Gifts... =)

Its one last day that I got to see bff Jessicat before she leaves to Penang for Chinese New Year. Have been thinking where should we spend the Friday nite together for quite some time. Our initial plan was to have shisha session at Pavillion after watching "The Green Hornet" as I have been longing to watch that show, which then switched our plan to club at Velvet. And at about 3-4pm, Jessicat changed her mind again, so we ended up Shisha-ing @ Tarbush, Sunway Pyramid until 1am and proceed to join my other friends at @live.

The moment we stepped into Tarbush, all the guys were perving at us, as we are the only Asian chicks around. Although I am quite used to men's attention (be it good or bad), I must say, it made me feel very uncomfortable as these Middle Eastern men scanned us from head to toes, it felt like some sort of sexual harrassment to me for the very first time.
Shisha Lounge @ Solaris Mont Kiara definitely wins hands down in terms of price, services and coziness as compared to this big and famous Tarbush.

I have been to @live twice and I know it is a crappy place with live band performances with ahbengs and ahlians crowd. But since Tarbush close at 1am and I had a few friends invited me to join them at @live, I went there after shisha-ing as the night was still very young! :P
Though I hate the live band performances alot, the vocalist and guitarist caught my attention, both of them are so good looking, handsome and hunky! Ohmy, after being perved at Tarbush, its my time to revenge on guys, I was staring the whole time they were performing and I almost drool just by checking them out. Seriously! LOL

Other than the both of them, @live is still one of the crappiest place to be to me. It's just not that type of place that I would chill, not even when all expense are paid to be there! What else more is better to do than to cam-whore when d party is so horrendous...? ;)

Fyi, when I go for clubbing I will not leave until the club close at 3am... but with the awful music played at this place, I can't help but to leave earlier at about 2.10am.

I hop into Jessicat's car and made her send me to mine as it was kinda creepy to walk by myself at that time with so many niggas around at that area. Guess what? Once I hopped into Jessicat's car, she gave me a nicely wrapped box of gifts! Its so sweet of her, this is why I keep reminding myself, friend comes before boyfriend/husband!

A surprise gift from Jessicat =)

Guess what's inside....

A VIP member card to the Ministry of Sound Euphoria, a free 3weeks pass and a single personal training session to the celebrity fitness, a body lotion from L'ocitanne, and a Sexy car plate for the sexy me. =)
Thanks hun!

The last I followed the tradition to write chinese new year greeting cards, I was at about 8-9 years old, and since then I only send e-cards and sms-es to wish my friends and family. That's why I was shocked to received one from Jessyca when I meet her for dinner last week.

See the way she addresses me...?
Can't see...?

See?!!!
Its Hot Babe, and yes that is how my bff calls me, hot babe... that's me! :P



Read those messages in the card... Aww... so sweet...
I hope her wishes come true too =)

See how good friends can really made my life a brighter one?!

My dear good friends... I want to watch The Green Hornet and Burlesque very badly... When will you all be around to go for a movie outing together? ;)

Booze, Chocolate, Money, Men, Shisha = Partay!

I haven't been feeling well since last Saturday. Got illnesses which begin from very mild cough, sore throat, flu to very severe cough, phlegm, sore throat, fever and eventually asthma attack :(
Doctor suggested that I should stop drinking and avoid smoky places, i.e. club, the first thing that came into my mind was... "how am I gonna spend my weekends without goin to clubs?".
I honestly have tried to stay at home to rest and replenish my energy, but I have a girlfriend's birthday party last Wednesday night. I called to tell her that I can't make it, but she was so pissed to be stood up, so I ended up goin to the house party filled with havoc, boozes, and ciggie smokes! Thank God, I am still alive! =)
At a house party where everyone gets drunk, one of my girlfriend suddenly came to me and starts telling me stories about her recent breakup. Looking at her weeping is so heartsickening and reminded me of my own ugly break up too. I remember how I pushed aside my respect to myself, dignity, and value to try to keep a guy who doesn't even worth my time, leave alone my endless love, supports, and care that I've showered him throughout our relationship. It took me almost 3 months to get over my ex-boyfriend, to be able to look at our pictures together without having the heartbroken feeling, to be able to bumped into him with some random chick(s) and feel cool about it. Honestly, no matter how wonderful teams of family members and friends that I have, the first two months of post break up was disastrous, all I can say is... time heals everything. So girls, cry a river, do binge eating, compulsive shopping after your break up... but whatever you do, don't give up on your life, after a certain period of time, you'll be a fine girl and live your life just the way before your ex-boyfriend exists in your life. N please stop deceiving yourself thinking that life before having your ex-boyfriend is horrendous, cause if that guy is really that good and deserves you, he wouldn't be an EX!

