Birthday Celebration_Aug2011

Although it looks pretty small, it was actually a heavy 1kg cake!

Viennese Rich Dark Chocolate cake from Gobi.

It was so pretty!! Thanks, Wen!

And of course, the pretty gals!

Japanese food at Sutera Mall, JB

Shun Shun Heng Bak Kut Teh - opposite KSL City, JB

After watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Wen brought me to this store which he claimed is one of the best Bak Kut Teh in JB. It was crowded on a Saturday afternoon.

We order Bak Kut Teh, with added golden mushrooms and pig intestines.

We also ordered salted vegetables and pig trotters! It was so good that we asked for refill (it's free!) of the broth and also dip the you tiao (fried dough) into every drip of sauce/soup!

All in all, including our 2 cups of iced Ai-Yu (jelly) it costs us 46.50RM. Sweet.

J Hotel, Sutera Mall

A very nice boutique hotel which we have spotted it the last time we came here.

Wen got us the mini boutique room -RM188 for the night.

The Rooms

Our Mini Boutique Room

Very clean and a open concept toilet area makes the entire room looks spacious and unique.

There's even enough space for a separate rooms for shower and toilet seat.

Fooling around with the wallpaper...

It was raining that morning. We went to a coffeehouse close to the hotel where they served good dim sums and fried Mian Xian!

Over at Sutera Mall, you can also find a shopping plaza and here was where we tried ElMigos.
A reasonably priced Mexican restaurant, we had burgers, fish and mexican wings.

Nice place. But sadly, the service was really slow.
We took pictures of the wallpaper... 20mins later...

We caught a rainbow... 20mins later...

Our order came...

A great weekend getaway.

Thanks to all my dear ones for the wishes!

Bukit Timah Railway Tracks (10July2011)

Exploring the flora and fauna of Bukit Timah Trail

10 July 2011

Mum, Wen & I

Opened in 1915 as part of the Singapore Kranji Railway, Bukit Timah Railway station was a passing loop (Singapore - Johor) owned by Malaysia main railway operator, KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu).

As of 1 July 2011, train services on this route ceased operations, as a result of a land swop agreement between Singapore and Malaysia.

The tracks are Malaysian property and will have to be returned.

Thus, we decided to take a walk down the track and enjoy the nature surrounding it before things change in time to come.

Like us, many came.

This sign must have been put up way before the station ceased operation.

Everybody who came brought along their cameras and even kids were holding iPhones!

What is this sign about?

A young little girl actually hung her bagpack over the handle! Hmm...

We even found ginger plants and scallions (Chinese 'cong') on the ground!

In view of its historical significance, this place shall be conserved.

Hopefully it will turn out to be a better 'nature walking' experience the next time we come!
