Coca-Cola Collector's Fair 2012

Have you been to the Coca-Cola Collector's Fair 2012 happening once a year at Publika last Saturday (10.11.12)?

I have a friend who loves Coke a lot that she even named herself as Cola and since I haven't been seeing them for months, they asked me to lunch with them before we head over to check out the fair.

Upon arrival at Publika, suddenly it hits me that my colleague is a super Coca-Cola fan and I was told that he was the president of Coca-Cola Malaysian club and true enough, I saw him there - with the brightest smile I've ever seen throughout my 1 year of working with him in the same company hahahaha...

I commented that he looked very hyped and jovial and he simply replied, "I'm doing something that I really enjoy doing today". I guess his manager won't be pleased to hear that....

Cola fascinated by the variety of Coca-Cola collections on that day.

They took 6 months to plan for this fair and they even managed to secure some sponsorships from Coca-Cola company such as the unlimited flow of Coke on that day, backdrops, etc.

So you may ask - What is this fair all about?

This Collector's Fair was a chance for the Malaysian Coke lovers/fans to showcase their collections (only) or even selling them there on that day! My colleague, for instance, only wants to showcase his collections wtf.

We were obviously fascinated by all the limited edition collections, merchandises, or almost everything that were displayed on that day :D

Siok Yim, Cola and myself.

Each of us grabbed a can of the free flow Coke before leaving the place :) Thank you F&N for the free drinks! Heheee...

I bought the mini Cola-Cola 4GB thumb drive for RM20! 

And absolutely loving it! <3 p="p">

They will be heading the Penang next year so Penangites, take note!!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! ;)

Sin Kok Thye, Port Klang

On a very rare Saturday morning, my whole family (dad pre-booked us a day before) took a trip down to Port Klang which took us almost an hour due to the jam at Bukit Raja just to try out this place recommended by my dad.

If you follow my Twitter or Facebook, you'd realise that I actually travel to Klang often for food - which doesn't make sense since I live in PJ and that's quite a distance to travel. Well, reason being my dad works in Klang hence he always wanted us to try out the few places that he likes :) 

Sin Kok Thye is a Hainanese coffee shop that has been around for many, many years and recently was featured in the newspaper! Located at the row of double-storey shophouses right before the port, facing the flyover (that was barely inches away from the 2nd floor!), the shops around are old and deserted - a place you'd never imagine that good food exists.

 Limited seating inside the coffee shop.

If you ask me, I have a thing for old style kopitiam where food and drinks are still being prepared the traditional way. It's either because I have the Hainanese blood in me or perhaps my grandpa used to run this old school kopitiam at Seremban with his friends and that's where I always lepak after school *nostalgic*

On a Saturday afternoon (close on Sunday by the way), the place was packed to the brim before we could get a table and while waiting for our food to be served, I was checking the place out before realizing that...


...we have Chinese, Malays and Indians eating together under the same roof! Isn't that awesome?? :D

 A good cup of hot coffee to kick start my day.

The rest ordered Kopi ping (iced coffee for that matter) while I opted for the hot because I believe that in order to determine if a coffee is good or not, it should be served hot. Although the coffee wasn't as "kaw" as what I could find at the kopitiam in KL/PJ, it is fragrant with generous condensed milk at the bottom so I'm glad that I actually ordered it in hot :) It will go very well with some kaya and butter toast I swear!

Hainanese Chicken Chop in tomato sauce (RM7.50)

Dad loves their chicken chop and highly recommended this but after surveying online, I got to know that they also serve Hainanese Fish Chop and Lamb Chop in black pepper sauce too!

Now down to the taste - I can't help but to rave about the potatoes! I don't know if it's pan fried or roasted but it's freaking nice and soft! The chicken chop might seems to be "swimming" in sauce and doesn't look appetizing at first glance but rest assured that the sauce complements the chicken well and we managed to clear the plate up within minutes!

Plain toast.

In order not to waste the generous amount of sauce given, dad ordered a plate of plain toast for us to dip into the sauce ala the typical Hainanese way hahahaha... Hainanese likes to eat bread ok! 

Hailam meehoon. 

