Cross stitching is not as easy as it seem. You need lots of concentration and energy during the process. Today is not a good day for me as I start losing concentration due to not enough sleep, end up I'd stitched a few wrong knots. Anyway, i think today was a good progress.
One of my Christmas present received this year is a pack of cross stitch (a pink sleeping doggy) from Dalian, China. After few days it lie on my desk, its time to unpack and start working on it. So, here we go~

It had been a month since the opening of 1st Avenue develop by BelleView Group and finally I got the chance to visit this new plaza.
I'm excited to visit the place after browsing through the comment in forum. It did not let me down after all, it is even better that what I had expected.
The plaza had left me with a very nice memory even before i step into the plaza. When I'm entering the car park, I follow the security guard direction to enter through the lane that was empty. Once I'm at the ticket machine and press on the "Take Ticket" button, the LED display showing "No Tickets". End up I need to press the help button and at the same time signal the security guard about the machine that out of ticket. The security guard was good and he respond quickly to my concern and he direct me back to another lane which is working fine without letting me wait for the technician at my lane.
I'm impressed with the overall design of the multi-level car park. The walkway was very smooth and you won't feel much vibration compare with other plaza like Gurney and Time Square when you turning up to the multi-level car park.
Finally, I have my very first step on 1st Avenue and it is time to hunt for food. After loitering around the plaza, me and my mum decided to have our dinner at Master Choo Kitchen. This restaurant is the first restaurant in Penang and they have branches in Sungai Petani and Kulim.
When we enter the restaurant, we felt it is a bit warm, I think this is because the central air condition was not cold enough. But, thanks god, we sitting near a cooler, so at least it manage temporary cool us until we left the restaurant.

Nice craft on the order holder
I'd ordered a cup of Ying Yong (Coffee mixed with Tea) and a Korean Pickle Mee Soup while my mum ordered a cup of hot Milo and Chinese Cage Green Curry Cheese Drumstick Baked Rice. After waiting for 15minutes, our beverage was here follow by my mee. The waiter informed us that the baked cheese rice will required more time to bake the cheese and the last order reach after 5minutes.

Nice cup
The food was nice, just it is a bit salty for me and my mum. Overall the restaurant is good but I hope they can improve the on the warmness in the restaurant and also can serve faster on the beverage.
Before we left the plaza, we went to Roti Boy to grab Mexico Bun as our breakfast for tomorrow.

When I look up at the sky The stars, see, are sparkling Each giving off its own light Like the people on this planet Yeah, so I, too Want to shine particularly bright I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart And entrust my dreams to that shooting star
I’m in my usual park I can see the night scenery On the slide That’s been my special seat for years Whenever I’m worried about something, I come here Just like then, I’m on my way to my dreams But unable to fulfil them “Maybe this is the end of the line” There are days when I say weak things like that But every time, I remember That starry sky where I looked for a shooting star The wish I made when I was little Hasn’t changed even now
When I look up at the sky The stars, see, are sparkling Each giving off its own light Like the people on this planet Yeah, so I, too Want to shine particularly bright I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart And entrust my dreams to that shooting star
Hiding out in the schoolyard at night with my mates We climbed the chain-link fence The field seemed to have a different face than during the day We headed for our sea called the pool We didn’t have swimming trunks, so we were all stark naked Someone jumped in with a strange yell The splash echoed through the night “After him!” Everyone else piled in We floated gently, looking up at the sky Looked at the stars in front of us, and talked about heaps of dreams And looked for that shooting star
When I look up at the sky The stars, see, are sparkling Each giving off its own light Like the people on this planet Yeah, so I, too Want to shine particularly bright I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart And entrust my dreams to that shooting star
Looking up at the sky, there are countless stars The same number now that there was years ago My dreams are endless and crazy Incredibly bright, like that star
Hey! If you keep hanging your head like that You won’t even be able to see the things you can see Look up at the sky, keep your head up!! Hey! “What do you think of the sky you see?” Someday, like that shining star… I wanna shine
When I look up at the sky The stars, see, are sparkling Each giving off its own light Like the people on this planet Yeah, so I, too Want to shine particularly bright I close my eyes and make a vow in my heart And entrust my dreams to that shooting star

Recently I just love the Apple products, there are the iPad and the iPod Nano that caught my eyes.
I saw iPod Nano few months ago in Gurney Plaza, Apple Retailer Store. At first, the iPod Nano 5th Generation with voice recording function, camera and video playback that caught my attention. Later on I Google for it and found out that iPod Nano 6th Generation can turn into a watch with a wristband. Since then I always dream about it.....
As for iPad, I like its portability, multi-sense touch screen and last but not least the multimedia applications for it. Just imagine u are lying on your sofa while reading an e-book from your iPad or playing Plant Vs Zombie.
However, I did not take any action to go for this product so far as I see there are room for improvement for both products.
My opinion of what lacking in this two electronic gadgets:
iPod Nano 6th Generation
- No bluetooth
- No video playback
- No voice recording
- Camera (not weight so heavy for this)
iPad
- No camera
- No USB
Hence, I'm putting my bet for the coming iPad 2nd Generation (rumours - Feb 2011) and iPod Nano 7th Generation (Sep 2011). Hope they will not let me down.
Objective: To get electronic gadgets from Apple by December 2011.
Target: 1. iPad 2nd Generation (WiFi + 3G - 32G) 2. iPod Nano 6th Generation or 7th Generation 16G (which provide the better specification)
Plan: 1. Save a minimum of RM 1.5K in Fixed Deposit with a 3 months tenure by end of January 2011 2. Save a minimum of RM 1.5K in Fixed Deposit with a 3 months tenure by end of June 2011
Projected Outcome: 1. iPad purchased by end of December 2011 2. iPod Nano purchased by end of December 2011 Financial Breakdown: 1. Excluding the interest earn from Fixed Deposit, Total income = RM 3K 2. Deduct the amount for iPad, RM 2.3K = RM 700 3. Deduct the amount for iPod Nano, RM 700 = RM 0
