On post-Valentine’s Day, Daphne and I decided to pay Red Box a visit because Red Box was having a special promo for people born in the year of Rabbit, in conjunction with the Chinese New Year..
Called and reserved a room for two, inclusive of dinner buffet for two..
Reached Red Box at 8pm, proceeded to reception counter, got our room number, and straight we headed to the room..
Without wasting much time, we started off with our dinner before the long-haul of 4-hours of karaoke session..
Food was pretty good, from spaghetti to fried noodles to fried rice to fish fillets, braised chickens, to sushi to waffles, and to desserts..
Food quality was better than before and considerably wide varieties too..
So we sang for the next 3-hours and waited for the bill to come around 12-midnight..It’s not here yet, so we selected more songs to fill up the songs list..
By 12.30am, one of the waitresses knocked on our door and said, “Supper has been served”..It was quite a shocker, bill is not here and yet we were entitled for a supper buffet?
Well I was still full from the dinner so I didn’t manage to chunk in some food during the supper session..
At last, a waitress came and asked for a member card at 2am..
Again, we decided to fill up the songs list again just for the sake for it because we have so much time to sing our heart out..
We started to lose our voices around 2am but we just couldn’t leave just yet because the bill wasn’t here yet..
So we sang and sang and of course some camwhorings with the beautiful wall background of the room..
Bill came at 2.30am and we were charged around RM58, that’s a price for me only because it’s FREE for customer born in the year of Rabbit..And it was applicable to members only..
Finally we left at 3am, after a long-haul of 7-hours straight of karaoke session for just the two of us..We left also because we were tired of singing, not because they were closing..
It’s quite a norm for Red Box to let its customers stay if there is not many customers coming in after midnight..
So it all depends on your luck whether they are fully booked or have ample of vacant rooms to accommodate its incoming customers..
On a side note, Red Box in Low Yat Plaza offers Japanese songs with romanized lyrics, which is good for people like me, who love Japanese songs but aren’t able to read the Japanese!

Just the week before CNY, a group of us went to Wheels Roller Skating at Subang Avenue Shopping Mall..
Wheels Roller Skating Centre is a newly opened funky disco-themed skating rink ala 70′s disco style..
For those who’s not from Subang, just like me, Subang Avenue Shopping Mall is just beside Carrefour, the one next to Subang Parade..
It’s on 4th Floor, take the lift and go up straight to the skating centre..
Initially I made a mistake, thinking it’s an ice-skating rink but it turned out to be roller skates and in-line skates..
The price are pretty reasonable..
If only I’m residing in Subang or Sunway area, I would have purchased the monthly entry..It looks pretty reasonable if compared to the daily package..
But of course it will only worth it if one decided to skate every week and all..
Else the daily entrance fees are pretty good too..
If you want to save more, head over to Hahah.com.my to purchase the e-voucher worth RM25, which only costs you RM12! You save up RM13 for the daily skatings!
Just pay for the entrance fees, you can rent a pair of roller skates or blades for FREE! But make sure you remember to bring your own socks because that’s not for free..
For a start, I chose the roller blades because I thought it’s easier to balance as compared to the roller skates since I know how to ice-skate and it’s been 20-years since I last played roller skates..
But the blades here is a bit unusual because the brakes are at the front instead of the usual back-brakes..So I changed to roller skates, easier to handle..

After a fun hi-tea outing at Levain, I decided to bring Daphne to Alexis for she love cheese cakes a lot and I’ve heard a lot about Alexis so I guess it would be suffice to give it a try..
Been visiting Midvalley and Gardens for quite a number of times during that 1-2 weeks so I thought going to somewhere else would be fun and something new..
So I brought her to Alexis at Great Eastern Mall in Jalan Ampang..
*Alexis – Bistro, Wine Bar, and Jazz Club*
For her appetite and likings, I’m very sure Alexis is the right restaurant for her because she likes pasta and cheese cake a lot..
And due to certain reasons, we had our dinner around 9.30pm..Alexis opens til late (around 1-2am) so it’s a nice place to hang around for little bit of chit chatting..
To get to Great Eastern Mall, you can follow the Google Maps HERE..
*Daphne and her Domo-kun*
Ever since she got her first Domo-kun she just couldn’t let it go even for just a second..
Owh well, it’s her bird day big day so I guess it’s fine, like it’s just once in a year, why not.. 
*Yours truly*
It’s been quite some time since I last celebrated someone special’s birthday..Not trying too hard to make it great, something simple and cozy place is just right..
Not to forget, it was one of the very few nights that I felt silence on her BB 
Without further ado, we ordered our dinner..
*Beef Carbonara*
I ordered the Beef Carbonara, it was fantabulous! Very creamy and not too dry..Too bad Daphne cannot try her favourite Carbonara..We should go again next time and request for Chicken Carbonara!

