Xantana -- Restaurant Review

I'm not much of a food critic, so this post i think is not so much of a review because you won't find any pictures of food here, I'm actually more interested in the deco of the restaurant. XD

This place is situated across the street from Hotel Grand Crystal. Don't know where is it? I also don't know how to explain.



If anyone is interested to come, please find a map, or contact me. Maybe I'll bring you to the restaurant for a meal, but its YOUR treat! muahahaha~

Check out some "exterior" shots....

Okay I know the shots are wierd.

Nevermind, I got some interior shots, REAL interior shots ;p


The interior is quite dark, unless you're here for a private chat or just hanging out. If you want to really have a meal, I recommend you take outside tables.

About the food:
Their specialty? Chicken chop and seafood tomyam.
Is it good? Yes.
Quantity: pretty much and satisfying.
Price? Reasonably CHEAP.
Will I go there again? Yes.
Rating: ★★★★☆

So...anyone hungry?

Lee Sum Wan : Well just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother was involved in an accident. Noe Wan got injured and now Noe wan is being sent to the hospital. Right now Avery Wan is going to the hospital.

Oh!!! So THAT'S Globalisation!

Dear readers,

I'm just plain bored so that's why I'm posting random stuff. Please enjoy :)

Question:
What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer:
Princess Diana's death.

Question:
How come?

Answer :
An English princess
with an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French tunnel,
riding in a German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian
who was drunk on Scottish whisky,
(check the bottle before you
change the spelling),
followed closely by Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles,
treated by an American doctor,
using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent by a Canadian,
And forwarded to you by A Bulgarian
using American Bill Gates' technology,
and you're probably reading this on your computer,
that uses Taiwanese chips,
and a Korean monitor,
assembled by Bangladeshi workers
At a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian truck drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.... .

That, my friends, is Globalization !

Celina and Eshlyn conversation : Tension

Tension.

Eshlyn: Why?

There’s just so much stuff going on.

You’re talking about Impactors right? I thought things are better now?

Well…yeah. But there’s still many things bothering me.

Well the drama team conflict is slowly resolving, that’s a good thing. What did you got from this case?

I felt the relationship between some individual Impactors are shaken, including mine. It seems like most are pointing fingers at me.

But it’s not all your fault right? Almost everyone have a fault somehow, well I’m a bit confused too because I’m part of you anyway.

Haha… Yeah, but I still feel real bad. There’s something else that isn’t right with all these things happening. I just realized some time ago that the devil is trying to pull strings in our youth fellowship and break us down. This isn’t a usual thing as far as I can remember, it just happened quite recently between last year and this year.

Hm… Oh! I ‘v got something! The vision of the Great Banquet! Isn’t it an interchurch youth project? We’ve been talking about unity between churches and how important it is to be united.

Yeah, you’re right. That could be it! I heard a prophecy that the youth of FGC will be the ones rising up to lead the revival wave in the city of Alor Star. So that’s why the devil is targeting us?

That could precisely be the point. Though the dilemma may look like it’s a present issue, it can affect the future! This is serious! Breaking down the unity and good relationship between Impactors will so gonna have ugly consequences. No way this is happening! Could it be because the revival is delayed or we’re not chosen anymore or…or…

Shut up Eshlyn! Quit being so negative! What God plans we don’t know for sure, but His plans will definitely come to pass if we just trust in Him.

Ok ok. Maybe this could be a time of testing and shaping us. This is so depressing and hard. Celina, I wonder why it’s my turn to get depressed.

Be at peace, girl. God won’t allow that devil creep bully more than we can handle, but we still got to be careful by the way. For bigger plans or not, Impactors got to gear up for the War of the Eternal!

I’ve suddenly remembered a saying from the movie “Facing the Giants”, the coach said: WE LOSE, WE PRAISE HIM; WE WIN, WE PRAISE HIM.

I like that. God help us! I hope typing this will help explain more to others what’s happening.

Yeah, this approach is definitely easier than speaking face to face, especially discussing this with Impactors. *sigh~ Anyway, God help us.

Alright Eshlyn, thanks for being there for me, you’re a great company.

Don’t thank me, thank God!

So what....is your Flaw-List?

Ever heard people back stabbing you? Yes? Ever heard friends back stabbing you? Yes? Ever heard close friends back stabbing you? Yes? I got two words for you my friend..

SO WHAT?

Welcome to the realm of the ugly human nature. You agree? No? Let’s see if you agree with this statement: No one is perfect. Agree? Yes. So, you’ll have to agree that the human nature is real ugly.

Now, I’m not trying to be rude by saying “so what”, the point I want to make through that statement is that, if you’ve HAD or you ARE wallowing in self pity because of the ugly things people say about you, wake up and realize that you’re not the only one. Somehow somewhere there’ll be another person going through the same thing.
Angry? Yes. Sad? Yes. Disappointed? Yes
I’ve read a book called “By Searching” by Isobel Kuhn, the following was written when she was writing a letter to a friend about how she was accused of her bad qualities, and this was her friend’s reply:

“Isobel,” he wrote, “What surprised me the most of all was your attitude in this matter. You sound bitter and resentful. Why, if anyone had said to me, ‘Roy B. you are proud, disobedient and a troublemaker,’ I would answer: ‘Amen, brother! And even then you haven’t said the half of it!’ What good thing is there in any of us, anyway? We only have victory over these things as we bring them one by one to the Cross and ask our Lord to crucify it for us.”

Amazing! He was not afraid to season his words with salt even as he did not forget to speak with grace also.

Here’s a list about the flaws I have (I’m gonna be very honest here):
Proud Disobedient Troublemaker Disrespectful Rude Insensitive Impulsive Judgemental Lazy Irresponsible Critical Know-it-all Withholding Dishonest

Seriously, I’m dishonest, though I said “very honest” in my (). Any other flaw I left out? Care to point it out for me anyone? I would also want to ask for forgiveness from anyone I’ve offended.

All thanks to the Lord Jesus for His great love and forgiveness.

Meet Birthday Boy Ben! Boy Gone Bananas*

First of all I would like to apologize to Ben (if he'd ever found out) that I posted photos of him here. Reason? He told me not to post his photos in Facebook so I took the liberty to post them in Blogger! *evil chuckle~

Secondly, a very happy, blessed, wonderful, fun, awesome, merry, lovely, terrific, fantastic birthday to my little brother Ben! By the way, that's not his real name actually, that's just his nick name. Haha~ Ben, say "hi" to our viewers here.

Sorry folks, Ben settled for "peek-a-boo" instead.

For your info, he just turned 11. After having many feed backs on how cute he is, I've decided to post more pictures of him to entertain the "Ben fans".

Did I mention Ben is photogenic? Below are self snaps taken with my mom's cellphone:Oh, he has acting talent too, look here:

Monsieur or mademoiselle? You pick XD

Here's a very short video of him:

Weird? Let me explain, he was playing with my camera and he didn't realize that it was on "video mode"! Here's another "blur" video of him while cam-whoring:



Ben is so photogenic that I'm tempted to think that he has modeling talent!Okay okay! Enough of him! Guess I'll stop now or else I'll get this face from him:

God bless you Ben!

Snap! New Hairdo for New Year Anyone?

This is the day Celina 1st dyed her hair! Okay I'm not trying to show off here because I don't think its SO impressive, but just to satisfy your curiosity, here's some snaps :)

Now you see it, now you don't! Haha! I actually wanted to dye it bright orange (to match my personality) but too bad its not available at where I did my hair (they say its not common). Oh well, enjoy the shots and comment if you want (especially Sakai Head XD).

Chinese New Year here I come!
