Just so you know

I'm finally in the mood to blog again. Alrite, you may have heard this thousand times from other blogs but unlike them, i have a very valid reason. :)

One of my college assignments at the moment is well, BLOGGING! (omg! that's so easy.............)

Think again!

This assignment is not just about writing what you ate today or where have you been, etc. And you know what? It's nothing even close to that! My group mates and I have to blog about computer stuff. Yes, laugh all you want. As part of my Web technology subject, the lecturer chose to teach us coding through blogging. And now he officially made me have no time for my OWN! But i do have to thank him for all the wonderful tips about blogging. Soon, this blog will go through another revamp.

My life is basically pretty normal and seem to be back at where i left off for internship. One word=Stress. Assignments after assignments kept pouring in like how i drink water. The best part of it - it's all due before Chinese New Year. Madness, i tell you. All of a sudden the lecturers became more hardworking.

Me and my classmates have to literally run an exhibition next, next month or rather next month since it's almost 45 minutes to February 1st. Quite an exciting project.

Few days ago, i was going through some pictures and i realized how much i miss MYC!. Honestly, i had a blast working there. The people there is just pure fun and amazing. *sigh* I need a visit there. (Wait.. what's the password entry again?)

I'm here blabbing about myself and sorry if i bore you but hey, they didn't call this "Your Blog" for nothing right?

The next few months this blog will probably be inactive or about assignments, assignments, assignments...

But if you're interested, you may visit my project blog at everything-meme.blogspot.com to read about internet memes. Trust me, it's much more interesting that how it sounds.


Cheers!

God Bless Those Who Needs Blessing

I want to thank God for everything that God has given me - a family, friends, a heart to live, a sheltered home, and everything in between. I may complain more than i should at certain times but i come to realize today that life is very fragile and waking up everyday is already a MIRACLE.

You must be thinking, what is this post leading to.

Well, as some of you may already know, a strong earthquake struck Haiti yesterday - killing almost eevryone on the island. Precious lives are taken away, homes are destroyed, and many hearts are crushed by the pain of lost.

What can we do to help them?

Let's be selfless citizen and people of the Earth to help these people.

Cuz they need the help more than we do - considering you are reading this with an internet. I assume you are quite fortunate.

Think of those who are not at this very moment.

Do not view if you have a weak heart (means if you can't stand seeing pain lah)

A child lost in the moment.


Homes destructed.


Blood shattered.


Here's a few ways you can help them:

1. UNICEF

2. Save the Children

3. Red Cross

Or contact any local newspaper or NGOs to donate personally. :)


Let's stand together to help those in need.

P.S.: I am not promoting UNICEF or any of the organizations above. This is just to smack you in the face and make you realize that these people need help!

It's a Chocolate Affair

It's officially 1 week of not writing any post in my blog! Wow! I have no excuse for not posting anything except since starting my classes (college) again, my time on the internet has been taken up. It's because everytime i reach home after class, i'm so tired and all i could think about is shower and dinner! Still, that's not an excuse for not posting even a simple "hi".

Anyways, so far i've not been to any interesting places to eat yet but i'm looking forward to this weekend. Maybe, just maybe, i'll go to somewhere nice and i can take delicious picture of food again. Besides, that's what i love to do!

And also, this weekend is Malaysia Chocolate Fair 2010! If you haven't know yet, i'm a chocolate ADDICT to the MAX! I'm hoping to go and grab my parents along with me since they are both chocolate fans like i am, but my mom was like, "Traffic jam la...". Hope they change their mind about it.

Cuz the world's top chocolatiers, chocolate makers, and everything chocolate will be there! And i so want to witness it myself.

Here's the link to the official website : www.chocolatefair.com.my/index.htm

Fingers cross that i can make it there. And if YOU are a chocolate fan or just want to get free chocolate sampling (hoping they do...), head on down to MidValley Exhibition Centre Hall 3.

This fair is going on from today onward till this Sunday (8th - 10th January 2010). 3 days of Chocoalate fair! *faints*

Fullhouse (Lifestyle Store & Cafe) - This is us!

Love them. Adore them. And on top of that, they are my long time besties of all time! No one on this planet earth can replace them! ♥♥♥

I'm talking about my school friends that i've known for many, many years... Tho some times it's hard to keep track with them, at the end of the day, it feels like an old stocking that found the other pair. Ok, i have no idea where the "stoking" idea came from but i just thought of it. You guys get the idea.

