T-Shirts I Lurve #1

By On · 7 Comments · In Uncategorized
love T-shirts. There are many reasons why I love wearing T-Shirts. Other than the very fact that of course the cover me up and keep me comfortable – like DUH! T-shirts like any piece of clothing, is another excuse for brands to plant their logo on them so that everyone will know what branded material you are wearing. While I am all for brands like Nike that I’m crazy about (it’s an emotional draw.. I don’t know how to explain it), but I like T-shirts that have designs on them other than a companies logo. So what do I wear T-Shirts for? 1) I wear them because I get to promote the things I am involved with. The events that are going on now. Like this one. We finally got the Shirt for Ismail:The Last Days.. heheh. Very simple.. I like it!

2) T-shirts help me to express my support for something I am obsessed about for a while. Yeah after watching the twice in a row. I’m at the stage where I’m just all crazy about it and wanna envelope myself in anything to do with either Batman or Joker-nastic.

3) A shirt to actually help me in reminding me to eat well.. heh.. lets see if it does work. I had a fun time reading it myself too. I got this from Graffi Tee for roun RM75.90. It’s an ouchie, but I love the shirt. Besides I can consider that I’m buying two shirts. Because If I turn it inside out I will get a new shirt with new words hehe. Inter-changeable shirts.. woot!

4) And some shirts… they are just plain well cool. Hehehe Thanks to Khai for the picture ^_^ I got this at The Curve’s bazaar for around umm.. I think RM25 or so. It was pretty cheap. Ask Pamsong, she was there with me and she’s just as nutty as me for shirts like these.

Ismail Press Conference

By On · 343 Comments · In Uncategorized
I’m behind on this post. **warning pic heavy** Last week was the day Ismail:The Last Days musical had a press conference. We were to perform certain songs for the press and in our costumes… or at least those that were ready. I got to dress up… as an aunty.. Sigh so unfair…. me and some of the other girls got outfits that made us look so aunty…ah well… so lets see what went on before the press conference. Call time was 12.30 so we were to be dressed in costume and we did at least two runs before meeting the media.

And on to the press conference. Here I think we are doing the scene where we are all in the 1940s.. and we are at some party.. Ooooh imagine the days of long dresses and where people had tails to their tux. Heeehe. I’m not sure which media was there. But quite certain that TheStar was there :) Heya Phui Yee. Thanks for popping by (I know it’s your job la) sorry couldn’t catch up with you much after that. :(

Cup and Cake Outing

By On · 1 Comment · In Uncategorized
I’m still a cupcake monster. A while back I had flipped through this new magazine in town called Timeout KL. I must tell you this magazine is just filled with content and one of the articles that caught my attention was entitled “Cupcake Trend”.. or something like that. Anyway the only place i knew in KLCC that sold cupcakes was . I didn’t know that the Secret Recipe had been replaced by a new cafe called The Lawn. Sorry don’t have a pic of the place.. but I do have a pic of what was served at my table :) After ordering, we are given a table number, which I think has got to be the cutest table number I’ve seen in a long time. A number seven popping out of a pot!

Nessa and I had ordered two cupcakes. Thing with cupcakes is that I’m a sucker for anything that just looks pretty and cute. I use to have a case where I wouldn’t eat them because i just wanted to look at them. You can read that .

This is some lemon vanilla cupcake. It looks real pretty eh? ^_^

img_2037

Ah here’s the oreo cupcake. Not too bad.. been a while since I had oreo.

Overall the cupcakes are alright nothing that great, but just had to give the place a try out. I find that the cream was a tad too much and for the price of RM5 per cupcake, I’d rather buy one from which cost less and has a bigger serving.

After that we then headed to The Apartment. Yeah we still had a bit of a craving… or rather my sister wanted to just see if there was anything new.

Rainbow Cupcake

Nothing new in terms of cupcakes there, just a new look.. it’s still a chocolate chip cupcake.

Red Velvet Cake

This however is what I want to drool about. This wonderful piece of Red Velvet cake just made me shoot to pastry heaven. Sigh… I’m not much of a sweet tooth, but a cake like this was tooo good. I bugged Nessa to go and learn how to make it. The icing was just delish!! Sighh… drool drool

