ABP 2007



Ada tengok ABP2007 last night? I think generally it was ok, soooooo much better than Anugerah Era. the hosts kak ogy and azura, memang ada kalnya agak over but overall they did make me laugh. Persembahna pun agak ok I rasa, except si atilia tu, apa ke bende nya.....patut pakai lipstick ada color sket (very lah d lina hangat with brown lipstick), padahal aku sugka sgt dgn atilia ni, i think she has great voice, maybe anuar zain's song too big for her kan.



But si bob AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! dan Anuar Zain, I'm so falling in love with him!!!!!!!!!! so sos sos sossoss ooooooooooooooooooooooo GOOD!!!! Si Siti for opening act, me likey, lawa dia menari (agak besar juga ya bhgn punggungnya) but with siti, dengan mukanya boleh cover kecacatan lain. Ning baizura for closing aku suka as well, mcm kylie minogue kan. But what the heck with the black labah-labah with mouth mask!!!!! Initially ok lah, but banyak kali si labah-labah hitam menerpa berlari ke pentas, nasib baik si ning tidak kena langgar!!!!



BUt yg PALINg entah hapa hapa, si Mayfirst lah!!!!!! bapa angkat si sofea!!!! BTW, Dynas looks sooooo good kan!!!!!! si pasha (aku menyampah), si faouziah ghous kesian langsung tak digambar dan appear di skrin.



Si kak Liza hanim, which by the way, lawa sgt dengan kurus dia kan (aku mau kurus macam liza hanim!!!!!!)_\ memang merdu lah suara but tolonglah,,,,.....kenapa banyak sgt mimik muka nya tu, sampai i terpaksa tutup mata to enjoy the song otherwise lalai aku menengok cebikan mukanya tu.



The otai rockers ok lah, i expect more from them, apa guna buang masa kasi himpun 5 org setakat 1 lagu ja. but si amy search and ramli sarip juga lah angkat. Aku kurang berkenan yg part akhir yg semua mengilai mengikut kekuatan suara masing-masing...aku tak paham.



Bahagian presenters, tolong lah, the best aku rasa geng Fauziah Latiff, sangat very the academy/oscar gitu kan, taka ada lawak2 bodoh or kata-kata merapu, terus ja announce ...."calon-calon bagi kategori.........". Itu baru lah Kelas!!!



Ok itu ja pendapat 2 sen i.....hehehehe

Cupcakes and a reluctant birthday girl....

Hello u ol, happy happy monday. How's everyone weekend? Whimsy's weekend spent in Keningau, we had to go via the old Tambunan-KK roda, which took 2 and 1/2 hours compared with the new Kimanis road (1 and 1/2 hrs). The new road is still being repaired since the part (remember in my previous posting, I showed a stretch which is still not sealed),is badly damaged due to the recent heavy rain and is unpassable. Nia's 11th (or 10?) birthday celebrated with Macademia White Choc Cake and cupcakes. Above is the reluctant birthday girl. She was down with terrible flu and literally had to be dragged to blow candle and pic session (lol!!)
Above are the bday cakes (which had been poked by my shopaholic nephew...)

My pride and joy....cupcakes. I didn't bake the cupcakes Min, i just do the 'downstream' proses lol!!! Bought the cakes readymade (4 for RM3.50) and decorate it with creamcheese,condensed milk and butter icing. Had fun coloring and decorating the cuppies. Whimsy was helped by 2 helpers, Fay the Mrs Claus and santa helper, the shopaholic boy.

Hello my Dears

Good morning my dears, whimsy woke up early, 5.18 am!!!!! This amazing Mount Kinablu view is taken from my balcony...wht a view kan. Tonic to the weary soul...




These pic have no connection with the mt kinabalu pic (lol!!!!) Those are old fashioned but timeless cookies, named as kueh tambun. I didn't bake those (obviously). What tickle my funny bone is the label on the box - "best taken when fresh" . hello hello, define fresh kan. it was manufactured in Penang, packed in KL, then delivered to Sabah, do the maths, how many days/weeks for the kueh tambun to reach a hungry mouth. Does it consider as still fresh....(sorry people, i ll cut short my nagging on this glorious morning).
Take care u'ol, I'm off to Ranau for outstation.

Blue and White...anyone?




