I see my boyfriend practically everyday.He lives with his family but since I'm quite close to them,I'm always there after work either hanging out with him or babysitting his adorable niece,Qarla,who's there on weekdays.
But sometimes we need a proper date out.Having dinner outside and going out once in awhile.Recently we went out a few times.Went to PJ's Digital Mall because we were looking for new speakers for his pc since his previous one,Altec Lansing's Octane 7, which I gifted to him early last year,went kaput due to lightning strike at his house.It ruined the graphic card of his pc too.
There's an interesting story on how I got him the speakers.I went to Low Yatt with my friend Aimi and I parked my car at Pavilion.So we walked to Low Yatt..I didn't know how big the speakers was gonna be.I bought it as a surprise for Razin and thus had to carry the huge box from Low Yatt to Pavilion while I was wearing a dress,walking with my friend hahaha I got a few weird looks that day.
 |
| Only at Jaya One! |
Anyway back to present day,we went to Digital Mall twice that night(went back there after dinner)because Razin couldn't decide between what new speakers he should get for himself.We had dinner(it was breaking my fast for me because I was fasting for my puasa ganti)at Jaya One's Sushi King,which had a buy one free one promo every Tuesday and Friday.None other Sushi King outlets have this kind of promo going on.
 |
| New pretty menus! |
We haven't been to Sushi King in only a few weeks I think..and when we came that night,was surprised to see new menus.I like how Sushi King is constantly trying to reinvent themselves.We ordered two of the new items from the menu.Razin ordered the ponzu chicken something..I think hahah(pictured below,the one which the raw egg..you have to cook it on the plate.).I ordered the new seaweed salad because I love seaweed!It was all tasty.
 |
| Yummy food! |
 |
| Fresh salmon |
I also tried raw salmon belly for the first time.It was so good.Soft and buttery.The sushi is on the right in the picture above.
 |
| The aftermath! |
It was my first meal of the day because I was fasting the whole day.Look at our dishes above.hahaha.Razin is my fave makan partner ever!:P Picture of him below happily installing his new speakers.
 |
| My happy man with his new speakers! |
The next day was a whole day out for us.We watched two movies back to back..with a little gap for a quick dinner.Watched Now You See Me and also The Great Gatsby.Picture below of us making funny faces while we were on our way to OU.
 |
| My silly guy! |
We normally don't watch movie at TGV as Razin always prefer GSC cinemas..but since we were buying the tickets like 4 days before and only TGV ones were available online,had to end up with it.We never buy the normal seats.It always has to be couple seats.We like to be close and also the seats are roomier.
 |
| Movie marathon & always couple seats. |
Eventhough we always watch movie at GSC(at One Utama),we will actually go to TGV to buy their popcorn Royale.Because it's the only popcorn that I like to eat while watching a movie.Razin and I have done this so many times.hahaha
 |
| Popcorn royale duo crunch! |
That particular Saturday afternoon,unfortunately the popcorn Royale wasn't ready yet by them we reach the counter after queuing up for almost 15 minutes.But thankfully the guy at the concession stand was so nice that he took one of the popcorn container and went to the kitchen to get me one.So it was buttery hot from the oven.It was a new kind of popcorn as well..the duo crunch!They mixed cornflakes into it.
After we finish watching Now You See Me--which I loved by the way and had a twist that even Razin didn't expect!--we had our late lunch and early dinner at Fish and Co.Our fave spot for fish and chips.They make excellent food..trust me on this!They had a new menu and there were a lot of new items as well.
 |
| Pretty menu! |
 |
| Appetizer:Crispy white bait--so yummy! |
 |
| Side of coleslaw |
 |
Appetizer platter--my dish & I lovee both dips!
I actually finish the squid too! |
 |
| My pineapple juice and Razin's lychee mojito |
 |
Our spread--on the left is Razin's dish--swiss cheese fish&chips!
Our bill was only rm65..that's cheap! |
I haven't eaten at Fish and Co for a few months now and I was glad that the quality of food was still so good!My mouth waters when I think about the dishes again.hahaha
I enjoyed watching The Great Gatsby and so did he.Though Now You See Me was better.I would probably watch the movie again just to see the scene between Leonardo,Tobey and Carey Mulligan,when she came over for tea..so many white orchids and pretty desserts!
After the movie we walked around and had a few scoops of Hokkaido ice cream.Corn and japanese potato.Delicious!

Ice cream!

