Mmmmm... Donuts!

When I was buying groceries after work, I saw this donut place that my office mate told me about. Went into the place and wanted to order 3 donuts but I ended up with 6 donuts instead. In case you're counting the donuts in the picture, there's only 5 there. The 6th donut (Snow White) has been devoured by me :) It's a nice and cosy environment to relax and enjoy the donuts and boy, the donuts tastes real good! Good stuff...

Azlin & Hakim Happily Married on the 17th of January 2009

Went to Muar Town (also referred as Bandar Maharani) in Johor with 3 of my friends to attend a 'Kenduri Kahwin' of my long time friend, Azlin whom I have known since 1992. The ceremony was very lively with traditional Malay dancers entertaining the event. Azlin and her husband looked very elegant in their traditional Malay dress.

After attending our friend's wedding, we went to Tanjung Emas where we took some pictures.

The Sultan Ismail Mosque at Tanjung Agas.

We had some light snacks before heading for our early dinner.

After the photoshoot, we went for 'Murtabak Singapura' located on the other side of Sungai Muar (Muar River), Tanjung Agas.

Moments before digging in... Murtabak originated in India or possibly the Middle East. The one we're having was made of minced beef, onion, garlic, lotsa eggs and some other spices.

New Shoes For My Baby

It's been long overdue but finally I got to change all my baby's tires last week. I was glad I did so as I found out during the installation, one of the tires was so badly worn out that steel wires were showing!

My previous tires were Dunlop Direzza DZ101s which performed ok. This time around I went for Yokohama S.Drives 205/40/R17. The performance was even better! The ride comfort was better and felt my car attack corners like it was on rails. I haven't tried it in the rain though. So far I've clocked close to 1000km and I'm very satisfied with the performance.
