念书时的恋爱,仿佛没有一方曾经告诉过我它的重要性。凡事只要开心就好,哪怕只是一些微小的体贴行为或是久久一次的约会已经感到非常满足。<br />
进入社会工作时,开始考虑到大家能相处的时间都有限,顾虑多了,负担高了,少了份自在;决定也会因为需要顾虑及不同的因素而更变。<br />
<br />
人为什么会改变?<br />
其中最奇妙的因素应该是时间和环境吧!<br />
两者都是一件很独特却息息相关的因素。人生,不就是分分秒秒都围绕在它俩旁吗?<br />
它不仅能够改变一个人的思想与态度,还可以影响这一个人的本质以及行为。<br />
<br />
这让我想起了姐姐的故事。<br />
当时她男朋友每个星期天带着她也带上我去捉蝴蝶 - 那,是一种简单的快乐。<br />
我姐在她22岁时嫁给了她男友,我的姐夫. 婚姻,是成家立士的象征.<br />
从一无所有,陪着他总算挨过来了。<br />
至今已经20年了,详情我也就不提了,总之两人还是那么的相亲相爱。<br />
这份幸福来的不易。那是经过努力后得来的快乐。<br />
<br />
时间和环境,再次成为了主角。<br />
<br />
我发现周遭的人,会沾花惹草的人,都是经济稳固的人。<br />
哪怕在不稳定时,都不怎么会想到离开守在身边的那一位(不是在说我姐)。<br />
换个角度想想,一开始就过的非常舒服的一群利用自己拥有的来容易的事物去找到伴侣。<br />
跟随你的,是否能在你跌倒的那一天,还牵着你的手呢?<br />
<br />
朋友告诉我:对,金钱就是魔鬼。<br />
即便每个人多么的想否认这一点,可是它真的能够有令使你迷失了方向,迷失了原始的纯真,甚至迷失了自我的能力。<br />
<br />
如果你反对,请你老实回答我,<br />
你现在什么都有了,这样比较快乐,<br />
还是小时候什么都没有时候比较快了呢?<br />
<br />
我想,每个人的答案会随着不同的时间与环境下而变异。<br />
<br />
<br />
不说了,<br />
也许,最简单的快乐,就隐藏在最单纯的时光里。<br />
<br />
<br />

To divers, apart from the excitement of sighting whale shark, manta rays or other big fishes, we are often attracted to nudibranch, for their vibrant & striking color in the sea. It belongs to family of sea slugs, it is a snail-like creature without protection of shells and it feed mainly on sea anemones.<br />
So beautiful and eye catching look just like diamonds in the rough.<br />
<br />
Love to be served with colorful food on my plates, I thought it'd be awesome to put it on sushi and serve it to my friend when I first saw them during my dive!<br />

There are up to thousands type of nudibranchs exist around the world, to each color, pattern, size and form.<br />
While it requires professional camera, underwater housing and gears to capture these tiny loves (some as small as a grain of rice), I've gotten some photos from my personal bangla who carries a Hermes into the sea with him.<br />
<br />
I still couldn't afford them pricey toys, but investing in a GoPro with its wide angle capability allowed me to show off none others but the one and only limited edition underwater creature , mii awesome selfie.<br />

Having said that, "You are what you eat.".<br />
That doesn't mean you will turn into a potato or tomato if you're chewing one now.<br />
But this cute little love under that almost every diver would love to see and capture, seem to have taken the statement very seriously.<br />

Nudibranchs are picky eater, they eat only one kind of prey or two. They spend approx 3-5 hours daily on munching inactively. Instead of getting sick or died from their food, they stores these poison in their body and absorb the color, making it look like a moving snacks for fishes. Yes they are tiny, but they are not defenseless, not at all!<br />
<br />
While most of them are harmless to human, it's bright colors stands a beautiful defense shouting at its predator saying "Once bitten, considered sold!" Awesome shit.<br />

Although small, but they are strong adapting creature. They can be found in all world's sea but it is more common in tropicana and warm temperate seas. In our recent trip to Anilao, Philippines known for its underwater macro world, these loves are everywhere once we descent! *lucky us*<br />
<br />
Staying at Sea's Spring resort beside the not so secret dive site - Secret Bay (Mainit Muck), we definitely enjoyed our eyes training session for spotting the little creatures as small as baby's pinky during muck diving.<br />
<br />
Muck diving's my second favorite after drift dive. Being a lazy diver, I love how little we have to fin underwater, and spot them small patches of life here and there in the layout of sand.<br />

