Envy Bands

2010-12-14T14:10:00.002+08:00

Ok enough blogging about food and travels already. Now lets divert to fashion instead! :D :D

I recently started a small little business..*ahem*

I focus on selling quality fashionable headbands from Korea. Yah i know the first thing that comes to your mind is... "Ya right Korea! Dont Lie! I am sure it is from China or Petaling Street"

Well No! You can be rest assured these headbands are really from Korea.

You know sometimes pretty headbands can easily make one look and feel different? I love wearing them alot so i thought i might as well start something to do.. :) Ive been getting really good response from the very first day i showed them to my close colleagues and friends. So here i am presenting to you Envy Bands :)

A much needed break

2010-12-14T11:11:00.026+08:00

Its been a while since JT and I went on a holiday! Due to "some" stress at work and all that crap, i feel i needed to take some time off away from KL and i didnt mind if its just a short weekend break to Port Dickson! :D

So off to Avillion Admiral Cove PD we went!

The weather was perfect when we arrived!

Part of the lobby.

Our superior room. Quite spacious

No King Bed during our visit so JT and i slept separately. Haha no la..that would not happen lar. Obviously we combined it to make it one!

Toilet, duh

This is the view from the balcony of our room.

We took a walk around the hotel and found this:

Yachts, how sexy!

Wow Private Beach. Sounds so exclusive right?? To my horror, this is Avillion's beach:

No thanks! I dont wanna soak in this muddy looking sea water!

We found that some other part of PD has better beaches.

So we ended up swimming in the infinity pool.

Art Gallery within the hotel.

The hotel at night.

We had dinner here.

Steamed red snapper, Chew Chau style. Our favourite becuz its sour and salty.

Kam Heong style crabs.

Kangkung belacan.

Total bill was RM 83.

The next day, we went back to the same restaurant to try their famous Chicken Curry Bun.

This is how it looks like! I recommend you guys to try this. Very tasty chicken curry and soft fluffy buns (RM20)

Lucky Seafood Restaurant

No.4366, Taman Aman

Jalan Besar

71010 Lukut

-------------------------------

Next time i wanna stay at Avillion or Legend Water Chalets! :D

Steamboat & BBQ

2010-12-13T15:52:00.012+08:00

I found a new restaurant for Steamboat and BBQ! Gotta travel quite far to get to this place though :D

Buffet style so you can eat all you want and if am not mistaken, its less than RM 25 per head. Very reasonable.

The crab meat wasnt fantastic but it makes the soup really nice.

They have a wide variety of marinated chicken, lamb and beef.

Satay sticks, yum!

Besides the little cute steamboat pot and hot plate, we were also given this thing to "bakar" our food. Interesting eh?

The pot filled with goodies. You can choose Tom Yam or Clear soup.

My bro and sis in law enjoying the process of preparing the food and of coz whacking it hehe

Look at the crowd! Every table is occupied. I guarantee u will gain few kgs if u dine here. LOL. Here's the address to this place:-

Eighty Eight Steamboat and BBQ Restaurant

PT21437, Stall 2, Jln Tiara 1

Bandar Baru Klang

On our way back after dinner we decided to visit I-City which was not quite a good idea.

My Family..aww!

Day Trip-Ipoh

2010-11-27T17:52:00.000+08:00

Some weekend ago, my friends and i decided to stuff ourselves silly with food in Ipoh. It took us approx 2 hours to reach our destination and here goes:

Dim sum at Foh San. Oh look how much they've changed! Impressive!

Taste and quality is slightly above average if u ask me.

Cheong Fun with Stewed Duck & Ginger in claypot. Must try!! Wrong order made by me and it turned out to be the best dish we had at Foh San.

We took some shots at the backlane next to the best Tau Fu Fah at Funny Mountain :D

Val & I

Had chinese tea at Purple Cane. Nice ambience. (previous Foh San shop)

ta pau-ed Salted Chicken all the way back to KL. Nice!

Then we went to a coffeeshop and got really dissappointed with our drinks. Iced IPOH White Coffee. It was the worse ive ever had! I cant believe they cant even get this basic drink right.

