Lets go and see the cow

The Date :  29th July 2010

 

The Venue : Marché, Curve Damansara

 

The Event : Birthday Celebration (my sis in law Hafezah)

The Food : A Lot !! and freshly cooked too !!

As usual, start with Ceaser salad..

..which I have to say, I'm kinda disappointed coz it could have been better..

..will need to try the mushroom salad next time.

 

Then, the prawn..

..and the sirloin steak..

And my thirst cruncher, Kedondong Asam Boi !!

And the kids were having fun too..

Thanks to the playing area, we're able to take ample time to enjoy the food.

Breakfast at McDonalds

 

This is my favourite breakfast meal of all times.

Hotcakes and coffee - RM 4.20

Yeah, believe it !

I'm a sucker for Hotcakes.

Hooray for the new McD after the LDP tol exit Cbj.

Makes me looking forward to morning meetings there! hehe..

It's not my cup of tea

Just finished watching 500 Days of Summer.

It is described as a romantic-drama-comedy film, which sorry to say but I don't feel it has enough comedy to label it as such, directed by Marc Webb and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel.

I'm ok with the non-linear flow, mixture of past and future shots overlapping each other.
I'm ok with the fact that the actress looks like Katy Perry.
I'm ok with the narrative story board concept.
I'm ok with the just talk no action movie.

But I'm seriously NOT ok with the ending!
To summarise; boy meets girl, boy falls in love, girl doesn't but they formed a relationship anyways for more than 400 days, and then girl went off to marry some stranger who instantly proposed to her just because she felt it was her destiny?
WTH is that?
Yeah, I know, I googled and read the critics which said that this film was great and yadda yadda yadda..
But seriously, it is just not my cup of tea.

A new beginning..

..to a healthy living..

QZ and I decided that we are lacking the vitamins intake and need to take supplement.
With the help of Gobi, we decided to try this Amway Double X.

It comes with 3 packets of pills, different shapes and sizes, containing different things and we are to take each, once a day.
Hmm.. will report the progress from time to time..

Embracing the Nisfu Sya'aban

 

First Yassin + Doa to live longer..

Second Yassin + Doa to live wealthier..

Third Yassin + Doa to die in Iman..

Made it, just in time !

To sent my parents off on their Delhi - Kashmir vacation.

Hmm.. darling, when do you suppose our overseas trip will be?

I'll start diet after this cupcakes, err.. pies, err..mini burgers.. ?

So, this was the thing that came in the box earlier.

KS called it whoopie pies..
Honestly, I refuse to call it that because I'm having images of Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act, dancing in my head!
And I can't call it a pie either because, well, pies look differently, of course..

Hmm.. But it does look like mini burgers to me.
The top and bottom parts are actually layer of cake, chocolate flavoured cake to be exact, and splattered with melted chocolate on top.

And with cream cheese filling, in the middle.

So, yeah, I'm definitely calling it mini-cream-cheese-choc-cake-burger !

Just arrived

 ..but I haven't got the chance to peek yet..
..have to run off to a meeting..
..stay tuned.. more pics to follow..

p/s: however, the ribbon does match my coach powder blue poppy pocket hobo though.. hehe..

Expanding Horizontally ?

Why do I have a feeling my cheeks look a bit chubby today?

Shoot !

I need to start dieting !

Serious shit !

Ohmygosh, I almost couldn't find my waistline !!

Fresh from the sea

Not just one..

..but a whole bucket full of crabs!

7 kg in total, to be exact!

Out of town

 Wishing everybody a wonderful weekend!!

Looks like we may need a bigger car

U jump, I jump.. U dream, I dream

Ohhhh he's such a hottie!
I've been loving Leo since the Titanic, and now, this, Inception.

Kudos to Christopher Nolan for producing and directing such a magnificent film, which was indeed not a surprise at all when it comes from him as he was the known director and writer himself for the film Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins and the The Dark Knight. 

Inception stars stars Leonardo DiCaprio, with a creatively ensemble cast includes Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Tom Berenger, Dileep Rao and Michael Caine.

