On day 3, we had arranged a driver cum guide (PUTU NASTRA) to bring us around northern part of Bali.

Turtle Island was our first stop. we took a glass bottom motor boat to Turtle Island and on our way there, the boat man stop in the middle to allow us to feed the fishes. Other than turtles, there were Owl, monkies, iguana & bat too :>

Next, we vistited the Ulun Danu Temple. It is set at lakeside of Beratan with beautiful lake view and hills surround it

This is another rice terrace field we visited. it was said to be the largest rice terrace field in Bali.

Our last station was at Git Git Waterfall. We need to walk around 15 mins to the waterfall from the village.

Along the way, there are children selling things and they are almost around C age (some are even younger)... This made me thk that C was leading a good life!

On our way back, we stopped by a coffee plantation. In this photo, daddy was trying their famous coffee ~ Luwak coffee. According to the guild, Luwak coffee is coffee made from coffe berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Civet! eeeeeeee... anyway, daddy said the coffee taste so so only.

On our way back to our hotel...we passed by the famous Kuta Beach...the beach was beautiful and packed with angmos and this made me wonder how they enjoy in such a crowded place!

Thou this is not the first time C took the air plane but she still feel excited before boarding! 2 hrs flight from Spore to Bali so by the time we reached the hotel..it was already 11pm! Well, nothing much to do other than exploring our room :) Some shots from our room. C love the bath tub so much that she really soak herself in (even with beauty spa salt) everyday during our stay!

Day 2 was our FOC full day sightseeing tour and the tour guide will fetch us @ 8.30am. We were waken by the bird chipping & duck quacking sound! yes no joke..duck quacking! There was a pond outside our balcony and we were so excited to see so many duck walking here and there!

<< DIY GRAPES ENZYMES >>

2009-04-25T23:30:00.007+08:00

After getting know the benefit of Enzymes while browsing thru "Active Vegetable and Fruits Enzymes" (Anna Phua)... I decided to give Grapes Enzymes a try..e receipe look simple to me and it only required 3 types of ingredients which are 300g Brown Rock sugar, 1 kg Grapes & 1 Lemon (i skip e lemon cos forgot to buy!). The method of doing are simple too:

1) Air dried the container and fruits.

2) Arrange layers of fruits, sliced lemons and brown rock sugar starting from the bottom of the container. Rock sugar must be placed as the top layer.

3)Seal and store the bottle in a shady and cool place for fermentation.

4) Shake the bottle on the 3rd or 4th day so that the fruits could be evenly fermented. Store for 2 weeks.

5) Voila...ready to drink! Place enzyme in cold storage to keep it fresh but it should be consumed within a mth.

I've jus tried a sip of the enzymes, it does tastes very good with a slight tinge of alcohol but find it abit sweet thou (arrr..shld have added in the lemon for the sourness!)

Will definete give other fruits a try! kekeee a new salad dressing for the rabbits :D

Befor entering the building, C was soo attracted by the HUGE ice-cream display at Benten Cafe. She was telling me she want to eat this for lunch. haha i've to remind her that the main purpose of coming here today is to have lunch togerther with my colleagues @ "Empire State"!

i was sooo attracted by this KING KONG in the taxi. When the first moment i see the kingkong...I know that C will like this kingkong too and this made me decide to bring C here for lunch whenever this restaurant open.

Finally today is the soft opening and here we are to try out the food. love the bright colour, the layout and all the kingkong pictures in this restaurant. Tried few of their popular dishes...and we love love love the pizza, spag w giant meat ball, mushroom soup, pork rib and their brownie with ice-cream.

<< W.G.M. ~ Anbi Farewell >>

2008-10-25T18:22:00.006+08:00

so far this is the most heartbreaking episode ... at Epi 28, the couples chose whether to say "I love you" or "I'm sorry" to stay or leave. Andy and Solbi officially announce their leaving from the show. Sometime i was thinking was this the director plan or they decided their own. anyway I am one of those saddened by AnBi leaving WGM...they was sooo cute and real together. Alot of remour around..some say Andy decided to put a stop as this was tooo real and some say they both worry that it might affect their entertainment carrer if both carry on but i really hope the main reason for leaving WGM is to truly start a real relationship without the cameras (wishful thinking hor).

