One mission next semester, the final semester in JB,hoyeah!

End of 2010 is coming, which will also mark the beginning of 2011, a year I most dread about.

Why?

I am not going to write about it now because I have something more exciting and fun to write here.

As much as I despise being in JB, which is like so far away from my family and home, it is not all bad though. I am kinda priviliged to be studying here though because if not, I will never ever step my foot on the state of Johor. I have no relatives here, so chances are Johor will still be in my never-visit-states list.

More exciting is JB is a walk away from Singapore. Okay, that's too much of exaggerating, but it's kinda true. Singapore is just nearby. The only thing that stops us, or rather me from going is the money issue, with the currency bla bla bla. That obviously does not permit me to go Singapore as many times as I wish.

Yes, I was in Singapore last July and it was indeed a fun trip. But, I do wanna go there again next year like so badly.

And the one place I wanna go see and visit is...

are you ready...

Any guess?

No?

Okay, it's the new iconic landmark of Singapore, which is the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. I could die if I could stay there even for just a night! ~in my dreams of course~

I read about the hotel from a blog run by the lovely Hanie Hidayah, Just Another Average Jane. She was one of the lucky bloggers who had the opportunity to stay at the hotel and she had written and shared some awesome stories and pictures of the amazing hotel.

So, what is so special about the hotel?

First of all, the building, the architecture or whatever you call it, is AMAZEBALLS. If  Petronas tower in Malaysia is twins, this one is triplets.

Could you just die? The building is so fascinating to me, you can see it from afar. I just can't wait to go to Marina Bay and snap tons of pictures with this building as the background. Because that's the least I can do, I think because there is no way I can afford to stay there.

Another thing about this hotel that really takes my breath away is the Marina Bay Sands Skypark. It is located on the top of the 50-storey building and let me tell you, the scenery is breathtaking and TO DIE FOR! I could die!!!

Look at the amazing infinity pool and the panoramic view, can you say more?

Not forgetting, the viewing/observation deck situated on top of the third tower of Marina Bay Sands Hotel is absolutely one hot spot to chill and relax. With the beautiful view and perfect scenery of the whole Singapore City, COULD YOU DIE?

I told my sister about this hotel, and to my surprise, she had been there before during her last visit to Singapore. She was given a private tour around the hotel by her ex-staff who is currently working there. How could she not tell about it? Envy!!!

Have I mentioned here that there is also a shopping mall situated right behind the hotel? DIE DIE DIE

With only a few pictures I put up here, who out there could die by just looking at it?

I COULD!

It is AMAZING and I couldn't wait for next year to go visit Marina Bay to see and check this hotel out myself. By that, I mean from afar. T_T'''

Unless, somebody filthy rich happens to read my blog and is generous and kind enough to give me a free stay at the luxurious hotel, the humble me is more than willing to accept it. Hahahahaha.

That's all.

Toodles!

i-City Shah Alam

I have been hearing stories about i-City in Shah Alam.

People are buzzing about how beautiful the place is.

They have their pictures at i-City on Facebook and even made it as their profile pictures.

So I was wondering, is it really something so cool everyone should go see?

How awesome is the place? Is it a must see place in Malaysia right now?

I don't know. Looking at my friends' pictures on Facebook, I don't see anything special about the place. I didn't get really excited to really go and check out the place.

Since I was in KL last weekend, my sister and I decided that, why not go to see i-City ourselves.

So, we did.

I gotta say the moment I saw the sea of lights in front of my very eyes, I was kind impressed and taken by surprise to see the dazzling light showcase.

The place was huge and there were like lots and lots of lights. And with the different kind of shapes and colors, the place looked like a theme park to me, with millions of LED lights to brighten up the night.

It was drizzling when we arrived but we thought it would be just alright since we'd come all the way from KL.

I think since Christmas is just around the corner, they had this little small area where they put up like replicas of a Santa and stuffs like that.

And there was also this giant life-size replica of a giraffe that I really wanted to take picture with. 

But, only after just about 10 minutes there, the drizzling rain suddenly turned to be cats and dogs. It was really unfortunate that we didn't get to see all of the stunning lights there. We managed to get only a few photos due to that.
But all in all, i-City was indeed one hell of a pretty little place to visit.

I must say that I would come here again to take more pictures and visit the entire place.

As for now, I can proudly say and tell people that I have visited i-City Shah Alam.

Toodles!

Yesterday...

...I went to sleep with this

and woke up the next morning to this...

 Breathtaking it was. Love.

Toodles!

Are you a Sushi lover?

I don't know about everyone else but I do LOVE sushi. I could die!
Sushi is so delicious, don't you guys think so?

Heaven!

I am determined this time!

I have always been complaining about how fat llooking I am now.
Ok,I don't just look fat, but I am fat.
There;s no question that I am bigger especially during this holidays where you have nothing else to do but to sleep and eat almost all the time. So unproductive. oh!

When I tell my friends that "I am fat!" or "I am getting fatter" or "I look fat, don't I?", the response would definitely belike "No, you are not, you look good" or "What? No la, you are just fine for a guy your height" or occasionally "If you are fat, than what does that make me?" hahaha :p

I know I may sound ungrateful because there are so many other people out there who are still struggling with obese issues, like they are fatter, by that I mean really really fat and my body is way better than theirs.
But I just could'nt help but to always compare and look back at how I used to look like before.
For those who already me for quite some time, they would know that I was thinner back then. I was really small than I am now.

I was once 63 Kgs and that was back in 2006, end of 2006 that was and I was still looking good in 2007. But since then, I started to gain more and more weight. and now I am 72 Kilograms.

