Recap of My 2011 History & My 2012 resolution

Happy new year to all my readers and here it is, my officially first post for the year 2012. Talking about the year 2011, I try to figure out what has it brought to my life. Change my life dramatically or just the same old simple life I had?

Beginning with the month of January, this month totally gave me a mixed feelings indeed. The month for the 1 year memorial of the lost of someone that is so important in my life but then it's also the month that my boyfie and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary we've been together. Somehow somewhere, I still miss you a lot, my dearest late grandfather.

January 2011

My career life started to change in February where I was being promoted as audit semi-senior along with my Boyfie. Yup, both of us were working together under the same field. Like they said, when salary increased, the responsibilities also getting heavier. Beside that, being part as one of the Company's sport committee, I was given a real opportunity to organise the Company's annual dinner - with lots of grand and exclusive prize sponsored by our boss including iPad, Canon compact camera, iPod and more. Too bad I didn't wIn any of those.

February 2011


Then the following month, March is where again another year for me to blow candle. No more blast and happening celebration like I had in previous year, but I grateful to celebrate this important day with my family, friends and not forgeting, with Boyfie too. A simple birthday celebration marked my life another meaningful and remarkable moment when got to celebrate with all the loved one.

March 2011
This year my birthday celebration filled with lots of foods.


Fast forward to the month of May is where I began my travel journey for the year 2011. First, went to Kuala Lumpur for less than 2 days just to attend my friend's wedding. Frankly speaking, friends are important to me and has become part of my life. If I really have the time, I will try my best to attend their wedding even it is so far away. Therefore for me, good friends are meant to be kept, but for a friend that doesn't meet the definition of a friend at all, sorry to tell you are not meant to be part of my life, dude! Next, travel oversea with my family which I will mention about it later.

My friend's wedding in Mines, Kuala Lumpur


Officially being a semi senior for less than 4 months, I finally decided to tender a resignation letter and terminate my services in the month of June to further my study - to continue my professional accounting papers which I had keep extending for so long.

June 2011
My farewell treat by my colleagues. Thanks and I really miss them a lot.


Say Hello Again to Kuala Lumpur in July. Thanks to my friend and his sister for giving me a great place to stay during my study there. I really owed them a lot for their hospitality and taking a very good care of me.

July 2011

Went Malacca with my friend's sister aka my housemate in August after my last trip to there was like almost 5 years ago. Deng!

August 2011


Among of all the month for the year, I love the most would definitely be September. The first reason was having TWO trips in a month and secondly, a visit to KL by boyfie.


My class ended in November and I went back KK immediately. Somehow, I think home is the most coolest place to be on earth. I used to like KL life once when I was a KL college student before, but after working in KK for almost 2 and half years, I think KK still the best. KL life is so complicated and such a hectic life, really doesn't suit me at all (my two cents opinion, no offence)

November 2011
Can't imagine how long I never fly with one of the world best airline after the existence of the world's lowest fare airline?


Having the worst nightmare where study non-stop for day and night for my exam which held in the month of December. Anyhow, my exam ended in the middle of month, and from there onwards, I started a new working life - working with my dad. Not my choice but what can I do. I still missing working with my previous employer somehow.

LinkDecember 2011
Gosh! Too many things to study.


So, that's summarised all my life for the year 2011. Wondering how about my globe trotting? One of my #2011 resolution has achieved and that was visited at least 4 different countries in a year:

1. Shenzen, China with family. The last trip we went together was back in year 2005 where we went Hong Kong together with my late grandfather. Although went Taiwan with family in 2010, but it is incomplete without the other family members.

2. Seoul & Jeju Island South Korea with my Europe trip gang. After travelled together around Europe in 20 days, four of us "back in action again" since we promised to meet and gather for another trip after our graduation.

