Ernie and I have been with one another for 2 years. Yep... we've made it thru thick and thru thin... thru the rough patches and prickly times to come to where we are today. Looking back it's like whoa - we've come a long way to be here. Seriously makes you wonder, what the future has in store for this relationship. Well my boy really has outdone himself this time. He had reservations made a long, long time in advance, with lots of planning going on behind my back, even making the effort to learn how to drive down to KL.... to bring me to the posh fine dining French restaurant, Cafe Cafe. 
I'm finally here! After talking about it so much and hearing so much about it from Su Fen after she did her training there~ 
Amazingly cosy interior with ambient lighting 
They got these pretty crystals dripping from the ceiling too that catch the light every now and then.... *love* 
Check out their business card too... elegant, no? :D 
Ernie all dressed up :) 
One of the starters... comprised of lamb and some creamed potatoes that were SO well seasoned! I was very surprised to taste such an explosion of flavours. Damn awesome stuff. Haha yea. Fat Kim loves food posts. 
Finally getting a taste of what everyone's been shouting about - Foie Gras. Yes it's THAT good. A little crispy on the outside and on the inside it's buttery, and literally melts in your mouth, and has none of that icky liver-y taste. Gosh this is so sinful..... and satisfying.... :D 
Ernie ordered escargots in garlic butter sauce which were not to bad either! 
Clams in white wine sauce.... I'm not too big on clams so I guess I can't really comment. Ernie did say the wine does go with it very well tho. 
And this I've been dying to try since Su Fen's been singing praises about it. LOL. Their Wagyu beef cheeks in Burgundy sauce! And yes they actually do come from the cow's face. The meat has been simmered in wine for over 5 hours, and is just so delicate and well flavoured. This dish definitely lived up to expectations!! The lemon sorbet and hot chocolate cake we had for dessert was pretty good as well. The sorbet was also served up in a cute shotglass! Thank you Ernie for the great dinner and all that hard work you put into it.... And thank you for the 2 years of being my significant other, and putting up with all my crap. I wonder what the future has in store for us. And I hope it is something bright and promising. Happy Anniversary, love.

Shopaholic alert! I. Should. Seriously. Stop. Spending. Ei but when was the last time I hung loose eh? I've been looking out for a chic new handbag for some time too anyways. My old one is.... well.... sad. And I only have one really nice and sleek (and overused) going-out bag, and one teensy black dinner clutch. I think its something I do need to spend on this time round. So off I went to many different places to look for the bag of my dreams - the fluffy black + pink Juicy Couture tote I fell in luuuurve with months ago. Guess I was pretty out of luck. :( Tsk. That's the problem sometimes when you wait too long to buy something... wanting to think it over "properly" and "wisely" before spending... and then when you make up your mind and go back it's gone... and you hate yourself for waiting. =.= Happens all the time. Hmph. Anyhoo. I didn't get my Juicy Couture... but I stumbled upon the sweetest, neatest Loewe bucket bag ever!! One of the newer ones too, I think! Strange eh - I'm not exactly a fan of Loewe but this one............ Saw it on the website the previous day.... went out and snagged it the very next!!!! Haha all of a sudden so rajin to blog.... wtf. I must be in a pretty good mood. 
Isn't that just the cutest thing ever??? *love* It's small, stylish, easy to bring about... but because of the shape of the bag it fits alooooot of stuff! 
Totally love the side compartments for my handphone too! No more rummaging thru all my junk looking for one bloody phone and getting all paranoid thinking if I left it back at the shop/restaurant/toilet/car/gym............ 
Check out the cute prints and the neat metal badges that come with it too! Oh gee~ Kim is one very happy little girl! XD It feels damn bloody good being high-manteinance once in awhile. Hell. Every girl should be pampered once in awhile. I don't usually hit town and pull out my wallet like this but.... y'know I've been scrimping and saving so long and working my damn butt off... Had to deal with so much emotional shit the past few weeks that god-dammit, I'm not waiting upon someone else to make me feel good. So yeah. My custom necklace arrived a coupla days ago. I wanted it to be perfect, pulled out all the stops. And here it is now! 
My commercial or glamour name, "Vanity", in 925 silver and gold plating. I even paid whole load of extras for a Swarovski diamond + setting in place of the dot in the "i". 
Worth. Every. Fucking. Cent. And yea I didn't get to have my JC handbag. But... oh Christ you do know how much I love that brand..... Hence my final splurge..... 
Pics taken from Ablinc.blogspot.com . This here is a set of gold charm bangles. Juicy Couture immitations. The quality may pale in the face of the real ones here and there... but why care. They're pwetty. 
Oh I am such a sucker for the cute, rhinestoned bling. And that's it for now! I think. Haha. I'm really looking forward to the weekend! My big sis Lilian is coming down from Penang to visit, and I am really hoping to catch up. :D Maybe squeeze in a workout together!! P/s: I have NOT given up on my Juicy Couture handbag yet. =.= The search is SO on!