First of all, congratulations to Daniel and Raven once again on their lovely wedding to mark a new beginning in their life together as husband and wife..
Known Raven for 9 years since the heydays of STPM..Time flies and everyone has moved on to a new journey in their life and Raven is the first from our batch to tie the knot on 20th November 2010..
If there’s a first, for sure there’ll be second, third and so forth..As expected, few more from our batch would tie the knot in 2011 should everything goes as planned..
Once we were close friends, and we shall remained as close friends for as long as can be..So I wish all of you all the best and we shall see each other again in such inaugral reunion dinner..
As promised, got up pretty early (on a Sunday) and headed to Raven’s house for the morning ceremony to be the unofficial photographer..
*Preparing for the games*
Here you can see all the maids of honor aka bridesmaid were busy getting their things ready because they didn’t prepare it earlier!
*The Ultimate Killer Drink*
This I call it the Ultimate Killer Drink, contained Pepsi Twist, raw eggs, chilli boh, and a bit of wasabi paste..
Now here’s a little story to the games they played in that morning..
We had a little gathering at Raven’s house the night before wedding, heard the plans from the one in-charge of the games, BeeYan..Few of us guys, weren’t very happy with the games..
Not that they were too cruel, but they were rather too lenient..So when all of the bridesmaids have left, few of us helped alter the games a bit here and there to make it much more interesting..
The Ultimate Killer Drink was one of them..I’ll continue with the games as we move on..
*The groom, Daniel*
Now, if you are an avid fan of Hong Kong TVB drama, you will definitely know who is this guy..Can be seen in Forensic Heroes 1 and 2 and many other notable drama where he’s usually with the police force..
Ok just kidding..He’s not that HK actor but I can tell you that Daniel is 90% looks exactly like that actor, Chou Weng Nin (or however you pronounce/spell his name), in terms of face sturcture and even his smile..
*The groom and his groomsmen*
The groom had his warriors groomsmen wore their ‘uniform’ ala football style, short pants, knee-length football socks and sports shoes..
Daniel had about 15 groomsmen with him that morning and I applaud to that..It’s not easy to gather your best warriors to help you get Rapunzel off the tower..
So back to the games..It’s understood that the games provided by the bridesmaids for the groomsmen is a symbol of support by the groomsmen to help the groom in anyway they could in order to marry the bride, or something like that..
Earlier, we were told that the elders might not like something to extreme or raunchy hence the lenient games..
We thought that marriage is a once in a lifetime thingy..So I think it’s okay to have some fun which is not too extreme just for the sake of a lovely event on a lovely day..
First off, we have this..
*Groomsmen in ugly briefs*
I know this is normal but it wasn’t even in the initial plan! Wicked I know..I had it on for Wilson’s wedding and now I’m on the audience’s side for something funny and interesting..
Then we had the groom to use a marker pen to write “Daniel <3 Raven” on the butts of his warriors by using his mouth..
Then we got them to kiss each other wtf..
Much more raunchy stuff after we’ve consulted the bridesmaids..

On 9th October 2010, the day after Jamie’s private surprise birthday dinner, we had another private surprise birthday dinner for Kelli..
This time it was at Jarrod & Rawlins at Damansara Heights in Jalan Dungun..It’s a cosy restaurant with a combination air-conditioned dining hall and also al fresco environment..
Long story short, again no food review in this entry but a simple warning, the sausages and roast pork (siew yuk) is the bomb! Pasta was good too..
*Cupcakes from WonderMilk and name card by Elaine*
The two early birds who were there to set up the balloons..
*Jenzten and Cassandra*
They were in-charge of preparing the balloons and some other party stuff..Then Daphne and I arrived, followed by April and Elaine..
After everyone has arrived, we were feasting on the awesome sausages and roast pork while waiting for Nigel ferrying Kelli from home..
Surprise party is the way to go..Normal parties or hit the club is a bit boring..
*L>R – Daphne, April, Elaine, Kelli*

Last Friday on 8th October 2010, the bunch of us gave Jamie a private surprise birthday party at Opus Bistro in Bangsar..
Not much of food review kinda thingy but more on a party post..
It was almost a failure because she was supposed to attend an event at Ecoba..Glad the boyfriend Didjital managed to somewhat tricked her to go somewhere else, which is to meet us..
Photos credit to Nigel‘s 550D and Ren‘s Leica Digilux 2..
*Balloon surprise*
There we have colorful balloons floating around for a more relaxing atmosphere in the cosy restaurant..
With time fixing and taking a detour from Ecoba, the time has come and we can’t wait to surprise her..
*Rise and salutation*
When Jamie and Didjital entered the bistro, we definitely surprised and we caught her off guard..
*Jamie and Didjital*
Well, the surprises to see the surprised face was priceless and it’s kinda fun to do this once in a while..
*Muka stimzzz*
I don’t know why but she looked stimz in this photo..By the way, Jamie always got high on helium balloons..You’ll know later on..
And so the camwhoring started before and after the food arrived..
*L>R – Joshua, Kelli, Daphne, yours truly*
The food there was kinda awesome and the pricing is around RM30-50 per pax for pasta..Not too sure bout steaks and others..
*Stormtrooper cupcakes*
Jamie is kinda well-known for loving cute things such as Domokun and many other things (can be seen in HERE)..
So we got her some customized Stormtrooper Cupcakes for something different *Imperial March theme playing in the background*..
More photos ahead and of course a recorded video!
