Flying From Dubai for IPOH food

MY COUSIN TKL who is presently working in Dubai flew back to IPOH to visit his papa and us, of course. Once back to IPOH sweet IPOH, there will be no turning back when it comes to food. For most locals who have migrated overseas, it is no surprise that they will eat all they can when they come back to Malaysia. Gaining or putting on weight will not hinder them from stuffing as much as they can :))

Same for TKL here, he wanted something hot and spicy... no problem, I took him to a coffeeshop called Kopi Thiam where they sell various type of spicy hot stuff namely....

spicy hokkien mee
(I forgot to snap the prawn paste that was supplied separately)

hot and spicy fried koay teow

fish balls curry

TKL said.. "hmm.. hmmm" too hot for words...

after the meal, we adjourned to buy durians from this apek...

apek said "guarantee can eat one"

my cousin helping apek to open .... using all his might...

... and .."open sesame" ... the durian gave such an aroma smell
and of course the wonderful bittersweet taste....

TKL, I hope you have a wonderful time eating whatever you craved for during the few days you were here. Till we meet again...

About Snapbomb

This morning while I was blog hopping and paying visits to my fellow bloggers, I came across Snapbomb in one of their posts, it is a website for bringing advertisers and bloggers together for blog marketing and blog advertising at the same time. Advertisers need bloggers to spread the words about their products, reviews on their press coverage, events, news or anything that they need to reveal to millions of readers.

On the other hand, bloggers will be paid for their reviews and writing about the topics that match their interest in their blogs. Once the bloggers register, Snapbomb will revaluate our blogs through their automated valuation system and buzz analytics, at the same time, finding opportunities to match our blogs content.

Well, advertisers and bloggers alike, if you are interested, do check out their website and start registering.

Online Books For Us Readers

I used to be an avid book reader, reading fiction books that thrills me and making me feel in a romance mood. But alas, it had come to an end when the shop I used to rent books from had closed down.

Yesterday when I came across that BookSwim is offering online book rental, I feel I must really share what they have to offer to all avid book readers out there. For just $9.95 monthly, you can choose 3 books online and they will ship them to you and even include a pre-paid return bag when you have finished reading them. Isn't that great? If you love to keep the book, you can even purchase it online and it will be yours always.

Right now there is a promotion in BookSwim, for those who sign up now, there will be 50% off from the normal fees so it only comes to $9.95 instead of $19.95.

So...don't hesitate, do log in now to for more signing in details.

Don't Worry, Be Weird..dy...

Received this weird tag from Aprilheart.... hope after disclosing my quirkiness, my bloggers won't run off and leave me alone.... ( i wonder who invented this tag in the first place :)
Ok, here goes... (hands shaking a bit)

Here are the rules. To tag along: you have to list 7 weird things about yourself, post it in your blog, tag at least 7 people (list their names), and comment on their blog to let them know that you just tagged them.

And now presenting my weirdnessssss :

1. Where it comes to meals, I like mixing durians with my rice and eating them together.. (proven in my blog some time ago... yucky, huh?)

2. After that, I like to go near to the one I dislike and burp in front of him/her (eg. my bossie?)

3. I like to curl my hair with my fingers when I am in meetings (cos boring ma....)

4. I love to sing even if it is in the cinema... (mamma mia, here I go again, Mamma..just how much I miss him)

4. I find satisfaction in digging foodstuff from my mouth with my last finger... (ahhhhh.....disgusting)

5. I like digging my nose with that finger too.... (ahhhhhh..hahahahaha.. I heard someone saying tsk...tskk... walking away slowly)

6. Oh , only number 6 ah... what else is weird about me ah... oh, I love mumbling to myself when I am in this kind of situation (blogging does make one crack a bit, agree?)

7. Weird as I am, it would be best if I can eat, blog and sleep all in one place... so far, I have achieve two... I like to eat and surf at the same time... my appetite improves a lot doing that...

AND...

and... no more la.. cant think of anything more.... I think I m quite normal....