So, I ended my last dive for 2014 in Redang during it's closing season and coincidentally, I'm there again for it's opening season, just last weekend. Consider it a break from my work before GST's happening. </div>
<div>
The island was no doubt, packed like sardine on the first day of our arrival, due to school holidays. But it gets better on second day onward as people starts to leave the island and head back to the reality.<br />

<div>
As a diver, I usually do not mind about the stay I'm getting as long as it's clean (not easy), and providing hot water and CLEAN, again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We stayed at Redang Bay, same resort as our last visit and surprisingly, they had the whole resort renovated! They now have more vendors surrounding the resort including a chill out bar, mini market, dessert shop and even a Taiwanese chicken chop stall, great stuff to kill time.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
I personally think they provides kinda good packages including accommodation, food and dive packages (if you're a diver) at reasonable prices.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
So, keep calm and gear up. Did I mention that I've got a beautiful birthday gift from T? A new BCD in my favorite red. Perfect timing for me to test it out before our Anilao trip in April.<br />

Anyway, I can mention many unforgettable and beautiful moments under water. But there's one dive that mark my most significant dive till date -- <b><span style="font-size: large;">I saw a whale shark </span></b>! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
I was getting bored throughout the entire dive as there were nothing much to see, and my ass were freezing was all I can remember. While the few of us were doing safety stop at 5m before surface, i saw it swam gracefully passed us! I swear to god I thought I was dreaming for the first 2 sec before I alert the rest!<br />

Well, it was a juvenile whale shark but it still counts! WHALE SHARK, geddit ?! </div>
<div>
Many were surprise that we saw it in Redang as it is definitely not a hot spot for it. We did not manage to capture any picture as it happened too random to our surprise. But boy, it definitely set a new milestone for my dive journey.<br />

I dream of a sinking ship. I was terrified and there's nothing that I can do about it.<br />
I watch as the wave hits. We were going down.<br />
<br />
There I was, million feet under the sea watching the ship....<br />
<br />
It certainly feels strange and creepy.<br />
Like many others, I immediately went to Google about it.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #171717; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The water symbolizes both the mind and the soul and the culmination of those two things into what we call emotions. The water is basically a metaphor, in our dreams, for our own emotions, and a boat is our own ability to cross through those emotions and to navigate our own feelings. </i></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #171717; font-size: 16px;">If you dream of your boat sinking this is a sign that you need to try harder in the future to control the way you feel. You have not been able to handle yourself the way that you should. Even though sometimes it can be a good thing to express your emotions, when you see a boat sinki</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #171717; font-size: 16px;">ng in your dreams this is a sign that what you have been doing lately is not the good or constructive kind of emotional expression. You have gone beyond the realm of mere expression and these are now being translated into outbursts. You simply cannot keep control of yourself any longer.</span></i></span><span id="ctrlcopy" style="background-color: white; color: #171717; font-size: 16px; height: 1px; line-height: 0; margin: 5px 0px 0px -1px; opacity: 0; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; width: 1px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br />More:<a href="http://www.gotohoroscope.com/txt/dream-dictionary-boat-sinking.html" style="color: #bf2800; text-decoration: none;">http://www.gotohoroscope.com/txt/dream-dictionary-boat-sinking.html</a></i></span></span><br />

Dad called yesterday saying that he felt as if he has one daughter lesser nowadays. As much as I wanted to go back but, to think of the mayhem might happened later just doze me off.<br />
<br />
I usually handle all personal & work stuff using company's laptop and here I am,<br />
typing from my own. Found some photos that's stored in desktop and flipping it through.<br />
I thought of this day, last year.<br />
No friends, no money, no home, no job, depression, lost.<br />
It amazes me how did I walked through the days.<br />
I don't remember how did it happened. From negative to zero to positive.<br />
<br />
I don't deny things happened, they all happened for a reason.<br />
It taught me well, to be strong, to be tough, good enough to be myself.<br />
Well, people paid heavy price to get this far, the best option is to make it count by moving forward.<br />
<br />
That was then, this is now.<br />
Living in a society where promises are made like they're made to be broken.<br />
I have promised myself a huge one since last year and it is due in approximately two months time.<br />
<br />
Time is due soon and I can't wait to see it.<br />

