This post is strictly for educational purposes only.

Is iPhone a need, trend or status? If you ask that question to your bf, be prepared that he will dump you.  Why? Guys just don’t like tough question. Don’t even attempt to ask him to choose between his mom and you. You, girls are just playing with fire.

Regardless whether it is a need, trend, or status, I just got my iPhone4 recently. Not to brag that I have an iPhone4 but my intention here is to capture the steps to jailbreak your phone so that you can save few hundred bucks just by DIY (more like for my own records too).

In case you are just out from the cave, this is iPhone4.

Firstly ask yourself before you even do it, what is jailbreak and why do you need it? If your answer is either i) to void the warranty, ii) to get free games and apps or iii) everybody do it,  then you are in right path.  

I am not sure about i) as some say that is a myth.  To me, my answer is none of above. I rarely play games on phone, I don’t follow what others do and more importantly I still want my warranty. All is simply because for the sake of curiosity and educational purposes. So, I decided to jailbreak the iPhone4.

Here is the Step 1: Check your phone version by clicking Setting > General > About .I am using iOS 4.2.1 for this examples

There are two options, tethered and untethered Jailbreak. Tethered jailbreak means you need to connect iPhone to computer each time it need to be booted to Jailbreak. While untethered jailbreak means the iPhone can be powered off and rebooted without affecting jailbreak without requiring iPhone to connect to computer.

Personally, I prefer untethered jailbreak because it is less hassles (good for lazy people like me).  Then you should download the jailbreak software from available website. I am using untethered jailbreak form greenpoisOn as an example.

Here is the Step 2: Download the jailbreak software that matches your computer operating system greenpoisOn. Unzip the file to your desktop once you finish downloading.

Here is the Step 3: Normally the iPhone4 will be auto sync when it is connecting to computer by using iTunes. To be on the safe side, back up again by right click your phone icon > backup  . This is to enable you to restore to original factory setting if something goes wrong.

Here is the Step 4: Disconnect iPhone4 from iTunes and computer after backing up and reconnect again. Close iTunes and do not unplug the USB cable until complete.

Here is the Step 5: Double click on greenpois0n.exe, click No as you are currently jailbreaking the iPhone4 not AppleTV.

Here is the Step 6: Click on “Prepare to Jailbreak (DFU)”

Here is the Step 7: Follow the screen instructions

Here is the Step 8: iPhone4 will boot the first time with verbose text on screen. This operation will install the jailbreak on the device. The device will reboot normally.

Here is the Step 9: Start the Loader application (green icon on the SpringBoard), and follow instructions to install Cydia.

Here is the Step 10: After installing Cydia, your iPhone is now load with untethered jailbreak.

 

INSTALLOUS

Is that all? Of course not. Jailbreak only work best if you have Installous. This is to teach you how to get free apps and games. Please note that this is only for educational purposes as I rarely play games on phone as I mentioned earlier.

STEP 1: Open Cydia and go to Manage section

STEP2: Go to Sources, Click Edit and then click Add.

STEP3: Type in cydia.hackulo.us

STEP4: Your iPhone4 will respring itself. You will see the Hackulo.us as a source after you press return in to Cydia. Click done.

Step 5: Now click on Hackulo.us , find Installous and click to install! Now your phone is installed with Installous.

Installous is like Apps Store where you can download games and apps in your iPhone4 with no charges. Without this, you can still purchase software that you like via Apps Store but it defeat the purpose of jailbreak in the first place right?

Theoretically, you are pro in jailbreaking iPhone now. Oh yea! The same method will be applied to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad, iTouch and AppleTV too.

Hope you find this educational material is useful especially when people are talking about jailbreak next time. 

 

* Jailbreak will not lose the pre-existing apps, setting or contacts. However, it is recommended to backup your phone first prior jailbreaking your phone. If you want to restore to original factory setting, please note that all the pre-existing apps, setting or contacts will be wiped off.

When you are broke, I mean literally broke, you don’t need to beg for money or food. What you need to do is to dress up nicely and crash some wedding parties. That is what I consider as survival tips to feed your fat.

