iTalk Whoa! is getting cheaper!

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Mon, 24 May 2010 14:45:00 +0000

I’ve recently been using the iTalk Whoa portal, testing out its features and seeing how it suits my life on the Internet. I have to say that I’m impressed! With the iTalk Whoa portal, my life on the Internet’s been made a whole lot easier!

As mentioned before in my previous post, the portal incorporates all your Internet social needs into one single website. So no more having to log in to many different websites and have a gazillion tabs opened, etc. etc. etc. I’m sure you get the gist of it.
The email function is one of the features which I’ve been using the most, mainly because I have several different email accounts for different purposes. It is a time consuming and tedious process to log in to my emails on different websites, especially when you have two different emails from the same host and you have to log out and log in again. The portal is something similar to Microsoft’s Outlook Express, except, it’s much more simpler to figure out and easier to work with. I’ve never been a fan of Outlook Express honestly, because of its crappy interface and non-user friendliness. The iTalk Whoa portal on the other hand, is simplistic and user-friendly which is great for me, as I’m not exactly a very tech savvy person. Now, with the portal, instead of having to log in to different websites which host my emails, I just log in to the portal and voila, my emails are all forwarded there! So by logging in to the portal, I’m actually logging in to 5 different email accounts through one single login.

And on top of that, it includes a Twitter program too, which I love, being an absolute Twitter-holic.

Although I consider the email feature to be the best part of the portal, it has this great feature where it works just like a mobile phone as well. The portal allows you to make phone calls and send text messages internationally! Did I mention at extremely cheap rates too? The IDD calls rates are 7 cents/minute, and the rates for text messages are 10 cents/text local and 60 cents/text international. Works like a prepaid card, so all you have to do is keep it topped up.

The registration process only takes seconds!

Daddy's birthday dinner

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 10:39:00 +0000

I always make an effort to work, save and spend on my family during special occasions like birthdays. But this time round, bubs and I both spent daddy and the family for his birthday at Good Evening Bangkok, 1U. We ordered so much food and everyone was so bloated after the meal. :D

Some of the food ordered.

The imba tomyam soup.

My favorite dish: Steamed fish with lime, garlic & chilli

Nigel, Ah Pa, Ah Ma, Natasha & myself

The Fongs' & bubs

I took some time out to have some shisha while reading new issue of Popteen, chilling out at Starlight. And at the end of the night, we were all watching crazy sick videos. We saw like some autopsy video of a drug overdosed chick (somemore she got boob implants!) and a random dude who chopped off his ku ku jiao and balls just for the BME pain olympics.

WTF.

But we continued to dim sum after that also. Hahaha! :D

Yong Tau Foo brinjal & fried carrot ze best!

Nom nom nom~

I am currently having a 2 week break from uni and finally, The Taylor's School of Communications are moving to the lakeside campus! Time to say bye bye to Leisure Commerce Square! With all the assignments piling up aside, this is probably the last time I'm going to step foot into Velvet/Phuture! Missed Ferry Corsten though.

Much love bubs!

Jingi's Birthday Dinner

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 10:41:00 +0000

Me, Marciano and Ernest went Daorae, Ara Damansara for Jingi's belated birthday dinner. It is not good to put two girls with a common "enemy" and two guys who we girls thought were the ultimate satellite who receive imba news -- gossips. We really sat there and yak yak for more than 3 hours including after dinner tong sui session at Hong Kong, SS2.

1, 2, kenichi. :D

Jingi & Ernest

Myself & Marciano

And some overdue photos from iTalk Whoa event with Jaclyn. (:

Ah yes, I should start posing the right profile more. (:

It has been always a 'thing' for boyfriend girlfriend to cook, bake and berfoya-foya in the kitchen. Hahahaha so bubs and I decided to take a trip to Tesco to get some groceries to cook dinner last week! But what I didn't know was that the future in-laws, his god father and also his best friend are having dinner with us. D:

Then, bubs pulled me into this pet shop to pick out some snacks for Princess Kayles (boyfriend's bao bei dog). And uhh... I nearly bought another silky terrier to replace her! The pup was really, really, really cute, was only 2 months old, born on Valentines Day! Fuuh, luckily managed to control and ran out of pet store.

I even named it "Baby" and played with it for an hour. (- -)

FYI, I did not buy and cooked the Maggi Mee.

