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

September 9, 2012 by thejessicat

 

I know I skipped last weekend's edition of The Sunday Times!

Actually, don't ask me why. I don't know either.

 

I shall mull two weeks motherload of photos/updates for you, aight?

Better late than never teehee!

 

Spent some lonely cuddletimes with my favourite boy 

 

Gave in to the Instagram craze!

Several people have been bugging me to get on Instagram for a while now… and I thought, hey why not?

Follow me on Instagram at – thejessicat

 

Stormed my kitchen up to make dinner again! :D

Butter-Cereal Prawn & Black Pepper Scrambled Eggs with Tofu & Spinach on a Saturday night

 

Celebrated my country's Independence Day on the 31st August!

Full blogpost – here *click*

 

Got a tad nerdy & intellectual for several days

Been preparing for an article about contemporary Malaysian culture!

 

Off on an airplane to Penang Island courtesy of Heineken!

An epic mini-rave is underway 

 

Touched down in Penang to attend the Heineken Progressive Tour at 32 Mansion @ Penang

Full blogpost soon! 

 

I just had to justify myself LOL

 

Had English breakfast with mom in Dome Cafe @ Gurney Plaza, Penang!

I'd recommend the Eggs Benedict 

 

Day out in the city : Pavilion KL with buddies Jean-Baptiste & Nestor!

 

Took the cable car up to Genting Highlands with 'em magician boys after that!

J'ai passé un très bon moment  :D

 

Outfit of the day in Genting Highlands!

 

Watched Superstars of Magic 2 four times! Yup, FOUR TIMES.

Too good to only catch it once :D Made wonderful friends there, the cast & crew were an amazing bunch!

 

Learnt some magic under the tutorledge of two fabulous cardicians

You know who you both are. Much love & gratitude! 

 

Made a snack at home  Do I smell something healthy?

Fresh lettuce, red corals, wild rocket leaves, butter hearts, radicchio,

red oakleaves with watermelon chunks, oregano & thousand island!

 

Hit the gym again! Did my usual routine and a 5KM track-run :D

 

Had a bout of a rather dreadful emotional turmoil & lost my appetite for 4 days.

Stayed in bed. Refused to get out. Wallowed in depression. But yeah, tried to smile for the camera anyhow LOL

 

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx6deVzKeKQ&feature=player_detailpage

Song of the week 

 

 

Picked up the pieces, put on a smile and buried my misery six feet under

 

Question is : How can you forget someone who gave you so much to remember?

 

Just got back from a satisfying dinner! I recommend the Chicken & Lamb Mixed Royal Kebab with Saffron Rice

A cosy & VERY reasonably priced Middle Eastern place : Saffron Cafe & Restaurant in Damansara Perdana! 

 

 

Well, that's what's I've buzzing with during past fortnight, apart from the emotional rollercoaster ride.

It's rather personal, don't ask  But what didn't kill me, made me stronger!

 

… overcome the tears & attempt the next stride with a smile :D


This week, I am thankful for :

1) The immediate people around me 

2) The lessons in life which I learnt the hard way. 

 

Have a great seven days ahead dear readers 

 

Much love,

Jessicat

Holidaying around the world with cheap travel packages! Mayflower is back with great promos for MATTA Fair 2 – 5 September @ The Mall, KL

September 3, 2010 by thejessicat

 

 

Aaahhh!! So yesterday I came across some flyers about the MATTA Fair and was stoked looking at all the affordable prices!

I even put it up on Facebook and Twitter and gosh, you guys responded very well 😀

 

Looks like lotsa people in the hauz are yearning for a holiday just the way I do too.

Here are some pictures from my last holiday which I miss so much!

 

Looking all touristy in the middle of a busy street!

LOL with a map summore

 

And here am I in some ancient Rome lookalike place! 😀

 

So yes, I wanna go on a holiday again really baddddd! MATTA Fair officially begins today and I can't wait to get my hands on those good deals before anyone else takes it all up! Because I'm kiasu like that P 😛

 

And guess what? I found some awesome promos on Mayflower Tour's flyers and Imma share them all with you! Their Free & Easy tours covers ALL 7 continents like OMG 😀

 

 

Okay so.. where do we go first?

Since I'll be heading over to Melbourne next year, here's the deets on Ozzie which I've found.

 

So cheap!! 704 bucks for a 4 day tour zomg 😀

 

 

So what's next?

This one really sparked my attention though

 

Holidaying in Paris for about a thousand grand ONLY 😀

*thumbs up*

 

Hmm oh! Like some of my friends, if you're planning to travel the European countries for some sight-seeing, or to ride a strange creature, say… a llama, or experience snow…

 

 

or if you wanna hook up with a hot European dude like my Norweigian friend above, then European countries is the way to go! 😛

Here, Imma share some with yall

 

Super worth your bottom dollar right?

Don't say I didn't tell yall 😀

 

 

Oooh and and, since I'll be also heading to the UK to visit the bestie Joyce somewhere in the 3rd quarter of next year, here are some of the packages which I found really worth the money!

