Busy bee-ing part 2

Yes, I know I haven't been updating. No! I am NOT lazyyyy.. I am merely TIREDDD! There's a difference wingy! Ok...Yes..Very over-dued post about the Sunday outing... HAPPY, wing? While your'e out at skybar, I'm here updating!

So, my mother has been going on how uber-ly awesome these EGG tarts in Canton-i @ 1Utama is. It's like the sister-restaurant of Dragon-i. Anyway, we went there for lunch since I needed to look for luggage and boots from Aldo but that's another story later....So...

Welcome to CANTON-I. It's the restaurant opposite Burger King in 1Utama. You see the chefs at work right at the front because it's all glass. It's a such a sales-magnet gimmick that everyone is so into now. But I have to admit that they did a good job of it. The siew yook and the char siew on display looks so tentalizing to the taste buds you're just drawn to eat there! I wonder what some people would do without pork! especially my family. I swear I think they can go crazy...




The youngest sibling, SlayerTalon together with the Eldest in the family Motherdearest who everyone coincidentally thinks is the youngest girl in the family. My excuse: "She's my mother! She is OLD!"
So cute. right?
Their food portion is reasonable for the price. The siew yook as you can see is HUGE compared to other places nowadays. I hate it that they raise the prices AND give you smaller portions. It's like frustrating..So potong stim!!! Knowing that petrol is now up 78cents to rm 2.70 a litre is just going to make things worse and yes, this is a story for another time. Anyway, the mee here has got a lil herby taste to it..And the green chilli is ALWAYS there on the table so you can take as much as you like especially for people like me who can't live a day without chilly. They cut really big pieces of it too! :)

The awaited egg tarts...I have to say that my mom was right. It was realllyyyyyy goood.. I had like 3 tarts. The pastry I think is what gives it such an over-the-top taste. It's flaky - not like other egg tart pastries. And when it's served hot like how it is there, it just makes it all perfect like how people in those adds bite into something and have that "Oh, my god this is the best thing I have EVER tasted" look with their eyes closed while licking their lips..Yeah..that feeling...
It was so hot, Talon burnt the top of his mouth. Hehehe..We had to put down ours for a while before we took it up again..

After lunch, motherdearest decides to bring us to her office which is just next to 1Utama in the IBM building - and might I add - at the PENThouse. I hear they pay like RM130,000 a MONTH for rent? Like...Jeeezzzzz.... The things I could do with that money... Anyway, this time...

Welcome to B Braun...

These parrot fishes greet you when you enter. They're so cute! But so scared. They ALL swim away to one corner whenever someone comes near the aquarium. Some simple and cool deco at the FIRST hang out area... They have like 3 hang out areas..Indoor and outdoor... You pick!BigMama (my grandmother) and motherdearest testing out the chairs - actually they were just tired after walking around 1Utama.
Okayy...This is what I call a PANTRY! Look at that round-bartender-ish looking table and the colour schemes and don't get me started on the coffee machine andddddd alcohol they have stocked around. Okay, so they don't have thatttttt much of great alcohol but at least they have it!


with more than enough wine glasses to go around too....


The outside hang out area is simple. Just some chairs and tables with a water feature and some plants to make the place look a lil less of a drab...

We were all enjoying the breeze outside. It would be soooooo cool to work here. I could sit out here and read and with the wind constantly there...Syok-ness... "Just because 1Utama is next door doesn't mean I'll be shopping everyday!"

Some sights you see from the balconies

Yeap, the ever-constant jammed up -except for today - highway... Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong or better known as LDP.

From sightseeing, we became all serious because we wanted to meet the "geniuses of the past". Guess who these people are...
Picture 1
If you don't know this guy, I'll kick you.
Picture 2
If you don't know this guy either, you seriously need to buck up on your history.
Picture 3
Ok...I have think a while.... "Thanks to a certain someone for correcting me"...It's Nikola Tesla - the guy that invented the fluorescent tube as we know it. I won't sue you for not knowing this because neither did I...Hehe
Picture 4
Hehe.. Ok..If you don't know them, then you haven't been reading much of my blog. That's SlayerTalon and my brother Sean also known as Mr. Buff.
Picture 5
Hehehe...Let me give you guys a clue: In Russell Peters' voice "Confucious say yeww go to jail, bad boy!"

I find it so cool they have all this up in the training rooms. It's like unintentionally yet intentionally saying "Aim high like them man" or bluntly saying "Why the hell aren't you as smart as them?" Hahahaha

So finally I find motherdearest's place. She has like the best spot. It's next to the window!! "She's got the room with a view" not literally but close enough...

"I just needed to look for my brother's jacket.":)She looks out to see One World Hotel. and other surrounding bulidings of course....We started testing out the chair because they looked nice. And they were pretty comfy!...The, we headed over to the show room which was all nice but a lil scarry if you had some weird-haired man bring you to see the showroom. It's all the hospital equipments. So, I hope you get my drift. This, I think is used to help pull the baby out from the mother's womb or something like that... I'm not really sure.....
Some other weird stuff... Every utensil has one made out of gold. And this is one of them.
"Oh look - a sofa"
And they had dolls dressed up as nurses. Isn't that scary?
You think so?... It's pretty much ALMOSTTTT there...

So, after giving motherdearest our pleasure of seeing her work place. We head on down to look for Sean's jeans. Apparently, there's a reptile house or something at 1Utama which I obviously didn't know about... But I saw some of these on display outside. I think snakes are so beautiful. At least these ones. Not being biased since I'm born in the year of the snake or anything but just look at their skins. What other animal has that kinda colours and patterns for their skin?The bigger version of the green tree python.
This hedgehog is soooooooooo kawaii!.... Hehehe...
This fella...well, I don't exactly know why my mother asked me to take a picture of this fella but I did anyway.. And he properly deserves a little credit so I uploaded his pic up here... I really don't like animals being in cages... It's just so cruel. I mean, can you imagine being stuck in your room. You are given food, shelter, water and all that is needed to survive EXCEPT for your freedom. Think about it.

Stand up! for ya...
You gotta stand up for your rights!
