Backdated post. Actual event took place on 7 July 2006. It’s one of those after movie mamak again. This time around, we just finished the ever popular teenage idol, Lindsay Lohan’s movie. Yes the night leaves a very funny moment to me. Yes, it’s the night Brian hold Gigi’s hand and walk up to me when I was busy watching the big screen outside the cinema. And he goes like “Ah man……. I…. “ when I just look at them while Gigi is laughing non-stop. Then I go like “Say it. Say it.” Then he goes like “Ah man…. I..” Then I was like “Say it.. say it.” Yes, Gigi is still laughing. The same lines repeated a few times when Brian just show me his hand holding gigi’s. Haha.. then I told him, “Believe what you hear, not what you see.” Gigi laugh even louder. Brian was like “Oooooh… want like this meh? See already also dun believe.” Then I just repeat my line. “Say it!! Say it!!” and he goes like “Ah Man, me and gigi paktor dy.” I guess he must take deep breaths! Then I was busy walking in towards the cinema and said, “Now that’s more like it!” Hehe… I’m so happy for them especially my best buddy now have a boyfriend. Muahahaa… but then wait, does that mean more pinching session? *falls and faint* Yes yes, it’s a lucky day with the lucky couple. Everyone else was busy wondering when they started. Some was shocked. Haha.. as for me… I always remain cool… coz I have sixth sense! I sense it coming! *evil grin* Woohooo…. love is in the air~~~ |

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 1 July 2006. Ah… finally, after a long time… I finally set foot at Breakers. Hehe… last time, brian used to say I am like promoting for Breakers since I took lots of pictures there. Ermm almost a weekly thing. This time around, we all went with Gigi’s colleagues. It was sorta fun. I was dared to max out Alan’s phone memory card by snapping pictures. Well, without a doubt… I surely can do it 🙂 I’m known to my friends for snapping the most pictures. So hahaha… that’s an easy one! It was the night where Germany is playing against Argentina. I remember everyone wasn’t that much concentrating on the pool table. Every chance they could, they would lift their head and look at the TV. Brian was supporting Argentina. And me… because of Ballack!!! I go Germany all the way! Muahaha… *evil grin* We then went to the mamak nearby.. sat down, took more pictures, eat and chit chatted until around 4am. I must say, I saw lots of sad Argentina’s supporters face and lots of happy Germany fans. Talk about that… obviously the pictures above… is only half of the pictures that maxed out Alan’s memory card. But lots of it was dark and pixeled. I actually never know why.. coz on the Nokia screen it looks bright and all.. but when download out.. it is dark.*sigh* Breakers Pub & Café Telephone: +60 3 6203 3353 |
Ballack didn’t disappoint me. We then decided to leave when it was the penalty shot. So we just stop at the front door and look at the projector screen! I was jumping happily and hitting Brian’s arm! I can’t help it. I am overwhelmed and happy and excited all together.
You bet, I am still wondering how they could just do amazing things like turn newspaper to money. Make stuffs disappear and appear in others pocket. I was always amazed.. until my mum spoils it for me. My mum will always tell me, if they can change newspaper to money that easily, they won’t have to perform and earn money. Which is true and make sense. But well, one just can’t help but to wonder! So this week, it’s all about the magic, the little white rabbit, the doves, the sexy assistant and obviously the magician. LB return from his long long trip and has manage to throw his brand new iPod nano away for 5 minutes and drew this. The White Rabbit is all set to rule the magic land. Woo… looking at the sexy almost naked assistant. Er… eh LB, can take away the hands ar? *opss I did it again~~~*
Okay, even Brian make it to the podium finish by submitting his magic-sheep. Well, looks more like a wizard than magician.. I would say it does look magical, hypnotizing and colourful. Makes me wanna go get a big lollipop and just slurp it all the way. Very different approach, really very colourful. Haha.. first time ever I see the sheep with colourful eyes. Like the gameboy says “Level Up”
My version of magician is rather cute one with the beanie’s bottom. Hehe.. I always love this beanies thing. Yeah… mine was with 2 cute little rabbit hiding in the hat. Ermmm.. nope, no sexy assistant as I am never good at drawing curvy body. So in the meantime, you all can just drool at LB’s drawing.
