KL Trip (19-21 Sept)

It was Jason's wedding. Shian and I decided to go over to KL for the weekend since its the Hari Raya long weekend. Few of my other colleagues, Linda, Stella, Melvin were going over to Jason's wedding as well. We decided to take the Aeroline Coach bus since it stops very near the wedding venue.

Shian with his breakfast on Aeroline:

Us feeling satisfied after our first meal at Chillis, Mid Valley in KL..thereafter off to shopping!:

We went back to the hotel to rest and get ready for the wedding dinner.

Group picture at Jason & Angie's Wedding:

The wedding banquet was held at Maya Hotel, and we had a good view of the Petronas Twin Tower as we were leaving the hotel:

Early next morning, we had breakfast at KLCC, followed by taking the KL monorail just to experience it:

Here we are at Pavillion - the new and classy shopping centre at Bukit Bintang area. It was shopping followed by lunch at Old Town - nice coffee and local food there :)

Thereafter, we watched the movie - The Ugly Truth there. It was quite funny and well, watching movies in MY is always very worth it for us due to the cheap rates we get there. It was more shopping thereafter.

Finally, we went back to the hotel to get ready for the night out! The groom came to pick us up and off we went to Lunar Bar!

Great view of the city and even the Petronas Twin Tower there. We got a seat at the non-smoking area but we went over to the open roof area for some picture taking.

We had breakfast at KLCC again the next morning since we stay just opposite. Thereafter, it was more more shopping followed by lunch at Mdm Kwans's! Awsome local food at affordable prices.

With that, it marks the end of our short KL Trip. We went back to the hotel to do some last min packing and Dear wanted to take this picture to remind ourselves of the pathetic ironing board we had in the hotel..haha...

And then off we went to board our Aeroline Coach back to SG.

Gavin's birthday celebration (12 Sept 09)

It's Gavin's 8th Birthday. We all got sick of take-aways and deliveries, so we decided to have a pot-luck party and wanted to exempt Mum from cooking, so she can rest. Shian and I did the Honey Roasted wings. Haha...we are not seasoned cooks yet, only done some simple cooking at home for the both of us. First time we are cooking such a big portion. We decided to go to the wet market for the first time since we are buying so many chicken wings. We went to Tiong Bahru Market, and scouted around as to which stall we should go to. Finally, the store that we wanted to buy from - i repeated my order twice, and the Uncle said he didn't understand me! Finally he got his daughter to take my order. Gosh....am I that bad?

Anyway, i think we are not quite used to seasoning such a big portion of Chicken Wings, turned out it was not as nice as when we cooked just enough for the both of us at home. Nonetheless, our family supported us by finishing everything :) Our chicken wings looking good in the oven :

I bought the cake for Gavin this time, also from Swensens. Since it didn't cost much difference to request for one of those kiddy decos, i decided to get it for him:

Haha...another family photo taken at my parents' place:

Presenting the birthday present to Gavin:

The boy is happy, the gift was what he requested for - remote control speed boat!

Gathering at Tabi's Hse (22 Aug 09)
