Afternoon tea at Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka Apr 20, 2009

I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought of was cakes. I fancy some cakes for today, so I rang up my brother a.k.a partner in crime, Kevin and he said OK! Yeah, we headed out to Dataran Pahlawan, the new shopping complex in Melaka next to the Equatorial Hotel. I wanted to get some cheesecake but he suggested crepes instead so we headed to this little cafe. This is the same crepes that are sent to the other cafe I used to eat crepes from - Food Foundry in Section 17, PJ nearby the old place I used to live in PJ. A good friend of mine took me there and I still remember clearly, that afternoon we were bored and he suggested that cafe after reading in from the papers. I remembered I was so tempted and spoilt for choices after seeing all the flavours, but there weren't as many as I saw today, or different. That afternoon, I couldn't decide whether to pick green tea or strawberry flavoured, so my friend ordered both and an extra chocolate flavour if I could still remember. I was telling Kevin about this and he laughed saying I was silly and greedy. Haha.

Anyway, we ordered 2 crepes today to share between us.

This is the chocolate banana flavoured. Personally I prefer this one better than the latter one.
Rum raisin flavoured. I had a tough time tasting the rum bit. Would not recommend this one.






Matcha shake. My bro does a better job in Starbucks honestly. I love matcha. anything with matcha, ice-cream, tea, blended, anything whatever, just try selling anything with matcha to me. You've got yourself a deal.
Look at how focused he is when it comes to free crepes, or just free food?

EY Christmas Dinner, Dec 2008

We had our Ernst & Young Christmas Dinner at the Fairmont Southampton Princess Hotel last year and it was almost exactly to what we had the previous year, nothing exciting. Except for we booked a room upstairs and had like a short weekend get-away which was quite nice. 

Quick picture before we head out. As usual I am always late for everything, this one I remember clearly as I spent extra time at the local MAC store picking up a couple of make-up stuff hehe, then we got home later than planned and then rushed off to check-in the hotel.

With my good pal, Joe.

Another good friend, Mike.

My handsome partner!

As the dinner was a bit boring, we just had an early night and when we got upstairs, we took more photos! I love the bathroom settings. Two sinks and we didn't have to argue on who's using what first. Nice!

Two very happy people!

Top of the Rock viewing at the Rockefeller Centre, NYC March 7, 2009

This would be the final installment or the final post for our trip to New York 2009. We went to the Top of the Rock Observation Deck as we missed that in our previous trip to New York.

At 850 feet above sea level, we were at the crossroads of commerce and culture, atop an art deco masterpiece and monument to progress. It was orginally opened over 70 years ago, the design of the deck was inspired by great ocean liners of the era, the perfect metaphor for floating above New York with unobstructed views in all directions.
A view overlooking the famous Central Park, Central Park Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx Zoo, Carnegie Hall, and the former Deutsche Bank.

Magnificent view from the top- looking at the cathedral.

Both of us all in smiles. We love NYC!

Empire State Building.

Look closely and see if you can identify Ernst & Young NYC office?

On our way back to our next stop! :) Can't wait to go back to NY again!

Happy Easter!
