Pesky Mosquitoes!

6 Sep 2007 In: Random Blabber

Talk about agony! Just the other night, i was once AGAIN deprived from my beauty sleep by those darn blood suckers. You might say i am making a big wussy fuss out of it. Everyone gets mosquitoes attacks once in a while.

You gotta understand, oftentimes Mr. Insomnia will pay me a visit. So i am generally lack of sleep *he always left me too reckless. Maybe 1 or 2 weeks in a month i’ll be mostly sleepless. Annoying but livable. But in rare occasions whereby Mr. Insomnia decides to leave me, i get ambushed by those pesky lil’ mosquitoes. When i say ambush, i’m not kidding. There were more than enough to leave me awake for few nights already. My house doesn’t have air-conditioning so it’s even more worst.

I had already sprayed my whole room with aerosol insecticide (Shieldtox) 3 times a day for the few consecutive days. It didn’t help. Change to another stronger brand (like Ridsect) you say? Nope. I don’t think it would make any difference since i sprayed using this brand for 3 fringgin’ times already. Eventually, those pesky things seems to come back… from nowhere.

I could not begin to understand why had god created such nasty awful creatures! I don’t care bout those ecological shit so just don’t start with me. *yes. it’s already to THAT extend!

So, i did what was the most logical thing a girl in distress would do. I went on a crazy extermination spree!

I spent half of the today (first half was me, miserably trying to get some shuteye) in my room searching for possible cracks/holes i thought might be accessible. Masking tapes served to be handy. I taped all the cracks and holes with it.

Next, i sprayed my room with Sheildtox again. Even the taped cracks i sprayed. Despite the intense toxic smell, I actually stood in my room after i had done to watch those blood suckers fall dead *yeah i’m a psycho. So what. Determined to let everyone know i am not exaggerating, i collected the mosquitoes remains on a piece of newspaper. O_o Guess how many i killed? 16!! That’s just from the floor alright. Not including those i missed out or those that might still be on top of the cupboard or something.

I smacked a whole lot of them in the bathroom while showering. I killed few in the loo.

Next, i surfed *the net. The best way into an enemy’s territory is to know them well, no?

I had no idea there were so many types of repellents. There were the normal household repellents like aerosol, anti-mosquito coil, and mosquito killer lamp.

Then there’s the mosquito killer bat that looks remotely like a tennis racquet. Sellers in pasar malam will guarantee its effective. Don’t be fooled. The ‘net‘ is actually electric rods. You’re to swing the bat at mosquitos to zap them. Frying - up mosquitoes i like, having to chase after them all the time like a twit i don’t like. I used to have one of this. *so tiring swinging at tiny winny mosquitos i could barely see. Went to the rubbish bin just a few weeks after.
.
.
.
I also found out mosquito repellants comes in patches… as like those body stick-on diet patches. But instead of body, you have to stick to the clothes your wearing. The patch also emits a smell which drive away those blood suckers. So imagine yourself as a walking, talking, human repellant that smells *um… not a good idea.
.
.
.
Among all, was the garlic made repellant. Yes, GARLIC. It’s a strong liquid made of garlic cloves! Apparently garlic juice is a very effective and natural insect repellant. Ok ok, i guess everybody knows that already. Well, i didn’t know and how i haven’t seen any on sale?? I want these!

Tonight i am going to lavish on garlics *does it work that way?. Tomorrow i’m getting the frequency-insect repellant…

Sorry for my crazy ranting on mosquitoes. I’m going insane. I really hate them.

Is the Big Apple really BIG and TASTY?

3 Sep 2007 In: Food Reviews

***********************************************

Mr. Dou-Nuts and i have an exclusive relationship. I think of him when i am idle. I think of him when i am swamped. I think of him before i go to bed. Heck, sometimes i even dream of him!

I don’t mind not having him around all the time. But when he’s around i am the happiest chick around. When he’s away, i will miss his savory fragrance and good supple body.

I love him. I want him. God dammit, i need him!

***********************************************

Wooaaa! Stop, stop! Don’t get imaginative alright? I’m just talking bout some yummy donuts. Donut fans out there, (raise your hands guys!) would know what i meant *yeah, uh-huh.

