One Of The Indonesian Best !!


I think by now , everyone reading my blog would label me as anti Malaysian music because i prone to Indonesian influence. The fact that they produce better music and freshier than ours...sorry ! Rio Febrian is one of the male Indonesian vocalist that i admire his singing style.
Thanks to Syed M. for getting me this 2006 album from Rio Febrian during his visit to Jakarta recently. His ballads are almost perfect and very soothing to my eardrum. Very very nice !

Awesome PGL Season #3


Teater muzikal Puteri Gunung Ledang beronakan Kedaultan Melaka sememangnya epik legenda dalam kamus sejarah negara. Pementasan dari Enfiniti group dari Datin Seri Tiara sememangkan semakin bertenaga dari versi pertama dan keduannya dulu. Sebab tu, tiket mahal pun masih mampu SOLD OUT.
7 of us pergi tengok hari tu ... Wahaza, Nizam, Chris Ling , Nandang, Stephan dan Pojie (Fauziah) dan termasuklah saya.. Marcus tak dapat join at the end.. rugi satu tiket.
Banyak improvement dari segi props. Nyanyian Stephen Rahman begitu bertenaga sehingga rasanya vokal dia menenggelamkan vokal pelakon lain. Kalau lah Dato' Siti yang turut hadir malam tu (dekat sangat dengan kita org) menjadi watak utama tentu paduan suara mereka lebih serasi. Satu lagi , nampaknya Bayan terlalu muscular pulak...ha ha. Yang lain cukup menghiburkan. Banyak jugak kelibat doktor doktor pakar HUKM yang tengok hari tu dan jugak selebriti seperti Sean Ghazi, Liza Hanim, Afdlin Shauki selain Dato' Siti dan Dato' K
Saya tinggalkan anda dengan lirik lagu tema pementasan ni yang sebenarnya dah dulu dirakamkan oleh Vince AF1...Keranamu Kekasih..
Kekasih jangan berduka
Yakin kita kan bersama
Hati ini satu walau jauh di mata
Ikatan cinta
Luhurnya dijiwa
Hati pujuklah perasaan
Jauhisegala keraguan
Sayang untukmu kukorbankan
Demi satu harapan
kepangkuan mu kekaasih
Keranamu kekasih

Hadirmu bagai cahaya
Damai redah dan gelora
Hati kita walau lara melanda
Asmara cinta
Tiada hujungnya

Hati pujuklah perasaan
Jauhi segala kesangsian
Cinta walau pun berjauhan
Kan ku kenang senyuman
Kerinduan ku masih
Kepada mu kekasih

The Cupcakes


Anyone loves cupcakes ?? Owing to their high calorie content, i usually have to limit them. A colleague of mine , together with his wife and two kids are really into making cupcakes. It helps to stimulate one creativity to place different style of decoration on top of the cupcakes. Their cupcakes i have to admit is getting better and better from day to day.



These are some samples of the cupcakes that they made..Look delicious right ? Yeah ..anyone interested can place their order..ha ha ha...Yummy but not to a health-concious people like me..

A Reversed Aging Process.... Anyone ??


An oppurtunity to watch this peculiar story about a reversed ageing process made me ponder what if i am given that option besides the normal sequalae of life. It is unexceptional to be born with kid's intelligent and 70 years old figure and then ,as life goes on, your version are becoming younger with more radiant look but mentally deteriorating. When it comes to love and family, that order brings such emotions that sometimes we can hardly even bear.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is simply an amazing story that glued me to the cinema seat for the 3 hours show. Cate Blanchett is the main actor as usual did an awesome acting performance in this movie. The setback of New Orleans old town showcased picture perfect scenaries.
Thumbs up for the movie. Emotionally- touched and beautifully -narrated, it is worth your money for this one. Go and watch it..A MUST !!

Hot & Cold


I am so addicted to Starbuck these few months and of course, owing to my definite obsession about getting lean and ripped, i usually order it without the cream. Apart from being a perfect place to meet your good friends and chit-chat about life and some serious stuff, they provide the hassle free wireless internet as well as the electric plug... Uuuuuu...again the brand supports the criminal in Palestine...i have to reduce the number of visit by now....

The pic above was taken few months back. A hot mocha next to a cold ice-blended mocha......what a glory !!

I am addicted to Kathy perry's single called HOT & COLD which i think is quite catchy and it is best to dedicate the song to people who are INDECISIVE ...ha ha.. (am i included ?? he he..nah ..i am not !!)


'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up

You, you don't really wanna stay, no
You, but you don't really wanna go, oh '
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
We used to be just like twins, so in sync
The same energy now's a dead battery
Used to laugh 'bout nothing
Now you're plain boring I should know
That you're not gonna change

CNY In Baba And Nyonya Style In The Historical Malacca Town

I was planning to go to Pangkor Island for some beach escapade and total rejuvenation during this Chinese New Year...but at last i cancelled it and with my friend , i headed my way to the historical city of Malacca where the the Baba and Nyonya population come from. They speak fluent Bahasa and the customes are the blend of chinese and Malays. Gosh.... it has been nearly 10 years since my last visit here. Beautiful CNY decoration all over the city main areas made my mood for CNY blossoming .





All the pics were taken by my compact camera as my stolen DSLR is not yet replaced by the new D90 (need to book for that model..errrr).





Menara Tamingsari where you can see the city view from up above the sky..beautiful !



Dataran Pahlawan Mall was very crowded with people from all over the world..




The ice kacang in Jonker's Street with the real Gula Melaka...yummy !!!




My friend modelled for my camera infront a beautiful building in Malacca town


Just inside the Pahlawan Mall..gosh..AM I GAINING WEIGHT ????? he he

I chose to stay in this boutique hotel ..very close to Jonker's Street and the popular Puri Hotel..., very affordable and yet authentic accomodation.... ok la....

Would You Sabotage Your Own Good Friend ??


I managed to catch 3 movies last week namely Inkheart, Underworld : The Rise Of The Lycans and last but not least Bride Wars. I had a good laugh while watching the weekend sneak preview of Bride Wars starring the petite Kate Hudson and the elegant demeanour Anne Hathaway. Basically it is a story of two childhood friends who are raised with special bond . Things become complicated soon after they realized that they are going to get married on the same date, same bunch of friends as the guests, same wedding planner and the same place !!!

They tried to sabotage each other wedding plans and eventually they discovered that they had ruined their long-lasting friendship just to prove that each one is superior than another. Hilarious story and it is good if you come to the cinema with your good friends' company and laugh it out together..




Certainly...i value the term friendship and to accomodate and understand each other is the key factor for an everlasting one. I will not sabotage them for sure...
