Hari Arthur 2009

Last Friday I got the chance to watch Black Eyed Peas performing live at Arthur's Day in Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach.

Arthur's Day refers to a series of music events which have been organised to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Guinness brewing company. The events will take place in the cities of Dublin, Kuala Lumpur, Lagos, New York and Yaounde on 24 September 2009.

In our case, we celebrated on 25 September 2009, because of time difference.

Entrance to where it all begins.


All (erm, almost) in black, following to the dress code "black party chic". Look at the crowd!


Kasey and Belle (visit her online boutique store!) :)


Bronze Zone, the place where we standing/sitted. It's totally waaaayyy far from the stage.


To Arthur!!!

The first BEP song I love was "Where is the love" (from BEP's third album, Elephunk) which was aired in 2003, and still everyone's favorite up till now. I bet everyone knows how to sing the chorus right? :)

Then my love for BEP moved on to "Hey Mama", "My Hump", "Shut Up, "Don't Phunk With My Heart" and now "I Gotta Feeling". Erm, I gotta admit, I hate that "I Gotta Feeling" song the first moment I heard it on the radio. I hate it as much as I hate "Boom Boom Pow". Totally not love at the first sight listening.

But the more Hitz.fm played "I Gotta Feeling" and "Boom Boom Pow", my love for their new song begin to grow. -_____- And now, it stuck in my head - I gotta feeling *woohooo* that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good night, that tonight's gonna be a good good night...

My new found friend - Jason and Belle.

The main attention that night was of course the Black Eyed Peas. They, as the VIP (Very Important Performers) performed last. Reshmonu, MC Hotdog, Danny One and Manhand performed (as opening act *yawnnn*), before BEP taking over the centre stage.

Reshmonu, MC Hotdog, Danny One and Manhand's performance were great and totally energetic but we used the time (while you were performing) for camwhoring. Oops, sorry! ;)

1st trial.


(after numerous failed trials in between)


Got hard time to capture a clear picture! -____- In the end, I used the highest ISO and end up with lotsa noise.

Trying to be artistic wtf. -___-

Finally, the best part has come!!! Black Eyed Peas! Black Eyed Peas! Black Eyed Peas! :D Sorry for awful pictures. I was standing way too far from the stage. All I ever able captured was the screen. :(

Their performance was great, and I had a good good night. In the middle of their performance, BEP asked for the lights to be turned off and got the crowd turned on their mobile phone. The result? Totally beautiful... :) As BEP sang "Where Is The Love", everyone did this:

You can search from Youtube directly - type "Black Eyed Peas Arthur's Day" and you will find videos on them. Here's one:

Black Eyed Peas shouted out loud that they LOVE Malaysia and would definitely be coming again! Woohoo! (heard that their Bangkok's concert in 2007 was "best damn live concert")!

P/S: Yayyy, I'm updating even more regularly! :) (and not super backdated post -____-)

Dodo, stupid yet cute *heart*

Yucky-yucky wtf

Hey everybody! I'm here again after a month of disappearance. Reasons of my disappearance this time: mental block. Yes... I can't think of anything to write anymore. There are many things happened in the past few months but I didn't feel like putting it on writing. Maybe my blogging enthusiastic spirit slowly disappearing and going to be replace by some other interest else, and it's no surprise that someday Blog Indulgence would be (one day) deleted. *sigh*

But as long as my blogging spirit is here (although little), I shall write backdated post hooray wtf. -_____- Sigh, no wonder my readers are running away from me. =_____=

Today I'm presenting to you a (super) backdated post on Yaki-Yaki Japanese Buffet Restaurant (clap clap clap wtf), which happened on March 2009. Yes, you can laugh at me (if there are any readers left to laugh at me). I'm totally okay with that. -____- Wuwuwu I'm so a sad case.

If you think that I will recommend you to this restaurant, the answer would be a big NO! :( Absolutely won't be going there for second time. Not even if someone treating me! NO! Google "Yaki-yaki" and you could find tonnes of negative comments on Yaki-yaki. Recommended or you to read on Yaki-yaki's pros and cons by Blogger Vkeong.

Taadaa~ Yaki-yaki aka Yucky-yucky.


Fresh oysters, smaller than those in Jogoya.


Sashimis that made you drool.


Shuen, the birthday boy of the night. Woot~ gathering cum birthday celebration!





