As the time flies and political as well as societal changes come into play, so does the value of the green note and its layout. More than just mere necessity and ever changing, income is often said to mirror the changes in a society. As a country that had been colonized by the Portuguese, invaded by the Japanese and former part of British Empire, Malaysia boast a wide range of banking option.

Having our very own central bank, the Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), in the motherland is considered as the mile stone of the country development, as central bank play a part as the national currency and money supply to maintain the stability of the country.

*Left: This is how BNM actually look like =)

Let's see... What did we discover from our visit?

1) BNM is "SUPER" generous where they serve us Nothing at all. No refreshment as well as souvenirs. =(

2) BNM has a lot of restricted areas, EVEN THE CANTEEN! We are actually not allowed to taste the meals that are served there. Or rather, give us the chance to feed our starving guts. But thanks God that the washrooms are not under one of the restricted areas...

3) Islamic Banking!

- "Islamic banking is not meant for Muslims only but is for all individuals regardless of their religious beliefs," says Kush, a speaker and senior officer at the BNM who enlighten the students about the wide benefits of Islamic Banking. "Over the years, numerous western countries like China has been adopting the concept of Islamic Banking. In fact, nearly 60% of the Islamic banking clients in Malaysia are actually non-Muslim.? Kush continues.

What so special about Islamic banking ...?

- Unlike conventional banking, Islamic banking have No Interest Charges! For example, instead of charging interest on financing given out, Islamic banks give financing based on musyarakah and will share any profit and loss. =)

As the globalization of world marketing continues to grow, so will the Islamic banking industry. So start learning everything you need to know about Islamic banking, for you never know that you might be the qualified Islamic banker who seeks by everyone at any place around the world in the next 4 years. As banking industry may experience a shift from conventional to Islamic banking.

Taking pictures can be a magical experience, especially when you share the experience with someone who is able to appreciate the beauty of the scenery. This was certainly the case for Kuala Lumpur Lake Garden (Taman Tasik Perdana) as they offered a charming engaging and beautiful park and garden that built around an artificial lake of undulating greenery interspersed with flowering shrubs.

Since pictures speaks louder than words, here's a teaser on the fantastic tour around KL Lake Garden, the colorful Orchid Garden and Hibiscus Garden, as well as the Magical free-flight walk in KL Bird Park that dominates very much of local and foreigner's interests.

Orchid Garden

- Located at the highest point of Lake Garden, Orchid Garden is surrounded by lush greeneries whereby it was set up as a showcase of varieties of the most beautiful orchid in the world. Approximately 50,000 species of orchid were found in the garden, and over 800 species were from Malaysia alone.

I personally love this orchid. 'Cause, to me, it look like lady in yellow dress xD

Beautiful isn't it? =)

Hibiscus Garden

- Just a stone throw away is the Hibiscus Garden, where you'll be given a chance to experience strikingly colorful panorama of countless varieties of hibiscus grown there.

I named this picture as "1 in a Million" 'cause there's only one RED hibiscus while the rest is PINK :)

Aww... It feels shy... =P

Hey! Can't you read?! It's written there " Do not pluck flower and throw rubbish ? " oppss... My bad =X

Lake Garden

- KL Lake Garden provides a big recreational area for city folks who need time off from the normal routine and the busy city.

Build around 2 lakes with many other attractions, this flourishing greeneries garden have jogging track, exercise stations, children's playground, and rowing boats; definitely a perfect spot for those who need to sweat it out and rest their mind.

Wau... A reflection, weii... How often do you have the chance to view such a reflective lake? :)

You can even rent a rowing boat here to experience the beauty of mother nature.

Seriously, if you have any idea what this is, please don't be shy to let me know... 'Cause no one from my class actually knows what this is!

Cute yet scary... They actually tried to poke my lens when I'm trying to take a close up shot 0_0

KL Bird Park
- "Entering the door of KL Bird Park is as if you are stepping into an enormous bird cage, where visitors will have a chance to witness at close proximity various bird species living together as a perfectly balance community in this semi-natural environment. Kl Bird Park is home to over 3000 birds of 200 local and foreign birds species. - unknown author, www.klbirdpark.com"

I personally like Steppe Eagle =)
Too bad that I couldn't play with it =(

Surprisingly, this handsome peacock was in his roots for showing off his tail when I pointed the camera at him. The next famous celebrity maybe?

Playboy brand new line of men's fragrances not just smell good. It taste good too =X Why do I say so? Check out the following picture...

Parrots have been licking my face all around since it landed on my shoulder. Cool huh? So what are you waiting for? Get yourself a brand new Playboy men's fragrances today =)

On the mid of October, Mid Valley Mega Mall hosted an evening of funk and fabulousness in conjunction with its 50 years of Hello Nikon. Members of the media were given a rare opportunity to experience the new AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VRII.

Nikon splashed colors on the runway when they unveiled their lastest Nikon D3 collection, the first full-frame digital SLR with everything just about speed and sensitivity.

If you're wondering how's the latest D3S model and AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm actually looks like, feel free to check out the picture beside :)

Just when the crowd cheered mercilessly as they hunger for more, Nikon's adorable models took everyone hearts away by their donning looks. Pretty, huh?

Why Nikon, you ask? As told by one of the professional photographer; Danny Ellinger - "Quick, Sharp and Accurate. Nikon's auto-focus system is like my sixth sense..." and I find the statement is pretty true :)

That's why I love my Nikon :)

Some like it SWEET

2009-10-20T20:18:00.001-07:00

Sweet, Creamy, Soothing, Irresistible. These are the words often used to describe a bowl of enticing ice shaved fruity sweet ICE KACANG; a popular dessert served in Malaysia and Singapore.

So let's say it, all together: "Milky". Malaysian , Singaporean, and Taiwanese Ice Kacang, are milky, at least to some degree. And it's really not a bad thing. After all, if you claim to enjoy Ice Kacang, you're already enamored at least a small degree of Milky.

It all started when my friend and I notice an adorable lamp hanging beside a small store while strolling around the first floor of Sunway Pyramid.

Discovering that it's actually a famous dessert store from Taiwan, we all hop in to check it out; hoping that something will catch our attention. Guess what? The display pictres looked mouth watering, thanks to the crazy weather these days.

Dessert Menu were posted on the walls too; a marvelous idea to attract customer. But some how I notice that the ice monster (the lamp), look pretty sad to me... Hmmmmm, I wonder why.

Wooo... Check out the mouth watering Jumbo Fresh Mixed Fruit Milk Ice (Rm10)! Chunks of strawberries, mangoes and kiwis slice were served along with a scoop of ice-cream as a topping as well as evaporate milk that drizzled over the mountain of ice.

Jumbo Fresh Strawberry Milk Ice + Mango Ice Cream (Rm11)

"OMG... Strawberry, Strawberry, STRAWBERRY!!! AHHHH!!!!", that's what came into my mind when I 1st looked at the menu.Don't give me that judgmental look. So what if I'm a strawberry lover?

A soft, cushiony texture and a very generous offering of strawberry that makes you crave for more, this fantastic mixture of strawberry and mango ice cream topping is definitely a winner!

Jumbo Fresh Mango Milk Ice (Rm10)

Well, it's similar to the jumbo strawberry milk ice, just that it's mango flavoured 0_0 But I find it EXPENSIVE SIAL, just for an normal bowl of ice, mango and other ingredients for Rm10? Look tempting, huh? But still... Snowflake in SS15 have better Ice Kacang and they taste so much better... Shhh... =P

Lover are found gathered here, trying out various type of flavors. Guess who I found while I'm exploring the place? OMG right?

Undergraduates, fashion designers, apprentices and shopaholic were among the participants who took their time off to whet their appetite by window-shopping at Enspired Bazaar, Subang Square SS15.

Enspired Bazaar played host to a shopping experience near Taylor's ADP building, who inaugurated the bazaar with the purpose for blog shop being able sell their item offline.

Setting the booth t the very front of the entrance, Timothy has fully monopolized the whole bazaar with all the elegant and perfectly beautiful ornament, or did he?

One of Tim's most eye catching productions would be the Eye of Drakonus, but believe it or not, the Eye of Drakonus was actually made by cardboard! And to think many people stood in awe looking at it in the bazaar.

A glow in dark IronMan! Cool!!!

Tim's productions were so good that... Whatever~ Okay, let us just kick Tim's butt aside for now for there's something rather more interesting than all the ornament.

What actually pulls my attention to it was this booth that sold all the

CREEPY CRAWLIES!

Tarantula

The most popular and least understood spiders in the whole world, Tarantula! Tarantula was known as the world's largest spider. It can grow up to one foot in length. And BELIEVE it or NOT, they even feed on BIRDS!

Funnel Web Spider

Commonly called as the grass spiders, funnel web spider has an unique web design that function as their primary hunting tool. But what is more shocking is that...

Watch the video below:

Emperor Scorpion

OMG... Scorpion!!! But have no fear for this is just a forest scorpion :) "The bigger the pincers the lesser the poison from the stinger" That's why the owner is playing with it 0_0

So what's the different compare to a dessert scorpion, you ask? Check out the video below :)

Sugar Gliders

I believe girls will go crazy for this cute little thing. The Sugar Glider is arounf 15 to 20cm in length, with a tail longer than the body and almost as thick as a human thumb. The most distinctive features of its anatomy are the twin skin membranes called patagia which extend from the fifth finger of the forelimb back to the first toe of the hind foot. Simple way of saying it, IT CAN FLY!

Crotch-Grabbing Moonwalker

2009-10-13T01:39:00.000-07:00

His music reached billions

His dreams inspired the world

But there was still one dream

He wanted to share with everyone...

