Damn Burglars!

No more window..

I had a really nice 3-days weekend, except for one thing, a DAMN burglar broke into my car! I parked my car from 6.30pm till 10.30pm at quite a busy residential area near Jln Telawi in Bangsar. That place is always the place for me to park my car in that neighborhood, since there will always be human traffic in that area. Unfortunately, the burglar saw my car as his potential easy money, and broke my left co-driver window. The burglar went through my car's glove-box compartment, and the small storage box near the handbrake. I guess I was lucky, coz he only stole:
  1. My smartag, together with the touch 'n' go card, with credit worth RM6.50
  2. My smartag holder that was attached on the windscreen
  3. ....and my gear knob. (what the f*ck???!!!) Why why why would you steal the gear knob dumb *ss?!! Dah takde kerja lain?! Macam haram! Bodoh nak mampus!

Broken glasses everywhere..


The headless gear stick..

All my other stuffs like my Emporio Armani sunglasses, A/X sweater, Kenneth Cole shoes and my newly bought Docker's pants were amazingly saved from being stolen.

Anyway, early in the morning the following day I was on my way to the Police Station in Brickfields to file a police report. I was driving on the NKVE Highway, when suddenly a small black object bounced and flew from opposite direction, and BAMMM, hit my car bonnet! I kept on driving and took a glimpse at the bonnet, and everything seems fine. Only when I reached the police station that I realized that the black object dented my bonnet! Double damn.


Bad bad black thingy..

The police officer took my statement, and took some photos, which will be used during the investigation afterwards. I kinda have doubt with whatever investigation they gonna do, are they really gonna do an investigation on my case? If it's a murder case I guess definitely they gonna focus on their investigation, but for my case I guess I will just be one of the statistics in the "Number of Car Broken Into in WP Kuala Lumpur 2007".. Huhu..

Later I proceeded to the Proton Platinum Service Center in Mutiara Damansara to fix the broken window. I have to say that the customer service was really nice, and the place is really comfortable. Unfortunately they do not have the parts that I needed, and upon further checking, the parts are available at the other Service Center in Kepong. Due to the urgency of the parts (yeah takkan nak balik Ganu with a wide open window kan), I went to that place. It was so packed with customers, so I had to wait from 1200pm till around 4pm to get the job done. Damn speaking about time wastages due to that stupid burglar actions!

I guess from the whole situation, I have learned that anything that might lure a burglar into your car should never ever be visible to them. My smartag device is always hidden in the glove-box compartment, so that was not the issue. And I don't think the burglar knew the luxury brands that I have in my car, since he did not steal any of it. Therefore in my case, it was only the smartag holder on the windscreen that provoked the burglar. :(

It's ok , always learn from the mistakes that were made, so that you will be wiser in the future.

G Hotel @ Penang


The fabulous lobby

I recently bumped into an article about the opening of a new hotel, The G Hotel. It is located on the Gurney Drive, which explains the simple name of the hotel. From the pictures that I saw, the hotel looks really chic and I think it can easily be featured in the Wallpaper magazine.


The Executive Suite


A very sensual bathing experience

I really love the interior and the choice of colors in the rooms. Neutral colors really exudes some relaxing mood to any person that walks into the room. The interior designer also introduced some bright red colors and dark wood furnishings to create a really warm feeling as well.


The minimal bathroom


Standard Room


Four-Poster Bed

Hmm I guess the next time I'm in Penang, I will definitely try out this new hotel. It is so so soooo nice! And I hope that more hotels with newer and modern designs will be built in Malaysia, since we have very few of it, compared to Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia.

Spring Cleaning Day


Before..

I declared today as my spring cleaning day! The spring cleaning is for my whole bedroom, but the most important priority is the wardrobe. Yes, the wardrobe has been in really messy and disorganized condition for the past few weeks! Shame on me huhu... But I guess I get the excuse for not organizing my wardrobe, since most of the weekends I'm in KL huh? :p


Shopping bags everywhere..

The wardrobe is so full of clothes, some of which has not been worn for the past 5 months I guess. So the solution is to throw away all those unmoving items, such as 5 t-shirts, 2 shirts, 3 pair of socks, 1 trousers, 3 underwears, 2 boxers and 4 NOMEX coveralls! Throwing all those stuffs definitely gave me more extra space, for more new clothes hehe..


After..

Instead of folding my clothes and put it in stacks inside the wardrobe like before, I decided to roll up all my clothes so that the space usage will be more optimized. Yeah I have been practicing rolling up my clothes in my luggage bag whenever I travel and it is a really useful technique. However, all my nice shirts, t-shirts and jackets are hanged inside the wardrobe, which I think is simply fair for the definitely above average price that I paid for them, compared to the ones that I rolled-up..


