Our hair done in Hairkunst Saloon @ Curve. Good service! We bought Hairkunst promo voucher from Groupsmore, the voucher was RM80 (worth RM200), I opted for hair coloring for my medium hair length!

My first visit to GSC MAXX

My first visit to GSC Maxx, it took over Imaxx, belif it or not, I havent been to that too. But is ok, at least I've stepped into GSC Maxx! You guys should at least go watch at least once to feel the experience, it's different from the 3D movies we watch in normal GSC hall.

GSC Maxx is the biggest digital and 3D digital hall with a screen size of 24 meter width and a seating capacity of 555 seats. This digital hall has also been fitted with a fully digital sound system, the Dolby CP 750 which was designed to work within the new digital hall environment and integrates easily with pre-show servers, alternative contents and digital cinema servers.

Entrance of GSC MAXX, located on the 10th floor of Berjaya Times Square, KL.

A mini ship-like food and beverage counter.

There's a huge 3D glasses design on the wall.

Upcoming movies in 3D!

Me with my heavy 3D glasses, and lookin' cool with it. :P It's yellow color at the side. It is an active polarized 3D system with 3D Tech active glasses.

3D movie of the day: Shock Labyrinth from the Director of Ju-on, Takashi Shimuzu. This is Japan's first ever 3D horror film. The film is base on the Senritsu Meikyu (translated as The Shock Labyrinth) which is an attraction at near Mt. Fuji at Fuji- Q Highland Amusement park. The Senritsu Meikyu attraction holds the Guiness World Record for "The longest horror-house walk through". Oh the house of horror previously was an abandon hospital, so the things inside the house of horror is what remains in the hopspital. Pretty scary and interesting right? This is where the director filmed the movie, during park's close hours. Oh my, i won't be going to such a horror house, I heard the horror house takes about 90mins walk from the beginning till the end!

Shock Labyrinth is not that scary as Ju-on. But I like the director filmed the movie, I don't really like horror movie heavily edited with sound effects before the 'scary' thing appears on screen, or the usual floating of hair on the ceiling, or super long hair. At least this is different, you won't see such things in here. :)

An Elegant Dress

Spotted this dress from The Square Concept in Dataran Sunway @ Kota Damansara.
I think tis is an elegant piece but the dress a lil' short for me! Wonder the figures on the price tag.
From what I've know, there are local designers' clothes sellin here.

Gloomy weather

What's up with the weather??
It's freezing cold and rain everyday, and white sky and gloomy as if I were in London.
For once, i appreciate and look forward to some SUNNY DAYS!

See What I've Found!!

Found them in Tangs booth at ground floor @ Empire! Lovely deco piece perfect for rabbit year!
For this size - RM15.90 each.
Gonna bring these home for my mom to decorate the house. Oh now am still searching a small lion dance as decoration too. :)

Xmas gift and CNY Clothes

Had lunch with Tammy today, and what a surprise! She gave me a Xmas present - Apothecary Recovery Sniff Box from Les Floralies. It is ideal for grief, fear, anxiety and disappointment. It has aromatherapy effects! Thanks dear! If I did feel sleepy in the car when am driving, this will wakes me! :) Thanks for helping me to buy 4 boxes of color lenses which cost only RM15 per box!

After lunch with Tammy, took 2 hrs to do buy some Chinese New Year clothes shopping in Dataran Sunway! Yippie, it took me only an hour in Mustard Boutique to get the following 3 pieces!

Something funky this year, bought 2 pieces which can wear as either as a top with tights or as a dress. But if wear as a dress, i will definitely wear a short pants inside. Another must have piece for me, the white polka dots dress such an elegant piece. :) Am very satisifed with my cny hauls, thought I have done my clothes shopping, but I've just heard TYRO boutique is having 50% off on ALL items!! Oh well, maybe I will just popped by the place and hope there is nothing suits me there, i dun wan to spend any more money on clothes anymore.... T_T

Songs of the day

Just downloaded this album "Let The Truth Be Told" 2009 from Laura Izibor. Love her vocals, and sounded like Aretha Frenklin style.

Love her even more, when saw her performance in youtube, could feel her emotions coming from her performance, she sang them with a soul. Both songs appeared in One Tree Hill.

