What is the children biggest fear? No toys, no friends or no cookies? Like many of us, their biggest fear is trusting the wrong person especially the person that suppose to care for them.  

My previous Stop Child Abuse post mentioned about physical abuse. This time I am going to emphasize on sexual abuse.

Who would be the culprit? Who will be the sexual child abuser? They might be the parents, siblings, relative, babysitter, teacher, foster parents, neighbors or friends.

What is sexual abuse? Sexual abuse is sexual act between adult and child including penetration, incest, oral sex, rape, sodomy and intercourse. Not only that, fondling, exposing children to adult sexuality, commercial exploitation and violations of body privacy also consider as sexual abuse.

I would never want to see all these kind of sexual abuse to happen again. If you think about it, sexual abuse not only involves physical damage but will leave a long term emotion trauma to the victim.

What will happen to these poor victims? They need to live their life in fear at all times. Home or Hell? Home supposes to provide shelter and love to defendless children but it turns out to be their hell if sexual abuse happens.   

Some signs of sexual child abuse:

  • Fear of particular person including family members.
  • Avoidance on things related to sexuality including rejection of own body.  
  • Interest in sexual acts
  • Excessive aggression
  • Seductiveness

If you happen to come across all the sign above, please stand up for these children. Child sexual abusers shall not be tolerated and shall be punished with heaviest penalty to avoid future reoccurrence. 

We can make a difference by “RAISE YOUR HAND, STOP CHILD ABUSE NOW!” Support  “STOP Child Abuse” and report to the authority if you happen to know that anyone is committing in this violent acts.

Close your eyes and imagine how you feel if you are abused physically? Wait.. Don’t close your eyes now else you will not be able to read what I posted.  Sorry, I apologized. Apologize on what?

When come to child abuse, I should not joke about it. This is going to be a serious post to address on child abuse particularly on physical abuse. STOP child abuse! That will be the final message to all.  

What is Physical Child abuse? Physical child abuse is an injury resulting from physical aggressiveness. It involves slapping, hitting, pinching, kicking, beating, burning, choking, pushing, shaking etc.

Actually I would never want to see any child abuse acts at all but considering burning and cigarette burn are the common child abuse acts, I would never want to see it happens again.

Cigarette is already bad for health for both smoker and second hand inhaler. The act of burning with cigarette is a form of torture, inhuman and should not be tolerated.

Some signs of physical cigarette burn child abuse:

  • Burns marks especially in private or hidden body parts
  • Child resistance to go home
  • Child fear of adults

Children require love, care and secure place to grow up. They are incapable of defending and weak in protecting themselves from adults’ abuse acts.    

We can make a difference by “RAISE YOUR HAND, STOP CHILD ABUSE NOW!” Support  “STOP Child Abuse” and report to the authority if you happen to know that anyone is committing in this violent acts.

I am Angel. Nono.. my name is not Angel. What I am trying to say is I am DiGi Angel. So, do I have a pair of wing? No.. I don’t fly for sure. What I do as a DiGi Angel?

Besides signing up for my favorite brand, DiGi, I do nothing! However, I get the latest and greatest updates from the brand, be part of an exclusive community and be the first to know about the promotions. More importantly, it is FREE!(Visit www.digi.nuffnang.com.my for more details)

Nah.. I am not going to bore you in this post with info only but to share on something Hotter and Smarter for Blackberry fans. OK ! Let me begins..

OK? Yes. OK! That is a simple way to explain the 3 main HOT features that I prefer most in DiGi Blackberry Torch 9800.  

Why want to be complicated? I want an integrated SMART phone with camera & video recording capabilities, entertainment centre and the ability connect me to the Social Feeds. Also, more importantly, zero hassle.

DiGi Blackberry Torch 9800 is the perfect phone that I am looking for.

Call me bias because I want to win this phone. Who don’t right? This smartphone has many capabilities or features that others don’t. Bigger touch screen, longer battery life and both keyboard & touch screen all in one phone.

I am very certain that this is a “All in One” dream phone for everyone.  

Wall Features? Yea.. I put couple of intuitive interface snapshots on wall to make the wall features interesting. Attractive isn’t it? DiGi Blackberry Torch 9800 makes the user/device communication more effective with creative visual fluid interface.

DiGi Blackberry Torch 9800 makes Email, messaging, browsing and organizing easier with just few touches.  

I used to carry camera, phones, music player, watch, laptop and other gadget with me when I travel. Crazy? No. All are essentials, right? Gosh… I can tell you they are so bulky, heavy and make me look like an idiot.

