My first Nuffnang event!

Attended my first Nuffnang event- the advance screening of the movie Sherlock Holmes! :)

 

Went with Mel on Tuesday!

 

11110.5 (4.5/5)

Seriously? It was a good movie! Definitely worth watching!!!

 

I LOVE WATSON! (More than Holmes, not sure why. =/ )
But I know for a fact that Mel’s definitely a die-hard Robert Downey Jr fan! HEEH.

Pretty sparkly nails

Had my FIRST EVER manicure last Saturday!!

Was still at Alor Star so after lunch at grandma’s house, my mom dropped me, my sister and my cousin at City Plaza. My sister came because I forced her she is nice and I wanted some company. :)

The nail salon is at City Plaza in Alor Star, Kedah. It’s on the 2nd or 3rd floor. T___T Forgot already. Same floor as B.U.M and Kappa, I think. =D Cause I remember walking around window shopping on that floor… ><

Forgive the not-so-pretty pictures cause they were taken using my iPhone camera which is only 2MP. HAIH!

Samples of designs that can be done at RUSH! Nail Salon.

Got pandas, butterflies, Chinese opera masks (LOL). Talented nail artist! :D

The Session

#1 Putting on fake long nails customised to fit my fingers so they look natural.371

#2 This is a blow dryer to dry glue/nail polish etc. 375

#5 Manicurist carefully painting nail art on my fake nails. She is a perfectionist- she rubbed off what she painted twice because she didn’t like it!! She also say she very ‘yin zim’! Haha.

TA DAA!

DSCN0567 This picture is blurry but shows how much the crystals shine!! <3

For the whole thing, which by the way took up 2 hours and includes:

  • Customised fake nails
  • O.P.I blue colour (2 coats)
  • Metallic blue colour
  • Glitter dust
  • Hand drawn nail art
  • Top Coat
  • 20 crystals

= $80

Oh well, apparently it will last from 2 to 4 weeks!! But I’m pretty rough and careless too! =(

We’ll see when it falls off under harsh conditions… ><

Quite hard to work around with nails this length, but they’re so pretty!!!! RIGHT?

Kampung Siam @ Alor Setar

The first day I reached my mom’s hometown in Alor Star, Kedah, my aunt and uncle brought me aunt for good old food. :)

We went to Kampung Siam, definitely one of my favourite places in Kedah. HEH. Also has air conditioner in the area, but have to book. And we did book, so awesome food in cooling room = HAPPY ME.

The dinner started off with fried mee hoon. But everyone was too hungry and the whole plate was clean before I remembered to take a picture. T___T

17122009126 Shrimp paste in yam with fried tang hoon

This is like the most famous dish in Kampung Siam, I think. It came out in the papers LOL. Very nice dish, sweet, sour, the shrimp paste (heh gor) also very crunchy!

17122009127 Asparagus belacan

OMG LOVE this!! I love asparagus! Sauce is impeccable with crunchy asparagus!

17122009129 Fried calamari

Mm, this was really good, too. XD We asked for mayonnaise, but before the sauce came, almost all of them were gone. That should tell you something, right? Right.

17122009130Fish in asam curry sauce

Perfectly cooked fish in asam sauce. Asam sauce is sour, with a bit of sweetness from the tomatoes. I saw the green stuff and thought it was long beans.. But it wasn’t. It was CHILI. =(

17122009132

Last dish- spicy crabs! Ooh, we also had the man tou to eat with asam fish and spicy crab so everyone was using their man tou as a sponge and after we finished there was no more sauce left on the plate. O___O

CAUSE WE LOVE FOOD!!

Pasta, pizza & pepperoni

If you want quality Italian food, go for Pizza Uno. Seriously. They have got the best pasta I have tasted in my life up till now. :P Ambience is great, too.

16122009063

The fancy menu

My parents and I dined at the Pizza Uno in Centrepoint because it was closer to where we were. Poor sissy couldn’t come along cause she had tuition. :(

16122009064

This month’s specials!

We ordered the crabmeat spaghetti and were tempted to get chicken and mushroom ravioli but decided we don’t want to stuff ourselves. ><

16122009069

How’s bold red for a wall colour? :D

16122009075

Check out the variety!

16122009065

The crowd @ Pizza Uno

16122009067

Me and mom! :)

16122009068

2 glasses of lime juice, with syrup to add to your liking.

Then, the food arrived. Nyommnyomm.

16122009080 Fried chicken- apparently a classic.

Quite an ordinary dish, I would say, except for the fantastic garlic sauce used. After we finished, there wasn’t a speck of sauce left! =X

16122009078

Tropicana pizza

Pineapple, ham, with a generous amount of cheese. :)

16122009073 Crabmeat spaghetti- one of December’s special.

This one is SO yumm! I actually found a few crab shells but mom said that means the crab is FRESH!!! Has a tinge of wine in it. So delicious. T___T

I LOVE Italian food, don’t you? :D

A 6 hour walk in 1 Utama!

I completed a 6 hour marathon in 1U yesterday. 8) We just kept walking and entering like all the shops that caught our attention. AHHH, still cannot believe I was there from 10am to 6pm+.

It’s quite sad that after I came back to Malaysia, I’ve spent more time in One U compared to at home. :(

Not many pictures cause I forgot to bring the camera!! ARGH. Must remember next time. Took photos using the iPhone camera but quality not so good. T____T Must beg Jen Ai to go out with me again next time. HEH.

photo(4)

Me in Red, Jen Ai in Black

Matching stilettos! So high I couldn’t even balance. My knee cap almost dislocated too. HAIH. Zara shoes are really pretty though. :3 And really expensive too. :D

Still got price tag in front of mine. LOLOLOL.

Lunch at Teppanyaki. Haven’t been here in 1 year ++++++. :D

We also saw the gyoza being cooked. Lots of oil + lots of margarine. O_O

GetAttachment.aspx Me and Jen Ai!

The above photo took us forever to take! T_T –curse the iPhone camera- PUII!
