Timez Coffee - Free Crepe

















Remember Timez Coffee? I was there again last saturday with Jasmine Sia and Patrick. It has been like 9 months since i last visited Timez. Time just passes by so fast since my last article on it. Refer back here: Timez Coffee & My Raspberry Crepe .

















Well, actually it has been like 9 months since i last visited Timez with friends. I'll occasionally drop by to have one of their flagship crepe. This time around, i was intending to give my friends a treat since i had been craving for it past few weeks. The good thing about it this time was Timez management and the owner, also named Patrick were rewarding me with a free favourite crepe of my choice and a cup of ice tea for my delightful comments on them ( or so they said ).

















I got to know about it right after i purchased 2 crepes for my friends. So, i was told that they found out bout my article from Mr Patrick and i really need to admire their memory as it has been a while since i went there. I know i am repeating but who cares. The reason it took me so long to found out was because i was unaware of the comments posted by Mr Patrick few months back , hence the slow response by me. I will personally send my thanks to him in few days time.

















I had my shots taken with Timez coffee crew and i have to give props for their service. I rate it from the scale to 1 - 10 , 10 being the highest, i'll give them a 9. They should have talk to me more. LOL . I mean i would be glad whenever a girl talks to me. So...*cough*. nevermind about that. ( From Left: Me, Jasmine, Alan, Julia & Andrea )

















A testament to how delightful the crepes were, Jasmine left not an ounce of ice cream behind.

Bye Bye Chap Goh Mei

















Chap Goh Mei just passed, nothing interesting had happened except for the fact my hp got stolen by 2 girls in Parkson ( which they later returned it back with their numbers saved insie my phone book ) so i decided to play with the fireworks i bought before CNY.

















Aint gonna say much, the following pictures were taken by me while my friend was playing with my fireworks near my cousin's shop.

















Looking back during the whole of Chinese New Year, i did not went to many places. I admit i did spend the 1st whole week figuring out places to go, but then somehow, something happened somewhere which led to a rather dull boring new year celebrations for me.

















I did however could clearly recall few GOOD things which happened such as how i got to evade the traffics from time to time during the whole of CNY ( as my car is fully tinted ) and also the part where i got to take tons of pics with girls. Not that i ENJOY taking it with them, but it's just that quite recently, some peeps out there thought i had mixing a little too much with guys. So, you know, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

















.. that is to talk more to the opposite gender. Ok, another good thing which happened during CNY was the fact that i got to meet an old old friend of mine from Singapore. Kelly Voon. Not married, single and available . Those who are interested to know who she is could just refer back to my last post where you could see us dining out at Siamese Secrets.

















Not that i like to talk about girls, it's that they want me to talk about them.. here. Anyway, i should really stop the oh-im-so-confident style for the much humble me just cause my dad reads my blog while he's in China. He should be concentrating more on work than wasting time viewing girl's picture on my blog. Yes, he's reading the moment i am writing this article... i know.

















I kept figuring it out why this year, it just feels so different from last year. Maybe it's because my good good friend in NZ decides to go back earlier than expected. I gotta admit that people had been talking talking, guessing and spreading rumours about us being together. They just don't know. Even my ex gf knows.. ( and i can guarantee you my mum will ask me about this since my dad will call her up and tell her bout it ).

















Besides that, the group reunion of 2001 was indeed the highlight of my CNY this year. Although it's just a small group gathering, it means alot as i got to meet old friends which i thought had either gone lost in space ( which one of my friend did early last year ) or became some fengtao artiste. Another thing which i found out is that they are STILL studying while i am already working. That's a good thing isn't it?

















Well, it all depends on what you are doing and most importantly how much you are earning. I won't be complaining if my pay is good. But still, i gave them the impression that i am living the dream ( which i currently aint ) which i shouldn't have. Now, they are asking me to treat them to every place Miri has to offer.

















