Day 2 Victoria, Australia – Australia’s Favourite Steam Train: The Puffing Billy!! #BeckyinOzzie

Puffing Billy Steam Railway is a genuine relic of Victoria’s early rail days. It is Australia’s oldest steam railway and one of the finest preserved steam railways in the world. The vintage steam train hauls passenger carriages through the Dandenong Ranges from Belgrave to Lakeside Station, via Menzies Creek and Emerald, a distance of 13km. A round trip takes just over 2 hours.

And here I was on the 2nd day of my Victoria, Australia adventure. Fresh off my little jaunt at The Dandenong Ranges & nursing a painful finger cos I got bullied by parrots. Still, I was like an excited little kid who couldn’t wait to get on the train.

Buffet at Atrium, Sunway Pyramid Tower Hotel

This scrumptious buffet totally knocked my socks off for simply being one of the absolutely best value for money buffet I’ve ever came across so far.

Buffet at Atrium, Sunway Pyramid Tower Hotel-14

You know what people say about how normally quality & value don’t go hand in hand? Well, here’s a buffet to prove you wrong.
The lunch & tea buffet at the Atrium, Sunway Pyramid Tower Hotel showcases an uproaring Pan-Asian spread with almost a mind boogling variety of food from HK noodles to Indian Tandoori & Briyani, as well as continental pastas & craved roast.

Mezze Bistro & Bar, Jalan Kasah, Medan Damansara

When Mezze first opened last year, it created a furore of food-citement among the food bloggers in KL. Some were invited for a tasting session, and their glowing reviews flooded the web. The lamb was outstanding, proclaimed one. The lamb pilaf is out of this world, shrieked another.
I was the unfortunate, un-famous, un-invited one & had to endure reading all that and drool. LOL!

Well, where’s there’s good food, I would be there of course. Naturally I made plans to go, and was getting together a group of friends to join me.

Launch – HTC Flyer & HTC Desire S and the signing of MOU between HTC & Maxis

If there is a tablet that I would currently consider owning, the HTC Flyer is it.

HTC Flyer-2

A very “aesthetically–driven” user, the slim, pretty, shiningly pale & almost pearlish in colour HTC Flyer is totally up my alley. I daresay this is one of the best looking tablet in the market now. It’s felt really good in my hands, and it would look absolutely right at home in an elegant female handbag!

Bruno Mars Live in Malaysia @ PWTC April 2011 – pictures from the concert!

Remember the contest I posted earlier? Well, lucky me got to join the winners as well as the cool people from MSN Hotmail for the Bruno Mars concert last week!

It was a very memorable night for pretty Fazlynne as her (then) BF Khaidzir proposed to her  right after Bruno Mars sang “Marry You”. All of us were informed of his plan beforehand, and all of us had our cameras on standby when Bruno started belting out the song. The moment the song ended, he popped the question, and all of us went into picture – taking frenzy mode as we did our best to capture that surreal moment for them. 😉
