To Terrengganu and back!

First it was 480 pax, then 560pax then 650pax.... lucky we prepared for 700pax.

This was the Western set dinner for the Majlis Raja-Raja held in Kuala Terengganu.

Space was tight and hot what with chefs shouting around us, and service staff bumping into us...ishhh...

but I had some time to have a walkabout the town which was quaint and quiet and by the sea.
So here are some pics.

Penchala link tunnel


On a rainy night. The tunnel's dips and twists make it look like something from out of a movie!

and it came and went.....





As birthdays go, i'm not one to make a fuss about my own. when someone asks me what i'd like for my birthday i'll say.. I don't know.

This time round was no different. Well I lie, it was mad because i had a day off on the day of days for me but then as it would be, i finally didn't get a day off because work was too busy on that day. So i worked til 11pm and had to postpone my birthday dinner til the next day.

Had a few good friends over for lasagna, garlic bread and cake. Colin brought some delicious beef goulash he'd made at college. yummo! Panya had to have a bit of a snooze after the feast.. heheheh

You need cake, even a pastry chef needs cake on his birthday.

Had the simplest cake ever. nothing fancy. Just good flavours. Oolong tea cheesecake with a digestive biscuit base and fresh blackberries.


Thank you all so much for coming (Joseph, Marilyn, Colin, Matt, Hussin, Panya, Andy and Hussin's lil brother too!) another day older and another year meant to be wiser.

Good food, great conversations and most of all loving friends.

p/s Got some cool birthday presents, 3 hats, yes i'm so into wearing hats this year! a disco ball on a necklace chain and ooooooohhh my new Sony Ericsson k810i which took these pics! Thankyou thankyou thankyou all *mwah* Warren loves y'all!
