废戏vs艺术片

越光宝盒
鬼都知道这是部很废的电影啦，我就是要看啊！难得我和某人那天都想要开心的笑一场就好了。更何况，我其实重点全在我求学时期的超级偶像朱茵，废也没关系，我只要看她！
确实，废到了极点，看到后来都不知道电影的point在哪里。无无聊聊的就结束了。
好笑的部分我现在最印象深刻的是开场的主演名单，如果你要去看就特别注意一下啦！还是有几场很好笑的啦，但是我实在想不起来。前面的部分比较好笑吧，后面就开始要打瞌睡了！最失望的就是海报放很大个、名字出在很前面的朱茵出来才不过几秒钟！！！我整个感觉被骗了~呜呜呜~！！！不过她的确那么老了还是一样那么漂亮！超爱她！
这部电影，适合喜欢看废戏的你。:p

心魔 At the End of Daybreak
感谢传盈的陪伴，不然我大概看不成这部最近很夯、得奖无数的本地电影了。
电影描述一对相依为命的母子，在儿子被告强奸后的改变。像这样的艺术片，看不看得懂是一回事，好不好看也是很难决定的。我看了绝对不知道结局是什么意思，但是我一直感觉惠英红饰演的妈妈的角色就是为了儿子的事变得神经有问题了，人家没要钱，她也一直说他们要钱。但我不知道我的猜测是否正确。所以......对啰，有点不清不楚，不过艺术片就是这样嘛！
我敢说惠英红的演技真的很赞，是个蛮安静的角色，一切都是以表情演出，她做得非常的好。徐天佑老实说也很不错，这点我有点吓到，不知道是不是何导演教导有方？最近在亚洲电影节得奖的黄明慧演得自然，但不会说特别好，不过我肯定她比十月围城的李宇春好！实在看不懂李宇春哪里来的演技，可以入围那么多奖项！==|||
我最开心的莫过于惊见Yasmin Ahmad的踪影！看到她出现我都快哭了！好想念她！！！而且她出现的那幕实在是很令人难忘！哈哈，你看过就知道为什么我这样说！In fact,我觉得这电影有少许Yasmin Ahmad的味道，后面徐天佑车祸那幕，多么的令我连想起到Sepet的Jason！
热爱电影的你，应该去捧场一下~！

Saturday out with Karen~! Wheee~~~!

*Since the bf already said my blog now has more of his pictures than myself, this blog post will have zero pics of him... :p

It's been a while I didn't go out with friends. Well not that I have a lot of friends, but really close ones, there are a few lor. Karen is definitely one of them. :) She is a good listener while I always tend to encourage her a lot whenever she has problems. So last Saturday we met up for At the end of Daybreak (review to follow soon) and a catch-up to get updates from each other.A picture with the Hao Jie Mei first... Cheese~~~

Lunch @ Fong Lye Restaurant, The GardensI think if you have never heard of this restaurant, you're a bit outdated. I've heard so much about this famous Taiwanese restaurant that as I arrived the crowd really just proved to me that IT IS FAMOUS FULL STOP. We had to take number to go into the restaurant, like at a Dim Sum restaurant in Hong Kong. ==|||
I really shouldn't be having Taiwanese food since I'm leaving for Taiwan in like less than two weeks time. But couldn't help, always been very curious about this restaurant, it's time to end the curiousness...
And so we quickly made our order...Jasmine Tea to start with, RM12 per pot.
My Fresh Tomato Fried Egg wtih Fish set meal, RM19.80
A closer look at the main dish.
Fried Squid with Pepper and Salt, RM9.30. Such an odd pricing.
Karen has the 3 Variety Supreme Diced Chicken set meal, but I only took pic of the main dish lar, cos others are the same. RM 19.80.
Well, I thought the meal is ok-ok only wor. I mean, yes not too bad, but not fantastic lor. I actually think the 3 Variety Supreme Diced Chicken at Dragon-i is better than the one here! I really don't see what other people see in this restaurant, really...

