MY PUTRAJAYA GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - INDUS BY THE PUTRAJAYA LAKE

Just some photos taken when I was there on the 9th November 2018.

It had already started drizzling when we arrived, hence the grey sky.

Watching the transition of Putrajaya sky - from day to night.

MY HOMETOWN GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - PARADIGM MALL REVISITED

When life got too stressful at workplace, what better way would it be to be sane again? Eat and get fatter. The regular group of friends who enjoyed eating (and chatting) met again and this time at Paradigm Mall. I am happy to announce that we managed to get other people to sign up for the club membership. 

First we went Korean at Dubuyo for a very late lunch. It was my second time at this restaurant and the first one was at a different venue in AEON Bandar Dato' Onn.

Then we decided to complement the Korean meal with cakes and coffee/tea/hot chocolate/Milo at Secret Recipe.

We were tempted by the aroma of the Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart which just taken out of the oven from the shop just next door so we bought home some too. Then only we felt complete and left the mall, feeling happy - very happy indeed.

Was this the last gathering of the year, I wonder?

MY PUTRAJAYA GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURE - EATING DINNER BY THE LAKE AT INDUS

9th NOVEMBER 2018 ~ After the hospital visit, Dr. Hayati Ismail was kind enough to play host and took us from the UPM TESL class of 1993 group to this exclusive restaurant by Putrajaya Lake for dinner.

There were not many people when we were there so we could just simply enjoy ourselves without having any worries of disturbing other people.

I had Malang Grilled Chicken with rice, and the was this Naraka Fried Rice which was very hot and spicy - we wondered if "Naraka" is actually "Neraka" in Malay, which means "hell".

You could also enjoy the view of Putrajaya at the other side of the lake after your meal.

I have more photos of this place in my camera which are not yet transferred to my PC. I will sure share them later.

A MINI REUNION AT KPJ KAJANG SPECIALIST HOSPITAL

9th NOVEMBER 2018 ~ I decided to pay Ms. Jashireen Mohd. Bashir, an old friend from UPM TESL class of 1993 group, a visit at KPJ Kajang Hospital. She had just undergone a surgery and I made myself free and day-traveled to Kuala Lumpur. 

At the same time, a few other friends whom I seldom meet in real life, had also come to meet the patient at the ward. (I had initially announced of my arrival in our Whatsapp group). The greatest relief when we found out that the other patient sharing the room with our friend had been discharged. It was important as we had the room all to ourselves and there was no need to control the volume of the noises produced.

BEFORE WE ENTERED THE WARD, a mini reunion had already taken place at the hospital lobby. There were actually ten of us there, and three ladies had already gone visiting like half an hour earlier. We still stayed there for a short while but the hospital ambience suddenly changed. When I first arrived, the place used to be quiet and peaceful.

We had to bid farewell to our friend, Miss Jashireen, and pray that she will recover real soon so that we could see her for our upcoming grand reunion hi-tea which will be held in December. She was so eager to attend the gathering and I do hope more people from the group will also be there.

MOVIE REVIEW - "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY"

This was the movie I had wanted to watch very badly, and today I finally went and it was worth the time and money. If you love watching good acting and good music, then you MUST go and watch this movie. It was like watching the real legendary Freddie Mercury and Queen's live concert. It was so good I am thinking of going to watch again. I am hoping this film will win many Oscars at the Academy Award.

This should be one BIG movie but then the cinema hall was quite empty, in contrary to those superhero movies. I could not even find a grand movie poster to pose with outside the cinema at TGV Bukit Indah. So sad....

I am glad Mr. Nazafee who accompanied me to the show enjoyed himself tremendously even though he is from a  generation of a different era.

I will need to find someone to write angklung music note for Bohemian Rhapsody.

SPOT THE ERROR 119

Found at a hotel counter in Melaka.

Can you spot the spelling error?
