Two Meet-Ups, Three Meals On A Beautiful Day

HOW I SPENT MY DAY....

Sacrificed my sleep, waking up earlier than usual and out from my house at 8am to First Garden to have a nice breakfast and most importantly, to meet up with my ex-colleagues, catching up with the latest "gossips" from one another. LOL... Those days I used to rush back to the office after breakfast but it is so different now. Eat with peace and leisure, enjoying every moment lingering at the coffeeshop with my gang and this only happens once awhile....

This piping hot of meehoon with fish cost RM8 now!

From those days when I was still working, it cost around RM5.50.....

What a difference... but then... once awhile, just eat and enjoy!

As Hokkien saying, "ku ku jip pai"

LOL...

After the meet-up with the gang, I went home and lazed around the laptop till my second meet-up with a blogger whom I got to know not too long ago... Her name is Irene Chan and she is a sweet young lady who is still working, unlike yours truly. Actually she came to my blog and commented and I went over and somehow, I know she is Ipoh nang too... and that transpires our meet-up and we chose this place for our rendezvous....

Irene suggested this place O'Days and I am so glad she did...

It is my second time here in this place....

And there are much more varieties compared to the last time I came...

I arrived first and she came soon after..

I could recognize her immediately when she entered and vice versa....

Well, easy only after all, which lady sits alone and which lady comes in alone, right? LOL...

Before we began our "questioning", we ordered some desserts over our chat...

Since both of us had a good heavy breakfast, we just wanted something light...

And we settled for these... quality kuehs...

They cost RM1.50 each.. no joke!

Three of these... RM4.50...

Mini Otak Otak... RM2.50

And two glasses of tangerine... not sure how much...

Cos the tab was on Irene....

And for those who doesn't know Irene, here she is!

If curious, this is Her Blog.

Thank you Irene for taking off your precious time to meet Reanaclaire...

And for the Sweet Temptation's Treat....

Yes, do keep in touch for more meet-ups, K!!

I thought I would be skipping dinner after those sweet desserts...

But no, the temptation for fried rice was too great!

Ended up "walloping" a plate of my fried rice before I finally call it a Day....

*patting my tummy*

A very productive and foodful day indeed!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning. My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port. Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand. We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods. LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd. Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town. All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again. LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal... ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship.... Elevators on each side of the ship.... Making my mark.... On another side.... We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters... At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea.... Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise. So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation. Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room. Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax. How not to resist... LOL... And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea.... Looks small from afar... It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance... Our room for the next three nights.... Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door... The one with balcony cost a bit more... A short briefing about safety after we checked in....

Hahahah! Claire, you beat me to it. I have a few more minutes before I need to get ready for another meet-up with another friend. So I thought I'd check to see if you have a new post. It sure was a great time meeting you and getting to know you in person. Somehow it was like meeting an old friend, coz I already know quite a bit about you from your blogs.

The first time I went to the shop, I think there was no otak-otak. I like otak-otak too! Your fried rice looks good! A wonderful meet up for two sweet ladies!
