i will TRY my very best to recall what happened since 29th august.
let me see.

31st august was iftar at simpang.

the people present at that point of time. but by the time it was nearing the break of fast time, more were there. namely; myself, fadzli, yan, yaya, lynna, zahrin, azri & wife, adi & wife, giant & gf, kai plus 2 other couples i do not know. =\

anyway, spize's service during the iftar was horrendously horrible. majority of us actually reacher quite early, about 1.5hours early or so. so what happened was, we decided to order our food first. which we thought was a good idea because then we thought we would be able to get out food early or on time for the break of fast. so some of our food did come. keyword: SOME. majority of the food didnt arrive even after majority of us has finished our food. & the thing was, we even brought it up to the manager (or so he claimed to be) about the "missing" orders. we were told that he would look into it but still, nothing was done. take note that by this time, it was already like 30 to 40mins after the break of fast. by this time, yan was super pissed off because it was basically an "empty promise" made by the manager. & was irked us even more was that some other tables that ordered later than us has already gotten their food.

i mean, we would definitely understand that we were in a big group but if your people think you cant remember our orders, you should have taken the initiative to write down our orders. plus its not as if we ordered ALOT of things, we order a meal for each of us. so its different orders, but you should not have expected that we ordered all the same dish to accommodate to your side just so you wont forget our orders, right?

this was my food. some grilled salmon which was definitely something i wont order anymore should i ever go over to spize for food. it was VERY bland, the only things i liked on this plate was the potato, broccoli & carrots. yes, only the vege. & the only reason i liked the vege was also because of nothing special. i liked them because i liked them in general. like eff la.

i only remembered i was trying to take a photo of the food because i thought it would be worth blogging about but obviously, its not. bah.

so, reminder to self: no spize for iftar. & never a 2nd time for the grilled salmon.

unfortunately for spize, not only from this incident, but from word of mouth, it was said that their service & food standard has dropped since 89.7 moved. no competition equates to an excuse to drop the standards? i dont think so. fine, they have the regulars who go to spize to hang out, or should i say a meeting point. but as a business, i dont think they should just be satisfied with just their regulars. they should always constantly provide the best service. because after all, restaurants/shops with same food concept, ie. western & asian cuisine, are constantly growing around the country. if they dont improve their standards or at least maintain the same standards they had before, then they just need to rely on their regular customers who MIGHT one day just "run" to other places too.

so after iftar, we decided to go over to kallang side for them to have some discussion on their holiday trip & sepang trip.

where's anith?
orang tengah sibuk discussing the plans, aku sibuk2 main chak-chak.

the ladies present.

the guys present.
NEXT.

i was actually on a 3week training for my job.
so it was basically back to school for me. =)

the cover of the super thick file. haha!

colours!
the 3wks jam-packed schedule, which consisted of tests every single day & THE exam on the last day! really felt like it was back to school for me. haha!
so new friends were made during the training; some close & some not. alot of fun during the classes & the neverending using of the local message system to send messages to each other. haha!
the constant worry about not passing the test everyday because that would mean having to come 30mins earlier the day after to sit for a retest.
the stress & nervousness during the validation day where everybody was constantly sure that we would fail. haha!

the place where we had to travel to 5days a week. =)

the last group photo on validation day.
so i went back to the branch on the 28th. miss the people in the branch too! =D

fadzli & myself have got a new hobby.
something which i was constantly bugging him to go for but he was constantly telling me that its a waste of time bla bla bla.
but now he'd hooked.

whats new? he'll never take into consideration my suggestions anyway by simply brushing all of it off as "waste of time" or "waste of money" or whatever else.
now he's the one who cant stop going for it, even to the extend of getting himself a personal rod.

the bait. chicken heart to be cut into small pieces & mixed with some dunno-what powder. haha!

at pasir ris.

at jurong.
we brought shahrul along for our prawning session in jurong. & this fella dont even wanna try la. so he was just sitting down watching fadzli & myself prawning while reading his motor culture and munching on his cheezels. then when fadzli was trying to unhook the prawn he caught, he broke the poor prawn's claws(?) so shahrul was like making noise & saying that fadzli's cruel. haha!

then this silly fella went to do something stupid, which was allowing one of the prawns which i caught to "pinch" his finger with the claws. haha!

so then after that, decided to go over to pasir ris to cook the prawns!

the fried prawns with the big prawn that day i caught as the main focus. haha!

the excited kids with the fried prawns.
ouh ya!
raya!

how could i forget about it?!

anyway, it was raya on the 3rd sept. so here are some pictures. haha!

my heavily pregnant sis-in-law (haha!), myself, amni & syukriah.

my hero, tajul asyrani.

my princess, iklil syukriah.

my darling, tajul zahirul-haq.
so yeah.

didnt really raya this year because i was busy with training & whatnots.

basket! have you seen the new pizza hut's cheesy 7 pizza. like, omg la!

i think it cant give me a cheese-gasm! omgomgomg!!!

i've been staring at the screen for the past 45minutes & i really have no idea on how & where to start.
too many things i know has happened since my last update, which was a month ago, some i remember & some i forgot.

so how? =\

alot of things has been happening since my last update. haha!
in no particular order:

met fadzli the other day after he accompanied yan to some bike shop. as per normal, he'll pick me up from work and with no where in mind to go, we hung out at yan's place. prior to that, bought some food from geylang bazaar. so we hang around, i ended up sleeping. haha! and aftr maghrib, we rode all the way to town to meet yaya & then to uncle mus. met zahrin & lynna there and we spent an hour or two there before proceeding to adam's corner for some supper/sahur, joined by bani & wawa.

haha!
that's alot of name within a paragraph. lol!