3. Singapore with boyfie. Thanks a lot to boyfie to accompany me for this sweet trip and I guess he must be damn tiring and exhausted for walking a lot during the trip. Like I mentioned above, he came KL first before going to Singapore, and again he did a lot of walking too which he never did in KK. Walking from KLCC to Pavilion, Low Yat, Sungai Wang, Berjaya Times Square and almost walking everyday for almost half hour from the place I stayed to LRT :P

4. Jakarta & Bandung, Indonesia with mommy. At first, it supposed to be a trip of three but last minute, my friend can't managed to join us. However, proudly to say, my mommy and I managed to complete our journey to travel around this where most of them claimed to be so-called-not-safety place without the help of any travel agent. *Hebat right this anak-beranak!*

Although I am not an avid traveller which I really hope I could be someday, I guess this year is where I travel a lot and fly a lot too. Travel via airplane for 16 times, which I never travel so frequently in my entire life. Not forgetting, taking 6 different airlines during the whole trip for the year.

DT - 6 Different Airlines

Talking about #2012 resolution, never in my mind to think about it but since many of you did shared it, so I won't be hesitate to share about my #2012 resolution too.

  1. Earn and save lots lots lots of money to fulfill the 2nd.
  2. Travel at least once a month but it has to depend whether I manage to achive the 1st. Hopefully manage to visit at least few of the places I listed under "My Travel Bucket List" in DT Travel page.
  3. Losing some weight to reach my ideal weight. Looks like I to need take my ass up to go and do some exercise.
  4. Time for a new and better camera. Perhaps Canon DSLR or Panasonic latest camera, GX1.
  5. Complete my Europe trip saga and 2011 trips post
  6. Read more travel magazine to sharpen my writing skills and enhance my travel knowledge
  7. Start and set-up my own business in providing accounting services and tuition center.
  8. Browsing for a great location and stylish house (hopefully but seems impossible)
  9. Erm.. Guess that's all for this moment. Worry I might not able to achieve the above by the end of 2012.

Looks like 2011 had been a fruitful, awesome and eventful for me, at least. Now, it's time to brace myself for the brand new year. Hopefully it will be more happening and eventful throughout the year 2012. Most importantly, be healthy and happy always, right! Hope you guys a have a great one too!

DT's HTC & Asus
Last but not least, welcoming these two new gadgets into my life. Seriously, can't live without them. For your information, these two are the best ever birthday present I ever received.

Deng! So many things happened actually but I can't mentioned all here especially my life throughout the blogging world. Seems like I gonna continue blog about it in my next post.

Foodie Friday: T-Bowl & Sushi Zanmai

Maybe these two seems not a new and extraordinary dining place for you to satisfy your hunger, but for a East Malaysian like me who just came back to KL recently after left KL for almost 3 years, it is a new dining place for me to have a try and discover their foods. Everyone likes to try new things, right?


So, last week TTM aka my boyfie came to KL to pay me a visit. Happy to the MAX!!! Since at KK there we do not have any concept of this lifestyle cafe and I missed out when visited Taiwan last year, hence I suggest to have a dinner here.

T-Bowl Sungai Wang 01
T-Bowl, located on 3rd floor of Sungai Wang


T-Bowl Sungai Wang 02
The restaurant / cafe designed base on the bathroom concept - A toilet bowl as the seat whereas the basin as the dining table.


T-Bowl Sungai Wang 03
Their funky menu


T-Bowl Sungai Wang 04
His order: Chinese Mambo Rice


T-Bowl Sungai Wang 05
Hers order: Minced Pork Rice and came along


T-Bowl Sungai Wang 06
With a set menu: A drink, a soup and a dessert. Even the mini toilet bowls served as the food bowl.


T-Bowl Sungai Wang 07
A mean is incomplete without ordering their signature dessert. Mix flavour Ice-cream that similar to your s**t.


Overall, we were satisfied with the foods. Nothing much to shout about and nothing much to complaint about. However, they need to improve their staff services towards the customers because one of the lady who served us, seems like "masam muka".


Thanks to TTM for this treat. :) Hey, I'm not always asking for the treat, ok! We take turns to treat each other. In my opinion, I think the ladies should treat their boyfriend sometimes and not always asking for the guys to pay on your behalf unless you are gold digger. Guys, don;t you think so?