 

Yup, this is the one I've been talking about on Facebook. London for roughly 800 bucks! Where else can you get that on your own!? 😀

 

And do I hear Hawaiiiiii babeh!!? 😀

Fabulous for honeymoons. The prices are really rock-bottom. Melikes.

 

There are just so much more countries available for tour by Mayflower, but I can't possibly show you EVERYTHING lest my blogpost be lagging up your computer! So, you know where to go.. the MATTA Fair is gonna be held at The Mall, KL (opposite PWTC) from today till Sunday at 10am – 9pm.

 

Don't miss out, okay? 😀 You wouldn't wanna see your potential vacations flying out your window!

 

Good thing we've got Mayflower Tour the holiday and travel specialist to kautim all our holidays for us

 

 

Oh and before I forget, lemme share with you a few more.. closer to home ones!

 

I'm honestly sick and fed up of the same TWO people telling me "Ohh don't go! Dangerous riots!" over and over again each time I mention that I wanna go to Thailand. I declined different groups of friends THREE TIMES to tour Bangkok and Phuket because of this -__-

And everyone went without me, enjoyed themselves and came back with great memories 🙁 🙁

But thanks to Mayflower, I can take their words, stick it up where the sun doesn't shine and go ANYWAY 😀 😀

 

No worries! Thailand's political situation is very stable (and peaceful) now. So hey ho, let's go!

 

I wanna go also!!!!! 🙁 🙁

Very tempting lor! I think imma go tomorrow and buy the Bangkok one already.

 

 

Amongst all the holiday destination deemed islands in Malaysia, (I think we have 7 if I ain't wrong) Pangkor Island is the nearest to me!

Yup yup, it's located in Perak so it's only a 2 hour drive from our capital, KL City

 

Most likely, Best Western Marina Island Resort is gonna be my crib for

3 days and 2 nights sometime next month 🙂 🙂

 

 

Can't wait to check out that place and share it all with yall!

You can head to Mayflower's booth during the MATTA Fair and check out their promos of only RM78 per person (twin sharing) inclusive of breakfast yo

 

It looks so gorgeous from the pictures already, I wonder how it's really like inside! 😀

Well, I shall find out soon

 

 

Gosh. All this holiday talk is making me itching to purchase some already for this year-end and also next year! 🙂 Why, I've some travel packages in mind already *grins* I hope you have yours too.

 

Where? Mayflower's booth at The Mall, KL (opposite PWTC)

When? 2nd September  – 5th September 2010

Time? 10am – 9pm

 

 

Looks like my T-Rex is all up and ready to go on a holiday already!!

Down boy 😀 😀 We'll get our bags packing soon, I promise! 😀

Make it count!

July 8, 2009 by thejessicat

I haven’t had sucha good time with my close friends for the longest time. Been away from home for 3 months and boy I miss hangin’ out with theloves. I’ll make this 1 week back in Penang worth every single day.

Reached home late at night yesterday, driving under the heavy rain all the way back home. Wet, but happy nonetheless. Miss them to bits since I’ve been away working & writing my butt off.

Buddies who have read my Tweets will already know that I was :
“having massages, indulging in chocolate cheesecakes &
laughing at old pics with the bffs”

We headed to this rather cosy place in Tg. Bungah, Penang to get ourselves a full body massage. Perfectly just what we needed after much stress and lethargy. I needed to get some bones a-cracking!


Ouch. Like seriously whoooompaloooompa!

Minny was shrieking almost every single time and I was laughing at her. Ralph could hear it all in the next room (when he was having an intimately relaxing moment with his butt exposed by another Indonesian lady massaging him) It was all until the lady made my backbone go KRAKKKKK

oh my.

We then bought chocolate brownies, cheesecakes and choux puffs for some sinful indulgences. Seriously, you wont catch us having these every other day.


Stuff ’em all in yo

And what could be better than Penang food in Penang itself? Yeah, no offense but I’ve seen multiple ‘Penang Laksa’ or ‘Penang Char Koay Teow’ stalls in KL which doesn’t quite taste the bit. Well, I guess that’s the closest you can get to delights of Penang!


FOOOOOOOD

oh by the way

DO ANY OF YOU KNOW THE ENGLISH TERM FOR ‘LOH BAK’ ?

If you look hard enough, there’s a clue in my picture above
Guess guess!

Ah forget it. I’ll tell you anyway.

HALOGEN MEAT.
wtf?

Go Google ‘Halogen’ if you don’t remember studying about Halogen Gasses in Chemistry when you were in High School.

We also had Bruschetta, not Penang-ish at all but ohwells.


Yum

It was really cool that SuTing had a fish-eye camera. But it ain’t digital, so you have to wind it before every shot and wait for the film to develop before you can see any of your piccies.


Pretty, no?

She bought it from Melbourne and it costed AUS120$. But it’s a pretty good steal, for something as cool as that. We had fun playing with it till the other tables were intrigued as well.

