I'm a Rockin' Girl Blogger!

Fu-Yoh! (Don't get me wrong, I'm not advertising for any telecommunication company...) I've just got an award from my deary Kitman. So, I'm not one of the Rockin' Girl Blogger!!! Feel like somebody has added a pair of wings on my shoulder and now I can fly!
So, I have the responsibility to pass the power on to some other girl bloggers who I think they have rock my world.

So, the awards go to... drum please...

1. Lingzie! Sweetest girl in the world! She has a very informative food blog. If you have run out of idea where to eat or you are planning a "cari makan" trip to Penang, you wouldn't want to miss her blog. Why? You will know why when you click in.

2. ahCheo! A very outspoken, hottest loving mom in the world... I like her way to comment, I like her way to express what she want to say, of course, I enjoy reading her blog.

3. Last but not least... the golden Rockin' Girl Blogger goes to... Pretty-Knitty! She is getting more and more professional in both blogging and knitting... keep it up girl! Although I started to blog before her, but she has put in such a big effort in learning how to blog, learning the html language, beautifying each and single corner of her blog by reading and trial and error. For serious blogger, you absolute can learn a lot and get a lot of good idea in blogging.

Keep up the good blog girls!

Shoes-mania

I love shoes... but I got small feet. I'm only wearing, sometimes 5.5 or 6, even I'm 160cm tall. What so good about small feet? I can wear any display shoes in shops :)

That day, I took out all my shoes, wanted to count the exact number of pair of shoes that I have. You know what? I got 20 pairs (currently)!!!! Excluding those I've donated out each year. I think this is normal for a gal, who has more than 5 pair of shoes, at least, agree?

1. Exercise shoes (of course this is for workout)

2. Party shoes (normally refer to those killer high heel)

3. Slippers (is a must to keep in car, so we can change and drive and don't have to spoil our high heel)

4. Working shoes (comfortable and at the same time must be trendy)

5. Shopping/walking shoes (need not be only high heel, cause we need to wear it to shop whole day, easy to take off so that we could try on another pair of shoes)

Whereas, guys need only

1. Sport shoes (they can wear sport shoes to anywhere, or sometimes wearing slippers)

2. Leather shoes (as working shoes and party!)

See the different? Well, taking photos with my shoes, cropping and editing the photos, post it online and writing blog for my shoes collection, you must be thinking I'm crazy... Yes, I'm crazy for shoes... especially those classy shoes... :p

My shoes collection

(I just found another pair of pumps hiding under my car front seat... opps, lazy to take the picture all over again and do the photoshop cropping, just leave it la...)

The white color ballerinas is my most-worn shoes. It's easy to match with my clothes, because I'm not a colorful girl, most of my clothes are in white, black or grey, kind of dull right? But this is me!

The gold color sandals and dark purple strappy sandals are my seldom-worn killing high heel party shoes. I seldom go party, even I do, I prefer peep toe, trendy and more comfortable.

Oh yeah! not to forget to introduce my boot. I love wearing boot to work, my work need me to walk a lot, wearing this snowfly boot is super comfortable. Friends always think wearing boot is very stuffy, no no, at least I never had smelly feet after wearing it for a long day!

Peep-toe shoes & ballerina shoes.
Among them, I love my maroon and black peep-toe. Very classic and lady, plus, the heel is not too high, they can match my jeans very well.

Don't you think my wedges with green flower lovely too?

Although I like wearing my ballerina, but this brown ballerina makes my feet look small, so, I seldom wear it.

Pumps & Mules
They are my working shoes, except the left bottom dark blue mules. The black pointed-head is my latest collection, from Hush Puppy, very formal shoes.

The pink and the top left hand side brown color pointed-head shoes have same design but different material, brown one is PVC and the pink is jeans type. Both of them are my most-frequent-wear working shoes, the only reason is, they are very comfortable. If you have watched the F4 Taiwanese drama series, The Meteor Garden 1, one of the actress said, lady must has a pair of comfortable shoes, because it carries you around. She's absolutely right!

The left bottom dark blue pointed-head shoes is one of my party shoes. Bought it years ago, but very classic and durable. Love to wear it to party!

My sport/running/walking shoes
I used to wear sport shoes wherever I go, but as I become older, friends said I need to be lady a little bit... that's why now, I wear my ballerinas, pumps...
(oh, where's my Nike? mom...)

Oh dear... I didn't left you out...
I bought this pair in Singapore... this pumps are from Charles & Keith, Singapore local designer brand.

My Favourite Songs

I don't think my taste is very special, but sometimes I think my taste is relatively difficult to catch or predict. Like the following, I'm going to share 2 of my favorite songs from my "hubby", David Tao, I'm sorry, but I'm too use to call him "hubby", my ideal type of man, not going to describe my ideal type of man here, cause I don't want to be out of the topic again, but David Tao is a real talented man.