Managed to go to Candylicious as well which I haven't been in a long time.Bought the candies in the picture above!:)
It's June already!And this month I'll be turning 26..yikesss!haha..Anyway,as usual,I like to blog with pictures on them so here are some bits and pieces from May.I have a few posts in draft mode so yeayyy!!
It means that I'll be blogging a little more frequently..I usually don't have the time to blog extensively or I don't know what to blog about.If you guys have any idea on what you would like me to blog about,do drop a comment in this post :)
May purchases
Among the other things that I bought in May in my previous posts,these are the remaining few.I bought a few things on Urbanoufitters as well but they're not here yet as the boyfriend's brother will bring it back from OZ.Can't wait for them!
I wear stud earrings everyday.But the moment I saw this pair of dangling earrings,I had to have them.I love the color and mint green/seafoam is my current fave color.I have quite a number of dresses in said color now :P
I love colors and prints.Got this pretty pastel candy colored cardigan(top) and a floral kimono cardigan.Whenever I buy an outfit,I'll think about how it will look like with the other stuffs that I have in my closet.For example,I paired the candy colored cardigan with a simple lilac maxi from The Poplook to work(below):
 |
| Easy breezy outfit! |
 |
| Grey with a hint of neon |
I saw this pair of wedges at Forever 21 and after a week of contemplating and trying it on a few times..I finally got it.I love how it was very comfortable.Hopefully I'll wear it often haha
 |
| Bought the hardcover at Borders! |
If you read my previous posts under the tag BOOKS,you would have found two blogposts on Khaled Hosseini's books.The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.After 6 years of not coming out with a new book,he came out with And The Mountains Echoed.I've only read a few pages but I'll definitely write a review on it soon.
 |
| Macaron mat |
I've never attempt in baking macarons ever.The boyfriend bought me this mat online via one of those voucher website when I saw it one day.I haven't used it yet but hopefully I will soon!
Food!!
 |
| Fluffy mango cheesecake |
As all of you know,Komugi is one of my fave bakery at the moment.I go there every week because it's near my office.One rare occasion they sold this mango cheesecake.Their cake selection varies and I managed to get the last piece!It was fluffy and so good.
 |
| Garden spritzer |
Let's face it..the food at Ben's isn't good.I've seen complaints about the establishment from my boyfriend's sister and many more.But there was this one drink that I had there which was called the Garden Spritzer..a combination of peach puree,lemon juice,soda water and sprigs of thyme.
Ever since I tasted it almost 2 years ago,I like to make it from time to time.I made it for breaking my fast with his family 2 weeks ago.It was refreshing.I don't make it so often because you need a lot of peaches to make the puree and peaches ain't cheap here!haha
 |
| I love fresh cherries! |
I love eating fresh fruits whenever I can.Got myself a bunch of fresh lychees and cherries which are not available at our supermarkets.Did you know that fresh cherries is a natural sleep inducer?I always eat them at night to help me sleep better and earlier.:P
 |
| Roti jala with chicken curry |
Being Malaysians,we are blessed with the abundance of good food.Especially our own Malay dishes.The pic on top is of roti jala with chicken curry made by the boyfriend's mother.It was so good!I don't like curry unless it's to eat with roti jala.haha
 |
| Mama's dishes! |
My mama doesn't really like to cook as much as I do but when she does cook,it is always so good.one of my fave dishes from her is a stuffed fish or called 'ikan belah belakang/ikan jaket'.My late grandmother would always make it for me when I stayed at her house and I can eat for lunch and dinner.Mama cooked it for me along with sambal petai tumis udang(I love petai/stinkbeans!) and sayur kangkung(water convovulus/water spinach).
 |
| Putu bambu |
Malaysia also has the weekly night market.I love going there with the boyfriend once in awhile to get our fave foods like popiah goreng and putu bambu(pictured above).Putu bambu is a kind of dessert made from rice flour,gula melaka and coconut.
Trying to eat healthy is easier said than done.This is due to the fact that fresh produce aren't that cheap here.Plus,Malaysians tend to eat out more than cook at home.I love to cook but I don't get to do it so often.Maybe a few times in a month at best.Thus,trying to find a healthier and tasty option outside,that isn't expensive can be quite a pickle sometimes too.
 |
| Groceries! |
I've been trying to eat healthier.Eliminating fast food..slowly.I've to admit that I only lost like 3kgs within 2 months which is actually little to me. And that is with a few exercises in a week(pilates/Jillian Micheals yoga meltdown/brisk walking).I've lost a lot more in previous years.This is due to the fact that I eat fast food once a week and sometimes I gotta admit,twice a week.Because fast food is quick and it saves time.
 |
| Made this smoked turkey breast wrap |
But excuses are just that,excuses.If you want to have better health,you gotta make better choices in terms of what you put into your mouth which is a constant struggle everyday especially with the abundance of deliciously sinful food being sold everywhere.Exercise too but let's face it,when you finish work,all you want to do is eat and then sleep.

Greek yogurt with stewed strawberries
(no sugar only lemon juice+ maple syrup) |
I'm trying to follow the simple healthy rules that I used to do years back--for example:Cut out sugary drinks(gong cha/iced tea etc),don't eat late at night,drink a lot of water,eat more fruits and vegetable.I hope that I'm slowly getting back on a healthier track.Gotta work on my fitness though.That I'm still lazy with.hahaha.
