Food @ Semenyih

2 weeks back my parents came over to KL and together we went to have dinner at Semenyih. So here's just some foodporn from that day~

I forgot to bring my cam along and used my hp so the photos are crapped (>д<)

But I assure you they're awesome, affordable stuff I don't seem to find anywhere near my place... Some more it's going to be a while before I can eat proper home-cooked style food (;へ:) It's takeout most of the time cuz I'm sick of my own cooking *sigh*

Sliced pork with salted fish~

ヽ(*´∀`*)ノ✶゚ฺSo stuffed on that day LOL

And so after that, I was driving happily back home but almost ran over a dude (-___-;)

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't speeding! In fact, I was sorta driving at snail-phased (alright, walking-phaselah) because we were driving through really narrow lanes. And this dude was not paying attention because he was checking out his phone after getting off his car...(so-o NOT advisable to do that, peeps!)

So when he noticed us, got a shock, collected himself and made a i-got-hit-by-a-car pose_hands up with weird facial expression(think Miley Cyrus sticking her tongue out at the opening of her show at the recent VMA).

What's more, he did that TWICE before walking off laughing! By then we're laughing so hard in our seats already ROLF. Awesome dude.

So yeah, it was a good day (⌒▽⌒)~♪

Tourist in my own country: Kuala Lumpur

I think it's been
close toa month since I last blogged, apologize for the unannounced hiatus m(_ _)m

Past weeks has been crazy, to put it simply. So many things have been bogging my mind and occupying most of my time so much that I didn't have the mood to blog. JLPT's just 5-6 weeks to go and I'm trying to cram up as much lessons into my head.

However, while I was away, it seems my readers have not abandoned me and I am very grateful for the supportヽ(;▽;)ノArigatou~!!

The past 2 weeks, I had more time on my hand but I had been occupied with travelling. Mostly I was at the heart of Kuala Lumpur and the places around it for work-related purposes. I usually have some me-time after that and kinda took my time to explore the surroundings. Here's just a part of the places I've been. Photos nao~

Walah~ This is KL Tower ↓


Took a short walk from the spot I took this pic via the walkway heading to Bukit Bintang_one of the biggest shopping hub in KL.

You'll find lots of shopping centres(like 5?) within walking distance from one another and they're tones of amazing restaurants and kopitiams with great stall food around here! Totally a tourist attraction spot.

This photo is taken from in front of Pavillion Mall~


Parkamaya at Fahrenheit88 Mall_the Parkamaya signboards give the place a Tokyo-feely!

I've got to admit I've never really been here much despite having been to Bukit Bintang many times. Found a couple of nice boutiques here that I used to frequent back in Damansara~



The first H&M store in Malaysia which was launched a few months back↓ You can see the monorail at the background, that was where I was heading to.


On the way there's this super unique, oriental-like shop with loads of signboards. Love it~! (It's a restaurant,  btw)


I wanted to stay around and show you more amazing places like around this area but the crazy hot weather started to make me feel unwell I decided to head home and take a rest. I got very low tolerance to heat (@.@'')

Last photo neway. View from inside the monorail leaving the Bukit Bintang station~


Next up will be my long-delayed Hada Labo review post hahaha. Okei, me bad if I've made some of you wait (T__T )

Thank YOU again for reading my blog~!

See you in just a bit~!ヾ(Ov≤)ノ

2013 CNY Day 3: Penang Snake Temple

Last CNY post before I get to review. Took me a while to write this... And okie, you might have noticed I actually skipped CNY Day 2 lol. Not much photos from that day since all I do is visit relatives and collect ang pows a.k.a. red packets.

See all my red packets I collected this CNY~~ ٩(⌒∇⌒)۶

On day 3, my family and I went to the Snake Temple to pray. After all it's the year of the snake mah #chineselogic

Not sure they're real or fake. Didn't see them move an inch.

And there's a really huge python in the snake farm right beside the temple too. They said that if you stroke a yellow python from head to tail, you'll have good luck all year round...