Hmm, tasty! (:

Servings on dinner table with Princess Kayles begging for human food

Clockwise from top left: Steamed tofu with fried dried shrimps & shallots (just learnt), black soy sauce chicken, tomatoes garlic prawns & stir fry bak choy.

Currently still stuck at amateur level but managed to get thumbs up from all the important people of the boyfriend. I need to compile more recipes into my new recipe book for the future!

My very own online data organizer

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 06:32:00 +0000

An email collaborator! Combine all your Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo Mail & personal emails in one.
Twitter program
Make phone calls & send texts using your computer with cheap international rates.
Has calendar function.
Contacts. Works like a handphone.

iTalk Whoa!, an innovative web portal brought to you by our very own local communications company we've come to know as TM. I've been using this portal for a while now, and I have to say, it absolutely simplifies my life on the virtual world.

Let's begin by talking about the convenience iTalk Whoa! brings. I am now able to collaborate all my personal email accounts in one. It defeats the need to log in to all the various websites, which host my email accounts, and log in to them one by one. That can be an extremely time consuming process. What iTalk Whoa actually does is download all my emails (Gmail, Hotmail & my personal school emails too) to one place where I am able to organize, read and delete. It has Push email capabilities too, which basically forwards my emails and attachments to my mobile phone.

As you all know, I tweet a lot, and I am pretty much a Twiiter fanactic! That's where iTalk Whoa! comes totally in handy! This is the second feature of iTalk Whoa! which I adore, the Twitter program that it includes. I can now tweet and having to have 10 different tabs of emails and Twitter opened, and needing to switch between them?

The other feature which iTalk Whoa! fully emphasizes on, is its ability to allow users to make a phone call and send a text message through your PC. And can I say, it comes with jaw dropping international rates too! 6 cents to Hong Kong... I can talk to my friends & family members abroad now for hours at inexpensive rates. Wow! And alike a mobile phone, it had the capabilities to store all my personal contacts as well. How appealing do you find iTalk Whoa! portal now. :D It also features a personal and note data entry. Enter your appointments, and you'll be reminded of it when it comes.

To sum it up, I'd have to say iTalk Whoa is easy-to-use, provides great conveniece, has amazing organizational functionality and makes my life on the virtual world so much easier. It cutes down the time consuming processes of using the Internet and now, I've gt so much more free time to do my extra tasks such as blog, do my assignments and chill out with friends. Maybe with the time on my hands, I should take up some language classes (one of my new year resolution!).

PS: Register now and you'll get RM 5 credit for free!

The past week was just amazing! Bubs surprised me with my red bean tong sui that he promised. And purposely asked me walk down to get it -- just to find out he had brought along a handmade card, charm bracelet and a stalk of pink roses. His presents are coming soon right after all the assignments. (:

Happy 8th months babykins! ♥

Besides that, bubs and I went stationary shopping at Popular bookshop after class. It's been a while ever since I've bought any new stuffs to add on to the collection at home. Pilot came out with a whole range of colour mechanical pencils now and I grabbed the pink one home of course.

Fendy came along too! :D

Estee and I watched the boys' game on Tuesday too! While they were busy kicking balls and sweating, we were actually working on our presentation on our iPhones (and doing the girl thing -- gossip lah). Technology rocks!

Happy 6th Birthday Zouk!

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 14:20:00 +0000

It was even crazier in comparison to the previous one -- the decorations, the booze & most importantly the people. I really really liked the "Alice in the wonderland-ish" decoration at the ticketing area. Just that it wasway too muddy and there goes my favorite black pumps. /:

PS: Loads of photos ahead slowly enjoy lah. :D

Sooki, Jessie & me

"Where are my light paintings?!"

Be prepared if you are planning to take up Mass Communication courses after graduating from high school and no it is not as simple and easy as you think it is. It is all about the never ending assignments, assignments and assignments. For the moment, I have 5 pending assignments due on the end of March and early April. D:

PS: See you at Zouk 6th Anniversary (The Mad Hatter's Party) this Friday!

The Carrera Cup

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:25:00 +0000

Kudos to myself for the new layout that I hand coded hours before! Actually, I have to get some sleep to go to work early (say 5am?) tomorrow but suddenly got hooked to Photoshop & some new CSS styles. Oh, I was working for an hour only for the Carrera Cup's press conference. The Porsche Carrera Cup race is going to be exciting tomorrow I bet.

