An Apple A Day Keeps The Fats Away

I just bought two packs of red apples to today. 

I'm starting my apple diet tomorrow because i heard from a friend who lost weight by eating apples. It is said that if you eat an apple 15 minutes before your meal you will lose weight. Apples are high in fiber and water so if you eat an apple it will make you feel full so when you eat your meal you will eat less of it because of the apple you have eaten earlier.

So whose with me on my apple diet ??

An Apple A Day Keeps The Fats Away

My 1st Cheese Burger @ The Bee

Before this is was all chicken, chicken, chicken, pork, chicken chicken burgers.

So I took a step forward today in my foodie world and ordered a cheeseburger for the first time at The Bee in Jaya One - PJ.

I never knew beef patty burgers could taste so juicy !! Before this whenever i taste beef it always leaves a bad after taste in my mouth and sometimes the smell of it just makes me make my face like this - >__<""

This Cheeseburger at The Bee is really worth your money because the patty is almost as thick as your THUMB!!! And when you take your first bite, the meat just melts in your mouth along with the cheese and the more you munch the more juicy it gets. MMMMmm !!! You really can't taste the beefy taste.

I know the fries looks like a typical bunch you can get from McD - BUT NO!!!
You absolutely CANNOT get this from McD because although it may look the same - IT IS NOT THE SAME !!! McD's fries get cold and soggy but here it's fresh out from the fryer and still crunchy crunchy even after you slowly eat the burger.

The cost?
RM15 + 10% tax = RM16.50


To me it's a reasonable price considering it's location in Jaya One -PJ.

Beside the Cheeseburger, my friends had the Club Sandwich with chips, The Bee Burger - thumb size juicy beef patty and lastly Chili Cheese Fries.


If you're ever at Jaya One you better look out for The Bee because it's a must eat location for food lover~

Talent is Never Enough

I have just started this book called 'Talent is Never Enough' by John C. Maxwell - Yes, I read. It was an early Christmas gift I received from my university. Frankly it was for the 1st year scholars of 2011 but there were extras so me and another friend helped ourselves to one.

It's been awhile since I've picked up a non-comical, fictional, or whatever book.

I just went through the introduction and i kinda like it - Omg I've never liked a non-comical, fictional or whatever book!

This is my understanding of the introduction;
Everyone has a talent. Some are just naturally gifted and some work hard to obtain it. Having a talent alone will NOT guarantee you success in life. A lot must be done before anyone can truly be successful because having a talent is just the beginning. John C. Maxwell points out that everyone can be a talent-plus person. A talent-plus person simply means someone who has a talent and makes the right choices in life will succeed. What's the use of having a talent no one has but make all the wrong choices?

"The key choices you make - apart from the natural talent you already have - will set you apart from others who have talent alone."

I don't know whose quote is that because it wasn't stated in the book. But not bad right? I'm reading something good for once. I have 13 more chapters to go and I'm gonna finish this book! For real this time! No halfway or quarter-way or no-way! It's All-The-Way!

Jung Sungha in UCSI University, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia (4th Dec 2011)

Sixteen year old Jung Sungha is no ordinary Korea boy. He is the fingertip guitar prodigy of our generation and an amazing on at that.

He is a polite scrawny kid with a sweet smile and killer mad guitar skills. Some people are just born talented and Sungha happened to be one of them.

 He arrived in Malaysia at 9.00AM and had little time to go site seeing as he had to practice for his two shows in UCSI University. The first show was at 5pm – 6pm and then it was the signing session for his CDs and T-shirts. Some people brought their own guitars and ukulele for Sungha to sign. Finally the 1^st session ended shortly after 7pm and it was time to wait for the 2^nd show to begin at 8pm.

At 7.45pm the doors of the Recital Hall opened to people to be seated. UCSI University’s recital hall has never been filled so quickly. It was a full house and was filled in record time. Audiences ranged from little children to the elderly were nicely seated at their designated seats and soon after 8pm, the emcee stepped on stage and introduced the talented Jung Sungha and the crowd went wild.

 People would think after performing so many times at countless of stages Jung Sungha would sound more used to the atmosphere. But no. As he stepped onto the Recital Hall’s stage, Sungha dressed in a black blazer over a white T in skinny jeans and red sneakers sounded as timid as he usually is in his youtube videos politely bowed and introduced himself.