...And I wanted good luck all year round HAHAHAHA

Me stroking it. It's feels weird and I was afraid it might just decided to strike at me. So scared I couldn't feel my hand (T___T)

Not sure if I ever want to do this again LOL

Some other snakes in the enclosures~ There were lots more but I'm too lazy to upload them (≥x≤)

2013 UNMC Bunkasai~

(,●⌒∇⌒●)/ Ohai~~ Today I'm blogging about my short trip to KL last week~ I took the train down specifically to attend my uni's Japanese Society's annual event_ BUNKASAI! This year marks the 3rd annual Bunkasai!

I'm one proud
obaba kaichouヽ(;▽;)ノ

Suria KLCC

↑ Scenery taken from Kinokuniya, Suria KLCC. Was there to kill some time the day before the event.

Some of the photos I took from the day of the event itself:



Banner and poster for the event~ I LOVE the 'fan' idea a lot!! Very creative!



Meet the 3 generations of kaichou here!



Oh, thiswasnotintheplan but I find myself wearing this badge that day(=v=)





The other dudes who's in charged with the booth that day. Candid photos of them haha









Merchandise booth next door~



Got mahself a meme badge (≥v≤)



There were stage performances too. The committees decorated the lecture hall with loads of teru teru bozu. So cute one!!

And thanks to them, it didn't rain that day but the weather turned out so hot (≥A≤)



The performance started off with some of the members performing the traditional Souran Bushi. That was the only show I got to watch that day...




Somehow, I got dragged into doing it too for demo. Not the most convenient moves to perform in a skirt... Now I know how to perform the chorus section *proud*

(//o//) "DOKKOISHO! DOKKOISHO!"

I found a photo of me performing the demo that day on the uni's Photograpy Society fb page. 95% of me is hidden behind_thank god. At least I won't be seen in an awkward position..

You can view more photos of cosplayers who took part in the cosplay competition and scenes around the festivals taken by members of the NPS fb page!

After the demo, I had to rush next door to help put on yukatas for the 'models' for the next stage show somemore. Busy, busy.




Also, a pic of my friend in a costume and I. Kakkoi!!



Nexto! Here's what they have at the food stalls~





And another year of Daten Cafe!

There was a obake uchi(haunted house) too. I missed it last year so decided to check it out. It was quite fun and I find me scaring the shit out of myself before the 'ghosts' do... (,TOT,) Can't help it since that was my first time going into a haunted house...

I heard rumor a guy actually passed out in the room. And then while I was in charged with the booth with friends, we heard a guy shriek from inside the haunted house. Was laughing LOL. Gotta laugh at other people 'misery'.

Overall, it was another amazing year of Bunkasai! Everyone worked hard nee~ For that,


hontou ni, ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!!~♡ Soshite, hontou ni otsukaresama deshita!!

2013 CNY Day 2: hanging out at Daorae~

During CNY my friends and I decided to have lunch at Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant in Bayan Lepas. Awesome place for BBQ though it can be quite pricey. There're BBQ choices of plain or marinated meat ranging from beef, chicken, pork and lamb.

We ordered all but the lamb. Kinda regret not to recommend it to my friends since I just got to know Daorae BBQ lamb's awesome. Still, we had the beef which was amazing.

Photos nao~




Lettuce for wrapping~



Korean tea, some dips and a side dish.



Oh, btw, we didn't have to do anything but eat. The waiters were in charged with setting the grill, cooking and later cutting the meat to bits when they're cooked. Nais~



These are the marinated chicken meat~ I don't remember what its called since we just ordered by looking at the photos. We only chose the meat we wanted LOL (≥v≤)

Check out the other side dishes they serve that day~





Love the side dishes but my favorite that day was ↑

I think its radish with chili gravy. Hmmm.... not so sure but I had it refilled.

All the side dishes and the tea is refillable but that day there were so many people that day we couldn't get a hold of the waiter to refill them. We wanted refills for other dishes too~! ٩(≥3≤)۶٩(≥ε≤)۶



Marinated pork's next~~(°@°)♥




Then finally, super juicy beef_our favorite♡



Cook faassstteerrr (*¬*)
