Remembered about me talking about one of my marketing research assignment?
I am proud of how it turned out,
our hard work of transcribing case to scripts, making props , recording , pictures and video editing and half a Saturday taken has paid off.
It was presented a month ago and we got a good mark for it.
13/15 ? or was it 14/15,
anyways,
here it is :)
Till Then.

Kuala Lumpur - Sakae Sushi , Pasta De Gohan
Tuesday, October 26, 2010 //
0 comment(s)
Lately, I've been out during the past weekends with Mary,
and we had Japanese food marathon for no apparent reason at Subang's Sakae Sushi.
Told ourselves that we should like avoid Japanese food for sometime now,
well it looked little at first, and we just had to keep ordering and then ..we end up with..
Tempura,Calamari,Shishamo, SoftShellCrab
and then, we had these too..
Salmon Belly and Chicken something something :/
Food is usually good, however I prefer Sunway's Sakae Sushi better.
I think its the fried stuffs.
We ended up eating these for 2 hours
and came out from Sakae Sushi feeling so bloated after that.
The following week,
we finally settled down at Pasta De Gohan after deciding where to eat and I realised,
Gosh it's Japanese food again!
Just that its Westernish-Japanese food (:
Reminds me of the Japanese shop I went to for pasta in Singapore too,
and this shop has the exact concept, but different brand.
In Singapore, it was owned by Sakae and this is owned by Pasta De Waraku , Singapore.
This is just half of their many many selections in the menu.
Too much selections in fact its kinda hard to choose.
The pasta's price range between RM20+ - RM 40+
This is one of the sides I ordered,
Chicken Mushroom and Bacon risotto.
Taste so so good , I can't have enough of it :X
Mary's main, Carbonara Based Bacon pasta.
I personally don't really like carbonara ,
but she said it was good,
Their bacon was really nice (:
I had a Bacon, Potatoes and Asparagus pasta.
Kinda weird combination I think.
But its not bad. I love how the cheesey taste doesn't make you feel all stuffy and full after eating it.
Brushetta for sides too, they called it toasts instead :/
I tried this weird drink.
Japanese Soda,
Forgot what's the name, starts with a C but saw that red base thingy?
It's actually cherry, and I HATE cherries :(
All and all,
It is a good place to try out fusion Japanese cuisine but with a tad-pricey tags on it.
xxxxxxx
Shopped for new shoe and sandal, watched Life As We Know It too.
Starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel , I just adore them.
Make such cute couples and of course it was really funny as its a romance-comedy movie.
Other than that,
my days wasn't too bad besides being busy trying to do my event things plus ,
the responds is kinda good now.
our goodie bags has increased from RM300+ to RM700+ per person (:
andddddd
our target is 25 teams and we managed to hit 21 teams in a week.
The event is this Saturday.
I actually can't wait for this weekend to come.
Played MapleStory again.
Restarted a new character with a new job after such a long long time.
Things changed so much in there, with more and more cute monsters. Freaking noob seh (:
I will have a French Oral Mid Term tomorrow on Dialogues again.
I hate role plays.
Don't know what to expect actually. No preparation.
Guess I shall go have my dinner now before preparing the French Slides.
Till Then.

Quoi De Neuf?

I am so effin' tired right now I can just sleep till the next day,
but definitely,
it won't stop me from blogging..
and because I have a CV to update tonight and submit by later,
I must stay up.
Well, at least till I'm done.
So today marks the day,
we finally went all around the university,
promoting Golden Scavenger.
Again,
because I'm in PR.
Had to go to University extremely early,
like 9am,
supposedly French class starts at 1pm!
which end up learning weird French idioms that just doesn't link with whatever it supposed to mean,
and my day only ended at 5.30pm.
Extremely exhausting.
Had 30 of the posters and about 300 flyers distributed everywhere around the school,
and other campuses.
It's kinda a nightmare for me because I've been staring at those things for about a month.
Well I had to design them alone(because no one else seems to know how to do), though I think its ugly.
and then I still have to see it around everywhere in my campus.
I swear I had a dream about the posters when I was asleep last night.
So annoying.
Wait till they hang the banner tomorrow onwards, its even worst :/
xx
and Denise finally got her present and finally completed it.
xx
Oh and I am so in love with the Breadstory in my Uni compared to those at the mall.
It has seriously more varieties, freshly baked products, and reasonably price.
Side note,
the Face to Face noodle shop in Taylor's is very dirty! A lot of flies, but still so many people there,
don't know why.
Wanted to have brunch there this afternoon, but end up in Wong Kwok instead and the service is so damn good.
I can't believe I'm spending like RM15 minimum for food in University everyday now.
Well technically,
when we moved, it was RM 10, and now when all the shops are SLOWLY opening its RM15++!
xx
P/S : GO SUPPORT MY EVENT!
Okay , I probably should stop being random and just go do my CV now.