Here’s us stupidly trying to take a fish-eye picture using a digital camera and shooting it through the lens of her fish-eye camera. Apparently it failed and it doesn’t look fish-eye at all! Now, whose bright idea was that? ROARR.

Randomly, I feel like buying a lomo camera.

Home wheee! whee!!

July 5, 2009 by thejessicat

Been away from my lappy for a couple of days now, hence the short 5-day hiatus. I’ve been backpacking & making roadtrips down from KL to Ipoh and finally now, back in Penang.

Gawd. It feels so different, almost foreign to be blogging in my very own house for the 1st time in 3 months… so strange yet wonderful. Hate to be corny but, home is always where the heart is.

As you can see, I had company being the traffic ranger

Oh and for the record, mom is sitting beside me as we speak. Yuppers, go say hi to her 🙂 All I can say is, it feels great to be home! And no, I’m not under duress to say this neither does she have a machete pointing towards my throat.

Plans for lunches, dinners and yumchas are filling up to the brim. I love being home… and I miss my Penang kakis

Coming up tomorrow,
UPDATES FROM A GERMAN DELI !


Think life-sized sausages and *cough* nuff said.


Sorry to those who was wondering why I went MIA for 5 days!
I’ve just risen from the ashes.

Goodnites!

Hacked & Wasted. Whatta burday!

June 4, 2009 by thejessicat
What happens when you turn 24 and you happen to be with me?

Your blog account gets hacked into, you receive a series of burfday surprises and it’s guaranteed that you go down in style with alco influences.

If you’ve been following my blog, you would have already known what I did for him prior to his birthday. Check it out [here]. Anyway, here’s what happened during his birthday weekend when I was in Singapore.

We got to Hard Rock Cafe of which I reserved a table for two at 7.30pm. Being fans of Hard Rock Cafe all around the world, it is no wonder I chose this spot for us to celebrate.


We made a pact that for each country we visit,
the Hard Rock Cafe is a must!

Food was yummy yum yum. I knew this was the place to patronize after hitting KL’s Hard Rock Cafe in Bukit Bintang. What can I say? I’m a huge fan of their salmon and home made soups.


All piccies were shot by my cellphone and compacts.
(I wanted to party light sans the DSLR)

Ta-da. My grilled salmon. Such love! Oh and, it doesn’t help that there’s a camera in fronta you frequently pointing in your direction.


I know I look rather odd from an aerial view


Dang. Excuse the monkey business.


Finally, a decent picture with a proper smile

So we had our meals over awesome banana milkshakes (our personal faves) and old skool rock music. Dope! Bon Jovi, ACDC, The Cranberries and many more took over the tracks.

Did I mention that I was a fan of berries? Strawberries in particular. I always have strawberry lotion on me after a shower. Go geddit gurls, it smells really good!

Cherries really gets to me too. I recently bought a tiny WildCherry lipgloss tub from The Body Shop. Now, I can have cherries on my lips 24/7!


Go poppin’ some cherries!
(pun unintended)
And would you like to share the cream?


ROAR

Just before we left,

I HAD THE ENTIRE HARD ROCK CAFE CREW TO SING HIM A BDAY SONG AND DRAG HIM UP THE STAGE TO STAND ON THE CHAIR… IN FRONTA EVERYONE!
(you will see the video at the end of this blogpost)

When the embarrassing ordeal wonderful experience was over and completed according to plan, we headed down to Clarke Quay to enjoy the rest of the evening with a few kick-ass cocktails.

Oh and guess who’s here to make it all the more merrier?


Our
boys & gurls from the hood ! SS family members!


Yep, that’s right.
Venessa & Cheez

We weren’t the only ones. Ducclebears’ cousin came to join us too


Tonight, I prophesize that we’re all going down
LOL

At 12 midnight, we burst out loud with a birthday song and pulled out a chocolate brownie made by Ven & Cheez.


That’s 24 candles altogether
total meltdown! WOOTs!


More cherries?

Oh, before I forget… we chilled by Marakesh, a Moroccan bar the whole time. A great selection of international favorites, beers, shooters and much more. And also, the Shisha! My buddies and I used to Shisha near Pavillion KL, but this is my 1st time Shisha-ing in Singapore.


A group photo
WITH CHEEZ SHISHA-ING HALFWAY!

Notice : Shisha is not equivalent to smoking. Smoking has tobacco, nicotine and is bad for health. Shisha is actually a steamed flavouring heated up by charcoal.
I do not publicly advocate smoking in my blog FYI.


I love this picture… look at the trail of steam!
And check out his face!

When we all got home, that’s when the absolut party begins.
This video is a MUST-WATCH if you fancy a laughter and moments of wtf-ness. I spent 4 hours editing it… you better like it! 😛


let it load till at least half first so
you won’t be interrupted/potong stim
4.21min.

ENJOY!
it’s my first time doing full-fledged editing
so pardon this n00b, ou great videographers/video editors out there
