One Day Trip to Malacca with 3 Gluttons

So yesterday, I woke up unusually early around 9am just to have breakfast with a few friends who are still in Muar. We were supposed to go to a kopitiam that sells laksa, pig intestines soup (yuck!), fried carrot cake and zui kuey which is also known as wun zai gou in KL, except the one in Muar is much nicer. But the laksa stall wasn’t open so we went to a Malay stall for roti canai instead. There goes my zui kuey :(

So while eating, someone randomly suggested that we go to Malacca. Ever since the new highway is built, the distance from Muar to Malacca is even nearer now. It only takes about 30 minutes or less to reach. We waited for Yong Haw’s parents’ permission, then the guys went home for shower and off we go heading North!

But before that, they wanted second round of breakfast at a traditional kopitiam. Half-boiled egg, coffee and toast O.o

@angweechun, @chonghao1990 and Yong Haw. I know despite the caption, this photo makes them rather irrelevant since it focuses on me XD

Photobucket

Guess where was our first stop? Hoe Kee Chicken Rice Shop! The one with the life-sized Ah Xian at the door step.

Photobucket

I love those mini chicken rice balls in Malacca! I can have like 20 of them!

Photobucket

Yummy chicken.

Photobucket

Didn’t quite like the coconut cause the meat was too hard for my liking.

Photobucket

#Bromance LOL

Photobucket

The guys wanted to go for second round of chicken rice at the corner shop but thank goodness it was closed! It’s become essential for them that there must be a second round for every meal -.-

So instead, we drove to a road side Malay stall located somewhere at. . sheesh idk where, but it was nowhere close to Jonker Street. It seems like a pretty unhygienic place but there were plenty of customers.

Photobucket

You probably can’t see in this photo but there were so many bees flying around the sugar cane machine! At first I was terrified thinking that they were flies T.T

Photobucket

Apparently the stall is famous for its coconut milkshake with Wall’s ice-cream. So refreshing on a hot and sunny day like this!

Photobucket

Their karipap (curry puff) was the bomb! Must try it if you ever go there!

Photobucket

I don’t quite remember when was the last time I took a photo with Yong Haw. Haven’t seen him since he went to Sydney. Teehee.

Photobucket

Chong Hao and Ang the two fatties.

Photobucket

Went to Dataran Pahlawan and bought movie tickets. Ang and Yong Haw insisted to watch Transformers 3 3D but Chong Hao and I had already watched it. So the two of us watched lala land Ladda Land instead. Freaking scary Thailand horror I swear! The story line was incomplete but the ghosts are scary. Was tempted to go outta the cinema halfway!

Played pool at Cue Club while waiting for show time.

Photobucket

My pool skill sucks. Teach me pool, somebody? :(

Photobucket

Dinner at Crystal Bay after movie. Crystal Bay gave me the impression of fancy Chinese restaurant but nah, it’s more like a deserted Malay village! LOL. There were a few ikan bakar stalls there, similar to Sabak Awor in Muar.

Stir fried lala with cili padi is the best!

Photobucket

BBQ prawn on sticks tasted really good too but it costs RM2.25 each!

Photobucket

Ikan bakar pari (sting ray) wasn’t that good. Any stall in Muar can beat this.

Photobucket

Fried sotong the all time favourite.

Photobucket

And like I said, the guys must always have second round. So guess what? We drove all the way back to Malacca town again for a taste of the famous siham, or we call it longkang siham, presumably the best siham in town!

Photobucket

Located at a dark narrow alley in between two buildings, this cockles and shells stall is well-known despite the unpleasant outlook.

Photobucket

Look, even Ah Xian had been there!

Photobucket

Nom nom nom at the alley. Then the guys started telling stupid stories like lizards and rats falling from the building and getting cooked together with the siham. Wtfreak.

Photobucket

The two fatties did not eat much cause the half-cooked siham were too bloody for their liking. FAIL! By the way, that girl looks like Pei Wing but she’s not! XD

Photobucket

Chilled at Home Lounge next to the river before heading back to Muar. My first time tasting Kilkenny the Irish beer and I already like it! In fact it tastes a bit like chicken essence when it’s cold! Does that mean Kilkenny is a healthy beer? LOL.

Photobucket

Went home last night with red eyes and blur vision. Contact lens attached for 16 hours! And I’ve probably gain some weights from all their 2nd rounds! Jeez. It was fun nevertheless! :)

Baby Jocelyn

How about a cute baby photo to make your day?

Photobucket

Adorable, isn’t she? My 5-month-old baby cousin Jocelyn. The last time I came back to Muar, she was still a little baby who sleeps all day long. Now she’s grown to a little big-eyed cutie who looks at you curiously every time you come close. Best thing about Jocelyn is that she doesn’t cry when a stranger carries her. Wouldn’t you adore a friendly baby like her? XD

Anyway, I’m so happy for my aunt’s family cause they finally got a daughter after having 3 sons! Little Jocelyn is 8 years apart from her 3rd brother yo!