The date June 25, 2009 would forever be engraved in many people's mind as the day the backward-gliding moonwalk legend, Micheal Jackson reached for his last gasp of air. As word of his death spread, MTV switched its programming to play video from Jackson's heyday. Radio stations began playing marathons of his hits. Hundreds of people gathered in public place in sudden, performing an unusual action for a brief time as a tribute for MJ.

Micheal Joseph Jackson,the seventh child of the Jackson family was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana. From his debut on the professional scene in 1968; to being a member of the Jackson 5; to being ranked alongside Elvis Presley and the Beatles, MJ has been the biggest pop sensations of all the time.

The peak may have come in 1983, where MJ moonwalked off with the show during Motown's 25th celebration with an all-star televised concert. The audience stood and roared as MJ ran through "Billie Jean" with pointing, crouching, high-kicking, splay-footed, crotch-grabbing performance.

The King of Pop put in so much passion preparing for a series of 50 concerts starting July 13 at London's famed 02 arena. But sadly, MJ's dream didn't come true...

Yet, people who work with MJ don't want his effort to be put into a waste by making a documentary movie of MJ's preparation for the comeback tour.
In the theaters worldwide October 28th for 2 weeks, witness the never before seen rehearsal footage.
The legend, the music and the event of the lifetime, Micheal Jackson: This Is It!

This is the Trailer for the movie

"It's all for love. L-O-V-E - Micheal Jackson"

Peek-A-BOO @ Rexona's Golden Melody, Rachel Voon

2009-10-03T09:57:00.000-07:00

"Whatever you are doing, just keep doing it and believe that dreams do come true!"

The diminutive Rachel Voon is traversing unchartered territory; from her discovery during high-school competition; to being discovered during SEGI's prom night; to sharing singing in Rexona Teens K-Queen.

In person, Rachel is absolutely teeny. So wee and petite that you could just fold her up and slip her into your pocket. (Maybe not so teeny weeny xD)

Despite the appearances, Rachel has a touch of inviolability to her; a sardonic manner of speaking indicative of her possessiveness about her privacy and sense of space. Explore too deep, and she retreats into an evasive shell of non-disclosure. But maybe the guardedness is reminiscent of the very manner in which she was discovered.

Here, she talks about her experience and life, before and during the performance on Rexona Teens K-Queen as well as the Happiness of being a grand prize winner.

*R stands for Rachel

How does it feel being the grand prize winner for Rexona Teens K-Queen?
R -It feels great! It is even more than having a dream come true, because I never dream that I could win a prize that big just by singing for 2 minutes. It is the beginning of an exciting journey, because not just that I'll be going on air at 8TV Quickie (16 October), Remaja, published on Redbox Magazine or more, I'll be going to U.S.! What more can I ask for? I would love to bring all my family and frieds to the States to show them how much I appreciate them. If I have the means, no doubt I'll do that! I just want to thank God again for blessing me with this huge prize! Oh yea, the other winner did a great job too! www.rexona.com.my

What was your inspiration for the video?
R- Hmm, I fell that the song, Reflection by Christina Aguilera, has been the winning song for me. 'Cause, well, I always win when I sing this song (laughing out loud). But seriously, I always choose this song for competition and I think it's really suitable for my range :)

So, do you ever push it (singing)?
R- Not really. I used to sing along with my mom during kindergarten. You see, during kindergarten, I was able to memorize the songs that teachers taught during that day. I didn't actually realize it until my mother told me about it. During secondary, I was asked to sing along with my friend in one of the singing competition, which is my first one and we won. It really bring back sweet memories when think of it. :)

Was there ever a time when you felt like it was time to stop?
R - Hmmm... I took vocal lesson for around 2 years, and I love it. When my mom asked me to stop singing, I kinda felt disappointed at first but I still hang on to it and kept dreaming of singing. Like what I always say to myself and everyone, whatever you're doing, just keep doing and believe that dreams do come true.

Have you ever considered calling it a day off?
R - No, not at all. 'Cause singing has always been my passion.

Can you share with us the process of how you joined the competition and finally won it?
R - Well, I saw the advertisement online, so I went to do a bit of research of where the Kara-Kara Truck will be. Of course, it was my passion to sing, which pushed me to go that far. I realize that the truck will be moving around Klang Valley and will be at IOI mall, Puchong on August14. They even had the song list to choose from, so I chose to sing Beauty and the Beast. On the day, I went to IOI Mall and saw the truck. I went in and bought 2 of the latest Rexona Deodorants. Just when I wanted to sing Beauty and the Beast, the Rexona team said that they don't have the music there. So, I chose my all time favorite song to sing - Reflection by Christina Aguilera. I had another chance to sing too. I sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow. The hopped off the truck and the first person I met said this to me, "You should try for One in a Million, you're really good!" I felt so confident after that. After the Rexona team posted my video, I started asking all my friends to vote for me. Towards the closing date, I only had 800 over votes while there were people who got more than 10,000 votes. I felt faint-hearted to see the extremely large number of votes that the other videos had obtained, though honestly, I think they didn't sing that well. Haha... The result was announced on September 14. When I saw my name as the grand prize winner, I was shocked and in awe! I couldn't hold my breath and I quickly called my mom to see it on the website. She was so on top of the world that she hugged me so tightly!

How did the singing come into being?
R - I always sing in church, almost weekly, and I think I learn a lot from there. By singing so often in church, I'm given the opportunity to improve.

Do you have other aspiration beyond music?
R - I used to run a lot, and I mean A LOT! I was in the athletic team during high school; I took part in many competitions like MSSKL, MSSN and so on. Haha.... Though now I seldom exercise xD

Are you a blogger? Do you enjoy that sort of direct and instant access to your fans?
R - Currently I'm not a blogger. I used to blog back then but I find it pretty hard to blog about everyday life. Fans? Hmmm... I do enjoy direct access to my fans but... But actually, I don't know how to get to my fans (laughing).... But I have a lot of friends?

What did you learn from this production?
R - I learn that success doesn't come to your door step. You have to pursue it and do whatever it takes to win it.

What special thing have you done to make sure everything went smoothly as possible?
R - I did as much as I could by asking all my friend who are within my contact to vote for me. I prayed really hard and hope that I win!

To be honest, which competition played up the most?
R - It depends not just on the prize but also how much I feel after the competition. After the Rexona K-Queen competition, I felt really satisfied. I would say that winning this competition has brought me to another level I have not been before.

Were you nervous at all?
R - I was nervous before but when I went up to the truck... I realize that it's time for me to sing, so I tried to focus, and guess what, it did pay off in the end :)

What was your most embarrassing moment on your singing experience?
R- (Laughing) When I practice for one of the sessions in church, I went off key with the microphone and many people were there.

What kept you inspired?

R - In the end of the day, it is about achieving my dreams, it is not just about fame and success but also being able to make a different and to make an impact to this world. :)

In Deal: People will start screaming if they found out that you doesn't have a Facebook account.

13. Myspace.com
- The Original Social Networking Website
: Before Facebook, there was MySpace. Musicians, actors and creative people use MySpace as a tool to promote their work. Although its popularity has been take over by facebook, MySpace is still widely popular in US.

The Deal: We're just sometimes a little annoyed with Facebook.

14. Chocolate
- Universal Ingredient
: From cookies, cake, ice cream, pudding, pie and candy to chewing gum, condom, cigarettes and liquors, there;s no running away from the universal choice of flavor. Chocolate has survived through time and willl continue to live through every festive occasion.

The Deal: It contains phenylephylamine hoemone, the same hormone the brain triggers when you fall in love. Now you know why we reach for that bar everytime.

15. Boyleg
- Best Buys
: Thanks you for rescuing the ladies from the G-string phenomenon. As a matter of fact, Boylegs are the new sexy while skimpy G-strings just look like butt floss. These boyleg cut recreate the '50s feel - think Bridget Bardot in polka dots.

The Deal: Something finally came between us and our Calvins

16. Blackberry Bold
- Formidable Fruit
: There's no more excuse of having no time to check the e-mail because Blackberry has made us all slaves to technology. The birth of Bold introduces the functionality in a new-age design - now there's something to flaunt at work.

The Deal: Fortune favors the Bold

17. Sushi Buffet
- Finger Food Galore
: Sushi by research and review is a healthier choice. A sushi buffet offers abundant without breaking the bank and thus compensates the Malaysian guilt for food: more to choose, it's healthier, it's cheaper and everyone loves it.

The Deal: It avoids the common Malaysian quandary of how to split the bill. Fair game for all.

18. Lamborghini Murcielago LP710
- When Money Means Nothing
: The 2009 edition of E-gear has a new, more aggressive "Corsa" program and a "Trust Mode" - otherwise known as Launch Control. In Trust Mode, the computer takes over, optimizing the power so that even your grandmother could achieve 99.78 km/h in a blink of 3.7seconds.

The Deal: It is three seconds faster than last year's version.

19. YouTube
- The Online Video Store
: Except you don't really have to buy any video. Yet it gives you some of the funniest and weirdest video clips from around the world. YouTube brings the world to your finger tips.

The Deal: We were YouTube-ing whenever we were stressed out by or stuck with this list xD

20. Second Life (SL)
- Everyone's Second Vice
: Not everyone's lucky and get their second chance. But with Second Life, life's anew in digital electronics and on the Internet. This online virtual world welcomes everyone - to create a life about just anything, Heck, even Reuters has a HQ there. You fly, you design, you live your own lifestyle without restriction and most important you can make real money. How about that? SL resident Anshe Chung became the 1st millionaire - and that's millionaire in real US dollars.

The Deal: It's free, easy, and lawless and is the only place to commit adultery, have affairs, rob banks, commit suicide and a host of other vices - all without consequences and regrets.

