Salam AidilAdha...

Salam Eid-Adha to all readers...

Labaik Allahuma labaik. Labaika laa syariikalaka labaik. Innal hamda wani'mata lakal walmulk. Laa syariikalak. 

"I stand up for YOUR service, O GOD! I stand up! I stand up! There is no partner with YOU!I stand up for YOUR service! Verily YOURS is the praise, the beneficence, and the dominion! There is no partner with YOU".

It's been a while...

Hi peeps...Sorry it's been a while since I took a time off from blogging... I've been experiencing a pretty mind-blowingly hectic months but now....

Stay glued!!! :D

Labour day!

HAPPY LABOUR DAY 

TO EVERYONE WHO HAS A JOB! :D

You deserves a day off. So ENJOY!!!

Avengers Assemble!

Triple As.

Awesome. Avengers. Assemble!!!

It's worth the wait, worth to watch and totally entertaining. The gang's are all here. My all time favorite heroes stand together (minus their alter egos) to fight the evil aka Loki and his alien friends. 

Be afraid. But...isn't he cute? :D

Surprisingly, there's a lot of humor in the film too. And I'm so so pleased to see Hulk (played by Mark Ruffalo) is finally well portrayed. Believe me, he had some seriously funny moments in this film.

Why wait? Go to your nearest cinema and watch it it yourself peeps. Plus, the special effects are amazing! You won't regret it.

Also don't forget to stay around for the post-credit moment.

I’m already looking forward to seeing the next Avengers. Wohooooo!

Smells of Fresh Air

It's raining! YAY!

It's been really HOT for the past few days...and today it's pouring...not as heavy but - a good rain. :)

And yes I'm lovin it. Thank you GOD!

I felt like it has this cleansing feeling that washes away all the bad feelings. Sometime it's wonderful to just sit and listen to it. And after it stops, you feel clean and refreshed.

It's nice to breathe the fresh air or just getting this sweet "after-the-rain" smell. You tend to see the leaves on the trees are even more greener...wet grass, even mist upon the hill (at my place lah) and birds chirping ...this sorts of things makes you happy.

Interesting how the mother earth works huh! And since yesterday was the Earth day, have you done your part?

If not, start NOW. Be aware, get involved and make some contribution for our mother nature even just a small one. I'm gonna start too...I may not be a good contributor myself lately, but it's never late to do so.

Well I hope it's not to late to wish every earthlings "Happy Earth Day'!

Go green! *Woot*

Tupac Resurrected @Coachella - epic hologram!

It's freaking creepy.

Eerie but yet mind-blowing awesome realistic!!!

Rapper Tupac Shakur was resurrected and rocked the stage at the Coachella Music Festival in California. His epic performance with Snoop Dogg was totally insane!!!

Have you guys catch his vid? If not watch below.
(WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE IN THE VIDEO)

Creepy right...?! - (incase you don't know, he died 15 years ago)

And the best part is when he shouted to the crowds “What the f*** is up, Coachella?” - *seriously!!??*-  the festival only started three years after his death. :O

Also at the end when he vanished into thin air...fantastic!!

Thanks to the new technology...the late rapper was brought to live with the help of 3D hologram (as in 2D projections). I wished I was there to witness the whole show. -*Sigh*

I'm sure there'll be lots of hologram performance coming soon. Rumors saying that MJ will be the next one to get the hologram resurrection like Tupac. (I bet it's gonna be freaking awesome too.)

Watch the whole lot of the vid here.
(- or see how the whole thing looks like - here)

Sending positive vibes to all. Till then, peace y'all...

Enjoy ur weekend! :D

Pure soul: Melissa Polinar

I recently fell in love with her music. Her beautiful voice, amazing talents and every piece of it - just simply awesome! Somehow you feel that you can relate to her songs...simple words but yet meaningful. Listen to this...

Warning : It's highly addictive I tell ya...

'TRY' this. Another fav..:)



Can't get enough of her rite? A lot to listen too. 'Off-guard', 'Skyline', 'Feels like home', 'This Road'..owh the list just go on and on. Such a talented singer/songwriter. Just hope someday her music will be known all over the globe. Well I already did...a huge fan I am...:D

Leave you guys with this catchy song...cheerio.