If really in desperate need and have little money with you, even RM 5 can make you full for one meal. Let me show you how. I discovered this place along Jalan Pudu recently. Typical hawker stall by the roadside that managed to put their footprints on local newspaper.  

Of course many will say RM 5 can get almost anything but what if I tell you that this stall serves very nice Tai Poh Mee? Probably, the stall serves one of the best Tai Poh Mee around for only RM 5 (Big), Medium RM 4.60 (Medium) and RM 4.20 (Small).  

I am positive that many will confuse this type of noodles with wantan mee simply because it is also served with wan tan too. The Tai Poh noodle is slightly thicker as compare to wan tan noodle and the taste is a lot different than typical wantan mee.

What I like about this noodle? Of course is the the minced pork in soy sauces.  Is it good? Hey, if this type of noodle is not impressive, do you think I will blog about it? Why not you give it a try and tell me how do you like it.

Once you try it, I bet many will say that the portion is slightly small for a big eater like me. Don’t fret, there is a famous Teochew Fishball stall here too. It was founded in 1952. Wow, older than me.

Please don’t complaint that you don’t have money as this is not expensive too. Only RM 4 for a single bowl with mixture of various types of meatballs, fishballs, fishcakes, dumplings etc or it will only costs about RM 4.50 for take away.

This photo is not photoshop. In fact almost all pictures in TikkoSS’s Blog are not photoshop too.  So, what you see is exactly what I ate that day. Deliciously tempting? That is exactly how I feel when I have it.

Bring RM 10 with you and you can enjoy both Tai Poh Mee and Teochew Fishballs. Yes, that is all you need, only RM 10.

How many of you dare to share your nightmare? How many of you have the courage to stand up and start a new life? Many of you heard about Abuse, printed everywhere on the newspaper but WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT IT?

Recently, I was invited to the 100th International Women’s Day + theatrical play of Life Sdn. Bhd: Abuse. This event is held in conjunction with International Women’s Day on March 8. The whole purpose of this event is to send out a clear message to EVERYONE to stop all form of ABUSE!

To echo the message to all walks of life, many bloggers including well known Redmummy were invited too. Although nice foods were served prior to the real event, all bloggers were too busy mingling around in sorta “ice breaking” atmosphere while waiting for celebrity ambassador to officiate the event.

The event officially started when Kal Joffres, Yuen and Daphne presented their opening speech and signing the MANifesto. WE, the invited guesses were also queuing up to sign Women: 100 MANifesto as an action to support this event and share it via social networking, Facebook.

The team welcomes the audience with approx. 5 min video clips sharing the recent news and pictures of those unfortunate Abuse victims. The room turned into pin drop silence awaiting for all crews to take their position.

Child Abuse? It is not just in the form of Physical Abuse – Stop Child Abuse but it is also includes Sexual Abuse –  Stop Child Abuse and Emotion/Psychological Abuse and Neglect – Stop Child Abuse. Many of the culprits managed to get away simply because all of us being ignorant?

Many of the victims no longer can live a normal life. They live in fear and the series of unfortunate events will be imprinted in their mind forever.   We might say we know and understand their feelings on what they have been through but DO we really know?

I am deeply honored to experience the courage of the survivors who brave enough to stand up in room filled will full audiences and share their dark moments. This is the quality that is not easy to gain unless with the strong determination to stop the cycle of ABUSE.

True and sad stories about rape, abuse, child abuse, animal abuse, sexual discrimination etc  were shared and I am touched and felt sorry about what they have been through. There is nothing much that we can do to change their past but WE can make a difference by stopping all these acts.

Personally, I enjoyed this play very much. It is not dull and gloomy at all. Besides sharing the true stories, the play involves live singing, dancing, acts and performances. Most feedbacks that I received from the audiences were commendably good.  

Many feel connected with the victim and can feel straight from the bottom of their heart on what the victims been through AND determine to STOP ABUSE!

Shortly after the play, everyone is gathered right in front of the Actor Studio Lot 10 for lucky draw and continue signing the MANifesto. Honestly, I can see everyone felt impressed with play and wanting to speak to the crews immediately.

