Happy Birthday!!.... to me..

Hahaha.. Its my birthday today!! But I started to celebrate since yesterday..
Yesterday noon, I went to Fish Market to have my lunch. I ordered a King Salmon Cajun ala carte. Very nice!!! It serves with rice.. I think they put some corn into the rice when they cook as the rice is very aromatic.. The main part here is the fish.. It is very fresh and its meat is very tasty.


Aaken ordered a set lunch. Fish n Chips, Pacific Cod. It comes with a mushroom soup and coffee/tea. He complain that the taste for this dish is normal. Can be eaten else where.. Nothing special.. About the mushroom soup...kinda watery.. Doesn't like it..


Later I go shopping in Queensbay..Bought some stuffs.. Thought of watching Surrogates.. But duno this movie is nice or not. So I decided to watch next time. Actually also thought of buying a new pair of shoes. But after so many "visits" to shoe shops, I still can't get a pair that I like..
Nevermind..I plan to go Prangin Mall tomorrow to hunt for my new shoes!! Hahahaha..
After all the shopping I went back to rest..

At night, Aaken bring me to Little Cottage.. Most of my friends here say that this is a romantic cafe. Once we reach there, it looks like a full house from outside. But when we go in, there is a few tables empty for us in upstairs.


I ordered a Creamy Fettuccine for main course.. Actually it is a spaghetti. For drink, I ordered a so called "Little Cottage Fruit Shake". The whole drink is filled with strawberry!!!! Pure strawberry!! At first, it taste very nice. But later I started to feel a bit disgusting as there is too much strawberries in the drink..


The stupid Aaken ordered a set dinner. A Spiced Chicken serves with mushroom soup, a bun, a coffee/tea and a dessert. Little Cottage first serve the mushroom soup and the bun. The bun is soft. Very nice!! But the mushroom soup again let me down.. Not nice!! Too creamy..Very heavy milk taste.. But the Spiced Chicken is nice!! Taste kinda like a satay.. Serve with a cup-cake like potato.. I do not know what they call it actually.Haha.. It is just a potato serve in a cup.. Nothing special about the potato taste. Finally is the dessert, a chocolate cake.. a very small size chocolate cake.. Aaken can eat in just one mouth!! Hahahaha..


After we finish all the food, I ask the waiter to help us take a picture.. We went back around 10:30P.M..


At 12A.M sharp, Aaken prepare the cake for the celebration. Well, I made a few wishes this year..Hahaha.. Hope the god don't feel that I am too greedy!! Hahahahaha!!


After that, we took a few pictures.. You look at the stupid guy below.. Really look stupid..


I have a new member in here that wanted to celebrate birthday with me. Try to take over my cake.. But luckily Aaken stop it.. It is "him"!!


He is after my strawberry!! Try to jump in several time s for it!!.. At last, I gave him one so that he won't border me.. Ate like a crazy people.. Finish the strawberry in just seconds..Hahahaha..


After all the activities, I am too tired to continue and went to sleep straight.. Anyway Happy Birthday to me!! Hopefully I get all my wish this year!!

While eating, we all take turn to take pictures with these two dogs..Hahaha..

But before we went in...We all take pictures with these cute doggies again!! They are too cute!! Our big mama is the first booking to take pictures with them..


We take a "trip" in Shirley's house. We all "kepoh" from 1st floor until 3rd floor. After preparing the watermelon and juices, we went down to the main hall and chit chat. Big mama go back around 11:45P.M as she need to take care of her baby. This dog look so steam after playing so long with us.

Happy Mooncake Festival to all!!!!!!!

Penang Hill

We went to Penang Hill today. Wake up about 7.30AM. Then start moving from my house to Penang Hill and reach there about 8.15AM. Saw a bunch of kids.. Most probably a school visits.. Damn noisy!!

We went straight to the counter to buy the ticket. This is what the main entrance to the ticket counter looks like..


Just beside this building, there is a small fountain.. Have to wait for the bunch of kids to finish taking their pictures then only we got our turn.. But anyway, we met a very nice family that offer to help us to take photo for us.. Well...its still early in the morning, so we look kinda still sleeping. Hahaha..


After bought the ticket, we must go and wait in a small waiting area for the train.


The railway was built in 1923 and it takes about half an hour to the top. I quickly take a photo once I get into the train as there is many many many people come rushing in!!!


There is about 5 to 6 station en route to the top of the hill. We have to change the train in the middle of the trip as the train route is seperated into two. This is what we see before reaching to the top..


Just minutes before reaching the top, we saw a tunnel.. Just a short one.. About 20 meters long only..


After aboard from the train, I use a binocular to have a view of the whole Penang Island..


We are very hungry at the moment and is looking for food up here. Just wondering what kinda food we can get here.. There is some stalls here once we exit this station.. But only sell drinks..
As we walk I can actually see the whole Penang from here!!


Got a few interesting places here to be walk around here actually. The first is the De Canopy walk.. But unfortunately, it is closed for maintenance!!!
Have a Botanical Garden and a Tea Shop.. But must walk about one and a half hour from here to get there.. So my decision is just find some food nearby is sufficient for me.. Hahahaha


As I walk, I found a Mehendi stall!!! Right up here in Penang Hill!! But I just ignore it since I am not interested doing here at this moment. Then saw a stall selling grasshopper.. Fake grasshopper made from Cogongrass.. RM1 each..


Finally!! We saw a place!! Food stalls!!! Charge!!!!
But only a few choices of foods only.. A nasi lemak stall, nasi tomato, roti canai and a few drink stalls. No choice.. Just take a simple nasi lemak and nasi goreng kampung here..


There is a wooden train just beside this food stall.. Actually doesn't know what exactly this is for but I just went up and take a few pictures here.. Hahahahaha..


After some short walk, we finally run out of gas and just wanted to go back and rest..
On the way back just took a picture of another train take come towards us the opposite way!!
But luckily the train didn't collided as there is two rail line for it.. Heheheh.


It's 12pm when we reach back down here.. If you are an adventure type and like to walk around, you can sure spend a lot of time up there.. Lastly, I don't recommend this place for lazy people like me as I can't walk long!! Hahahaha!!!