Rolled-clothes galore.. :P

After color-coordinating my hanged clothes, I just realized that I have too many brown and white clothes! Time for more summer-happy colors eh?


Too neutral..

p/s: Kix-kix & Muddy, we have to go to Singapore this June for the Great Sale!

Beautiful Teluk Bidara & Tanjung Jara


Teluk Bidara during monsoon season..

During last monsoon season, on one of the weekends that I didn't go back to KL, I drove all by myself to just browse and look at the beaches around the town of Dungun. I remember even with the fierce and very rough sea, and plus the weather was drizzling a bit, the beach at Teluk Bidara still managed to looked very beautiful. I took a few photos of the beach, and made a promise to myself to come and visit the beach again after the monsoon season, to take more pictures.


Road to the beach


Calm waters at the river mouth


Local version of Portofino? :P

Today the weather was really bright and sunny, so I decided that this is the perfect day to visit Teluk Bidara. The route along the way to the beach was really scenic, a little bit winding road near a hill, then passed by the Dungun River mouth with colourful fishermen's boats. Later I passed a very nice malay village, before approaching the Teluk Bidara beach. I personally think that the beach is one of the nicest beaches in Terengganu, if not Malaysia.


Scenic view..


Picnic on the beach


Postcard pics?


Happening Teluk Bidara beach..

The beach was full of activities, families, youngsters and students having fun in the water, or just by lazying on the sand and rocks. Some kids played flying kites, and some just cycle on the pavements. One makcik sells rojak buah, drinks, kepok lekor and goreng pisang. There were also a few guys with fishing rods on the rocks, and even a barber trimming his customer's hair under one of the many gazebos! Interesting huh? :)


A cave for the naughty ones huh?

Laid back flip flops

I bought some rojak buah and ate it while enjoying the beach. Hehehe so heaven! Took some pictures and then headed to Tanjong Jara Resort for a visit.


Rojak buah yang sedap..


Clear waters..

I have stayed twice at Tanjong Jara with my friends, so it really brought back the happy memories that we had there. Some of it were playing Saidina at the lobby till late (and till everyone went bankrupt! Haha), lounging at the huge swimming pool all by ourselves, and the dinner at Di Atas Sungei Restaurant. The resort just renovated the Tanjong Club Spa to become the Spa Village, so now it is under the same spa brand like at its sister properties at Pangkor Laut Resort, Cameron Highlands Resort, Ritz-Carlton KL and Tembok Village Bali. Hmmm maybe I need to spend my time again there very soon heh?

My New Adidas

My good ol' brown Adidas sneakers just got ripped on the front-tip sole, after three-long-serving years for me. That was really my favourite sneakers! I think I wear it to almost everyplace I can imagine. My adidas terkoyak while I was window shopping in KLCC with Kix-kix and Muddy. So I guess the best option was to buy a new pair of adidas sneakers that very moment!


Buy me buy me!

The moment I saw the chalk colored sneakers at the Adidas store, I immediately love it. It was a pair of Adidas Porsche Design CL sneakers. I asked the store assistant whether they have size 10, and they have it! I guess I was really lucky on that day because from my experience, it is really really really difficult to find a really nice pair of sneakers for my size! I was in Singapore last December and I couldn't find my shoe size over there as well, damn takkan nak kena pegi Europe or US just to buy a pair of shoes kan?



You are mine now..

Anyway, I bought the sneakers and immediately wear it at that very moment. Superhappy with my purchase, but I think I will still repair my good ol' brown sneakers because it is a very classic design.

Dreamgirls


All you have to do is dream

Before I watched this movie, I really don't know what to expect from it. But I do know that the reviews of the movie were really good, further justified with all those Golden Globe & Oscar awards.

After watching it, Jennifer Hudson's performance as Effie White really blew me away! Such an excellent performance for a first timer on silver screen! I have liked her singing since the American Idol days, even though sometimes the way she sings can be a bit over-the-top. I think the best part was when she sang "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going", it was a really really sad scene..


Effie White crying out loud..

Beyonce Knowles was really gorgeous in the movie, but acting wise she was a good performance and not that outstanding (compared to Jennifer Hudson of course). Her character as Deena Jones really resembles Diana Ross, with all those big hairs and glittering dresses.

Overall, I will give the movie rating 8 out of 10 stars (based on Shobshob score card haha), for excellent performance by Jennifer Hudson, and the ability of the movie to create a really feel good emotion (as well as sad emotion), through superb soundtracks with motown vibe!
