Marisa's Birthday

It was Marisa's birthday yesterday. I got a very short notice of invitation from her in Friendster. It was very thoughtful to have her invitation.

Therefore it was a very last minutes of the notice, I got to shop for her birthday present. Hardly to think whether what kind of present that she likes. I have typical clueless. Though I knew Marisa since the secondary school but we don't really keep in touch that long until we were exhanging/view each other blogs.

I left the office at around 5.30pm. Reach Mid valley Shopping Mall at nearly 6pm. Helped my colleague to post some mails, withdrawing some cash from postal money and bought alot of stamps . That took me about 15minutes. I headed to Maybank to help my colleague to bank-in more than a dozen of cheques.

After I finished up with the office stuff, I tried to walk around and I came across this shop of La Zenza. I saw pairs of sexy, cute, attractive, comfortable and fashionable nightclothes that would be the best choice as a present for her.

Her size is small, so I asked for a super small size for her. Too bad I didn't take any picture of the nightclothes that I chose. Then I came across this fancy shop where they sell big pin with tangly cute little thingy on. Bought that and I pinned it onto the top of the nightclothes.

Anyway, she likes it very much and she told me its prefectly fit her body. :)
And here are the pictures:

The Devil Wears Prada Novel

I read this novel 2 months ago when I found out the trailer in Apple Trailers and caught my attention to anticipate to wait for the movie.

I find it easy to read although some of the words I need to check on the dictionary to understand more. But bad thing about this book is that there are repetition of certain plots. Certain phrases were amazingly presented but what I like the most is the last part/end of the story on how Andrea Sachs as the junior assisstant of Miranda Priestly that 'the job a million girls would die for' ended her works with her boss in Paris.

Pretty humorous that Miranda Priestly, the most powerfull editor-in-chief for Runway Magazine who is arrogant, snobbish, unreasonableand quite bitchy too portrays its character so insanely.

Anyhow, I'd seen the movie. I found out what I had read was not exactly show in the movie. Totally different, different plots. In the novel, Andrea Sachs has drunken best friend Lily who is still studying, Nate the boyfriend who teaches in school and Emily the first assistant to Miranda was helpful and good co-worker to Andy (Andrea).

In the movie shown the totally different kind of story but adapted some part from the novel. I don't know. I doesn't like the movie as its shown. Maybe I should read one more time to understand better.

Ulu Yam - Sungai Tua - 2nd Visit

As I mentioned, I went to Ulu Yam again last weekend. Actually the place was not called Ulu Yam but Sungai Tua. This time I went with more than 3 people. The same person like last time but with their own companion. 6 of us; Jeffery, Wei Yi (his girlfriend), Ken, Hui-Hui (his girlfriend), Riza and me.

We were planned to have a small little picnic near the stream. Hui-Hui brought her specialty home-made tuna and ham sandwiches while Wei Yi brought egg sandwiches. I bought a watermelon. The guys didn't bring anything except themselves.


We reached there at about 1.30pm and we used the same area but we hiked further upper stream to get a better spot. We crossed across the stream and we set our little picnic on the huge slanting rocks.


First, we got soaked ourselves and walk-about the stream then we have our little lunch. Jeffery cut the melon after its being stored into the cold water stream for a while. We ate, talked, looked around and took some photos. I brought the Olympus u720SW, the waterproof digi-camera from office to take the pictures.

Before I show some of the underwater photos, let me show the pictures of us having fun with posing. There is one photo where Jeffery was being sucked by a leech in between his toes.


And now let me present the Olympus u720SW digi-camera can do for in the water.


We spent our day of picnic at least 4 hours. I followed Riza walked around the stream as he was taking some snapshot with his gear (DSLR) camera for his own pleasure. Then he asked me to be his model to pose certain angle or became his assistant to do some stunts. And here some of his photos that I'd involved. :)
