Of food and stickers

I've been so busy working lately and doing silly miscellaneous stuff. Nothing to show for really just some pictures taken while testing out my camera.The very first picture i took was this~ My room with the lovely powder pink Ikea furniture and "dance dance revolution' mat which i never use anymore and remains functionally as its name suggest~ a mat.

Hard work reading the damn thick manual.. as in my usual procrastinating nature never really got past the basic functioning instructions as yet~

Me having a new camera means~ JH gets photographed a lot more now~

Remember the lousy pics i took while illustrating my damn cheap stickers a while ago? Well they were to blurry to appreciate the stickers.. so here's a re mention of them darling stickables.

Theses are RM1.60 from Famili Mart.

And these my friend are only 60 sen each from Holiday Plaza.

Lovely glittery puffy stickers~

Love the foodie stickers~

Night scene of Slim River~

Real motive is to capture the Raya jam which i can see clearly from my place~

Wah already wat 10pm and still stuck in a slow crawl in Slim River? Damn kesian~

Okie so we were so bored with the food in Slim River one day JH drove us to the newly opened Secret Recipe in Tanjung Malim. Of course i brought along my camera.

In car also take photo.

Waiting for food also take photo.

At the traffic lights means photo time.

All right this post is getting really really incoherent , i'm just posting random pictures with no regards to place or time.. haha..Next up, Midvalley.

Ate at Pasta Zanmai for dinner~ and it was not great but not bad.

I ate the Mentaiko prawn squid lime thingy~ very light and it helped i did not feel jelak.

 In a set you get salad and miso soup.. not really worth getting the set in my honest opinion.

 JH of course got some creamy thing which a don't remember the name but tastes great fter i tried a bite but probably gonna get really jelak after a while.. and the meat (chicken i think) was salty.

All in all prices are around 20 per dish and service is pretty friendly and fast.

Word of advice though, dont order the special ices green tea cos it sucks. just order normal iced green tea and they give you a whole pitcher to share with a partner.

Thats all folks~

Chai Ai Jia victim of bias?

 So Ai Jia's amazing run at One Million is over with 5 outstanding PK matches.Due to her small girly frame and somewhat cute/act-cute(i dun see a problem with that) ways, she blew the judges over with her strong voice and her professional stage presence.However after the initial amazement of it all , the judges started getting critical and to me a tad bias?

Somehow they are always on the contestants side.Judge for yourself.





Yong Ling's voice just went out of tune at the beginning while Ai Jia gave a really strong performance for 'Xing Xing i'm not a Star'. For me there was really no contrast in singing abilities at all. But How come the extremely high marks for Yong Ling? Cos obviously being the last elimination PK match, they have to show their contestants are of high quality and able to beat the best of them.. cos if they all lose who will wanna watch when the PK segments are over?? And don't get me started on Li Jie Yu.. his whiny singing really p***es me off but he can tie with Anthony? Smells fishy if you ask me..

I actually won something?

Remember i mentioned that i actually won invites to the premiere screening of Up??Well i have fourfeetnine to thank cos i entered a contest she organized. And since the topic was so vast i just e-mailed her one of my previous blog entries on Friendster messages.. and waddaya know? Wooots i got this 'make my day' email.

Click to enlarge.

I have not won anything in ages so of course i was elated.. alas it was not meant to be..The initial showing was to be at Cineleisure Damansara.. and even though i was to be on call the next day, i was excited at the prospect of watching Up! at a premiere where there probably would be many celebrity bloggers.. JH was post call but he too said ok we can go. However at the very last minute the venue was changed to Pavilion of all places.

Obviously a nicer and more atas place to have a premiere at and probably not a problem for people from KL. However for both of us from Slim River it was not worth enduring the jam for.

So that is the story of why i won, why i was excited and why i had to let it go in the end.

JOnah call~

Just came back ffrom a horror back to back call~ you would think Raya time people will just give us a break right?? Wrong.. apparently people are more sick during Raya.. All departments were really busy not only the expected surgical department from the increase in motor vehicale accidents. Surprisingly there were no major road accidents (touch wood) maybe due to the fact that traffic was slow! I could see the highway massive crawl on Friday from my room window.

But the medical, Paeds and O&G department were damn busy!! Imagine people lose all common sense during the festive period it seems.I man drove from KL to pick up his wife from Mersing who was just discharged from hospital for premature contractions at 35 weeks. He then proceeded to dive back to KL. Then at 6 am in the morning they set off from KL for Perlis! On the morning itself the wife was already having contraction pains but being in the army he showed his bravado by deciding to continue with the journey despite knowing his wife was probably in labour. As the highway jams were at a slow crawl it took him 2 hours just to reach Rawang.. by that time the contractions should have been really strong.. In the end .. yup you guessed it he only managed to reach Tanjung Malim and was of course delivered in Slim River!

Ok so she delivered safely whats the deal? End of story?No remember the baby is premature.. and mother is group B streptococcus positive! Meaning i need to give anibiotics for 10 days to the baby plus the baby began to develop tachypnoeia shortly after birth.So there i was without a specialist thinking thank God i have a ventilator and that i can intubate him if the need arises and set a UVC and UAC ... and that i can manage him here when the father just  dropped the bombshell. 'Can my baby be transferred to Perlis?' Wah he thinks the hospital is a hotel with personal valet services? Firstly his baby is not stable, secondly ambulances during public holidays are for emergency purposes only. If my ambulance send a baby to Perlis taking 12 hours to and fro trip just because you have nowhere to stay in Slim River... then we can just ignore all the ambulance and emergency cases for half a day? Please poeple use your brain.