Now i understand why the couples always said the realism of the show is also what makes it so scary for them, because it would be so easy to fall for a partner and imagine that the other party dun feel the same way. There r just a fine line in btw them.

Anyway..i wish them all the best...hopefully they will cont wearing their couple ring...

Gosh this sentence really made me sad :( I started to miss them liow!!!!!
"No matter where we meet in the futher...let's not forget that we were once married"

<< W.G.M. ~ We Got Married 4 Couple 100th Anniversary Slide Show >>

2008-10-25T18:19:00.000+08:00

<< W.G.M. ~ New Addition Couple, Lettuce Couple >>

2008-10-25T16:11:00.005+08:00

Lettuce Couple ~ Kim Hyun Joong of SS501 and Hwang Bo of Chakra

(hahaaa the ant couple soo cute)

On Epi 9, this couple replaced AlShin Couple and they still remained after the return of AlShin couple on Epi 13. Currently, this is my most fav couple. Hyun Joong is 6 years junior to Hwang Bo...hahaaaa they are soooo cute together. Love how they called each other..sinlang & Bu-in. Both very shy esp HJ...he always got problem speaking to those who are elder that him!!!! Love how he jokes with Hwang Bu-in and can see that Hwang Bo is happy in every epi together with her sinlang! I like Hwang Bo character ..very straigh forward..very easy going person. I like her laughter very much..her laughter will lead u to join her and it seem like she know to do everything so in most of the epi...Hwang Bu-in was the one who lead Sinlang.

<< W.G.M. ~ AlShin Couple Romantic Seperation & Beautiful Reunion >>

2008-10-24T22:49:00.006+08:00

Has been laughing thruout epi 1 to 7 but when come to this part at epi 8...my heart sink and feel sorry for shi ae...i actually cry for them..didnt realised their love has grow in my heart!

Alex brings Shin Ae to his recording studio and sings her a song ~ Flowerpot. He then tells her that he has to leave the show for a while because of his upcoming first solo album release

Alex and Shin Ae reunite after being parted for 7 weeks.

<< We Got Married >>

2008-10-20T01:18:00.010+08:00

A few mommies from M4M got me intestered in this show and after one epi..i was total addicted!!!!!! it wassss sooooo hilarious that i cant stop laughing though out the whole epi! This is my first korean variety show and it highlighting the "marriages" of celebrity couples at a time, the program shows what life would be like if each of these couples had really married.

The original couple:

AlShin couple (Alex of Clazziquai.+ Actress/Model Shin Ae )

W.G.M. Most romantic couple. Alex was soooo thoughtful, caring and gentle towards Shin Ae and this has soften Shin Ae but when Shin Ae was abt to open her heart to him...Alex decided to left the show temp to record his first solo album Vintage Romance. However, due to popular demand, the couple reunited in epi 13.

Jung Hyung Don & Saori

This guy really cracks me up..hahaaaaaa. His hobby was to sleep and eat! Saori cant stand him and divoce him on epi 9. Bwhahaaaa lucky my hubby was not like him!

A！ couple (Rapper Crown J & Seo In Young of Jewelry)

hahaaaa Evil Ant & Evil witch, so far..i thk this is the perfect match. They always qurrel over small little thing but both got their own way to soften each other. I really love the surprises that Ant gave to witch. hahaa both treats their shoes as baby!!

AnBi couple (Andy of Shinhwa + Solbi of Typhoon)

So far..this is the most realistic couple. They really look like real couple...very cute and comfortable with each other. Obviously that Solbi like Andy alot. Hahaahaa so far..this couple has the most skinship! Love the heart dance from Andy!

Hand In Hand

Make a chain
Hold on tight
We're all part of a team
Trying to get it right

Lift a load
Get to work
We could never do
it on our own
Together, Forever,
We will show that

We are strong,
We have power
We can do anything
you ask together
We are strong,
We have power
We can do anything we want
Hand in Hand
Hand in Hand

Anytime, anywhere
If you need a little help
Then I'll be there

Hand in Hand
Here we go
One, two, three, four
We all know
Together we can grow

We are strong,
We have power
We can do anything
you ask together
We are strong,
We have power
We can do anything we want
Hand in Hand
Hand in Hand

Hand in Hand in Hand in Hand in Hand

If the chain gets weak
Don't let it break
Keep holding on
Whatever it takes

We are strong,
We have power
We can do anything
you ask together
We are strong,
We have power
We can do anything we want
Hand in Hand
Hand in Hand
Hand in Hand
Hand in Hand

<< Cerilynn's New Pets >>

2008-08-23T21:12:00.011+08:00

Today C got more new pets. We went all the way to OhFarms to get this. Anyone wanna guess what's inside the containers?

