MDG = Another lame popularity show

Fiqa was eliminated! just because she didn't get enough votes. Can't believe MDG is turning into a lame popularity show.... if this sucking voting system is going to rule till the end for MDG, it will loses its credibility. They might as well just crown Cheesie right now. Totally agree with what Su Ann said about Cheesie's appearance in the show - blunt, boring and JUST EXISTING. Thanks to her huge bimbo fan base. =___="

Hanis is the sweet girl next door and got the innocent malay looking. She might be the only one threatening Cheesie though. Since now MDG has become just another voting-rules-all show, I'll be happy if anyone wins except for Cheesie.

Overspent

It's just the beginning of the month but I have already overspent my budget for the month.... =__=" why oh why... why i keep overspending for the last few months, indeed for over half a year!!

Sis asked me if wanna go for Janice concert this coming May, 300 bucks for front row seat since her friend's family is working in Galaxy which is the concert main organizer. 300 bucks!!! I sooooo wanna go to her concert but thinking about 300 bucks, there's so much I can do with it.... I'm getting soooo stingy I don't even know pffffff =__=" and then there's Beauty and the beast musical this coming June, any musical fan here interested???

Just finished watching the finale of Make me a supermodel. Holly won. Right choice America! My favourite Ben didn't win but I do think he got potential in the model industry. Just that I'm not sure his determination is as strong as Holly.

Determination in my opinion is the most important criteria. To achieve what you want, you need to have strong determination enough to motivate yourself towards getting it. Sometimes I find myself have the determination but lack of confidence, which is soooo important when it comes to public speaking. This is one huge hurdle I need to overcome with....

Holly won!

boyish Ben

Watched Ah Long Pte Ltd the other day... the movie is hilarious!! It's been sometime since i last watched a show that's sooooo funny and I managed to learn a few funny terms: lim beh, chao ah kua etc hahahaha. The movie was mostly shot at Kuala Lumpur, go watch it and sure you will laugh from the beginning till the end. ^.^

The three kingdoms on the other hand is a much serious movie which the story revolves around 三国 which Andy Lau is the ultimate commander that never lose a battle before. Frankly speaking, I think Andy's acting in Warlords (投名状) is much better than in three kingdoms even though he acted from young to old. Another imperfection is that the production should have used Andy's own voice instead of getting some China ah pek to voice over him lorr.... =_="

Had my dinner at D'italian Kitchen after getting my wages last last week. The restaurant has just opened for a couple of months which located at Jaya 33 next to True fitness. The deco and setting is nothing too glamorous or classy, just warm and cozy.

Wide selection of pastas...


twisted glass


cozy settings...





Spaghetti vongole... thumbs up for this!!


my fave Italian dessert - pick me up





There's this mini fountain deco near the exit...

Typical Sunday

Waking up early in the Sunday morning is so not me... alas I have problem having a good sleep recently, maybe it's due to my newly bought pillow which claimed to be able to enhance blood circulation that can improve sleeping quality?! Or maybe I just haven't got used to my new pillow?!

Anyhow, I grabbed my old pillow and sat in front of my computer to watch the latest episode of Make me a Supermodel. This reality show is hilarious! Every week the candidates will perform a series of photo shoots and catwalks, judges will select the bottom three among them to put up for voting. The one with least votes will be eliminated. Something similar to ANTM but the ultimate power of elimination comes from the viewers instead of the judges. There has been quite a lot of model talent show recently; even Malaysia has our own version of model reality show - Malaysian dreamgirl. I have been following the show since but to be frank it's not as funny as the American based reality show mainly because the contestants simply are not bitchy enough?! haha...

My fave dreamgirl to date is Fiqa. She has a very elegant and sophisticated style plus she has the height of a model.

Cheesie sounds phony to me... I have been a loyal reader of her blog and thought she might have what it takes when it comes to personality but after watching episode 6, you'll probably have the same thinking like me... a bit beh tahan when she cried like someone just passed away saying "why you guys didn't vote for her" when the 3 girls were voted out. Hello?! I know girl is emo when it comes stuff like this but I think she exaggerated it and probably want the show to project a sympathetic side of her?! Anyway, that is just my personal opinion.

Eyna has got the most potential to become a model. She got the height and looks but her shy personality doesn't stand out among the other girls, so we shall see…

Ok coming back to Sunday, after having breakfast with my family, I decided to do some baking! It's been a while since my last baking, so this time around I decided to make some cupcakes!

Baking 101:
1. Mix flour, sugar, egg and water together


2. Added in melted butter and mix it up.


3. Melted chocolate / peanut butter for own flavoring
4. Put mixture in paper cups and added in chocolate / peanut butter.
5. Put some almond flakes or raisin on the top for deco.



