| Posted: 22 Nov 2011 05:05 PM PST  “Dramatic Modeling” – when I first saw this stated in my course syllabus, I had no idea what to expect. Were we expected to act? Were we expected to speak? Well, all of them were answered when the time came for that particular class. We were lucky to have Kelly Jagan, Ford Models Supermodel of the Year 2009, to be the guest instructor that night. The lanky lass is talented and can speak multiple languages including Mandarin and Cantonese. We were then briefed that dramatic modeling usually applies to shows for nail and hair, where big dramatic movements were made using our hands and body, just like dancing or acting in a mime.
Example of hair show (source)
Example of Nail show (source) Kelly was extremely fluid in her movements, walking and posing with her hands effortlessly and naturally without being over the top. I tried to mimic her movements but ended up looking very stiff and unnatural. Apparently, this would have been easier for someone who has dancing background, something that I don’t have. I found this class especially challenging for me, and all my movements appeared rigid and wooden. *sigh*
The very gracious Stephy My classmate Stephy was the star for this lesson, for she managed to move her hands gracefully and naturally, even for a first-timer! Wonder what’s her secret.

Practice makes perfect! To get an idea of what dramatic modeling is, watch the video by Kelly Jagan below. She started by demonstrating to us how to walk during a Nail show, and later on continued with a Hair show.

| Getting to Pangkor Laut Resort Posted: 20 Nov 2011 06:00 PM PST  Lately, it seems that beach holidays are the ‘in’ thing. Not wanting to miss out on the bandwagon, I booked a 3 day 2 night getaway to Pangkor Laut Resort for our 2nd anniversary. Yes, we’ve been married for 2 years now and it felt like forever. It was supposed to be a surprise to Saucer, so everything was planned discreetly, right up to the day of departure itself. I had informed him to make himself free for that particular 3 days, without letting him know where we were going to. Luckily for me, he’s not a curious person (unlike me!) and just followed my lead!
5-star Diamond Award Now many people might mistake Pangkor Laut Resort (PLR) with Pangkor Island, the more well-known counterpart. In fact, they are two very different islands that happen to bear similar names. Pangkor Laut Resort resides in a private island, occupying the whole island on its own and making it exclusive only to the patrons of the resort. That is to say that the access to this island is only allowed to resort guests and no one else. On the other hand, Pangkor Island is open to public.
The Pangkor Laut Resort check in office in Lumut After making the necessary reservations, we only had to make ourselves present at the check-in office at the stipulated time and let the resort staff take care of the rest. To get to PLR, one could either fly to Pangkor Island via Berjaya Air and take a boat to reach PLR, or one could drive, just like us. We drove to Lumut and parked our car at the multi-storey car park. The car park charged RM0.30/hour for every hour of the day, which meant RM7.20 for a full day of parking. From the car park, we made our way to the PLR check in office which was located at the corner unit of a shop house lot. Just look out for the signboard, it’d be quite hard to miss it.
Pangkor Laut Resort lounge in Lumut Once we got our names checked and reservation confirmed, our luggage was taken care immediately and we were seated at the lounge area with glasses of welcome drink (sparkling Ribena, I suspect). We were there 20 minutes before the scheduled boat departure, so we had some time to read the newspaper and enjoy our welcome drink.
Towards the jetty About 10 minutes before our scheduled departure, we were escorted by the staff to the jetty. For your information, the boat schedule is as follows:
Boats docked at the jetty We took the 11am boat and before long, we spotted it coming from afar. The boat ride was comfortable as we did not meet with any big waves on our way there. Within 30 minutes, we already spotted the sight of the Sea Villas on stilts, pretty gorgeous really.
Our boat to PLR
Safety first
To Pangkor Laut Resort we go!

