Rock me!
I'm sorry, I can't help it. I'm so in love with my new perfume by Anna Sui --- Rock me! Sigh. Loving the guitar-shaped bottle (and the sweet smell) to bits!
“Rock and roll is so much a part of my life that I wanted to capture its energy, independence, and playfulness in a fragrance that would let every girl be her own rock star.”- Anna Sui
As I said, I can't help it.
Beyawesome.
Note: The picture was taken by my colleague at Port Langkasuka in Langkawi, today.

Why I like It Longer?
The world today is not a safe place. We hear this everywhere, everyday.
Everyone's getting meaner. Aggresive. Competitive.
Everyone wants to be a winner.
The Revolutionist Vs The Intellectual
The Serious Vs The Playful
Qwerty Vs Touchscreen
Every little thing matters; mail to mail, phone to phone, browser to browser, and thumb stroke to touch-tap.
So what's the buzz all about?
...
The world today is not a safe place.
That's why I need a reliable companion.
A companion that's not just tough but smart, wide yet sexy, rough yet classy.
A companion that is simply...longer.
Yes, size does matter. Still.
...
The LG Chocolate phone (BL40).
Some say it's super.
I call it different.

My birthday
On the 7th of January, 1981.
And as you get older, the birthday presents that you receive will somehow be more meaningful or "connected" to you. One of the birthday presents that I got this year is an oil painting starter kit. It's from my workmates.
It's my first time to use oils as a medium and I must say the experience is way different than acrylic, crayons and watercolours;
It's still a WIP. I hope I'd be able to define the objects better to finish it.

Ipoh mali, Ipoh, Ipoh mali!
Happy New Year!!! ;)
It's never too late to wish a happy new year to everyone when we're still in January, no? Not like we have four seasons to really differenciate that ;) So what's up 2010!
Anyway, visited my boyfriend's hometown in Ipoh on the second day of January. It was about three hours long drive up North from where we live. Just like any other places in Malaysia, the scenary of the road trip would mostly be oil palm plantations, kampung houses (if you go through the small roads), fruits stalls at the side of the road, and the likes. It's the second time we went up North in the past three months; again I was disturbed by the sight of the blasted limestone hills and some other massive quarrying work going around it. Yea call me a development-pooper, but I seriously could hear the hills crying for help everytime I pass them by. Sigh. Anyhoo, our first stop in Perak was Teluk Intan (was known as Teluk Anson during the British era). My boyfriend grew up in Teluk Intan and he was so excited to show me around ;) We didn't spend that long in that little nice town though, but I managed to see the famous "leaning tower of Teluk Intan". I thought it was a really cute building; a popular giant short and fat tower--- a building with attitude ;)
We headed to Ipoh after the short trip at Teluk Intan. We took the small road to Ipoh and again, we discovered another mild yet depressing somewhat like a natural disaster---we saw at least nine porcupines dead splat on the road :( They either going out from the oil palm plantations (and tried to cross the road with revving cars) or into. Not really the scene that you would want any below 10s to see. It's just so sad.
We reached my boyfriend's parents' house in Ipoh at lunch time. We were welcomed by a home cook lunch meal by my boyfriend's mom, it was delicious indeed! Since it was only a night trip, we had to leave for our next place to visit just after tea time.
Our next destination was Kellie's Castle. It's located in Batu Gajah; about 20-mins drive from Ipoh. I first learnt to know about Kellie's Castle from Harmony Silk Factory a fiction written by Tash Aw. Then I saw another review in Travel 360 magazine about 10 scariest places to visit in Asia (or something like that). Well, maybe I've set my mind that the place is freaky but I thought that the mansion is just too "cold" to be somewhat standing in the middle of nowhere. Take away the highway and the small entrance ticket counter below the castle, the building is just so... "alone".
Kellie's Castle was conceptualised and built by William Kellie Smith, a Scotsman who arrived in Malaya in 1890 and made a fortune through the mining industry (of which were booming back then). With the fortune made, he then married his wife in Scotland, and moved back to Malaya after. Only after the second child Smith intended to expand his mansion and build the castle. Smith chose only the best bricks and tiles for the castle, all imported; and he even (almost) had the first bucket lift in Malaya in his castle. So to cut long story short, the history says that the castle is never completed due to the Spanish flu outbreak from Europe to Asia killing most of the workers and the death of Smith himself due to pneumonia during his visit to Portugal in 1926. And so the grieving wife packed her bags and left the castle unfinished, for her homeland.
...
The castle stands still and strong 'till now. The feeling was just different when you're in the abandoned castle. It's almost as if you feel the presence of the past. I tried not to let silence take over any second when we were there. I tried to catch up with the other visitors (although my boyfriend was with me too) but the least I did was to walk and move at the same pace as the other visitors so we won't be left alone behind. Or will you ever be alone in the castle?
...
Oh well! Other than the limestone hills, Ipoh is also well known for its food! So the next day, we went on a food hunt around Ipoh town! We had the chicken rice and the famous Nam Heong original Ipoh white coffee. They're not only great, but they're cheap too! Dangs! Wished could extend the trip longer since I have yet to try the famous hor fun and the snow beer! But time was not on our side. Monday was approaching. Bleh.
The trip ended on a rainy Sunday evening.

