Calling for all devils.
This week Project Crossroad will showcase the devil side of things.
Are you scared? You better be, all the 666 – Devil character is about to unleash their horror.
May the devils be with you!
After disappearing two weeks in a row, the devil manage to bring Jimbo back to life.
I was in a dilemma. While the artwork is pretty and devilish, it lacked the local flavour.
I almost rejected it. And when I asked Jimbo, he replied “Got KL crow what!”.
To which I laughed. Haha.. true, some parts of KL are known for the swarm of crows that pooped on our cars.
So yes, please recognise and check out the KL crows.
Jae Sern manage to humour us with his devil character, Ali Setan.
Even his devil is as fashionable as him, sk8ter boi fashion lookbook, “peace” pendant, listening to iPod.
Evil at it’s best. But what tops that is the I ❤ KL t-shirt!
That is one killer shirt!
L B is back again, this time with a sexy devil.
Portray in a comic strip style, the character is seen holding a bunch of rambutan.
But seems it is no ordinary rambutan.
Now it got us all thinking, what are the devil holding.. if they are not rambutans?
Brian submitted his Sarong Party Sheep (SPS) devil.
Very evil, very horror. Looks like the westernised version of the Chinese guardian of the underworld – Ox Head and Horse Face, in this case a Sheep Face?
May manage to submit her sketch this time round.
One big cheer for trying out!
Her version of sexy devil in kebaya is definitely seductive and dangerous.
And her name is mizzy.
Jenhan also shared his attempt.
Sharing with us his doodle, and very local indeed.
He adds in his humorous devil selling VCD, DVD and even nasi lemak.
Yes, that is a lot of evil temptations there! Who can resist this devil la!
As for me, I finally bring my character “evirei” to life.
With a triple 6 birthmark on the forehead and her only playmate is her doll, she is born to rule the underworld.
Edited on 20 June 2006
I also love Takeru’s version of 666 Devil that incorporated local element to it. local feel.
It’s horn were our very own landmark KLCC tower and a Malaysia flag stuck on the floating cloud.
It’s so cute and I wish I could turn it in to a plush toy.
What is up next week?
Project theme: 2010 World Cup Mascot
Project description: Football season is here! We will create the next World Cup mascot, completely based on our imagination.
Anyone else interested to join, email your artwork to me by Monday.

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 9 April 2006. Well, as I mention in the previous post, we ended our Malacca tour early because we have something else to do. That’s right, we are back to have a farewell dinner with Evan. Yes, obviously the night didn’t end with us just going back, unpack and sleep. Hahaha…. Evan is going to work in the States for like… well supposedly one month.. but then… things might change. He might be there for a longer period. Maybe 3-4 months. Therefore, we decided to go to have a big feast at T.G.I.F. Yes, evan always like T.G.I.F’s. Who doesn’t. Thank God It’s Friday!
Everyone ordered their food. Well, for some reasons.. the ever punctual brian was late. Hahaha… Me, evan and gigi arrived and ordered our food. I still haven’t have enough seafood, so I order the Friday’s shrimp with the ultimate mudslide. Ah… yummy.. it tasted like chocolate milkshake but with kahlua and baileys in it with some chocolate chips. Super yummy *slurp*. Gigi obviously dives in to the bacon cheeseburger while evan indulge in to seafood platter *splash*. Brian and Jon decided to dine on something light. Hahaha.. they say they are still full from the trip. Hahaha… Jon just had soup while brian becomes a rabbit munching on his salad.
Burp… we then busy talking and laughing all the way.. telling evan the funny stuffs that happen during the malacca trip. Hahaha… we even showed him funny pictures (some weren’t post here for some reasons). Hahaha… come back soon lah EVAN! and let’s go T.G.I.F’s again! |
Bic Runga, mostly known for her song Sway which made it as one of the main soundtrack for the humorous American Pie movie.
Her songs were pacing on a slow side but her vocals sounds so mesmerizing and impressive.
Since I love Sway a lot, I decided to look up for Bic’s other songs and stumbled on this song – Ordinary Girl.
The simple yet on point lyrics of this song makes it easier for me to understand and singing along.
And surprisingly I like songs that simpler lyrics even more.
Perhaps one of the reason why I like the song was because I resonated with it.
Well, I am just an ordinary girl too despite how many hope that I was otherwise.
I suppose it is hard to convince or make them understand that I am just ordinary.