I’m having semester break now by the way. Spending a week or so in Muar and next week I’ll be off to Bangkok! Have been planning to go there since forever. So excited thinking about shopping and food! Imma bring the huge ass luggage I brought to Taiwan even though it’s only 5 days! Most probably it’ll be filled up with clothes and accessories and stuff! Right now all I’m hoping is that there won’t be any riot since we’re going after Thailand’s election. Oh God please grant us a safe trip and let us come back in one piece!

Woke up this morning to a newsletter from Air Asia regarding their latest promotion. Cheap flight for next Feb-June! Might be going to Hong Kong after CNY! Anyone wants to travel with me? Or do you have any other traveling plan? Please lemme know! Teehee.

Fruit Ninja Addict

1055 for Arcade mode, my highest record so far!

Photobucket

Just a few minutes before my newest score, Sammy scored 800+ and was on top of the world. Then all of a sudden I crushed his spirit and even made him cry while trying to beat my score!

The gamer losing to a female game noob! HAHAHAHA.

Gotta admit that the game depends a lot on luck. How much is your highest Fruit Ninja record? Highest I've heard is 1090 by Jeremy! Can you beat his score? Teehee.

Free Tickets to Chelsea F.C Tour 2011

all my dear Chelsea fans, I’m elated to inform you that I’ll be getting a pair of free tickets to the coming Chelsea F.C Tour 2011 match courtesy of Noobie and Samsung! XD

Photobucket

Be jealous not! You might be able to get those free tickets yourself by participating in the contest organized by Samsung! All you have to do is purchase any Samsung product worth RM300 in a single receipt. 300 bucks isn’t a lot right?? Probably sacrifice 2 meals of Sushi Zanmai or some shopping for the sake of Chelsea. It’s definitely worth it! Who knows you might be one of the 2 lucky winners who get to sit with the team during the Malaysian match! Teehee.

Check out these promotion products by Samsung! They’re offering Chelsea-related free gifts and premiums at selected outlet yo!

That's a lot! Wonder which one you're eyeing on! XD

Can’t wait for the match! Imma live tweet during the match and make everyone else who isn’t present envy! Hiak hiak.

Thank you Noobie and Samsung for the great opportunity! See you guys at the match! :)

Movie Review: Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

Courtesy of Chevrolet, I was one of the first who managed to watch Transformers 3 in Malaysia. There was a contest on twitter by @Chevrolet_MY whereby the winners would get a pair of premiere ticket to catch the blockbuster movie at GSC Mid Valley 2 days ago.

Photobucket

Chevrolet was so generous they gave goodie bags to all winners and guests! XD

Photobucket

Our screening was in 3D. To be honest, I really dislike 3D movies. Throughout the two and a half hours, the 3D glasses kept slipping off my nose so I had to keep holding it with my hand! Wtfreak. I guess my nose is way too small and narrow to support the glasses :(

Okay leaving that aside, I wouldn’t recommend you to watch Transformers 3 in 3D, even though I know many of you had already bought the tickets a week beforehand. Nowadays almost every movie is so-called 3D, but how many of them are actually as good as 3D Avatar? Almost none, except a few animated movies. Transformers 3 doesn’t have that much 3D effect. If it weren’t the glasses that bothered me, I would have forgotten that we were watching it in 3D!

I think the movie was good, but not exactly mind-blowing. I guess after the previous Transformers, we all are used to all the machine transformation, fighting and stuff. Nothing new in terms of special effect. However, in this latest movie you get to see more Autobots and Decepticons as all of them gathered on earth and fought each other.

Photobucket

What about the new girl who replaced Megan Fox in Transformers 3? I think she’s equally hot and I wouldn’t mind seeing her instead of Megan Fox! LOL. Her lips are so sexy I swear I stared at it whenever I could! Her presumably English accent sounds rather exotic to me.

Photobucket

Anyhow, go watch it if you haven’t! I heard that the tickets have been sold out for the first week though. What’s left are the lousy front row seats. Hiak hiak.

Once again, thank you @Chevrolet_MY for the invitation and not forgetting the free coke + popcorn! Guys, start following them Twitter today! And @copykate if you haven’t! Tsk tsk.

Rating: 3.5/5 (already plus-ed 0.5 for the sexy female lead! Teehee)

Golden Palm Tree Resort, Sepang Gold Coast

Hello peeps! How are you? I’m having semester break for 3 weeks until mid July! My first weekend was well-spent at Golden Palm Tree Resort, Sepang Gold Coast for Carlsberg’s “Where’s the Party?

