Late brunch @ Cheechah Kota Damansara

the next day after Bown's wedding, on Sunday, me & my wife went to Kota Damansara to have our late brunch...we went to a restaurant called Cheechah...my wife bought a voucher thru milkadeal, http://www.milkadeal.com/ (the nuffnang advertisement on the left pane of my blog, plz click :P ) entitled for TWO Tapas + TWO Beverages + TWO Side Dishes at Cheechah Cafe at the price of RM19.90 instead of RM46.60 (dun really know what Tapas is)...on top of that, the both of us also ordered a main dish each as we were starved at that time...the dishes were really delecious and the place was quite nice...

can't really remembered the name of each of the dishes...i'll let the pictures do the talking...but for the 2 main dishes, we paid them for RM25 including tax...the portions were big, so we were really full that we did not even had diner that day...for those who would like to try them, Cheechah is located at Kota Damansara, 11 PJU 5/4...u can just google it...

the recent saturday, me & my wife went for a wedding reception at Bagan Serai, Perak...it was the wedding reception of my ex-coursemate & ex-housemate, Hazrin a.k.a Bown...pushed off from home at about 8.15 am, went to fill up the petrol & car tyre at the Caltex and proceed to pick up a friend of mine, also my ex-housemate, Jaar at Puchong...hit the road at about 8.45 am to meet up with the rest of the gang at the Rawang R&R...had breakfast there and after about half an hour, it's time to head straight to Bagan Serai...however, we did stopped at a couple more of R&Rs...reached Bown's wedding reception venue at about 2 pm...when we arrived, it looks like the reception was almost over...probably the big crowd came earlier...

as we arrived, we went to meet Bown first and then only proceed to have our makan...the dishes were okay, not bad...as long as it can make me full :P ....after our meal, we chilled and had some chat among ourselves, took a few pics for about an hour...after that, we head to the Taiping Lake to have a photograph session which was the outdoor session with the newly weds...the lake was quite beautiful and nice...really nice to walk around in the evening...was quite fun having the photograph session with our friends...was really a good oppurtunity to spend the weekend outside of KL...after almost 2 hours of photograph session, we then headed to the Taiping town to have something to eat before heading back to KL...

Cenkoi who was one of friend was a local at Taiping and he brought us around Taiping...he was also my ex-coursemate & ex-housemate...Bown took him as his wedding photographer...we then went to a restaurant called Doli...if you're somewhere at Taiping, dun miss to have Doli's fried kuey teow...out of 5, i would give it 4...so, something worth to be tried...the place was packed & full...we had to wait for half an hour before our order arrives...i had fried kuey teow special while my wife had the normal fried kuey teow...the evening meal was on Bown as an appreciation token for attending his wedding and joining their outdoor photography session :P....after almost an hour and a half there, it's time to hit the road heading back to KL...

congrats Bown on your wedding!...

till next time...stay tune....

PC Fair April 2011

hola...i'm back...went to the PC Fair April 2011 last weekend to grab some gadgets...pushed off from home at about 8.30 am and went to have breakfast first together with my parents as they were around...we pushed out early coz expecting it will be a massive crowd there at the PC Fair based on previous track records...even though we arrived there before 11 am, the crowd was already quite packed...our objective there was to get a NAS (Network Attached Storage), RAM for my laptop, an SDC and a micro SDC card and a wireless optical mouse...can't remember how many halls were taken up by the PC Fair...i think there was about 5 or 6 halls...all major brand products and big names in the industry were there...from HP, Dell, HTC, Western Digital, Seagate, Buffalo, Kingston, to name a few and many, many other brands...

we first went to the Western Digital & Seagate booth as were looking for a NAS...the one that we targetted was Buffalo as Buffalo has much more features compared to Western Digital & Seagate for the same capacity size and for the price...for 2TB, u can get a Buffalo NAS at RM499 and the same as well as Seagate at the same price...however, for Western Digital, for 2TB, it was a little bit higher...around RM500 plus...we then proceeded to the 2nd hall as the brand Buffalo was not exhibited there....the next hall was for audio & speaker gadgets...not interested, so skipped that...then went to the hall where smart phones & laptops were exhibited....not in the target list, skipped as well...then we headed down to the lower floor and came to the hall where things there are much more interesting...we then found the Buffalo booth...after doing some thinking whether to pick up the 1TB or 2TB, we decided to straight away get the 2TB as we do not have to worry much about storage as 2TB of size was more than enough for the both of us...the price of the 2TB Buffalo NAS was RM499...quite a good bargain given the capacity and the features that it has....