Ok, back to business. I guess by now, most of you had already heard about and even tried out the latest donut-sensation in town. That’s right, i’m talking about the very famous Big Apple Donut & Coffee outlet set up in the Curve, Kuala Lumpur during this mid-year.

I understand all the hype going on bout this outlet. After years of relying on Dunkin Donuts for some… um… hard and dry supply of donuts, to donut-lovers, Big Apple is heaven.


Note:
The Big Apple’s recipe is from New York but they do not have any outlets there. Do not mistake it for the Big Apple Bagels franchise in US. The Big Apple here is a Malaysian company with currently 2 outlets (one in the Curve, KL, and another in Seremban). Only the technology is imported from US.

Too many crazy donut fans makes taking pics a hard time :(

I’ve received tons of comments from friends and read gazillions reviews on the net about the delicious donuts. There were even a segment on NTV7’s ‘Life Session!‘ showcasing the new shop. Unfortunately, i did not have the chance to check it out until recently.

Mine are the 2 on the right… *paiseh

So i checked out the shop and found a crowd outside the outlet. I wanted to take pics of the entrance but i didn’t want to embarrass myself. Instead, i took a few pic inside while queuing. The staff looked at me as if i’m an idiot…
.
.
.
One glance and you can see that everyone there is purchasing 1/2 dozen or 1 dozen of donuts coz it’s more of a bargain. (It costs RM2 per piece, RM9.50 for 6 pieces and RM17 for 12 pieces). Being the only one buying 2 pieces was… awkward. *i’m poor. So, sue me!

California Almond tastes the same as Dunkin’s but much better and not as sweet. I absolutely adore Tango Mango especially the middle part with mango flavored cream.

After finally tasting the Big Apple’s donuts, i conclude:-

6 reasons why the BIG APPLE IS DA BOMB!

1) More varieties in flavor available for selection.
2) Cheekily named donuts such as Bananarama, Tango Mango, Cocoring, Choreo, etc… *very creative!
3) Absolutely chic packaging which made me want to get some just to have the box for keeps.
4) Soft, moist donuts. I find Dunkin’s very dry and hard.
5) Delicious toppings.
6) A plain glazed donut FOC for each purchase of drinks *i don mind if it’s plain as long as it’s free!
>

3 reasons why the BIG APPLE SHOULD BE BOMBED!

1) Bad interior arrangement. Donuts were displayed in a single long counter. In order to see all the varieties, i had to walk all the way to the end. By the time i had made up my mind, the next few customers is already right behind me… *argh!! It’s either you remember all the names of the donuts and tell the staff your choices OR you point like an idiot hoping the staff gets the correct ones… *so stupid.
2) Extremely long queue each time i passed by. From morning to night… *let me in you crazy people!
3) The donuts were small in size and not fluffy at all contradictory to everyone’s comments. I could barely taste the donut.

Back to my first question. Is the Big Apple really BIG and TASTY? Big? Not at all. Tasty? Almost.

Music and Memory Lane No.1

2 Sep 2007 In: Entertainment, Music

Pleasant chit chat with a certain someone left me feeling nostalgic. We talked about music, the past songs we listened to and the present. Made me miss those good ol’ days in school. Made me wonder about my taste and selections in music.

Memory lane…

Alanis Morissette
**************

The first ever cassette i bought was Alanis Morissette’s. Not her first album released but it was her best. Her style of music was different. Hippie and rebel persona. Dramatic voice. Self confessional bald-faced lyrics. Best for screaming your heads off at karaoke sessions. Anger management therapy *yeah, those were the days. And who could forget her long long hair! I was an Alanis wannabe *not funny.

Ironic‘, Heads Over Heels, Hands in My Pockets…My personal fav is ‘You Learn*sublime. Her albums after ‘Jagged Little Pills‘ were just so-so, although i still listen to few selections of her songs.

alanis
My frist Alanis ~ Jagged Little Pills (1995)

NOW WHAT?
Truck loads of awards. Extensive tours and unplug concerts. Recorded soundtrack *remember ‘Uninvited’?. Made MTV in the nude. More scathing lyrics. Chopped of her long hippie hair. *boo hoo. Admitted being a homo and smoked pot. And recently recorded this *O_o


‘The Hump’. Familiar?