Before the event ends, all of us, bloggers tried to gather around for short photo shoot and of course, not to forget the photo shoot of the mini cupcakes that showing WOMEN 100.  

Last message that I have for all readers: Share this with all your friends, family, colleagues, relatives etc. We might be small but together we can make a difference! Stop ABUSE!

Please visit the official website at MANifesto and share with your friends by sharing Women 100 Facebook or follow their KakiseniTweets.  

The Sign It, Share It, Do It MANifesto is also a partner to Churp Churp and NuffnangMY.

The secret of slimming down your tummy is by growing the fat first. Growing FAT? Yes. If you do not have sufficient fat, how do you slim down right? One secret of dieting is by combining breakfast, lunch and tea break into one meal.

I nearly fainted that day when I tried that. LOL. So while desperately hunting for food, I came across Restoran Chilly Pan Mee in Kepong. What catches my attention is not only the food only but the shop name.  

I suspect that Chilly is a typo because Chilly literally means appreciably or disagreeably cold? Doesn’t make sense right? I bet they meant Chilli. Hehe. Notice the number there near the shop. That is not part of the advertising here.  

That’s proly some loan shark number or professionally called financial aider :P . This shop is supposed to be air-conditioned but I have strong feeling that they did not turn it on. Simple and clean restaurant I would say.   

What Special here is of course this Chilli Pan Mee. It was served dry with mince pork, friend eggs and anchovies. If you don’t have the mouth like Indians (not trying to be racist here), you can opt not to put the chilli paste.

The chilli paste is somewhat very special. It is hard for me to describe in words but I scented strong chilli fragrant. When I put inside my mouth, surprisingly, it is not as spicy as I thought but slightly on the sweet side.

After a while, the spiciness started to get stronger and stronger. I ordered Sa Lei drink (umbra) to cool down my tastebud. This drink only cost about RM2.50 :)

If you are not a fan of dried mee, try this Traditional Mee Hoon Kuew. The picture might not be as attractive but this is the mee that serves with a lot of ingredient. Fu Chok, eggs, vegetables, anchovies, deep fried onion etc.

Both the noodles are equally good and surprisingly it only cost me about RM 14 in total. What a good deal. If you decided to go there, let me know! I am so looking forward for the chili pan mee again!

Getting involved in Blogging is the most awesome things that happen in my life. Awesome is not depending on who you are or what you do but very much rely on your crowd. Yes, I am referring to you, all bloggers out there!

Don’t call me shoe polisher as I am just stating the fact. I guess many of you will agree with me too. Why am I saying that? We are not just “the freak” who sits behind the screen, blog and blog only but we do actually have quite an active social life. Much more happening that you can think of.

Let me share with you about my recent bloggers’ outing AGAIN. I started my day when Kian Fai “dated” me for breakfast in Sri Petaling. Not with him only laa ( I don’t do 2 men date .. lol) but an informal meet up with other famous bloggers!

Despite they are famous, all are humble so I decided not to mentioned their names here. (just to keep low profile a bit). Surprisingly all are my age, Young and Dangerous. Then both of us rushed to Midvalley to meet up with other bloggers. Eli, Qi Tyng, Spectre and Jayren.

Ops, as I like to blog about food, how can I forget our lunch venue right? We fed our fat at Spaghetti Grill. How was it? You mean environment or the food? Okok.. I will share about both ok? The environment is cozy. A little too quiet for noisy people like us. Ops..  I mean talkative ppl like us.. lol

The place is not really pack initially but got slightly full during lunch time.. The ratio of customer to waitress is 1:1 when we first arrived. So generally, they are fast in serving our drinks but slightly slow in serving our food.

Before we detail the menu, all of us decided to order set lunch. Why? We are not rich people, k? Set lunch only cost about less than RM 10 for each set. It includes one main course and free flow of softdrinks. Yes, FREE flow! Maybe I should say, we are not rich but we are smart. Pretty good deal, isn’t it? Hehe..

