Useless
-------------------------------------------------------
Omg. Yes, I wanted to write about twilight!
I know why I love and not so much love the book.
I love it because it sounds like something I would write. So that would be a mixture of LAME, and everything falling into place. [I wrote stories and everything always fitted, like I share a tent with the guy I like, My friends would share a tent with the guys they liked--I was very idealistic okay. I bet Stephenie Meyer wrote it out of her own fantasy too]
Stephenie Meyer is an OKAY writer. Her story is very---to say cliché would be too cliché and predictable sounds too similar---basically it was just very...perfect. HAHA Everything fell into place and there was no element of surprise---so that was crap!
And as my good friend Rosie said... the only thing good with that book was the sexual tension between the two main characters.
HEHE
strue. Not planning on reading the second one. Unless the movie is good :D
-----------------------------------------------------------------
me: YEAH!
Joel: right? all we do is eat together and hang out in your house.
me: YEAH!
me: YEAH! me too :)
At my doorstep. Though no green vegeee :(
Penang Laksa and Mee Sua and Rojak! ala 1u
Pasta Zanmai 1u
Sha-Lene's parents invited(/forced me to come) for lunch with them.
Had buffet at Shogun a la 1U---Not that I'm complaining of course! hahaha
Love. Peace. Chicken Grease
Ps. I know my posts are pretty boring with all my food-escapades. Can't exactly take pictures in the cinema! ;p

Penang lang
But I'll share with you what I thought was a brilliantly part of the movie 'Four weddings and a funeral'
The first one was in the industrialized area (trade free zone);
And the second was in town, right on Gurney Drive; The G hotel.
Equatorial's hotel sucked (I thought).
Nothing was nice. The food, the room, the free food, the location.
EVERYTHING.
We were booked for a Junior suite but they upgraded us to an Executive Suite (So that was the only up side)
Like 5bucks is nothing to you. but for my dad, its usually NO bucks okay.
pft....Some 5star hotel!
Okay and the free lounge food:
This was about the best---and thats saying alot!
Rasa Sayang gave us cocktails and mocktails and champagne and 3-tier english tea sets.
Waste of calories.
His directions in the industrial area was really rusty. We even made a silly (mistake) trip back over the Penang bridge!
I'm so cool.
Lorong Selamat for Char Kueh Teow and Curry Mee :)
Yum!
Lorong Selamat. Expensive CKT but big prawns.
Curry mee is good too!
DaddyMummy!
And my parents bedroom.
We had a driver to drive us all around town.
So we hit the malllllllls :)
Omg. A step up even though its technically a step down (4star) :p
A view from the lounge.
Our check-in counter was on the 15th floor--which was where the lounge wass ;p
Okay so the Deluxe sweet wasn't as big as the other hotel.
But everything else was better,
Swimming pool, free food, breakfast, etc. :)
Oh I slept with my mum's friend the first night haha :p
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I have good memories and special moments in them :p
The bath tub overlooks Gurney drive.
I had 4 baths in total during my stay there (2 days) :p
Oh yes. I really have some winter likes;
Like wearing gloves that just came off the radiator,
Wearing a jumper that just came out the dryer,
New bed sheets,
I now like, warm-bordering-extremely-hot baths in cold weather!
Forgot to mention my room number:
I enquired about 1408 though. They said it was a normal room (as in a standard room---as opposed to anti-supernatural)
At night had Seafood by the sea (with my daddy's cousins!)
(he insisted I called him that)
Gosh, I actually ate these buggers.
I swear. The things I do to make people happy.
It was bearable--but the psychological part of eating it really irked me.
But I did it. ate and ate--like I enjoyed it.
Just like the next day when after my dad and I gobbled food in the lounge, I ate another dinner just to make my mother happy :( urgh. not good.
Gurney Drive by Day:
And by night!
oOoh. I finished the chicken!
Daddy and I had a day together cuz mama went to work. And we basically watched TV and went to Gurney Drive Complex which was right next door to our hotel.
He bought a swimsuit for 40% off.
"You know when I was younger I used to buy Speedo's all the time, Now I just buy the lousy ones"
sure thing. Chicken wing.
Ooh!
Our last night in Penang; Went to Pulau Tikus for some hor fun:
My mama: HEY! take a picture for Joel!
Daddy: Wow. Not bad ah. Even before he gets a degree he can start a clinic!
And my watch hunt:
When I saw Hann Yee's watch-----fell in love.
haha Immaaa get a similar one okay. Dont worry, you'll be in New Zealand, and I'll be in UK! :)
BATHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE :)
I miss it already! haha

