Cute, Fluffy & Yummy! Date: 16 September 2011   My lil bro, Am had once introduced me to these tiny "fake" durians. I call it "durian palsu ". The truth is, it was not exactly 100% fake. To me, the dessert was very unique and creative. One day, just out of the blue, I wanted them!! Can I blame it on pregnancy cravings or nafsu liar ? So Am went to Mid Valley to buy some for his demanding sister. He said it costs RM10 for 1 pack!! Me + the whoooole family digged in and in seconds, none was left! Of course it can't beat the real thing... but it was nearly as good! It looks soooo fluffy! The tiny durians were made up of 3 layers: The outer layer from flour (I think), a layer of creame, and a layer of real durian . So in terms of percentage, it is only about 70% fake, hehe. After 1 bite, paused for photo - Can you see the 30% real durian? I have never personally went to Sumptuous Desserts so maybe one day, I'll look for it at Mid Valley to tr

Date: 17 September 2011 Venue: British Council Kuala Lumpur Center Wisma Selangor Dredging 142C Jalan Ampang 50450 KL (In front of KLCC) Hasben and I sat for our IELTS exam today! After days of preparation, our English language proficiencies are finally put to test. It was very nerve wrecking... we were unable to sleep even at 2 AM last night! Placement Test In July 2011, we took a placement test to determine our English language level. This test result is required if we want to join the English classes conducted by British Council. The placement test cost RM100 and is conducted 2-3 days weekly. We were tested on: 1) Grammar 2) Vocabulary 3) Reading/Comprehension 4) Speaking However, when we got our results, Hasben decided that he was confident enough to study on his own instead of enrolling into the classes. IELTS Test Today we woke up early to make sure that we arrived on time. The registration time is from 8AM-8.45AM . After 8.45AM, no one will be allowed

Author: Marian Keyes Honestly, this is a very mysterious story . The first half of it was a bit slow paced for me. However, it became more and more interesting - I just couldn't put the book down! Very creative from Ms Keyes. A bit different from her other books. My Synopsis: 66 Star Street, a flat in Dublin, home to couples, flatmates, and singletons. The neighbours did not mingle much with each other and minded their own businesses. One day, a special visitor came to 66 Star Street with a mission. It follows the lives of each occupant, analyzing them in order for it to make an important decision. No one can see this visitor but it has the ability to dive into their past memories and current thoughts. We follow the lives of: 1) Katie and her boyfriend Conall - Early 40s singletons finding love. 2) Matt and Maeve - A lovely couple with a very peculiar relationship. 3) Lydia and her Polish flatmates, Jan and Andrei - Having to tolerate each other's annoying hab

My First Business Stall - Just for Fun!~ Date: 24 August 2011 Setting up our booth. A Ramadhan Charity Bazar was conducted in KIPC, my workplace. Me, Sally, Kak Eja and Kak Yam joint venture to open our own booth, selling all sorts of things. Kak Yam was very successful in selling her mother's home made perfumes and some gorgeous brooches! Kak Eja, a professional business lady, was selling scarves and blouses. Me and Sally? We were the proud owners of Preloved Enterprise - selling our preloved items. I have always loved shopping and was very interested to be on the other side of the cash machine - not that we had any cash machines, hihi... My so called " cash machine " It was great fun but a bit tiring calling out to potential customers, who were mostly our officemates (I know, not so challenging). We sold a few items with ridiculously low prices. Some of them: Sally's gorgeous clothes: RM2!! My radio cassette player: RM5!! Kak Yam's accesories:   R

Date: 16 August 2011 Both me and Hasben (actually, I dragged Hasben to join) were nomintaed to attend a self motivation training at Concorde Hotel, Shah Alam. My first thought was: "I must be a really demotivated person to be nominated by HR". My second thought was: "What the heck! Let's travel and explore Shah Alam for free, wehooo!" (It is really easy for me to be motivated, I like free things! = p ) Anyways, Concorde Shah Alam is easy to find. It is quite close to the famous Blue Mosque. The room was okay, a typical setup. But the bed was huge! I did not like the bathroom though, it had this pee-ful smell. The toilet was old fashioned - no pipe for washing a.k.a istinjak (ewah!). As Malaysians are not use to tissue wiping, you can imagine the hardship of washing oneself with the little glass provided. Small TV... Hihi... The best part was the view from my room! The Blue Mosque - the largest mosque in Malaysia! Day time view   Night ti

A Date With Ustaz Zamri~ Date: 10 August 2011 "Apa dia adik-adik?" "ZAKAT!!" Such an adorable show. When I heard that Ustaz Zamri was coming to Kerteh for Forum Ramadhan, I was excited! He is practically a celebrity! The panel of ustazs. The forum was really good. The panels discussed on the advantages of Ramadhan and fasting in terms of spiritual and medical benefits. Half way through the forum, I had to attend a meeting, crappy! So below were a few points that I was able to capture.     Before the meeting, I won myself a book for answering correctly a quiz question... Yeah! Signed autograph from Ustaz Zamri... another Yeahh!! How some Muslims nowadays percieve the fasting month: 1) A month of hunger and thirst. They will only concentrate on eating as much as possible during sahur, and neglect ibadah. 2) A transition month to Eid Fitr They will buy new clothes, curtains, sell Raya cookies and biscuits as a preparation for Eid celebration. 3) A mont
