Happy 'Ah Boo' Day~!

In conjunction with Mother's Day, I'm happily in Taiping! Yay~! But... I'm going back to KL again tomorrow lar! So sad... Ok lar, I can't be eating about 20 hours per day for too long you know, I will become a true fatty bom-bom! :S
So, in conjunction with Mother's Day, I gave my mom, my dad, my two sisters and my Ah Ma(dad's side) a treat. I think I should say it's also for Father's Day lar cos I'm not coming back for that next month. We had our dinner at Da Hua Restaurant located in Kampung Jambu, a restaurant I fell in love with since my last trip home for Cheng Beng. I still remember we ordered two plates of their La-La just because it was too good! Yum~!My cute Ah Ma who put her hand on my shoulder for the pic... So friend ler!
Oh no~ Mummy is falling asleep AGAIN!!!
The restaurant is always fully-booked, especially during special festivals, so we made a reservation earlier and ordered all the dishes beforehand. So here's the menu of the night..."Go Hok"--The Five Happiness.
Oooh~The Mixed Vege with Scallops!
The Fried Shark...
The Fried Sang Mee... With duck eggs!
Nai Yao Har... Definitely Ducum's favourite dish.
The major thing! The Kam Heong La-La!
To me, the La-La was still really good. They are all big and fresh, just like the last time I came. The Fried Shark was not too bad, but nothing beats my Ah Ma's(mum's side) one. I reckon the curry fish I had the last time was better. The scallops was pretty fresh too! Anywayz, I strongly recommend you guys to try the La-La there! Simply too delicious to ressist!
It all came to a total of RM155, I still think that is cheap for a meal with stuff like prawns, sharks and scallop! Eating in Taiping is just DAMN CHEAP!!!

Also in conjunction with the mummy day, I, or we (Ducum and I) would like to confess...
We always talk about the crazy stuff we did when we were kids, and most of them involve cheating our dear, cute and blur blur mum.
You see last time when we were sleeping in one room, we always have this 'night activity' in our room. Nah... We didn't watch porn or do any nasty thing lar, don't think too much. One of them was to 'korek' money out from our piggy banks. Mine was a shape of a big slice of watermelon while Ducum's was a big round honeydew. We would lie on our bed holding the piggy bank with the little slot facing down to us, then with our metal ruler, we would get coins out very easily. And then... Yay~! Extra pocket money for tomorrow! Can buy snacks or the cup noodles in school! My mum would sometimes knock on the door and we would quickly keep the piggy banks under our blanket before slowly got up and opened the door for her... The second thing was, eating Mee-in-my-Mug! You know Maggi has this tiny packets of noodles where all you need to do is put them into a mug, add hot water and you're done? My mum used to buy that a lot those days and we always sneaked out of the room late at night to make that as our supper. We leave no proof, since we always hide the wrappers underneath all the rubbish in the rubbish bin! The best part was when we were happily having our supper in the room, mum would come AGAIN!!! I know, she just love to check us out so much those days! Guess what? We would keep the mugs in one of our empty drawers! Then when she left the room, we of course continue eating! Hahahaha~!Ducum showing-off the noodles we use to have in our room...secretly! Shhhhh...
I don't know, but we told her about that when we were all grown up, she always say:"You think I don't know ar?"... But I really think she doesn't know at all... Judging by the 'blur-ness' she has.
Oh yes, my mum is always so blur it makes her so cute! Hahaha... Read Vivian's blog, my mum just went through one of her funniest moment of her life last week. For those who don't understand Chinese, she actually went to a Kopitiam with Vivian last week and went to the toilet there. After a while, she called Vivian on her mobile, asking her to push the toilet door for her because she couldn't open the door! So Vivian went, and she couldn't find anybody in the toilet (there is only a Ladies and a Gents toilet there). Then my mum called another few more times kinda losing patience asking why Vivian isn't there yet... And then suddenly Vivian saw my mum walking out from the Gents... Hahahahahah~ The thing was, my mum doesn't even know! She was still questioning Vivian for the delay when she came out!!! See, I told ya... She is so blur...So... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MRS. TAN! :)
Hehehe... My cute mum...

Bonus...
My very handsome Xiao Ma of BBT is always so cute whenever he is with his black-framed glasses...And then, the fan got a pair of them too~!Nice or not???

Nothing to shout about...