1st song is from his 1st album, [David Tao], love it so much, not only like the melody (very R&B), but mainly because the lyrics is very touching, speaks right to a woman's heart. -

"A woman is never difficult to understand if you love her genuinely"

1. 望春风
词：李林秋 娃娃 曲：邓雨贤

（闽南语）
独夜无伴首灯下
清风对面吹
十七八岁未出嫁
想着少年家
果然标致面肉白
谁家人子弟
想未问候惊坏势
心内弹琵琶

（华语）
谁说女人心难猜
欠个人来爱
花开当折直需摘
青春最可爱
自己卖花自己戴
爱恨多自在
只为人生不重来
何不放开怀

Here's the KTV version of the MV. Enjoy!

2nd song, the music is totally different, it's a rap song, very wordy, unlike the 1st one, short, simple and nice. But, don't get me wrong, the lyrics is as beautiful as the 1st one.

This is from David's 2nd album, [I'm OK]. I get to know him from this album as well. So, this album is still my favorite one.

The lyrics tells us every individual is different, we need to learn how to love each other, we can't discriminate others who has different culture, different believes, or others from different races or nationality.

2. 不一样
词/曲：陶喆

从小在历史课就发现人与人不一样
不同的国家不同的文化不同的宗教
造成地球几千年不停的战争
越变越陌生使得仇恨延伸
虽然我们有了高科技的发达
却还是每天人与人在吵吵打打
这真的让我感到心里有点怕怕
我真的不懂
为什么人类那么阿达

如果这世界没有这么多的变化
可想见人生会无聊到不像话
就像那孙悟空的七十二变
他如果不会变
就对那西游记说再见
不管你是Chinese,Korean,Japanese,Malay,
乌拉圭 西班牙 还是缺了一颗牙
只要你有那火热的心 什么都摆的平
去创造新的生命

不一样就是不一样 (想)怎么样?我就是不一样!
就是不一样
我就是不一样!
不一样就是不一样
so what!so what!
我就是不一样!
就是不一样 come on

我常常在街上听人家在八卦什么hot什么not
最近什么最当家
最近哪个牌子红 哪个音乐ㄙㄨㄥ　
哪个牌子风 谁的发型普通
我一点都不在乎谁是现在的流行先锋
因为我知道流行只是一种盲从
吃肥油 吃肥油
他只会让你心灵的健康统统没有

不管你是什么样的人
什么样的文
你绝对千万不能忘记这世界还有很多其他不同的人
你需要打开胸怀 绝不要立刻歧视
你可能吃的是一碗白饭一个汉堡意大利面条
一个寿司一条satay chotto matte
只要你有那火热的心
什么都摆的平
去创造新的生命

不一样就是不一样 (想)怎么样?
我就是不一样!
就是不一样
我就是不一样!
不一样就是不一样
so what! so what!
我就是不一样!
就是不一样 come on

甘地 迪士尼 老子 孔夫子 蓝侬 卓别林
Brando(白兰度)跟毕卡索
爱因斯坦 Freud(浮来得) 达赖喇嘛
都是与众不同的伟人就是人类的heroes
从这些一个的 一个的 特殊创始人的身上
我们可以看到
不一样的思路才能真的让这尘世有个美丽前途
相应成趣
就请那规律出去（get out)

所以当你在下次看到有人刺
或你有朋友觉得重金属的音乐真的才cool
不管他台湾人 诸葛四郎 或者他肥胖
他还是跟你一样一样 同样的爱心彼此彼此
你要释放 礼让 忍让 绝不希望
我只会盼望你有火热的心 什么都摆的平
去创造新的生命

不一样就是不一样
就是不一样
不一样就是不一样
so what! so what!? 我就是不一样
就是不一样

p/s: This song is in my playlist, song 38.

Hope you will like both of the songs.
This is not the end, it's a beginning!

Bread Basket Bakery - The passion of baking

Last Sunday, 29th July 2007, aka Kelvin & Siow Hui wedding-date announcement day, A33 has a small gathering at Joanne's brother bakery shop - Bread Basket Bakery.

The shop is located in Kota Kemuning (please refer to the map at the bottom of this post for further details). Not very difficult to find although we are from, Cheras, PJ, Kepong, Subang...

When we reached there, wah, amazing, the shop appearance is absolutely professional, and the cake display is the main attraction, just like the tag of the shop, the passion of baking, you will definitely feel their passion when you taste the food.

Caution: I'm sorry, if you are very hungry right now, you are advised not to scroll down and see those picture. I'm not responsible for those who have gone mad of hunger after seeing this. :p

The snow-white outer coat makes the cake "shine". I can't imagine if I have bought this cake, how am I going to make the first cut...

Mango Lychee
Oh, this cake is so unique. I have never seen this cake elsewhere. So, I ordered one for everybody to taste and ordered one, bring back to office for my colleagues, ehehe, doing promotion for Joanne as well.
