Remember my last post here about the best signage in the world? Well, saw another one these the other day in MidValley GSC as were lining up to try and get movie tickets. See photo below:

Just a short shout out to my little chica back in the land down under.

Woke up at 11ish this morning when my mum decided to start banging on my door only to tell me that my sister wanted to eat Indian rojak. :S Normally I would be peeved if someone just kept banging on my door like that but considering it was already close to noon, I thought it would have been good to be woken up. Was actually up at like 8ish but thought to myself "i'll sleep for a bit more" and the next thing I remember was jumping out of bed cause my mum was making noise.

Anyways, so I got ready. Left the house with me and my mum to pick my sister up and off we went to try and look for the yummy indian rojak. TRY being the keyword as I was first brought to this place by my bf and knowing me and roads (although we've been back there a few times), I still wasn't sure. Sis fell in love with the rojak after I decided to buy a packet of the roajk back for her to try one day. :P

Anyhow, we managed to find it! So where's this yummy place? It's in Section 17 somewhere (that helps huh? :P) where 2 vans just decided to open up shop (really it's just 2 trucks/vans). But fear not! I have taken a photo of the road name! :P

I'm sure alot of you have heard of Betty's Midwest Kitchen @ Aman Suria. For those who don't know, it's just a little shop sit in the middle of Aman Suria which serves American Mid Western food or at least try too. Considering I haven't been to the Midwest before, I really wouldn't know what kind of food they serve nor how good it is.



We were told about this place by a friend. And the only thing he said is a "must try" was a dish called Dog Food. At first I was thinking to myself, "no way is there a dish called Dog Food". Anyhow, I just let that slip by until me and bf went to try this place for ourselves. This would be the 2nd time we came here but I didn't bring my camera with me the first time. We were too hungry anyway and gobbled up the food pretty quick. Didn't even occur to me that I could use my handphone to take the pictures. Oh wells!

Prices are decent with a main ranging in the teens. Pretty good I have to say especially since it's western food plus the food is pretty decent. The first time we went, we had the meat loaf and a soup. This time we went, we had a Juicy Lucy which was essentially a burger. Both times of course we could not forget the Dog Food. Now what is it?! Haha! It's basically fries with cheese - smoldered with gravy! *yum yum* *does the dance*. Just the way I like my fries - soggy with cheese!! Haha!

Was sitting around on my bed thinking of what to blog about and I suddenly just realised that it has been more than a year since I started this blog. What started off as just a blog to commemerate me coming back and having as little as 1 - 5 blogs per month to now having about double or more then that amount! Haha! What has changed? Plenty! A quick rundown below:

1) Found myself a job in a media company called GroupM - finally something not boring like Accounting! Sorry che and ko (if you read this)! Haha! :P
2) Found myself a whacky boss who works in GroupM (photo below). Although, do have to mention that I think I am lucky in that sense. I think it is very hard to be able to find someone you are able to work with and still have a good time. =)

3) Finally someone I can rant, throw tantrums, and whine at and at the same time try and get lovings from.. Hehe.. :P


4) Had a H1N1 scare. Apparently the whole company was actually thinking of closing cause of me.
5) Moved into a new place - one where I will not post a picture of due to security reasons
6) Officially became an aunt - will post pictures soon =) Have not seen the little fella myself!
7) Ran 2 half marathons and various other shorter runs! Can you believe that?! Actually took a few photos of my medals but probably deleted them after I blogged about it because didn't find a point to keep photos of them. But think will start a taking photos of ALL my medals and see how many I am able to collect by next year! :D

So yea, that's about the most exciting things that has happened to me in the past year. Looking forward to many more exciting things! *fingers crossed* Hehe..

*Spoiler alert - don't continue reading if you're intending to watchi this movie*

Not sure if anyone of you have heard about this show - it's called Hachiko - A Dog's Tale. Me and bf watched it last night and I ended up bawling my eyes out. :( The movie wasn't really good actually but the story was really touching - if that is even possible. Haha! It was based on a true story which happened in the 1920's in Japan.

It was about a dog called Hachi (don't know where the "ko" came from because the WHOLE movie, he was known as Hachi) Anyway, as I was saying, the movie is about him (Hachi) and how he got lost and ended up on a train station. Someone found him and decided to adopt him. When he grew older, he would always walk the owner to the train station as he was going to work and everyday without fail, he would be waiting for the owner to finish work and come home at that exact train station. The pair continued their routine for a coupla years. One day, the owner suffered a heart attack. He died and never returned to the train station.

However, Hachi never stopped waiting. The owners daughter took him away to live with her but he would escape at all costs to try and get back to the exact train station to wait for him to come back. :( This went on for another 9 years that even the people who frequented the train station so often recognised him and helped with taking care of him (ie. food, water etc). Eventually of course, he died waiting at the train station. Today, they even have a satue of Hachi outside the train station in memory of him.

Can you believe it? Such a loyal dog! I cried so badly and my bf is going to kill me when he reads this but he was teary eyed too! =P

I can't believe it's April. This year has gone by so fast! 1 quarter of the year is gone! The next think you know, half a year will gone, then 3/4,  and then, a whole year! And I'm again going to be a year older! Boohoo! Anyway, anyone got any nice and interesting stories to tell regarding what they did on April Fool's day? It seemed to be the quietest April Fool's day ever! No one did ANYTHING!

Anyway, watched The Imaginarium of  Dr. Parnassus erm.. I don't even remember anymore but quite recent - latest also a week ago. But anyway, remember how I was complaining about Jennifer's Body being the shittest show ever? Well, I really think I have found something that could meet it's match. And yes, obviously I am talking about Dr. Parnassus. I don't know why it did so well in the UK and Europe (apparently).