...Yes is Caterpillars! Thanks Marie from M4M introduced this creepy crawlies to us. Althou abit yucky (it did made my hairs stand) but i thk this is a very educational way to let the kiddos witness the transforming process of a crawling caterpillar to a fluttering butterfly.

Cerilynn was sooo fascinated with the caterpillars and she even named the caterpillars.

Hairy & Henlery (cos very hairy) / Munchy & Munchely (keep munching non stop!)

According to the lady from the farm, these caterpillars were around 6 days old...it will take another 5 days to transform into pupae (chrysalis) and need another week to turn to butterfly.

Will capture and document the process everyday...hopefully we can eye-withness the whole process!!!

<< J-Amine ~ Paradise Kiss >>

2008-07-06T17:22:00.006+08:00

Love this wonderful anime..is abt a high school girl name Yukari who listens to her parents and force to attn e school everyday. Her boring world spice up after she encounters a group of fashion design students who has a clothing label known as "Paradise Kiss"...their passion and enthusiasm to follow their ideals and dreams make Yukari realise that she has not been enjoying her life and this motivated her to pursue her own dreams.

I find the ending is good thou it quite sad that George & Yukari never get together. I like the part when Yukari open up the door and found all the Paradise Kiss clothing that George had left for her.

Other than George & Yukari, I like Miwako & Arashi too...Wat a cute couple! Thou Arashi always gave ppl a badboy image but actually he is very gently. I get attacted by him when he sang this song in e anime :

kikoenai Uta

ooooh and of cos Isabella is great too...kekee she is actually a guy!

The opening & ending songs are great too.

Paradise Kiss opening song ~ Lonely In Gorgeous

Paradise Kiss ending song ~ "Do You Want To" by Franz Ferdinandit (this is cute)

<< Justkid's Family Outing @ Night Safari >>

<< J-Anime ~ Loveless >>

2008-07-04T14:31:00.005+08:00

Decided to give this anime a try after seeing alot of comments on Loveless while watching Junjo Romantica. Abit different from JR as Loveless is a shōnen-ai anime (JR is a yaoi anime). I would preferred Loveless as the plot and storyline is much better.

Love the battle scenes in this anime esp how Soubi performed the spell battle (way to cool)! The battle scenes remind me of Final Fantasy RPG game which i played yrs ago.

(battle scenes from loveless)

Heheee..thou i love the sweet ending but i am not satisfied with it...hmm...i was like hanging in the mid air...at least shld let me see how Ritsuka has shed his ear! Will get the manga on my next visit to the comic shop.

Can get more understanding of Loveless from here if you are interested. Love love love the opening and ending theme songs!

(Loveless opening theme ~ Tsuki no Curse)

(Loveless ending theme ~ Michiyuki)

<< K-Drama ~ Lobbyist >>

2008-07-04T14:04:00.003+08:00

I did hesitate awhile after reading the comments on here about the opening ending. I worried this would be another "Air City". After screening the first epi, i dedcided to watched becos i was soo suprised that Chae Rim was the main lead :)...cant regonised her on the poster!!!

Like the storyline..the cast and actually i can accept the ending..i dun no y..i thk maybe i have well prepared. Alot of ppl are guessing who will Cha Young Jin( Chae Rim ) end up with. Issit Kang Soo Ho (Lee Jin Wook ) or Yoo Gwang Pil (Lee Jong Hyuk )? Personnaly, i wish Cha Yong Ji with Yoo Gwang Pil..y? becos i thk is time for Kang Soon Ho to pay back the debt to Yoo Gwang Pil...but dun no y..i somehow have the feeling that yong jin will agreed w kang soo ho proposal after 3 yrs....anyway..worth watching.