I can't believe that I am living a happier life now without my ex-boyfriend, I remember how stressful it was when I was in my previous relationship, I was always driven up to the wall. And I am not saying that I hate guys or being in a relationship, but I must admit that I hate to have the feelings of insecurites, of constantly worrying what is he doin, who is he hanging out with without me, is he cheating on me... etc just the way I experienced with the previous guy I had. I guess I really need to take my time to find my perfect someone.

But it really worries me alot that my bff, jessicat is leaving me to Melbourne for the next 5mths for her exchange program with Clayton Monash and Jessyca might be leaving to Shanghai for her new job. I am honestly happy for them, but I am sure I am gonna have a hard time adjusting to my new life without them. :(

I am gonna miss you both heaps, love you gals to bit! =)

Had a great night out with Jessicat last night at Solaris Mont Kiara. We were meeting up for dinner at Dish Deli, a very new and cosy restaurant just next to 7-eleven. We both ordered a 3 courses meal for promo priced at RM 19.90. I had mushroom bruschette for my starter, fisherman's pie for my main course and apple crumble pie for my dessert. I find my main dish a lil too tasteless for my liking but I heart the mushroom bruschette and apple crumble pie alot though. Especially the apple crumble pie, its a must try, with ice cream topped the hot apple pie... aww... it tastes so heavenly as it melts in my mouth. Sinful but tasteful! =)
Our initial plan is to head to Bangsar to purchase Jessicat's phone accessories then to Midvalley' Library for drinking session, not until we saw a newly opened Shisha Lounge at one level above ole-ole bali and next to Boston cafe. Jessicat suggested to stay in Solaris to have some Shisha session instead, being the laid back me, I agreed.

We shared a mix flavoured shisha- watermelon & mint with separate mouthpiece. :) We do it safe, we do it clean!

Jessicat have a thing of capturing my non-ready pix moment! =)
See below for the ready version of me shisha-ing

Here it is... with 10times more attitude & smoke =)

Bff Jessicat having her own sweet time puffing watermelon and mint heated tobacco

Do I still need to tell you... We gals cannot survive without cam-whoring! LOL

 After hours of shishaing... we got a lil too greedy and ordered a chicken and beef kebab which tastes fantastic, this place sells the best Kebab that I've tried in M'sia. The chicken and beef are served in small pieces which makes my job to wrap it with bread much more convenient, and I must stress that the beef is very tender with just the perfect amount of spices and time of grilling it.

The pakistani waiter coming to us with our Kebab!

Yummylicious and I just noticed its very well presented too...

With our non-stop gossiping, puffing and eating... we finally get thirsty...

Hence we have this Iranian tea that comes with my favourite dates. It's my first time having an Iranian tea, to my surprise, it tastes very... hmm.. healthy with some ginger flavour alike but I am sure there is no ginger in it. Very interesting taste even without adding sugar in it.

I rarely smoke Shisha, mainly because I am not a smoker, believe it or not, its up to u, but I have never tried a single puff of ciggarette before.. =)
Jessicat told me it is harmless to smoke shisha but I have just googled it and found out that shisha is very harmful to our health and in fact a single session of smoking shisha can be equivalent to a pack of ciggarettes! Omg!!!

Okies, I must admit it was fun to smoke shisha and I like the flavour too.. I'l do it socially... but definitely will make sure that I'l never get addicted to it. Talk about will power now... I have plenty! =)
Regardless, this place is one of my new favourite spot to chill with very good food. Did I mention that the owner, an Iranian lady, is very friendly and nice.. and oh... very beautiful too! ;)

Friday night is approaching... and I have no plans yet.. I might just stay at home, read book, and play with my dogs and enjoy my "own moment" if no one is asking me out... A good start in adjusting my life without my besties for the next half a year!