In exchange for the treat, I treat him for sushi. He's getting more and more addicted to sushi lately so I decided brought him to Sushi Zanmai. I heard lots of compliment relating to this sushi restaurant - great services, more variety and better than Sushi King.

Sushi Zanmai, The Gardens

Sushi Zanmai, The Gardens 02
We did ordered a lot but I only snap those unusual sushi which not seems in other Sushi restaurant.


I would definitely love to visit Sushi Zanmai again before going back to my beloved KK hometown.

Bid Goodbye To My KK Second Home

Take a break for a while from my travel blog and giving someway to my personal life blog. Well, here I would like to announce today is my LAST day of working! I am free from the hectic daily life, no more work overload, feeling of stress and tension. Not forgeting, no more of keep counting down the time to passby to lunch time and off working hours.

It took 3 months for me to waiting for this day. I had tender my resignation letter 3 months ago, as what stated in the letter of offer due to my position.

But, it kinda a mix feelings when I'm about to leave because this can be consider as my second home. Imagine in 24 hours, I had spend at least minimum of 8 hours in office. Not yet including the 1 hour for lunch time where sometimes I bring lunch box and having at office.

Starting as a freshie level to a semi-senior level, it is the most priceless moment that had completed part of my life. Not forgeting too, this is the place where I met my current bf by the way=P. Well, the reason behind I resigned is not because I get a better offer but it's too further my study. Kinda complicated to explain but what I know besides becoming a full-time or part-time student (myself also confuse on this part), now I can even chase my biggest dreams in my life. Yeap, travel again around the globe to satisfy my wanderlust.

My messy table.


IMG_3728
The laptop that I used. Nice leh the design? My boss replaced old laptop with this when I came back from Hong Kong trip. I was damn surprised that time.


IMG_3732


Besides my bf, only my 2 boss and HR department knew today was my last day. I lied to my other colleagues that tomorrow is my last day. Therefore, today no farewell celebration for me. Actually according to what I stated in my resignation letter, tomorrow is exactly my final day of working but I utilised my final day of paid leave to replace it. Sorry to all my colleagues for not telling you all the truth.

IMG_3730
I went office early today just to snap some photo. Therefore, some of the light not yet on.

IMG_3733


Exactly 2 years and 4 months, now it's time to bid goodbye to my first ever Company I'm working with. Not bad working with this Company that offer lots of activities such as company trip, company dinner and even some sports acitivities including badminton, futsal and bowling. Gonna miss there!

Feeling kinda sad too as I'm gonna leaving KK soon! Sob sob

Su Ra Sang, Korea Restaurant @ D Junction

Happy Holiday everyone! Never thought we are almost in the middle of the year. Can't imagine that time fly really so fast. Ok, right now I gonna bring you all for "Bits & Bites" time. By the way, I am not a good food reviewer but I love to share my food post with you all. Happy reading!

Su Ra Sang, located on the first floor of the D Junction, not only served Korean cuisine but they do served Japanese cuisine recently.

Initially, I thought they only served Korean dishes even thought my brother told me that he saw there is salmon and sashimi printed on their promotion banner but still hard for me to believe. Not until I read Shin Chan post, ok so I made up my mind and informed my family and TTM to go there to have a try. And now they are having buffet promotion. For just RM30++ for adult and RM15++ for childen, you can eat as much as you can until you full but remember, unfinished foods will be charged.

IMG_2968
Su Ra Sang means King's table in Korean language

Their menu for the buffet promotion


For your information, this is not a normal and typical buffet style. Instead of table placed in public area filled with various of foods and where you can pick and select foods you want (at first, this was what in my mind), but Su Ra Sang served in different way. You need to order the foods from the menu first and they will serve it to your table later. What I do for this? I request for a piece of paper and pen, then I wrote down all the list of foods I want. You can order as many times you want and there is no limitation. But I would like to stress here again, leftover foods will be charged as there were 2 ladies experienced this on the night we dined in there.

Korean dishes which recommend by the Captain. Taste nice

So next time if can't made up your mind whether to have Korean or Japanese dishes, now you can enjoy both at the same time. Good idea, right?cool