Cuisine
I slept most of the journey back and I'm still tired, so this is going to be just a post with pictures and maybe some commentary :)
Joel drove us in to KL---the jam was mayhorly crazy.
Cock-eyed sister and Silly Andrew
With mummy :) who had to take a train halfway through her journey because it was just that jammed
:)
The lousy soft shell crab that day
Oh and sushi zanmai's lousy emaki.
and
We had Tony Romas :)
Salad (half chicken?)
The first time eating at NewYork NewYork Deli with ZhiVen and SeeKi.
Second time was when Marcus was down in KL
and
Third time with Joel and SeeKi.
Mostly Post-Gym. ;p
Zhi Ven talking passionately. Theres a pic of seeki too, but she might kill me :p

Sore cow
I need to get my name in the newspapers or summat.
On another note, Stephanie's face is going to be released on poster advertorials ALL OVER Bangkok.
No surprise for him because he kept spying on phones that DONT BELONG TO HIM.
He also knew what his present was because he did the aforementioned.
AND he also told seeki her present before she opened it.
AND!
Yeah, you get my drift.
Celebrated at Restoran Banquet @ BangsarVillage2
Apparently, 'better side's do exist :p
Happy belated Birthday girl! Sorry I couldnt make it to your place and couldn't contact you either!
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO YOU TOOO!! :)
Don't order lousy fish dish.
Rationing our food..what are we? Going through war? I dont think so.

3desserts
I just got back from the bank--not from depositing nor banking in money----- just to use their phone. HAHAHA My dad is such a cheap banana. Basically I had to call the HSBC UK branch to get a new debit card for myself cuz Its funny cuz we went to the premier area to make that free phone call (reserved for premier account holders) and the guy on the other line was obviously waiting to serve a 'premier' customer--but my UK bank account there had like....£20 max? HAHAHA
*shy
Anyways thats it really as far as my 'interesting' story goes.
I've been staring at allllllll their charms recently.
Stare. Stare. Stare.
Matching which goes with which, but I say they did a really good job matching:


Pink and green, I never knew went together so nicely :p
oOoh. Sparkly. Oooh Shiny. 
:) so girly.
Theres one in the booklet that has pearls and they matched it with some pink charms. I thought that was pretty darn smart. creamish with pink. SO sweeeet!!

How amay-zing am I?
Lousy.
Gone are the days of Japanese food, I am now drawn to Italian. (It must have been the carbonara a la shook!)
Went to Ministry of Food a la Pavilion (again), This time we were shopping for ZhiVens prezzie :)
Her green tea ice creamy thing.
And my Chocolate bla bla thing.
Not bad not bad.
If we combined ours, we couldve eaten in haagan dazz :p
(Craving some of their ice cream right now!)
Hopped over to Nikki's place to help him pack his stuff. He was IpohBound the next morning and we had to pretend we were going through a divorce while these newlyweds were happily moving in :p
A short trip to the petrol station took us on a mini detour to the PJ Drive-thru A&W

The first of the June Babies
OMG. So while in the gym today I was watching The Daily 10 (Normally on E! channel 712 but it was) showing on AXN and APPARENTLY (and this I can't confirm cuz the gym only shows them images without the sound) the lead actor and actress of Twilight, Edward Cullen and Bella whatever, ARE DATING. omg omg. 
Okay I was completely and irrevocably in love with the book at first because if you ever were a girl, and had a major crush on a guy/many guys at one go, at the tender age of pre-teen and early teen, you can sorta relate to the childish thoughts, obsession, bedazzalation---- BASICALLY, the early part made me squeal like a billion and one times.
I am lame. admittedly.
But then the story line started going downhill when they declared their love for each other, its all kinda stupid.
For bella:
Like she only loves him because he's and 'in-built' predator. Everything about him is alluring (and to quote from the book) "I'm the worlds best predator...everything about me invites you in---my voice, my face, even my smell"
So she's clearly obsessed for the wrong reason.
AND for Edward:
"Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin"
LIKE HELLOOO? You're totally addicted to her blood, not in love with her.
Sheeash. I havn't finished the book. Can't believe I'm writing about it already. haha
-------------------------------------
So many parents must have gotten jiggy with it 21 years, 9 months and 2 weeks ago. Apologies if I put grotesque images in you mind.Its NOT even mid June and I'm broke. I was living on nothing and now I'm living on RM30.
So the first June baby of the month. aiyah. Ms. See Ki. My girlfriend. My gym buddy. My steam room buddy. My study buddy (and by that I mean she talk, I listen :p).
Sooo Nicholas, Zhi Ven and I took See Ki to shook! a la Starhill for dindins. :)
And by 'TOOK', I mean she drove me there la but we paid for dinner. haha
I wore the ugliest thing.. but still:
*A beautiful sight
*STARE
*ew
*HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
See Ki and I
"See Ki! If you're not going to wear a nice dress on your birthday, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO?!":) See the water in the glass. Freaking RM5 per bottle. meh.
Virgin Lychee Margarita. (Did I mention I kinda grew out of alcohol?)
I've tasted many food in my life but that was the best carbonara ever.
mmmmmmmm*
He also told SeeKi what her present was before she had a chance to open it! :p
Shared Pizza
(We were very hungry)
Haih. Dinner was so good. I was sooo happy with my carbonara.
AND THEN!
waiters burst out in song for the birthday girl:
SEE KI!
person who wears a cross. weirdo :p

