Slow. Testing 123.

Jeez, am having difficulty logging in to Gmail and Blogger, and I wonder if is Google's problem or mine... Was about to update another post actually but it was too slow, thus I decided to wait for few more moments. Anyway, I'm testing this to check if things are back to norm. Hopefully everything will get better real soon and heck, I so dislike slow web traffic. :(

Weekend Dinner + Lunch Buffet

Had a great Saturday with my Special where we went to Vogue Cafe, Renaissance Hotel to have a complimentary dinner buffet for two. Had quite a number of raw food such as oysters, prawns and sashimi as starter and it's delicious although we felt that the oysters weren't that fresh enough. Thank goodness none of us had tummy upset! And as for other foods, I liked the sirloin steak lots as it tasted real good. The soup was nice too as it had a nice aroma of cheese + milk and perhaps a bit of sour cream. Pardon me as I've kinda forgotten the name of the soup. Been kinda forgetful lately, hee... Anyway, the dessert section was pretty good although we strongly feel it should have more varieties. Still, I enjoyed the strawberries, cakes and pudding, and I gotta say I enjoyed it even more as my Special's right there with me.

On Sunday noon, my family and I went to Lemon Garden, Shangri-la to attend my god-bro's birthday lunch. The food was great and it's pretty similar with Renaissance although there were much more of varieties. I had raw food for starter again - oysters, prawn and sashimi (yup that's my buffet trend :D) and after two rounds, I took some cooked food and Mmmm... the fried prawn rolls were so darn good. And the steak too!! And guess what, for the first time in my life, I had chocolate pizza! Yup, you heard it right, chocolate pizza with lots of chocolate and walnuts. Well, the taste was pretty strange at first but after indulging it for a while, it tasted really good. Will definitely post the picture of it soon! :)

And after the lunch buffet, I went to see my Special and I gotta say spending time with him so wonder-wonderful . We went to Bukit Jalil park for a walk (it's good to burn calories after all the buffet, tee-hee) and yep, I enjoyed strolling and walking with him, and we even had ice-cream. And in the evening, we had delicious Claypot Frog Porridge and also, we went back to his place to watch a Chinese movie 'Eye in The Sky' starring Simon Yam. :D

I guess I really need to undergo detox session this whole week (after indulging all the food) hehe... :P

Sweet Holidays

My Special and I spent our holidays together and I gotta say it's so very sweet and lovely.

13/10/07, Saturday

On Saturday afternoon, we went to Gardens and Mid Valley (to walk around and do some shopping) and later in the night, we went back to his place to watch Planet Terror and had a lovely supper. Lovely is because we made it together (my Special did the meat while I prepared the soup) and the chicken burger turned out really good. In fact, it's so much healthier as it contained lesser oil and I tried to built it as tall as possible by putting in thick slices of tomatoes and cucumbers. And wahey, it looked so much bigger than Big Mac! :P

14/10/07, Sunday

And on Sunday (as I slept over at his place), we had our breakfast at around 10 am and had another round of tasty chicken burger with hot drinks. Yup, my Special did the meat and ahh... seeing him flipping them is so cool. Too bad my camera phone isn't that clear. If yes, I'd have surely took a few pictures of him and even video-cam him live, tee-hee... :p

And as for lunch, we decided to change things a bit by having noodles and honey chicken meat. Although the honey aroma wasn't that strong, still it's enough to have a good sweet taste and yes, it's lovely. And how could I forget my Special's mom freshly baked chocolate cakes. Mmm.... yummy!

After lunch, we watched another movie which was Death Proof and it's an okay movie although we think Planet Terror's much better. Still it's nice as we sat on his relaxing armless red couch and watched it together.

As for dinner, his lovely mom cooked and yup, I gotta say it's yummy and delicious. And the soup... Mmmm... totally refreshing!

Later in the night, we watched another movie but this time, we decided to pick something light so we watched Flushed Away. It's a great, funny and entertaining movie and at some parts, we just couldn't stop laughing as it's too hilarious. And one more thing... I love how my Special interacted with the cute cheery snails at the end of the movie. Tee-hee! :D

Shaklee Herbal Blend Multi-Purpose Cream

Allergy attacked me few days ago again and as a result, I was suffering from itchy rashes or also known as hives and darn, it caused me much discomfort indeed. I couldn't really sleep at night even though I applied some Calamine lotion which my doc gave. I had double doses of Vitamin C, still it didn't work well. And after trying some other cream and lotion, Mel suggested I tried Shaklee Multi Purpose Cream which she bought few months ago. I was kinda skeptic eventually and since there was nothing that could ease my itch, I applied the cooling cream on my rashes and went to bed. And ya know what, the itch started to lessen and I felt so much better. I slept through the night (despite having to re-applied second time) and when I woke up in the morning, the rashes totally disappeared. Yes, I was delighted.

And since the cream is so so good, I did some research on the web and here's some interesting information I've found.


The Shaklee Difference
*Taken from http://www.shaidsnews.com/Gruber_Kathrine_51.htm

Clinically tested Herbal Blend Multi-Purpose Cream soothes, softens and promotes healing of dry, cracked feet or skin anywhere on the body. This emollient-rich formulation with cooling oil of wintergreen and menthol seems to take the ache right out! What relief for hot, tired feet—and what a delightfully fresh mountain-air scent!
Herbal Blend Multi-Purpose Cream is made from pure extracts of natural soothing herbs including matricaris, sage, coltsfoot, restharrow, horse chestnut, horsetail, yarrow, rosemary, dandelion and althea along with menthol and witch hazel.
Non-greasy Herbal Blend Multi-Purpose Cream penetrates into the skin, softening dry, rough skin. Clinical tests have proven that with two daily applications... morning and night... feet are less prone to dryness, roughness, redness or scaling.

While you’ll love Herbal Blend Multi-Purpose Cream for your feet, you won’t believe what else this amazing product will do. Try it for:

* sunburn
* insect bites and other minor skin irritations
* chapped hands
* blisters
* athlete’s foot
* small sores
* psoriasis
* as a foot deodorizer
* warts, cysts and scars
* hemorrhoids
* soreness from arthritis, rheumatism or bursitis
* on the forehead for sinus headaches
* bunions
* canker and cold sores or fever blisters
* rub just below nose to moisten nasal cavities
* sore throats (rub on the neck and on the soles of your feet)
* eczema
* poison ivy or poison oak
* muscle aches from overexertion or exercise
* dry, itchy scalp (just massage into scalp after shampooing, cover
with a hot, damp towel for 10-20 minutes, then shampoo again, rinse and condition)
* acne
* wounds (put on bandaid or gauze pad
* your pets (use in the same way your would on your own body)
* a deodorant base (to protect skin from irritation... not a problem if you use Shaklee deodorant products)
* an inhalant in a vaporizer (check manufacturer’s directions)
* baby’s bottom before diapering (Caution: While Herbal Blend Multi-Purpose Cream is very healing for diaper rash, because it is mentholated, it can burn on raw, tender skin.)

(Please note: Herbal Multi-Purpose Cream is for external use only.)

Now I'm not afraid of allergy attacking me. :D

An Uninteresting Morning

When I woke up this morning, something quite bothered me once again. There was power outage in my neighbourhood and as a result, I couldn't really do many things.

The reason?

Trees needed to chop off.

(¬_¬)

Anyways, power is back by noon and I'm truly glad.

Now let me go have my lunch. :)