New Year, New Me~!

People who are close to me know that I love to have a new hair do at least thrice a year... permed, straightened, coloured, shorten, lengthen... u name it...

I always wanted to get my hair done since my last hair do was in July 2010... I straightened and coloured it black back then! I've got diving and surfing trips for the past few months, I don't want to dip my newly done hair into the seawater.. so.. my desire to get a new one is dragged to now.

The only person on earth that I trust to design my hairdo for me is Jane Choo from Wenawave Saloon at Sunway Giza (contact num: 03-6140 8779). She has been my only hairstylist for the past 7 solid years, she is real good, creative and yet never fails in experimenting the new hairdo that compliments my look.

Which do you prefer... Black or Brownish Blonde? With fringe or without? ;)

The new trimmed fringe and brownish blonde coloured hair me

Black without bang!

I think that my new hair do makes me look very Japan-ish... If only I got a fairer skin, I think I can be mistaken as a hot Japanese chick. LOL
After 2 weeks now the colour still stays perfectly and I have not get over the excitement of my new look yet. =)

See the difference again:

Though I must say I think I look good in both different colour and hairstyle... I prefer the new me! What do u think? ;)

My total hairdo cost me 3.5hours in the saloon, and RM 389 for haircut, colour and a colour conditioner. Trust me, Jane might be charging a lil extra to some, but her skills worth alot more!
I am already touching and playing with my hair writing about it now. LOL

Talk about spending money

This is just the beginning of year 2011, and I am already spending my $ like drinking water. First I signed up for a surfing course with Blueforestsurf then I got myself a new hairdo which I heart the end result heaps!

I was spending the 2nd weekend of 2011 in Cherating to get myself equipped with surfing skills. I always wanted to learn how to surf becoz:
a) I think it helps in building a nice slim body with lean muscles
b) I was inspired by Demi Moore in Charlies Angels, remember the scene of how stylish and gorgeous she looks when she walked to the shore with a surfing board... awww...
c)I am a very beach person, anything associates with the beach and sea, I am into it!

To learn how to surf was my new year resolution for the past two years, but I never put in effort to find out the details, mainly because my ex-boyfriend told me he is into it too, but I need to wait until he got the time for it or rather me as he is always "busy"... Girls, a reminder: If you have a dream of your own, go for it, life is too short to be wasted on waiting for something that might not even happen... especially with guys... It might not be fair to be applied to all the guys in the world, but those that I've met... they have problems in keeping their promises, so I've learnt long ago to not listen to their words but to look at their actions!

I paid rm599 for the course and the accomodation. I must say Rm599 is over priced. There were two instructors for me n two of my travel buddies. The instructors, Simon & Helmi, the latter is the better coach with lotsa patience. They taught us the theories and practical in the swimming pool first befor we proceed to do the real thing in the seawater. As it was the monsoon period, it was raining the whole day, waves were rough, sky was gloomy, wind was strong... a total combination in making my first surf a life challenging one, did i mention that I am a weak swimmer..? LOL

Don't be fooled by our smiley faces, it was so cold that I was afraid of getting to the hypothermia state

trying to balance my weight on the long board... Looking at this, made me realise that I've got a very long body! haha...

I always thought standing on a long board is the toughest part of surfing, but the surfing trip proves me wrong. Pedalling out to the sea fighting the waves are far more tougher than standing on the board, it took me less than 15mins for me to stand on a long board! But throughout the 3days, I never managed to pedal to the water level beyond my height :(

Waiting for the wave to push me to the shore so that I can stand on the long board while its moving

Got swept off my long board, and my instructor Simon is trying to get me to the nicest spot before I try again.

and... Ta-da... Look at my expression, of that stupid victorious smile, that's how fun surfing can be!

I will, definitely, go for more surfing trips, perhaps to Bali when I've found myself a good travel companion. I already have my itinerary planned out for travelling to Bali, surfing and partying at Kuta, mountain climbing, water rafting, caving and diving... indulging in nice local delicacies, get pampered at spas and massage parlours... aww... I just can't wait already!

Surfing in Cherating is awesome, and I heard from the experienced surfers, Cherating is one of the toughest spot to surf in Asia unlike the ones in Bali and Padang which can be really friendly. So, I can still comfort myself a lil even though I didn't make it to the deeper water level, nxt time, at somewhere else which are more surfer friendly, I have faith that I will not let myself down! :P

Retail Therapy works!!!

