My American Idol

I heart you, Adam Lambert!!!!!!!

What Recession?

Just came back from business trip and all I got was......might post the incriminating evidence over in the other blog........but only if you're good...;)

Partition

This is a surprisingly good movie - with thanks to the limited channels available from my hotel room. Nobody famous - well, except for that terribly annoying girl in Smallville. But admittedly she redeems herself in this movie.

Can't wait to check-out tomorrow, and move on to greener pasture. *Fingers-crossed* ;)

If Truth Be Told...

I had the most uninspiring day at work today. I am surrounded by IDIOTS!!! 'Nuff said.

Selingan: Eca Pede - Jamilah Jamidong

This is for my MJFC friends yang turun ke kota mencari cinta.

Selingan: Stevie Nicks - Edge of 17

Just like the white-winged dove, here's Stevie Nicks looking like Princess Leia out of a Stephen King movie.

24: Season 7

I've just watched 24 Redemption. It's a made-for-tv movie to pacify 24 fans in between Season 6 and 7. It won't be long now until Season 7 airs.

The Namesake

I first read The Namesake about 3 years ago. A dear friend had given me the book for my birthday. Even since reading A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth, I have always had a fascination for India and imagined it to be a magical place. The Namesake is no different, except the story takes place between Calcutta and New York. I love, love, love books that makes me cry. And cry I did when I read the book.

I got lucky today when one of the movie channels played the movie. I loved it! It also helps the fact that I have not read the book recently, so I got to watch the movie with suspended judgement. The only disappointment was the actor who played Gogol, the namesake. Remember Kumar of the Harold and Kumar Goes to blah, blah, blah movie fame? But don't let that put you off, the rest of the cast gave superb performances and the scenes in India are truly magical.

Just don't forget them tissues as cry I did again this time round.

Confessions of a Shopaholic

For those of you who are a huge fan of the Confessions of a Shopaholic books, you'll be pleased to know that it will be able to watch it in all its techni-colour glory early next year.

As for me, I will be at home watching sex and the City reruns.

Selingan: Project Pop - Bukan Superstar

Once in a while I come up with a list of people that should be locked up. This song is dedicated to all you twats out there who has ever graced my Hall of Fame. Go on, you know who you are:

"Kamu bukan superrrrrrrr,
Kamu bukan setarrrrrrrr,
Kalo digabungin kamu bukan supersetarrrrrrrrrr......"

Wind of Change

Not one to follow US politics - Congratulations to President Obama just the same.

Project Stylissimo!

I am currently working on a secret project with my MJFC pals.

Watch this space!

Selingan: Gita Gutawa - Bukan Permainan

Just saw this on Astro Ria today and loved it.

End of Syawal

Whilst we should all feel blessed that we have lived to celebrate another Syawal, it is always a relief, admittedly, that it is over too. I haven't had much rest nor quality family time since the first day of raya. Eventhough we purposely kept the raya-ing to a minimum, but every weekend there is always one open-house invitation to another.

We, however, did not organise any open-house event ourselves. Simply I didn't think I could cope without my senior maid who conveniently went home for 1-month leave, what with the baby, work, weekend commutes to Bandar....the list is long. So we kept it simple and for the few that came to our house - it was those that really mattered and close to our hearts anyway.

...and now for that quality time.

p/s the maid's back too.

The shop that must not be named

I don't know about you, but I hate it when shopkeepers/salespersons are on a permanent bystander mode. It's even worse when they just don't seem to have a clue about the products that they are supposedly selling.

We chanced upon this baby's clothes shop in KB on our way to The Early Learning Centre (or something along the line) to buy some toys for the boys. Since The Early Learning Centre was closed, we decided to check out the baby's clothes shop just 2 doors away - conveniently the shop didn't have a name nor could I find any shop sign.

Anyway, of course this being Brunei, instead of being greeted we got the standard cold hard stare from the 2 ladies (in black, i might add) behind the counter (score: 1-0). Oklah, maybe they needed a bit of warming up. So we browsed around the shop - admittedly they do have some nice stuff - and then I asked about the size of some baby socks. I didn't realise that my question had posed a challenge to their mental capacity as it took a few exchanging glances between them and a dramatic pause before I finally got a response. The response was *drum rolls please* "Those are for babies." Really? I was actually thinking of getting some for my grandma. Doh!! Wrong answer!! (Score: 2-0).

Through gritted teeth, I decided to hazard another attempt for Round 2 of Mastermind - this time with the nail-biting, "Do you have this in size 6 months and above?" Tick...tock...tick...tock... *Cue: bales rolling across the shop with sounds of crickets in the background.*

Let me tell you that while this mind-blowing exchange took place, the ladies were sat behind the counter the whole fucking time.

I am all for naming and shaming - however the shop did not have any signs nor name anywhere in sight. Alas, one quick look around the shop and we quickly ushered the boys out the door....of course no shopping bag in hand. Take that, you silly cows.

I can't believe it's Sunday already...

*shucks*

eXtreme stupidity

Me & Laukong were watching the Travel & Living channel when we happened upon this programme called eXtreme Gourmet. I must say it's the crappiest show I have watched on the Travel & Living channel. Basically the presenters travel to different parts of China and eat the local "delicacies". It's one thing to try the strange and the weird, but it's another to make such condescending remarks. It's so disrespectful and undignified. I mean where's the cultural learning in that? Plus the whiny lady presenter is so super annoying. Please, I hope you choke on the bull's penis.

New Evidence Found!

I have been busy updating my Incriminating Evidence. I forgot what a pain it is uploading jpg files on blogger but the result was worth it. And no, no handbags this time. I won't be taking any credits for the items either (am only the photographer). Check out for yourself ;)

Selingan: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps

I'm dedicating this video to Justy, Nips, Lulu and Mac who came by for sungkai yesterday. I haven't seen them since a week before puasa. How I have missed them. It was lovely to catch up especially with Laukong back as well.

Pixie-licious

Doesn't she look absolutely fabulous???? Looks like I may have to make that trip to the hairdresser's again - trouble is from the last trip, I may end up looking with a crew-cut instead!!
