:: Elaine Farewell Part II @ Water Lily ::

Posted by ~Elaine Tam~ at 9:12 PM 17 comments Links to this post
As self-described in the title, it's my 2nd farewell before I officially leave Spansion as Spansioner in 2 days time! WTF!! That was so so fffffff fast!!

After the 1st group celebration at Tony Roma last week, Hui Juin, Siew Ping and Kah Wai throw me another farewell dinner. This time, Kah Wai suggested to drop by "Water Lily", which is located at Pusat Perdagangan IOI Mall, Puchong. Based on some quick survey on net, Water Lily is Bali-styled restaurant which serves extra big portion of meal, which attracted me the most because I simply like see alot of foods on my plate (regardless whether I can finish them or not LOL!!!)

Spansioners ( Hui Juin, Siew Ping and I) checkout from the company at 530pm and reach destination at 6pm sharp to meet ex-spansioner (Kah Wai) who estimated to reach before 7pm. But since all of us reached as early as 6pm, 1 hour away from 7pm, we decided not to wait for the guy and proceed to order without him. WTF! we are so bad isn't? Hehehehe!

Before ordering, let's camwhore with the tools we found at Water Lily, as usual including the table, the spoon, the fork, the menu, the candle and etc etc. I'm so "camwhore" type of people is it? Yes, I admit! And too bad I need to drag them along for the camwhoring process!





The menu - Presenting Water Lily



Let's take some photo before the sky turns dark! Hui Juin and I..


Wong Siew Ping and I.. She's my 2nd best friend in Spansion, mainly because she's Hui Juin's BOSS! HAHAHAH!


Them with Water Lily signature board! NASI LEMAK, LEMON GRASS BBQ and Ice BLENDED!


The candlelight..errrmmmm...Not yet being lighten!


Me with the candle after I REQUESTED them to lighten it for me to camwhore with!


The giant menu


Nothing much to do while waiting, shoot the cutlery

Ok, it's time to show what we ordered and how big is the big meal is! There are not many choices on the menu (I think with 50# on the list which consists of starters, main courses, drinks, desserts) which I think far lesser than other similar-type of restaurant.

After 15 minutes of flipping and asking [Eh eh, you order what ah?? what you order ah? I don't know what to order la!!], we have made up our mind as below!

Siew Ping with her mushroom sop with garlic bread, Chicken Fillet Sandwich and Green Tea! The mushroom soup was delicious! Super delicious proven that the chef is not using can Campbells' Mushroom soup. Her sandwich also comes in super duper big size-chicken fillet. We've counted and it consist of 3 pieces of chicken fillets serve with french-fries and thick yummy gavy. One word, Good!


She looks happy with the mushroom soup!


The GREAT mushroom soup! And the garlic bread! Looks tempting right!


I wonder why they serve green tea with peanut cookies~


Her main course~

And now it's Hui Juin's turn to introduce her menu for the day. She ordered BBQ 1/4 chicken as main course which I think @ RM14. The chicken was serve together with sweet BBQ potato, grvy and coleslaw. The chicken thigh was BIGGGGGGGGGGG too, just like my thigh. LOL! *yes, I had a big thigh, see the picture below for better illustration*

As for drink, she ordered the cendol which also in XL size. *fainted* But according to her, don't be cheated by its look because it taste so SWEET! I guess extra sugar too since all the size here also extra one.


Hui Juin and her watermelon.....I mean the main course water melon LOL~



The extra sweet candol drink [She asked : Cendol got red bean one?] Anyone know?


The sweet potato and "my thigh" ...oossssppppppss..Chicken Thigh!

It's my turn to show you my extra BIG nasi lemak's thatI've ever had for the rest of my life. Jeng Jeng Jeng......... I've ordered the Nasi Lemak with Chicken Thigh @ RM15. The nasi lemak comes with a BIGGGG CHICKEN THIGH which was serve with "ikan bilis" and some "vegetable acar". It takes me 1 hours to finish the big size nasi lemak. Phewwwwww!! And guess what, I can finish all at last, after resting and continue to eat again for at least 2~3 rounds! WTF!

I've order waterLily Special Fruit Blended Juice (WTF! Fruit juice ma can lor! Why put such a long name!). I choose Honey Dew flavor, but they added somekind of menthol (not light bulb menthol =_=) which makes the drink taste SUCKS... =_=" Ok, but I still manage to finish it.

