DAMN!

TIMEOUT KL magazine was just launched 3 days ago and apparently this is the chain's 24th edition worldwide. Time out is actually a publishing company based in London and the Time Out weekly magazine was first published in 1968.

And now Time Out is available in 24 different countries worlwide such as Mexico City, Beijing, Dubai, Istanbul, Tel Aviv, Moscow, Athens, Jerusalem and Singapore.

To think that a major magazine would only concentrate in up class cities such as Paris or New York only, it is not the case for Time Out. It is good to think out of the box and widen your market now, isn't it?

Anyway, what is Time Out actually??

This is taken from their website. "From food to the arts, shopping, nightlife and entertainment, Time Out will scratch the surface of the KL and present you with a fresh take on life in this vibrant, bustling, cosmopolitan city. If you're on the lookout for the coolest place to chill out or the hawker stall that serves the best nasi lemak, rest assured Time Out will have the answer. So if you will, let Time Out be your guide to all that's happening and cool in KL."





Ok, it does sound a bit like KLUE magazine. But when I did make a thorough comparison of each magazine, it does have a big difference there.

Time Out is a mixture of Cinema Online mag, plus KLUE, plus travel guide, food guide, tourist guide kind of feeling towards it.

I mean if you are clueless about KL, maybe this is the magazine for you. Their review is not only on high-class restaurants or bistro but it ranges from wonton mee restaurant to nasi lemak stall. How down to earth is that? Of course most of us can afford fine dining, but the 24 hours mamak stall atmosphere is what I always look out for.


I am actually one of those people who have no idea where else to eat other than the stalls we always frequent. So this magazine would really save us the boredom of eating the same food over and over again. Bleh..

So pick it up at your local store and enjoy the content. For those who are not in KL, well when you do come by here, it is actually quite useful for you to move around and in the same time spend your time wisely here in good ol kayeel!

By the way did I mention that it is only RM 4.90?

Our Nigerian boy is out of the competition.

Chikezie was voted out for his weak performance yesterday.

Suprisingly, Jason Castro and also Syesha Mercado was in the bottom 3 as well.

Yipes, that was a close one.

Enjoy the repeat at 8pm tonight on Astro Channel 711 (Star World)!

Adios!

Okay, who has seen this reality tv show? Raise up your hands!




I have been following quite dilligently I might say, and it is pretty exhilirating to see a fellow Sabahan competing in this show.

It is none other than Valerie Vanessa Ebal Anus..






This show is similar with America's Next Top Model, minus the Top Model, except for Elaine (if you consider her a top model, cos she is a host and actress as well, and not really that much on modelling). She was one of the judges, and of course the other judge is our fellow blogger, Kenny Sia.


The difference with this reality show is that you will never get it on tv, cos it is not on tv. It is right here at our own backyard - the Net of course.


Hubby was asking why was it not on tv. I told him, maybe there was a bigger audience on the Net and more overseas people can watch it. But then again, those contestant, like Alison who was just voted off and has more friends overseas, will not be able to vote for her. Hence the quick and sudden elimination. Poor thing.


On the note on why it is not on tv. Well this is just our opinion, but after seeing pics like this, I am not sure if it will ever pass the censorship board, let alone on tv. Maybe that was it.



My favourite from the beginning was actually Jean, and of course our Valerie, as well as Fiqa. Jean was the more elegant, intelligent and demure kind. Well of course la, she is studying pharmacy in IMU. Unfortunately she had to go due to university commitments. Sigh. What la.

Fiqa, a mix Malay and Chinese parentage is also not bad. She is both open-minded as well as down to earth and she got my respect when she told her aunt not to show the episode to her mum, on where she had to model in a pretty short shorts.




Okay la. Gotta give them some credit to actually pose that sexy on the Net. I mean, it is for the competition right. But, frankly, for me, I will not let my baby girl expose herself like that. I am still that oriental, conservative type of person. Of course I do not wear leggings or long skirts or track bottom all the time, I do have my limits to proper wear when I go out.


Even though if I do wear revealing stuff, I make sure that I am with hubby or with a group of friends. I guess it is my own phobia (well that one is another story).


Till then, enjoy the show. If you wanna vote, I guess for me Valerie is your choice, cos she is our 'gang', so called. If not, then vote who you would think deserve this title.


Vote wisely, OK!

I know it is a little bit early for Thanksgiving. But I guess it does not hurt to give a little thanks to God and also to count the blessings that were bestowed on us.

