Among the winner, they will always be the unlucky ones. Some tripped, some lost balanced, some even fail down from the pail. The MC voice out that, audience with camera flash might be the reason behind the missed. Thus, he reminded us and the spectators to not flash the performers during the competition, else the Championship will ceased any camera to the field during the competition start from next Championship.
在芸芸赢者中,总会有一些不幸的。有些摔倒,失去平衡,有些甚至从柱子上摔下。主持人告诫观众们不要在比赛照相时开闪光灯,而造成参赛者的失误。如果观众们再用闪光灯,下一届相机不会再被应许入场。

Perfect Romantic Escape: Ysquare's Love Life


This post is dedicated to Resort World Genting for participating Escape Romántico @ Langkawi For Two. I don't always flaunt about my relationship, but when I do, no one knows who is my boy friend is.

To win the 3Days 2Nights complimentary stay at Awana Porto Malai Langkawi and a pair of complementary return flight tickets to Langkawi departing from KL, they asked me to provide a sweet and lovely picture of me and my love.

Easy peasy. We traveled together alot, just a few to flaunt:
 
Our recent trip to Genting, staying in First World Hotel:

Pillow fight!!!
Okay, you don't really need to know who's above and who's below XD

Spend the last 2 Christmas in Melaka, where I am studying.
Behind is the Melaka river.

 
Then the 2 years before the stay in Melaka was Bukit Tinggi.

I don't know why we always arranged vacations on Christmas....

 
And this was dunno when i-City visit.

If you care to clicks the link on every photo, you will realise those blog post were not from me, it's my boy friend's post. He likes to flaunt about our relationship in his blog while all I care is FOOOOOOD~
We have so much different but a lot common hobbies too. Previously, when we were planning this year end's Christmas, both of us wanted to go Japan. We were studying and this is our 1st year working, we might be spend a bit more on yearly travel to exotic places instead of local.

 


Since he is so on yo cosplay, anime especially

 
Yu-Gi-Oh!


and Kamen Riders.

Then he can visit the of the anime land to buy all the collectibles and toys!








As for me, visiting Japan =

all those
so fresh, so original... think a bout it also make me feel "song" ah.

Kaw Kaw Burger [Food Review]

Again!

Remember I blog about this famous/notorious burger not too long ago?
It is famous because it's nice, notorious becuase u have to wait for hours before u get to order and get your order.

Recently, the Kaw Kaw burger stall in Wnagsa Maju has a face-lift. From a cude little hut under the tree to a tidy steal cottage.

The menu has renew as well!
For full size, click HERE
There is still 2 kind of fillings, i.e. fried chicken and beef patty, ranging from single filling to 10 fillings.
Other than simplying choosing Ala Carte of Set, you can now add on such as cheese, cheese + cheesy sauce, cheese + beef bacon, cheese+cheesy suace +bacon.
The price is very well described in the menu above.

As usually, I ordered Ala Carte double chicken burger (front), RM 13 while the boyfy challenge tripple cheezy chicken burger (back), RM 21.90.

When I wanted to take photo of the burger behind, the camera finished the last drip of battery =.=

Overall, the waiting time decrease, the quality decrease as well. My fried chicken was completely  cold. Not that kind of freezing cold, but it's kinda like when you fried ur nuggets too early, it turn out cold when u consumed. Geddit?


Overall: 9.5/10 
Taste bud indulgence: 9.5/10 
Purse Saver: 10/10 [Not the cheapest burger but the most money worth burger around.]
Location: 8/10 
Service: 9/10 [Waited for a long time, but the service is still very friendly]

Kronenbourg 1664 L'Aperitif Fashion at Rootz, Lot 10

Courtesy to Kronenbourg 1664 (Malaysia) for inviting me for the event last night, from the FB competition ^_^


When reach Rootz Club, there are beer girls in Kronenbourg suit are already waiting us.


A photo on the backdrop.
~Hello~
We were here~


One does not simply attend an event w/o having their in-house drink. Tonight will be a Kronenbourg night!

We were a bit late, so when we reached, the Kronenbourg representative is already on the stage giving speech.

The fashion show features 2 young Malaysia fashion designers. Let the picture talks:








During the middle of the show where the models are changing, the MC interview a few guest includes Jeremy from Red fm.



Dato' Jimmy Choo OBE was also given a chance to speak on the event. Too bad, there were not JImmy Choo collection showcase =(

Next round on the fashion run way:










The models.

The models with their respection designers.

In my point of view, the 2 sets of outfit from the 2 designers are very corky and distinctly different. Every little details fill with they own style. It's an eyes opening experience.

An event wouldn't be complete w/o a group pics of the VIPs.


Lst but not least, thanks to Kronenbourg for a fabulous night!
