First Words of the Day (Guess Who) and Ang Pow & Movie Time with Mum, of the Year!

You know what and how great friendship starts with? Small talks. And it goes a long way, I strongly believe. I used to have issues with small talks - if I don't have an agenda with you, I find it purposeless to start a conversation, what more with small talks. However, as time passes by (although time files, you don't have to wait for a long time, I assure you) the number of people who will stay will change, either increasing or reducing pattern, and in my case it's the latter. I understand how it feels like to start off with many peers and slowly having to realize that it's not a growing number either. But I found, ever since I learned about small talks, I no longer have to worry about that anymore. Long time friends, old buddies, new friendship, or buddies yet to be - I can have them all now =) Nothing fancy really, here's one of the chat I have:

First words of the day =D

Woke up today with a surprise from mum (actually it came from my ex-neighbor) - I got my first Ang Pow (red packet) of the year! Woohoo! I know I said it doesn't matter if I receive it or not, however whenever I do get it, I have this tingling feel of excitement inside me! I guess I have to admit, I still have a little boy in me who gets excited ever so easily =)


Mum had received two (2) free movie tickets, compliments of TGV's Movie Club. It's a pretty neat membership package by TGV, which includes two (2) free movie tickets and a regular popcorn set upon signing up and another two (2) free movie tickets and a regular popcorn set (what, again? Are you kidding me?!) on your birthday. The other benefits of the TGV Movie Club are exclusive invitations to special screenings, advanced move tickets in which you can buy ahead of others, and earn MovieMoney from purchases from TGV (online and over-the-counter). How much does this membership cost? Only RM28 (that's RM7/movie ticket + benefits), but for the prosperous month of February, it's being offered at RM25 (that's RM6.25/movie ticket + benefits). No brainer right? =D
(note: this is not a sponsored post; I just felt like sharing this, after calculating out the benefits for myself)

Tickets for two, for Triumph in the Skies

I haven't watched movies with Mum since a long time ago. And after sorting out my stuff much earlier, we decided to catch a movie together. Mum liked (if not loved) the TVB drama series, "Triumph in the Skies", so naturally this would be our pick since there wasn't much selection at that point of time.

I'd suggest anyone to watch if, but specifically for couples, haha =D It was a little awkward for Mum and I, 'cause nearly everyone else in the movie hall were couples. The movie was alright, very funny and I love the videography of film. However, I did think they overused the color-filters a tad bit too much. In my opinion, I don't think the places they film was ever that colorful, even though I've not been there before. But, it was fun through-out the film. Sammy Cheng's voice is still as good as ever~! And Captain Jayden aka Captain Cool is super cool! I don't know how he keeps his looks, dangamit! LOL

14022015 Mum's Birthday Eat Out

Yup it's the 14th February, we all know what day that it globally, and it also happens to be my mum's birthday =) I'm my momma's boy, just so you know. So on this glorious day, I dedicate the whole day to her (also happens it's a weekend, and I'm not working =P)

Brought my mum back to SS2's Korea House for dinner. If you love Korean food and you haven't been there, give it a try! I don't have a share in the place, but I've been there a few times prior to this visit, and I still am steadfast with the saying "Must come back again"

I like the environment and service a lot =) They're attentive, quick and responsive. The taste is definitely worth paying for, although it does break a budge but it's not super expensive. You really get the taste of authentic Korean food, according to my sources =P You'll love the Pork Belly, and you'll like the variety of side dishes - it's different every time (check out the pictures below)! I'm pretty cautious with where I dine (unless I don't have a choice) so if I can leave a place (with a desire to return or revisit the place) with a smile each time, it means it's worth it.

Samgyeopsal (Pork Belly)~~!!

Gyeran Jjim (Steamed Egg) - this was on the house.
This is simply delicious!
I think it is a new menu so they were giving out to customers to try =D

Family's treating by their one and only, VERY ONG =P

During dinner, I promised my family that I'd bring them for some of the best shaved-ice desserts (aka bingsu) I know. We headed to OW:L Espresso (we're back again and you know what that means too =P Click here to check out my previous post about this place)

Yet to try their coffee-bingsu but their bingsu's are worth the travel to try (again and again)! I don't think I can ever find another place that offers shaved-ice dessert this smooth and not so sweet (it's dessert but you don't have to feel overly guilty about it either! =P). There's many Koreans visiting this place as well; I suspect the person is charge is a Korean too, but I haven't got a chance to speak with him personally. Must find an opportunity one day to do so =D

Special menu - Mango Cheese Bingsu!
Yea, we got not one, but TWO (2) regular-sized bingsu.
Large = RM29
Regular = RM16
Originally, we order a large one, but they got our order wrong and offered us two regular-sized instead.
*we're in luck!*
How awesome is that??

This mango cheese is a must-try if you're a a fan of bingsu and also cheese lover! =P
The combination is simply awesome!