for those who do not know what a NAS (Network Attached Storage) is, it's a hard drive that u plug to your home router instead of your PC...the advantage of having a NAS instead of having a normal portable hard drive that plugs to your PC, u do not have to plug it to your PC each time u want to transfer or access files from your hard drive...then u have the privillege to share to anyone who was access to your network...for example me & my wife can access files in the NAS at the same time without us needing to individually plug the hard drive to our PC...what's more, if u know how to tweak the NAS, u can even access your files even though u are not at home via internet connection...even though u are thousand miles away from home, u can access your files at home given that your home has internet connection (and u don't it off ofcourse :P)...some of the other features that the Buffalo NAS has are, built in torrent client, DLNA support, Web Access (which i've explained about accessing files when u are not at home) to name a few...for more info, u can go to their website at http://www.buffalotech.com/products/network-storage/home-and-small-office/linkstation-live-ls-chl/ ....

after purchasing the NAS, me & my wife then went to get our other targetted items, a 2GB RAM for my laptop, an SD and a micro SD card and a wireless optical mouse which we got it for only RM30...the name of the brand was A4 tech...a brand starting to establish itself to be at par with the likes of Logitech & Microsoft...although cheap, the mouse was not bad...SD card was RM25 for 4GB and micro SD card was RM88 for 16GB...after we got we wanted, we then made a move to the klcc food court to have some dessert and get some food to bring back...after that, it was time to hit back home to explore the gadgets that we bought...hehehe~...

stay tuned guys for my next post~...cheers~....

Weekend Chill @ Pee Dee (Port Dickson)

hola2...been a bit bz lately and nothing much of activities recently...only the recent saturday me & my wife joined my wife's family to spend the weekend at Port Dickson...we stayed at the Ancasa All Suites Resorts & Spa...since my father in law is a staff at UDA and the fact that Ancasa All Suites Resorts & Spa belongs to UDA, so the rate was super low but there are already specific rooms allocated to the staffs of UDA....so the room that we see in the website or at tripadvisor are the rooms meant for outsider guests (unless we are willing to pay the same amount that the outsider pays :P )....the set up & landscape of the resort was quite nice as they made it looked like the resort is in Bali...the resort was set up in a Balinese concept & style....

pushed off from our home at around 8.30~8.45...my father in law came to fetch us...stopped by at the R&R Seremban to have breakfast and continued the journey...the journey was short as Port Dickson was not far from our place...in less than 1 and a half hours, we were already at the Ancasa All Suites Resorts & Spa...my father in law checked in and then we went to our units...we took 2 units of apartment...my father in law took the 1 room apartment while me & my wife shared with my mother & sister in law together with our little nephew...after about 30 minutes, my mother & sister in law and nephew arrived at the resort...

after we have setled down and put all our luggages, we then went down to the swimming pool to watch our little nephew take a dip into the water...this short weekend trip was more of a relax trip mainly to bring our nephew to take a dip into the swimming pool...after almost 1 hour, we then went out for lunch and went around and walk around at the Teluk Kemang beach...our nephew benefited the most out of this trip...he even rode on a horse and on a kids mobile vehicle, u know the ones that u see children riding in a shopping complex...after that, went back to the resort to have some rest....later in the afternoon, my father in law took our nephew to have a dip again in the water....

then at around 8 pm, we went for diner at the Ekspress Steamboat at the resort's restaurant...we had steamboat as my father in law has already booked...it costs RM20 per head...the steamboat dishes were only average...i think steamboat at Johnny's was much more better...my wife, mother & sister in law did not enjoyed the meal as to them it was quite tasteless...but for me, anything that is edible would be sufficient and as long i'm full, i'm happy & satisfied, hehehe....after diner, we went for a walk at the beach and later then went up back to our rooms to call off for the day...

the next day morning, we had breakfast at the beach near the hotel...after breakfast, my father in law took our nephew to the swimming pool for a last dip before making a move back to KL...then at almost noon time, we headed back home to KL....

till next time...stay tuned...
