It's Christmas Eve, and I'm doing nothing at home. I don't have parties to attend, no celebrations, and of course, too bad to say, no presents too! So, it will be 'silent night' for me, though not so sure whether is it 'holy night' for me.
I never have a Christmas dinner for few years. I don't like crowded place, plus the food is not so nice on such festival seasons, and yet the price is peak season's price. But, this year, it's going to be a different Christmas night for me. We'll have a dinner tomorrow night with my brother. What make me excited is not the food, or the restaurant; is this round, my brother will treat me!
"You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town!"
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Holiday Mood
It's year end again! Ever since I started working, this is the moment I have no mood to work, awaiting for the holidays, though I'm not celebrating Christmas nor go for countdown party. The 'no-mood-to-work' symptom get worse after I joined this company. First reason, it is semester break; secondly, most of the staffs are busy clearing their annual leaves, we can hardly find some of them for the whole month. (shh... don't say that I say it...)
But, today, I'm in the office! Came in the office at noon, had my take-away lunch in office, read for a few pages, and then, my antibody start fighting with the 'sleeping virus'. In order to make me awake, I must do something 'interesting'. Here I am, writing this post... hehe...
Emmm... what should I do after finish this post? Let me think... Ah-ha, I got it! It's almost 5pm, time to go! Bye!

D' Italiane Kitchen
You all must be very curious, how come I write in English for this post? Well, the reason is very simple. It's simply because the Chinese input for Windows 7 is 'unfriendly' to me. I had spent longer time in writing the previous posts using the Chinese input for Windows 7; as compared to Windows Vista, which I preferred. And I had hold on my decision to change to Windows 7 for my own laptop, of this reason.
Okay okay, I know you all spend your precious time reading my blog is not to listen to my complaints about how unfriendly is the Chinese input. Let's move on to the interesting topic. Last weekend, we went to D'Italiane Kitchen at Jaya 33 to celebrate my brother and in-law finally will work in Cambodia next week. I used the word finally is because their plan being postponed for n times, ever since they got the notice from the top management. First time for me to visit this restaurant, but both my brothers had been there before.
The restaurant is quite small, but quite good business. Maybe it is Friday night. Luckily, we had made reservation. While waiting for my brothers, I took a few snaps on the decorations.
We had Mixed Bruschetta Platter served with foccacia bread slices as our starter. There are four choices of toppings: tomato & basil; creamed mushroom; salmon & dill; chicken & avocado. We also ordered seafood soup named Di Mare.
As for the main course, we had Risotto Alla Pescatore; Open Pasta; Smoked Duck Pizza and Grain Fed Chilled Ribeye. The pizza is quite special, this is the first time I had duck pizza. Actually I don't like duck, due to the smell. But for this pizza, the smoked duck slices looks like beef pepporoni, and the best thing is without those duck smell that make me sick. The risotto quite juicy, very nice!
That night, we had a bottle of Champagne (the very first time for our dine-out experience). Plus 1 pint of Weihenstephan Hefe and 1 pint of Weihenstephan Dunkel. Lastly, a delicious dessert is an excellent ending of the dinner. The waitress recommend us their specialty (sort of), Mascarpone Raspberry Crepes.

难得的假日
上个月,原本属于普通的公共假日,却因为老爸难得的两天一夜逍遥游,变成了实属难得的假日。老爸乘搭早上的飞机抵达,接了他,就去弟弟的家。然后,就开始了我们的美食约会。
第一站: Little Korea 韩式料理
由于不是我点菜,所以,不知道都点了些什么,唯一可以确定的是,这里的食物味道很不错,比我们上次去的另一间韩式料理,更能满足嘴刁的我们。
第二站: The Apartment 西式料理
晚餐呢,我们则把口味调换至西餐,到这间内里装潢得给人一种像在自家里的舒服感觉的西餐厅。只可惜,我们并不是很喜欢那里的食物,可以算是属于比较普通的西餐料理。
第三站:Vietnam Kitchen 越式料理
第二天,我们陪老爸到商场逛逛,还要想想午餐吃些什么特别的。结果咧,就到这间越式料理馆点越式家常小菜。味道还蛮不错的,尤其是那道黄金生蚝,生蚝稍微煎过,再撒上炒得香辣的佐料,连怕腥的爸爸都觉得好吃。

无所事事
又是无所事事的一天!整整一个月,难得的一个月,我可以窝在家里,不必去上班,也不必刻意地做些什么事情。每天早上一睁开眼睛,打开电脑,边享用早餐,一边或是上网,或是看戏。坐得累了,就躺在床上;随手拿起小说,想像自己化身为主角,体验着书中的情景。再不然,为了让自己得以自欺欺人,特地读读闷人的学术性文章。(通常是,五分钟后,抱着它追随周公去也!)
本性已是大懒虫,加之放纵了一个月,越发不想回去上班了!我需要推动力!有什么可以再次点燃心中的那团火吗?

新发型
自从五月尾开学至今,都是过着超级忙碌的日子,就连周末都要在家准备教材、批改考卷或学生作业。每天的生活都是忙得喘不过气来,难得有一日空闲,都懒得出去逛街什么的,只想赖在家里休息。所以,就任由三千烦恼丝肆意的在我头上胡作非为。
终于,忙碌的日子总会过去的,乘着这两个星期稍微可以放松自己,赶快解决了有点乱的长发,顺便换了个较清爽的短发,让自己看起来有点神采飞扬的感觉。近期在工作上遇到很多不顺心的事情,迫切需要焕然一新的感觉,结果,心情好起来了,却换来荷包大出血,出血的症状似乎还会持续一阵子,因为购物嘉年华开始了几个星期,我都还没有时间去逛街呢!看来,下个星期的公假,又是荷包病重的时候了!
工作那么辛苦,当然得慰劳犒赏自己一下嘛!

