3e's Birthday Dinner @Duck King Restaurant

Before I start to get real busy with the whole load of work I have, let's have this blog post up first.
On Friday, my 3e celebrated her xxth birthday (Haha, age is a woman's secret mah :p) and it was really nice of them to invite Ducum and I to the dinner. Although... That would means spending more money on the present and taxi... Haih... *shake head~*
But really, thank god we went, otherwise we would have wasted such an unforgettable dinner at Duck King Restaurant @ Jaya One! The food there were simply AWESOME!!!
Alright, before getting to the point (food), we have some nice pictures here as a little warm-up...Love that dress-cum-top that Karen gave me! Everyone at the dinner said it looks nice! Thanks a lot to my dear friend Karen!!! :)Ducum and I playing around with Shawn!
That's Uncle Thong, the host of the night, picking what to have for dinner...
Birthday girl 3e is here! And that's her holding the present we gave her, from Promod, like everyone's favourite brand man! Of course we cannot miss taking photo with the birthday girl lar! 3e's lovely family... And the scarf I bought for her! Nice ler???
The dinning table in the VIP room!
4e is soooooo going to kill me if she sees this... Haha... Look how scared she was when Eu Jin was trying to open the champagne bottle.
Another guest of the night was Ah Ku!
Nice shot of our cute and pretty Ah Ma~! :)
Well I guess I just can't wait any longer to have my sip of champagne... Hehehehe...
Dishes we had that night were really good! But I didn't get to see the menu, and I was too lazy to check them out later (obviously too busy cam-whoring and then.. Eating), so I'll simply put some names for them lar...Tit bits from left: Jellyfish, steamed peanuts, pork with some garlic and chili.
More tit bits from left: Super nice potato salad, super nice crispy sotong and super nice cashew nuts with sesame.
Starter: Siu Yok, Roasted Pork!
Jellyfish again... I think it tastes like jellyfish with some curry powder, not too sure...
Very special shark fins soup! You see the bloody big piece of fins there? And it has loads of crab's eggs in it, damn nice lor~!
The Smoked Duck. I personally think the taste of the 'smoke' is a bit heavy lar.
Deep Fried Kai Lan, seems like one of the family's favourite dishes.
Oh, I just LOVE this Tofu with Mushroom dish~! Definitely a big big MUST TRY!!!
Drunken prawns with herbs? This is really good too!
The la-la was also not-too bad!
The famous Claypot Goat Belly was also bloody delicious! :)
Fried Sao Mien (Birthday Noodles) was great just because it has real big pieces of fish and shrimps!
Basically, Duck King Restaurant impressed me from their tip bits all the way till the final dish! Every single dish was SO GOOD! Ok lar, I supposed if I were the one ordering, I would have ordered a Peking Duck instead of the Smoked Duck. And I supposed I didn't fancy the jellyfish with curry powder or whatever it is... Still The restaurant really impressed me a lot!!! I'm really looking forward to a second visit there! I missed Peking Duck!!!
By the way, my cousin bro Eu Jin also returned to Melbourne the next night. You see, he actually grown taller, I mean AGAIN??? Look how tall is he now...And I was wearing a pair of heels... ==|||

Two movies a night is just real fun!

After avoiding the crowd at the cinema for a few weeks, I finally went for movies again last night, two in a row! BUT I didn't watch Transformer 2 lar! I'm not a fan of such movie, plus, I finally found someone, someone who is a real famous film critic, Robert Ebert saying the movie sucks! I was honestly very excited to hear the first person to say the movie isn't good! So I don't need to force myself to watch it anymore! Yay~! :p
Anywayz, I had a great movies night! :)
Ice Age 3: The Dawn of the Dinosaurs
This time around, the characters went to the land of the dinosaurs. When I first saw the scene where they reached the land of dinosaurs, I was like wow~How I missed the dinosaurs! You know during our times there were so many cartoon or books about dinosaurs but now not anymore!
Apart from that, the movie is quite funny, thought not the funniest animation of all. But the whole animation thingy amazed me a lot, especially with the way they've created the elephant's fur like so detailed!
I really like the new character, Buck! And well, Buck has the voice of Simon Pegg! So cute! :) And OMG Crash and Eddie are so funny~! Remember to pay attention to the scene where they were caught in some poison cave(not sure what it is called) and started to laugh so hard. Definitely the funniest part of the entire movie! Not to forget the two squirrel-looking animals who fell in love in the movie, that was really cute too~!
Well, I think you have a go with this if you just want to relax or watch a light comedy!

