To KL & Back Again

I went to KL yesterday.

It was a just a day trip but a damn tiring one. We planned to leave at 8 am but I had a very tiring Saturday so I ended up sleeping in the entire evening and woke up at 10 pm. I actually went to Tesco to shop at 11 pm and got home at almost 1 am. Haha.

We reached KL at almost 12 pm, then straight away went to bakery shops and bought lots of stuff – chocolates, cake mix, drinks etc. After having fun like a kid in a toy store, we went to Berjaya Times Square for lunch and reached there at almost 4 pm. Wow, I haven’t been there in ages because majority of things have changed especially the food court. It’s so much better now and the best thing is that it’s located on the lower ground floor instead of the lonely 10th floor. I had Japanese teriyaki chicken bento. Surprisingly they’re quite cheap. And you have to use a prepaid card to pay for the food.

It actually taste quite good too except I’ve had better chawanmushi before at Yoshinoya. I miss yoshinoya which is no longer available in Malaysia :( Their chawanmushi was damn good – they had mushroom and crabs but then they toned it down but the price remained which upsets me. Now they’re completely gone. Blah. This chawanmushi had only 4 small pieces of crab sticks, that’s it. Bit disappointed.

Anyways, then I went to ‘Low Yat Plaza‘ and FINALLY bought myself the laptop table I’ve always wanted. I think this is like the 4th or 5th table. It has low quality built but what the heck. I found exactly the one I wanted after a long search. I wonder how come they don’t have any tables in my city until I have to go to KL to search for it. I hope this one will last longer than the ones I had.

I also bought a new modem router because my old one finally died, I think. It’s a Belkin and they said I have a lifetime warranty but I’m not gonna claim the warranty because it’s pretty outdated. Now I have a better modem router (D-Link) and it’s cheaper than Belkin. It’s working fine now and I finally can use my streamyx again. Even though I had streamyx so much because it’s so slow, at least it doesn’t have limited bandwidth. Unlike my P1 Wimax, even though the speed is good, but I only have 30Gb bandwidth a month. I wanna play second life again.

So we finally left KL at 6.15pm and got stuck in traffic jam for a bit. That’s one thing I don’t miss about KL – the massive traffic jam. But luckily after a while I accidentally found the highway back to Ipoh so we didn’t get delayed and left for Ipoh. However my uncle thought we’d visit a relative – we got lost and spent over an hour to search for the place only to find out they were not at home. :\ I was already too tired and sleepy and I had to stop at 2 different rest stops to take a quick nap. Plus it was drizzling so it was like a perfect weather to sleep.

Well I finally reached my home at almost 12 am. Had to speed a bit otherwise I’d fall asleep in the car. I was really sleepy and tired and my right knee was hurting like hell. Thank God there was no scary experiences on the highway like the last time except a couple of minor ones in Kl where I almost drove my car to hit other car. My mistake.

I spent the entire day today sleeping wtf. I had to wake up at night to go to class but now it’s 4 am and I’m wide awake. Gah. Oh well.

I am in KL/PJ now. Haven’t been back here for months. Yesterday was hell because I drove from 8 am straight from my hometown in Ipoh to Melaka and reached at about 12 pm or so. It was the first time going long distance with my new Kia Forte car and boy, it was awesome compared to my tiny Kancil that served me loyally for 5+ years. The best thing was the ‘auto cruise’ feature that allows the car to move on itself without me having to keep my feet pressing the pedal. I didn’t think that feature is such a big deal but trust me, if you’re like me, it IS! I’m glad I chose Kia Forte 2.0 which has that feature. Because of that, my legs weren’t tired.

In Melaka, we visited my uncle’s friend, talked in her extreme hot house, then went cruising in Melaka. It was very tiring but I did get to buy lots of chocolate moulds! I went crazy. I can go back home and go crazy making chocolates. Then drove back to PJ and missed an exit and got stuck in massive traffic jam! I reached my apartment at 8 pm only to find out that there was no electricity and water, wtf. So had to find hotel room and luckily we found one :D

Last night when I was looking for bread, I found this! -

MACARON!!

Ok, so it’s the current craze.. these sweet french cookie is so awesome! They got such nice ‘feet’ on the macaron.. I tried to make them but it was such an epic fail but I will not give up. Today I’m hunting for more.. I know cupcake chic sells them now so I’m gonna go crazy and buy them and get some cupcakes as well.

After that I’m gonna go to KLCC and hunt for some.. would be super expensive though. I have no time to go anywhere else though :( I’m probably gonna spend a long time at Kinokuniya. Then back to Ipoh. Alright gonna go get ready now.

I wanted to post this part two last week but so much things happening that I had to delay.

