Souvenirs from Bangalore, India

Mum just got back from Bangalore, India as she accompanied her niece, Prof. Dr Noriah of UKM whom was attending the 25th Ramayana International Conference... It was held in Mysore, a little city in India...

- Thx to my dear Fendy for helping her with her seat :)

I expected a whole lots of stuff once she's back, but as India is such a 'humble city' so what could i expect la kn... She brought some wonderful sarees, though... Ada la jugak, knn... Just to share some stuff that she got...

I got 2 pairs of saree from her... The pic below is silk, that cozt her around RM 200.00.. The material is so fine and the colour is so amazing.. But this pic was taken without flash, as i want it to look natural.. As usual, it's pink 4 me...

Lately, she's been in love with BELLs so much... So she brought this hanging bell thingy... Nice kn? Siap pusing lagi... But it's for decoration purposes only.. Xde bunyi pun... The one next to it makes noise whenever the wind blows...

As much as Mum's craze over bells, i just have this craze towards Fridge Magnets, lately... I expected her to get a load of FM 4 me as i planned 2 distribute among my collector friends... Unfornately she couldn't find any as it wasn't a tourist place that she was at... Thank goodness she got one from a friend - its a pic of Bangalore Palace, India...

She got several beautiful cushion cover which she planned to give some friends but we told her to just keep it for home use... hehhehehe...

An 'after mint' from the plane - its something that Indian will chew after meal...

Indian delights...

Some Fragrant Incense Sticks @ setanggi..

Of coz, she didn't bring home this... Its their meal over there...
It's vegetarian...

Result Show of Sehati Berdansa

Once again I stepped my feet at Studio 1 of Astro. This time was for Debaran Sehati Berdansa (the first one was for Malam Sehati Berdansa's recording). It was a last minute thingy when suddenly Maizan called me and said that her rep couldn't make it...

Apparently she couldn't make it 2, so if Nana & Sein (the celebrity representing KL & Selangor Albanism Association (KLSAA) ) we be eliminated, xkan xde representative... (even I had the feelings they woun't :) And it wouldn't be a good gesture towards the society & Astro... Understanding her role as President of the Society, I made myself available...

So I immediately change my plan and made my way 2 Astro. But i arrived a little late, about 20 minutes before the show starts... Cian Akma, the staff incharge... She was so anxious till I arrived...

This was captured during the commercial break from my seat... All the couple were nervous esp. for Sazzy as she cuddled tightly to her hubs, Nash... Chumellls...

At this moment, I prayed hard and crossed my fingers so that Sein & Nana could stay as I kinda feel not rite going up to receive the checque.. A bit absurd as i've nothing to do with the society... hehhehe... Thank goodness they could stay, and another thing was, at least the society could get more fund...

This was the final part after Awal announced about the SB masuk thingy...

This is Janet and Datin Rohani of Persatuan Parkinson... Sat next to them.. Dorang ni sangat gigih mengundi... Such a spirit...

Finally, I told myself I don't mind x dapat amek pic with rest as they are very strict.. Giving so many reasons... Dorang ada photo shoot la.. Apa la... Please la.. Macam la I xtaw that they want 2 clear the place ASAP... Hahhaha... But, yang penting I got to take pic with Awal... Lallallaa... Jangan marah yea, cik Ayu the Sun.... Larikkkkkk....

But all in all, i'm glad that I was given the opportunity 2 do something, for a good course... For charity... Thanx Maizan... Mwahhhsx...

Dinner at Nasi Kandar Padang Kota, KD

Had dinner at Nasi Kandar Padang Kota of Kota Damansara outlet... Ok, not too bad.. Just wanna share what we had... Ada free wifi lagi :)

The food display really caught our attention to dine dekat sana... It had large bowl and lots of kuah-kuah...

When we got there, this chicken baru diangkat from the pan... It looked so good as it was still fresh.. So, hubs decided to have nasi kandar with fried chicken, telur sotong (yang eksotic bak kata Hannah) and cabbage... Plus papadom...

This was it... All in all, it was ok... We're not really sure how to grade it, but just put it this way - to be compared with Line Clear / Kayu Nasi Kandar / Kassim Mustaffa, etc... of coz la sgggt x setanding... They are way much better...

But still better than the typical ones at Shah Alam neighborhood, such as Darul Ehsan, Khalifah, Khulafa, Ali Corner, etc...

As for me, I wanna have 'Kacang Pool' but since it was out of stock, I tried the LAMB STEW... 2 nos Lamb Shanks served with bread and sangat crispy... It's must try dish for any lamb lovers out there... Sangat sedapppp... Could feel all the spices n black pepper...

