最佳女主角--我的偶像胡杏儿！

好久没发粉丝疯了！这次我要很兴奋得宣布......
恭喜恭喜！恭喜我的偶像胡杏儿终于登上视后宝座！

99年还是中学生的我，追看香港小姐时就已经很喜欢胡杏儿了！其实同届的港姐们都很漂亮（当年的冠军可是郭羡妮咧），她能夺得季军还真的算是很幸运了！当年很可爱的胡杏儿。
还好他继续在娱乐圈发展，让我也有机会继续的支持她下去。《流金岁月》和《冲上云霄》是她早期的一些代表作，也是我很喜欢的两部电视剧， 虽然当时的她还是停留在饰演小女孩的角色。《野蛮奶奶》系列则是之后大家都很喜爱的电视剧，而且那时候我就开始很喜欢她和黄宗泽的配搭，一直都希望他们的绯闻是真的！《流金岁月》 《冲上云霄》
但无可否认，还是有几部电视剧是失败之作，包括当时很轰动的《肥田喜事》(个人认为完全是选角出了问题，尤其是男主角）。网友们对她的演出毫不留情的批评，虽然有些时候自己也默默的赞同，但心里还是很替她难过。
今年确实是Myolie风光的一年，演出的《鱼跃在花见》、《怒火街头》和《万凰之王》的角色都有一个共同点，就是令人又爱又很。难得的是，她都一一的诠释得淋漓尽致，演技大跃进！我就是那样，看到underdogs苦尽甘来，辛苦得来的好成绩我都会特别兴奋和感动。胡杏儿今年真的是潇洒封后！耶！
你可想像，当时坐在电视机前看直播的我是多么的紧张，尤其是之前宣布我的最爱电视女角色是她之后我整个都心寒了！当宣布最佳女主角是胡杏儿时我直接就尖叫了起来，要不是身边有人，我早就跳起来在家里绕圈了！真的超开心、超感动的！Myolie多年来的努力终于都是值得的了！两人第一次公开拖手仔、亲密合照，看得我都好感动、好开心！

然后...... 她在致词时的爱的宣言更是sweet到爆炸，而那句“我希望我地一路顶住大家”也成了近期最hot的金句！我也很开心，Myolie和Bosco经过那么多年，终于也可以光明正大了。而且根据近期的八卦新闻，他们明年可能会结婚了耶！好替他们开心哦！成了我desktop background picture的超漂亮照片。
喜气洋洋的贺词就待他们结婚时才说了吧！现在只希望他们能开开心心！:D

P/S: 《怒火街头》是我今年最爱的电视剧，而且是surprisingly超好看的剧！剧本写得好、角色鲜明、演员都演得很出色，包括“茄哩菲”哦！如果你还没看就一定要看啦，Astro有在播！！！郑嘉颖封视帝也是实至名归啦！！！

The Thai Pork Crackers!!!! Awwww~~~!!!

The Thai Pork Crackers was something I've tried and got addicted to before I went to Bangkok. My colleagues bought them back and I just totally fell in love with them. Hence, I bought about 5 to 6 packets of them home! Because the wordings on the packet says things only in Thai, I have no idea what is it made of exactly. Most of us believe it is actually pork skin. I don't know, if it is that means I've eaten loads of cholesterol into my body! Dang... :SMy love~ Thai Pork Crackers!!! Nom~ Nom~ Nom~ Nom~
Anywayz, apart from being a super yummy and addictive quick snack for movies or TV series, I found new ways to use them in my cooking!

1) Thai Pork Crackers with porridge!So with a mission to eat healthily, we had porridge for dinner one night. I made simple porridge with carrot and potato cubes with minced pork just like those you would feed a toddler. It has been one of my favourite light meal and that night we added in the pork crackers just for some additional crisp in the porridge! It tastes great! My only advice is, eat them when they are half soaked in the porridge so that you still get some crispiness out of the crackers!

2) Thai Pork Crackers with Chicken and Cucumber SaladThis isn't something new, I've did the same before and you can find the recipe here. Only this time, I broke the crackers into small pieces and sprinkle them over the salad! It was definitely a healthy salad with a (pork) twist! :)

3) Thai Pork Crackers with Tuna and Potato SaladI Baked the potato cubes with olive oil with the oven, boiled some eggs (then cut them into cubes) and french beans (supposed to be asparagus but couldn't find them in the supermarket the other day) and mix them all with tuna in olive oil, chopped tomatoes, English parsley and black pepper to make this another random salad. To top it up, some Thai Pork Crackers! Oooh so nice!