Bored to death!

I'm bored to death....get me outta here...:(

November Rain...

School holidays started as well as the monsoon season. It's been raining heavily here in KL every evening. Heavy and continuous rainfall in Kelantan and Terengganu had caused flash floods in certain area. Let's hope that everyone took extra precaution and more helps are given to those people in need.

No more Mrs Humphries: Kim Kardashian divorcing Kris

72 days....surprising huh? Some may say yes and some may said earlier..."I already thought so"...

I don't even get a chance to watch the whole episode on Kim's wedding...and when I heard this news from the radio on my way to work Monday morning....I said to myself... don't even bother to wait for the repeat...duh!!! *sigh*

(see my previous post during her wedding day...) ๏̯͡๏

In recent interviewed Kim's said the reason why she's dumping Kris is because she listened and followed her intuition. What?... (hmmm I just wished she listen to herself earlier...why lah?)

Anyway life must go on...whatever reason behind their failed marriage, I know she's able to handle & walked through it. Yeah...I bet she will and hope she'll find her happiness soon.

It's HOLLYWOOD babeh...there's always a drama and everything is possible!

You've got that super bass!

Someone shared this on my facebook and when I first saw this vid, it was quite literally jaw dropping. This young girl is so amazing and adorably cute!!! It's hilarious and a bit disturbing at the same time.

Although I don't quite get the rapping part (which I must say it's awesome for a 5 year old girl), the chorus is absolutely the fun part and too cute!


Well you can see the rest of the video here...
(watch one after another okay) :)

The video received a millions hits in You Tube, even Ellen invited the gals to her show. Watch Sophia getting all excited herself meeting her own idol Nicki Minaj! (by all that I mean super...super..excited and hyper)

And the best part is they were treated to a shopping spree from Nicki and Ellen! *whoaaaaa (O.O)*
Hmmmmm....I bet all other kids out there were jealous and want one or perhaps be more creative after this...

Incase some of you have not seen the video from Nicki Minaj, you can watch it here. (psssttt... I didn't put the clip here bcoz I wouldn't wanna spoil these two ballerinas princess cuteness. *HEHE*

Btw you've got swag girls!!!

♪♫ Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom, boom, badoom, boom bass? He got that super bass... ♪♫

Have a great Sunday everyone! (◡‿◡✿)

Yummeh! : I ♥ Tasty Foodies

Since it was Diwali (or Deepavali ) yesterday, all I can think of is 'eating' yummy food. There's so many food & places out there that I can think of but here are some of my personal favourites (in Klang Valley).

1. Banana Leaf 
      Place : Sri Nirwana Maju Banana Leaf,
                 Jalan Telawi 3,Bangsar (next to Ambank)

This place is so packed with people any time of the day & night especially during lunch hour. Loves the curry (you might wanna try out their vege curry too) and probably the best deep-fried gourd in town. And their teh tarik is heaven!!! I can drink 3 glasses of that. *syiokk*

2. Nasi Kandar
      Place : Restoran Kudu bin Abdul  
                 Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman
                 (corner lot, near Tune Hotels)

I may not be a huge fan of nasi Kandar but since my hubby's bloodline is from Penang, he asked me to try out and I fell in love with it the moment I ate it. The taste is consistent and everything is complete. You'll see a lot of people queuing up but it is worth a wait. Trust me it won't disappoint you. *drool*

3. Char Koay Teow 
      Place : Mali's Corner
                 Platinum Walk, Danau Kota
                 (next to Tutti Frutti, nearby Festival City)

This is my favourite! I used to search high and low for the best char koay teow in town but this is probably one of the best I've had (since the one I like near Wangsa Maju LRT is gone!) The prawn is large & fresh and you can order small or large plate. Previously they had a stall at Taman TAR (near TAR college) but they moved out to a bigger place and occupied two shop lots. This too had many people queuing up (just think of McDonald's with a twist - a local fast food version instead) *HAHA*. Their nasi lemak and drinks are great too. Go and check it out!

