironing!!!!

* Front view

* Back view

* Upclose (hhhuugee hole)

So, there you go..some evidence of my own stupidity!

Oh well, damage done. Fav shirt in the bin now (*sob*). Hence, seeked for an alternative work-shirt, silk this time (no more ironing involved =P) to match with my outfit for today.

* White, silk shirt (Esprit collection)

Wrap skirt (Armani Exchange)

Silk scarf turned into belt (bought during one of my China trips)

* Red bag & Hortense Mary-Janes (ALDO)

* Accessories :-

Pearl bracelet (Mum's)

Pearl earrings (bought during one of my China trips)

* Butterfly ring (Perlini's Silver)

Btw, on my way to work, i saw a huge (ok! exaggerating a tad bit) monitor lizard on the road, right in the middle of fast-moving traffic. Questions:- How did it get stuck in the middle of the road?? And where did it come from? Hmm.. probably Mr. Lizard's day out to the big city.. *hehe* .. Well, had goosebumps initially. Am deeply horrified and scared of any reptiles in general, big or small. On my way back, i passed by the same road again..and i thought, Mr. Lizard must be traumatized by the fast-moving traffic and couldn't crossed the road. Poor thing!

Highlights of the day would be the squabble at Dr Ting's clinic (famous dermatologist, @jln. imbi). There i was, casually waiting as usual to see the doc when all of a sudden, i realized the lady at the counter was talking REAL loud and was REALLY pissed off. Apparently, she has been told to come around 2pm and there was only 3 other patients ahead of her. So, she waited and waited and it was still not her turn yet. And i guess the tone of the other person was not really appropriate so that made the situation worse. Hence, the drama. In the end, the patient left without getting any treatment coz she couldn't stand waiting any longer.

Next, a couple who was sitting next to me approached the nurse at the counter and initiated another drama. Tsk! Tsk! Everyone and anyone that goes to Dr Ting knows that the queue is very long and waiting is required. Yeah, i understand sometimes as a patient, it can be very unbearable but, what can you do? It's a well-known fact in this clinic. They don't take appointments or bookings. You have to queue up according to your number, that is if you manage to get any (you have to go really early if you're adamant about getting treatment there, serious!!).

Anyways, both hubby & wifey of Squabble No. 2, was pissed off (yeah! My personal opinion would be: - 1. Over-reacting. 2. Trying to take advantage of the previous squabble to see whether they can cut the long queue.) and hubby started shouting profanities at the nurses behind the counter, while wifey was scolding at the back. C.R.A.Z.Y!! Conclusion, wifey continued to wait for their turn after all that unnecessary drama, and hubby took the kids to have lunch. Hmm... these people can officially be nominated for an Oscar award (*LOL*).. Well hello, drama queens & kings!!

SHORTEST SPREE EVERR!!

OMG! I just had the shortest shopping sprint ever, shocking huh? I only spent 15 mins max @ Marks & Spencer, 1 Utama, practically ignored the rows of retail seduction along the way, went in, stuck with my shopping list, paid and left.

Reason being :- Imposed a SHOPPING BAN (*Scowls*) till i get my new car and settle off my debts.

Howeverrrr...me being me, i did detoured a tad bit on my way out. I saw the cutest pair of two-toned ballet pumps that comes in two colors - suede and dark blue (luv 'em both) and flashes of outfits that will match these cutesy lovlies instantly came into mind . Spontaneously, before i could control myself, my hand reaches to touch the smooth and comfy outlining of the pumps & automatically checked out the price. The price is actually quite reasonable, rm139. I practically had to drag myself out of the shop (*Grrr*).

Conclusion, i did manage to resist the strong urge to give in to the alluring goods displayed, e.g;- shoes (MY DEARLY BELOVED *sob*) and walked off (i really did!!). I am very proud of myself (*pat on the back*). BTW, ALDO was just next to M & S and i literally had to walk with my eyes glued to the floor and pretend it wasn't there. Actually, there was still a lovely pair of sequined stilletos (one of a kind) that i wanted to get BUTTT..i dun think so, now that i am officially BANNED from buying clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics, skincare..anything & everything till god knows when. (*heartbreaking*)

Anyways, here are some pics of the M & S confectionaries (Commanded by my beloved Mummy to carry out this task) that i bought for my dearie 'ol sis:-

* Mint Humbugs (Family fav)

* Fruit sherbets

* Ginger snaps

* Milk Choc. digestive biscuits.

* Dutch shortcake

* Mini fingers & wafer curls (My splurge - 2 for rm19 =P)

* Yummy mini fingers (*sorry, couldn't help it. had to taste some =P)

Thus, instead of retail therapy, i would have to succumb to food therapy (*oh god!!!*). For the past few days, i had cravings for chocolates. Hence, the mini fingers and wafer curls. Awwww...this is just torturous mannn..not being able to shop (*booohoo*). I've even refrained myself from window shopping. It's like rubbing salt into your wounds.

