New hang!

 When I logged in, the new blogger layout kinda made me hesitate to blog. I am definitely not a tech savvy person and in fact, blogger's 'not the easiest' method of posting pictures up never really did encourage me to blog. 

Lost my internet connection for about a week plus and was itching to blog then. With my boyfriend always away for snooker training (yes, snooker is his latest OBSESSION), I have loads of spare time on my hands. I just want to occupy my time! Kind of promised myself to blog when I got my internet back. Hope this blogging mojo stays for awhile. Notice how I am always gung ho for a short period of time? 

These are backdated pictures from a long long time ago.

Boyfriend always wanted to bring me to the Hot Air Balloon fest held in Putrajaya and this time, we made it! In fact, boyfriend was sick and I was all set to skip this year. The hot weather will not help his condition much. I was however, disappointed I didn't get to go up those hot air balloon rides. Tickets and rides were obviously limited.

 Damn those colourful hot air balloons! Hopefully, I'll be able to wake up earlier next year so I can get those tickets.

I am in love with this place I stumbled upon randomly one day during lunch time. People, say hi to Publika! In fact, I 've been there so much for the past few weeks, if you have been on my twitter. There are so many variety of cafes and restaurants, all in one place. It is a very artsy mall and I guess, being environmental friendly is one of Publika's concept. Great place for friends to hang out and catch up. I love having dinners with my boyfriend there. 

There's Ben's at Publika, which happens to be one of my favourite restaurants/cafes. Gotta love their Nachos Libre! However, there's a BIG room for improvement for service level at the Ben's at Publika as compared to their outlet at Pavilion. Boyfriend and I waited for almost 30 minutes for a table but clearly there were around 6 empty tables available at that time. Pfffft.

 Ben's at Publika.

 A must order item for boyfriend and I every time we go to Ben's! The Nachos Libre as starters.

 I had their Creamy Chicken Pie but by the time this came, I was already full to the brim! Couldn't finish at all.

And I love BIG at Publika. You can probably find all the rare grocery items at this grocer. Prices are relatively steep but the items are nothing but FRESH! From afar, you can actually smell the fresh aroma of the fruits and vegetables from the grocer. The first time I was there, the scent totally drew me over. I really usually am not the 'grocery' type. 

If you are in no doubt sick of overcrowded malls like 1 Utama or Mid Valley, Publika is a pretty nice place to have a coffee and a slice of cake to just chill for the weekend. I personally love the creative and artsy ambience this place gives. I have visited other restaurants at Publika, namely Plan B and The Bee, which I guess I will blog about the next time around. So if you're looking for somewhere different to hang, Google up Publika for the directions there.

My rantings shall stop there today. It's Monday blues all over again tomorrow. Take care and don't forget to have a fantastic week ahead!