Dad also ordered Hailam meehoon for us to try and honestly, nothing to shout about. According to dad, their Hailam mee isn't tasty at all (also because I don't take yellow noodles) and he thinks meehoon was considered as "okay" for us to eat.

Wah, if this is merely "okay", I cannot imagine how the noodles will taste like!!!

Fried keow teow.

Not sure if it's called Hailam fried keow teow or not but at least this is better than the meehoon! I find it quite nice actually :)

All in all, I find the food here satisfying with authentic Hainanese taste so I really wouldn't mind traveling back here again for the chicken chop (ohhh the potatoessss!), bread and coffee provided I'm not the one driving.


Check this place out if you happen to be nearby or before going in to Pulau Ketam wtf.


Sin Kok Thye Coffee Shop (pork free)
23, Jalan Kem,
Port Klang, Selangor
Opens from 6.30am to 6pm
Closed on Sundays.

To get there, if the port is right in front of you and you see the flyover built very closely to the row of old shophouses, take a left turn and you should be able to see Sin Kok Thye on your left. It's also facing the old Chinese temple across the road. 

Happy nomming!

Dreamz Bakery, The Strand Kota Damansara

Since I've been busy lately with my events and projects, the girls suggested to have a whole day outing since we hadn't met for quite some time and it happened right the day after my event (they don't even give me a chance to sleep!).

The day was planned out as such - brunch at Kota Damansara, boutique shopping, karaoke at Loudspeaker, high tea at Dreamz Bakery, dinner at Paramount and pasar malam. Yes, 3 mid-20s ladies behaving like we have the stamina of young teenagers LOL.

Accidentally snapped this while using front camera as mirror LOL!

I was really happy to find out about this quaint little place recommended by Florence because I absolutely love everything about Dreamz Bakery from the interior to the friendly staff to their yummy mille crepes!

We arrived pretty late at about 5.35pm and the place was half full and we were left with few selections of mille crepes only.

They usually have 9 varieties for you to choose from.

Macarons @ RM3.80/pc with 6 flavours to choose from.

A variety of cookies, candies and handmade accessories for sale. 

Absolutely love this corner!!

How adorable!

Can you see that wall with many brown papers pasted on? You're allowed to paste your little note there! So cute!!!

If you don't like the idea of sitting on the floor, you have a second option.

High stool seating.

We were left without a choice (again!) but to go for high stool seating as the other section was fully occupied and was rather noisy.

Love the little touch on each table by the owner :)

Since they don't serve or deliver the cakes, you have to place your order, make payment at the counter and collect your orders from there as well, hence we kept seeing people walking up and down to check on their orders. Not very sure if this applies to main courses or not though.

Vanilla (RM9.50) and Tiramisu (RM9.80)  mille crepes/layer cakes.

Behind the scene hahahaha

In my honest opinion about the crepes, I liked it. Yes, it's not comparable to Nadeje in Malacca but this is decent and surpassed my expectation (after trying Opera, Food Foundry, etc) so I'm happy with what I had there. Another recommended one is Humble Beginning!

If you like milky taste, you'll like the vanilla flavour although I find it a bit too sweet for my liking so I find myself enjoying the tiramisu one a lot ;) After browsing through the net by other bloggers, apparently their rum and raisin flavour is recommended by many! I want to go back there for it nowwww!

With Teng who's going to be a boss soon! Congrats!

With Florence who recommended this place to us :)

Seeing the photos with both of them, I realized that time really flies and how much our life has changed throughout the years. To 14 years of friendship and thank you for being there for me through thick and thin!!!

It is not easy to spot their cafe since it's located upstairs so be sure to bring your GPS along LOL.

Dreamz Bakery

Media Prima Raya Open House 2012

Since now is still Raya, I thought this entry should cut queue to be posted up first!

Media Prima had this Raya Open House last Thursday at Sime Darby Convention Centre. As usual, my company will be invited and at first I thought of giving this a pass due to my heavy workload lately but after much persuasion from my colleagues, I decided to join in the fun with them :)


We were supposed to leave the office early at 4.30pm but since everyone was very busy with work, we left at about 5.10pm (with me leading the way to SBCC) and the jam was already bad :( And I was running low on petrol =x

However, luck was on my side because I found a parking by the roadside the moment I arrive! :D


Once I was joined by the rest of my colleagues, we took a group photo and were led into the hall by the exec who handles our account and man, it's freaking packed!

