Dear Diary,
Today I brought my dad and mum out to TOWN for shopping.. Though they are not so IN... I've decided to show them the Hang Out Place for the Youngsters.. as what they always call us..
After the much shocking experience with jap fashion, everywhere piercings and pacifiers, I thought i should bring them back to earth for a while and there we are.. the most decent looking, normal chinese cafe... the XW Cafe...
Serving HongKong styled cuisines, My dad and mum heaved a sigh of relieve and then they got another shock.... My dad's Ice Kopi came in a metal mug... He can't help but have to hum the jian yu feng yun song... (Famous Movie starring Chow Yuan Fatt in jail).
My mum then ordered her favourite PorK Chop and its really true.... Hong Kong style PORK CHOP really nice.... Dad Ordered the nominal HorFun, perhaps coz he wants to have some fun... But boy.. its yummy. It came with 5 huge prawns all fresh and so crunchy.... The prawn juice pratically squirts out when i chew on it....Of Course.. I make sure i look gracious and very high class when i wipe the juice from my mouth.. heehee! I ordered this french toast thingee and it appeared as a cube of bread... But boy.. the maple syrup and the cold storage butter goes so well with the pipping hot french toast... As u slice the toast, the maple syrup drools down the side.. Can you imagine that....... Sooo Soooo Tantalizing....
When i finally manage to slice a nice piece and savour it in my mouth.. stars laterally appeared.. I'm not sure if its the yummy sensation or the low blood pressure.. but gosh I REALLY SEE STARs.... Since then I've decided that I'll BE BACK........
The price is reasonable and its a wonderful place to hang out with young or the NOT SO YOUNG Pals... Includes mum n dad.... NOT TO BE MISSED.....

It was another fabulous nite out with my GAGA pals.. and guess what... we decided to rave it out the gangster way....
I was actually hoping to find a xiao ma ge mannequin inside.. But don't have leh.... Only could find some really sissy waiters... (oops) Like those in the movie.... (Movie Star ok)!
The deco of the place was CHIC... Too CHIC to be like the famous HongKong Gangster movie starring Chow Yuan Fatt... The Black mirriory Like finishes are simply too fabulous.. I mean you can detect stucked veg in between your teeth everywhere u turn.... Its what i call customer concious designs. The place was huge with a nice view of the sea and smooching couples.... but one thing you must really do.. Thats to check out the LOO... aka TOOLET... It took me like 5 minutes to find it.... There are mirriors everywhere and its so camoflaged i almost peed on the washing basin...
NOW I KNOW WHY IT IS CALLED BOSSES.... In the event you need to hide... u can just camoflaged yourself or hide in some hidden space like the toolet and wait it out.. Your enemy can NEVER find you.... CHECKING THE TOILET IS A SUPER MUST....
Now we come to the food.. I pretty like the idea that they serve an excellent selection of teas.. If you are just feeling chatty, you could ask the waitress whats this tea for and what that tea is used to.. and soon you'll find yourself in a TCM class...
We ordered so much food but there are a few I must mention. 1st there this duck on fruit platter and boy... Its so good.. refreshingly sinless... Judging by the small strips of duck meat on top of this fruit platter, we won't get high cholestrol perhaps will only be overworked as we try to out eat all the others GRACEFULLY.... And theres this fried brinjal or eggplant.... its soft and crispy and very healthy.. Yum Yum... The fried noodles are great too... and not to forget the soup in which the serving is so huge.. One serving and there goes half my stomach.... Not to forget Cold Chickens.... So tender and soft and its COOL... really really nice..
Overall It was an intriguing experience... and its simply too fabulous for the GAGA Girls as in such an environment we are not frowned upon when we do the loud Ooohsss and Aaahhhss and the HA HA HA and the OH MY GOD! THIS IS GREAT.....
Its a experience of the lifetime... Be BOLD.. Try to be a Big Boss... You just never know what you never know....

After reading lots of great reviews on Komachi over at hardwarezone forums (yeah, salon reviews on an IT forum), I decided to give it a try. Guess I was in a crazy mood, as I usually don't get expensive haircuts. I also wanted to see what magic they could do to my hair for the high price they charge. Usually it's $65, but for first timers, there is a 20% discount which means I have to pay only $52. Still expensive!
My stylist was Mr. Maeda San. The service standard is excellent. The long hair wash and head massage was exactly what I needed to relax my mind. The shampoo used was some kind of milk shampoo, which smells absolutely heavenly! I was tempted to buy a bottle home. Fortunately, they are not pushy with their products, unlike many other salons.
As for the haircut, given my short hair length, it's needless to say that there is nothing magical he could do about it. It turns out to be rather normal, what I could get with my usual $18 haircut.
Conversing with the stylists can be tricky, as all of them are Japanese. Most of the time, I have difficulty making out anything other than "ne".
They are currently in the process of moving from Liat Towers to Liang Court. So this entry might need updating when they eventually move over, which I believe will be in June.