Trust me, I tried so hard to make myself stand out and make myself feel I am special and unique.
Unfortunately, trying to be extraordinary is harder than I thought.
I am just the ordinary, same old and boring me.
Movie Title: Daisy
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8/10)
Year: 2006
Daisy official site: http://www.daisy2006.com/ (Korea), http://www.daisy-movie.com/
Daisy… a beautiful flower. Beautiful enough to capture my attention towards the dark coloured poster that reads lines and lines of Korean word which I have no clue what it’s talking about. Somehow, the word “Daisy” and the word “from the director and producers of Infernal Affairs”, it quickly struck my attention. Korean actors and actress with Hong Kong directors. How can I miss that out. Besides, Infernal Affairs have been highly acclaimed. I think it was one of the best Hong Kong made movies.
I somehow doesn’t expect much from the movie. I’ve never heard of the movie until I saw the poster while waiting for my friends to come out of the cinema toilet. I never seen the trailer.. I didn’t hear anyone talk to me about it and it’s so difficult to find info’s on the internet (maybe I am not a good searcher).
To my surprise this movie takes in not only great cast.. but they also have great crews that makes this movie one of my Top 10 must watch movie of the year. Yes, Korean megastar Jeon Ji Hyun (previously acts in My Sassy Girl and Windstruck) and Jeong Woo Seong (acts in A Moment To Remember) is being selected to play the lead in this movie.
“Daisy” is the product of a collaboration of high-profile actors and production crews from Korea and Hong Kong: Andrew Lau, who directed “A Man Called Hero” and “Internal Affairs,while the script will be overseen by director Kwak Jae-yong, who directed “Windstruck”, the production crew of “Internal Affairs” the martial arts team of “Spiderman” and the simultaneous recording team of “Taegeugki”. Enough to blow you away?
The movie was being shot in Netherlands (ah.. so beautiful~) tells a sad love triangle story. Yes, Jeon Ji Hyun (Hye-young) is torn between two love of her life, one a professional killer played by Jeong Woo Seong (Park Yi) and the other, an Interpol played by Lee Sung Jae (Jeong Woo).
Hye-young is an artist who loves to paint. On one of her painting trips, she fell in to a river while crossing a bridge. Her clumsiness caught Park Yi’s attention and Park Yi soon fell in love with Hye-young when he first saw her. He was however very careful and only remains as a secret admirer as he believes Hye-young is too good for him. Knowing where he stand, he always watch Hye-young from far and sends her potted daisies everyday at 4.15 sharp.
Hye-young is very touched and she constantly wait around hoping to meet her secret admirer. One day, while painting, she stumbles in to Jeong Woo who is on a mission. He disguised himself by asking Hye-young to draw a portrait for him. Hye-young very soon mislead that he is the secret admirer when he brought along a pot of daisy.
Yeah, Jeong Woo is getting a free ride as Hye-young soon fall in love with him thinking he is the secret admirer. Park Yi on the other hand is very upset and furious over the matter, however he is dare not step up to show himself.
In a terrible gun fire incident when Jeong Woo’s cover was blown, Hye-young was shot and she lost her voice. The set of the movie soon switch to a cold and unhappy scenes. That is when Park Yi decides that he could no longer hide himself and he must show himself to support and encourage Hye-young. Hye-young on the other hand still doesn’t know Park Yi is the one she has been waiting for all these while.
Jeong Woo on the other hand was sent back to Korea as his identity in Netherlands was blown. Upon returning, he went to find Hye-young only to tell her, he was not what she always thought he is. He is not her secret admirer. In one killing mission, Park Yi is ordered to kill Jeong Woo. While he is reluctant, the agency took over and killed Jeong Woo.
Upon Jeong Woo’s death, Hye-young was slowly moved and fell in love with Park Yi. I guess happy moments didn’t really last long as soon Hye-young founds traces and evidence that proves that Park Yi killed Jeong Woo. Park Yi had no choice but to faint Hye-young out while he went out to carryon another mission. Upon her waking up, she soon finds out the biggest secret in her life.
It was a really romantic movie set in such a beautiful city. Every scene in the movie is so beautifully shot. Trust me, when you are watching the movie, you could just randomly screenshot any scene out and it still looks perfectly nice.
