New Finding

Besides enjoyed the wedding stuff, the rest of my week continuely been bombared with new and interesting finding especially places with nice food(**swan look up**haha)

Banana Leaf Rice

Last wednesday, we ( roomate and me) are late for dinner because need to complete some part of our thesis experiment on that day itself..when we are done, clock already shown its needle at number 8...so we just called up my another roomate named hui jean whether to join dinner together...of course she agreed since she havent had hers too and we only get start to heading for our dinner at 9pm since jean's class end at that time...decided to have a try on the cheap,super fulling and yummy banana leaf rice at Restaurant Nirwana around Bangsar Village area which recomanded by jean ( she ate before with her friend)...

Reached destination, banana leaf being laid on the table in front of us and the 'ah neh' start to fill up our leaf with variety of dishes included timun salad, fried bitter gourt, spicy long bean, and 3 kind of kuah on the rice....and all this dishes u can add as much as u want till you really surrender for it....jean's rice is like a mountain since that felow suggested her to take the rest of the rice in the container since left not much..but then that portion really will clog up to my throat if i am the one goin to have it..haha...it is really satisfying and guarantee you will go out from that shop without complaints of 'not enough full'...and the important thing is v ordered two rice and my another roomate ate roti canai and it only cost us not more than rm18 for 3 person to eat till walk out like penguins..haha

Shabu Shabu at Restaurant 100 degree

On saturday, there is a gathering among my coursemate and again based on others recommendation we decided to have shabu shabu at '100 degree'...this is our first successfull gathering among coursemate (joined by almost 90%) since we know each other at first year..hehe..totally 10 out of 13 person joining and we went with two cars...this restaurant is well known for its variety of soup and its sauces...overall i think they have about 10 kinds of soups (eg: original, tom yam, bak kut teh, herbs, porridge, golden porridge, fish head soup and alot more)..i chose fish head soup which taste not bad but golden porridge and bak kut teh soup are highly recomanded..yummy...their price are reasonable too except for the drinks which are abit more costly...Not to forget mentioning about their sauces which also take up our table area almost as much as our main dish since they made up from more than 10 kind of different 'species'..we have so much of fun, take so much photos and make so much of noise..luckily thanks to our friend who made an early booking so we can enjoy to the max in the reserved room...

After lunch, we went for 'coursemate shopping trip' to pyramid....every one enjoyed this outing very much especially at the sunglasses trying part...v almost tried all the sungllasses on the rack of few shops and passing the sunglasses around among us so that every one get a try and laugh when someone start trying some weire glasses..(pity the shopkeeper too la..hehe^^)..but then at least some of us got purchase few of the sunglasses so didnt felt so guilty la for our 'sakai-ness'..ha..End our 'coursemate outing trip' officially at around 11pm..fuh..wat a tiring day too^^

GeneCode Talk

One of my coursemate under the thesis title which related to fingerprint, through chance and luck, have get to exposed to this interesting field which called DERMATOGLYPHIC under the GeneCode company...DERMATOGLYPHIC is the genetic science of finger prints. They can relate our brain to the fingerprint...this means through fingerprints one can know his /her talents and characteristic after being test by a profesional fingerprint collecting and analysis system..GeneCode is a company which pour their full commitment in this field and recognized as a profesional company in this field...My few coursemates and i went to this company's talk on sunday for introduction of DERMATOGLYPHIC under the recomandation of that fingerprint thesis's coursemate..for sure it is an interesting talk and at least i get to learn how to roughly know a person characteristics through their thumb print(though is just a very basic one only)..Neway, nice experience and precious knowledge too^^

~~Wedding~~

Interesting stuff and activities keeps emerging into my life for last few weeks...Enjoyed it very much though at the same time trying hard finding myself some time to at least cool down my mind and body in between..hehe..

For the merdeka weekend i have been invited to attend my friend's(subash) brother wedding...i agreed happily and looking forward it since i get the invitation on early of the month..the reason being i have never attended any indian wedding before and the urge of curiosity to know about all the culture and procedure of indian style wedding making me felt exciting when going through the whole process.

It is very kind of my friend that he given me this precious chance to experience through the whole and complete process of the wedding ceremony which roughly taken up three days...really appreciate his kindness very much^^..so i will roughly jot down the activities that i have joined for that three wonderful day..

First day:

We went to subash's house which just a stone throw away from mine at around 7.30pm..When we reached there, some prayer ceremony is already starting...the first part of the prayer will be done at the garden in front of the house...the objective of this prayer is somekind of curfew for the bridegroom from stepping of the house till the real wedding day which fall on 2 days after..this is to protect the bridegroom from any negative elements. Then, the bridegroom will sit at a small compound which surrounded with all kind of stuff that used for 'blessing' ceremony later..today it is the 'blessing' from mother side's relative that would be done...

Besides, swan and me get the honour to join the bride's side visiting and enjoyed the present giving part too since only ladies can do this part...the atmosphere at the bride's house is so happening and it is somekind like housewarming party..buffet is provided and the music is so luring because u will feel like shaking the body when u pass by the DJ and PA system area..there are a group of people who enjoyed themself dancing there and we didn join since v are still strange to that place..but then savithra (bridegroom's sis) said: dont worry, tomorow is our turn..haha

2nd day:

Went for jogging,breakfast and shoping at pyramid in the morning till noon...Had fun too though it is just normal stuff because gone through all that with swan and her cute and fun friend--Paul.. Then, we went to subash's place again around evening..that night more visitors attending and it is the dad's side relative turns to give blessing all..v enjoyed the yummy yummy food and had a dance too( i think i am somekind of jumping randomly compare to dance..haha..xp)..Help done some packing stuff then back to recharge ourself for the 'big' day..

3rd day:

The real wedding ceremony will be held at indian temple which i only get to watch at tv show normally..So today i can watch it live in front of me..wow, so exciting yo...Got up quite early on that morning since subash tell us to reach the temple at 9am..wore a special kind of semi-punjabi suit on that day...then ceremony started and have grabbed a precious experience and knowledge about indian culture there..After that, we had our indian style yummy lunch again at the temple and then back home fully filled with satisfication..hehe^^

**Funny thing is swan and me seems to be over excited by attending every single wedding ceremony process till our parents asked: Now actually is your friend's wedding or friend's brother wedding??.....hahahahahaha..Neway,nice one^^
