Lunch at Snake Temple

Two days ago, someone suggested going to the Snake Temple for lunch. I have been working here in Penang for over a year and i never even knew that there's a little eatery operating from a small coffee shop directly opposite the snake temple. And the snake temple is veryyy near to my office too..lol.

Pinkcotton's Guide to eBay Shopping

I think i can be considered a very late adopter of eBay shopping. When so many people around me have been bidding like crazy on eBay since time eternal, i'm a little embarrassed to say that i've only started like around 1 month ++ ago. Since, i've had a few friends asking me how do i bid on eBay and such (seems like i'm not the only newbie after all :D), i decided to write a brief guide on bidding on eBay.

My experience with pretty ladies

During the weekend I had 2 experiences with 2 different pretty ladies. Lol.

First one:
On Friday night, I was in the cinema and a pretty slim lady walked into our row and sat next to me. When the movie started, I saw her putting up both her legs on the chair and I smelled something smelly. The smelly foot smell. Keke. At first I didn't think it was her but when she moved a bit i could smell another whiff. Fooh! And when she laughed, I smelled smelly mouth smell! Wth! Luckily for me the 2 seats next to us was empty, so we switched over. Keke.

Second scenario:
Last night while having dinner at a coffeeshop, I saw a young pretty lady who was well groomed and quite pretty. And she sat in the table next to ours. Suddenly I saw her take out a pack of cigarettes and i was like oh nooooooo bcos I normally don choose to sit next to a table of smokers. Well, the pretty petite young lady smokes! And in the aircond section of the coffeeshop too! I was pretty pissed

So there! Guys out there, don't judge a book by it's cover. A pretty face doesn't mean everything. Lol

New Fav Japanese Place for Sushi-Sakae Sushi

Uhoh...ive been ignoring my blog again. I have some product review to post but after taking photos, i'm just too lazy to get my lazy butt off the sofa to blog :( It seems that i only have motivation to edit my food pics...hahahaha.

Recently, we just fell in love with Sakae Sushi. I know it is nothing to shout about compared to some true blue gourmet japanese restaurants that you have to pay an arm and a leg or maybe another arm to eat there...the accessability and price of sakae sushi just appeals to us

JL Gourmet @ Prangin Mall

When you talk about JL Gourmet, you think about the mushroom soup. The mushroom soup is really superb!

OPI Drip Dry (my first purchase from ebay!) [Girly Review]

I always cannot sit still and do nothing after i finish painting my nails. While i'm waiting for my nails to dry, suddenly my forehead will itch or my fringe will poke into my eye...and i will be scratching or touching this and that and in the end i will end up with smudges and nicks on my nail polish :((( not cool

So i started looking around for some solution and found the OPI Drip Dry. I asked the local OPI spree-ers from lowyat.net and she quoted me RM36 for the 0.3oz bottle (not including local postage!). And that's where eBay comes in!

Baked Whole Chicken Leg

I try to make it a point to cook a "special dish" on Sundays. "Special" as in something that will take me longer than 45 minutes to prepare...lol. So i got the idea to bake one whole chicken leg for each of us last Sunday and this is how it turned out to be

Sarawak Laksa in Penang!

Yeah! you heard me right! I had sarawak laksa for breakfast today...in Penang! :D I bet most of you Kuchingites who stay in Penang would be dying to know where right? Lol. When i uploaded the photo to my facebook this morning, almost immediately few of my Kuchingite friends asked me where is the stall. I guess we Kuchingites really love our sarawak laksa.

The stall is at the Sim Food Court (Medan Selera Sim) which is within the Kampung Gedung Apartment.

Durian from Jalan Tengah

It is now the durian season again in Penang! :) Where else to buy superb durians other than from Balik Pulau right? But then this year, we are just too lazy to drive all the way to Balik Pulau to eat durians :P

Because now, we can buy balik pulau durian from Jalan Tengah itself!

The durians are supposedly from Poh Beng Estate of Balik Pulau. We have bought durians twice from the uncle and they seem ok both times. And the uncle will even "replace" your durian for you if there are any bad durians when he opens it. lol

durian lovers, feast your eyes...

oops it is almost August, i believe the durian season is ending soon! must go grab some durians!

So i started searching the internet and lo and behold, the hand mask exists!!! lol