The infamous Gelare Tuesdays, the only time of the week when you get waffles at half price. Sounds good doesn't it? Except you can expect to wait for eons for your waffles to be served.
We waited for a good 40 minutes before our simple waffle with two scoops of ice-cream got served.
If they couldn't keep up with the service standard, or to train their staffs to politely inform us of a possible long wait, they might as well not try stunts like this. It only serves to stain their brand name.
And I totally agree with Polarbear above, no free water is a bad move. It's the little perks that keep customers coming back, and the little irks that keep them away.

Being one of those born in the "Strawberry Generation", film cameras aren't totally foreign. But by the time we grow up and start working, digital has taken over. So I never really got to own my very own film camera.
Digital is convenient and all, but somehow black & white photography in digital just seem to lack something. Or it simply feels unauthentic to me when you can easily convert that colour image to b&w in a single click.
So one faithful day, I saw this used camera shop at the ground floor of Peninsula Excelsior Hotel. Much to my surprise, not only do they have the pictured camera that I have been eyeing, they had two units. One of them was in pretty bad shape, while the other looked almost perfect. Amazing for a camera that is made in the 70s.
So without hesitation, I grabbed the good one at just $100, which is the typical price even if you buy one online. The owner of the shop was really experienced, as he patiently showed me every detail of the camera to the film-idiot me.
For his patience, his experience shown in handling the camera, and the good price he gave, I'm giving him a 4-star. Knocking off one star was due to the other unit that was in really bad shape. The lens was ridden with fungus, which I really do not think it should be sold at the same $100 price tag. So be sure to check meticulously if you choose to purchase a used camera here.

Yar Claud is right.. The mussels are good.. But i love the fresh oysters the best... I wonder if they still serve that... The last i've been there they say no stock... Oysters all die coz Oil Spill.. heehee I just made that up!!!! The oysters are so value for money, if i'm not wrong its like $10 or $12 for half a dozen and boy the Oysters are HUGE.... Very fresh and good...... drizzzle some TOBASCO sauce. lagi SHIOKA DOO DOO.......
The baked mussels is very nice also. I like the baked stuffs just not the deep fried stuffs.. I got a body to maintain ok.... Though not much left.. but still......
Other then that.. this place is nice because its one of the least crowded restaurant usually...
Gosh.... Where does all these shoppers come from man.. Its crowded in Orchard Road, Suntec City, All the other Heartland Malls...... and now VIVO CITY.. Gosh........
Please Bring back the oysters....................................
Plea from:
Oyster Girl....

Its like flying they say.. Well... I do feel light enough to fly after the ride. heehee!
Aeroline unlike other coaches to KL are safer I feel. Judging by their stringent requirements for their drivers. The coach is somewhat comfortable with TV to watch and onboard meals to fill your hunger pangs. They also serve beverages like coffee, tea, milo and others..... Plus plus plus... A super small toilet for the Pee Wee....... The flushing system is super good and its the only thing that resembles the FLYING.....
If you happen to get on the double deck, you have a lounge on the lower level. It is especially good for travelling with grannies or older people who have difficulty getting on the high steps of the bus.. The lounge equipped with comfy couches and a special boarding entrance with lower steps to accommodate their requirements. If there are no such travellers then normal healthy and strong travellers like us can enjoy the luxury of the lounge with more leg space and a choice of the movie u wanna watch.
The beautiful thing about Aeroline is that it stops in Corus hotel in KL unlike the rest which is usually at the Bus Terminals which is rather less safe and convenient. You might wanna choose to stay in Corus hotel or you can conveniently take a train or a cab to the destination you desire. Corus hotel is but within their Commercial Distric. If you want to eat something before u travel further, you can always drop by KLCC which is like 10 mins walk from corus hotel.
Thats what I call travel in Style.. Its not pricy either... $67 for a non-stop one way trip to KL and cheaper if you book the return from Corus hotel as it is in RM. On top of that to make your trip lagi worth you can charge your lap top , phones and everything else with the 240V wall plugs on board.. Super Duper Right......

