Shopping for Peplum Tops
Eek! What am I going to wear (girls' classic dilemma)? Is your initial joy in receiving an invitation quickly sucked away by that thought? Mine usually is. Last week, I received an invitation from a PR company to an event and I found myself in this predicament - stood in front of my overstuffed wardrobe...

Sakae Sushi
Irasshaimase! We came here again a few nights ago for a quick fix to satisfy our Japanese food cravings. Well, this Singapore-based restaurant chain certainly needs no introduction, but I'll dump these pictures here anyway or else I'm not sure what to do with them. #1 As usual, we always order our...

Liquido Beachwear
Long time TurnuOff readers probably already know that I love beach holidays - I love to be by the sea! In fact, I'm currently making plans for my next beach holiday (hopefully soon) to recharge my body and mind. However, taking one's fabulous self to the beach requires one stressful and not so fabulous step...

The Secret The Power by Rhonda Byrne
I was looking for a book called "Love Virtually", but ended up buying these two books instead! I've never judged a book by its front cover; I always do by its back cover. How do you judge a book? I gave in to curiosity in that I wanted to know the secret behind The Secret as some people swear that The...

Dr. Thao @ Nantou, Taiwan
Once again, our tour guide took us to a place where people would cling onto your legs and not let go until a ransom is paid. I kid! We were brought into a room with a lady (Thao tribe princess) saying something, but I don't remember exactly what. Oh, what I remember is - since my parents apparently...

Creep
A scene from a 2004 French movie entitled "Ils se marièrent et eurent beaucoup d'enfants" ('Happily Ever After' in English). Creep (explicit version) is my favorite song by Radiohead (an English alternative rock band). When I first heard it, I was floored especially with Jonny Greenwood's aggressive...

Incomprehensible
Sitting alone and silently, She recalls the little piece of magic. That part came unexpectedly, And lasted only for a while. One month has passed, Her nights have turned to days, And all day goes by with him on her mind. She can't understand, how This has mattered to her. She has told herself, He...

Journal by Plan b @ Publika, Solaris Dutamas
"Let's go to Plan B!" Ralph suggested since we had no plans as to where to have dinner. When we arrived here on a Saturday night, I wanted somewhere we could sit inside the cozy indoor dining area but it was filled, so we were seated at the laid-back outdoor section. #1 #2 While waiting for our food...

Fast Furious 6
Ralph took me to see this movie on the first day it was released. He knows Fast Furious is my favorite action movie franchise of all time, and how much I love the excitement and competitiveness of street racing. I went into it with no expectations, switch off, buckle up, enjoy the ride and... watch...

Puli Winery @ Nantou, Taiwan
#1 Finally getting down to blogging about my Taiwan trip! Oh well, it's better late than never, right? So after lunch at the island's most beautiful lake, we were back on the road again to our next stop. #2 Saw a woman singing and an elderly couple dancing at a Chinese pavilion near the parking lot...

Just Give Me a Reason
Right from the start You were a thief, you stole my heart And I your willing victim I let you see the parts of me, that weren't all that pretty And with every touch you fixed them ... I'd say this is Pink's song of the year! I'm not really a big fan of her, but Pink and Nate Ruess made a beautiful song...

Tasty Chapathi @ Viva Residency, Jalan Ipoh
I've so many posts lurking unpublished or half-started posts in my drafts folder since God knows when. Why have they not seen the light of day? Some are ready to publish. I just have to do the deed! Anyhow, dinner at Tasty Chapathi and this was like... in January (!!!), loll. Our friend Bavindh finally...

Apprehensive
She has a home. It lies on the shore. Everyday, she stands at the beach. She imagines what lives over there. She swims, but she never goes far. There seems to be nothing other than the vast sea. The sea is rugged. One day, she sees someone on a lone boat out at sea. He sees her too. Now, she knows...

Carlsberg Viewing Party @ Souled Out, Sri Hartamas
My, how time flies! I feel like I barely have any time left for blogging or looking at clouds. I may have got a lot on at the moment, but I still remember you, my lovely blog readers! My calendar may be bursting at the seams, but I still plug social events into my calendar and stick to them. On 21 April,...

Lost In My Own World
Whoa I can't believe it has been ages since I blogged *blows off dust* and I'll be getting the Moldiest Blog award, thanks to my blog buddies Panda and Mariuca, loll. Ever since I came back from Tawau, I've been feeling lazy to blog. A mad scientist injected me with the lazy bug and it took me weeks to...

Sun Moon Lake @ Nantou, Taiwan
This will be my last post for a while because I'll be away for the next 17 days (going back to Tawau for Chinese New Year tomorrow evening!), so here's an entry with a million pictures for your viewing! #1 From the tea plantation, we proceeded to Sun Moon Lake, which is situated over 750 meters above sea...

Another Year Older
Hey everyone, though I'm feeling a bit tired after two whole days of trying to do too many things at once and rushing from one place to another, I just want to take a moment and say Thank You from the bottom of my bum and heart for all the birthday wishes! Thank you everyone for the love and gifts you all...

Taiwan's Tung Ting Oolong Tea
Waking up on our 5th morning in Taiwan, we were greeted with a spectacular sunrise and a slightly cool temperature. On our way from Kaohsiung to Taichung, we stopped here earlier in the day to... pluck tea leaves! #1 See these "tea pluckers", they were very serious and concentrating on the leaves and...

Buffet Dinner @ Paya Serai, Hilton PJ
We initially had planned to have our dinner at Genji Japanese Restaurant in Hilton PJ but unfortunately, we arrived to a fully booked restaurant for a private function that night, so we ended up having buffet dinner at their coffee house instead. Hotel's coffee house buffet is typically not my choice but we...
