Yogi Tree

Yesterday, my husband's family, my husband and I went to Yogi Tree at the Gardens. Yogi Tree is a restaurant that serves healthy food as it's concept is back to original cooking.It only uses natural ingredients and original also flavours. Hence, the prices of the food are quite expensive.

The ambiance is very relaxing and you can see many advises on the wall.

However, the taste of the food is very good even though they do not use any artificial ingredients. The ambiance of the restaurant is also very relaxing and you can see many advises on health and food on the wall. Yogi Tree serves Western cuisines and also Malaysian cuisines too so consumers have more optuons.

The counter is also written with today's special menu so you can choose the food from there without looking at the menu too.

The service there is very good too. The waiters know their stuffs very well and are able to recommend the dishes to us very well. All the dishes that she recommended were very good. :) They were very attentive too as they would make sure that all the food were served on time and they would refill our water without us having to ask. The most important thing in a restaurant is the service and I would say that Yogi Tree has a very good service. Thumbs up for them!

The menu of Yogi Tree. We had ordered Original Roast Chicken, Chicken Cheeseburger, Chicken Pie, Nasi Ayam Percik and Spanish Fried Rice. We also ordered three cups of fruit juice. All the dishes that we ordered were delicious but the serving is not very big except from the Spanish Fried Rice which can be shared among 3 people. The desserts there are also very nice.

There is one good news.Anyone who has HSBC credit card can enjoy 20% discounts on the main dishes until 31st December. So, anyone who has HSBC credit card can try to go there. :)

~Chico & Oreo up for ADOPTION~

If you have read my previous blog then, you should know about my pets Chico and Oreo. They are two cute guinea pigs. Chico is a Shelty which has long and smooth fur meanwhile Oreo is a Abyssinian which has short curly hair. They are very tame and cute and they do not require a lot of time to take care of them.

This is Chico. He has brown and white long fur. He is very tame and he likes to eat carrot form your hand. He is a Shelty.

This is Oreo. He has black and white short fur and that is the reason we named him Oreo. He is very tame and he is a coward. He is an Abyssinian.

Chico is 11 months old and Oreo is around 10 months old.We really love them but we have to give them away because my hubby (Li Fu) is moving out soon from his house with his family and the new house does not have space for my two guinea pigs. I'm feeling so sad as we have been taking care of them for a long time.

The ways to take care of them are very easy.Everyday, change the newspaper on the bottom of the cage so the room will not be smelly.Then, give them water and food.Just make sure the food and water will not run out as they will die if they do not eat or drink in more than 12 hours. Then, every week just bathe them once and cut their nails once every two weeks. They also like to eat carrots and spinach but they are not allowed to eat too much of these as they will get diarrhea and they may die because of this.

Anyone who read this blog and is interested in adopting them please contact me (Sophia - 0122238138) or Li Fu (0123598687). We will give you the food, the cage, the nail clipper and also the shampoo. So, any good Samaritan please call us. Thank you.

~ Sakae Sushi ~

On this Tuesday, Tisha and I went to the Curve for another shopping spree. After one whole day of walking around, we decided to fill our stomach with Japanese food and we chose Sakae Shushi for our dinner. I have always wanted to eat Sakae Sushi as many people told me that the food there is good.

Tisha and I looking tired after one whole day of shopping. :)

The first thing that we noticed when we were seated was a small washing basin that was on the wall. We thought that it was for washing hand and Tisha put her hand under the water to wash. "Awww!! It was hot," shouted Tisha and she flung the water all over the place. I started to laugh at her and coincidentally the waiter was standing by our side that time.I saw him smirking too.Haha!! Tisha was so embarrassed and she blamed me for making her to wash her hand using the water. Well, next time have a better judgement gal.Hehe!!

The washing basin that burn Tisha's hand. Hehe..

The different types of sushi that are served there. The price is from Rm1.90 - 3.90.

We ordered a plate of ebidon, tuna sushi and also salmon sushi.Then I ordered a bowl of chicken udon and Tisha ordered Unagi hot bowl. Besides, we ordered green tea ice as our drinks and when the green tea arrived only we got to know that the hot water from the basin was actually for mixing the green tea. What a revelation!! Haha!!

The Unagi hot bowl.Tisha complained that she could feel the small bones in the Unagi and said that Sushi Zanmai Unagi is better.I also agreed with her that Sushi Zanmai food is better than Sakae Sushi and have more choices.