Hi u ol, how are everyone doing? Today is undescribable....the only way to sum up today is ??????!!!!!!. Does it make u feel sad when supposedly matured and knowledged people who are entrusted and paid by taxpayers money purposely failed to discharged their duties? when people start using race and religious sentiment to pursue one's agenda!!!it does make one wanted to puke eh...I sometimes remembered ages ago when I was young (lol!!!!), just graduated with full of energy and zest to change the world to be a better place (!!!!!!), and u thought u can make a difference. But, what a sad sad realization it is to finally dawn upon you, that the very people (so called leaders), who are entrusted with these task, fails u. Do u'ol think money can buy people? Money can buy judgement? What is the value of one's self? I failed to answer these questions. I know one does not have the right to judge others (I m so guilty of judging), but still...maybe there is HOPE......uhuk uhuk sob sob


On to a merrier notes, i bought 3 blue and white "kudutan" (plates) frm shabby aryani, people they are ggorgeous!!!!!!they really are made from England, not china ooooooo. I wanted to buy the whole lot, but since I m on a budget so, forget it .......sob sob sob. I'll post the pic of d kudutan later k. Coincidently (?) last weekend I stumbled upon the blue n white apron, is it FATE? Am i destined to buy the 3 kudutan?hehehehehehe


Take care u'ol, thank you for reading my ramblings. I feel much better now.
P/s i v updated the 3 plates with apron as background.

Last night had dinner at the new Thien Thien Restaurant (branch) in Putatan.I ordered the chicken rice (i was teringin after re-reading sri's chicken rice in karambunai) and beansprouts. I arrived at the shop around 5.30 pm and got the whole shop to myself...Rating is 2 star out of 10. the chicken was not as crispy as the one at the main branch in Jalan Pantai, the 'kicap' a bit salty, the rice is crumbly. I think in a chicken rice, what make the rice "uumph" is the rice o. For me it should be hot and a bit soft (lichak) and fragrant. Baru lah ada ummph!!!! Sri pls try the watan ho ah and give your review.
Happy eating u ol. Today Brothers and Sisters Channel 711, 10:00 pm. Me likey the drama.

Tomato..anyone?




I m so proud of my tomatoes. Planted this tomato about 3-4 months ago in a medium sized pot. It grew and grew and flowers but no fruit in sight. I had resign to the fact that this is a "barren tomato", and decided to chop it off next week, but lo and behold! last nite when i was watering my long beans, saw a tiny round thing hanging from the branches...yes people my "barren tomato" finally decides to bear fruits!!!!!!! there is another tiny baby tomato on the right branches (u have to click the pic to be able to see it). I m gushing with joy and happiness at this lovely sight.
A friend once told me that sometimes we have to "distress" plants when they refuse to bear fruit. I was complaining abt my tomato and ciku tree to him. 'Distressing" means to give the plants a distress environment (?), for example to tie the plant with ropes tightly (but this is quite cruel eh..) or to water them less. I opt for the latter but it was not done intentionally, i was meaning to let it die naturally...I guess his tips on "distressing" plants worked! Yeayyy!!!!
Any idea on what to do with the first fruit?

Friday yay!!!!!!



Yours truly is currently very very into agatha christie books.


Bought in Signature, initially it was RM19.90 for 2 books. but tiba-tiba last 2 week s it was sold RM10.00 for 3 books!!!! but i was so scared the cashier salah jual, i bought 9 books only. Should have bought all 30 books!!!!!! sayang o sayang o. yesterday went to check again, but the price now is RM19.90 per book! I simply adore UK authors o, very witty and jokes are subtle but sangat menyucuk hati. These books are very light and comes handy for outstation (waiting for flight at the airport). The "staring" in agatha christie books are the famous Hercule Poirot and his sidekick Captain Hastings. Ada juga Agatha Christie series where the detective is Miss Jane Marple (remember the tv series ages ago - Murder She Wrote? if i'm not mistaken it was based on Agatha Christie's Miss Marple). To date i only have 27 agatha christies (HINT:A VERY GOOD BIRTHDAY GIFT TO YOURS TRULY kan..wink, wink )


happy friday u ol

Ugghhhhh


Sri jgn terkejut with the picture.very 'un english' kan. Its actually a barge to carry huge items that cannot be carried by small boats. its usually used to ferry building materials, lorries etc. This pic was taken in Semporna en route to Pulau Bum-bum. The barge is moving ever so slowly...slower than a snail. Amazing eh engineering feat ke??
Today i had a silly silly silly discussion with a very irritating person ( a certain wak). why o why so many acting and beating round the bush?why pretend to be holy but in actual fact a "ghost'(hehehe). I feel like putting him on the barge and ship him to open sea to be eaten by shark!