On top of that I've been feeling pretty PFFFT about some matters at the gym. =.= But I know I need to start kickin' it. Lol. I'm getting fat. Especially now that I'm not dieting anymore and seem to be permanently carb loading...... on durian dodol and ice cream and Cheezels and Nutella and everything else..... Oh wait I DID do cardio...... 3, 4 days ago I think. 
Terry Fox 2009. At the Lake Gardens. Ho-hum. Nothing very much tho... big crowd all running together and getting sweaty, hot and bothered on an otherwise sleepy Sunday morning. OOOOooooooh but they were giving out free muffins after. :P Lol. Yes I'm terrible. Ah wells. In conjunction to my very lazy mood... I shall have a massive food post on here. 
Thick toast at Ming Tien... after one of the days of filming.... This has gotta be like.... 3-4am....!? Woot. It was okay I guess. I'm not a fan of thick toast... but I sure do love ice cream!!! 
This was taken very recently.... The aftermath of one of my all-you-can-eat Sakae Sushi escapades with Ernie @ Curve. 42 plates. 80+ pieces of sushi. We sure did give them hell. I also acquired this very recent addiction... No thanks to my darling boyfriend.... 
Popcorn. Yeap. Damn cheap stuff too. A great big bag of kernels for only RM4. 
So you pop them in a microwave oven like so.... 
And 3 spoonfuls of kernels gets you a huuuuuge bowl of the stuff. I'm having lots of fun experimenting with different toppings! Huhu. My current fave happens to be peanut butter + Milo. XD Oh I've also melted a Mars Bar in there before..... XD Yummeh. I've also taken a trip down to Swensens in SS2 with Rahul, after one of our shoots.... one of my fave places to go for ice cream. It's been ages and ages since I've last been there! Gosh the last time I had an Earthquake was when Mich was still in Malaysia! That long ago!!! 
Some berry ice cream thingy we ordered... cannot remember the name. But it was damn good stuff. Lol. Strawberry + mango ice cream with blueberries and peach chunks. Sweet, sweet sin. 
Rahul playing with his new iPhone.... 
Cos Rahul happens to be vegeterian there wasn't much choice on the menu... we decided to go with this fried veggie appetizer dish. VERY generous servings, I kid you not. Surprisingly very light and crispy too! I kinda expected it to be soggy and oily but it turned out great. The pineapple BBQ dipping sauce was also really good. 
Deep fried mushrooms. This one wasn't too worth it. Came out soggy and didn't taste too good either. =/ And very little, for the price you're paying for it..... 
Oh and mom introduced me to this new vegetarian place... there have been several branches popping up all over the place including Taman Paramount. It's that RM2 for 1 rice + 3 vege place.... lol. And I got all this stuff for just RM2.50 (I asked for extra tempeh). An amazing deal for so much food!! There's quite a wide variety of dishes to choose from also. Seriously wouldn't mind eating there everyday if it wasn't that loaded with carbs and fats... it's so cheap!! Haha. You hungry yet? Oh dear God.... I am SUCH a fat chick at heart! :P

Following pics, as indicated, were taken in a very casual setting. Neither one of us were in a true "working mood" so to say. Just a few shots taken for the sake of fun and having something to do. Lol. Yay I'm looking decent for a change. I need to work on my expressions alooooot. Far too many photos have been ruined by my stupid deer-in-the-headlight look. Best thing is - I don't realise it until I see the photos!!! Barrrrrrgh. PFFFFT. 
Emo kid....... XD 
One of the faves.... 
I totally loooove this area of the garden. Willow trees have a very ethereal feel to them, don't they! 
I look asleep =.= wtf 
And yah. My fave pic XD And thats all fer now. I'm in a seriously lazy mood. ZZZzzzz.

