Buka Puasa

Buka Puasa means "breaking of fast" in Malay. During the holy month of Ramadan, which is the month leading to the Muslim Hari Raya celebration, believers are required to fast from sunrise till sunset.

Attended a Buka Puasa buffet dinner at Palace of the Golden Horses with colleagues a few days ago. A large variety of mouth-watering food were served there; enough to fill everyone's stomach to the brim.





COOL!

National Monument

Paid a visit to Malaysia's National Monument last weekend. The monument was constructed to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives while defending the country.

A brief description is displayed at the monument and is shown below. (Click to enlarge)

The Peak

Watch out for this gigantic sign announcing "THE PEAK".

Can you guess where this place is? Answer coming soon... Stay tuned...

It's Friday Again

It's Friday at last,
Time for a blast,
Let's all say cheers,
Come, there are plenty of beers.

Junks and More Junks

On one fine Sunday morning, as I go for a ride, I encountered one junk after another by the roadside.

Here they are:

All sorts of seafood...

Big or small;
Good-looking or ugly;
Soft or hard;

Rounded or sharp.

You name it, they have it - at Restoran South Sea Seafood, Kampung Baru Subang; some of which are as shown below...

1000 Lanterns

"Celebrate a 1000 Lanterns" is the theme for the Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration organised at Jade Hills on 6 Sep 2008. The clubhouse and the surrounding show village were beautifully decorated with thousands of lanterns of various colours and sizes.

The event started officially at 4:00pm but it was not until around 6:00pm that guests began trickling in.

The programme arranged for that evening include musical performances, choreographed dances, a drum symphony and children's games. Of course, most importantly, food and refreshments were served to fill empty stomachs.

As darkness approached, the lanterns were brightly lit to show off their colours.

In between performances, there were also psychedelic lights and contemporary music to entertain the crowd.

The visitors were seen enjoying themselves with the activities lined up for them.

Couldn't take many photos of the events that day due to work commitments. Nevertheless, here are a few more pictures to leave you with.

COOL... Can't wait for the next event at Jade Hills...

Camel

Do you know that camels exist in Malaysia? Well, actually not the real ones as found in the deserts but a life-sized manmade one. Managed to spot one, here it is.

Disneyland

No, this is not Disneyland as you might have expected, but a housing estate that looks like Disneyland. This is Taman Putri Jaya located at Cheras, Selangor. You will notice these houses as you travel along Cheras-Kajang Expressway near Batu 9 Toll Plaza.

Notice that the corner house stand out among the rest with a rounded, bigger and higher "viewing tower".

Some houses have been repainted and decorated with bright striking colours;

while others have their original colours and design maintained.

Frangipani

Frangipani is an exclusive, high-class restaurant tucked away at a quiet corner of Changkat Bukit Bintang, off Jalan Bukit Bintang, KL.

As you enter the restaurant, you will see a stunningly huge and decorative heavy-duty door. A sweet usher will then proceed to open the door and guide you into the dining area.

Once inside, you can really feel the ambience of the place, with the seating arrangement surrounding a pool of water at the centre.

Here, it is fine dining at its best. The price shown in the menu is on the high side, but then again, the food, the service and the atmosphere of the place make it all worthwhile.

A highly recommended place for a romantic getaway dinner. To make a reservation, please call 03 21443001.
