shopaholics bash

seems like the whole town is on sale! lots of warehouse sales over the long weekend from small labels to big brands. check this out next weekend or if you are heading to 32 square try avoiding the traffic.

new Coke

coca cola is removing the "classic" from its coke labels. is this a signal to the new times of coca cola and a new recipe? coca cola fans out there should be rounding up these soon to be obsolete collectible cans for their precious collection. after so many decades, this move is pretty daring as current consumers might not respond too well to this change. the classic age and original recipe cannot be replaced. i hope the makers of coke don't make it any sweeter than it already is and no cherry berry please!

it's such bs

new ruling, new headaches but nothing's new that the govt's gone awol (a wolf on the loose) again. it's total bollocks that a co. run by ma-la-u (pronounce it slowly with a slight chinese accent) has to have a ma-la-u accountant and auditor. the dumbest dumbass ruling i've ever encountered, no wonder the country's going backwards 3 times faster then ever. i've never felt so much discrimination living here as i have after hearing this utterly ridiculous rule. worse of all we have no other choice but to comply. maybe in a couple of years this will phase out, but unfortunately the mentality of the people will never change. someone should show them the world of moving forward china, but of course, with their thick ass brain, they would never learn from the chinese. they don't even realise china has a huge muslim community that is quite liberal. they would forever be 5 years slower than everyone moving forward. so sad such is reality. note to everyone: learn from the best, always have an alternate route for yourself.

chick flicks - gg and coas

i've been following gossip girl online the past month and now waiting anxiously for the next season 2 episode 21 seder anything :) while waiting, i've decidedly dug out the rest of the gossip girl novels that i haven't got around to reading, 3 books in all to go. seems like i'm missing the black prequel book, did sis nick it home with her? anyone who loves chick flicks should absolutely watch gossip girl, it's quite addictive really and best of all its free to watch! you know you love me xoxo

confessions of a shopaholic movie was surprisingly quite funny. the story is a bit of from the book but entertaining for those wanting a no-brainer weekend. nothing surprising in terms of storyline and absolutely predictable who she will end up with. they could have gotten a younger actress with less facial lines :) 

economic sizzle

I was having a conversation with 4 other people last week, they were your day-to-day working class people from the community. After 20 minutes of chit chat, it dawn to me that malaysians are very much unaware how deeply the economy has retracted locally. Our newspaper has been reporting job cuts at some factories and such, but the general public aren't aware of the retrenchments happening in other industries such as SMEs, international companies, banks, etc.
While interest rates have been cut, loans reduced or slashed, i doubt most actually know the true picture of these effects. Every store in most shopping malls are now having sale! It's just after the new year, stores don't usually conduct sales right after the festive season. Even top brands, Armani, Tods, etc are giving rebates ... unheard of phenomenon. And now, we have another mini budget of RM60billion - of how much goes to the coffers and all the mid layers in govt projects imagine the amount that actually reaches the community .. its more money thrown to some &$^%@. Have you heard how much bonus were still given out by a big glc whilst our economy is going down, it's shocking and yet the public is still oblivious.

garbage enzymes

looks like the new trend in town for cleaning agents and other wat nots is to make your own garbage enzymes. we just started to ferment some fruits in the back yard ... its in the first month so everyday the stinky sour smell fills half the house ... it's so refreshing! not! i'm eagerly waiting to see wat turns up in 3 months :D

it's something you should do to help the enviro and safe some money on cleaning agents too ... apparently its good with keeping the mossies away (that's my main motivation ... rid the mossies! save the world!)

Get Smart with Agent 86

I found this movie really hilarious from start to finish. I think everyone should watch Get Smart twice! :D

Anyone know where I can get the TV Series?

Field Football

We played football at the full size field yesterday morning! it was raining the whole night, so the field was wet wet wet .... but it stopped raining in time for us to play "swimming football".

As there was 80% standing water on the field, the ball doesn't go far! splish splash the ball in the water stays in the water! I got splashed by the opponents ... so got a bit wet, but lucky i didnt fall unlike some teammates who loved the run n slide moves!

We scored 2 goals yay yay! (0 to opponents) but game was stopped half time after an opponent hazardly got injured while sliding. Their coach deemed it too dangerous to continue so we won :)

Queen Musical

My next upcoming outing is to the Queen Musical ... actually it's called "We Will Rock You" by Queen and Ben Elton. It's billed as one very successful musical that's been to most major cities around the world. I hope its going to be great!

Nude flights from Germany

German holidaymakers will be able to indulge their love of naturism by taking to the skies nude on special flights being launched this year, a travel company said today.

"In the former East Germany, naturist holidays were a much-loved way of spending the best weeks of the year," said the founder of OssiUrlaub.de, Enrico Hess. "We want to make that freedom possible above the clouds too."

The flights are aimed specifically at former East Germans, nicknamed "Ossis" in German, who feel nostalgic for the naturism that was authorised and extremely popular under communist rule.

The first nude flights will be a day-trip on July 5 between Erfurt in southeast Germany and the Baltic Sea island of Usedom, which is fringed by white sand beaches.

Tickets cost E499 ($A838) and there are just 50 seats on board the jet.

"All the passengers will fly naked, but they are only allowed to undress once they are in the plane. But then they will be able to enjoy the hour-long flight in the way God intended," Hess said. The pilot and the flight attendants will however keep their clothes on.

piggy custard bun

This piggy shape custard bun is from Canton-i restaurant, 1 Utama. It's quite cute looking, the hair is some floss and filling is of custard. The restaurant is part of the Dragon-i chain of restaurants, serves dim sum, char siew, roasted pork (serve with mustard and sugar), duck, wanton noodles, rice, congee (there's crab congee), various desserts and drinks. Food is almost the same as Dragon-i without their famous lai mien. The interior is mostly white, pink, and has many mirrors to make the place look larger than it actually is, it has some nice green at the end of the restaurant. 

a-tone-zzz-ment

watched the movie Atonement last weekend, it was one of the weirdest n slowest movie ever ... watch only if u have the urge to see keira knightley in a old fashion swimsuit and her bare back or suffering from imsonia - guaranteed to work as good as pills. the movie is about a little girl liking a guy who likes her older sister; she got used by her cousin causing her to wrongly accused the guy who likes her older sister to goto jail for rape. the guy ends up dying in war and her older sister drowns in a subway tunnel. the little girl lives with her guilt and ends up writing a book on her story. the end.

Happy "Ratty" New Year 2008

2008 year of the rat is here! we had a little get together party to usher in the new year, lotsa "cosmo" yummy finger foods, satay, chicken wings, sushi etc & definitely lotsa alchohol. the silliest thing we did at the end of 2007 and beginning 2008 was playing drinking games - chicken goggles "on", zero zero 7 and wu ge chuan chang - seriously hilarious stuff.

here's wishing everyone a healthy and prosperous 2008!
