A night in Aloft hotel @ Kl Sentral

Mr Chong and my dating anniversary falls on 18th March.
Because both of us are not the type of celebrating and gift giving of person, so we decided just to treat the day as a usual day.

And, a week before 18th March, Mr Chong received an invitation from his own company to have a night in Aloft Hotel (new hotel just beside KL Sentral which was constructed by Mr Chong's company), so we can give some feedback to the management team before it's grand opening. Then we were thinking why not just celebrate our anniversary with a night of sleep in this new hotel. Hehe!

Aloft KL Sentral is the sixth hotel brand in Malaysia under the Starwood group. Hmm... Le Meridien, Westin, Four Points and Sheraton are also under Starwood. So, we expected this will be a grand and nice hotel to stay in.

You can always check hotels under Starwood here : http://www.starwoodhotels.com

ALoft KL Sentral, where their concept is all about modern and vibrant, stylist and savvy, 

at an affordable price.

 4 days to go for grand opening on our checked in day.

The reception and check-in counter. 

Very different with other hotels check-in counter. 

 The Lobby

The Lifts

 The coffee area.

The computers and internet area.

All are MAC.

The cafe area. I was late for my breakfast on the next morning. 

Hence, don't have any photo of the breakfast buffet they offer.

The pool table. 

(There were a fashion event on that day, so lobby was crowded with a lot "atas" people. If not, i would have played few games before headed to my room.)

The corridor.

 The bed in the room. 

Mattress was just nice to sleep, that's why i overslept and missed my breakfast. XD

 The view from window of the room.

Washroom. Big and trendy. 

Love the big mirror. I wish i can have one like this when my new house is ready.

Photo of Mr Chong and me in front of the hotel. Cheesse!!

We went KL Sentral to have our dinner after that. Had dinner at a Malay restaurant. The meal was sucks to the max and not worth for me to mention here. Damn sad because my anniversary dinner just ruined like this.

Due to the suck meal we had, i bought some cakes from coffee bean to console my little taste buds so i can still feel sweet sweet and happy happy before i get into my bed. They were so so, nonetheless. 

Anyway, still better than nothing.

That's all for our anniversary in 2013. Looking forward for next year anniversary because i have booked 2 tickets to BANGKOK!!! 

Wuuhoo!! Can't wait to shop till pok!!!!

爱国

我爱我的国家，
因为有国才有家。

我们华人，常被说政治冷感，不爱国。
每天就想赚更多的钱。

对，如果这个国家政府是好的，
我们当然就会对政治冷感。
毕竟赚钱的时间都不够了，还要去管政治？
睬你都傻啦！

可是，近这1-2年来，我fb上有70%的人都是在share关于我国政治方面的资讯。
为什么呢？这是蝴蝶效应。
因为我们越来越不满了现在的执政党。我们越看越不过眼了。


看着那鸡一直强调的“一个大马”。
看着那鸡一直宣导的“rakyat didahulukan"
看着那鸡一直拿人民的钱派钱给人民，又叫人民一定要报恩。
看到南北大道那些诬蔑事实的广告牌，
看到youtube上不懂花了多少钱的be end大选宣传广告。
看到一个民主国家用不民主的举动来对付人民，剥夺人民集会的权利，更把真相扭曲，好人变坏人，坏人却变好人。


我真的真的很气很气。也很懊恼。
为什么这个政府这样的？为什么事实摆在眼前还可以扭曲它？为什么可以这样不顾人民的请愿？这就是以民为本吗？？？

可是，这些都不要紧。
我还可以忍。毕竟这些都是政治游戏。
最不能忍的是，原来还是有很多人出于本身利益，而还在盲目支持这已经腐败的政府。
真的，钱不是所有。
我们真的要衡量什么是比较重要的。
这个政府真的不能为我们国家做出什么贡献了。如果在支持这腐败的政府，你现在所赚来的钱，可能10年后，就可能变成香蕉钱。因为那时我们可能就已经变成破产国了。再多的钱，也没有用。

还有，难道你们不怕lynas吗？
如果你觉得它是安全的，那，我真的觉得你很脑残。
辐射这种东西，即使是101%安全，它还是不安全的。
看看日本就知道。
难道你想你以后的后代变成ET吗？

真的，别为了眼前的利益，而破坏了这个美好的国家！
当然，反对党也不是100%完美的。
可是，它是我们唯一不变更糟，可以变更好的希望。
我爱马来西亚。
所以，五月五，我会投票！
我要换政府！！！！

Road not taken

做了一个很难得决定。

金钱和学习经验，

我选择了学习经验。

决定换工了。

再也没有flexible 的工作时间。

再也没有睡到饱才去上班的日子。

再也没有“今天没心情，明天再做”的日子。

再也没有car allowance, hp allowance, internet allowance。

也再也没有incentive可以拿了。

签了offer letter后，开始有点害怕。

是我太急了吗？

可是，想想，我已不年轻。

再不换，可能就没有机会了。

祈望我想要得，不会那么难得到。

祈望我的career plan可以顺顺利利。

毕竟这份工对我以后会有帮助。

也希望我希望做到的东西可以做到。

天公叫我要守，不要换工。

对不起天公。我想试试。

妈妈我忍多一年，不要换工。

对不起妈妈。我想博一博。

真的希望，一切顺利。

我已经准备好会有最不好的事发生了。

希望，我的准备不会被用到。

Late brunch @ S.Wine

Got pork Got pork.

As a chinese, I love to eat pork, for example, Bak Kut Teh la, Xiu Yok, Char Siew and, of course BACON!!!!!
So, whenever I know there is a restaurant serve good pork, I will try to pay it a visit.

S.Wine, one of the restaurant of The Big Group.
Fyi, Ben's Independent Grocer, Plan B, T forty two, Botanical are all under this group.
I read an interview with the founder, Benjamin Yong.
He actually was the founder of Delicious too!

Okay, back to S.Wine.
As you can tell by its name, S.wine is all about pork, pork and pork!!

And, where is it located???

S.Wine is actually nestled in a far corner of Ben's Independent Grocer (B.I.G).
You really need to look carefully at the sideboard in B.I.G because you will never expect the actual location of it.
If you still scare unable to locate this restaurant, please find out the alcohol section in B.I.G, then you will get to the entrance of the restaurant.

S.Wine is always packs with customer on the weekend. (Not sure about weekdays)
During our visit, Mr Chong and I were waiting for about half an hour.
Never mind, as long as the food is really good, both of us will feel worth it.

 The large menu, just infront of the door entrance.

So, you can actually study the menu first while waiting for the seat. :p

 Again, pattern dang dang face.

 Mr Chong ordered "The English Fly Up" (RM39)

Hmm.. he told me that he wanted to have the fly up feel. However, a bit disappointment. This breakfast set was not as good as we expected. At last, Mr Chong still prefer Antipodean Big Breakfast. He told me that the Big Breakfast is still unbeatable !!

I ordered this "French Toast with Grilled Bananas" (RM19).

I saw a blogger recommended this dish, and because i love banana, so i decided to give this a try.

I rated this 6.5 out of 10, and 5 points was given to the bacons and 1.5 points was given to the bananas. Bacons were really good, and the 1.5 points for bananas is just because i love banana. Hehehe....

By the way, sorry for the awkward angle of this photo.

As conclusion, I still think Antipodean still unbeatable for their breakfast.
Anyway, I will give S.wine another try for their pork dishes since i haven't try them at all.
So, looking forward on it!
