30th and 31st Jan 2010
30th Jan 2010
We had a surprised party for WeiHoong and, distance-celebration for KokMun and farewell of Suet Yee at Chillis, MidValley. WeiHoong saw us and... smile in a way which I can't describe. Before WeiHoong arrived, we ordered food already and the food is ready as soon as he arrived. Wonder why didn't order together. LoL. I ordered something called hot honey crispy chicken. I have forgotten the name. (-.-") Anyway, the pics of the dish is on the menu itself, once you flipped to the page for "chicken". It was spicy and make your tongue hot!! Phew....
The cake... Chocolate Banana. Chocolate Indulgence a NO.. It seemed to be too common already and Brian agreed. In the end, we chose Chocolate Banana. Here comes another problem... the wordings on the cake. We managed to fit everything. Thanks to the staff in Secret Recipe!! =D
Next, to the cinema. Watched Legion and all of us were late for 5 minutes. Who can tell me how does the movie start off?!!
There is a character which looks a lot like Hann Jiunn and all of us agreed and laugh in the cinema itself!! The storyline of the movie is below normal... Angels-possesed human vs Angel + human . The message in the movie though is this: Have faith in what you believed in, and everything will turn good?
After cinema...left MV and farewell....Pics and vids are with WaiShan and SuetYee and posted@Facebook...
~Thanks to Brian for being my driver for the day~
31th Jan 2010
Today, marked the 1st anniversary of the 2009 CNY house hopping. Time flies.. Will there be another one this year?
Wangsa Walk Mall
Wangsa Walk Mall, the mall that started business about 5 months back. Not much to shop there though. The shop I visit the most is none other than Popular Bookstore >.< Sad isn't it? The interior is full of slopes and staircases, since the mall is built on a slope.
There are around 4 restaurants/ cafe there, namely TGI Fridays, Secret Recipe, Little Wok Kitchen..... Some shops selling
- clothes, including Rip Curl,
- watches,
- shoes-XES Studio, MYS Collection
- books and stationery - Popular
- Sports equipment
- healthcare products - GNC
- mobile phones, computer equipment, broadband services....
- music instruments - Yamaha
- pets, I think
- daily needs - Cold Storage
- hair salon - Silver Cut, Miko
- eyewear - Focus Point, Milano..
- Celebrity Fitness
- Slimming Sanctuary
- Laundry services
- Bowling - Wangsa Bowl
- Karaoke - SuperStar Karaoke and Song Box
- Cinema - TGV, coming soon...
Although it is not much to shop, but I think it is quite a complete mall. However, there is a bad publicity of it not long after it started business. For the news, click here.
911 Staged by US itself? Whistle blower policy for PKA
Malaysia's former prime minister has done it again!! He claims that 911 is staged as an excuse to invade the Middle East. Wow! Indeed, there are many perspective on how you see things.
Why don't we have a thought on why is the government so keen in cutting the subsidies (sugar, fuel) and introduce taxes( Real property gain tax and GST). Is it that Malaysia reserve is depleting soon? Or it is just that they aimed to lower down the the fiscal deficit?
On the other occasion, the transport minister has announced that whistle-blower policy is set out to be used in the controversial Port Klang Authority(PKA) incident. It will soon implemented to the other port authorities. This is a good move by the ministry.
However, this policy should also be implemented to the other companies as well to help early detection of any fraud in companies . It can help to minimize the loss of investors of the company.
The people have to have the courage to become a whistle blower as well. Some may have the mentality that, "I am getting my pay for now. If I report, I may lose my job. Why should I report it?"
Lexus LFA
First ever supercar made my Lexus, a Japan luxury car manufacturer. 10years taken before this car is finally launched.
The 3 exhaust pipes together form a triangular shape. UNIQUE!!!
The speedometer is extremely cool!!
The official video
Top Gear BBC reviewing it
Some of the specs:
4.8L V10 Engine
Carbon fibre body
Top speed: 202mph / 325kph
0-60miles in 3.6sec
Price: All I can say is that it is worth 2 or 3 Nissan GTRs.
Buffet Lunch at The Living Room, Westin
Dimsum
Pasta in carbonara sauce, tomato is available as well. The carbonara sauce is very nice.