The calm waters towards the resort When we’re near the PLR jetty, we could observe how the waters were emerald green in colour and very calm. It gave us a sense of peace just by being there. Coupled with the fact that this resort is private, so we did not get the usual holiday crowd.
The lobby from a distance I suppose what makes the trip to PLR so memorable is how hospitable the staff was, and how pampered we were. Right from the moment we checked in at Lumut, we were made sure that we’re comfortable and had everything we needed. And when we reached the PLR jetty, there was a group of resort staff standing by with cheery smiles, welcoming each of us individually as we stepped out of the boat. We felt like royalty!
The first sight of PLR
Walking towards the lobby Once we reached the lobby, each couple was assigned to a personal escort. Our escort by the name of Ben was most cheerful and friendly, talking to us with a genuine warmth that made us feel at home immediately. He briefed us through on what was available at the resort, the activities, the restaurants and the facilities. He even helped plan our itinerary for the 3-day stay there. “It wouldn’t be just a boring beach holiday after all,” said the relieved Saucer.
The calm green waters
The jetty at PLR Since our room was not ready yet, Ben took us for a short tour of the resort and showed us the gorgeous Sea Villas. Before long, it was time for lunch! And what perfect timing it was too, for it started to drizzle. Ah, that’s a story for another post. Til then, have a gorgeous Monday without the blues!

Welcome to Pangkor Laut Resort Pangkor Laut Resort |
| Posted: 19 Nov 2011 08:15 AM PST  A week ago, we were invited by Puma to go for a bowling event on a Friday night. It was ages since we last went bowling, so we put on our socks and bowling shoes, and were all geared up to bowl! The launch of Puma Social was held at Cosmic Bowl, Mid Valley where they introduced us the latest social sport – none other than bowling, of course. Entitled "Here's to the After-Hours Athlete", it paid homage to the champions of late night games such as foosball, ping pong, darts and arcade games, and applauded accomplished individuals who enjoy the smell of victory and the agony of defeat, whilst keeping track of their life's Scoreboard.
Puma Social Club
Here’s to the After Hours Athlete When we reached, we were randomly assigned to different groups by different-coloured wrist tags. Their intention was to mix us all up so that we get to play with new friends and start socializing. At first, I was not used to the idea of playing with complete strangers, but once we started playing, our goal was the same – to strike!

Getting ready to bowl with Caroline Halfway through the game, the emcee came and asked us to play a game of rolling the ball backwards. The one who scored the most pins would be given a prize. Guess what? Saucer won!

| Posted: 16 Nov 2011 05:38 PM PST  Who would have known, that less than 10 minutes from the city is a beautiful little Thai village nicely lit up at night? This is Paragon Thai Food Village, a gorgeous restaurant we accidentally passed by while we were driving around Cheras one night. The colourful and brightly-lit place was too attractive to ignore, so we gathered a few of our buddies and returned a week later to try their food.
Brightly lit Thai food village It was a rainy night, so the atmosphere was cool and the air was crisp. Just the perfect environment for spicy Thai food! The Mango Salad came in a pretty generous portion of shredded green mango on a bed of lettuce. Don’t underestimate this plate of salad though, it was superbly sour and spicy! Just perfect as an appetizer dish.
Mango Salad (RM10) Of course, how could we forget Thailand’s signature dish that is Tom Yam soup? The Tom Yam Seafood was served piping hot with burning charcoal within the fire pot. The soup was light but packed a punch! The first sip really sent me back to my senses with an explosively hot and fiery flavour. Within the soup, we found pieces of shrimps, fish fillets and calamari rings in addition to mushrooms and tomatoes. They certainly did not skimp on the ingredients. The more I drank this soup, the more addicted I was to it.
Tomyam Seafood (RM20)
More than just seafood Just like Tom Yam soup is a must-order dish for me, the Thai Style Lime Steamed Fish is a must-order for Saucer. If you think the Tom Yam soup was spicy, you haven’t tried this! The spiciness of this dish was a notch above the soup and it’s not for the faint-hearted. Each time I took a sip of the sour and spicy broth, I could feel it trickling down my throat all the way to my stomach, giving me a tingling hot sensation. It’s THAT spicy. On top of that, the fish we had was very fresh! Each piece was firm, smooth and flaky, you could tell even from the picture.
Thai Style Lime Steam Fish (RM30)
Flaky fresh and spicy! Since Caroline was not accustomed to spicy food, we ordered a plate of Pandan Chicken just for her.
Pandan Chicken (RM13) Last but not least, the typical Thai vegetable dish to order - Wok-fried Kangkung Belacan. Surprisingly, this was quite a big portion, more than enough to feed 4 of us! As with most of the other dishes we ordered, this was also spicy and savoury, perfect to go with the fragrant white rice. The hint of belacan was distinct and the addition of chilli made this all the more appetizing.
Wok-fried Kangkung Belacan (RM15) I won’t say that this is the best Thai food that I’ve ever tasted, but their food is mostly above average while their pricing is quite pocket-friendly. But more than everything else, the ambience made us feel like we’re out of the country. And that, my friends, is what makes this restaurant different.