I tried many smart phones in market but none address my hassles. Solution? I just found one. DiGi Blackberry Torch 9800, the “All in One” smartphone, embedded with all Hot Features is the ANSWER.

My life is Hotter with DiGi Blackberry Torch 9800. Life is not going to be the same again and Man.. I look so Smart too :P

Does the DiGi Ad poster catch your eye? DiGi just launched this phone with GREAT deals! Choosing the right phone is one thing. Choosing the suitable telco is another major decision. Which one should you go for?

DiGi of course! Why? With DG Smart Plan, you only pay RM 1499 to get a brand new Blackberry Torch, and own all the phone features that I have just highlighted.  

Some short info on DG Smart Plan.

Surf SMART – Monthly Internet Unlimited plan for only RM 68
Call SMART – No minimum call usage
Save SMART – 100% rebate on the Internet Unlimited plan
Roam SMART – Unlimited data roaming for only RM 36 a day

Many will say, other Telco provide cheaper deal. You only pay RM 1488 instead of RM 1499 for the phone package. As a smart consumer, let ‘s do a rough calculation for comparison between DiGi and other Telco.

True enough that DiGi phone are slightly more expensive but if you include monthly commitment all together, it turns out that you can SAVE RM 539 to RM 1189 if you subscribe to DG Smart Plan. Smart right?  

Solely relying on good post and creative pictures to win the contest? Er.. I don’t think so. You need to pray and hope too! That is what I do now. Pray and Hope!

To judges: I know that my life is HOT now but DiGi BlackBerry Torch 9800 will DEFINITELY make my life HOTTER.

Feel bad that you are ‘skinny’ like me? Dieting? Er..Dieting is not in my dictionary YET. If you feel like adding some weight, growing horizontally or adding calories, you are going to love this post.

If you are in diet plan, stop reading or it will ruin your hardwork and fat burning exercise :P

Tony Roma’s is a well known restaurant for delectable Ribs, yummy Seafood and scrumptious Steak. I dropped by this place because I am craving for Ribs & Steak. Don’t ask! Don’t know why and I am not pregnant!

Currently, there are few promotions on going at the same time. One of it is Premium Wahgu Steak and wine promotion. Please take note that on every Monday to Wednesday, Kids eat for free with any adult entrée ordered (dine in only). Yes.. it is FREE!

I think I am still qualified for Kids Eat for Free promotion although I am slightly bigger in size. (not my fault if I reach puberty earlier, right?)

Tony Roma’s has won many culinary awards. Don’t ask me what are those awards because I am only interested in the food not the awards .. hehe..

The ambience is not as quiet as I thought but the setting and décor are really classy. If you decided to have meeting over lunch, casual meet up, I bet you want to drop by here.   

Tony Roma’s is also famous with the sauces, Original, Red Hot, Smokies and Carolina Honeys. I tried myself and I prefer Smokies as compared to others. All the sauces taste well with steak, seafood or chicken.  

I attempted to dig the actual ingredients in the sauces from the manager but unsuccessful. Silly, right? I am sure they will not disclose the secret ingredients that make them special. Lame but at least I tried !

I bet you are curious on what I have ordered.  I ordered Pina Mango (pineapple and mango drink), Asian Bites (boneless chicken), Rib & Steak and Crisp Spoon (Apple crumble with vanilla ice cream). No need to say much but I am sure you can guess how tasty the dishes are from the pictures below (no photoshop!)

Let me guess? You are curious on how I can finish all those? What I have that you don’t? Er.. Simple!  The capacity and the bottomless stomach. Where I keep all the food? You will know when you see me in person! :P   

If you are not in Pavillion, you can still hunt for Tony Roma’s in Sunway Piramid, The Curve and The Gardens. How much I spent? RM 118 in total. Slightly cheaper than my food hunt in Fisherman’s Cove @ Starhill Gallery.

There is only one word to describe this place, SatisFATing!

Money is never enough? I bet everyone agrees with that.. duh.. but what if you have too much money to spend? Aha.. Where will you spend it, how will you spend it and what will you spend it on?

Last time, I used RM 50 to get delicious and filling food in SS2 Foodcourt. This time, I have decided to spend more in Fisherman’s Cove. Am I rich? Am I having too much money to spend? No. Of course not.  

Life is short! You need to pamper yourself from time to time right? Fisherman’s Cove located at Feast Floor in Starhill Gallery, KL. The wooden & bamboo décor makes this a perfect place for romantic dinner.

My requirement is simple. I am willing to pay more if the food is really good but I am not willing to spend even a penny if the food is lousy. I know my wallet is going to bleed if I come to this place but hopefully the food is really good.

