A Slice of Heaven

2012-10-08T06:21:00.001-07:00

One of the days when I'd got to have my sweet tooth fixed, I thought of this particularly special place. By its name I already started wondering, "seriously??" when I first stumbled upon this place named A Slice of Heaven by Just Heavenly at Jaya One. And not just that, every time I past by the many outlets of it, I felt like it's enticing me to come near and taste their must-try cakes.

So, finally the day arrived with sufficient amount of cash in my pocket to savour one.

The Chocolate Durian Cake. One of the few recommended by the 'heaven' confectioner.

The first bite was pretty a surprise to me. It had strong taste of durian, be it the D24 or Musang King, with a perfect chocolate layer complementing each other. It doesn't just end here, the durian filling was full of the natural fibre I could actually chew it!

Durian lovers and those who dont mind processed durian should give it a try!

I know I know. The price isn't that widely acceptable for such small piece of cake but if you want something of such heavenly, you don't pay the same price. ;)

Gah! That's how I persuaded myself at the first place...

Amcorp Mall

2012-09-30T10:49:00.000-07:00

This shopping mall is a topic itself because of its uniqueness which is like no other shopping malls in Malaysia I've known by far. I'm quite certain that most people visited this mall would agree with me that this old and relatively small shopping mall has alot to captivate its shoppers.
Visited the mall this afternoon alone due to some reasons.

A newly opened -or not- shop called the Garage. I love the concept alot! But...

The listed prices were quite shocking. Noticed that price tag for that gorgeous carousel?

*ehem* My birthday is coming soon. *ehem*

And then the next destination was the newly moved-in Romantika Home Deco. Third floor.

Not exactly a new shop. If you're a regular at Amcorp Mall you might know about this shop was initially at the ground floor. A total Victorian style home deco you might find here and that's exactly what I wanted my room to be like, initially!

Love this vintage case so much! It's selling at RM 59.90

I would say grab this before it's gone man! It's now selling at just RM20 after price reduction for stock clearance.

Aww.. How I wish to grab all these back for my new homesweethome and make my Victorian room. But NAH! It's too expensive to make one although I can get the deco at a very reasonable price here, I doubt that I can get Victorian bed frame, wardrobe or dressing table at an affordable price elsewhere. Probably a semi-Victorian room? hehe.

Another great attraction in Amcorp Mall is The BookXcess, the one and only outlet in Malaysia. Hello booklovers, you must know this perfect place!

Oh, and not to forget the weekend bazaar! I can't find an appropriate sentence to describe it. Just be prepared to be amazed!

So, these are the little haul for today's adventure! Not much because I got to save money for something else =)

Till then! Peace*

Overexposed Concert

2012-09-21T10:22:00.000-07:00

Yeah! That's Maroon 5 Live Concert in Malaysia that just made the night so amazing!

All thanks to Yes by YTL Communications for the complimentary tickets to the Yes Zone which was the rock zone! =) It was really tiring standing right there waiting for about 4 hours but when Maroon 5 came in rocking the stadium it felt nothing but enjoying every single song they were performing.

The long queue before entering the gate for security check. Luckily it was quite a windy weather.

Before entering shoot.

Time to rock

with Maroon 5 =D

They are freaking amazing fellas. Loving all their music performances. Dato' Jimmy Choo and Dato' Siti Nurhaliza were spotted attending this concert too! But too bad I didnt know until seeing them on fb photos snapped by Yes Personnel.

Managed to record the song ''Daylight'' halfway through, one of my favourites by Maroon 5.

I personally think that it would be worth getting the rock zone in Maroon 5 concert if I were to buy the tickets myself. Probably their next concert after a few years time.

Above all, thanks to my dad too! <3

Detachable Collar

2012-09-19T08:58:00.000-07:00

I love detachable collars! People may be dubious by the idea of detachable collar, some didn't even know the existence of such brilliant notion. It's simply a separated shirt collar from the shirt and fastened a stud or buttons.

And in the world full of innovative minds, detachable collar has become a fashion statement. With that detachable collar on, even a plain outfit would look damn fabulous! Here's some nice pieces I found online. Enjoy!

by The Dude & Duchess

1. Neon Yellow Leather collar by Eleven Objects

2. Leopard Printed Calf Hair Collar by Eleven Objects

3. Detachable Sequin Collar by Miu Miu

4. Teal Mixed Stone Collar by Topshop

Also, some nice ones from online shopping sites:

Tribal inspired outfit with my Murua detachable collar.

