Went to Grand Indonesia for xmas again. The last time it wasnt fully constructed. Now, it looked much better.
The Chinese Village Setting on the 2nd floor...
not done yet though...
And i particularly love the food court...
The seats are well arranged...
...and got privacy!
And finally the food i eat...
Its a menado cuisine, which is well-known for its spiciness. The rice is called nasi kuning, yellow because of the coconut.
And look at the fish. Its literally drowned in chilli and its freaking hot!!! For chilli lovers this is a dreamcometrue, but for noobs they will juz die of tongue inflammation.
Christmas has been great! haha...
went for Xmas Carol for the whole of last week, visiting each other's houses and all... Very fun! haha...
2 big moviews that i have watched so far:
National Treasure: Book of Secret
Watched this on Christmas eve with my church, all 24 of us.
This is a great movie. Havent watched the first movie yet, but i would say 'nvm' cuz i can still understand what's going on. I guess there is nothing to do with its prequel, maybe other than the character background and history.
This movie kinda reminds me of the Da Vinci Code. Its ALOT like it. Plan is, look for a treasure that is lost through history, using historical trails to find it, and when found, can change history in itself.
It started off from the murder of President Lincoln, and ended up to a search for the lost city of gold.
Its nice, alot of mysteries involved, with adequate action, fun and humour. Definitely worth watching.
Warlords
Another historical movie, with big actors like Jet Li and Andy Lau. Loaded with battles, but also very touchy and dramatic.
It started off with 3 men pledging undying brotherhood with one another. As the story goes along, there are clashes in each other's ideologies. After that are spoilers so... keeping my mouth shut :x
A really really tragic story with a really really sad ending. For fans of sob stories, its a show worth watching. Ditch the old love triangles and forbidden love and lovers-yet-cant-be-together kinda thing and go for this really tears-worthy show, because its really sad.
I really love the plot. I don't know if all the things shown are true in history. But if it really is, then they are truly bastards kthnxbai.
saw this somewhere...
i think the name is quite intimidating, yet catchy haha...
Didnt try it out though cuz i just ate lunch somewhere else hahaha...
wasted
A new blog song haha...

Its quite an old song from the movie Taiyo no Uta.
Watched it long ago, but i still love her song haha...

Sweet Seventeen. Thats what most indo people here celebrates. Usually girls celebrate Sweet Sixteen, but I guess its probably because girls here late bloomers hahaz.
Was invited by my old fren Josephine to her party. And i was like OMG! A party in a club/pub! Booked the entire hotel lounge for herself, and invited around 150 school friends. very nice :]
What its like inside,
On the Dance Floor
The lounge
Milestones of her life
awww, ppt specially made by her parents
should have taken a pic of how many presents she got tooo...
Its not everyday you can see a prom-like birthday party anywhere.
Dunno many people there because they are all her school mates, so drew's lonely. But still, so nice to be invited XDXD hahahaha...
Grey's Anatomy
I have watched Grey's Anatomy season 1 and 2, so i shall do a review on it, as usual haha...
Since its a medical show, i can learn most of the facts here haha. If u have watched an old medical serial show, ER, its kinda more less along the same line.
Except, ER is about emergency room but GA is on surgery rooms.
There are LOTS of humour in the show, but most of them have sexual references, so yeah... and it also give an impression that american doctors always have sex in their free time, because thats what happens most of the time in the show.
Generally, this show is good. haha... It has a good story plot, lots of interesting cases and patients but MANY love triangles, which i think its annoying.
And yeah lots of bloode involved. Organs here and there, bloode spurting everywhere, but haha... get used to it. Might be a shock at first.
If girls can do it, so can I. hahahaha...
THere was this story arc which i think was quite amazing.
A patient was admitted into the hospital in the ambulance. THe paramedic has the her hand INSIDE the patient's chest and its STUCK and she happens to be grabbing something. He was admitted straight to the OR with Dr Burke.
THe wife was hysterical and admitted into the psych ward but after a slap from the dr alex, she revealed that the patient shot himself with a bazooka. But, there was no explosion, which means, the shell is still left inside the patient, and might explode at any moment.