But for those yang ellergic with lamb, plase avoid this one... Strictly!!!

Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks

This outlet had been in town for years... One of the outlet is at Bukit Bintang, luar Low Yat Plaza... It's HALAL but kitorang yang was-was... So we dare not eat it... Nowdays, dah bukak lebih banyak outlet, such as in Ikano (next to steamboat), Pyramid, Lot Yat n more... But this one is in Subang Parade...

It also appear to be in a more proper manner and hygenic... Furthurmore, they managed to portray a more convincing halal image...

The concept is more to a Hawker's / kiosk... So it's not like a restaurant but more to a stall thingy... with stool n little table for people to eat and go...

The foods are mostly snack items... But it's heavy enough for me :D

This is the best selling item... Its called Crispy Chicken... It's crispy and spicy... Apparently, it's white meat (breast) but the texture is so soft, i happend to tolarate it, even i don't fancy white meat, as i'm more to thigh and drumstick type of person...

But the meat x la rasa 'sabut'... Furthurmore, white meat is actually the healtiest part of the chicken as it doesn't contain too much fat... Hhhahhaa... hope i bear that in mind!!!

This is the handmade oyster mee sua... Sedappppp... Loved it so much... Nak2 lagi when u add the sambal... But hubs didn't like it as he x take those oysters... As for me, as long as the oysters are not raw, it should be ok... N also loved the shreaded chickens... Yummy.... Rated # 1 katanya.... So, supposed to be good la, kn... I guess it does...

This is the egg crepe with Chicken floss filling... A must try item for Chicken Floss lovers... The crepe is crispy while the chicken floss mmg sedap... A bit spicy though...

While we were eating, hubs got a call from his BFF, Edil who happened to be having dinner with his family in Sushi King... His cute bundle of joy is Ayeesha... Isn't she adorable???

Recording of Sehati Berdansa

I was given the opportunity to accompany my dear friend, Maizan Salleh to the recording of Sehati Berdansa which took place at Studio 1 of Astro, few weeks ago. At first, I was quite surprise that Maizan asked me to come along with her to Astro, nak nak lagi Sehati Berdansa, as it was so not like her...

Rupanya, she was there as the President of KL & Selangor Albanism Association (KLSAA) which was represented by Nana & Sein Ruffedge... So, every recording perlu lah ada wakil from the society... I was glad that she invited me and it was such an experience for me... Apparently I didn't take banyak pics as i normally did, due to some reason and consequences...

As we got there, we sat at the reserved seats written 'chariry Sein'... Those seats are for Charity bodies representatives and families... As for the Fan Clubs and supporters, they will have to stand by the side of the stage...

This pic was taken before the final dance of the contestance... As usual la recording, banyak cut n paste thingy.. Thank goodness they didn't have to repeat many times...

Coincidently, during this episode was supposed to be Aznil Nawani's birthday. He happened to be one of the guest judges for the episode...


So each and everyone (supposingly la) of the guest dapat cuppies... But it was more to a 'sapa cepat dia dapat' concept... I sort of needed to berebut to grab it... But it was the last 2... Just nice for me n Maizan...

But it was worth the rebut coz the cupcake memang sedap.... The fudge wasn't too sweet... N the texture was soft, yet chocolatey... Tak terasa baking soda sgt2 as how normal cuppies does...

Ya ampunnns!!! perlukerrr gue buat food revies gak dalam entry ni??? hehhehehe.... Well, guess I just can't help it laa....

with Fahrin Ahmad...

with Scha...

Gosh! she was just so sweet, tall, slim, n feminine... Way different with her character in Awan Dania :D -And, I loved her outfit.....

with Awal... the co-host...

Watching things live before your very own eyes is really different from watching on TV... Dalam TV, semua pun sangat indah n perfect... The best thing was, i didn't even got the chance to watch this on TV as i had to attend a friend's reception...

All in all, it was great to watch the recording... Thanx to Maizan for inviting me...

And thanx a lot for the lovely gift... I've always loved the sweet scent of rosses to freshen the air... Thanx again for both... And, thanx for being such a wonderful frind of mine, since we were in Secondary 2... Mwahhhsxxx...

ps :

dalam pada 2, sempat gak imagine what if Dafi join Sehati Berdansa.. Provided he had to be married 1st la... M sure DFC akan 'membanjiri' Astro saban minggu... That will take like years to go... Before my imagination goes wilder, i'd better run for my life.....

1 2 3... larikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...................