Now the Thai people might wanna thank me for promoting their snack so much! :p

Bangkok, the shopping paradise

Sorry for the delay guys! I was thinking of giving up blogging about this Bangkok trip (which happened almost 2 months ago) but I figured it will be a waste not to talk about the wonderful shopping trip!
Anywayz, I'll just make it more to a photo blog...The sky in Bangkok? Probably was in an artsy mood...
So, I went to Bangkok for the first time with a bunch of colleagues because it was a staff trip. It was a very short one, 3 days 2 nights and that's it. And... That was the only time I followed a tour guided trip since erm... Super many years ago when I was probably just a kid. Our tour guide Joey (his Thai name iswrqr#@%) is a very funny Thai guy! That's why he deserves a mention here! :)
Turned out, the only place we girls followed the tour itinerary (except for the restaurants lar) was the first place we went as we landed in Bangkok, the four-face buddha. Nothing fantastic to us. So we snapped some pics before going off to have our late lunch at McD next door...So here's the famous four-face buddha...
In general, I find Bangkok as a city, probably looks very much like some parts of KL. In many ways, it doesn't look as developed as KL, yet there are many areas that we can learn from them too. I especially find the Thais very friendly. Shopping with the girls (and ladies) was FUN FUN FUN!!!
I have to admit, their temples (even though I only went to one because I'm not interested with temples) and buildings like Baiyoke Sky failed to impress me. I don't fancy their trains too because of their stupid money-changer system. And Tuk Tuk drivers are definitely cheaters but yea not bad if you are looking for an adventurous ride or a real Bangkok experience.Pink taxis! How cute!
Aaaahhhh... Finally we got to sit down for a bit! Phew~!
Took a picture with the Tuk Tuk before the very adventurous ride!

So what did I truly enjoy in Bangkok? No... I didn't enjoy the company's lame game after our seafood dinner...
And not the fact that I found my colleague wearing the same patterned top! LOL!

Firstly, massage!Evelyn and me enjoying our massage! And the lady commented that we are 'soi' (pretty)! Yahoo~~!!!
Well obviously they are not fantastic, but not too bad. Not especially with that crazily cheap price! I paid 380 Baht (RM38) for a 2-hour full body massage! So yea, I guess that explains why we actually went for massage two nights in a row there. It feels extremely good especially after a whole long day of walking!

Of course what I enjoyed the most was shopping!!! Exhausted, but very happy shoppers! :p
I've never been to anywhere in Thailand before, so I was really innocent to think that the money I brought was enough! I didn't know that the stuff there can be so dirt cheap! Seriously! I should have brought more money!!!
My favourite must be Platinum Wholesale Mall in which we spent half-a-day just to finish one floor and didn't even have time to proceed to the next floor! Aaaarrrrgggghhh... So Pek Chek! So yea I guess even if I had the money, I wouldn't have enough time to shop too!The cute shoes I bought!!!
The few pieces of clothes and swimsuit I bought and am loving them too!
Belts, earings, pictures, notebooks...
Souvenir for colleagues from the famous Naraya.
FOOD, FOOD and more FOOD!!!
In the end, I actually bought more food than clothes and I wasn't really happy about that. Like my colleague Sze Ling said, it doesn't feel right, just doesn't feel like we are done! Enough said lar, the next time I go to Bangkok, I will make sure I have enough money and time to shop!!!At the airport we were already asking each other when is our next Bangkok trip!
I really enjoyed the shopping and the food in Bangkok and that three days really wasn't enough for me to explore all the shopping and all the food Bangkok can offer! Hence, next trip to Bangkok, I wanna go all out to eat and to shop!
Wanna join???

Plan B inspried Sauteed Mushrooms

Remember how we enjoyed our breakfast at Plan B in Bangsar? I think I've recently grown into something like my grandmother, whenever I tried something that tastes really simple to make, I'll start talking about how easy this can be made at home.
And that is exactly what I did to try making the very yummy sauteed mushrooms that comes with the breaky! Our breaky at Plan B with the Sauteed Mushrooms that I was so tempted to order extra.

So here's what you need...Fresh mushrooms cut into half or slices, cherry tomatoes halved, huge amount of finely chopped garlic and English Parsley.

