It's Been A Fabulous 4 Years!

Never had I known that blogging will this much fun and got me good things in terms of monetary value and non-monetary value. I've started blogging in this space "Simon Says" actively on 27th Dec 2007. It has just past four years for this humble blog of mine.

This year started off good with me chosen to be one of the Maxis10 Reviewers Programme to review Nokia E7 back in March. The best part is I get to keep the phone and I've been using it ever since. During the year, I met a lot more bloggers bringing up my Facebook friends to 1186 and my Twitter followers to 627. I also started Facebook Page for this blog, since many bloggers already started one =P Now go like my page.

I've also been invited to loads of parties and events, especially beer events. Of course there are some food review in between. I of course shifted to work in Cyber Jaya early of this year and then shifted back to work in Damansara Heights in a new company end of this year. Wow, talk about change. During these 4 years of blogging, I went to Nuffnang Asia Pacific Blog Awards 2009 and 2011 (I haven't blog about it yet "-_-). Both were great success and it meant a lot to the bloggers. Thank you Nuffnang.

As of the norm, on every blog anniversary I'll change my blog header and background colour. I'm not good in designing so I don't restructure my whole layout. This is the previous blog header.

2011

2010

For 2008 and 2009 I only use text as the header so there's no previous header for both years.

And this is my current blog header.

It's been a fabulous 4 years. Thank you for your support. Happy Birthday! Simon Says.

Asahi Super "Dry" - Shift your Senses

I went to Double Tree again for another beer event.

This time is for a Japanese Premium beer. Asahi Super "Dry". The good news is that Carlsberg got the rights to brew the beer here in Malaysia in their brewery. So, we get the freshest Asahi Super "Dry" in ASEAN!

Asahi on a tap baby! Previously we can only get it in can and all the way from Japan. Now the beer only has to travel from Shah Alam. Fresh! The taste of it? Well, it's easy drinking without the bitterness and the after taste just a tiny bit of bitterness that one will be hard to notice.

It goes very well with tempura and calamari. So, if you are having Japanese food, try a glass of Asahi Super "Dry" draught and see the difference.

Oh, nearly forgot pics with pretty girls.

He Says, She Says - Let's Talk About Ideal Sex

I was invited to a talk organized by Pfizer and the topic is a bit taboo among us Asians. It's about how to be sexually satisfied for a couple, hence the title, "He Says, She Says - Let's Talk About Ideal Sex".

"According to the Pfizer’s Ideal Sex Survey 2011, Asian couples agreed overwhelmingly that quality of erection hardness and the ability to maintain an erection are the most important criteria in achieving an ideal sexual experience.

For the uninitiated, there is actually a measurement standard for erection hardness – the Erection Hardness Scale (EHS).

Since erection hardness is a fundamental component of erectile function, the availability of a simple parameter to measure erection hardness may prove useful in diagnosing the presence and severity of ED. The EHS is used to measure erection hardness during sexual intercourse. Grade 4 is the optimal erection hardness and it gives greater sexual satisfaction for both patients and partners. Doctors do use this tool for monitoring treatment outcomes. "

Prof. Dr. Ong Teng Aik and Prof. Dr. Low Wah Yun given their professional opinions.

Why some man cannot reach the optimum hardness? According to said Prof. Dr. Low Wah Yun, who is a professor of psychology at the Faculty of Medicine, University Malaya and with Prof. Dr. Ong Teng Aik, Associate Professor and Consultant Urologist with University Malaya Medical Centre, it is mostly because the man is not in good health rather than psychological factor. So, guys, if you can't get hard enough, it's time to consult the doctor because your "little brother" is telling you that you might have hypertension, high cholesterol, heart problem or any other lifestyle illness.

Besides the two profs, newly wed couple, Bangsar Babe and her hubby, Wei Jien were invited to gives their point of views from a normal couple side. What they emphasized is that communication between them is very important to find out what each other thinks is an ideal sex.

Also, guys, pre-mature ejaculation according to Dr. Ong is if one ejaculate in less than 30 seconds after penetration. He said, most men at most last about 5 minutes. So don't worry if you find yourself ejaculated after 4 or 5 minutes =P If you don't believe, then set your phone to a stop watch function and see how long you can last lol.

Hm...it's time for me to hit the gym then, high blood pressure and high cholesterol is sure not something to take into lightly because er... it might affect my hardness. =P

UFO 飞碟 Desserts and Drinks, SS2, Petaling Jaya

Taiwanese desserts, bubble teas and snacks seems to be making a come back recently to Malaysia especially with so many franchise mushrooming out of no where. Two weeks back I tagged along Henry for a food review at UFO 飞碟 Desserts and Drinks, SS2, Petaling Jaya after we had tasted some Gelato on stick. This review is organized by Jane and coordinated by Benjamin. Thank you guys!

Here at UFO, one can try out all three Taiwanese specialties. Soya Ice, fried snacks and bubble tea! One place to have them all. I started with soya ice series and Benjamin ordered some snacks for us all.

As the norm of Taiwanese concept store nowadays you can customize your dessert. Mix and match the sides, choose your level of sweetness and ice. I didn't notice that so my bowl of soya ice series is a bit too sweet for me.