Really needed to explain to him multiple times before he got it. But no raising of voice on my part luckily~ really have to be sabar this time of the year. Luckily the child stopped being tachypnoeic and responded well to the antibiotics!

But the parents will just have to grin and bear it for 10 days and celebrate later.Should have thought about it before driving up lor~ and that is only once of the small incidents in my eventful back to back 48 hour call~

Hodge podge

Nothing particularly interesting happening except that i bought a semi-pro camera! Have been eyeing the lumix lx3 for ages and ages and was about to buy it last week in KL but stopped myself thinking Sg Wang would have a better price.. but waddaya noe it was sold out in Sg wang and Low Yat~ wah~ so geng mer? So i trawled Sun way Pyramid and similarly it seemed to be sold out in a week..hmmm So iwent to this shop and the guy told me lumix lx3 is not so great and that Ricoh GX200 is better yada yada and a semi-pro too.. hmmm.. i gave it some thought and went walking into SenQ. Lo and behold there was a Lumix Lx3 there but at 200 more than the normal price..Plus the sales girl really din noe much about the camera nor did she try to explain anything bout the camera. Hmm with the poor service and really i'm just impatient i bought the Ricoh GX200. Hmm still trying to read the manual to test the functions.. hehe.

Anyway here are some pics from JH's Iphone that i just downloaded.. seriously even though its only what.. 2 megapix?? the pictures are'nt bad at all.

Some Singapore Zoo pics~

Nice collage

Housing some memorable photos~He he he love this pic

And this~

Waiting in line to be kissed~

Love the open concept Zoo~seriously

Eats at Mos burger and pizza place in the Zoo.

Hmm why cant all Zoos be like that~ oh well anyway followed up with some shopping in KL.

To steam my face..bought it at a discount 15% indirectly thanks to JH.

And finally found the perfect pair of gladiator kitten heels for 78 bucks.

Great Raya deco at Midvalley~ Sort of like a 3D Lat comic.

And last but not least Frownies to keep all the frown lines away!!

I frown a lot especially in my sleep!

Time to save lor~

Love this song

Cos i'm banana but totally in love with Chinese songs, i just have to share this song and all its glory in 'pin yin'. Thanks so much to Sing K lyricz for making it easier for me to sing along!

Who looks like an actor from 'Heart of greed'! My mom's hooked on it btw~

Glad to know we may look different (prettier) now, everyones still as nice as ever! Never seen a catfight in my class ever... looking forward to seeing many many more sweeties in weddings to come!! Better buy more dresses!!

JB shopping as usual

My holiday has been one shopping centre after another.. haha i guess its not so much about 'going shopping' but more about visiting my childhood haunts like the ancient former 'longest shopping centre in Malaysia' Holiday Plaza in Century Garden. It has for some time become a haven of pirated DVD's. The last time i went about 2 months ago it was pretty empty but it was afterall a weekday.

Boy was i suprised to see the hive of activity there on Sunday! It was buzzing with people and everywhere i turned there were great bargains, lots of pirated goods and treasures to be bought everywhere! The place has branched into a designer bag knock-off emporium more even than Sg Wang! DVD's and CD's are a staple already but what really got me excited were the really cheap but good quality and diabetic cute stickers!

Come on where else can you find stickers for 6o sen each, and they are puffy glitter ones in the shape of food and hello kitty! MPH sells them for 4-5 ringgit! For the same amount of stickers, i could buy them at holiday plaza for RM1.20.. woots i should start a sticker selling business.. haha just kidding but i really like what Sticker Monster is doing.. cos i just love oggling at pretty stickables.

Sorry for the poor quality pics.. my old camera can really not take macro shots..

Its looks something like this but probably smaller... (pic courtesy of Sticker Monster)

But the actual reason why my mom took me there was because she wanted to show me this shop where every article of clothing was RM10 each.. haha i had a mental picture of what the clothes would be like and i also had a mental picture of what i would be buying even though i have'nt been there yet. Does that make sense? Well i guess i sort of know what type of clothes would be there and i do noe what kind of chep piece of garment i wanted to buy. Cos last month when i was reading Fourfeetnine i read that she was wearing a really cheap piece of dress and i think it looks really really nice on her. So i sort of guessed those kind of dresses would be there in Holiday Plaza. So i bought 2 one for me and the other for my brothers Gf. But his first reaction was 'Yuck!'!

Is this that yucky to you?

Ok so now i have to risk copyright infringement and show you how nice the dress can look when worn!

So nice lor!

Damn cute..My brother has no taste.

Really like fourfeetnine's blog. Cos she has just the right amount of girly nonsence and literary humour to make her blog such an interesting read!And she gave me free tickets to watch the premiere of Up which i sadly did not manage to attend cos of the last minute change in venue on the organizers part and JH was too lazy post call.. but thats another blog post! Must blog it cos its not everyday i win something haha.