We ordered many many food, simply because we felt happier when we dine with happy people:P . Yes, as simple as that. Nah, I am just pulling ur hairy leg. Actually, we are just too hungry. LOL. Some main course shown in photos includes Fried Chicken Tender, Meatball Spaghetti and Fish and Chips.

Also, Seafood Spaghetti, Hawaiian Pizza and some potatoes stuff (not in pictures coz it ended up in all of our stomach). DO we like the food? I have to say I like my fried chicken tender except I have the feeling that chicken is slightly soak in oil.

I am not sure about what others think about their food. Perhaps you should seek their professional opinions. Hehe..

Then we went for “I love Hong Kong”. Is it a good movies? I don’t know but I completely ruined my reputation when I burst out of loud laughter many many times. I can feel that the whole bench is shaking mad. Not earthquake the whole cinema I hope. Honestly, you should watch it.

After movie, we decided to hop into Starbucks. Not for coffee actually but more of spying at what ppl do in Starbucks, for example, their facebook, msn, etc.. lol.. hahaha.. Then all of the sudden I realized that I am hanging with a bunch of mostly singles.

So sad isn’t it? Aren’t we human are meant to be in pairs? WHY they are still singles? So, I decided to brainwash and teach them the “Art of Love”.Er.. that sound so weird.. hey.. I am not talking about 18sx stuff, ok? No adult content involve at all.

I think the sharing was pretty successful considering many were still awake after that. lol. I bet all will be attached in no time. LOL.. I know many of you will start to ask..WHY AM I NOT INVITED?

Well, stay tune at my Networkedblogs or Twitter or Facebook to know if we have any future outings. Everyone is welcome for sure! (male preferably.. ops.. female preferably.. lol ..)

Funny enough someone asked me what are my favorite cookies when I was 8 years old? I hardly even recall what I wear yesterday, how can I remember all those cookies that I used to like? Er.. Maybe there is one that I can recall, the sugar flower biscuit as what I mentioned in Chin Han Guan Biscuits.

Why not I tell you what I is my favorite cookie now? I know many times I have been posting about good place for food, or at least those that I like to go. This time I would like to share about my favorite cookie, Oreo to ease your curiosity.

I am very certain that many love this cookie too. I am not going to tell you more about Oreo because I know you at least heard about “Twist it, Lick it, Dunk it”? You are right, that is the favorite slogan for Oreo advertisement.  

This is not an advertorial post but I would like to share with my readers what I received from my Chinese friend recently. I was totally stunt by a big packet of Oreo, not just an ordinary Oreo but it is Strawberry Oreo. It is STRAWBERRY Oreo!

In this big packet, it consists of four smaller packets which mean 4 x of fun time. Many believes that chocolate is stress reliever beside ice-cream and sex. I know many of you will drop your jaw when I mentioned about sex as stress reliever but please don’t start to have those imagination now.

What I am trying to say is that Oreo, the popular chocolate sandwich cookie is my stress reliever. If you know me long enough, I love strawberry. I know normally, straight guy don’t like something to do with pink and strawberry because that makes them look soft. I don’t buy that.  

Who you are is not determine by what you like to eat or your favorite color. My friend knows that I love Oreo and strawberry, so they decided to courier this to me! This is the best cookies ever. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to melt my heart. Oreo + Strawberry are just sufficiently enough to do that.

If Strawberry Oreo is served with strawberry milkshake, then it will be perfect :P . Eh.. That might be a good idea. Maybe I can try it next time. Strawberry Oreo dunk in strawberry milkshake. Wink wink.

Close your eyes and imagine. Instead of white filling cream, now it filled with pink strawberry cream. Take a small bite then a big bite. Yum yum. I will not give this commercialize expression here but Awesome isn’t it? Once open it, I just cannot resist myself until I finished it.

Luckily, I just finished one small packet and still have 3 more. Don’t ask from me because I will NOT share it. It’s ALL mine.. hehee.. Well.. since I am a good guy, let me know if you are interested, maybe I can ask my friend to get it for you too. I am off to bed now. Probably I will enjoy this cookie in my dreams too! LOL.

