Cakes!
Urban, the supplement that comes with the Straits TImes every thursday is one of the best things that ST has ever done (in light with improvements which are expected year or year) It has positioned itself as rather Atas, what’s with the latest in fashion (usually high fashion not normally high street) and also the goss from Fash Hag.
Fashion aside, you know what I really like? the 3rd last page from the back which also features interesting snacks/foods alike by this lady who looks rather plump from the picture in the column. BUT HEY! She probably is a food coinessiour (Wrong spelling but i dun remember the correct one, hah) and the stuff she writes is damn convincing. Like last thursday’s feature on cakes, there are 2 cakes i like to single out. Canele Caramel creme or some sort (Which the writer apparently feasted for 2 weeks in a row and its costs $8+ per slice) and the Coffee+durian combo from Emicakes. Shit man, i cant wait to lay my hands on them!! Just go read the review if you can and do stay tuned for next week’s issue, Im quite sure there will be some gems which she will recommend. I am greedy and I love to eat! Damn!
Rumer Willis versus Pete Wentz
Awful Plastic Surgery
I was just browsing through Xiaxue (Wendy Cheng)’s blog and I found this rather interesting link.

enjoy!
Activities on a off-day
I took leave on friday, just to take a break from work, catch up on sleep and basically spend the day in the most leisurely manner I possibly could. So after breakfast, my love and I headed down to the History Museum. It was nice and I like the audio companion which we had. The only downside was that the air-conditioning was really cold and it made us cold and hungry. Haha. Loved the Spiral Staircase!
The Dark Knight
So this is a highly anticipated show for various reasons. Its a summer blockbuster and Heath Ledger is starring in it. I never really quite think summer blockbusters are that great and when I think of summer blockbusters, i think of Men In Black, Independence Day, Transformers, Spider-man, you get the drift. No offence to these shows and I njoyed them but you dont really feel anything for them, you know what i mean? For The Dark Knight, I was reallly looking forward to watching it (right, nerdish!) or maybe the trailer was just well-made…erm.. IN ANYCASE, i was just basically excited and so I had to watch on the opening night, 2 nights ago.
It did not disappoint, i love the show to bits! The characters all acted well, the movie soundtrack was appropriate and Heath Ledger, seriously, he scared me. He was really creepy and I was just totally grossed out on him waving his dagger and threatening to slice people from the sides of their mouths. CRINGE. Can you imagine how fucking painful that will be if that happens to you, shit man, i couldnt bear to watch. I was literally squirming in my seat. Andrew can attest to that.
The show is also 2.5 hours, and there is never a dull moment. Explosions and stuff. I dont know why but the walls in the theatre at one point were vibrating, cos the sound effects were soo loud (but good cos it felt like you were there in the scene), like the clubbing scene for example.
The only letdown was probably the fact that they cast Maggie Gyllenhaal cos she aint such a babe, but hey, not exactly a drawback cos she didnt act horribly so Im gonna let this slide.
The director, Christopher Nolan is also another interesting mention cos there is this other show I watched called Memento (which he directed) and I enjoyed it too. The story is kinda warped cos its told backwards and the main lead had to start tattooing/writing words on his arm so he can remember exactly what he did.
Ok, enough of me rambling on and on, just watch the show already. You should enjoy it as much as I had.
Fish Spa in KL
Ive always wanted to try out the fish spa, especially since Ive read fab reviews about what it does to your skin. Its supposed to work wonders for people with dermatitis (i think its like a more severe version of eczema and i have eczema) and even if its not going to make my eczema better, than at least i get the dead skin on my heels eaten away.
Anyway, so i went with andrew and then both of us were like thinking, what the hell, it cant be that bad right. BUT BOY! was i wrong, it was seriously rather scary, coz the fish were extremely eager and each time the feet went in, they just came over, like they were super hungry or something. And after getting used to them sucking the skin off your feet, we had to bear with the ticklishness. Gosh, anyway, the pictures and video say it all.
tired
Just had dinner and milo ice cream and i cant keep my eyes open, no matter how interesting (The Bourne Identity is). Or maybe because I had too much carbs thats why I’m feeling sooo drowsy! I like spinach tortellini man. Yums!
Watched HellBoy 2 today, it aint half as bad! The Barry Manilow song was pretty amusing..next up, The Dark Knight and Red Cliff. Heh.
Winners!
My love plays in a local football league and yes! they won another match today, It was really close cos they only had 10 men (1 person was sent off unfortunately) but boy did they deliver! The margin was 1-0. Anyway, im really glad they won cos there was this really pain-in-the-ass girl (on the opposing team) who kept on talking. Each time i looked over, her mouth was moving. Gosh. And she was basically just repeating whatever everyone said, Ref, sub!! blah blah blah. Boy was she irritating, i so wanted to jab her with my umbrella. Just like what Britney Spears did to her car during her melt-down, but of course knowing that i should be more civil, I didn’t.
The opposing team had some oddballs too, like someone with his jersey half-rolled up, exposing his white, pudgy stomach. Nice, mister. He looks like a cross between, a butcher and a Pig. And because of his physique, its no surprise that he was NOT running around like everyone else. He just stood around shouting commands, or maybe he is just a lousy player. Then again, i won’t be surprised. And then I noticed a midget on the field. Woah and i thought I was short. This guy was like 1.4m man and the biggest mistake he made was removing his shirt and then everyone can now see his torso clearly. And it looks so bizarre. Haha.
Anyway, im just glad the boys won, Waay to go FC 2024! More goals in the next match please. I want to see the trophy!!!
vegetation
sometimes its good to just do nothing and completely vegetate. u know, like just sleep, wake up, eat, lounge around, watch tv, snack, sleep, then watch tv somemore. i kinda like this really, doing completely nothing once in a while. Relaxes you and then i can stay home and do lots of facials and get lots of sleep. Lots of sleep also makse my complexion better. I realised ive been rambling maybe my brain’s been fried from too much tveee and potato chips. And i actually stayed home on a saturday. A weekend, can you imagine. But thank god for cable, the tv programs on non-cable channels absolutely suck, its even worse than friday i think. Its a govt conspiracy to get people to go out and spend and contribute to the economy.
Anyway, too much of vegetating is no good, and I’m glad that my love’s work at amk sec is finally over! Then i can spend time, vegetating with him, no la, just kidding. I want to go eat belgian waffles at beach road!!