6. Bake for 30 minutes in pre-heated oven.


7. Voila!




Anyway.....

went over to Dessert Bar at Mont Kiara in the afternoon. The name of the shop says it all. It offers a variety of smoothies, home made ice-creams and mousse desserts.

Berry-licious. Custard mousse with berry jello at the bottom =D


Black sesame and soy milk ice-cream. I love it! Not too sweet to my liking...


Grape smoothies. I love it X100!! Not those fake artificial flavoring, made 100% from grapes =D


Enjoying a quiet Sunday reading a good book while having my favorite dessert. Priceless.


I got fever recently. French mani fever! =D Bought this Sally Hansen's French Manicure kit from Watson the other day. It's a bit pricey for nail polish cause I normally buy nail polish from Skin Food or The face shop for less than 20 bucks each. But it's worth it cause it really glides smoothly on my nails! =)


French mani anyone? =p

Getting my own place

Lately, I have been thinking about moving out. People always say I "manja" (spoilt) cause i just used to living with my parents where everything is provided. I've never stayed alone or stayed at dorm before. I can always count on my mom for home cooked dinner when i come back from school / work. My laundry is always done even though my mom does complain about it once in a while. Nonetheless, everything in my daily life is kinda organized and assured. I'm trying to picture myself living all by myself. I may need to do my own laundry which sounds tired for me =p, I may need to clean up the toilet every week and cook my own dinner when I come back from work. These all sound so exhausting!! Yet, in order to let myself to become more independent, I need to take the very first step - GET MY OWN PLACE. Otherwise, I will be died of laziness! -_-"

Hmm.... any room to let that comes with washing machine, broadband connection and home cooked food?! wahahahaha....

Survivor lesson

Just finished watching Survivor: China. It's been some time since i catch up with the show again. The last Survivor show i remembered was Survivor All Stars which Amber won the million bucks. I was actually quite surprised this show is still going strong in its ratings and is entering its 16th season in the coming February.

After watching the show. I would say Todd actually deserve to win the million bucks because he really outwit and outlast the game. Bare in mind this is a game, from the moment you participate in it, you know there will be alliances, backstabbing, lying, cheating whatever. The thing is how you got people to vote for you at last while you back stabbed and cheated him/her .




Plenty of lessons to be learned from Survivor.

1. In order to defeat your enemy, you must know his/her weaknesses. (Todd got his alliances to vote off Jean Rober once he knew that JR knew the hidden immunity secret. Todd certainly knows that Jean Rober's big mouth gonna screw his plan and stir people's mind around)

2. Know your own strength and weaknesses. (Todd knew he's not physically the strongest, being the dwarf among the guys, he immediately form alliance with Amanda from day one and pull in the weakest member Courtney to avoid attack from his group)

3. Stay rational and think before you act. (Todd sure knows how to sabotage Amanda's reputation by spilling out that she back stabbed Denise in front of the jury, even though it's unintentional. He persuaded Amanda to vote for Denise by telling her Denise might get the sympathy votes from the jury, good analysis Todd)




The coming season is Survivor: Micronesia Fans vs Favorites . Can't wait!!

yet another tragedy...

here's another bus crash accident on the highway. The bus driver has 13 outstanding summonses issued against him!! Why on earth would the bus company let this demon drive and risk the 39 innocent passengers' lives?!!

One of the three victims who died in this horrible accident is a bright young medical student Nian Ning. It's just so sad to see this kinda tragedy happen endlessly yet the authority act like they have nothing to do with it.

Some of the survivors witnessed the driver was speeding and SMSing while driving in heavy rain!! o_O Are you kidding me?!!

Friends of Nian Ning is setting up a petition against the bus company, please raise your force to end this heartbreaking tragedy for once and for all.

Help Nian Ning’s Family, Fight With Them.

GreenValley cafe, SS2 PJ

these photos were taken soooooo many months ago. Had my lunch here with few of my colleagues at SS2, Petaling Jaya. We were scouting for some nice place to have some nice food. But ended up with bad food with expensive bill!! (freaking not worth it) =(

As it was a public holiday, uncle sim drove us out to have lunch. We ended up having our lunch at GreenValley Cafe at SS2. This cafe was taken over and revonated from the previous "Butt Kin Butt Sun" 不见不散 HK restaurant which is just opposite the famous Wong Kok Char Chan Teng.

Noticed the crowd at Wong Kok, we decided to try our luck at this newly opened cafe...


The restaurant owner renovated the restaurant into a modern asian interior...


We ended up being late from lunch because of this!! They took a freaking 45 minutes to prepare a nasi lemak?! And we don't find anything special with it o_O


Overpriced mee siam that the taste is not good at all and I can probably buy 5 plates full of mee siam at the hawker stall opposite my office!!


some blah soda...


cintan instant noodle that i cook myself taste anytime better than this....


still consider edible.... at least



all of us didn't really enjoy the food and hopefully there will be some improvement the next time i visit them (will i ever?)...
