Me@ Motorshow & Birthday Bash.....

I was finally over with my lazy bone! It was indeed good holiday and rest last week. The whole city was pretty quiet and I don’t get my usual non-stop ringing from my customers. Boy, time does pass very quickly. I still remember waiting anxiously for the “Raya” (not that I’m celebrating it but more of a good opportunity to take a break!) today it’s over…. It’s like the holiday has just comes and gone so quickly! When you are under work stress or unpleasant moment, the time feels like forever and torturing but when it’s good time…time fly like nobody business…hmmmm… I didn’t do much during the “Raya” though. I was just being a bum watching Chinese drama in which all my friends said I got conned for purchasing from a CD seller for RM40.00 for 40 episodes! Oh, well it was worth it cos I couldn’t get my lazy bum off the couch….I was practically glued to the TV, not brushing/washing my face in the morning till late afternoon…You guys must be wondering what Chinese drama is it right? Well, the title of the drama is called “Pau Yu” means Abalone. It’s a story of feud and battle of family’s wealth. It’s highly recommended and I’m not the sort of person that fancy watching Chinese drama.


Anyway, yesterday (22 October 2007), it was a very productive day. I went to this Motorshow with my bf at KLCC Convention Centre. To tell you the truth, I'm not motorbike person. I was actually dragged over to see the show. Overall, i would rate it 3 star! My bf was disappointed too cos it was not as BIG as he imagine. Let's just say you can finished seeing everything in 15 minutes! Except those crazy bikers in which i think they are willing to spent hours inside! Not many girls, mostly guys who went there (Duh, as usual!) Maybe i don't understand much about bike just like a guy that will NEVER get our girls obsession over shoes and clothing!

This is the Motorshow 2007 . Luckily i was in time to watch the modeling show at the runway. Let me put this way. The quality of the model was very very bad! They either look too "Cina" / flatface or some really bad at catwalk and some trying to be cool but was NOT! There was one particular women who got the crowd cheering and she won the Ms. Motorshow over our Malaysians model! You guess it right...she was a "Mat salleh"...Scroll down and you know what i mean

DSCN0558

This was some of the showcase bike.....

DSCN0550

More bikes......Anyone can help me to tell the difference??

DSCN0562

And yet more bikes.....hmmmmm..The only thing i know off is the different color. Shucks...now i wish i could have watch more show on "American Chopper"...Maybe then i would understand about bikes!


DSCN0519

This is one of the model at the runway show..non-stop camera clicking when she was walking out and doing her turn...

DSCN0526

She has a petite figure but has very flat bum though....and flat face too...the typical "Chinese" look. You know what i mean?

DSCN0549

This is the model who won the Ms. Motorshow title..She got the most cheered and whistle and claps from the crowd..She has a very pretty face and nice figure..but according to my bf, she has "THUNDER THIGHS"....what do you guys think? Sorry guys...the picture quality is really bad (cos' am not very good at using my S200 Nikon camera....(Sad to say i got a good camera but suck at taking such photos....well think i need to take photography 101!!)

DSCN0540

Look at how the guys ogle at those models ....careful...your saliva is dripping and going to wet the floor!!

DSCN0517

Exploitation of women!! Using women dressed in skimpy clothing and posing at motorshow. I wonder why they never used a men? If they used men that has "6 packs", i'm sure they will also attract women crowd, don't you agree?

DSCN0581
My friends said the one on the left look like "Amber Chia" (Our Malaysian model)...what do you guys think? The way they posed could turn any guy one...Hahahaha...

DSCN0582
This was the close-up shot i took on how they were posing...don't you think it will drive any guys run wild with imagination....GIRLS....BIKE....and not any bike...SUPER BIKE!!!

DSCN0587

Another model trying to steal the lime light from the 2 girls!!

DSCN0588

She trying to be cute!!

DSCN0583
She trying to be sexy!!

DSCN0586
Of all the girls...i would say she is the best looking. She didn't try to hard to be sexy....

