[[ Support Terry Fox Run ]]

- Wednesday, September 19, 2007 -
Terry Fox is a Canadian who right leg was amputated due to bone cancer when he was 18. He was then so moved by the suffering of cancer patients, particularly children, that he decided to start his "Marathon of Hope" three years later to run from coast to coast in order to raise money for cancer research.

Unfortunately, Terry was not able to finish his run, and he died at 23 years old because of cancer. Despite the lost of Terry, his spirit is still remain until today. The Terry Fox Run is still running around the world every year to raise fund for cancer research and for all the unfortunate people outside.

The Terry Fox Run this year in KL will be held at 4th November. Venue and time yet to be announced.

Watch this sensational commemorating videos on Terry's Canada run, prepare a tissue !

PS: "My friends, we are very lucky to live healthily and comfortably but we don't realise.
We have the time and money to go for a movies and take sushi at lunch, but some don't.
For many unfortunate people in the world, the things we are having which seems ordinary may be a luxury for them, and we still complain and ask for more....
For many unfortunate people in the world, they are struggling and they really need our help even though its just a little.


Who wanna join me for the run ?" - VC

[[ Pumpkin Porridge Steamboat ]]

- Friday, August 17, 2007 -
Porridge steamboat may not be a new thing already nowadays, as most of us have already tasted the well-known porridge steamboat from Tian Yuan (田园) for more than once. Frankly to say, I'm kinda sien already eating their porridge steamboat....

So, how about Pumpkin Porridge Steamboat ?

We first heard of it from Kin Loong's mouth when the last time we had our porridge steamboat dinner at Tian Yuan. It sounds interesting and I could imagine that it should taste like the pumpkin soup I had before, sweet and tasty.

Thanks to Chunny's strong desire on nice food, he invited us to try out the Pumpkin Steamboat together on Monday's night. So Chunny, Kongny, Karen, Loongny including myself headed to the restaurant named Lin Yuan Steamboat Kitchen (淋园火锅小馆) located in Cheras Queen's Park.

Lin Yuan Steamboat Kitchen (淋园火锅小馆)
At first, we ordered three person sets, an additional plate of beef slices and 'sauce burst‘ meat ball (酱爆肉丸).

The raw food looks fresh and clean ~

What's the steamboat soup ? Of course Pumpkin Porridge lor !!
We also ordered a side dish - Nam Yue Spare Ribs 南乳排骨. Taste good, but I preferred Tian Yuan's.

The Nam Yue spare rib is hot and tasty, look at Chunny's hungry face

They started putting the food into the Pumpkin porridge, while I was busy taking photos.


I remembered someone said, 'Waiting is the most painful thing'. Yes it always is.


Whoa! It's cooked ! Let's start eating ~


Kong just couldn't stop drooling while looking at the food.


After we've finished the food inside the pot, we still have two eggs left. As usual, we did the 'Eggs flower 蛋花' trick again, performed by Chef Ho.

Look at his lansee face, like nobody in this world can break the egg as good as him....

Look at his cheeky sepet eyes, he must be thinking that he looks cool using spoon to stir while others use folk....


Look at his lansee face again ! Wie Siong, he is challenging you to see who makes the better egg flower (蛋花) lah !!


Kong, 'Chow hai, fai lan dit lar !'
(mother fucker, faster lar !)
The Pumpkin porridge soup is just so nice especially after added the eggs. It's so sweet and tasty until we finished all the pumpkin porridge.

The Aftermath

Chun was shocked when he found out that his spare tyre rim has increased from 16" to 18".


The bill arrived at RM131.99. I think it's quite reasonable at around RM26 per pax, as we had ordered somemore additional food.

The bill, 1 cent for the tips so it's RM132 in total :p

The only girl that night, Karen on the left


Overall, I'm very satisfied with their food and services. The food is fresh and clean, and the Pumpkin Porridge soup is just nice, not too sweet. The service was very good as well because from time to time the staff will come and check on your table, add porridge and tea for you when necessarily, probably because it's not that crowded that night. Next time if I'm to go for porridge steamboat, for sure I will choose this Pumpkin Porridge steamboat again, until I've bored at it or something new has come out.

Queen's Park, Cheras
Lin Yuan Steamboat Kitchen is located at Cheras Queen's Park, along Peel Road and opposite Cheras Carrefour. Parking inside Queen's Park only RM1, and it has many factory outlet shops like MNG, Esprit, Giordano, etc and it even has Starbucks and Sushi King, definitely a place to visit.

