Lifestyle: Millionaire With Rupiah?

Hey Guys,

Yahoooo! This time around ME & Kimmy had decided since last year December to go travel. We have selected March as our travel month this year and we have decided to go travel to Bali, Indonesia. Of course, before we go travel, we need to check out the currency of differenct countries on what currency they are using.

Today I took RM500 to change for Indonesia Rupiah and I got IDR 1,320,000. I was like WOW! I can feel that I am the millionaire now and how nice if it's an Malaysian Ringgit. Haha! There are several Rupiah notes that you will be given at the money changer counter. What I've got is IDR 100,000, IDR 5000 and IDR 2000. Just an advice from me and my friends who told me this fact. Before you go travel, do change the currency at Malaysia first before go travel because some countries like Indonesia is not honest with their exchange and normally they will trick the tourists. Furthermore, you can change more here in Malaysia rather than you change in your vacation country. Enjoy Your Holiday! :)

Lifestyle: Polis Diraja Malaysia Summons

Hi All,

It was an unlucky Monday 22nd February 2010 for me. Futhermore in a sunny morning where I woke up pretty late and I did rush to work. I forgot to bring 2 things so I stepped into my house again twice to take those things. I had a feeling today something might happened to me. Maybe it's just a coinsidence and in the meantime, when I turned on my favourite radio station OneFM, I heard a topic called "What would you do on your first day of work after coming back from Chinese New Year holidays?" I was thinking for myself perhaps, I will be standing by at my client's place in Shah Alam and I would actually turn on my PC to kick start to my work.

But everything turned ugly when I was driving to my client's place in Shah Alam. I was caught on the act by a traffic police for making a turn at the No Entry signboard near Persiaran Kuala Selangor (next to Petronas station). Wow! It was so damn unlucky as well as 4-5 cards, who had the same faith as me. Normally the road is free flow whereby many cars did that but not for me. I was so sad because normally I won't use the road but I don't know why that day I would use it. It's like a trapped that wanting me to continue my bad luck. Perhaps, overall I have to admit that it's my mistake that I turn in a No Entry sign. I had abide the law too but I just wondering why that day there is traffic police there were normally it does not.

I tried to ask the police for help but no avail. The traffic police is very strict and asked me to pay at the summons counter. So, I went to the Petaling Jaya police station to pay for my summons. I taught it would be RM50 or more and in fact the police counter only charge me RM50. For me, I think this is a standard charge and I am willing to pay. The reason I pay so early is to chase my SUEY (bad) luck away and hopefully it will never come again. My advise to all of you is abide the law and if you wanted to make some illegal road turning or whatsoever, please keep an eye on the road especially the traffic police is available or not especially during the festive season. Good Luck on the road! :)

______________________________________________________

My Comments: I was in 1 Utama today and it seems the shopping mall was very less in crowd. It was pretty quiet today since it's a Sunday. Maybe because many people haven't back from hometown or many people were in midst of preparation of the Hokkien New Year tonight. So, I've decided to watch Little Big Soldier with Kimmy today. We bought the 4.00pm show and the cinema was not full either. This movie was talking about the ancient times about those China's Dynasty as Jackie Chan and Wang Lee Hom acted in this movie. It was a rather pretty dissapointing storyline as it was not entertaining as expected. The jokes meanwhile were too lame and not impress at all. But I still love the acting of Jackie Chan and Wang Lee Hom because they really acted tirelessly on the movie. Overall, I did not find any good point on this movie that impress me but some martial arts was just nice and that did some limelight on this movie. If you would like to watch this movie, you may go to watch it but just to let you know that it was pretty bored and dissapointing as it was not typed of the movie I like. MY RATING: 2.5 / 5 ; KIMMY RATING: 4/5

My Comments: Today is Saturday and I stayed at home to watch this movie via DVD before heading my journey back to Kuala Lumpur. I have chosen to watch this movie to relax myself after enjoying myself last night. This movie is truly a great movie to watch by people of all walks of life for the Chinese community. Besides, not only the Chinese community but other races and watch this movie too to know what is happening on the China's history in the past 1905. It combines love, action and also sad / murder scenes which makes this movie a total blockbuster and a hit among the Chinese community. I was so excited to know what is happening and as I go through the movie, I am so sad and almost in tears because of some scenes which features some brutal murder and how the people sacrifices to the country. It was an awesome movie and thanks to Director Teddy Chen, this movie promises it's audiences the best ever movies ever made for the year 2009 so far. If you have watched it, you will gave the same comments as me I believe and for those who haven't watch it, don't miss a chance and get yourself a DVD discs near you. MY RATING: 5/5

DVD Movie: Aliens In The Attic (2009)

Release Date:13 August 2009

Language: English

Running Time: 1 hour 26 minutes

Director: John Schultz

Cast: Carter Jenkins, Ashley Tisdale, Austin Butler, Ashley Boettcher, Henri & Regan Young, Robert Hoffman, Doris Roberts, Andy Richter.

