An Afternoon At Seoul Garden

Yesterday, Jo, Phang, Liang, Siang, Andy, Aaron, Tan and me went to The Seoul Garden in MP for lunch (well, for most of us it was breakfast/lunch/dinner. We went there at around 230 pm cos of the late nite we had at Jac's party (which was awesomely cool!).



At close to 20 bucks per person (student rate), i have to say, its pretty damn worth every ringgit! Especially if ur a big eater or in our case, haven't eaten for the whole day. The spread of food was vast, from beef to chicken to fish all marinated n seasoned with different flavours (there's even chicken that was marinated in coffee!!!). Then there is the usual fish ball n stuff that u use for steamboats. But i have to say, the beef was the BEST!!


the meat part of the food selection

It's like a normal korean BBQ style la, with a round hotplate and a soup bowl in the middle. Not to mention the free flow of drinks which included for once in a buffet, non carbonated ones. I think me n Phang ate at least 2 legs of a cow. Jo ate i think 2 by himself judging by the amount of beef that we took. Oh the chicken n fish was not spared as well. I still can remember the juicy, succulent n sweet taste of the bulgoni beef. Simply put it : SYOK SIAL!!!!



We were there from 245 till 530. Ate soo much tat we didn't have room for dessert which was make it urself ice kacang. Which was a bit of a waste cos the ingredients for it was so yummy. So for u meat eaters out there, i highly recommend this place! Don't know if there is one in KL. All in all, i think the 8 of us ate that much meat enough to feed n entire village in Africa for a day or 2 (no shit!!)


we had like 5-6 plates of this amount of beef alone!

Then after that, with our stomachs filled to the max, we went to Senyum to play pool. And right after that, we went to play futsal!! Haha.. siang ate too much that he had indigestion. Poor dude, at least he was still able to play on. And after futsal , we went out for a drink b4 going to phang's house to play mah jong!!


phang n me enjoyin our beef :)~~

This is certainly one of the if not THE best holidays i've had since i started college!! :D ... Sad thing is, after tomorrow, almost everyone will be going to KL to study except me. Oh well, at least i have enough anime n tv series to last me till college reopens (i hope). Oh jac, when u burn the dvd of ur party, i want 1 copy ok.. booking first!! :D

CNY so far..

Well, its the fourth day of CNY already. I guess a recap on em is due eh? Well, like i expected, this year's CNY celebrations are a lil' on the quiet side. I mean, less firecrackers for 1 and less lion dances for 2. But good also la, no 'tak tong chiang' early in the morning to wake me up :D. And oh, less houses/places playing those annoying CNY themed songs (esp those with those small kids singing) :D. All in all a peaceful CNY so far la.

Went to the usual places with my parents. Met the usual ppl there. Haven't counted this years ang pao booty yet though. Sum how like no mood. Usually in previous years, surely i will count each day's ang pao collection and then total up the grand sum at the end of CNY. But this year, my ang paos are still freshly sealed with all the new crisp notes inside. Oh well, i guess by the end of this week i won't be visiting any other places.

Oh, and another very good thing (i think la) this year is 1) i haven't gambled yet!! (although it might change depending on tomorrows visiting). and 2) No beer/liquor during cny visits!! :D . Become good boy man!! hahahah..

But this year was also slightly different in a way that, since my grandma past away, i spent less time with my relatives this year. Which means no gambling sessions that we usually have. Sorry la lynn and jinn, my dad as usual don't wanna go up kl :(. Therefore, i have plenty of free time at night. Imagine, CNY second nite, me, jo, siang n nara sempat go play pool!! Thn after that can go yum cha and play mah jong summore!!

Same goes for last nite la, with the exception of the missing Siang. This time get to watch UEFA Champions League!! Like jo said, "the theme song is like sweet music to my ears" . Haven't had european football since last december. MU won last nite thanks to a cleverly taken free kick IMHO. Some asses might think its controversial and should not have stood. But i say don't suck on it. Tonight leh, big match is Barcelona against Liverpool. I didn't realize i have so many liverpool supporting friends. But like i feel intimidated. Pity them actually. Barca all the way!! :D

What else.. oh, went to leo's house for cny visitng yesterday. That was my first lion dance on this year!! haha.. Went out today with her, jac and wei pinn to watch Ghost Rider. First thing i realize at MP was ... the queue to the box office. DAMN long sial!!! imagine from the box office queue right till the end near the railing where u can look down on the ground floor!! Fuh, didn't know MP so happening man! Oh as for the movie, its ok la.. not that good like say X-men n Spiderman.. but not as bad as lets say.. Daredevil . It is a rather cheesy show with alot of cheesy antics and one liners... Remember another Marvel adaptation Blade?? Cheesiness is around there. Right after that, came home n went out to play futsal !! *happy mode*

I should be sleepin now, cos later on will be a very hectic nite/day but i can't seem to. Gotta reserve n replenish some energy. K la.. go try n get sum shut eyes for bout n hour or so :)

CNY '07 prelude

Well, the Chinese year of the pig is about to be ushered in about half n hour or less. Personally, i don't care much about what this year would bring towards my chinese zodiac. Not much of the Feng Shui kinda guy. Whats more important to me is Ang paos, Food, Drinks and Gambling!!

