Starhill Midsummer Nights Feast 2010 – Shook!, Jakes’, Jogoya, Gonbei, Village Bar, Pak Loh Chiu Chow & Luk Yu Tea House – Special Menus

In continuation from my post showcasing the Celebrity Chefs Special menus for the Midsummer Nights Feast 2010, (Check it out HERE – it’s not that expensive really…), I have compiled below the special menus by the above mentioned outlets for the week of Jul 2nd to Jul 9th.

Thanks to YTL, I had a blast stuffing myself silly with bite sized canapes at each of the participating outlets during the media launch. Datin Yasmin was there to officiate the event with a short, concise speech about the Celebrity Chefs this year as well as a brief introduction about the line-up of events to expect for this year’s Midsummer Nights Feast @StarHill Gallery.

Toy Story 3, 2010 – a lesson in Humanity

The cowboy and the spaceman. The piggy bank and the green dinosaur.

Toystory3 gang

Thanks to Toy Story and Toy Story 2, these became the most familiar movie characters of all time. With Toy Story 3, the whole gang’s back – along with a few newcomers too.

Namely the meanest pink teddy bear you’ve ever seen. Well, actually Lotso is quite cute. (Lesson 1: Do not be deceived by appearance.)

Maxis10Reviews – Google Nexus One vs the HTC Desire

These 2 are always being compared. And supposedly the same. Of course there are sight differences here and there, mostly on the outlook, and some technical specs.
As with my previous post, the camera function is vastly different in terms of controls & obviously the images’ outcome too.

Here, I got some pictures to show of the aesthetic differences.

Dimensions.

Left: Nexus One – (L x W x T) 119 x 59.8 x 11.5 mm ( 4.69 x 2.35 x 0.45 inches)

Right: HTC Desire – (L x W x T) 119 x 60 x 11.9 mm ( 4.69 x 2.35 x 0.45 inches)

Both – 3.7” AMOLED Touch Screen, 480×800 WVGA resolution, with pinch & zoom capcabilities. 1GHz Processor speed. 576 MB RAM (N1 is 512MB only) and 512 MB ROM.

Watched a nanny giving birth, catching eels with my bare hands..just few of the many experiences I had during my Malacca Homestay!

I managed to capture some interesting moments during the Malacca homestay with my handy HTC Desire last week.

From my previous post HERE, where I posted the video of my foster parents’ village house; now I got more to share:

1. Watching a female goat giving birth to 2 kids..(I whipped out my camera a bit too slow, else would have caught the moment when the kid popped out! No worries, will get a picture of it soon!).

Maxis10Reviews – iPhone 3GS vs the HTC Desire

Here is Part 3 and last of my crazy guest bloggers write-up on smart phones. Josh Lim, an Apple fanboy, takes on the analogy of his beloved iPhone versus the HTC Desire.

Blackberry user? You can read about HTC Desire vs Blackberry HERE . Or HTC Desire vs an older Android. What improvements were there? Read HERE.

Hello I am Josh Lim from www.josh.my.

I use a PC for daily work, flirt with a Macbook Pro for occasional presentations, but am in a serious relationship with my iPhone. It is worth noting that before I bought my iPhone, I had at least 3 dreams about getting an iPhone. As of such you can expect me to be biased.

However, being a tech geek I will give you a technical breakdown of the iPhone 3Gs vs the HTC Desire, and from there you can decide what’s best for you!

Weight

The iPhone 3Gs and the HTC Desire weigh about the same (133 g vs 135g ), seriously! I actually weighted on a digital scale that Rebecca uses for cooking (that can measure very precise grams). The scale fluctuated a bit, but you can’t really tell the difference in weight.

Chillex Cafe, Puchong – A Place to Chill & Relax

Seriously, I barely had time/stomach to catch up with the burger-volution that’s taking over town.

First was the massive burger by New York New York, of which I didn’t even bother to visit after reading numerous blog posts on how horrible the food was. Then came the 12 – inch vertical monstrous creation of Cravings in Sunway Giza, which sadly reported to be as monstrous in taste.
Next, The Double Ultimate Skewers Glutton Burger in Skewers, Subang Avenue, of which I haven’t had the ..yeah you guessed it, time/stomach to try yet.

And just last week, at the launch of Chillex Cafe in Puchong Financial Corporate Center (wahh.. now Puchong got financial center, fuyoh.., what’s next? Segambut International Corporate City???? *sarcastic* ), I was presented with this gargantuan fella…