Ipoh Sar Hor Fun. Waited more than 1/2 hour for this bowl of treasure.

Lou Wong. Supposedly famous for Ngar Choy Kai.

Sadly it was not up to our expectation. The chicken meat was so tough it was as though we were chewing on rubber!

Lastly we had dinner at Tanjung Tualang and here is their signature dish!

If u are visiting Ipoh, please help me buy the Salted Chicken! :D

O.P.I

2010-11-05T12:40:00.008+08:00

Just wanted to share pics of the O.P.I colors i bought recently :) These nail polishes are the best!

from L to R: Pink-A-Doodle, Blue My Mind, A Good Man-Darin is Hard to Find

from L to R: Tickle My France-Y, Japanese Rose Garden, No Room for the Blues

6 lovely colors for now..Its gonna be another few months till my next purchase i think *grins

The Uma Balinese Restaurant

2010-10-22T14:23:00.011+08:00

I was introduced to this cozy Balinese restaurant by my sister in law. Pronounced as "The Oo-meh", a Balinese word for Paddy field.

She loves trying out new restaurants. For me, i would prefer recommendations and be assured that the food is really good before giving it a try. :D

Located at 7G & 7-1, Jalan PJU 5/21, The Strand, Kota Damansara.

The interior.

Like as if you are really in Bali

My sister in law had the Pork satay set. She said it was marvelous.

My mom and brother had the chicken set. Just look at the size of the chicken!! (RM18)

My Fried Duck set. Chef's recommendation. I enjoyed every single bite. (RM20)

Truly an authentic Balinese dining experience!

Beauty Therapy

2010-10-21T16:26:00.006+08:00

Every girl should pamper herself every now and then. Agree? :D

For me, a manicure and pedicure session is something i cannot miss although i can paint my own nails.

I usually visit Diva Nail Salon @ Kota Damansara simply because they have Ogawa massage chairs! Hehe No lah, their service is good too!

ewwww.. why would anyone take up this job? :/

So many OPI colors to choose from. Trust me, it took me 15 mins to decide. I hate making decisions!

Ended up with this color which i have forgotten its name. Do u know that every single OPI color has a unique name to it? What do you think? I love it so much i cant stop looking at my nails, haha! Am vain like that

:D :D :D

Restoran Tasty Chicken Rice

2010-10-21T15:46:00.009+08:00

My favourite chicken rice shop is the champion of the Malaysian Hainan Chicken rice competition in 2007!

Its really hard to find really good chicken rice in town and am glad this shop is just a stone throw away from home.. :)

Restoran Tasty Chicken Rice

22A-1, Jalan PJU 5/16

Dataran Sunway

Kota Damansara

The rice is fluffy and is not sticky

The roasted chicken is tasty! I especially love the skin because its so crispy!

Fresh beans sprout goes very well with the chicken rice

Ok this chicken feet dish is my favouriteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Omg... Its to die for!
I cannot understand why some people finds it disgusting! :D

I forgot to snap pic of the chilli sauce and ginger :)

Typical coffee shop ambience but u can be sure its clean.

Hatyai

2010-10-15T12:26:00.014+08:00

Two weekends ago, i made my obligatory trip to Hatyai with a friend. It was a short trip but we came back with loads of goodies! :D

Nothing much to highlight because we spent most of our time at Robinsons, Central and a place similar to Chatuchak (cant recall its name). We also spotted a new cafe near Robinsons. It looks really pretty!

Alice with her Mango drink

My very tired face without make up

@ B's Sweet Cafe. Price is very reasonable

Gelato Ice Cream

Came across this stall selling fried stuff. Yummy! but check out the color of the tofu....Bright yellow!

Moooooooooooooooo!

There is also this "Idea Market" held every Sat & Sun at the complex opposite Central. You'll find alot of interesting cute stuffs mostly handmade.

liddis!

Swensens Ice Cream! Sticky chewy Chocolate is the Bomb!

My trip to Thailand can never be complete without Swensens :D Its so cheapppp..

Alrighty hope to update my blog more often! Continue visiting ....

