Weekend getaway...Part 1

*Disclaimer: I will NOT be held responsible for the increased gastric juice secretion nor the bulging eyes after you read my blog, in particular this post... Nor will I be blamed for making you jealous/envious/beh song/不爽/妒忌 at how much we ate and how nice the food was... You are forewarned... Proceed with caution*

So, in summary, in one word, wonderful, no, marvelous, no, magnificent, no, (ARGH!!!) Ok, let's make it just plain AWESOME!!! (Does this still count as one word??) Oh wells, so yes, 28th of February is Pui Shie's birthday and we chose to celebrate her special day by celebrating it for.....3 days in a row!! Haha, yes, we're VEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRY free nowadays.. Book a date with me ASAP..(*while stocks dates last* *rules and regulations applied*)

Friday-27th of February
Kidnapped the b'day gurl to my car and blindfolded her with check this out, heart-shaped-paper-sunglasses!!! Made lovingly by her roommate... Lol, now THAT was a sight to behold.. Next drove her for almost an hour all the way to Autocity in Penang while lying to her that only Agnes n I were there with her... Her other roommates, Melissa and Youming were in another car drove by my reli goofy good roommate, Jo En and (yes, I'm dedicating this post to you first...proud or not?? Hehe..) we were chasing each other the whole journey.. How we manage to race and yet make the blindfolded b'day girl fall asleep? Well, I don't know myself either!! Lol... Our destination- a buffet place that serves all things Asian-Tao

Yes,
that's the b'day girl with the oh-so-cute blindfold and Agnes..(That's the humiliating price she has to pay in return for the 3-day-celebration... Well worth it I would say, don't you??)

The Jackpot sushi that Pui Shie ordered cause of its nice Chinese name.. And liked it anyways even though she's like such an anti-rawness-person...

Tofu







You wouldn't believe the amount of food we ate that night! okay, it wasn't an-extravagantly-awful-much due to unforeseen circumstance with Jo En's car but all in all, I would say I would definitely go back for another round next time.. It's incredibly money well spent as there's a free flow of sushi, salad and drinks for the whole time you're there... Do check their website out if you're interested.. (A friendly advise to Tao though, do update your site, it's plain... unhelpful actually... Oh, and Tao should consider hiring me as their ambassador, I'll be real good in being one!!! Lol... To blog readers interested, I would suggest you giving them a call to get more information..)
*Not all dishes were photographed due to the amount and the speed we ate that night...lol...*

After this all-you-can-eat-pit-stop, we're finally on our way to Jo En's house mansion castle in Jitra.. Been there twice so this would be my third time there.. A bit paiseh actually... =p So yes, other than the irritating outpour of rain from heaven above for almost half an hour to an hour at night which caused driving to be at a crawling pace, we reached her house around 11.30pm.. Then at the strike of 12, we did NOT celebrate Pui Shie's b'day.. The reason?? Cause it's fun to tease PS I guess.. so she waited... and waited... and waited... and waited somemore... Lol... But yeah, we weren't that bad so...

There you go, her b'day cake!!! (Btw, why are there candle holders together with purchase only in Jitra???!!! It's so unfair!! KL and SP are such a stingy places...)