And here's how you make this yummy and simple dish...
1) Heat up a frying pan or wok with some olive oil.
2) Dump the garlic in and simmer till they turn a little brownish.3) Dump the mushrooms in now and stir well.4) Now dump the tomatoes and parsley in and stir well. Add salt and black pepper to taste.5) Until you see the parsley are spread well in the entire dish, you are done!

You can serve them as a side dish or you can go ahead to have it as a main dish just like us! Yea, that explains why we cooked such a big portion of it right? It was another successful try for me even though I think we (actually I think it was Deardo... :p) sort of overcooked the tomatoes a bit. But taste wise it was all perfect and we definitely enjoyed it as a light dinner dish!
Now you can go ahead and try this at home too! :)

Horrible Bosses is horribly hilarious!

Horrible Bosses is definitely one of the best comedies I've watched in the past one or two years. Of course, providing you watch it outside Malaysian cinema. And guess what, it's so funny that I've watched it 1 and a half time (didn't get to finish it the second time, that's why)!
I guess you roughly know how's the plot like only by seeing the title of the movie. Basically the three mains hate their bosses and started to plan to kill their bosses.
Basically I think the movie owes its success to two factors: 1) Bloody good and funny cast, almost everyone of them are so unforgettable! 2) Freaking funny script! Which means, you have to turn on your volume very loud to make sure you don't miss whatever they say!
I like Jason Bateman's interpretation of Nick, very angry yet chicken enough to not fight back. Jason Sudeikis as Kurt is probably the most not-so-outstanding character yet you won't say you hate him. Charlie Day as Dale is probably the most interesting and funniest character! And man I'm sure we all like his voice that makes his character funnier! And how can we forget the three horrible bosses??? Kevin Spacey was 100% awesome acting as the very bossy boss! You can really feel like you hate him so much you know! Jennifer Aniston who acted as the very 'sexually aggressive' boss was bloody natural and funny! And finally Colin Farrell gave up his sexiness and good look to play the ugly boss was really good too!
I'd say it is definitely a must watch if you enjoy comedy!

It's been two years! :)

This Deepavali we celebrated our second year together.It was a rather simple celebration with a dinner at Meatworks Restaurant & Deli at Solaris, nothing fancy but I guess it was good enough lar since we always have nice food even when we aren't celebrating anything. :pI love the mushroom soup! RM15.
Deardo's Sirlion was a little over-cooked. RM50.
That's my Lamb Shank. RM65.
1/2 Roast Chicken, RM30.
My Lamb Shank was standing tall!
Ha, I know, right? we had a soup and three main courses!!! It was Deardo lar, his Sirlion wasn't enough for him so topped it up lor...Together with a pot of green tea, taxes and service charge, the dinner cost us RM193.50. Not too bad a price but taste wise, not so impressive I must say. And I hate the fact that all their sides are the same for every single dish! We prefer the Lamb shank and chicken over the steak. To me, the chicken marinate which is sweet, sour a little spicy makes the roast chicken really tasty! Obviously that was my favourite of all dishes. Oh! Love their mushroom soup too! It's really 'kao' and tastes really fresh!

So... It has been two years! How fast time past? My anniversary gift for Deardo was this 'Everyday I'm Shuffling' t-shirt I bought online and shipped all the way down from the US. Bloody expensive since I bought it from the official LMFAO Party Rock online shop but we both love it so much!
To me, two years is not too long but hey we already feel like we've been together for so long. Seeing each other everyday means we already act like an old married couple. Sometimes I wish the relationship can be more exciting and I always hope Deardo can be more romantic and give me surprises like what you see in the drama series. But then come to think of it, he takes care of me whenever needed in daily life, whenever I'm sick... What else can I ask for? I think it was two days after that we gave ourselves a break having supper, beer and cocktail at Chili's KLCC.
What we had that night at 11pm!
I can't even remember when was the last time we really went out for supper...
Don't ask me about marriage. There are still some complicated issues to be solved before we can go to that level of life. I am anywayz, not such of a fan of organising and going crazy over a wedding and judging from our lifestyle now, I don't think a marriage will make such a difference to us. It will, perhaps be a marriage just so that our parents will be happy. And plus! Like I always tell Deardo, you better think of an unforgettable proposal or I could just say no to you if you give me a non-romantic proposal! :p
