Delicious Cafe + Penny Tai, 1 Utama New Wing

Last Saturday I went to 1 Utama to buy ticket for the T.Music Festival, and I then went to watch Murderer. I read from review that there's similarity in Murderer and The Orphan. My guess is that the little girl in The Orphan is actually not a little girl too :p

It is almost 4.30 p.m. after the movie and I feel a bit hungry. So off I went in search of a place to eat. As I've plan to go to Penny Tai's autograph session near the main entrance of the new wing, so Delicious is a fairly good choice because it's located inside Ms. Read and just next to the main entrance.

This is the second time that I am dining in Delicious. The first time is a very long time ago. For drink, I ordered Thai Cooler. Which is soda with lychee and lemongrass. I don't know why they give me the extra syrup because there's really no need for it, the Thai Cooler is sweet enough without additional syrup. It taste very refreshing. One of my recommended drink to order.


Thai Cooler

I don't want to have a heavy meal so I just order a soup and a salad. The soup, which I ordered is French Onion Soup. It's been quite awhile I didn't drink a French Onion Soup. I like the way they put the grilled cheese on top of a bread and on top of the soup. Unlike some other restaurant which will put the cheese in the soup and melted in it, makes the soup very salty. I like the onion soup that is not very salty here. Just taste right. The grilled cheese is grilled very nicely too, just the right crunchiness and chewiness.

Rating: 4/5

Where's the soup?

Ah, there it is.

For the salad, I had lettuce with avocado, chicken, and cranberries salad (the name of the salad is to long for me to remember, it's Cos Lettuces something something). I have a soft spot for avocado, if there's no other dish I like to try, avocado dish is the defacto dish that I'll choose if it's one of the ingredient or condiment. The salad dressing used is usual that one can find in Caesars Salad. The lettuce is very fresh and crunchy. I can do with more avocado though, I was only able to find only 3 or 4 dices of avocado. The diced chicken breast is a bit too dry, difficult to swallow. The lettuces, avocado and cranberries saves the day.

Rating: 3/5

Les Salade

Well, there's still a lot of dishes to try in Delicious. Most probably will try the Duck Confit on my next visit.

I was there in Delicious until about 6.30 p.m. only then I move to the outside of the main entrance for the Penny Tai autographing session. Of course, she's not there yet. 988 DJ May 子 and DJ Hau Min were the MC of the event. This is DJ Hau Min's first time hosting an event in the outdoor.



They played games with the fans and the prize is a poster of Penny. Only at around 7.30 p.m. that Penny showed up. It's been two years since her last album. Here's a video of her singing "兩難" one of her latest song from her new album "原諒我就是這樣的女生".



After a few more songs and poster flying, it's time for the autograph session to start.



I bought her newest CD there, the price is lower than what is selling in the CD shop. RM 40 only. Of course, I was able to get her autograph. This is her second autograph I got, the first one is way back about 10 years ago with her debut album. It was held in the entrance of Star Hill. I went up stage to sing Rasa Sayang with pantun too.

Penny Tai is still so friendly as when I met her in her first autograph session in KL.

F&N Freestylz Show Ur Moves Final

I got a call from Nic to ask me whether I will be free to go to e@Curve last Sunday for the informal media meet up for the F&N Freestylz Show Ur Moves. Since, I am working night, and the thing is around 4 p.m., so there I was making my way to e@Curve with Joshua. We stay in the same area, walking distance is about 5 minutes.

We arrived and found out that the media meet will only starts around 5 p.m. -_- No problem there because there's a lot of activities going on there.

DJ stands.

Vote for your favourite team and win if they win.

There's also an area for skateboarders to show their stuff.

You can try stick yourself and win prizes.

There are free F&N drinks being given out that day. I myself drank 3 cans of it, burp...

After an hour of going around and shooting pictures, it's time to go to Tony Romas for the media meet. This is the first time I'm going to Tony Romas in Malaysia.