What is up next week? Project description: Ah… pretty much self-explain theme. Erm, in case one wonder, they can always check the deck of playing cards, or even watch Batman. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join. Be it good or bad… it’s just something we do for fun! Generate some cool ideas and well.. surely fill up some of our boring times 😀

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 26 June 2006. Yet another company lunch. So much fun, so much food… *burp*. Haha, it is Zul’s birthday. So yes, we jump right downstairs and had lunch. This time around, we decided to go another place at the hotel. We dine at Still Waters. Still Waters provides a contemporary dining experience with strong Japanese presence known as ‘Sosaku’ cuisine, which means creative cooking. Yup there is a lot of fusion thing going on around this place. The exotic Japanese cuisine is fused with European and Asian flavours. I like the surrounding with lots of japanese sake bottle. The calligraphy on the bottle looks beautiful and colourful. The ambience is so beautiful with ropes and lighting. Looks so nice. Too bad Adrian have to meet a client and can’t make it to join us. Prem ordered the Grilled Lamb. It looks good with this fusion taste to it. It has got this japanese sauce with the western feel. Loh ordered the Chicken Terriyaki which have a very good presentation. I didn’t try what he had as my food arrived and.. yeay.. so many things to eat, don’t know where to start first. Mine, azli and zul’s was the set lunch. Woo… What can I say.. it’s really filling. Yummie.. waiting to celebrate the next person in the office’s birthday. Still Waters at Hotel Maya email: info@hotelmaya.com.my |

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 19 June 2006. Haha.. the day after I return from my Cameron trip, my office decided to go have lunch buffet at Hotel Maya. Yeah, that’s the closest place ever to my office. Some may ask what’s the occassion. It’s actually a welcome lunch for Zul. Yeah, he is the new designer. Yes, another addition to the Flare family member. Which still make me the only girl in the office. Well, supposedly Zul has join us for like a month or so… maybe two. Yeah, so it is sorta like a delayed lunch thing. Hehe.. well which is also an excuse for us to try out their new theme. This time around it’s the Chinese like theme. Most of the stuff were cook in chinese style. We’ve got shark’s fin soup, kam heong prawns, stir fry vege with mushrooms, mussels, stir fry beef and loads more. Prem was complaining why the sashimi’s were still there since they change the theme. But well, I guess it’s always been there. No matter how the theme changes.. they surely have it there, but unlike previous round, they didn’t have fresh oyster this time, instead… it’s been replaced with some kinda “la la”. Well… what can I say, “welcome to the family” (yeay.. another guy for me to bully) *evil grin* Maya Brasserie at Hotel Maya email: info@hotelmaya.com.my |
Movie Title: Miami Vice
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (6/10)
Year: 2006
Miami Vice official site: http://www.miamivice.com/
The 80’s baby would know this movie by heart or just by listening to it. Yes, bringing the famous TV series in to the big screen. It’s really a daring and brave move since it was a big hit back then. Which makes me wonder when they are bringing Airwolf, The A Team, McGyver or Knight Rider to the big screen anytime soon.
I hesitated a long time, to go or not to go. To see or not to see… since Colin Farrell disappoint me like no other actor does in a million years over and over and over again. Seriously, it all started with S.W.A.T, which I think was a sloppy, boring, uninteresting, no peak movie (can you imagine I went with a group of 4, the other 3 were sleeping, I was about to fall asleep and kept looking at the watch wondering when it would end).
I promise myself to never see another Colin Farrell movie but Alexander was too great to resist! I can’t help it when Angelina Jolie and Anthony Hopkins is in it. I tot like… okay… I see a dim light at the end of the tunnel, which actually turns out to be a false hope!
Yes, I swear to god.. I will not see another Colin Farrell movie ever ever. Which explains why I give “The New World” a pass. But then, I have sinned! I watch another Colin Farrell movie! Sigh… who could resist Jamie Foxx and better still Gong Li. I mean it’s GONG LI!!!!! My goddess! And if it wasn’t for her… Miami Vice is yet another passer by.