The green tea set. You have to do the green tea yourself and I think it's a brilliant idea as the waiter or waitress do not need to help us to refill. Besides, Tisha burned her hand because of this too.Hehe..

You can also order your food by using the PC. Just click on the food and the waiter will send them to you. But no one actually use this facility.

GenTing TriP wiTh R@w@ng G@ngZ

I finally went for a trip at Genting with my friends from Rawang after like ages of not being able to go to the previous trips with them.There were 13 of us that went for the trip and we had an enjoyable,memorable and the funniest trip ever.I will remember this trip forever as it was the most memorable and unforgetable trip.

Eight of us (Siew Yee,Han Wee, Wai Ching, Suet Chin, Chai Yian, Yoke Thing, Git See and me) rented a van to go up to genting. Meanwhile, Hui Ling, Figo, Jan Hou and Ming Hong had the luxury of going up by Figo's car.So Unfair!! Haha..Actually I enjoyed sitting in the van with all of them because we were able to gossip all the way up there. There were few incidents that happened during our trip at Genting. Now let's see what are the incidents.

1. The Van Stopped Us At Cable Car!!

Mr Raymond, our driver was supposed to send us all the way up to Genting but he actually stopped at the cable car station and had the audacity to ask us to take the cable car to go up. The reason that he gave us was the car engine might over heat.What the HELL!! He didn't tell us anything about this ealier and all of a sudden he just threw us at the cable car station.All of us were so irritated and when we saw the line, we nearly fainted. There was like around 500 PEOPLE waiting for the cable car and it would take us hours before we could even board a cable car. We were thinking of taking a taxi and ask Mr Raymond to give us back RM4 each and suddenly he agreed to take us up.It seemed that the engine would not over heat after all. At last we reached Ria Apartement safely without the need to push the car.Haha!!

Siew Yee and me posing in the van happily :)

2. Karaoke Session

The first activity after we had our MC D lunch was to sing karaoke but we decided to do it during the dinner time as the price was cheaper and we could have our dinner together.Most of them had never gone to Genting's karaoke before and it was already several years since I visited Genting's karaoke, so all of us did not know how the karaoke room would be and we were all filled with anticipation of having a superb karaoke session. Deng - Deng - Deng - Deng! The room was actually quite small for 13 of us and the things inside were all very outdated.From the TV to sofa and even the remote control.We actually had a good laugh at the room, thinkin that it was such a 'Dinosaur room'. The problem of singing k at genting was we were not able to sing new songs because they did not have them. We actually had a hard time selecting our songs to sing. The worst thing were the mics and the surround system. 13 of us actually had to share two mics as the waitress said it was their protocol of giving two mics for each room. Then one of the mics was not working and after changing it, the mic was still giving us problem. Sigh......You should upgrade all the rooms Tan Sri Lim.

Happily snapping away during our Karaoke session. :)

3. Bowling Session

We girls decided to go bowling at around 11 something as the guys wanted to go to the casino and this was the most memorable bowling session that I had ever had.First of all, I started of terribly and scored only 9 points after 3 games and all of them were laughing at me saying that the last one would have to treat all. To show that I was not a terrible bowler and also to save my wallet, I actually strike at the 4th game.WOW!! All of them were shocked and we were also lauging as we belived the reason that I strike was because I jumped on the floor till the pin drooped.Haha..Could anyone believe that?At the end I won the 3rd place.Haha. The funniest incident that happened was a group of foreigners (we suspected from India) actually had the audacity to come inside and took the balls and threw them on other people's lane.The couple beside us were the victims. When we were looking at the drama unfolding beside us, something happened to Hui Ling. It was her last game and she had just strike so she had another chance to play. When she was looking at the 'drama' an Idian woman who was from the group actually took a ball and sneaked up to her lane and threw the ball - inside the 'LONGKANG'. Haha!!

When Hui Ling saw it, she went ballistic and she scolded the woman "What the HELL, why did you simply threw on other people's lane?" All of us were shocked to see her so fierce as this was the first time we saw her scolding at someone so fiercely. Then the woman kept on apologising and ran back to her family. At the end the staff was able to ask them to leave. It was actually the funniest thing that I had ever seen before and all of us really had a good laugh at it.We would not forget this incident forever, especially 'What the Hell!'. Haha

Posing with the ball during the game :)

Where you throwing the ball gal?Haha..