Hey maybe it might bring some hope to other people, or happiness, or satisfaction or just plain good reading.


Here they are:


1. I am thankful that Jesus Christ died on the cross for us and that He had risen on the 3rd day, which is today (Easter).


2. Hubby finally got his dream job and will be joining the new company in May.


3. Angelus is doing well in school and has been scoring full marks in his spellings and chinese characters.



4. I found some part time work that does not require much sacrifice on time with family and in the same time pays quite well.


5. I am very grateful that I am where I am today, with a loving husband and an adorable son, and I thank God every day for the opportunities and chances He had given me.


6. I am especially thankful for hubby, Jerry for his love, understanding, patience, faith, craziness, passionate about my whole life and for his never-ending fuss on me and Angelus.


7. I am thankful for my parents, siblings, in-laws and all my extended family for their support, encouragement, patience and understanding for us.


8. I love the house that I am living in and the church that I am attending to worship God and to get to know Him better, also the Home Fellowship members who are always praying for us.


9. I am grateful for my old friends, my new found friends in KL and also on the Net.


10. Last but not the least, I am grateful that I am still alive, healthy and well to take care of the 2 boys in my life and also my future children with my hubby later.


Can I spread the love to:
Kay
Tirut
Shemah
Cindy
Annette

Anyway, all in all I had 3 change of hairstyle. It was supposed to be 2 only, but the first day it rained in FRIM, so we had to come back the next day.

2nd Day


The final day in Port Dickson, Seremban

Then the classic holding hands-sky view-looking at each other-smiling post.



The Finale.............

Cheers to all 3 of you!

I cannot believe that I am blogging about Akademi Fantasia. But I have to admit at one time I was waiting anxiously in front of the tv to watch my favourite AF contestant, Vince. He was pretty good, singing renditions of famous artistes and all. But the best was P Ramlee's song, Bunyi Gitar. By the way Vince was at my wedding as he was an old church friend of hubby's. Burn was there too.

And to think that once upon a time these boys were actually active performers in our Youth Fellowship in church. Wow. Great transition guys. Kudos to both of you!

And now Siti Nurhaliza's elder sister will be in AF6.

I wonder if she will be getting votes on her own talents or because she has a famous sister. I guess we will find out soon enough. Actually their first concert is this Saturday. Adui. My mum will be glued to the tv once again!

Our lone rep from Sabah is Stacie Angie Anam, 18 years old, kadazan lass who hails from KK itself. She will be singing No One from Alicia Keys. For those who are in Selangor, the concert will be held in PJ Civic Centre at 9pm. For the rest, just tune to Astro 104 ok.

Good luck to Stacy as well as the others. Bah kalau mau vote tu, vote betul betul ok! Maybe it is time for another wind of change??

Ok, now the changes :

Penang new CM waived all parking offences before March 11th for Penangites.

Perak is having a hard time electing a new MB. Thought it was Nizar from PAS, but unfortunately DAP Lim Kit Siang is against it (http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/79733).

Kedah is ruled by PAS. Things are changing there. http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/79613

Hmmm... Just waiting and observing what else will happen next.

When I first heard (while watching 10000 BC in the cinema) that Samy Vellu had lost and also Badawi might have lost as well, there goes the movie. I was basically thinking about the fate of our country, what should we all do if PAS or PKR would rule bla bla. I was actually thinking of migrating.. Haha. All the basic damage control thingy that I would do.

I called my dad and seeked clarification with him. Yes it is true that Samy Vellu lost as well as Sharizat. What?? Sharizat lost to Anwar's daughter? What did she do until she won the hearts of Lembah Pantai constituency? I thought Sharizat was good enough and she had done a lot in her Women/Community Ministry. I liked her. Oh well.

We did had a disturbing talk I might say in our Home Fellowship last Friday. There will be a wind of change they said. The non-muslims or Christians are scared that the nation would be an Islamic state they said. Etc etc.

For me, I just fear change. Maybe I am one of the lucky ones who were not neglected by the government. Or maybe I am just ignorant to what is going on. I asked Jerry the same question. He says diplomatically that he does want BN to win but there should be a substantial amount of Opposition parties to balance it all out.

And now the Opposition have conquered Penang (shocker!!), Kelantan (duuhhh), lost Kedah, Perak and Selangor (Opp won 35 out of 56 seats). I am in shock and that is why I cannot sleep. It is almost 4 am and I am still waiting for any new news.

Sigh.. What a day.

A wind of change indeed..