Talking about places which Miri has to offer. Miri has nothing to offer in terms of entertainment . It's a fact. The only thing thing i did when i brought my friend along a Miri tour were to places which she had already gone before 3 years ago. Maybe the only real entertainment she got was to sit inside a fully tinted car and get a little feel of how exciting it can get when traffics stop you or chase you around. That's all i could offer. ( i mean besides me of cause, hek )

















Food wise? Don't go there. The best food Miri has to offer comes from my kitchen. My instant noodles. I know i had been telling people that i cook good instant noodles. You should give me a call or something and i'll cook one bowl for you with one condition. DON'T fall for me after that. ( Girls only ).

















Well, i don't know if it's me or what. But as you can see, i didn't really enjoy this year's CNY as a whole to be honest with you. Lion dance does not interested me anymore, nor do i feel the excitement of playing firecrackers at night. I ain't even bothered about receiving red packets from adults. I would walked out of any mall when they start blasting jovial new year songs.

















Oh ya, i did mentioned something about red packets. I should have make some ammendments on what i said, what i was trying to say was " Red packets with small amounts does not excites me, i am looking at either 3 digits or 4 digits ang pao now ". Coming to think of it, now i realized not much people invited me to their place.

















No, don't laugh. This is serious.

















Guess i am really running out of ideas on what to write here. Well, just enjoy the pics which i had taken for you silent readers out there. The least you all could do is to post a comment on something selfish peeps.

















Bye.

Got Honey Dews?

















Today, i am teaching you all ( Adults included ) a little something about Honeydew . Some people really could not differentiate a honey dew and a water melon so i am here to help these obviously dumb people out.

The picture above shows a pile of honey dew melon. Honey dews come in slightly round and oval shape. The flesh of a honey dew is pale green in colour while it's peel comes in yellow. The best thing about honey dew is it's not only, thick but it's also VERY VERY JUICY. ( and sweet and tasty and big..... )

Guys really love honey dews and it's normally treated as a dessert. You all as parents should really be reading this and give your kids and your partner some genuine honey dew treatment.

















As in this case, pointed out by my cousin Adrian Tiong. Now repeat after me, " Honey Dews are irresistable! Grab one Both now ! "

Adam goes new year visiting

















It's Chinese New Year again and this year, i had many friends who called me from not only locally but also from abroad each competing against one another to have me inside their car or spending my precious time with them. The thought of dressing up and going out til late night is something which i dreaded most.

















It's even harder for me to go through New Year's eve as not only my handphone but my housephone wouldn't stop ringing for hours before and after the clock strucks twelve. Guys & girls , this explains why it's hard to get me to answer the phone during new year's eve as my lines are all engaged with everyone wishing me the best of everything. I shit you not.

















To make matters worst, the sound of the firecrackers and fireworks add more stress on me because i couldn't even hear what the girl opposite the other line is talking about. But i could vaguely understand something about her missing me and begging me to take her out. Or maybe take me out, either way would do.

















..and this comes to the time where i would find a nice secluded but relaxing place to chill and start planning my schedule for the week. I don't think many would have did this, but it has become more like a routine for me during festive seasons. So, as i had promised earlier about posting places which i had been to, these are a few places that i visited during the past 4 days.

















First up would be Sheila's house. She should be feeling really honoured as she's the first person i visited during day 1 right after i visited my relatives and few guy friends. I really can't stay long at a guy's house as the only thing they know is GAMBLE. Not what i am good at. I am innocent.

















Her house is at Pujut 4 and i can't disclose more details on her whereabouts. I met her on friendster and things just clicked. So, we spend the afternoon talking and talking and talking til few of my friends got sleepy and we decided to call it a day. I chosed to wear a white shirt just because some relatives of mine would not want to see me in black. ( From Left: Adam, Sheila, Flora, Patrick, Ben )

















Day 2, brings me to boulevard garden, home of Miri's own S.H.E . I received her invitation to go to her place as early as 14th November 2006. That's how they normally booked me in advance for your info. Her house is right beside my ex gf's house. I thought of visiting my ex gf but then i heard that she went to China with her parents and her.... newfound bf. People say i am not over her yet but people are just wrong. They say it cause they want me to forget about her so i can be with them. Make sense right? Good.

















