53rd Merdeka.

Happy Independence Day, Malaysia!


This cab is very patriotic, but not very wise to put up a pole on your vehicle like that because it can just fly off and hit other cars on the road, innit? Very, very dangerous. Snapped on the KESAS Highway, 2 days prior today.

Big Brother Restaurant & Grill.

On Saturday, hubs and I went for break fast at Big Brother Restaurant & Grill since we've been reading lots of promising reviews over the net. One comment that stuck in my head was,

"Big Brother is a hidden gem."

So it has to be good, right?

Located at The Strand, Kota Damansara, it was easy to find. I had the Grilled Chicken Chop (RM13.90) and Spaghetti Seafood Marinara for the hubs (RM16.90). I didn't take any photos, we were too famished to even bother. The chicken chop portion was decent, but the taste was very ordinary, really. The seafood marinara had a generous serving of pasta, mussel, prawn and calamari, BUT the dish was super duper oily, you could mistake it for gravy. Despite all the oil, hubs kind of enjoyed his meal, but I can't say the same for myself. I was quite disappointed. And on our way out, we overheard a man complaining to the waiter about his food being too salty.

The next morning, I woke up with a very unhappy tummy. I ran to the toilet for about 5 times, not that I was counting. The best part was the elevator at the condo seemed to stop at every darn floor when I was ready to burst in my pants (okay, too much detail). I'm assuming it was something I had at Big Brother, because I only had the chicken chop for break fast and Maggi for sahur, and I doubt it was the Maggi that gave me the upset tummy.

So, there you go. It is safe to say that I won't be paying them another visit. Not anytime soon, anyway. But please bear in mind, this was only my experience and opinion. I may have a weaker stomach and a different taste bud from others.

Bumbo Seats On Sale.

I made a quick run to Babyland SS2 this morning, and saw the discount on the Bumbo Seats, which is RM100 off! (retail price is RM249). So it's only RM149 now. Offer ends 31st August 2010. Go go go!


Yeap, he's too big for a Bumbo Seat now. And no, I'm not getting any commission out of this.

Random 002: Why, Hello Blog!

Yes, I've abandoned you for a few weeks now. Truth is, I've been quite busy. A number of freelance jobs came in (Alhamdulillah) that kept me very much occupied (and don't even get me started on the baby). I even pulled an all-nighter, which I haven't done since my agency days. Okay fine, I did pull a lot of all-nighters during my confinement period, but that's not work-related now is it?

Apart from being busy, I've also been lazy. Lazy to open you up and start drafting an entry. But here I am anyway, making a quick one. So please tak nak merajuk, okay?

Silly photo sessions were compulsory when dealing with stress, challenging clients, tight deadlines and late nights in the office. It's good for the soul.

Oh, I know this is a tad late, but happy fasting to all Muslims! :D
