New Found Recipe

Ok so the fridge and pantry was empty, no groceries at all. All we had left was pasta, erm potatoes sprouting shoots, funions and lotsa garlic. So why not throw everything together and see how it'd taste like.

Step 1: Boil pasta in a pot.

Step 2: Cut potatoes and chop garlic and funions.

Step 3: Heat oil in pan.

Step 4: Fry chopped garlic and funions.

Step 5: Stir fry potatoes with black pepper and basil leaves.

Step 6: Add in fried garlic and onions.

Step 7: Remove from pan. Put boiled pasta in pan to fry for a couple of minutes.

Step 8: Add black pepper and salt followed by previous batch of stir-fried condiments.

Voila! And it's ready to be served!

Hmm pop music these days

Is it just me or everyone's going Gaga-style.

Note: rubber tight body suit, observe Beyonce's Single Ladies video and all most of Lady Gaga's videos.

And here's a piece of our tween queen, Miley Cyrus. For god sake that's not even her given birth name. I reckon she's kinda hot if only she'd keep her mouth shut. Tall, slim brunette hah! Notice her extremely pushed up premature boobies it looks like she can hardly breathe.

Typos and stutters

Ok typos are excusable especially with the words like 'your' and 'you are' or 'the' and 'they' but what about stuttering and getting your tongue all tied up as though the cat has got your tongue. I don't know about the rest of the population in the world but as for me I stutter a lot when I'm trying to tell a story to someone or when I try to explain something in detailed and I know everyone IS listening to me. I guess it's coz when you are with a different group of people the way you speak or communicate varies and you tongue has to get used to it but before you know it you're already with a different group of friends talking about different things hmm...

Any ideas on how to get rid of stutters? Or the common grammatical mistakes when you speak? The one thing I know is to speak slow and clearly but come on that wouldn't make your gossips juicier =(

3 months has passed by and here I am

So yea here I am back on the island on a week break before I officially finish my internship with KLue. It has been very rejuvenating after a 3 month plus long of work. My intention back here was mainly for the presentation in college but that was just for one day. Been up to lots of chillaxing and me-time yay! Let me attempt to summarize how the 3 montsh internship went coz I don;t want to be too naggy or long-winded.

It was really fun working with a whole bunch of KL-lites who happens to be really cool. It was great to have another intern with me on the team too, Jit but he finished within 2 months and went back to UK for studies. Other friendly 'ol interns in the office are of course, Joyce the marketing intern, Melanie who replaced Joyce and Gwen, TiC intern who came in in October. And of course there's Karen TiC writer and Krystle the marketing exec. A whole bunch of awesome girls making us a wholesome bunch heheee. On the editorial team, there's of course my editor, Wai Kit, then writers Myra and Zedeck as well as Sarah the events editor.

I remembered it clearly, on my first day I spent my first 2 hours spinning on my chair and facebooking before I was given a whole load of work to follow-up. And the rest of the 3 months with KLue was history =) an extremely good experience filled with tonnes of fun and laughters. Well, all I do is not only write, write and write; I cover events on a regular basis about 3-4 events a week. Sometimes it can even be 3 events a day, you'll see me running from Damansara to KL city back to PJ. All's fun coz it keeps me occupied and the learning experience was something I'd not trade for anything else. I was suppose to finish my period here, with KLue end of October but I was offered an extension which I decide to only stay one extra month. I figured I have to do different like go look for another job or go back to studies or hmm slack..... which seems like the perfect idea for now =)

Right now I've secured myself with two jobs where I'm weighing out the options and contemplating if I should dive into the working world immediately or go back to being a laid back student hmmm well, well. Okay, before I end this post I just have to say this, a dream I had last night sorta gave me a sign (I think so la) 'my supervisor' said I was articulate and maybe they should just create a position for me. What is that suppose to mean huh? Or is it just coz I've been having too much to think these days. Toooddllesss for now let me enjoy my last few days here in Penang.

Raygun revisited

Do you remember these guys who came to Malaysia for MTV World Stage Asia? Well, Look what I just found, they actually documented the day here and also clips of them performing on stage from an awesome onstage view.