This sci-fi thriller is about stealing and planting an idea into one's head by doing it subconsciously through a dream.

Sounds very direct enough, huh?
Well, wait till you get to the part that the dream was actually a dream to another dream and it's related to another dream!
Three layers or dream altogether!

And believe me when I say that the more complicated it sounds, the better it becomes!
The graphic effect is fabulous.
The story line is amazing.
The movie is astounding!
Nothing less than that.

I watched it last night and for the very first time in my life, when the movie ended, the whole cinema clapped!
Yes, audience were clapping their hands.
Sounds silly because non of the actors or producers or rep from the movie was there.
But that didn't matter at all.
The point was that the movie was pure mind-blowing, that you just have to applause!

And definitely must watch it again!

LVing la vida FIFA

Please stop reading if you are already so annoyed on hearing about the World Cup, because I'm still gonna continue blogging about it.
Only this time, it's not about the matches..
..not about the handsome players..
..not about paul the octopus either..
But, it's about Louis Vuitton.
Read on if you're wondering on how exactly is it associating with the World Cup.


Commissioned by FIFA, the special order case, handmade by a single master craftsman in Louis Vuitton’s historic Asnières workshop, near Paris, has been meticulously designed to accommodate the celebrated FIFA World Cup Trophy.

Yes, the Trophy's has its own travel case!
How awesome is that?
Covered in Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram canvas, the travel case is fitted with the company’s signature brass lock and corners, and has a dark brown lining that complements the Trophy’s rich gold.

Like all Louis Vuitton special orders, this Trophy case was made at the company’s original workshop in Asnières, which opened in 1859.
The case opens at the front and at the top to allow the Trophy to be removed easily when, at the final on 11th July in Johannesburg, as watched by many millions of people across the globe.

Spain is not the only winner of the 2010 World Cup.
Louis Vuitton has officially made it into sports history with this product placement.
The FIFA trophy was presented on the Soccer City Stadium with the LV monogram case, by Fabio Cannavaro, captain of the former 2006 World Cup Champion, Italy, as he kissed the Trophy goodbye, before it was handed over to Iker Casillas, captain of the victorious Spanish team.

 As hot as the LV casing might be, I have to say Fabio is indeed hotter!

Song of the month

Still about Fifa 2010..yes.. the hype has not faded yet..
And it's actually my current ring tone since the beginning of the Fifa season..
And Arif's favourite song for the time being too..
None other than Waka-waka by Shakira..

(WAKA WAKA by SHAKIRA)

You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
And back in the saddle

You're on the front line
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isn't over

The pressure's on
You feel it
But you've got it all
Believe it

When you fall get up
Oh oh...
And if you fall get up
Oh oh...

Tsamina mina
Zangalewa
Cuz this is Africa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa

This time for Africa

Listen to your god
This is our motto
Your time to shine
Dont wait in line
Y vamos por Todo

People are raising
Their expectations
Go on and feed them
This is your moment
No hesitations

Today's your day
I feel it
You paved the way
Believe it

If you get down
Get up Oh oh...
When you get down
Get up eh eh...

Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa
This time for Africa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh

Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa

Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka Waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa

Not as expected.

Sad to report that the new system go-live today was not a success.

Day 1 = discovered several glitch here and there.

 

Wishing for a better Day 2, tomorrow.

And the winner is...

History is created in the soccer city, South Africa today..

The crown for FIFA 2010 goes to..

VIVA ESPANA !!

Thanks to ANDRES INIESTA for his fabulous shot at the 116th minutes into the extra time!

Making the final score Spain 1- Netherlands 0.
Making SPAIN celebrates its first World Cup!
Making the Champions of Europe, is now the Champions of the World!

This makes Spain the second nation in history (after Germany) to hold both the European Cup (2008) and World Cup in the same season! 
What a spectacular heart wrenching end to an outstanding World Cup final.

See you in another 4 years, in Brasil !!