Till Then :D

Golden Scavenger

So the teaser previously is actually for this event.
An event called " Golden Scavenger"
Currently my fellow classmates and I are working on this charity event to help the kids in Bario
and also as part of our assignment.
Why we chose Bario?
Imagine yourself walking to some place ( just a few kms ) and you started complaining,
but the kids in Bario walk 20kms to school everyday, and to go home on the very same day,
another 20kms.
How would you feel?
Aren't we lucky to have public transports or cars to go anywhere now?
But still we're always complaining.
Imagine them.
After walking 40kms a day, they had to stay home the next day just to rest their legs,
and then continue to go to school only on the following day.
Basically,
they can only go to school 3 days a week, unlike us.
Our aim is to donate a minimum of RM3K to them under Taylor's 1Bario community project
in order to provide them a proper hostel in their school where they can stay for 5 days straight
with food provided and only go home during the weekends.
Yes,
they lived in a totally deserted and rural areas in Sarawak.
For more information on how Bario looks like,
do click this : BarioNews
So basically our event is about a treasure hunt which starts off from Taylor's University,
all the way down to Kuala Lumpur.
The only means of transport is train.
You need to have another 3 partners, that makes the 4 of you.
The team that reaches the last destination,
with all the clues given with the shortest time are entitled to a prize worth RM4K+.
Well, of course the sponsors are from various hotels too so stand a chance to win a holiday trip :O
What you have to do to participate?
1) Gather 4 person in a team!
2) Pay Registration fee of RM160 per group ( contribution to Bario )
3) Come to Taylor's and report yourself on the 30th October at 7am!
Viola, and you're done.
What will you get?
A T-Shirt + A goodie bag worth RM350++ / for everyone (What a steal!)
and of course you get to help the kids in Bario. Charity ;)
while having fun with your friends touring KL in a different way!
Come join the fun people and please help spread the news!

Kuala Lumpur - ViVo Restaurant - Timesquare , IpohIpoh - Giza
Sunday, October 10, 2010 //
3 comment(s)
Last Saturday was spent at TimeSquare with Leslie & Kelly.
We tried out a new food outlet during brunch - ViVo
well I'm not really sure if this shop is still very new or anything like that since all these while it was hidden at ground floor and is not really visible.
Its an American restaurant thats famous for its pizza and panini .
We ordered a Barbeque Chicken Pizza , Grilled Chicken and a Smoked Salmon Speghetti.
As for drinks, we had Mango Delight without cream , Choco Brownies & Mallow and a Cafe Latte.
Everything was so kinda good, satisfactory level , even the price was kinda reasonable.
I remembered our bill came and it was about RM78+ for everything.
I reckon this is one of the few places that has reasonable food pricing with satisfactory level food.
Well, later that evening we wanted to go to Giza but due to unforeseen circumstances,
the cab driver who did not tell us that he didn't know the way end up taking us to Sunway Pyramid.
He was dumb enough and lied to us about Giza being in Pyramid like as if we didn't already know its in Damansara.
So he frankly said he didn't know the place ,we figured there's no point of arguing so end up roamed around pyramid again.
Little did I know, the next day I end up at Pyramid again dealing with some stuffs with Leslie & my cousin.
Seriously, I'm really getting sick of that place because every week I will be there at least 3 times during lunch breaks and weekend it gets so annoying that I would try to avoid going there if I can.
So, this weekend it's different.
Went down to Midvalley, Gardens.
Tried out the open food court at Gardens, apparently they serve a lot of different country cuisines ,
the pineapple fried rice Leslie had.
I had Salmon Teriyaki , no picture though.
and finally from Sentral,
Giza ( and the cab driver still don't know the way until he had to ask us for the direction ).
Well, Giza was a bit disappointing if I may say so.
I would not ever go back there unless for,
1) a place to chill and hang out drinking alcohol.
2) The Supermarket
3) Tao Cuisine
The reason behind this is ,
1) spending RM54 on cabs from Sentral-Giza-Sunway ( With Meter ).
2) No cab stand at all. Called 2 cab companies and both got no cabs to deliver.
End up waiting for a cab further down the road and only to see one after an hour of wait.
3) Nothing to shop or see there as it was just a small mall.
Saw these at the supermarket and I thought it was really cute and chic.
Colourful!
Had dinner at Giza though,
at a place called IpohIpoh.
The sky was so beautiful. Purplish sunset.
I had chicken burger special.
The patty inside is wrapped with an egg served with salad and fried chickens.
It was just nice I guess.
Leslie had this claypot Ipoh noodle.
I tried out the soup, it tasted good :D
next up was the Bak Kut Teh I had this morning for brunch.
It was at a shop nearby my place and it was really yummy.
Black sauce is love.love.love.
With Chili + Cuttlefish as its base.
Looking at the pictures now makes me hungry even though I had it only this morning
What I like most is you can request to have the meat with no fats so it's less fattening.
and of course, today is Sio Sen's birthday - 10.10.10.
Got her this tumblr from Starbucks, she loved it so much that she screamed when she saw it :D
Managed to find time catching up with the guys for our long missed yumcha session at Jaafar.
Chilled till 4+am , so much to catch up on and laughed about.
I miss them already.
Little update about Uni now is,
I watched a very funny French movie that was used to be a "Must See" movie when it came out during my French Class.
I enjoyed it much because it was really hilarious and dumb :S
It's the story of Pierre Brochant who has that game with his friends: every week, they have a mission to invite to their dinner table the dumbest guys they can find and make fun of them. Hence the idiots in the title - though con, in French, is a bit stronger than idiot (and yes idiot is also a French word).