IT Feels so Embarrassing when somebody wears the same outfit as i am at this so glam party the other day. Matter of fact i think she looks nicer in that silver top... Grr...........
I mean... its so Difficult to find unique pieces of fashionable items. The shops just repeat themselves in every shopping mall and if you want something special... its DEFINITELY going to BURN A HOLE in my Pocket. I cannot imagine one new skirt in 3 months.....
So, i promise myself to keep a look out for interesting and unique shops that sells fashionable items at a reachable damage. AND I found B.Zone...........
Its a very unique shop. Looks pretty regular on the outside but spend sometime looking at the items there and you can find many interesting items. The one things that WOWed me is the interior design of the shop. The clever owner managed to hide a store and changing room in that tiny area. And boy.. u must really check that out... Its not visible to the naked eye, so if you must really find out, ask the shop keeper to show you or try some pretty dresses there.
Talking about the clothings... One thing i super like about this shop is the concept. They work with independent artist and so, their items are truely unique. There are only few pieces for each design and colour, Its hard to meet somebody carrying or wearing something similar.
The accessories are so special... It makes me wanna puncture my ears to wear these special ear BoBs.... The shop keeper 'Priscilla' showed me this special piece. 'Handmade cane wond ear BoBs' So Special So cute... I must have it......
Priscilla herself was wearing these very cute furry but not kiddy looking slippers..... They kind of gave this warm and cosy feeling for an especially cold christmas. I ended up buying myself loads of christmas presents.
I've got a nice bag for work.... ITs a pretty Hue of YELLOW... very clean looking.... and a matching Long Neckless to match with the bag. Neckless meaning wear already no neck? heehee! what a wierd term.....
Oh yar. i bought a piggy bag for my niece... thats her christmas present.. A piggy bag for her to PIGGYBAG.. heehee! And i bought all these for about $50.. can u imagine how good the prices are. Join them as a member and you can get 10% discount on your purchases plus plus plus....
I've got alot of wrapping paper from the information counter next door in which i dun need to queue or BEG.... the nice lady just asked.... Do you want wrapping paper... I say ok... maybe 2 and she went.. i wrapped them up in 6... How GENEROUS!!!!!... i am beginning to love shopping in the xchange. I hate it when I look like a Yao GUI queing for the wrapping papers... I mean i queue so long they only give like 1 or 2... so kiam siap right.....
Then i've got a lucky dip n got one free ticket to the ALIEN AND PREDATORS plus plus 2 lucky draw tickets to fill in.... Reallly so WORTH LOR..........
FOr First time i am TOTALLY SATISFIED and GUILT FREE for a Shopping Spree...
Will post photos later of my Shopping... Shops like B.Zones are like little Gems for that fashionable you.......

When you think of Cheap Electronics.. Where do you think of? Of course Mustafa....
How about Cheap perfumes and consmetics? Of course Mustafa....
How about Mid night shopping? Of Course Mustafa.......
Mustafa is the most superb HYPER SUPER MEGA departmental store i've ever come across...
Its Huge and most importantly the selections of goods is of such a fabulous variety. I love the fact that we could find some really rare items in one of the kind packaging. There are also a good selection of candy and chocolates, some i guess imported from UK...
Electronics and mobile devices like mobile phones, MP3 players and cameras are also of such a good value prices, some come with warranty.
Cosmetics especially fragrances you can select until your eyes POP OUT... You can test as much as you want and if you don't feel like buying, just walk away.... But you can never resist as the prices are of such a good value, you can hardly find it anywhere...
My friend found a brand of soap that was like popular 50 years ago and it was widely sold in the toiletries department. Can you imagine, Mustafa are also retailing CARS, FLIGHTS, 2 LEVELS OF REAL GOLD ACCESSORIES and a huge level of fruits and vegetables...
They sell their veg cheaper then my neighbourhood wet market and stock up on loads of veg i have never even seen before... I guess must be FLOWN FROM INDIA. It was FABULOUS.... I picked up a huge pack of mint for just a dollar and bought a large bottle of HARSHEYs chocolate sauce for just $4.90... Cheap hor... and the Muruku... really all sorts... so YUMMY....
For all our Indian friends out there... THIS IS A LITTLE PIECE OF MUMBAI for you.... Quit Harassing MR INDIAN CURRY HOUSE....
For those night vampires out there.. Go shopping at 3am at MUSTAFA.. you can get everything you want at SUPER VALUE prices Plus all the services and attention you need from the staff....
Its what i call a midnight get away.. heehee!

Oh MR Crabs..............
I am coming to eat you up.................................
Its another Gathering of the GAGA GIRLs..... and this time we've decided to visit Mr Crabs from Spongbob and friends......
The place was pretty out of the way, far from everywhere, situated in a funny set up of 3 coffee shops within 2 blocks of flats. However, the crowd was AMAZING... I've really never seen such a HUGE crowd in a Tiny coffeeshop... and the noise... Cracking of the crab shells, squirting of the crab juice, slurping the soup, licking the pot clean.... tells you everything you need to know about HOW GOOD THE CRABS REALLY ARE.......
My favourite is but of course the Mr Crabs...... The crab beehoon was very tasty. Its not the ajinamoto tasty kind but of the rich stock tasty taste.... Beehoon was soft n QQ and the crab was so MEATY.... I can sink my whole 2 front teeth i got last christmas into the fleshy meat..... Can you imagine that.... so juicy, soft and yummy. The soup was creamy and emits a sweet crab roe taste.
Thats not the best yet.. THE BUTTER CRABS was just like the ones i had in KL..... So CREAMY, So fleshy, So Delectable. *SLURP* Huge chunky crabs and creamy sauce.. can you imagine that.... HARD RIGHT.... But it sure is a POTENT COMBINATION.... It tasted so nice I almost wanted to lick up the plate... Order nice mini deep fried buns to pick up the sauce if you want to avoid spooning down the sauce. You simply cannot resist that.....
We had also the seafood tofu, It was soft and crispy on the outside. Very appetizing and kids surely loves it. It has got bits of everything in the tofu and very SHIOK if you eat it while its still Piping Hot.... The paper chicken was ok... Veg was ok.....
So if you are a crab lover... you must come and try this place out.. Can you imagine, I am still salivating? I must relocate to Ang Mo Kio.......
Don't EVER TRY IT..... If you are not planning to get HOOKED.........
