Adam Lambert- THE American Idol

Music: None Mood: hollow

Apparently Americans were blindfolded. I think David Archuleta's fans took revenged by breaking the 100 million vote record last night to Krystal Allen. Steve Allen. Christian Allen. Whatever.



So what if everyone do care about a bisexual Idol? Let's just wait and see who's the crowd wower.


Adam Lambert, the revived Elvis Presley. Queen's next best choice. Slash's best frontman. American's REAL Idol.

Attack Of The Swine

Music: JUJU- あこがれてた関係 Mood: Nothing Special


This is the 2008 Beijing Olympics medals tally. Malaysia ranked at 71 with one miserable silver medal.

http://swineflutally.com/

This is the Swine flu tally. Malaysia is among 39 countries that was hit with the disease, with TWO confirmed cases somemore.

There are zillions of people on earth, the probability of one getting the flu is nearly 1: 100 million.

It so happened that USA is the country with highest confirmed cases.
It so happened that it managed to reach a tiny town called Newark, New Jersey.
It so happened that there's a Malaysian Student staying in this lone town.
It so happened that this lone-town-Malaysian caught a cold.
It so happened that he is coming back here at this point of time.
It so happened that his friend caught the cold too.

We are sooo standing in the eyes of the world now. Memang boleh.

Big Bad Wolf Books Warehouse Sale @ Section 13, PJ

Music: Matt Wertz- Everything's Right Mood: Heavy


I've been to three books warehouse sale my entire life, this has to be an eye opener. It started from 14 May (Wed) until 18 May (Mon). Guess I've missed out quite abit since it's already Saturday.

The minute I step into the hall, all I can see is people mountain people sea and book mountain book sea.

What's so amazing about this sale is:

No. 1:

Book prices ranging from RM3 to RM8!! I kid you not, this applies to 99% of the books. That's why you can see people carrying cardboard boxes and made-in-China blue plastic bags. I saw an uncle dragging three cardboardboxfull of books to the cashier.

No. 2:

I believe them completely when they claim to have more than 100,000 books. There are still cargo- full of unpacked books at a corner.

What looked like rubbish dump at the 'Do Not Enter' corner were actually untagged books waiting to be arranged by the tired young workers.

I bought all of these at only RM55.

Do visit Big Bad Wolf Books' homepage for any updates or if you are still on time, check out the warehouse sale's location map!

Woo Pin Fish Head Noodle @ Taman Danau Desa, Old Klang Road

Music: Paula Cole- Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? Mood: Wasting away


Originated from Cheras, this has been one of the highly blogged about fish head noodle stall for quite some time. Despite the fact that I'm staying just 3 minutes away, I'm rather embarassed to say that last week was my first visit here.

This shop sells only fish head noodles, nothing else; and yet one needs to wait for at least 30 minutes during peak hours for their orders to arrive.

腐竹薏米白果水 (Fu Zhuk Yi Mai Bak Go)

This is so nicely boiled that the Fu Zhuk has dissolved into the drink.

炸鱼头+鱼滑米 (Fried Fish Head + Fish Paste Beehoon)


Although they open from 7.30 am till 2.30 pm, after Wong Chui Ling from "One Day Five Meals" recommended this place, it's most likely to be sold out at about 12.30pm. I guess I'm really lucky to get mine served in less than 10 minutes.

This has to be the BEST fish head noodles I've ever tasted. We ordered fried fish cutlets and fish paste to go with the bee hoon. Garnished with mixture of tomatoes, shallots, spring onions and salted vegetables, the broth tasted milky and thick. The fried fish cutlets were in generous portions that it's still enjoyable to consume though one still have to pick out troublesome fish bones. If you still don't fancy fried fish, you can replace it with fish paste instead, it's equally smooth tasting.

Price: RM6(S),RM7.50(B)

Address: Jalan 1/109F, Taman Danau Desa, Kuala Lumpur

Opening Hours: 7.30 am- 2.30 pm

Krispy Kreme @ Berjaya Time Square

Music: None Mood: Serene


Joining the Krispy Kreme craze, I decided to check out the world renowned doughnut at our very own first outlet at Berjaya Times Square.


I'm not an avid fan, but I'd like to know how American cops' favourite late night snacks taste like.