Dreaming of having a big house with nice garden? It is never a dream and you can materialize that. How to achieve it? You want hard or simple way? I bet everyone knows the hard way. So, I am going to share what I think are the easy ways.

Normally, I only share 2 ways i) get a rich dad ii) get a rich wife but today, suddenly I have enlightenment after talking to Carmen’s Mom over the Facebook. Yes, you heard me right, Carmen’s Mom. Ok, I will not detail about our ‘conversation’ but I found the third way; get a rich foster parents. Hehe.

Look at the house, I bet you are having the same thought like me but hey, please queue up! I am in the midst of negotiation with Carmen’s Mom. Lol. Why am I in Carmen’s House? Stalking her parents? Nah… she is kind enough to invite bloggers to her house for potluck and cny celebration.

 I know Chinese New Year is over but never too late to share a great gathering, right? Many bloggers decided to crash her house and that is including me. Wait a minutes. Not only bloggers are there but we have the luxury of mixing Carmen’s Family member and friends too.

Like usual, the party never starts on time. All thanks to Hilda and “the boyfriend”, Melissa and Sherry for being extremely “punctual” (laugh sarcastically). Forgive them as they bring FOOD. You can take revenge on money but not FOOD.

As you can see, there are plenty of foods. What I find it interesting is the food presentation for these two dishes, the mini tomatoes with orange and sosej and mini tomatoes with tomatoes and cheese. Wah so many “and” in one phrase… What an English…

And we also hired a chef in “dissecting” the roasted chicken..lol..I am just kidding on that but I must say that he is really skillful. Else how can we enjoy the boneless chicken? Thank you to whomever you are. Don’t criticize but old man tends to forget names sometimes. Hehe..

Ohh I nearly forget that we had a short birthday celebration for Amelia before we start munching for food. DustyHawk was the mastermind behind all these. I can tell Amelia was so surprise that her facial expression is priceless. She is 20 this year and we share the same age (Ask Xue Ren if you don’t trust that I am 20 years too!)

Food and birthday celebration are just a small part of it. After that, we move to games tables. We are bloggers and we have good ethics. That is what being quoted throughout the whole night. We don’t gamble.. we don’t drink.. and we hardly sings too.

Hahaha.. I am trying to speak the opposite for what actually happened on that day. We started off with card games (I wouldn’t consider this as gambling when the banker keeps winning). Then a series of singing and music performance by the Bloggers’ Band (I just make it up). Lovely atmosphere and all of us enjoys very much.

If you follow my blog long enough, you will realize that most of the bloggers’ social even involves a lot of photo session, camwhoring and camDUCKing too. Weird pose is a must, group photo is a must and photos with girls are a must too. Wink wink .. hehe

Man I can tell you, beside the awesome night, we are really good poser too. If you want to be part of the poser, join our gathering next time and you feel the fun sensation for being a blogger. That’s what make us blogger, coz we are self proclaims cool people.. lol..

Chap Goh Meh, the 15th day of Chinese New Year is around the corner. Chinese New Year almost coming to an end. For those of you who still short of angpow, you still have few days to catch up. For those of you who still have itchy hand, find your “kaki” and start to gamble. Hehe..

Not trying to praise myself but I don’t gamble. I know many other bloggers will shoot at me when I say it but I have better explanation on that. Honestly, I don’t gamble! In fact, I don’t know how to gamble but I just know how to win money. Hehe..

Ok. Maybe there are a lot of my readers are still underage so I will cut the crap about gambling and talk on more appropriate topic, UNO card game?.. Ops no way! I mean FOOD. Which place this time? It is Restoran Grand Imperial in One Utama.

The name is already indirectly hinting that this place is slightly pricy, high class, nicely decorated, good service and GOOD FOOD too. I’m not trying to apple polish this restaurant and they did not give me any discount either when I write about this. So it is only pure honesty.

This is the place where a lot of family decided to have their reunion dinner. Same goes to my family. Don’t complain that it is too late to write a reunion dinner post when Chap Goh Meh is just few days away. Better late than never right?

