Last weekend, I went to The Curve. The best part of hanging out there is it is just 15 minutes drive from my house and the parking fees is literally free of charge (the trick is to buy something at Ikea). Besides that, there are 3 malls you can walk around if your leg and feet can handle it. I lost count of how many times I’ve visited The Curve Mutiara Damansara but I’ve never went to a place call the Big Apple Donuts. I’ve passed through in front of the shop so many times but I’ve been put off by the price I guess.

So last Sunday Afternoon, I decided to accompany LV for a treat at a Wi-Fi enabled shop and found out The Big Apple Donuts provide free Wi-Fi. So, after trying out a box of donuts worth RM9.50 per box, I think it’s worth the price I’m paying for:

I guess I’ll be dropping there some other time soon.

It has been a crazy week for me. Blame it on this morning’s presentation and my latest obsession of playing Mayor in Simcity 4 game. I’ve overworked my poor old Acer Aspire 3683’s Intel Celeron M processor to the max. Hopefully my CPU processor wouldn’t give up on me yet.

Last week, I sent my car to the workshop. I have this thing whenever I’ve chosen a workshop, I’ll stick to it. Since Fasfik doesn’t cover air-cond and accessories repair, I went to my regular workshop located at Batu 4, Jalan Ipoh, KL. It has been over a month my car’s air conditioner couldn’t provide cool air especially when driving through the city traffic of KL. Car air-conditioning has been a regular issue I’ve been facing since I got my first car 8 years ago. My current Proton Iswara just got it air-conditioning back working after more than a year being without air-conditioning. Upon arriving at the workshop and popping the hood, the mechanic immediately pin-pointed the main problem my car is having. The cooling fan doesn’t work.

This had happened to me on my previous Daihatsu Charade car where I bypass the electrical wiring to save money on repairs. I don’t encourage you to do so because it will affect your car’s morning start. Anyway, back to my story, the mechanic then remove the fan and replace the motor with a new one. Apart from that, I’ve also replaced my broken odometer ever since it got changed after my car’s seat theft 2 years ago. Enjoy the picture below:

My total bill came in at RM305 altogether. RM185 for the new odometer, while RM110 for the motor fan repair. Hopefully this time, my car’s air-conditioner will last long.

I saw a very cool videos a couple of months ago about a freeze stunt by a group of people organized by Improv Everywhere a New York City based group. Check this out:

Grand Central New York Freeze (31 January 2008)

I find it very cool! Apart from that, there was also a No Pants day and over 70 missions that they’ve successfully launched. It has gotten a lot of mainstream media attention all over the world and it has arrived here in Malaysia as well.

Now compare what has happened on the other part of the world with the recent local attempt:

KLCC Shopping Center Frozen (30 March 2008)

They tried to do it for almost 10 minutes which I think is too long. They then got busted by the security guards.

Yesterday someone organized another one. This time, the event was spread mainly through Facebook (Improv Malaysia Group). The freeze lasted for 4 minutes with coverage by local media as well.

Pavillion Freeze (13 April 2008)

Here’s another view from another perspective:

You can read more of this event on Zestful’s blog. Personally, I don’t think I’ll ever freeze like what the people did just for the fun of it. I think it is somehow silly but if I get paid to freeze, now that’s another story.

Last weekend, while walking through Suria KLCC heading to CIMB Bank over there. I came across a small crowd having a look at some promotional gimmicks. Check this out:

MAC Cosmetics Models at Suria KLCC Concourse

They looked like a real life power puff girl don’t they? If you asked me whether I like looking at hot girls, my guy instinct would instantly say ‘yes’, but of course LV would give me a stinging pinch for that. Anyway, I have no clue when it comes to cosmetic. My dear LV would definitely be an expert when talking about cosmetics since it is a requirement for her in her dance performance field. One of the reasons I fell for her though.

LV told me that she doesn’t MAC Cosmetics and with so many types of cosmetic brand, it is up to each individual to choose what kind of brand which suits you. Personally, I have no preference in any kind of brand. I normally buy any kind of brand which suits my budget.

I’ve never heard of MAC Cosmetics before so I searched on MAC which stands for Make-up Art Cosmetics on Wikipedia. The most interesting fact I found is the brand became famous through word-of-mouth endorsements by professional makeup artists, models and celebrities.

Now that is smart leverage!