21. Genting Highland
-The Peak Of Life
: Our own Vegas minus the extreme weather and burlesque shows. Going up the highlands is a Cirque du Soleil act on its own - through the sloping winding roads. One fatal mistake and you're off flying like an acrobat across the sky. Before the cafe culture hits Malaysia, Genting was more of a family place but now young people drive up to Wonderland just for a cuppa in the cold crisp weather. And occasionally for the show.

The Deal: The age-old method of bring your family out without guilt: you at the casino while your wife, your 60-year old mother, six kid and the maid lose themselves in the theme parks.

22. Melaka and George Town
- Historical Cities
: We are definitely proud of the UNESCO World Heritage Site awarded to Melaka and George Town. Both cities are rich in culture ad history - Melaka where it all started and George Town for still being the true blue place where original Malayans can be found. If not above criteria, how about just abundant of good foods, crafts and places for holidays?

The Deal: Cheap getaways for all who want to be seen as frequent travelers with passion for history, culture and good food in mind.

23. The RM19 Burger
- Worthy or Not?
: More expensive than a burger from Carl's Junior, this road side stall in Seremban 2 sells a burger at Rm19 and has been doing so for some time. The special burger weighs 250g of beef and is served with 3 layers of cheese between an ordinary bun.

The Deal: Worthy if you live in Seremban or happen to stop by.

24. Emoticons
- Yellow-Faced Smileys
: These animated icons are the best answer to any question. Stumped with a trick question? You :-D ; Tired of someone's excuse? You 8-) ; Sleepy? You |-) , EASY~ It is total dyslexic - friendly and you can't go wrong with it.

The Deal: Trust Your Feelings.

25. Datuk Michelle Yeoh
- The Only Malaysian Who Made It Big In Hollywood.
: We wish we have more of them but Ipoh-mali Michelle Yeoh is the best that we have so far. With 3 Hollywood movies out last year alone, Yeoh is set to live it up in Tinseltown and has absolutely come a long way from her beauty queen days or the ever youthful Yim Wing Chun in Wing Chun.

The Deal: Find us another Malaysian woman who has kissed James Bond.

26. The Ultimate LEGO Star Wars Diorama
- The Big Bang Collection
: A star Wars LEGO diorama of staggering complexity, constructed with obsessive compulsive precision. Basically its a Rebel attack on an Imperial base and mining installation.

The Deal: This is the exact same sort of Star Wars scene I imagined constructing when breaking out the old cardboard box of LEGOs from the floor closet as a boy. Unfortunately, by the time I'd completed one plastic rainbow AT-AT's leg, I'd usually run out of the base material.

27. English Premier League
-Eat Football, Drink Football, Live Football
: When politics (and the economy) fail to motivate us or make sense, we turn to sports to break away from the harsh reality. Whichever team you support, football never fails to entertain us -especially when Beckham takes off his jersey at the end.

The Deal: Football is the only sports that brings the world together. Why do you think they call it World Cup?

28. Reality TV
- Modern Day Fairy Tales
: Ok, nothing is ever real. The idea of reality TV is merely a fantasy for those hungry for fairy tales. Can you not learn from the 1st season of The Bachelor? On-screen, they found love. Off-screen they found money and divorce. Kelly Clarkson's the only surviving artist out there. And, Paris Hilton can;t be simply stupid.

The Deal: then again, any dumb blond reality TV show is still better than bad TV. At least the 'real' people in the show are more talented than the B-grade actors in cheesy movies.

29. Gossip Girl
- You Know You Love It
:You would be surprised to find that not only teenagers find themselves glued to the TV but their parents too - both can't help but be fascinated by the lives and luxuries of the high school kids on Upper East Side. We guess it's always fun to watch beautiful people falling out of grace, huh? Or is it because we want what we can't have?

The Deal: "when I find myself in time of trouble, Gossip Girl come to me, speaking words of wisdom: ' You know you love me, XOXO Gossip Girl."'

30. Nadal vs Federer
- Sporting Rivalry Of Epic Proportion
: Born to defeat each other, the Nadal-Federer rivalry in the tennis court writes volumes like a Tolstoy epic. In the Open era, both players held records for consecutive wins on a single surface with Roger Federer on grass and hard courts while Rafael Nadal on clay - only to beat each other in the categories. Having enjoying his world's number 1 ranking since 2005, federer was denied his spot when Nadal caught up and claimed the throne in August 2008.

The Deal: It's tennis with story line.

31. Instant Noodles
- Recession-Proof Food
: No, it's not those snobbish food critics or A-list starlets who set the food trends. It is economy that sets the trends. Trust is during hard times, instant noodles sell better than hot cakes. They are filling, tasty, cheap and more importantly, quick - giving us more time to earn extra incomes. There are the gourmets ones too for the discerning customers.

The Deal: It takes only 2 minutes for a piping hot meal. Slurp!

32. Datuk Nicol David
- Duracell Bunny
: Still the World's No 1 in women's squash, Nicol Ann David has made Malaysians proud over and over with her winnings. This child prodigy was also a straight A's student and a UN goodwill ambassador. Her young-age and early success is only the beginning.

The Deal: Her winnings are no longer a surprise anymore. Unless...

32. Panda
- Black and White Never Looked So Cute
: No animals will be more missed than pandas should they go extinct. Altogether, research claims that there are only about 2000-3000 living pandas in the world. The endangered species is having difficulty adapting to the change of climate and it sure doesn't help that they are also dangerously low in libido.

The Deal: Probably the only mammal who is lazy for sex.

34. Twilight
- Dawn Of The New Dracula
: It made us reconsider vampires because we want to be cool and fall in love with someone who says "You're my life now." Plus, with that kind of velocity, we will be faster than any Ben Johnsons.

The Deal: It's the only way we can glow like diamonds in the sun!

35. Barack Obama
- Yes! He Can!
: Change has come to America and hopefully, beyond. The world embraces this former senator from Chicago - so warmly loved that hundred of thousands of people thronged Capitol Hill on his inauguration day. Aretha Franklin wore a Dorothy splat on her head to show her support, so as Beyonce and Jay-Z out there standing in the cold.

The Deal: He's black, he's not entirely good looking and has been called arrogant too many times. But hey, unless you have Beyonce singing for you and Mariah Carey fighting to sit next to you... Don't judge.

36. Straws
- Who Sucks At It?
: From drinking, stirring and shooting to becoming a wedge or used in origami, drinking straws are probably the 20th century's more innovative creation after the screwdriver. Its designs have spanned genres and shapes, colors and styles - and part of our modern culture.

The Deal: Drinking from a straw apparently reduces tooth decay - but mostly we love using it as a weapon to shoot lime seeds at mamak stalls.

37. Nasi Lemak
- National Dish
: Our favorite Malaysian fast foods needs no introduction. The combination of coconut fragrant rice mixed with sambal, deep-fried anchovies, peanuts and hard-boiled eggs - there is nothing like it. Step aside lekor, char kuey teow, nasi padang, soto ayam and roti canai because no food is truer (or taste of) multi-racial Malaysians more than saliva-inducing, lip-smacking nasi lemak panas.

The Dual: Those triangle packets are at Rm1 without tax and comes with drive-thrus now - notice the makciks sitting patiently at the road side every morning when you drive to work?

38. Formula One Racing
- Broom!
: Nothing is more mind-blowing than listening to the Roar of the Machine and watching each formula1 car over take another. But what is more exciting is to watch a F1 car lost control on the track and crashed! And start wonder whether the driver is still alive or not.

The Deal: The Race Queen who cheer, didn't really cheer after all? So scandalous!

39. GSC Gold Class
-First-Class Treats
: Reclining seats, blankets, pillows and first class hospitality at the movies are some of the affordable luxuries in life. Picture yourself watching Australia and sink into the comfort of theater with your love one - she cries, you snore. Nobody will blame you if you pass out. You pay good money for it.

The Deal: There's practically no queue at the ticketing counters and no screaming children in the auditorium - unless you're watching Madagascar.

40. Google
- Verb Of The Century
: In the 90s, we xerox documents. In the new millennium, we are "google-ing" everything. Both giants have strongly protested the use of their trademark names for fear tht they will become another common word. Well it has happened - entries have been made into dictionaries with all letters in lowercase as verb.

The Deal: Want to know more? Google it.

41. Madonna
- Divine Intervention
: Sweet and stick, Madonna has crossed platforms, genres and generations with her talents and lots of smart publicity moves. No longer Mrs. Ritchie, the Material girl goes solo and has a new toy boy, Brazilian model Jesus Luz, in town. Who could blame her for blaming it on Rio?

The Deal: Jesus, Madonna and Kaballah - Oh, Jesus!

42. Evian's Limited Edition Bottles
- Pret-a-Porter Water
: The question is to drink or not to drink. Evian;s limited edition bottle are designed by fashion gurus like Jean Paul Gaultier and Christian Lacroix. The bottles look great themselves placed around the house under the pretence of your ultimate joie de vivre.

The Deal: The only overpriced bottles of water we will buy.

43. Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite
-It Bag For Men
: Graphite is the new It bag for men. LV has done an outstanding job with the design and color. Plain old black is a popular choice - at least for the straight one. The whole collection encompasses metro-sexual wants: luggage, briefcases, wallets, card holders, ties, belts, scarves and a helmet with casing

The Deal: Now men too can join the It bag club.

44. Teenage Takeover
-Taylor Swift, Kirsten Stewart, Emma Roberts, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Dev Patel... and so on.
: These new generation teenage stars fill every tabloid and musical charts of late. Now we love Britney and Christina back then but these new kids on the block come with healthier outlook and not on the verge of outwitting each other in the industry. Or will they? Stay Tuned.

