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

September 30, 2012 by thejessicat

 

 

Wake me up when September ends, you say? Well… the time has come!

Tomorrow marks not only the start of a new week, but a start of a new month as well.

 

Yup, it's OCTOBER! *throws confetti* 

Anyway, my week has been a very pleasant & busy one. I was back in Penang for a few days to visit my folks. 

 

Outfit of the day!

 

If you're wondering if I'm dressed more smartly & corporately than usual, I am.

Mom and I attended a High-Tea buffet event at G-Hotel organized by The Star. Full of who's who in the business & corporate world, mom hinted that I should probably dress the part as well. LOL!

 

We had delicious sweet and savoury high-tea meals in a platter on our table.

My fave was the mussels served in a spoon! They were so juicy 

 

And then we did some shopping at the adjacent Gurney Plaza right after. Just like old times.

It's one of those mother-daughter things we used to do, back when I didn't move out of home yet.

 

Having a good night's sleep with my Lavender essential oil from The Body Shop after I returned to KL

Mom somehow got me into the whole aromatherapy burning thing again.

 

It's quality times like this, that I miss immensely about home. I guess home is always where he heart is.

We must not forget that while we're busy growing up, our parents are growing old as well

 

Okay, enough nostalgia. On to the more adreanalin-pumping, body-rocking stuff, hey? 

 

Did Monday's routine at the gym in our clubhouse, Bukit Jambul Country Club Penang

 

Imparted some fitness tips to mom too. She's a great gym partner – at 50, mind you!

I swear, when I hit half a century, imma be as fit – if not fitter than – she is. Hats off to this lady I call my mother!

 

Burning approximately 500 calories after my cardio & workout routines kinda gives me the munchies.

I have a knack of indulging in VERY sinful food as well. But no matter, at least I burn them off almost everday.

 

Triple Cheese Mozzarella Garlic Naan from Murni @ SS2, Petaling Jaya

 

You think that's bad?

Wait till you see this. Oh and if you care, I'm also eating a rich Chocolate Fudge cake now as we speak.

 

It's the Double Down by KFC!!

 

Yup, it's here… it's finally here! The KFC Zinger Double Down 

BoyfieKon and I ate this in Australia sometime last year. I think I might dedicate a blogpost to this! :P

 

One of my godsistas came over to hang out & spent a couple of days with me.

Guess what we did apart from having dinners, doing our assignments and shisha-ing?

 

I brought her….. to the gym LOL

 

Part of Thursday's routine

 

This week, I am thankful for my cat. 

My prized possession. My bundle of joy. My forever-attention-seeking fluffball. My affectionate little boy.

 

No, he is not at all as fierce as he looks. He wouldn't even hurt a fly.

Chivas is the most docile cat I've ever known.

 

I guess babyChivas inherited those traits from his purebred Ragamuffiin/Ragdoll mother 

If I ain't wrong, that breed is well-known for their innate characteristics of having a very placid temperament.

 

Confused babyChivas as to where I'm taking him LOL

 

Brought him to the vet for his usual check-up.

Gotta make sure my boy hasn't got any dysfunctional illness or caught any diseases from anywhere!

 

Look at the new Witch Hat scratch post mommy & daddy bought for you! 

 

Came across this while surfing the web. Caught my attention and reduced me to giggles,

I can already think of a number of people whom can relate to this haha! 

 

 

Yup… better not marry someone like that.

Lest you have kids that go..

 

LOLOLOLOLOL

 

If you're a gamer and feel the need to smash my head on your grime-filled keyboard and sweat-laden mouse after reading this, don't. You won't score any points or go to the next level if you kill me. 

Obviously, I was joking. I've dated a few gamers before in my life & they're pretty cool, nonetheless.

 

On Friday, I caught sight of a very exciting yet dreamy-like spectacle in the night sky. :D

As I live on the highest floor of my condominium, I was lucky enough to have the kaleidoscope of colours and fireworks in my direct line of vision.

 

 

I honestly wondered though, what's the occasion on the 28th September ?

NO FREAKIN' CLUE. 

 

So pretty! I just couldn't stop spamming my shutter button!

 

Check out this pretty cute song by a Swedish artist.

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS6wfWu0JvA&feature=player_detailpage

Song of the week! Lykke Li – I Follow Rivers

 

 Although it is very unlikely of me to actually fancy an Indie Pop song like this, this is an exception. It was introduced to me by one of my French buddies. Stuck in my head since then! :D

 

Today is boyfieKon's birthday! We had a splendid celebration 

I bought him an Arnold Palmer wallet and double-buckled belt. Gave it to him at the stroke of midnight!