Oh well, in order to strive through these rough times, i have formulated a few strategies;-

• REFRAIN from stepping into any shopping malls or retail shops.
• Make do with whatever's available!
• Think of more ways to mix & match old outfits.
• Make use of clothes & shoes that have been bought ages ago but have not been worn (yes! not even once..errr, i'm sure it's pretty normal, eh? >.<)
  

* Me & my ALDOs (at the back)

I can do it!!! (*fingers crossed*) ...

'People'

Some 'People' just have the audacity to hurt others and act like they are the one being hurt. AND.. this is the best part, 'they' have the nerve to advice you on how to judge a person, how not to get cheated..bla! bla! bla! .. all bullshits!!!! $@#$$%^..

Meanwhile, the other 'People' have the cheeks to take advantage of others and act like they're so DAMN noble.

To the hell with these dumb-ass 'People'!!! Wasting my precious breath being pissed off and getting all worked up BCOZ of these 'People'. The world would definitely be a better place without these pathetic 'lil souls.

Hmmm... as i am writing this, Michael Jackson's song 'Beat it' came into mind. To be precise, i am actually listening to the whole long list of Jacko's songs on my iTunes ... *LOL*

"Just beat it.... beat it...it doesn't matter who's wrong or right. just beat it...."


*phew* Ok, feeling so much better now..

pre-hen's night

Well, i've decided that i'll just have to put my problems aside just for today. Tonight, i will be attending one of my girl friend's hen's night.


Venue - Passion (VIP area)
Pax - 25 person (+/-).
Dress code - Black.


Here are some pics of the props that i was in-charged to get for 'The Gal' : -

* Angel's wings to be worn by 'The Gal' all night

* Magic wand

Basically, the theme was supposed to be 'Angel vs Devils'. Angel - 'The Gal', Devils - Us ('The gang'). Hence, the wings and wand. We wanted to get devil hairbands for everyone but didn't manage to due to certain reasons. However, we will all be dressed in black and her in white.


Here is my choice of outfit for tonight:-

* Black, corset top (MNG)

* Black, lacy chemise (La Senza) - to be worn under the top

* Corset + chemise - like this!

To be paired with: -

* Black, Lizzy jeans (MNG)

* Doriana stilletos (ALDO)

* Wristlet (Coach)

Need to go get ready now. Kinda late (*aiks*). Ciao!! PPPParrtyyyy!!!!

return of bad luck...

Problems, why didn't you go away??? More and more problems are ambushing me from left, right, centre, front again. It's like under a death sentence, being forced to stand in front of a firing squad and you can't do no shit about it. Why???? I think i'm on the verge of insanity soon. Is this somehow a way of god's punishment to me?? Did i do something wrong???

The epiphany of not having a car right now is just too much to bear.. Especially for someone in sales. I depend solely on my car to do my job. My car literally is my source of income. Without one, it's like being crippled! Plus, to make things worse, it's my most critical moment of all, my closing month for the quarter!! And this quarter, i stand a very high chance of hitting my target!!!

I used to be and was a strong, independent and tough person all along..TILL NOW..i don't know really know how long i can take it anymore..!!! I've tried to look at things positively but it's just too sudden AND ...TOO MUCHH to bear!!! I just can't think straight anymore... everything is so DAMN screwed up.. all my plans are practically messed up.. I know i have plans to get a new car. BUTTT... it's just not the f****** right time.

F***!!!! When will all this shit come to an end??? I guess this is nature's way of throwing a challenge at you. Prepared or not, you have to face it no matter what happens? Can you make it, it all comes down to you?? Can i do it?? That is not a question. I've to bear with whatever is thrown at me, overcome it and strive to survive no matter what!! Every second, i am constantly telling myself, comforting will be the precise word, " This will be over soon. You've been through the worst, you will survive. Be strong!! "

Life is full of challenges. At the age of 27, both my sanity and patience is being tested now. I was tested once previously and i managed to survive. All these while, i've been living in a very protective world. Until now, it all comes down to making it or breaking it. Can i make it??? I am very sure that i am most DEFINITELY not a loser and i will NEVER, EVER, give up no matter what happens. I WILL SURVIVE AND STRIVE THROUGH THESE BAD TIMES (*psyching myself to the max now*). I'm just lucky to be alive. That's all that matters. I just hope (*fingers crossed*) that all this will come to an end soon (*PLEASEEEE*)....

rainy day

Basically, the grey and cloudy skies reflects my mood today. Was in the midst of getting ready for work when it started pouring heavily outside. The skies seems to be crying on my behalf.
And, i started wishing:-

" Rain, rain, please go away. Come back another day!
Problems, problems, please go away. But, don't come back any other day!"

Will my prayers be answered???? ......

u

you no longer care for me like you did before..i thought time will heal everything..but...

When am i gonna get my car back??????

