Small Potluck High Tea in Kajang

Well..having a significant other would entail having to also "layan" her close friends and also joining in the fun.

We were to have a potluck in Kajang, so we decided to cook a pasta. I made a French Dressing Vinaigrette Pasta Spirals with Cheese Cocktail Sausages.

Here are some of the pictures of the food and the do at Kajang. We picked up Juliette's god parents and off we went.

Later we also had some Satay Kajang :)

It was a simple trip which reminded my wife of her Varsity days in Kajang UPM.

The Iphone from Apple - My review with a Fujifilm Finepix F47

Hahaha...don't expect a long technical review on the product as its been done
already.

I am doing it in a layman's point of view. Actually i just purchased a Fujifilm Finepix F47 Compact camera.

I am practicing some shots, and so happen, my boss was jailbreaking 2 ipods and passed on one to me to test. There 2 shots of my colleague oso.

IT IS THE PHONE WITH THE BEST INTERFACE AT THE MOMENT. I don't care what you say and how you argue, but there is not one phone on the market that can match it for speed, smoothness of executing apps, and also the fluidity of changing between Apps and also not to mention the zooming features.

I decided to take some pictures with my Camera and tested some shots with and without the flash function. I think i've made a good buy at RM 698.00 for the camera and also an additional RM 80.00 for the acrylic LCD protector and a mini lens protector.

Comes with a carrying case and a 2 G.B SD Card.

Here's a short specs on the camera

Bukit Tinggi Colmar Resort

(Pictures will be up later)

Well...since it's been awhile since i blogged. I thought i'd do a few in one shot...hahaha el cheapo that's moi`.

So anyways, last Labour Day, me and the family decided to go up to Bukit Tinggi and take a break. We decided on many places and were too ambitious so we ended up with Bukit Tinggi.

It looked good on the website and though there were questionable reviews on the place.
It seemed that the reviews were right....the place there is quite stagnant these days...tourist are the come once and thats the last time they'd go to Colmar ever again.

Accomodations :

The rented apartment ON the other hand was well worth the price. Approximately RM 440 ++ and has 2 rooms with King Size beds and 1 hall. There were 3 bathrooms so it was great not having to fight for rights though.

Food :

The hotel buffet was of more worth then eating at the other restaurants, BUT the biggest peeve was the fact that it was SO FREAKING hot i think hitting over 35'C and THERE WERE NO FREAKING FANS IN ANY OF THE RESTAURANTS. To top it off....some of the Restaurant's Kitchen had their doors open to add to the heat wave as its crazy hot in there. Who could blame the chefs and waiters ? I'd do the same thing....

You see...the food is crazy expensive, 5 pcs of bread/bun if you like, 2 Guava juice, 1 can of 100 plus, 1 mango juice and thats RM 70.00. Can you believe the price?

Mineral water is RM 4.00 per bottle, Soft drinks ? RM 7.00, Ice cream ? RM 2.00

Mad....

Activities :

Nothing much to see...the Rabbit farm was NOT open at 9.00 am even if there were shuttle services to the place.

The Japanese Gardens were beautifull and lush, however, full of people since its such a small place so it can get crowded and your photo shots would have other tourist in the background.

Botanical Gardens we could not make it coz we were expecting the last bus service so we decided to hop back home and rest.

Night time every one is practically room bound since the place is like a dead ghost town.

There was a show, called HOLLYWOOD SHOW???? Why the question mark? Because as my wife puts it, isn't this a french resort, where's the french culture the french feeling, all we get is a bollywood type of macarena mambo cross dressers running around lip synching to "You're Just Too Good To Be True....Can't Take My Eyes Of A You..."

So that was practically the day we had at Colmar Resort, Bukit Tinggi.

WE DID HOWEVER manage to get some pretty good photo shots, Fon my sister-in-law is getting better and better at using her camera to get those great photo angles for Natasha and Juliette.

All it all....it was a HOT but stress free day...hehehe

I lost a phone....

Recently my wife registered for a post paid line and downgraded from a Black Berry to a normal 3G phone.

She wasn't too pleased with the LG KU350's interface and had a hard time using it. So i swapped my N73 with her.

A month haven't even passed by when last Saturday, at 12:30 am, right after i bottle fed Juliette and laid her to sleep again making sure her eye's were shut tight and my tummy rumbled, so I decided to go to the John and let her rip.

During the "Process" i heard a sound akin to a metal spoon clanking on the side of a mug. I tot it must be neighbor's kids since their dad comes home at 1 am they'd be awake and quite rowdy at that. So i ignored it, after completing my mission at the John i went back to discover my little Juliette using my phone to dunk in a mug of tea.

To my horror she was smiling, sigh what can you do? Kid's don't know any better.....

So scratch one phone...

Using a backup phone now....sigh....

A Tear Jerker of a Song....

You know ure getting old if you start to really listen to songs from ages ago....you see...lately i enrolled into night school to further my education.

So i spend quite some time traveling from the office to the class and that back home pass 10 pm at night.

So one day....i was listening to some songs and i stumbled upon a Bryan Adam's track called "When you love someone....". For someone macho like me (cough cough....), it shouldn't affect my mood at all....but after going through a lovely marriage to Jasmin and being a parent to Juliette, it made me blinked. As my lovely colleague would say....."Dude....you've got some hormonal changes!!"

I mean....you know....when i really listened to the lyrics, it made me think of my family. I mean...damn it even affected the way i drive, making me more defensive, taking time out to signal properly, when prior to that, my colleagues tell me i am driving the wrong car (an MPV by the way) and should be driving a Mistu Lancer or an Evo what with the maniac skills i posses.

Phew....feels like an emotional meltdown if you tell me....hehehe well...i guess when you have a wife and kid, and a family to think of, you'd be a bit mellowed down.

Anyways... enjoy




Lyrics...

When you love someone - youll do anything
Youll do all the crazy things that you cant explain
Youll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

Youll deny the truth - believe a lie
Therell be times that youll believe you can really fly
But your lonely nights - have just begun
When you love someone

When you love someone - youll feel it deep inside
And nothin else can ever change your mind
When you want someone - when you need someone
When you love someone...

When you love someone - youll sacrifice
Youd give it everything you got and you wont think twice
Youd risk it all - no matter what may come
When you love someone
Youll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

Westlife - Something Right

Lately I've been enamored by a song sung by Westlife. It's called "Something Right", it may sound gospel like, but the lyrics are really meaningful if you really listen to it.

Its the current song i have on my car and handphone....oh scratch that....i dun have my phone now since Juliette tried dunking my phone in my cup of tea....more on that later....

Sigh....just enjoy the music....

Something Right Lyrics

A.W.O.L

Aiya....like most people, i went AWOL for awhile. I've been so caught up with work, night classes and also with my health.

Lately i do not feel well so i had to go in and out of the clinic to have a check up. In addition to that i am attending night classes for MCSE 2003.

From Monday to Wednesday....very tiring at times to go through the work day then straight follow through with classes till 10 pm and reaching home at about 11 pm.

Wah seh....mati katak !

Here are some pictures of Juliette at 1 year 2 months + + lol !