 

Could tell that he absolutely loved it! :D I'm glad.

Plus, he has this uncanny liking towards the smell of fresh, new 100% leather. LOL

 

Headed to The Apartment-cum-Malones in The Curve for a simple birthday lunch.

 

Outfit of the day! American Invasion 

 

The birthday boy had Jamie's Duck Pasta Fettucine 

I had Grilled Chicken with Creme Fraiche, Spinach with Dill Mash *highly recommended!*

Wouldn't recommend the Chicken & Mushroom Pasta Spaghetti that Pam ordered as it was rather bland to her

 

We finished off (or rather, started!) with the Chocolate Brownie

I'd have it again, it was that good! 

 

At night, we adjourned to our table-for-two affair

BoyfieKon & I proceeded to Concorde Hotel KL for the birthday dinner which I planned secretly just for him.

 

Outfit of the night!

Drew a little inspiration from Playboy Bunny

 

Last year, we celebrated his birthday in a full Playboy Bunny & Suit Up party in Melbourne!

So… that kinda explains why I wanted to re-live a little of last year's moments. 

 

Ordered their best-selling Chocolate Fudge cake & had GANGNAM BUFDAY KON deliberately written on it

 

It's an inside joke.

 

Dinner was simply marvellous. I cannot thank Concorde Hotel KL enough for our wonderful evening 

 *full blogpost coming soon!*

 

That marks the end of my seven days this week. What does October have in store for me?

October? Geez. I dread to be reminded that it's already October. That's two more months till the end of the year.


How time flies, right? Are you any closer to completing those New Year Resolutions already?

If not, you better get your arse moving. You only have approximately 90 more days to achieve that. 

 

Heading off to the gym now, dear readers

 

HAVE A GANGNAM WEEK AHEAD OF YOU!

 

Oh, did you know that Psy's Oppa Gangnam Style has hit the Number 1 spot in the UK Billboard Top 100, making it the first in Asian music history?  Now you do 

 

Much love,

Jessicat

Our short weekend getaway @ Langkawi Island! Of booze, chocolates & fireworks. HOLIDAY!

August 29, 2010 by thejessicat

 

 

Heyyy!
 

How was your weekend everyone? 😀
 

 

I headed back to give my family a visit and while I was browsing through some piccies, I realized that I long for another well deserved holiday so much! Well, MATTA Fair will be up and running next week and I just can't wait to choose the awesome packages there.
 

 

So lemme recap my weekend in Langkawi with the boyfie Josh some time back 🙂 Realized that I haven't blogged 'em yet!
 

 

 

Departed from Swettenham Pier in Penang Island with the ferry.

Camwhored like crayyyyzeee!
 

 

 

When we reached, the first place we hit was the beach! 😀
 

 

 

And decided to photobomb each other in the midst of narcissism
 

 

it wasn't planned! Bwhahaha
 

What a coincidence
 

 

Fast forward!
 

After playing in the sand like lil kids, it's time for some extreme sports 😀

 

Motorboating yo!
 

That thing can go almost 300km/h yo

 

Took a ride! The seas were vicious but we still managed to squeeze a piccie
 

Thankfully, the speedboat didn't topple over!
 

 

 

We were speeding ala too fast too furious! Right in the middle of the rough waves
 

Take a look!
 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyNCQbHK1Bk
 

Josh superfreaked out lest I drop the camera into the deep depths of the sea

Nyehehe
 

 

 

But I didn't lor!
 All safe and sound
 

 

Here I am acting all macho like I own the waves!
 

Bwaaaahaaha 😛
 

 

 

All done with riding the seven seas :P
 

What an adrenalin rush!
 

 

 


This overdue holiday was done at the start of 2010!

That time, my red highlights of 2009 had faded off already
 

 

Let the rain fall and wash away our writings in the sand!
 

 

Chilled out more at the beach and walked along the stretch of bazaars! I went absolutely bonkers shopping for sun dresses, bikinis, hair clips and whatnot!
 

 

And then nightfell. Had a good night's sleep back at the hotel
 

 

 

And before we knew it, it was the next day! A whole new day of activities lies ahead of us
 

 

Went for a traditional Chinese massage!
 