Paragon Thai Food Village Directions: Along the East-West Link, head towards Cheras. Just before the Batu 9 toll, exit left (before a petrol station) and you’re nearly there. The restaurant is also near the famous badminton court The Challenger in Cheras. Paragon Thai Food Village |
| Posted: 14 Nov 2011 04:11 AM PST  There’s something about pretty coffee art that never fails to make me smile. To know that someone, a stranger really, has put in so much thought and patience in making something pretty just for you. Isn’t that such a nice and warm feeling? Well, you’d be happy to know that each cup of hot coffee in Coffee Chemistry Signature is prepared with much patience, effort and love. Oh yes, look at the love in every cup.
Share the It was my second time visiting the signature outlet in First Subang Mall, the first of which was to celebrate my birthday with my fabulous friends. Back then, I was sort of the centre of attention for the night, which meant my photos were being taken instead of the other way round.
Coffee Chemistry Signature’s menu The owner recommended us to have either a beer or fruit juice to start the meal, so I obediently asked for the Watermelon and Lychee Cooler. This came in a pretty ensemble, complete with a whole lychee perched on top of a watermelon slice. This tasted refreshingly sweet without being artificial (no sugar was added in the process) and went well with most of the savoury dishes we ordered that night too.
Watermelon & Lychee Cooler (RM7.90) Saucer had the Paulaner Dark beer, his favourite beer of all times really. Whenever we go for grocery shopping, he would stop by the beer section hoping to find bottles of Paulaner for sale, but he’d had no luck so far. So imagine his thrill when he saw this on the menu!
Paulaner Dark (RM22) & Heineken (RM15) Since I didn’t get the chance to try their food during my first visit, I made it a point to order some of their best-sellers, starting with the Soft Shell Crab Salad. This came with a whole soft shell crab, deep fried to a crispy finish without being oily. The crab was resting comfortably on a bed of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, onions and a whole boiled egg, making this a balanced and wholesome dish on its own. To bring this salad a notch higher, mix it with the spicy mango salsa sauce. Oh the sauce is brilliant – sour, spicy and sweet, gave this salad a unique taste.
Soft Shell Crab Salad (RM13.90) The Classic Roasted Lamb Shoulder with Au Juice is one of the many dishes that is only available in the Signature outlet and not the Cafe. The lamb was nothing less than tender and moist, drizzled with a mild jus that complemented the slight gamey taste well. After all, lamb would not be lamb if the signature gamey flavour is not there.
Classic Roasted Lamb Shoulder with Au Juice (RM26.90) My preferred main dish was the Pan-seared Black Cod Fish with Spicy Mango Salsa Sauce. I was pretty impressed to know that a cafe-style establishment is serving black cod, normally served in fine-dining restaurants. Unlike the normal cod, the black cod could cost up to twice the price of normal cod, but it tasted so much better. The fish was smooth, flaky and had the slippery melt-in-your-mouth texture that I just couldn’t get enough of. I blame it on the mango salsa sauce though, which was slightly sour and spicy, masking the fishy smell well and making it that much more desirable. My only gripe was that the portion of the fish was perhaps a tad small. Well, that meant I had to order something else to fill up the tummy.
Pan-seared Black Cod Fish with Spicy Mango Salsa Sauce (RM29.90) The Angus Beef Steak is a limited edition dish that is only available upon request. Since it’s not listed on the menu, this dish is recommended usually to regular customers, and only limited quantity is served daily. I was lucky to be able to share this with my fellow diners, and I found the medium-rare steak rather juicy especially in the middle. Although the edges were slightly overdone, the centre portion that was pink and flavourful managed to make up for it. If you find the steak too dry at the edges, well that’s what the delicious gravy is there for.
Angus Beef Steak (RM 45.90 for 180gm) – limited quantity available only
Drizzled with glorious brown sauce All of the dishes above were nothing compared to my new found love for this unique dish - Spicy Assam Fish Pasta. You read it right, it’s the first time I see Assam and Pasta in the same sentence, such that Saucer couldn’t resist to order it. And we definitely did not regret it, for this turned out to be the most memorable dish of the night. It arrived with a pungent smell, the type that gives you the appetite even when you’re already full, and had a generous amount of fish slices to boot! This was fusion at its best – sour, spicy and savoury pasta served together with deep fried fish slices. The aroma of curry leaves and curry powder were unmistakable, so much so that I’m salivating even as I’m writing about it. I never thought the combination would work so well. Bravo to the chef.
Spicy Assam Fish Pasta (RM15.90) Apart from the ala carte dishes, Coffee Chemistry Signature also offers value set lunches daily, consisting of a main dish and a drink. According to the chef, the most famous sets were the Assam Laksa and the Butter Herb Rice with Teriyaki Chicken. The Assam Laksa was a little too diluted for my liking (after having lived in Penang for almost 5 years), but the taste of the soup was not too far off from the Penang laksa. Apparently the presentation and flavour were tweaked to suit the taste of the locals here.
Assam Laksa (RM8.90) As for the Teriyaki Chicken, I had no complaints since the butter herb rice it was served with was most flavourful. The rice was generously mixed with Italian herbs, giving it such a nice fragrance that could be overpowering for some. But not for me, I loved it!
Butter Herb Rice with Teriyaki Chicken (RM8.90) To complete our meal, how could we forget their famous Affogato? A scoop of vanilla ice-cream topped with chocolate chips and then soaked with the rich Graffeo coffee resulted in nothing short of sensational. At the risk of not being able to sleep that night, Saucer couldn’t help but finish the whole cup, right to the last drop!
Affogato (RM9.50)
Cafe Latte (RM7.90) As for me, I settled for something a little milder, the Caramel Flavoured Cafe Latte, which came with a nice leaf. I always liked to check the coffee foam to see its texture and thickness, something I’ve learnt from the Illy Coffee Workshop last time. Much to my delight, the foam here was flawless. The microfoam was velvety smooth, without much air bubbles and it remained that way throughout the duration of my meal. What’s more impressive is their Graffeo coffee which was aromatic but not bitter. We did not have to use a single pack of sugar that night. And you’d be glad to know that I could still sleep soundly after this cup of coffee.
Caramel-Flavoured Latte (RM9.50) Now that I’ve tried some of the specialty dishes here, I’m happy to urge you to come not just for the coffee – try the food too!

