Father's Day - Xuan Xin Restaurant

This Father's Day we celebrated at Xuan Xin Restaurant. My dad loves the steamboat here. Probably find it unique as they uses porridge / congee as the soup base for the steamboat. There's a lot of variety of soup to choose from, and by that I meant plentiful (from herbal, Laksa soup, hokkien mee soup to porridge base)
Some family pic (Lynne's snapping the pic)
Some rather candid shots of us (hmm... I think we are quite color coordinated)
and hubby, I and our table manners :P
Thanks dad for supporting us throughout the years and moulding us into the confident selves that we are today. Happy Father's Day to all Dads!

Summer Garden Food & Bistro

Summer Garden, as the name speaks for itself, a relaxing airy place for a quiet cozy meal. I would definitely return to this place to try out the varieties on the menu (especially the steaks). The restaurant provided call buttons on each table (Call / Water / Bill) which gives us our 'space & privacy' (with no server hovering over to take orders or refill water, only when requested).
My Spagetti Marinara (RM19.00). Delicious with plenty of seafood and mushrooms. Hubby ordered Fish & chips (RM17.00) and caesar salad.Mantis prawn asam laksa (RM9.90) with generous amount of vege was not exactly to my personal liking. I prefer our traditional Penang asam laksa with lots of prawn paste. However, hubs gave 2 thumbs up for the drink - Summer Breeze (Fresh concoction of juices: apple, tomatoes, orange, lemon, mint and honey). Indeed very refreshing.
More drinks: Sunset Beauty (RM10.80) & Iced Black Coffee (RM8.80) Summer Garden is serving Lavazza coffee (RM7.80). Very strong and aromatic.Since this restaurant does not charge government tax and service charges, hubby did leave some tips for the server ;)

Mother's Day - Tsuruya Restaurant

Since my dear mummy loves japanese food, this year we celebrated Mother's Day at Tsuruya, Penang Time Square. Since Time Square has yet to be fully operational, the place is not packed with buzling crowds YET.

Picture of the cute ever loving couple (my parents).
Hubby and I. Notice the 'Garfield' look on hubs.
An upclose look on my dinner set (Salmon sashimi & grilled Unagi). The meal comes with rice, chawanmushi, salad, pcikled vege, miso soup, fruits and also complimentary ice cream! Too hungry to take more pics on all the other sets that we ordered. :P
My cheeky siblings whom I adore (from left: The Engineer, The Designer, The Auditor). Life has been so busy that we arent spending as much time as I wish too. Mental note to self "spend more time with family".
Me & Lynne My little brother-Cavyn & I (He's trying to make me look taller)
Love you guys lots!

An Exciting Life

You Live an Exciting Life

You are anything but a bore. You make sure that life is full of excitement.
You have an adventurous spirit, and you don't like to sit still for too long.

If you feel like doing something, you don't think about it. You just do it.
There's no way you could ever live a boring life. There's too much to do and not enough time.

I did some random online test, says I live an exciting life..somehow I find it amusing.

How does my hubby love me?

I'm feelling lovey-dovey-cheesy... :)

  • Hubby will wake up 7am in the morning on his off days to drive me to work (coz he knows that I so hate to drive, me being a lousy driver is besides the point)
  • He always offer to buy me breakfast before sending me to work (if he's driving me)
  • He downloads all my fav series and watch them with me
  • Hubby will make me my Milo drink anytime of the day the way that I like it
  • He offers me his last prawn in his char koay teow
  • He make sure my car's petrol tank is top up
  • Hubby patiently waits while I get pretty (Facial & Hair Saloon which can take hours)
  • He sends me msg & calls out of the blue just to say " I love you"
  • He tolerates my weird obsessive clean-aholic personality
  • Hubby somehow 'understands' why I perpetually need more shoes and bags
  • He spoils me with shopping sprees and hotel retreats
  • Hub's on the same page with my family
  • He nurse me when I am sick
  • He pampers me with foot massage
  • He constantly brings home 'surprise snacks' for me after work
  • He makes sure I'm well fed
  • Hubby supports my designer bags indulgence, yaay
  • He is always standing on my side and takes no nonsense from people who stepped on my tail
  • Hubby make sure that my car is serviced and maintained in tip-top condition so that I can drive safely
  • He knows how to cheer me up with that funny smile
  • Hubby spoils me rotten and I love it!

I can go on and on with my list. I lurve my man....
As we grow older together, As we continue to change with age, There is one thing that will never change. . . I will always keep falling in love with you
