F&N Freestylz - Unleash Your Art @ The Curve

I was having dinner with my aunty, uncle and cousin Siyi last Saturday. After the dinner as usual we would pay a visit to IKANO power... I was bringing my DSLR camera with me and i just decided not to sit @ Starbucks IKANO Power. So cousin Siyi and I walked over to the Street, Curve. It was packed with lots of people and with all those small booth setup in between the two row of eatery place.

Then we walked over to the loud music stage and found out that the F&N freestylz - Unleash Your Art event. I got the opportunities to take lots of picture from various angle. Took some pictures which was very close to the stage and some was from the 2nd floor facing the stage.

So crowded... see how serious was the crowd ;-)

Thanks for the sponsor F & N for throwing such a nice party... :-> Free flow of drinks for the whole night. I left the event about 9 something and walked back to the IKANO to meet my mom, aunty and uncle. I was having fun on taking lots of different shots especially those candid shots.

Eat eat and eat ... gym? <-- Lazy :-p

I have been eating and eating lots of nice food for the past two days... Yesterday was another round of food outing... *sigh* I will be fat... PT please help to give me more training... I was lazy to go to gym today. So decided to blog instead of gym. 

Anyway, I had a nice and relax Saturday morning sipping my coffee and enjoying the Starbucks breakfast @ the Garden Starbucks. It was a nice and none rushing Saturday morning. Saw lots of people from and to the gym in the morning. Unfortunately, my gym was not in Midvalley...

I had lunch with my another group of ex-colleagues which working with me in the company before i joined my previous company. We were colleagues for about 4 years. Still keep in touch with each other after all of us left the company. Anyway, it was a great and memorable moment. We went to Ding Tai Fung restaurant for its famous dumpling.

After lunch, we chilled out @ Starbucks The Garden. Chatting, catching up on what's the latest news since our previous meet up. My two Colleagues Siew Moi and Charlie (nickname) were enjoying surfing the net with my baby MAC...

I should be glad that i was able to join most of the activities in Malaysia before i leave for Africa... I have a busy schedule with lots of lunches and dinners...


Thursday (Kimmie, Soo Yim)
Kimmie and Soo Yim have scheduled a lunch on Thursday afternoon at this restaurant called Daorea Korean BBQ @ Taipan Subang Jaya. I went to South Korean few years back and found that this restaurant Korean food is very close to the restaurant that i have eaten in South Korean during my trip. Moreover, their service is superb...

I met another ex-colleagues of mine from Penang. He came to KL with his girlfriend for a weekend escape. I was looking forward to meet him, unfortunately due to my tight schedule this weekend, i only be able to host them for a Friday evening... sorry dude! After the Friday lunch, i headed to Time Square to wait for Gary (my ex-colleagues). They arrived @ about 7 something and after a short discussion, i recommended to pay a visit to HardRock Cafe Kuala Lumpur, my favorite chill out place in downtown.

Dinner with Sbanboy @ Sushi King

I knew Sbanboy via blog... he is my first blog friend that we meet f2f... We still keep contacting each other via blog and facebook. Once a while, we go out for dinner / lunch etc... Since i'll be going to Africa, Sbanboy has made arrangement from his busy schedule to meet me up for dinner... :->

As usual, we took pictures during dinner ... Since I got myself a new lens, i tried it out on our dinner.

RM2.70/litre petrol in Malaysia

On my way back from Subang to downtown KL via NKVE, i saw how people lining up @ the petrol kiosk to fill up the gas... I felt that it's a huge impact... this is because compare to last increase, this round a lot more car was lining up...

For me, i have filled up the gas yesterday and it would be not necessary for me to line up for filling up last night. Anyway, i bet there will be less car roaming around KL downtown... Malaysian needs some time to adjust the gas price increased.

Hopefully the fuel price increased will not have a big impact to the rest of the things... especially on our daily product. I don't felt excited to join this Friday lunch @ Nilai... i will need to spend more to go for the lunch :-(

Just wondered what would your next step?

Nails Flying Everywhere....

A little off focus ... just focus of the hand :->

I was sitting @ my balcony looking over the nice and breath taking view of KL city yesterday evening. Suddenly, I heard some clipping sound ... so i look around, up and down. You know what i found, my neighbor i.e. downstair was cutting his nail with his hand outside the balcony...

You must be wondered how i knew is he instead of she... To my curious, i quickly went to the room which would able for me to peep who was standing @ the balcony... i saw this guy happily clipping his nail and his nail was flying everywhere... so if you happened to get a nail from the sky... just don't think that it's god's nail or god given you a lucky nail... it's actually those people who are inconsiderate and care less of the environment and the hygiene of the surrounding. These people should be spanked and go to hell... *Piak Piak*

To my surprise, as i was walking with my friends few hours back in Midvalley. I saw this lady whom was holding a nail clipper and cutting her nail while walking up the escalator... Just wondered is this the trend today? To cut your nail in public and let left your nail anywhere/everywhere? What would you say?...