The Boy Diaries Part 3

By On · 20 Comments · In Uncategorized
After my last ,and .. I would like to make another stand on the male species.. or rather a negative stand. I think it completely rare that at any point a girl would be able to find a guy who is even close to not being ‘guy-like’. What do i mean……. Men have this incoherent and ridiculous behaviour of taking everything at ease – especially when it comes to matters of the heart, where they just couldn’t care less about how you the girl feels over a particular matter. Men can be an insensitive blabs. Prove me wrong I don’t care.. Half the time I would think boys who are with girls do not take into consideration the things that the girls do for them. Even when the girls do not wish to do what they are asked of. For example the silliness of thinking that all girls should cook, hence oh if the boy is busy playing a game, it is the rightful duty of the girl to cook something for the lazy oaf. If she doesn’t then he will go into a whine of ooohh you aren’t taking care of me… you would rather see me starve, then and only then will he get off his butt to go and make his own food.. The girl is at a losing end here.. doesn’t matter which she chooses to cook or not to cook, she will be taken for granted. Oh and another example. I do not understand you men. A girl prefers to look good when she goes out. But the irony is that when she starts going out with you (the boyfriend) too often, she finds her efforts of preening herself in front of the mirror to look good are wasted. The bf will not look at you and go off you look nice. No… he doesn’t say anything.. Rather he will either ask why are you wearing make up or he will not say anything nice at all. Then later when the girlfriend goes out with her friends, and she starts getting all dolled up, he will then say ‘Ohh…. you’ve never dressed up this for me before when we go out..’ ….. Like WHAT???? WTH are you saying????? We did dress up for you, we did lok nice for you but did you notice? No!! You noticed the next thing with boobs on the street. Like WTH!!! And you can dare say that we didn’t dress up for you. Ho insensitive can you get? Here’s another example. The girlfriend goes all out and all out to find out ways to help you with a problem, doesn’t matter what it is. She will all various ways to solve it. But what is the boyfriend doing? He is on his darn butt playing on the computer! Another WTH!!!! He won’t even look at the solutions that she has provided rather he goes on another long way to find his own solution. My gosh!! As for the poor girlfriend, not only does she end up with her time wasted.. when she wants help with something, the boyfriend can’t help at all. Why? One because the boyfriend never asks whether the gf wants help, he would rather go on instead to say something that is completely off topic and make matters worse.. So yeah… Men are INSENSITIVE…. Let me fume for the time being… peh!

The Dark Knight Lost?

By On · 255 Comments · In Uncategorized
I just came back from the cinema again after watching for a second time. I’m still BLOWN AWAY! I don’t care how many times you let me watch that movie, I don’t think I could get sick of it. I knew I was going to watch it again with Mister G, hence i purposely allowed myself to slip away from certain things for the first time I watched it. So i kept my eye open even more to notice little things which i hadn’t noticed before. The one thing i enjoy about watching movies with Mister G – other than the fact i get to hold his hand in the cinema – is how i get to tell him about some trivia or behind the scenes stuff which i found either online or through articles and also by the fact, we start to discuss about a film after having seen it. It’s a lot of fun having a good talk out session with him even though we end up in a bit of a debate in the process. ***note for those who have not yet seen the movie, please turn away NOW – you have been warned!***
jokerplan

It’s all… part of the plan… wa hahahahahahahaha

You know despite the fact the JOker keeps on insisting that he has no plan, I think he is a down right hypocrite.. everything he did… seemed like a well thought out plan. If not why would he have to keep on asking or looking at his watch whether his schemes have taken place.
3of-a-kind

So who is the victim here? The clown who believes that the city is governed by too many rules? The man who fights for justice but on his terms? Or the man who lost everything in order to save the city from bad men?

Anyway the debate was about differences in premises. He believes that the Joker won in the end and managed a ‘checkmate’ position where everything he had hoped for fell to his advantage. Meaning not only did he manage to get Harvey Dent mad, making him lose his reputation and die, but in the process he made Batman into a wanted man, because Batman had to take the fall of Harvey Dent in order to ensure the people still had hope for some sort of good in the corrupted city. In this, the Joker had caused Batman to go from being a hero to a zero, a person who is against the law. So either way, Joker won in that sense.
whysoserious

I just needed a reason to put this poster up :) cause it’s the first time i’m seeing it.

Where as I believe that the Joker only managed to ‘eat the queen’ and didn’t get to confirm the death of the ‘king’. My argument is the Joker didn’t not get his wish of causing people to lose hope in goodness, he did not get to see people be as sick as him. He did not get to see the citizens of Gotham City lose hope in a person who is able to help them. I believe the Joker wanted the people to realise that they could not trust anyone, that they have no one to turn too. That everyone is just out to save their own skin. The Joker did not get to see the two ships being blown to smithereens and the citizens did not see the wrong doing of the man they believed in. So to me i don’t think the Joker won.
dark_knight

The Dark Knight takes on the blame of the wrongs of another... does that make him a fallen hero?

I don’t know what do you people think? Do you think at the end of the movie, the Joker won what he had set out to do? Or do you think some level of justice still prevailed and the Joker’s wishes were ruined?