Genting #3
and she went:
[SeeKi, my share wasn't RM15 alright--if you're still trying to calculate :p]
I digress, but let my shoe say 'HI HI' to you :)
:)
Its white and pink. Its so subtly girly--me likey :)
(albeit very chunky monkey)
Ooh.. so ZhiVen got us two week passes to use Celebrity Fitness a la 1U.
So SeeKi, Joel and I tagged alongggggg. So good la. I love commercialized gyms.
Its either that or the company. SeeKi and I were singing while we cycled (obviously not doing enough if we weren't out of breath)
Our locker
hee hee hee :)
-----------------------------------------------
Went up to Genting again the other day with Joel.
Dying for the ridessssss cause the last trip up was a no-go.
c-bai-c-muck school holiday c-bai-c-muck.
SOOOOOOOOO many people. c-bai.
I think all in all we only sat 4 rides. 2 of which were the same ride cuz it was a pretty fast ride (ie. 1 minute)
*sigh
The journey up was a happy one though because we were oblivious to the c-bai-c-muck/cina-lala-ah-beng-chai infestation. knn.
my stupid hair. I blend in well with my surroundings, what can I say!
knn. Line so long.
c-bai long line.
Sat on the pirate ship ride. We were invariably the loudest.
Because Joel is a *meow!
and I have a super scream :p

Of Japanese food
Toffee is not territorial at all (sheeeash!)
Basically lou stole his ball, and all he did was stand there and stare at her while she
*lick lick lick bite bite bite
And toffee loves his ball, more than anything. Though, not more than food (you know he's family when he has traits that run in the family)
Do you see the plausible relation?
I am so grotesquely obese :'( urgh.
Marcus birthday dinner @ NinjaJones a la Mid Valley
The RM12 soft shell crab temaki...was OK.
My most-likely-expensive-dish (salmon rice?) ..was OK.
The FREE green tea...was samesame.
Haiyah.
Marcus' surprise present. hehe
(no pictures of the birthday boy. no surprise there)
After the kampachi buffet, MORE Japanese food. (Surprised)
Sushi Zanmai @ 1U
(which I will keep saying, because it never gets old; Mucho better than the SZ at Gardens MV.
Oh and totally unrelated, but related because it happened on the same day;
Claypot rice @ Restoran Busy Corner, DJ
Then after Marcus left, I had Ichiban Boshi again with Zhi Ven, Nikki and Joel.
Very proud to say that their soft shell crab temakis are pretty filled up with rice now :)
Thanks to Marcus' six stamps, we had all the free stuff (agedashi tofu, some chicken special dish from the 'special' menu)
SoreCow Zhi Ven. Its quite funny watching him wait at the conveyor belt for a good 5 minutes and then moving to another area waiting and waiting for the RM2.50 plates to come by :p
And if that wasn't enough.....
Dessert at Ministry Of Food.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Happy Joel :)
to reiterate (Just in case you do decide to read my blog, dear marcus)
My sister's boyfriend (Andrew!) is in town. So we might make a family trip down :)
Joel and I met Hsein Wei and Chris for dessert at Godiva :)
Because I learnt from my Genting trip, not to have hot chocolate EVER. Its nice but it gets a little too rich and sickening... I had Cappucino
Well Hsein Wei just asked for a casual dessert day out but I later found out it was his BIRTHDAY! la la la.
Hsein Wei is wayy old too :p
Totally let him order the cake he so wanted to order even though he was pretty reluctant to order the dark choc and white choc one because I said I didn't like either. The minute I said, order what you like lah
*ZOOP. (do you understand?haha)
white choc with truffle: sucks amazing balls.
OMG!
proud much?

HELP!
DiGi has this amay-zing thing going on. Basically, all you have to do is *click click click!
I don't know what the catch is..hmmm..
:)
[conversely you can click on my nuffnang advertorials to get to the site!]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know how insanely crazy and upset I'd be if my toffee-banoffee pie goes missing,
They're only 10 months old.
Poor poppies!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
GEORGE WONG won Acoustic Showdown @ Urban Attic, Cap Square KL. 

His second song, my favourite of his songs probably won 'us' over. :p

CONGRATULATIONS PORGE!
