2009/2010 transition

Wed, 30 Dec 09
Last lunch of the year with colleagues.

Colleague: Should we invite the senior manager?
Me: Noooo. Otherwise, how can we then complain about the empress (i.e. big boss) and her eunuch (the senior manager)?
Colleague: *laughed*

Took night plane to KLIA and then KLIA Express to KL Sentral where Ban picked me up *muack!*

First time played Titan Quest multiplayer and with Ban. Was lagging but Ban managed to do port forwarding to drastically reduce ping to at zero or near zero. Ban took nearly half an hour deciding on name of character because he was undecided on which 2 masteries to select later (which then influenced the choice of name). I've suggested Bunny to him :P

Lunched with Nothamsap and his friend at KLCC. Had pizzas at California Pizza Kitchen. Chatted a lot about a variety of stuff. Great fun!

On the way to KLCC...
Me: Honey, why haven't we reached the train station?
(We're supposed to take train to avoid the city traffic jam)
Ban: We've long past it already
Me: Aren't we supposed to take the train?
Ban: Yikes!

Had Godiva dark chocolate drink after lunch. It's yummy but don't think I'll pay that price again for it.

Dinner at Champs at Centrepoint. Had Sar Hor Fun, salad and longan drink. A little pricey but worth it.

It was Titan Quest until bedtime.

Titan Quest again! :P

Cooked lunch. Ban stir fried chicken, which was marinated the night before, and I stir fried vegetables (capsicum, baby corn, lettuce).

Went over to Nase's place and played Game of Life with Nase, Felix and Nase's nephew and niece, with his sister as onlooker. I won by a small margin :)

Bought some food and reheated the chicken and had them for dinner with Ban's brother. Chatted a lot about Titan Quest and showed his brother our multiplayer game.

After his brother left, it was Titan Quest until bedtime yet again hehe.

Sat, 2 Jan 10
Titan Quest until it's time to pick Leggie up for lunch at Midvalley Mall. Later, we visited my friend and his family at Sentul.

Ban: Yikes! Sorry dear, I went the wrong way
Me: (Saw the sign "Tasik Perdana") You were going to Sentul?
Ban: *nods*
Me: *laughed* So how?
Ban: Use my GPS. Look for Midvalley Mall
Me: I thought we're picking Leggie?
Ban: He lives somewhere there

(some time later, as we're approaching the mall)

Ban: Yikes! Forgot to pick up Leggie!
Me: *laughed*

(Ban called Leggie for direction)

Lunched at Purple Cane Restaurant. Some time later after ordering...

Waiter: Sorry, we ran out of Golden Beancurd
Me: What do you mean?
Waiter: We don't have fresh beancurd to cook that
Me: Cold Storage is just there. Get some there
Ban: Dear...

Waiter: Sorry, we also ran out of sweet potato leaves
(so tempted to buy from Cold Storage)

Nevertheless, lunch was good. Visited friend at Sentul, whose wife just gave birth to a girl 6 weeks ago.

Picked up Jason Jr for dinner, after getting lost somewhere in Tropicana Mall. Had dinner at TGI Friday at the Curve (or was it Ikano?). It was the first time I ate at TGI Friday (didn't go to the one in Singapore either). It was disappointing. I had much better fish and chips at countless other shops, some at much chepear price. The brownie was terribly sweet.

Headed back to Ban's place and Titan Quest a bit before heading to my sister's place where we played poker with chips (heavy good quality ones). I won by a large margin hehe. We slept overnight there.

Had steamboat for lunch, all prepared by my sis and her hubby. It was most delicious.

Played a short round of poker (where my bro-in-law won) before heading back to Ban's place. Played Titan Quest for a while before heading to KLIA and back to Singapore.

Thanks for taking care of me and making me laughed a lot, honey. *Muack!*