4. The Van Didn't Come to Fectch Us!

On Sunday, we had agreed with Mr Raymond that he would come to fetch us at 2 pm sharp. 8 of us were waiting impatiently for him when the clock was showing 2pm and most of us were rushing home as that day was 'Go Dong'. Yian decided to call him after we waited around 10 minutes and he said he was on the way up. After another 15 minutes, she called again but this time he did not pick up the phone. She continued calling him and he still didn't pick up. After half an hour, we were all getting angry so we decided to give him a last chance. If he still did not pick up our call, we would just call taxis to send us back. At the end, he still didn't pick up the call so we decided to take taxis to go back. This was the most irresponsible person that I had ever seen before so next time please do not ask Mr Raymond to send any of you to anywhere because he does not know what is called RESPONSIBILITY!

All of these incidents actually make this trip more fun and memorable. I will cherish this memory forever as we all know that it is not so easy to go for a trip together again in the future as all of us are busy with our own lives. However, I hope that we will have many more chances to go for a trip together again :)

Just now I just got to know that two of my friends that are teaching in the same school with me have successfully applied to go back to their hometown. I do feel happy for them but at the same time I'm feeling sad because I lose two friends from the school.One of the teacher is Teng and she is from Sarawak.Furthermore, she and me are the only Chinese teachers in the school and now I will be the only Chinese in my school. :(

Every Sunday, she would fetch me from my house and went church with her.Then. we would go to eat lunch together and now I will definitely miss all these outings.Sigh.. Besides, she was the only one that I could speak in Mandarin with and any problems that I faced I would also tell her.Well, I will definitely miss her as she is a good friend to me. She really helped me a lot during the first few weeks that I was there.She was the one that fetched me from the airport,introduced me to the school teachers and told me all about the school.Without her, I think I would face a lot of problems.

However, I wish her all the best in her future school and get a baby faster with her husband.Hehe.. I will miss u gal :) xoxo

~ Love Is In The @iR ~

I just came back from one of my guy friends' (Hock) house as his sister is getting married tomorrow. It seems like this year and particularly this month, many people are getting married.Just recently only my cousin sister got married and on the same day she got married, we actually saw another two wedding cars on the road.Wow!! Is it because this year is a n auspicious year to get married or is it because 'Love Is In The Air?'

I'm hoping that whoever that get married this year will have a happy marriage and be blessed with many children. Actually, I really love wedding because it brings many people (friends, relatives and family) together. And all of these people will be the one that witness your happiest day in your life. So, I hope that my wedding will bring everyone together and be blessed by all the people that I love and cared for. :)

I recently read a book by John Grogan, Marley and Me. It's been quite a long time since I came across a book that made me wanted to finish it in one shot and Marley and Me was successful in doing this.I could not put down the book the moment I started to read it.

This book is really wonderful and even people that do not love dogs will also fall in love with dogs after reading this book. Marley and Me is about a couple, Jenny and John, who just got married and everything was wonderful for them. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow fur ball of a puppy that would change their life.



When I was reading the book, I would laugh at the antics of Marley and would get angry just like the author when Marley did something really bad.However, at the end of the story, I was crying as Marley left this world after 13 years with his beloved owners.


This book actually reminded me of a puppy Labrador, Xiao Q, that I had taken care of few years ago. She was exactly like Marley naughty, cheeky and adorable. Just like Marley,she had left this world too. Hopefully, they meet each other at the heaven and can play together happily.


You can visit Marley and Me website at http://www.johngroganbooks.com/marley/index.html and you will be able to check out Marley's cute pictures. Now I can't wait for the movie which will be released on X'mas day.Hopefully the movie is as good as the book.

Yesterday Tisha,Siva and I decided to go to One U, Parkson for shopping.But actually it was only Tisha and me went for shopping meanwhile Siva just waited for us at Starbucks.Haha..Pity the guy. We decided to eat first before we started our shopping spree.So, we went to eat at Sushi Zanmai. I didn't bring my camera so I had to take pictures with my hand phone.

This is the menu of Sushi Zanmai.Their theme is more to greenish colour.

These are some of the dishes that they offer. I ordered Ebidon (small), fried prawns with egg on rice.The taste was not bad but I felt the Garden's branch served bigger bowl compared to One U.

These are another two dishes but we didn't order any one of these.Haha..The food price is very reasonable there.Ranging from RM 8.90 to RM 20++. So, it's really affordable for people who like Japanese food.

These are Temagi and we wanted to order at first but scared could not finish so we didn't order at the end.However,I have tried these before at the Garden's branch and they were absolutely fantastic!!

