I got an hair cut last Saturday. I've been keeping my hair long that annoyed me with this humid weather that I couldn't stand. Finally made my decision to cut them short right on the shoulder, trimmed, layered and fringed.
I got this new fringe but I'm not sure whether it suits me. I didn't take any picture of myself but hmmm maybe later you will see what am I look like.

Ulu Yam
It always been a complaining post in every month after past few days never update the blog. Now I'm right here after finished the publishing deadlines, finally; as usual. Wanted to post the activities during the weekends but there's no time.
So, just want to post some pictures here.
Looks nice that away from the hectic city and workloads. It was time for a relaxing and tranquil acts. It was past 2 weeks ago. My colleagues which were Jeffery, Ken and me went to Ulu Yam for waterfall. But then we didn't went for the 'waterfall' instead the mini downstream. We couldn't find the waterfall as we all were not familiar with that place.
We started our journey on Sunday late afternoon towards from Batu Caves to Ulu Yam direction. Sunday afternoon was a good time to have fun at waterfall. Less people. Less traffic. Less noise.
We took our brunch at the Ulu Yam town at mamak. Ken stated that 'maggi mee goreng' was the best to eat, so far, far away from town. We couldn't find the best local dish: 'Loh-mee'.
We had a good time although 3 of us nothing much else to do but soak in the cold clean water while shivering and trembling. I didn't soak in cos I wasn't prepared with extra lingerie. The whole time I was the camera-gal holder to capture the scenes and pictures.
R contains Adult Situations ;P
This coming weekends might have plan for another visit to the waterfall of Ulu Yam.

Spider-Cat
This morning while I was waiting for a taxi to go to work, my cat; Cum-Mon tried to impress me. I was standing outside the house's entrance gate, there he climbed up the gate like a spiderman. He reached to the top and walked like a ballet. Then I quickly take out my camera-phone to capture one of his stunts.
Although this might load very slow, I advise to pause the video for a while before play.
After his stunts, the taxi came and I carried him down before I left. I scared that he might jump over the fence that reach to neighbour house.

Adobe Photoshop World Asia 2006
Wednesday; the whole day I was not in the office. Off for attending a free workshop/seminar organised by Adobe South East Asia.
It begins at 9.000am at Hilton KL til 5.00pm. It started with 2 Speakers who were Ton Frederiks, Senior Application Engineer, Adobe Systems Benelux, Holland and Marianne Young, Solutions Engineer, Adobe Systems, South East Asia. Both of them were presented quite good that most of the attendees didn't fall asleep.
That workshop is mainly talk about Adobe Photoshop CS2 top new features that work efficiently in editing, processing and file handling with Adobe Bridge. Marianne and Ton showed alot of tricks and tips on certain command/short-cut keys to create and artwork with an image. What I like most of the feature in Photoshop CS2 is the 'Vanishing point' which match the perspective of a surrounding area.
The workshop has 3 part session which are Photoshop Geeks, Darkroom Academy and lastly the Photography Live. The Photography Live session was bad because the Speaker was dull and boring with his speeches. Mostly he talked more on the product rather than his own portfolio/achievements. Some of the attendees were sleeping that I managed to capture one in the picture.
Overall, that workshop is an advantage for me to learn something new in their software although I'm still using the old version of Photoshop.

Why 'back then'? Just for your information, I'm freaking damn lazy person or you may say that I have little effort of exertion to use up a whole roll of film in my fully manual camera.
If you follow up my blogsite contents, you could have read this in 'FRIM'. I did stated that:

Taste of Summer at Starbucks
Last Sunday went to attend an invitation from Starbucks Coffee. I was given 3 invitation passes and I invited Jeffery and Ken to come along. It held at Starbucks Coffee 1Utama (Old Wing) to celebrate their new drinks in their permanent beverages.
The event was crowded with 2 clowns, DJ and alot of baristas and staff. The event were opened for the invitated guests where we were given privileges to drink whatever they provided like Iced Tazo green tea, iced water and Iced coffee. They had a corner of free body-paint. Most of the staff had painted on their faces or arms/hand. The guests were not left out.
The event started at past 3pm where the guests divided into 3 group where accompany by the staff leader itself. The game is starting with booth hopping where given an introduction of certain new drinks/foods to taste and drink and provided with a question to win the game from each booth. There were 3 booths; 1)New Frappuccino drinks: Java Chip & Chocolate Cream Chip 2)New hot Coffee drinks: Kopi Kampung, Brazil Ipanema & Peru Ipanema 3)New summer food-Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin.
From a group itself divided into 2 team where both team need to compete each other to win the game. How ironic. My group - Green, split into 2 where my team was the loser that lost mostly to the young generation who were energetic and more paying attention than us. Jeffery and me were in a team where else Ken was in another team with the youngsters. Whatever the game was, my team will lose pathetically.
So, Ken's team won the prizes. Next was the lucky draws section and Ken got lucky to get picked that his tagname's number was called. I got nothing but got into finalist on Best Summer Attire category. They called out 3 finalist in Best Female Summer Attire and 3 finalist in Best Male Summer Attire.
I was wearing shocking pink pant with vibrant orange V-neck shirt. Sadly I didn't win anything, again. But luckily that we were wasn't empty handed when the event was over. Every each guest who leave the event were given a goodies bag.
At least, I got something from Starbucks. :)
Summary: Starbucks Coffee is going to have their new drinks; Java Chip Frappuccino Blended Coffee and Chocolate Cream Frappuccino Blended Cream in their menu as to replace their promotional Rhumba Frappuccino, permanently. For those who love the mixture of coffee and chocolate, this is the optional for you.
Frankly, I prefer Java Chip Frappuccino although it tastes very sweet and the mixture of their rich coffee, cocoa and chocolate with milk that blend perfectly into smooth yummies delight.
Just ponder, I received the Starbucks International newsletter on their summer fruit Frappuccino blended beverages;Pomegranate Frappuccino® juice blend and Tangerine Frappuccino® juice blend for tropical retreat. How come in Malaysia they never introduce or make some promotional period for these drinks during this hot summer season. Instead they were promoting the Java Chip Frappuccino Blended Coffee and Chocolate Cream Frappuccino Blended Cream. Does it clash with the drinks on the hot summer days? Kinda heaty for the body.
I read the press release that stated:
Heard the rumours that Starbucks Malaysia has done with their own research/review that our Malaysians don't accept these fruity drinks. How wonder...

“Starbucks hand-picked these flavors to capture the essence of summer,
knowing that our customers want the most refreshing beverages that surprise and delight their senses with appealing ingredients and unexpected tastes,” said Michelle Gass, senior vice president of Category Management. “The summer months – particularly July – are typically the ‘hottest’ times of the year for Frappuccino® blended beverages, our new thirst-quenching flavors are sure to tempt the taste buds throughout the year.”

How unfortunate. Must be tasty for a perfect summer refresher.“Both beverages contain fruit juice, are naturally fat-free, low in calories, cholesterol-free and completely non-dairy. And like all Starbucks beverages, they can be customized with any flavor of Tazo® tea – caffeinated or caffeine free."