Her Dimpleness was there too.

The purpose of this media meet is to introduce the judges for Show Ur Moves. They are Boojae, Fiona Jane Gomez and Danny One.




Each of the judge explained to the media and press there what's their judging criteria.

We were then shown a short demonstration of B-boy dancing a.k.a. break dance.



After all that, it's time for lucky draw. The prizes that were given away includes 4 dancing F&N can (if it dance you get a chance to win Sony MP4 Player or Sony PSP so that's why it's a prize, if not one will have to try their luck in buying the F&N drink), 2 Sony MP4 Player and a Sony PSP.

This is where I got the Pearl White Sony PSP. Thanks again F&N.

Here a proper picture of the judges.



We were then treated with food prepared by Tony Romas. Sorry, not ribs but got their famous onion rings.

Me and Danny One

Camwhore with Jestina after filling up my stomach with yummy food.

I stayed back for a while to watch the performance of the 10 final teams. I took some videos of their performance but YouTube seems to be giving me problem for uploading the videos. You can read more about the results of the finals here. Will update this page once I am able to upload the videos. ;)

Ogawa Bloggers Gathering

Last week, Nuffnang given me a chance to try out some Ogawa massage chairs and had a great time meeting up with the invited bloggers in Pavilion KL. There were about 50 bloggers having great dinner and playing games in TGIF. Nicole who came all the way from Malacca and stay in a hotel in Sunway doesn't have transport to go to Pavilion. So she called me up and I became her chauffeur.

After a scrumptious dinner in TGIF. We were separated into two groups to takes turn to visit the Ogawa outlet in Pavilion so that we can try out the massage products there.



The first thing that caught my eyes is the Ogawa SmartAire massage chair in front of the shop. It looks very comfortable to sit in. Truth and behold, once I was on it, it is really very comfortable.

Not only that, the Ogawa SmartAire can be tilted to Zero Gravity position which was inspired by Nasa Space shuttle seat. My legs was angled at about 126 degree give or take a few degrees. I felt like I was floating on air literally.

I work as a DBA in IT support line. So, during working days, I'll be sitting in front of the PC for long hours. This give me work injuries like back pain and stiff neck. With this Zero Gravity position and the comprehensive human hand-like massage roller giving my back and neck a good massage, I was in heaven.

According to David the experienced retail executive there. Frequent usage of Ogawa SmartAire in Zero Gravity position can help to correct my spinal alignment which I've misaligned due to bad sitting position in long hours. It also helps to reduce muscle tension, imagine me in the same position for hours, my muscle will be stiffed like hell. Not only that it also contribute to the improvement of blood circulation, some of you will know that a good blood circulation means good health. It can also reduce stress on the heart, stress is a cause for a lot of sickness.

With the unique auto leg extension, this is a suitable chair for tall people like me. I always found conventional massage chair isn't able to fit my whole leg at all. There's also 5 unique massage styles you can choose from, feel like having Swedish? Maybe Shiatsu, Vibration, Pulse-mode or Air Bag. No Thai style because Thai style is about twisting your bones and you don't want a massage chair to do that. The SmartAire comes with 25 air bags to give you a increased massage effectiveness. It doesn't only do massage on your back it also massage your calf and sole. Especially good if you sat or stand for long hours.

Click here for a more interactive look.

It felt so good sitting on the SmartAire that I almost fell asleep but because there's other waiting to try it, so I have to get off the chair before I have chance to take picture of me on it. Sigh.

I always like a good massage to help me relax and get some relief off my back pain and neck shoulder stiffness. I would have bought the Ogawa SmartAire home if I got credit left in my credit card. Ogawa is now having Hari Raya promotion that most of the products is selling at 50% discount.

Later, I was told there's a mother of all massage chair hidden in the corner of the shop, the most expensive massage chair in the outlet. Wei, most expensive wor, of course must go try try la.
Normal price is around RM 27,000. That day, it's selling at a discount price. This is the Ogawa Fujiryoki EC-3000.