Public Enemies
You know something is really wrong when you sooooooo hope that the bad guy wouldn't die in the end of the story, and that you feel like you're heartbroken when he was finally shot dead? That was exactly what happened to me when I watched Johnny Depp playing American gangster John Dilinger in the movie! Although it's a bit weird watching his face so clean, not as a bloody killer or a pirate, he is still OMG SO HOT I feel like I will faint anytime! And like he is the perfect person to play the role! He is cool, and has the very bad boy, yet dangerously seductive look! I personally love the scene when John told his girl to follow him away, telling him what he likes~! Damn cool man, if I'm a girl I would definitely follow him lar! And the scene where John like so casually walked into the police station, into the department they set up just to capture him! OMG, THAT WAS AWESOMELY COOL!!!
Oh, sorry I went a bit too far. Haha....:p BUT JOHNNY DEPP IS REALLY COOL LAR!!!*Scream~*
Okay, the movie is based on a true story, a legendary bank robber in the States who changes the history of their law or something. So it's an old school movie lar, like all the guns also damn long one, they sing lots of country songs, etc. I don't know, but Ducum's friend doesn't like it, but I definitely think it's a cool movie! Like the way the robbers uses their plain strategy to fight with the technology the cops have was like really kan-cheong to watch! And you know what? Christian Bale's fans should not watch this movie, because Johnny Depp makes him looks really stupid! Kakakaka...
Honestly, no regrets at all for this one, MUST WATCH!

By the way, ticket collectors at TGV Sunway Pyramid need to go for tickets-tearing training session ler, look at my ticket...:( Muahhhhhhh... I want my perfect ticket!!!

Movie & Music Reviewzzzzz...

Sorry for not updating my blog for quite a while. Well, sometimes it just happens when all things come at the same time and I was busy with work, part-time work & others. I have so much that I wanted to blog about, but some were impossible when pictures are not with me. :( So before I start re-arranging all the photos, let's have some reviews that I've wanted to share with you guys for a long long time.

The Movies Portion...
I've not been to the cinema for about 2 weeks plus now, since the release of Transformer 2 made the cinema bloody jam. Now Harry Porter is coming pulak, aiks! How and when can I finally go for a movie again remain... Unfortunately very much unknown...;( So here are the two movies I watched on DVD.
After The Wedding
A Nominee for Best Foreign Film at the Oscar this year, this Danish movie was shown somewhere last year or earlier this year at GSC. I missed it, so I bought the DVD.
It's basically a movie about a guy who met his ex-gf on a wedding of the ex-gf daughter. And he figured the daughter may be his... And then the whole load of twist and turn made it a little dramatic yet very touching. Though half way through you might already know some of the twist before it actually happens, still I personally love this movie a lot.
Best of all, I think the entire cast did such a great job! The main guy, Mads Mikkelson and main lady Sidse Babett Knudsen were great but I think the second main guy and lady, Rolf Lassgard and Stine Fischer Christensen's acting were SUPERB!


