I went there a couple of times d.. mostly was for their cheap vegetables + flowers… hehe….nothing much to see there…


Serviced my car for this trip… cuz mine was d newest of them all :P but the stupid EON Service cost me a fortune… T.T … totally broke before going up to Cameron… *sad*

After lunch we rest in the hotel cuz too tired d… and we were getting ready for the night market! Yipee!We didn’t go to Tanah Rata cuz it was quite far…  :P


Cameron - Sher & Lam

#17 I have to say this… both Lam Lam and Sher acted like aunties in this trip… I had a good laugh… they bargained, they chose the best deal… lol… really need to choose the best…but cuz there were too many stalls… so they just bought when they felt like buying.. didn’t really compare.. but the way they choose the fruits and potato really funny… lol…


We just simply bought some food from night market as our dinner… and we slept at 10pm ok?! So tired… lol..


Oh ya! We ate jagung for our dinner also.. Lam Lam wanted to steam her jagung cuz she didn’t want to eat it fresh .. whereby Sher and I ate the raw ones… this only applies to Cameron Pearl Jagung ya… don’t try it on normal jagung.. later you “lau sai” or stomach ache I don’t know :P

Movie Review: Twilight + Twilight Saga

Twilight (Part 1):

Twilight

Image source: www.celebritywonder.com


I missed this movie when it was showing in the cinema… never thought it was a nice show… so didn’t really care to watch it… I copied the downloaded version in my external but also didn’t bother to watch it…


This movie was a big hit in Australia… when I went there in September 09, every book stores also had their posters in the middle of the hallway… their centre of attraction… hmmm….even Pei San, Angelynn, Dancy were so into this story.. Angelynn and Dancy even read all 4 Twilight books… cool!


Till Twilight Saga: New Moon is hitting the cinema… I thought it will opens on 21-Nov-09… so I quickly ask Missy watch with me…


After watching it.. OMFG! I’m so in love with Robert Pattinson… erm… the Edward Cullen character please :P I’m not young girl anymore.. shouldn’t and wouldn’t have the imagination with actors anymore.. :P I’m old.. *sigh* sad sad sad…


Anyway, I don’t like Kristen Stewart.. she just cannot act… arghhhhh…. why can’t they find a better actress and must it be Kristen Stewart???!! I still have to see her on the next 3 episodes >.< Can they change to someone else? :P I’m bad.. I know… but she is just not up to par with Robert Pattinson.. :P


Missy said the storyline was just a normal one.. well.. I have to agree… it was just a normal vampire story… IF not because of Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Kellen Lutz were in the show, I doubt this movie could be such a big hit in every part of the world… so.. we should thank whoever that had chosen them as the actors in this movie… but DEFINITELY NOT KRISTEN STEWART!!


Sorry… I just don’t like her.. she didn’t know how to act… OMFG! Especially she was acting with such a cool and handsome guy… OMFG! Ruined everything… cheh


Oh ya! Btw, with my craze over Twilight + Robert Pattinson lately… I did pay a lot of attention on their news.. and I just realized, Robert Pattinson sang in Twilight!!!


Listen to his song below:

Robert Pattinson – Never Think


Quote from Ben – FlyFM DJ: All Robert did was mumble in the whole song…Can’t even understand what he was singing .. and he just sang a bit bit only… cuz the whole song is just music…


Ahem.. for me… the music is very country-like feel… Robert Pattinson starts to sing after 1:15 min … and honestly I couldn’t get what he was singing.. lol.. sorry to all Robert Pattinson fans… don’t mean to say his singing is bad.. but.. I think he’d be better off venturing his career in acting… :)


Synopsis:

TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teen girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a bit different, never fitting in with the girls at her school. When Bella is sent to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn’t have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Edward has been waiting 90 years for a soul mate, which he finds in Bella. They are soon swept up in a passionate and unorthodox romance. Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will they do when a clan of new vampires – James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) – come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?

Twilight saga: New Moon (Part 2)

Twilight Saga: New Moon

Image source: www.celebritywonder.com


Went to watch this show just now. OMFGGGGG!!!!!! I love this show soooo much! I think I’m gonna scream out loud if I ever see Robert Pattinson in front of me!!! Gosh!!! He is sooooooooooooooo good looking, so handsome, so cool!!!


Ahem…. this part of Twilight didn’t really show much on Robert Pattinson.. I think he acted only 1 hour out of the 2:10 hours show… lol..most was about the friendship between Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart)…


I love the part Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) took off his shirt and he was like a diamond shining when the sunlight shone on him… so cool, so precious. and it was amazing!


