Westwood Continental Cuisine

Posted on By sweet surrender 10 Comments on Westwood Continental Cuisine

Went to Westwood last week. Thought of going to Shiloh but they’re not opened. Can’t decide where and ended up at Westwood. Westwood is located at… I don’t know the road name πŸ˜› You know where KFC office is? It’s there. Hahaha…


Left: Our drinks, lime juice(or lemon juice? don’t remember hahaha…the price is RM1.30 I think…), peppermint(RM1.50, I think…), ice lemon tea(also RM1.30 I think…). ARG! Don’t remember the prices. I only know they were between RM1-RM2. Hahaha….
Right: Garlic bread(RM2.90 if not mistaken) very tough…


Left: Mixed grill, I don’t have any idea about the price. It’s not worth it!! There were pork, lamb and chicken. I don’t think there’s beef in there. No idea… The meats were so thin and overcooked and so tough that I couldn’t even taste it at all! It’s the worst mixed grill I ever had!
Right: Creamy Spaghetti(RM9+), OH MY! Damn thick! You see the cheese powder?!?!? Luckily 3 of us share it, if not… I’m sure it’s not easy to finish it. Hmm… It’s OK with me. Quite nice. This is the only food I’m satisfied with. The rest? waste my money only!!!

The food is expensive and portion is too little for that kind of price! Service is kinda slow too. This is my second time there and I won’t go back again unless I’m not the one paying. Not worth my money… I really don’t understand why so many people like to dine there. They even expanded it summore! Total damage… RM35.50 for 3 of us. Someone actually gave away almost RM20 of TIPSS! Damn! So absent minded… We left before they gave us the change. They didn’t deserve such tips ARG! Who asked us to be so absent minded?

BN? DAP? 12th General Election 8th March 2008

Posted on By sweet surrender

So… It’s the time now… Every party is busy campaigning and trying to outdo and outwit each other. Who will win? Who should win? I’m sure you have your already made a decision. Some might change their decision last minute or along the way, some might just turn up and vote for no one meaning making a void vote. Whatever, that’s your choice.

We’ll be seeing lots of flags, banners and billboards setting up around town and even SMSes, e-mails and letters will be circulating around, be it the fact or misleading information, you’ll see for yourself until 7th March 2008.

The general election will be on 8th March 2008. Are you a voter? Cast your vote as your vote is important, it doesn’t matter which party you are supporting or you don’t support any, just turn up and cast your vote, be it valid or void, just make sure that your name is recorded and you’ve done your duty. The outcome will determine your future, do you still want to stay in the same position just like you are now? This 4-5 years, what did you get from DAP? Something to pondor upon.

Did you know that you cannot use nail polish when you go to vote? This is because they are implementing a new way to ensure that those who had voted won’t vote again due to an allegation in one of the previous elections where people voted and voted again with another person’s name. Still I don’t understand how the ink works after reading from the newspapers. We’ll see by then. If you come with nail polish, I’m not so sure how they will deal with you. Wanna try? Hahaha…

Carpenter Corner @ Carpenter Street

Posted on By sweet surrender 13 Comments on Carpenter Corner @ Carpenter Street

Went to Carpenter Street to look for some stuffs the other day. Then we came across this shop. Very huge signboard!

First thought was that it might be selling products like heartbeat. Out of curiousity, we went in and had a look. First we saw many t-shirts in containers. Great gifts for friends or your loved ones. Then it seemed more and more odd… The stuffs are getting more and more “interesting”… Then it hit on us that this is a shop that not only sells normal gifts for couple but also “special” gifts for couples! Hahahaha… If you know what I mean…

There were some displayed at the ground level, then there’s second level. We decided to went up to have a look… *LOL* More stuffs!! Sex toys, love gels, condoms and more… Somebody got so embarassed and quickly ushered me out hahaha…

Actually this is not the first shop that sells things like this in Kuching, there are many but most of them aren’t that obvious(sighboards so small and located quite secludely) except Condom House which I know most of you know that it’s located at MJC which is quite far from the city centre. Never been there or any of them before hahaha… My first time went to this kind of shop was in Time Square, KL. Miri has a lot, you could find one in every shopping mall hahaha… Kuching is different.

I guess Carpenter Corner is the only shop that sells these things so openly in the middle of Kuching.