The Deal: The young ones rules!

45. ASIMO
- Honda's Humanoid
: At 3'11" tall, weighing 54 kilogram, ASIMO is a mechanical dwarf disguising as an astronaut wearing a backpack. ASIMO can walk or run up to 6 km/h. The name is an acronym for 'Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility.' Since 2007, 46 units have been built and each costs less than USD 1 million to make.

The Deal: ASIMO can be hired out for a little over Rm60,000 per year - although if you hire one, we will be wondering if you're the one with the artificial intelligence.

46. The Beckhams
- Marriage Never Looked So Sexy
: Once upon a time, singer Posh met with footballer David and they both fell in love. They got married and move into the 'Beckingham Palace' in Hertfordshire, London. Now they are commonly known as The Beckhams. She is fashionable housewife and mother of three but still has a tiny waist. Once the captain of England, he is now the Captain of many different brands.

The Deal: They are both worth 112 million pounds combined.

47. AirAsia
-Plane Cheap
: Now that everyone can fly, we have become a jet-setting bunch. Yes, we don't need the extras on board, since we're going to pass out all the way to Bali or Macau anyway. All the waiting, queuing and rushing to a good seat exhaust us.

The Deal: On 15July2007, 50 disabled persons gathered at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) at KLIA to protest against the discriminatory policy imposed by AirAsia to refuse carriage for people who cannot walk. Not everyone can fly after all.

48. DOME
-Hot Kitchen
: One of Malaysia's best-loved restuarant-chains, DOME still has the allure to lure customers this recession. Come lunch time, the branch in KLCC is chock-a-block with hungry customers waiting to be fed the finest gourmet foods and coffee.

The Deal: Its mushroom pie is still the one of the hottest selling item from the menu.

49. Christian Bale's Bale-ing
- Verbal Diarrhoea
: Our Batman turned into the Hulk when he was interrupted by a member of the crew during a scene in Terminator Salvation. Bale lost his cool and verbally abused the guys and then threatened to quit if the poor guy is not fired. The outburst was leaked recently and was an overnight Internet sensation.

The Deal: It takes raw talent to use "F" word more then 35 times in less than 5 minute.

50. British Invasion
- Hugh Grant, Sting and Sam Mendes
: Actor, musician and director respectively, these British talents shine like their American counterparts. Though not traditionally known for their drop-dead good looking, their British charm, wit, subtlety and of course the accent, make every girl drool ad swoon.

In Deal: We like the English lot because they are the underdogs to Hollywood's overrated celebs.

Melacca In Pixels

2009-09-26T02:07:00.002-07:00

I found myself in the city that gave the world Chicken Rice in Round, Sleepless in Jonker Walk, Mystical Gunung Ledang (Mt. Ophir)and was the inspirations for Cheers which many would have forgotten thanks to the dominance of Puteri Gunung Ledang in the hit film during 2004.

But as I try to soak in the life I found that the city has more to offer than the Taming Sari Tower and the legend of a whimsical romantic tale. It is a charmingly engaging and beautiful city. And since pictures speak louder than words, here's a teaser on the colorful historical and interesting place that dominates very much of Malacca's life.

A Beca Ride (trishaw) in Melacca

It makes a very memorable and interesting tour ride around the narrow streets of Melacca specially around the old sector of Melacca. The unique Beca ride is an eco-friendly mode of transport where 2medium built person are ferried by the trishaw operator, it's a 'must experience' ride for visitors to the historical city of Melacca.

Holy On Top St. Paul's Hill

St. Paul's Church is located on top of St. Paul's Hill; once the prayer house of the Portuguese Catholics, then turned into burial ground for their noble dead by the Dutch. St. Francis Xavier [according to the tour guy, St. Francis Xavier is born without his right hand] was buried here in 1553 before his body move to India.

Lovely isn't it? I feel so HOLY suddenly 0_0

The tombstones have Latin and Portuguese inscription on them, making it one of it's kind in St. Paul's Church. A 'must visit' place when you're in Melacca.

River Cruise On Melacca River

The river was the main artery of the trade for Melacca in its heyday when it was bustling with traders from all around the world. Some buildings from that era still majestically by the river, which is also lined by old villages and modern day buildings.

The 45-minute cruise is accompanied by an entertaining and informative commentary.

And for just rm10, you will be surprised by what you will see and smell along this unique river.

House In Red

The Stadthuys (1650) was the official residence of the Dutch Governer. Stadthuys seem to be popular in Melacca, most foreigner are found taking picture and exploring around Stadthuys (Maybe because they love red?)

The Stadthuys has turned into the Historical Museum and Ethnography Museum which has many traditional bridal costumes and relics on display. (Is that Jack Sparol? *the 1st statue)

A View Of Melacca

This is a view taken from St. Paul's Hill. But you should head downtown and goes up the Taming Sari Tower during the night.

Portugese Ship Landed At Melacca

Apart from showing the significant history of Melacca Maritime, Maritime Museum also showcases the different eras that Malacca has gone through, from the Melacca Sultanate era, to Portuguese era, Dutch era to British era. With different flags, statues and illustrations representing each era, you will relize that history is no longer series of boring lessons.

The Last Stand

After the Portuguese captured Melacca, they built a fortress to defend themselves. The fortress is called A'Famosa, which suffered from severe destruction during Dutch invasion.

What is left over today is just the entrance walls, but still well preserved till today :)

Night At Jonker's Street

Once the richman's street is now a living proof of Malacca's rich baba-nyonya heritage. The buildings are immaculately constructed with elaborate carving on its pillars and walls.

An Amazing performance by an unknown person at the end of the street, he really caught the crowd's attention.

Taiwan Fruit Candy Stick, you should grab one of this yourselves... It's Sweet and a little bit sour, LOVE the taste of it =)

MAM Jonker 88, A 'Must Visit' when you're looking for foods around Jonker Streets. Sound familiar? MAM Jonker 88 was visited by the 'Ho Jia' for their delicious inherited home-cooked recipe: Baba Laksa and Nyonya Asam Laksa as well as the original chendol.

This is the Baba Chendol, the 1st spoon and you'll thinking ice-cold, and the ingredients was so well-matched and smooth that slides all the way down to your throats leaving a refreshing trail in its path... Yummy...

Ahhh.. Think this is just an ordinary Laksa? Think again. This is the legendary Baba's Laksa which were made according to the inherited home-cooked recipe, seriously a Wau!

Hari Raya Celebration at Mid Valley Megamall

2009-09-17T07:02:00.000-07:00

"Selamat Aidil-fitri,
Kepada saudara serta saudari,
Setahun hanya sekali,
Merayakan hari yang mulia ini..."

Come on... Everyone know that Aidilfitri is just around the corner. Soon, thousands of city dwellers would join the "Balik Kampung" rush to celebrate this occasion in their respective hometowns.

Mid Valley Mega-mall have once again gone out of their way to welcome shoppers for the Hari Raya celebrations with the theme "The Rah Rah is Back in Hari Raya".
With the kampung scenes of the 50s around the large mall, shoppers can't seem to not be attracted to the scenic view, regardless of their age and race.

Get the Kid! while she's still a FREE Festive Gift and Raya Packet. xD

The houses and stalls are all drawn in caricature-style which make the whole environment look like a scene from comics, truly creative.

The journey begins at the South Court concourse level, where the train station lies sandwiched between an old newspaper stand and coffee shop. There is also a vintage car parked at the train station.

Coco. Nut? But I don't see any 0_0

As we journey to the Center Court,we see many shoppers gathered here to take pictures of the kampung houses which placed to resemble a courtyard.

Not to mention the chickens and ducks (not the human one), coconut trees and wooden fences make the place almost come alive.

Finally, a bazaar at the North Court concourse area is where one can find Raya goodies, hehe. The North Court hosts stalls sells clothes, cookies, home decor and ICE-CREAM! counters. (Who don't like ice-cream, right xD)

Welcome Welcome! Welcome to my house. xD

I believe the kid is lost... 0_0

Magnificent Crab Island (Pulau Ketam)

2009-09-15T04:29:00.000-07:00

The Bachelor of Science Student of SEGI University College (ADP) had the chance to take part in one of the attention-grabbing fieldwork - an expedition to the Crab Island. The purpose? To have a closer view of the tradition, culture and the lifestyle in Crab Island.

Public transportation is the least of your worries in Crab Island. While the KTM Komuter will give you a perfect view of Klang Valley from KL Sentral to Pelabuhan Klang, and also the Ketam's High Speed Ferry that took only half an hour ride away from the hustle and bustle Port Klang.

When you arrive in Pulau Ketam Village, the first thing you gonna see is "The Only Public Toilet". And yeah, you guessed it right, it flushes directly into the sea! Eww... No wonder no one is swimming... LOL!

Let's move on to something that is not so polluted, lol. Bomba Sukarelawan Pulau Ketam and the Police Station are basically the local attractions as there aren't many landmarks in Pulau Ketam.

Bomba Sukarelawan Pulau Ketam was formed in 1972, located not far from the police station. It was a need by residents of Pulau Ketam because a few fire incidents happened back in the 60s and 70s. If you look closer to the picture, you will notice that Francis is going to headbutt Eddie!

An elderly couple sells fried ice cream right in front of a clinic. Being the only fried ice cream stall in Pulau Ketam they get to monopoly the business, hehe.

As you might have guessed, most people in Pulau Ketam work as fishermen and sell seafood products. Almost each house has boat parked in front.

Pulau Ketam is indeed a seafood gourmet's paradise! Don't forget to go for its fresh crabs, prawns and fish (especially the fish balls, 2 thumbs up). If you got the chance to visit Crab Island, it's a must to stop by Kim Hoe Restaurant to try out their famous dishes.

