2012 Movie -- "We were Warned"

Movie 2012. Hmmm...initiate I have no interested on this movie as I not prefer to watch the type of disaster movie as seem like human can't control everything and totally depends on the god. This type of movie normally sure end with unhappy ending so I don't like it. We go movie is just for relax and enjoy one but this kind of movie will make me feel sad after watch as everything seem like will be gone for sure...haih...sigh...
However, until i received a forward mail from a friend pertaining to 2012 Movie on the End of the World. The marvelous shots of the mail make me reconsider this movie and the mail said this is most awaited movie of the year and "this movie can turn into reality and predictions can turn up to be true. How true is it? I think none of us have the answer for that...

Coffee Island At Gurney Drive, Penang

Have a drink at Coffee Island, Gurney Drive last Saturday with my lovely friends and sister who back from KL. Actually is the second Leng’s birthday celebration. Hahaha…how come got second time? As first time was too early and she didn’t cut any of cake so this time we had a cake for her and take this opportunity to meet all of them as nowadays hard to gather with them as all got their stuff to busy with.

Hmmm….talk about Coffee Island. Actually already been there for few time. Overall, I feel there was not bad as variety of food and I like the environment as very suitable for gathering and chit chat with friends. You can either choose indoor or outdoor. Indoor are suitable for those who prefer air-con condition with warm lighting and outdoor are suit for those who like to enjoy the sea view with open cold wind. For me, is depends on mood of the day...heheh

Cia Xiang SeaFood Restaurant

From Ginna's blog, we had decided to have it a try for Leng's birthday celebration last weekend. Due to hard to arrange time for all our lovely friends, so forced to celebrate slightly earlier for Leng's birthday. Hmmm...i think around 2 weeks ahead. Feel so " pai seh" to her ya. Hope she don't mind about that. Hehe...

Ok, back to the foods at Cia Xiang. Overall I satisfy with the food as some dish that we ordered was yummy and the way they cooked was unique. If you like seafood, I think Cia Xiang is the one that worthy for you to have it a try.

Of course she had her special “shi fu” just beside and guided her. I just sit beside and learn together. Actually is quite fun to made the sushi but got a lot of work preparation to come out those yummy sushi. Luckily, my family all comment taste very nice and said is up to the standard. Heheh….Maybe I can do it myself next time to make sure I had passed the sushi course…hahah…

Vintage Bulgaria Restaurant @ Penang

Recommended by friends and some of blog’s comment so had a friend’s birthday celebration at Vintage Bulgaria that located next to Ingolf,Tanjung Bungah. From the name, you can know that there is Bulgaria cuisine. When we just arrived at the restaurant, the waiter just served us to the lower ground of the shop. The warm lighting and the interior design made the environment cozy and cottage-like. Hmm…very suitable for a romantic meal. Btw, there is upper floor which has both dining and bar area. This area is more suitable for the events or friends gathering.

Overall I like the environment and I like the food too =)
