New Series of Malaysian Banknotes @ 2011

I was informed that a new series of Malaysia Banknotes will release somewhere early next year. Last week prior to my return to Malaysia, I went to check out Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) websites and it was revealed that the commemorative sets were on sales on 22 December 2012 onwards.

It was already 5 days after the released of the commerative notes and decided to call in to check whether the sets are available. The last thing you want to do is to go there and to be told that it is all sold out. =.=  After several attempts, I finally got through the line and was told that the sets were still available but at limited  quantities. My mum and I decided to go over after our lunch since it was already 12pm and they will be closed for lunch time.

Upon arrival, we saw the crowds lining up at the main entrance. We were informed by the guard there that the crowds was relatively fewer as compared to the first and second day. Can't imagine how was the first day crowds like (=.=)'''

After half an hour, I looked back the crowds.....

Nevertheless, after waiting for 45 minutes, we managed to get two Full Set (RM1, RM5, RM10, RM20, RM50, RM100), two Sets of 1 (RM20) and two Sets of 2 (RM1 and RM5). ^^

Overall, the new series draws its inspiration from the distinctive features of Malaysia, incorporating elements of the country's natural treasures, culture and heritage. Check out their video at the bottom:

Family Dinner Gathering

Last night we have a gathering at my place for a family dinner. When it comes to dinner with my mum’s side @ uncle, aunty,  cousins and nieces, we sure know how to have a full feast!!!! (That would explained my expanded waistline >.< ) Check out the food we have for dinner.

For desserts, we have home made Bubur Cha-Cha, a Nyonya dessert of coconut milk with sweet potatoes, yam (taro) and tapioca pearls. Yummy!!!!!

I just love being back home with my families. Like they said, there is nothing like home sweet home....and home cooked food. =p 

Waiting for our next gathering for our CNY feast!!!! ^^

Coffee Bean @The Curve

It’s the holiday season and I‘m currently back in KL for a holiday. =)  I have to admit, I have not been updating my blog for quite a while (Since Sept >.<).  Hopefully I will be able to update as much as I can to share with you all what I have been up to. =)

 

Anyway, yesterday my friend and I was at “The Curve” for some catching up and decided to drop by at Coffee Bean for a cup of drink. For Citibank card holder, you are entitled for 20% off, which includes using your rewards point. Weeeeeee

Got myself a Pure Vanilla since it was close to dinner time and decided to cut off some caffeine. =p All I can say….it is yummy. My fav all time.

For Coffee Bean Lovers, why not grab yourself a cup of drink and enjoy 20% off (for selected purchase).  Till then, Happy holidays!!!!!  (^_^)

Dinner Gathering @ Fish & Co (Clementi Mall)

Met up with my friends aka ex colleagues for dinner @ Fish & Co. 

It's been ages since we got together since I left my previous company. 

And to think to meet up with both of them in Singapore for dinner. 

Anyway, Mr Beng decided the place since it was less crowded.

We ordered the Starter Platter ($15.95). A platter of nachos, friend calamari, fish nuggets and prawn fritters served with spicy mango vinaigrette, tar tar sauce and tomato salsa. 

Ms Goh & Me. :)

Mr Beng, the know-it-all.  :p

Next came the Seafood platter for 1 ($19.95). A generous array of grilled seafood such as tiger prawns, dory fillet and calamari served on a bed of paella rice and chips. 

Finally, Spicy Crevette Spaghetti ($16.95). 

Prawns and spaghetti cooked in spicy tomato sauce. 

Honestly the portion for the platter was a lot for 3 of us. 

Even Mr Beng, the big eater himself couldn't finish it. 

Guess too much of fried food can get a bit 'gelat'. LOL.

In a whole, I have a great time since we have so much to talk.

Hopefully we get to catch up again soon. ^^