It simply could transform my outfit of the day into something eye-catching and stand-out!

Other than the stylish collars, something simple as this will do the magic too!

Anyway, good news to fashionistas on tight budget because you can Do-It-Yourself! Here's the few links that might be helpful:

And good news also to lazy bums because you can get these detachable collars at Sungei Wang Plaza or Diva! =D

Love,

Mabel

Thanks to God

2012-09-04T22:48:00.002-07:00

Josh: God, can I ask You a question?

God: Sure

Josh: Promise You won't get mad

... ... ... ...

God: I promise

Josh: Why did You let so much stuff happen to me today?

God: What do u mean?

Josh: Well, I woke up late

God: Yes

Josh: My car took forever to start

God: Okay

Josh: at lunch they made my sandwich wrong & I had to wait

God: Huummm

Josh: On the way home, my phone went DEAD, just as I picked up a call

God: All right

Josh: And on top of it all off, when I got home ~I just want to soak my feet in my new foot massager & relax. BUT it wouldn't work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did You do that?

God: Let me see, the death angel was at your bed this morning & I had to send one

of My Angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that

Josh (humbled): OH

God: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Josh: (ashamed)

God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick & I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.

Josh (embarrassed):Okay

God: Your phone went dead bcuz the person that was calling was going to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered.

Josh (softly): I see God

God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.

Josh: I'm Sorry God

God: Don't be sorry, just learn to Trust Me.... in All things , the Good & the bad.

Josh: I will trust You.

God: And don't doubt that My plan for your day is Always Better than your plan.

Josh: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, Thank You for Everything today.

God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I Love looking after My Children...

* * *

We might be complaining our daily lives like Josh did because all that was there in our mind were the negatives. We never believe the simple word 'contented' so we seek every crook and cranny to make it become better but when the effort is not paid off we start to blame and never realizing we are already so much better than other people, people without basic shelter, sustenance, love and little kids that do not own any thing near your Roxy pencil case which you used to feel proud owning it or even think that that was what you should deserve. God has plans for everyone of us, if you're not doing good, it doesn't mean that God has forsaken you; if you're doing good, it doesn't mean that God thinks that you deserve what you have. So, appreciate and be grateful.

It's a shame that I did not hold on to the one that I needed than I wanted.

Too complex to understand, too much to take in. But I believe He will come and comfort me.

Random Sept

2012-08-31T12:30:00.000-07:00

The first day of September seems to be a good day ahead. Even after yesterday's Hu and Ha of Malaysia 55th Independence Day people are still in the happy mood because it's Saturday! Saturday is an off day for some while the others might need to work for half day or more. No matter what, today is my dearest nephew full moon celebration albeit being actually more than a month old right now!

Love ma newly bought moustache double ring! I got it at a reasonable price at friendlyfashion.my compared to others which are selling it at RM12 or even more ridiculous price. Btw, Little Potpourri with it's newly arrived items is selling moustache ring and earrings too.

Back to myself, the past few weeks of my holidays were pretty saddening and off from fun for my loveliest grandmother had gone to the far far away land together with God resting in peace. However, I think she must be happier right now without being troubled by sickness or crippled by gradual loss of hearing and eye sight and so I should be happy for her too. I felt grateful that SuWen could make it for a date out with me last Monday, we almost sang my lungs out at Redbox . Everything was felt relieved and released in me.

I'd been eyeing on this wax stamping set and I saw this on Groupon.my and other websites for quite some times and at last I bought it together with SuWen. Gonna try it soon. =)

L for Lai, L for Love, L for Lasting, L for Liveliness, L for Longetivity! XD

Group buying is undoubtedly great at improving one's business by providing wonderful discount for whatever they are selling but it's a shame some people are starting to exploit it. Whether you are aware of this, a lot of stuffs with their after-discount price are still higher than the actual market price. So beware while purchasing at these group-buying websites as they aren't always the best deal.

Meet Joel, ma new nephew with ma Odie. =D

Happy family! haha.
Till then.

Photoblogging Trial

2012-08-30T00:58:00.002-07:00

How often do people living in the hustling and bustling city really take time appreciating something as little as a flower? So I thought it would be a great idea to have my first photoblog all about these little yet beautiful creations on Earth!

