Nice view and flowers are bonus...we were looking for food...here we had mushroom soup, Oriental Chicken Chop and Chicken Cacciatore...

Pulau Aman -- Seafood Paradise

Pulau Aman located at Tambun, 15 min boat trip from mainland to this small and peaceful island...

Fresh seafood available all day long from the boat came back...and depends on luck and season, customers can buy whatever that offer here...freshness is guaranteed... then will be prepared and served by the  kitchen service here...

We got AAA size mantis prawn (so-called lai niu har), super big crabs, and uncountable shrimps...

 

Don't worry...the charges is always surprisingly cheaper than any other seafood restaurant you can named...
But please beware of your cholesterol level... haha...

Iranian mates + Iranian food + Kuala Lumpur = Awesome

Acknowledgment for Ehsan and Marjan... you two are sweet and adorable...

After almost one year of "hi and bye...", out of expectation, came to a click with my Iranian lab mates...
Can't believe someone nearly 4000 miles away in another side of globe...we could sit together and share... totally frank chatting from religion, culture, lifestyle, business, family, thought and perception...

Though Ehsan claimed that he can cook better than these, but still I would like to share here, my first Iranian meal at Garden...

This is the typical Iranian rice served with fillet and grilled tomato...
The rice is not the ordinary one that we have in South East Asia...and the preparation is much more tedious according to Ehsan...not simply steamed with electronic rice cooker...each and every rice grains are so perfectly shape...with very light taste...slowly diffuse in my mouth...
Besides, there are salad (which is mixture of cucumber and tomato dressed with lime sauce) and also creamy barley soup... May be its too hasty to draw a conclusion, Iranian food are prone to sour taste with lime and tomato..

I am pretty much enjoy my fillet...while they have beef tenderloin and minced meat...

I am so full after ate half of the meal...but can you imagine normally in Iran, the portion served is two times bigger than this?

Life is full of surprises...

Paint ball --- truly pain but fun

I couldn't remember when was the last time I enjoyed team match game...
8 versus 7... 3 games... win or lose is not the main concern, but the feeling of being part of the team... fire... fight... run... squad... cross... shout... and of cause the pain we shared...

Heard a lot about how painful being shot.. how dangerous the paint if accidentally burst into eyes.. in fact I am very scared of pain... but to paint ball, it was not as scary as I imagine la...you would proud of getting the bruise of shot marked...hahaha

Anyhow, the rules of thumb is play safe and basic precaution must be taken... marker, mask, vest and other basic equipments are available for players, but you may use your own one as well (for advance players)... whereas for first time player like me, several things to prepared for happy paint ball match are:
1. Good camera... you may ask marshal's help to shoot the snaps when you are shooting.
2. Dark color jacket... the paint may burst on the shirt...and the dye is not easy to be cleaned off... long sleeves cover and protect your arms from direct hitting of the ball.
3. Long pants and sport shoes... easier for movement in jungle trail...
4. Contact lenses... spectacles may not be convenient to be covered in the protection mask.
5. Personal cleaning kit... such as shower cream, shampoo and towel.
6. Extra shoes or slippers... just in case... like this happened...=.="

We played four matches, three different missions and three different fields...we have 500 shots for each players (extra charges for top up). The game was really hectic and tense... thanks god its just a game... couldn't imagine its a real war...great team mates... challenging opponents... good experience...only thing not satisfying me was the so-called "buffet" food: rice, spicy fish, yellowish vegetable and watermelon... so disappointing... well ya... if its the real war, you should appreciate for this "two dishes" buffet lunch...
