The Sunday Times XXVII: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

June 9, 2013 by thejessicat

 

 

If my car were to be a real human being, he'd probably be considered one of the luckiest men on earth.

 

It's because I pamper him way tooooooooo much. kiss

 

I know I've never blogged about my new car. Don't ask why – just never got round to it, I guess.

Betul2 tak tahu kenape. Jadi biarlah i bergambar skejap ngan kete aku okei? 

 

With my sexy red ride, the Ford Fiesta Sports Hatchback.

 

During the weekends, I've brought him in for a full car window tinting appointment at CG Tint Specialist.

The boss personally attended to me. She was amazing, patient and took the time to explain how different films actually work. Thanks Sheryl! heart

 

After 2.5 hours, my car windows are finally done! laugh

 

Out of the many (think: gazillions!) tinting film choices that CG Tint Specialist had in store, we discussed and narrowed down the choices before making a decision on what suits my car best, according to my daily usage. yes

Factors like where I usually park (indoors or outdoors), what time I usually leave for work and return from work (sunlight and glare), which area I live (safety) were also taken into consideration, amongst many others.

In the end, I chose the 58% dark tint with solar anti-UV, 65% anti-infra-red (heat) cool tech and with our alarming crime rate at hand, we decided to include the anti-theft (anti-smash) security film installed.cool

 

Proud and happy momma. wink Thanks CG Tint Specialist!

Now I feel so much safer, cooler and more comfy with less sun glare in my own car. 

 

The very next day, I decided to pamper my boy again.

I brought him to a car spa at CARs International.

 

Shine bright like a diamond! My baby all sparkling and shiny heart

 

We gave him a bubble-bath wash, a waxing treatment and had polishing work done on his outer body and a thorough vacuum and nano mist treatment for the inside. When I posted that photo on Facebook, someone suggested that I change his shoes too. wink Thanks for the bright idea!

Why didn't I think of that? Sport rims for your wheels next, baby! heart

 

Since mommy loves her shoes, you should have show-stopping shoes too! 

Which do you like best? wink

 

Anyway, ever since I got my car in January, I've always planned to modify the interior to red.

The results will look something like this:

 

My steering wheel and dashboard will look like this

 

And the seats will look like this 

 

Okay, enough car talk. I've always been the car enthusiast but I wouldn't wanna bore you just yet laugh

So let's see. Here's what I've been up to this week:

 

Friday outfit of the night.

 

Attended the Wicked Nights club series by Wicked Entertainment in Club Neverland.

This time round, they brought German trancemeister duos, Cosmic Gate. 

You can read the blog feature I've written: here

 

In stark contrast, here's a photo of me in my pyjamas. blush

Janganlah ketawa aku, boleh? Malaslah nak tukar kpd baju yang lain.

 

Allow me to explain. It was 2.30am, I was sleepy and hence couldn't be arsed to go

through the effort of putting something else on. cheeky I hope that clarifies hahaha!

 

Just a casual afternoon outfit of the day

The tee I'm wearing was a gift from mom. A subtle reminderof my little island, Penang,

and one of her many ways of telling me that I'm always beautiful in her eyes. heart

 

Charity work at Spastic Children's Association of Selangor & Federal Territory.

Your contribution is their hope! You can make your kind donations on their official website at: scasft.org

 

What else? Gym. 

 

So several months have passed since I've begun my vigorous training.

To be honest, I don't find it hardcore at all when most people do. Maybe it's because I've been a gym rat since the year 2007. Once you do something long enough, it just falls into a routine and a habit that you are too familiar with. 

 

Few months in. Progress shot.

Gained 6kg of lean muscle and fat percentage dropped by 30%

 

As a result, I was pretty upset when my weight had increased, due to societal norms and mass media influence of "losing weight" and "being skinny". 

However, I keep reminding myself not to be bummed because muscle weighs heavier than fat. 

But unavoidably, I was depressed on the very night I checked and measured my progress until I ranted to my fellow gym buff.

 

He told me not to worry about the number on the scale and to keep up the good job.

 smiley Thank you, you know who you are!heart

 

And as usual, awesome post-workout meals! I think I spend most of my time in the kitchen now.

Aku rasa aku skarang macam tinggal kat dapur aku, tahu. Memang gemar memasak sejak baru2 ini.