| Samsung Galaxy Note’s Awesome Features Posted: 12 Nov 2011 04:28 AM PST  So 11.11.11 has just come and gone. What significance did they day bring to you? I spent it just like any other day, since to me, every day is special and unique on its own. S Pen Experience?S Pen, apparently, is not like any other stylus. It provides users with the ability to freely capture and sketch ideas wherever they are. I can go on and on about this amazing feature, but here are some of the reasons why this innovation is so useful. Do you remember the times when we used to take notes (either lecture notes or to-do lists, etc) by writing them on paper, and later wished that someone could transfer them to electronic form so that we can store them in our PC or notebook?
The S Pen Wonders of S Memo?I used to write pages of notes during classes last time, and ended up losing those papers simply because they were such a chore to manage! I always told myself to get organized and to type the notes nicely into the PC to avoid losing them but of course, I never got around to doing that. But now, I can write the notes onto the Galaxy Note, and there’s a function in S Memo that would Digitize my handwriting, converting my notes into legible and tidy electronic words! Can you imagine how wonderful this makes life? No more using of papers. No more worrying about losing the notes. And no more worrying about reading illegible words!
The many functions of S Memo For artists or comic bloggers, I can imagine that this nifty pen would be God-sent. I was watching the video below and saw how easily the person could draw and colour pictures on the spot. Gone were the days of painstakingly drawing using Paint and mouse.
Samsung Galaxy Note – the S Pen experience S Planner – Ditch your Diary!With the S Planner, there’s no need to carry the heavy diary around. Everything from appointments, tasks, important meetings, things to-do could now be recorded in the calendar, complete with colour-coding.
S Planner A Picture is Worth a Thousand WordsWith the amazing S Pen, it completely changes the way communication works. Just look at the illustration below, do you remember having a hard time telling people how to get to a certain place just by words alone? Save the words and start drawing! A picture is worth a thousand words.
Communication brought to the next level With so many benefits just from S Pen and S Memo alone, is it any wonder that the Samsung Galaxy Note is going to be the next best thing in the world of smartphone? For more features of the Samsung Galaxy Note, check out the following videos:

| Posted: 10 Nov 2011 05:22 PM PST  Situated just about 1 hour away from the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur in the town of Bukit Tinggi is this French-themed resort by the name of Colmar Tropicale, that is 2,700 feet above sea level. Inspired by the Colmar Village in France, this resort was built to look like a village when in fact, all the shop houses were really guest rooms, restaurants and amenities for the resort guests. It was our first time there and having reached just after noon, the place was warm even though it was on the hills.
Entrance to Colmar Tropicale, Berjaya Hills
The massive tower Since our room was not ready, we took the opportunity to take pictures of the colourful buildings, and felt like we were in a foreign country. Well, that is, if you don’t look at the people around.
Towards the resort
A fountain that greets you just after the entrance
Koi pond Many times we were told by friends that Bukit Tinggi was boring and that it wasn’t worth the time and effort driving up there. (The last 10km of the journey was actually rather winding.) But it really just depends on what your expectations are. Colmar Tropicale is a quiet and charming little resort, providing you the perfect place to relax, unwind, capture photographs and take in the fresh cool air. The village is actually quite small, just a few hundred metres long, so you would have walked the whole village to and fro within minutes.
French-themed design
Love the pink shutters of the rooms What I would say though, is that this is a place with plenty of photography opportunities. The colourful village itself is an open studio with countless of possibilities, not to mention the surrounding landscape such as the koi pond and the mini waterfall nearby. If that is not good enough, take the complimentary shuttle from the resort to the Japanese Village.
Mini waterfall

Photos in Colmar Tropicale The shuttle comes and leaves every 10 minutes or so, so we didn’t have to wait long. Since it was a weekend, it was naturally quite popular with tourists and locals alike. During our visit, there’s a part of the road leading to the Japanese Village that was under construction, so we had to walk up the final stretch on our own. It took about 10 minutes, but the path was pretty steep. It’s advisable if you brought water along, something we wished we had.
From the shuttle
Starting point of the walk up
The steep walk up If you know Saucer well, you would have expected him to be grumbling all the way up, since he hated walking steep paths or steps. Thankfully, the walk didn’t last long and we saw the signboard that we’re really near the Japanese Garden. The second part of the walk was a hike through the tropical forest, where we were surrounded by gigantic trees that were probably more than a hundred years old. There was also the peaceful sound of water flowing from the stream and waterfall within the forest, making the walk that much more therapeutic.

Saucer didn’t look too happy Finally, we saw the sign of the tea house! There was an option to learn the Japanese tea ceremony here, but we were told that it’s not worth the RM28 price tag by the person in charge there. She suggested that we drink the tea from the Japanese restaurant nearby instead.

One of Saucer and his pebbles By the time we’re done with Japanese Village, it was past 3pm and our room was ready. Even though I booked for a Superior Room, I was upgraded to a One-Bedroom Suite since they were our of King sized beds for the former type. The room was huge! It had a living area, a dining area, a bedroom, a dressing area and a large bathroom too. In fact, it was too big that it gave us a hollow and empty feeling when we entered.