Pisau Cukur
Yea it was the first Malay movie I watched in the cinema after Jurassic Park 1(!). Yes, that long. Not that I don't support the local talents/industry or what not, but I guess I've fallen into the group of which stereotyping the quality of our local movies today (sad); being lame and...just having poor quality.
HOWEVER, Pisau Cukur gave me a different watching experience altogether (perhaps because I know one of the leading actors in the movie matter-of-factly). But no. Watching Pisau Cukur is like watching any of those American *chick flicks with familiar faces i.e. House Bunny, Legally Blond, Shopaholic, to name a few. Those movies are predictable yet they got you to stay back and watch 'till the end (gotta be biased here 'cos I do watch these kinda movies okay).
Here goes...
Pisau Cukur is a movie about two young girls whose typically dreams are to be married with rich (old) men i.e. Datuk, Tan Sri, etc. Unsatisfied with their mundane lives on land, they went for a holiday cruise instead; one (Bella) hoping to find that "Prince Charming" on the ship and the other one (Intan)...well, she just wanted to go for a holiday cruise (since it was a sponsored vacay). Blah, blah, blah, Bella finally met the prince charming (Datuk Hisham) on the cruise but the brief relationship was disapproved by his sister (Yasmin Yusuff), Bella got frustrated and realized that she doesn't need a rich man for a promising future of her (unborn) children; and at the same time met Faqir, an average Joe on the same ship who's like madly into her after seeing her from a TV show (or something like that). And while all these drama going on, Intan on the other hand was busy assisting a handsome private investigator (Ari) to solve a murder case of the infamous womanizer (Datuk Zakaria) who was also happened to be holiday-ing on the same ship with his family (three wives and two kids). Bleh.
Yea so that's the storyline. Simple, yet I really like the way the filming was done, the blending of the colours, the setting and the casting; for the first time I think they've done it right. Oh it's like Mamma Mia the movie. If Mamma Mia has Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth; Pisau Cukur has Dato Rahim Razali, Khatijah Tan and Eizlan Yussof.
Fun. Go and watch it. It's worth watching. Ignore the judgmental voices in you for once.

Oktoberfest @1U
Yea I know.
It's been a month since my last entry. Been really tight up with work and life (guess I'm still adjusting myself to a new routine i.e. being in a relationship and all). Not that I'm complaining, but I tend to express myself more when I was single (sobs). So since I have *Buh-bubs in my life, I'm slowly shifting my attention to other things---a more like doing-things together kinda things. Bleh.
That aside, One Utama had its regular Oktoberfest celebration on Oct 29-31. I was a first-timer to this event although I've been hearing stuff like, "you can get beers at RM1 per mug and stuff" from friends since forever. So this year, I **went all prepared for the RM1 beers, only to found out that the promo only applicable to OneCard members. And yea true, you could get beers at RM1 (2 50 cents coin) per bottle BUT it's limited to per bottle per member per day. Bluweks. Again, I'm not complaining here because for three-days we had beers like enough to feed the whole Sabah---with or without that promo.
Yea so the whole whacking beer thing was fun BUT the most exciting thing of all is, I won a Sony Ericksson handphone from a not-beer-drinking competition! Well yea the concept is as similar as the "wet t-shirt" competition, but I didn't get wet (phew) and only my opponent did (poor girl). It was a simple game i.e. we had to choose four bottles of opened beers and if we get it right, we get to pour it onto the other player. The catch was, we were told to stand far from the table of beers---so that we couldn't really see. Guess I didn't catch that because I could sense all the opened bottles from far. I call it a beer-drinker sense ;p
So yea, I won a new handphone.
Other than a lot of (imported) beers and also my newly won handphone, there were other acts as well i.e. Prema Yin, John's Mistress, ***Superbar, etc. Oh and yea, how could I forget, those silly "German" dancers. Omg. Still trying to get over them. Horrendous.
Peace.