Not sure whether it was because of the rising pressure from work, or any build up little issue back home is bothering me. I rant, I rage easily, I then start thinking too much - negatively.<br />
<br />
I want to talk. I need to talk. The repeating dream every night, it is driving me nuts.<br />
In a office that is full of products, in a bed that's filled with papers, and I was running in a jungle made from numbers. Eyes are everywhere, mostly staring with disagreement.<br />
It must be the year end thingy.<br />
<br />
Well, one more week.<br />
Ending the year end sales meeting, just another week to go - for the very little details to be done for closing. I want this to be over quickly!<br />
<br />
<br />
I think I should go for a real shopping spree to kick these nonsense off.<br />
<br />
15 hours till year 2015, tic toc.<br />

Well, the last post was more than a year ago. I guess I forgot about it until Pagan asked me for it.<br />
It's not that my life is dull or extremely eventful, it was ... normal. Twenty Fourteen has been a good year to me.<br />
A roller coaster ride from life experience in work, friendship, family, finance and everything that gave me a shock but thank God, I survived it.<br />
<br />
Imma gonna be random as I type.<br />
Random events, random stories, random jokes, anything that run across my mind now.<br />
<br />
I've learn that people come and go. I've learn that you are only strong because you've been weak; I even have the thoughts of putting a tattoo to it so that I do not fall again.<br />
I've learn to start from zero, literally. Climbing up was tough but it was all worthy. I'm grateful that I met wonderful peoples and have amazing friends that never judge during my tough time, and the helps and encourages advises I get.<br />
<br />
I've gained 10 kgs in a year and that puts a frown on my face! But now that I'm back to normal, I then come to realization that, isn't everything supposed to be this way? Things will be back to normal no matter how terrible, horrible it went.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the weight gained, I discovered a way to lose weight that caters all you alcoholics out there. Good news? More beer!<br />
I changed my diet a little by cutting carbs (once a day, usually breakfast), normal lunch (without carbs), and beer for dinner! In 3 months, I threw 7 kgs outta window! Now, do not tell me anything that says beer is fattening or highest calories among all alcohol. The fattening part comes from your supper, or any snacks that you're holding on your hand now I assume.<br />
<br />
And that, puts me back to cooking. I love cooking. I love baking. I love the smells in the house whenever someone's cooking. For this I've started a small business, selling food in a jar. Mainly healthy bites or upon request for client's occasions. It feels great to look at the little jars of happiness.<br />
On a side note, a couple of friends started their own business too! It certainly feel good to see friends around growing their hobby or interest steadily into business (I always agree to doing what you're liking is best thing to grow). The little effort that comes from everyone to help, the ups and downs.<br />
<br />
I've quit the alcohol industry and got myself a job in a FMCG supplying company thanks to Christine. Instead of helping the lost souls now, I'm supplying happiness products! I love my job. I no longer need to stay up till late for work. I no longer need to drink for drinking. I'm enjoying my drinks just like how I used to be! I love the hangout sessions with friends instead of visiting different pubs and clubs days and nights. I'm spending more time at home with the love ones. I'm healthier, I guess. >.<<br />
<br />
I'm back to diving, the silent and beauty in the sea still fascinates me like mad! I still travels, but it is subjected to the availability from work. I shall post up some photos sometime soon.<br />
<br />
Ok, that's too much typing. I think I should spend more time here, again.<br />
Now, its about time for a beer.<br />
<br />
Till then,<br />
L.<br />

I know I'm a little too late as it's touching mid of the month already but #niggasaywhuuuut? Better late than never. Out of many drunken days in the past few months, I find this particularly amusing and yea, counted as one of the best day ever!<br />
<br />
I woke up hungover of one beautiful Saturday and decided to go for brunch with the #barefootchics group. Just when I thought I could get another 20 mins of sleep, Caryn said "No, get ready and I'm on my way to pick you up, let's go somewhere."<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>. </i></span><br />
For us being us. Coffee sounds strange, pretty sure our body's autopilot system would direct us to our right place. So yea, started with my favorite booze/boost of the day - Bloody Mary <span style="font-size: x-small;"><strike>w lotsa lotsa lotsa tobasco</strike></span> at Circus KL. -_-<br />