But overall, one word BIG!!! All the dishes really comes in big portion which worth for the money we paid!


My pose with my meal


Yummyyyyyyyy Nasi Lemak! The rice taste great too!

And my sucks Menthol taste drink~

Opsssss...almost forgotten about the arrival of our VVVVVVIP, Mr Kong Kah Wai at 7pm after we almost finished all of our dishes. LOL! And leave him alone to order his favourite nasi lemak with lamb chop! This is the 1st time I'm seeing nasi lemak to be serve with lamb chop. If not mistaken this nasi lemak cost him @ RM22. But considering the size of the lamb, worth to pay for it!


Kong Kah Wai with "breast-showing" pose. I know u got a big cheat ok! No need to show~


Her mango ice-blended drink


And can you see the extra big size lamb chop??? It's reallllllllllllllllllly big!

Lastly, group photo taking for 4 of us. Unfortunately, my camera almost dying of battery by the time we want to take the last photo. We can only take the photo without FLASH, and that's why the group photo looks so blur and dim! Anyway, thanks guys for the dinner, had a great night and dying to meet again soon!



Cheerssssss~ Luv and mis you guys! Thanks for everything!

:: Donna The Dolly ::

Posted by ~Elaine Tam~ at 12:59 PM 18 comments Links to this post
At last, I got the golden chances to meet Donna aka Dolly in real life! My relationship with her started quite long ago (like pakto pulak), but we yet to have chance to meet each other. usually, we talk through email, we chat through IM, we chat through blog but not in real life leh!

She is a friend of my friend, who also a blogger who follows my blog like religion WTF! Nola, we are friends cum bloggers so we are blogger friends'. LOL! Quite confusing? Let's start from the beginning.

Donna is ex-coursemate of Hui Juin, also ex-roommate for Hui Juin, also a close-friend of Hui Juin who a close friend of mine, also Nuffnanger, also a blogger like me. So conclusion, we knew each other through blog and Hui Juin. *confuse confuse* Whatever la, we meet each other last weekend when she came down to KL for business trip. Her company sent her for a training at KL staying at Park Royal hotel!

Below are the information about her that I know since the 1st day I heard of Donna/Dolly. Ok, nothingmuch differences as to compare to her in actual!
  1. Her name is Donna, also Dolly
  2. She is vegetarian (sometime yes sometime no) Opsss..hopefully her mom not reading her blog! LOL!
  3. She has a boyfriend name Tobby, who likes to wear sleeveless shirt HAHAHAHAH! She claimed he likes to show his armpit hair, that's why!
  4. Her hometown is at Sabah, and people always thought she origin from hutan (neh! Those orang asli who staying on top of the tree)
  5. She is working at Johor, and I always mistakenly thought she's from Melaka! I got short term memory loss sometime.
  6. She is damn damn damn super duper fair! Yes, proven she is very fair after seeing her in real life! As compare to her, mine is like the color of the bottom of the "kuali" WTF!
  7. She is damn funny, in writing post! She always manage to write post, ended with all the bloggers dropping nothing but "HAHAHAHHAHAHA" comments.

I know you must be wondering who is she, how she looks like, and can't wait to see the SHOW WHITE huh! Are you ready?


Hui Juin, Elaine and Donna.

Hui Juin, Meng Lian and I decided to look for here after she ends her training at KL, and continue the night with our makan-makan session. Our plan totally went out of place as we plan to get some Cone-Pizza at Wangsa Maju and Mille Crepe at PJ.

Only God knows why the traffic was so bad that night, and we only can reach Kl at 9pm! WTF! Yes, 9pm, and I don't think we can go anywhere far with few hours on hand~

We decided to drop by nearby hawker stalls and order Yong Tau Fu (no photos because we ate it all by the time I took out my camera LOL!! We are FFF hungry leh!), and ordered Kuey Teow and Wan Tan Mee.


Hui Juin, Meng Liang with the "chopstick".


The wan tan....With some kind of LONGKANG smell..WTF!


The 1/2 leftoever..Oh ya...BTW, it's KUEY TEOW...LOL!


The GIANT Size Wan tan mee to be share by 3 person




Kung Hui Juin, where is your peace??!?!??!??!


According to Donna, she's trying to make her chin looks smaller with that "senget peace" sign..LOL!

