Qaseh Restaurant & Big Bad Book Sale

Yesterday morning we wanted to tryout this place for breakfast. Its juz behind Tesco Extra, shahalam. We read about its review in some mag sumtime back. They have a buffet line of breakfast foodie, eg. nasi lemak, bubur nasi, mihun/mee/kuewteow goreng, cereals etc.

Nice ambiance but since we're in a rush to go back Seremban, i didn't had the chance to ask the waiter what they serve for lunch & dinner. There's plenty of space to sit, indoor or outdoor, its your choice.

I juz had a mixed of mihun/mee/kuewteow goreng with its sambal. Bee had lontong. Food boleh tahanlah. The place pun not a bad. Altho there's plenty of varieties in its menu but most of it has finished cos i think many customers came much earlier to have bfast.

After breafast, we all went to checkout the Big Bad Wolf book sale in Jalan 14/34 PJ. Tis is what i got.... They have tonnes of books for sale....i juz wished i have d time to go thru all...yeah, maybe next time.

Even bought a 'last-minute' recipe book for MIL as a Mother's day gift. Didn't get a chance to see her last week. Since she has a massive collection of recipe book, i'd thot i'd add in some 'collector's item' for her collection. Its the Anita Sarawak, Cooking with Love, i got it at a steal!! I'm glad that she loved it.

Here's some pic of my mom-inlaws collection are from her room....tis is juz d room, belum lagi masuk other places where she keeps her book. Maybe next time, i'll blog about her collection.

THE CLIMB

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down but
No I'm not breakingI may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm gonna to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah)

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb (yeah yeah ea ea)

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all aboutIt's all about
The climb

Keep the faith
Keep your faith
Whoa a oh oh

We bought her a necklace becos she loves accessories and appreciates em.


We managed to snaps some pics with her for keepsakes.


We wanted to give her a farewell lunch but she refused cos she's a small eater, she don't want us to waste money on her...that's why we decided to get her a gift instead.

Happy Mama's Day

Yesterday was Mother's day. My parents were at my place since last nite. They had to attend a wedding dinner at a Dewan Felda in KL and we sent them there. Bee and i didn't go to the reception cos only 2 person were invited. So, bee and i meet up my bro n sis-inlaw in Keramat and had dinner there. After dinner, we fetched my parents and head back to my place.

The next morning, my parents wanted to go to the Pasar Tani shahalam. We sent them there cos we pitied papa who had to find parking at d very packed place. Later we fetched them back.


My bro and sis-inlaw came to our house about 2 hours before lunch. Then all six of us head to Putrajaya for Mother's day luncheon at Palm Garden Hotel. Its a buffet lunch....cos mama loike going for buffet at hotels. The lunchon includes a door-gift bag but only for the ladies, a Female mag, 2 F&B vouchers frm d hotel and some samples.


After lunch, we head back cos the hot and humid weather has made us all felt restless n tired. Since everyone had good food in the afternoon, for diner, i juz cooked simple dishes eg. nasi goreng kampung and mee kuah udang.

Al -Ansar Steakhouse

Last saturday we went to Keramat, after dropping my parents off to d wedding place. Bro n SIL took us to tis place called Al-Ansar for dinner. Its a bungalow house which they turn into a restaurant. Of course tis is a malay area so u can expect a lot of malays eat here. The restaurant was named after its nearby mosque, Masjid Al-Ansar.

The environment is okeylah. There were plenty of people dat nite but my bro said tis place is always running on full. The place is clean and service was quite fast.

They served a lot of western and some basic dishes on locals. I had chicken-chop and bee ordered grilled-chicken. The chicken meat is very tender (which i loike it so much) but i don't fancy its gravy but the chilli sos saved me...hehehe. We also ordered mushroom soup (bee n i share a bowl) and garlic toasted bread. The bread is good tho. Soup is also ok. Bro n his wife ordered fish n chips....erm i don't tink i would like the fish n chips. Prices r reasoanable lar....we're suppose to go dutch but my bro treated us. Thanks guys!

Movie & Dinner

Its midweek but we surely don't wanna miss, Wolverine-X-Men Origin, the movie. We meet up at S.Pyramid. And its a lucky day for us cos there are tickets available. Padahal earlier, i tried 'on-line' to book movie tickets but it fully booked.

Before the movie, we all went for early dinner at S.Zanmai. Man, all of us were famished, this is wat we ordered!!.....oh no....i accidentaly deleted d photos of our food...damn!!

Anyway, movie was good. Lotsa of action sequences, the usual mix of chases, fights and bangs. The most remarkable thing for S and me is Wolverine's amount of muscle on display in the movie...hehehe...if u know what i mean...

And after movie, we all went back home cos tomoro is a working day...

Another Weekend Retreat

There is nothing like a "needed" weekend retreat wif good frens. A drove us all there, thanks a lot guys!!. Felt like doing nothing...but it was really something!!

Made our our way to their house at 9:10am. For the first time, the four of us r heading to Fraser's Hill. First stop, Rawang R&R for breakfast. The place was quite full cos we gotta wait for our seats. Juz had simple breakfast like nasi lemak and hot drinks.

While we were on the road, we stopped n saw this nice dam/lake and made a quick stop. The scenery here is serene and peaceful! Took d opportunity to take pics and lucky thing, A brot along his tripod so that the 4 of us can take pics together...wat a gud idea!! After taking pics, we're on our way to F.Hill. There's no rush, so we took a leisure drive.

Reached the GAP but had to wait for about an hour to go up... up the winding roads. I was sleepy, so i slept on the way up and down...hehehe... It was sunny on the way up, but thankfully, the weather in Fraser’s didn't disappoint us - gorgeous overcast skies welcomed us. After stretching our legs and just taking in the pure air, we hopped into the car again for a drive n made a few stops to take pics.

It was fun cos we gotta take turns taking each other's pics n then pose. The buildings are mostly colonial architecture bungalows. And the revelling beauty of its fresh flowers blooming....flowers here r healthy n abundance.





The famous clock tower






Tis is just in front of the Post office



We stopped by at Ye Old Smoke House to take pics. As we're about to go back to the car, A saved two small kittens from falling and tumbling down from its mommy, look at the cute cat-mommy.... S & A loves cat...n so does bee....so all of us were admiring those cute cats.


Golf Course
We made a stop at their souvenir shop and bought some fridge magnets. Had simple lunch and then took the 4pm gap to go back down....all d way to d winding down road.


A memorable experience. We reached KL at 5pm plus. And meet up again for dinner at Uptown.

Yes, true, Esther is good but if you watch the transformation of Tomok since he first joined, u'll be impressed with his improvement. I don't care what people said, i voted him and i'm glad that he won cos he deserved it!!

Check out the cake. Not bad huh....i'm kinda of impressed too.

I juz liked to do things diffrently, i don't like mediocre stuff....sometimes must do sumtin different to get of out of the norm things. I make effort for the rest of the members in my team too...i juz don't do it for my boss but for the rest of them too. I ain't bias!!



We had these for lunch. Ordered simple dishes, as per each of our own fave.



Happy gettin ol' ahboss.