Nowadays taking car seems to be too mainstream. Our friends are busy flying all over the world than being in town. Hours of catching up with the #barefootchics with drinks and taaadaaaa, off we go to TDH madness Cider Saturday! (Ten bucks/each for any cider in the house!)<br />

Sometimes, I like to hide and chill.<br />
A bottle of red, a few close friends, staring at sky, silly moments, comedy, movie night, or topics that will never run out would make my day.<br />

Our weekly SOP after every massive night out.<br />
<br />
It's not about the price at RM 20 for a bowl of curry/Tom Yam noodles that matters, it's about the thick slurpeee broth that bring us back to the real world after the bang from last night!<br />
<br />

<br />
Yes this place is a little overrated, the MSG used in the soup might be slightly too much but what the heck, the seafood galore within the bowl of goodness wins it all. After all, we just wanna chillllll!<br />
<br />
Gosh, I'm hungry by just looking at the photo!<br />

Have you ever realize how close life is connected to a ride on the roller coaster?<br />
<br />
1. All start with our greatest anticipation to step into the adventure<br />
2. You move on to the big drop<br />
3. It doesn't matter whether you're taking the front/back seat - same experience<br />
4. You have to be in the game - watching aside ain't got you nothing<br />
5. Up and down - fun and terrifying<br />
6. You might scream and shout or worst, throw up or give up<br />
7. Remember, there are tons of people are with you on the ride!<br />
8. Both requires you to 'follow the rules' to secure yourself<br />
9. Both came in all forms regardless to shapes, conditions, colors or whatsoever - expect the unexpected.<br />
10. Both pass so fast and doesn't last long for you to remember<br />
<br />
<br />
Life is like a roller coaster.<br />
It has its ups and downs, but the choice is in your hand either to scream or enjoy the ride.<br />
<br />
If you're afraid to participate, you have no idea what you're missing.<br />
Step out from your comfort zone, it might be the greatest ride you'll ever had. <br />
<br />
My choice? Both of them.<br />

<br />
I went through my Instagram photos before I sleep last night and I realize there are some cool places I've visited in recent days. Since<i> "sharing is caring"</i>; my bad if I don't share this with you lovelies no?<br />
<br />
1.<b> Pisco Bar, Changkat Bukit Bintang</b><br />
<a aria-label="Get Directions" class="businessAddress lfloat" data-hover="tooltip" href="http://bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&pc=FACEBK&mid=8100&rtp=adr.%7Epos.3.1487552034962_101.70890146303_Pisco+Bar_29+Jalan+Mesui%2C+off+Jalan+Nagasari%2C+Kuala+Lumpur%2C+Malaysia&cp=3.1487552034962%7E101.70890146303&lvl=16&sty=r&rtop=0%7E0%7E0%7E&mode=D&FORM=FBKPL1&mkt=en-US" id="js_65" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: white; color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 14px; width: 170px;" target="_blank"><span class="pbs fsm" style="padding-bottom: 5px;"></span></a><br />

</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A hidden gem located in one of the busiest street in city center, serving you authentic Peruvian cuisine and lips smacking cocktails. You can never go wrong with a glass of Pisco Sour.<br />
Consider yourself lucky if you see someone start dancing on the bar, or you could be next! :) </div>

<br />
2. <b>Aoyama Japanese Restaurant, Sri Hartamas</b><br />
Ground Floor, No.8, Jalan 27/70A, Desa Sri Hartamas, K.L (Opposite the open car park)<br />
<br />
My new found love after Ozeki in Kuala Lumpur. I was told that it has opened their door since ten years ago. Pre-book your dinner a day or two before and save your time on thinking what to pick from their menu. Let them know about your preferred food choices and ready for some foodgasm.<br />
<br />

<br />
3.<b> Fat Spoon, Uptown Damansara</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
A place introduced by my #barefootchics in Uptown Damansara.<br />
Cosy interior design with creative food menu. Try their Spicy Beef Macaroni or the colorful Ulam Fried Rice, it's reallllly good! Many attractive items on their menu with reasonable price that I would love to go back for more!<br />
Maybe we do a lunch date soon?<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>4. Mr. and Miss, Oasis Ara Damansara</b><br />
<br />
Dropped by for lunch with my boss after a meeting last week and had wonderful time! Love the interior design and the props on the table for customers to play around or #takepicha.<br />
Great big breakfast and Carbonara, check it out if you're around the corner. :)<br />

