Last two movies for the year 2010

***

This Harry Potter movie is probably by far the best one out of all the others. There were good action scenes, funny scenes and a scary scene that managed to scare me and a bunch of girls sitting behind -_-'' It wasn't draggy and all the important parts were included (or maybe I just forgot the detailed story from the book XD). The only let down was that it's only Part 1, and thus had that left-there-hanging ending that I don't like.

Tangled is really nice! It was very light and funny and just plain nice *hehehe* and Pascal was SUPER CUTE of course =P I really don't have much bad comments about this movie. The only reason anyone would not like it is probably because they are not genuine Disney fans so whatever~

YouTube kept removing the videos due to copyright so this version doesn't have the dialogue =(

This is like my favorite scene from the movie. It was simply ♥MAGICAL♥ I couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole entire scene, like literally! IT WAS AMAZING! I totally loved the lights from the lanterns and the song and everything! Disney TOTALLY got it's magic back! The magic that makes Disney movies what they are =)

Malaysian Studies Field Trip

Please read this with much sarcasm. Thank you.
***

Thanks to the super smart government who wants to make all their citizens super smart, I am super fortunate to be forced to take Malaysian Studies this summer. Luck has it that I got a super enthusiastic lecturer for the course too, and he thought it would be super nice if we all went for a field trip to the Perdana Leadership Foundation at Putrajaya for one of the Perdana Discourse Series talk on "Higher Education in Malaysia: Increasing Access and Quality", which was organized by University Teknologi MARA.

In case you can't read the fine print in the picture, it says sponsored by Proton. No wonder we got nasi lemak + kuih for breakfast before the talk, a break with REALLY BAD coffee in between and a buffet style lunch with super sweet syrup bandung (one wonders why they keep showing those "eat less sugar or you'll die" ads on national TV -_-'') at the end. ATTENTION all tax payers!! This is where your money really goes! To benefit the country and its people with such educational and informative talk that would bring Malaysia one step further in terms of development.

Pradeesh's smart thinking got us awesome seats outside the hall where we were able to talk crap and do whatever we want XD See those sad people, especially those VIPs at the front row on the projector screen? They just woke up from a very nice nap =) You can literally see the changes in their sitting position throughout the talk *HAHAHA*

I'm not even exaggerating when I said the talk was super educational and informative.
It was SO GOOD it even made Tun Abdul Razak cry (look carefully at the picture) *LOL*

The coolest thing there that truly caught all our attention.

Since we were getting bored outside and the media people left,
we decided to go in for the panel and Q&A session to enjoy the nice seatings and air-con.

I made fun of a girl camwhoring while we were outside the hall, but I just couldn't resist myself because the chair was just SUPER AWESOME!!! It was like THE BEST chair I've ever sat on in these kind of venues. You can even lean back on it for god's sake. They don't even have these kind of chairs in the cinema man! I now know why the VIPs were enjoying their nap so much XD

Ram catching a nap on the comfy chair after our language lessons *hehe*
I only promised not to post the picture on Facebook =P
Vaange saapde bogalaam Mr. Chewie Chewie~

Our group was the only one awesome enough to get a picture taken with Tun Dr. Mahathir's wife.
We were all so awesome that none of us even knew her name *wakakaka*

As you can see I'm the only girl in my group full of nerdy boys *haha* but having you guys around sure made Malaysian Studies less torturing =) Let's hope our drama will be as awesome as our group so that we only need 10% on our finals to pass this damn unit with soaring colors >_<

HOW'S THIS FOR A REFLECTION?
instead of the shitty piece of crap I handed up.

p.s. I really hope I know what I'll be writing for the coming midterm test *finger cross*

The Climb, Up Broga Hill

Most of us went over to Weng Howe's house to sleepover on Friday night before the climb, just in case we couldn't wake up in time XD Though some of us end up not being able to sleep the whole night at all due to certain alien invasions and weird sounds -_-'' We left for Broga around 4.30a.m. the next morning in hope that we could catch the sunrise.

Arrived at the first peak, while it's still dark.
Too bad the pretty view behind could not be captured =(

This is either the second or third peak, I can't remember.
Since the Halloween-looking trees were in the way, we decided to climb up to the last peak.

Probably the best view we could get slightly below the last peak.
The last peak was already jammed packed when we got there =(

Emo-ing because the sunrise sucked >_<
We never have any fate with the sun, be it sunrise or sunset T_T
I was really disappointed actually *sigh*

Celebrated Michelle's birthday all the way up there ^_^
Kudos to old uncle Brian who carried the not-very-nice-cake (sorry Brandon =P) the whole way up *LOL*

*weeee~*
Love this jump shot with Pei Yee ^_^

The origination of the ass shots *LOL*

All of us can't wait to get down the hill for our brunch.

YAY JUNE!
You made it all the way up and down in one piece despite your fear of heights =D

We were the first customer at the restaurant XD

Top: 卤面 (loh mee) and really weird fried rice noodles
Didn't like the 卤面 and the rice noodles were TERRIBLE =S
Middle: 老鼠粉 (lou syu fan) and the restaurant's signature mee mamak
Their mee mamak was very nice but the 老鼠粉 was just so so.
Bottom: Vegetable and Sweet and Sour Pork
The Sweet and Sour Pork was like over-fried flour and vegetables were just vegetables.