fadzli & myself went to watch step up 3d. initial plan was to go to kallang leisure park for the movie but while we were on ecp, the sky was getting so dark that we detoured and ended up at suntec. parked the bike at the basement and proceed to the ticketing counter to grab the tickets. bought some food too. i didnt fast due to some circumstance and fadzli, well, he didnt fast. *shrugs*

my verdict on the show?
well, in my personal point of view, the storyline was a little too predictable. & somehow or rather, parts of the story were "borrowed" from the movies step up, step up 2 and how she move. so yeah.
however, the dance moves in the movie was superb. i dont understand though why the lead actor was the lead actor. he didnt do any dancing for the pirates. bahh.


love this guy man!
his ability to control his muscles, one word, WICKED!


another of my favourite scene.

another favourite scene of mine in the movie was when the kids were dancing during the finale. ubber cuteness to the max, can!


so anyway, after the movie,
we were both stuck in suntec due to the rain. had late dinner at kfc while waiting for the rain to stop. did some window shopping & some shopping before proceeding to geylang, again, to meet the rest after the rain has stopped.
so park the bike over at yan's workplace & went to join zahrin & lynna over at the bazaar while waiting for yan to finish his work.

so around 11-ish, went back to yan's place & met azri, bani & wawa. had a few egg tarts and hot devil drumlets. yummy!
& since my eyes couldnt take it any longer, i had to go home. haha!

was on mc on thursday & friday. bronchitis is back in the house yo!
so fadzli has to stay away from me whenever he smokes. haha!
sorry, my dearest.
either you stay away from me when you smoke or i'd get asthma. your choice, baby. =P

accompanied fadzli to do up his bike on friday. wrong choice man!
even though i brought a book to read while waiting, i nearly died due to boredom. haha!
in the end, i fall asleep with my helmet as my pillow. lol!
perangai tak senonoh!

ended up at tampines after that because that's the nearest we could go to, taken into consideration that the sky was pretty much grey by the time the bike was done.
i needed to survey shoes for my work & fadzli needed to survey backpacks.
so we went from tampines mall to century square then to tampines mall again & to tampines1. after that to tampines mall & in the end, i bought my shoes at century square. haha! not taken into consideration the number of times we went to the individual shops. lol!
poor fadzli.

settled down at the food court at century square to break our fast by 6pm. lucky we were there at 6pm because by 630pm, the place was full.

didnt have anywhere in mind to go. the plan was actually to meet his colleagues over at geylang but it was a friday & since i worked morning on saturdays, he sent me home first before proceeding to geylang to meet his colleagues.

after work on saturday saw me going over to pasir ris.
took the bus to pasir ris from my work place. had a great sleep on the bus. haha!
1.5hrs of journey. lol.

break fast with his family and then went over to esso at paya lebar. waited for shahrul, who was 30mins late! pfffft.

then we wanted to make our way to still road. & my boyfriend decided to go by the long way because he wanted to "escape" the traffic over at geylang. haha!
ended up we actually made one big round. lol!

the place.

while waiting for komeng.

the nice chap who chose delicious durians for us. =)

wash hands. thank you.

smokers.
tsk! tsk! tsk!
so, we had a total of 6durians between the 4 of us, 3 bottles of mineral water & 1 coconut. total was $46, which in my personal point of view is acceptable. when taken into consideration how yummy the durians were, you know, the bittersweet taste. yeap!

went home straight after that & i was feeling quite heaty. haha!

& today when i woke up, i was practically voiceless!
& my cough's getting worse.

haha!
padan muka!

anyway,
i just wanna share some fantastic videos i came across while surfing youtube.






damn! i wish i am at least half as talented as they are. lol!

anyway,
what's an entry without a picture of fadzli & me?

i never got the chance to wish my dear readers selamat menjalani ibadah puasa.

ramadhan has always had a special place in my heart.
not only because it's the sacred month but also it is the month when fadzli & myself first met. its also the month we got together.
& everytime i reminisce about ramadhan in 2006 it never failed to put a smile on my face. 4 ramadhans has passed.
who would have guess that we managed to see 4 ramadhans passed us by just like that.

ramadhan is also the month that i'll always go to geyland more often than not,
almost at least one a week.
& i still wont get sick of the place.

the food, the deco, the atmosphere.
everything.

so just yesterday,
fadzli & myself decided to give geylang a visit after i was done with work. =)

before proceeding to our location for break of fast we dropped by a stall which fadzli simply loves to spend his money on.

approximately 30 minutes & $xx spent later...

comel kan? ♥so break fast was at smp.
& we actually sat down around 1hour or so prior to the time for break of fast. haha!
epitome of kiasuism. lol!

so it was more of walking around the bazaar.

because it was stil early in the month of ramadhan there wasnt much crowd.
so even if i were to snap photos, it wont really show the awesome-ness of the atmosphere of the bazaar.

so we were walking around the malay village side when we decided to randomly go for a ear candling/feet sauna promotion. since i was wearing a tudung and the treatment was done in the the open,
fadzli did the ear candling & i did the feet sauna.

according to fadzli the ear candling was great. the girl who did it for him knew he was a heavy smoker just but looking at his ear wax which was "sucked" by the procedure.
for myself, the feet sauna was superb. especially after almost a whole day of standing & then continued with walking. =)

walked around some more,
snapping random shots.

not much of random shots actually because i was with a bad headache by the time were done with the breaking of fast. =(

anyway
last sunday saw me breaking fast with his family over at pasir ris.
which was actually a last minute decision.
packed some ondeh-ondeh which i did for his family.

dont know how it tasted like actually.
fasting what! how to test taste?
tsk!

anyway,
without realising, its been a month since i first started out in my new job.
time seemed to pass by so fast, dont you think so?