While the ice series here is just okay only, the fried snacks are the hidden gem here. Fried till the right timing with the outside still crispy and tender soft inside. The batter is nicely seasoned too. Once you start, it's hard to stop.

Lots of choice to choose from.

Ended my feast with a cup of Sour Plum Tea. I still prefer Roasted Milk Tea.

If you want to try all three different Taiwanese sensation in one go, then UFO is your choice.

By the way, their ordering notifier is imported from Korea.

Malaysian Girls - How Ugly Can It Get?

No, it's not Malaysian Dreamgirls Season 3! Malaysian Girls is a local musical about a local beauty pageant and the stories behind it. With a cast of almost an all girl cast with 2 and a half men (you'll know what I meant if you watch the musical). Produced by Dato' Faridah Merican and directed and original concept by Joe Hasham. Both the co-founder of Malaysia's popular performance arts studio, The Actors Studio Malaysia and also The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac). The last musical that I watched with them on the helm is Ismail the Last Day. OMG, that was three years ago.

Once again I've come to KLPAC to get in touch with my inner artistic self. Thanks to Richard for passing me the ticket because he can't make it. Of course have to thank Serge for organizing this for us bloggers.

I don't want to spoiled too much of the fun by going too detail into the story. Simply put it, the songs are quite good and some good singers there. Some of the scene are very funny with some quite original jokes that is quite related to our daily life. So, it's like laughing at our self.

Some of the bloggers there said that I look like one of the character in Malaysian Girl. Gucci Lim (Freddy Tan). He's one of the standout character in the musical. He got one solo part where he rap in Cantonese with a bit of profanity too.

Another likeable character is Miss Klang, Daphne Wong (Amanda Ang). At first I really thought that Cantonese is Amanda's mother tongue but when I met her after the musical only then I know she doesn't speak one bit of Cantonese. Good job there Amanda ;) But it will be more politically correct if she's Miss Ipoh instead because the staple dialect in Klang is Hokkien, not Cantonese. Just my humble opinion =P

Anrie Too as Miss Sungai Way, Lin Lin, one of the most promising contestant to win Malaysian Girls but she has a hidden secret. What is the secret? Go watch it and find out lah.

The lead male performer is Aanantha as Ray Sanjay who took over the Malaysian Girls pageant from his deceased brother that he had never talk to for many many years.

Serenity Billion is the partner and trainer of Malaysian Girls pageant. See her rivalry with Ray Sanjay at first and then... Tabitha Kong did a marvelous job in portraying Serenity. She balanced her singing and acting quite well.

The character that most of the audience like (IMHO) will be the bithcy Jasmin Hibiscus (Siti Farrah Abdullah). She's really into her character that even after the show, she's still talked like she's Jasmin Hibiscus. Or maybe that's just her true character =P Job well done there, Siti.


There are variety of songs sang in Malaysian Girls. Malay, English, Chinese and Indian. So 1 Malaysia man. In the end, what I got from the story is that, we should be proud of who we are and don't have to pretend to be someone else that is not our true self.

Bloggers with Tabitha Kong.

Amanda Ang and I.

If you want to catch Malaysian Girls a fun, simple and entertaining local musical, which is showing now until 30th December in KLPAC, Sentul then go on and your tickets and show schedule from klpac.com or visit Malaysian Girls Facebook Page for more juicy story. Also, next year January, Malaysian Girls will make a tour to Penang. More details here.

Stickhouse, Sunway Pyramid

Yo, yo, yo. Ice-cream in the house. Stickhouse that is. More precisely, Italian Hand crafted Gelato on a stick. Now that's a first. Usually the gelato I ate is scooped then put in a cup or a cone. Stickhouse Gelatos are made with 100% natural and genuine ingredients without the added falvouring, preservatives and colouring. Fresh fruit, milk and cream together with the "Stickhouse Bases" and the decorations, guarantee a healthy, full-bodied product with a persistent taste.

The tasting started already when I reached. I was 15 minutes late. Started with fruit sorbets, Grape, Pineapple and Blueberry? Can really taste the fruit and there's still pulps in the ice-cream.

My favourite is definitely the Hazelnut. You can opt to dip it in dark, milk or white chocolate and nuts of your choice. The chocolate gelato is very rich, I might advise not to dip it in chocolate or the chocolaty taste might be too overwhelming.

Watermelon is very refreshing, lemon is for those that like sourish thingy (once I took a bite, it reminds me of the sour candy back in those high school days).

There are many more flavours to choose from. The last whole stick that I ate is Green Tea. While it's not as rich in tea as I wish it to be, still a nice stick of ice-cream for a hot sunny day.

The ice-creams were freshly made daily.

Choose your dippings and toppings.

Pricing starting from RM 4.90 for a mini, RM 6.90 for classic and RM 8.90 for premium.

Add on dark, milk or white dippings and hazelnut, almond, pistachio toppings. RM 1 for half and RM 2 for full.

This is what a half milk chocolate dipping with pistachio grain green tea Stickhouse Gelato looks like. Cost about RM 9.90.

New batch of Stickhouse ice-cream in the making.

Feel like having something cool to eat in this hot weather while shopping? Then Stickhouse is there for you. Find out more about Stickhouse here. Since today is a public holiday in Selangor, why not drop by to one of the Stickhouse outlet and try it for yourself. ;)
