Sometimes I can't help but wonder if I have lived a lie all this while. Blindly and ignorantly picking the bits and pieces that I only want to see or hear within my reality.... eschewing the rest into blissful oblivion.
Have I been in denial?
I'm conflicted and upset. And for now all I can do is pray for the strength to sit thru my current predicaments... and that what I must do will come clear to me in due course of time.

Right. That's that. On to happier things.... (yay lots of pictures!) I shouldn't really be dwelling on the depressing stuff now....
I'd like to introduce everyone to a very special friend of mine. I've been keeping him in the dark for quite some time, but within the past few weeks I've grown somewhat attached. So, guys and gals, without further ado.......

Meet Destroyer, my second hand 13 year old Proton Wira!
Lol don't look at me like that... I was inspired by the license plate number to come up with that! Oi knowing me... it could've been worse. XD Haha taking some pictures before he becomes too abused....... (Reversed him into my dad's car within the first week. I am not kidding.)

NOT BAD AT ALL, huh, for a 13 year old car!! Destroyer's previous owner is a Singaporean dude who has taken amazing care of the car.... and has even done a couple cool cosmetic and engine mods. Shit - guys from the gym absolutely REFUSE to believe the car's mine!

And that's the notorious muffler that's so huge you could stuff a cat in it. It's LOUD. Lol. The guys all say they can hear my car even before they see it. XD But damn I love it to bits and pieces... sometimes I wind down the windows while driving just to hear the engine!

Some very brief UPDATES on Malaysian bodybuilding....


Sazali Samad has done it again, bagging his 5th Mr. Universe title in Doha!
Clicky HERE to read more about it.

And the 1st WPKL Inter-Gym & Clubs Bodybuilding Open Championships will be postponed to March 2010 (TBC) due to lack of sponsorships. :( Very sad news indeed as I have friends amping up for the competition. Hope to hear more in future!!

Haha and back to fun stuff.....
My sister-in-iron Lilian was down in KL for the weekend and I have been looking forward to seeing her again and catching up, especially before she flies off back to the US of A. But what I wasn't expecting.... was a dinner at Concorde Hotel, KL (to think I wanted to wear a training top and shorts..... =.= wtf)! All thanks to the doing of my so-called "date"... who also happens to be The Beast himself......!! XD


Waiting for Terry and Lilian.... Aren't we all happy it's cheat day!?!? XD
Bah, that loose t-shirt does him no justice!! Wong is actually preparing for his pro shows in 2010, and is currently weighing a sweet, solid 120kg+/-. Will look absolutely threatening once he gets all cut up!!!!


The buffet spread! *gets excited* Yeaaay!!!


The cafe had a very nice and casual setting... perfect for group outings and get-togethers with friends.


Good food too!! :D They had these amazing broiled beef ribs like the ones at William's - I had so many!!! And hooo boy... didn't the 4 of us decimate all those thick, generous slices of codfish!!


The garoupa Lilian nearly kissed...... XD


And my fave section, as always.... the desserts!! :D Yum yum!! Oooooh cardio tommorow...


And here.... are the two most glamourous gals of the Malaysian bodybuilding industry!
Lilian looking beautiful as always, and I can only dream that I would have a killer bod like that one day in future!!


The 4 of us.
See lah. We ladies get all dolled up for the night and you two fellas turn up looking like slobs. PFFFT. XD How I love you lot.


Post-dinner.... chilled out at the cosy Havana Club for drinks.

Was such a great night out and felt so good catching up with everyone. :D We should do it again sometime soon. Have a safe trip to the States, Lilian - I will miss you loads and loads, babe!! xoxoxoxooxo

9th November 2009 marks another significant milestone.
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.

Hm. Wonder how long this lazy mood shall last. Training has been bleargh. Not doing half as much cardio as I used to before the filming. Just find it so, so hard to keep myself motivated at times! :( I've been told to take an ENTIRE WEEK OFF and come back fresher and hitting harder but I know my conscience won't have any of it.

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

Life is just much more beautiful when you're with me...

This is gonna be another one of em' long posts... It's a reaaaal plus when your parents totally love and trust your boyfriend =)

I spend almost 3 days and 2 nights with Ernie this weekend... Mom picked him up from his place before coming to get me from college on Friday... and then it was to True Fitness again. Then for the night we attended this breast cancer awareness/orientation night, "The Pink Thing" at Taylors College PJ. Su Fen was in charge of the deco and so I thought I'd drop by to check out what she's done... and also cos Kims has been terribly underinvolved in college activities... tsk. And all the more I should attend when entry is FOC! ;-)

The event was held in the courtyard... which looked really cool in contrast to the uber concrete-ness of Taylors Subang... and they have the coolest restaurant too!!

The event stage... or whatever you call it...

Check out the crowd yo!

Us being very hot and sweaty... and Ernie doing the people's eyebrow... lol

So we decided to duck into the restaurant where there was aircon!! Check out the crowd outside watching the performances...

The restaurant was pretty crowded inside also... There was a simple buffet spread for dinner but we didn't eat any as we had dinner already back at my house

Kimmie being Kimmie... attention-seeking and overdressed. XD
Hey I still adhered to the theme okay... Pink bracelets!! Hehe

Closeup of the wine glasses at the bar... pretty~ ^^

Self-taken shot of us sitting at the bar...

