Hoorah! I just found out about the Scrabbles application on Facebook. Thanks to June, whom I met from playing so much Scrabulous. I was really, really sad when Scrabulous was scrapped from facebook. Nothing could be as fun as making-words on a board and trying to get the best and longest word. I tried Word Challenge but after a while, the same words that I had to key in kinda bored me. But I would still carry on with that now and then to better my score and to catch up with my brainy pal who scored in the excess of 150K.
O ya, please find me at scrabbles on facebook if you couldn't find me anywhere else.

O Mamma Mia!
Made my way to the cinema to catch the movie Mamma Mia and boy, was I happy I did that! The cinema guys didn't exactly make it easy for us, want-to-watch-ppl. The show wasn't screened at Queensbay Mall but only at Prangin Mall or Gurney Plaza.
I love Abba-songs. I grew up listening to them. So I know the songs pretty well. Although it's awkward and unnatural that ppl could break into songs and dances at any time, it's a musical! Musicals are supposed to be that way.
The casts were well chosen. There were some big names - Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth. I don't know the rest of the casts but that doesn't mean they are not famous or not talented. I don't know everybody! And everyone who watched the show would agree that the ensemble of the casts worked well.
The number of songs that was included in the duration of the movie was incredible. I really felt I had my money's worth. I love all the songs and the dance moves.
The gals sang beautifully! I refrained from commenting on the guys' singing. I have to credit Colin Firth on his, but somehow, I already knew he could sing. I couldn't remember the title of the song he sang on the boat to Sophie but it was something about the summer with Donna.
For some unfathomable reason, I was alternating between laughing out loud and crying my heart out (during some scenes) throughout the duration of the movie. It could be nostalgia or my new acne meds acting out. I wonder what happened to my Abba cassette or CD.
The first thing after the movie that I did was text my friend asking him to get me the DVD for the show which is not released yet. I wanted the DVD because I wanted to be able to sing to my heart's content and dance all out. In the privacy of my living room. Ha! Ha!
P/s: The author has sinced grabbed the very pricey tickets for the Mamma Mia show in Istana Budaya end of this year. She had to call the hotline 1.5 days before getting through to the sales person. Phew! It's hot!

The Fridge - how to live without?
My Toshiba. Fridge. Which I almost couldn't live without these days. Lovin' it.I could come back to cold juice. Have left overs. Keep the creamer for my early morning cuppa tea. Keep some vege. Green vege to boost my calcium intake. and other nutrients as well. And frozen prawns and chickens for when I have time to try my cooking skills - those are supplied by my mom.
And a place to place all my fridge magnets! Finally!
My Kitchen
Here's a shot of my kitchen. What chinese kitchen is without the requisite wok? So, I had to have one. And the rest are typical stuff: my cute rice cooker, kettle and thermos flask. And ofcourse, the hob and cooker hood. Still no toaster and oven.
In Love
I'm in love! With my condo. Chez moi is really mine (and the bank). It comes with the whole shebang and, in the words of Carrie Bradshaw (who is she?, SATC, season 5, I think), zsa zsa zsu. I guess in layperson's term, the novelty is still there. Butterflies in my stomach. Eager to be home. Cleaning here and there. Spend money. Giving gifts. It's tiring work. But worth it.
It's not exactly the most perfect of places but it fits me, I think.

French Toast Chez Moi
This was one day last week, after a week of hankering for french toasts, I finally decided to make my own.
So to prove that I did made some, here's my honeyed french toast. Two eggs, a dollop of honey, five slices of bread and dollops of butter (yummy!) for the pan.
Yay!
Eagle Eye
I'm super glad I went for this movie last night. The show was impressive. The premises of the show was impressive. The eagle eye concept and ability were impressive, getting messages off from vibrations etc. Except for the gold balls? I guess, it's possible. The interaction between the two leads was good, except the end there. Did the guy always have to kiss the gal? I sensed that that would happened at the end. Afterall, it is Hollywood. I just didn't feel it right between the two of them. Anyway, I was too happy that Jerry didn't die that that small moment was overshadowed by his award ceremony and that finally, his father could see him as he really was. Thankfully.
