Tim Pun Gor Gor (甜品哥哥), SS2





Diluted, too sweet, starchy, lukewarm and pricey are the few words that you would not want hear from a shop specialised in making dessert. Well I am just referring to the desserts that I ordered last visit to the newly open SS2 branch. I ordered black sesame paste dessert, white fungus soup and ginger soup with glutinous ball. I have yet to try the cold dessert from this shop. Perhaps next time.

Bloody Juicy - CARNAVAL CHURRASCARIA



I want to say thanks to my friend who are willing to try out this with me! This shop has been there for many years. We went for my belated birthday celebration. It is at the corner unit, ample of sunlight came in when we arrived there during the evening. you can see the customers eating in restaurant from outside as there are glass doors without blinds or curtains . the rest of the walls are painted yellow, so does the table cloth and drinks menu are in yellow colour. The restaurant try to bring out the Brazilian feel. We were briefed by the shop owner who claimed that they have the chef from Brazil who do marketing every morning and then prepare what they bought for the dinner. All of us enjoyed the food.

First drop of Sun @ Broga




Second attempt to catch the glimpse of sunlight was a successful one, thanks to a bunch of really dedicated and disciplined new found friends. We were actually started later than we planned. We departed from Seremban this time round at 4.45am. My friend was speeding on this winding road from Seremban town to Mantin and then to Seminyih, but the road was totally empty and pitch black, a smooth drive indeed. We reach the base of Broga Hill around 5.20am. It was still very dark, I spray some insect repellent onto my feet as I was wearing sandals and shorts this time. I was not well equipped this time, didn't expect it to be this dark. I was walking behind the trialling light from my friends torch or head lamp. We stopped a few times, my friend is catching her breath, the air was quite thin before the sunrise.

However, it was all worth it. The sunrise indeed was breath taking.






Whitney Houston - I Look To You

Welcome back to the limelight, Whitney Houston has had a huge fan base and still are, was getting anticipation from her loyal fans for this comeback album for the last few years. I am impressed by her going through all the personal struggles, she is still full of courage to change and make a comeback. We are the one who should look to her for courage. Personally I enjoy listening to "I Look To You" and "I didn't know My Own Strength". I feel that these songs really reflect her life at this moment very much. Her voice in these songs are very inspiring, the music and its arrangement is at its best.

Brand New Mariah Carey - Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel


Mariah Carey is back with her brand new album. From the album cover to the tracks, it is really simple and refreshing. No more thick makeup, just like the tracks inside, as simple as possible. I feel that it really focus on the vocal, more easy listening background music. All the tracks are very consistent, good track selections. I can finish the whole album easily without having to adapt to different music styles. I like the style of the music, smooth. Nice and brave try to break away from the previous success formula. Well done.

Fun And Playful - CoCo的東西 East to West 李玟


This album is really fun to listen to. The melody and rhythm is fun and refreshing. I listen to it while I'm doing programming, feeling really energetic and motivated. I guess it will be great for listening while you are driving too.
As compare to those albums in the 90's, this may lack of those deep and sad love songs, which I did enjoyed so much. Hopefully she can do some of those in the future album.

張敬軒 Hins Cheung 感情.生活 Love & Living

He has once again surprised and surpassed my expectation on this new album. No signs of slowing down. There are new elements in this album, more soothing ballads, some dance track that he did very well. The vocal has improved, he didn't over do it but still managed to show its power and emotions. I believe this is only the beginning of his musical journey. All in all, I like it!

Karen Kong


This talented local singer often overlooked by the densely populated and over-hyped music market. I started to notice her when the local radio station 988 started to play her songs. What do I like about her? Of course her voice, very powerful but yet easy listening. It resembles Coco Lee when she sings Chinese song and Siti Norhaliza when she sings in Malay. Oh yes, she does sing in multiple languages and she does it very well in my humble opinion. I like all her slow number like Li Dao, Cinta Ada and some of her fast number too. Sedap!!

All the best to her singing career.