BBQ toasted baguettes with cooked ham taste superb! Thanks to Ah Lee for his patient and ber-skilled BBQ'ing for us.

The whole BBQ session quite relexing and fun. Everyone have the initiative and keen to help 大家挟手挟脚, the table was well arranged by the girls, tidy and in order. The BBQ fire only takes around 30 minutes, and thanks to windy weather. Lucky the meet did not turn bad this time.

[[ Snooker Night.... ]]

- Thursday, July 5, 2007 -
Last week, both Yan and Chun went for their vacation. Yan, family trip to HK. Chun, Company trip to Langkawi.

Don't know why... suddenly I feel very bored. Although I did not usually join them out yam cha, outing, etc etc... But just feel like something is not there...

Therefore, I asked Chean and Kin Loong to play snooker to relax relax :p

Check out the following photos of our actions :p




[[ Safe and Sound ]]

Cool, you guys finally conquered Mount KK although .. Hmm .. our brother Chun here twisted his ankle or is it not twisted but just injured? Anyway, you guys are such a bravo and I also wish to conquer it with you all as well. So did any of you got a native to carry you down from the mountain? Awww .. c'mon ... admit it here !!!

Post the pictures !!!!



[[ Lucky trip ]]

Remember to plant your signboard with all your autograph on it up on the mountain peak ... chocolate bar, energy bar, nuts, bananas .... bring them !!! Safe hike and take pictures guys :-)



[[ Backpack gallore ]]

- Saturday, June 9, 2007 -
As some of you know, Chean, Yanny and me are planning to go KK this 19th of June, and all of us lack of a proper backpack. We have been checking around shopping malls, specialized shops, and other places since last weekend. And thanks to that Chean and Jet research spirit, they have found a shop that is always pop up among those backpackers discussion, in forums. Kedai Bag Yoon Hin (Yoon Hin Bag Store in english), at Pertama Complex. With a quote of "Wholesales of All Kind of Bags", we decided to go there and check it out.


Yoon Hin Bag Store. From left to right, Jeannie, Jet, Chean and Yanny (We took this after we got all our stuffs)

At first we only knew there were a shop in Pertama Complex, with shop lot address of G66, and the boss is a lady named Madam Sia, and there are tons of all sort Deuter bags selling there, with the cheapest price you can find s
o far in KL.


Bags and more bags!


"Holy Shit, so many bags! I dunno what I wanna get!"


Chean and Jet busy checking out the bags.

We only realized the shop name when we finally found it. Madam Sia is indeed a friendly lady, we were asking all sort of questions, playing, wearing, checking all the Deuter bags we were interested there, in the narrow and crowded shop.

Me and Chean quickly laid our hands on a Deuter bag known as Hokus Pokus upon arriving the shop. It is a hip pouch that can be converted into a near 20 liter daypack, the idea is so cool and we just can't resist the temptation to get one.


After lots of trying, testing, playings, checkings, considerations, and all other hassles you can think of, finally they bought the backpacks of their choice.


Ahhh... so tired both mentally and physically.

Chean got his Deuter Air Contact 45+10 Liter backpack, plus the Hokus Pokus.
Yanny finally own his first Deuter, the Deuter Futura 42 AC.
Got a Hokus Pokus too for me.
While Jet, has narrow down his choices to only the Deuter Quantum series and Deuter Traveller series, which he wants to buy for his HK trip on coming November.



Chean with Deuter Futura 42 AC


Check out the 'Quantum 55+10' on me.


"I've found what I want!" Chean with his victory pose.


We tried to attach the Hokus Pokus on Chean's Air Contact 45+10 as a removable daypack just like the Quantum and Traveller series, looks pretty good right?


Everyone got their bags! That's the Hokus Pokus, pouch and daypack mode!

P/S: Madam Sia even offered to help us getting other stuffs like sneakers, sport wears at the next store and other stores she knows, at a discount of 20%! Wow, what a wonderful nice lady! But bare in mind that Madam Sia only accept cash for her bags, so load your wallet with dough before you pay her a visit!

Few days later.....

Jet and Jeanie went back to find Madam Sia and bought the Deuter AirContact Pro 60+15L. It's a new model just stocked in by Madam Sia, it's not even there yet when we visited few days ago. Jet couldn't wait to share this with Chean, he said Madam Sia even agreed to change Chean's bag to another if he is not happy with it. The cheapskate Chean is seriously fluctuate by that. The day itself, the sohai greedy Chean left office earlier and went to top up his bag to AirContact Pro 50+15L, which is bigger, prettier, more features and much more fucking expensive ! - added by the Sohai Chean.