The fantastic people who attended that night.



Fatherly-instinct perhaps? *Gasp*


We prepared cupcakes for Shuen, as birthday present from Wei-Hwa and me.



We took some pictures, after the not-so-satisfying dinner.


With my favorite boss cum friend, Jen Fon.


The look on his face: priceless! :)

Since I hated this place, the food, the service, the everything, I wouldn't let you know the address and contact number! Haha... *evil laugh*

Super backdated post

My gawd, the last time I ever written was almost 1 month ago! My blogging spirit slowly fading away, and there's nothing I could do about it. Lol~ My mind is totally blank as I face the keyboard. Sigh... I lost the passion to blog. Argh! Help! :( I wished I could be like Miu, where she blogs, shop and catch movies super regularly.

As I never leave a footprint here, for the month of August, I think it's time to do so... =___= Hmm, so many backdated post, so many photos, so many things happened these days, so little time to blog. Give me 48 hours a day and I wouldn't be satisfied.

Some photos during Dana's birthday celebration (which were few months ago) whoopee wtf:

In Midvalley's Yoyo Snacks for some coffee and toast.







That's my lower lips wtf.

Dana's XXth birthday celebration at one of the chinese restaurant in Cheras. Nah, not revealing the numbers! That's the cupcakes Wei Hwa and me prepared specially for Dana.

The double Ds: David and Dana.


In return, Dana presented me beautiful Calla Lily flowers! Pretty~


Thank you, Dana! :)

This "pin-hole" effect was created using a cardboard and a pin. Poke a small hole to the cardboard and aim the camera lense at the pin hole, until you see the image. Try this yourself!

Taadaa, well done Mei-Wah (*pats myself on my back*), you have written the FIRST post for August wtf -____- Sigh... I really really gotta get going and spend less time Facebooking, and more time for blogging. *crosses fingers*

You really want to know this... (Updates)

It's my birthday today 20 days ago!!! :)

(This was posted some time ago, yes, and I got updates *blink* which were doooowwwnnn below wtf)

Yes it's my birthday last Tuesday 20 days ago (7 July) and I were born on year 1984 *oops*, making me aged 25 years old this year. A quarter century old. Hooray I'm getting "wiser" (rolled eyes) -____-

Thanks to all of my sweetie, friends and colleagues who showered me with thoughtful birthday wishes, pressies and dinners. Only God knows how happy am I being in the circle of people whom I loved most.

There are few series of celebrations (yay...) and I never felt so blessed before! :)

1. Itallianes, The Garden

The first person whom I celebrated my birthday with, is no one but him, my one and only. We had few minor arguments about where to eat as he suggests lunch buffet at Sheraton (we had free coupons) but I can't eat much in buffet, hence, wasting free coupons. Dingdongdingdong we settled for The Garden instead and stroll around for interesting eatery.

And we found it - The Itallianes at 2nd Floor, The Gardens, Mid Valley City.


Our first time with their food and service. Verdict: THUMBS UP!


We were given free bread (free flow) and olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip in.


Olive oil mixed with herbs and balsamic vinegar makes the best combination.

Yes sweetie, I know you have been wondering high and low on what to get for my birthday present. Worry no more as you had given us the best present for birthday/anniversary/Agong's birthday/Independence Day/Hari Raya/Chinese New Year/wtf already, which is our very own nest!

He ordered Grape Shake, RM8.50, while I ordered Cranberry Juice RM10.50 (no photos).



Lasagna A La Ravina, RM32.90.
Layers of lasagna pasta, meat sauce and marinara with mozzarella cheese.


Smoked Salmon Pizza, RM27.90.
Smoked salmon slices, gorgonzola dill cream sauce, cream cheese and sliced onions.

Look at the HUGE portion! We packed the leftovers back home as we unable to finished 'em up. Not all were unfinished though. We finished up the Tiramisu as it was too heavenly! :)

Halfway through the lunch cum dinner, we spotted sunset! How romantic wtf if you don't at the ugly surroundings.

Tiramisu, RM16.90. Lady finger cookies dipped in liquer & espresso coffee with layers of creamy mascarpone icing and topped with dark chocolate powder. Well to my liking as it has the wonderful taste of rum and it's not too sweet.

