Another New Toy!!
Hi again!
The other day, I bought an ipod classic and i love it to loads. It saves me from boredom during my journey to K.K last week. I had a blast from the trip and had a wonderful food cravings fulfilled!.But that's gonna be another story for my next post...if im free of course.
As for today, I'm delighted to show off another new toy of mine which I bought in Brunei, mind you, it's not from KK. hehehe..... I had been thinking to get a digital camera for the past 2 months but didn't quite made up my mind to buy which one. I don't want to buy a DSLR as its too bulky for me to bring anywhere. And I am no professional in this area either so an amateur camera would be fine. I do want to have a little of the SLR characteristics of a camera though, in case i got time to learn something about it. So after a long search, and a very last minute research on the internet...i finally fall in love with two cameras.
The first was the Canon Powershot G10 for it's quality and high pixels and the sort of slr style of a camera.
The second was the Panasonic Lumix DMC LX3. Am so loving with the style and its small slim size.
After much consideration, well actually, having without choice, i tend to buy this few days back.

I fell for it instantly. It was so hard to find here, I 've been hunting from one shop to another for this model and finally found it in Hua Ho Yayasan. The Panasonic Lumix LX3 however was no where to be found as it was out of stock. the only model i could find was its earlier sister, The Panasonic Lumix DMC LX2. I figured a G10 would be a far better choice than that.
Alas, my bonus were not vain at all ;p

Fish Spa
Hi peeps,
I have been nagging my friends to try the Fish Spa for the past two weeks and finally had the chance to go there yesterday. My first impression was, "Wow! I thought the fish were supposed to be smaller!" hehe...they were cute though but i wasn't really expecting them to be any bigger than 'TINY'.
So, if anyone interested to try these, it is located in Gadong, the same buliding of Micronet computer school just right next to TK restaurant, 1st floor. Just look for Skin Renew and you'll find your way. it's very easy.
*edited* as promised here's the address peeps :

These were the "suppose-to-be-TINY-fishes" that feasted on my feet for lunch. Once you've put your feet into the pool, lots of these fishes swarm to your feet and you'll get a very ticklish feeling ever. We actually laughed for the whole 5 to 10 mins trying to get grip from all the tickles the fishes gave...After that, you'd started to relax and it felt just like having a vibrator on your feet..hehehe.. a wonderful feeling where you tend to doze off to sleep when you get to state of a relaxing mode.
Somehow, those fish were absolutely eager to have feets around. They were biting my feet non stop.
That's me and my friend's feet. As you can see mine seemed to be a favourite for these fishes..hehehe ...too many dead cells for them to eat, i guess hehehe...The effect after the fish spa is that, we can feel our feet, so fresh, a bit smoother than before and you'll feel really great about it. I 'd really love to come again despite the scary ticklish moments I get.
That's what they say on what you get from this Fish Spa.

Condolences...
Hi peeps,
Having back from a very short holiday, I've been getting two shocking news within just 3 days.
The first one, was a lost of an old friend whom I've barely kept in touch in the past f
ew years but we had managed to say hi once in a while on the net. It was indeed, a news that took me quite a while to believe that he actually left the world. He used to be a "Penpal" of mine {a term that is hardly used nowadays since the internet and mobile text-ing has been very much of used these days} and he was one of my closest penpals, a friend who was very talented in writing, the one who would always sent me his creative DIY cards every birthdays in those teenage years. Once in awhile, we called each other to say hi, but most often, wrote long letters of our never ending stories. He was funny, friendly, and kind hearted and his letters were one of those awaiting moments I needed in those days. After high school was over, We wrote less and lesser after time went by, as we both had started fulfilling with our own life's busyness. He became one of those successful person who persue his dreams at a young age and I was happy for him. Unfortunately, I never did know that he had a health problem. How long has it been, how much he suffered, I never knew. It was devastating. I only knew after I heard the news and it was too late!! It was a big loss and I regretted for being apart on the latter years for not being with him as we used to. I hope he would rest in peace and his soul be blessed by the Almighty Amin!
The second news, was the loss of a dear friend's first baby whom was exactly two months old today. She passed away last night and was safely buried this morning. I am very much sorry to my dearest friend for her loss and I do hope she would be strong with all this that had happened. Keep your faith my friend and there's always a heal behind every sorrows.
Life is too short to be taken advantage of. Dealing with such loss was never easy and its best to make the greatest out of them when they are still around. Somehow it's not too late to forgive and forget to the people around, who knows our time may come...who knows...
Till then, Have a great night everyone!
Au Revoir peeps!

