boon's log 3707.07: The weekend...

IL, sis and I went down to KL for Jacky Cheung last weekend. Yeah, I know, for those who knows me, it felt like an Englishman in China - :o). Anyways, my mission whether I chose to accept it last weekend was to drive and "chaperon" the ladies down to KL for the concert. Well, okay... I do listen to a little Jacky, but not enough to really understand what he sings most of the time.

We did not take any camera in, so only managed with my Z610i...


The Year of Jacky Cheung: World Tour 07

But I have to say, the concert was a little above my expectations. I quite enjoyed gig. Jacky's still got it in terms of entertaining the crowd. The night was filled with old to new songs. The only part that kinda got my yawning was the Snow Wolf Lake Musical presentation. The ~3hr long concert lasted up until 12AM sharp (to avoid >12AM fines by the Council...)

We again ended up at Times'. This time, we got bumped up from single to double room suites - a definite better deal than the last time) and we had a better view as well...


Suite with a view...

Well, one mission completed, what's left for the weekend was food, shopping and more food. Here are some photo-story...



Lunch at Tony Roma's at Sunway Piramid; Onion Loaf and Boneless Beef Ribs

It's been a while we've been back to Sunway and it's almost always a different place everytime we visit. It changes so rapidly, it's quite hard to keep track...


Skating-Rink at Sunway Piramid

Then we moved on to One Utama. And, I say, that place is huge. We actually got a little lost walking around and once more when were looking for the car. It was so huge that we had to take a break at Starbucks for a breather... Oh by the way, I managed to snap this following one especially for EYT - who's crazy about Honda ...

We then had dinner at Teluk Gong (Thanks, Uncle Mike!) - no photos - hands too dirty digging in on the seafood.

Sunday morning, woke up, showered, packed and checked out. IL's aunt came by and took us out for Yong Tau Foo at Ampang. Apparently, the one that she brought us is the second to the original, but tastes better.

Then it was IKEA - too full from Yong Tau Foo for IKEA's famous Sweddish meatballs, a shame. Then on the way back to Penang, it's most definitely Ngah Choy Kai and Ipoh's famous Hor Fun and wash it all down with Soya Bean Milk. Then with a packed belly, we completed the last lap back to Penang... All in all, packed and interesting weekend. Taking another day off tomorrow just to recuperate and just to R&R before heading back to work on Tuesday...

boon out...
