....for things that make us happy =)

okay i'm feeling so exhausted after whole day being out.
but the pictures we took today... really make me got semangat to blog about~


we didn't plan much for today. just art gallery and romantic dinner.
why? cuz we totally Overestimated the time for art gallery.
only spent around 45 minutes there, at most. but our actual estimation? 3-4 hours! lol.
imagine the huge gap in our schedule =.=


starting with lunch.
went to bangsar area, which was on the way to brickfields, where the gallery is.
driving around bangsar, we suddenly realised that theres no makan place there that fits into our minuscule (and i really mean it when i say it..) budget.
expensive place! and also... very got feel punye place...
buuutt too expensive for us today! being realistic, we terus left to brickfields.


spotted this crowded chinese restaurant, Hing Kee Sin Kee
(sorry wrong spelling previously, as corrected by michi.. haha)

well.. as much as i don't want to admit, i have a very very unbelievably poor memory when it comes to names (chinese names worse) and faces.
can u imagine how embarrassing it is to always forget people u've just met?
Very... haha.. i guess my friends know best XD




been here few times, 'big fry' aka dai chao here is not bad.
but due to limited budget today, we could only order this : individual rice dish, and 1 side order. sad right.. hahha... so much to being broke.
we were saying, never had we been in this kinda sadddd situation before, having Limited Budget to Enjoy. and also.. never had we been so excited for the 1st of the new month to come. Lol.
bad bad mentality.


anyway the food was kinda dissapointing.
food here is rather expensive, about rm15 per dish. ex for normal dai chao right?
well.. don't be deceived by the pictures we took.
i can only say that the food looks better in the pictures, as it always does.. haha..



indian temple at brickfields.
was taking pictures together with some guy with chunted dslr, somemore using all his ga chang.
haha... but nvm.. no need to be jealous. i've got my L.

for now, dah contented =)



honestly... i wonder who would stay at this kinda place..
for taking pictures, yes la.. got feel..
but staying in there... kinda creepy don't u think so?


man i love these old buildings.. really nice nice.. got feellllll~
reminds me of malacca.. miss that place..want to go there soon for makan + photography trip, againnnnn...


wei ling gallery. a gallery we found on the net.
the map given is good. found the place easily =)


even the door also.. got feel...
hahaa... im so gonna repeat this two words over and over again throughout this post
can't really find any other word to replace this.. so pardon me for my limited vocabulary =.=


the chinese guarding lion at the entrance.


the art exhibition is titled Reality in Wonderland,
by this local artist Chin Kong Yee.
honestly, i find his work rather impressive.
very much like the title itself, his work does give me that feeling:
searching for a touch of magic in the real world, vice versa..

our fav: the eiffel, duomo florence, nice.
the paintings felt very much different when i saw them in the gallery.
just by looking at photos of the art, you can't really appreciate the whole thing,
you can't tell if you like it or not, if its good or not,
its just not the same. have to be there to feel it.


can only say: really worth the visit.
too bad we can't own them.. haha
and a real pity that we didn't go to jansen's exhibition last time.
what a waste.
nevermind la. next time =)


wasn't supposed to take pictures here, didn't know that...
but anyway i managed to get some before being discovered.
haha.. this place really.. the two words again... got feel!


they even got some awards on the architecture.
apparently they revamped this place, which was an abandoned building, into this gallery.
the interior is mostly old-ish wood
(sorry michi, my AR vocab not good! duno how to describe >.< )
with just the right amount of light + sunlight
which made the place all comfy and cozy... feels like home.
something like the Loft that dan stays in
(from gossip girl. for those who have no idea what im saying)

nice place to just.. chill out? hmm.. sounds weird.
we even talked about how good if could stay in a place like this, having as our own. imagine that.
yea in our dreams.
no la, we will, some day in the future, just not now
for now, better stay real. haha
anywayz...to our near Future loft + studio apartment =D


after artistic time together, we decided to have some sweet stuff for makan.
went to dessert bar @ tropicana area for evening tea. haha..
really know how to enjoy hor.. with limited budget somemore..
as said by michi: we look like total spoilt brats, especially with our pretty dresses on!

ordered our fav, banana chocolate smoothie. haha...
didn't even needed to think, ordered straightaway.


macha + hazelnut icecream. nice lor~
except for the waffle.. kinda miserable for how good the icecream is, tasted like paper
sorry but tak match at all.. =.=

found new place to on9, got free wifi, power plug, nice atmosphere also =)


went to kepong earlier to avoid rush hour jam.
reach there.. too early...
sky was too bright to have candlelight dinner
haha...


went to the park @ desapark city for jalan-jalan + taking photos. =)


awww.... the dogs are just so soooo cuutttteee!
pretty dogs make people happy, don't they? =D


fishes.. my kawan's underwater friends =.=


random tree with weird patterns on it.


golden retriever. so pretty.. argh jealous nya.. i also wannttt~ >.<


sun going down.
didn't realise time passing while busy stalking cute dogs and babies (oh man we do sound scary..haha )


and the colourful leaves that caught my eye =)



after leaving the park, drove to our dinner place. then realised..
the sky is still tooooo bright. no feel.
lol.. so we went to this macau cafe for drink, waiting for the night to come. haha...
too much spare time today..
really unbelievable for people like us who complain that much about not having enough of it.

the house special coffee here is kinda good.
really special cuz it tastes like oat + coffee...
weird but nice.


so finally the sky was dark enough for us to go makan with feel. haha...
told my michi mochi (ps: it rhymes) about this place few days ago.
discovered this place when driving by. nice place for dinner~
specialty here: fortune cookie

just like the ones in the lindsay lohan movie freaky friday..
break the cookie, and there's this piece of paper inside, telling your fortune..
haha.. some chinese tradition thingy...
well dont take it too seriously.. cuz the last time i tried..
our whole table of 6 got the SAME fortune paper thing.
people who learn maths.. by probability.. go figure la..

oh yea.. cookies are given free =)



haha.. what is this?
story started with the butter given.
it wasnt like the plastic tub-like ordinary butter, but it was like in some weird ketchuppacket-form.
so i decided to do some art with it.
the words look kinda cacated cuz there wasn't enough butter at the end =.=
yea its written m2m. not the two girls singing that song pretty boy.
michi and miko. Hence, m2m...
38 right.. i also think so.. michi's suggestion, not mine. hahhaa


did i forget to mention we just loooovee seafood?


its thursday night, yet the place is full with people.
why? good food. good ambience. reasonable price.
well just a little far for pj/kl-sians.

We labelled today as very productive. haha..
planned nothing much, but at the end of the day, realised that we actually did quite a lot la =)
okay.. that's enough for today. super tired and my eyes are hurting.
hope that i do update soon. yes i do know that my last update was on april, which is like yea 3months ago.. but i'll try.
so... till then. jaa =)