What’s good over here? Lou Sang again? Er.. oh yea. This is my 8th times of Lou Sang. We, including my nephew and niece are involved in tossing the Lou Sang every year. My nephew really tossed so high that some of it “fly” into my camera back. Ewww..

I know Lou Sang is also called Yee Sang but this Yee Sang does not have Yee (Fish).The smart chef is smart enough to realize that many don’t like raw fish but they like raw scallops instead. That is also why I find this yee sang is remarkably special.

That is seriously only the appetizer. It is similar to starter for 3 or 5 course meals in western world. My mom ordered a lot a lot a lot of food for 5 adults.  She ordered:

  • Giant Garoupa with Garlic
  • Pan Fried Japanese Kurob
  • Braised Golden Coin Sharkfin
  • Whole Abalone (5Head)
  • Claypot Rice with Chinese Wine
  • Double Boild Hasma with Almond
  • Nian Gao & Lotus Paste Pastry
  • *few that I missed out..

What strike me are these 3 dishes, the preserved meat which include duck, pork, chinese sosej and sosej, whole Abalone (5Head), claypot rice with Chinese wine. Honeslty, I don’t quite like the taste of the preserved meat. Slightly too salty for me but I guess that is the original taste of preserved meat. Lol

The combination of clayport rice with 5 head abalone mushroom is just perfect. Personally, I feel surprise that abalone got 5 head (To me, it looks like no head at all?). The fragrant rice that cooked with wine looks like nothing special but it actually tastes really good. It is filling too. Hehe..

Finally the dessert, Nian Gao (Year Cake) & Lotus Paste Pastry. This is the first time that I try it and I love it straight away. The Nian Gao  is added with shredded coconut right after they steam it. NICEE.. and everyone is served with sea coconut and longan.

Poor Mom has to pay RM 787 for all 5 adults and 2 kids. I am glad that mom really enjoyed the companion and the laughter that we shared among us.

It is never easy to organize a blogger gathering. It will be more challenging if the crowd involves more than 10 people. What if I tell you Bloggers just had 3 bloggers gatherings recently in 3 different locations which involve close to 30 people?

Recently? That is like ages ago. I know many people will say that but well, I am too busy celebrating Chinese New Year. You don’t expect me to hide behind computer screen during CNY, right? Also, I tried to give opportunities for others to update first. Well, the best always come last. Hehe..

First location was in Old Town Coffee Shop. We have almost 10 people reached here few minutes before “real” event. The real event here is referring to Lou Sang at Sri Melaka, One Utama. One thing about bloggers, they can mingle very well with each other even though to some, this might be the first meet up.

Grabbing the opportunity to increase my traffic, I have decided to shoot mostly on female bloggers and all other famous male bloggers too. Hoping that their reader will be mine too (cunning laugh). With ample of time, we decided to go for first round of food here. Mainly toast and drinks only.

When close to the actual start time of the main event, we slowly move our butts to Sri Melaka (close to Dragon-i, One Utama). Why Sri Melaka? You might see only Chinese bloggers in photos but we have Malay Bloggers too! 1 Malaysia maa.

Before the main highlight of the night, many bloggers already cannot wait to pose for camera shooting.  This is nothing odd. Many of us were holding professional camera. Whether we are professional photographer or not is secondary :P

We occupied 4 big round tables and almost half of the restaurant. Despite we are civilized bloggers, we do make some noise too. Luckily no one shut or embarrass us. LOL. Ohh, never a blogger gathering is organized without food.  This time has no exceptions too. S

Since I love about food, I have included some food photos that we had that day (only from my table). We ordered hotplate tofu, pandan chicken, kerabu mango and sweet and sour chicken.  I will not comment on food this time as the highlight is about bloggers this time and not the food. :P

I bet I did mention about Lou Sang earlier. What is Lou Sang? Lou Sang also known as Yee Sang, Prosperity Toss or Lou Hei. It is a mixed raw fish salad with shredded vegetables and variety of sauces. Toss it with auspicious wishes and you are ready to bon appétit. Normally, it costs about RM 60 per plate depending on the portion.

