The full day feng shui workshop displayed with prominent words "Wealth & Destiny" by Joey Yap. Now who doesn't want to get a  chance to take charge of their wealth, career and relationships?

The workshop was held at KL Convention centre to a full convention hall packed with eager participants. Wealth & Destiny Seminar Ticket

MTV World Stage LIVE in Malaysia 2011

Image
MTV Worldstage was held LIVE in Malaysia last couple of weeks on the night of 24th July 2011 over in ICity, Shah Alam. I was fortunate to get a couple of invites thanks to Benjamin. So there I was for an outdoor concert hosted by MTV feeling rather excited because I rarely go for concerts of this sort. This year's MTV Worldstage had a line-up of 30 Seconds to Mars, Neon Trees, Beast, and Pop Shuvit.

Pepper Lunch Sunway Pyramid

Image
Just before catching the movie Hangover 2 the other day, a bunch of us decided to crash into this eatery called Pepper Lunch located just one floor below TGV Cinemas in Sunway Pyramid. The Pepper Lunch franchise wasn't new to me as I have had the express version over at Midvalley Megamall a few months back. Read about my previous writeup of Pepper Lunch Express Midvalley Megamall here . Pepper Lunch Sunway Pyramid

The Hangover Part 2 Movie Review

Image
Tonight I had the chance to catch this movie "Hangover 2", a sequel to the movie "Hangover" thanks to Nuffnang . It was held at TGV Sunway Pyramid, and judging from the good reviews from the original movie, I went into the cinema hall hoping to catch a good classy comedy.

Hometown Kopitiam At The Curve

Image
The other day, I was at E Curve for Larry Crowne screening when a few of us bloggers decided to get together over a quick dinner. I've tried the Vivo Pizza a couple of times , as well as Sakae Sushi and Xian Ding Wei , so we figured we should try a different eatery. One quick round, and we decided to dine in at this nice looking restaurant aptly named Hometown Kopitiam which showcased some authentic kopitiam decor.

True Discovery Reptile Collection At ICity

Image
Fresh from the laser tag event with fellow bloggers last week over in ICity, we were introduced to True Discovery , tagged to be the largest reptile collection in Malaysia . True Discovery was just a few steps away from Laser Warzone in ICity, Shah Alam . Being someone really interested with new stuffs, and believe me, having so many reptiles under one roof is really a new experience for me! True Discovery @ ICity; Take a walk on the wild side with me!

Musang King Durians

Image
Musang King durians, what do you know about these "more expensive than normal" yellow colored, creamy sweet tasting durians? Well for me, I have no idea there's a durian variety named Musang King until recently when I saw some tweets from friends discussing about it. A quick check online got me educated on what the fuss is all about. Musang King Durians

Happy times are when we're with friends just chilling out enjoying an activity together. Last weekend, I was elated to get invited for a cocktail tasting event over at this really posh View Rooftop Bar over at G Tower Hotel KL. The last time I was over at G Tower Hotel was for the TimeOut KL Cocktail Mixing Workshop , which left me with a very lasting good impression of the place.

Huge Fried Bananas At Ampang

Image
Today I had the urge to grab myself some fried bananas and it just so happens there's one just opposite my company. "Goreng Pisang" as they call it here, is one of Malaysia's favourite tea time snack. In fact, it doesn't necessarily have to be taken only during tea time, any time is a good time for a goreng pisang! This is one huge banana called the "pisang tanduk"

NZ Garden Cafe At Jalan Ampang

Image
The other day I was at Zouk KL around lunch time for the Astro Spinmaster 2 Finale and found myself looking for some food. I found it rather tough finding affordable and nice food around Jalan Ampang area, and ended up at this nice looking restaurant about 150 metres away from Zouk. NZ Garden Cafe is this mamak eatery offering mixed rice and malaysian specialty food.

Laser Tag At Laser Warzone ICity Shah Alam

Image
Have you ever tried the latest craze in town? Laser tag, a new form of "paintball" minus the mess, the heat and pain. I've always thought Paintball should be renamed 'Pain'ball as there's a whole lot of pain involved in that game. But hey, in laser tag battles, the only pain you will get would be the heartache when you get shot and lose the game! I have had the chance to try out this laser tag game over in this cool new place in I-City Shah Alam called Laser Warzone with 25 other fellow bloggers thanks to Elwyn who invited us. Laser Warzone with the tagline "The Ultimate Lasertag Challenge"

First Ever ChurpOut Session At Mark's Place, PJ

Image
Tonight, ChurpChurp with the tagline "A community for social media influencers" held their first ever ChurpOut session at this fresh and cool bar named Mark's Place in PJ. Mark's Place is located in Kelana Jaya and serves fusion cuisine and fine whiskey by the lake. Yes, there's a lake just in front of the venue. I was truly excited when I got the invites to attend this session by ChurpChurp, reminding me of yet another awesome blogger's gathering I attended early this year ( Nuffnang Sharing Session ).