Synopsis:

ALIENS IN THE ATTIC, co-scripted by one of the writers of Madagascar and the Academy Award-winning Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbits, is an adventure/comedy about kids on a family vacation who must fight off an attack by knee-high alien invaders with world-destroying ambitions—while the youngsters' parents remain clueless about the battle. __________________________________________________________

My Comments: I was watching DVD at home and I found out this movie Aliens In The Attic. It looks impressive to me but when I watched it until the end, it doesn't meet up to my expectations. This movie also could be labelled as a kids or a family movie as well. The focus on this movie is all about the children who will be fighting for the alien who came here for a plan of invasion. But speaking for alien invasion, I could not believe only 4 of the aliens who came here for the invasion and not many. It was definately not a blockbuster movie as it should be more aliens to invade on earth and not just a couple of them. The storyline meanwhile was just fine and a hand of applause for the kids as they had performed well throughout this movie. If you are bored, perhaps you can try watching it but don't carry too much expectation on this movie as this was one of the worst aliens movie that I've watched ever. MY RATING: 3.5 / 5

________________________________________________________

My Comments: I was watching this DVD at home and found out that this movie is nice and funny though. Although the storyline is pretty simple and there were not much adventure being seen on this movie as well. But still, if you like the combination between jokes and of course adventure, then you might wanna see this movie. It was a fun family movie and if you have the time, why not go and watch it? It was pretty emotional too at times but at a very limited scenes. Will Ferrell's the man to watch on this movie with his jokes and this attitude on this movie. Overall, nice family comedy adventure movie to watch but not at a high expectation. MY RATING: 3.5 / 5

Food Hunt: Foh San Dim Sum (富山茶楼), Ipoh

Good morning folks!

It's time for yet another food hunt and this time we are out there to enjoy the most delicious Dim Sum in the town of Ipoh. I guess everyone would know what is the Dim Sum restaurant as it was very popular among the people who came from all walks of life in Malaysia. Those who come to Ipoh must try out Foh San Dim Sum as it was among the best in Ipoh and in the country. Even as early as 5.00am in the morning, the place was already started to get crowded especially during the weekends or holidays. We arrived in Foh San around 8.30am in the morning and the crowd were already jamming in the restaurant. Luckily for us as we managed to find a place to sit as my parents know a friend who are willing to let us sit on the table. The place is very crowded and unorganize as well because while you are eating, those customer who are waiting to get a seat will stand beside you while waiting for you to finish eating. In my opinion, it was very rude like that as the system is not efficient at all. They should have a waiting list or a number list to control the crowd.







Once we sat down, we immedietely go and look for our Dim Sum. This time around, we have to self service because the food were unable to reach us as the place is too crowded and the trolley were unable to go through to serve the customers. We have taken a lot of Dim Sum such as 'Char Siew Pau', 'Yee Mai', 'Siew Mai', 'Har Kau' and many other Dim Sum (see pictures). Frankly speaking, it had been ages for me since I eat Foh San Dim Sum because normally the place is crowded and I don't like crowded places because it's difficult to find a place. Only today because my relatives would like to try out this Dim Sum place. Overall, the Dim Sum is superbly nice and very recommended to all of you. The Dim Sum is rich in taste and you would love it from the start till the end. A good place to be and if possible, try to go during normal days where you can enjoy longer time consuming your Dim Sum as it was not so crowded compared during holidays. A good Dim Sum place in Ipoh? Think Foh San! :) MY RATING: 5/5

Gathering & Food: Pusing Public Seafood Restaurant, Ipoh (民眾酒家)

Hello folks,

Welcome back again to yet another edition of the gathering & food in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations. Today is the third day of Chinese New Year and I've reunion with my mom's side relatives and we absolutely had a nice time there enjoying our food. We have to be there as early as 5.45pm because we had booked a table at 6.00pm evening. Once we got seated, the waiter immedietely served us with the food package that we've ordered.



The food overall was totally nice and delicious. We ordered about 7 dishes + 1 extra dish. Yee Sang is our first dish followed by Shark Fin Soup, whole pig skin, cod fish, prawn, mushroom & vegetables as well as a plate of fried mee. We are also afraid that it was not enough for us, so we ordered an additional dish which is the 'loh mai' (glutinous) rice. I love the Yee Sang and the whole pig skin as it was very delicious. Among all the dishes, I totally hate the fried mee because it was very smelly with the mee's flavour taste ('kan sui') and I tell you that nobody would finish up that plate and it left a lot before we left. (see pictures). *Note: pictures of yee sang with abalone is only for own add-ons only. Original yee sang does not comes with abalone :)


The price meanwhile is not so expensive. The portion overall dishes is very big and it's value for money. I believe you won't get it in Kuala Lumpur as well. We overestimate the dishes as we taught that it would not be enough for us to consume so we've ordered extra dish but eventually it was totally enough for 13 of us (including some childen too). It was a super large portion and enough for all of ud to consume. The price is RM710.00 (including tax) and the orginal package we took is RM618.00 + the glutinous rice which costs about RM40.00. Overall, it was well worth it because the food is totally nice. Besides the Tuck Kee that I went yesterday, this restaurant Pusing Public Seafood Restaurant in Ipoh Town also serves nice, delicious and quality food with money worth guarantee. A must go restaurant! Totally Recommended! :) MY RATING: 5/5
