Selamat Berpuasa

Leave a comment

Puasa or fasting has began 2 weeks;  just before the actual day of Hari Raya which falls on 10th September 2010. It is compulsory for the Muslims to fast for a month. During the entire fasting month you can get assorted Malay delicacies sold in Pasar Ramadan. Example; cooked dishes, wide range of kuih muih, noodles and assorted rice. For those who are on business, they will normally set up their stalls by 4pm and closes at ‘waktu berbuka puasa’; about 7pm.

As for me, I do look forward to join in the fun on the pasar ramadhan. Because I can get huge range of food under 1 roof. 😉

Here are the food I managed to try.

roti jala

ikan bakar

murtabak

cakes

ikan bakar bercili

kuey teow goreng

Otak-Otak

kerang bercili

popiah goreng bercili

ayam percik (Malay style BBQ Chicken)

siput sedut / balitong

I wish all my fellow Muslim friends, SELAMAT BERPUASA!!  🙂

moving forward

Leave a comment

I’ve being thinking of this journey for quite some time. Just that I have no idea where is my starting point, how should I move forward. Apart from interest; there’s lots more to make it succeed. I’m very delighted that I have partners who are sharing the same interest as me and have the courage to take one step ahead. Everything is not easy. If you do not take the first step; you wouldn’t know it!

I have no idea how far it could be, No idea how far could it expand, No idea how much of crowd could I bring in.

All we hope is to provide you with best quality products & in-trend collections. If you think we deserve so; please support us at The M.A.W.or

Well….I’ve always like to try different type of hairstyles.

I like changes on my look when I gets bored on the same old style.

However I’m restricted to only certain hairstyle due to my chubby face  :-p

(not ideal for very short hair) 😦

I do understand that hairstyle does play an important role on a person’s look.

Need you help here….what do you think?? Which hairstyle would suit me MOST?


CHOICE A

-the medium length layered cut-


CHOICE B

-Bob style with long fringe-


CHOICE C

-Bob with short fringe- (current hairstyle)

DISAPPOINTED…..

2 Comments

A disappointed Sunday…..

There was MAPEX Fair held in Midvalley Exhibition Hall on 16-18 July.

Therefore Alex & I decided to pay a visit to check out the fair, to see if there’s anything that we could scout on our house hunting. We reached there at around 12.30pm. We were really surprised and went “HUH!, so small hall only?? Never mind lor….walk walk and see what do they have.” Walked 1 round (within less than 1 hour); KAUTIM!

Disappointed! Its either the locations not suitable or the type of property not suitable. We preferred to get a landed ones. But all they have mostly are condominiums. Mostly are so high density summore. We wanted to look for Subang area. Unfortunately mostly are in Bangi, Klang, Shah Alam. 😦

Fine then; we gotto think of second plan since the fair doesn’t works.

La Senza sales started on the same week. I thought probably I can get some new inner wears. Disappointed again! The sales wasn’t attractive at all…*sigh* Walked out from the shop and went for a drink instead. After a drink at ‘sweet chat’, then I went over to ‘COTTON ON’. Wah….I’m very surprised to see the only ‘COTTON ON’ with not much crowd ler….. Unlike the one in PAVILION & SUNWAY PYRAMID! So crowded!!

Managed to grab something I like here…Hooray..a reward for myself for the day! (less sad jor).

At around 6pm we left the mall; planned to send my brother back to his college in PJ. Planned to go pasar malam near his staying place in Taman Paramount. Mana tau….it was raining!! 😦 😦 Another disappointment! Had our dinner in Taman Paramount. There’s a popular hokkien mee there. Gave it a try. (will be on next post). Luckily the rain stopped after our dinner. Hooray!! Though there’s so many disappointment; but it ends with something nice too….. 🙂

admiring the beautiful landscape…….

4 Comments

What will you do when you were to be seated on the passenger seat, while the driver will be doing the driving?? Will you be sleeping? Munching tit-bits? Read a novel? Chit-chatting? Did you ever admire the beautiful landscapes or scenery along your journey?

I used be sleeping if I’m on a long distance journey. But not now. Because I would like to accompany the driver (Alex) or else he might gets bored or felt sleepy. ^_^

Though he will be saying its ok larr….but I do understand that you will feel more alert if someone would be keeping you accompany. Therefore, what I will do now to keep myself awake or alert at the same time, I will try to capture the beautiful landscapes view from my car. At times,you may not be able to witness them from your house nor even from you office. Throughout the journey, you may witness the changes of clouds, changes of the sky color. So, why not “STOP & STARE”.