See, this is the only time i can openly drink n gamble in front of my parents. Whats best, i get 'paid' in red packets for it!! Anyways, this cny seems to be a lil anti climax abit. why? Less ppl to visit = less ang paos. Equation proven! Yea well, for one, my grandma is no longer here, so there will be less visiting from that side of the family. Some of the gang in malacca also go overseas d, so less houses to visit as well. So.. lets see how this cny goes la. Oh yea, i'm kinda in a blur state now. So i need to know who's having open house when?? Steph, Leo, can tell me again ar?? :x.. I know as moment of typing, drew is plannin sum cny annual visit. Oh yea again, folks, if u wanna visit my place, no problem, but need to call me in advance yea, to check if i'm at home o not :D

Anyways, past few days have been pretty full and luckily not boring. Activities included futsal, pool, and mah jong.. Yes mah jong folks!! Remember sum where last year when my hostel room was like a mah jong gambling den? Well, now i've picked it up!! Not pro la.. play 3 ppl mah jong nia. The 4 ppl type i'm still not so sure. Just play for fun.

Hmmm.. also, had satay celup for the second time in 5 days last thursday!! Sempena prash's return to bali. Those who were there was me, may pin, jac, prash , joanne wee, don and ho chun. Sorry leo for not being able to wait for u yea! >.< .. Took a few pics la. May pin was obsessed over some chinese ah beng who dressed like a hip hop wannabe.. wats worse.. she n jac use MY cam to camwhore him sial!!

Great movie IMHO!! Oh btw, Erika Toda is sooo kawaii~~~. Dun care if some of u dont think likewise :P. After movie, had my 2nd prosperity burger in 2 weeks! And followed by a game of pool wit zhou comin later. After that leh.. go Yong's house and play mah jong. First time play in malacca weh... haha.. poor soon, play so many games, didn't manage to sek hu at all Oh well, we're all noobs anyway.

Got my CNY haircut on Saturday. Hmmm, went to Phang's house to watch MU beat charlton 2-0. GG UNITEd!! Later went Soon's house play blue server. Damn, my l33t skillz seriously weak d. I admit was not that good b4, but now, i'm even worse!! Can be classified as noob d. :(.

Sunday leh, didn't do anything much.. Just played futsal at nite. Damn happy get to play. Excercise summore.. need to keep my figure and keep in shape in order to compensate for all the CNY eatin i'm gonna go tru :D.

The only interesting thing i did on monday was playin pool with zhou and phang. But was damn funny la, so many 'trick' shots made, u'd think we were pros playing trick shot competition. lolz.. Yong left for Oz early in the mornin d to further his studies. Bon voyage dude.. send sum pix of hot aussies while ur 'down there' aite mate! Friends since standard 1, takkan tak boleh rite? lolz..



Tuesdays agenda was a lil more fun. Me, phang and soon went for a 1 day trip to... KL! hahaha. Supposedly to shop for CNY clothes so we went to Times Square lo. Look 1 whole mall, only bought a t-shirt from Tropicana Life that i didn't really need. But it had a 30% discount that i simply couldn't resist :P. Didn't see any nice shirts.. Think i still need to do sum shoppin back here leh. Anyways, what i DID bought though was a Nikon Coolpix s8 for 950 bucks!! 7.1 megapixel camera. Looks good, feels good, takes good pictures. So good enough for me la, esp since i'm not the pro or semi pro photographer. Just one who snaps if got anything interestin (like food!!) and if got occasions But good thing is.. can camwhore!! and add pics on my blog d!! yay!! *alrite i'll keep the camwhoring to a minimal*. Came back here at around 8 at nite. Had McD's again!! :D.. haha. tell u, eat how many times the Prosperity Beef Foldover also tak jelak jelak!! haha.. wanted to snap a pic but sadly, it wasn't as presentable as it was tasty :P.

Next few days i'm not so sure wat exactly is gonna go on. But i know will happen is this : Pool, yum cha, Prash's sending off party (i tot u all went 2.40 last week to do it O.o??), mah jong and Ghost Rider!!

Sadly, it'll be another lonely Valentine's again tomorrow.. Oh well, 21 yrs of it, should get used d eh. Hmmmm.. go find ppl play pool la. GG.. Oh, but to everyone else who is celebrating it.. Happy Valentine's Day 2 u all!! :D

46 hours to go...

The semester will be officially over for me come 7th Febuary at 12pm. But befor that comes. I think out of the next 40+ hours, i'll only get 8 hours of sleep if i'm lucky. My sleeping pattern has seriously gone awary. But its nothing new during this time of the semester for me. Can't sleep any earlier thn 6 am! And with the schedule of papers that i'm about to sit, wonder if i can get any. 1 afternoon paper followed by 1 morning paper. Hardly 24 hours to prepare. GG ...

But then, can't wait to get back.. got so many plans already even b4 i finish my exams! ^^v. Hmmmmm... valentine's day around d corner summore.. Guess this will be another lonely year :( (anyone wants me??). Btw, guys, penang trip this year.. got not?? kennysia.com got challenge all penang kia to come up with the best places for penang food. Reading tru the comments part, can find a lot of usefull tips in terms of where n wat to eat. Damn semangat rite now leh.. Hmmmm.. thinkin of getting a digital camera as my birtday gift from my parents... good idea?

On other news, Man Utd trashed Tottenham 4-0. Yet another 4-0 scoreline!!OLE!! Imagine... bottom club Watford kena 4-0, European Cup hopefuls also 4-0. Super.. wats best.. A defender played in goal for the last 5 min since the keeper got injured. Damn yeng.. can save ball summore! With this sort of form, for once in the past 3 years tat i actually think we can win the primiership title this year!

rite rite.. lunch time now.. thn its gonna be notes notes n more notes till i finish on wednesday! -.-''

p/s : if u think McD's Prosperity burger over the past seasons is delicious, then the new McD's Prosperity Beef Foldover is simply heaven!!