The mystery party venue was finally revealed after much anticipation! However, this time I didn’t go for party but for work. Teehee. There were around 200 boys and girls altogether hired for the event! 1000 over invited guests if I’m not mistaken.

Departed by bus on Friday noon.

Photobucket

First time working with Sammy!

Photobucket

Because they hire only vain people! Neh just saying XD

Photobucket

We weren’t told the exact location even when we were on the way. Passed by some deserted kampong roads during which we suspected that we had been kidnapped by organs selling organization who is gonna cut off our liver and kidney. Wtfreak. Sammy said thank god he brought along a knife and we were already planning our escape! LOL!

Photobucket

Our so-called “organs selling organization” turned out to be Carlsberg that organized the kick ass party at the beach! It was our first time visiting Sepang Gold Coast, and despite the polluted beach, we were very much in love with the getaway resort!

Photobucket

We were given so much free time to chill around the resort, it felt more like vacation than work!

Photobucket

Some girls that I met in the grand ballroom. Oh right, did I mention that we all slept in the grand ballroom with inflated air beds and sleeping bags? Thank goodness there was air-cond!

Photobucket

Beautiful evening sky, isn’t it?

Photobucket

Didn’t manage to snap that many photos throughout those 3 days. There were quite many awesome photos tagged on Facebook by Andy Kho, Tim Chew and some other familiar faces I met during the event. Will definitely post them up soon! Anyway check out the infinity pool.

Photobucket

Pictures of me before the free flow party! Hiak hiak.

Movie Review: Super 8

I don’t usually post up movie review but tonight, I went for the premiere screening of such an awesome movie, it made me feel obligated to share with all of you! Courtesy of Nuffnang, I was one of the lucky bloggers who got the opportunity to watch Super 8 by Steven Spielberg on the big screen a day before its showing.

Photobucket

Here’s the trailer of Super 8, in case you haven’t watched it.

Now, doesn’t it leave us ponder what could be inside the train? Indeed, we went for the movie with overwhelming anticipation and excitement! The suspense was so intense I grabbed my hands hard throughout the beginning of the movie! Super 8 kept us in the dark (literally and not literally) for quite a while until it finally revealed the creature.

So what the heck was inside the train??? No spoiler for you! You can easily guess what it is though, something predictable! LOL.

For the superb and breath-taking effects, you wouldn’t regret watching Super 8! Oh, the story surrounds a group of kids (13 year old or so) which makes it even more interesting.

Photobucket

If you happen to watch it in the cinema (bet you probably will!), don’t leave right after the credits. Stay on your seat for a while until you’ll see a lame and funny part XD

I heard that hese pricing are only available during PC Fair. But if you’re a student of Sunway University, you can definitely save the trouble of having to travel all the way to KL Convention Centre! For once I feel privilege being a student of Sunway University! Well, apart from the time when I got 10% discount in Forever 21 by showing my Sunway student ID! Teehee.

Photobucket

Here are some examples of HP printers:

I didn't know that HP Ink Advantage models allow us to print 600 pages for RM27 because the ink cartridge is only RM27! If I were to print 600 pages of lecture notes in the computer lab, they would have cost me RM60 which is more than twice the price! Wtfreak. Gotta get this model to save me more money for shopping! T.T

Photobucket

Anyway, check out their booth while you're in uni within the next 3 days! Don’t forget to bring along your faulty printer yo! And come say hi if you spot me in the cafeteria! XD

First Golfing Experience

Thanks to Eugene, I had my first golfing experience at South Quay driving range. Never in my life had I tried holding a golf club before, except those plastic ones I played with when I was a kid. But heck, maybe those were meant for hockey but not golf! Can’t tell the difference. Wtfreak.

Photobucket

100 balls for RM10. Never knew it was that affordable! Someone should really clean the mirror T.T

Photobucket

From left: Jeff, Eugene and Sam. Jeff the talented sifu taught me all the basic techniques I should know about golf!

Photobucket

That’s me staring hesitantly at the ball trying to estimate the probability that I might embarrass myself in public. HAHA.

Photobucket

For a first-timer, I must be pretty good since I hardly miss any shot. I know I know, I’m a fast learner even though I suck in sports ever since forever. Hiak hiak *blush*

Photobucket

The kind of satisfaction when you hit the ball hard and watch it fly hundred meters away! It keeps you going, hitting more and more! XD

Photobucket

By the end of the game, there was a huge blister on my thumb! Golf hurts your hand nearly as much as baseball does I swear!

Photobucket

The next day, it wasn’t just my hand, but the muscles of my entire body felt the pain! Oh well, that’s a golfing experience for a girl who never exercises in her life! Still, it was really fun and I can’t wait to visit the driving range again! Teehee.
