What a Sunny Sunday on May 31, my good friend, Kimberly and I had a small gathering but it was birthday celebration for my good friend, Selina in the morning. However 5 of us went to the new place that we never been there before despite it just near with my house. The location was Empire Damansara which was near with IKEA and the Curve. So it was our first time to visit this place. Actually we had discussed about which cafe we should eat through the instant messaging which was "Whatapps" before. We reached there so earlier which was 10am. Most of the cafe just open at 11am. So we decided to explore around Empire Damansara first before we had our brunch at the cafe. 

First at all, we felt like to travel to London because of the building background looked like as the building in London. We welfie in front of the building which was Heritage Lane. Most of the building just black and grey. As I observed that there was not really many people come to visit here but this place got few cafe which was unique with their theme. So I thought that people would come here for brunch, lunch or dinner. The best example cafe was Seven Cups, Haraju Cube Cafe, Bungkus, 121 Barber, Burger Junkyard, Epique Coffee Company, Korean BBQ San Nae Deul and many more.

Along this area, we explored and enjoyed to take photo together because we were very free. Especially the creative arts on the wall such as the giant yellow lamp which could be covered us in the light. It was very nice to shoot. So cute when we were in the yellow shadow! Believe or not? Just visit there if you curious! After that, we continued to shoot our photo in the different shots and prescriptively.

Till 11am, we discovered that the cafe that we wanted to give a try. The cafe named Metal Box Restaurant & Cafe. Wow! Surprised when saw a crowd people and filled with the cafe in the morning. Luckily, we managed to book and sit on our table. The decoration was really different because every items was steel. So no wonder this cafe called "Metal Box". Normally, the menu had the photo about the meal to attract the customer drooling but this menu did not show any photo about the meals. So we took a bit time to read the menu before we ordered our breakfast set. Once we finished to order it, we decided to try our shared meals; The Metal big breakfast and The Red Benedict - Baked eggs. The foods was quite nice and not bad at all.

Then we headed to the "Cat in The Box" Cafe which was Selina's favorite. This because she loves Cat and everything was related with Cat. She would be crazy about her pet cat, called Miu Miu which was belong to her sister. Hard to believe that her favorite cat was very cute. She was always be cute as same as her cat. So we celebrated her birthday in advance.



That's why we went to this place. Once we step into this cafe. Her smile became big and happy when saw everything about cat in this cafe. In addition, we shared to eat our meals again. Anyways, I satisfied with our decision because we ate different meals at two cafe in the morning. Sounds great? We ordered our own drinks; coffee & tea and shared to eat one snack, "Pie Chicken & Potato" in this cafe.

While waiting our meals, we took photo around this cafe and welfie together so much. At the same time, we chat chit so much. Many topic to talk. Wowowow! The owner and staffs make the meals which required 15 to 20 minutes. So no wonder the meals is quite delicious and quite nice. Drooling when saw the meals. It was Pie Chicken & Potato. Finally, we tried a piece of cake, Cheese Nut Cake. I ordered a mystery drink; "Crimson Magic Tea". My friends and I wondered how the taste looked like.... Finally I tried to drink it and the taste looked like apple. We were really enjoyed to chat-chit and eat more at same time!

Last weekend for May month ago, my good friend, Kimberly invited me and my schoolmate friend, May Sin to join the picnic in the morning. What a funny thing was when we could not find the venue which was Taman Jaya Lake, Amcorp Mall despite we always went to Amcorp Mall before. However we did not know where to discover the lake around Amcorp Mall area. So we went the loop twice time. 

Finally, we managed to find it out and we were not very late to come. So funny! This picnic was organised by Level 3 Sign Language Students of RC Mission Malaysia. Those people were hearing students who interested to learn about Sign Language and Deaf Culture. This event held because it encouraged hearing students to understand Deaf community better through the activities during the event. Other than that, they interacted with deaf people by using Sign Language in order to understand and improve their Sign Language skills. Besides that, Agnes, Founder of RC Mission Malaysia and deaf evaluators who evaluated how was their Sign skills and interaction with Deafs. 

First at all, we had to register our name and get free goodies bag. I saw that there were few deafs came along. Some of them who were my friends that I did not meet them for a long time. I was very delighted to meet them again. One of hearing students group put the cute tatoo on my arm which was pirate symbol. Each of us had our own tatoo but there was two different tatoo, "priate" and "me,us, you" symbol required us to join which was the group divided into two groups. Before the event started, a project leader(Sign Language student) introduced herself and her group and explained about the scheduled time for this picnic. At the same time, she invited Agnes Peter who was a founder of RC Mission, Malaysia gave her speech about the purpose of the event held this time. More interesting, she show her facial expression. No wonder some people got her wrongly for example, they thought that Was she deaf lady? Because her sign was very well at all.

There was two games that we need to take part for the fun activities which was straw & rubber hole and couple balloon race. First game was we need to give the rubber hole to other people by using straw on our mouth. Other game was each couple had to make sure a balloon sticked with our arm or part of our body that we like and walked around the loop and give it to other couple. Me,Us,You group won both games. My group lose but we enjoyed to play games. After that, Agnes present the prize for the group who just won the games. Besides that, she gave the certificate to few top students who did well for their exam and explained why they passed all the assignment and exam. For example, they wrote their touching story and how deafs inspired them with their experience and real situation that they faced before. Anyways, their story inspired Agnes as what she described earlier. Congratulations to those hearing students who passed the exam and did very well. Of course, we did not forget to take photo together.

The lunch had been provided for us. There was few types of foods that we could choose as we like. We enjoyed to eat because all of us were hungry and the weather was hot and make us sweat. At the same time, we social and interact with hearing students or deaf friends. Just social with them for the short time only. But this event was really enjoyable and fun. As what Agnes said earlier, those students would have their exam in August soon. I wish them all the best and good luck for their exam. Looking forward to see more hearing people to learn Sign Language and of course, it would be better if they become interpreter for deaf community in the future as we know that there was a lack of the interpreter for Deaf community in Malaysia.