Not enough and we decided to get some dessert from K.T.Z Food Dessert Stall and we also went to buy the famous Mille Crepe from PJ too.

K.T.Z Food is located at SS2, Petaling Jaya, famous with the "sai-mai-lo", fruit with blended ice. We only order 2 flavours, Honey Dew and Mango since our stomach only left with little space for another round of food consumption, else the food will starting to spilled out from our eyes, nose hole, mouth or ear! HAHAHAHH!


Direct Translation for "HAM CHIN BAND" and "WALL BAND"..So funny!






The konon-famous mille crepe! RM9 per piece...Not good leh~


Opssss....Nice candid though~




The "WALL BAND"...


Anyway, nice to meet you Donna, and do drop by KL more..Errr...I think I should not advice you to come often, because for sure you will become fatter gal everytime you leave KL, since our itenerary will definitely involve eating eating eating and eating. LOL! Scare or not?

:: How to do breast self-examination? ::

Posted by ~Elaine Tam~ at 8:31 AM 6 comments Links to this post
Got this leaflet while shopping alone last Saturday while looking for the perfume for my uncle @ Sunway Pyramid.



*Click for much BIGGER view*

This leafleft was being placed at the customer service counter in Parkson, and it caught my attention when I saw the picture of a women naked lying with breast/nipple shown clearly on top. WTF!! Yes, I AM HAMSAP POR, don't forget that. LOL!

The title "Breast Cancer Your Life is in Your Hands", then I know it's women information in teaching women on how to do self-breast-checking to reduce the potential of breast cancer. Frankly, I never do any self-checking or mamogram before foe realydetection (if any).

In my mindset, I thought we only need to lie down, and show our armpit/ armpit hair to the air, press press and turn turn around. That's all I know but not until today,after I read carefully on how to perform the checking in an accurate way. I mean there is a way to turn and to massage your armpit/breast area to check if there is any lumps or any abnormalities on our breast size/look/color and so on.

Personally, it's very important for us to know how and we must practise to check constantly. Breast Cancer is WORLD NO 1 CANCER for women!

1) Look

Undress to the waist. Look for changes in shape, outline, colour and texture of the skin and nipple.

2) Lie Down

  • Lie flat on your back with a pillow or a folded towel under the right shoulder. This allows the breast tissue to spread.
  • Use your left hand to examine your right breast while you place your right hand behind your head.
  • Examine the area from under the collarbone to the bra area.


3) Feel your breast

  • Keep your fingers together and use the flat part of three fingers to feel the breast.
    Move your fingers in small circles, about the size of 20-cent coin.
  • Press gently but firmly, feeling for lumps or thickening of tissue.
  • Imagine your breast as the face of a clock. Start at 12 o'clock and feel along the boundary till you return to your starting position.
  • Move down a finger's width and repear in smaller circles till you reach the nipple.
  • Push this aside and feel under and around the nipple. You may find a ridge of firm.
4)Your underarm

Now move your left arm down to your side. Examine to the breast tissue that extends into your armpit.

5) The other breast

Next, place the pillow under the left shoulder and using your right hand, repeat!

Now, it's time for graphical tutorial! Are you ready? I know you are *I saw some guys's saliva is drooling flooding the road* LOL!

:: Ben's B'day @ Tenji, Solaris ::

Posted by ~Elaine Tam~ at 6:17 PM 17 comments Links to this post
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you, Uncle Ben!
Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!!! You..you!!! you!! Only you!!!


Blink blink eyes, *wink wink* it's one year passed since we celebrated Ben's Birthday last year. Ben's is my uncle, a husband of my auntie who also my sister's boss LOL! Recall back last year's celebration, we made a simple birthday celebration cum gathering at their house at USJ, with my auntie's cooking as our dinner for the night. We also prepared a presentation slideshow as our gift to him. Simple but warming and memorable event.

But it would be different this year, as Ben and Yen Mae (my auntie) decided to bring us to Tenji Japanese Restaurant @ Soho KL, Solaris Mont Kiara for a Japanese (ALL WE CAN EAT!) buffet! I've tried Shogun, I've tried Jogoya but not Tenji but I think it should be almost the same with both Shogun and Jogoya since all of them are from the same country JAPAN! Wtf!