All four tables have lou sang that day and I get to enjoy the fullest by having the toss for 4 consecutive times. Wonderful isn’t it. One secret on lou sang. If your table is still clean after that, all your auspicious wishes will not come true. So, I did a pretty good job in “messing” the table.. Hehe..

After all the fat feeding time, camwhore and camDUCK moment is back again.  All nicely dress for the outing and bet it will be a big waste if no one is taking the photograph. Try to cut down my crap coz nothing to talk about photo session except snap snap and snap.

At points, I think the guy in red looks awesomely handsome and cool. Wonder who is he? Not to miss a chance, I manage to ask “someone” to snap a group photo for my own sweet memories. Yes, there are a lot of cute, pretty and hot girls too! So, join us next time.

Many decided to go back due to some curfew issues or other plans. Few of us (13 in total) decided to meet up again at Kayu (some mamak restaurant which I have no clue where exactly that is?).  Our outing never bored but some decided to blackberry and some even decided to take a quick nap. Hard to please everyone right?

Or some need to do reporting? I mean to mom laa or bf laa.. or whoever in the reporting list. Lol. Don’t feel offended when I say this ok. I am just teasing. All I can say, everyone is having a great fun that night and very much looking forward for the next outing! Join us next time!!

It will be rather awkward to blog during Chinese New Year when everyone is busy collecting angpow. It will be more awkward if I did not blog anything related to CNY. Speaking about angpow, every “young” person including ME loves it!

Honestly, I am not interested in the red packet but I am more indulge in paper notes in it :P . Bet all youngsters agree with me on this. Lol. Why? Well, with that money, they can buy the things that they like, spend on movies in cinema or having dinner with friends.

I consider myself lucky when I get to collect angpow and at the same time, get free tickets from NuffnangMY  for Burlesque (don’t ask me how to pronounce it as I have NO idea.. hehe). Also I have to thank my small little brain (last time I checked it is not detected) for generating creative comments :P

Don’t laugh ok? I already tried to be as creative as possible. You can laugh whole day about it but please don’t disagree when I say I am creative, ok? What matter is I get the FREE ticket to add some flavor in my Chinese New Year.

As usual the queue to get free tickets is always packed. The early one gets better seat and sometime limited edition freebies too. I am lucky to be one of the few to get a COUPLE seat for that day and a mini manicure set. Manicure set for TikkoSS? Thought it is suppose to be for girls.

Simple answer to that, I have long fingernail and I need to cut it (girls with long fingernails, you don’t need it to be honest.. coz you rarely cut it)

We have ample of time before the movie starts. So, fellow bloggers decided to have a quick dinner at Food Junction in Midvalley. Nasi goreng kampong and fried char kuey teow weren’t great but Bloggers + Food + Movies are just awesome.

Most are nicely dressed for camwhoring and camDUCKing. I must say bloggers are interesting and happening people who have broad knowledge, writing skills and of course colorful life too. That is also the main reason why I love the crowd so much.

AS usual again, we are the first few who are lucky enough to watch the premiere few days earlier than then rest of the world. Not to mentioned, the whole cinema is specially booked for all of us, bloggers.

I bet you have been to Midvalley Cinema many many times. Same goes to me but the feelings are so much different when it comes to Movie Premiere. Whole cinema is filled with people that share the same interest like you, blogging. You just need to be there to feel it.

Now the Burlesque (pronounce as “Bar” + “Las”) time. I purposely try to talk less about the movie. Not because the movie isn’t good but I want you to experience the movie yourself, feel the musics with your ears and watch the dancing with your own eyes.

This movie is about a girl called Eli or Alice in full (coincidently I went with Alice..and she is very delighted that her name pop up) who is trying to put a footprint in Los Angeles. She starts to build her career by dancing and later singing in a place called Burlesque.

Nuff said. Many guys go there to watch pretty and sexy girls dancing but for you girls, don’t be upset coz you get to see cool Jack too! (although I think I am cooler). Catch Burlesque in cinema starting 17 February 2011 and you are going to enjoy it.