Penyet for new love?
Doesn't that makes you feel hungry?
Few weeks back, I drop by to someone's blog, in which i don't exactly remember who's blog that is, and read a review on this Nasi Ayam Penyet. It's located in Jerudong and as I am a regular at this area, I have always passed by this place but had never got the guts to drop by to try it.
Fortunately, I have friends whom, as I am, are food adventorous and they actually had gone there and told me the same review as of the blog that I've read on earlier. So without wasting time, I persuaded them to have lunch there a few days ago and i'm glad i did. It was superlicious despite of the long awaited service that they haven't managed to cope up with. The place isn't any posh restaurant but a small "warung" that looks isolated and unpopular due to the old burnt Thai workshop just right next door. In fact, it was in the same building, half ruined , while the other half used by this restaurant. I don't even remember seeing any labels of the restaurant's name but if you want to look for it, it's just right opposite of KTM Restaurant in Jerudong and you can see their green banner saying"Nasi Ayam Penyet & Nasi Pece Lele"..something like that..hehehe.
Go on try it, I'm sure you'll love it. Warning though, service is bad...it took so much time for the food to arrive, even when we had called in 2 hrs earlier to ask them to prepare it for us for lunch time. So many came for tapau, the one reason they could not prepare on time for us. Well, it's worth only $2.00 compared to other places, that is cheap. But then, for the reason of a smaller portion of chicken. The best part of it is, the "sambal", which was made like the traditional indonesian style- "grinded manually" therefore , that's probably the case of the bad service ;p.

The Diary C'est La Vie - Broken Strings
Dear Diary,
Something had bothered me and it was not the first time I came across with such word of mouth. My instinct told me the same and that was not the first time either. What should I do? It happened again. Is it true all this time? Or had I become in vain??
I’ve made my decisions. I tend not to turn.
Thank you for all those moments,
thank you for the all the love
and thank you for the care.
We may once vowed for what may be impossible…
it all ends today,
the journey of our dreams.
“Truth hurts but lies are worse!”
~Broken Strings~ James Morrison feat Nelly Furtado
Let me hold you
For the last time
It's the last chance to feel again
But you broke me
Now I can't feel anything
When I love you,
It's so untrue
I can't even convince myself
When I'm speaking,
It's the voice of someone else
Oh it tears me up
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay
You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell you something that ain't real
Oh the truth hurts
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before
Oh what are we doing
We are turning into dust
Playing house in the ruins of us
Running back through the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very last train when it's too late
Oh it tears me up
I try to hold on, but it hurts too much
I try to forgive, but it's not enough to make it all okay
You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I can't tell something that ain't real
Well the truth hurts,
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before
But we're running through the fire
When there's nothing left to save
It's like chasing the very last train
When we both know it's too late (too late)
You can't play on broken strings
You can't feel anything that your heart don't want to feel
I cant tell you something that ain't real
Well truth hurts,
And lies worse
How can I give anymore
When I love you a little less than before
Let me hold you for the last time
It's the last chance to feel again

Revamp of the blog!
Hi peeps!
Finally, I've managed to revamp my blog, Yey! Not much of a difference (i guess) but it's definitely refreshing...for me dat is. Eventually, I lurve the "chic - on - the - couch" pic so much dat i just had to make some modification rather than to replace the whole look. So sayang meh! It took me a while to adjust everything as I am a total amatuer on this web design thingy but So far so good and i just need to add more widgets that i've removed :p A lot of energy wasted but hey i'm learning..hehehe....
Anyway, lots of happenings going on with my life these past few days. Happy ones, unpredictable ones, sad ones, tiring ones etc..etc.... but i managed to get on without ruining anything. Not gonna say much about it tonight ....maybe next time then.
So as for now, I need a rest. Looking forward to have another spare time to blog something here.. hopefully tomorrow? Will see... so in the meantime, good nite peeps...and Sweet dreams :)

Hellew folks!
It's a Sunday, a day after the big day of mine. Yups, Moi birthday in which Madamoiselle enters to another stage of life..with a big "THREE" written all over Moi face...hahaha. Rather than being depressed or un-psyched about the ageing issue, I was actually thrilled and excited about it. I know.....most ladies out there would not agree with my outcome reactions. Believe me, I was actually overwhelmed with the new erra of my life. It felt like I'm opening another new chapter, new energy, new visions of the new me!
WOW! How could I be so optimistic about this. I am indeed surprised with what I've been thru during my first day of "30". Unbelievably, I'm so full of Smiles!! You may think that I am exaggerating here...but honestly, Why would I be?. :)
Despite of having a status of being 'Single' at this age, I did not find it so worrying as it was when I turned 28 and had not gotten married with whom i thought i would finally settled down with. Maybe, my focus has now shifted and I intend to enjoy myself as much as as I should and stop worrying about things that I could not control with my own two hands. As they say, "AGE IS JUST A NUMBER" and I'm practically thinking that way now. Probably, my worries will start at 40, but for as this moment in time, 30 is somehow, like the new 40. I mean, hey! Men often says that their lives starts at 40. So I guess then, Women should be having a life starting at the age of 30..right ladies? Since Women naturally are matured earlier than men, so eventually our lives could head on for an earlier start than men. Agree?? haha.....
Anyway, I've been thinking of changing my blog to its new look. Something 30-ish but still sleek , chic and elegant..hmmm..haven't found any gud thing yet but it'll takes time. Sheesh! Wish I am so gud with this web designing thingy so that I can make my own website with my own creations. ~dududuuduuduuuu~~ So Vain!
Okay, enuff babblings for today. Be back again..in a few days..or probably weeks..hahha but in the meantime, take care peeps :)