Watch this crazeeeyoo video of the making of 'Waiting in Line'. They are hilarious I tell you hohohoooo! I'm just wondering why aren't they big BIG yet?! Hmm

G-Force aced it!

Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of US hit series, the CSI collection joins the big screen with...... a bunch of rodents? As spies? Whoah! whoah! Don't get taken away by this, read on about how a group of guinea pigs and a naked mole rat safe the world from destruction. Here are a few reasons to catch G-Force during this Hari Raya long weekend. WARNING! Spoiler ahead!

#1 Tired of action porn movies? G-Force is Disney's latest animation combined with high-tech spy gadgets(in micro size to fit the rodents) to make you tech junkies out there wet your pants. The highlights: an ear piece that transmit rodents' squeaky sound waves into our human language and get them to talk back to us, 3-in-1 hamster treadmill X ultra cool vehicle equipped with lightning speed, a fly/bug that is literally a bug with surveillance camera and sound recorder connected back to its base camp. Not forgetting THE gadget of the movie, thumb-sized PDA used to download and steal Saber's world domination plan which is then used to infect virus back into the super computer towards the end of the movie

#2 Be prepared for tonnes of pop culture instilled in the movie. Juarez, the only female in the team with a French accent rant about her complicated love interest typing away on her Facebook 'wall'. Lady Gaga's Just Dance and Black Eyed Peas party tracks throughout the movie. And see Bucky, the territorial hamster portraying Canadian stereotypes.

#3 Watch it in 3D! Been saving up RM16-18(prices vary between cinemas), for that one movie worth watching in 3D, forget about Final Destination 4, G-Force is a 2-in-1 movie with animation fused with real human acting. Get double of what you paid for! Personally, I thought Ice Age 3 in 3D was the bomb until I saw G-Force. The fur and features on the rodents are so real, also hooks, bullets, missiles and all sort of objects pointing directly at you makes you want to go 'No! Nooooo! Aaahhh!'

#4 Who says size does matter? The G-Force shows you wittiness and agility beats the rest. Yes, the two-face,star-nose naked mole rat is the mastermind behind all the chaos aka Mr Yanshu; but look G-Force saved the world in just a nick of time by stopping the Earth being a magnetic field attracting space garbage destroying the human kind. Guinea pigs and hamsters make adorable pets or sometimes as 'test objects'(SAY NO TO ANIMAL CRUELTY). It is proven that guinea pigs are fairly brighter than any other rodent, which explains why Jerry Bruckheimer chose this project to launch his silver screen career. Move aside hamsters, guinea pigs will top the list of kids' most favourite pets after this movie.

#5 It's a Disney movie after all, of course there is a moral to the story to be thought to kids(and everyone else). They were told that they are scientifically altered rodents but the fact is Ben, the scientist that formed G-Force, picked them up from a French restaurant (Juarez, alike rodents is a delicacy), an extermination ground (Speckles), and a petshop(Darwin). Ben, provided them a home and gave them a family. Hurley, the other non-trained, typical pet shop guinea pig G-Force member was so thankful to have found Darwin and claimed they are related because of a lookalike birth mark on their butt cheeks.

Ondeh-ondeh love

These green balls coated in coconut with brown sugar as it's inti(center in blue tray) made me giggle like a little school girl when i popped one into my mouth. Coz the moment you take a bite, the brown sugar bursts all over walls of your mouth. I couldn't stop throwing in balls after balls just to feel the excitement when it bursts. You'll probably think why am i talking about kuih right now? Coz it's pasar Ramadhan season with fasting month back for the Islams. So we each had to check out 2 bazaars.

1Malaysia or not? 15Malaysia short films

Yea yea it's Merdeka month so you're ought to be patriotic. All this buzz about 1Malaysia, but don't know if you've heard about 15Malaysia. It's 15 short films made by 15 film makers including the late Yasmin Ahmad, Ho Yuhang of Rain Dogs fame, Liew Seng Tat, Nam Ron, Suleiman Brothers and many more. 15Malaysia is a project made successful by singer songwriter Pete Teo and the team behind Malaysian Artistes For Unity (MAFU)-'Here in My Home'. Similar to the anti-racism song and music video Here In My Home, 15Malaysia highlights socio-political issues in Malaysia from corruption to Islamic banking to freedom of expression to the Mat Rempit phenomenon and even halal cooking. These 15 short films are released accordingly one each day on their website www.15malaysia.com and it's available for download by the public for free.

