Backdated post. Actual event took place on 11 April 2006. A night after work where we decided to head to The Curve to have dinner. It’s been a long while and a long plan… I guess for those who have been following I have mentioned we wanted to have dinner and followed by having english tea for a long time. And yes… 11 April 2006 is the mark of the memorable day.. where we successfully manage to have dinner AND have tea after dinner. Hahaha… me and gigi arrived only to find out that brian was in the car talking on the phone.. just 2 parking lot away. Busy talking and talking on the phone.. he left us waiting and walking around. Obviously he has to be punished and thus he was forced to choose a place for us to dine in. Haha… he quickly pointed to ah Tuan ee’s Place. A Nonya restaurant which serves tasty nonya food. I came here once during my ex-company New Year Dinner. I quite like the surrounding as it is not really noisy and it looks clean. Best of all the warm and welcoming wall colours and the antique wooden decos they have inside. We then each order something to share out. Brian ordered the green curry chicken. They say it tasted a little bit weird. I think it tasted alright except the fact that the ginger smell over powers everything. Well… it does taste very much different from the mamak or chinese style of cooking green curry chicken. Gigi ordered the stir fried long beans with sambal belacan. Which in my opinion taste the best of all the dishes we ordered. I ordered the Chai Po egg. It tasted like normal Chai Po egg… except the fact that they put too much pepper in it. But I must really credit on them putting a dash of sesame oil to bring out the aroma. Ah….. lovely ah Tuan ee’s Place address: Tel: 03-7710 0603). |
. We then head down to Winter Warmer’s for a cup of tea but well… since L B ask me to slow it down on the food… I will post it maybe tomorrow~ 😉
Movie Title: The Omen
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/10)
Year: 2006
The Omen official site: http://www.heedtheomen.com/
The prophecy is clear. The signs are unmistakable. On the 6th day of the 6th month in the year 2006 his day will come.
From the eternal sea he rises. Creating armies on either shore. Turning man against his brother. Until man exist no more.
These are some of the con-lines I saw that got me attracted. With it’s major publicity that hit the date. Yes, it’s premier was on 06.06.2006. Ah.. what a nice day. I guess good promotion is good enough to make this movie a big hit. But I guess everything else just stops there.
It was a big hoo-hah thing. Everyone is talking about the day. Triple six. The remake of the movie. Ah… perfecto hit. But sadly… I left the cinema felt being ripped off and worst of all.. conned (read: it was BAD and spoiler alert)
To begin with… I would clearly say the review made was solely based on this particular movie as I have never seen the 1976 version. Well.. yes, this is the first time I was noted and have any clue what the “Beast” is all about.
The movie starts of with a terrifying opening…. showing how the Vatican is discussing about the signs of how the world is going to an end. Yes, a serious discussion about the Book of Revelation which reveals patterns that leads to a terrifying and ugly truth. The signs were significant and they even brought in examples like the World Trade center terrorist attacks, the recent tsunami’s and some other global events.
It is believe that the arrival of the Anti-Christ is soon to arrive where he/she will be marked with a numerical 666 (which is being called the Beast). It is believe this Anti-Christ will receive it’s powers to rule the entire world directly from the Satan.
The movie then zooms closer to a family. Robert Thorn (Liev Schreiber) is a senior American Diplomat. His wife, Kathryn (Julia Stiles) have difficulties in delivery and Robert was told that his wife have a miscarriage. He was also told that his wife suffered some scars in the womb which leads to her not being able to have children anymore. His concern soon turns to Kathryn as the baby is everything to her.
He was very soon conned by the hospital priest, Father Spiletto to take this other child born that night, whose mother died in childbirth. Due to his love for her wife, Robert agreed to it and raised the child as it’s own, without Kathryn knowing anything about it.
The child, Damien was soon being raised as Robert’s own flesh and blood. Everything turned out just fine as Robert’s career is blooming as well. He soon was promoted to become the United States ambassador in England when the previous ambassador dies tragically.
Just as everything seems perfectly fine, weird events start taking place. Yes, and all weird events that happen all take place around Damien (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick). Her nanny firstly hang herself right in front of Damien during his birthday party.
Right after that incident, a strange and weird priest come looking for Robert warning Robert to kill his own son. Telling Robert that his son was a devil and will kill him. Even more surprising, it seems Damien’s actual mother is actually a wolf.
Matters turn worst as Damien acted weirdly during a drive to the church. His trip to the zoo worsen matters as it create a big havoc. Kathryn was slowly going nuts and she started to suspect that Damien is not her own child. She has this weird dreams every now and that which somehow manage to make me jump up a little.
She soon turned to a psychologist to get help. His husband was also asked to attend a few sessions to help understand more about what is bothering Kathryn. A scene which I hate to say is not professional at all as it is so obvious I could see some microphones hanging here and there.
On top of that, the new nanny, Mrs. Baylock (Mia Farrow) is rather scary. She came in to the position to protect Damien as he is believed to be the long-waited Anti-Christ.
Worst part of all, is the disturbing blurred photographs by a photographer. Yes, it’s some Final Destination 3 thingy… where they see visions of how the people died.
Everything was made clear when what Father Brennan told him is one by one becoming true. Kathryn is actually pregnant but everyone is planning to kill her baby as they worry it might change their plans. They will then kill Robert in order to make the prophecies come true. Father Brennan then died tragically and in a ugly way.
Robert and the photographer then heads off to check out the truth. Which then reveals a lot of disturbing truth. Yes, Robert’s actual baby actually wasn’t miscarriage. Instead the baby was being killed in order to successfully make Robert take Damien as his own child.
I was totally disappointed with the movie as it seems to be a rush job and lots of the continuity of the movie is bad. The microphones were seen every now and there scenes. Even worst, there we hand prints on the car during snow times which makes people know how many times the scene was being retake.
The actors were seriously not up to the standards. Robert was too stiff and boring. Kathryn is too young and I think she could not live up to the character.
I didn’t really know what this movie is talking about as I seriously have loads of questions that I could not figure out.
1. How come the hospital priest want to con Robert in to taking the children? He is part of the 666 member?
2. Since Damien is related to the wolf family, how come dogs are their guardian angels? And I tot dogs are men best friend?
3. How come everything only happen when he is 5 years old? Not earlier not later?
4. How come he is the only one who is being chosen?
5. Why does the nanny have to die?
6. Why does Father Brennan have to die?
7. Why when Robert is about to kill Damien, why none of the Vatican’s help out?
Ah… I am very disturbed. Sigh…. it’s bad.. it’s bad… it’s bad! I wish they just didn’t promote it this big! It gives me so much disappointment.

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.

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~