The beautiful scenery totally blown me away. To top the notch, the classical music was superb. It make me didn’t want to leave the cinema. True to the core, many people would have given this movie a bad review despite many of them was hoping and carrying the thought of this movie is a thriller. Yes, I almost think so too looking at the black colour version of the poster.
If you love paintings (Monet’s especially), classical music, beautiful sceneries and well felt like watching something romantic. Yes… it’s a must go and see thing. I was hoping to catch them on the DVD’s as I believe there were more things to the movie. Perhaps a duo ending. I am not sure… I am just hoping there were more things to see as it totally swept me of my feet.

Like I say in my previous post… too many pictures were being taken in the Coconut House. No one believed me when I say a lot…. well… at least enough for me to make this post to salute my fellow v.v.i.p’s. Yes… hahaha… people whom I constantly hang out with and well… I assume people who visit this blog is familiar enough with their faces. And if you are in Mission Impossible, I guess you have enough photo’s to duplicate and make a mask out of them. Yes, I hereby introduce you to my fellow v.v.i.p’s. Brian Wong, a talented designer who is humble. Cheeky and have great sense of humour. Yeah, he is my uni-mate well… which means if I were to use my fingers to count, I would have known him for like 8 years now. Yes, he believes in “live life as if it’s a miracle”. So yes, everything is a miracle to him
Gigi Fong, hahahaa.. I dun think I need to introduce much about her as I guess most people would have known she is my best buddy. Hehehe… she can be as cute as she wants to be.. but when she is angry.. ahhaha… FIRE ALERT people… “run for your life”. Well… she was my ex-colleague. Ah.. yes… my very first company. Hehe…. which is so ironic. I never really liked her in the first place. But well… life turns out otherwise now. Hehe…
Jon Wee… ah…. he is one of my uni-mates as well. Hehe…. although we’ve known each other for 8 years, well.. in the first 2 years in uni.. we weren’t exectly close. Yeah, he normally mix with his malacca friends. He is as every funny person. Even little little things he says can make people laugh. Well.. however he is like Dory (a character in Fingding Nemo). He is a very forgetful person and well.. yes.. if you date him, please give him uncountable “gentle reminders”.
Well… and lastly and surely.. me, myself and I. Who else but the cheeky me. Who believes in destiny but forsee possibilities. Hehehe… totally in love with self-love and is overly-obsessed with andy lau. I am different which makes me weird. I am not pretty which makes me cute. I am talkative which makes me a crapper. I am cheeky which makes me naughty. I am not sensible which makes me not reasonable.
Don’t even try to get there. Yeap.. dun bother to ask me what catergory do you fall under. Don’t ask me why your pictures weren’t here. Don’t ask me if you are one of the v.v.i.p’s or the B.O.D’s or whatever not. It’s a though questions and well… things change so often. Who knows… velverse might not even exsist tomorrow. |

We slept late last night although we initially arrived at the hotel room around 12-ish. Yes, everyone queue up and wait for their turns to bath. Hahaha…. while some busy make coffee, eating some freshly baked pineapple tarts that we bought while walking through Jonker Street while waiting for our food to digest. Well… with all the hoo-hah and what not… we all actually doze to sleep at 2 – 3am. Obviously I was a dead person by then when no sound or voice could practically wake me up. Yes, nothing.. except for my alarm clock to wake up the next morning. We woke up early to have breakfast complimentary of the hotel. Yeay… see Brian and Gigi’s morning look! The breakfast wasn’t really great. Maybe it’s the not enough of sleep… but hey… malacca… place with nice food and culture… who needs hotel breakie! We anyhow went down grab something to eat and some coffee and juices. Despite the not-so-okay breakie, the place for us to have our breakie is simply superb. It’s in this garden with a human-made waterfall and lots of chinese feel statues. Which I totally love. I find the environment very cool… and if someday I could afford a big house.. I would surely want a garden like this where I can have my breakfast there…. put a morning bed and roll around~ Ah… that is life~
Food need time to digest.. yes correcto! So we went walking around. Yes, first time I walk around Malacca streets in the morning. There were loads of people selling antique stuffs. Yeah loads of it, from super old magazines, bottles, bowls to old vinyl records. We then walk past the oldest temple in the country, the Cheng Hoon Teng temple. Yes, it it believed to be the oldest temple in Malaysia. Built with no nails at all. Not even a single one. However, this temple has been refurbished few years back due to some parts of the temple is falling apart. However, they still try their very best to restore most of the buildings. Ah… the temple in the morning… it’s simply so quiet and peaceful. Normally this temple is very crowded as it is one of the famous tourist spot as well. Something not to be missed when visiting Malacca. The temple I love to go each time I am in Malacca.
