In Loving Memory of Michael Jackson, 29 August 1958 - 25 June 2009

I watched the repeat show of Michael Jackson (MJ) Memorial Service yesterday night at 8tv, as I had missed out the live show a day before (can’t wake up at 1 am to watch it). From the show, one must admit that MJ is really the King of Pop, and no one, no one will be able to replace his place in our heart. Many big celebrities and superstars attended, and even performed in front of MJ (he was place right in front of the stage of the hall). Superstars like Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, Usher, John Mayer, even Kobe Bryant and Mike Tyson!

MJ’s friends and relatives gave their speech, one by one on the stage. I personally was touched by the speech given by Brooke Shields, an ex-girlfriend of MJ (Just knew it from the today’s paper J). The way she expressed how she and MJ were life-long friends, things that they did together, and all the happy moments they had shared together had touched me. I am surprised that I actually felt really sad while watching the show. I cannot say I am the biggest fan of MJ, yes I listened to his songs, yes I sang his songs, yes I like his songs, but I know I am nothing compared to those who really really adores him, but still, I felt sad. I felt sad for him, felt sad for what he had gone through, felt sad for what he had been feeling. But now, all of us know, he is free from everything, and will be watching us from the top.

At the ending of the memorial service, everyone went up on stage and sang “We are the World” and “Heal the World”. Both songs are very meaningful and touching, especially “Heal the World”:

Heal the world, make it a better place,
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying, if you care enough for the living,
make a better place for you and for me, you and for me.

I know, the lyrics will forever be remembered by his fans.

God Bless You, Michael. You will always be in our heart, always.

Changing blog's layout

I had been changing the layout for my blog for the nth time but still I am not satisfied with all the layouts. The biggest problem with the layouts is where I can't edit anything inside it. I need to stick with the things inside the layout, whether I like it or not. Just because I had changed the whole HTML thingy, the things which I had included previously had been deleted completely. My background pictures, my picture slides are all gone because of the new layout I had uploaded.

Hence, I had been choosing a few layouts and I am still not satisfied with it. Sweat. And thus, I am using this layout called Dezembro1. I think for the time being, I will not add anything to my blog, as I have not decide which layout to use. I still feel templates provide by Blogger is still the best, even though it's a bit dull.

I just found out that one can actually set the timing to post their blog. Anyway, I haven't have the time to explore it yet. Will do it soon! Adios!

:::Makan Makan:::

BEWARE!! There will be lots of makan makan pictures in different places as I am too lazy to blog one by one, and hence the pictures are stacking up like mountain. Thus, because of my laziness, I will only post a few pictures from each locations. Bleh

Okay, back to the main topic. First station, Restoran Talipon. Had a mixed of BBQ and steamboat buffet dinner with the usuals, James, Nic, and aYee. Let the picture do the talking.

An introduction picture of our table :D

Lamb, pork, chicken, squid, ham, hotdogs, mushrooms, and the list goes on and on and on...

The dai dai bui carrot juice

Me with my food :DDD

aYee with her big mug of carrot juice

Nic with the carrot juice

James busy eating and no time to look at the camera

Second station: Seoul Garden in Mahkota Parade, Malacca. Another mixture of BBQ and steamboat buffet at a student price, RM 17 per person. The restaurant is named after a place in Korea, so i thought it will be something like Korean BBQ, but what I saw was all different types of marinated chicken, beef and lamb. Well, I thought I was having a chicken fiesta there.

Our grilled pot (I don't know what should I called this)

First round

While waiting for the meat to cooked

Drinking orange juice

Waiting impatiently for the meal to cook

Our meal includes a free flow of drinks

And also unlimited desserts

Overall, I am not quite happy with this restaurant, as the services are bad. When the drinks are finished at the counter, not one of the staffs care to refill it, and caused me to drink other juices other than orange juice. While I am eating, all I see is the staffs nicely enjoying their food behind my table, and laughing like nobody business. Can't even care for the feelings of the customers. And whenever we put some meat to the pot to be grilled, the drops of oil splash out and hurt my hand. This can't be happening!It is not user-friendly at all. Compared to this, BBQ Plaza is 100th times better! At least, I won't get burned by grilling the meat. No second time for this restaurant.

Next station, MMU's Creative Art Club Annual Dinner at Emperor Hotel, Malacca. The truth is I don't know anyone from this club and I attend this dinner because of my BF, and another reason is I thought I can dressed up nicely to attend some high-class dinner function. But, who knows the dinner ended up at a 3-star hotel's cafe (not even in the conference hall). Dissapointed, but what to do, I am already there. Initially I thought of wearing a dress, but I ended up wearing a blouse and long pants as I am being told no one will wear formally for the dinner.