I actually think there are so little movies that interest me lately. It's like every Tuesday and Wednesday I had to skip movies and do other stuff. Sigh... And! The French Film Festival! Bloody hell, the tickets are now no longer RM5!!! Aaaarrrhhh...
Anywayz, here are three movies I've watched over the past few weeks. First one was a DVD I bought quite a while ago, the second one was because Ducum said it was bloody good while the third one was because we have no choice, but turned out to be better than expected.

亲密 Claustrophobia
单纯因为欣赏岸西，就好奇的去看看。
整部电影80%~90%吧，都在那辆车里.......看着那几个人聊天，说着他们的故事。当然，男女主角就这样有了外遇，但就是整天在车子里说话，根本什么“亲密”动作都没有！哈，你说我肤浅也好，我看到电影名称还真的以为有“那种”场面，结果是失望的.......哈哈哈哈~！最后那一幕也是两个人在车内，走着走着就结束了！就这样哦？没有了？我整个傻眼~！
好啦好啦，我看是我思想单纯，没有艺术细胞才看不懂啦~！
不过我很期待岸西的下一个作品咧，因为有张学友和汤唯！！！期待！期待！！！

Coming Soon
I'm soooooo NOT a horror movie fan. But when someone told me about a bloody good one, I would watch it. It's just like The Shutter and this one, which is also made by the same director.
Okay, I must say one or two parts of the movie is bloody scary! It's like the ghost scares you continuously in about 1 minute time! It was enough to make me scream for a little while in the cinema... ==||| I can't tell you much also because I shut my eyes majority of the time every time I watch scarry movies.
Well, I guess it was pretty not bad for a ghost movie, but to me, it doesn't beat The Shutter.

The Sniper 神枪手
好的，听到了各方各位的批评之后，本来完全不想去看这部电影的。结果因为I Rene还有免费戏票，就“勉强”的去看了！结果！我可以很确定那些极力批评这部电影的人是衝着陈冠希而来的！你们是针对Edison吧？不是针对神枪手这部电影！
老实说，我们四个人一起去看，大家都觉得这电影很不错呀！完全出乎意料耶！
其实，看到是林超贤的电影，大概就没有什么怀疑了吧？不过说真的，电影的故事一点也不好，就很普通，普通到了极点的那种。角色也没有说非常的特别，除了黄晓明的角色以外，其他的角色都太普通了，也没有什么发挥空间。有的可能就让我们这群女观众大饱眼福啰！因为他们都有事没事就穿这背心扮有型，真没办法！Edison演技还ok啦，毕竟角色很适合他。黄晓明得到了一个很不错的角色，不过个人认为还不是很到位，没发挥到，好可惜！可能跟我们看的是他配了广东话的音的关系。其他的不能说不好，只是角色没有很突出。
重点还是动作！这才是我们觉得很不错的地方！当然，它的动作不是很“动作”的，只是开枪的戏码，但很多都令人很佩服！无时无刻都让人觉得很紧张，整部电影都让我紧张得一直用手掩着嘴巴！超刺激的！
所以，真的没有想象中的那么烂啦！还是可以去看看的~！

Shirlexia, the food lover, food review writer and cook!

Ok guys, first of all, if you are staying or working in Damansara or Kepong, you might get a free copy of The Focus, a newly published dining guide. Hey, hey, I'm the writer cum editor for the little magazine! So do support the magazine and you are welcome to give me some comments too! The restaurants actually paid to be advertised lar, but I still have to write them in a way that would attracts the reader too! I think my first time is just so-so, I will do better for the next issue in August! :)

