Chocolate is the answer!



Who da heck cares what the question is?!? Chocolate is the answer... Especially chocolate brownies! Gosh... Can I like marry him already? He bakes excellent brownies! Not to mention scones... Baked to perfection!



Simply mmmmmmmarvelous!

Sigh... He's probably taken already. Speaks French, cooks, bakes, funny, has a dog, tall, well-built, has voice that can melt hearts of women. I mean seriously, Hawa never even seen this guy in person but already she has a crush on him! Reality check: guys like that don't usually roam freely or singly. Unless he's gay! Sigh. Perfect ones are always either taken or gay. Bummer.


And I don't care if Adrian Seet is "gay" or just gay-ish. He's still a nice guy to talk to. Interesting enough to get to know better. I mean he can talk lah... Not to mention such a pretty boy. I still remember the brief chat we had by the elevator. More like pep-talk, because apparently at that time I seemed "uptight" (I was more like frustrated actually), so he told me to loosen up and stuff. LOL. Well from what I hear, he can be quite a diva. Well I guess that's for me to find out when I see him again. That, if I do see him again lah...



Oh the perks on my job! That is.. meeting people. Well you meet all sorts of people from all walks of live. Fellow journalists, famous people, not so famous people, ministers, IJN patient/nurse/worker, tea lady and a cute broadcast engineer at office (*wink*wink*). Very life enriching. Recently saw Paul Choo of The Star at an event. Seen him around (gee.. how to NOT notice? Such a cutie ^_^) Yune knows him, so we always gossip and exchange juices about him. A Penangite, rated as one of the best looking reporter of The Star newsdesk! Hehe. Didn't speak to him though. I was too shy lah.. Plus he doesn't smile (I wonder why ah?). We just exhanged gazes. I caught him checking out my media tag! He must be wondering which press I was from. *grin*

Camp5



Wall climbing is so kewl. I've always wanted to do it and finally I tried it for the first time at Camp5. For first timers like me, we were recommended to try out the Taster Session. 45 bucks for an hour to try out the walls, with some guide from the marshalls. Not much gained but at least get to try it out. Plus the place is just so chun. Camp5 one of the biggest wall climbing gym is Asia. Boy it was BIG. Can't help feeling a little intimmidated by the heights and giantness of the walls. *gulp*



This is me getting ready for my first wall climbing (notice sombody lying on the ground~died already ah???). As usual, camwhore first!



Yay reached the top! Feels great! My arms hurts though...




As a whole the wall climbing experience was awesome. I would definitely want to do it again. However have to sign up for Basic Wall Climbing Course. Quite pricey and have to find time to do so. But still would love to do it again!
Wall climbing anybody???

Annalakshmi



I love Indian food. Sometimes I think I should marry an Indian guy so I can eat Indian food everyday. Haha. Kidding. Anyway had dinner at Annalakshmi. Reminded me of my Indian dinner which I used to indulge with delight back in uni days at The Legends (my fave was the mutton banana leaf rice+manggo lassi). Just that Annalakshmi looked more posh. Nice ambiance with classic instrumental Indian music in the background. We went for the buffet that was laid out. It was all vegetarian. Still very nice. Mmmmmmarvelous! They had the rice, curries, papadam and my fave idly. We whacked and ate to our hearts content. Hehehe. Of course we still have time to camwhore!

















BUT I'M NOT DINING THERE EVER AGAIN...



So I was told that we can pay as much as we like (pay according to your consciousness, so they say). Therefore I decided to pay 10 bucks for 2 person since I was treating Cheryl. The man at the cashier said that they are also helping out with charity. Some of their profits go to the poor. So fine, I decided to add another 2 bucks then, add up to total RM12 (RM6 per person). When I paid him the money, he glared at my 12 bucks and he scoffed at it. Can you believe that?!? He scoffed at us! Auww come on! It's only vegetarian food. No meat! How costly can it be? Even vegetarian banana leaf rice at The Legends is only RM4.50 (which I think is standard). Plus I added another 2 bucks for charity and he dare scoff at me?!? His face was as sour as their mango lassi. So were our moods and impression on that dining place after that.
Annalakshmi, my first and last time.

Helena's back

We ate and be merry. Italiannies, simply delicious! I had lagsana, best I ever tasted. Yum yum! Bottomless iced lemon tea. Had encounter with various weird waiters there. There's one waiter whom I stopped to get a refill by saying "Excuse me?" and guess what? He just passed by and replied "Excuse me" back! It was hilarious. We had fun laughing at the waiters. There's another waiter who suddenly appears out of nowhere aka "now you see, now you don't: Chipmore (no offence, but he looked like the colour too)", and there's also the one who is stoned: expressionless. I had to ask for lots of refills no thanks to Hauer and Helena who kept pitching from my glass just because it was refillable. Kidding.



Dinner was satisfying. Overly-satisfying. Hauer had angel hair that could feed 10 people. Apparently she oddered the wrong type/serving. I had chocolates for my birthday (coming soon!). Thanks Helena. Well after dinner, she got high (act cute). Yeah it was either the excess carbs or grape smooties. Nah, maybe not. After dinner we camwhored, as usual.



Not enough stuffing ourselves for the night, we proceeded to cakes after that. A little celebration since our birthdays coming soon. Overindulgence to the max! *burp*

HAIRSPRAY-ed.



I have been Hairspray-ed! It was an awesome experience. Although I had to rush from work. Practically running from office. But it was all worth it. Not to mention it was a musical. Made me happy and wanted to sing and dance along. It's a happy movie. A comedy. So colourful and so 60's. The fashion, the style and oh THE HAIR! Welcome to the 60's!



No doubt, John Travolta stole the limelight. I guess some viewer (including me) flocked the cinema just to catch John Travolta in a fat lady suit. And boy, you will not be dissapointed. He looked a really pretty lady although fat. I mean that's his characther, Mrs. Turnblad, the mother of the progatonist of this movie, Tracy Turnblad. James Marsden (from X-Men: Cyclops) looked like he's in a toothpaste comercial, rather than Corny Collins' Show, he kept smiling and showing off his pearly whites. Still outshined by Zac Efron who played Link Larkin, the cutie and most popular boy in Baltimore. And true to its name, hairsprays were used in almost every Corny Collins' Show (talk about polluting the air with aerosol!). Hair wise, big is in! The higher, the bigger, the better.