Well… I still hate Kristen Stewart…. but I definitely love Robert Pattinson more… Missy said I might like Taylor Lautner more… lol… but I do like Taylor.. he is so charming as well :)


By the way, if really want to compare the acting of the 3 actors and actress (Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart)… the best is still Taylor Lautner…He can act, and he is a Karate holder of XXX belt (I also don’t know.. need google :P )… and most of all… his six packs are for real!! *Saliva dripping* .. lol… I’m like those “se se” auntie d… shit!


Synopsis:

After Bella recovers from the vampire attack that almost takes her life, she looks to celebrate her birthday with Edward and his family. However, a minor accident during the festivities results in Bella’s blood being shed, a sight that proves too intense for the Cullens, who decide to leave the town of Forks in Washington, for Bella and Edward’s sake. Initially heartbroken, Bella finds a form of comfort in reckless living, as well as an even closer friendship with Jacob Black. Danger in different forms awaits.

Yay! I’m broke again

Well well well…. like my title says it all… I’m broke again…this will be a super short post… compared to my past blog posts.. hehe… short and simple right? :P


Reason?


1. Spent on food too much.


2. Spent on petrol.


3. Went on a short holiday with besties.


4. Been broke since I returned from my last trip to Australia.


5. I bought extra make up stuff on Saturday @ Parkson Gurney -> 21-Nov-09


Kose Eye Shadow @ Parkson Gurney

>> Kose Eye Shadow RM 99 + Free loose powder -> erm…I was actually searching for eye shadow palette.. been thinking of buying it online for Victoria Secret – Goddness Clutch.  But till the end I didn’t buy it…cuz the shipping cost was way too expensive and it was in USD… (actually I think it is quite cheap…but… it is more expensive than this Kose Eye shadow by a few MYR) :P


While I’m looking for the VS URL, I found this eye shadow which has 18 eye shadow… OMFG!!!! why din I notice it earlier?!@#$%^&**&^%$$$#$#


*sigh*… sad sad…


Bought another thing there at the same time:


Benefit San Francisco @ Parkson Gurney 2

>> Yay! Benefit! Been considering should I get myself a DR. G BB Cream or this Benefit That Gal… but when I went there tested it out.. I couldn’t resist anymore. The price in Gurney was much more expensive than online around RM 20-50, depends on the product. However, there is a catch of buying online. You have got to spend > USD 115 in order for you to get the free shipping… *sigh*.. meaning you need to spend around RM 425.50 if the conversion rate is USD 1 = RM 3.70.


Then the make up remover… Need to use it IF I’m using BB Cream or That Gal… so I bought from Benefit since I wanted to get it in the first place…


>> Total spent: RM 128 + RM 95 = RM 223… The sales promoter was very helpful and nice… she even gave me tester on the eye concealer (SO easy she had satisfied one..should have asked for more sample ma hor? ) hehe…I “wat” her for their Xmas bag… which customers need to buy their Xmas set only entitled for it… :)


Later on added a new scarf into my collection…..this cost me RM 20…I’m a scarf lovers.. Missy said my face already betrayed me… so the salesgirl won’t reduce the price after I bargained for it… >.<


So yes, I’m officially broke again.. yay! I’m an official shopaholic also :P


P/S: my super short post became long again…*sigh*… Y I didnt see the VS eye shadow? *sigh*

My Singapore short trip on 23-25 Oct 09

This is another out-dated blog. I don’t have time to post it cuz too many blogs waiting to be posted before this one.. lol.. (sounds like I’m so busy.. but I’m really so busy ma :P )


Anyway, the main purpose was to attend Nuffnang Asia Pacific blog awards dinner. Iwas not one of the lucky winner. I’m just a sleeping member of Nuffnang Malaysia. LoL…


Anyway, it was a grand event and I won’t be posting much info about that cuz too many people blog about it. I’m representing my company to attend…so nothing much to blog about also… if I’m one of the nominated blog owner then it will be a different story. LOL…


We reached there around 5pm. Straight to hotel check-in. Then went to search for something to eat.

