Hanare Japanese Restaurant?

I've always wanted to try Hanare but never got the chance.. it is situated along Jalan Tun Razak, KL.. for exact location, it is on Ground Floor of The Intermark..

I saw on FB that they are doing a sunday brunch buffet hence i made a reservation for last Sunday.. the place is quite cosy and there are 6 sections; wine room, alcohols, sushi/sashimi, noodles, tempura and teppanyaki

Sashimi section

Tempura and noodles sections

Teppanyaki section

Scallops, salmon, beef, prawns and chicken ready to be cooked teppanyaki style!

The aromatic garlic rice

1st round of buffet!!

2nd round.... teppanyaki!

And 3rd round *burp!!*

FINALLY ice cream for dessert

Okay, actually i had far more salmon than what i'm showing you here.. i practically finished their salmon :P the japanese sashimi chef eyes went like O.O and i was like.. =.="

Their sashimi is REALLY fresh.. the teppanyaki was SUPER tasty.. especially with the prawns.. crunchy prawns as well..

I am for sure will be going back for more.. BUT let my tummy settle down bait first.. overdose with jap.. if you plan to go, make sure you call for reservation as tables are quite limited..

Check out their FB page here for more info

age is catching up?

I've been having this feeling for some time now.. sigh... i've seen my ex-schoolmates got married, delivered their 1st child and then the next and the next..

It got me thinking and having this mixed feelings.. my question is... do i want to be married / get into a serious relationship?.. again..

I actually loved getting married.. not of the marriage proposal or the lavish wedding or the honeymoon.. i just loved the commitment to someone i love.. to be able to call him my husband / hubby.. growing old with him, waking up beside him everyday, to know that he loves me back, and be loyal and faithful..

But since what happened, it really got me thinking.. do i still want to commit seriously and 100% to someone again? i don't know if i could take it again, to have my heart broken to pieces..

Sometimes i do wonder, should i follow my heart? or my mind? my mind keeps telling me to protect myself, that i do not need to go through another heartbreak, that i am doing good without a commitment.. but my heart is telling me differently..

Is it that my age is catching up? that my biological clock is ticking away.. and that scares me?? hmmmm.... i don't know.. i don't want to think about having kids first when i don't even know what i want..

So should i take a risk and open up for a relationship?

still unpacking?

Sorry peeps, been abandoning my blog for quite awhile.. been super busy with my new place and yes, i am STILL un-packing.. didn't know i got so much 'junk' from my old place.. when i moved out from russ's place, all i had were some clothes and 3 boxes of my 'junk'

Now i had to hire a 3 tonne lorry for the move!

My place is such a MESS now :(

And it doesn't help it that i do not have Astro and internet now.. arrrrgh!!

My mum told me that today is the auspicious day to move in for me.. and the time, 9am - 11am.. it was SUPER early for me =.=

Today i just left my contractors alone to do up the plaster ceiling while i went to collect the down lights, paid deposit for the curtains and had a look at the bathroom accessories..

And guess what, without my supervision they forgot to open a hole on the ceiling for my chandelier! =.= i'll make sure on monday they rectify the issue

By next week Tuesday, the plaster ceiling has to be ready for the curtain guy to come on Wednesday to install the curtain's rail.. hopefully i can move in by middle of this month *fingers crossed*

Got so much to do, so little time!

1st day of reno?

My house renovation has finally started! wheeee~ the plaster ceiling contractor already almost done with the living room ceiling.. hopefully by end of the week, they would be able to finish the rest of the ceilings, then on monday and the whole of next week they just need to touch up and paint it.. also getting the downlights done :D

a lil update?

Sorry peeps for not blogging these few days.. as you can see the pictures on my Instagram, i am currently packing and moving things over to my new place.. little by little..

Renovation will be starting this Thursday and hopefully the plaster ceiling and lights will be done in a week *fingers crossed*

Will post pictures when things are done :)

keys?

Yes, FINALLY i got my keys to my new home sweet home!!

Went to check on the place, spent a couple of hours there and checked to see if my car can go up to my designated parking.. and yeap, it can't :(

Anyways, i have to write a letter to the community members to seek for their permission to park at the visitor parking bay

By the way, as i was at the lanai i saw there's 2 developments coming up in my housing area!

And these are the newly built houses

Hopefully with all these, my area won't be a 'kampung' area anymore *fingers crossed* AND my place value will go up :D

Seriously, can't wait to move in! *excited*

catfish?

Catfish??

You might be wondering why am i blogging about a catfish, as i'm not into fishing :P

Well, i'm not talking about the fish.. am talking about the MTV catfish..

Catfish: The TV Show is an American reality-based television series airing on MTV about the truths and lies of online dating. The show is based on the 2010 film Catfish and is hosted by Nev Schulman. It premiered on November 12, 2012.

This show reveals the true identity of the people who are dating online..

Come to think of it, i'm quite lucky that the guys i met online are exactly what they told me.. i mean, the most important thing is they didn't lie about their gender.. imagine you talking to a 'guy' online for some time and it turns out that the 'guy' is actually a GIRL in real life! it would be an OUCH moment..

Anyways, i've watched the 1st episode of the show and i can't wait to watch the rest..

Check it out

am i with the right partner?

Just found this on FB and had a read about it..

I totally agree with it.. what about you?

AM I WITH THE RIGHT PARTNER?

During a seminar, a woman asked," How do I know if I am with the right person?"

The author then noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so he said, "It depends. Is that your partner?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?" Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind replied the author. 

Here's the answer.

Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet."Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It's a natural cycle of EVERY relationship.

Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship; you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your partner might start asking, "Am I with the right person?" And as you reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when relationships breakdown.

The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the person you found.

People blame their partners for their unhappiness and look outside for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes.

Infidelity is the most common. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances. But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your relationship. It lies within it.

I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. 

Because (listen carefully to this):

The key to succeeding in a Relationship is not finding the right person; it's learning to love the Person you found.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it demands WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make it work. Make no mistake about it.

Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your partner), Just as there are physical laws Of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. If you know how to apply these laws, the results are predictable.

Love is therefore a "decision". Not just a feeling. Remember this always: God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let GO..

accurate?

I don't know about the rest of the zodiacs but for mine, it is pretty accurate..

Check out yours and tell me if it's accurate for you as well :D