PS: Sorry ah, nowadays the photo quality not as nice as my Canon S90 one's because iPhone easier to sneak it around to take photos for blog. (:

Natacha (the hot French chick I mentioned in Twitter), Carace & myself

If only I was 6 inches taller, I am probably the shortest car model wtf!

Bubs: My designated chauffeur at all time! :D

Late Valentines Day's Present

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:59:00 +0000

This year's Valentine's Day ngam ngam falls on Chinese new year, makes it kind of hard to plan any surprise for bubs. Initially I wanted to hand make some stuff but I ran out of ideas. In the end, I bought bubs something that he don't have yet -- a watch!

So that he will remember me all the time!

Rebonding my hair at mom's salon (so nice having a hairdresser mom). :D

Weekend #1

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:32:00 +0000

Dragged bubs & Kayles to watching 'Fresh with Anna Olson' with me! :D

Sophomore

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 20:29:00 +0000

The 5 months holiday has ended and I am back in uni for semester 3. Most of the subjects seems pretty interesting but I think Taylor's should do a better job on the timetable since there are many classrooms available and the rest of the students from another course have moved to the new campus. Hmm, assignments this semester have gone to another level of madness.

It feels great to be around the girls and the rest of the uni classmates though. :D

New thick framed glasses!

Meet my twin. :D

God of Heaven's Prayer

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:28:00 +0000

The eve of Jade Emperor's birthday falls on the 8th day of Chinese New Year. So, I went over bub's place to kepochi what's all this about. I really thought it was gonna be a small prayer event with the family but really it was like a party both on heaven and earth. Question: Why only hokkiens practice this?

So, everything started out with families bringing their own paper bungalows with names on it and pray; fruits, roast pigs (which everyone sapu-ed after prayers), lighting the paper lanterns and fireworks. Everyone went home at about 6 am?

Front view of the altar.

6 roast pigs as offerings to God of Heaven.

Estee, Joee & Natalies

Gene, bubs & Kenneth

Some wtf gambling game called 'Fish, Prawn & Crab' - minimum bet RM 10

Three paper lanterns went up & one came down after that. Failed!

Surprise #2, #3, #4:

You always need a boyfriend like bubs to sweeten your life, I have received countless of surprises from him just for one single birthday celebration! He planned for the group to surprise me at Lemon Garden Cafe, Shangri-La Hotel after the first surprise.

From left to right: Jun, Lionel, Cheryl, Ming Jun, Sunil, Kenneth, myself, bubs, Kristyn & Justin

Then the next night, the girls came and surprised me before the Phuture celebration. Instead of having Fatty Crab for dinner (because the surprise happened too late), we headed to Pelangi to get some of our favorite Nasi Lemak Ayam!

With Cai Jin & Jessie

With Steph, Marciano & Victoria (Marc's lil sis)

Thank you BFF for babysitting me the whole night. :D

Double Hennessy VSOP!

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 16:54:00 +0000

Surprise #1:

Accordingly to bubs, there are more than one surprise for my birthday. So after dinner, bubs insist that I should close my eyes all the way till the surprise destination (He wasn't allow to blindfold me cause I had eye makeup on, muahaha!). OK, I've been trying to find out what kind of surprise he is giving me. Seriously, he has been so secretive for the past weeks.

We reached our destination and he said, "Baby, continue closing your eyes and pick up the phone when I call you okay?" Being clueless, I just guai guai stayed in the car (both eyes closed) for about nearly 45 minutes. Then, I cannot tahan already lo so I open my eyes thinking to myself, "Eh, I don't recognize this place." (- -)

So I called him. He brought me up to the lift, on the way I saw The Gardens Hotel & Residences sign, so immediately I said, "Omg, don't tell me my surprise is in the hotel room!" Old school idea but it works perfectly fine all the time. Mader, he somemore wanna deny and said, "No, who said so la bla bla bla." (:

The most prefect heart shaped candles I ever received. ♥

First sight: Walked into a room filled with rose petals and candles (made the room temperature damn hot).

Happy 20th on the bar counter top.

And on the bed.

Caught-in-action: Lighting the candles last minute! :b

Room service: Bub's Chicken Rice & my RM 22 fruit platter. LOL!