Some dimsum and some fried food
Lok-lok? Yong tau foo is available as well...
Chicken soup
Mushroom soup I think... Doesn't suit me
Indian and chinese food plus some rojak
Ice Cream! But not Haagen- Dazs or Baskin Robbins.
Hmm.. Aren't sure what is the cooking style. A little like teppanyaki.
Waffle
Breadstick, papaya, honeydew and marshmallows...
Cappuccino
The Living Room
There are many choices of food in this buffet. The food shown above are roughly 65% of all food served. Due to the size of my stomach, thats the limit of food I manage to put into my stomach. The environment is quite peaceful and quiet.
Marks given: 8/10
Food and Sugar
How do you define good food?
(A) Food that is nice, tasty, with meat and which may cause you to have diabetes, high blood pressure and other diseases after consuming them for many years,
OR
(B) Food that is dull, tasteless, lots of green, which allow you to live a healthier life?
Anyway, speaking of diabetes, our government is now concerned about it. One of the ways to reduce diabetes is reducing sugar consumption, thus the subsidies are cancelled off. List of items that will be more expensive: Sugar (-.-") , teh tarik, coffee, bread, cakes, iced lemon tea, Coca-cola and so on... Well, it is still a good move.
Many of us would think that sugar cause diabetes. Of course!! However, we should take note of carbohydrate as well since carbohydrate will be broken down into glucose, which is a type of sugar also. Does that mean that the government is gonna raise the price of rice, which is a huge supplier of carbohydrate? I don't think so...
New Year, New Hope, New Resolutions...
Happy new year everyone! Quite a special new year eve this year by spending it with friends. First time. Thanks to YeeTheng for inviting us to her house.
So, resolution for 2010:
Graduate by the end of the year? This can be quite saddening. Leaving
Other than that, no more I think..... Unless trying not to be single? LoL.. Happy new year and enjoy 2010!!
2 years to go to the end of the world...
Proton is cheaper in UAE than in Malaysia?
I read somewhere that Proton are selling their cars cheaper in the UAE ( maybe in other countries also), compared to Malaysia. It is claimed that the prices are set that low for market penetration. Anyone here knows about this?
Market penetration pricing. Seems like Proton cars are selling at a much higher profit margin to Malaysians than the other countries (not proven of it). And here I thought that national cars should be sold cheaper in their own country?
No matter how ridiculous it seems, Malaysians will still be buying the not so cheap(same quality?) Protons. or maybe PERODUA!!
Milk produced in Malaysia is just wasted away?
Recently, I heard that about RM20+ of milk which is produced in Malaysia was just poured away. It seems that the manufacturers who need milk as their material prefer imported milk due to a cheaper pricing. Hence, the milk was left to turn sour and just poured away. What a waste..
Why can't the price be lowered down to match with the competition? And minimise the loss as well. It is said that the government plans to set a quota that the manufacturers must buy local milk before buying those imported ones. Another protective mechanism. This is perhaps why Malaysia cannot compete with the other countries. Just let the business owners make losses. Definitely, they will think of ways to make profit, thus increasing the competition and improving Malaysia.
It is the same case as Proton? Why can't Proton manufacture a supercar, when they have a subsidiary which does it and is entering F1 in 2010. Till date, they only show us "Lotus handling". Something like that...
Mercedes E- Class W212
Yes, this is the new Mercedes Benz E Class W212. This is the colour which is used in advertisements. I guess this is the best colour afterall. The front lights have been changed to rectangle-ish from oval shape, making it more ferocious? The oval shaped lamps have been used for 2 generations already. However, the concept of "1 big 1 small" front light is still preserved. The fog light, which is like an "L" is quite new to me. Besides, the signal light at the side mirrors are like forks, instead of a rectangle in the older version. From here, the rear looks a bit like the S-class.
A silver Merc E class
Price of an Mercedes Benz E300: RM450k++
Ampang Look out Point
Sorry for the late post. Went to Ampang Look Out Point on 9/10 to celebrate YeeHao, WenJing and ChengHong's birthdays. 3 birthdays, celebrate in one go XD. Had dinner in Gasoline.