I met Fan Rou ( Girl in Orange ) and Ah Mek ( Girl in white ) few years back when they were still studying in Pei Min secondary. School for the nerds. No offense. Miri's pretty small so i guess you all should have heard of this new pop act dubbed Triple Stars. But if you never did, then i think they aren't popular enought..yet. They normally cover songs from S.H.E which is obvious and also songs from Rainie Yang or Cyndi Wang. I didn't had the chance to visit the remaining 2 member's house as i'm fully booked.

















Next up was Yun Yun's house. I went there a day late than my other friends because i was really really preoccupied with things that time. I have a feeling that i didnt receive any red packets from her parents.. but it's ok.

















Well, we didnt had a group photo because she just want a picture of me and her together. She's selfish/stingy indeed ( just like her parents,ok i am still thinking of the red packets ).

















I took a picture of her while she's concentrating on NOT MAKING a fool out of herself. I got to know her in a theme park if you all are so incline in knowing how i get to make friends with her.

















She won the chess game this time round. She's playing white and i let her win because i thought she might asked her dad to give me more cash but he didnt give me any. She hurt me deep.

















At night, i was invited to a mini gathering for my old old school mates. It's meaningful that such events are organised once a while just to keep in touch with them. Marriage, Breakup and Scandals are topics frequently mentioned during chats.

















This is Ngu kah King, my ex school mate in Chunghua and classmate in Curtin U. She adores me.

















One for the album.

















Jumping to Day 3, we visited Relena's house ( known as Ribena to us ). She aspire to be one of the hottest model in damai beach hence the wear she dress.

















I got to know her through another friend of mine also called Ah Quek. Coincidentally, the day she broke up with her bf was the day i broke up with my ex. We are JUST friends. Don't get all narrow minded with me ok.

















I soon ended up receiving a phone call to meet one of my "close" friend name Kelly V. during secondary school. I wont' go into detail and we eventually met at Siamese Secrets for a dinner. No one knows about this, only you.

















The food was good. Anything seafood related are the best! We had mussels and prawns and squids and she's gonna gain some weight the moment she get back to Singapore.

















Awww..... i know she reads my blog. She had warned me not to post a pic which she exclusively posed for me. But who cares anyway since she's not here. Sharing is caring you know.

















Awwwww... i bet i will receive much flak for this chinese new year post from many many people.
















Day 4 , sees me heading to Boulevard Garden again to visit a very close friend of mine. I know i know i have exhausted the word "CLOSE FRIEND" numerous times in this post. But reality is, they are indeed my close friend. This is Jasmine Sia by the way.

















I got to know her when she's studying in Prime, she always uses that pink umbrella to college. Those were the days.

















She really resembles the likeness of a korean singer called BOA. That's what i think though. Oh, i also did caught a flu while visiting her.

















The girl on the right so happens to be her god sis so they did a few camwhoring shots ( exclusively for adamkuek.blogspot.com ) and i just felt it was unfair to leave her out from my article because Jasmine so happens to stay at her house , which means i was actually visiting her indirectly. She's called Laura and she's good in hurdles.

















This is Bambi...

















I visited Bambi's owner that very night. Bambi is a chi hua hua.

















Bambi's owner is called Joey. Joey works a stone's throw away from my office. We often talk about dogs and food as well.

















Rachel Yong's house was up next and we would certainly be visiting her because of the mutton which her mum prepares every year. I am addicted to it. Serious.

















My chinese new year visiting session ends at Rachel Yong's house and i bet there's more to come. Which person would like to join me next year should register earlier. It's fun.
