Into the jungle, we savored.....

It was all prearranged by my wife's collegues to have a durian buffet in one of the durian orhcards in Teluk Kumbar,Penang.

The cost was only RM15 per pax, buffet line, starter rambutan, main course durian, dessert,durian and more durians.

It was truly my first experience "eating durians" in the jungle and i can testify that it was truly an experience.

It was also a first experience for my boys to be in the jungle, eating the durian, i hope they would fall in love with Nature than Computer, sigh.........

One of the surprises was,,, the orgainizer even prepared the "Rhino cooling water" to wash away the durian heat........i was caught drinking the "Rhino",remember "Rhino water" ka?

.It was also a first trip for my boys to the durian orchard,,,,i really hope they would fall in love with nature,then computer,,,,,,,,,sigh

This is the "three house aka watch tower" for the owner to keep watch over his durians and other produces.
The wheelbarrowfull of durians readly to be wheeled out to be served.

The gang of durian lovers,beckoned by the durians and lush greenery at the background, simply awesome.


It was all there but it was not all there that we could eat, too much, too full......but no regret.



The owner of the orchard and his son..........sometimes kampung folks are nice..

P/S : Durians all the way...............

Trader Hotel Buffet Dinner, When company is better than food

My lovely wife and i were full of excitement yesterday, simply because we had a so called friends cum my wife's colleagues gathering at Traders Hotel for buffer dinner, i knew it was going to be loads of friends cos every single of them was such a joy to be with, seriously speaking.

"The first excitment for me, she was happy and so was me"

The excitement was even greater when we were told that there would even be a "free flow of beers, wine,coffee and tea" silly me, i don't need free flow of C and T lah, when beers can be so much fun already, kan?

We were there early but my excitement was immediately curtailed because of a misinterpreted information on the promotinal email from Traders Hotel sent to my wife's colleagues, after the colleagues told me about the content of the email, i knew that the Traders Hotel was wrong about it and then there was a Amanda who saved the day,, she finally managed to nego with the manager at least to give a round of free beers and wine.

The girl who saved the day, the powerderful, oops sorry sorry the powerful Amanda, who managed to get us rounds of free beers and wine.. thanks a million dear.

Overall as far as i am concerned, it was really a fun night out with those wonderful friends, really enjoyed it , thanks guy

These are the guys who are so much fun to be with.

You see i was reliving my dream as the Charlie in the Charlie's Angels...( I have got Kate Jackson on my left, Farrah Fawcett on my right"see this Doreen really got the signature hairsytle of Fawcett's kan? and my far right i was smitten by the charm of Melissa aka Jaklyn Smith.kekkekek.

P/S : Thank you guys for the wonderful evening,, truly enjoy it

One time, two times, three times

Seriously,i was worried sick that if i could make my blogger friends such as Mr Arthur, Miss Claire, Miss Jessie,Mr B (ok wait till Claire tells you who Mr B is),Miss Jessie and soon to be (i hope) Miss Mandy(soon to be blogger ) really feel "syiok" about meeting up here in my " Taiko Land" All my worries dissipated when we started singing at 4.12 PM with Arhtur started singing away and it was really such a fun and not pulling anyone's legs Arthur sang well, so did Claire. To read more about the gathering, please go to Claire's blog. For i want to share about the other side of this gathering.

You know, it really takes of sincerity to have good times, you see this is the only 3rd time i meeting up with Arthur and Claire and because of sincerity we were like good buddies already, it was like good old friends meeting up.

Not forgetting Mandy and the other male blogger from KL, when we met up for dinner after the kara ok session, there was no a minute of dull moments and all because everyone was so sincere in calling one another " FRIEND"

Thank you guys for giving me such a wonderful evening, what more it was a celebration coinciding with my lovely wife's "good medical report"

P/S : You made me feel brand new
