Another GREAT movie for the laughs!

It’s opening tomorrow at the cinemas! Do yourself a favour and go watch with your friends & family (err…not entirely suitable for kids under 15 me thinks!) and get the mood going for a good weekend ahead. Seriously, my foul mood evaporated after watching it. Haha.. it’s hard not to be feel lifted in spirits after watching it 😛

Let me warn you though, I watched this under press screening so I’m not sure if it’s censored crazily for the public screening. The language is foul, the kids in the movie sure doesn’t act like kids, the parent in the movie (Nicolas Cage) is definitely NOT a role model and the gore plus blood makes your eyes widen and your mouth hanging.

And though I hate “unrealistic”, “overboard” movies, I truly enjoyed this one. It’s funny (ok, I’m a sucker for humour), it does have touching human/moral elements & HIT GIRL is sooooo COOL!!

I generally hate kids, but I don’t mind a daughter like her (see below) . Cool eh???

Truth to be told, I do not believe in true love and all that jazz.

Yet I absolutely adore light-hearted, silly, preposterous romantic comedies. There are (at least to me) antidotes to the jaded worn soul, a stress-reliever after a long day/week’s work & it provides the excuse for one to laugh hysterically, which IMHO, the best medicine one should have at disposal in keeping all illnesses at bay.

The stunning Lotus Cosworth T127 by our very own Malaysian Team – Lotus Racing

Lotus Racing was officially born on September 12th 2009 when the FIA granted the new team its entry into the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship.
The brainchild of none other then our very own Dato Tony Fernandes, who together with fellow shareholders Kamarudin Meranun and SM Nasarudin SM Nasimuddin; lead a consortium of Malaysian business interests to join forces to provide initial funding for the team under the parent company 1Malaysia Racing Team.

While I have absolute ZERO interest in F1, the opposite can be said when it comes to the projects that Tony Fernandes gets involved in. One can’t deny that he is a formidable businessman, and he is one of the few Malaysian businessmen I respect.

And where’s Tony is involved, things moves speedily, hence barely 5 months later, the Lotus Cosworth T127 was completed at its UK base in Hingham, Norfolk.

Greetings from the sterile republic! *waves*

I have been out and about.. and hardly far from my laptop. 😆

Tired out from the bus ride, I actually slept half the day yesterday! Major FAIL! I missed the chicken rice for lunch & ended up having this for lunch instead.
Not that I mind.. I love cakes!!

(more details on the cakes later )

A smorgasbord of Sundanese (Indonesian) fare – Bumbu Desa, The Curve

The latest addition to the The Glutton Street at The Curve is a restaurant chain from Indonesia, Bumbu Desa, bought into our Malaysian shores by none other than the same management of KL clubs empire; Quattro, The Library, Scarlett & Laundry.

Yes, “from clubs to food??“, some of my friends had commented when I shared this piece of news. Well, if you are leaking cash from your pores, F & B can still a good bet considering the eating habits of Malaysians. And something new to the F & B scene is always welcomed, especially to foodies (unless it sucks of course, but then that would make for an interesting blog post 😆 ).

The concept here is almost buffet; presentation – wise, but not price -wise. All the delicious food is laid out on a long table, and ala chap-fun style, point at your choice & state the quantity you wish. The friendly (though blur) staff will have it re-heated, price calculated & served to your chosen dining table between 10 -15 mins.

Original Okonomiyaki (Hiroshima Style), Lowyat Plaza LG

An Okonomiyaki is a form of savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. Okonomi means “what you like”, and yaki meaning “grilled” ; case in example the meat/seafood in the okonomiyaki (yakitori) & the noodles in it (yakisoba).

In Japan, Okonomiyaki is mainly associated with Kansai or Hiroshima areas, but is widely available throughout the country. Toppings and batters tend to vary according to region. (source: Wikipedia)

In Malaysia, Okonomiyaki can be found in…… of all places; Low Yat Plaza, though I just read recently of another restaurant who offers this tasty & simple pancake.
