Full : Dinner @ Max Gourmet

Finally my exam has ended!
Another semester down, 3 more before I can wear the mortar board on my head.
To sum this semester up, it was short but as usual, I'm not satisfied with the quality of the education here.
Just not satisfied la.

So in the middle of the exam weeks, I decided to go back to my favourite island to get some family love before I continue to revise my butt off.
It was really worth it because my mom and sis decided to eat out!
FYI, my family seldom eat out or do any family thing so it was quite an exciting moment for me to be able to spend time with my loved ones besides at home.

With my beloved Mummy!


And my sweet sis! :)

Sis suggested us to go to Max Gourmet which is located at the top floor of Old Wing, Gurney Plaza.
Honestly, I never knew it existed!
Maybe because it's been really long since I came here or maybe I just didn't notice it.
Max Gourmet is quite a new restaurant though..it's situated right opposite GSC.

Since I'm not a food blogger (almost typed bood blooger, tongue twister eh?), so we didn't exactly order much variety.
Here's what we had for dinner:

Menu pic!

Some Ribena-taste drink with lemon slice.

I ordered "Hiong Ha Lou" Fried Rice.

Being a non-Cantonese speaker (but I can understand TVB Cantonese, HAHHA) and an English educated girl, I had no idea what "Hiong Ha Lou" means until when it came, I realised it meant 'Village Men'.
Probably means the traditional or old way of making the fried rice.

Part of the interior.

I wanted to take more pics of the restaurant but I hesitated because there were so many people on a Tuesday night!
I was wondering why did those people crowd at Gurney and of all places Max Gourmet at 9pm??
Yea, we were kinda late for dinner but yet there were so many customers. =.=

And this, my fellow readers, is the BEST CHAR HOR FUN I've EVER tasted in life so far!
It's not your ordinary hawker stall Char Hor Fun (obviously)!
Max Gourmet's Char Hor Fun comes with fish fillets! And I must say they're pretty generous with it.
It's a little diluted though, wished it was thicker.
But the gravy was kinda special in my opinion. Definitely recommended-2 thumbs up! (as written in the menu)

Gonna come back here for its hor fun! :)

Yau Char Kwai coated/wrapped with Chee Cheong Fun.
I tell ya, I never liked Yau Char Kwai before. Like NEVER.
But this, THIS Yau Char Kwai is a must try!!

But horrrr, the gravy is the same as the Char Hor Fun's. Probably that's why I like it. Haha.
1.5 thumbs up! Erm...

As for dessert, we tried the Honey Dew + Ice Cream + jellies +syrup + what not,

Can't remember what it's called. Quite nice. Not very outstanding though.

All in all, the prices there are pretty reasonable. Ranging from Rm 5.90 (main dish, such as the Char Hor Fun) to probably RM20 or so?
Of course, I'm not asking you to trust me completely because I can barely remember.
But if a student like me who's always on a tight budget says "I'll be back again", you can definitely trust me a little more. :)

Here's how it looks like. Taken when we left the restaurant about 10pm.
Look at the number of customers there. I think they close at 10pm. :O

Special thanks to sis for the treat! :D


Go try it!

Another One Down

Another paper done!
Now I'm left with two papers, on the 16th and 20th of this month, respectively.
Okie before I start this post, I would like to set some things straight.

First, if you wanna read my blog and judge me, just do it.
I have the rights to stop you from reading my blog but I won't do it because I'm a Nuffnanger.
And all Nuffnangers want to earn $.

Secondly, I did not personally invite you to read my blog or even if I did, and you still wanna judge me, just leave and don't come back.
I don't really bother if I have one less reader (you know who you are) LIKE YOU.
And why wanna hurt your eyes by reading a blog authored by someone you dislike, right??
But still, your visit means a lot to me because it'll only mean at least a wee bit of increment in my Nuffnang account. :D

Third, before you judge others, heed my advice and look in the reflection of your mirror.

And fourth, not everyone is as low as you.
Everyone pursues for different things in life which also means, we are all different.

So to xxxx, get a life.

Okie done with my 'introduction', now gonna talk about....hmmm...let's see..

I have nothing to talk about!

Life has being really boring and interesting in some ways. Haha.
But those ways don't include pics which explains why my recent blog entries have been using old pics.
I think after so much of blog hopping, I feel that blog entries with pics can really make the readers feel interested and they can relate more to the blog author.
That's what I think, at least.

Anyway, if you notice on my blog list, someone who has not being updating his blog for quite some time has finally come up with so many recent entries!
Do support him and drop some comments if you like!

I'm off for now!
Anticipating the month of December! (or 29th of Nov) Hehe.

Imma Torture Myself

So, I had my mechanics paper today.
Whenever it comes to mechanics, it's gonna be a hell for me because I was never good with numbers.
Today is no exceptional.
I think I flunked the easiest mechanics paper on earth.
Read that right.

I don't know why but I have A LOT OF FEAR for numbers in mechanics form.
I've been doing mechanics since I was in 1st year and now that it's been 2 years, I can still 'do so well' in it.
I feel so useless and down now.

It was freaking easy OKIE!
I don't know why I had to be so stupid.
I feel so damn stupid right now that I want to torture myself with instant noodles.
And look how Baby replied my status.


I'm gonna do it.

No xoxo for this post because I feel really like a dumbass.
No need to asterisk it la it's not vulgar also.
HAHAHAHAAH.

Great..the evil side of me prevailed.

It's NOVEMBERRRRR!

It's 1st of November already.
In just a blink of an eye, the year is about to end in 2months' time.
This year, I haven't been proud of myself because of the things I did.
Somehow, I just wished I could be a better person.
Nevertheless, I believe it all happened for a reason.

My first paper which is Engineering English is on the 3rd of November.
I have no idea what I am doing here but I just feel the need to update my blog, the place where I can pour my feelings onto.
As usual, it's the study week and everyday has been quite a routine to me.

Wake up at 8.30am (depending on what time I sleep the night before, as long as I get my 8 hours of beauty sleep), wash up and eat breakfast.
Lunch time, grab some unhealthy (because there's not much choice of healthy food) meal from the cafeteria and stare at my notes again.
Bathe, surf, study, nap then it's dinner time.
Right before dinner time, I'll have my daily chat with Babe which will then continue until about 10pm when I'll force him to sleep. Haha.
At 12midnight, my brain system will automatically shut down and it's time for me to rest my so-long-never-do-any-exercise body.




Many wonder how I can chat till so long with him.
Frankly, there's nothing much to tell in a day's time which is already a routine like I mentioned, but if you were in my shoe, you'll know it's more than just chatting/talking.
It's the virtual presence that is taken into account, the kind of indescribable feeling you need in you especially at times when you're continents apart.



On a happier note, I have my holidays planned!
Now, isn't that something worth looking forward to after exams??
I guess I sound quite pathetic to be jumping from one end of a feeling to another.
But sometimes, you just gotta motivate yourself because no one out there is able to look out for you but yourself.
Hopefully, this coming holiday will bring out the best in us! :D

Okie now that I've broken my net surfing curfew again, I've gotta do some redemption now.

ps: All the best in your exams my friends! We are all in this together! (quote from HSM)

Concentration Level

My concentration graph shape is definitely not bell shape.
It's going down hill from the time I woke up till the time I hit the sack.




This is really really bad.
I even have time to make use of the paint application.
How interesting.