And then we went for the movie, and a walk around Mid Valley and The Gardens...

Coffee @ Austin Chase, The GardensThe guy over there, bottom right, his surname is Mo, name is del. Or surname Ke, name is Le Fe.
Karen needed her coffee of the day, so we went to this cafe, situated just right below Fong Lye Restaurant for coffee break.
The cafe itself is quite cool, and they have lots of magazines and box games for their costumers. There is even TV, playing live F1 race! The menu is quite interesting too. One of them that I can remember is Mocha Banana, although I didn't dare to try that, hehehe...You know I never scared of taking pics with Karen, cos our faces ah... Sama-sama bulat. :p
Thanks to Karen for that cute top too! Only she dares to buy a top with some dogs, cows, pigs, horses on it for me. :p
One of my 'date' of the day~!
It was raining heavily in Sepang~!
I had the Dark Mocha Frappocino and Karen had the Mocha Chip. I love the Mocha Chip! Next time that's the one I'm getting! One thing I like about them is that they don't put cream on top of their drinks! Love that, just because I hate cream on my drink. Don't you think so that the cream would ruin the original taste of the coffee???

And so we called it a day. Enjoyed every moment of chatting and shopping with Karen! :)
Anyone of you thinks you haven't seen me for a while? You can make a appointment with me now cos I need to apply leave for the bf in advanced! :p

Heavy & sumptious lunch @Dragon-i

The bf's parent were here in KL(again!) for a few days. And I had the luxury of having a very satisfying home-cooked dinner from his cute mum. The next day before they left for Taiping, we went for lunch together at Dragon-i, Sunway Pyramid. It wasn't the first time I dined in the very famous restaurant with the very famous Siu Long Bao, but it was the first time I had their dishes to eat with rice. Very unusually heavy lunch for me. :p
We didn't miss the Xiu Long Bao, and other dishes include:The very famous Xiu Long Bao, RM9.
Braised Beancurd. 四川马婆豆腐, RM16.
HK Kailan 香港介兰, RM18. Wah, I just realised these few sticks of vege cost so much! :S
Sauteed Beef Slices with Ginger and Spring Onion 葱爆牛肉,RM18.
Taiwanese Chicken 台湾三杯鸡, RM20.
That's 5 dishes for 4 persons! And two meat dishes! Phew~!
Anywayz, I really think all dishes are not too bad! My favourite one would be the Taiwanese Chicken 台湾三杯鸡, I think you must should go try that dish there.
Last but not least, a very special picture...Yeap! A pic of the bf's parent and us!
I was a worried gf at the beginning. I was so scared that his family wouldn't accept me for many reasons. And today I must say I am a very happy gf of WCL because his family has been treating me so nice and are accepting me the way I am. I AM VERY VERY HAPPY. :)

Have your favourite Kim Gary dishes at home!

I'm sure a lot of you are fans of Kim Gary, the very famous Hong Kong styled cafe. I myself is a fan of their baked rice with cheese芝士焗饭 and borsch soup罗宋汤, while the bf always go for only one dish, the not-so-famous Black Pepper Pork Chop Rice黑椒猪扒饭.
I actually tried making the baked rice with cheese at home, now I did another test with the Black Pepper Pork Chop Rice.

What you need:Few Pieces of pork chop of course, marinate them with soya sauce and pepper beforehand, some big onions, some chili, oil, black pepper sauce, salt and corn flour (forgot to put that for the picture). Oh yea, rice, of course! :)

Method:1. Pan fry the pork chop on a non-stick pan.
2. When they are cooked, remove from pan and cut them into stripes.3. And then, heat up some oil in a wok, simmer the onions until they are golden-ish.4. Add in some water, then the chili, then some black pepper sauce, portion according to your liking lar yea.
5. When the gravy is boiling, beat some corn flour with water and add them in to thicken the gravy.5. Finally, put the pork chop stripes into the gravy and let them boil.

