I've always wondered why people always liked hanging out in Starbucks or Coffee Bean with their laptops on and tyring to look cool and suave. Honestly, I've always thought they look pretty stupid and always wondered to myself why can't you just do that (surf) the internet at home?! But it has recently come to my attention that there are people without internet at home still. There are also people that need to do discussions with a group of people. There are also a group of people that might have problems at home and would like to just get out of the house.

But want to know something funny? Recently, I have worked out in Starbucks and guess what? LOL! I actually got more work done then when I was home! Haha! But having said that, my favourite place to surf the net would probably still be at home - on my bed - with the air cond on - and my laptop on my lap - and pillows to support my back and neck up (especially in my new bed and new bedroom) =P

For those who know, I moved house recently and obviously my internet wasn't working. I nearly died because I was internet deprived. I signed up for a broadband stick (brand shall not be mentioned) and my god was it useless! I couldn't get anything done and it was freakin' inconsistent! One minute I'd get super good connection the next minute it would be gone! Freakin' pissed the hell out of me. What I should have done was try the P1 Wimax one. Look at it! Even the dongle just looks cool! Haha!


Anyways, here's my attempt it trying to earn some money from blogging for the first time. Think I"ll get lucky? Hehe!

Project Alpha Season 2 is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS.

Is it me? For those who use Safari - does your browser crash whenever you hit the "Publish Post" button? Thank goodness it posts everything up first before closing. It gets quite annoying but I have no idea why it does that. Anybody know?

Anyway, this is just going to be random post so that I can push my S.H.E content down because my bf keeps making fun of my "been gets" in the post. Blek! What are "been gets"? Can't remember if I have explained it before but basically a term that me and my boss use whenever our Engrand is not so good. Haha!

Currently doing? Trying to just quickly post this random post and then try and find a comfortable position which has the balance of me being able to do work on the bed and my laptop not frying my lap. Haha! Till my next post (hopefully something more exciting). Babai!

So I managed to score some tickets to the S.H.E concert on 6 March 2010 in Bukit Jalil Stadiium! Am not really a fan but I do listen to their songs and quite like them. I think if they were all guys then yea, would love them like how I love Lee Hom! LOL! But anyways, the original plan was to try and win tickets to them and bring my die hard friend. The big word there is try because I've never won anything like this before. So, told my friend and he just said OK. The next thing I knew was I actually won! I was so happy. I immediately called up my friend and told him and he was really excited! Until... he asked when it was. :( Coincidently he had his company annual dinner on that very same night which he couldn't get out of. Apparently if he doesn't show, he'll have to fork out RM100 as compensation so he told me to give his ticket to someone else. I was quite disappointed because I didn't know who else loved them as much as he did and since I managed to get the tickets for free, I really didn't mind going! Anyway, I then began on a quest to start asking other people.

A few days later, my bf sms-es me and says that he managed to score tickets to the concert too! Haha! So I ended up giving 2 tickets away to my other 2 friends and me and my bf (2 bananas - 1 full and the other 3/4) decided to go! Haha! Thanks for coming with me! I tried to let him hear to a few songs so that he wouldn't be so bored when he got there.

When we got there, the first song we heard was "Superstar" (unsure if this was the first song or not, because we went in late although we got there early because I had to wait for me friend to come so that I could pass him the tickets. There was another song before this but unsure whether it was them or just an opening act). Anyway, when I heard that singing this song, I was pretty much screaming. Then he whispered in my ear "I know this song". That's when I started cracking up! Who would have known that he knew the first song (or at least our first song) at the concert. Haha!

The stage had a cool setup (see images below). They ad individual landing thingys for each of their musicians. They also had this huge ass alien looking pillar. I don't really know what it was for but it was quite cool. Haha! They did have some acts coming in and out of the bottom of the pillar.




The other interesting/funny thing they did was where they pretended to be in a karaoke room. They literally brought up a chair and table and filled it with drinks and food and they were suppose to take turns singing one by one at the front on a little tiny stage with the microphone. Haha! Kinda ingenious. Instead of them taking a break backstage, they could take a break in front of everyone! :P Also, when it was their turn to sing, a video clip on the screens would come on but it wouldn't be the video clip of the original singer! It would be them! Quite cool that they actually took that effort to create those videos. For example below: Ella sang Jay Chou's Jian Dan Ai and below is the picture of her in her own vid clip. Didn't recognise Selina's song. Recognised Hebe's but didn't know who it was or the name of the song. It was a Cantonese song though!