Look at the crowd!

The standard Raya performances throughout the evening

My colleagues asked if I've spotted any hunks that night and we all agreed that even if there is, we couldn't tell if they are Malay or Chinese as most people were in traditional Malay costumes. But I spotted handsome Malays that night! :D

Servings for 4 girls

Yes I'm not kidding. We were famished so we immediately went to grab some food and came back with these hahahaha

And oh yes, we managed to finish it all.

The beautiful Kenix and Amanda

Soo Yin, myself, Jolyn and Karen

Our 3 beautiful Management Trainees ^^

The ever sexy and funny SS, Kenix and banana hahahaha

Our company's A&P team!

After a hearty meal, I demanded everyone to have a photo taken with "our" newspaper front page cutout.

Look ma! I'm on Berita Harian front page hahahahaha

Here's the page. 

And I looked like I'm about to give birth FML.

The baju kurung gang

The representatives from my company :) 

Dodol as door gift

Apparently many local celebrities came but I can't identify any of them. I have to admit that I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to our local celebrities so who knows a celebrity actually stood beside me while ordering our rojak and I didn't know wtf. Overall it was quite a fun event even though it was very packed and we weren't being attended as much as I would have expected but at least the yummy food make up to it. WE ARE ALL A GLUTTON! :p


Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

My Instant Hair Savior!

Happy Merdeka Day everyone!

Feeling totally awesome today, I would like to share with you guys my current favourite and can't-live-without product. Alright, not only I can't live without this but most of my colleagues in the office as well!


Being a girl is not easy. What's more if you're a girl with long hair! It takes us a lot of time to wash and blow dry our hair so became a chore. Don't get me wrong. I wash my hair everyday but at times my fringe tends to get a little greasy after a stressful day at work (or thanks to my t-zone) and very often I have dinners or outings after work.


AND HERE COMES MY SAVIOR!

This shampoo instantly "washes" my hair without water within a few seconds!! It also helps to give a little volume to hair too! Check out my fringe below!

Before & after. Isn't that amazinggggg?!?!

All I have to do is to shake the bottle well, hold it about 10cm away and spray! Leave it on for a while and lightly dust off the tiny excess powders will do! There! Instantly clean and fresh hair that feels like you've just washed it! Oh, not to forget the nice fresh scent too!

Now I don't have to rush home to wash my hair before an outing or I don't have to worry when I'm on confinement in future wtf.

Events Attended for the First Half of the Year!

Finally an update after 5 months of hiatus!

If I have to provide a good reason for the lack of update, I would say that my life is far more exciting than staying behind the keyboard :p Life has been treating me well with many events and outings that I'm unable to blog them all!


So many places, food and activities that I want to share with you guys but I've been really, really busy with work as well as personal life but starting from today, I promise that I'll try my very best to update whenever I could without compromising on the quality of each post/review.

Here's a quick update on the events I've been to lately before I hit the sack.


CLEO 50 Most Eligible Bachelors 2012

Invitation card and goodie bag (not impressed at all with their goodie bag!).

Was invited to the event above as a VIP. Yes, please be very jealous.

Dress Code: Sexy Sporty

Seriously, I felt damn cheated by the dress code because I was being silly to have faith in Malaysians to dress up according to the theme and ended up looking like a joker because everyone else dressed to the nines!

Next time anyhow also wear prettily to parties!! Screw the dress code!!!

Accompanied to the event by my 2 beautiful colleagues ^^

The 3 of us kept whacking on the finger food because we went there without dinner and we were famished! We felt so embarrassed because the rest of the people were so "atas" and they weren't eating at all hahahaha

I don't pretend where ever I'm at. I'm hungry, I eat.


Krabi Trip 2012

I went on this pretty last minute trip with friends to Krabi and I thought of blogging about it since the photos taken were quite pretty (if I may say so myself :p) but since it has passed for a couple of months, I'm not sure if you guys are interested to read or not.


Probably I will because I realised that all my popular entries read are my travelogue and food review :)

Nick, Kei, Cax and Jac.

