Birthday Boy: Enrique

by elena.kwok

ENRIQUE’s birthday was around the corner but we knew we won’t be around on the day itself so we had an early birthday treat for him! Nothing special just dinner and a surprise catch of the day. Dinner was nowhere to be seen; as usual-fungry people like us! It was a rainy evening. Therefore, when our food arrived, we gobbled them down and ordered more food and they were gone too. I only managed to capture the catch of the day which was special made cupcakes. And the theme was, LIVERPOOL“!





Yes, Enrique. YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE! Anyway, we know you were really surprised with the cupcakes. I went to commando mode trying to hide them. I protected them so they would make a grand entrance; which they did. I hope you had a great birthday-DAY and may this year be filled with wonderful and exciting experiences and GO LIVERPOOL!

I am GIFTED!

by elena.kwok

Christmas came and go;

Like the winter befriends the snow.

Good times are planted and sowed,

Pretty lights adorn the X’mas tree and glow.



What a wonderful day to share;

The love, the gifts and care.

All things beautiful and fair;

It’s a time to give and bear.





Family and friends united over food;

Too much of wine is never good.

Lets get together like fire and wood;

Blows in and out, gives one a boot!

I received gifts from young and old;

Pretty little things that I can hold.

Never ask for more; I’ve been told.

Feel for those who are alone in the cold.





Below are the gifts I received from dear ones…in non-favorably order whatsoever. So, check em’ out!

Parker Joy - Hubs


3 New Cardi's for Silent Nights - Mom & Dad


Santa's Brown-tastic Belt - Sis

Plenty of  going-on far and near

Lets flash back the past and hold whats dear

Move on my friends,  relax and have a beer!

Lunch Date with Mom & Dad

by elena.kwok

AMARIN THAI – I love this place.. love the food, the drinks, the atmosphere and most of all I love eating. Though we savored this yummylicious food few weeks back, I can still feel the ‘Steam Fish with Lime, Chili and Garlic Sauce in my rumbling tummy.

Truth is we were actually celebrating our 10th Anniversary and invited my parents along but they didn’t know the invitation was for that particular occasion. We didn’t tell and not until now. So MOM if you’re reading this, YES we just wanted to celebrate our anniversary with both of you. We enjoy your company because we know you two don’t judge, won’t complain and never give us a hard time. And yes, Elaine… we wished you were here. :)

A lot have changed since we last stepped into Amarin Thai, Midvalley.. decor changed, furniture changed and menu also changed but not the flavors!!!