Camwhored for nearly the whole night after that (really one)!

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:09:00 +0000

Originally, bubs told me that we were having my birthday dinner at Sage Restaurant, Gardens. The rating for Sage was 9/10 after checking the review from one of the food review books we bought. Mana tau this so called "it" restaurant called us last minute and told us our table (which was booked a week before) wasn't available because apparently Berjaya group called in last minute to book 90 tables.

Really cannot fight rich people man. Let just say me & bubs' bill would probably end up to be maximum RM 600-700. But Berjaya will spend approximately RM 50k (RM 600 x 90) minimum? Hahaha and yes Sage, I am still angry at you. But never mind, we went to Cafe Cafe at Jalan Maharajalela instead.

For a moment, I thought bubs is flying us off to Paris for my birthday surprise.

And got ourself a bottle of champagne too.

Clockwise from top left: Special chef of the day -- lamb cutlet, Prosciutto with Rock Melons, Clams in white wine & Pan seared Foie Gras

Lucky us, we met Eu Veng and Selena there too!

Clockwise from top left: Lamb Racks, Cod Fillet, Original Chocolate Cake & Lemon Sorbet

Parisian influenced -- damn pretty lo~

Both high on champagne that's why.

Velvet & Phuture [060210]

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 17:01:00 +0000

It is a standard tradition for the gang to finish a bottle of whatever-we-are-having-that-night and head to Phuture's dance floor to kena sardined. Hahahaha! I swear the only reason I love taking clubbing photos is mainly because of the light painting skills I've recently learnt from sifu. From that I also found out that I like blue-ish light paintings more than red. :D

p/s: This post got kinda alot of my guys friends photos, hahaha its only fair as the previous got alot of pretty girls photos. :D

Mmm bubs, this is just picture perfect! (:

Ming Jun, Ken and Bubs

Ken, Justin Ling (also the birthday boy of the night!), Lionel & me

Ladies, Jun is awesomely sweet guy I have to announce!

Shaun Leow, Jun Jun & me

Phuture dancefloor got blue aura, thumbs up! :D

But suddenly change to red, I don't like lo.

Unexpected on dancefloor: Ezra & Chi Khan went clubbing with three other chicks tak ajak me. Hahahaha!

Joee's Suprise Party

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:30:00 +0000

One of the disadvantages of being a February baby is our birthdays somehow clashes with Chinese New Year depending on the Lunar calendar. So, we had to surprise Joee earlier because by the 10th everyone confirmed balik kampung for reunion dinner. By the way, Malaysia roads fail big time as the pointer goes haywire in Google map. /:

Me & bubs: Both also cannot make it when it comes to road direction. (- -)

The similar jelly birthday cake I had for last year's birthday.

Welcome to the 20's club (Yikes, my turn soon!)

The girls: Kimmy, Aubrey, Estee, Ida, Nisrin, Joee (birthday girl), Xinyi, me, Shenye, Janice

From left to right: Aubrey, Estee, Ida, Nisrin, Joee, Xinyi, myself & Shenye

Omg, too many guys already.

Nice bag Aubrey! :D

Die die also must camwhore with Cuppacakes's cupcakes

And more parties to attend after Joee's, me and bubs went over to Redbox Curve to karaoke with the Gardeners. Karaoke + more than 20 people in the room + 6 bottles of Chivas + tonnes of beers + 5 mics + VIP room = Everyone drunk and singing Taylor Swift's songs (as if it was Garden International School's anthem) on the tables. Oh God, luckily I was sober.

From left to right: Bubs, myself, Carmen, Tash & Jon

Justin & friend

LOL what happened to my sandals man?!

Starlight Shisha

budderflyx@hotmail.com (Natalie Fong) — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:21:00 +0000

Last week, Me and Evon was working for one of the Monterez Golf Club event. I swear that particular golf club seriously cannot make it: 1) Far from Petaling Jaya (where we both girls stays mah!) 2) Only see a few Chinese playing there 3) Maintenance of the facilities sucks balls!

By the way, my two pilot friends have opened up Starlight shisha opposite Raffles International College. What's good about this new place is they not only have pineapple head, but also young papaya head & honeydew head. These guys seriously takes the enjoyment of shisha to another level.

Bubs & yours truly.