Throughout the whole almost 1 and a half hour seesion, Sungha played a total of 12 sets of songs. 9 sets of songs by guitar and 3 sets of songs by ukulele and the audience could see that he had fun with it. It was originally 10 songs but the crowd and the emcee begged for two more and Sungha, although tired, happily agreed.

At 9.30pm, the Recital hall emptied and everyone with a CD, T-shirt or an instrument packed the classroom outside for Sungha’s 2^nd autograph session. Tired as he may seem, he granted all his fans wishes to take a picture with him and left everyone wanting more of his amazing guitar skills.

We hope that Sungha enjoyed his first time in Malaysia and will come back in the near future.

Ficelle Boulangerie & Patisserie

(I do not own this picture)

 (This picture i do own)

Have you heard of Ficelle Boulangerie & Patisserie before?

No not Levain Boulangerie & Patisserie, Ficelle.

They're like a sister branch of each other.

Levain is located in the heart of KL while Ficelle is located in somewhat a quiet secluded area in Taman Danau Desa.

I found out about Ficelle through a friend who happened to be in the area and word started to spread and soon me and my friends were all about wanting to go to Ficelle and we finally did.

(I do not own these two pictures)

 The inside is quiet similar to Levain just without the stone oven but the feeling is warm and homey.

And the breads are all not your typical sugar donuts and sausage buns.

(I own these three pictures)

 My friends and i went there around 7pm so by then the breads weren't so fresh anymore but that's just the outer part. The inside of the buns and pastries were still yummy to eat. And although it was late people still pack the bakery to buy Ficelle's bread.

(I do not own these three pictures)

Places like this normally make their own mushroom soup and boy do they know how to make their customers happy. The texture was thick and creamy and full of chunky mushrooms inside. It was made just nice and wouldn't be too rich to down it. This mushroom soup just topped Samosa's creamy mushroom soup.

A salad? Nope~ This is where you're wrong. 

It a Chicken Lasagna hidden under this forest of vegetables. I guess they knew i haven't been eating my veges lately so they had to make me make up for it. But once you reach the lasagna below, you wouldn't mind downing another forest of vegetables because it's totally worth it.

Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Mushrooms.

I'm sorry i don't know what to say about it because it was soooo delicious !

I'm a mushroom fan~ what can i say~

 (I own this picture)

Ficelle's pizza is unlike our Pizza Huts or Dominos. The crust is really crusty and the fillings are like an explosion of deliciousness in your mouth. This is a Cheesy Pizza and when i took a bite of the filling, all i could taste was cheese and not the dough. It was delicious as hell but too rich for me. If you're into cheesy food then you should try this when you visit Ficelle.

 Everyone loves dessert.

I don't know anyone who doesn't like dessert because if you don't like sweet, there's always bitter or sour desserts~

Even Gikwang from B2ST didn't lift his shirt up when B2ST was here on July !!

You wanna know who i really wanna see?

Sorry GD, TOP, Seungri and Daesung.

 They might sound weird at first but the more i listen the more i liked them.

And i didn't know The Wanted came to Malaysia early this year !

The youngest member, Nathen Sykes, he may be 18 or 19 but his voice is OMG

JYJ, previously part of TVXQ, is like the gods of K-pop.

I can't wait to see them in person especially Junsu !

2nd Korean Festival in Ampang, Malaysia

It was a warm Saturday evening on the 5th of November in Ampang, Malaysia and it was all by chance that my friends and I drove pass the Korean Town in Ampang Avenue to find that it was unusually crowded than before.

 

 Koreans filled the streets of Ampang Avenue like you've never seen before. 

K-pop music were being blasted on stage. Korean children running along with their toys and snacks in hand, Korean teenagers dressed up stylishly to be with their friends, and Korean uncles and aunties chatting away at a table filled with beer and soju. The atmosphere there made us feel like we were actually in Korea itself.

As you can see, the ajumas' are all working tirelessly to prepare their country's delicacies so that we Malaysians could have a taste of what's the fuss about Korean food.

Here we have an ajuma in orange t-shirt pounding the rice cake dough on a wooden board with a really big pounder. An ajuma in her traditional hanbuk cooking up some dukbokki for her hungry customers. An ajuma stretching across the sizzling hot grill to place skewers of spicy chicken meat on it. And then an ajuma in a cute yellow apron frying a sweet bun with sweet fillings inside on her hot pan. Our last ajuma with a cap is found also cooking up Korea's traditional snack food, dukbokki.