And this one taken by Su Fen =)
WHY DOESN'T TAYLORS SUBANG HAVE A CHUN BAR AND RESTAURANT!?!? T.T

Then they closed the restaurant to shoo everyone outside for the performances... =.=

See that dude on the stage? Yea he's wearing a PINK tank top!!! Semangat.... lol

Our very enthusiastic emcee, G.

A performance of slow Chinese songs by this guy named Ludwig...

and Malaysian artiste Mia Palencia.

This band, Frequency Cannon was due to perform as well but by then we were already feeling really hot and tired... and headed out for a breather.


Chilling outside

Wheeee I like how my arms look in this shot!! XD

Ernie stayed over at my house on Friday... cos my parents and bro were to go to Bahau on Saturday... and believe it or not they're letting Ernie stay at my house to keep me company over the weekend!!!! I get to have him aaaaaalll to myself!! Hehe... So on Saturday morning my parents dropped us off at True Fitness before they headed off. Met Azlisham there too unexpectedly... =) Then it was to Ernie's place for lunch...

That... is apple + watermelon + flaxseed + tuna. I'm serious. And it tastes damnfrickingood.


And that's Ernie making his banana-tuna shake...

And after that it was to KLCC for our day out together.

Remember my pants from Anatomi? Well I got em' altered yesterday by my neighbour, and here they are!!


;-)

Ernie lookin' sexy XD


Camwhoring in the fitting room with an Everlast jacket I was trying on ^^

Us sitting outside near the fountain... brought back memories of our beautiful Valentines Day earlier this year... ^^


Cos I'm soooo obsessed with my nails...


Attempting to look bitchy-gangsta XD


Ernie off-season... hey c'mon u gotta give the guy a break from all that dieting...!!! Hahahaha...

Then for dinner we headed to one of my fave places to makan... William's! It's this mamak place by the roadside near the old LimKokWing in Kelana Jaya. The food is good, and portions are huge... on top of that it's cheap and William prides himself for being able to come up with almost anything his patrons ask for!!

Really rich, thick mango juice with generous amounts of watermelon and longan... Oooo bliss...


The butter soft-shelled crab spaghetti I ordered... this was featured in a newspaper write-up some time ago. It's quite ok la... Still prefer my beef cordon bleu... But the crab was really good and there were huge amounts of squid and prawns in this too!


Ernie's beef rissoto... This is the BOMB!!! Lots of thick cream, cheese and butter... and boiled asparagus and huuuge beef steak pieces topped with chopped bacon bits and MORE cheese... Mmmmm... and when we were paying for our food, William leaned across the table to Ernie and whispered quite audibly to him that asparagus is an aphrodisiac......... lol. Funny la. G


Damn I'm hungry again........

Then it was a bath... and lots of cuddling and having our precious time together in each other's arms... talking and sharing and just bonding late into the night until we fell asleep... =) And waking up the next morning to see the face of the one you love and to feel his warm body right next to yours... Sleeping in late just so we had those few extra priceless minutes holed up under the blankets feeling like nothing else mattered or even existed... Oh God... I went to heaven and came back again =)

And we went to The Curve on Sunday!! ^^


Cool pic I took in the taxi on the way there... My bracelets were reflecting the sunlight and I thought the reflections looked so pretty~


Haha lol... ^^



Spontaneous shot taken by my sayang... =) Goodness this can pass for something to add to my portfolio!!

Trying to look Japanese-Anime-cute. WTF. XD Excuse the bit of string poking into the side of the photo x.x Aiyooo... damn potong la... spoil my photo!!! T.T


A chinchilla at Pet Safari!!


Doesn't it just make you wanna bring it home?? ^^

Went to try out this new restaurant called Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. It's a restaurant which theme is based on the movie Forrest Gump. Really interesting and whoa the waiting list was just craaaaaaazee!!! Prices similar to TGIF or Chillies... and food is awesome.

You turn that metal sign over to show "Stop Forrest Stop" if you wanted to be attended to by the staff. And they put the sauces and tissue paper in that metal bucket behind it. =)

Our "All Across America" appetizer... or something like that... All the food on the menu have pretty canggih names... lol. This cost like, RM42.90... for an APPETIZER... but it was really huge with a whole assortment of stuff and tasted really great...

The portion on the right is the spicy chicken strips from the appetizer, which comes with a mayo + blue cheese dip. It's so, SO good!!! And the one on the left in the dish is a spinach and cheese dip for the tortilla chips...

And THIS.... is the showstopper. You know how Kimmie is such a sucker for desserts!! It's actually called "That Chocolate Thing" on the menu! Whipped cream and ice cream on a flourless moist chocolate cake drenched in hot chocolate syrup in a tall jar. Yum... It's so good you gotta taste it to believe it.

Oh and I finally got my Fashion Banquet membership card... after SO long... And I finally got a new tube of mascara... got so sick of stealing mom's... Then we went to Borders after walking around... and then head home after my dad sms-ed me to tell us they're back in PJ already.

And it's back to college tommorow.... Argh... Well thanks, Ernie for an unforgettable, enjoyable weekend... definitely has recharged me to take on whatever lies ahead this week. AS exams coming soon!!!