Backstreet Boys
*************

backstreetboys
My first BSB ~ Backstreet Boys (1995)

I loved these guys! Still do *i do!. Up-tempo music, great voice, even better harmony. I fell in love with their acapella act. Back in the 90’s, I used to listen to them every single day, everywhere. In the car going to school, back from school, in my room before taking a nap, before going to bed at night *i think you get the idea @_@. Remember the nice MTVs?… ahhh…

NOW WHAT?
After years of hiatus, the back-together album in 2005 released was a run from their original pop style. The single ‘Incomplete‘ received massive support. *was da bomb!. Now they’re back with just 4 members (minus Kevin). The latest album, ‘Unbreakable‘ to be released in October. I’m watching out for it :). Truly unbreakable.

911
***

911
My first 911~The Journey (1995)

OMG! I remember going for their showcase in Kuala Lumpur during high school years. All my classmates used to have their pics on the cover of their school folders. I still have 2 of the cassettes in my store room. Looking back, i have no idea why i was chasing after these guys. Extremely embarrassing. *oh, sue me!

Good lord! ‘The bodyshakin’. I can’t believe this move was ‘the fad’ in those days.


Remember this??

NOW WHAT?
They eventually split up *thank god. Lee (the looker) got married and got a job playing Peter Pan in theater *no. I was not one of his fans. Jimmy (the old hag) still trying to stay in the music scene joined a new wannabe boyband Upper Street which turned out to be a disaster. Spike (the dancer) proved to be most successful, set up a youth program teaching kids dance choreography.

Hanson
******

hanson
My first Hanson~Middle of Nowhere (1997)

Who could resist this cute band. The acapella was great but they sounded a lil’ like chipmunks *wakaka. Catchy catchy acoustic tunes that i used to hum all the time. ‘Mmmbop‘ was so popular i could hear it at every nook and corner. Hanson was the first well-known ‘kiddy’ band which paved the path for other bands like The Moffats.

NOW WHAT?
All 3 brothers are happily married! With Taylor being he first to get married, now with 3 kids. Isaac on the other hand got hitched last and had just welcomed his first child *congrates. Career wise, all is good. Earlier this year they had released a docu-series in iTunes and in July released another album ‘The Walk‘. *look out for the song ‘Watch Over Me’ and ‘Running Man’! Again the songs in this latest album sounds very catchy and some songs sound very…um… ‘Hanson‘ but very modern rock. Nice album. Full length of songs available for preview at the official website.

Preview of ‘The Walk’

Malaysia’s 50th Merdeka!

1 Sep 2007 In: Food Reviews, Holidays and Weekends

Tried to get tickets for the Malaysia International Fireworks Competition 2007 held at Putrajaya, but no luck. Should have known better… *how to get tickets just one day before wor…-_-”... *whacks head with spoon

So to avoid traffic jams and the ridiculous crowd on Malaysia’s 50th National Day, EatAllYouCanShung and i went to makan Thai food and tried to get tickets for an angmoh’s movie *wakaka! We’re so damn patriotic!

merdeka
Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Chiang Rai Style Thai Food Restaurant is located in Aman Puri, Kepong. It’s very easy to find once you’re in that area. A small shop just opposite the King’s Confectionary at Jalan Desa 1/3, right next to the big Old Town White Coffee.

It’s not like those expensive posh looking restaurant like Bangkok Jam or Just Thai. A small shop and look kinda old.

Food was yummy-licious! We ordered 2 dishes. The tom yam soup with chicken and sautéed pork with cashew nuts. Served with rice, of course. Both dishes were quite good and come in moderate proportion.

I love the tom yam! Not too spicy or sour. Just right! The sautéed pork was quite good but bit too hard. *sorry no pics coz i didn’t bring my camera*whacks head again… With drinks, (Chinese tea) it only cost us MYR22.50 :)

I think can just fit in bout 25 or so patrons at one time. Worth a visit if you don’t mind waiting long for your food to be served (we had to wait for bout 30mins!). There were only 3 floor staffs when we were there preparing drinks, taking order, serving, etc… -_-”

Good thing is the Myanmar staffs speaks excellent Cantonese!

Happy Merdeka Malaysia!