Food b4 NN Singapore

Me & SY @ Nuffnang Singapore


The hotel’s dinner.. ahem *cough* was not that filing at all. The soup not bad. The appetizer also not bad. The main course also not bad. Of all that were not bad… they were bad cuz they were not filling at all. The dessert was too sweet for me.. and so small piece. If it tasted nice, then sure not enough la! But lucky it didn’t taste nice at all… so… small piece was enough :P I just ate the strawberry only… what a waste >.<

Appetizer @ NN Singapore 2Main Course @ NN Singapore 3Dessert @ NN Singapore 4


Super tired that day. Dozed off once I hit the bed. The hotel on the other hand, was really nice. We stayed in Link Hotel situated at Tiong Bahru there… very simple and cozy. The funny part, we were on the same table as the Link Hotel’s staff. LOL…

Link Hotel @ Singapore 7


The next day we had a very simple breakfast then off we go to meet up Erin. It’s been like 3 years since I last saw her. Well… I met her when I was on my Work and Travel USA programme to Sandusky, Ohio, USA. We were housemates back then. Then she went to Berkeley for her studies and I back to Malaysia for my studies. I kept telling her I will be going SG very soon… but the soon was 3 years later… LOL.. so funny…


Missy and I took MRT to her house. She came to meet us up. We put the luggage back home then out to Haji Lane.


Haji Lane is the latest shopping places for Singaporean. The clothing there was unique and they even have blog shops there. The design was quite special. But pricing wise… hmm…only some were worth to buy. :) I saw one nice shoe.. wanted to buy… which is SGD 54… Missy asked me come back Penang to buy cuz might be cheaper… but till now I can’t find the similar one.. sad.. blame her

Haji Lane Singapore 7


After Haji Lane, we went to the newly opened shopping mall ION mall @ Orchard Road.

Nice car @ ION Mall Singapore 8Me @ ION Mall Singapore 9ION Mall Singapore 10Erin & I @ ION Mall Singapore 11Missy & I @ ION Mall Singapore 12ION Singapore 10


Dinner at this cafe.. forgot the name…should be P.S Cafe… need booking one >.< Environment very nice… cosy and quiet…


Erin’s friend was working that night and we got free fries from him while we were waiting for the boys for almost 1 hours!!!

P.S Cafe @ Singapore 13P.S Cafe @ Singapore 14Fries @ Singapore 15Salad - P.S Cafe @ Singapore 16Cucuk Chicken - P.S Cafe @ Singapore 17


Nah! These two guys made us waited for them 1 hour – Marcus and Britmand >.<


Us - P.S Cafe @ Singapore 18

>> Met them in Work and Travel USA programme as well… :) Britmand in the same department as Sherine and Erin, Marcus and I were in the same department, same food stall :)


After dinner we walked around that area and took a cab to Orchard … need to use MRT back home ma… :) Met Sheryl, Lionel, Marisa, etc at Orchard. hehe…Didnt take any pictures.


The next day we went to the mall near MRT station for our lunch. But the restaurant didn”t allow us to take pictures… sien… I took the food picture only one nia… sad….

Erin and I @ Singapore 20Lunch @ Singapore 20


Time to go home… sad sad… 1 weekend over d… Erin gave me one Victoria Secret lotion… which she promised to send me ages ago… lol… but we didn’t have check in luggage… and the lotion was 200ml… >.< I tried to purchase some liquid in the duty free shops… but they directly sealed the bag.. so I couldn’t put the lotion in… in the end… I bought 2 small bottles fr Guardian which cost me 1.50 SGD!!! MoThaFuCker… so Freaking EXPENSIVE LA!!! Bo huat..I need to save the VS Lotion cuz it’s Erin’s presents to me..


So it looks like this:

Victoria Secret Lotion from Erin 22


There goes my weekend…. a very very short and rush trip to Singapore. But thanks to Erin and Mom that allowed us to stay at their place.. Thanks to them! Cheers!

Movie Review: 2012

2012

Image Source: www.collider.com


Went to watch this under company’s event @ One-Utama GSC… I cried from the start till the end *sob sob* really very touching ma…  You can feel the love of parents, the love of the president to his people, the love of a stranger to someone he/she barely knows… so sad….


This is really a great movie of the year… really very nice… but I don’t like the ending.. kinda dragging a bit… hmm…. Missy even said it was ridiculous that got part of the people survived… so I told her: If everyone died, how could this movie be shown out? Sure got people survived one ma… it was to tell us there would be miracles… lol…


Are we all going to die in 2012? If you are going to die, and you knew about it, what would you do?


Me? I don’t want to die. But I don’t want to be the one survives. Knowing all my friends and family are dead is the last thing I want. So I would rather die with them than stay alive ALONE. :P


If I knew the day was coming, I would go to Venice. I had always wanted to go there. It is an amazing place. Peaceful and yet so historical. :)


Synopsis:


An epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.