 

 

I did the reflexology! Ima fan of foot massages, in fact in every island I visit, the reflexology is a MUST do! 😀
 

Here I am getting tortured LOL
 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc0g_tTqidA
 

When you're laden with stress, I'm certain it'll hurt pretty bad!

 

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsBzVcGo5HM
 

And here's Josh getting himself tortured as well
 

I mustered whatever Mandarin I can to get the masseur to massage him harder! 😛

 

 

Did some shopping and dinner thereafter
 

 

Awwwwwww adorable max!!
 

 

And how can we forget, chocolates!
 

Here are some of my faves… Guylian's seashells

 

Dinner at a seafood restaurant! Langkawi's pretty fehmes for its seafood
 

Loved the Pineapple rice there too! We had calamari, fish, soft shell crabs and much more

 

 

Our last night at the beach.
 

Thought it would be nice to sit warmly by the bonfire

 

And it was huge!!! 😀
 

Not to mention extremely glaring too
 

 

A beautiful arsenal of fireworks made their way through the nightsky

The display lasted for almost 5 minutes!
 

 

 

Headed off to the Bird Paradise park the next day
 

So much birds! I had fun feeding 'em too

 

Cockatooooooooooooo
 

 

 

And it was time to go off already!
 

Time seems to stop whenever you're on a holiday ey. 🙁 🙁
 

 

Goooooooodbye Langkawi!
 

We'll be back again for the fun, the booze, the beach and the seafoooood!

 

 

Short weekends trippin' are the best way to renergize yourself for a brand new week ahead.
 

This year, I'll be heading to Pangkor Island, Tioman Island and Bali if everything goes smoothly as planned!

 

*crosses fingers*

Congrats to Spain – 2010 Champions of the FIFA World Cup! Paul the Octopus' predictions was right!

July 12, 2010 by thejessicat

 

 

AAAAAAAAAUUUGHHH!!!

This is one of the LONGEST matches ever that causes so much suspense!

 

Any predictions, Mr Google? 😀

 

Geez! But after all, it was the FINALE. So.. whaddya expect? So much torture! I'm pretty certain all the peeps at the World Cup street parties are prolly cursing under their breaths – SCORE ALREADY!! COME ON!! GOD FORBID EXTRA TIME!

 

LOL most people will be dragging themselves to work the next day just like zombies!

I know I will be happily sleeping in though 😛

 

Oh, ya know what's the funny part? Almost my entire gang of homies turned "traitors" for the night! Most of us were supporting Netherlands to beat Spain, yours truly included! Here's why we hated Spain in the beginning, they trashed our Germans! RAWR!

 

This Germany fangirl was so happy that Germany won 3rd placing for World Cup 2010

Mom will be proud too, she works in a German company!

 

5 AM in the middle of the road, what gives? 😛

 

But but but… when we all met up for supper at the beach, one of our mates brought only red and yellow body paint. What happened to the white, blue and red? DON'T HAVE! 🙁

 

 

BUT MY GURLS AND I WANTED OUR FACES PAINTED TOO 🙁 🙁

So how?? HOW?

 

In the end, we just caved in to the boys and supported Spain anyway… not just because of the face paint but also for  David Villa and Fernando Torres. Hunk alert! 😛

 

BFF and I 😀

 

Josh and I

 

Minny & I

 

Off we stormed to Sticks, Fire Bistro located adjacent to Queensbay Mall. Lovely place! We were diggin' the environment, the music, the crowd, the shisha, and most importantly the warm company

 

Hmm.. now that World Cup is over, WHAT DO I DO AT 2.30AM NOW??? 🙁

It feels so different after an entire month!

 

 

Needs gettin' used to, methinks.

 

 

 

VIVA LA ESPANA! 😀

Result #esp 1 – 0 #ned

 

Whoops and before I head to bed and crash for the next 9 hours, I think we should all make a toast to South Africa for hosting a wonderful World Cup 2010! You did a really great job – sans the vuvuzela 😛 They were amazing hosts throughout the entire month!

The ending was really pretty too, so much fireworks, flames, confetti and a fabulous display of a closing ceremony. If you had watched the entire trophy-giving part and the presentation as well as the aerial view of the entire stadium in Port Elizabeth, you would be awed too. 🙂

 

Impressive 😀

 

 

WAKA WAKA! Tis time for Africa!

 

Brazil's turn next.. see you in 4 years time

(I know a bit sesat, Spain-painted face but Portugal jersey LOL)