Fried Butter Shrimp

Deep Fried Squid

Salted Egg Crab

Kum Hiung Crab (Spicy curry leaf)

OMG! is simply just the word to describe the fish balls. The fish balls is so lively that you'll actually feel that it's dancing in your mouth each time you chew it. FUYOH! (We can tell that Eddie is really enjoying his lunch)

To Kim Hoe Restaurant! CHEER! From the right: Vivian (blogger), Amy (blogger), Eddie (blogger), Nick (Stalker), Su ling, and Mr. Unknown...

A Jeth Night With Slyvester & Dudes Reunion

2009-09-11T05:47:00.001-07:00

Members of the Hex's group were in for a fun night out on 10Sept at Jeth as one of our friend, Sylvester - a smiley Methodist A.C.S Pussycat, decided to fly himself to U.K. on 18Sept.

THE STARS OF TODAY'S SHOW... featuring:

The Smiley A.C.S Pussycat - Sylvester (left)

Taking place from 8.30pm to 11pm, the dudes were taking pleasure in an hourly chit-chating, sharing their after high school life.

Yang Choo was basically toying with his DSLR while Hex was messing around with William's Cellphone. *notice the wicked smile??

Oh yea, how can I forget about Kenneth the girl slayer. Ken, a hot and cool muscular guy who just love nothing but his guitar and hot girl. So, watch out girls!

William, a shy yet friendly guy who stay nearby my area, but couldn't get to meet him for quite a while... (For William is currently studying at Nilai)

Well, it was basically the first time meeting up Sylvester for a drinks and it's worth spending time with him.
Sylvester really seems like a little guy in the middle of Andrew and Yang Choo, don't you guys think so?

Group Picture credits to one of the waiters ... =)

SEGI is not letting this golden opportunity to slip away just like that. What we did was we gather Fayette House members plus some students to sing the song "This Is My Country". This song lyric has all racial language: Chinese, Malay and Tamil. To tell you the truth, its actually quite nice.

Since my white lamborghivi (MYvi) still hasn't been repaired yet. Practically having my ass stuck on the warm and comfort sofa all day. How Sweet huh?

LET'S Face It.

I'm F#@king lazy to post up any photos and info lately (Come on, I can't even attend events due to transportation). So, I've decided to share some amazing videos that were intro by Jin and Eddie.

Ok =) let me intro you guys to Kurt Hugo Schneider.
When I've just come across the below YouTube video and I must say that I really really rate it! The amount of work that has gone into it is incredible in my opinion.
A great arrangement by Kurt Hugo Schneider, lovely vocal and a certain charm to Sam Tsui's performance definitely helps to make this a winner!

Have a watch yourself, and see what you think :)

For more of Schneider's remarkable song arrangements and an addictive mini-series called 'College Musical', a visit to his YouTube channel is definitely recommended.

College Musical - episode 1 (If you're wondering how is it like)

I really like the 'Battlefield' and 'You And I Both'

Justin Bieber, a cute 15 year old Canadian that got discovered from YouTube, and is currently under a deal with Usher in producing an album. Most of you might not have heard of him before, but he's getting pretty famous by the second now =)
(Amazing Talents, (August 21,2009), Retrieved September 07, 2009, from http://silverotter90.blogspot.com/)

Check out the song, One Time, that is already out in radio.

Justin Bieber - Where Are You Now

Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco a.k.a Charice, one of my favorite young talented singer in YouTube.

Charice - Listen (Performing in Oscar Event)

Wild Night Out

2009-08-23T01:32:00.000-07:00

We all know that College and Uni life has been a little bit dull lately.
But perk up those ears, guys, because Nick is about to reveal some ROCKIN' information. FGA KL's BBQ-night 2009: the chicken, the beef and the sacrificial lamb, a free 4 and a half hour burning up a storm is being held in FGA KL car park on 22 August from 5.30pm until 10pm.

The happening event feature the most illustrious FGA's worship rock band that promises to be a music extravaganza of unheralded proportions! Over 200 guests were blasted during the night open with energetic play of christian worship songs. Party-goes were entertained, as they sang and jump along.

Just when the crowd cheered mercilessly hungering for more, Pastor Jeremy took in the wheel of steel, sharing a little information of Jesus BBQ-ing at the Beach. Well, pastor Jeremy really did a great job as he's able to bring out the message that God wants his children to know.

Everyone put on their game face just when the MC announce the began of the party. Mascot were cheering loudly for each of their team as each team were competing against each other for the best BBQ dish decoration and taste.

"Ok, Winson, I think if we set the charcoal this way then it will definitely burn faster."

"Hey, relax la~ We still got an hour wei~"

"Err, I think we over burn it?"

"Who? Who is the perform following by the function of what, and what I am is a man in the mask. - V for Vendetta"

"We are the best!"

"I'm Winson the SEXY Lamb, want a piece of me?"

"I'm just a farmer with a mission."

"You want me to sing a song for you?"

OMG, ratatouille!

Wau, now that's what I call a hot mascot xD

Different types of BBQ style are used during the competition, the cookers really paid a full attention in controlling the fire and foods.

Wau, just look at all the foods really make my tummy calling for me~

The winner walks away with the coupons from Chili's that worth RM300. They really deserve it as the taste of the foods and the decoration is simply out of our mind.

OMG~ Mushmellow~!!! Ahhh~ Feed me, FEED ME~

It was a yummy-licious night where the party-goers are looking forward to many more events by FGA KL church.

Shaz comments: It's nice. It's the kind of show that will leave you hanging at the end of each episode. Makes you want to watch more!!!

Nick comments: Wow! For the first time, I had my mouth opened so wide while watching the show. Although I have only watched two episodes but the show really caught my attention. The fangs, synthetic blood and the shape shifters in this show is something fresh compared to all the monster movies that I've watched. Seriously it's a waste for not watching it. I'm looking forward to watch season one to have a more detailed understanding about the series...

From Zero To Hero

2009-08-05T22:40:00.000-07:00

Okay, let us get things straight before I write about Shisha... Many readers now thinks that my blog has now turned into a hungry food traveler's blog, but who say so? It's still the crazy and wild blog you always been reading. It's just that I have no time to attend events during my short semester. But now, Nick is BACK IN ACTION!!!

A couple of days ago, I went for SHISHA for the first time with my sister and a few of my friends. So what is SHISHA, you asked?

No No No... Come on, that can't be Shisha. It's just a picture of (from the right to left) me, Shasha, Nikolas and Daren playing pool in Asia Cafe.

For those of you who are not familiar with Shisha, Shisha is a tobacco mixed with molasses and fruit flavors and is smoked in a hookah (a stand-up device used to smole flavored tobacco). But Shisha tobacco is not the typical tobacco that you find in the cigarettes (It does not contain large amounts of nicotine and other addictives that make it extremely harmful). And what is best about Shisha is that, it's smoked for flavor and not for any kind of effect.

This is how Hookah actually looks like.

Shisha proves a relaxing and peaceful pursuit. It is very light and flavorful with a wonderful fruity aroma. The most popular flavor is apple, others include strawbery, pineapple, apricot, grape, rose, mint, and even cappuccino. A Shisha smoking session can last from thirty minutes up to hours and the amount usually charged between RM10 to RM15.

While many may argue that Shisha smoking is not harmful, medical expects say otherwise. Reuters reported last week that the World Health Organisation (WHO) had announced that a single session of smoking Shisha yields a nicotine intake equivalent to more than one pack of cigarettes. So, try not to get addicted to it.

For my first shot, I immediately started coughing out loud. However, later on as I caught the hang of it, I started to enjoy it more and more.

Truly a blast... The feeling is really irresistible, the more you suck it, the more you want it! I can truly say that Shisha smoking is very smooth and most unnoticeble when inhaled.

Just look at Daren's face. Look like some pervert right? =P

My sis, Yee Leng really seem enjoying it. =)

Nikolas really look like an Angry Tauren, huh? Pretty scary...

Apa NI... Asik refill saja, tak perlu buka business ke...

A Gourmet Gallop Round China

2009-07-21T08:34:00.000-07:00

Journey to China and back in as little time as it takes you to eat a meal. Think it's impossible? Well, Nick's foodtrip has brought us to Dragon-I which you'll be able to take a mini food tour around the various provinces to get a taste of what authentic Chinese food is all about.

The trip begin with a stop over in Sichuan Province where I eagerly dived into a bowl of Suchuan's famous Red-Hot Spicy Lamian(Noodle)Soup. This bowl may seem just like homemade Maggie Mee, but seriously it taste far better than that. For the Soup is different from the ones here that have been tailored to suit the Malaysian taste bud.

But still~ I would not say that it's a bowl filled with tiny treasures; The noodles really are smooth and chewy. Plus, the soup has become the only one of its kind with the addition of blended peanuts in it. So what actually went wrong?

Nick. Mok commented: For not being too spicy, the noodle soup has become more like a Curry Mee to me. And the deep fried pork ribs is really hard to chew. If it would be more tender and soft, I bet I'll love it more.

Once we done with Sichuan, we make our way to Shanghai with a traditional and best selling Steamed Soup Dumpling also known as Xiao Long Bao. There is one thing that I do not like about Dragon-I's Xiao Long Baos is that the skins are ridiculously thick. And they tend to be too large. If you're lucky, the filling might be about the right, with a good amount of soup; but the skin...

Since many people have never tasted a true xiao long bao: A proper xiao long bao should have very thin skin, about spoon sized and soupy on the inside. Nick.Mok recommended place: Nanxiang Mantou Dian which located in the touristy Yuyuan Market near Chenghuang Miao.