We continue walking from the temple and we came across some cute shops… which weren’t open yet. I wonder what they sell… but well… it doesn’t matter as all we ever do is just walk around and snap pictures here and there. Jon snapped some pictures of me and gigi at the yellow and white stripes background. According to him, it will make us look “thinner”. Yes… I get the hint. Do you? Hahaha.. there is even this tattoo shop with funky drawings on the wall. On the wall, there is 2 doors. One on the right has this “peace fool” image while on the left, it has this tolet door written “Give piss a chance” with the word “Bush”written to the board on the door.
It’s time again to eat. Oooo yeah.. the time has just clocked 10-ish. We all have to continue to eat as Jon dared us that he would bring us to 10 places in Malacca to eat.. but we couldn’t finish. Well… until now, we only eaten our fourth dish. Which is the famous malacca chicken rice ball. This shop is surely some famous shop. On normal days, they have loads of people queing up and it’s seriously hard to get tables around here. By the way, there is not much chance for you to sit down, chit chat and take your own sweet time. There are loads of people waiting right next to you here and there.. as if rushing you to eat faster. But it’s really worth it. The chili sauce… ah…. I WANT MORE~
Wooo… it’s time to walk around to digest food. Yes, everyone looks tired and restless… yes a result of a food trip. You dun get tired from excessive walking and running around but just eating. Everyone decided to walk around to digest a little. And how could we not walk around the famous Stadhuys and the A’Farmosa. Brian is having a hard time climbing up and down the stairs… yeah… due to body aching from paintball activity the day before. Jon is too tired as he slept quite late. Hahaha.. his old friend in Malacca decided to look for him and he oni reach the hotel around 4-ish which means he have too little sleep.
After a long walk… we decided to stop by a stall. Don’t as me where’s it located. I have no idea. Yes, I am lost! Hahahah… okay.. we went to this small stall and decided to cool down after walking in the hot sun. We ordered the famous cendol! Wooo hooo yummy~ It seems like ayam pong teh is also a famous food by the baba nyonya society. So we decided to give it a go. Yes, this place might not sell the best ayam pong teh, but we just wanna try something special. Haha… it does taste rather different. A very strong garlic and onion taste in the thick and rich sauce.
On our way back to the hotel, we manage to stop by a famous designer shop. The Orang Utan Shop. Hehehe… a shop open by local designer, Charles Cham. Hehe… over at this stall, there were many t-shirts and art being sold. Shirts that potrays much about our country. There were even tons of arts for sale. Which looks brilliant. Gigi manage to buy some cute tee’s. While I was just looking around. Yes.. arts… malacca… they just gel in so well. Can I stay there like forever?
We were tired! very tired from walking around and eating. No… I should rephrase… tired from walking around carrying a tummy that grew bigger each time we make a pit stop. We then decided to go back to our hotel and pack our stuffs as the check out time is near. Before we went up and pack our bags, we quickly snap pictures here and there again!
Right after snapping some cool pics around the hotel, we then quickly went up and pack our stuffs. Being real posers, we even decided to jump around and snap some pics before we leave the hotel room. Hehehe… yes that’s right! Pictures.. pictures and more pictures.
We then throw our stuffs in the car and continue to walk to a few galleries. Woo… art galleries is just around. Every corner you turn to… you can never miss those art stuffs. And Malacca is really a place you should go if you want to see loads of art. I can simply call Malacca as Malaysia’s Paris… as you can seriously see loads of art and cultural stuff. The antiques were simply amazing as well. If only I have my camera with me… I could snap like millions of pictures After the walk… we decided to hop in to this cafe called the Coconut House. Unbelieveable, the shop was established since 1985. And has been constantly there. Looking at the floor tiles makes thing just so believeable. The shop got it’s name due to this particular coconut tree growing in the middle of the shop. Well.. at the first glace of the poster they did… I tot I saw Eason Chan… but well… it wasn’t. The ambient of the shop was very simple. They have simple setting. The tables were quite old looking but it still manage to blend in well with the shop.