And that's it, pretty easy actually!
Serve them with some rice, like this...Or, if you want it to be like the one at Kim Gary...I'm kinda in love with the 10 coloured healthy rice my mum got for me from Taiping. Very crunchy and yummy... Plus! Healthier! :D

I also boiled borsch soup! Well I tried to make this soup N years ago but failed. This time around I got it right and the bf even thought it was much better than the one at Kim Gary that he even said the Kim Gary's one is nothing compared to mine! :p

For the borsch soup, it's even easier!Simply boil some pork ribs, onion, cabbage, carrots, celery, tomato and tomato puree with some ground black pepper and salt and that's it! It's something like ABC soup you have at home, only this one, with tomato puree in it. So there we had our Sunday night dinner... Very satisfying and much cheaper than in Kim Gary, portion wise, cos we had whole loads of rice and a HUGE pot of soup! WCL is a happy man! :p

I just love cooking and trying out different and new dishes!
Hmmmm... What's next ler???

Oscar Fever Part 2

The Lovely Bones
A few people, including Lay Jing, told me it's quite a nice movie, and so we went for it.
The story itself is quite interesting, where the main character can always see what's happening on her family after her death. I think the part that I hated the most is towards the ending part. She suddenly went into other girl's body and we all thought she is going to reveal the guy as her murderer. In stead, she just wants a kiss from the guy she had a crush in school... WHAT THE *&^$(&%$!!!!!! Still, I love how the murderer died in the end, that was a really good one! :)
I wouldn't say it's fantastic lar, but not too bad I guess. Good cast too actually. Saoirse Ronan is young, pretty and talented! Apparently Stanley Tucci (acted as the murderer) has got quite a lot of nominations, including the Oscar for his performance in this movie! And the graphic in the 'in-the-between' world is really cool, you might want to pay attention to that.
By the way, this is a Peter Jackson's work, you're a fan of him?

The Informant!
This is based on a true story actually, but I bet Steven Soderbergh or perhaps the book decided to make it into a dark comedy kinda thing.
Well basically the story talks about this guy, Mark Whitacre, on how smart he is in cheating his way to get to the top of his company, something like that. It involves a lot of commercial criminal that you and I wouldn't understand so easily. But well the way the movie was delivered definitely makes you laugh like crazy... Mark=Matt Damon narrated the movie with a lots of random lines which is pretty random and funny to listen.
The story itself can be very boring, but the whole thing is pretty cool and funny. And Matt Damon, well what can I say, since Ocean's 11, I've already know how good he can be acting as a con man! :p
Not too bad lar this one...

The Blind Side
I'm about to tell you about one of the best movies I've ever watched, at least recently. I always love movies based on true story, especially encouraging ones. This one being one of them that i really enjoyed watching.
The movie is about Michael Oher, a huge black guy who under a white family's guardian, became a famous and successful American Football player. The story itself is actually quite expected one, yet, it is heart-warming and I don't know why, I just love it a lot!
Kudos to Sandra Bullock, who won an Oscar's Best Actress for this movie. She is just very natural in the movie, very very... And I love almost everyone in the movie! Quinton Aaron, who acted as Michael Oher, Tim McGraw, Jay Head, Lily Collins, Katy Bates(oh yea, I always love her), etc. A nice cast is always the reason why a movie is successful, agree?
You can skip the two movies above, but you will regret it if you miss this one! :p

This is gonna be a bit of everything...

Yes, I'm alive, and yes, I'm STILL jobless. I realized a lot of my friends are worry for me, but I'm perfectly fine. In fact, I haven't really have time think about 'me being jobless'. I've been pretty occupied with activities with the bf, with my freelance work and most of all, my Korean classes, the homework and the exam! I haven't even have time to plan my trip to Taiwan, which is happening in about less than 3 weeks time!
Of course, I'm very aware that I'm now jobless, but I don't want to make the wrong choice again you see, so I'm taking my time to think about my future, and to consider wisely which company I want to join and grow with, next. Well sure thing is, if you know of some vacancies at some trustable companies PLEASE DO LET ME KNOW! I thank you in advanced. :)