The next stop was Beijing with a traditional handmade pulled noodle which lay beneath the mince meat sauce. From the look of it, the noodle seems to be just fine. But Nikolas Cheah commented that the noodle doesn't taste as good as it look. Auch...

After the lovely noodle, the journey then takes us around China, tasting different kind of Chinese Tradition food with our tongue. Began with Harmonie's Stew Chicken Lamian. Seriously, I can smell the aroma from the Lamian while I'm taking picture of it.

As commented by Harmonie: The oil on the Stew Chicken Lamian is not too much and not too little. The ramen is in perfect taste. Simple but delicious.

Followed by Billy's Black Pepper Pork Chop Vegetable Rice.

As commented by Billy: I personally feel that it had a Shanghai feel.

Jevin's Mushroom Seremban Egg Rice

and Yam Roll.

As commented by Jevin: It's simply delicious. =)

Jien's Fried Rice Chicken Ham.

Jien commented that: It's quite normal. I can eat something like this in my house and outside too.

The meal come to an end in the South with a Chilled Mango Puree served with Pomelo. This is really light, cold and refreshing and the perfect end to such a large meal.

Souffle Egg White Ball with Red Bean Paste and Banana. This dessert was definitely a class of its own. The texture was really soft and feathery and the red bean paste and banana combination was a refreshing taste after all the heavy dishes before that.

I leave stuffed and satisfied after our gastronomic trip through China. With food this good, who need to travel?

Epicurean Extravaganza

2009-07-20T03:18:00.001-07:00

When you consider the quantity of hawker and mamak stalls that service the city so well, Malaysian fine dining could be said to be something of an oxymoron. However, there are few outlets that manage to bring the best of this magical cuisine and place it in an arena that oozes class and sophitication.

When I was invited to Cilantro, a Culinary Academy, for a noble cuisine by both of my close friends (Timothy & Chen How), it was an offer that I couldn't refuse. (Not because it's one of the best restaurants that serves fine cuisine, it's just that I never try cuisine before)

In such an optimum location, and with stunning green exterior, you could hardly miss it(Just opposite of USJ2's Giant; above Alicafe restaurant). And inside is even more opulent with lovely touches like curtains as well as pretty romantic lighting. Having found a spot easily in the vast car park(So unlike restaurants in the city centre, or somewhere else for that matter), we made it inside just before hunger kills us.

Once we were seated, their staff came around with complimentary welcome drink which was thoroughly refreshing and a delightful appetizer tray. The menu sounded very interesting and they had clearly put a lot if thought into it.

For the appetizers, we had an array of fresh-grilled salmon on a bed of avocado served with pickled ginger with caviar and sesame-dressed salad. All were delicious. Perfectly prepared and packed with flavour. Judging from the appetisers we knew dinner was going to be perfect.

The soups were up next and were quite yummy: a Japanese clear soup served with fresh-water shrimp. Since the soup was so good, we actually ask the chef out and tell us about the ingredients. As what chef lee told us, the soup was boiled with lots of prawn shell, leek, celery, onion and some other ingredients that are not allowed to tell.

For our mains, we had between us a Pan Seared Japanese Mackerel on top of 3 different colors capsicum infused spicy Miso accompanied with Nori Carbonara which served with angel hair, olive oil and fined seaweed.

Ahh... Judge not a thing and man at the 1st sight, for the Japanese Mackerel was actually cooked in a high steam instead of frying it. Relatively healthy, immaculately presented, simply seasoned and just unbelievably tasty. The oohs and aahs from each one of us were unstoppable and drew disconcerted stares from our neighboring diners.

You would think we were done but how can we leave without a dessert? We had Green Tea Parfait served with adzuki compote. The taste of the Green Tea Parfait is totally different compare to those ice-cream that we buy outside. Best is that, IT'S HANDMADE!!!

All were heavenly and held their own unique flavours. What more can we say, the meal was excellent. =)

Price: Rm25 per person
NOTE!: The promotion is only valid until July 15, 2009. (Student' finals actually) Sorry for the late update about such promotion.

CHECK THIS OUT: Secret Recipy & My Sweet Tooth

2009-07-18T08:37:00.000-07:00

If you notice most of my post. I write mostly about desserts and other sweet stuff. But by just hunting desserts and sweet stuff is never enough for me. As I, Nick, the food hunter will never stop hunting for nice and sweet foods around Malaysia. So, watch out Malaysia!!! =D

Well, initially I wanted to try out Secret Recipe's Durian Durian at their USJ2 branch, a seasonal four layers of vanilla cake with three layers of Durian filling. (YES!!! I know!!! Yummy is just the word) However, it was not in stock and I was told that it would only be available next week.

Since that my friends and I were already there, might as well have something to eat, right? It was a good thing actually, as each of us got to taste different cakes. Having a sweet tooth, I decided to try out the Chocolate Banana cake. =)

A few things to point out about the Chocolate Banana cake is that the whole cake is coated with melted chocolate that will give a yes yes in your tongue. Beside that, it's an extremely addictive, loads of banana slices on a bed of chocolate cream with chocolate sponge that would give you an irresistible feel.

Chocolate Strawberry cake, a cake with a gelatin layer at the top which gave it a weird taste. Come to think of it, the mixture of the strawberry and chocolate flavor also gave a funky taste. In short, the strawberry is better off without the chocolate and vice versa. Although both strawberry and chocolate don't mix well together, but the cake tasted better bite after bite. Maybe it is all about acquiring the taste for the mix?

Ahh... Who do not know about Chocolate Indulgence cake right? Secret recipe's best selling cake with an absolute luscious, luxurious and sinfully rich chocolate that gonna give chocolate lover a WOLALA!!! Chocolate Indulgence cake is cover with creamy and rich belgian coverture chocolate and white chocolate filling, a definitely must try in secret recipe =)

Tiramisu, a very common yet delicious cake that flavored with espresso. It is filled with layers of mascarpone cheese and cappuccino cream that going to give the cakes lover an unbelievable feel. YUMMY !!!

If you love oreo, you definitely will love secret recipe's oreo cheese cake. A frozen cream cheese with loads of crushed oreo biscuits, just one bite and you will deeply fall in love with it. A definitely must try too =)

Yogurt Cheese cake, a natural home-made yogurt with imported raspberry fruit filling and light cheese. I do not know why but I personally dislike the taste of the raspberry, but in the same time, the smooth creamy cheese has made my heart melted. (I actually push aside the raspberry and finish off the cheese 0_0)

All cakes went off at the price of RM 6.30 before taxes. Although all the cakes that I tried are really marvelous but still... I want my Durian Durian cake!!!

More Than Just Campus P.A.R.T.Y

2009-07-18T01:27:00.000-07:00

"Where'd you go, I miss you so, seems like it's been forever, that you've been gone." - Fort Minor.

YO!!! I know you guys miss me, cause I miss you guys too. Glad to inform that I'm still alive and so is this blog. So what took me so long to update? A few reason actually: a never ending assignment semester, pop quiz and exams, and of course, looking for nice foods and cool event around =)

Ahh... Just when I think that life on campus is getting a little drab, the breathtaking and explosive SEGI Revolution P.A.R.T.Y has hits colleges and universities in the Klang Valley. Lovely inviter like Fee Vien and Melisa as well as flyers have been seen zooming around SEGI Subang from 3th till 17th of July 2009, spreading around the mind blowing, adrenaline pumping and radical worship experience party! All college and university students of all races and color came out for their share of love to GOD.

Revolution Party is being held at Auditorium A of SEGI University College Kota Damansara. And what is best about a party is not the crowd, the music nor the MC but a FREE Party! (What is not nice when it is free right?) Just look at girls... err... i mean the crowd, it's like forever waiting to sign up... Gosh!!

Introducing Billy's new girl friend =P Just joking. It's actually Billy's sister, Lovely and friendly just like Billy =) What's her name you ask? I can't really remember (sorry 0_0)

The party is truly a blast!!! The songs, dances and messages really are inspiring!!! WhoAAA!!! (I'm won the limited edition T-Shirt by the way)

Until crowd went wild around the band, as the crowd all comes to jump around and have fun in front of the stage. Even non-students joined in the fun! Cool !!! Don't believe me, huh? Just look at the crowd then.

Have no idea who they are ? Look closer again. They are Jason, Sandra(singer) and Ms. Jaime(Piano) They really give me a shock, did not expect that they can sing so well. Really a Wau!!!

I always though that pastors are boring but not anymore. Pastor Kenneth really did a great job, he has made the whole room fill with laughter throughout the whole message time. Let see, what have I learn actually?

1st, GOD has given us everything, The Spirit of Live, Sound Minded and Power, EXCEPT FEAR !!!

2nd, Stop looking back at YOUR PAST!!!

3RD, Enemy can become your friend!!!

4th, Pastor Kenneth's grandmother is a Kung fu Master!!! As Pastor Kenneth share his funny young life living with his grandmother.

Time really passes just so fast, but I really enjoy the day. I still remember how everything goes as if it just happen earlier. I definitely will come for the next revolution party! For I feel no regret spending the 3 hours with everyone there, for the 3 hours it really will change your life!!!

I believe deeply that everything begins with Faith. Faith is what link between Man and God together and keeps Things Alive and Moving.

I LOVE HER, SHE LOVES ME.

2009-06-22T09:10:00.000-07:00

I want her to be by my side so much, presence of her makes me feel so alive and so much in love than before. She has been the one that I love and wanted all this while.

My heart beat so fast every time that her face come near to me, is this love? YES! IT IS! True to tell you that, if she's gone, I'd be devastated, I want you to know that, I love her, its only her that gives me light in my life.

You are the one who make me fall in love, you are the one who caught me smiling for no reason. You are the one who has been there for me when i needed help. You are the one that I love.

