November 5 App Club

Our karaoke session last month was still fresh in the memory, yet we are celebrating today for the 5 app club.

As usual, to make our money worth, we decided to meet at Popular bookstore to buy each and every one a book. We arrived at Jusco Popular Bookstore at Kepong around 6.30pm and started looking for the one book we can only buy. The most popular book has got to be 'Tai Chen Che', a famous Taiwanese author/speaker on motivation.

We spent approximately RM224.00 at Popular and up next, we gathered for dinner at Kar Lok Fok Restaurant. It was a pretty decent meal for 2 tables. The main dish consists of bittergourd with fried salted egg, garlic chilli crab (rm20/kg), mayonaise spare ribs, fried veggie, clay pot tauhu, and 'foo yong' egg. Since the dishes were tantalising and delicious, it's not enough for everyone, we had to quickly cut the birthday cake to fill our stomach right away.

This month, we specially spent this occasion to celebrate Jessica and Ai Tee's birthday on 14 and 21 respectively.

Overall, we had a great time at Popular and 'Ho Chiak'
  

September & October 2010, 5 App club

It's been quite a while ... but since i was a bit busy last two month, including this month as well, let me just summarize what we did on the month of September and Oct 2010.

In September:
Our agents demanded that they want to sing karaoke .... so we went to Neway at Times Square for that special day. It was fun to gather so many of us and celebrating september month babies!

In October:

Haha, this is pretty recent i believe, so i can vividly remembered what happened. Oh well, this month was our cinema outing month, being the first time going out for movie with the members were exhilarating... so many of us, around 14 in total. Bought so many popcorns, chickedees (Adeline's favourite) & drinks.

The movie: Detective Dee starring Andy Lau and Lau Kar Leng. With an interesting plot, the whole movie managed to captivate the audience including myself, to stay awake and enjoyed the movie till the end. If you have not seen it yet, i believe you will enjoy the sound system, fighting scene, multimedia and beautiful scenery. 

Later on, we proceed to Kim Gary for dinner at Mid Valley.

Fatty Crab, Taman Megah

Dear GnextPower members,

What a 'magnifi-seven' night !! Still remember what game we played just now, Lucky number '7'. We had almost everyone 'fooled' with that game, and ended Jessica being the 'biggest loser' in the eating competition. Jess, i think you had approx. 3 satays, 1 bread, 1 drumlet. 

Well, to those who are wondering what happen or didn't join in the fun tonight, our usual 5-app club celebrated this evening at Fatty Crab @ Taman Megah. This time we have in total 9 Qualifiers achieving min 5 app submission in the month of June 2010. Our record breaking month for having the most number of qualifiers since it was launched this year.

Let us congratulate

1) Sherron Lam KL Aphelion

2) Michael Ng KL Aphelion 

3) Law Chai Wei KL Ai Tee

4) Jessy Ng KL Ai Tee

5) Janice Chern KL Jess
6) Janice Wong KL Jess
7) Khoo Chang Siang KL Jess2
8) Joelle Teh KL Terry
9) Daniel Wong KL Terry     

It was a fun packed night with around 8 of us arriving early as usual, we started ordering the starters consisting of its famous chicken wing. Its succulent taste and aroma immediately took control of our gastronomical delight. Soon, the satays and fried rice filled our stomach.

The main dish was the evertasting, fatty crab in two recipes. We started off with the sweet n spicy crab.Then, followed by the steamed crab. Both were equally good and soon, we started ordering more and more dishes. In total, we ate 60 sticks of satays, 33 chicken wings n drumlets, 2 red snappers, 3 plates of fried rice, 3 plates of toast bread, and amazingly I got confused with the 'yat kan' versus 'yat kilo' for the gigantic crab. Our dear Joelle highlighted that 'yat kan' equals to 600gram so we ordered 'sap kan'(6 kilos) of crabs to share. 

The most memorable had to be the finale of course, yet it was not the food, but on the punishment to those who say out the number '7' or multiple of '7', the person has to eat one of the leftovers. So when the number '7', '14', '17', '21', etc... were called out, the person will be punished to eat the lefovers. 

Soon, everyone burst into laughters as most of us easily made mistakes in the number 7. We could not contain ourselves, as we never thought we can be easily fooled by number '7' and the whole restaurant was filled with our loudest cheer and noise. The restaurant patrons were easily agitated with our incessant noise, each time one of us were to be punished with the leftover, our energy/noise level was so strong, it could even be heard on the shops next door. 

It was a great stress reliever and I cannot imagine such a simple game can bring 'life' & 'action' into our group. All in all, it was a memorable and great fellowship among our members. After this night outing for the first time qualifiers, they will definately pursue the next month challenge. 

So, see you guys again for our next 5 app challenge. Be sure to achieve your commitment !    