Shoes Story

Chanel Pre-Fall 2009 Embelished Tights
Fendi Black and Gold Pumps

Was reading one of my favourite blog on fashion - Fashezine, Ioana, the writter of Fashezine, has very good taste on fashion stuff, that's why am glued to her blog. The heels and tights paired together so well! Elegant!

Am always fond of Chanel Monochrome Peep-Toe-Shoes.




Chanel Black and White Pumps, so lovely!

Love at first sight, when I first saw ceramic or porcelain painted shoes in Italy! They're so lovely, if I'm able to find these ceramic/porcelain mini shoes again. I might wanna start collecting them like the picture below.

My Favourite Hand Serum

Bought this Haba Bulgarian Rose Hand Beauty Serum as a Xmas gift for myself. Today just started to use it, lovin' it and I am goin to use this for a very long time for sure.

Seng Kei Wan Tan Mee

Seng Kei Wan Tan Mee

Today I waited at this famous stall selling Chai Siew Wan Tan Mee at Sunway Mas Complex at Aman Suria. I waited for 45 mins, n i didnt throw any tantrum or feeling grumpy at all. The uncle seller gave me one long slice of char siew, yummieee! I actually turned him down, and he insisted, probably seeing me waited so long and still smiling sweetly. Patient is a good virtue and i got an unexpected award which is the long yummie char siew! Yumm!

Student suprised me!

As usual, Mark came for piano lesson on friday. He is a funny 16 year old boy, pretty smart and knowledgeable. He thought me a lot of things especially with computer stuffs and about how movie 3D made and etc. Amazing for a 16 year old boy. This year, he is preparing for grade 7 piano exam. When the lesson ended, he packed his bag and waited for his mom to fetch him. But he walked to the piano and sat down. The next thing he did was So Amazing and a complete surprise! He played Chopin's Waltz in A flat major 'L'adieu', op.69, no.1. He played the whole piece complete by memory. I was standing behind him and listened to every note he played and I was like 'whoaaa' in my heart. Really made my day! It was a completely surprise as I did not asked him to memorize any pieces and he took the holiday time to memorise it. Bravo!! For a teacher like me, this is the best gift from a student! :)

Unforunately, I did not record his playing, so am gonan share a link from youtube on Chopin Waltz Op.69, no.1

Life and Death

I came across these 2 quotations at the entrance of a crematorium today. I thought it is very meaningful and it sort of make me understand and accept death. The english quote is taken from Hamlet's text by Shakespeare. To me, it meant there is a mystery of life, how we born to the earth/nature and go back to where we came from, our soul lives eternity after death. Every living thing must die in this world, and when our body turn to dust, that's when our soul seek and meet GOD, which leads to eternity. Therefore, we have to be strong and live life through no matter how we were not willing to let go the person we loved, as he or she will live even more happily next to GOD. That's my translation when I read them, these words might touch you differently and meant differently to you too. What's your thoughts?

For the chinese quotation, it meant there are flowers bloom and flowers wilt, the wilt one turns to sand/soil. One life's end, and another life will be born. This is the nature of the earth/life.

"Do not for ever with thy vailed lids
Seek for thy noble father in the dust.
Thou know'st 'tis common. All that lives must die,
Passing through nature to eternity"
- Hamlet I:II:70

Another chinese quote which I roughly remembered :
'华开花落， 华落变春泥
一个生命的结束，原来一生命的开始
这是大自然规律，生生一息'

p/s: Treasure each moments whenever you are with someone, and do your best for them while you can before they were gone and before it's too late.

Red Rabbit

Spotted this cute lil red rabbit on facebook today. I would love to hunt this decorations to put at home as decoration or for my mom as gifts. They look cute! Chinese new year is just a month away! So fast, the other day right after Xmas, I've heard chinese new songs playing in some shops already. Wow....

Am amazed on such piano, where the keys of the grand piano still playing as though there is some "ghost" is playing some beautiful tunes on the grand piano. Actually this type of grand piano already installed Disklavier, a device that they can reproduce not only 'live' acoustic piano concerts, but ensemble music with instrumental and vocal tracks as well. They allow you to record and play back your own performance, create complex multi-track arrangements, and connect to the world of musical opportunities offered by MIDI devices, personal computers and the Internet.