Bathtub and basin To get a view of the size of Colmar Tropicale, we went to the end of the street and took the elevator to the highest level. It was quite a sight, really.
The whole of Colmar Tropicale For dinner, where else did we have if not for the one and only French restaurant there? La Cigogne is the most popular and expensive restaurant around, but if you compare the prices with the fine-dining restaurants in KL, it is still pretty reasonable. Furthermore, the other dining options in Colmar are not exactly cheap, with most restaurants averaging around RM20+ per main course.
La Cigogne
Romantic ambience The dining environment was romantic with dim, orange lighting and French music playing in the background. Service was impeccable too, intuitive and attentive. Our glasses of water were never empty, and our plates were only cleared when we’d completely finished our meals or when we asked them to. Dinner started with complimentary roll and butter, served warm with a crispy crust.
Bread and butter
Red wine (RM22) My order of Escalope came with salmon, shrimps and a plump scallop. The most commendable part was the salmon, which was pan fried to perfection. The skin was aromatic and crispy, while the flesh was oh-so-smooth and flaky it melted in my mouth!
Escalope of Salmon, Prawn and Scallop (RM48) As for Saucer’s Grilled Prime Rib Eye, it was a little overcooked even though we asked for medium doneness. I thought the cut was too thin, so the edges especially, were all well done. Thankfully the middle portion was still pinkish, the little saving grace for this dish. That, and the fact that this went well with red wine.
Grilled Prime Rib Eye Steak (RM48) We enjoyed the dessert the most, even though the price could be a little steep for such a small portion. The Chocolate Fondant was served hot to the palate with that unmistakable cocoa aroma that’s just begging to be devoured. Couple the melting hot chocolate with the freezing vanilla ice-cream and you’d never go wrong. Never.
Chocolate Fondant (RM22) At night, the street was all lit up, making it ever so romantic. Not to forget was the cool temperature once night came, hovering around 24C, it was natural air-conditioning.
Streets at night
Faceless man If you’re lucky and get clear skies, you might even be able to spot the bright and shining city far away in the clouds, the one we call Genting Highlands.
Is that UFO in the sky?
Night view of Colmar Tropicale, Berjaya Hills At night, there’s really not much to do in Colmar Tropicale. One could either take a walk up and down the street (something you must have done dozens of times before by then
The Chateau The next morning before we left, we drove past The Chateau, one of the latest Spa & Organic Wellness Resort in Bukit Tinggi. It was not open to public so we could only take a picture from outside. Look at how grand it is!
Doesn’t The Chateau remind you of a fairy tale castle? So if you ask me, is Bukit Tinggi a boring place to go? If you’re someone adventurous who expects a vacation to be filled with activities and fun things to do, then yes it’s boring. But if you’re looking for a weekend retreat to relax and immerse yourself with cool weather and fresh air, then this is the place for you. Never forget to admire the nature’s beauty even if it’s just clear blue skies.
Goodbye Bukit Tinggi, I’ll miss your blue skies Getting there: If you don’t fancy driving up, there’s a shuttle operating from Berjaya Times Square that departs to Colmar Tropicale daily. For more information on the schedule and price, check out their website. Colmar Tropicale, Berjaya Hills |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2011 05:15 PM PST  Good morning Thursday! I have been meaning to write about our trip to this place up in the mountains since a month ago, but there’s just always something else that came up. Here are some pictures taken from that trip, but I’m sure you would be able to guess where this was once you saw them. It’s a no-brainer!
The picture that gave it away
“Do you have food for me?”
Peek-a-boo! Stay tuned for more pictures very soon! |
| Posted: 07 Nov 2011 06:33 PM PST  Is it a phone? Is it a tablet? It’s the new Samsung GALAXY Note, finally coming to visit Malaysia soon! Do you remember watching this cute advertisement in the cinema about a noisy clucking chicken finally keeping quiet when it saw some very realistic eggs shown on a smartphone? Well, that’s the power of Super AMOLED Display in Samsung Galaxy S2, but the good news is, it’s going to be bigger and better in the 5.3″ screen of the Galaxy Note.
The AMOLED display of Galaxy S2 is also in Galaxy Note
5.3″ Super AMOLED Display in Samsung Galaxy Note Don’t you just love the size of the Samsung Galaxy Note? It’s big enough to watch movies without squinting your eyes, yet portable enough to be kept in the pockets! Just look at this video, I didn’t know that it’s even small enough to be kept in shorts.
The perfect size? One of the features that makes Galaxy Note stand out:
I suppose this feature is what makes the Samsung GALAXY Note as good as a Notebook!
Samsung GALAXY Note One of the biggest selling point for me as a blogger, is its 8MP camera. Isn’t it such a common problem with phone cameras giving poor quality photos that are noisy, grainy and blur? With the powerful camera feature in the Galaxy Note, you can capture the world's every moment in deep detail. Not to forget the power of AMOLED display, the picture taken would come alive with vivid colours too. Just thinking about it makes me want to grab a unit right now. I wasn’t aware that it has already reached Malaysian shores until I spotted some videos of “Unboxing the Samsung GALAXY Note” here! There is also one in BM version here. Are you tempted yet?