We even take away... Krispy Kreme! Yay, Krispy Kreme has arrived in Malaysia and surprisingly, there's no hoo-haa on Krispy Kreme's doughnuts as what happened to J.Co previously. Remember the 30 minutes queue when J.Co hit Malaysia 2 years ago.

It was too sweet for my liking. I'm not a big fan of doughnut after all. Tried once and I'm done. :) Heard all about the negative nutrient value of doughnut and I wouldn't crave for them anymore thank you very much.

2. The Apartment, The Curve

My second birthday celebration was with my July babies, Connie (who were born on 14 July 1984) and Siew Yee (born on 15 July 1984). We chose to meet at The Curve for the abundance of food varieties and great enviroment. However, the main question of where to eat still lingered on our mind until we stopped at The Apartment.

My Passionfruit Coolers, RM10.50


Connie and Boon Keong... the couple who deserve my salute as they had been together for almost 8 years (perhaps)! The wedding bell is ringing! ;)


Don't need anymore introduction, right? -___-

The July babies: Connie, Siew Yee and me. (Gosh, my hair is hidious! I totally need a new hair style and some color. It's totally took away extra ages from me.)

Canwhore is a must wtf.


All lined up: Watermelon Juice (RM11.90), Raspberry Cooler (RM10.50), Passionfruit Cooler (RM10.50) and Orange Juice (RM11.90).


Okay Connie, you looked cute -___-


Tossed Prawn Pasta, RM29.90. Sauteed chili, garlic and white wine tossed with linguine and coriander.



Siew Yee's Baked Fish, RM23.90. Baked dory topped with cherry tomatoes with grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese with sauteed new potatoes.



Butterflied Lemon Chicken, RM25.90. Butterflied (minus the butterflies lol) lemon chicken breast marinated in lemon and yoghurt served with tabouleh (tak boleh wtf) and mint yoghurt.


Connie's Chicken and Mushroom Pasta, RM23.90. Spagetti with sauteed chicken and miushrooms with white wine garlic, chili, cherry tomatoes and rocket.


Boon Keong's Cod Fish and Aioli, RM48.90. Oven-baked fillet of cod with marinade of chili, oregano and coriander, served with dill mash, snow peas and aioli.

Our Verdict: The ambience was great, with nice IKEA-ed decoration, however the music was too loud, causing us to shout instead of talking to each other. The drinks was clearly overpriced and the taste were nothing more special than normal. The food were too salty (I'm the kind of person who can take salty food and yet I found it to be overly salty!).

3. Paddington House of Pancakes

For desserts! :) What's more fulfilling than desserts?

Coffee made with love.


Pancake nachos.


Mouth-watering dessert! *Slurp*

(Notice that my description are getting shorter and shorter. My eyes are getting droopier by seconds and I just wanna finish this up and go to sleep. Argh!)

Connie's happy.


Siew Yee's happy too.


Boon Keong's incredibly happy.

Showing off my leather 4 inches heels from Vincci+! My new found love and I heart them to pieces! :) And the best part is... it's 50% off! Haha, I love Mega Sales... *shinning eyes*

4. Office

I love my colleagues very much, and I meant it. Lol... Cause they are tonnes of fun and THEY ORGANIZED MINI BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR ME!!! *blush* Nothing over-the-top but it was a meaningful one as this is the first time that colleagues bought birthday cakes for me. Ah, touched.

(Pictures courtesy of Elsie)

My Hunny checking out the cake, making sure the cake is alright. Aww... so sweet of you, Hunny dear~

Additional candle added to the cake... -___-


According to Rose, age is nothing but digits and it shouldn't stop me from having fun!

A heartiest thank you from the bottom of my heart, to all my colleagues who have given me a mini birthday celebration in the office despite hectic and busy workload.

5. My Favorite Birthday Pressie

Anna Sui Hair Brush!!! My dream came true, thanks to Tammy! Muahhh love you gal! Although we known each other for a short while (thanks to All Malaysian Blogger Project, AMBP) but there are something in common between us that make us "clicked" in one way or another. We are more than blogger/online friends now, we are FRIENDS in life.

Thanks to Dana from The Petals Bar for the lovely bouquet. :) It lasted for a week and I got the hard time to throw it away. Sigh...


There's really nothing special about my birthday celebration, totally nothing to brag about, but what makes it special in my own way was the people whom I celebrated with. Love you all and thanks again for all the wishes via SMSes, calls and messages on my Facebook. Thanks for remembering. :)
