Two of my favourite quotes. So here we are in the new year. New beginning, new hope, new dreams, new successes, new failures.. 

I guess we can treat this as the official launch of 1 in 7 Billion!! Hurray!!

In the previous post, I mentioned 1 of my new years resolution(will know who my 'child' is within 2 weeks). Few of my other ones include, pay off any debts, start a small business, well basically I want/need to Make More Money!!

2008 ended off slow and 2009 seems to have started off the same way.. oh, wait.. let me show you a pic of my x'mas dinner food!! hehe..

Roast Turkey...

breadpudding

Bread & Butter Pudding...

Ok ok..that was not all I made.. there was Potatoes Boulanger(potatoes baked with onions in stock), a simple salad and some nice french ham(i cheated and bought this), and another dessert peach pavlova...

I spent x'mas eve at home with my family and we had a small toast because x'mas eve and New Years Eve are only a few days apart, I only like to go out on 1 of those nights. Cant live through 2 nights of horrible jams around town. So anyway, went out to countdown at the curve after having dinner with my gf and a group of my best friends.

Only a few pics to view, dinner at Paddington House of Pancakes

My Pancake & Peaches..

Well my verdict on Paddington House of Pancakes.. not worth it.. the potato pancake with lamb was disappointing cuz it was mushy and such a small portion of lamb considering it cost about RM35.. my peaches and pancakes was ok only, as you can see, the pancake was white, not even appetizing(at least brown it a bit more to match how it looked in the menu). Would I go there again?? If i had no other choice, yes. To pay RM 20++ for something I can make for RM 5 at home is just a bit too much.

After that we joined our friends at Marche(i was there for lunch with my colleagues that afternoon too)..sorry no pics because they had already started eating when we joined them..hehe..Marche is a nice place to go once in a while if you have a big group looking for something to eat.. i really like the concept of it and the food is pretty decent too..

We took a long walk while waiting for midnight and got a great spot to view the fireworks on the bridge along THE WALK at the Curve..after which I got stuck in an almost 2 hour jam getting out of The Curve..tip to their management, have an exit plan in place for this year..

Well guess that's it for this long post.. Happy New Year to all and wishing you all the best in the upcoming days!!
