Nyonya Kerabu Bee Hoon

Today, Aunty (Siew Hong's mum) made Nyonya Kerabu Bee Hoon from sambal belacan, bee hoon, udang kering, taukua goreng, coconut kerisik, prawns, etc. Once again, I was invited to lunch at her house. It was "Simply Delicious", hot, hot, spicy and tasty.

The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince

I have watched many, many Korean Drama series especially those with romantic comedy element. Last night, at almost 1.00am, I have managed to finish "The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince, a 17 episode drama.

The drama synopsis ...

The life of Go Eun Chan (Yoon Eun Hye) is not easy; she works many jobs to pay off debts and even gave up her feminine image. Choi Han Kyul (Gong Yoo) is the heir of a big food company, but his grandmother wants him to settle down, so she arranged many dates for him. After Eun Chan bumped into Han Kyul and was mistaken for a boy, Han Kyul decided to hire Eun Chan to be his gay lover in order to avoid the arranged dates. Desperately in need of money, Eun Chan had no choice but to accept. Han Kyul's grandmother also made Han Kyul in charge of a filthy coffee shop in danger of being bankrupt. Eun Chan begged to work at the coffee shop, and not long after, feelings start to spark, except, how would Han Kyul accept his "homosexuality"?

For those who likes Korean Dramas, I would strongly recommend that you watch this drama ... believe you me, this is one of the best drama that I have ever watched !

The Best Thai Chicken Laksa Lemak

Today, my colleague who is also a friend from The Northam All Suite, Penang, by the name of Ms Ong Siew Hong has kindly invited Michelle Koay and me to her house during lunch hour to savour her Nyonya mum's Homecook Thai Chicken Laksa Lemak. The ingredients are similar to our Penang Asam Laksa except that this Thai Laksa is cooked using chicken meat to substitute for fish. The other extra ingredient used is "Kiam Chye" @ Salted Vegetable which actually made this laksa unique in it's taste.

I must say that this is the best Thai Laksa that I have ever eaten. Yum, yum, it was so delicious that I ended up having two big bowls of it. Ahyo, come to think of it, my Totalife Diet is down the drain today because of my greedy craving for the laksa !

Thank you Siew Hong for the invitation and I look forward to be invited again to sample your mum's Nyonya Lam Mee which I also made to understand that it is her speciality.

Totalife 12th Anniversary Celebration

Saturday, 17 November till Sunday, 18 November 2007, as a qualified DO, I was given a FREE ticket to attend Totalife 12th Anniversary Majestic Celebration at Genting Highlands. A total of 130 of us departed from Penang on Saturday at approximately 7.30am and with 3 stops in between, we have managed to arrive Genting Highlands at 3.00pm to check-in at First World Hotel.


At 6.30pm, we all assembled at Genting International Convention Centre, Grand Ballroom where the Majestic Celebration was held. Many awards and cash bonuses were given out to their Achievers of many different levels. A slimming contest was also held with the contestants who have managed to shed- off 30kgs and above. The main highlight for that evening was a live performance by Elaine Kang who has sung a number of oldies such as River of Babylon, Hero, Celebration and many others.

A trip to Genting Highlands would not be complete without a visit to their casino. I have taken this opportunity to check-out their new slot machines and have heavily invested in their 2 cents machines !!!

We departed for Penang on Sunday at 4.00pm and by the time I arrived back home, it was already 11.30pm. The trip has been an eye-opener for me ... witnessing how much Totalife has helped it's members to lose weight and gained back their curves. I am very convince that I also can have those curves if I controlled my eating habit.

All the Best to Huan Lin

Wednesday, 14 November 2007, my sales team members from The Northam, All Suite and I decided to throw a Farewell Dinner for our colleague, Mr Loo Huan Lin, Sales Coordinator.

Golden BBQ Steamboat Restaurant located at Nagore Road was the chosen venue to celebrate Huan Lin's farewell. The food varieties were great and the price was reasonable i.e. at only RM19.90 nett per person, we had unlimited food from the buffetline.

Here's to Huan Lin, we all wish him all the very best of luck and success in his future undertakings.

Stardust ... The Magical Adventure

Monday, 12 November 2007, I invited Soo Theng and Nanthini to join me for a movie and Soo Theng suggested that we watched "Stardust". Stardust begins in a sleeping English Village of Wall, so named for the cobblestone wall that has, for eons, kept the villagers safely apart from the supernatural parallel universe that lies just on the other side.

A young man named Tristan (Charlie Cox) tries to win the heart of Victoria (Sienna Miller), the beautiful but cold object of his desire, by going on a quest to retrieve a fallen star. His journey takes him to a mysterious and forbidden land beyond the walls of his village. On his odyssey, Tristan finds the star, which has transformed into a striking girl named Yvaine (Claire Danes). However, Tristan is not the only one seeking the star. Lord Stormhold's (Peter O'Toole) three living sons not to mention the ghosts of their four dead brothers all need the star as they vie for the throne. Tristan must also overcome the evil witch, Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer), who needs the star to make her young again. As Tristan battles to survive these threats, encountering a pirate named Captain Shakespeare (Robert De Niro) and a shady trader named Ferdy the Fence (Ricky Gervais) along the way, his quest changes. He must now win the heart of the star for himself as he discovers the meaning of true love ...


All well, ends well, of course, this fairytale ends with both Tristan and Yvaine settling down and they both ruled The Kingdom of Stormhold for 80 years ....

A combination of Grand Adventure, Magical Effects and Romping Sense of Fun ....