Well, this post is not going to talk about our meet-up time together or some down-memory lane grandmother story post cuz i know it'll make you yawn and the last thing i want to do is have you stare blankly at my blog.

My passion is writing and food. And what happens when i blend those 2 together? Ahh... you get what i mean...

Fullhouse Lifestyle Store and Cafe - many of us heard of this one-of-the-kind place. And we first heard of it at their very first branch, Ara Damansara (Nui Ze Xui).

I must say that their cafe is very unique but i have to point out that Fullhouse is quite identical to Garden Cafe (my review here). The similarities are, both have greenaries as part of their concept, both have white furnitures, both have small potted plants as their table setting, and both gives me the idea of an English tea house.

The difference? Garden Cafe is completely a garden concept unlike Fullhouse, greenaries and potted plants is just "part" of their interior design.

Oh, and Garden Cafe has a grand white piano as the centre of attention whereas, Fullhouse has a classic Mini Cooper as the centre of attention.

They opened their second branch at Sunway Pyramid (next to Sakae Sushi, opposite PappaRich) and that is where i get to expereince their food and atmosphere.

Their service is actually good. The female waitress where dressed as maids but of course not the male waiters. The waiter that served us with the name Martin (we asked his name. LMAO) was willing to recommend some food and also introduced their New Year menu.

But what i didn't like was that the food came earlier than the drinks, except for the tea. Even when we started with our meals, the drinks was yet to arrive but it came eventually.

So, aside from the service and surrounding, lets talk food!

Chocolate Iced Blended (RM9.90)
Ok, i don't really like to compare but when it
comes to food, you know you gonna compare with the best.
Compare to Theobroma Chocolate Lounge Iced Chocolate,
this one don't stand a chance. It's sweet, smooth but not as
chocolate-ty as Theobroma Chocolate. Sorry.


Honey Milk Topped with Green Tea (RM5.90)
It looks weird and sounds weird, yes. But it doesn't taste that bad.
Just like an ordinary milk tea with green tea. I must say, it's quite
refreshing.

Green Tea (RM2.90)
Here's the truth - it's Lipton Green Tea...
So, if anyone of you has Lipton tea at home, you know how it taste like.
It's Green Tea!

Mashed Potato (RM5.90)
It looks too nice to eat. Personally, i think the sauce is a little too
salty. The potato itself can stand alone cuz it's already salted.
Still acceptable but definitely not for people with hypertension.

Curry Laksa (RM12.90)
According to my friend who ate this, the prawns were not
properly cooked. But everything else was ok.
Tho, i have to point out - it's called "laksa" but they use
normal yellow egg noodle. Aren't they suppose to
use the white noodle? But if that's the case, they should
just rename it as Curry Noodle instead.

Schnitzel Breaded Chicken Cutlet (RM16.90)
It's actually normal chicken chop. The size of the chicken is the size
you see as it is. You know how you get your chicken half the size as it
is and the rest is flour?
Yeah, i hate that too... But this one is not!
Simple chicken chop for simple hearts (i just thought of that phrase).


Wok-Sear Chicken Chop (RM16.90)
Ahh... this is another version of chicken chop!
And i loved it!
Love the sauce, love the chicken (it left me craving for more!).
The sauce is black pepper and the little peanut size thing on it
is actually raisins! So it's salty and sweet at the same time.
It was served with mashed potato (underneath the chicken) and green veggies.


Smoothies-Fruities Fish (RM22.90)
Say what???
Yup! As predicted, the fish is served with stuff
we usually throw in the blander to make smoothies!
It tasted like mango and berry sauce but according to the menu
it's passion berries (errr??? Whatever that is).
This dish is excellent for every sweet-toothers out there.
The fish is fresh and soft and went perfect with the sweet sauce.

Overall, a nice place to have a special meal. I say special cuz besides the amazing surroundings, the price is fancy as well. What do we expect from a western/local restaurant? The price is almost like Secret Recipe (our total bill was RM115.50! And the service charge is RM10.50!!! O.O). Unless you can really splurge on these kinda meals everyday, hey, who am i to stop ya'? Food is alrite' - i have yet to discover the best of the BEST western food, so i can't label Fullhouse as the best, yet.


P.S.: This is based on personal liking and taste. It may vary with different people.


Bon appetit!