Eating In

2010-08-18T20:57:00.015+08:00

Healthy breakfast for two on a Sunday morning @ home. Bliss!

I get so tired of eating out sometimes. U know, i rather mess up the kitchen and prepare what i wanna eat at the comfort of my own home. Cleaning up the dishes is not my favourite but i do love grocery shopping and the cooking part! :) I find that cooking a meal for 2 person isnt cheap at all. Meat and vegetables are quite pricey nowadays. Its best to buy them from the market but who likes going to smelly wet markets ? :)

Spent quite a bit of time in the kitchen last weekend and heres what i prepared:-

Stir fried black pepper beef with spring onions.

Cauliflower & Carrots fried with lots of garlic.

Fried fish and the must have cili padi.

I wish i could master the art of frying fish someday! I find it really difficult cuz the fish will stick to the wok no matter how hot the oil is and when i try to flip the fish over, it will surely tear apart. Not to mention oil splatters everywhere! Argh. Do you have any tips to share?

Another meal complete with choy sum soup, omelette, fried chicken & japanese tofu with minced chicken.

Cooking can be really easy and fun! Am off to search for new recipes to cook for this weekend... :)

Holidays

2010-08-11T13:50:00.008+08:00

Do you know that it is quite stressful to book tickets on Air Asia when its on sales? At least for me.

This is what i have to go through yesterday after knowing about the promotion:-
- Click & click to check for cheapest rates. Even though it says RM1 fare, it does not mean its available every month or date you want. This can be really frustrating!
- BBM husband & call family members to confirm Destination, Date and personal particulars
- Go back to Air Asia's website to find that the price has gone up!
- Call husband & family members again to inform new price (gotta also explain to them why the price has gone up)
- Click destination and dates again to make booking. Entered 5 persons particulars and BOOM!!! a Bee comes out and says the system is currently busy..try again later!!
- Gotta enter all passengers particulars again for 3 times before the booking was made! Mad!
- Search for other cheap fares to other destinations* kiasu

So i've got my holidays all lined up for next year :)
January- HK/Macau
April - Hanoi, Vietnam
May- Melbourne, Australia *booked on 17/8/10 :D
July- Bandung, Indonesia

We are all excited and looking forward to it. Now what if i get pregnant?

Going Korean

2010-07-28T12:15:00.018+08:00

I was craving for Korean food yesterday i knew i just had to call someone out to accompany me for Korean dinner! Lucky enough, Chia Li said "YES" when i invited her. Since it was a last minute invitation, the rest of the girls could not make it.

We went to Nak Won at Taman Danau Desa. I've read many good reviews of this place.

Chia Li looks abit Korean here, what say you?

BBQ Chicken. Would love to try their Beef someday.

There were 12 different type of side dishes for us and thats alot of variety. Best of all, can refill! :D

I love greens

My share of Chicken Ginseng Soup.

Kimchi Soup with glass noodles

Chicken grilled to perfection.Yum yum!

Some kind of steam egg

And a very satisfied me after dinner :D Came out of the restaurant smelling very awful though.

Day Trip-Singapore

2010-07-14T22:15:00.015+08:00

It was last two weeks JT and i went on an impulse trip to Singapore, only for a day trip. We wanted to put up a night there but it was so last minute that i did not have enough time to book for a nice affordable hotel. It also din help that i was not too familiar with Singapore. I almost booked a room at GEYLANG! A Red Light district for goodness sake!

Anyway we took a coach from Melaka to Singapore @ RM38/pax return. It stops right at Resorts World Sentosa. Very convenient. We visited ION Orchard & Vivocity too.

World Cup Fever at MRT Station :)

Delicious Ramen at Aoba, Ion Orchard, yummy! Not sure why we decided to have Ramen...but whats good to eat in Singapore?

This Salmon set only for SGD 12.80 :) I reckon the cost of living in Singapore is quite low?

Walked around at Orchard Road. So many people & shopping malls, Msia no where to be compared! If i work/live in Singapore, i'll go crazy!

Although we did not have much time to shop, I still manage to grab two pairs of Charles & Keith at only SGD46! Cheap right? Am so happy with my purchase!! :)

It was an enjoyable trip overall but wont be visiting Singapore again anytime soon!