So… Interested to buy some “special” gifts? You don’t have to go till MJC now hahaha…

By the way, they don’t pay me for this hahaha… Just found out and want to share it with you. Giving them free publicity… So kind of me…

Malaysia Travel Fair (MATF) 22-24 Feb 2008

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on Malaysia Travel Fair (MATF) 22-24 Feb 2008

It’s been a while not going to exhibitions or trade shows to do coverage. Finally got the chance now but of course we had to pay our own entrance fee. Malaysia Travel Fair (MATF) is scheduled from Feb 22 Ò€” 24. It’s held at Permata Exhibition Centre.


I was relunctant to go when I found out that I need to pay RM2 entrance fee to visit the travel fair… Went in… It’s sort of a dissapointment especially if you do not plan to go for any holiday or you want to but you can’t decide in few days times and you are lack of fund for it. πŸ™ However, if you are all geared up to make sure you grab the great offers and deals, it can be really a place to go though not many booths still you can grab cheap flight tickets from MAS.


With this wrist band, you can go in and out of the hall freely. We were given some souveniers such as the durian luggage tag with Lat’s comic at the back, also some bookmarks. When you’re in there, there’re lots of brochures to grab, also MASwings postcards.


Some views inside the hall.


I wish I can take those packages on offer such as the cruise but it’s expensive and the departure is in few days time -.-“. Those cheap flight tickets… πŸ™ I want too… No money no talk… I still don’t have enough money and even the mood to plan to travel to anywhere yet… Such wrong timing…

The Face Shop – Brightening Rice Water Cleansing Foam (Migamsu)

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on The Face Shop – Brightening Rice Water Cleansing Foam (Migamsu)

Ran out of facial cleanser last week, decided to go to The Face Shop at The Spring to buy. I’ve never been to The Face Shop even when I’m in KL therefore I’m not sure about the price range of the products. Initially I wanted to buy from Elianto but my friend told me that the facial cleanser there is very drying. That’s why I went to The Face Shop.

I thought The Face Shop has something to do with The Body Shop, when I went in, they greeted me in Korean, I got kinda shock *LOL* Then I found out their products are from Korea and some from Japan. Things are pretty expensive(for me), to many people it’s actually middle range. I’ve never use products of such price range.

After browsing a while, the sales girl came and assisted me, actually I wanted to leave already after seeing the price but too late… She “caught” me πŸ˜› She introduced me two types of facial cleansers, RM39.90 each. I’ve never use such expensive cleanser ok!?!? The most expensive I’ve used also below RM20. I saw RM35.90 ones hehehe… Thought of settle for that but at the end I settled for the RM39.90 one.


I bought Brightening Rice Water Cleansing Foam (Migamsu). My first time buying such expensive cleanser…

Here’s what I got from The Face Shop’s website.

Concept
A moisturizing and brightening cleansing line with rice water and Moringa oil. Moringa oil known as ‘purifying tree’ in India has very strong detoxifying quality. People used to put grinded Moringa plant in the polluted river water to detoxify.

Description
Contains rice water(10%) Fit Protein orchid extract Vitamin B5 complex. Its creamy and cushiony texture eases handling and moisturizing ingredients leave skin feeling hydrated after cleansing by minimizing moisture loss.

In fact, I was torned between choosing this and ORGANATURE CLEANSING FOAM – Hydrating Beans, both same price.

The smell is quite nice. I think it smells quite yummy *LOL* Indeed it’s not drying, after washing my face, I felt that my face is soft and clean, it felt different from all the other cleaners I used before. It indeed brighten up my skin, it also make makeup application easier.

Few days in a month, my face can be really sensitive and very dry. After I washed my face, some ithcy red spots would appear just anywhere on my face, it would go away after half to one hour later. There would also be dry spots especially on my nose and cheek.

It happened that I’m using this during the-sensitive-skin-days of the month, amazingly the red spots reduced, they are not itchy, dry spots aren’t obvious too.

Just one draw back, my face is small, usually I don’t have to use much cleanser, usually I only squeezed less than half inches. For this, I need to use a bit more which is between half to one inch to get the foam enough to cover my entire face and neck. However, it’s not really a big deal.

Phew… At least the RM39.90 is worth every cent.

Girl Stuffs, Review It!