Was hesitating which drama to watch while waiting for the rest epi of "Fated to Love You". After watching these few tralier of "TDrama-Silent", "TDrama-COrner with Love", "TDrama-ISWAK2", "KDrama-Powerful Opponents" & "TDrama-On Air"...I decided to give it a try on "TDrama-On Air"..thou the actors and actress dun seem to be actractive...and yeah..after a longbreak on K-drama...hehe lucky this drama never disapoint me...

Love love love the storyline and all the actors & actress are excellent in this drama esp the main leads... Lee Bum Soo , Kim Ha Neul , Song Yoon Ah & Park Yong Ha . Initialy tot the PD will pair with Actress & the screen writer will pair with the Agent but haha..is another way round. I get to know more about how a drama is produce....Didnt know that screen writer was so powerful...aways tot the director have more power than the screenwriter!

ooooh love love love the songs in this drama esp "If" by Naby!

On Word by FT Island

獨愛 by Park Yong Ha (oooh the PDLee can sing very well!)

IF by Naby (ver very nice song)

2008-06-04T17:25:00.007+08:00

Love this simple and entertaining drama by Chen Qiao En & Ethan Ruan. What a cute pairing ...Didnt espect that Ethan can act soo well...I didn't even know who is he when my SIL mentioned his name...haha but after the 1st epi...i can recognised him as Joe Chen sister's boyfriend in SUmmer X Summer. I dun know why i can see MingDao shadow on Ethan for the first few epi ..i thk maybe i am too used to it on 'MingEn'.

The story started with a romantic bed scene which Cun Xi (Ethan) who was drug by the island owners and Xin Yi (Chen Qiao En) went into the wrong room and they both made it(with the wrong partner) and hit the jackpot!

This drama is currently on air @ Taiwan and is only at Epi 12. Gosh!!! need to wait for a wk long for another epi. This is kind of touturing ;(.

Oooh gosh...epi 12 was soooooo sad...I cried alot at the part when Xinyin was knocked down by the car...;( ;( ;( cant wait for the nx epi!

I was quite surprised that this drama turn out to be great ...very funny..very sweet...love Cyndi Wang family...they will never fail to make me laugh! There are quite a few adorable and hilarious moments throughout this drama. Gino and Zhao Hong Qiao are great in this drama too. After this drama, i get to appreciate Nicholas Teo songs esp the 《小乌龟》. Love love love the songs from the OST :

张栋梁《小乌龟》
La La La La La
La La La La La
这首歌要给一个人
歌声代替语言　
深情只增不减
那一刻吻她的脸
地转天旋
爱的感觉　
比樱桃更甜
双眼放送闪电　
能超越极限
让人忘了季节　
爱成了经典
为他付出所有爱恋
要你永远是我的小乌龟
我爱你　
每一天

张栋梁《北极星的眼泪》
像断了
线消失人海里面
我的眼终于失去
你的脸
再等一会奢望流星会出现
愿如果真的实现
爱能不能永远
明天
或许来不及变
但曾经走过的昨天
越来越远

北极星的眼泪
说不出的想念
原来我们活在两个世界
北极星的眼泪
你哭红的双眼
被淋湿的诺言
淹没在心里面
我抬头看着爱不见

再等一会奢望流星会出现
愿如果真的实现
爱能不能永远明天
或许来不及变
但曾经走过的昨天越来越远

北极星的眼泪说不出的想念
原来我们活在两个世界
北极星的眼泪你哭红的双眼
被淋湿的诺言淹没在心里面
我抬头看着爱不见

当对的人等不到对的时间
就在放放开手的瞬间
爱撕成两边

北极星的眼泪说不出的想念
原来我们活在两个世界
北极星的眼泪你哭红的双眼
被淋湿的诺言淹没在心里面
我抬头看着爱不见
整个宇宙都流眼泪

Love this simple high school romance story. Once again, Ming Dao & Chen Qiao En made a perfect couple. 3 + 1 referred to Ming Dao, Jason Hsu & Huang Zhi Wei + Chen Qiao En, was a sty abt them who study in the same high sch.

My heart went up and down when i watch ed epi 8....starting sooo sweet and ending was very very sad, my heart sung to the bottom when i saw this new guy (Viter Fan ) joined in at epi 9...I tot Viter Fan will replaced Ming Dao after he died at epi 8...but hehe :)

Love love the OST in this drama...

