Hot but laid back weekend...

Its a hot weather weekend, with so little rain in average and even night temperature is also high which cause me hard to sleep as well, even in air-cond room. Probably in heat? Hahaha... Anyway, had the chance to had 2 meals of Thai meals this weekend, the first one was at the normal place that we had, where me, Sarah and Amanda went for it since their parents went out. We had the good dishes; tom yum in coconut, fried paku vege, fried sotong and braised pig knuckle and the total cost was about RM77, Sarah paid for the meal, thanks for the meal. Then we drove to Little Korea @ Ampang and bought some nice breads and ice-cream for dessert. Since we are already in Ampang and Amanda never been to Look Out Point, so we decided to drive there and we walked up the Look Out Point to see the night scenery. Actual reason were to help in digestion of the amout of food intake that we had for dinner. The weather was pretty stunning, allowing us to have a good night view of KL/Ampang. The sad part was that i didn't bring my E-3 with me, too bad. Perhaps next week or the following week if i am in town, perhaps...

Next day, Sunday we had Thai for lunch as well. The location is near to Ampang Look Out Point where we went yesterday. Sarah's dad informed that the dishes there are nice and fairly cheap as compared to outside restaurant. So we drove up there (the 4 of us, Sarah, Amanda, uncle and me) as aunty was helping out in the HOSPIS charity sale. the photos of the dishes that we ordered is as below:













Total bill for the food plus with chinese tea + ice is about RM79.50 for 4 person. What do you think? Cheap? I think so, and along with the environment, i would say its fairly new to most KL folks. Took the opportunity to have some shots nearby, below is the slide show of the shots that i have taken, enjoy it!



It was indeed a nice weekend, a slow one as i had minimal time to spend on work related stuff and most of the time was spend on myself. This is something good for me, after the week long of unfinished work. Now, i am just hoping next week i would be able to have my weekend and do not need to travel offshore for rig up as next week would be the weekend for Labour Day, long weekend and my parents would be going for a family outing at PD. Hope i won't be missing it eventually due to work again. Really need to have more balance in life and work. Life is short, need to make the best out of the years that we have...

Long Postponed Updates

Sounds familiar to some of you? Probably as the title was plucked from one of my friend's blog that i can recall. It have been some time since i blogged, probably due to my workload which is pressing on me hard. I hardly can find the time for myself or with my loved ones, either i am on call or need to work long hours even its weekend. After completing all the work, i am too dead tired to do anything else interesting or out of extra ordinary. Been living a quite a boring life with work in my mind or way all the time.

One of the time when i have some time off is 2 Saturday back, on the 11 April 2009 whereby myself, Sarah and Kuan Ming headed for a day trip to Melacca. We took off from KL early morning @ 8am and reach Melacca at about 10.30am as i was driving slow. What is the rationale of getting summons to speed to a location whereby the initial plan was to have some fun and have a laid back life. We went there to eat Chicken Rice Ball, Popiah(x2), Coconut Shake, Wan Tan Mee(x3), Nyonya Laska, Barli Lime, Rojak, Fruits Candy Coated with malt, Dim Sum and etc. Too much to express in words for the foods that we have consumes. Bet my girlfriend, Sarah put on few hundred grams for sure :)

We went around Melacca for photo shoot, and below would be the slideshow of the photos taken throughout the trip. Enjoy :-)



Had a great time in Melacca despite coming back dead tired and with sun burned marks on my face due to pro long exposure under the direct sunlight.

My last name is Jo, first name is Goya. Call me Jogoya...

I am born in Taiwan but residing here in KL. I move in to Starhill Gallery in the early days of year 2006. I was well-known throughout, like a beautiful gal walks into a room crowded with common people. I was considered high class and out of the extraordinary as i have excellence taste bud for good food. People were paying a hell worthy price to dine with me and reservation need to be made prior to the visit, last minute show up will normally be turned down, especially on the weekend. Weekday could be better, but normally is crowded. I go on shift, practically few shift, not the common 2 or 3 shifts a say where other people were on.

But anyhow, those was what i called history. Now i am still popular, but my fame is reduced after dining with most people. People tend to lose interest in me after dining lately, perhaps its due to the fact i am being more common lately in the society nowadays. This i can take, but what bothers me much is that the reason is due to the fact that people says that my taste bud is off or out, no longer like what i used to be, recommending and providing good and excellence food. What i have now is more of the common ones i guess, but out of the common, the taste was very common either. Perhaps from that, i am no longer considered while worthy and guess i will be getting more lonely as time passes by as you know that word passed by mouth would spread so fast where it will get known to all. I am very hurt and sad to hear this, but i got no choice as i am who i am now. Can't blame anyone of they start to dislike me and start to befriend with someone else. There could be some individual whom would start to talk bad about me, telling how bitchy, how senseless i have become and etc. Guess this is life...

May i rest in PEACE !!!

 

P/s: Hope no one take this to his/her heart. This story is not relevant or related to any individual either dead or alive. It would be all of a coincidence at the time of publish.

Still not well yet

Like the title of my post for today, i am still not well yet after the flu i had last week. The sore throat is leaving, now left with cough. Perhaps the other day had ice-cream at the ice-cream house which left me with the cough. Sigh, hope to recover from it soon as i would need to work on Thursday...

If i don't recover fully, then the Jogoya treat for this coming Sunday would not be an enjoyable one as i cannot eat all i like :)

Hungry G**** Festival

I was at MidValley the other day. Reach there at about 6 plus and was walking up from the car park. Wow, it was so crowded in MidValley, never seen so many people. Some were walking, some were standing, and some were sitting.As though waiting for something. Then I recalled, waiting for the time for the end of fasting for the day. Most of them were waiting on their feasting table, with their food served. All they could do was to stare and wait while the food gets cold. It was just nearly 7pm, another 30 minutes more to go. How could they stand looking at the food while waiting for the right time to come? I can’t stand that if I were them.

Most of the restaurant was having buffet style dinner for the fasting month which includes San Francisco Steakhouse. Imagine that, where could their standard be? Gosh. Everywhere was crowded, I may say occupied with people who only stare at their food and wait for the time to come. Sigh.

Lousy Day + Lousy Food

Reach office just on the dot, 9:00am. Why at that hour? This is due to some car accident along the road to the Uniten. Gosh, wasted 15 minutes there. Reach office, it felt like a sleepy day still as normal for Monday as it is Monday Blues.

Got a 'asam' from Cheng Sze, thout it will be sour, gosh there was no taste at all and was just tasteless which could make me feel puke. No choice but to spit it out as i can no longer have it in my mouth. Dustbin is where it landed.

Since it was Monday, lets reward myself a bit. So decided to have a nice dinner with my friend. We choosed Dragon-i at Leisure Mall (http://www.dragon-i.com.my). We ordered their speciality such as 'Siu Long Pau' and also 'La Mian', SzeChuan style and also the 'Pat Pou' Fried Rice(Chicken, Ham & Yam). Gosh, the food sucks at MAX. The fried rice tasted worst of all i have eaten and i paid RM16 for it. No wonder 'Pat Pou', seems to be lots of treasure but seems just empty treasure where nothing nice. The SzeChuan La Mian was cooked with oil itself. You can seive a whole bowl of oil out from it. Total price we paid, RM50++

Question:
1) Would i visit there again? NO
2) Would i visit there on treat by someone? NO
3) Would i recomend a friend? NO
4) Rating for this restaurant? NONE