Some dandelions in my new homesweethome.

My crude idea of flower made of Lego. I'd tried my best from the limited choice of blocks available.

Am anticipating the opening of Legoland in Malaysia!

Marimo

2012-08-16T07:01:00.002-07:00

Had you heard of Marimo? In case you didn't, it's actually a type of algae which people are apparently selling it, at a price which can go around RM20 or RM 50 each depending on the size of the Marimo ball. To my surprise, it's claimed to be a hot selling item in Japan and many also claims that what they have here are imported from Japan. Probably that's the reason behind the sky-high price for these tiny buddies?

My two Marimo balls that I kept in my hostel.

Initially I had no idea about this new type of so-called pet and I gave no interest at it at all because I didn't understand why are people petting ALGAE?? And till now I still don't understand, but I know it's almost like a trend which I do not know how and when on Earth it had started. Anyway, I'd been petting it since March 2012 when my friend asked to 'babysit' these tiny babies.

And look, it indeed grew bigger and darker in colour! Photo taken on July 2012.

One thing I don't understand is why are mine so irregular in shape compared to what are there selling outside? Oh well, I'm still happy to see them still growing healthily and can't wait to see them turning into two big rounded moss balls!

Tips to keep Marimo Moss Balls happy:

- Change water once every week. Do not go more than four weeks without changing water;

- Do not expose Marimo balls to direct sunlight;

- Do not expose Marimo balls to heat above 35 degrees Celsius;

- During weekly water changes, gently massage and squeeze out dirt from Marimo balls;

- Do not split Marimo balls to induce reproduction;

- If Marimo balls experience whitish or yellowsih discolouration, add a tiny dash of salt to water;

- Place crytal stones or coral sand in water to speed growth of Marimo balls;

- If Marimo balls turn black or brown, then they have sadly passed on and are now judging you silently from the algae afterworld.

If you're interested at owning one, have a look at this website: http://www.facebook.com/marimoclub

Have a nice day!

Year 3 In a Nutshell

2012-08-15T00:59:00.000-07:00

Finally, my 3rd year has ended well as I have gotten my results and I'm satisfied with it. Looking back at what my classmates and I had been through I think we are pretty well blessed by God to get the results at least most of us are grateful of.

The days at HKL will be the most unforgettable days I had in Year 3. Besides the severe corns on the soles of my feet due to the long standing hours, there were many seen and unseen dramas that I didn't expect to happen in my whole life. But, I learned from them. Now that we won't be back to the hospital any sooner, I'm starting to miss those days. You may give me a 'LOL' look or remark because I myself know it's ridiculous.

My first set of dentures made for real patient. Thanks Mr Loh!

Not very beautiful but I like them! haha.

Oh, and unbelievably, I had done my first tooth extraction on real patient too! Not just that, it's already altogether 4 cases up to date! Hopefully I would be able to finish at least half of the requirements by next year.

The gigantic Nasi Biryani Kambing @ Restaurant Rawani Hadramout. A treat from Dr. Maan which was delicious to the max!!

Serving great authentic Yemeni Cuisine.

The plants that we bought from the Cactus Farm in Cameron highlands! Some of them already RIP, I don't understand why but definitely it's a kind of knowledge about them we are lacking at... So who enlighten me of them?

As like the previous 2 years, we would choose a cosy and nice place for a study group discussion. I'd been here at The Tea Republic thrice. I had blogged about my first visit at the earlier post. And the second time, I was with my besties studying hard. My third come-back was for some luxurious enjoyment. =) Yes, we love the place much!

Happy H.O.L.I.D.A.Ys peeps!!

Cameron Highland

2012-08-08T04:41:00.001-07:00

Due to my professional exam everything unrelated to it was left aside including this post which was supposed to be up way earlier on June. And I know it was a long hiatus since my last blogpost but here you go. =)

Pic taken in a strawberry farm where you could pluck your own strawberries! It sounds fun but be careful with the pricing sign as it could easily drain out the whole lot of cash you have in your wallet.

Fatty bees. I shuddered just by looking at those holes they were busy crawling around.

Trust me the strawberries there were not like here in KL, they were as affordable and common as bananas or apples we have here IF you buy them at the right place. Whoever is a big fan of strawberries, it's probably a shopping heaven to her or, maybe, him. XD

Dancing queen! A very special kind of flower seen in Cameron Highland and don't think of buying it back to KL, it WILL go wither.

