Oh.. I'm Ready For It!

Watched Snakes On The Plane on HBO a few days back with Darren. Movie was not bad. Really thrilling ,with all those snakes coming out from everywhere.

The only thing that made my day was the music video played at the end credits. It's titled Snakes On The Plane (Bring It) n it's performed by the lead singers of Cobra Starship, The Academy Is, Gym Class Heroes n The Sounds (all the bands that I like, except the latter.. never really heard they're songs before). Watch out for a cameo appearance by Samuel L Jackson n Pete Wentz (from Fall Out Boy).

Awesome song.. awesome mv! I'm totally addicted to the song now!

Snakes On The Plane

When a young man witnesses a brutal mob murder, it falls to FBI agent Neville Flynn to escort his charge safely from Hawaii to Los Angeles to testify. But in an act of self-preservation, the crime boss facing prison smuggles hundreds of poisonous snakes onto the commercial aircraft in a crate timed to release its deadly cargo halfway over the Pacific. Flynn, along with a frightened flight crew and passengers, must then band together in a desperate attempt to survive.

A Day at Bangsar

I was already done for the day by 10am, n I was actually waiting for time to pass till it's 2pm so that I could take the KDU bus home. But then, Darren called n said that his class was canceled n that he was gonna meet up with Krys n Elissa at Bangsar (the girls went there for a shopping spree since they've recently js finished they're final A Level's exams). Anyways.. I decided to tag along as well.

We first fetched Nicky DS to the KL Sentral Train Station n then went to park our car at a basement parking somewhere behind Bangsar Village. A really nice find.. the parking rate there was only RM1 per hour.

So we then met up with the girls who were shopping at Gossips. Since we were all starving, we went to have lunch straight away. It was unanimous that we would eat Japanese so we headed for Sakae Sushi at Bangsar Village.

I ate Chicken Katsu Don..

Darren, Krys n I shared it..

Elissa didn't like it one bit..

After a really delicious lunch.. we headed out to the streets of Bangsar for more shopping (well, only the girls actually). It was really tiring cus the sun was shining so brightly, the heat was extreme n most of the boutiques were all on the second n third floor of the buildings (lotsa stairs to climb)!

Anyways, we went from boutique to boutique n the girls tried quite a lot of clothes. Darren n I practically liked two shops called Mooie n Mocca (which were sister boutiques). They're shop interiors were really well decorated n designed. Both boutiques had a cafe inspired theme going on n Mooie also had a little playful side to the deco (lotsa soft toys n handmade monkeys all around).

After some tiring hours of shopping (walking in the hot sun.. the sickening heat.. all the stairs climbing), we decided to go get a nice cooling drink at Starbucks. I tried the new Dark Mocha Frappuccino.. yum!

Krys, Elissa n Darren were really satisfied with their day.. Krys (who bought the most) got 3 new pieces of clothing (from diff shops), Elissa bought a blue tee from Mooie n Darren bought something from Mooie too.. a handmade sock monkey. It's by Oooktopia n the monkeys are called Oooks. Best thing was Darren's one was a special edition cus it has clothes. I actually wanted to buy one too but the one I liked HAD to be purplish pink! Bummer right?!

Superstitious Nonsense

Today's Friday the 13th! Ooo.. bad luck!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a little info about Friday the 13th..

"A Friday occurring on the 13th day of any month is considered to be a day of bad luck in English, German and Portuguese-speaking cultures around the globe. Similar superstitions exist in Greece and Spain as well."

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

Well.. I'm not paraskevidekatriaphobic, but, as the Spanish use to say:

"Yo no creo en brujas, pero que las hay, hay!"

[I have NO idea what that means.. got it from somewhere..]

Have a safe weekend and be careful out there!

Randomly Created

"Oh Happy Day..!"

So proud of myself today. Cus.. for today's Food Production class, my lecturer started his plan of training us for our end of semester exams by making us cook Black Box style. For those who have no idea what Black Box is, it's a well-known cooking competition in the culinary arts world where chef's are presented with a black box (literally) containing a number of different ingredients. The chefs are then required to use all of the ingredients given to create their dishes.

So.. yup! We did today's class Black Box style. But just the what's in the box (I mean basket) part, which means we can only use whatever he has ordered from the suppliers. In the end I (somehow) figured out an appetizer that came out really nicely. My lecturer said mine was the best that day. Happiness is me!

Best still, the same thing happened at last week's class! Umm.. truth is, I actually got last week's dish and recipe from a cook book my friend brought. At least it turned out well!

Seared Scallops and Caramelised Apples

with Mint and Green Apple Purree..

Journey to the West

I recently won a pair of seats to meet and have dinner with Kylie Kwong n yesterday was the day of the dinner.

So.. after Darren n I registered, we were assigned to sit at table 13, which was right at the back. But then, luck was on our side cus an Astro representative came n asked us to kindly move to table 7, which was righty at the front near the VIP table. Best still, Kylie was seated right behind me.

Anyways.. before dinner started, Kylie was introduced to all of us through a short video clip. When she came out, she told us about the wonderful 2 days she has ahd at Malaysia n also introduced her new upcoming show,Kylie Kwong: My China (where she actually went back to the Kwong ancestral village in Guangdong n also visit 9 other cities/places in China).

Darren and I had a great time at the dinner. We really enjoyed the chance we had to meet her.