I wanna have this everyday

2010-07-05T22:15:00.007+08:00

A glass of fresh Carrot & Green Apple Juice for dinner today. Ahh..i feel so healthy! :)

Sasa Craze

2010-06-29T22:08:00.018+08:00

I love Sasa because there are so many interesting beauty products i cannot resist not to buy. hehehe Most of their products are of good quality from Japan and Taiwan. Here are my latest buy... :)

Biore Cleansing Oil. I've just tried this and its the best make up remover ever invented. Why didnt i discover this earlier! Not greasy at all even though its Oil based. Effective and has a pleasant fragrance too. RM 23.

Guess what are these cute little puffs for?

To curl hair the easy way! :) Recommended by Sweetpepperlove. This is roughly how you do it. These soft foam rollers are easy on hair and also comfortable to sleep on since its soft.

Mascara Guard. To use it while applying mascara to avoid smudges. RM 19.90

Liese Juicy Shower. A mixed berry hydrating mist for the hair. I can say byebye to dry hair now. RM32. Free coin purse.

False lashes at RM 17.90 each. Usual price RM 22

Stick Concealer! RM 42.90

Measuring tape, F.O.C

Eye Mask. RM 4.90 for 3 pairs.

This is very useful and only RM 9.90 for 2 pcs.

To put up your annoying long fringe when applying make up. Comes in three different colors (Pink, Baby Blue & Black).

Noticed my new hair colour? Need to redo it cause am not very happy with the outcome.

The Magnificent White Temple and More

2010-06-27T10:52:00.038+08:00

This is gonna be a long post with loads of pictures. I sacrificed my lunch just to get this done! If you dont have much time, come back another time :)

Wat Rong Khun or better known as the White Temple is a living work or Art! Located half an hour from Chiang Rai city, this beauty was built in 1997 and till today, it is still under construction. White is to symbolise Buddha's purity.

Basically everything is white. Even the fishes are pure white. I've not seen pure white fishes!

A Hibiscus

JT very impressed :)

Actually there's meaning to every single detail of this temple, in order to reach Heaven, you'll have to go through Hell.

But before you enter Heaven, you'll have to say Hi to this big guy first.

They say the White temple is also known as Heaven on Earth.

The mural in the temple is very interesting. Unfortunately, we werent allowed to snap any photos. Anyway, it has a combination of traditional Buddhist motifs with modern theme such as images of the Matrix, Space Ships, handphones, sept 11 Twin towers etc.

This is Chaloemchai Khositphipat, the man who designed and built the White temple (Not the real person of course!). He creatively brought traditional Buddhist art into the contemporary world.

Our day trip also includes a visit to the Hill Tribe village & the Golden Triangle.

JT with a very pretty looking long necked girl.

This girl so cute!

This is where they live.

The Golden Triangle. The border of Myanmar, Thailand & Laos.

The long boat we took to tour around the Triangle.

Enjoying the cruise along the Mekong River.

Stepped into Laos.

And found this very interesting stuff. Fancy any snake or scorpion Whisky anyone??

I'd rather be safe and go for beers instead! :)

The Northern Most of Thailand, Mae Sai.

Now back to Chiang Mai, this is our mode of transportation. We depend on Maps to get around. Hehehe

We saw and went to more places on our rented bike.

at the park with so many fearless pigeons

Soaking feet in warm water before my 2 hour body scrub and massage! 500 baht only. I need one now!!

After massage, we were given half a mango each and of course water for Free.

We never miss out on street food whenever in Thailand.

Us going round looking for interesting food & places. I was forced by JT to wear that awful looking helmet! yucks

Shopping at Nimmanhaeminda Road.

One of the morning having breakfast at our hotel.

One of the best pork ribs JT has ever had @ Sizzler Restaurant.

This is the entrance to the Sunday Night Market. It is so freaking big its like Chatuchak in BKK. It operates only on Sunday nights. You should not miss this one.

