It's not the end of "My Life Journey"


Just days before my birthday 2 weeks ago, I heard the saddest news. News that will turn my life around, something that kills my passion, something that wakes me up and look at people and life differently. My dreams and my hopes were shattered into thousand pieces. I was betrayed, accused and the pain in my heart is somehow unbearable. Suddenly, I questioned God..."WHY? Why me?, Why us?"

2 weeks has gone, can't deny that the big "question mark" is still lingering in my head but I can say that God has been there for me throughout my life journey, especially during moments like these. When I've finally hit the rock bottom, I see true friends who will walk the distance for me, friends that will cry along with me, friends that keeps my spirit going when I am so down and depressed, thanks Darren for waking up early morning just to help me with my "stuff", Ally for bringing me nice places just to make me eat and giving me an "Oscar" everytime I am able to finish at least 1/4 of my meal. My parents for being there with me. I would like to thank all family and friends who came all the way to help me, hear me cry and hear me bla bla in the middle of the night...I just can't thank all of you enough!

Thought I am uncertain with my future now, but I believe what I went through is a life lesson and I trust God that everything is well taken care of...

I am feeling better now but still hurting. Time will heal my pain...I will be away for a while to ease my mind...

Lots of love to share,
Shereen aka Ah Bee

Indulgence, Ipoh



PART ONE (The Dinner)


My parents & sister decided to give me a surprised early birthday celebration while I was holidaying in Ipoh and this time..it was the "talk of the town" restaurante...The Indulgence.

Surprisingly, the service was pretty good....I heard rumours saying that the waitress are quite rude...Nah, they proved me & YOU wrong....I was actually impressed on both the night's dinner and the Saturday brunch..(yaya...I went there again for breakfast..that's how good the food was). When I asked the waitress about the "special menu" of the day, wah..you know what? She carry the whole 60cmX40cm blackboard over to our table and show me the list of food....



First came the bread basket & our appetizer called The Ruby...




Dad ordered Bodain or something like that lar...it's actually German sausages cooked with peaches and pear...yummiee..



Mommy ordered Chicken Nachos..few patties of spinash pancakes topped with an egg, chicken on screwers...nothing special but taste perfecto!



Sister ordered baby veal with mango pickles on the side, if you remove the layers of veal, you'll find potatoes and brinjals...the meat was cooked to perfection!!!!



Mine? I had Goose punya Foie Gras with pouched egg, showered with truffle oil...the taste? Priceless



After dinner, we had 2 tiramisu...that's the signature dessert at Indulgence... Don't leave without this little piece of heaven...



Finally, I had "The Fluffy" and no I did not eat my favourite poochie for dinner lar...it's actually the name of the coffee the lady boss gave...which is actually Espresso with chocolate sprinkles...so keng, after drinking, slept at 3am..



3 hungry aliens gazing at the cakes and pastries... I shoo...the aliens away & have a closer look at the cakes...No wonder the aliens were gazing at the cakes ler....it looks so yummie...even earthlings like me and you will never resist.



The Wine Room


The entrance to the dining area



Here's the present papi and mami bought for me...Tengkiu papi mami, they really know what their baby daughter need wor, 20 years ago, they bought me Johnson and Johnson baby lotion set...now leh, won't work for me anymore.....yeah Ah Bee's face need special treatment liao , need double dose of SKII treatment water.... sob sob..

PART TWO (The Breakfast)



Had breakfast again on Saturday at Indulgence. A cosy breakfast room..


The colour of their coffee sets are so bright and colourful...



Here comes our breakfast.

And the cheese platter...

Now you see it...


Now you don't...

The conclusion of this Indulging experience @ Indulgence was:-
1) Service was good
2) Food was delicious
3) It's value for money...though it's abit pricey for Ipoh standard...
4)Ah Bee actually dig her folk on every plate that was landed on her table..

4 days 3 nights beakaway...

Last minute plans was made by Ah Bee to return to Ipoh for a 4 days 3 nights stay for a little "siok sendiri" vacation. Packed my little sister along with me and here I am, enjoying all the food, the comfort of my bed, the afternoon naps, drinking mocha in the middle of the night and stop thinking about work for a little while.

I have so many photos to share when I return to KL....as for now... "Maria...... white coffee ice...kaw kaw satu mali!!!"

A custom made holiday

When it comes to vacation, I prefer planning my own trip. I've mentioned a million and one time that it's never fun to go on a vacation via tours. No doubt the price is cheaper but most tours will include unnecessary stops at tourist souvenir shops which they'll be earning a hefty sum of commission if we buy from these shops. Worst if the places they include in your itinerary is not the place you want to go. Boring isn't it? Well, my friend is going to bring her kids to Orlando for a holiday and her main target is to go to the wonderful world of Disney. I told her not to take the tour package since she can custom made her holiday by planning it online. She managed to get a good flight deal from the Internet and also Discount Walt Disney World Tickets for the whole family. She's happy that she doesn't have to go through the tour packages for this trip.
