number thirteen.

today, is 13 September 2007. and is a Thursday. i believe there are alot of people celebrating their birthday today, and also...alot of babies throughout the whole world is born today, on the 13th of the month. to some, it may be considered as a number resembling bad luck...but for me...today is a good day =).

calling me at 9 am in the morning, mini (custard): sorry yin jiun...for disturbing your sleep. u're definitely forgiven! i was laughing at myself that my voice during sleep was so easily recognised hahaha. yea. it sounded gruff i know. hehe. neways, not long after that my parents woke me up for lunch. at Ikano, Damansara Perdana. The name of the restaurant is......

THE STEAMBOAT, Ketam Village. sounds kinda weird with the crab village following after the name. =x. this place is in Ikano, level P1. sorry i didn't get the exact address of the place, as in, in the level itself. just go around the area and u'll find the place =).

what's so special about this place? the food is OKOK only, but i shall say...if u want a comfortable place for steamboat-ing, or those who really take into consideration for cleanliness: THIS is the place! ok here's why...

seeee???? hahahaha. 1st picture would be the setting per table for s-t-e-a-m-b-o-a-t: each and every person will have their own "boat" to personalise =). 2nd: close up on one "boat". 3rd: after the bowl is inserted, filled with soup (clear, or tom yam). 4th: its the waitress turning on the switch for me =P, this is an accidental pict ok hahaha. see how convenient it is for the customers?

1stly, each of us will have our own "boat" to customise to...and hygiene will be ensured as we won't need to dip our chopsticks, spoons etc into one "boat". and the switch will be right infront of each customer for us to adjust the flame (psst, if u on the thing before ur soup goes in and put ur hand inside...ur hand will.......NOT burn haha, cus its a metal sensor) =D. here comes the food

the platter of raw ingredients to boil, the boiling soup with food in it in my "boat", and the snapshot of the restaurant from outside. =)) u be the judge. btw...if u guys wanna give it a try...dun forget to bring along ur sweaters hahaha. u'll know.

andddd, today...is my sister's birthday. she's finally 17. eligible for driving license already. haha so here are some snapshots

yeah. that's her, with her birthday cake. and then...the cake, sorry its imperfect cus of the 2 candle holes there: Choc Banana by Secret Recipe. pict of her cutting the cake. lastly...what i had for dinner: Edamame (japanese green soy beans) =) very nice.

OKIE. that's all. birthday girl wanna use comp and i wanna sleep. tatahz.