非诚勿扰
其实冯小刚的电影我真的很少看,但有看过的都很印象深刻,非诚勿扰之前是手机吧?而且当时对葛优留下超深刻印象的,虽然我已经完全忘了他在里头的角色......==|||
我想,手机和非诚勿扰有一个相同的地方,也是我最爱的地方,就是很普通。嗯,你知道我都很爱张艺谋以前的电影,因为都很平实、很有味道。但后来他的电影就是要卡士很大、花费很大、很隆重、很花俏的,看了反而讨厌。
非诚勿扰把一个40多岁的男人(葛优的角色)的相亲故事拍成电影,当中现实得来又有搞笑的、感人的.......结果爱上一个心里已有别人女人(舒淇的角色).......我觉得很妙的是,这段爱情故事真的很可爱,葛优配舒淇就已经很可爱了啊!而葛优也再一次让我超喜欢他的!虽然就是一个光头的中年男人,但他那种坦荡荡的演技、那种幽默感、那种不轻易的浪漫的样子......吼,好迷人!如果你有看的话,要注意他穿着黑熊装向舒淇求婚那一幕,特别可爱!
当然,还有客串的surprise人物徐若萱,扮演的角色还蛮新鲜的哦!

Alright, definitely hoping to catch Public Enemies soon! Woo~Johnny Depp!!!

The Music Portion...
You know I don't always buy original CDs nowadays, but lately I've bought quite a few of them like all of a sudden... So I'm going to write about them and proudly showing you the pictures of the album that I've bought! :p
OST of Slumdog Millionaire by A.R. Rahman
I always love Indian music, they always make me feel like dancing. And that is why I went on to buy this album, especially after it won two major music-related award at the Oscar this year. The song Jai Ho is absolutely my favourite song at the moment, even at the Zumba class! Love it so so much! And I still think the original one is much more better than the Pussy Cat Dolls' version! My second favourite would be O...Saya. Even the slower song, Latika's Theme sounds so beautiful! I would prefer all the more 'Indian' tracks like Ringa Ringa and Liquid Dance, rather than those that are a bit more like pop songs. It's a really cool album if you want something not the ordinary pop or rock songs in the market.

暗恋~张智成
经过了一番低潮终于发片了!张智成这张专辑是我在它还没正式发行我就决定好一定要好好支持的一张专辑,可能是因为我等太久了吧?也可能因为我希望还有下一张!
第一次听这张专辑时的确有点失望,怎么感受不到那些很厉害的R&B唱腔了?都好像变得很pop和很抒情歌曲了?但之后因为要出席他的音乐会所以再听多了几遍后就越来越喜欢了!这样才好,这表示它耐听嘛!
主打歌迷魂阵虽然刚开始听会不禁邹起眉头,怎么怪怪的?但再听多几次就觉得很有味道,也听得出张智成在唱假音的厉害!有点Justin Timberlake的味道!还有我很喜欢的爱来得刚好,哦,超爱这首歌的!暗恋也很不错,我正在期待它的MV哦~!:p还有第四者、残骸等等都是很棒很棒的!
当然,我还是觉得少了张智成以前那种很R&B的味道,但歌曲还是好听的、专辑还是值得收藏的!智成台湾发片一定要大成功啦~!:)

太青春~超克7
哈哈,这个我是拜托新加坡的Aiwen帮我在台湾买、再签名的迷你专辑哦,在大马暂时还没能找到哦!:p
等了大概半年的迷你专辑,里头有三首歌,虽然没有说很特出,但的确没令我失望,应该是说比我想像中的好很多!太青春真的很青春,连歌词都太in了,那种很正经的人可能接受不来,但整首歌真的很fun!我个人比较喜欢等什么,比较有感觉、比较潮的感觉啦!虽然我得承认,他们的歌声还是有待进步的,但这首歌真的很容易琅琅上口,而且MV超帅的啦!我太笨就比较so-so了,感觉很有Lollipop的味道,好像不太好,应该要有超克7自己的味道才对啊!
还要特别提一提里面的DVD,是7个男孩说自己的故事的,拍得都好漂亮、好好看!这里当然要特别提一下小马那一段自己觉得最感人、最值得大家学习的故事!从以前的烂痞子走到今天一个耀眼的偶像,我真的觉得小马好棒!那段故事看到我都眼泛泪光了!而且我非常喜欢他在里头说的那句话,“我什么都不会,那是我的强项,因为我什么都不会,所以我输得起!”小马加油~!