I was invited by Jessica (aka Jessicat, which is her blog name) to Hilton PJ Toh Yuen Chinese Restaurant for a food review. Sitting and dining together with a group of bloggers reminded me that it's time to update mine. I've been very lazy, I know... and I've just made a confession! In fact, when Shiuan, Hilton's marketing communication executive asked if I write my own blog, I said no, because I was too embarassed to show her my so... "limited" blog post. :P
The food there was awesome and it's 100% pork free. The chef is very knowlegeable and friendly as he answers all the questions asked by the group of bloggers professionally. Do check out foodpoi, Jessicat and KY's blogs for their food review blog post.

Last Tuesday, when I was shopping alone in Pavillion while waiting for my mum to finish her teatime with her bff, I bumped into a model agent of whom I've worked with long ago. He asked me to go for the audition of some jobs for F1 race 2011, and so I did... guess what, I failed... as predicted. Even though I've already foreseen the results, it still hits me very badly.. When I have a boyfriend, I would usually cry on his shoulder and his "oh baby, don't worry about it, I am always there for you, I love you, bla bla bla" will usually helps in making my day a lil better. But since I've been single for the past 5-6months, the rejection costs almost my allowances for a month as I went for a retail therapy to cheer myself up.

check this out.

My skincare and cosmetic from Dior, shea butter lotion from L'occitane and accessories from Diva

I swear I have loads more that I have just bought which are nicely kept in my cupboard!

Shoes from Charles & Keith!
I love it when I tried the strappy one, so I bought it the min I put in my feet. I was in love & lust when I spot the peep toes high heels after I've paid for the strappy one... being the compulsive shopper me, I bought it too though it made me feel kinda stupid after purchasing it as both comes in the exact same colour!

One of the cons of staying single is that I hardly receive gifts nowadays... when I received the bodyshop products from Jessica as a x'mas pressie and headgear from Jessyca as a souvenir from her Bangkok trip recently, I was so GAY!!! Girls, trust me, you can live without a boyfriend, but you CAN'T live without your girlfriends... the quality and sincere ones of coz!

There it goes my saving for years! Next thing topped my to-buy-list ... IPad 64gb!!! Hopefully, no one provokes my anger... else, I think I'l go berserk and start purchasing the IPad beyond my means...
Being the spendthrift me, I wonder when can I ever fulfil my dream to travel to Italy... Sigh...

Its 2011 already!!!

Time flies when we are having good time laughing and partying especially with my good team of fabulous friends. Its year 2011 already and I am turning to 23 y/o, how unbelievable!

I hate the wake up call that I am growing older and hence, more responsibilities, i.e. graduate soon and get a good job that can afford my mad spending habit. *Sigh* I am already feeling envious of how I can live my life worrying with petty issues only like what to wear, where to eat and party and where to travel over the past few years.

Together with a group of awesome and (miraculously) group of single and available people, we ushered the year of rabbit 2011 at Faber Heights, Taman Desa with BBQ & pool side party. As usual its a party filled with laughter, hot hunks & chicks and booze!

We dipped in the water after getting real warm at the BBQ pit, Joel (our host) was lucky enough to be sandwiched by the hot Jessyca aka hot mama and myself ;)

Pix time with two hot babes, Gwen and my hot mama, Jessyca

We heart each other too much that we are only satisfied after we get our 'couple' picture of the day :P

Look at the booze served on the table! I feel so sorry for my poor liver...
From left to right: Kuang, myself, KK (kurus kering), hot mama Jessyca and the cutie pie Phoebe



I honestly have to declare that this is my very first time attending a party for the singles only and I have to say it is fun to get to know that I am not the only one who live life to the fullest with every second counts despite having not found the 'perfect one' yet. Singlehood is... honestly, rocks!!!! =)

A party is never complete without a group picture! I now present to you the happening, fabulous and interesting people that I've celebrated the beginning of 2011 with.



I have learnt long ago not to make any new year resolution because I always fail achieving those that I've made over the past few years.
But... with my new found desire to work out in the gym and swimming so consistently I do expect myself to look slimmer and toner!=)
