My First Helicopter!

If you are aware (by reading my earlier post), you will probably notice that my childhood schedule was packed with events, shows...etc.

Where got time to play masak-masak, tamaguchi and barbie doll (had my first barbie at the age of 12...haha! Comes from poor family is like that-lah).

What more to say LEGO??!?!!?!

Hello.... it is LEGO we are talking about here.

Something that could easily cost you hundreds of dollars.

I'm lucky that I found these handsomes from Darren's hidden cupboard.

Wasn't too fond about it at first. Until I see the outcome. It was amazing!

Darren unwillingly pass the new "Helicopter + Trailer" box set to me.

And I started digging and digging.

Look at all the little parts and those cute little tyres!

Here's the base and some controllers.

Look how it evolves!

It is looking much more like a helicopter now. =D


Taa daa!

Isn't she a beauty?
I totally love it.

Took me 2 hours to finish this, no joke!

At first, I wanted to finish up the whole set.

But after the helicopter, I was totally exhausted.

My back and legs were hurting so badly cause I was sitting on the floor to fix this beauty.
The trailer can wait-lah hor............

Press release again... after a long 16 years!

Was in some newspaper and online article this week.

Found out that the journalist is fantastic!

Great write up.

Picture was great too.

Luckily I didn't have a breakout that day.

Hahaha!

Our dear Management Secretary, Melissa L. and my MD, Andreas V. managed to keep some of the articles for me.

It has been a long time since my last press release.

Still remember the last exposure I've had was at the age of 11.

Thanks for everything boss!

I Miss You, Steve.

This is gonna be a short entry.

It was great spending time with you.

Eventhough it is short, but it is all worth it!

Thanks for all the good food and the lovely watch.

Do try to come back next year during CNY ok?

Folks would love to spend more time with you.

Take good care of yourself.

Be good and be safe ok?

LOVE YOU, BRO!

Pirates of the Melawati

Darren couldn't resist the temptation.

He took out the box and clean it up.

He then slowly take out all the pieces at 11pm on a Sunday night.

I was enjoying my "Burning Flame 3" HK series, adoring Bosco Wong and couldn't be bothered about him.

Slowly, I fall asleep.

The next morning when I got up to get ready for work, the ship is there and ready to sail.

Honestly, it looks awesome and detailed.

It has a map, treasure box, gold coins, captain darren, monkey, parrot, sailor, cannon...etc.

Well done! Well done!

Told him, "I want to play next time. I want the space ship!".

He said, "Aiyah... you sure or not? Space ship very complicated lah. You start off with the mini boat first lah!".

My face turned black.

Darren & His Lego Set

Darren showed me all his toys when he was younger to found out that 90% of it was LEGO set.

It ranges from mini boat to space ships.

We were trying to find a place to keep them all - it is not the easiest thing to do, I assure you.

So we ended up keeping it in the wardrobe.

Take a look at the space taken!

He told me that he will keep this for his son.

Here's what I said, "Your son will say this is junk! He might be interested in flying a plane than these."

I guess he just wants to keep it for himself to play when he retire.

Giving it to his son is just an excuse. Hahaha!

I personally think putting it up on ebay will give me quite a good bargain.

Now I know where to go to when I am broke.

Hahahaha!

Superbly Nice Spider Crab

I used to hate eating crab cause it is so messy and difficult to eat.

I thought my front teeth was strong enough and fight with the dead crab.

Ended up, one of my front tooth was chipped.

I've lost the battle to a dead crab.

No manners!

Now I know I am not supposed to use my front teeth to bite off the shell.

I was silly back then. Hehe!

Ever since then, I will not have crab for any dinner session unless someone remove all the shell for me.

So I've chosen crabstick instead. Haha!

Few years later.

Actually approximately 8 years of being a crab-free person, my bro brought folks and I to this place called Unique Seafood located at Petaling Jaya, nearby Jaya One to have spider crab.
It was fantastic and superbly easy to eat!

My bro left the country after that meal and I've wanted to go back there ever since.

But it was too expensive. I cannot afford it myself. =(

Bro got back last Friday and he called on Saturday afternoon saying "Carrom (yeah... that's how he calls me... Carrom instead of Karen... no manners!) today we go out dinner with folks and have spider crab".
My reaction to that statement was "Shyiats... promised sis that I will go to her house for BBQ leh..."
I was thinking really hard to please both side and my appetite also-lah of course.
I wanna have spider crab and at the same time, I can't FFK my sis.
Came up with a superb idea - go to my sis house in the afternoon (just to show face... it's my bro-in-law's session with his colleagues anyway) and ran off to have the long awaited spider crab!

This is how those guys look like before the chef chop them off, cook them and serve them on a plate for us to enjoy.
They are not that good looking-lah... looks like got skin disease or something...

But they taste damn good weh!
And so freaking easy to eat.
They will provide you with a scissor and you can basically use that to cut off the shell.
Imagine that!

I was too busy digging in after the above was served.
So I did not take anymore picture. Haha!
Try it out yourself and you'll love it, I assure you.

The Chair

Can you believe that this chair is much older than me?

It has followed us since young and it is still in good shape.

Uh... actually the metal leg is kinda rusty but mom took the liberty to beautify it.

My sister and I sat on it when we were young.

And now my niece is enjoying her drink on it as well.

I'm sure my mom is proud of it.

Well done, mom! =)

Kampachi @ Equatorial Hotel

Shireen was craving for Sashimi and we have decided to go to Kampachi to try it out.

We went there for lunch before our shopping spree.

Only when we've reached only found out that it was a Wednesday and there's no buffet!

Silly me.

Shireen had a look at their Salmon Sashimi and found out that it is RM 10 per piece!

She almost fell off her chair.

Her face turned black immediately.

Mission failed.

*LOL*

Rating:

Food = Good

Service = Moderate

Parking = Poor (RM 9.50 for 1hr 30mins)

P/S: We ended up @ Shogun, Pyramid to satisfy Shireen's appetite that weekend.
