JB trip for good food!

Image
I love JB for their nice and cheap food! Thankful for a future brother in law who stays in JB. Did I mention I love all day breakfast? Well, I love breakfast set, even McDonalds' big breakfast. But usually, it means to wake up early if we want to eat that. Even when McDonalds extends its breakfast hours to 12pm, I think it's still very early for me to wake up on weekends just to be able to have my favorite dish. =P Went Faculty of Caffeine for nice "Generous Breakfast" (name of their all day breakfast). YUMMYLICIOUS! *thumbs up* Then to 三楼炒米粉, because only I fancy the breakfast menu as dinner and the rest wasn't full from their cakes & salads ordered at FOC. The fried bee hoon is the type I like, Short short ones which you can eat them in 1 mouth without biting to cut them off. Not too oily or salty either, just the right taste for me. Curry fish head was very fresh though the price at RM50 feels a bit steep. Signature tofu was awesome! Sa

MDA-WDA Grant scheme with FM Pop Music School

I have submitted 2 lyrics for FM Pop Music School Hits Lyrics Songwriting course application. If I made it, I would be able to get grant from MDA-WDA for the course and finally get a chance to learn lyrics writing from my fave local lyrics writer, 小寒。 When I got to know of the submission, it was one week away from the deadline. There were 6 songs for us to choose from, we need to rewrite lyrics for 2 of these songs : 1) 喬毓明《淚若雨下》 2) 吳莫愁、李代沫《取名回憶的時光》 3) 信 《恨愛不成鋼》 4) 李佳薇《分隔線》 5) 林倛玉、插班生《訣別書》 6) 劉晉旭《小子當家》 The 1st song I attempted was (1), I kept listening to the song for many days, over 100 times, in the office and at home. But I can never complete the song by putting the lyrics into place. This song is too powerful! Perhaps because this song is written by non other than 小寒 herself. Then I told myself, since I need to write 2 songs, why don't I pick another song and produce one 1st? Therefore, I proceed to choose (4) and finish it within 1/2 a day. And that was 1.

The Journey 《一路有你》

I've heard numerous good reviews about this movie before I went. Though I would say the movie has not disappoint me, the pace is a little bit slow. Just that wee bit, it won't affect your mood for the movie too much. What did I do at the 1st scene that earned my tears? I looked at my watch. WHY?! I know I would like to come home and blog on this movie no matter how tired I am. Answer was just less than 30mins of the show... There are certainly alot of touching scenes in this movie. It's about family, what do you expect? A family is all about love, kinship, the stuff which makes you cry or at least touched. A particular scene that has the most impact on me was when a wife said something along this line, "He said, we should go travel while we still can and not wait." Dad came to my mind. His wish was to bring Mum for an overseas holiday. He didn't has the chance to do so though. In 2011, my siblings and I helped to fulfill his wish. W

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve trekking!

Kor jio-ed us along for his trekking training at BTNR. Together, the 6 of us, Kor, Ziyue, 2nd Aunt, 2nd Uncle in law, Shannon & I started at about 7.45am on the trek led by Kor. Ended at about 9.45am, quite fast when we have a young kid and 1st timer trekker, Ah Non with us. =P It was only after the trek, did we know Kor's back pack weighs a whopping 26kg. I tried carrying it. Oh man, it's no joke when you trek with that. Now, that explains Kor's skinny legs & lean body. It was a fun and enjoyable bonding session; enjoying the smell of nature, holding Zy's hands down the "obstacles" course, perspiring after the trek, chit chatting with the family. A pity Mummy has asthma, plus the fact that she's too lazy to even walk. If not, it would be fun to have our own walk frequently too. (We must think of a way to make her walk! *Of course, it can't be too tedious.*) This is definitely a healthy way to bond. Glad Kor asked us along this time

In The Dark 《怨鬼》

Well, I'm glad my winning streak is back and is definitely enjoying all my winnings. =) Won a pair of tixs to a horror movie. My mum & I love watching horror movies. This is definitely not the scariest movie we have watched. However, there are a few scenes that really scared us. If I'm not wrong, this is a Malaysian production. For horror movies, my favourite is still Thailand production. I've got to say, this is really a good movie. With hidden education meaning in the story plot and the twist, I give this movie a 9/10. If you are a horror movie lover like I do, give this movie a chance. Oh, I've got to mention this. The 1 point which this movie falls short of being perfect was due to 1 particular movie goer who watched this show with us. She was not wrong at all. In fact, she make our movie night an enjoyable one. There was 2-3 times she got scared by the scene. However, her loud "AAAHHHHH!" was always 1-2sec slower than the rest of us. Which mean, we ha

The winning streak strikes & continue for 2014!

This blog has been extremely quiet. Well, with so many new social media website coming out, not many people continue writing their blog. And yah, sadly it includes me as well. As I was on my way walking to get some groceries, this thought just flashed through my mind, "Hey! Been a long time since I've blogged, I should start writing again." Why? For a couple of reasons, as one ages, memory starts failing. With a blog, the date is captured whenever I blogged on an event. Few years down the road, I can look back and reminisces the good times. It stimulates the brain as well. Writing helps develop the brain. (You have got to think as you write, right?) Not that I've not been using my brain recently but I need to stimulate them abit more before cobwebs start taking over. So for a start, or rather a restart, let's look at what I've won recently! 2 lucky draw chances for myself in Great Radio Games 2014. 2 chances for Ah Tan & a