Of course, a special thanks to Yee Chuan who gave me the chance to do something I really love! :)The Focus is here! Check it out!
So now I'm not only a food lover, I'm also a food review writer, unofficially and officially. Plus, I'm also a cook, unprofessionally! Hehe...
After a long long break, I returned to the kitchen and cooked a proper meal tonight for Ducum, Sok and I Rene. It's Wui Fan or Mui Fan (燴饭). It's like the Cantonese Fried, Wat Dan Ho, just that this is serve with rice... Basically because I'm lazy to fry the noodles lar! :p
What you need?
Basically, oil, salt, corn flour, chopped garlic, chicken thigh cut into pieces (marinated with soya sauce and pepper beforehand, add in some corn flour to make the chicken tender), fresh prawns, vegetables-choy sum, two eggs, beaten.
This time around I added some sotong balls, button mushrooms and brocoli, just because I had to clear them off from the pantry and fridge.Ta da~ The very simple ingredients!
Oh, of course, cook some rice lar!
Start cooking the gravy by heating up the oil, fry the garlic, then the chicken, prawns, mushrooms, sotong balls and brocoli until they are all cooked. Add in water as much as you think it's enough. Let it boil. As it boil, add in the choy sum and salt to taste, stir. Wow~ Seriously looking very yummy already...
Next two steps are very important. Stir the corn flour with some water (note: it has to be cold tap water, otherwise it won't work) and pour slowly onto the wok. As you pour, stir. Make sure you stir as soon as you pour the corn flour in, otherwise it will results to some cubes of corn flour in your dish! Do this until the gravy is thicken. Finally, add in the beat eggs and stir! And you're done!
With the corn flour and eggs in, you can be ready to eat now!
To serve, put some rice on your plate, then pour the gravy over the rice! You can do the same with some fried Kuey Tiao, Yee Mee or any noodles you like. We had the healthy five-coloured rice lar! :)
And a look at the very important gravy.
And now you are all ready to have the Hui Fan a.k.a Mui Fan! Itata kimasu!
Yum~ yum~! I used to cook this a lot in Perth, and my housemates from different countries love it! I learnt this from my mum back home, so credit should goes to my lovely mum! :)
And that's us enjoying our dinner under the super duper hot weather! Sweat~Sweat~Sweat~!
To all my friends out there! Please make sure you stay healthy! Drink more water, herbal tea or vitamins. Stay away from the Swine Flu!!! Take good care of yourself! We are going out to get some Chinese Herbal Tea now, see ya~!

Brunch @ Yut Kee... Yum~!

I just broke my personal record of the least blog posts in a month! Phew~! Only EIGHT blog post! I mean LAPAN! BA! BAT! HACHI!
Aiya, faham-faham lar... I'm not a famous blogger whom trips to anywhere in the world are sponsored by some company. Neither am I like my dear friends, who have such dramatic life, break-ups, new crush or madly in love... :p Aaaarrrhhhh... See, my life is so dull!
Ok lah, two days ago I actually went out with the Cincai Group to Sky Bar. But our dear photographer didn't bring his camera. So we had to take pictures with mobile phones with the minimal light we had. So here's quite a nice one taken by Audrey...Not too bad a night at Sky Bar, was like a little ex-Hua Lian(s) reunion...
Anywayz... Today, or to be exact, yesterday, I brought Ducum and Sok (hahahaha... Sok!) to Yut Kee at Jalan Dang Wangi, my second visit to the kopitiam, their first. It was already full with lots of people waiting for tables when we arrived (yea, after getting lost for about 20 minutes), so we ended up with a table outside, with a drunken Indian man who were basically sleeping like 99% of the time we were there... ==||| Here we are... The very famous Yut Kee...The uncle whom we shared a table with...
Ducum and Sok dared themselves to take a picture with him... From that angle, everyone in the kopitiam actually saw them doing that!
I think we just want him to quit drinking and have some good food! :)
Still sleeping with saliva coming out from his mouth... Haha...
We ordered quite a lot of food, as usual. My Hai Lam Fried Mee wasn't really good lor, I reckon the Lam Mee I had last time was better, way better. Ducum had the chicken chop, and oh yeah~ the gravy was oooooohhh~so~good! Sok had a Char Siew Rice, which she said the rice was pretty good. They also love the Roti Babi, Roti Bakar and the Kaya Roll! Ah~ The Kaya Roll is unforgettable! The homemade Kaya is like really thick, not the smooth ones, I really love that kinda Kaya! I actually Ta Pao some home too! :)Roti Bakar with the MAJOR thing... The Kaya!
Everybody loves the Roti Babi... Aih... Nobody really cares about the Swine Flu...
My first Kaya Roll experience... Awesome!
Yum~Chicken Chop with the very homey gravy!
The so-so-only Fried Hai Lam Mee.
The Char Siew Rice wasn't too bad I guess...
Nah... Give you the menu so that you can decide what you wanna try!
After that, can't help... We took some silly pictures at the very old school-looking kopitiam!
So the happy with my Kaya Roll takeaway~! LOL!
No... No... We didn't go to Chow Kit Road!
Trying to be funny? Cute? Nerdy?
Now this one I know... Pretending to look like we are waiting for the bf who is already late for one hour!!!
Ok, this one quite normal I cannot think of an interesting caption.
Urm... Very Hot?Hey, I was imitating somebody, guess who???
Thank god I was standing at the back! I don't have nice teeth! See... I think I'm the most creative one among them, okay?
This one, I look like I was licking some nasty thing and Ducum and Sok are ignoring me...
Haiyo~ I look like I was humping my bag! Euw~ My blog is definitely 18SX! :S
Sexy back~! Time to go home~!
Coming home with sun-burn and now... At about midnight, I'm hungry...

