♥ Food, food and food
Today, me and my family had buffet lunch at Sarkies Corner, E&O hotel as my parents made the reservation yesterday. Luckily, we did that because the place was really crowded not only by locals but also many foreigners as well. Late comers had to sit outside the dining hall.
Will upload pics =)
There was a variety of food served and all of 'em were mouth-watering delicacies.
There's a variety of bread & buns, two choices of soup, lots of appetisers, green veggies, Char Koay Teow, Curry Fish Head, Lamb Lasagna, Beef Rendang , Roti Canai , a variety of Dim Sum , Sushi ,Grilled Seafood (Salmon, Prawns,Beef, Sotong, etc) Ais Kacang, Grilled Prawns,Chicken Rice, Glutinous Rice, Special Popiah, Laksa, Roast Duck, Barbecue Pork, Satay, Tau Foo Fa, Black Herbal Jelly (Kwai Lin Kou), a variety of cakes, kueh and My Favourite Bread Pudding and lots lots more. I'm sure you won't be able to try all the foods because there were too many choices there. I've just listed a few of my favourites among all the foods.
Lunch started about 10 mins before 12noon and there were still a lot of people after 2:00pm. We left the place around 2:45pm.The food was too tempting that i totally forgot about controlling my diet. Yeah. Me and my diet. Nowadays i'm growing fatter and fatter so have to control abit. Wish Me Luck =]
We took a walk surrounding the hotel before & after lunch. We could see a beautiful seafront and coast. There's a swimming pool in the hotel which I thought of jumping right into.......

♥ My garden
Last week, my parents decided to beautify the garden by replanting the grasses at our backyard with carpet grass. Believe it or not, they did it all by themselves, WITHOUT HIRING any helpers as our maid was away at my uncle's place with my grandma. So, they had a tough time clearing the wild wild grass that has been growing on our backyard for years. After the clearance, they replenished some soil and river sand before replanting pieces of carpet grass. It took my parents one whole week to complete the task. My mum also planted some flowers.. red, pink and white ones and a bamboo tree to enhance the landscaping. :) So our garden now looks much neater.. ta-daa....
On Friday, when school dismissed and as we were about to set home , Zhao Min's father could not start his car. Guess what ? The car's battery went flat !! So we waited opposite the school while Zhao Min's father called AAM. It took the AAM guy about 20mins to arrive =( me, ZM and Tammy fooled around, chatted leisurely and watched people dance in a nearby studio( as the windows were widely opened) It took quite a while for the AAM guy to discover that the battery problem. When it was all done, we got into the car and thought oh..finally it was all over~ but then the car had another problem! This time the power steering was not working. Oh No!!! The AAM guy had left the scene. So Zhao Min's father had to call AAM again and he was asked to drive to AAM's workshop. The car's air-cond wasn't functioning and it was stuffy. So we opened the windows to grasp for polluted air. After reaching the workshop, we had to wait for another 30 mins for the technician to fix the car. Then Tammy's father turned up to fetch me and Tammy home as we were supposed to attend BM tuition that night. It was about 9:05pm when we reached home so we did not make it to tuition that evening. Missed tution again ....3rd time this month as we did not have classes for the past two weeks. =( It could be a blessing in disguised as i managed to catch up the good old times with zhao min and tam. It's been ages since we last chatted.

Saturday
♥ iPod
Yesterday evening, we went to Queensbay to get an iPod nano for my sister. She has been longing for one since last year. She decided to reward herself after working for a couple of months.
We went to a shop called Switch . There are a few outlets in Penang but she preferred to get one from Queensbay as it is more convenient.
Initially she wanted a 4GB iPod nano. Unfortunately, the 4GB one only comes in one colour which is SILVER . Finally, after much thought, she went for the 8GB which has a bigger capacity and she chose a Greeeennn one !! Goiiingg grreeenn.It comes with a free adapter and silicon casing.
While the salesman was teaching my sister how to use the iPod nano , I walked around the shop and targeted something else..... iMac!!! My parents say i will be rewarded with the iMac if i can achieve good results for my Year-End Exam. Hopefully I can claim one from them.
After getting the iPod nano, we went to radioactive. Mum and sis bought a shirt each through Dad's recommendation. Then I saw a sling bag and convinced my dad to buy it for me. I took a white one while Dad thought it would be more trendy with the black. But then I still went for the white. :)
Before adjourning home, we went to Jusco to get a bulb to replace the one that has fused in my parents' room. From there we proceeded to the ground floor to get some groceries and ssuusshhii before heading home.
To keep you updated, my neighbour's doggy attracted a few stray dogs. Its not only noisy but also very dirty. Maybe it may sound ridiculous , but i really hope my neighbour will move out pretty soon. =/