Full details here.

My holiday post #8: Back to Perth again

Phew! Back to Perth again after my trip to Adelaide. We took midnight flight again… and we were flying with Tiger Airways again… lol…. so had to trouble Stephanie & Michelle to fetch us… and it was raining that night!!! Freaking cold >.< They even tapao/bungkus/ordered take-away KFC for us as our supper! But we were too tired.. so we went to sleep when we reached home…


Well.. Really thankful to Stephanie and Michelle… muaks… both of you are really really nice… love you girls so much. *shy*


Stephanie's house @ PerthMichelle's bed @ Perth 2

>> That is the nice house we “lodged” during our trip to Perth… and the cozy bed of Michelle that we slept on.. the bed even had heater to keep us warm.. niceeee


We slept till 7.30am… woke up so early to do what? Work.. yes.. you are right… we had to work on our holiday…  >.<


Since there were left over of KFC… we ate that as our breakfast while working + waiting for Stephanie to fetch us…


Turned out Michelle fetched us to Harbour Town cuz Stephanie was tied up with her work… Harbour Town Perth is one of the direct factory outlet in Perth. Missy and I loved this DFO so much compared to the DFO Spencer in Melbourne. Reason? They have Esprit and Nike which DFO Spencer doesn’t have… sad sad..

Harbour Town Perth 3


We had our lunch at one of the Japanese restaurant which was recommended by Michelle. The portion was quite small but tasted really nice.

Japanese Food for lunch @ Harbour Town Perth 4


I bought a bracelet for mom, a pair of Esprit Jeans @ $25 and Billabong Bag @ $15 here, while Missy bought a pair of Levi’s jeans only :P


We tried Icey Ice as per Michelle’s recommendation… it was a very unique ice-cream… more like snowy ice-cream than the creamy type… cool! We had our share of Mango Icey Ice….

Icey Ice @ Harbour Town Perth 5


Michelle fetched us home around 4.30pm and we rested awhile… Stephanie was busy with her work :)


We met up at a Japanese restaurant in town … Stephanie brought Jessie along… she even brought red wine … Hmm….yummy? :P


Japanese Food Dinner @ Perth 5

>> The Japanese food was really niceeeeee… fresh and nicely cooked… with the same price, I doubt I can find such nicely cooked Japanese food in Malaysia… ya ya… don’t count the conversion rate la :P but their wasabi was not that spicy… hehe…


After dinner Michelle fetched us to get chips to bring back to Malaysia… yes… I bought a few packets of Australia famous chips – Smith’s back to Malaysia! Good things must share with friends and family ma…I bought for my besties and family… hehe… Missy bought Red Rocks chips for herself… I didnn’t like Red Rocks’ taste :P


Back home slept straight away … very tired….


———————————————————————————–


Next day… got ready to go to Aquarium of Western Australia – AQWA. Stephanie didn’t accompany us as she had work to do… so we got to find our plans of the day…


AQWA @ Perth 6


Entrance: $26.50… I can say… super not worth it!!!!! Even Langkawi Underwater World is sooooooooo much better and had more animals than AQWA…

AQWA @ Perth 7AQWA @ Perth 8


It took us less than 2 hours to finish the “tour” in AQWA >.< really nothing to see lor… sien….


We walked to nearby Mall to have our lunch…. with the budget concept in mind… we had Kebab! Cheap + Big… really filling :P

Kebab @ AQWA Perth 10Kebab @ AQWA Perth 11


Saw a very cool things at the Mall there…. COLD ROCK ICE-CREAM! which was similiar to Cold Stone in USA!!! OMG! Miss this ice-cream soooooooooooooooooooooooo much… Couldn’t express how happy I was!


We bought 1 small size to share… cost us around $5… which was almost the same price as in USA (USD)


Cold Rock @ AQWA Perth 12Cold Rock @ AQWA Perth 13

>> The flavour of the ice-cream was Rum & Raisin (My favourite) + Strawberries.. thumbs up!


>> Bought a Billabong purse & Billabong handbag @ the mall… :) Last minute shopping…


Stephanie fetched us at 4.15pm and went home to rest a while…


Night we went to this restaurant which was famous for steak… Michelle, Stephanie & Missy ordered Steak… I couldn’t take beef… so I ordered other things… which was sooooooo big portion >.< regretted… couldn’t finish it… >.<


Last dinner @ Perth 14Last dinner @ Perth 15