Start to wallop all the foods

Next station: Penang Village in Berjaya Times Square. Had gone to a one-day shopping trip with my mom and sis, Kylie. Thus we ended up eating in Penang Village as Christine (currently working in Penang Village as an assistant accountant) asked us to go and have a try. Well...

Early in the morning before head to the bus station

Can't wait to taste the food

Lighthings..beautiful

Mother's Day promotion

Self-taken shot

Act cute

looks artistic

Soya Cincau, comes with the set meal

Penang Fried Kueh Tiao

The set meal cost RM 9.90 and after tax, it cost more than 10 bucks. You can judge yourselves whether it is expensive. Taste-wise, ok-ok lah. The kueh tiao comes in a bundle-like.

Next next station: Miu Kai, Sri Petaling. Had dinner with James and aYee and I just took the picture of my own dish.

Lightings

My ginger fish fillet rice.Taste very nice :D

The reflection of lightings on the table..artistic..

Next next next station: Yeh Lai Shiang, Mentakab. It's a mother's day celebration dinner, and supposingly we planned to eat in Tong Kiew, but as usual, it is closed so we ended up eating here.

Sweet and sour fish (i don't know what is this fish called in English)
We called it Hong Shao She Pan

All the dishes of that day
Clockwise: Hong Shao She Pan, Suan Mei Pai Gu, Diao Pian inYam, Jiang Chong Tian Ji, Salted Fish with Cai Dan, Jiang Pao Sheng Chang

We keep on wondering what is this, and at first we thought it is the tortoise shell.
Well, at the end, we conclude it should be the Water-fish shell :D

Overall, the dishes taste nice, and there goes the Mother's Day Celebration with our lovely mother.

Due to some other technical problem, this post had been kept for at least a week in the draft box and now, at last I managed to post it up. But I kinda forgotten whether there is still any pictures which I haven't posted. Anyway, will put up the updates if I found any. Hate the life without internet connection *grrr*

.::Movie Updates::.

At last, I managed to squeeze some time to watch 2 movies after the last movie I watched in Malacca, Fast and Furious 4. Forget to blog about it tho'. Pai-seh. This time, I watched Night at the Museum 2, in Malacca also with my BF. We had quite an expectation on this movie, as we also had watched Night at the Museum 1. Overall, this movie is funny, but not as funny as I had expected. I felt the only funny part is the character of the Prince of Egypt, Kahmunrah who wanted to have his throne back. Everytime he started to speak, I started to laugh :D Oh ya, I am impressed with the big museum where they filmed the movie. When can I go there......

Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian

I had watched Angels and Demons too, in KL, despite being stopped by my BF. I don't care. I am a fan of Dan Brown's novels, and I wanted to watch this movie badly (I had watched Da Vinci Code, too). Surprisingly, this movie is not as boring as the Da Vinci Code, even though I am not familiar with all the churches being mentioned in the movie, but I still vaguely remember the storyline of this movie, based on my understanding on the novel. It's quite a long movie tho', but I am satisfied. Anyway, need to thank Esha again and again, for lending me her books, both Da Vince Code and Angels and Demons way back years ago. Now, I am able to watch the movie. Satisfied to the max!

Angels and Demons

That's all bout the movie updates. Will blog about my trip to the Elephant Farm soon..

am BACK!

Sorry for neglecting the blog for such a long time. Lack of internet connection at home. Will posting up few posts soon, as pictures are still not available for the time being. Soon! Soon!

Updates of me:
1) Been starting to wear contact lenses, felt great and have full freedom!

2) Since I'm wearing lenses, I can wear sunglasses too! Shopped in Vincci and bought a pink sunglass! Waiting to wear it in PD trip this weekend! Syiok-nyer

3) I've been lepak-ing in Malacca now, and will be back to Kl in few more days. had stomach-ache today and BF gave me some medicines. Was shocked, and only realised he bought it purposely for me just in-case, as I always have stomach-ache while I am in Malaca. Is it just me, or the food here have problem? Anyway, am touched for the medicines. Am drinking the dehydration salt water now (orange flavour)

4) Bought a pair of sandals in Vincci as well, for the trip! 50% discount, thus can't resist myself

5) Bought another scarf, as I left it in my hometown. Jackets and sweaters are way too heavy to bring around.

6) Bought a new handbag, as my old ones had spoilt :P

7) Tried Nandos for the first time in Malaca with BF. Not bad :D

8) Bought a pair of odm watches. Fake-ones (no money-lah) :P Pink one for me, and white one for BF

9) Watched Night at the Museum 2 in Dataran Pahlawan, and looking forward to watch Angels and Demons in KL soon!

10) Watched a lame movie at home name Austin Powers. Wonder who will be so retarded to watch this movie in the cinema =="

That's all for now! Will be back soon!
