The weekend...

Gotten myself really busy with work in the past few weeks, even working from home on weekends.. The project was completed and deployed last Sunday.. I'm so glad.. It's been so long since I had a relaxing weekend and this weekend has been great, able to spend quality time with my loved ones without having to think of work now and then.. We had morning dim sum leisurely.. we ride around doing chores.. we went to pasar malam.. we walked and shopped and ate some good food. It's really a wonderful time and it's my wish that we can always be happy, that's basically what's priceless to me.. appreciate every moment I had..

Wish you a happy week ahead k!

Unagi Pizza at Pasta Zanmai, Mid Valley

First time seeing a 16% discount in a timepiece shop..

What a difference surprise this time around..

Both of us set our eyes on it. Guess we make the same comment.. 'Yerrrrrrrr..'

They really doesn't have much taste, be it at their will or they're force to abide to the city council's requirements/wants/likes whatever you call it.. It's just a lousy piece of art.
Like how Wernn quotes it 'Rich people has no taste'. Weird as it is, to some extent, it's very true.

Maybe you like it and will appreciate it, but not for us. Darn, it really manage to spoils the first sight of Pavilion in my mind and heart, which used to be elegant and classy, simple yet sophisticated. There's just so much you can do at the open space.. Hold some events, promos, new openings, a gathering place, a lawn, a playground, a yoga place.. whatever it is, darn.

There you go, you've just successfully added another 'piece of art' to uglify KL.

Before.. Best picture I can get from the web, courtesy of Wikipedia,
regretted never taken a proper shot of Pavilion in the olden days.

Pavilion KL as it is now, with its new addition,
the so-called Unity Fountain with carvings of hibiscus..

The 'piece of art', of course as abstract as the word 'ART' is,
the beauty lies in the eye of the beholder..
Please enlighten me on the meaning of these 3 gigantic pots in a fountain, so I can appreciate it better?

Surprise!!

So cute isn't ?

I received it! Thanks tim tim! It's so so cute and and it's Mickey.. I wish I'm there too ya.. It must be so exciting surrounded by all the cute funny cartoon characters... hehee... Thanks again for the card!

Choya for us...

I knew I've fallen in love with Choya the first moment I tried it... It's a sweet & sour ume taste liquor with a tingling relaxing effect..
So, Wernn bought the Original Choya at the airport recently and we've been enjoying it. Then Wernn told me that it's nice to simply mix it with some soda water... So, I've got the opportunity to try it out today.. Indeed, it taste great.. Just love it.. Its aromatic taste, hmm... just lovely.

We can mix it with green tea, orange juice, longan juice.. ah, and the Choya promoter I met at Subang Parade told me that she even cook Wine Chicken with Choya.. That's interesting.. She offered me a free tasting of the Original Umeshu with shiso herb (red colour) which is good for ladies. It relieves fatigue and helps our body to regain energy and vitality.

This site has more info on Choya Umeshu and I'll gonna try some of their drinking ideas.. Or if you're lazy to make your own, why not head over to Pasta Zanmai. The last time I was there, I saw that they have a wide variety of Choya drinks.
Till then.... enjoy ur drinks!

Surprise!!

Thanks heaps to my dear friends! It was a big surprise to receive this postcard from Cambodia today.. It's been more than a month since you guys&gals are back home, but this late greeting just make it more meaningful!

That's a message for a friendship forever! A toast for us and more gatherings in the future ya!

Driving home..

Today, I left office around 7+.. Traffic was good, because it's getting late and furthermore it's a Monday.. Everyone's still blue and should have left office earlier..

Normally around this time (around 8pm), there's something I will always see (90% of the time)... Hehe, don't worry, it's just the cops.. Tonight, I saw 2 of them by the roadside talking to the driver.. di da di da.. poor them, kena again.. It's quite easy to spot them at this hour, I guess because it's their end-of-shift hours? I just guess that..
I notices a lot of the police bikes cruising around highway/town at this time. Maybe they're going home, so while they're at it, my as well check out illegal looking drivers/drivers talking on phone but without handsfree/drivers sms-ing/people speeding away..

Do you guys notice this too near your area? Be careful ya when you are driving around 8pm, who knows, they're watching us!

Seven Pounds, Shinjuku Incident, Fast & Furious 4

Hmm, have been catching these 3 movies the last few weeks.. I'd went for Seven Pounds after my colleague told me that it was a good movie.. Good as it is, but I think it could have been better. The story line is indeed touching, but it was just a waste on how the movie was brought out to the audience. I have to say I slept in the early part, so were the few people sitting around me. It was moving at a slow pace, and had everyone guessing in the darkness of boredom. I'm pretty sure this was the director's intention, but I'm such a lousy audience, I should have waited till HBO/Starmovies air this movie.
Memorable part of the movie: Will Smith humming the song "Loving You"..

The next 2 movies I'd watch, was totally different from Seven Pounds. Fast paced, action packed, 18PL movie.. Shinjuku Incident to me was interesting, for there are many elements in it. Love story, brotherhood, gangsterhood and there's a moral of the story, that we reap what we sow. Memorable part of the movie: The scene where Daniel Wu was given a chestnut cart as a present, I saw the happiness on everyone's face...Only if the money was coming from a clean source...
Fast & Furious 4, was fine too, thanks to the cars, very CGI-packed actions, the cool Vin Diesel, the pretty sister and Braga's girl. It got me thinking, are the bad guys always bad? Or are they turning bad because they have no choice? Or when we have a situation, should we settle it quick rather than sit on it?
Memorable part of the movie: How they survive the racing in the tunnel ordeal.

So, for me, movie is meant to be entertaining and for us to learning something out of it, for us to see how impressive CGI has become and how filming can be so imaginative..
What about you? Had any good movies recently? I hope you had spend some quality time on it.. :)
Cheers..
