My Christmas cum Birthday Present





After 4 years plus i had been using my old  Nokia phone which is N80i, i receives my Christmas cum birthday present from my wife. She knows i need to change my hand phone since my N80i lately shows sign that it was about time for it to retire. This N80i have served me a lot such as it function ability of WiFi, 3.2MP camera, Bluetooth, Infrared, MP3, MS Office, PDF, Zip Files and its durability (Drop few times and only once sent to NOKIA service centre to change the slider during it warranty period of 3 years from NOKIA).

My wife ask me to choose my present either to choose Cajon Drum Box or handphone. Some of you guys might do not know what is a cajon drum box so i put some photo of it here. It's an electronic drums where you sit on the box and beat the box with your 2 hands. It will produce the sound like the real drums. Had been asking around KL and the cajon drum box need to order to purchase. So, maybe this gadget in my next hit list in 2010.

Since my wife wants me to change my hand phone as she had change her to the latest Sony Ericsons phone, so i had been surveyed few handphone such as iPhone, LG, Samsungs and Nokia. Since i'd been using Nokia since my college time, so i much comfortable with Nokia. I was in a midst of confuse either to choose E-series and N-series.

At last, i decide to go N97 instead of N97 Mini. The N97 offer storage of 32GB while N97 Mini only capable to stored 8GB. The different between the price is RM100. For N97, there are having 2 colors to choose from either black or white. In Malaysia, the black edition of N97 is much more expensive than the white version due to demand for black color are high. The price different between the white and black version is RM99.

Here are some of the snap shot of the phone.

Pork Legs @ Lau Heong Seafood Restaurant (Bandar Baru Sentul)

Last week, me and my wife was invited to attend dinner with my cousin family. So, my cousin Mike and his girl friend decide to brings us to eat the famous Pork Legs in KL which located in Sentul. As i been living in Bandar Baru Sentul for almost like 3 years, I'm not aware that Sentul having pork legs delicacy like what i used to have in Sibu. If you are from Sibu, if you talk about the best pork legs dishes, it should be the one at the new terminal bus which also sells crabs dishes as well.

As I'm not sure about the place, so my cousin decide to meet at a check point for easy direction as my other cousin Anit and her fiancĂ© will be joining us as well. Our checkpoint was Tawakal Hospital at Jalan Pahang which is only 5 minutes drives from the place i stayed.

When everybody arrives at the check points, i was wondering why there is another additional cars leading Mike car and Anit car. So i just followed them to the famous restaurant in Sentul which selling the pork legs. What a surprise,  the shop just located nearby to my place and next to mini market which i used to purchase my groceries. The restaurant that we went for that dinner was Restaurant Makanan Laut Lau Heong.

The other cars which leads our convoy were mike girlfriend cars. It some sorts like an unofficial meet my cousin in laws family which consist of mike girlfriend dad, mum, grandma and grandpa. His girlfriend mums and granny looks familiar to me and my wife but we dunno where we have met them.

So we order few foods and not forgetting the signature dish of the shop which is the fried chicken wings and the pork legs. As it involve Mike in laws, so i have no guts to snap of the food photo but in the end i eventually i manage to capture some of the food photos.

Overall, the food was nice especially the Fried Chicken Wings. It was crunchy and soft. Dunno how to describe but for those who read my post on Fried Fritters of Brickfield, you can feel the crisps when you bite it. For the pork legs, i can say it just moderate taste and not as good as what i had in Sibu. Maybe on my next trip to sibu, i will post on the next blog on the famous pork legs in Sibu when i'm back to sibu.