Just before Dr Burke begins cutting open the patient, Alex ran to the OR just one time to issue a code black and ordered everyone to evacuate.
Dr Burke realised he had an unexploded bomb in his patient. The paramedic who put her hand in the chest of the patient was actually holding the live bomb in place.
He has an oxygen line running directly underneath the OR, which connects to the entire oxygen chambers in the hospital. And the paramedic is hysterical.
The rest... is spoiler. I am very against spoilers kthnx.
Ok the entire thing was VERY thrilling. Alot of action and weird illnesses involved. Very inspiring indeed haha...
House M.D.
Okay next is House. About the same as Grey's Anatomy, except BETTER.
If the first episode doesnt impress you, then i dont know what else does. Seriously. I have only watched first 3 episodes of the first season and i am already writing this review haha... and they are now already in season 4
Unlike GA, the doctors here are a team. THe protagonist, Dr House, is basically a bored doctor. He refuses to handle simple cases, because its boring. But once there is a patient with difficult cases, or any illness that doctors cant diagnose, he would do everything to take that case.
Other doctors gets annoyed with him because he is arrogant, but yet he is always right.
This is him
I shall do more reviews on it after i complete the seasons...
But there is some useful lessons in some of the episodes.
Sex could kill you:
Do you know what goes though the human body when you have sex? Pupils dilate, arteries constrict. Core temperatures rises, heart races, blood pressure skyrockets. Respiration becomes rapid and shallow. The brain fires bursts of electrical impulses from nowhere to nowhere. Secretions spit out from every gland, and the muscles tense and spasm like you are lifting three times your body weight. It's violent, it's ugly and it's messy. And if God hadn't made it unbelievably fun, the human race would've died out eons ago.
~Episode 3: Occam's Razor~
Wow so true. If anyone is tempted by raging hormones, think abt this quote haha... ur life is in danger.
Sumire @ Grand Hyatt Hotel...
just went to eat here and its amazing! I dun really blog about food, but haha there's really nothing interesting in indo besides food
So... went to eat at the teppanyaki section. interesting table and nice settings haha...
california rolls
teppanyaki
the crabs were cooked alive... it was still struggling even after it was cut in half and cooked for 5 mins
fire with brandy, IGNITE!
end result: beef roll. haha... nice!
chao mi fen
i ate kobe beef here once. Besides being obscenely expensive, like one slab can cost u hundreds of dollars, there is really nth special abt the taste. Its still beef. That's what i think la...
Just because the cow lived a happy life, being fed with wine to give the beef an alcoholic taste, and bred in a cage with classical music...
Happy cows dun really give better beefs. all taste the same to me.But still, at least i got to try haha...
After saying so much, i'm proud to say tt i dun pay a single cent for this. my ex-principal treat one and she likes to eat here all the time. Juz happen to bring me along haha... so lucky.
the legendary...
KrispyKremes!
... should i mention overrated too? i think it's too sweet. ugh...
i bought 4 boxes in total.
(my parents kidnapped one box kthnx)
and this is where i bought it from:
My point is... look at that. so empty! I'm not sure why, but KrispyKreme is DEFINITELY losing out to J.CO
There's been more J.Co outlets here and there, and the queue is forever long.
General comment again: KrispyKreme is f***cking sweet. Unless u are suicidal to want diabetes, dun eat this too much!
and again, behold...
drew's new playpen
muahahahaha... reused some old parts from my dad's pile of junk and IT WORKED.
- The TV: since my parents has switched theirs for a HDTV
- PS2: whole purpose of this setup is to play games; but i can also watch my DVDs, Heroes Season2 here haha...
- Sound system: my house has a total of FOUR sound systems. one in office, two sets in my parents' room and last one is going to be trashed sooner or later. Since its still working well, i juz use it along with my PS2.
- The Radio: apparently this is sitting around collecting dust so i juz use it to play cds. speaker sucks so i use the sound system instead
- Leather Cushion Sofa: what's gameplay without something nice to sit on. haha...
and so tadaaa... the wonders u can do with recycled junks. Life becomes so much more fun!
so... if ur dad wants to throw any crap which he thinks is useless, stop him! tackle him to the floor, sweet talk ur way through giving you the junk, and enjoy your loot =D