<br />
The haze in town is causing some serious sickness to everyone so, don't forget more water intake and some basic supplements to support your healthy livings. :)<br />
I've been introduce to a big family of water-proof gadgets recently from Sony. The phone and what not, and the top of my favorite list would be the new water-proof and wire-free Walkman!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/41820699@N08/9121608617/" title="Untitled by Louise_xin, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7379/9121608617_ddeb1a4dd8_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
It's like a dream knowing that we can now swim with music.<br />
Recently attended the "Wet Party" at ALOFT hotel threw by Sony Malaysia introducing the new Walkman Sports MP3 Player, an all-in-one digital music plaer designed to conveniently and comfortably wear to gym, sports and of course, the pooooool!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/41820699@N08/9122007567/" title="321362_527645137281958_1063370207_n by Louise_xin, on Flickr"><img alt="321362_527645137281958_1063370207_n" height="480" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3829/9122007567_cb2b34d034_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Love the playful theme organized by Sony Malaysia bringing the medias to the lovely evening surrounding by mermaids. We were told about the new NWZ-W273 with it's water proof design, player withstands not just water but the sweat from intense workouts, making it perfect for everyone from the health conscious to performance sports athletes.<br />

The new Sony MP3 Player NWZ-W273 comes with 4GB on-board memory (approximately 1000 songs) that could last up to 9 hours of audio playback on a full charge. Best for a lazy cat as me is when the battery is fully depleted, you could charge it for 3 minutes then it could provide music up to 60 minutes. Cool beans.<br />

Sony has always been committed to extraordinary audio performance, and the NWZ-W273 player lives up to that tradition with its crystal clear highs and deep bass.<br />

<br />
In addition to the powerful sound typically found in Sony’s high-end headphones, the player features a new tension band for a supportive fit and comes with small, medium, and large earpieces – ideal for secure, long-term wearing comfort during running, cycling or swimming.<br />
<br />
Bestie the music lover and I definitely want one!<br />

For a few minutes, I disagree with the statement because I spend the least time on my hairdo for daily basis. But ten minutes later, I think about the days you spend hours styling it with curl/straighten, putting on a hat, countless hair care products and the time you spend in hair saloons; or like some of my friends, who just can't stop playing with it all day. Then I realize, YES, hair is the shit. <br />
<br />
So let's take it back to the root of everything, the right hairstylist to make you feel and look is the most important element. I used to try different saloon from time to time and ended up with a head of mess! Lesson learnt and no, I'll never ever leave my hair to someone I don't trust anymore.<br />
<br />
A pampering afternoon in Shawn Cutler's new outlet in Bangsar after my last trip and before work with the bestie. :) I'm pretty sure you guys and girls are pretty familiar with this outlet that located in Jalan Telawi, Bangsar.<br />
<br />

<br />
We were invited to the new ones which opened approximately a month ago. The size of the store is much smaller, more like a express concept of the original's. I love visiting a saloon with everyone in the store is so friendly and share a common character with me - talk too much. Girls just need to talk.<br />
<br />
I've learn that it's best to leave your hair to your hairstylist and question is usually not much needed. Trust me, they know your precious better than you do. Yes, he chopped off 3 inches of my precious that break my heart but... it does cure my hair fall problem that trouble me most. I now spend even lesser time on my hair. ;)<br />

Thanks to my much damaged hair, Gibson used INOA, the ammonia-free hair-dye to prevent further damage. Leave the color option for them to decide and we agreed to go w purpleeee! I was told that the product aim for minimal harm to hair and scalp and it could even hydrate my hair up. But guess what, the part I love most about this product is that the strong hair-dye odor that annoys me all time is no longer there! Another plus to INOA products is that it doesn't irritate your scalp, so just take it as a treatment! :D<br />