So far only 2 of the short films have been released, Potong Saga by Ho Yuhang featuring the infamous Namewee and Chocolate by Yasmin Ahmad featuring of course her favourite cheeky actress Sharifah Amani. Oh you can also add your own Malaysian related videos on the site. Log on to the website to check it out now!

I still have sore soles and sole-sores

I love how my title can be turned into a tongue twister haha.

Yea the last post I've only got picture from 2 acts up. So I gotta cover AAR, Hoobastank and etc. I'd post up videos but the are all of very very bad quality taken with my camera phone from miles away boohoo =(

Glitter-soaked Tyson screaming an orgasmic oh yeeeaaaahhh through out the set. And also their 'I wanna.... I wanna I wanna touch you' latest single. Can you say queer?

On the way to World Stage I was already thinking if they will play Swing, Swing and Dirty Little Secret coz these both are really old. I was practically jumping for joy when the chords were played and then Tyson started doing his awesone stage antics.

Hoobah! Hoobah! Loved their enigmatic set!

You guys want something to sing along to? Ok now........

(Ghostbuster tune and starts singing)

"If there's something strange
in your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call?"

audience: GHOSTBUSTERS!!!

(music stops)

You guys are ridiculous hahahaha

Oh oh and here's my exclusive collection of Raygun during my interview with them mmm bliss. They will be as famous as Coldplay somewhere in the future and I have this to brag about. I started listening to them when they were newcomers, did an interview with them, snippety snap candids and etc.

Say Em Tee Wheeeeee!!! World Stage! woot woot~

Hahahahahaaa!!! KLue sent me there. Just like Sarah, my events editor said 'usually I'll just sit and wait somehow there sure will be some extra tickets on the very last day.' So yea Joyce and I had the chance to go. She was nice enough to give me her share of the ticket so I'll have one pair, just enough to bring the airplane boy together with me =)
We took our own time to get there even it says on the ticket registration (what registration?you mean queuing up at the entrance?) starts at 3.30pm. Got to the entrance near Starbucks at 5.45pm, there were no line nothing at all for the RED zone so we decided to go chomp down some Carl's Jr.

Finally got into the 'pool' at about 6.15-6.30pm after a super long walk all the way in. I was so freaking worried they might confiscate my huge ass dslr coz it says on the back of the ticket no camera and video recorders or any other recording devices allowed. The security was shitty I'd have to say seeing it's an MTV event. Anyone in the theme park could have gotten access to the wave pool/ stage area. Estranged was the first act which we didn't bother much, such posers I hate the vocalist trying to be all cool with his hoodie covered 3/4 of his face. Raygun was the second act(or was it third? after Boys likes Girls?) but before that Utt and Denise/Taya (MTV Vjs) came out and talk a whole lot of crap before introducing them on stage. I'm so thankful I had the chance to interview this new British band that caused some controversy a week or so back regarding on their influence on music. I'll upload a picture of me and the band and might just spill some beans here in the next post. Though they are so new but geeezzz they really have stage presence and knew how to interact with the crowd. So what not everyone was singing along to their songs, at least people were grooving to their(yea I used the word groove, coz their genre is all about 70s-80s a cross between David Bowie, James Brown that era or rock and roll) psychedelic tunes! Omg! Ray, the vocalist is so cute and his mesmerizing pair of blue-ish eyes.

Next up was Pixie Lott, the seductive British songstress. She was so blonde I think her hair color, dress and skin tone match! Well, every heterosexual male and some female were screaming for her when she came out. And of course everyone was singing to her first single, 'Mama Do' not too sure about the rest coz she is very new after all. I still say she's a Duffy impersonator/wannabe hmm.....
(saving and posting it now before my stolen-connection dies off. will update more on Hoobastank and All American Rejects in the next post stay tuned.)