超级4场 Supermarket~曹格
没办法,曹格的专辑我还是规定了一定要买的,更何况这次的包装放在唱片行架子上就已经很吸引我去买了啊!但我要在这里破梗了!不要以为你买的封面是鱼的,里面就只有鱼的图,也不要傻傻的去买完四个不同封面的啦,因为真的不需要。打开来里面其实四张都有,你只需要把你要的那面放在第一张就可以了!
主打歌寂寞先生让大家再一次听到金曲歌王飚高音的厉害,只是有了之前的Superwoman和背叛那么红的歌曲,这首歌似乎没有那种会变红的感觉。我个人的最爱是超级市场这首歌,不管是词还是曲都很cute、很sweet!嘻嘻,其实基本上我都比较喜欢里面的那些比较轻快的歌曲,像Happy Day和咖哩热狗。咖哩热狗算是比较特出的一首歌吧?好像还没停过曹格有一首rap的歌曲吧!当然rap的部分是MC Hot Dog负责,但整首歌还是很有fu哦!
综合来说,不算是曹格最好的一张专辑,但真的很喜欢它的包装,包括里面的歌词簿的设计,还有曹格这次的形象!至少不再是露胸、露毛之类了,而是很搞怪、很特别的!:)

啊,不知道有没有人有兴趣看8月8号在云顶举行的《許冠文鬼馬棟篤笑2009》?我好想好想去看哦!受了妈妈的影响,我从小就很爱看许冠文啦!现在有得看他live讲笑话,超想去的!!!Anybody想去的吗?可以陪我一起去吗???

My LURVE Affairs with Polka Dots

If you've seen this blog post, you would have know I'm STILL very much in lurve with Polka Dots.
To help you refresh your memory a bit on the Polka Dots item I own earlier, I have these...Like I've said earlier, I think the Polka Dots trend is so over, by now even stars shapes is over. But to be honest, I still really couldn't get over the Polka Dotsia in me! Every single time I saw stuff with Polka Dots I go like "Oh so cute~!", and the next thing you know, I'll be at the cashier paying for the polka dots item. I know, I know I need to save up for many things and trips coming up! But... But... But... I really cannot control myself lor...
Since the Polka Dotsia post last year, I've added more Polka Dots items into my collection. I have no idea how many exactly the amount of Polka Dots item I have, you know some are like on the ribbon of my shorts, some on the ribbon of my shoes, some somewhere in my wardrobe lar. So Here are some of them that I can remember...
Yea, from pretty dresses I bought from my trip to Singapore, till sleeping dress and undies! I'm still dying looking for pretty-looking Polka Dots bra at the moment. Any recommendations???I've also got a brand new Polka Dots make-up case, a mirror from Ducum last X'mas, which was accidently, from the same series as the make-up case. And also black & white Polka Doted umbrella, headband and a mug! I'm lurving that mug!!!
Ducum also recently got me a colourful Polka Dots headband from a RM5 shop. So the comel...But my favourite of the latest Polka Dots item would be this Retro-styled tissue packet holder! Isn't it cool???Well, if you've been following my blog for a while, you'll know fashion is one of my favourite past-time, but that doesn't really beat my Lurve for good food too, actually. Since Twisties Lurve came into the market, I've tried it and totally fell in love with it! It's multigrain, so that means its healthier and NOT-SO-FATTENING lar! And I think it's the grain that makes the snack extra tasty and crunchy! I've told my mum, my sister and my roomate to try it and they all lurve it too! And nowadays, whenever I crave for snacks especially for movie-watching session, I'll go for Lurve...That's me watching some Horror movie, I think...
So, do you have something you Lurve so much that you wanna share it with other poeple too? Then take part in the Lurve Affairs Contest! I'm very sorry but the closing date is 12a.m tonight. I actually thought it was 15th, and just found out it's today! Phew~Thank god it's still not too late! :p