Thank you driver Weng Howe and driver Brandon =)
And of course the photographer/porter Brian XD

Merry Christmas 2010

I have quite a few backlogs but I don't care because today is Christmas Eve. I'll just finish them off in the new year XD Guessed my resolution to stop cut down on procrastination didn't really happen =P I don't really celebrate Christmas but I like the merry feeling it always brings =) Everyone around becomes more joyful and happy, people make wishes, there are pretty decorations everywhere, and I start wishing for the impossible *haha*

Here's one of my favorite Christmas song from one of my favorite movie.

Dedicated to all of you =)

♥ MERRY CHRISTMAS ♥





All I want for Christmas is...
*shh*
...the impossible.

El Cerdo

El Cerdo, nose to tail eating at Werner's Audrey's Place =P

Went to El Cerdo at Changkat Bukit Bintang to celebrate Piggy Audrey's belated birthday with Jaime and Jeanette. The place is really nice with lots of pig decors. They even had little stools for us girls to put our handbags, which was really considerate =) The overall experience was really good except for the fact that the waiters/waitresses were a tad bit too attentive.

We took AGES to make up our mind on what to eat so the waiter suggested we ordered some drinks first *LOL* I ordered the Cooler Sunset Dream (right), a kind of cold tea that tasted really nice =) The one on the left is the orange juice that Jeanette got.

Complimentary bread with bacon bits and mushroom soup with even more bacon bits are served after you order your meal. The soup comes in a cup, so the portion is small. They also give you a teaspoon instead of a soup spoon for the soup which I don't really fancy because it's a bit too small.

We took on the waiter's suggestion and ordered this plate of homemade mini sausages with sauerkraut. All four sausages were different. There was this one that I particularly like, but I can't remember which one it was. Their sauerkraut is not very strong in taste, so I think most Malaysians can accept it, though I'd have prefer the taste to be a bit stronger.

We also ordered the crispy pork knuckle that comes with a salad, potato dumpling and sauerkraut. The pork knuckle was HUGE and was quite nice. Trying to get to all the "knuckly parts" was really challenging though *haha* There was the beer sauce and the apple sauce to go with the pork knuckle. For me, I think it goes better with the apple sauce. As for the potato dumpling, I don't really like the texture, and the taste was a bit bland.

Since we once again took AGES to decide on our dessert, the waiters decided to take out the cake that we brought. They put it on this tray sprinkled with powder sugar along with a pig figurine for the birthday girl and played "Happy Birthday" on the speakers with piggy oinks sound effects =P We were also given four mini glass of cocktail which tasted quite nice.

After A VERY LONG WHILE, we decided on the flourless chocolate cake with yogurt mousse and mixed nuts for dessert. I totally loved the yogurt mousse and mixed nuts! But the chocolate cake was a bit too sweet and rich for my liking, it gets jelak after a while.

All four of us shared the food and the bill came to be about RM50+ per person. I actually consider it to be rather pricey because I wasn't very full *hehe* Definitely not a place that can be visited often, but it's a nice place for special occasions =) If I ever go back, I'm going to get their roasted pork! Their plate smashing ritual looks so fun! XD

Kamunting Year End Trip

This is going to be a lazy post.
Don't really feel like blogging, but just want to blog this.


Went to Kamunting, Taiping to visit Madam Kang and her dogs for the second time 'round.
Didn't do much this time, but we got to dubbed a puppy 'Leo' =)

BBQ for dinner that night.
Chicken wings and Yi Zheng's roti bakar FTW!

Visited the Taiping Children's Home.
The kids are quite different from the ones at Angel's Home.

Dinner at Meridien Hotel.
And my first installment of fried tofu.

Dim Sum breakfast at Ipoh OPPOSITE Foh San (富山茶楼) XD
Their dim sum portion is small and taste so so only.

Regretted not buying the kaya puff at Sin Eng Heong (新荣香).
It was really nice =(

Funny Mountain Soya Bean (奇峰) is so funny
because they have business cards with GPS coordinates *LOL*

芽菜鸡 (bean sprouts chicken) at 老黄 (Lou Wong).
Taste okay lah like chicken and bean sprouts *haha*

Last food stop at Ipoh.
So we stuffed our self silly with pork satay and fruit rojak XD

Dinner together after we reached Sunway.
And my second installment of fried tofu.

My third installment of fried tofu at Shelaiton (喜来登)
as a token of forgiveness for forgetting me >_<

My fourth installment of fried tofu at F4 Steam Fish.
4 different fried tofus in like less than 2 weeks? *wakakaka*

I haven't had any fried tofu since then.
Who knows when I'll see you again fried tofu...
...till the next time my tofu~ XD


Not forgetting the three photographers whom I've stolen pictures from =P

Brian, Adrian and Alyssa =)
