After one mishap, another strikes me. Now I’m having a painful life with my ever growing Wisdom Tooth making its presence known to me. Oww… Still painful but at least its much tolerable than the preivous one where I had both teeth growing out for the first time and having a throat infection at the same time.

The pain was enough to make me cry at night.

Enough of my pain and daily rants, I can go on forever. Chef Wan has come out with another cooking book, Resipi Aidilfitri. It cost RM19.90 and its sold everywhere in Avon stores. For every book bought, RM1.00 is being contributed to the charity.

I am going to buy it. His books are extremely good but that’s not why I’m buying it. It’s because he had used RM100,000 from his own pocket to fund the book publishing. That warrants some reckoning. It’s the determination of his that convinced me to buy it apart from his good recipes. Hehehe…

Perhaps Chef Wan should pay me for advertising his books in my blog.. hahaha.. But then again, I am a fan of his recipes and books, so no cover charge there my dears. As you can see below is a synopsis of his webpage. AND…

He has some little recipes posted on his website!! Yahoo for me… its free by the way. So go-go and check it out!!

Last weekend was the famous and most happening event, TV3 Jom Heboh, held at Danga Bay. With all the advertisements and famous artists sworn to turn up for the concert and well known Malaysia celebrities representing their advertisers, it was certainly an event to go to.

Unfortunately the organisers didn’t manage the event quite well since they have over looked the fact that the way to Danga Bay is too restricted where you only have 2 lanes allocated to both directions. In other words, heading to Danga Bay and going out of there is pure hell. I was smart and lucky enough to take the public transport, bus, but even that at 11am the jam on Sunday had started from Angsana Plaza.

Bad, real bad.. And that was only at 11am. The traffic was at bumper to bumper and the lanes that was at the bridge, heading out to JB was used by impatient drivers to drive to Danga Bay. Cars were seen parked at bridges, MARDI office and RAT Auto. It was jam packed with people.

The organisers should plan the roads out well. They should have consulted with the local authorities to lessen the traffic impact and the chaos of irresponsible drivers. No doubt the car parks are aplenty but the roads leading in and out of the place is too constricted. Imagine if there is a need of emergency, and the help can only arrive in 2hrs time, thanks to the traffic jam.

In the end, I didn’t go to Danga Bay even though it was planned out by me as one of the places I would crawl to on that weekend. In fact, my darling and I stayed true to our lag outings like catching the movie, Made of Honor (there were couples heavily making out!!), eat and sit.. and eat some more and..

I managed to get Chef Wan recipe book. Muahaha… I got his Chef Wan Sweet Treats!! Thanks to my darling since he paid for it.. hehehe… I’ve read the book already and I’m extremely excited about my findings. Will share the info with you ladies as soon as possible.

So anyway I’ll be resorting to cybercafe at the moment while my pc heads to operating theater and get a new graphics card and power supply. Total cost RM270.. I’m gonna be broke if this keeps up.

So much for your advice Abang.. I forgot to tell you that my motherboard is the one of the latest old models that doesn’t have a PCI EX slot!!!! grr… RM20.00 my foot…

Last Sunday, I went out for dinner with my darling, which was why some complained I didn’t return their calls and sms. As if my six days per week devotion to work and family is not enough, must sacrifice my Sundays along.

So anyway didn’t do much except walking around at Sungai Segget area which my darling still haven’t had time to explore due to his busy schedule. Had dinner at Vivo restaurant in City Square which I will never step foot again. The food was horrible, my fish and chips were too oily and you can see the fish is still soaked with oil. The Oreo cheesecake was too bland that I didn’t manage to finish it (surprise.. cheesecakes are usually my favourite). I’m not going to bother talking about their service. It’s terrible, really terrible.

Anyway I decided to end my curiosity in the old shopping mall that used to be a hit with the locals about a decade ago, Kota Raya. Unfortunately for them, they still remain that old nostalgic feeling and the ambiance and design is still sadly, 15yrs ago.

Even though the place is old and never have once be redecorated and reconstructed, I was quite surprise to find recipes book written by well known chefs like Chef Wan in the almost dilapidated bookstore. But since the price was quite out of my budget, I left with an unsatisfied feeling. I need to get that Chef Wan recipe book!!