Dinner @ Little Penang, The Curve
I don't know where do you guys go with your bf most of the time. The problem with me and my dear is that we don't really have a private room or house to hang out, so we've been exploring new places to go. One of our favourite places is around Ikea, Ikano and The Curve area. I'll tell you why later, after this food review...It's been a while we didn't take picture like this!
Little Penang isn't new to me, I tried their Fried Kuey Teow before long time ago and I absolutely love it. But I didn't go back simply because I can't accept the fact that I have to pay so much for that plate of hawker food. But well, few days back the bf suggested so we went.I had the Assam Laksa.
The bf had the Fried Rice.
Kerabu Pucuk Paku... Yummy~!
I think the Laksa I had is pretty good, very thick, spicy and shower soup, lots of fish. Good one. Dear's fried rice? I forgot to ask him how was it, you gotta ask him. But the Kerabu Pucuk Paku is really nice too, despite the fact that I'm not such a fan of coconut...

We love hanging out at Ikea. You know why? Reason number 1) Dear is a fan of their Hot Dogs and they are bloody cheap! In fact, he was so sad when they disappeared for a few months because of some problems with the Hot Dogs supplier (yes he was so desperate that he went and asked at the counter...)! So glad they are back that I even had half of it as supper that day! :p 2) Well, I think a lot of you do that, make full use of the RM2 coffee or tea cup for free refill! That's what we always do, get a cup of coffee to share, and went on to refill until they are close for the day! Nice one, right? Kekekekeke...This is what you call a nice supper for the night!
So excited lar him to have finally had the Hot Dog!!!
So the next time you happened to drop by Ikea at night, buzz me! Cos I might be just right around the corner! :p

Dinner @ Blue Dragon Thai Restaurant, Cheras
On Thursday, I went to Cheras with my dear for a talk. So before that we went google searched to see if we can find any interesting place to have our dinner over there. Obviously, we are not familiar with Cheras that we had to follow the GPS all the way there! Blue Dragon at a glance...
Blue Dragon is located at Taman Cheras, same row as this very big restaurant called Junbo. The restaurant looks really nice actually, I love the whole design... It's just that it looks more like a Chinese restaurant than a Thai restaurant lar.Try to pay attention on the interior design, although I know it's hard not to notice the ghost-alike girl at the back... LOL!
Smile for my dear...
Here are what we had over there...Tom Yam Soup (small), RM 7.
Mushroom Roll, RM6.50.
Claypot Seafood Fried Rice, RM8.90.
Green Curry Chicken Noodle, RM8.50.
We both think the Claypot Seafood Fried Rice is the best of all we had ordered. I always like fried rice with the 'stuff' cooked separately, just like this one that we had here. It's just that well, that isn't really a Thai dish lar. The Green Curry Chicken Noodles is pretty yummy too~! The Tom Yam soup is pretty good too, although that isn't the best one I've ever had. The Mushroom roll is unique, taste more like a vegetarian dish.
It all came up to RM34, which is to me, quite reasonable. The food was not too bad and the environment is nice and cozy too! I shall visit it again whenever I go to Cheras.

Yeah Show 2010@ Wisma PGRM, Cheras
I missed Micheal Hui 许冠文 and 黄子华's 栋笃笑 in Genting, and I certainly know I missed something really BIG... Aih... If only they aren't that expensive lar~! :(
Anywayz, on Thursday I attended another kind of 栋笃笑, by 林以诺牧师, also all the way from Hong Kong. Well yea, it's part of the process of me learning more about Christianity that I agreed to go with my dear lar. He actually looks or perhaps acts a little like Michael Hui.
Well I must say, his isn't as funny as those I've mentioned above, simply because there are some boundaries lar. But it was in fact much better and funnier than I've expected! Had a good laugh really! It's just really something different, it's so cool to see preaching session can be so cool and funny! :D

Alright, that's it for now, time for some rest... *yawn~~~*