Dubrovnik -- 克罗地亚餐馆
昨晚,又和弟弟们去了一家特色餐馆享用晚餐,位于Mont Kiara Solaris 的克罗地亚餐馆-- Dubrovnik。餐馆的名字其实是克罗地亚的一个地方。餐厅的设计很特别,楼下有几张沙发座,还有门外的抽烟区。由下向上望,悬挂着有一面克罗地亚国旗。楼上则摆着两人、四人、六人到八人不等的座位,墙壁上还有应该是Dubrovnik的照片。
上排:
1. 餐前面包
2. Pumpkin Soup
3. Kozice in Tomato Sauce
下排:
1. Lamb Peka
2. Arrabiata Pizza
3. Chicken Kobase
酒量最浅的人,竟然点了一瓶啤酒!至于我们三姐弟,既是嗜咖啡者,又是“酒鬼”,结果,一个点了杯克罗地亚咖啡,一个点杯加了少许酒精的特色咖啡,我呢,则点了咖啡鸡尾酒,上面还有用巧克力浆随意弄的图案。
还好这顿晚餐,价钱不会太贵,还不至于喂饱肚皮,饿扁钱包。

上个月尾,享受了一个悠闲假期,去了YTL Cameron Highland Resort。虽然价钱比一般的酒店来得贵,不过,舒适的环境及贴心的服务,还是让我们觉得物有所值。酒店的房间应该不会太多间,再加上价钱稍微贵了,因此,制造出宁静的空间。

生日礼物
这两个周末,又吃了不少好料,因为。。。不可推却了人家帮我庆祝生日的好意嘛!哈哈!
首先呢,我们终于去了督亚冷(Tualang)吃虾。为什么说终于呢?一、我是在金宝工作,距离督亚冷不到一个小时的车程。二、我们每个月都会回去务边一趟,通常都是无所事事的呆在家里看电视,懒得出门。这一次,就打着生日吃大餐的名号,去了阿贤人情味介绍的新美芳吃虾。
清蒸虾,真的很赞!那个汤汁,清甜得来又带点香香的酒味,虾肉新鲜弹牙。不过,另一道薣汁炒虾,就没怎样了。我们还叫了清蒸白须公,不错!峇拉煎炒巴菇菜,也不错!总的来说,吃得还满意。
至于昨天呢,难得弟弟说请我吃当作是礼物,当然是恭敬不如从命啦!嘻嘻!我们去了位于1 Utama 购物商场内的一家装潢满树时,名为Delicious 的餐厅吃。我点了杯Macchiato 咖啡,特别之处是,超小杯的,不信你看,有图为证!随着咖啡附上的饼干,薄薄的两片,看似没什么特别,不过点一点咖啡,咬小去,饼干的香加上咖啡的苦,竟然别有一番滋味!
我们共点了以下几道佳肴:
1. Grilled Chicken Salad Cos Lettuce with cranberries 2. Wild Mushroom Soup with garlic bread 3. Seafood Linguine 4. Duck Confit 5. Braised Wagyu Pie
那儿的食物,就好像它的招牌一样:Delicious!
哦,对了,我还是一样用了软件,把照片组成一系列,如果你们觉得太小了看不清楚,请在照片上click一下,就可以把照片放大,看得更清楚了!

阿贤点心
今早终于慕名去了杨佳贤所开的点心店“叹”早茶!其实,早些时候就已经在网络上得知这家营业不久的点心店,只是,我们对于蒲种这个地区不是很熟悉,所以,一直都没展开寻觅美食的行动。那,今天为何终于行动了呢?因为。。。我们有了新玩意 -- 卫星导航器!有了它,不怕迷路了!
另外,有没有发现这篇文章的照片跟之前的有什么不同吗?这是刚刚发现的新软件,于是,就以这次的照片做实验,摸索如何使用这个新软件。 如果各位觉得照片太小,看得不过瘾,下次就不用啦!这次嘛,就让我先玩一下啦!谢谢包涵!
我们点了招牌流沙包,一拨开,包里面的馅料,真的是流了出来!馅料很香浓,不错!另外,我们还点了上海小笼包, 好吃!还有烧卖、煎萝卜糕、沙拉虾、还有忘了什么名称的,类似虾饺的,每样的味道都不错,值得一试!
这一次的寻觅美食行动,没让我们失望,叮咚叮咚,成功!

元宵节
一眨眼,农历新年的庆祝仪式来到了尾声,今天是元宵,所谓的“东方情人节”。近年来的农历新年,似乎不再是热闹喧嚣,普天同庆的。不知是因为经济衰退,人们抱着能省则省的心态;抑或是新世纪年轻一代不再也不明白新年的意义,新年前,购物市场汹涌的采购人潮不复见。而新年间,以天气炎热为籍口躲在家中避免出门拜年的大有人在,包括我,嘻嘻!
难得放长假回家乡,我宁可窝在家里,和家人把酒闲话家常,好好利用和享受跟家人相处的时间。也不知是看戏看书看得太多,还是随着年龄的增长,很怕忽然失去,所以更在乎了!
只要能健康平安在一起,哪怕是平淡如白开水无色无味的日子,也是幸福美满,令人快乐的!
祝大家新年快乐、元宵节快乐、情人节快乐、最重要的是,天天健康快乐!