Larry Crowne (2011) Movie Review

Image
From my previous post here , I actually won myself 2 tickets to catch a special screening for the new movie by Tom Hanks, Larry Crowne. I was actually interested in this romantic comedy because it actually starred two rather famous stars Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, and I love catching romantic comedies with my loved one.

DiGi WWWOW Awards 2011

Image
Digi WWWOW Awards , an online voting contest that ran for the past month or so culminated with an awards night over at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC) in Sentul on the 12th July 2011. I was privileged to get invited by Qian and Benjamin to witness the first internet based awards. The tagline was "Malaysia's 1st By The People, For the People, Internet for all Awards" and this was truly a first for people to get recognized for all their works through the internet.

Marrybrown Restaurant Genting Highlands

Image
Marrybrown is a Malaysian owned fast food franchise which isn't as popular as the usual KFC or Mcdonalds but have been around the local scene for quite some time now. They serve a localized fare of fried chicken, chicken porridge, nasi lemak, burgers and more . Anyway this post would be my take on Marrybrown's branch in First World Plaza , Genting Highlands . Marrybrown Genting Highlands Marrybrown Restaurant First World Plaza, Genting Highlands Part of the reason how I ended up in a fast food restaurant on the first night I was up in Genting Highlands the other day was the fact that I arrived way past midnight. Walking around Genting , there weren't much choices for hot food as most eateries were already closed for the night. This was when I stumbled upon Marrybrown with it's " Open 24hours" sign , with the promise of offering hot freshly prepared food. It was indeed a welcome sight on a cold night. Marrybrown with its "open door" co

Sony Ericsson W8 Review -Spec and Design

Image
Fresh from unboxing my Sony Ericsson W8 ( Sony Ericsson W8 Review -Unboxing ), it's time to share on the nitty gritty technical specifications on this tiny gadget, and what sets it apart from it's previous generation, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8. In this post, I shall be sharing the specification and a short comparison of this latest W8 and Experia X8. This post serves as Part 2 of my review. #1 To open the cover for access, just snap off from the side as shown. Design wise, the W8 is a real piece of art as I found it both pleasing to look at, and light as feather. My iPhone felt like a brick when comparing their weights. Weighing at only 104gms, for a smartphone, no other mobile phones come close. #2 Sony Ericsson W8 Design To open the cover, there was no sliding involved, as it just involves snapping the back cover out. It came off easily without much trouble. I was initially apprehensive that it will spoil the phone, but it was just needless worries. Inside we

Ning Baizura New Album Launch

Image
Following up on my previous post, " An Afternoon With Ning Baizura ", where I was honored to be able to have a 1 on 1 session with the diva herself. This time, I was at Zouk, KL for Ning Baizura's latest album Dewa launching amidst all the media, fans, and bloggers. The environment was awesome that night, all waiting anxiously for the star's appearance. The event was jointly brought to us by Universal Music Malaysia and Era FM. Ning Baizura Album Launching at Zouk We were ushered in to our seats on the top floor, but in order to get a better view, I actually went down to where the action is at. Ning Baizura made her entrance in style, with hunky shirtless muscle men carrying her to the stage. I swore I heard some ladies around me sighed in awe at those muscles. Entrance in style Ning Baizura on her throne being brought up to the stage On a side note, I got the chance to meet up with so many other famous bloggers that night. I'm delighted as

This is one often used Pizza Hut near my company, one that we will drop by whenever we felt like having something heavier than the average lunch fare. This afternoon was one of the special days where my colleagues and I felt like having some pizza for lunch. Our destination? Pizza Hut at Jusco AU2 Keramat, just a couple of kilometers away from our company.

I want to win tickets to Larry Crowne and Lulla Man!

Image
Before you start going, "Lullabye? Larry? L?", just hear what's this all about. This post will serve as a contest entry for me to win a pair of tickets each to watch these two upcoming movies, Larry Crowne and Lulla Man on the 13th July and 19th July respectively. I'm required to answer two questions in this blog post as creatively as I can. Bear with me and do wish me some luck at the comment section. Larry Crowne Question #1 “If you could get a second chance, what would you have done differently in highschool?” Who wouldn't want a second chance to re-live their high school days? If I am given this golden magical opportunity, I will definitely join in more school activities, make more school buddies and laugh more! Throughout my high school years, I was quite the anti-social, mixing only with my clique. Somehow this had limited my experiences and knowledge which I could have gotten had I mixed around with a wider pool of friends. Well, that's just me