@ Butterfly farm. Butterflies like bright colours, don't they?

Ma first time seeing such huge cactus in real life.

Huge hibiscus. Ma first time appreciating our national flower.

Nom Nom Nom. Cute little chipmunk.

The breathtaking tea hills.

@Sungai Pelas BOH Tea Plantation

We actually bought more than what is shown in the pic because they were cheap! In terms of price I mean.

Another must-try food in Cameron Highland is the Pearl Corn. Unlike the usual yellowish variant in the market, it had pearl-like parts and taste much better that you could even eat without cooking it.

Another trip to Cameron Highland again? Maybe yes, maybe no. I'm pretty sick with the need to suffer from intense nausea driving up the highlands =/

Till my last paper finishes. =)

Daddy Day!

2012-06-18T05:18:00.001-07:00

It was Daddy Day and Sunday, daddy decided to hang out at Sunway Pyramid. The first shop we headed to was dad's favorite: Popular Bookstore. He really likes to buy books!

As we shopped around, our stomachs growled due to early breakfast we had at SS14. So, we settled at Capricciosa for the well-known pasta. According to google, this Italian restaurant was made famous by a Japanese!

Pretty comfortable environment but what a shame that the waiter didn't seem to be enthusiastic at serving us. Alittle turn-off for me.

Liking these drawings so much!

Linguine Pasta with Smoked Salmon with Light Cream Sauce

This awkward sausage-like smoked salmon was too tasty to have just one!

Seafood Spaghetti

Good taste and more worth it. :)

Amatriciana Fettuccine with Eggplant and Bacon

The pasta which claimed to be freshly made tasted not bad too!

The above dishes were priced at RM 24.90.

My dear daddy and mummy. ❤❤

If you're reading this dad, Happy Daddy's Day to you and I love you!! Proud to be your daughter! 😄

How Smart Is Your 3D TV?

2012-06-08T03:22:00.000-07:00

Talking about smart electronic devices, the first thing that comes to mind probably is none other than iPhone 4, 4s or Samsung Galaxy SII, SIII. And now, all thanks to the geniuses behind the creation of more smarties, there is something called smart TV as well! OK, I know it's not something very new but question is how smart is your smart TV?

I was both excited and dubious about being invited to LG Cinema 3D TV Party where the showcase of their new series of 3D TV started. And it turned out to be very cool indeed. Now let me introduce, LG LM6700 Cinema 3D Smart TV which re-defines what is smart TV with its utmost advanced technologies.

Drooling*

1. Cinema screen design

Having merely 1mm bezel, the frame is hardly seen from distant giving a cinematic viewing experience. What's more exciting than watching your favourite movies or dramas at home as in in cinema!

Nothing hiding behind. Best for wall-mounts!

2. Comfortable 3D glasses
Conventional 3D glasses are pretty heavy in weight and energy-wasting as each pair of glasses are powered by batteries let alone looking awkward to wear! However, LG wanted to have a breakthrough and voila, flicker-free 3D glasses were born!

It's comfortable with light weight and eco-friendly being battery-free. The design is so nice and simple that people might taking it wrongly as sunglasses =)

And they are also party pack with orange colour as well!

What's important, it worked better than conventional 3D glasses. See to believe!

3. 2D to 3D conversion
With LG's upgraded conversion technology, we can imagine no more because LG is making 2D contents to 3D contents! I heard 'wow', I know it's too awesome right?

4. Dual play
This is another highlight of LG 3D TV which solved the problem faced by the gamers sharing the limited TV screen.

Note both the screens on the right and left are actually from the same TV screen. And there is a collection of 3D glasses that are specially made for this purpose so that both players will be able to play video games together in full screen!

5. Magic remote

Tired of your remote control that is full of tiny buttons? You might just love the LG Magic Remote! By just pointing and click, making simple gesture for some complex demands and the scrolling up and down with the wheel you would find your TV had never been this convenient to control!

That's not all, LG LM6700 has more for their proud owner, log onto: www.lg.com.my or visit any nearby outlets to discover more about it!

Smart is LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV!

P/S: Daddy, can we have it in our new homesweethome? :D

Top Girl Search + Randomness

2012-05-28T09:35:00.000-07:00

안녕하세요 (An nyoung ha seh yo)!

