Teambuilding @ Tropical Spice Garden, Teluk Bahang

Seaview from Spice Garden's cafe. The cafe is shaded by multiple big trees. It is the best place to be at noon time when you are here.

Just a spice cat wondering around spice garden cafe. It is doing its cat walk :)

Spice garden treasure hunt ends with cooking session using the "treasure" which is the spices.

Of course, we can't cook the spice alone. Here are the supporting ingredients.

Stone roller to smash and grind various spices. Here are some spices to make Devil Curry. Hmm.. DC, same as my initials.

Stir fry the spices. Someone gave instruction and one people fry it. To me, it looks like Kan Cheong Kitchen show.

The results is a nice bowl of Devil Curry with chicken and potatoes. Instructor says it doesnt looks like Devil Curry and potatoes is not cooked. :)

Well, just a game isnt it?

Crazily shopping today from 10am-6pm @ Washington Square and Woodburn

Easter sale plus Woodburn 10th anniversary sale. Here is the result of that.
The sale kinda caught me.

I saved couple hundreds USD but spent a couple hundred too.
These V's items is about 70% of the total amount of money I spent today. Purple handbag, Guess's Primary. White wallet Guess's Primary as well. This is the latest model.
I don't think she expect this. Coach wallet and coach sling bag.
Since she says every girl must have a coach, I buy these for her. These is what I can afford for now.
But from what I see, Coach' s quality is much better.
Btw, Coach in woodburn on sale now. Many women is there snatching for it. If you want, please go tomorrow. !!

Items purchased prior to Easter Sales @ Oregon

Lowepro Fastpak 200 at USD79.90. Get it because it can put both camera and laptop.

Ultra cheap, cannot believe it. USD10 for Philips noise cancelling earphone. I just checked out in Fry's today, it is selling for USD49.90.

Maybe if I still see it, I can get another set to sell it in Msia.

Nike cap for USD4. Nike dry-fit shirt for USD15.


Britney Spears parfum, Curious for V. Haih, she says she wanted designer perfume, not this. USD20.

Dunhill desire for myself. I like Dunhill perfume a lot.

Riverplace @ Portland

A nice round-about with trees.

Marina Fish House which serves seafood on water.

A kind of flower.


Riverside.

Another round-about.

Trees without leaves but has light bulbs on it. I bet the night scene will be much better.

One of the Portland bridge. I dont know the name. But the traffic flow direction is top/bottom splited. Eg. top one direction, bottom the opposite direction.


Here is the other bridge. There is another similar to this on the other side. The middle portion of the bridge can be lifted up for boats/ships to pass thru.

On the way up to Mt. St. Helen

Johnston Ridge is closed during snowy time. Of course, I dont know until I almost reach. There is a sign saying that it is closed. Since I am here, I still drove up to the Hoffstadt Creek bridge.
This bridge is long and magnificient.

The bridge supported by 6 pillars. The view is even nicer with the snowy trees as background.

Slightly more than 2000 ft from sea level. Fully covered by snow.

I initially thought the reason why the road is not covered by snow is because the road is hotter, so the snow melted. Actually it is this big truck pushed the snow to the side.

Snowy..

Forest learning centre. Closed as well.

Hoffstadt Bluffs visitor center. A little snow.

A lake at the bottom of Mt. St. Helen.

I liked this picture a lot. I wonder if anyone would scroll to this picture since it is located at the last. If you didnt, you missed the treasure. LoL. I will edit it a little when go home. It needs to be slightly brighter.