Phew....boy was it tiring looking at all the "same" bikes...And there goes my afternoon program which was an eye opening to me! Gone with that and comes the night program in which i had done a little belated birthday party for my friend/ex-colleague's (yup yet another birthday party….hahahaha) at this steamboat place, called “Mother” at Bandar Puteri Puchong (Behind Citibank). They serve 2 types of soup..one is the herbal soup and the other is the spicy one. I prefered the herbal soup though cos the spicy one was abit on the spicy side but not much taste. It is a buffet style in which it cost around RM21/per person. Price was reasonable for the amount of varieties found there. They have fresh fish,beef and chicken unlike some place in which they only serve fish ball, beef ball which are all made of flour! Oh yeah...i went back to the same cake shop, "MIKI OJISAN" to buy the cake....hehehe...but this round i went to the one in KLCC, Isetan. It's located at the top floor near the supermarket area, next to "Sun Moulin" bakery.

DSCN0592
This are the range of other dessert sold in this shop!! The one i recommended is the "Rolls" and also their Chocolate brownies (cost RM5.00/pc)

DSCN0591
This are the range of cakes they have....According to the staff, the best selling was the Chocolate Moist Cheesecake, Peanut Butter, Mango and follow by Rasberry.....Doesn't it look yummy...

DSCN0590
He/she is the friendly staff who did the packing for me....

RSCN0673
This was the packaging box....isn't nice?? And if you flip to the other side, it tells you the story of their cheesecake.....

RSCN0670
Tada .....this was the chocolate moist cake i bought for Jimmy's birthday. I thought it was the same chocolate cheesecake i got for Laura's birthday...but turned out Laura's was pure cheesecake with chocolate coating. And this one was sponge cake with chocolate coating with abit of cheese. Anyhow, for those who doesn't like cheesecake, this is a better option cos the chocolate still taste excellent! Jimmy couldn't stop eating it! I would highly recommend buying cakes from this cake shop cos so far they are selling really quality cake compare to a lot of places!

DSCN0593
This was the 2 types soup i was referring to earlier. The one on the left is herbal soup (thumbs up!!) but the one on the right was tasteless....All you can taste of is spicy (Thumbs down).

DSCN0611
This was the after picture....after the 2 guys had too many of the spicy soup!! See how red their face were...Looks like 2 lobster....

DSCN0597
My friend Chai, JImmy (birthday boy) and "T-bone" enjoying the steamboat.....

RSCN0676
Trying to eat the chicken sparepart (I think)....Eeewh...definitely not my favorite....

RSCN0667
This is the restaurant that I was referring to.....Try it out. I won't say it is the best but price was reasonable. The only thing i didn't like about it was the tables were too near to each other. Not much space to move.....I would give the atmosphere a 5 out of 10. When it gets crowded, it's stuffy and noisy....Decor was olden day chinese and will appeal to those who likes old chinese painting.


RSCN0668
Our next stop after the steamboat.....we wanted to sing the birthday song but the steamboat place was definitely not the "it" place.....So we decided to walk behind and found this little cafe....They serve mostly western food and different types of coffee.....

DSCN0657
This is the front entrance...It looks kinda cosy and nice from the outside....however, once enter it was shocking! The color wall that they used was yellow....Definitely not very cosy!! I didn't like it at all. I won't return if you ask me....

RSCN0672
The most shocking when we ordered the so-called "Brazil Coffee", they serve us the "TESCO" sugar.....The cup of coffee was charged to me at RM6.50!! And all i get is TESCO sugar?? The coffee was so bland like water. I think if we buy "Nescafe" and brew it ourself it's so much cheaper....So thumbs down to this place. Ambience: 3 star, Food & drink: 2 star!! NOt recommended...so please don't go unless you guys run out of place to hang out!

DSCN0634
Anyway, we manage to open ceremony at this restaurant....we asked for a lighter and guess what turns out? The waiter brought "humongous" fire lighter for the "Tiny" candle!!


DSCN0615
And finally our group photos.....the one who all celebrated JImmy's birthday...Overall, had a very nice time......

Marie Digby

Hi all was listening to radio today and keep on hearing the Acoustic version of the song "Umbrella".Actually i have been hearing this for weeks and thought it was sung by Rihanna herself but made it in acoustic.I fell in love with this acoustic version cos it's more catchy.Also, the voice is really magnificent! What do you guys think? When i was told that it was sung by another person in "Youtube". She became so famous was viewed 20,000 per day! So decided to see how she looks like and searched on "Youtube"...... and she is really good looking with fantastic voice. I think she could be the next upcoming artist. Her name is Marie Digby and she is a mixed of Japanese-Irish-American. No wonder she has really pretty features. Please look at the videos i posted here.