 

Italian wholewheat durum spaghetti with chopped button mushrooms, brocolli, carrots,

honey-baked aubergines all tossed with freshly blended tomato puree and thyme.

 

Organic wholewheat cavatappi with scrambled eggs, tuna and tomatoes

topped with basil and ground black pepper.

 

I think I made a lot more food  this week but can't seem to find them.

Perhaps I gobbled them all – including the photos! cheeky

 

We had a potluck steamboat party during lunch hour at work too.

It was like a buffet, and so yum! Here's a photo from my bowl.

 

With one of my colleagues, Wendy.

The whole team went to The Curve for lunch the next day and grabbed coffee too!

 

Was pleasantly surprised by a wonderful delivery of booze and party gear:

glowsticks, a silicon LED Nixon watch and an adorable beer bottle pendrive!

Thanks Carlsberg Malaysia!

More about this in a blog feature.*hint* Where's the Party? wink

 

This week also got me riling as I have been phoneless for several days now.

In this day and age, and my being the social media addict, I felt restless as there was absolutely nothing in my hands to fidget with! If you're wondering, I've sent my iPhone 4S for a one-on-one exhange to Maxis and Apple.

It's a good thing they don't repair, but instead REPLACE your faulty one with a new one laugh

 

Went to Berjaya Times Square in the city on Saturday and all I bought

was this snapback cap by popular street wear gear brand, OBEY.

 

Okay, I lied. I bought a new iPhone case for my new iPhone that will be arriving soonest by Friday!

Nice? And I also bought a new screen protector and matt red iPhone body sticker.laugh

 

Almost bought this but theboyf stopped me.

He says I didn't need any more mirrors nor Hello Kitty stuff. I had to agree cheeky

 

Random candids of my cat, Chivas.

Theboyf loves taking photos of him – all the time!

 

Escaped work during lunch hour to grab a cuppa at Artisan Roast, TTDI

 

I can never resist their cheesecake.

 

Satisfied our late night lok-lok cravings in the city cheeky

 

On Sunday night, I checked out a new place for dinner. 

 

Milk and Butter, Bangsar

★★★★★

 

The food was superb! We had the Wild Mushroom soup, Cottage Pie (Shepard's Pie), Ultimate Scrambled Egg, Turkey Ham and Chicken Ham Crunchy Pizza and a cuppa latte each. laugh

The waiters were so jovial and courteous. I loved the whole ambience of the restaurant too.

More about my experience at Milk and Butter in my next blog feature!

 

Random selfie. Double trouble on a rainy day.

 

That's all for this week. Have a good seven days ahead and look forward to the weekend again! wink

 

Much love,

kissJessicat

ONE persistent old man to rule 7 of us all : How to rescue your car when it is stuck in mud

June 26, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Couldn't help but to blog this unfortunate "incident" which happened to us this afternoon.

Well, it happened to Alex's car, to be exact. I was glad I filmed the entire rescue process, because whilst I was editing and piecing the video together, it was actually a bunch of very funny moments.

 

We went to Cleefy's house for a barbeque-cum-houseparty yesterday, stayed the night…

and this was what we saw the next morning

 

Holy smokes. Car tyres stuck in the mud. It was bogged!

What are we gonna do??? 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVVmlnZU0S0

Here's a funny video I made. You MUST watch it till the end! 😀

How to Rescue or Get Your Car Out When it is Stuck in Mud 101

 

Funny thing is, why does this always happen to Aussies?

My other mate Deanna had almost the entire front of her car dipped in mud and it was stuck in it overnight, last month.

 

Thankfully, a bunch of strong men helped her get it out.

 

So, now you know what to do when it is stuck in mud, okay?

Wait for a random old man to appear and adhere to his wise words.

 

Kidding! Just make sure you have a strong nylon rope/cord with you. For you never know when your car is ever going to get stuck in mud.

Or wear a sexy blue underwear for added masculinity while rescuing the car.

 

Hey, it works both ways 😀 😀

Of classy partying, wine, shiny cars & casino games : 7aste, Monte Carlo @ Ecoba!

October 16, 2010 by thejessicat

 

Wooohooo!
 

Can never stop living and breathing parties! 😀
 

 

Remember the 7aste Monte Carlo theme party I blogged about previously?
 

Well, what can I say? The event was really classy, very 'atas' if I do say so myself.
 

 

The first thing that greeted me upon entering Ecoba's premises!