Then they also had an act from Ling Yu Jia - the winner of Xing Guang Da Dau (1st Season). LOL! The dude who always cries. Was it me? Or was his voice kinda difference from what I used to hear him during the competition? My theory was that the songs were too low and I know for a fact that he can sing higher parts. Oh wells, photo of him below:


Last thing cool thing I thought they did. See photo and see if you can make it out!


Haha! can you make it out? They were standing on their elevator thingy and at the bottom, is had their names on! After like a song, the alphabets started to turn! 

And photos of them individually (on the screen of course so mind the bad quality photos :P)




And last one specifically for my friend because if I'm not mistaken, he likes her the most. 


Hehe! Looks pretty cool huh? Looks like as if she's just performing behind the bars. Haha! 

Okay okay.. time for me to get ready for work! Late already! LOL! Leave you with the last picture for the night. Woah, the lights the bright and they had confetti shooting out from the bottom like nobody's business! Oh oh! They also like fireworks shooting from the bottom of the stage every once in a while. My bf said that each time they do that it costs them RM1k? LOL! We started counting in terms of how many months pay we'd had to work to shoot out fireworks 6 times! (yes - we counted).

Tucked away somewhere inside Damansara Heights, near the Bukit Damansara primary school sits this super magnificent and yummy pastry shop called The Bread Shop. My sister has been raving about this place and I finally went to try it today because me and my bf didn't know what to eat for lunch and I'm always a sucker for pastry. It's is apparently near the original Decanter for those who want to know the more exact location.

The place doesn't look like a bakery from the outside. The walls outside are just painted black with tinted glass (am guessing to prevent the heat from getting in) with their white round logo on the top. But when we went it, it was totally different. It had a modern/sophisticated looking interior - high tables and chairs, mirrors in the right places, and a stainless steel kitchen. Do not have photos because I didn't bring my camera. Did manage to take some photos from my phone but the quality is pretty crap.

Anyway, we ordered the beef ciabatta and also the tuna croissant and I have to say, pretty pricy sandwiches but boy they were yummy! I could even taste the butter in the croissant even after all the onions and tuna taste. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing.. haha.. because that could mean it's super fattening as they could have used like a whole slab or butter rite? LOL! But who cares! It was yummy. We also ordered a coffee and ice lemon tea. Total bill came up to about RM45 bucks. Here are the photos I managed to take from my phone.


Photo of the beef ciabatta and my mocha. Notice my bf trying to get this hands on everything. Haha! :P 


And now him sinking his mouth into the yummy tuna croissant!

Meh, now it's time for me to go and give my doggie a bath.. bubyes..

Allow me to introduce the contestants!

Contestant No. 1: Bubbles Lim



Breed: Maltese
Age: 10 years this year
Nickname: Poochi, Old Lady, Babuji

Weight: 5kg

Don't let her old age, tiny and cute appearance fool you. This little creature is opinionated and territorial and a feisty little thing that is not scared of picking at bigger dogs or humans that enter her area. 


Contestant No. 2: Cookie Lim




Breed: Terrier mix
Age: should be 1 year this year
Weight: 8 - 10kg

This cheeky little fella is a runner. She can run like a fox and move around like weasel. She's terribly scared of people and will run the other direction when you come at her. 

Who do you think will come out the champion? Will it be contestant no. 1 or no. 2? Will it be the old feisty but smaller dog or the fast, younger but scared of people dog.

So here's the story of how the battle started.



One starry starry night, after coming home from dinner with my family, we came in into our driveway and we found a doggie in the house. A dog who now goes by the name Cookie. She looked lost and was and was terrified of people. She would run away when anyone tried to go near her. Our 10 year old Maltese saw her and started getting territorial. She went up to her and then everything started. Bubbles challenged her to a duel. I managed to get a video of the exciting fight between them.


Who do you think came out the winner? Scroll down to see the results.

Disclaimer: 
1. All photos are thanks to my sister. You may read more about her blog here.
2. This story is all fictional and that is not how we found her. 
3. There were no dogs that were harmed for the publication of this post. 
4. Am talking rubbish so that I can post the photo lower and have a more dramatic effect to the post. :P
5. For those who don't know, they were not really fighting - just merely playing with each other. 


And tadah! The winner has emerged. Cookie has been pinned to the ground. Bubbles emerges as the champion dog fighter!

Haha! Lame? I know.. sorry la.. I was bored. My measly attempts at trying to write a story. Obviously I failed muchly. :P