But in term of price Shogun is cheaper than Jogoya, and Jogoya = Tenji! But however still one word "EXPENSIVE"! But considering it's a buffet style then it may be not EXPENSIVE for those who CAN EAT! But too bad, I CAN'T, so it's EXPENSIVE to me! Ok, I should stop in capitalizing letters and I know it's annoying! LOL!

And since both of our uncle and auntie treat us for such a luxurious dinner, we had further plan to get an exclusive and intimate present for the birthday "man" too! It will be revealed soon..Stay tune...

We reached Tenji around 615pm~ 630pm to start our buffet dinner. The restaurant looks spacious, it has a nice view too as it's located on 2nd floor. Not many people in the restaurant when we arrives, I guess it's still early for a dinner. But Stephanie and Ben they all had arrived by the time we reaches and they STARTED the makan-makan and ronda-ronda session already.
Frankly, not sure how should I start from here, because all I can say is we all are busy eating....eating......eating....and eating....maybe rest for a while, then continue to eat again.....WTF!!Frankly, I eat very less and for sure not worth to bring me for any buffet-style lunch/dinner because I had a small stomach and frankly Japanese food not my main favorite. I was busy taking photos and camwhore while others busy eating, feeding their kids/babies, or busy refilling their plate with food. We were seated in a long table which accomodate 14 of us.

I think let's the picture do the talking, rather me crunching and bamming my head on the wall and brain in explaining every details of the event.Ok? Let's start with the food options for the day!


Opssss.....Me with Tenji sign board as intro! You can take me as Food too! Maybe LOLLIPOP? Hahahah!

Do we look alike? He is my "brother"..LOL!Nola...he is NOT my brother, he is my bf.. =_="... Everyone say we look like biological brother and sister..wtf!!

It's dessert time! The dessert area is located outside, where we need to make our way out walking distance to get our dessert. But worth it, because it provide the most expensive ice-cream for you to choose which are Baskin Robins and Haagen Daaz!! Yohhhooooooooooooooooo! Apa tunggu lagi! ATTACK!!!!

Wipe your mouth, Amanda! ^__^


SSSeeeee...she is so happy~ So enjoy to see them smile!An ice-cream a day, make them smile all the way!


May seems to enjoy the dessert too!

Since it's Ben's Birthday celebration, A CAKE and CANDLE BLOWING is a must! Being creative enough, trying to utilizing Tenji's cake, we decided not to buy a cake but to arrange cake dessert in a plate to become a BIG CAKE! Geng chao leh!

We brought our own candle and "Happy Birthday" stand and as result.................. ta...daaaaaaaaaaa!!!!


How was it? Nice leh~

It's time to reveal the "exclusive and intimate" present for the birthday "man". We decided to get him branded MEN perfume which highly recommended and reuested by his wife LOL! Of course la, his wife lurve the smell and she wants to smell it everyday! LOL!

We got him JPG (Jean Paul Gaultier) 200ml (limited edition) Maxi Le Male perfume. Frankly, I don't know JPG is a branded perfume. I only know CK, Ralph Lauren, Armani, Polo, etc but not JPG. So "kampung" right? But I know it now, because the price is way much expensive as compare to the branded perfume I know. wtf!! It cost us at RM300++ leh~ But, since it's for Ben, ok la....I'm not that kiam siap anyway! LOL!


Me with my wrapping! Nice? I mean the present not me! wtf!

:: My Farewell @ Tony Rama, Pyramid ::

Posted by ~Elaine Tam~ at 8:20 AM 12 comments Links to this post
At last, it’s my turn to be the heroin in the farewell party. LOL! Usually I will be the one who plan or organizing for the hero/heroin that are going to leave Spansion soon. But, never think of it would me so soon for me to join those “party” too.

Thanks to Shirrene for design the album-cover LOL! For my farewell party, which include my photo as background and my join-period just like how the R.I.P. Wtf!

“Dec 21 2007 – 30 Oct 2009”


Nice isn't it? "Let's throw a farewell in STYLE" <-- that slogan was so GENG CHAO!

The countdown left 10 working days with Spansion, 2 more weeks to go with Spansion and soon I will leave Spansion, leaving behind all my shits and pee (which I digested for the past 2 years me working with Spansion), leaving the farts that I farted quietly on my chair (without the notice of everyone around LOL!), leaving the restriction of SHORT 45 minutes lunch time, and leaving many more.