Just when i thought that everything is slowly reverting back to normal, shit hits the fan again (*excuse my language*). It's been over 3 weeks and I STILL HAVEN'T GOT MY CAR YET!!!!! GOD DAMN THOSE PPL!!! I'm so angry and frustrated. Hence, the intense heart palpitation. Think i'm going to get a stroke soon. Not heat stroke but HEART STROKE!!!!

WHY???? WHy??? Why can't things go back to normal?? After 2 whole weeks of sleepless nights, I've tried distracting myself with retail therapy, attending events, going out, work AND de-stressing with my 'happy' pill. But somehow or rather, i still don't feel the same anymore. Part of the reason, STILL HAVENT GOT MY CAR BACK YET!!!!!!! (*ARGGGGHHHHH*) and till i get my car back, i still can't live normally as before.

As much as i appreciate my friend and family for loaning me their car during this course of 'crippled-ness' to get around and most importantly, work, i just don't feel comfortable driving other people's car! It's just the same as borrowing stuff from others. I just don't like the feeling of owing people stuff or troubling others. (*ARGGGGHHHHH*)

And, worst thing is, i don't know when i can get it back. How can things be so messed up?? Why are the work shop people so damn irresponsible?? Shouldn't they be reporting any updates to me from time to time? Initially, they told me that my car would be ready within 2-3 weeks. HOWEVERRR... it's been over 3 weeks now, and still no news. They never call me back when they should and when i call up, they answer but they can never give me an answer as to when i can get my car back...F@@@!!! Have they even started the repair yet??? I HATE THEM to the core!!!!!!

Please god!!!! I beg you, please let this nightmare be over soon. pleaseeeeee!!! When can this stroke of bad luck come to an end?? I just want things to go back to normal...please??

secrets of louisiana

Another birthday dinner attended 2 weeks ago.

Venue - Secret of Louisiana @ Plaza Kelana Jaya.

(visit their website, http://www.secretoflouisiana.com for more details)

* Location Map (from the website)

My outfit for the night:-

* Black, newsboy hat (H & M)

Short-sleeved navy shirt jumpsuit (bought in Taiwan - less than rm30)

brown-rimmed specs (Esprit - had it since uni)

Here are some pics of the place:-

* Secret of Louisiana (Quoted from the website: We serve the best Cajun style seafood and steak in town)

* Lakeside dining

Since there were 8 of us, we decided to order an appetizer, some salads & a few main courses to share. This way, we can try out more foods. Basically, everyone was already starting to salivate as we flipped through the food menu. Here are our food choices for the night:-

Salads -

* Jazz Caesar Salad

*Firecracker Tataki Salmon Salad

* Cajun Chicken Salad

Appetiser -

* Mushroom thingy (one of the Specials for the day)

Main courses -

* Louisiana's Shrimps Scampi

* Rosemary Lamb Shoulder

* Salmon with Almonds

* Louisiana's Blackened Cajun Chicken

* Forgot the name of this dish (*oops*)

Sides -

* Mashed Potatoes

* French Fries

Louisiana's version of Tobasco sauce -

* Trappey's Hot Sauce (not as nice as tobasco though. plus, it's not even near to being hot)

Drinks -

* Hoegarden draft & Carlsberg

Once our tummy's are filled and while waiting for dessert time, cam-whoring session commenced (* hehe*): -

Then, it was time for everyone to bellow out the birthday song, more pics and indulging into the long awaited dessert, ice-cream cake (*yummy*).

* Birthday gal

* Group pic w the Birthday gal

* My piece of the birthday cake =)

Overall, i would give a 3.5 out of 5 for both the food and the ambience. Would definitely come back again to try out the rest of the menu. Price wise - fairly reasonable and affordable, especially since the portions served are huge, so remember not to over order and sharing is strongly recommended.

However, service wise might tend to be a bit slow though, particularly on weekends. A great, laid-back but comfy place to bring your families, friends or lovers etc..definitely a MUST VISIT!!! Oh, and it's 100% pork free (halal).

ANd.. do bear in mind, the place (Plaza Kelana Jaya) is still fairly new, opened just a few months back i think. There's only a few other restaurants available besides Secrets of Louisiana but i foresee more to come. Btw, parking is free on weekends.

Some of the must-try (from the menu) are:-

Du Monte Lamb Shank

Flame- Grilled Rack of Lamb

Garlic Fest Tenderloin

Crunchy Butter Fish

Creamy Herbs Baked Salmon

Seafood Gumbo

Jazz Green Mussel

Louisiana's Crab Cake

Gosh! My stomach is starting to growl now at the thought of all the mouth-watering dishes. So much that i haven't tried yet (*evil grin*), must go back! Oh, to those beer lovers, for happy hour, 2 jugs of Carlsberg only cost rm60 and Hoegarden draft is available as well as Budweiser etc. Wine, all kinds of liquor and cocktails are also available (*wink*). So, what are you waiting for???
