Finally we met ..

Still very much in the festive moods, many Open Houses are taking place around the country. Spreads of delicious and calories-boosted food are being served to induce Raya guests to linger on a little bit more in celebrating the Eid Mubarak.

Last Saturday, CQ finally got to meet a little girl - Safiya Imani and her brother - Syafi Irfani, in their new house in Kampong Selayun. Both brother and sister are CQ's youngest blog follower and they do have a blog of their own.

LinkSafiya Emir meets Safiya Imani - we share the same first name :)





CQ's special guests, Iraqi-Swiss - Ikhlas and Omar, flew in on the eve of Syawal to experience Eid Mubarak for the first time in Brunei Darussalam.


Family and friends at CQ's crib :)

Hawaiian Night

The Theme was Hawaiian Night. Guests who came on the night of 25 July 2009 - were sportingly great in dressing up and created tidal waves of fun at the Serikandi Q-Lap Restaurant. So, what's the occasion?

It was a birthday bash for Senor Pablo. CQ was overwhelmed when Senor Pablo extended his invitation to CQ to celebrate our birthdays at the restaurant with families and friends.

Mr. ArabFamilies aka BinKhalid and Mr. LV aka Wais in their smashing Hawaiian outfits huhu ...


The Daboys were cool with Fejj and Marshmallow Boy made their HAwaiian-like head gear with fresh flowers. Funboy slipped a flower on his right ear - so cute eh :) ..hmm as Syam, he was cool in his floral shirt too.


Ahhh look at this table! They did dress-to-kill. Liza and Ida even wore floral bracelets on their wrists. Thumbs up for you guys :))

At any event, there is always something likely to happen, right? Well, CQ got to meet with CQ's former lady boss huhu ..yup! the lady on the far left. She looked gorgeous in her lime green baju kurung!


Ahhh this is Senor Pablo's birthday cake - profiteroles - made specially by beloved Bunny Pablo.

CQ got a cake too huhu - it was an assembly of vanilla chocolate chip cupcakes with fresh mango topping!! made by the Pablos, yummy. Thank you so much.


Yes! if it isn't the comic duo - Beracun and Pacik that made the party alive with their endless fun-craze antics and jokes. Roars of laughters and waves of giggles erupted that night. CQ's facial muscles and jaw were jammed at the end of the party huhu.


There were contests - Hawaiian dance, hula-hoop dance and the Best Dressed Male & Female.

You got to be there to see the contestants (above) with their hilarious yet creative dance steps to the beat of Hawaiian song.


Poco-poco dance is a must huhu...

Now, this post is kind of too late ...nevertheless CQ was so touched - well it brought tears to CQ's eyes - and appreciate the warm friendship with this super always-bubbly-cheerful young lady - Azura.


Azura presented this 'Friends' Award to CQ

Cuddly pandas

A friend emailed CQ these photos of cuddly pandas that are bred in China. Pandas are said to be a symbol of peace in China and probably around the globe too.

Considered endangered species, pandas are on the verge of extinction all around the world.

Female pandas are called sows, males are called boars and the young ones are called cubs.


Pandas are mammals. They have large heads, heavy body, rounded ears and short tails.

Take the best of it!

If you don't have any objective in life, any cause could be one.

There is always one who suffers more than you do,
so you should be optimistic.

A man will continue to act like a child until his mother's death,
then he will age in a sudden.

When you love your enemy is when he feels of his emptiness.

If you have been betrayed from behind the scene,
then you should be proud because
you are the only one who is in front.

The soft words are more powerful than the naked truth.

We are all like the bright moon, we still have the darker side.

The eye which doesn't know the meaning of tears,
it doesn't know anything of value.

Don't challenge someone who has nothing to lose.

If the loser keeps his smile,
the winner will loose the thrill of victory.

The gift of gab is a proof of jealousy.

No benefit of a right without a left.

The panic from a catastrophe is another catastrophe.

The smile a famous word without letters.

Be cheerful when getting-out as when you are coming-in.

Don't be a critic to your wife's taste,
she is the one who selected you in the first place.

You can't chase worries flying over your head but
you can do preventing them from nesting in your head.

The impossible can never become possible.

Dive with the shark but beware not to be swallowed.

Elocution is an art so let listening be a similar art.

The demeanour will be thrilled in finding
out a mistake of his great rival.

Every minute of anger will get you one more year older.

We have nostalgia of the past because it is gone.
If it comes back we would hate it.

The one whose ambition is great, so is his worries.

People feel small in the presence of some of the great personality,
yet the greatest is the one who let all around him feel great as well.

Chase two birds at the same time and you will lose both.

The woman is half the society and
the one who educates the other half.

For every word there is a listener and
probably my words don't suit your ears.
So please don't accuse me of being ambiguous.

Better set your path with a smile than with a sword.

As more higher up one rises to as
more clouds and problems will surround him.

Don't argue with an ignorant,
for it will be hard for people to differentiate between you.

The failure in planning will lead to planning in failure.

The coward will find 36 solutions to his problems
but the one he will like most is fleeing.

Better being a cub in the family of lions
than being a king of ostriches.

If you listen to the telltale you will lose the friend.

Always a friend =)

Someone shared the above with CQ
- literally it means - no matter who your friends are
..whether they are like bumble bees,
bed of roses,
jug of water,
moo-moo like cows,
sharpie like durians or
yummy biscuits
- they are still your friends.
Why? Because once you have made friends,
they will always be your friends.

Fresh Bulggogi

Going back to Singapore for holidays means catching up with families, close friends and former colleagues too.

CQ managed to spend some quality hours with best-girlfriends-forever-one-lehh ~ Jen and Shasha at the Fresh Bulggogi, located at the Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2. We were colleagues in RBA back in the late 90s' ...only Jen is still surviving huhuhu ...

Fresh Bulggogi ~ initially CQ had a hard time pronouncing Bulggogi lols. We had BBQ Steamboat.


It's so IT-based because you can place your order through the monitor screen ..oh yes! it comes with a mouse huhu ...like the computer mouse. It is very hip-hop! hehee..




On another day, CQ had late lunch at Secret Recipe @Vivo City with little brother and his family. Tagging along was Queen Za hehee ...

Caesar's Salad ~ it is very finger-licking delicious. And it is much tastier and 'fuller' than those served here =)

Look at what we ordered! Irish Lamb Stew, Ox-tail Stew, Fish & Chips, Grilled Mexican Chicken and Grilled black-pepper Chicken. Pasta Marinara was CQ's lunch.

kiwi and watermelon juices

ice cream for desserts ....adding calories!


CQ's other favorite restaurants include Han River ~ serving Korean table BBQ steamboat that include varieties of sushi and desserts. You can eat till you drop but now diners are given a time limit ..if not they can sit for long hours.


This is a place you can get good steaks. CQ was told (if CQ had heard correctly), Eatzi is a new name for the former Jack's Place?? hmmm if it is...then you should dig-in the steaks! huhuhu
