What a week

Abdul Nasi Briyani Batu Pahat Power
For reasons unknown last week was a tiring week for me. First my colleague brought us to Abdul Nasi Briyani Power. Its nasi beriani Batu Pahat. It is located here https://foursquare.com/v/abdul-briyani-power-batu-pahat/4cc7c3d1be874688138380af. Really good stuff. And that was on Tuesday. 

Low Sang
On Thursday my assistant and I hosted the ladies from our Shareholders to Gong Xi Fa Cai lunch at Unique Seafood in Citta Mall. Here https://foursquare.com/v/restoran-unique-seafood-subang/4f656b64e4b0e78c018a1422. Many many course meals, mainly seafood of course, unfortunately service was a little slow because there were too many people. The Low Sang (Mix Raw) or Yee Sang was done at the end instead of at the beginning since they have been misplaced..... This is the Yee Sang. The idea is to toss as high as possible while mixing for prosperity.

On Friday as a return gesture the ladies invited us for Low Sang at their office. There was also Lion Dance as well. Example of a lion dance. There was a pair. I did not bring my camera and my Blackberry takes lousy pics. Some lion dance includes various acrobatic moves this just involved eating oranges. The line for food was deemed too long so my old friend who worked there invited me to join them for nasi beriani at the Taman Tun Dr Ismail mosque. Nasi beriani again, his treat. So cannot really say no can I? Went there, did the damage, did the prayers, hang around his office for a short while bitching about stuff.

On Saturday my wife had to do some dessert table at Ikano Power Centre (IPC) in Mutiara Damansara. There were so much stuff and the cake was sooooo huge I had to help to send her. Parking there is atrocious. Once I dropped her off at the parking drop off I went for a 2 and a half hours of bliss i.e. reflexology in Damansara Utama then returned to pick her up.

Contemplating on buying a new television. Heart almost set on the Philips 3D TV. Good stuff. This one. My wife was very hungry. Picked up the children from in-laws place and went to Sakura Kristal in Taman Melawati for dinner. This is their blog. http://sakura-kristal.blogspot.com/. Never disappoints except for a little issue with lemonade that apparently was not sold in those giant mugs. But when told that I ordered exactly the same just a week before finally they relented. Was just about the call the cook, the sailor and the candle stick maker if I cannot get my gigantic mug of lemonade.

Sunday. My wife was all set to have our anniversary meal in Pangkor Village for the chilli crab and fried buns but it was closed on Sunday. Strange must be doing roaring business that it can afford to close for a whole day. So decided to go to Citta Mall instead again to Unique Seafood. Not as many people this time so we ordered chilli crab and the fried buns, which to my wife's delight they also have. My son had his homemade sizzling tofu and my daughter her lemon chicken without any lemon. It was yummeh! Delightful except for when they accosted us with the bill as they close at 3:00 p.m. With my fingers still sodden with the gravy I am a little annoyed that they can be so crass, what can we expect when you rely on foreign workers.

After that went to Time Square to get my son his school bag. He have gone through 4 bags in 9 months. Time Square have got good choice for bags but we are not fond of Time Square. Something about the aura there....Then we went to Festival City Mall to make my glasses. Not cheap at all. Settled for one at A Look. I love A Look the staff there is very polite and patient wherever we went. First went to A Look back when we were in Johor Bahru and have not stopped since. http://www.a-look.com.my/

Our new Epson Printer
Then we went to All IT to look at printers. The old staff there is no longer around. Wanted to get laser printer with wifi but it is quite dear. For wife's business finally settled on an EPSON Photo Printer. Seems complicated so will take my time to install it. Since it is wifi will no longer need cables, yeehaaa! At the same time as well, looking at improving the wifi signal strength by doing some workaround, installing repeaters, home plug etc. Will update more later. For now the repeater is not behaving itself. That ends my week. See you again next week.