Rihanna "Umbrella" songs, acoustic version. This was the one that made her famous and got a record deal!

Marie Digby's original song, "Invisible"-Her song debut after being signed by record company.



This is another of her original song called, "Stupid For you". But her dog, Misty came out of nowhere to disrupt her. Isn't the dog a cutie??

So, people....what do you think of her? Vote for her...hahahaah

Singapore Wedding Experience


Last Friday (28th Sept 07), I went down to Singapore with my parents taking the "Nice" bus.It was a real nightmare cos the amount that we paid , RM66 is totally not worth it. The bus was so run-down and the food sucks! And on top of that, the bus had some kind of "fish" smell. I definitely would not recommend anyone to take this bus. I heard that the "Transtar" bus which cost around RM80 is quite good. I might want to try it the next round. I heard the chair has a massage function too. Hmmmm....

The main reason i went to Singapore this round was to attend my "niece" wedding. Yup, you got it right, "niece". She is from China, Hainan Island, 22 years old who got married to a Singaporean guy whose profession is making "Rojak". I heard his Rojak is very popular and tasty though. Apparently, one of my Singapore cousin pull the strings between both of them. He passed the photos to him (i heard the photos was during her high school years!Luckily he took a chance or never knew he hit the jackpot!) Anyway, my niece also tried passing me some photos of my other niece/ friends in China who is also looking for a husband here. However, the photos was all the close-up shots that look more like "Maid" photos! I told her to get me more natural shots rather than "Indon/Philippino" look-alike....So, the next round when i get hold of her photos i will post it here for those single and eligible men seeking China women!




My cousin, Joyce 's "HDP" flat. She let us all had the whole flat by ourselves...isnt it cool? It;s like a villa! Though it's small but very clean and comfortable!! And nice decor too, don't you think so?










This is the hallway of the house.....












Close-up shots of my cutie nephew Tristen. My bro deicded to name him after Brad Pritt character in the movie, "Legend of the Falls".














My nephew, Tristen...Isn't he cute? My mom decided to buy him some stuff animals but he chose the sunflower cos he is currently in studying in "sunflower" class....














Yup, this is my "niece" and the "Rojak" hubby.....Sigh....i'm now an "Auntie"!!













I don't know how to address them except my auntie on the far right. THe one in red shirt is my dad's bro (china) son and the wife. The older lady is the wife's mom. So this are the parent of my niece (on top).











Me giving Angpau to my "niece and the hubby at the tea ceremony session!














This is my Singapore cousin bro, Ron with his 2nd wife.











My family having our steamboat fishhead at the new "Ang Mo Kio" mall. We were at their food court there on Sunday while waiting for the wedding dinner. My dad had their "Char Keow Teow" and it was one of the worst Char Keow Teow ever cos it was SWEET!! I guess SIngaporean must come to Malaysia to taste ours and learn how to cook proper Char Keow Teow!








Joyce's son, Marcus, "the devil"....I asked him to pose in front of the "mini" casino. Yes there is a Casino right inside the shopping mall. And the best part is , it is just next to their Cinema!!












This is the mini casino, called "NTUC" club...I got a sneak peak inside and mostly it's Jackpot machine.










Whatever happen to the men??2 hardworking lady flipping the pancake....And it;s not just any normal pancake shop. It;s "durian" pancake. Yup and it;s real tasty too. The shop is called, "Four Season" and it is available at the "Ang Mo Kio" mall.











This is the front counter where everything is made out of durian....like tarts, swiss roll, cakes and cookies and etc....I think we do have one similar shop in Malaysia too in Midvalley but it didn't do well. Hmmm and i wonder why??













This is the Bride's room at the Marina Mandarin Hotel. My bro the photographer of the night with his "hi-tech" camera. My sis law all dressed up sitting on the bed with Marcus..And my niece at the back having her hair and make-up for "showdown"!









See the hours that the bride need to goes through just to look pretty for the night.....sigh....














The waitress opening act before serving the first dish!. Same like what we do here in K.L. THe only difference was they went up the stage, stood there and did a little cha-cha move towards the music.








The first dish of the night!Overall was ok...there is the slimy stuff (my favorite though cos i can chew it like rubber!), mayo shrimps, some stuff hot-dog(see the red round thing...yup that was a hot dog!!)