Let’s see what I have ordered. Chicken & Fish Platter, Medallion Beef and watermelon Mojito as my appetizer, main dish and drinks.

From the glance of it, the food portions are really small. The fact is, the food portion IS REALLY REALLY SMALL. I am concern if my fat can be fed sufficiently.

Let me focus on what I really like here. I like the Chicken & Fish platter. The fish texture is soft and the sauce tastes really good. The fish is so fresh and it doesn’t have the fishy smells that many dislike.

The half cooked Medallion Beef tastes great too. The beef texture is slightly tenderly and boiled button mushrooms taste just blended nicely when eats it together with beef.  

Last, the dessert! Choco Pudding. Pertly make and it took about 15 minutes to prepare. I must say that this is the best choco pudding that I have ever tried so far. The choco is not too sweet and the orange ice cream makes me craving for it until now.

I spent about RM 180 in total. Expensive? Well, a little bit but I will come back again for sure. WHY? The money is worth spending because the food tastes awesome.

Shahrul, the assistance manager even dropped by to introduce himself and promoting the RM 3.50 per plate offer from 3 – 6 pm daily in Fisherman Cove. Worth it don’t you think?

iPhone or Blackberry? iPhone or Blackberry? Arrgh.. Which one should I go for? If I go for iPhone, I will be viewed as an entertainment addict but if I go for Blackberry I will be viewed as workaholic or heavier texter.

I am not going to start the rival between iPhone and Blackberry here but the world is splitting into TWO now and I need to take a side?

What if I am both entertainment addicts and workaholic or heavier texter?  Should I get two phones? NOOOO….

Each half split into its own world, the touch screen world and the keyboard world. From then on, both worlds never meet each other again and the gap is growing wider and wider each day.

Those who live in touch screen world claims that they are more happening because of bigger touch screen for entertainment, always have simple and intuitive interface, sleek and fashionable design because they do not have bulky keyboard, portrait/landscape touch keyboard and touch screen always makes hand and eye coordination better.

On the keyboard world, they claim that they have longer battery life span due to low power consumption, less prone to mistake when typing as many familiar with the keyboard layout, the keyboard not taking the screen space, they can feel what they type and some even claim that they can type with their eyes close.

Hearing from these two worlds, it still did not answer my questions on which one should I go for? Both have their own advantages. OMG. This is going to drive me crazy! Why can’t I have all the advantages from both worlds into a one phone?

Wait a minute! Celcom just introduced Celcom Blackberry Torch 9800 smartphone.  That’s the perfect phone that I am looking for. The two worlds merge into one again. Now, I can have the best of both worlds in one phone now. Not two but ONE phone!  

Why am I claiming that? What so special about this phone? Celcom Blackberry Torch 9800 combines both keyboard and touch screen in one phone. It incorporates all the advantages from both worlds.

Bigger screen, intuitive interface, long battery life, portrait or landscape keyboard etc. Name it and you got it !

At the end of the day, it is not about deciding on which side you will go for but having all the flexibilities instead. Why we need to choose or compromise if we can get all the best in just one phone.

Before this yes, you have to choose a side but now, with Celcom Blackberry Torch 9800, you are the ambassador of merging the two worlds together. Not only that, you get to enjoy all best in both worlds.

What about the size? It must be so bulky after incorporating both keyboard and touch screen in one phone. Aha.. I know you are going to ask about this? The size is surprisingly smaller and lighter than other smart phones.

If you go out with touch screens gang, you are in the same channel with them. If you go out with keyboard gang, slide your phone and you are in tune.

If you use Celcom Blackberry Torch 9800, all will know that you are a smart consumer who enjoys your life as much as you enjoy your work. A well rounded and balance person.

Where to get it? Did I mentioned Celcom earlier? Celcom Blackberry Torch 9800 is officially launched on 29 October 2010. Not only that, there’s a one-day-only crazy deal going on in conjunction with the launch! Crazy Deal? How crazy?

Are you going to believe me if I tell you that you can experience celebrities’ lifestyle? Have you ever wonder where they go, what they eat, what’s their favorite food? I might have the answer that you are looking for.

 All you need to do is pay a visit to Restoran Onn Kee. You might not bump into celebrities there but who knows if you are lucky. Why am I saying that? Am I bluffing? Of course not !

Chin Han Guan Biscuits shop owner recommended me to have lunch at Onn Kee restaurant, the famous Ipoh Hofun (kuey teow) restaurant apart from Lou Wong restaurant.

Famous? How famous? When I walked into the shop, I noticed that there are “walls of fame” capturing all the famous local, regional and international celebrities who visited the shop before.