The best seller- Original Glazed and Hershey's Dark Chocolate.

Pin walloped a total of 450 calories for the tasting... I guess we didn't like it THAT much. The Original Glazed was too sweet for our liking but luckily Hershey's taste good. Comparing to J.Co, Krispy Kreme is crispy whereas J.Co donuts are soft.

Krispy Kreme targets to open another 20 stores within the next 5 years all over the country; whereas J.Co Donuts is planning to open 5 more in 2009, excluding the current 4 outlets. On the other hand, Big Apple Donuts, the notorious 99% copycat of J.Co, already has 33 stores operating nationwide; of course not forgetting the nearly neglected Dunkin' Doughnuts.

I wonder when will this doughnut franchising trend end? When will this niche market turn into a mass market? What would the next franchise be? Let me guess, Ben & Jerry?

Mother's Day@ New Formosa Restaurant, PJ SS2

Music: Juju- Wish For Snow Mood: Well fed

I can't believe my parents have been here before I do. I mean, FINALLY, they know where I'm trying to bring them.

Dad: "We've been here 20 years ago with Ah Sun ah gu's family for dinner~!"

TWENTY years earlier somemore!


This Taiwanese restaurant has been here since 1980, no wonder I'm damn sua gu.


金菇腐竹海带苗角瓜豆腐(Fried Golden Mushrooms with Japanese Seaweed Sprout Bean Curd Skin and Loofah)


芝麻鸡(Deep-fried Sesame Chicken)


黄梨排骨(Spare Ribs with Pineapple)


清炒油麦(Stir-fried Lettuce)


银杏芋泥(Ginkgo Yam Paste)


She's definitely going to strangle me if she sees this.


We are small eaters, (RM76.50 for the meal) see how easily we can be fed.

If you don't mind the terrible service, this is a must-try Taiwanese restaurant that suits to Malaysians' taste buds.

Calling It A Day

Music: Lupin The Third- Funky Junky Trip Mood: full

I was at USJ branch office on Friday for a DI session, chaired and attended by a few other big-shot bosses (I have no idea why they are being assigned to chair the session!). It's supposed to start at 9.30am, last for about 2 or 3 hours and end in the morning. We started late at 10.30am as a result of 2 bosses' late arrival, as they went to a wrong branch at Subang Jaya (I also dunno how they can be so dai tao har).

So the DI ended at 12.30pm and we went lunch together. I was thinking of tumpang-ing the bosses' car back to office since some of them are based in my office. Then one began:

Boss A: Yesterday I kena full day from my Ah Tao. Today if see her face again, I cannot tahan!
Boss B: Nevermind what, we still have the DI report to complete and print out. See ah, after lunch it's about 1.15 pm. You check slowly-lah, probably will be done at 3.00 pm.
Boss A: Ya lor, then all of you need to verify somemore. I think will be done at least at 3.30 pm.
Boss C: Then traffic jam back to KL. Once you reach office, it's at least 4 pm! (FYI, we can leave at 4.45 pm on Fridays)
Boss A: That's right!! That's why I told my Ah Tao yesterday I'm going to be here WHOLE day!
Me: *jumps into conversation suddenly* er... then are both of you going back to office, at all?
Boss A and B: *stare at me wide-eyed* Are YOU planning to go back later???
Me: hmm, my boss normally will let us relax abit on Fridays...

Boss A and B: *Rejoicing* Then mah no need to go back already looooh!!

Boss C and D: * laughing uncontrollably*

That's the most amazing, heart-warming feedback I have ever heard. From 4 big-shot bosses.

Lee Hom Music Man Concert @ Bukit Jalil, 2 May 2009

Music: Delta on the Main Street- Chinese Moon Mood: Blessed

Tis' my second time watching Lee Hom Concert since 2004, a much fitter, talented, strikingly good looking and of course, better selection of songs this time.



My terror company- one with a terrible backache, another one whose husband failed to put their baby to sleep until 12am. Both die die also want to come.

Thanks to the darn policy, I could never sneak in my Dumbo camera. This is the only clear photo taken by my N95 before lights out.


The rest of my collection are horrible, terrible and vegetable.

He is not Spiderman, Batman, Superman, X-Man or Cicakman, he is MUSIC MAN!



That's his Euro 20K Bahamut!