Times Square Outing

This time around, we organised the best herbal soup you can ever get in Kuala Lumpur. It's location is very unique, dining under a giant tree, nestled between Shaw Parade in Pudu and Times Square. 

We started off with dinner around 6.30 pm by ordering coconut herbal chicken, one of the best i have tasted so far. It's actually a very simple concoction of chicken, wolfberry, 'yok choy' (chinese herbs), and steamed inside the coconut husks, simply delivers the blend of flavours that is tantalising to our taste bud. You may smell the aroma of sweet coconut and truly enough, after a hard day's work, you can sit and relax to enjoy the herbal soup. 

Besides this, we also tried the famous, Chinese Water Turtle Soup. This delicacy is famous among chinese community to promote yin energy tonic, from the soft shell turtle. In chinese we call it 'sui yi thong'

There is also black chicken soup to strenghten your body and can be consumed frequently if you have no time for ginseng.

Beside soup orders, we tried the chicken leg with gigantic mushrooms, spare ribs curry and 'mui choy kaw yuk'. (see picture above) 

After a hearty meal with everyone almost full stomach, we proceed with our bowling tournament around 8pm. There are a lot of virgin bowlers around the lanes this time, and the antics and drama, we managed to attract lots of attention from the public even though our score are pretty amateur. 

After around an hour, the game ended with more and more strikes and our iron lady, Sherron almost beat our men's team Daniel. The ladies are fun to watch, their actions, style, and posture makes the whole bowling alley lively from a dull moment to suddenly becoming an attraction ! 

Even more so, we have prizes to be given away to the champion and 1st runner up to the men's and women's category. 

Let us congratulate, 

Women's Catergory

Champion: Sherron Lam 

1st Runner up: Joelle Teh

Men's Category 

Champion: Francis Lim

1st Runner up: Daniel Wong

Wait.... the event has not ended yet.... we later on, proceed to Old Town White Coffee for supper. 

All in all, we really kill the bird with many stones ! With just a simple outing, we managed to have so much fun, good food, energised our body with the herbal soup and prepare ourselves ready for July's challenge and more fun to come.    

Keep it up, you guys !!

Foot Reflexology

Hi guys, do you enjoy our foot massage at wan hsing at kepong earlier on....?

For those who cried out loud(you know who you are), hope you enjoy it. It was a fun outing to celebrate, agents who achieve min 5 policies submitted in month of Jan. 

For those who didn't turn up, we headed for steamboat next to Carrefour Kepong. It was 'delicious', we ate practically everything that was being served. 

I made a suggestion to organise another outing on the second quarter by having a bowling tournament with prizes to be won. So look out for more details in our coming meetings. It will be fun as the bowling got no 'longkang', so you are sure to knock the 'pins' down !

AIA Annual Award Dinner 2008

An extravaganza nite to be remembered for AIA annual dinner award 2008 on 9th Oct 2009 at Shangrila Hotel, KL.

Even though the event was held at a near closing of 2009, it was worth the wait as recipients/awardees were treated with A-star treatment. Entitled 'Bond Nite', guests were welcomed to the event floor with numerous surprises, we have emcees comparable to stars we see on TV/E-entertainment news such as host 'Ryan Seacrest' where agents walk down the aisle in RED carpet and have celebrities treatment!

On top of the star studded treatment, there was interviews conducted LIVE to cover the events filled with James Bond theme. At one point of time, three women with afro-hairdos were dancing on tables as if it was a discotheque. The pre-dinner event also provided the thrill seekers with a 'baracat' gambling chips.

In terms of the decor, this time around the ballroom was filled with rose scented environment, filled with thousands of red roses, those blooming roses were a special treat for ladies. By 7.30pm, we were allowed into the ballroom and indeed it never failed to create curousity.

By 8pm, the event started with AIA celebrities walking on the red carpet. The opening act amused the audience with a lady showering behind a curtain, our eyes can only envisioned that she was 'naked' and soon she tore the curtain and the music started thundering james bond theme.

It was a night full of 'fire' for the young and old gentlemen seated at the front row, as the pole dancers wet their appetite with all kinds of antics. at one point, the dancers were like 'orang utans' climbing the pole effortlessly, swaying their long tresses upside down serenading the young crowd.

As for our table, our team member, Janice Chern from KL Jess was elated with joy as her lucky no #1166 was the winner for RM1000 cash. She couldnt believed her eyes nor could we, when she opened a box filled with 100 ten dollar notes. Bravo Janice...! Remember to treat us yea!

To cut short, the annual dinner were indeed a night to be remembered due to the different style, decor, appealing theme that I have attended so far. I would say, this was the best in terms of preparation, decor and creative ideas in our annual dinner. Those who have not attended, be a Million Dollar Club member for free invitation. See you next year!