4. Nasi Lemak 
      Place : Village Park Restaurant
                 Damansara Uptown PJ  

Well it's not Nasi Lemak 2.0 but this Nasi Lemak was introduced by my colleagues and it taste superb! What I love about this nasi lemak is the crispy and tender chicken, cooked with herbs and spices. The sambal is slightly sweet but you can choose to have a plain nasi lemak or you can add on chicken rendang, beef, squids, or kerang (cockles). My fav would be nasi lemak with fried chicken. Although it's a bit pricey-RM7.00 for a plate, I can asure you that you'll be satisfied coz' the fried chicken are huge!

5. Nasi Ayam 
      Place : Nasi Ayam Hainan Chee Meng
                 Jalan Bukit Bintang  

This Nasi Ayam is soooo very well known even the famous people & royalty have been here. I would say their specialties is the sambal and soup (they put peanuts in it). Try out their two types of chicken – either roasted or steamed. Oowh and btw it's 'HALAL'! :)

6. Ayam Bakar/Ayam Penyet  
      Place : Ayam Bakar Wong Solo
                 Taman Dagang, Ampang

If you love chicken barbeque, this is the one to die for. Originally from Medan, Indonesia this yummy dish came in a la carte or in set. The chicken is marinated to perfection and it came with rice, fried tempe, fried tofu, raw cucumber, long beans, salad, spicy brinjal and walla = PERFECTION! You can try out some other favourites on the menu like ayam penyet, gado-gado, pecel lele (deepfried catfish ) or even order a drink called Polygamy Juice! HAHA!!

7. Sate or Satay 
      Place : Sate Sri Melaka
      AU5, Keramat (@ medan selera near Petronas) 

Malaysian's popular and all time favourite! The satay's were delicious, chunky and juicy. Served with a spicy peanut sauce, onions, cucumbers, and ketupat (rice cakes). This stall is always crowded with people and since it is located at medan selera you can also opt for other things like len chee kang, nasi goreng, asam laksa etc.

8. Chicken Chop 
      Place : Cozy House Ampang Park &
                 Cozy Corner Great Easten Mall  

You may have other opinion or fav about this dish but my personal choice would be from this restaurants. The chicken fillet is crispy and huge, generous amount of gravy and chips makes me coming back for this. *my hub's drooling over this* :D

9. Yong Tau Foo 
       Place : Hometown Yong Tau Foo
                  (near Ampang Point)

Whenever I'm sick or want something soupy, I'll always think of this soupy yong tau foo. Basically you can choose from fried fish cakes, char koay, fried soi kow, ladies finger and many others. Another personal fav is from the night market Taman Melawati. This uncle has been selling this for a looooong time. You'll know which stall i'm talking about if you saw a long line up of plastic basin and people queuing. The kuah or 'gravy' is so yummeh!

10. Biryani 
         Place : Ruz Aladdin Ampang and
                    JM Bariani Wangsa Maju
                
I'm not sure whether it is "Biryani" (or "Briyani" or "Bariani" as locals call it). And since I'm from Johor, this is something I'm familiar and grew up with. The Johorean might know the infamous Batu Pahat Biryani Gam (must try if you go to BP, Johor) but the one from these restaurants are also worth a try. I love lamb biryani but you can try out either chicken, mutton or beef biryani.

11. Tandoori 
          Place : Arumugam Tandoori & Naan
                    (opposite Ampang Point)  

My late mom & family's personal fav. The tandoori were juicy and well cooked. Not sure how to describe this. It's different from other tandoori I've tasted before. Don't forget to order their Naan (dip it with the mint sauce- it's awesome). You gotta try it yourself. This stall is always packed during dinner time until late night. This is recommended and a must try!



Writing about all these makes me even more hungry. And one of the best things about Malaysia is the fact that you can easily find any of these food stated above...anytime...anywhere...24 hours a day.

That is why I ♥ Malaysia. There's varieties of delicious food here and I'm thankful and proud to be one.
Hmmmm should I say 'Malaysia Truly Asia' *cliche eh*
-____-

 Happy tummy.... :D

This video with Michael Groban in it is way too cute!