You have been wonderful. Happy 1 year and 4 months.

Foodtrip, Here I Come!!

2009-06-14T04:49:00.000-07:00

Huh? A food... WHAT?

Yes, you got it right. A Foodtrip... Now before you go "Oh no, not another introduction of food," hear me out =)

Like what I always say, "Food is a natural part of life..." So, I always make it as the highlight in my everyday life. Go and Google the best places to eat around, and take a mini road trip! Be adventurous and try some Mediterranean maybe? Make the eating expedition a fun thing by sharing different bowl between friends and love one. This not only will save money and stomach space, it will even have an intimate session between you and your love one as well as your friends as they are finishing all the best stuff and leaving none for you.

Well, the 1st foodtrip was to Klang... Klang? What could there be in Klang except for all those Ah Beng and Lala's?

Now this is the time where i jump out from nowhere to share what is great about Klang with you.

Klang is arguably the birthplace of Bak Kut Teh(BKT), which consists of meaty pork ribs simmered in a complex broth of herbs and spicies that definitely going to make your tongue do the Can-Can. It is so famous that most BKT stalls in Malaysia or even Singapore will have their signboard written there "Klang Bak Kut Teh" to attract customers.

So far, the Foodtrip has brought my friend and me to 3 different shops in Klang. They are different from one another, some sell thicker type of soup whilst some are clear.

Seng Huat BKT which is also known (Well, Malaysians are pretty poor in remember street names, so we tend to locate every famous eatery by landmarks) as the "Under the Bridge BKT" which is located along the same row of shop houses next to Klang KTM station. It may look just like some ordinary corner shop but seriously, don't be fool by its appearance. Why do I say so?

According to the newspaper, Seng Huat BKT is owned by the legendary guy, John Lee's Father, who made the 1st BKT in Klang during the World War 2. So if you want to taste the original BKT, you do know where to go, right?

There were some other newspaper cuttings about John Lee along with the TV crews and God of Food who travelled all the way from Taiwan and Hong Kong just to try the BKT in Seng Huat. The documentary about BKT filmed by the crews was aired in Astro before, it was quite interesting. Apparently Ah Xian was here before too, can you spot him?

Although it was not the best BKT we had in Klang, but it is not a disappointment either. The meat was nice and tender and the soups was gorgeous tawny brown as well as neither too thick not too clear which is to me, is the most important factor for good BKT. Oh yes, here you won't find the add-ins (deep-fried tofu, bean curd skin, canned mushrooms) used by many other shops.

Overall I think Seng Huat BKT was a good try and it did live up to its fame. Give it a shot, and I'm sure you'll like it. Be advised - they sell out everyday so arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Next stop, we bring you to Fong Keow BKT which located at Taman Rahsna, just opposite of Klang Bukit Raja Jaya Jusco. Ah... This time the BKT is a bit different than Seng Huat's BKT.

Fong Keow is famous for their add-ins BKT which consists of deep-fried tofu, bean curd skin, canned mushrooms that goes well with the rice and yau char kuai. There are even Chinese Newspapers articles about Fong Keow and their BKT. Definitely a must place to go and try.

Just by looking at the foods and it starts to make you feel hungry, huh? Once you dig in, there is nothing that's gonna stop you from eating it all.

Great ambiance, Great food... And what is even greater is that, they even have Wi-Fi !!! COOL !

Now, lets enter the "dry" version of BKT. The dry BKT is rather a recent phenomenon in Klang. You can find dry BKT any place in Klang these days but no one knows who was the founder for this fabulous dish is.

So what is the different between soup and dry BKT? Well, the dry BKT is only served in fried dried chilies, dried cuttlefish and lady finger in dark soya sauce rather than in herbal soup.

Yeah, I know, the place does look old but judge not a man and things at the 1st sight. Seriously, Angsa Emas which located somewhere near southern park football field serve fabulous dry BKT. However, my geographical sense of Klang is so poor that I wouldn't want to draw a map to confuse everyone,including myself. Hehe.

Now that is how a cookie crumbles, hope to see you guys in the next foodtrips. =)

Peace.

CHECK THIS OUT: That Dumb Kid... Nick in Sunway Pyramid

2009-06-09T07:48:00.000-07:00

I'm always afraid of being bored during Saturday yet it happened... Oh well, no worry about it. Just a few ring and I'm all set for another adventure (if you know me well, I'm a guy who can't stick my big juicy butt on a comfort and warm sofa with a remote on my right and popcorn on my left hand).

After done having our "Food Trip, here I come" (check out May post: Food for Thought for more info), we decided to spend a day in Sunway Pyramid. I met up with Harmonie at her workplace to pass her back Beau Bristow's album.

We snapped this shot on the walk from Harmonie's workplace to Guess (clothing). This guy was pretty awesome... Though I'm not sure what songs he's playing.

After a fight through the crowed horrible Malaysian, and that's when I saw it... GUESS (clothing) store. We only had a few minute in Heaven before they made us leave... I'm not sure why... Oh and by the way, those GUESS's handbags are really portable.

As we exited the GUESS store, we found ourselves outside of Movie Carnival 2009. I had a brief encounter with a few movie characters. Oh yes, Pei Ling is the one responsible for all these great photos. Thanks Pei Ling!

Guess who are those weirdos? Tip: Pirates of the Caribbean.

They even have star wars character here... Cool...

I am your father...

We are the Jonas Brothers.. Errr.. Guess Kevin just change sex?

Pei Ling still lived a bit of a childhood dream... this is ridiculous...

Aren't we just cute? =P

All the funs and laughter are definitely a day to remember. I bet everyone can enjoy their everyday life, it just depending on their creativity, the enough cash to last the day and of course, their comfortable clothing. Well, life is always way more fun when you're a kid, right? Why not enjoy a day with your loved one or friends reliving your childhood?

A Splash Performance

2009-06-06T10:11:00.000-07:00

It's true that one shouldn't form any judgement when seeing something for the 1st time, as Beau Bristow entrance has been so fabulous that it managed to surprise all the audience. It's really a waste for those who did not managed to attend his performance yesterday. (Read the previous 2post for more information about Beau Bristow)

But don't feel up sad, all thanks to "HARMONIE... (A Round of Applause)", I was able to upload Beau Bristow's performance video, to share with everyone who attended the performance and those who didn't.

Introducing our man singer - Beau Bristow (Beau is actually pronounce as 'Bo'). A singer that sing amazingly in studio but sing even better in live! Unlike most of the singer, Beau's songs were written through his experience in life, about the world and even sweeter, a love song to the girl that he admire.

I know just how you feel right now, and YES! It's just Beau and his guitar. And I couldn't agree more with Timmy, "Awesome one man show, assisted by some technology (he uses his leg to step on) that allows him to record his guitar playing in many layers. Even the drum sound and the electric guitar sound alike is all done with his guitar. You got to see him do this live! It’ll blow your mind!" (Timothy Khor, June06, 2009, Beau Spin, retrieve June07, 2009, from http://thymmy.blogspot.com/)

All the best to you Beau in everything and do enjoy yourself in Malaysia. Hope to see you again.

Having Faith In A God We Cant See?

2009-06-06T09:45:00.000-07:00

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has
with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill.
But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella.
Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.
Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD?
Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol,
Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes,Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat,
a Little Heat or No Heat.
But we don't have anything called Cold.
We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir.
Darkness is the Absence of Something
You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .
But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it?
In reality, Darkness isn't.
If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.
You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.
It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?

Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and
Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor,
Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol,
Science says that You have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.

Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly !
The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

NB:

I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so .. .
You'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same . . . won't you?
Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . . or FAITH.
That student was Albert Einstein.

*Got this from Timmy...

On The Road To Fame

2009-06-04T04:58:00.000-07:00

I was told by many that "Beau Bristow" is coming to have a live performance once I have my leg step into the college.

And just like you, I too was wondering who this Beau Bristow is. Harmonie, the vice president of the Student Council, told me that Beau Bristow is just like the male version of Taylor Swift.

I was actually laughing in my heart, saying that "Please, give me a break, Beau Bristow a male version of Taylor Swift? I definitely not buying that story."

Well, Basically everyone knows about Taylor Alison Swift, an American Country-Pop singer-songwriter. Rejected by the Music Row of Nashville with the hopes of obtaining a record deal at the aged of eleven but Swift received a great attention on her performance, singing the National Anthem at the U.S. Open Tennis tournament after she returned to Pennsylvania.

Wait a second, I'm not supposed to talk about Taylor Swift. Well... It just a little information about her for those who have no idea about it. Ok, back to Beau Bristow. So who's this Brau Bristow you ask? No one and I mean no one in my college actually know about him... Well, GUESS WHAT...???

"So Am I." =P

I definitely look really blur. Anyway, I'm proud to say that, "I'm the 1st to welcome him and take picture with him."

Bought it with Harmonie. Hope you guys can see my name 0_0

Well, apparently Harmonie and I were the 1st to bought the album too.

From the left: David, Beau, Nick (me), Missy and Harmonie

Playing live at cafeteria. Pull a lot of attention to people, specially girls.

David and his Djimbe, African Drum. Sweet...

Beau's entrance has been the biggest wakeup call ever to me. Without a doubt, that was the biggest surprise I have had so far. When Harmonie told me about Beau is like the male version of Taylor Swift. I was laughing at her statement but no one is laughing now. It was stunning, an incredible performance.

Meet David and David, they are both close friend.

guess who will be performing next? =P

Took a picture of him while he's resting. I have to say this... GOTCHA!!!

Beau Bristow, 28 years old, a Classical and Jazz singer-songwriter. Grow up in the south which is from rural McCalla, Alabama. The Southern soil still nurtures his growth even though he has expanded beyond it, and it gives in his music a unique flavor.

