Last week was filled with fun and sweet surprises. Most of us at work were very much in good spirit and despite itching to leave for official company hols, we worked hard and played hard nonetheless. Had an amazing, long pre-Christmas lunch with fellow colleagues - twas the best one so far with none of us discussing work hehe, and when it was time for the lucky draw and christmas swap session; I was asphyxiated with happiness. I got vouchers worth RM200, a small bonus as a newcomer, cute little gifts and a multi-function cooker. Woooot! Awh-some! Completing the happy day was a quiet, relax dinner with my closest friends at Chef & Brew located inside a mansion in Damansara Heights- one of the best place to get really good mushroom soup. MN and Eka both had fusion Bombay Chicken while Nadiah had lamb steak and yours truly has forgotten what she had after she sunk her teeth on a delicious moist chocolate cake that's her dessert.
Now this place has become one of my favorite simply for their mouth-watering food, simple superb ambience that reflects a rather high level of classy, sophistication. As a sister restaurant to Victoria Station, prices are pretty much the same but the quality might slightly be lower yet still delicious. They have a daily set menu at RM 16.90 that comes with a soup, main course, dessert & coffee/tea. The main course is changed daily with 2 choices to pick from. The dessert can either be a slice of cake or ice cream. Its a great alternative if I am in a budget-mood but in dire for good food.
Weekend was no exception - had a wonderful time with MN browsing around the malls searching for backpacking stuff. Got myself a discounted original Deuter that suits my budget, petiteness and pretty short torso. Good enough as a small preparation before I could really carry a heavier load. It sits comfortably on my shoulder and has a suspension system that allows quick, easy adjustment of torso length. Plenty of room for clothes and two lid pockets and side bellows pockets allow me to store often-accessed gear such as torchlight, my truckers cap, sunscreen, bug repellent and found treasures. I can really use this for a small hike or a lightweight backpacking trip. I might need a 45l if I intend to backpack further and longer.
I can't wait to hop on the train tomorrow, enjoy my bunk bed and toast to new year in a strange land. It's gonna be an awesome time catching sunrise on a coach.Wrapping up my last entry for 2009, here's wishing to yet another wonderful, healthy, joyful year for 2010.
Till next year, everyone :)