I think I did well in leaving my fame behind Spansion which include my particitipation in Spansion activities (Mother’s Day Card Design, Spansion Badminton, Kaizen’s Competition, Bowling Competition)

Ok, back to the farewell party, I choose to go Tony Rama Western Restaurant, Sunway Pyramid mainly because I never try on it before. And I guess it would everyone flavor to have western food instead of Japanese food, knowing somebody might dislike Japanese food (raw or ½ cook food). I myself would prefer western as compare to Japanese. So, that’s how Tony Rama comes in mind.

Originally, I thought we’ll going to have small-group farewell party with 6 of us going out for lunch. I wasn’t prepared for a big group and unexpectedly, the number of people increase to become 11 persons at the end. Wtf! But luckily still not a lot as compare to Shannon’s farewell which sums up at 20+ peoples joining. I don’t like mass group farewell celebration. I just want to keep it as simple and as intimate as possible.

Another weird thing which freaks me the most is where “someone” who famous with back-stabbing/split tongue (lidah bercabang) and who used to backstab me once joined the party as well. WTF! Obviously, she just wants to join the “snaking” session and not sincerely intended to see me for the last few weeks. Can I say NO for her participation in my party? Oh ok ok..cannot…because I’m not that “small gas”! I let her join by the way. LOL! Anyway, since all of them have arranged so I just let it go with the flow.

Guess what, I had the longest farewell lunch which takes us almost 3 hours from the moment we leave Spansion until when we stepped back from Tony Rama lunch. We departed at 12:30pm and reach Sunway Pyramid at 1:00pm and took us 30 more minutes to there with light traffic-jam along the way, 10 minutes to look for parking and overall it took us 40 minutes to reach the restaurant. This proven 45 minutes is impossible for us to make any lunch outside even though Pyramid is not very far from Spansion. *mumbling again on Spansion 45 minutes lunch*

Let’s picture do the talking on how we are doing on the lunch. One word to describe “FULL”!!!! The portion for each of the meal is so big which enough to fill 2~3 stomachs (maybe small stomach). And the plate of spaghetti can even fulfill 3~4 persons, just imagine how big the meal was.


Tony Rama, I AM COMING!!!



The menu for the day~


Yen Nee, Shirrene, Me and Tinee (from left)


Me, Hui Juin and Siew Ping (from left)


Micheal , Me and Ang (from left)


Nonie, YS, LE (from left) and me (back)


Peace! The superman of the day! He manage to finish all of his meal!



Variety of the sauces (the specialty)


Ta..daaa~ I designed using the four sauces..Creative isn't? LOL!


The Designer!


The soup of the day


The Onion Loaf (RM12.90 for full loaf) ICHIBAN! Good!


The GIANT Spaghetti for one person! Wtf! How the hell one person can finsih it? Right?


Shirrene with her rosted chicken set


Mojo Chicken


Salmon ...yummmmyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Me trying to finish the pieces of chicken fillet......


No CANNOT LEDI!! I'm FULLLL!!!!!!!!!


All forcing themselve very hard to finish their meal!


Burrppp!!!! I bet all felt exhausted!

After the meal, I was asked to give a speech (as normal torture event for the hero/heroin of each farewell party) and as I told you since I was not prepared for big group farewell party, I WAS NOT PREPARED at all! And I just felt so nervous ended with “Thank you, thank you, sorry sorry, and thank you again”! Wtf! I don’t know what to say ler!


I know I did badly in the speech, so I purposely made a slideshow using all the photos I’ve taken with Spansion’s colleague together with thank you speeches along the way. So what do you think? Touching? *hehehehheh*

video

As usual we do the group photo taking at the end of the lunch, my last group photo with the team. Frankly, I almost cried when they asked me to give out the speech, yes, I am an emotional person. I don’t feel sad but just feel emo especially when thinking that soon I will be leaving all of them behind. *sob sob* I know it’s my decision to move forward, but it’s not easy when thinking that you will be leaving all your 2 years relationship with all of them whether it’s good memory or bad memory, it’s still something to be mesmerize.

Lastly, some of camwhoring photos while on the way back to look for our car making our way back to work after a veryyyyyyyyyy long lunch~ Really appreciate for joining me at this farewell lunch, whether you re sincerely or not. LOL! But for those who are, I really will treasure every moment we’ve been together as a team, as colleague, as member or whatever we are and will become “WAS” soon. Wish you all the best for all the undertaking and please do remember me always! I love you all!