Here are some beautiful sky, landscapes that I manage to capture during my recent trip. 🙂

this was taken when our car stopped for the ‘red light’-near my house


the formation of clouds; looks as though its snowing over the mountain


the beautiful cloud patterns on the sky


huge rock mountain near Ipoh

Happy 2nd ROM Anniversary

1 Comment

My ROM date marked on 14 June. This year should be counted as 2nd year. We did not really celebrate the 1st one, as we both were busy preparing our wedding on last September. So, this round also we had a simple one only though since we just return from Korea trip (pocket kena refill sikit). Thought of getting some nice hotels to spend a night. But the nice ones are so costly. ie; Sunway Resort, Traders Hotel, etc. With the price of around RM500 per night(just to tidur); I’ll rather spend a lil bit more extra on the Legend International Water Home with private swimming pool lagi best! Hor….Alex hor…**I’ve hinted liao….next trip yea…yea??**

Our last resort; booked CITITEL Midvalley (superior room)-good location with affordable price , booked buffet dinner over Sun & Surf Cafe of Sunway Resort-recommended by Wanyi.

Duan Wu Jie

1 Comment

Today; on lunar calender(5th day of 5th month) marked Duan Wu Jie(端午節) or better known as Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, rice dumpling(粽子) will be the main role, where you can see traders selling them or some people will prefer to custom made it. Actually there’s a story behind this festival. Besides that; there are various types of rice dumplings & even different methods of wrapping.

The link above shown the ordinary or traditional types of rice dumplings. Some people may opt for a luxury one. But it may cost a bomb. Because it consists of expensive ingredients such as; abalone, dried oyster & etc.

these are the rice dumplings I had today

the cross section: pork, beans, mushroom, salted egg yolk

**WISH ALL MY FRIENDS HAPPY Duan Wu Jie(端午節)**

how much do you miss your BARBIE & KEN Dolls

1 Comment

Barbie & Ken used to be very popular among the children,teenagers & adults I suppose. Nevertheless; it still remain its popularity till this decade. I recalled them as my childhood game. How I filled my time by then, playing with my sis & my neighbor. All of sudden, I’m missing those days, where you normally dress your barbie in the most stylish wear, comb their hair, twist its body, date barbie with ken. Ewww…I wish I have the time machine! Dad used to present Barbie for me & my sis as Christmas present. Can’t explain the excitement during that time. I can still remember how excited I was whenever dad would to bring us to Toy’s R Us shop. It was a huge toy shop in Subang Parade. (but now has the shop size has shrunk *sigh). Just like other kids you see these days, wide smile, pulling their parents over their favorite section. So enlightened when I saw a wide range of clothing, dolls, houses, accessories & etc. My parents couldn’t afford to get me big bungalows for my Barbies (so, my barbies only live in a basket/box) couldn’t afford to get luxury car for Barbie nor Ken (so, they just walk). Now that I can earn my own money, shall I buy some as a collection?? Hmm…..still doubting it…;-) I know the prices are expensive.

~I’m checking the latest design, see what have they improved…lets check them out here….

wahh…can change hair lagi!

she is a great shopper too??

so pretty…

OMG! so elegant…

wahh…ada anak pun…since when Barbie & Ken kahwin?? :-p

walau..check out the house. got swimming pool lagi!

my goodness….anjing pun ada..

**There are alot alot more…couldn’t post all of them here larr…..

Dogs, Life

Can I keep one puhhless….

3 Comments

I suggested to Alex, why not we keep a dog once we have our own house. Each time I came across cute dogs, I would turn over to Alex and said; I WANT ONE!!! I do have dogs, but its over my parents house. Dogs are really a good companion. Can accompany me while I’m alone at home also ma. I do admit that keeping a dog ain’t an easy task. Somehow the conversation continued again yesterday. It just came across my mind again. So, I asked Alex again over the phone. The conversation went this way……..

Mel : *Long;  can I keep a small dog at home when we have our own house? puhhless…

Alex : Huh…what happen if we would to go for holidays, then who’s going to take care of the dog??

Mel : We can put it to DOGS HOTEL. I’m sure KL would have alot!

Alex : Ohhh….okie then. But please don’t allow it to sleep with us in the room ok.

Mel : Harr….. but I can buy a nice little bed for the dog and place it in our room ma….

Alex : Then you sleep with the dog larr….

Mel : Huh..*jahatnya* !!!  *DENG* %#X!@  (but I know he is joking de larr…..ngek ngek)

Never mind…I pick my dogs first har….*Long* tengok sini yea….ini lar jejenis anjing anjing yang ku inginkan…hehehe.... 😉

MY TM Blockbuster

Leave a comment

My FM is having roadshows over several states; collaborating with TM. This week, on 23rd May, they had it in Jusco Seremban 2. Alex and I were quite curious about it, so we decided to go over there. The event begun at 2pm. We reached there at around 1.45pm, saw the long queue of car entering the parking bays of the mall. Worried we might end up rounding the mall to get our car parked, without any hesitation we parked our at the open area just opposite the mall. Though I brought my camera along, I did not manage to take many photos, because it was quite crowded. Moreover I did not stay back until the end of the event. They had several games for the audience to participate and of cos there were prizes for the winner. Then it continued with some performance by the guest singer and so on.

The present My FM DJs were Gan Mei Yan, Royce Tan, Jason and Jim.There’s a singer here named Will Ng 黄威尔 . Here are some snapshots of it.
