Girls Day Out - How to Train Your Dragon

From the moment I watched the trailer for this animation, I knew I have to watch this movie ! And so I did. Since Alicia was back for the weekend, a girls day out would be good. Woke up at 9am despite having just 5 hours of sleep, got my laundry and chores done, and off to One Utame we went.

Had our lunch at Subway, yum...and walked around till our movie time. From the moment the show started, it was all a good watch till the end. I personally felt that there was a balance amount of laughter, action and suspend, being an emotional one, there was a part that nearly got my eyes to well up in tears. I shall not reveal any spoilers for you, if you are a fan of animation, and totally dig Scottish accent. YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT !!

The only people I've heard of in the voiceover casts was Gerard Butler and American Ferrera, so if you have not google the movie already, then try to listen out for them. There was another character in the show which has the cutest Scottish accent ever - Gobbler (voice of Craig Ferguson). Reminded me so much of my friend Jack whom I met in Queenstown last year. Lurve it when he goes "No worrrries". Ahh.. I love Englishmen and their accent. muahahah.

Now back to the show, it was probably the best movie I've watched this year, so far. Wouldn't mind catching it again in 3D ( too bad they weren't showing that on Sunday).

The pastry Chef's famous moist chocolate cake. Yum! He made it specially for a colleague's farewell party.

Greattt Weekend

For some reason, I felt that last week gone past in a zoom. Hmm, would that be the right expression? Week 2 at work was quite a breeze and I'm slowly picking up things around the office, including that my skirt was a bit wee too short, and I need not wear a collared shirt under my jacket. Great ! Saves me from ironing any ! The week gone past, and came the weekend. Initially, I was looking forward to a quiet weekend at home, having the mentality that I have only have a one-day weekend. But then, the social side of me needs to get out and meet some ppl, so I was out all weekend !

After a half day work on Sat, I was out with Mom and her friend from Taiwan. Had to wave goodbye to the plan of bringing her up the skybridge after checking out the massive crowd at 7.30am, and I thought I was early! So we brought her around to visit her old school, SM Confucian, and then made a stop at both our house + grandma's.

Had a dinner appointment in the evening, it's been a while since I've seen this friend, so I went along for dinner with his friends at Alexis, Ampang. Recently I've been rather skeptical about meeting new ppl ( yes, some of you might find it weird to hear me say this), but all his friends were nice and fun, and sissy tagged along last minute. For dinner, I picked something from the menu, which had a rather interesting description. It was Angelhair Aglio Olio - served with grilled yabbies. A yabby is a name given in Australia to two different kinds of crustaceans. (Wikipedia). It was a lil costly, but it was worth trying.

After dinner, we went over to Zeta Bar @ KL Hilton for drinks and dancing. We did not get home until about 1am. It was a good night out, have not done this for a while.

*kiap* kiap*eat me*

The colour of the day is...

My one-day weekend

It's 5pm, that means my Sunday is coming to an end already. I appreciate weekends a bit more since I have to work on Saturdays now. Yesterday was pretty eventful, I got to work at 7.15am, yup, you got me right there. Headed to the staff kitchen, and was determined to have a good breakfast, unfortunately nothing appealed to me. It was difficult cos I was hungry and wanted some food to start my day!! Then Chef Tammie came to the rescue when I asked her if she serves cereal, and she gave me Milo pops ! That was the best way to start my day, am definitely going to ask her for cereal everyday.. and probably that way, I could lose some kilos.

After work, I popped over to KL Convention Center, there was a Asia Trader & Investor Convention. Don't get me wrong, I do NOT have the money to invest, was there to investigate! I was reading through the invitation that they sent me, and saw a familiar face on the speakers' profile. Was determined to find out if this speaker from MIMB was my Management lecturer n-years ago, and since I had a free ticket to the expo, why not! Anyways, I left the expo without a definite answer, but a guy from MIMB told me that Dr.Nazri was indeed a lecturer before he joined the bank.

Took a slow walk over to Sg Wang, was suprised to find the post office was still open, apparently they close at 6pm on Saturdays. Got the required stamps and it's all set to be mailed. (Watch out for the postman hun!) The mission to seek for a pair of comfy and presentable shoes for travelling to work failed. Saw this stall outside Sg Wang, they were selling fake Crocs ( probably real ones, but simply 'escaped' the lorry bringing them to the real Crocs store. Lolz
Didnt get home till about 5pm, and was whisked out for a drink by bro cos 2nd uncle +family was down in KL. We had a quick bite at Happy City foodcourt, am pretty suprised by the crowd and the quality of the food there. Will definitely make another trip there.

Was totally shattered when I got home at 6+, decided against the banana leaf dinner appointment.. Sorry to @dapest ! After showers, I collapsed on my bed, and it was a long nap before I woke up at 11.30pm.. for a light but late dinner. Haha. Then I watched Time Traveler's Wife with sissy. Ooh, Eric Bana was so hot in the movies, especially when he time travelled.*winks*

Today is a total relaxation, did chores, cooked, watch Paranormal Activity on DVD, it was.. urmm.. weird. It was more like documentary rather than a movie, and if I was in the cinema, I would be very tempted to walk out cos it was just boring. Hrmm... speaking bout the cinemas, I think it'll be a long time till I have time for a movie.. unless I wanna watch with the huge crowd on Sundays.

Oops.. it's 10.30pm.. bedtime.. Good nite world!