"I am always pursuing an expanded grasp of life," Beau adds, as evidenced in his song "Stand." Beau describes the song as a call to himself to take hold of even the painful pieces of life, and he plants the lyrics in music rich with the folk influences of his youth. (Kami Rice, date unknown, Bio, retrieved June 06,2009, from http://www.beaubristow.com/)

From hobbies to career, travel is an ever-present reality in Beau's life. In fact much of his life is characterized by motion as he responds to the challenges of being an independent artist. This is paradoxical against the title of his latest album. Nevertheless, Beau has learned that sometimes to truly stand requires motion. (Kami Rice, date unknown, Bio, retrieved June 06,2009, from http://www.beaubristow.com/)

End of the performance...

Comments from people who attended the performance:

Billy: He sounded jus like Jason Mraz

Harmonie: Awesome... The first snow patrol song he sang was better than the original singer. Throughout the performance, I was fascinated.

Timothy: Jason Mraz songs were great, but it's a bit boring. Beau sounded just like Jason Mraz, except Beau is way better.

Nick (Me): I would like to say that it's a complete privilege to hear Beau Bristow sing.

Beau Brisow will be performing live on this Sunday near Asia Cafe.

Just Another Sweet Day♥

2009-05-30T06:26:00.000-07:00

Went to pick Jin and her friend, Siaw Wen, up on Friday morning for another outing. But maybe a little bit too early... So we ended up doing crazy stuff at my place just to kill the time. We talk, we laugh, we disturb Jojo (pity Jojo actually), and some crazy stuff around. Like:

I'm suppose to be dead but why am I smiling? 0_0 Maybe hoping that someone (Jin) would give me a mouth to mouth CPR? LOL

What are we doing actually? I have no idea, just love to pull her around =P

We went for Ktv in Green Box at Aeon Mall after long hours of playing in my place. Once we enter the room, the 1st thing that we do are... "FOODS!!!" Went out to grab whatever that look nice.

Just Look at all the foods that we took 0_0 Girls, we are here to sing not to eat.

Poser? LOL

Just don't be fool by this picture. Basically that I can't sing well, just a poser =P

Happy moment past without a glance, so swiftly... After given Jin a kissed goodbye and I start all over missing her again. Really hope that time would just stop just for the both of us.

Terminator Salvation

The very well known movie with the storytelling of robotic as the film's iconic villains (Terminator Salvation)was theatrically release May27, 2009 in Malaysia (correct me if I'm wrong). Without any doubt in our heads, my friend and I went for the morning movie with anticipation.

Terminator Salvation was set in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor (Christian Bale) was the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row.

Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind. Well, it's true that Terminator Salvation offer plenty of great effects but I personally feel that it's lack of the heart of the original films compare to the previous movies.

Yes you, Girl I'm talking about you. You’re so fine with that view that I couldn't stop looking at you. Just staring at your deep black round eyes has got me lost. I have no idea who you thinks you are, you walk as though you're of royalty.

Oh guys, don't get me wrong. I'm just describing my pet, Jojo. :) Well, I'm not really a dog lover and quite afraid of barking dogs except Jojo. Why? Pretty and cute are just the words for her. And I'll bet that you'll agree with me once you look at the photos below.

This is how she look like when we are bringing her out for shopping

Dress up for an afternoon walk around my house area.

Jojo, it's time for your swimming lesson.

Err, I bet she's hungry 0_0

Well, what do you think? Agree or disagree with me that she's pretty and cute? I really care for Jojo very much evenalthough I love to disturb her in many ways. =P

A picture is Worth a Thousand Words

2009-05-25T07:34:00.000-07:00

I couldn't agree more with Brian O’Mara-Croft that most of us have always found ourselves more comfortable with pictures than blocks of text. As children, we learn many words from associating oral and printed words with images, often in picture books and visual dictionaries. Like what stated by many people: A picture is Worth a thousand words, but what actually makes a good photographer?

Andy Lim, a Professional Photographer, replied that it depends on the area of photography, a photographer can be observant yet unobtrusive if he wishes to capture candid moments. A photographer needs to show his/her extroverted side and be fun and spontaneous for portraiture. A photographer should be perfectionist and have an eye for detail in order to do commercial photography. But moSt important of all, the photographer has to love what he or she is doing.

In this post, I'm not just sharing a little info about what makes a good photographer, but also to share some of image that I've found it nice while I'm googling (it could be lame, cute, cool and so on)

Image that I find it creative

Oh, I also found one very cool website that I wanted to share with everyone. Too bad that ChoO ChoO intro it 1st before I do, jeez... OK, this website (www.namegoogle.com) allow us to change the word "Google" into whatever you want it to be by clicking the "change logo" (can be your name, your girl friend name and so on). And the best thing about it is that you can still browse things on the net using the name you have created. Cool, huh?

Offering more than 100 types of steamboat ingredients and with the reasonable price have pull more than 300customer a day. Located just opposite of Sunway Pyramid.

Even the place is huge, Q-ing is still a necessary to every customer. Oh, before I forget to inform you guys, the best part of this restaurant is that "Customer Will Be Charged Rm 6 per 100 Gram of UNFINISHED FOOD." Cool right?

My favorites seafood: Mantis prawn :) YUM YUM

It's not the question of "How Many Foods Do They Have" but is the question of "How Many Foods can You EAT"

Let the feast begins!!! AW HA HA HA~ Err, that sound just so wrong 0_0

This is what I love the most in this shop. Fried Chicken Wing and Baby Octopus

Woo!!! Nothing is nicer than eating chicken wing over and over again. FUYOH~!!!

Look damn Yummy-licious right? Pity you're not there to try it with me :P

And for Desserts... He He. Ice Cream !!!

The Artist Is Nothing Without The Gift, But The Gift Is Nothing Without Work - Emile Zola

2009-05-22T12:33:00.000-07:00

Now having successfully being amazed by every talents showed in Youtube send by Jin. I must say I agree with the quote; the artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work. With the gift, people tried hard to get down to practice at day and night after a tiring day, or waiting for the dreaded rejection given by the crowd that would hangs over their head like a guillotine just to be better. 'Cause they know that a thing worth doing is worth doing well.

SO first and foremost, if there's one person who is at the very core of anything I ended up being amazed and start writing this post and as a person, it's my girlfriend, Jin. I never was a fan of talents programs 'cause I use to think "How talented a person can be?" Not until the moment Jin ask me to watch just one.

When I watch the first video clips, I've been fascinated by how talented a 11year old kid is. His guitar skills actually make my mouth fall open. Without any doubt in my head, I ask Jin to send me more link about all this people with their talented skills. "OH My GOD, OH WAU !!!, That's really out of my expectation, Great Spirit, Great lovely smile, Great Energy and This Is Way More Cool Than Playing Games" believe it or not, that's what's coming out from my mouth each time i watch one.

The Unexpected Video I ever seen 0_0

Better Late Than Never

2009-05-21T11:24:00.000-07:00

Life's always way more fun when you're a kid, right? So I have made up my mind, "Why not I enjoy the day reliving my childhood? Eating donuts in a great ambiance place. Go for a movie and even go mess stuff up in some shop (what is best is that the workers don't chase me off anymore. AWH HA HA HA (evil laughter)"

I stood in front of the cinema and turn to my left, and lo and behold, it's written there: Big Apple Donuts and Coffee. I wiped my droll from the corner of my mouth and made a straight beeline towards the glowing signboard along with my friend, TimMY and Wing Siang (missing a few steps on the way).

When it comes to getting me all excited, just the word DESSERT bring out all the alarm bells that were set up around the cholesterol meter. With a great combustive combination of the warm. welcoming flattened sphere injected with jam, jelly, cream, custard, or other sweet filling.

It's all mine. You guys don't even dream of touching it even if you guys payed for it. Blek~ sign*

Just look at Wing Siang face. We can tell right away that the donuts are Mar-vee-lo-usss~ Err, don't forget to wiped your mouth ya, Wing Siang...

I'm just being a good boy, Mommy always say must finish everything that I order. 0_0

I did mention about going to mess stuff up in some shops right? He He He... This is what I do after enjoying my meal.

Testing, Testing, 123... Ahem, This is Nick and thank you for listening to the all new Nick Hot.FM

Go away!!! It's my ice cream~

Got Cha!!! It's just a tissue box XD

O, ya... I did mention about movies right? Went to watch Star Trek. I never felt so satisfied after so long. The last movie that make me go Wild was Step Up2. OK, Star trek is basically about James T. Kirk and Spock trying to stop Nero to create a black hole by using the red matter that would made a planet instantly disappears. The supernova black hole had enough mass to create a gravitational effect strong enough to warp space/time and create a worm hole while the planer/ship didn't have enough mass to create a long lasting black hole that would evaporate very soon after creation. Will James T. Kirk and Spock be in time to save everyone from Nero's destruction?

It's really a very nice movie that worth spending your money to watch in cinema. I would say, 2 Thumbs up :)

Happy 520 Days = May20, 2009

2009-05-20T02:40:00.000-07:00

I was given a wish of happy 520days by Jin (was blur when I read her sms reply), then she ask me about today's date... Our 520days is actually the same as today's date; May20, cool right?

Jin, I would say it a thousand times and say another thousand times again, and the words will be YES, I LOVE YOU. Thanks for being there for me every time, regardless of I'm happy or sad. And thanks to you again, I enjoy my everyday with lots of love from you. Like what i promises, I will always hold your hand no matter what happen.

Always happy together >.< HAPPY 520days which is 1 Year, 2months, 2weeks, and 3days. I love you.

from Nick.Mok