Simply because there are so much to see and buy!

ok this is taking too much of my time.. i need to catch up on my tv series before i get my hair a new colour at the salon later. Hope you enjoyed my final post on Chiang Mai/Rai :)

Will be back with updates on new hair.

Doi Suthep & Panda, Chiang Mai

2010-06-24T19:55:00.017+08:00

Our first stop was Wat Phrathat located at Doi Suthep. It was summer then so the weather was quite uncomfortably hot. According to our guide, the best time to visit Chiang Mai is during Winter which falls in Dec and Jan where temperature can drop to as low as 15 degress celcius. Hotel rates will definitely be at its peak during that period.

Me about to take the 309 steps to the Wat (temple). It was surely good exercise for JT & I. hehe

Oh, when in Chiang Mai, you'll find that your surroundings are very Serene and Green. Trees are everywhere and it feels really good ya know.

We reached the top and thats the Pagoda behind us. Visitors must be properly dressed so am wrapped in a sarong here :)

Some renovation going on i think.

View from the top. Over looking Chiang Mai town from Doi Suthep.

I did alot of research on places to visit and one of it is the Zoo. We paid 200 baht each just to see Panda bears! hehe

I look very shocked here because this cutie little panda bear came so close and even posed for our camera. So cute!!

The Pandas in Chiang Mai Zoo are so active and they walk about so much even i feel tired for them. I really did enjoy myself like a little curious kid in the Zoo :)

Dinner in our room. It was my birthday but unfortunately we could not go out for dinner and drinks because of the curfew and havoc in Thailand. Thanks to the Reds shirt supporters. Hmmph.

More coming soon... :)

At Pingnakorn Boutique Hotel, Chiang Mai

2010-06-23T21:35:00.020+08:00

Finally updating on my recent Chiang Mai/Rai trip. It was one month ago..on my birthday :)

We stayed at "At Pingnakorn" a Boutique hotel @ Nimmanhaeminda Road. We were so lucky they upgraded our standard room to a Deluxe cuz it was my special day. I requested for it without shame, hehe. The Deluxe room was more spacious and nicer :) So remember to take advantage of such occasion and be daring enough to ask okays? You'll never know. hehe

Love the Interior of the room. Modern and White themed! ........We Loveeeee White!!

There was also a little kitchen in our room. JT made use of the kitchen by cooking instant noodles :)

Garden at the roof top of the hotel

Seating area at the lobby

And this is where we relax and have our breakfast and tea break.

I would definitely recommend this hotel because 1)Stylish Interior & Exterior 2) Rates are very reasonable

3) Location 4) Friendly & helpful staff

If you are planning to visit Chiang Mai, do consider to stay here http://www.atpingnakorn.com/

Stay tuned for more updates on my trip..

Our 1st Wedding Anniversary

2010-06-18T17:21:00.016+08:00

We celebrated our 1st Wedding Anniversary at La Bodega in Bangsar on the 31st May 2010. JT took leave just to be with me. How sweet is that. The past one year as husband and wife has been great i'd say. JT helps out with the house chores and most importantly irons his own clothes! :) I can't ask for more!

Food & our bottle of Wine was excellent! We had tapas, soup, pasta and lamb. The only dissappointment was the Mushroom soup. Even Campbell's can soup tastes better, Really!

JT and I seated at one corner of the restaurant...all cozy and romantic..hehe

My love handed me a beautiful bouquet of red roses he hid at the back seat of his car...what a surprise! Aww..

Gosh, am missing the lamb and tapas at La Bodega already!

Benefit

2010-06-05T21:51:00.009+08:00

Went to Benefit's warehouse sale few days back and bought 3 items i really like and need! :)

Brow Zings. The complete kit includes pigmented wax for shaping, natural shaded powder for setting, tweezers, hard angle brush and blending brush. RM70 (RM139 at counters) What a bargain!

Benefit's Lemon Aid is a correcting cream which helps to hide redness & discoloration of the eyelids. Can be used as eyeshadow base. RM50

Lastly, an eyeshadow brush i needed so badly. RM35

All of the above for RM155. It will cost me more than double if i bought it at the counter.