 You can never find better Korean food other than here. With all that's said, nothing was free at the Korean Festival and the food price wasn't anything like what our chee cheong fun cost. I'm talking RM5 for a stick of spicy chicken meat, I'm talking RM10 for a small cup of dukbokki, and I'm talking about RM6 for a bowl of Pat Bing Soo (shaved ice desert), its something like our ABC/ ais kacang here.

So if you're willing to spend for food then Ampang Avenue is the place you should visit for a pigout at their variety of BBQ restaurants. I highly recommend Han WooRi if you're looking for a upscale Korean BBQ restaurant with a nice environment.

Just My Luck

A string of bad luck has been happening to me and my friends ever since this month started.

1. Friend A's car got 'kissed' by another car from behind while it was raining like hell.
2. Friend B's car's passenger side window got smashed by robbers on a motorcycle.
3. Friend C got robbed by the robbers on the motorcycle while sitting in Friend B's car.
4. Friend D's car couldn't start in the morning for work and while driving home one of the tyre got flatten.
5. On the same day Friend C got robbed, two more friends of Friend C also got robbed  and they were hurt.

And as for me, the week before i started my internship my right knee suddenly started having this very excruciating sharp pain. Couldn't fully bend or straighten without the feeling of a 1000 needles stabbing my knee. I still have the pain but not that bad anymore. And then the day before i started my internship, i sprained my neck muscle and couldn't turn or even nod my head. And then i lost my house keys when i went out with my friends. Next i was driving my dad's newly brought 2nd hand Toyota Unser and the front left tyre just popped while i was driving on the highway - Again. My latest unlucky event was a few ago i lost my parking ticket in Leisure Mall and i had to fork out RM20 just to get my car out. I have never lost my parking ticket before and so coincidentally it got lost while all this other bad luck was happening.

I never believed in karma. 

Do good things and good things shall happen to you,

Do bad things and bad things shall happen to you.

I'm very sure i didn't kill, rob, frame, betray, torture anyone or had a black cat walk pass behind me !!! But i do swear/curse sometimes. You don't think all my cursing and swearing accumulated and had a mega explosion of bad luck do you??

My friend said it's probably because it's the end of the year and all of our bad luck just pours out to make space for some good luck for the new year. 

But seriously, I-HAVE-NEVER-BEEN-SO-UNLUCKY-IN-MY-ENTIRE-LIFE !!!!

Lady of Luck please rid me of my misfortune and grant me a little sunshine of luck for now during this course of two month internship.

Greyson Chance In Malaysia

Malaysia has recently acquire plenty and i mean plenty of international celebrities. 

The most hottest one now is the legendary Sir Elton John. Candles in the wind or candles in the window...i can't remember but i love that song.

Anyways I'm not here to talk about Sir Elton John. I'm here to talk about young Greyson Chance who found fame in - you guessed it - Youtube in 2010 by the anchor lady of The Ellen Degeneres Show, Ellen Degeneres herself.

His video of himself playing the piano and singing Lady Gaga's 'Paparazzi' blew viewers away and caught the attention of Miss Degeneres and she became Greyson's golden ticket into the fast lanes as this (now) 14 years old lad now strips across the seven seas to perform for his beloved fans that fell in love with his voice on Youtube.

It seems that nowadays anyone can become famous as long they have access to the internet. I seriously wonder what would happen if one day the whole world's internet connection were to be cut off (temporarily).

Come on. How many K.I.D.S became famous because of Youtube?

I can accept Justin Bieber because i like his music.

I guess i can only think of one for now... have you heard Bieber's 'Mistletoe' yet?

Rebeeeecca...WHO-THE-FUCK-DISCOVERED-HER...Black

Seriously, Youtube has many potential singers but they just had to choose...

R.E.B.E.C.C.A-O.M.G-S.O-A.N.N.O.Y.I.N.G-B.L.A.C.K.

If producers wanna make better money...please stop investing your money in people who sings like HER ! Find someone long term !!!

As for young Greyson Chance, I hope i win free tickets to his appearance at KL Live on the 11th of November 2011 which is like what 3 days? 

I'll support Greyson Chance over anyone who sings ridiculous annoying songs. Unless he turns out to be a stuck up, arrogant, asshole of a diva~ You can't predict how they will change in the future~

At least Justin Bieber still hasn't fallen into drinking, drugs, DUIs, fights, clubbing and all that yet. Who knows what will happen after he turns 18.