Yes, this is one of the celebrities’ favorite restaurant and food in Ipoh, Perak.

If you are “anti-crowd” person, don’t come to this place because this restaurant always filled with customers. You literally have to queue up for seat and queue up to place your order.

The last time I went there, took me about an hour to get a seat and until the food is served. All the food is freshly made and pity the workers that has to work non-stop every day.

According to the owner, he claimed that they served more than 100 chickens every day.  The owner must be earning good money, probably better than any professionals out there.

I ordered steamed chicken for two, taugeh (bean sprout), soupy ho fun, dried ho fun and 2 drinks. I particularly like the chicken textures that are very soft and tenderly.  I only spent about RM 20 for a delicious and yummie lunch in Ipoh.

I have to admit that I cursed when waited for 1 hour but the effort was paid off.  The chicken ho fun tastes really good and I will definitely come back again.

What will you do when you first meet up with new friends? Shy, quiet, boring or maintain ‘cool’? If you are happen to be one of those that I mentioned, I think you are in wrong crowd and definitely sure that you are not a blogger.

Taking Extreme Cheesy 6 Pizza Contest as an excuse,  Jimmy suggested a small gathering between bloggers. This is the second gathering after Inniters’ 1st Gathering (Part 1) and Inniters’ 1st Gathering (Part 2). Turned out that Jimmy ffk but the gathering did not stop just there.

The response to this event is so good that we need 3 long tables to accommodate us. I am not going to introduce all the bloggers that attended this event but there are total of 14 of us.

The bloggers are supposed to drop their comments to show their existence! If not, too bad. Find out who is this blogger that camDUCKING (male version of camwhore). With his cute 0-5 actions.. BLUEK, feel like puking..

I must say this gathering was much more happening than the first gathering because this time, everyone seems like sharing a lot with each other.

One particular blogger that I should highlight is Yuh Jiun. Rather than bubbly, talkative, kacau-ing people in virtual world ..OMG.. she is so different in real world.  She don’t talk (shy qua), she don’t eat (unless you force her), she don’t drink mushroom soup, she don’t camwhore.. weird it must be us. Let’s see what happen later.

After that, we decided to hunt down Jessy. This is quite a big challenge because we don’t know which booth she is in (she works at part time promoter), how she look like in real person and worse is we don’t know  her number.

While hunting Jessy in Midvalley Exhibition hall, I bring out my camera to shoot at the bloggers. Suddenly these three promoters started posing for me. Weird?..I do charity most of the time. So, not to waste pretty girls effort, I shoot their pictures hoping that my blog traffic will increase tremendously (see blogging tips at  DiGi iPhone4 – Pimp My Music Party @ Velvet, Zouk KL).

Then TikkoSS said, “How to find Jessy here? What if she dressed up in Bunny Suit?” Immediately after I said that, we spotted A BIG BUNNY. All of us walk toward the bunny and start knocking its head and ask, “Hi, is Jessy in there? Are you Jessy?” POOR BUNNY.

Finally, Hilda managed to locate Jessy. I was a bit reluctant to call her because I thought Hilda was playing a prank on me. At the end, I decided to start “my move”. Start by saying, “Are you Jessy? We have whole bunch of people waiting to see you !” Cheap moves but work. You should see her priceless facial expression.

She was surprisingly shock that we visited her. Not only that, all bloggers supported her in signing up for SNAX (www.snax.com.my). In trade, she spent few minutes with us to camwhore and camDUCK with us.

Coincidently, Coco was there too. The male bloggers gave way for me to pose with her. Bernand gave me a God knows what leaflet and asking me to hold it. Turned out, that was some sexy Marilyn Monroe handout (that is why I shrink that pic to avoid myself from being label as pervert!).

As usual, some decided to leave earlier with the common excuses such as exam laa, curfew laa, dog needs to poo laa, cockroach needs to eat laa and bla bla bla bla BUT the outing did not end just there. 

We went for pool. Not swimming pool but pool pool! (although I know a lot of girls wishing that I am in swimming trunk :P ). Vince and Bernand decided to eat girls’ tofu (taking advantage) by teaching them how to play pool. TikkoSS attempted also but failed miserably.

Fussball was next. We don’t have Ronaldo or Beckham in the room but all of us are equally good. Besides some of the goalkeeper decided to take bribe, the fussball competition was a great fun. Even Yuh Jiun flip from timid to happening :P

I am sad for those that did not make it for whatsoever excuses :p. However, don’t be too upset because blogger outing/gathering will not just end here. There will be plenty of opportunity in the near future.

Fun is just a word, you need to feel it yourself!
