This morning was Music Station on Animax, featuring Hot by Avril Lavigne in Japanese. It was very ridiculous.
Now these sushis from the French supermarket, Carrefour!
My mom got these while she and my sister in Penang. My first sushis this year. I was too excited that I only took two photos of the sushis. My mom bought the salmon roe, crab meat rolls, smoked salmon and assorted roes with some wasabe. I always loved sushi!
I realised that Alor Star is quite the city now. I mean all the lights, the busyness of cars on the road and the people. You can really see the real Alor Star at night with all the lights especially during festive season like now the Chinese New Year. I just got back from having a dine-out in downtown of Alor Star.
We (grandma, sister and me) went to Giant first for some groceries. People were packed there, not sure why but it seems that all the Chinese have nothing to do at home during the Chinese New Year. Instead they went out to shop at hypermarket, how business-wise is that to Giant. Then we went to eat at the city's renowned Nasi Lemak Haji Ali, located at Seberang Perak, along the Persiaran Sultan Abdul Hamid. To be honest and shame on me, this was my first time with them. I think this is way much better than Nasi Royale (they're located throughout the city!).
I just love the atmosphere of Alor Star at night. I think it's very energetic and vibrant. Not as vibrant as Penang or KL, but good enough to feel the change since the last few years. I honestly saw a new club opened near Alor Star Tower.
So far I've been to a few restaurants and food outlets in Alor Star including Damiral's Grill, Uno Cafe, City One and Nasi Lemak Haji Ali is new to the list. I must say that Nasi Lemak Haji Ali is the best. The food was okay (typical mamak Nasi Kandar) but the environment is quite nice. You eat your food by the busy Persiaran Sultan Abdul Hamid, entertain yourself by getting together with your friends, talk about everything till late night and just enjoy the company! Seriously, it's a nice place to hang out...
So I've been babysitting my cousin for the rest of the break. We (my grandma and I) took her back here last week, the same flight that we went to. I just forgot to mention it in my last post. Anyway, she is currently a year and nine months old, pretty a twerp. She is being nothing but a burden. But at the same time, she is kinda funny. She talks in baby language which sounds very funny and tries to be a grown-up.
Other things that I did so far was (again) shopping, and basically doing nothing. I watched Zathura, a 2005 movie on HBO last night. It was a great movie. Then, I came across a movie titled The Mistress of Spices while flicking through channels after the movie was over. The movie was casted by probably India's most favorite celeb; Aishwarya Rai. I think this is the one that has a scene where she had sex with that white guy. Not sure, but I always find the clips on Youtube.
Today, I made a cake. I'm sure you guys knew that I like to cook. This time, the cake is probably the best and the most perfect cake that I have ever bake! It is a chocolate cake, with chocolate syrup and chocolate rice on top.
Yes, I heard that, thanks. IT IS delicious and mouth-watering.