Shiny sleek cars are love
 

 

Cool maximus numberplate!
 

 

I didn't know what to wear being it all Monte Carlo and stuff. Clearly, I can't be wearing like the usual short tube dresses and whatnot. So I dug up my non-Monte Carlo wardrobe and well, managed to find something black, longer and more elegant (I hope!).
 

Initially I was thinking of wearing the shiny long dress I wore for my college prom but didn't wanna end up overdressed! I doubt I'd be seeing suave looking gentlemen in coats and bow-ties anyway. Although that would be a sight to see! 😀
 

 

have always thought shawls make ladies look somewhat classier LOL
 

Me against the backdrop of 7aste!
 

 

 

Okay time to go in! 😀 Let's get the night started alreadyyyyy
 

 


 

Entrance looks pretty grand too!
 

Spotlights, camera, action 😀
 

 

 

Ooooh and one of the best parts of an event is always the polaroid or instant photographs. 🙂 I love those! You can hold a really grand scaled event, all hi-fi and whatnot but without these, the event would be less… meaningful. I mean, c'mon!
 

 

Brought my good friend, Kelly, along with me to the party
 

I have a polaroid version of this, blu-tacked onto my wardrobe doors. Thanks 7aste!
 

 

Everyone would love something to bring home for memories, whats better than a hardcopy which we all can put on our desks, dressing tables or magnet-ed on even our fridges! In fact, I've a collection of almost 30 polaroids from various events, pasted up on my memory wall!
 

So from now on, any event which I go devoid of polaroids, I shall deem incomplete and kiamsiap!! 😛 😛
 

 

 

 


the Penang trio Jerine, Calvin & me sippin' our wine. Thanks fo the pic gurl

 

White wine courtesy of 7aste! 😀
 

With them boys Serge & Mike 

 

And the finger food! 🙂 There were chicken, pies and lots more – all bite sized!
 

 

 

 


 

Gobble gobble gobble
 

 

Apart from wine, there was free flow of Carlsberg beer for us VIPs too. Yay! 😀
 

 

 

We can haz ice-cold beer all night looooooooongggg!

 

 

I love how events bring people together 🙂 There's always so much merriment in a party!

 


 With my pals Kelly and Andy!

 

 

Bumped into my fellow Penangmates Wen Hoong, Wei Ling & Jie Hu. We went to a scouts & guides Combined Training Camp (CTC) together back in 2004! Pleasant surprise meeting you guys again 🙂
 

 

 

*brainfreeze*
 

 

 

Candid shot of me downing the ice-cold Carlsberg
 thanks Lionel haha!
 

 

Other than great drinks, food, company, they pumped it up a notch by putting up Casino-like booths all around. There they were, counters of simulated "gambling" games such as Wheel of Fortune, Baccarat and so on.
 

The "dealers" were also very professionally dressed and groomed neatly. Just like the ones in the real casinos!
 

 

Here we are gaming in a round of Punto Banco, aka Player Banker
 

I miss Genting's Monte Carlo casino already! 🙁
 

 

Unlike the real casinos where you actually lose real  money if you lose a round, the one at 7aste was a good gamble. If you lose, you just… well.. be the loser for that round. LOL but if you win, you actually bring home a prize! 😀 😀
 

Had lotsa fun playing, to which I won a 2GB Pendrive & a 7 shaped ashtray! Hurraaahhh!
 

 


 

 

The performances too, were adapted from the real Monte Carlo style
 

 


 

 

Melikey the whole concept of this event! 😀 Very different, very classy, very… Nevada Las Vegas-ish too.
 

 

I had really good fun *hic* and perhaps one too many *hic* before leaving for my good friend, Chee Seng's houseparty to *hic* celebrate his 22nd birthday 😀
 

 

More piccies of buddies and I having fun throughout the night!
 

 


 

Sippin on more white wine with the buddy! 

 


 

With pimp daddy Leonard. LOL Thanks for the pic Kate! 🙂
 

 


 

Haha this photo has 2 watermarks because I ain't putting a heart, Sakura flower or pixelating THERE.

Thanks Simon , for the piccie! 🙂
 

 


 

Gurls just wanna have fun! 😀
 

 

And to end the night, I present you a very gangster-lovin player-attitude photo! 😀
 

 


 

Also another random photo taken by Serge hehe! 😀
 

 

Great night! :D Two thumbs up
