Things I found interesting at KOpi Bean:)

Red Velvet Coffee Bean Version

Nice for breakfast

Nice and simple Christmas Mug

Pictures taken at Coffee Bean. The only one of the above I wouldn't try is the red velvet cupcakes, having tried their red velvet cake before, I am almost certain it will be sweet and yucky.

Unfortunately today will be a "rest" day. No money will be spent ....

This picture is for WNN who sadly does not read this blog. I love the composition and (yes yes ) the clarity. Photography classes for 2011.

A little bit of therapy

Pedicure ...Balinese style. ( picture of feet in Bali....rest of the body came along as well you know)

testing the steadiness of my hands...with a few shots this evening

Christmas Mug from Starbucks

Sushi at our "now" favourite Japanese restaurant

Macro mode come alive. Check out the little weeny orange bits.

It was a restful Saturday for now. Absolutely refused to shower until late in the afternoon. Choosing instead to potter about the place and just enjoy the fact that I can indeed ( if I choose) do NOTHING intellectually stimulating the entire morning and not have to feel bad about it.  As a matter of fact, despite all efforts of having a brainless morning, I slipped some reading in between an intense violin practise session. Feel mighty smug about that as well. It's nice to be productive. And what's more important, it's very nice to feel rested. 

Current obsession : getting the music score ( without paying of course ) of the songs from "boys over flower". Wish me luck!!!

It's not fashion it's passion

A very interesting dress. Sadly it won't be seen on my body anytime soon. In order to look good in this, you would have to have a body resembling that hanger you see it hanging from.

A spot of christmas shopping

Christmas presents with a VERY sorry looking plant 

Merry Christmas....

A lovely little something...nicely gift-wrapped

Some of the pictures taken during a quick stop-over at Midvalley this evening. Nothing much to write about except that it rained terribly the whole morning which made the brain sluggish.

Black Coffee No Sugar Please Oh And A Little Bit Of Milk

I had a bloody terrible morning. By terrible I mean one of those days where you are slow and everything seems to take longer. And it would be just the time you'd meet a selection of crabby people who insist on trying your patience. I wasn't very nice this morning. Just so you know, most folks were nice to me despite my crabbiness:) People are NICE

We will be away from work tomorrow. Attending an OBA workshop. Don't flap it's not the OBE the queen gives our during her birthday celebration. OBA stands for one best answer ( should be OBBA one bloody best answer) which will hopefully replace the format for the subsequent exams to come. More work for us:)

Belated Birthday Dinner celeb

Mummy...updating self re William and Kate

After the joint birthday celebration last weekend, we decided to have a nice dinner ( with peking duck) this Sunday. Mum wastes no time in catching up on the latest goss before dinner. The father attempted to read the only reading material available the aussie "New Idea". He lasted 1 minute before the magazine was chucked to one side and he decided to stare around him aimlessly instead.

Possible stool for Fibrate's little bub

There's a pair. ( I've misplaced one ...)

Little weeny footstools

solaris dutamas

Found this at what looked like a charity bazaar this morning. Turns out it was not a charity thingy but a flea market. Loads of delicious goodies to look, touch, feel, wear over yourself ( no fitting room provided) and buy. I was mighty tempted to get one of these. I don't need one at all. So eventually the practical side of me won. But before I could get all smug about self restrain and all that ....I parted with RM20 for a pink pinaforte type T-shirt which I now think may be tricky to pull off.

Prince Hours ( Completed)

Korean drama serials are brilliant. My experience has been that it usually starts off with you hating the actors for not being as brilliant as your previous series. Everybody looks ugly. The storyline appears murky ( and not half as exciting as the one before) and this comparison goes on until at least the end of the 2nd disc. At that point, you would have had your new favourite character, the story line has possibly gotten interesting and there's some mini crisis which impending doom for at least 2 of the characters. 

I'm currently at that stage where you feel sad ( and I bit cheated ) because the story has ended. There's nearly always a slight dissatisfaction with the ending. Main gripe is it's too short and they cramp 3 years in one episode. I've just completed Prince Hours ( see earlier blog entry for picture of main characters) about 30 minutes ago. My back hurts from lying on the floor throughout the last DVD with minimal movement.

So a quick description of the latest DVD experience.

1. Yongsunggeong was a FOOL in episode 1,2,3,4,etc etc until the 12 episode thereabout. He started acting sensible and less whiny.

2. Moonsungeong's character ( I rooted for him to be crown prince ) is a sad one. You start off hating him thinking he's got the upper hand. as the story unfolds further, your sympathy grows for this poor soul.

3. Court Lady Yang Sung Yi isn't as pretty as the last heroine. But she has the obligatory sharp korean nose. Didn't like her very much until possibly the LAST episode where she appeared polished and more subdued. The shorter hair made a difference too:)

4. Grand prince and the grand princess were both brilliant. You're meant to hate them and oh boy the casting for these two roles were brilliant. I hated them both consistently throughout.

5. The queen had very odd headgears in disc 3+4. Some love affair with a half korean half austrian professor was corney. ( I think that should have been deleted) The corney professor spoke only English but was apparently able to understand korean. 

6.The queen mother was very nice although she got a little testy and snobbish at the end insisting of baniching the court lady because she was a commoner and getting too familiar with the two princes. ( bleah)

That's about it. Next week I start a new dvd set....
