Hello 20



Goodbye teens, hello twenty!

No, guys. Today is not my birthday. My birthday was probably.. like a month ago HAHA. 

Sorry it took me so long to finally, LIKE FINALLY, blog about my birthday. But I'm here now!!

Oh my god, I'm 20 already. It feels like only yesterday I was 18, bracing myself for what's yet to come in college and now, 2 years has passed so quickly!

Ever since high school ended, I swear time pass by so fast even faster than Usain Bolt's running. 
SO tips for you guys (although you probably heard it a thousand time), treasure your high school years. Make the best out of it. 

A lot has changed in this 2 years. Heck, a lot has changed even in a few months. 

I'd say I have grown a lot over this 2 years, definitely matured more BAHAHA. If you guys seen my high school pictures.. damn I look like a bloody kiddo. Ok, maybe I do still look like a kid but hey, there has been some serious growing in my brain cells (or I think there is because I feel them twitching sometimes jk). 

Other than maturing, I think I have taken some serious steps towards self-improvement. Although I would say they had been baby steps, REAL baby steps. But on the bright side, at least there are some improvements like trying to exercise everyday to stay healthy so I can still indulge in food whenever I want (super glutton wei). You must be thinking that is good progress until you know that after 1 day of exercise, I take another 2 weeks off HAHAHA. 

Ok, enough with my short self-thoughts.

For my this year's birthday, I've decided to asked people out to eat or hang for my birthday. It's kind of a big deal for me because I think I'm the kind of person that waits for people to initiate something. 

But this year, it's time for things to change. We should always do stuff that we enjoy on our birthday, the week of our birthday or on any other days. But the main point here is, we. So, why wait around for your friends to ask you to hang? We are in-charge of our own happiness.

And that's what I did. Not in the sense that 'Hey guys, my birthday is this weekend. Let's hang' but just to catch up, hang or chill. I invited some of my friends to go grab lunch or to meet up and took it as we spent time together for my birthday. 

Honestly, it felt quite good. I feel good about myself. Also, this eliminates all the stupid expectations that we tend to build.

Not that all my friends are terrible or what, I mean, there are those that invited me out for dinner and I'm truly grateful for it. 

Its more of a personal feeling - to feel empower, that I am making choices for my own happiness instead of waiting or letting others make it for me. 

OMG so much deep talk in one post, this has got to stop haha.

Coming back to my birthday. My family and I had a nice lunch at Honest Bakery USJ for my birthday. The bakery is loacted at the factories area nearby my place. They have some real good pasta at an affordable price *thumbs up BIG TIME.



I forgotten the tea name but its super cool like whuutt... Redish pink tea??


Aglio - Olio Mushroom Spaghetti 

This is definitely worth a try, Hui recommend!


Mushroom Carbonara Spaghetti


Wild Mushroom Spaghetti


Zuchini & Eggplant Spaghetti

This actually taste way nicer than it sounds HAHA.


Creamy macaroni (but they ran out of macaroni and replaced it with pasta for us) served along with scrambled eggs and baked beans!

Yums, bon appetit! 

So far, all the pasta I ate at this bakery's are really good, so fret not when you're feeling adventurous in trying something new! 

Feel free to visit them at:

26, Jalan Tiara 1, Tiara Square,
Taman Perindustrian, Subang Jaya, 
Selangor 47600

Just a heads up for you guys, their bakery sign is a bit small so you might overlook it. AND I would recommend you guys to go during noon on Saturdays (not sure what are their closing time). They have a slight difference in their ingredients used during weekdays and weekends. 

After lunch, I had plans with my friends and guess what?

THEY FFK-

kidding!

They turned up at my place with 20 pink helium balloons!!! 20 PINK HELIUM BALLOONS HAHAHAHA. Never in my life have I ever received so many helium balloons or even balloons.

Since I got so many balloons, picture is a must! Can't let all these precious balloons go to waste right.




Gang Mata Sepet

We were actually half-melting under the scorching sun for these pictures HAHA. #stillworthit

They also got me a few slices of delicious cake to eat AND a bear-looking cake!! So adorable


After done melting in the sun, we went to Pavilion. They had some sort of tsum tsum fair and my friend, my god, she's crazy over tsum tsum's characters haha.

Anyway, we had a nice meal..


Udon dinner at Pavilion

Until one of the saddest thing happened.. 


I dropped the cake box.

I SWEAR it was not on purpose. The restaurant stated no outside food so I felt bad if I put the cake box on the table hence, I decided to put in on the chair.. with my bag. And as I was digging through my bag, it fell. 

GREAT. GOOD JOB JINHUI. YOU HAD ONE JOB.

I feel so sad OK. Look at my precious cakes!!! T___T 

It doesn't stop my friend from going tsum tsum cray though, so I have to quickly pull myself together and ciao to tsum tsum fair. Imagine my sea of saddness pls HAHA.

Lastly, some pictures to share:





I think my head fits well with the balloons, so round like them HAHA

Ok, I think this is enough for one day so I'll continue my part II another time. 

Until then, stay tuned!

xx, hui.

Uncle Rani's Chicken Farm

Greetings earthlings! It has been awhile. I hope you guys still stalk me from time to time... (kidding!) 

This time my escapade is to...

 Uncle Rani's Chicken Farm! 
(you guys didn't think I would show up empty-handed, did you? haha)


The first thing that greeted me at the farm was obviously, chicken smell and their poop. Super welcoming right HAHA. Secondly, was the dogs. They're super human-friendly you know!!

So I quickly toss my camera to my sister and ask her to take a picture of them cute dog and me mwahahaha 


Another selfie with this kind-hearted creature


Apparently, it does not look amused or even a slight sense of delight to have its picture taken with me aih. Fine. I'll leave you alone for now..

We proceed on our journey and ta-da!


to the Chicken Farm!


Hello there, fellow friends!


Honestly, all I can see are fried chicken. Just look at them.. so fat and juicy, then look at this:


They DO look like ok!!

It seems like I have the tendency to make them look like food...

BUT in my defence, they do ended up as food.


Roasted chicken



Auntie style of packed and bring your own vegetables LOL


Pak Chiam Kai (or known as chinese poached chicken)


Curry fish with okra and eggplant.


Fried omelette.

After all the food, we went for a walk and guess what I found hiding!!


A wild turkey appeared!!

This really brings back memories to back in the days where my maternal grandma was living back in my hometown. Her house's backyard was a small chicken farm and I remember chasing the turkeys last time because I find them really arrogant and cocky AND they bully the other chickens ok!!

So I decided to take things into my own hands and chase them away HAHAHAHAHA. Ok, I sound evil but really, this is all done with good intentions - to protect the other fellow chickens.

Trust me. HAHAHA

Anyway, Uncle Rani's Chicken Farm is a nice place for family trips. It is really an eye-opening place for city kids like us (ok, half city because I chased turkeys before) to experience this kind of environment. It is a place of good food so don't hesitate to make a trip there next time!

You can also pre-order fresh chicken to take home and cook. It's like killing 2 birds with 1 stone for moms, chicken "marketing" and family outing haha.

FYI - make sure to make reservations first if you're dining because they need to prepare the chickens for you guys.

You can contact them at:

+6016 227 7011 or +6016 410 0856  

and visit them at:

Lot 1280, Lorong Dato Abu Bakar, Kampung Gombak,
48050, Rawang, Selangor, Malaysia.

You can just search Uncle Rani Chicken Farm on waze too!

Signing off with ma banana leaf.

x, hui.
