Tiny Chef
2011-01-18 21:24:00
Besides Angry Birds, I play Tiny Chef on the iPod Touch too!I have been playing this restaurant management game over the past few weeks. I design my own restaurant, hire staffs to carry the workload, prepare delicious food, serve them to my customers and help my waiters by cleaning tables.The graphics are great and cute. Check out my restaurant in Tiny Chef! Customers bustle around my restaurant, finding their seats, eating their food, and tipping.Oh and if I leave that pot of food cooking on the stove too long, it will spoil. So, excuse me, I have to get back to my restaurant now! What games do you play on your iPod Touch or iPhone?First Commenter?~*~?~*~?

One in a Million
2011-01-17 20:40:00
A friend of mine has a crush on a girl but the girl has repeatedly turned him down. Even so, he does not give up too easily. This reminds me of Ne-Yo in a music video for his single "One in a Million"!Oh, except for one thing. My friend did not bust some moves to get attention from the girl. Anyway, this song is very catchy and filled with heart-felt lyrics that should make any woman swoon.Check out how Ne-Yo finally gets attention from the girl only before she turns on her heels as three hot females join him!Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us.

Wet Day
2011-01-14 18:06:00
What a wet cheerless day!Gloomy, wet, cloudy weather makes me lazy and want to stay in bed all day! Don't get me wrong though, I still prefer rainy days over the super hot weather over here. I love cold, rainy weather. It makes me feel comfortable too and it goes well with a cup of hot coffee. However, after a few days of rain, I'm begging for sunshine. I think the gloomy weather makes me appreciate the sunshine more. As I'm writing this, it's raining cats and dogs outside."Weather is a great metaphor for life - sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, and there's nothing much you can do about it but carry an umbrella."Anyway, I can't wait for the weekend to begin! I'm so excited. I don't care about rain, storm or whatever. I want to go shopping as soon as possible so I could buy many bright pieces or articles of clothing for this coming Chinese New Year. This would definitely perk up my blah mood! First Commenter?~*~?~*~?

Funfair @ Port Dickson
2011-01-12 09:39:00
During our recent trip to Port Dickson, we saw there was a funfair going on. We were so excited and decided to check it out!#1The funfair was really small and there were no food stalls. #2#3#4#5#6#7#8#9 Ghost House.I wanted to "torture" myself by walking through the Ghost House. But Ralph said to me, "The 'ghosts' would molest you." Then, our friend, Jimmy said, "Okay, let's ride the Top Gun!"#10 Top Gun!? He was kind of forcing me to join him, but I didn't have loads of guts to go onto that ride, as I was terrified of vomiting.#11 Jimmy went on the Top Gun for a scary ride, alone! #12#13#14And, the rest of us just couldn't stop laughing when he SCREAMED at the top of his lungs.I know exactly what to expect and feel as I used to make it a point to go on the Corkscrew ride in Genting Theme Park, which is the only double-loop roller coaster in Malaysia that speeds and spins up to a height of 90 feet above the ground!Yes, I'm a wuss on roller coasters now.

Extra Hot Peri-Peri Chicken

@ Nando's!Do you go to Nando's? Of course you do.Despite its hoo-ha about happy staff and customer service, Nando's Peri-Peri sauce is its basic selling point. It is rumored to have an enormously positive effect on the libido, which also explains why Nando's lovers always want more!Choose your heat!Lemon & Herb - For the cool lover.Mild - For those who like it a little hotter.Hot - For the adventurous heat seeker.Extra Hot - For a taste that will blow your mind.Obviously, I always have Mild Peri-Peri; even the Mild has quite a kick to it.However, this time round, I chose EXTRA HOT Peri-Peri!1/2 Chicken with Peri-Peri chips and coleslaw on the side (RM23.90). Oh my, *screaming for cold water* it certainly has that extra oomph!!! It left me with that pleasant, numb sensation around my lips, but it would not have had my eyes streaming and the snot bubbling out of my nose in a molten green frenzy. Bottomless Ice Lemon Tea (RM5.90). *gulp*So, what's your Peri-Peri flavor that f...

Ralph is a big fan of rock bands Search and Wings, two powerhouse groups from Malaysia who gained fame in the 80s and 90s era. He insisted to see the rock legends live in action and the next thing I knew, we were at the biggest rock concert of the year, on a Christmas night. Well, the concert was superb!However, a tightly packed crowd of people surrounded me and it was VERY DIFFICULT to get any decent pictures ? just look!#2#3There were like thousands of die-hard fans in front of me blocking my view. I could only see the person's hair in front of me, the person's armpit (he held his arms up in the air) next to me and Ralph was standing behind me. They moved right, I moved left and vice versa.#4 That was the orange-haired dude who stood right in front of me.It got so crowded that I wa...

Thank you, everyone, for the Christmas wishes and I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!I've had a hectic week, filled with lots of delicious food and I have so many pictures to share. However, I have diarrhea and a bloated stomach sticks out a mile on me right now! I overindulged at Christmas Eve's dinner and ended up I have a Santa Claus-like belly. Seriously, FML! We eat ourselves silly and try, of course, to remember the true meaning of Christmas and celebrate the birth of Jesus.Anyway, here's one of my favorite pieces of Christmas classic masterpiece, which started out as poem for peace. This song carried a beautiful message close to people in all walks of life and the message of peace is as desperately needed today as it was then.Let us hope and pray that, when it is sung in churches worldwide during the Christmas season, this song of peace will remind us that ?The Child, The Child sleeping in the night? came to ?bring us goodness and light.?Come join Music Monday and...

It's Christmas Eve!

Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall and say your prayers, 'cause you think Santa Claus comes tonight? I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would come into my neighborhood after dark. The presents in my stocking and under our Christmas tree were always written in mom's handwriting. Also, that big fat dressed up red guy had to come down the chimney, and we didn't have one. I love Christmas and everything that goes with it. It is the time of giving and sharing. It is the time of loving and forgiving, to feel the joy and happiness of being loved & to be loved.Merry Christmas Eve everyone, have a good one before the big day and may this Christmas be a joyous one as you ever had!

#1 Jin Xuan Hong Kong Restaurant @ Damansara Jaya.We've been here before a few times, but the first time for dinner, at 10pm.(Their business hours: 7.00am ? 11.30pm)#2Well, I don't remember all the names of the dim sum that we had, but they were all so tasty. They arrived at the table, piping hot, as soon as the kitchen prepared them.#3Drinking tea is traditional when having dim sum and we usually ask for a pot of jasmine tea. We know very little about the types of Chinese tea, except that we drink tea with dim sum because it supposedly helps with the digestion of oily foods. #4#5#6#7#8 I'm a big fan of the salted egg-yolk custard buns, so this is a must-order dish for me if I go for dim sum at this restaurant.#9 To please a craving for something insanely rich, nothing beats a steaming bun filled with soft and creamy egg-yolk custard.
