Another SpyShot...

This morning while I was driving to work, via the Segambut Dalam shortcut, I saw this Indian guy driving this old old Japanese guy, who is draped in some factory supervisor/engineer uniform... The car was white, and certain parts are covered in white tape. May it's the new facelift Nissan Teana?

Pics coming up! Be the judge yourself...

Proton BLM Spotted...

The other day when I was having lunch with the MB gang, we spotted the new unlaunched Proton BLM on the road... Because it was stuck in the huge jam somewhere in Masjid Jamek, we frantically took many shots. In fact, too many until the guy inside the car tulan and took his camara out and shoot back :) Thanks to LH for having her CyberShot with her...

Christmas Comes Early (Part 3)

Next, after ditching the old stroller in the car, armed with the new Maclaren, we went downstairs to take some "commercial" Christmas pictures. Man, was it "People Mountain People Sea" or what... Didn't really get a good shot as Iz was really excited with his new ride...

Was nicely surprised that our friend's cupcake business - Cup Cake Chic (http://www.cupcakechic.com.my/blog/blog.html) had a booth there as well! Quickly asked whether Joanne was around, but I guess she was busy with her new Cupcakery! Congratulations Jo!

Christmas Comes Early (Part 2)

Next comes to the stroller shopping. Having already done extensive research, we decided on the following criteria:

  • As light weight as possible,
  • As foldable as possible,
  • But still be able to recline somewhat,
  • Don't want fancy cup-holders, super suspension, tray or any other fancy pansy.
  • Not > RM1000.

We ended with the following shortlist:

  • Peg Perego - Pliko P3
    • Liked: this for complete recline, reasonable weight, one swift fold
    • Hated: too many accessories, most heaviest among compared, RM1.7K (!)
  • Maclaren - Quest Sport/Mod
    • Liked: lightest, can incline 45 degrees, cheapest among compared - ~RM800
    • Hated: hard to find, harness no padding
  • Quinny (Maxi-Cosi) - Zapp
    • Liked: Smallest folded! It's barely longer than my tripod when folded, looks very high tech
    • Hated: Zero recline, no padding anywhere at all, price ~ RM1000-ish, hassle to close (at least 4 steps)

Was in happy mood after nice dinner, and the salesperson was very sincere, so out came from Mothercare @ 1 Utama, this => (http://www.mothercare.com.my/web/propic/Quest%20Mod%20Black).

Hot off the press:

P1020842

It's a actually Quest Mod, which costs RM100 more than Quest Sport due to the "designer" fabric pattern, but oddly Mothercare sells both at the same higher price of RM 819. No discount even though there is a sales going on. LittleWhiz.com was selling about RM20 cheaper for the Mod version, but what the hack, we were in a happy shopping mood.

Christmas Comes Early (Part 1)

Since we are already in the holiday moods, we decided to go out to have an early Christmas celebration.... It has been ages since me and Jo had a proper Japanese dine in...

Cue from chleong.net (http://chleong.net/blog/?p=472), I decided to try out Umai-Ya's branch at The Place, Damansara Perdana (http://www.umai-ya.com/). Thinking it's just going to be one of those lame typical "traditional" Japanese, where the food is gonna be expensive, yet so so quality...

Boy was I wrong.

It was good. Seriously good. How good? The ingredients are the most freshest I have tested in a restaurant (and that's including non-Japs as well). I had the Umai-Ya Bento Set (RM50), and it had the mother-lode of everything I would expect. From super duper nicely cut fresh Salmon sashimi, to Chawan-mushi, to cold noodle, to Eel/Unagi, to Tempura, to Miso soup, and even green tea icecream. And they don't just impress with quantity, the freshness of each element really surprised me. Definately coming back for more.

看起来有点复杂?别怕别怕,就好像鬼佬讲的“easy as an pie“。

它能将档件类型分成不一样的颜色分类。就如以上的案例,蓝色是方块是VPC档件 (可见我有多勤劳工作。。。)。 在各自的格子点一点击,它就能显示档件的方位。

百闻不如一见,现在就去下载那627KB的装件!!!