What a Tragedy

2009-01-02T14:18:00.007+08:00

I was so shocked yesterday when i heard the news about the fire during NYE at Santika Bangkok. 61 people were killed at the club. Apparently the fire was caused by the fireworks on stage. They shouldnt have fireworks indoor! The countdown party was named GoodBye Santika as it was going to move to another premise.

Not only Goodbye to Santika but to the 61 people who are dead. Its really sad.

All gone forever

We were there only last Nov. Lucky we made it otherwise we wouldnt have another chance.

Happy New Year!

2008-12-31T16:02:00.017+08:00

Another year is approaching very soon. Cant believe how quickly 2008 came and before i know, its coming to an end already. 2008 has been good for me. A couple of events took place such as the engagement, the purchase of our new house J-17-7, our Krabi trip & Kylie's concert at BKK. These are some of the main ones that i can recall. My memory is getting really bad. I foresee alot of changes in the coming year and am so excited about it.

Come lets all look forward to a better year. Cheers!

Bangkok

2008-12-20T13:02:00.043+08:00

We saw loads of colourful interesting stuffs at the chatuchak weekend market, a must visit when u are in bkk. It has thousands of stalls that sells anything you can think of..really.

Pretty little roses Classy lights

An aquarium

I love the colors! Ice Cream cubes! yummy

We went for ice cream at Swensens! One of my favourite..I had Sticky Chewy Chocolate Ice Cream..

So worth it but not something that i can have everyday :) fattening!

Ok, here's the reason why we were in Bangkok in the first place. We went there to catch Kylie Minogue live in concert!! Thanks to JT, he made my dreams came true :) Ive been a fan of Kylie for the longest time. Too bad Msia isnt part of her KylieX tour.

Posters of her everywhere at IMPACT ARENA, MUANG THONG THANI

Us before the concert

The whole event was sponsored by Singha Beer..

And they were serving free flow of Singha to VIPs (those with very expensive tickets). How nice

Enjoying my Iced Chocolate at Doitung Cafe. Excellent

Then i realised i should be supporting Singha instead, hehe. I had a whole giant pint for only 100Baht.

The concert started at about 8pm and it was packed!

Kylie Kylie!!
Can you see her ? I just cant get her outta my head! hehe

The concert lasted for about 2 1/2 hours. It was a great experience!

Next morning, we saw this on the newspapers. Scary isnt it ? A Mass Protest...When will Bkk ever be peaceful.

But that didnt stop us from going out to shop :)
MBK shopping centre

Hey check this out. Instant noodles advertisement. The Thais can be very creative! Spotted it while shopping around Siam Square.

JT feeling very tired after a whole afternoon of shopping

Love this Xmas Tree. Guess what is it made of ?

Merry Christmas in advance! :)

Gloominess

2008-12-17T09:53:00.002+08:00

You are everything to me, and everythings about you. I wish sometimes you think of my feelings too...
I dont know what to say but am disssapointed...

Bangkok

2008-12-16T22:40:00.010+08:00

My recent trip to Bangkok was quite dramatic. For the first time ever, i missed my flight home! All because of the terrible jam there. We had to spent an additional RM1k just to put up for another night. And the next day, the protesters decided to screw things up by closing the Suvarnabhumi airport but we managed to return home few hours before the airport was closed down. Many say we were very lucky but deep down i secretly wished i was still in Bangkok! :)

This time around we stayed in Citin Pratunam, a newly opened hotel located in Pratunam. I wouldnt recommend to stay here because the accessibility isnt quite good. Not many taxi drivers have heard of this hotel too. Anyway, after checking in to our hotel, we immediately got dressed to go clubbing! We headed to Santika at Ekkamai Soi 63. Ekkamai is well known for its posh clubs where rich and young Thai ppl hang out. There was a live band playing both Thai and English songs. The whole atmosphere is so different.

Omg, i didnt know its so troublesome to upload photos here. Its getting late, i need to sleep now. Will continue tomorrow with day 2 at bkk.

All brand new!

2008-12-01T14:54:00.001+08:00

Hey, seems like everyone has their own blog. There's no reason not to have one myself right? :)
This is where am gonna update my stuffs from now on. Till then!