My next training will commence on the 30th of May next year.
Which I will have to start preparing the CV like this week and apply for internships.
Crazy how we have to work super early this time.
The hectic assignments and presentation life is still going on.
Just remembered I have a test going on Tuesday, probably a presentation too ( if I happened to be so "lucky" to get chosen )
Dissertation proposal :(
Lastly,
The event on the 30th of October is giving me headache.
Will update more about it soon I guess.
Till Then.

So far it hasn't been any kinder to me. Well in terms of daily happenings in life.I'm so lazy to blog about what happened yesterday.
Study wise I guessed it wasn't so bad. Though what was supposed to happened last week.
Was now all delayed to this week and more weeks to come. I should be happy, no?
I don't know. Endless pilling stuffs , and of course readings to do.
Was working on a new teaser just now. Currently, just procrastinating away.
Now I'mma head to bed and watch HIMYM while munching on Famous Amos.
Glad that classes starts at 1pm onwards tomorrow. But, I hate the new timetable!
3 continuous days of having class from 8am onwards till 6.30pm?! Just this week. The rest will be better, I hope.
Good night world.

First day of class after 3 weeks of holidays.
1) Finally got confirmation regarding the event designs I did , waiting for the emails for the amendments needed to do plus a whole lot more to do definately. Should be happy or excited about this, but I don't feel it anymore. Getting stressed out because the event is in a month time. A lot of PR stuffs to catch up on!
2) Informed about Dissertation Proposal presentation and submission in 2 weeks time. Will only know mentor by this Friday. * eyes wide open
3) Lots and lots of replacement classes this week! Especially French and Marketing. Ugh. Marketing presentation for assignment 4 this Friday. Can't wait to see the video we did.
4) Got a new group assignment on Revenue Management due in 2 weeks time. Followed by a mid-term exam next week or the week after. It depends.
5) Law case study presentation next week. Yet to discuss on that assignment. Got to rush the others already.
6) Good that Baskin Robins , Famous Amos, Starbucks and Bread Story is opening soon in Lakeside. Seriously, that whole friggin boring building is slowly turning awesome.
7) Period.
8) Had Ayam Penyet with 9 others today, and seriously the chili was the spiciest I've ever tested. The guys were sweating and turned red while eating it. Only the Indonesian girl managed to eat it like as if its water to her and she wasn't even sweating. Only red lips. So amazing.
Well I think that is too much to take on the first day. Filled with assignments and more to come. Looking forward for the better.
Till Then.