2005

End of 2005

October 2006

October 2006

November 2006. And yeah, that was Cynthia. hehe

July 2007

September 2007

Okay. Pardon my shameless vanity. Hahaha.

Wondering why is there no current photos of mine for comparison? Hell NO am I gonna put it up here. Hahaha.

The truth is, I want to get back my old figure, I wanna look like how I used to.

But, from the way I am eating now, constantly non stop and enjoying the holidays like nobody's business, there's no way in the world that i am going to get thinner like in these pictures. But I seriously do want to.

So I know I have got to do something, especially when I am watching The Biggest Loser Asia on TV, I know nothing is impossible when it comes to losing weight and looking good, and most importantly, staying healthy. I definitely wouldn't want to die early of over-weight related illness. I gotta start now before it's too late.

With less than a month left for this semester break, I promise to myself that I am going to really watch what I eat and be careful with what I take. And of course, not forgetting a regular work out is vital as well. I have been reading a lot on the internet about diet tips, healthy food to eat, how stay in shape and healthy and so on especially from this blog, darkbatman.com .

Everything seems easy on paper.I know it's not gonna be easy but hell, nothing comes easy in life and I know I really have to put great effort and determination. Seriously, I wanna still look good even when I am in my 30s or 40s.

But of course, I don't want to be like reaching for the stars and have some  irrelevant goals. I kow I can't be like 65 kgs within a month. One step at a time, I believe. ;)

Oh, how I envy those skinny bitches out there who can eat just about anything but can never get fat.
Okay, I shouldn't complain. I am thankful and grateful for what I have. But, it never hurts to make yourself look and feel slightly better, right?  Hahahaha

Toodles!

The Sweetness of Doing Nothing

I woke up today pretty early, earlier than how I always do during the holidays.
All because I had made a plan to go out today.

So I did.

I went to Jusco because my sister asked me to buy some stuffs for her, so I went and it didn't even occur to me that it is a public holiday today and there was a massive crowd at Jusco. It was jam-packed with people and I was struggling looking for a parking spot.

I was realy tired of driving around looking for a parking spot. What I did was, I parked the car by the road side, waited in the car,hoping that somebody would come, get their car and leave for me their parking spot. And yes, I was lucky that miracle happened. I got a parking spot, but only after waiting for almost 15 minutes. T_T'''

I actually planned to catch a movie, any movie for that matter because I was too bored, but since it is a public holiday today and people went ballistic wanting to watch movies as well, so I decided to just cancel the plan.

I went to buy the things my sister wanted and I immediately went out from Jusco because I just couldn't stand being there. There were too many people I got suffocated.

So I told myself, I didn't get to watch movie, so why not treat myself with a little something something and what's better than indulging myself in a nice yummy frozen yogurt. Hehehehe :D

I've been hearing about this one Yogurt store that sells awesome frozen yogurt and some of friends have also been talking and buzzing about tit. I googled yesterday and I found out that Tutti Frutti is available in Ipoh and it is among their first outlet open outside Klang Valley. I heard so many great and awesome feedback about the yogurt, so I wanted to give a try, and I did.

Tutti what?

Tutti Frutti y'all!!!

Strawberry Field with some toppings I forgot what :p

Since it was my first time there, I decided to give strawberry flavor a try. I am not sure whether or not I can mix the different flavored yogurt together but I think I could but I didn't. Hahaha.

I put some toppings on top, I paid at the counter, I sat down and Oh My Almighty! It tasted like heaven!

I am not really a big fan of yugort, but Tutti Frutti frozen yogurt is definitely one TO DIE FOR!

I am suddenly in LOVE!!!

I think I can eat 20-30-4-50 cups of them! Damn it is so good!

I like the whole concept of the store. It's so simple yet very nice and chic. Before I forget, it is a self-served store where the customers will help themselves and o everything on their own.

The station where you choose the desired flavor.

And add on the toppings at the counter.

I am a very happy person today. Despite the chaotic moment at Jusco earlier, the frozen yogurt just made my day!

With a magazine to read in one hand, Tutti Yogurt Strawberry Field frozen yogurt in the other, could you ask for more?
Remember a quote from the movie Eat,Pray,Love, "The Sweetness of Doing Nothing". I guess this is it.

It was bliss, absolutely! I had a wondeful day! Muah!

I gotta go now to watch the latest episode of Gossip Girl. Bye!


p/s: If you happen to be in Ipoh, the Tutti Frutti Store is located at G-OR-3, Ground Floor, De' Garden, No. 3, Persiaran Medan Ipoh, Medan Ipoh, 31400 Ipoh, Perak or you can visit their website here to check their other stores in Malaysia. Trust me, it's worth your every penny!

Toodles!

Happy Birthday Adam and Azwan!

Last Saturday, we had a little birthday celebration for my two nephews. Adam's birthday was actually on the 29th of November, but since we all gathered together on the 4th, so we decided to celebrate it together with Azwan's birthday which was on the 4th. Adam just turned 3 and Azwan or rather Iwan, like how we call him, turned 15.

Both were DELICIOUS! I just died!

Double celebration!

This kiddo loved his cake so much because there was a photo of him on top of the cake.

Vain enough? hahaha. Love him!

  Happy birthday you two! Much LOVE to everyone! Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuah~!

Can you really do it?

Found this picture here.
Quite motivational, telling how LIFE is supposed to be like.
But,as much as I like everything written in this picture, LIFE is not as easy as we think it is.
Change is of course possible, but it is not that easy.
We don't want to be like "reaching for the stars", do we?

I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it