He's not my bf wtf I'm still not off the market. This photo's up because I think I looked quite "chic" here hahahaha

Had quite an enjoyable time in Krabi despite the place didn't live up to my expectation. I love the sea and white sandy beaches in general so I'm not going to complain ;)

Eat and drink the way the locals did.

Ohya! Because we were so bored there, we actually went fishing omg! My first fishing experience and I caught the BIGGEST fish that day! :D

I was hiding behind that man because... because... I was afraid of live fishes FML.

The other 3 can't stop laughing at me for this because they can't believe a tough looking girl like me are afraid of small thing like this T_T

Will blog about Krabi after sorting out the hundreds of photos taken!

Jay Park Showcase in Malaysia 2012

Please be jealous again.

I got free tickets to Jay Park's showcase so I dragged my guy friend along who's into K-pop and we enjoyed ourselves although it was a short one (about 1 hour?).

All I can say is, Jay Park is pretty cute and shy in real life! ;)


Southern Visit

Due to work request, my colleague and I went down to Johor Bahru (my first time despite being a Malaysian!!!) and Malacca for a couple of days. It was an enjoyable trip despite working from day to night and it's fun to be treated like a VIP too :p

I must admit that there's nothing much we can do in JB and the malls are pretty rundown. I'm not saying this because I'm a PJ girl and I'm comparing the malls here with JB but I'm saying this in a general point of view.


My stay in Malacca was brief but fun! The local rep brought me around while my colleague provides training to our BAs and we had eally good local food - not those commercialized places with long queues that you usually see!

Would love to pay Malacca a visit again soon!


Steamboat Party

The glorious food for more than 20 pax hand washed and prepared by me alone in the kitchen after work. Hard work ok!

Ever since we had this mini primary school gathering last December, we have been pretty close to each other and we kept organizing yamcha and dinners together. A couple of months back my friend offered her bf's party house for us to throw a steamboat party, gambling and drinking.

We even went for a night swim at the pool and the guys pushed me into the pool when I was caught off guard! Forever I'll remember that moment wtf.

Despite being bullied by you guys most of the time, I still love all of you nonetheless! 

The people above are about half of those who came that day and whom I'm close to. The rest I don't bother lah! LOL!


Guardian Annual Dinner

Theme: A Touch of Orange

I know it's not peach and not orange. I don't care because I don't want to look like an orange walking around! I'm already very round wtf.

I still can't believe I was chosen to represent my brand and company with other managers!

The representatives from my company with the Guardian peeps!

My ranking's the lowest some more! Intimidated T_T


Guardian Customers' Choice Award

About a month of 2 after their annual dinner, here comes their CCA and I'm chosen to go again.

Door gift.

Guardian worked with Evian to come out with this limited edition Evian bottle. I gave it to my friend who collects Evian bottles and she's damn happy! :D

With my beautiful colleague in front of the backdrop.

HOT Magazine 200th Issue Party

The dress that got praised upon arrival. Dress got praised. Not the owner.

Event was held at Stage, K.L. and it was my first time in Stage! Quite a nice club I must say!

Overall, the event was quite fun with many local celebrities who came to support like Amber Chia, Chelsia, Liang, Kenny Sia, etc. Goodie bag given was okay - at least better than CLEO's hahahaha :p

Chilling out at Jalan Changkat.

Since the night was still young when the event ended so I brought Kenix to Jalan Changkat for a drink and people watching! Banyak angmoh hehehehe


Beauty Workshop

My very cute and funny colleague.

My brand just had an event/workshop last month and I have to admit that this event was a last minute request from my manager and it gave me sleepless nights prior to the event day. Everyday worry about the recruitment, F&B, decorations, etc.

I'm in-charged of everything about the event from A-Z!!!

I was the emcee on that day.

 I also have to do presentation and product hands on.

"Great news" was, I woke up with a fever, flu and cough and up until today, I'm still amazed at how I managed to pull through the whole event from morning till late evening under such condition.


All in all, I gained even more valuable experience through this event and I'm so glad that all participants who signed up earlier actually turned up - making this event a successful one.

Management team.

I'd also like to give a big thank you to my team who helped me through this with your unconditional support and encouragement.

Apparently after this event, we'll be having even MORE events coming up FML. Moreeee stressful days coming up! T_T
