Blocoli anyone?

From time to time when I see funny signs, I'd like to capture them. This shot was taken at a chinese restaurant nearby my place. I can see why it was spelt this way...I'm sure you do to. The one below is one I captured at a Japanese 5 dollar store. Well, I'm sure we all want to do an accurate work with our mouse. =)

Cookies Craze

As you already know, Jen's into baking and stuff. She was into muffins a while ago and then cupcakes and the  current fad happens to be cookies. She's already spent a small fortune building up her empire of cookie cutters and  other related baking paraphernalia. So perhaps one day she will have this sprawling cookie conglomerate that will span over many continents. haha... well, maybe we conquer cheras first-lah. Anyway the picture you see is one of her first batches. Not too bad I must say. 

Tripod Tangle

Got me a new toy today. Have been wanting to get a tripod for sometime now (so that my trusty Sony won't be so lonely. haha) Happened to be around section 14 today so I decided to pop into Digital Mall to go hunting for one. Most of them looked expensive so I didn't bother to ask.  Stumbled into Avers and found one which I thought wah....not bad huh only RM39. To be sure I asked the sales guy whether it could be used for all cameras. He confidently replied YES. It's all standard one...So I confidently bought it. Right, so when I tried putting my DSLR on it just now, I realised that there was no screw cap at the bottom to fasten my camera. I tried looking for an instruction manual but it was no where to be found. Only then did I realise that hmmm....maybe this is for a point and shoot. I guess it still works just that, it'll probably take me an hour to screw it on. =)

A day of goodbyes

Farewell Emmy

A big thank you to KLIA Ekspres for releasing 1000 tickets for only RM1 per trip. It came just at the right time. What could've cost us a whopping RM140 only came up to RM4 for a round trip to KLIA for 2. Fantastic. Today was the day we said goodbye to a dear friend, Emmy. She may be small sized but she has a huge heart. Well, Jen decided to bake a personalized cookie for her to munch on while on the long flight in to Dublin. Well goodbye Emmy, have a great time there. May your days be filled with many wonderful and pleasant experiences. (of which perhaps some might include the company of a handsome Irish boy perhaps? haha) Take care of yourself and know that He who watches over you neither slumbers nor sleeps...but for you please sleep-lah. You medics can get a little carried away when hitting the books. We all miss you already. God bless.

Laksa Lover

I am reminded of the song which Ron Kenoly sang with Darlene entitled "You Are" (Click on the link to listen) I know I'm bordering sacrilegious to even remotely try to suggest that this song describes my relationship with curry laksa. However, if you have tasted great laksa before, you too would be inspired to pen similar words. I recently had a decent bowl of it at La Manila MidValley. Those of you who know me, know that when it comes to my favourite dish, I have set pretty high standards. For it to be listed here means that it has passed my stringent tastebud test. :) It is not the best I have tasted but I would consider it to be in the top 5 range for me. The laksa stall at O&S still comes up tops for me and the Segambut comes in a close 2nd. So if you've come across some really good ones, do drop me a note. I'd like to go check it out.