Read PART 1 of this post

I didn’t wanna go on the last day of MSAM but I wanted to register for something so I had to and went in the morning. I met with the people I promised to meet and I just sat there from 1 pm till 2.30 pm just chatting. They blocked one side of the road already since the deputy prime minister and education minister, Tan Sri Dato’Haji Muhyiddin Yassin will be coming for the closing.

Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia (MSAM) 2011 PART 1

UPDATE: Read PART 2!

I have finally made posting blog much more easier now so expect old posts that I’ve been delaying coming up soon. More on this soon but right now I wanna talk about an event we had for the past 1 week here in Ipoh.

It is called “Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia (MSAM) 2011” that was held at Kompleks Sukan Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh (MBI) from 20th April until 26th April 2011. In English, it’s an event involving stocks, mutual funds and everything relating to investments. The event was organized by “Permodalan Nasional Berhad’ or PNB. PNB is one of Malaysia’s leading asset managers.

This event was huge. It’s unfortunate that it lasted for only a week. I noticed they built the tent thing for more than 2 weeks… all that hard work for only a week’s worth of event. Wow. But it’s not all just about banks, investments and asset management. There were other exhibitors too including cars, government bodies, and other companies, even food.

This is PART 1. PART 2 will be up tomorrow I hope.

Be warned: PICTURE HEAVY!

Anna Sui & Playboy Perfume Review & Mila AF4

Like I always say, I have a lot that I want to post, lots of pictures I want to post but I never did. A lot of things keep happening that made me feel so lazy to blog nowadays. This is not cool. I bought my iMac with a hope that I will become more productive but unfortunately I become less and less productive! My hometown is starting to get to me. I feel lazy here. I don’t feel like doing anything here except sleep. It’s driving me insane because then I will get all depressed thinking about the time I’ve wasted in this dull city.

Anyways.

On April 3rd, I went shopping with my friend. We went to Ipoh Parade and at first I just wanted to look around because I’ve been spending thousands, yes, THOUSANDS in past couple of months (more like thousands in a month) so I’m really broke right now but who am I kidding? I can never go back home without even spending a buck on something x.x I decided to buy these: -

ANNA SUI’S FLIGHT OF FANCY AND PLAYBOY FOR WOMEN FRAGRANCE!

You see, I bought quite a cheap but really nice perfume a short while ago and after less than 5 use, it wouldn’t work! It won’t spray out the perfume.. wtf. So desperate, I went looking for another cheap perfume and found Playboy perfume for around RM45 which contains the perfume and deodorant in a box. There were 3 types – Play It Spicy, Play It Sexy & Play It Lovely.

The bottles are soooo cute!

I smelled Play It Spicy first and it was very nice! It does give the ‘spicy’ feel.. then I tried Play It Sexy, uh.. didn’t like it. It was a common smell to me and doesn’t even feel sexy with it.. but Play It Lovely is also very nice! I was basically torn between the two – Spicy and Lovely.. at last I decided to choose Lovely because it has a softer smell.. maybe soon I’ll get Spicy.

It also comes with a deodorant bottle (it’s in one box, but you can get them separately).

Then I went to a perfume store that we’ve never entered before. Didn’t even know there was a perfume store there carrying lots of different perfumes that we didn’t have before at the mall. Then I saw Anna Sui’s Flight of Fancy! I got to know the perfume from WenPink‘s entry. First thing that caught my eyes was the design of the bottle resembling a peacock… it’s very nice!

But it’s not just the look.. as soon as I tried the smell, I instantly fell in love with it! It has a very soft smell. Out of all the perfumes I tried, I liked this one the most. However there is one more fragrance that I really love – Hello Kitty for Woman!

I LOOOOVE the smell! I first tried this when there was a toys fair in PJ last year. If I’m not mistaken the ones for kids does not have alcohol? But I don’t like the smell for the kids.. but for woman it’s very nice! Kinda fruity-like smell. I wanted it badly. Unfortunately I couldn’t spend on both because then I’ll be extremely broke and I needed to go to KL so I decided to choose Anna Sui because there was only one bottle left, and there was a good discount. It was RM200 but I bought it for RM16x-ish.. I saw the perfume at Sasa store and they were selling it at RM180-ish.

So there goes my experience on purchasing my first expensive perfume haha. I can’t believe I haven’t bought my all time favorite yet – Lancome’s Hypnose. Maybe next time.

Also during that day, at another mall, we saw Mila AF! She was the winner of this extremely stupid Malaysian reality singing show called Akademi Fantasia that’s not even up to par with American Idol… no no no. It far worse. Anyways. I hate that show. Never cared about it but it was a surprise to know Mila was coming that night… all the fuss about her being very small are true! She is VERY SMALL! And she was even wearing high heels but still look very small. Her hair was bigger than her, I kept wondering if the hair would be too heavy for her haha.

It was still cool to see her.