KarHoe's car while we gathered at the Shell petrol kiosk near Ampang. It seemed like the order of the " car following arrangement" is messed up. Time to rearrange which car following which car...
The view of KL... City of light?
Our tables.. Many tables and chairs to accommodate many people
Tsk, additional RM2 without ice...
Group Photo!!
Ordered mushroom chicken chop. Something like that. It tasted just acceptable. However, there is a breach in health and safety regulations? I saw a chef preparing the salad, taking the vege, without gloves on, just bare hands?
~Sorry for the super-lateness~
Exam ended... Semester ended....
F7 F8 F9.. Those are the subject code of the subjects that I sat for. Financial Reporting, Audit & Assurance and Finance Management. And today, it is the day the semester really ended. Thanks to all my lecturers no matter what are the results.
F8 was the first day, then F9 and F7. F8 was quite do-able, despite many surprises. F9, one of my favourite paper wasn't so. Did not understand and screwed my favourite paper badly? Maybe. And lastly, F7, do-able as well, although there are some elements of surprise. But these surprise weren't welcomed!!!
Anyway, it is time to enjoy and suffer when 22th February 2010 comes....
~Happy Holidays to all!!!~
Bugatti Veyron crashed into saltwater lagoon
Reason of crash: Distracted by pelican! LoL
Live coverage!!
Car being towed out of lake
Some songs of Gary Cao
Love this song the most!!!
你的笑容是恩惠世界难得那麽美
於是追要你陪
可惜本能终会将美丽汗水化成泪水
黑夜之所以会黑叫醒人心里的鬼
在游说在萦回
在体内是什麽在把我摧毁在伤痕累累
我可以无所谓寂寞却一直掉眼泪
人类除了擅长颓废
做什麽都不对 oh … i'm not okay
我假装无所谓才看不到心被拧碎
人在爱情里越残废
就会越多安慰无论(有)多虚伪
空虚并非是词汇能够形容的魔鬼
它支配着行为
能摆脱寂寞我什麽都肯给就像个傀儡
And, below are the vids of his fight with 侧田. Lol..
奸夫!! LoL
This happened in ChongQing, China. Husband came back and found out another guy was sleeping with his wife. Had to stand naked on the air compressor.
SYABAS
No water supply again. For the second day. The supply is back for about 17hours or so and then it is lost again. Just few hours without water is extremely difficult. Imagine you came home from outside and someone break the news to you and you can't bath!! Where are you going to bath? Argh. What's more, you get your drinking water straight from the tap, after being filtered. No, you have to go and get mineral water.
When called to ask, they said yesterday something near Carrefour Wangsa Maju was damaged and today was Pangsa Murni. My sister ask... Then tomorrow leh? Where spoil? LoL.
This reminds me of this clip from Namewee, who scolded TNB this time.For those who just want to see him argue, stop watching at 3:58.
Karaoke @ Superstar
Went for karaoke @ Superstar Karaoke,located in Wangsa Walk Mall. They are using TOUCH SCREEN!!! Just touch here and there and choose your songs. Playlist up to 5 pages, each with 10 songs, so 50 songs in total. You can search by "writing" out the song title under "search". They provide you a remote control as well. However, the annoying thing about this touchscreen is that, when you stop the song, you have to go to the screen to confirm it.
Outside food and drinks are allowed in the premise. Unlike RedBox, which you are required to buy the food and drinks from them.
The people there are quite nice. The room given is very small and very near to the screen. After awhile, we complain and they gave us another room. Although both are considered as small rooms, but the 2nd room is much comfortable to the eyes.
I have no idea whether the songs are as many as RedBox and Neway, but those from very famous artistes are available.
There are packages provided as well. The package I went for is for a small room one, with 2.5 hours of singing time, no food and drinks provided. Price of it.. RM60. For big room, they go on per hour basis I think, RM38/hour. I don't know how many people can it fit though.
A FAILED goal
What a goal.. The irony is that the beach ball is thrown by a Liverpool fan.. And Liverpool lost the match just by the goal. Too bad for Liverpool? Or is it fated to be like that?
