18 at Harrods

Why do they call it Yorkshire pudding when it's not even a pudding?

So last Sunday, my whole family went to the Harrods restaurant to eat lunch and celebrate my birthday as well as Lana's. The place was beautiful and could only seat 20 people. But there is a bar outside where you could wait to get seated (very Western, I might say). 

There was this other family that booked earlier and got the best seats. Because of that, I didn't get to sit with my grandparents. My sister, dad and I were seated in a separate table. But it was okay. The first thing I did was searched the leather bound menu for anything meaty. When it comes to gourmet food, meat is my first option

So I took the Harrod's roast served with yorkshire pudding and vegetables. The picture above. It was heaven. The meat was cooked just the way I like it (medium. Not too well done with a hint of redness in the meat). Adik ordered the lamb racks while dad opted for the salmon.

Then we were greedy enough to order an after meal tea and then desserts. The tea was most probably the best tea I have ever tasted. Seriously, it tasted so good I didn't need to pour any sugar. The tea was from India and the waitress explained all the 4 factors that differentiate the goodness of the tea(the waiters there are so well educated about every single thing on the menu, it was crazy).

We didn't finish our bread and butter pudding (too much meat inside my system) but overall, one of the best gourmet restaurants I have ever been to in Malaysia. Thanks to my grandfather for knowing the fact that the best way to celebrate my legal age is by taking me to an awesome restaurant.

Busted!

School is over! Whats the problem? I got news from my sister that our prom which was held last year was discovered by the school authorities. Our principle announced it during assembly. She said that if we were to plan a party, we should do it together with the school. Then she said that the last school she became principle at, they had their prom with the school's help. It was an all girls school and they had the prom without any boys. Where's the fun in that? Boring gila sial! Plus all of us has finished school, we're not bounded to them anymore. So the party has nothing to do with the school. Its a party for studenta who left the school that year. Seriously, if we had the prom with the school's knowing, it would be a disaster . All we do is sit down and eat. No DJ, no performances, no Bunkface . Plus think of all the rules. Our dresses must be decent which means no sleeveless and nothing above the knee. Baik pakai baju kurung je! God the whole point of doing prom wi...

Breezy Island Getaway

At first I assumed that our trip to Penang would be simple. Honestly, I wasn't even looking forward to it but in the end I did enjoy myself. I thought we were staying in the city but it turned out we stayed at Batu Ferringhi which is near the beach. I didn't get to swim cause I didn't bring a swimsuit. I haven't been to Penang for years now and when I was there, I feel like I want to retire there. The atmosphere there is awesome. Its so laid back and carefree. I can see myself in a floral summer dress with my sunglasses and flip flops, wandering around the beach every morning. The night flea market there was so much fun. I wanted to buy this turqoise bracelet which is similar to the one Bella wore in twilight but it was too damn expensive. Sheesh.... When we were there, I thought I could leave all my KL problems for a while and just relax. Then my dad called and ruined everything. It seems like since SPM ended, he is always bringing me bad news. I'm effing annoyed ...

Simple to Sour ( A Fucked Up Birthday)

My grandparents screw up everything! They are toxic! FYI- I am currently crying and I'm too mad to hold back any tears. I don't care, all i wanna do is get this out. I'll call Nurul or Jasmin or Mia after this to let out my feelings. I don't expect anything extravagant from my grandparents. They are old and don't believe in celebrating birthdays. To them, it's just another normal day.  I was surprised when I came home to see my maid cooking my favorite kuih gulung and she said that my grandfather is at Nikko Hatel buying my birthday cake. So before dinner, my grandmother confronted me and asked me why didn't I tell her about my party this weekend. There are a few reasons why I didn't tell her: 1) I didn't bother because she's not gonna be there anyway 2) I am going to be with my dad that weekend so she doesn't have to worry about anything 3) I'm not using her money 4) Nothing would change if she did knew about it She was mad saying th...