帅马update......

可爱死了，是不是？？？

没有啦，最近总是有朋友有意无意的提起小马，他们都是通过我的blog认识马儿的。然后我就发现自己很久没写一些关于小马的东西了，所以就来发了这些在节目里曝光的马儿睡相啦！超可爱、超帅的！！！再加一点点sexy！嘻嘻！:p

不过话说，他们模范7棒一直在预告他们的首张专辑要推出了！其实我比起期待，忐忑的心情比较多。我一直都不希望马儿是给人家“偶像团体的一员”的感觉，更何况他唱歌真的有待进步......很怕出来的成绩不好、被批评、被拿去跟Lollipop比较！真的很担心！

Anywayz，既然他们都已经准备好了，唯有祝福他们啦~！

希望马马和模范7棒专辑大大大大大大大卖！大红大紫！！！

P/S:Air Asia开始飞到台湾了！耶！不过今年我应该不行了，明年吧，小马&马迷们，等我！:)

Hello? True friend???

About two weeks ago, an old schoolmate, we call her P, called me and I was really shocked she has my number. Apparently she got it from one of our old schoolmates. But anywayz, I was quite glad to hear from her. So without any hesitation, I agreed to meet up few days later at the Starbucks near my place.
It was quite a short catch-up. That night, she SMS-ed me a very sweet text message I really thought she may, you know, turn into lesbian...
Few days later, she invited me to a BBQ party at her friend's house. I really didn't want to go since I don't know her friends, but then I said 'yes' because I think it's just time to know new friends. Later I found out Ducum's Vietnamese friend, Karyn was going to cook some Viet food for us the same night! So I told P I will have to stay home for that, but she said she already paid for the BBQ food (at this point only I realized it was not a party hosted by her friend, but its the kinda party everyone needs to pay) and that it's just for 'relaxing'. Aih... So I went. Her friends stay at this really classy place in Bangsar. The food was really lame and quite common, nothing special. There isn't even any salad or fried bihoon like you normally get. Nevertheless, I enjoyed chatting with her bunch of friends. One of them was really really funny. She made me launged till I have this jaw pain after the party.
P sent me home and as we arrived at home, she suddenly put out his hands and said:"Ok, BBQ, RM22!" I didn't show it to her but I was bloody mad at the moment. She forced me to go one ler! And I thought she was paying for mine!!! For the shitty stuff I got, I need to pay a bloody 22 bucks!!! WTF??? Just for your info, I have a trip in plan and I'm seriously saving up for that. Worst, when I got into the house, Ducum told me how fantastic Karyn's cooking was, and I didn't get to eat them!!! And they are for free!!! S7%43#@$*()%$@... Seriously I really want to kill myself! P also said we shall meet up again this week... Shit, you just tricked me into paying for some stupid BBQ! Are you paying for my next meal with you or what???
That mid night, I was chatting with N when I told her about my bad exprience at the BBQ. She then asked me if P told me about the direct-selling thing she is doing? Did she introduce me to some of her friends with the names of blah blah blah blah... By now, all answers are there! P is not lesbian, neither is she in love with me... SHE IS TRYING TO DRAG ME INTO HER DIRECT SELLING BUSINESS!!!
Now, I AM VERY VERY MAD!!! First thing first, I hate friends like this. For a long time you didn't call, then out of nowhere you got in touch with me, just for this??? Worst, you didn't tell me straight that you want to introduce me into doing direct-selling, and asked me out a few times and yet still haven't tell me the truth! I disrespect direct-seller like this!!! Third, as someone who wanted to drag me into doing business with you, you should pay for my drink at Starbucks and the stupid BBQ you forced me to go!!! WTF? Where got people do business like that one???
But in the end, I figured, the most important thing is, the friendship. I really cannot accept friend like this. I mean, you see Brian is doing direct-selling, but when he wanted to introduce me into it he told me straight, invited me to a dinner meal which he paid part of it (because it was some high-class, expensive stuff lar). You see what I mean? To me, friends are not for you to cheat, not for you to trick, and certainly not for you to call-up after years when you wanna drag her into direct-selling!

To P, don't call me or SMS to ask me out anymore, I'm simply not replying your call or SMS anymore. I know your trick now. Just give up pal, I'm NOT INTERESTED, not especially with the way you are approaching me... I'm sorry. If you want a casual meet-up that is cool. :)