Me on Cyber-Relax stage. I didn't even know Wingz was there.

David and I. He's very informative. He already with Ogawa for 5 years.

I also got to try out Ogawa CHI Master which is a foot massager that replicating the massage that you'll get when you are walking on stones path. Not only you'll get a foot massage, your back and waist will get massage too. A simple yet effective product. It's good to have one for you ladies that like to shop for hours wearing high heels. It's good for me too because I like foot massage.


Thomas and I trying out the Ogawa CHI Master.

While PamSong picked the massage chair from the colour. This is Ogawa Sensual.

Looks like she like it very much.

I think the Ogawa SmartAire is by far everyone's favourite due to it's design and air like experience. Look how relax Zac is while having a good massage on it. Don't it makes you want to have one in your living room?



On the side note. PamSong and Jun Jun Riko won themselves each an Ogawa EyeTune eye massager worth about RM 690. We play a game of Taboo 7 among the bloggers for elimination. I came in third. Sigh. Well, all of us got a U-Shape Neck Supporter from Ogawa in the goodies bag. It can vibrate to gives you a simple neck massage. Which is not back at all. Thank you Ogawa. I feel like singing, O....gawa Close To You.

Goodbye 2, Hello 3

It's that date of the year again. This year a bit different because this year there's no more 2 in front, this year taking it's place is 3. Yupe, no more twenty something for me. Still don't know what I am writing about? It's my birthday today!!!!! 17th August.

The good news is that I got an early birthday present yesterday evening thanks to F&N. I won a Sony PSP (Pearl White) from the lucky draw when I was there for the F&N Freestylz "Show Your Move" media session. Thank you F&N, you've made my day during my birthday's eve.

Bad news is I'll have to cover up my face so that it won't show my age lol. Nah, just kidding, I still look twenty something baby.

Since my birthday falls on Monday. So, I will not be having any celebration because I'll be working the graveyard shift kekeke.

I did have a simple dinner with my sister, bro-in-law, and their children last Friday as an early birthday dinner.


My niece Ruth.

My nephew Noah.

My early birthday present.

It's not all that bad actually, my luck seems to be back after a few years of hiatus. Winning 4D, 5D and now a PSP. I hope lady luck will continue to be with me for a longer time kekeke.

Happy Birthday to me! 30 is the new 20 yo!

I Don’t Want to Rest in Pieces like Final Destination

Imagine the Death is just near you and some miracle happens and you were able to cheat Death. Well, when it's time for you to go, you have to go. You can run but you can't hide. Sounds familiar?? Well, if you've watched this, this, and this. You'll know what I am talking about.

The Reaper caught me in the act.

After nine years from the first one, this year in 2009, the 4th installment is year, and according to the poster, Death saved the best...

Oh no, I'm not going to rest in pieces, not me. So, I'm gonna watch The Final Destination: Rest in Pieces and learn how to outsmart Death. No more scythe on my neck yo!

Short Hiatus

Hello boys and girls. I might not be able to update this blog this week because I've suddenly got myself a very long holiday without even planning it. I was not working from last Thursday already and will only starts working next Sunday night :p I'll just be lazing around at home doing a series marathon for Heroes Season 3 and Bones Season 4. I've just finished Supernatural season 3 and 4. There're also some movies like Watchmen, Shopaholic, K-20 and a Cantonese ghost movie.

So until then I'll just post up some pics here that might be a sneak peak of posts that I might write in the near future. My karma surely will drop like hell T_T.

Guess what's this for?

Blackie

Boy

Guess where I went?

FA, an August baby too, like me. :p Pretty hard to bump into her nowadays.

This is picture is not photoshoped.

And the pillow goes to...

Now, where am I here with PPC?

All thanks to Jess.

It's all green but we liked it.