On top of it, they have racks of old records. But they somehow did add a modern touch to the shop. They actually had an iMac at their counter. To play some songs and all. I guess this is the place we sat down the longest. Yeah…. we seriously took loads of photos (you can see the extra’s in the next post). We manage to take some panoramic pictures which was fun. Everyone move around here and there to get to be repeated in the pictures as many times as possible. We each ordered the famous coconut drink (according to Jon). It was okay… except it brings quite a strong milk taste. Yes…. M.I.L.K! Ermmm something that really wasn’t my cup of tea.
After a long rest at the Coconut House (a very very long rest) we all decided to go to Jalan Kaki Lima and eat Taiwan Mee. Which actually shocked me when Jon suggested. We go all the way to malacca to eat TAIWAN MEE? Haha… well according to Jon, the owner’s wife is a taiwanese and well the signage does write “Taiwan Mee” Hahaha… it is famous for it’s deep fried pork rib noodles and their beef noodles. I totally love the deep fried pork ribs. But the noodles… okay… I have this weird feeling when I eat noodles that is not black. I mean… I dunno… it gives me this weird feeling each time I eat noodles like this. It’s not really soupy and it’s not really dry…. it’s not black. I dunno… everyone enjoy the noodles. And well.. it’s not that it’s not nice… just… I wasn’t used to eating noodles that…. We would have continued but everyone is too tired and some were super full! So… we decided to leave the remaining 2 behind and head back to KL as we have another outing to go. We then head back to KL. We went back and celebrated Evan’s farewell as he will be leaving us to go US for a few months (more details in next posts to come). Yeah… his office sent him over there! How nice! I ALSO WANT!!! Malacca….. oh malacca…. I will be back soon! To visit the eat more stuffs. Yeah according to Jon, there are loads more stuff that we hasn’t try! Yes! Yes…in less than 24 hours and we ate 8 of somewhat Jon’s best recommendations. Bravo!! |
. It’s okay! I’ve still got my camera phone.
However the more I drink.. the taste seems to be lesser and lesser and eventually I find it very refreshing and nice. How ironic!
ermm… looks like noodles. Haha~
Movie Title: Over the Hedge
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8/10)
Year: 2006
Over the Hedge official site: http://www.overthehedgemovie.com/
Okay… yet another 3D animation movie featuring cute and cuddly animals. Yes.. the trend is on, SO BRING IT UP babe~ Everyone just love cute and cuddly stuffs. Well… can’t deny, first impressions does matter and well.. that is why I never mind being labelled as a cutie… hahaha.. just that I am not. Okay…
Let’s get things started, this animation is based on a comic strip by Michael Fry and T. Lewis. I was actually thrilled and has been waiting for this movie to come along as I have watch some rather not that interesting 3D recently. Yes.. about animals and so on…. which makes me put much more anticipation and expectations to this one. I am glad to say, my expectation is simply met and well… I wasn’t disappointed with it both script wise and animation wise. Even the storyline is simply more funny and exciting that what I expect it to be.
It’s basically a simple story… RJ (Bruce Willis) is a racoon who is in great trouble when he is caught by Vincent (Nick Nolte) the bear for stealing his food supply… bad things happen when the food supply accidently fall of the hill and got ran over by a big truck… No doubt, RJ will be killed… ripped to pieces if he failed to restock Vincent’s food before the full moon, which is practically in a weeks time.
RJ is set to find and replace the food stock when he accidently found this new suburban area. Yes… a place just nice for him to restock everything he took from the bear. RJ then finds a family of animals lead by Verne (Garry Shandling) the turtle. They weren’t aware that half the forest has been taken down and had been replaced with this new suburban area. RJ then takes this opportunity to used them to find food that he needs. The family was so naïve to believe RJ is actually helping them gather food to fill up their log before the next winter comes.
RJ then teaches them about the people and the food they have. Verne wasn’t really thrilled as he somehow felt the world over the hedge wasn’t meant to be intruded by them. The rest of the family was so blown away with the fact that they can gather food to fill up the logs in just weeks while in previous times, they need months.
In the movie it was so cool, how the animals learn to use the new technologies like cable TV, Sony PSP, digital cameras and stuff. Ah… things went wrong when the humans alerted the exterminator as they find the animals rather disturbing. Verne decides to return everything to the humans hoping that everything will return to it’s past. Yeap, things went wrong from there onwards and the food they gathered is all gone. And it’s just a day away before RJ is being eaten by the bear.