With the Korean greeting, I'm excited to announce I'm one of the 10 in the running of Top Girl Search 2012 by The Face Shop! :D After a series of questions during the audition, here we are the shortlisted participants from the top 20 selected.

The goodies for all the top 20 participants.

The skincare series given is meant for oily skin with blemish which I don't think dry skin condition is suitable to use, so I shall pass to someone who will find it useful instead.

In the midst of The Face Shop Top Girl Search, there is an online polling going on until 31st May. Well, I myself do not know how high or low my chances are to win the title but at least don't let me lose too badly please. So, I hope you readers can support me by clicking 'like' for my photos via the link: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=423308571037307&set=a.423306557704175.106841.166147126753454&type=3

Thank you much in advance :)

On the other hand, I'm on my midsem break again which means my 3rd professional exam is coming soon too. And this time I will not slack around like my previous holidays but work towards a week of productive holidays. It's a promise to myself! Of course, this will include a lil of shopping time ;)

Got myself a pair of pearl earrings from Midvalley. They are defnitely a love of mine!

Gone to Paradigm Mall yesterday with family. It's a newly opened shopping mall yet super packed with people! I guess their pre-opening advertisements worked very well. Something I would like to highlight for this shopping mall is this shop called Kaison which has all sorts of nice furnishing piece yet affordable for all. I think it's worth a visit and I probably will be going there often for my new homesweethome. But before that, scented sachets are good ideas for my wardrobe nw.

Happy holidays!

Malaysia Agriculture Park

2012-05-24T04:56:00.001-07:00

OK. So this was the place I had spent my Labour Day holiday. It was basically plants-based leisure park which situated at a strange-to-me place, called Shah Alam. It is not the name that is strange to me but the directions and roads around the place which I'm yet to explore.

It was not just the scotching hot weather that made me kinda regret going, but also the public holiday that had made the trip so much less fulfilling. It just didn't come to my mind when we were planning for this trip that it would be over crowding with visitors. In case you couldn't picture the 'severity' in there, we were told by one of the visitors that she had been waiting for a bicycle vacant to be rent since 8 a.m. but only got hold of one bicycle around 10 a.m.! And there should be at least 80 to 100 plus of bicycles circulating the park. wth.

Going around one of the largest tropical rainforest & agricultural park in the world on foot would be a crazy idea to someone like me. It was either to rent a bicycle or be ferried on a free bus service. But having known that my name was on the third page of the waiting list, renting a bicycle seemed to be hopeless at the time so the free bus service that was. Well. it was not that hopeless but there was a long queue before I could finally rest my ass on the bus.

A common scene in all rainforest.

The weather was pretty unbearably hot, so we were so reluctant to get our asses off the bus and then wait again for another bus to the next stop. Plus, I doubt I had the patience to stand especially under the angry sun for even a minute. And, that was not about being a 'puteri lilin' or not because I wasn't wearing any sunblock and I didn't want to risk getting skin cancer.

So we thought we could just pay a visit to the Four Seasons Temperate House (it's something indoor so no worries). There was a separate entrance fee of RM3 for this specific destination which I thought must be due to the great everyday maintenance cost. Honestly, I was a lil disappointed to know that there was only one season displayed each time and the rest of the three seasons come one after another throughout the year depicting the four seasons change.

Pictures below are of Spring Season:

It was freezingly cold inside for the temperature was as low as 10.4 degree Celcius. With this huge difference between the indoor and outdoor you can just imagine the cost behind.

Luckily the photos turned out be clear because my body from head to toe was literally shaking like mad.

Probably I would pay another visit to this park again but definitely not during holidays and not after 10 a.m. Lesson learned.

Time to Excite My Senses

2012-05-12T08:32:00.001-07:00

When I was a little child, I used to get excited watching tv programs one after another until my mum started asking me to get to bed because it was late. However, despite the recent upgrade in our household television, I have lost the urge to stay tuned to any movies, drama series or documentations on the tv. This could most probably due to the easy accessibility of those on the net and people like me are way too 'busy' to bother buying DVDs or Bluray discs, or transferring what I have in my laptop to hard disk and displaying them via a name-forgotten device on the tv and, at the end, the outcome would be just the same as watching with my laptop.

But I was filled with awe when I first knew about LG Cinema 3D Smart TV. I want to excite my senses once again with this tv because it is no ordinary television, being able to display 3D cinema views let alone a smart one. There are lots of people using smart phone but what about a smart tv? That would be super cool.

