Nope, not a typo. I did not mean to type Cinta. It is Citta. The name of a mall in Ara Damansara area, en route to Subang airport. Been there several times with friends to hang out, to discuss and to taste great food.
So, ada apa dengan Citta? Ada macam-macam...
Ada PappaRich.
Once Hemy, Mas and I met, kengkonon to discuss about our coming Fantastic 40 which I mentioned in my previous post. Kengkonon sebab, bincangnya secoet je, cerita benda lain yang banyak.
Chicken rice
Dry curry mee
Mee goreng mamak (kot?). Kalau nampak yang tak de sayur ni, tau la siapa punya. Tak lain tak bukan, Hemy.
Otak-otak
Ntah apa ke nama, roti nan kot?
The drinks.
Dessert
We have also dined at Meatworks.
Soup
Shake
Watermelon and carrot juice
Sauteed mushroom
Steak sebelum dan selepas.
Pasta
Onion rings
Roast chicken
There's also Bubba Gump. Oh btw, I love the movie Forrest Gump.
The place specializes in shrimps thus tak sah la kalau tak makan shrimps. So we had pasta with shrimps.
The drink that I had.
Chawan pun ada.
The noodles. See in the background, nak makan pun sempat check FB notifications.
Fried rice
Menu yang ringan-ringan pun ada such as keropok lekor, pisang rebus, tauhu bakar.
Cucur udang with peanut sauce.
Rojak buah
ABC.
Those with sweet tooth, ada Tutti Frutti.
Lepas makan, konfem senyum manis macam kitorang.
And Wondermilk.
The range of mouth-watering cupcakes at Wondermilk.
Once, while in Chawan, Hemy bought these cupcakes from Wondermilk and we had it in Chawan. Suka-suka hati. Well, what to do, Chawan tak de kek cawan...ha ha...
Jauh cinta with Citta yet? Sesuai la kalau nak plan for berbuka puasa. Several choices to choose from. Selamat berbuka puasa and don't forget, berhenti sebelum kenyang.:)
STF batch 85-89 held a reunion dinner recently with the tagline Fantastic @40. It was a blast and I had fun. Prior to the dinner, organizing committee was formed and committee members were elected. Surprise..surprise...I was assigned the task of entertainment together with Hemy. Nowadays, besides singing lullaby to my kids, the one thing that I do which can be considered entertaining is giving lectures. Oh yes, those in the receiving end were sometimes completely entertained that they fell asleep. Ha ha...
Anyhow, Hemy and I planned for slide shows to be shown during the dinner. And we started compiling pictures of the past and pictures of the present. We had to stalk so many FB pages to get those pictures compiled and we had fun giggling over the old pictures yang muka masing-masing sungguh la innocent.
I wanted to arrange the slides using movie maker. I have watched my students did their movie during presentations complete with songs embedded and I was impressed. Thus I intend to impress the girls who are going to attend the dinner with similar kind of movie. Cheh... macam bagus sangat. Unfortunately, I have never used movie maker before. And I had to ask one of my students which program did they use for the movie. Rabun IT betul.
The date of the dinner approached and suddenly it was more or less week away. That was the time baru terkial-kial nak start belajar guna Windows movie maker. Luckily it was easy enough. And I love how easy it was to put in audio files and how I can edit the audio clip to match the slides transition. However, I learned some knowledge the hard way.
1. Creating a project file in 1 computer and trying to edit it in another computer caused frustration. The 2nd computer will fail to find the source files because the source files are in the 1st computer thus the files imported earlier will be shown as ugly big red Xs. Sungguh sakit hati.
2. Windows movie maker sometimes hang on me. Thank God for autorecovery, if not, I most probably had banged my head on the wall for not saving the work earlier. You know when you were so full of enthusiasm over your work and forget to save? Happened to me quite a number of times.
There are some other things that I learned along the way. As much as I enjoyed doing the movie, I had my moments of exasperation.
Anyhow, managed to complete the video. Here are snippets of the pics and movie that Hemy and I put together. Tak de le pro mana, sebab yang buat pun tak pro. :)
The vids have been edited and shortened. Tak boleh tunjuk semua sebab videos ni kategori 13SXF. (Sex female above 13 je boleh tengok). ;)
Here are some pics from the dinner.
It was held at Crown Plaza Hotel, on the 30th floor. Tingkat paling atas.
The banner
The room
The deco, arranged by our own girls.
The theme colour was purple hence we have lots of things in purple:
The cupcake
The gift bag
The cake
It was a very nice rainbow cake.
This was what I ate that night. There was a range of buffet menu however I only got these. Wasn't feeling that hungry anyway, seronok catching-up with the girls and bergambar sana sini.
It was a night to be remembered. And some of the girls have already suggested for it to be a yearly event. Ha ha... And Hemy volunteered to take charge of the entertainment again. Ewah..ewah...
The smartphones can be too smart for your own good at times. Once, when I was using iPhone, I despised the autocorrect function. Took me longer time to text since I have to correct the autocorrect. How ironic... Thus I disabled the autocorrect function. Abis cerita.
With Blackberry, there is some function of autocorrect but minimal. Anyway, kind of irritating when it happens.
eg
Usually I used shortforms like hr for hari, and the phone suka2 hati corrected it to hour.
At other times I used mn for mana. And of course, the BB could not tolerate so mn was changed to minute.
And yang paling tak boleh tahan, I am known as kak teh among my younger brothers and mak teh among my nieces and nephews. So, whenever I want to type kak teh or mak teh in my text message, the BB changed it to 'kak the' or 'mak the'. What the heck betul la kan...
Sometime ago, a friend shared her own typo story in FB. And it was very funny. Here's the story:
"Tadi saya tulis mesej pada seseorang yang disegani. Nak cakap yg saya dah ter call dia secara tak sengaja. Sepatutnya bunyi gini.. 'maaf ****, saya tertekan phone tadi. Tak berniat nak call'. Tapi nasib tak baik saya tertulis..'maaf ****, saya tertelan phone tadi. Tak berminat nak call'. Si polan balas 'are u ok? Tertelan phone is very serious!'
Ha ha.... I laughed out lout when I first read the story sampaikan my kids pun pelik. And I laughed again when I typed this just now.
Well, typo is one thing. Sent to the wrong person was another thing.
Once, I meant to bbm my hubby who was stuck in the office due to work. So I bbm this 'Lmbt ke balik? Tak masak tadi'.
Then the red alert of incoming message flashed. I thought it was my hubby replying but instead Hemy (high school friend) yang reply, 'So, nak suh aku msk ke?'
Ha ha... Of all people, I wrongly sent the message to her yang memang diketahui kekerapan dia masuk ke dapur amat sedikit.
That's what happened when you have several chat history in bbm...
Lessons learnt. Not only you have to spell-it-right, you also need to mind your fingers.
Talking about smartphones, the Samsung range of phones macam best je... (mode berangan nak tukar henfon baru...)