Yes I'm planting mine, planting an eyeful experience from little part of the world. Or shall I put it in another way; I'm on an intensive training program to become a Professional Couch Guard. Sounds better?<br />
<br />
I've mentioned in my previous post, I spent 3 days 2 nights at the Golden Palm Tree resort with my dearest one, just two days after quitting my job. You gotta start somewhere close before the journey to the further place.<br />
<br />
Let's not mention the dirty beach side and focus on the hotel surrounding and it's facilities. Look aside, I bet ya all know how beautiful and cosy the place is. We had some fun driving around thanks to Waze the <strike>powderful</strike> GPS apps, but thank goodness we arrived just in time to catch the beautiful sunset.<br />

<br />
It wasn't my first visit to this resort, I went there back in 2011 thanks to the courtesy of <a href="http://withlouise.blogspot.com/2011/07/carlsberg-wheres-party.html">Carlsberg Where's The Party</a>. It didn't change much but instead it looked like it aged a little.<br />

<br />
So what exactly can you do in a no-man's land for 3 days 2 nights?<br />
<br />
1. Dig into the scrumptious hotel buffet spread. My secret?<br />
I took the whole jar of Nutella to accompany a waffles tower. *shhhhhh* :x<br />
<br />
2. Take a slow walk by the beach. You might want to apply some bug repellent before walking in, we ended up getting bites that itch for a week and it leaves fugly bite marks. :'(<br />
<br />
3. Spend an afternoon or two by the infinity pool with a couple of beers. If you're on a budget trip, you can BYO the drinks of your choice.<br />
<br />
4. Drive out. There are plenty of good food places around the area, but in case you just wanna laze, you could always visit their in house restaurants. The food was OK with reasonable hotel prices.<br />

Hello!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's been a while since my last update. Sorry, I've been busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I quit my job for almost a month. Well, the advantage of being unemployed is more party, catch up with friends, try hard to read up all the books I bought from book fair, travel around, hoping to find peace (ok, nonsense) or a piece of myself around.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yes, I'm fulfilling <a href="http://withlouise.blogspot.com/2013/01/hello-two-o-one-three.html">my wishes</a> one by one as I promised at the beginning of the year.</div>

Just a quick one of what I've been doing. </div>

I'm staying in tonight and since I have nothing better to do, I decided to share some pictures.<br />

Ten days in Cambodia. You must be thinking that I'm crazy, or questioning what possibly could I do? In fact I didn't do much. Everyday, I walked into random streets, cycled through the city, met new faces or better, picked a good spot for drinks and relaxation.</div>

Many fancy a bowl of pork based soup with their noodles, claiming that its the original flavour and irreplaceable. In my case, it doesn't matter whether its pork or chicken, I love it as long as it creates the perfect explosion of flavours.<br />
<br />
I've had enough cookies and bak gua back at home so I decided to come back to KL on the third day of Chinese New Year to do some CNY visits. The boyf was working and I decided to drive around in the traffic-free city.<br />
<br />
I went to Publika, Solaris Dutamas around lunch time. Many of the shops were closed because of the CNY break. It took me 30 minutes to decide what to go for <i>(<strike>women!) </strike></i> until I came across Yamagoya Ramen!<br />
The bestie and I wanted to try it a while ago but the crowd was mad and we couldn't get any. Lucky for me, it was less crowded when I walked pass and immediately, I took my seat outdoor enjoying the beautiful weather.<br />
<br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/41820699@N08/8549268216/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Untitled by Louise_xin, on Flickr"><img alt="Untitled" height="480" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8085/8549268216_868d9802fd_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Yamagoya Ramen w Tamago. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Gone through the menu quickly and I ordered their signature Yamagoya Ramen with extra Tamago. The service was great and my ramen was served within 10 minutes. Disappointment kicked in before eating by looking at the Tamago, it was obviously overcooked. <strike><i>Why they can never do it right?</i></strike> Dig into the good looking bowl, the flavour was good but nothing extraordinary. I liked the char siew but there was only two slices of them. Noodles were too soft for my personal preference. :(<br />
<br />
My meal cost around RM30 including a glass of green tea. It was a 'so-so' experience for me. I probably will never queue for average quality ramen at such price.<br />
Now that they opened another outlet in Fahrenheit 6th floor, Im wondering if its gonna be the same?<br />
<br />

Or maybe I should just stick to my favourite ramen at <a href="http://withlouise.blogspot.com/2012/09/top-tips-to-commit-perfect-crime.html">Marutama</a> :)<br />