And just by the look of it, I feel like wanting it right in my house and start a movie marathon with whoever that's free to hang around. I can't wait to discover more of its impressive features!

If you're as interested as I do, you can log onto http://www.lg.com/my/tv-audio-video/televisions/televisions.jsp for more info. :)

*The above serves as a contest post.*

Short-Term Bilik

2012-04-30T08:19:00.000-07:00

The first place that comes to our mind when we're lodging a day or two outside our house during holidays it means the hotels, resorts or whatever you like to call it. And what people, nowadays, do beforehand is some online research. Especially for those on backpack holidays or getaways, definitely there are alot to consider, eg the room rates, hotel ratings, check-in and -out time, accessibility to the place you wanted to visit, hotel facilities, prior to a smart decision. I thought all of these are pretty time-consuming until I stumbled upon this website named iBilik.

It is quite self-explanatory to be termed as 'short term rentals'. They are not categorized as hotel or whatsoever because, if you happen to be browsing the page now, they are also dorm rooms, condos, apartments and even houses out for rentals. They are up to 385 of places to be chose from each states in Malaysia.

Most of the postings are provided with detailed description and plenty of photos of the place. What I like most is their simple way of projecting the details like the dates available to rent and a Google map of it on the one same page, unlike the other websites where I need to click the dates for checking in and out, and wait for it to load when all I need to know is whether it is available on that particular day. Just in case people are in doubt of their nicely photo-shopped photos, there is a page where reviews were given from previous tenants as a reference for others.

If you're planing to stay for a week or longer, getting a room in a hotel is not quite an economically smart choice. While in iBilik you can enjoy their weekly rate which is cheaper than the daily rentals! The list does not just stop in Malaysia, there are also short term rentals over Singapore and Philippines. Log on to iBilik to find out! :)

Good day!

Fashion Week 2012@Midvalley

2012-04-14T01:58:00.001-07:00

It's happening now till 22nd April and I was all hyped up to get a plus-one invitation from bluinc to witness the commencement of this year's fashion showcase of participating brands.

I wasn't aware of this event until last year when I was window shopping that I came across bunch of people donning eye-catching outfits mingling around runway at the centre court of Midvalley Megamall which seemed to be an invitation-only event. And being lucky enough this time I was able to be part of it this year! And the runway design was still as grand as last year's fashion week.

Good party always has it's own theme. So as you can see from the above pic, this fashion show came up with a rather interesting and fun theme: candy-inspired. And so as the dress code for the night.

Suwen, my partner of the night. Aren't we candylicious? Haha.

Well, again that's what I could dig out from my wardrobe for this theme.

Awesome dance moves by the Elecoldxhot as the starting act.

A stunt performance by the Asia no.1 beatboxer, Shawn Lee. I just couldn't help wondering how he did all those different sound/voice all from one mouth and make them sounded like the playback music from a speaker.

The third invited performer for the night was this lady, Alia? Not sure of her name but she really had a great voice. There was another performer for this event but I just didn't think of taking his picture so no photo of him. Btw, he's a Chinese singer named Ludwig.

Theme: Denim domination from nuyou Magazine.

Theme: Accessories A to Z from female Magazine. Personally, I liked this most.

I did not realise till now that I had left out the catwalks from EH! Magazine carrying the theme: fashion rock. So no pics for it too.

Yes, we manage to ask for a snap with the Elecoldxhot members when the show was almost ending.

I was pretty satisfied with this fashion show as I did not feel bored but rather had my eyes showered with great showcases, performances by the invited guests and the two interactive emcees for the whole 2hours plus. Oh, I did not mention the finger food serving around, did I? On top of being dressed candylicious ourselves we were indulged with cotton-candy and macarons! That definitely doubled up the sweetness all around. Yummy!

What's inside the goodie bag? They were just too understanding of what we love!

Check out Midvalley Megamall website to keep track of other upcoming fashion shows!

TaTa!

Battleship Premiere Screening

2012-04-11T09:06:00.001-07:00

The crowd of bloggers and movie lovers were once again gathered as yesterday was the night for special screening. Especially for this awesome one.

It's actually a film adaptation of a board game namely the Battleship. Well, honestly I'd never seen this board game around here that seems to be famous in USA but I'm sure it's going to sell like hotcakes once it's on the big screen in Malaysia soon and the game looks pretty interesting.

