Malaysian Idol 2 Results
09.24.05 | Permalink |Entertainment| Comments Off on Malaysian Idol 2 Results

Congratulations Daniel!! Somehow I had that instinct that he will win. I think he was at the top from day 1. You just make 8TV or TV3 richer, 1.2 million (& 6 million in total with the rest) votes for finale!! I think he has a bright future. Look at Leon Lai, Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok. Don’t underestimate the young generation fans. Die hard fans. I just don’t believe what I read in those MI forums. They are all out for the one they like, even if no pocket money for the rest of the month or year.

Now I know being a parent is not easy, if you know what I mean. One day, if my gal or boy came up to me and said “Ma, I need RM100 to vote for their favourite idol?” Give or not to give? I hope I don’t face with that question in the future.

In my humble opinion after watching the Finale, I think NITA ROCKS!!! Her stage performance was excellent, her power and spirit was superb. I just hope she is the next Malaysian Idol.

Anyone who is a fan of Malaysian Idol? Tonight Finals In Genting, live at 8:30pm, showing in both 8TV and TV3. Daniel & Nita will be performing. The idols will sing 3 songs each, one judges’ choice, one personal choice and one theme song. The theme song is titled ‘Mimpi’ and it was written by Pot Amir of Innuendo.

I like to watch MI from Auditions to Workshops to Spectaculars to Finals. I also vote for Nita. I think she has talent and her stage performance is excellent. Tonight I will judge by the performance, whoever does the best performance will get my votes. I have so much balance in my handphone. I am not a phone person that is why I have so much balance in there.

Spice Garden
09.18.05 | Permalink |Penang, Travel| 8 Comments

Finally we got to go to Spice Garden with my family. It was the haze, wedding dinner and rainy weather that keep us from going. The Spice Garden is located somewhere in between Batu Ferringhi and Teluk Bahang of Penang. It was not what I expected. No doubt the scenery was very beautiful with lot of greens and water falls. The place has alot of hiking trails that you need to climb. Lots of stair way up and of course no place for stroller. I had to carry Emily to hike up. My children had fun and so did I (exhausted), to enjoy God’s creation again and always remind me there is someone out there who created the world perfect.

The above picture shows that Emily actually was holding a big giant spice called the Kayu Manis (Cinnamon).

Bug Chocolates

My uncle got some bug chocolates for my children from Turkey. Before my son wallops it all up, I asked my hubby to take some digital shots. It looks very cute and whoever design it is very creative too.

THE END
What A Meal?!!
09.11.05 | Permalink |Service| 6 Comments

My family had dinner at the famous place where they serve delicious cheese cakes with initial SR. My son loves the cheese cake there. As usual I ordered meatball spaghetti for his dinner and a piece of cheese cake. While I wanted something light and tried the Singapore Curry Laksa.

After about 10-15 minutes, my bowl of Laksa came. My jaw dropped. For the very first time, I cannot believe what I saw. I thought I ordered Curry soup. I used a spoon and chopstick to scoop to see what is inside. There were 3 medium size prawns and laksa noodles. No taufu (beancurd), taugeh (bean sprout) or any kind of vegetables. When I look at the picture in the menu, it has egg, squid, taufu, peppermint leaves, fish cake, prawns and noodles. At that instant, I regret what I ordered. If you were me, what will you do?

A. Just keep quiet and eat what you ordered.
B. Get furious and call for the waitress.
C. Ask someone else to eat it.
D. None of the above, please comment.

What I did was? Nicely I called the waitress, and told her that whatever I ordered, doesn’t look exactly like the picture. No egg, no vegetables, no squid…etc. She carried my bowl of curry back to the kitchen. I saw a few people discussing by the kitchen, the chef was there, another waiter holding a menu. It seems to me that the chef himself doesn’t know what was supposed to be in the Curry Laksa. After a while, she carried it out and told me that the one in the picture was Seafood Curry Laksa and not Singapore Laksa. I asked her again nicely, “You mean to say that Singapore Laksa only has noodle and prawn with no vegetables. By the way the price of both is the same?” Later she told me that the Singapore Laksa is supposed to have taufu and fish cake, but the taufu went rotten and the fish cake ran out. I did not say further but ask her whether I can cancel the order and take that away. Finally got what I wanted.

What will you do if you order a meal that doesn’t look and taste like what you ordered?
McD Toys
09.09.05 | Permalink |Shopping, Toys| 6 Comments

After having children, I have started collecting McD toys for them. RM5 for the cost of meal and toy. My hubby and I eat the meal and they play with the toy. Someone once told me that McD is not selling fast food but a big chunk of their revenue comes from selling these Made In China Toys. Not sure how true.

Last time, I am sure you remember the craze of those lovely pair of bears where people fight over it. At 7am in the morning, there is a long queue outside of McD to buy those bears. There is one grandfather who queued early in the morning, bought a few cups of ice cream to get those few bears for his grand children. How loving and sweet. I don’t mind a grandpa like that.

Then came Hello Kitty, Pooh Bears, Snoopy, which didn’t sell, as well as those lovely pair of bears. I wonder what next?

2006 Ikea Catalog
09.08.05 | Permalink |Deco, Furniture, Service| 4 Comments

I like going to Ikea when I am done in KL. There is lots of small and nice deco for my lovely home. Once I went there during long holidays and to my surprised I met 4 friends from Penang. I didn’t even bum into any friends in KL. Maybe Ikea is for outstation folks, I donno.

Anyway for those people outside of Klang Valley who wants a copy of the Ikea catalog, email to their customer service department (customer.hotline@ikeastore.com.my) and request them to send you a copy.

For those who doesn’t want to chop down trees, please visit the website http://www.ikea.com.my/catalogue06/ to get a pdf copy or you can browse online but it kills your bandwidth.

I am a collector of the Ikea magazine. I have the catalog from 1999 – 2005.