Again. Lol. Okay technically it's still brown. And yes I know I went orangutan barely 2 months ago... BUT as we all know those darned hair colours never never NEVERRRR turn out like how they look on the damn box........... =.= So yeah. Pfft. Didn't exactly get the colour I wanted. So I went to the wholesalers at Sungei Wang. They recommended me this dodgy looking Japanese brand... (I've no idea what it's called the whole box is covered with Japanese writing) and said that yes it WILL turn out 90-100% like the sample.... Lo and behold it DID. XD And I'm soooooo happy!! It's now like this candy caramel-ey sorta light brown.... hehe. And my platinum bits got bleached even further they're like white now. LOL And ooh I'm shooting tommorow. Thank god my hair's the right colour this time lol. But UGH... I'm so irritated cos my period had to come and I'm feeling so insanely bloated and ugly... Oh wells... look out for the photos when I get them! In the meantime here's a pretty backdated pic from a shoot with my dear friend + (soon to be regular) photog Rahul, with my old, darker hair. Excuse weird expression.

And I splurged on an RM50 hairbrush too. Oh why would I do that!? Like wtfness you can get hairbrushes from pasar malam for, what, dua ringgit!! Heh. It was 100% boar bristle. And boar bristle paddle brush at Acca Kappa would set you back RM600. PAH. Thats some overpriced pig hair, eh. But it seriously does wonders for your hair. I never understood what the hype about natural bristles was about and blah blah blah... a hairbrush is a hairbrush...... some days I don't even brush my hair....... untiil my makeup artist used one on me during the shooting of Mandi. Seriously... it feels awesome on the scalp and makes your hair feel so nice and sleek. I'm a convert now. Lol. Oh been meaning to share this for quite some time... and since I got no photos to upload... I don't usually pay very much attention to what that's going on or playing on the sound system at the gym... but one particular song had been playing on MTV for quite awhile that caught my attention. First coupla times it was like, naaaah. But one fine day I just stopped, looked, and listened properly. Cheee, it's pretty addictive. And now it's one of my fave cardio tracks. LOL. And yea the lyrics are pretty ouch. Haha. So without further ado, here is Silly Boy, by Eva Simons. For some strange reason I'm not able to view or embed the official video due to some copyright restriction.... but if you do come across it, you may notice her style is very similar to that of Lady Gaga and Rihanna. I think it's a great song nevertheless! XD Ooooh. I think I could be getting re-addicted to online shopping again. Tsk.

So you want to screw mine to see what you missed through me. You think it's as fun or as simple as one of your tasteless Singaporean/local chinese dramas. Well it's not. Wakeup call. Sigh...Sure could do with some donuts right now...

Was down with fever, flu, cough, sore throat - the works, right after I completed the filming. So I have been incapacitated for the past week, sleeping pretty much all day and all night on antihistamines. That brings my MIA status at the gym up to 3 whopping weeks. Whoo. I've really let myself go this time. Yesterday was my first day back in training and dieting. Friends are all commenting that I've lost my cuts. Arms were much tighter before the shooting... face looks bloated now... legs thicker... so it's back to square one again. :( First day back SUCKED donkey balls and I felt so weak with my calves cramping up doing raises. UGH. No matter.... in no time now.... will be back on track. I have to!! I'm having bad vibes about MotoGP. Might not be doing at after all. Been having ups and down over the past few days... currently don't really know how to feel. Guess I do have things to be thankful about. For example, I've secured my shoot for the 31st!! Met the photographer and gym manager. It's been craaaazzeee, being my first self-directed project. But it's something I've been wanting to do for a very, very, VERY long time and I'm working extra hard to ensure NO screw-ups. OH and I've finally managed to download and finish watching Tuah Kembali, after so long! Damn I went thru so, so many sites to find it... Yea it's some local comedy-action TV movie that was released in July. I'm not a big fan of local movies to be honest... Haven't even watched any of Yasmin Ahmad's epic, epic ones (even tho I've been meaning to! Just never got around to!) either. So yea anyways... I went out of my way for this one because 1 - the trailer looked interesting and 2 - (okay this is the real reason lah lol)

Heck. How often do you get to dump asam pedas on Jaclyn Victor's head??? XD And of course, being in good company always makes the working process alot more pleasant. Thank you to everyone on the production crew and makeup team... and Mok who has been sending me home every night. Oh and of course.... Terry, Lilian and Ibrahim (who shall be christened from this day forward as Abang Kentut. And NO I am NOT suffering from "withdrawal symptoms", thank you very much!!!). Thank you guys for making it so much fun. Especially Lilian, who has been like a big sister to me. It's really amazing how close you can feel to someone after 10 days. I hope we all shall meet again very, very soon!! And without further ado, here are some pics from Terry's cam!