RJ then have a plan to take everything back when he overhead the humans saying they will have a great big party. This time along Verne supports the idea as he felt guilty that he lost the foods. Everything goes on fine and their plan was a perfect happening until RJ saw a can of Spuddies and refuse to leave without it. Yes, the ugly truth soon spills out and RJ manage to run away with the food while the rest of the poor family got caught.
It was really an enjoyable movie with great moral vales being nicely placed beneath the surface. The messages about equal treatment, honesty, trust, and friendship are present without being heavy handed. The information about America’s consumer driven economy(particularly in the food industry) is relevant, refreshing, and intelligent. The best part of the message it sends about humans encroaching on animal habitats and how it affects the balance of nature.
Well… the voice was simply superb unlike Madagascar where they over-used Ben Stiller’s voice. Over here… everyone have quite a bit of time to show out their talents. Besides Bruce Willis and Gary Shandling, Steve Carrell also stands out as the absolutely insane Hammy the squirrel. William Shatner as Ozzie the possum. Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara as parents of hedgehogs, Wanda Sykes as a skunk, Thomas Hayden Church as an exterminator. Even Avril Lavigne is making an attempt to do voice acting taking up the role as Shatner’s daughter Heather.
It’s just so cool. Brilliant animation, lovable characters and simple yet clever plot. What more can I ask for. Now I felt like a 5 year old kids who wants to watch it all over again. And for those who plan to refuse me, I will roll on the floor and cry!

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 08 April 2006. Yahoo… the first food trip and road trip with the gang. Ah… it’s been a while. As a matter of fact… it’s been a very long while. I just love the fact of going out in a group, enjoying and happily eating without worries. Yes… food… just what I need to cheer me up. It’s been a long talk and discussion before this trip actually works. Yeah, everyone is so busy that it has got postponed so many times. Yes, so many times that I lost track. I just know it was supposed to happen right after new year but guess what, we are 2 months backdated. We started our trip quite late that day. Yeah, Brian went to play paintball with his colleagues (some company outing) and we all waited for him. Jon (our honourable walking food guide) went to malacca earlier to visit his auntie so yeah he met us up there. We depart from KL around 4-ish and reached malacca at around 5-ish. Woohoo.. the moment we landed, I can feel the intense excitement. Yeah… I never knew why, I just love malacca so much that it never get me bored going there from time to time. The food, the people, the culture and the arts… just amazing. We walked at Jonker Street for a while before meeting up with Jon right in front of Geographer (the cafe where Sammi and Richie is at in the movie call Mo Mo Tea). Jon then took us to check into our hotel. Ah… luxurious hotel, located just a street behind Jonker Street. How convenient! (Pictures of the hotel to be included in the next post) Our food trip soon started right after we smack our bags in to the hotel. We then headed to the Portugese Settlement to have our dinner. Yes, seafood…. ah… I love it We had like a big curry fish, otak-otak,baked black pepper crabs, fried sotong, kangkung belacan, mee mamak and half a dozen clams. Wooo….. I still felt like rubbing my tummies while writing this now. We then quickly head to some hawker stall at Jalan Bunga Raya to eat the famous Fried Oyster With Eggs as time is seriously running out. By the time we left the Portugese Settlement, it was almost 9.30pm.. and well, stalls in malacca sorta close early. Fooooih… the fried oyster is simply superb. Even gigi who normally dun take a bite ate quite a bit of it. Yeah… it’s best combined with the dessert as the fried oyster can be a little on the spicy side and oily too. Two thumbs up! Hahaha… back to back.. non-stop we jump up to the car and drive straight to Jalan Ong Kim Wee to eat satay celup! Can you believe it, the guys has already stop touching the food saying they were too full already. Sigh…. look down on them except for Brian. Hahahhaa.. well done Brian! We then suppose to go somewhere else to ta pau “yau char kwai” but got lost and seperated from Jon’s friends. So we decided to just head back to the hotel and call it a day. Well… to most people the night stops just there… but well, obviously there is still some inside dramas and fights and chasing here and there. Which well, I guess it takes me years to finish writing this post if I were to put it in details. *No, don’t even think of asking me to write it.* Looking at the title, you should know it’s a food trip! So we talk all about the food and the nice place! |
Continue the good job of exploring and eating good food. Well, we din eat that much of a satay celup but well at least we tried! But seriously, this satay celup wasn’t as good as the previous one I ate. Hemmm.. wonder why.
