its Pavilion, baby!

Woohoo! Today was the day where I finally stepped foot into Pavilion! Went there with Ah Ma, Naima and her Keng Soon. Thanks for driving us, KS!

P-A-V-I-L-I-O-N

Too excited at being in Pavilion -_-"



The main reason we went to Pavilion today was to get our free Pull and Bear t-shirts which costs RM109.90 each! Siao! Now I can say that I own a RM109.90 t-shirt and make people go "Wah seeeehhhhh!!!" How'd we get the ridiculously expensive but free t-shirt? Its a long story which I won't be writing about but you can check it out here.

And since we're there, I thought that it'd be cool to film my video for this competition which I'm thinking of participating in. If y'all are wondering what's this all about, I can only tell u this: Ask no questions and I'll tell u no lies. But when I'm done with the editing and feel satisfied with the outcome, I'll post it up here and you can all be the judge of me! Now how's that, eh?

*winks*

Moving on, Pavilion was absolutely gorgeous! Granted, its a freaking high-ended place with names like Gucci, Versace, Guess, Chanel, Juicy Couture (Ahem! Will come to that later!) and many more. Its the place to be if you wanna window shop!

Have you ever heard of "from politics to a bakery"? Yes, I'm talking about our ex-Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir. He invested in The Loaf (click for more info) which apparently was a roaring success. Since it was so famous, Ah Ma and I decided to give it a try to see whether its popularity was due to the fact that its bread and pastries were really that good, or simply cos of the irony of politics meets baking.

The Loaf - duh~


I tell ya, we were spoilt for choice! Everything looked so divine and we were at a loss as to which cheesecake to pick. They were sold at an introductory price of RM5 each but if you buy in boxes, its much cheaper. Since Ah Ma forgot to bring out her cash and my financial situation wasn't too healthy at that particular time, we've decided to try the Glitzy Strawberry cheesecake after much careful deliberation!

Look at how pretty it is!


I say, it was one of the nicest cheesecakes ever! It was light and fluffy and yet, you could still taste the cheese. Then, the strawberry spread was the perfect combination of sweet with a hint of sourness. Best of all, the slice of strawberry on top was FRESH! Don't you just hate it when fruit cakes have not-so-fresh fruits on top of it? Urgh! Thank goodness The Loaf had better sense than to do that! I rate it 4 out of 5!

Ah Ma feeling high~

Wildberry in total bliss


And ooh, ooh! The Loaf also had poor little girls dressed up as Japanese dolls in sweet pink kimonos wearing colorful wigs, walking around. The concept was just too cute to not take a pic!

Somehow, these Japanese dolls lack cuteness. Why laaa~


After that, Ah Ma and I walked around Pavilion cos our filming was 90% completed and there wasn't much to do. The thing with brands is that they always have such amazingly artistic and gorgoeus pics displayed on their glass windows. Its just perfect for camslutting business!

Gasp! Horny Ah Ma!

A brave attempt to be manly, hahaha!

Marilyn Monroe wannabe *runs away from Ah Ma!*

Chocolate cream puff from Grandfather Beard or something!

This is how rubbish should be thrown - first, u bend ur back a little, turn ur head slightly to the right and pout!

OMG! Its Brad Pitt! And he's winking at me! Must act cute!




Then Naima and KS found us and we dropped by where else but Juicy Couture! *Screams* And we camwhored even more...

Its all about Juicy!

I don't even know why

Caught in the act!

Nosebleed alert!

"Huh?" goes the supposedly innocent Naima

Now I know why Naima liked Juicy Couture so much. The deco in the shop was breathtaking - it has that rustic feel to it; at the same time, its still sweet and feminine with touches of funky-ness. Hmmm~ does that even make sense? Ah, just go there and see for urself!

Ahhhh, yes. We had a lot of fun in Pavilion 'til we nearly forgot to take our free T-shirts! Luckily Naima remembered, else we'd have to make another trip to Pavilion.

amidst the hustle and bustle

Was on my way to my apartment after lunch with Ah Ma and Naima, when this caught my eye.

Hush, its asleep! :)


I simply couldn't resist taking a pic of it. It was sleeping so serenely; a sharp contrast to the world outside of its makeshift bed - rush here, rush there, trying to keep to a hectic schedule.

And when I took pics of the snoozing cat, it actually opened its eyes and stared sleepily at me for a moment before resuming its nap. Eeeek! Super kawaii lor! Somehow, looking at how peaceful that cat was lying there made me felt so relaxed.

Not a care in the world


It put a smile on my face.

my first korean class

Hmmm... With the impending exams one month away, my Writing Credit still incomplete and revisions very much lagging behind, I've decided to take up Korean language. And I plan to learn Japanese as well. Oh, and I'm currently on the lookout for dance classes. I MUST BE CRAZY.

But nevertheless, been wanting to go to the Korean class for 2 weeks now. Its just that I've been too busy to actually go. So, I promised myself that I MUST go this week, no matter what! And I got Ah Ma to accompany me! Muahahaha!

Well, when we first went into the class, we thought that we were at the wrong class cos there was no one. And then when lessons started, it was just the 2 of us and one male Korean teacher. Ahem! But then, after a while, people started coming in...

Ah, well. Our teachers were very nice people. We had 3 teachers, btw. I found that somewhat odd but... since I'm only required to pay RM10 for the registration fee and nothing else (the class was free of charge! woohoo!), I'd better not say a word.

Back to my first Korean language experience, we were given handouts on the basics of the language. We learnt vowels and consonants.

Free handouts!

Can't read? Too bad...

My notes


I say, Korean language sure is tough. Its actually pretty easy to read once u've gotten the hang of it, but the pronunciation is an entirely different matter. Oh my God... the way those Koreans twist their tongues! I think if I wasn't careful, I might get my tongue tangled up in my mouth! And it seriously was sooooo funny!

After the teacher taught us how to pronounce the vowels and consonants, he wanted us to repeat after him. Then he mixed the two up and asked us to read it. I nearly died keeping my laughter in for the entire one hour! Hahahahahah! It just sounded so alien and tongue-twister-ish and sing-song! Its like singing aloud tongue-twisters!

*Laughs*

But then again, I love it. Yes - Wildberry loves bursting out tunes with tongue-twisters. Hahaha! Its tough and challenging, and I couldn't have enjoyed myself more in a language class. Definitely beats English class back in high school! And I plan to continue this learning process. But too bad cos Ah Ma couldn't stand the complexity of it and didn't want to learn any further. She claimed that she was the slowest in the class...

*coughherbrainexpireliaocough*

Oh, oh! Ah Ma and I found out that one of the teachers (he's the President of the Arirang Club) was Ke Ping's housemate! Now, how small can the world get? If only I could be his housemate too; then he can give me Korean lessons everyday! Muahaha!

Ok, ok. Its too early to start dreaming. I know.