What can I say when they are beautiful cars, nice watches, nice sunglasses plus my goddess in it. What I can say, minus all that off, it’s yet another forgettable movie. Which means it’s bad… no no.. not bad… to me that’s very bad! A famous big hit TV series now turns forgettable?
Okay, I am not sure if the movie was censored or what, but this is the first movie I saw without an opening credit. It jumps straight to the movie where you see Detective James ‘Sonny’ Crockett (Colin Farrell) and Detective Ricardo ‘Rico’ Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) was in a club on some operation when suddenly Sonny got a call from an undercover that is handling other cases. His cover was exposed and his team members were brutally killed. Which makes me wonder why that undercover didn’t call his boss but instead he called Sonny and Rico.
Blah blah blah… drama here and there and then Sonny and Rico was then pulled in to the scene doing the undercover thing since their department is the only department out of the case scenario thing. Yes, now from a normal detective, they are going to find was to fit themselves in to the drug trafficking industry.
Their main target, Arcángel de Jesús Montoya (Luis Tosar), is the mastermind behind everything. But before they could get close to him, they would have to convince José Yero (John Ortiz) that they are worthy. While in the process of getting close, Sonny hooked up with Montoya’s business partner/woman, Isabelle (Gong Li). Which apparently means bad news.
Although this movie was directed by the same person who directed Collateral, this one is far from it. It’s more of the S.W.A.T director. It’s one long boring movie. I am serious, I kept flipping my handphone wondering what time it was. Is it ending soon? Is anyone dying anytime soon? Is the credits going to come rolling any minute soon?
Besides the gun fight scenes that is quite realistic, which is where they add in shaky approach and the gun wounds, it was plain boring.. talk talk talk.. yak yak yak… which half the time I wonder what they are talking about and why do they need to talk that much.
The partnership between Farrell and Foxx was not intense enough. They just seems to have no chemistry. It’s so fake. It sounds fake, it looks fake especially when there is a scene Rico talking to his boss about him trusting Sonny. “I trust him, without a doubt”. To me it sounds like just reading the script. Not to even mention the ending is like no ending when they just bring you go round the bush and end up at the starting point with no closure or anything. Which in my opinion leaves a big room for second episode.
The best part, detectives in Miami seems to earn a fat and juicy income, allowing them to drive Ferrari, have designer watches, super cool sunglasses and all. Don’t the ICAC ever investigate them? I wish I was a detective man! I seriously wish!

Backdated post. Actual event took place on 18 June 2006. Woohoo… the tour finale. We’ve come to the end of the Cameron Highlands trip where we all decided to go to the BOH Tea Centre at Sungei Palas. According to many, it’s a must go place. Yes, it was newly refurbished and it looks great now! We were half way going to Sungei Palas following the narrow and winding road. When suddenly Gigi say she wants to stop over and take picture. Yeah, according to her, that’s a special spot where she took her previous Cameron Highlands picture. So she wanted a picture at the same spot this time. Obviously taking picture is not a problem, since everyone is ever willing to do so! But trust me… going through thick bushes, the tall grass and insects here and there… it’s sorta scary. I dunno.. for me, it have this after visit feel. Like the insects are still crawling on your skin even after like 2 hours.
The moment we reached, Jon parked his car and we have to actually walk up to the tea centre. Not a lot of walking. Just a tiny hill. Angeline and Brian dared each other to run up. So yeah, this miss out some photo sessions while me, gigi and jon slowly walk around enjoying the scene and snapping pictures. That instant I set foot on the top.. it felts just so great and different from the last time I came.. which practically is 5 years ago.. erm.. maybe 6 years.
We ordered lots of stuff to share around. Tea and coffee for everyone, cakes, curry puff, apple pie and the price is ridiculously low. It’s almost half of what we pay for at Starbucks or Coffee Bean. I am serious, It would have cost like RM100 bucks if that is what we order in cafes in KL.. but we actually spent less than RM50 for everything on the table.
Yeah, we all had fun. We took lots of pictures that will make us laugh when we flip back and see it over and over again. Not to mention the funny moments we have. That’s right, that is what you get when you mix all different type of people together! Till the next trip, I would have to say. From Cameron, With Love! Other Cameron post: |