Becos of this poster..it take me some time to hesitate on watching this drama...look so boring...Lee Wei's ugly curly hair...china actress Li Xiao Lu heee but after watching..oooh is good. Good story line...Although the master & the maid scence is similar to Full House...but this drama has it own taste... hmm alot of comment on the open ending but actually i quite like it to be end in this way...at least...We know that Lee Wei is not 100% dead.

After the first few epi..i started to get used Lee Wei's ugly curly hair..His hair and style in this drama looks abit like Kimura Takuya esp this few photos:

The lead actress Li Xiao Lu in this drama is super cute and actually the other 3 Hong Xiao Ling , Jin Jia & Yao Yuan Hao are good too.

Love the songs in this drama...esp the ending theme song, am still serching for the piano score..hopefully someone will share w me this piece of song :)

Nice drama...abit draggy in the middle but story get to pick up again when Lee Wei appeared on epi 13. I thk that they have spent too much episope on Jimmy & Hanna love story in the beginning. Wow Lee wei's role in this drama is quite diff from the few i had watched recently...a handsome proud/confident superstar who want to find out more abt his B. father...keke cant really stand his attired/action in this drama but his acting is very goood. Jimmy acting still not so bad but gosh, I cant believed he is 34!!! ..I tot he is around 25/26. hehee dun wonder Hana called Jimmy uncle in one of the video clip...wat a cute couple. Hana first drama, very cute, very natural and her acting is much better than some of e TW actress.

***吐司男之吻 1

Watched this drama becos of Lee Wei ;) Gosh this drama was broadcast at yr 2001...Wat am i doing at 7 yrs back..hmmm..thk i am busy partorying with my darling ;).

The story is abt ganster life so they used alot of valgue language in this drama. Find it funny that they are still using those mono ringtone hp. ooh ya i thk i used to have that panasonic phone.

So so story line..very draggy...Guess what is the best part of watching this drama?...no not Lee Wei.. is the love story between the big crime boss (Li Xiong) & the dectective officer (MiMi Jiang) and this wonderful song:

I.O.U(我所虧欠你的) - Carry and Ron

You believe, that l've changed your life forever
And you're never gonna find another somebody like me.
And you wish, you had more than just a lifetime to give back all
I've given you and that's what you believe.
But I owe you the sunlight in the morning
And the nights of all this loving that time can't take away.
And I owe you more than life now, more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt I'll ever have to pay.
I'm amazed when you say it's me you live for
You know that when I'm holding you you're right where you belong
And my love, I can't help but smile with wonder.
When you tell me all I've done for you 'Cause I've known all along.
But I owe you the sunlight in the morning
And the nights of all this loving that time can't take away.
And I owe you more than life now, more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt I'll ever have to pay.
Cause I owe you the sunlight in the morning
And the nights of all this loving that time can't take away.
And I owe you more than life now, more than ever
I know that it's the sweetest debt I'll ever have to pay.

Watched this drama while waiting for another drama " My Lucky Star". Very silly show..very draggy..i thk i fast forward half of the drama ;). Joe Cheng very childish/娘 and Wu Xiong very silly and clumsy in the drama. The plot abit like "ISWAK". Am still toying the idea of watching "ISWAK2".

Nice funny drama, love the story line and lucky not draggy at all. Very unique pair for Mike & Hebe... heheee but i still prefer Mike with rainie and Hebe with Lee Wei!!! Hebe first drama..consider not bad..funny is I find some of her action really like Ella. Starting to get bored for Mike's similar role in his T-drama....hopefully he will have better/diff role in his nx drama. Surprising, i like Lee Wei's role very much...love and care soooo much for hebe without asking any return. Gosh! i almost forgotton abt this guy...the one in "Toast Boy's Kiss 1 & 2". hmmm..thk need to look out on Lee Wei 's drama liow. Love love love all the songs in this drama :

斗牛要不要 Ending Song - S.H.E 最近还好吗

林宥嘉 - 背影(鬥牛要不要插曲)

Love this song very much...very emotional...so gloomy...so sad and this songs ready suits the role of Zicong (Li Wei) in this drama. He love Sheng Xiu (Hebe) wholeheartedly without asking any return...oh gosh!!! Love Love Love.