It is an open air restaurant and the whole restaurant was decorated with paper lanterns.The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice.Very suitable for gathering.

Tisha and Siva pretending not to look at the camera.Haha!

After we had our fantastic lunch, we went for our shopping spree.It was nice to go shopping with Tisha again.The two of us spent nearly 3 hours shopping at One U.Then at 5.15pm we went to watch Bolt. We wanted to watch 3D at first but the price was too expensive,RM16 for one ticket! The price was exorbitant!!So, at last we just watched the 2D one and it only cost us RM7 for one ticket as we used student's card.Haha!!

Bolt is a very nice movie as it was funny, exciting and touching.The characters in the movie are all so cute especially the hamster (RHINO).Haha!! Remind me of my guinea pig.

Bolt,the super dog,trying to save his owner, Penny.This movie really shows us that dog is indeed human best friend.Forever loyal to their loved one.

We went home after the movie and it was a great day going out with Tisha and Siva.Let's do it again guys!! :)

~TriP to Mal@cc@~

Last Friday (12th Dec), my hubby, Ben, Yian, Fan Yu, Yian's brother and sister in law and I went to Malacca for a 3 days 2 nights stay. We started our journey at 7.30pm on Friday evening and we reached Malacca town at 10 pm.Before that,we even stopped at the Sungai Besi tol to eat Mc Donald and KFC as our dinner.Actually I ta pau the Mc Donald and went to KFC to eat with them.Haha.. Wanted to eat Mc D too much. :p

Me, saying Cheese for my hubby :)

The first stop that we went was the Portuguese Settlement as they said they wanted to see the Christmas decoration.When we reached there,my hubby and Ben started to take out their huge cameras and started to take pictures everywhere.

Ben and Yian taking pictures but it looks like they were laughing more than taking pictures.Haha!

Kissing the glowing balls on the Xm@s tree!!

The street of the Portuguese Settlement was already lighted up with beautiful lights and most of the houses were decorated beautifully.We were all amazed at the creativity of the Portuguese people of decorating their houses.They were all so beautiful!!

The whole street was lighted up with beautiful and colourful lights.

The beautiful lights actually make the tree looks so beautiful and extraordinary.This tree is in front of a Portuguese family's house.

After finished taking pictures of the Portuguese Settlement,we decided to go to Jonker Street for a walk. Jonker Street looked so different from the last time I went there as most of the streets were decorated with red lights and the buildings actually looked very nice and romantic. It was already 11 something so most of the stalls were already closed. However, I still managed to buy a few things (two pairs of shoes, a shirt for Brandon and book marks). Well, I'm indeed a shopaholic. :)

The whole Jonker Street was decorated with red lights that made it looked very antique and romantic.

We decided to go back to the apartment (A Famosa) at 12 something as we were very exhausted. It took us nearly an hour to reach the apartment as we lost our ways and everyone was so exhausted when we reached.However, we were not allowed to rest when we reached there as we had to clean the apartment before we could sleep.So, we only got to sleep at 3 am.Phew..It was really tiring.

The next day we woke up at 10 am and got ready to go to Malacca town to have our chicken rice ball (Malacca's famous dish). Many people were already queuing up when we reached the restaurant.So,like all the other people we had to queue up under the hot sun too with our stomach growling hungrily. At last it was our turn to enjoy the meal.Yaay!! However, I felt that the meal was not that delicious actually :(

The chicken rice balls. Looked Yummy but not as nice as I thought.Disappointed!!

The chicken rice restaurant that is loacted on the Jonker Street but we didn't have our chicken rice meal here.Haha!! Maybe the chicken rice here is better than the one we had.

After finished eating our not so delicious meal, we decided to walk around Malacca town.

This is a stationary shop and I think that this shop is really very old.The signboard also looks very old.Malacca is indeed a historical place.

Not many places can see this kind of old building anymore.The building reminds me of how my hometown looked like many years ago.Sigh..

I had bought a Cheong Sam from a shop but not from this shop because the Cheong Sams from this shop were very expensive. The Cheong Sam that I bought was only RM70. A very good bargain.Hehe..

Taking pictures in front of Christ Church Melaka.Another ancient building.

Posing at the old church with Yian and Ben :)

My hubby was able to capture this fantastic picture of the vessel during the sunset.Good job Baby!! :)

I really had an enjoyable trip with all of them and hope that soon we will be able to go for another trip together.Now, I'm anticipating for the Genting trip with my secondary school's friends. :)