This time the aliens chose to start from the sea. Staring Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna, etc.

I expected alot from it after watching the trailer and I was glad the movie itself turned out to be very impressive indeed. This is exactly the kind of movie that I would surely not to miss watching it in cinema!

My 3rd Year Clinic

2012-04-01T01:07:00.001-07:00

Having myself successfully ventured into 3rd year of my DDS course, I've started my clinical sessions for more than half a year right now.

So this is it, my humble little dental clinic for my 3rd year with most of the things in blue and white. Pretty professional looking right? =)

A notice board aka deco board on one of the 3 boring walls. However, this had walked into the history of my dental clinic as it's no longer there. =(

What's left is this tiny orange tooth siting all alone on the xray viewer.

It's a year of introduction to clinics yet a tough one. There were times when I felt so frustrated and depressed with the dissatisfied outcomes I thought of giving up but I reminded myself that giving up half way just like that is a super immature act, then again, I'm not alone at this. I have to believe all's well that ends well, even mathematics prove that negative plus negative will turn out to be positive, right? =)

Cheers.

The Hunger Games Premiere

2012-03-22T06:10:00.000-07:00

Woots! It's been awhile since I last attended a special movie screening! And this time was none other than The Hunger Games!

''Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favour!''

I saw this movie occupying 3 big advertisement sites in Masjid Jamek LRT station. I guess they do put alot of fund on advertising it.

This picture is dedicated to my friend, Clevin Loh! Muahaha!

This movie originates from a young adult novel written by Suzanne Collins. As far as I remember, it was first introduced to me by one of my friend, Clevin last year during Harry Potter fever. He knew I was also a Harry Potter fan like him so he recommended this trilogy book to me which he thought was somewhat like Harry Potter series. Sadly, I had no time to find it out. But until the movie premiere last night, it turned out to be a 'no' because there was no magical scenes throughout The Hunger Games. A little disappointed.

Starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen. I thought her outfit was too cool and it fitted her so well!

Overall, it had a never-seen-before plot and excitement was there, having all the youngsters fought to live because only when all the others were down could the last one win or end the game. However it was a little draggy during the battle and some part of the movie were shot too shaky that I felt dizzy watching those scenes. There were quite some brutal scenes here and there but somehow this movie is not rated +18. Anyway, if it is going to be on the big screen again I hope the following two of the trilogy will be better.

Afternoon Tea Time

2012-03-16T05:48:00.001-07:00

That one afternoon when I, after some window shopping, found this place called Lots Flower & Tea to rest my legs, it was almost the kind of afternoon tea time I've always longing for. Almost.

This particular tea garden served such smooth flower tea that every single sip was followed by great mellowness. At first, it might taste alittle weird as we Asians are not used to flower tea despite being flower green tea but as soon as I took the second or third sip I found myself wanting more! And now I regret of not asking for some more hot water for a second round.

French Rose Matcha Tea.

A rather good combination.

I'm indeed a tea lover but probably not a tea connoisseur, this is just my two cents, it may differ from one to another.

Margherita

A perfect size pizza to go with my French Rose Matcha Tea. Although it's a vegetarian pizza, it had its very special taste of spices which I couldn't tell what exactly were those infusing with some mozzarella cheese which summed up to simple and nice.

This tea garden would just be the type of afternoon tea session I've always wanted if it is placed in a virtual garden or somewhere up on the hills or even deep into the forest but a shopping mall. Being in a shopping mall there is no way I could relax my mind with all the clothes and accessories alluring.

P/S: Their green tea ice cream is also a must-try for green tea lovers!

Stimulated Brain

2012-03-13T10:30:00.001-07:00

It had been raining ever since evening. I like it when it rains while I'm under the shelter of my home. I don't have to be soaked with acidified rainwater yet I can feel the cooling effect without the fan or air conditioner. Some people find it depressing when it comes to raining, but to me it's so refreshing and sentimental that lots of ideas or vain thoughts pop into my gray matter. But at times when my brain needs some rest, it just goes blank, forbidding any incoming stimulus from interrupting.

Speaking of popping ideas, night time, particularly right before I doze off, is almost always the time when my thoughts are suddenly so organized with ideas. At least some were quite practical, the rest were pretty silly, futile or if you would describe it as useless. But I guess it would be better off if the ideas could flash across like how it is now while I'm in toilet doing some 'big business', maybe then that could become a meaningful part of daily routine. Haha. Just joking.

I don't feel right without one or two pics in my post so I just thought of uploading a pic taken last semester.

The cute Minipol Ear Caps! I wonder why they are called 'ear caps' when no ears could even be found of our cell phones. 'Dust stopper' probably is better. Btw, if you happen to be browsing for these, you can have a look at http://little--potpourri.blogspot.com/ :)

Time to sleep. Good night world!

A Short Relief

2012-03-12T07:53:00.001-07:00

Hello. I'm back to blogging after a 3-week hiatus! But I'm surprised after I realised it was only about 3 weeks time because it definitely felt like months! Not trying to exaggerate things here as my memories of the many days were just--- a nerd sitting in front of table. And a few light moments as exceptions where I'd spent time studying with my friends at somewhere nice :)

Caramel Macchiato this time for me.

Things are apparently harder than ever when I first saw my General Surgery paper on the first day of my end-sem test. It had me 'depressed' for several days, that's how serious it was - to those it may concern. The following days of test were wee bit more cheerful to me. Anyway, God bless my GS result when the class starts next week.

What has done is done, so I'm not going to let this depression walks into my precious one week holidays. I've been addicted to a drama series starring artists from China and Taiwan. Be super honest, what really caught my attention to this drama series was one of the main male characters named HuGe. Hehe... He is really a hot one.

I likey!

Besides this newly found drama series (during my study week), I've found a great fiction book by Bret Nicholaus, a Christmas fiction to be exact. Weird timing but it's too touching not to buy this must-see book for every coming Christmas seasons even after I'd finished reading it in the bookstore.

Discovering nice apps is so fun!

Holiday mood is on N.O.W. Yeah!!

The Day of The Year

2012-02-19T19:00:00.000-08:00

"Oh crap!"
When the clock hit 12:00:00am, that's exactly how I reacted inside me. I'm done with 21 years old! Still feeling reluctant to accept I'm twenty plus and now it's my 22nd birthday. I was even having this silly thought of bargaining with Mr. time from moving any faster. You don't wait, do you Mr Time?
As usual, I've been thinking how many and what birthday wishes I will get through my mobile phone and Facebook. Besides of feeling alittle excited on what I will be getting during this special day of mine, either surprises or gifts, I can't help to reminisce on how I'd spent my 21st birthday and the year which was supposed to be a milestone of my life. People like what I used to be, being 21 years old, get to have a key-like necklace pendant from parents signifying the freedom to self life choices and of course your responsibility to your decision too, and also, a kind of blessing from our parents.

I've got the "key" ever since my last year's birthday, I had been wearing it throughout the year, unwilling to take it down because it outshined all the necklaces I've ever had. I guess I'll still want to have it laying around my neck for some time longer, afterall the purpose of the given "key" is something lifelong. Oh, but I didn't mean that it's mandatory for all people to get the "key" from their parents. Just like my elder brother, he didn't have it physically but I believe the "key" is in his heart. Anyway, I thought he would look totally weird with a fine necklace around his neck.

Chocolate berry cake from my bro!

*Gasp* "what is this?"

" Is this a birthday cake? So special and cute!"

" Take one pic of me with this cake please~"

Thanks Norman for the ice cream cake!

Happy birthday to me!

Easy with Blogsy!

2012-02-03T14:26:00.000-08:00

Hello all. CNY is almost finishing, so do my holidays. And I'm getting a wee bit more moody each day thinking of the coming-soon lectures and end sem tests. Interesting enough, when people are undergoing sad or happy moments, almost always some 'insights' or ideas will happen to cross their minds but in a wrong timing that they have no place to have them expressed properly. Now that I've found this blogging app named Blogsy, I'm feeling pretty excited to know how it will work with my blog. :D
I'm not paid to write this but just wanna share with other bloggers who might be interested, and yea I'm using it now! :)

This is the second blogging app I have in my iPad after I deleted the first one. The previous one had a very simple interface, but too simple that little customization could be done especially the size of the uploaded photos, as you can see, all photos here are all big and fit just nice, right? Hehe.
Now I can upload photos straight from my camera roll and Picasa, share nice videos from YouTube, insert interesting info from google and have the font setting just how I wanted it to be in my blogpost through my iPad!
COLORFUL! Finally a quality blogging app!
Till then!