The Escape.
Hellew peeps,
I've been neglecting my blog for quite awhile and I could not help but envy other bloggers who seemed to be constantly updating their blogs with full loyalty..hahaha...Honestly, I've been quite hooked with "face-booking" ...and the other things that needed to be done and so the lack of concentrating to this beloved blog of mine. So today, I spared my time to write something and somehow had no other ideas of what to say except to tell you guys the food galores that i've been having a lot lately...thus the gain of weight of a madamoiselle *erk* :p
Just last nite, my sister Oleev and I had a shopping to do and came across "Escapade". Sis Oleev was not a sushi lover but she does love the other japs food and so she could not help but crave for another Japanese dinner. Without wasting time, we head for "Escapade" in Kiulap. This is what we had for dinner:
Squid something..i forgot the dishes names heheh.
really! I only ate and dun even remember the dishes names :)
this i know..Chicken Ramen
Chicken Curry Udon
Matcha Ice Cream
After dinner, got back home and slept like a beauty *uhuk* for having such a scrumptious fullfilling dinner..hahahaa
That's all for today folks. See! I really haven't warmed up yet with my blogging and i couldnt come up with anything interesting yet. Till then, I'll be writing back in a few day time, hoping i could come up with something better than i have today heheheh :p
Gud nite peeps and take care!

What's for Raya??
Hellew peeps!
Three more days to our big festive season...and that's Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Hoorey! I just came back from the Mall Gadong and ho boy!! Ain't there lots of people flocking around with last minute shopping. Everyone has a big smile on their faces, knowing that it's time to have new things and there's something to celebrate soon. Somehow it felt nice to see so many happy people and have to meet some familiar faces too.
Anyway, It's almost midnight now but I just could not sleep.These few days had been so chaotic for me. As the festive season is too near, there's just so much to do, but so little time. Tomorrow I'd be having another "Batik cake" session, the last batch I'll be making for this fasting month. Just the other day, I've already made about 48 pieces of the cake and it has been so exhausting , yet very satisfying. I love the finish product and the few comments that i had from my friends. Some had already gobbled up their cakes and did not preserve it for Hari Raya, in which the initial plan of the purchase was for the 'Day'. *wink*
The 'Batik Cake' is one of the essential cake that most people serve for Hari Raya. I had always loved this cake and it would have felt something missing if this cake was not served. It always reminded me of my childhood days when not so much fancy cakes were served compared to this modern times and back then, the Batik Cake has been always there on the menu. Nowadays, there's just so many versions of 'Batik cake' that the originality of it has somewhat faded. Some people had added horlicks, vico and even cream cheese for the newer versions of the Batik cake. Mine would be the middle ingredient and had a very chocolaty taste wise , good for chocolate lovers.
Actually, I never intended to have sales for this Raya, but upon huge requests from close friends, I just gave it a try. And my sales are at the moment, only around my closest circle of friends and not many people knew that I'm selling them, till the last minute ..hehehe sorry peeps, I could not expose the sales, as I, myself could not see myself in making more than 50 pieces, with all the other work burdens I'm having.Maybe next year then.
I haven't got a picture of the cake as you can see it's all wrapped up in a plastic so that it'll stays good till the festive season and can be kept into the fridge without getting any moist seeping into it.
By the way, I purchased some delightful biscuits for Hari Raya from a very talented 'Baker' and I just love her creations. Let the picture speaks :)
Nyummm... nyummm... I just love the sight of it. Okay peeps.. It's been a late night. My bed's calling me. Till then, Take care and nighty night ;p

Three more days to our big festive season...and that's Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Hoorey! I just came back from the Mall Gadong and ho boy!! Ain't there lots of people flocking around with last minute shopping. Everyone has a big smile on their faces, knowing that it's time to have new things and there's something to celebrate soon. Somehow it felt nice to see so many happy people and have to meet some familiar faces too.
Anyway, It's almost midnight now but I just could not sleep.These few days had been so chaotic for me. As the festive season is too near, there's just so much to do, but so little time. Tomorrow I'd be having another "Batik cake" session, the last batch I'll be making for this fasting month. Just the other day, I've already made about 48 pieces of the cake and it has been so exhausting , yet very satisfying. I love the finish product and the few comments that i had from my friends. Some had already gobbled up their cakes and did not preserve it for Hari Raya, in which the initial plan of the purchase was for the 'Day'. *wink*
The 'Batik Cake' is one of the essential cake that most people serve for Hari Raya. I had always loved this cake and it would have felt something missing if this cake was not served. It always reminded me of my childhood days when not so much fancy cakes were served compared to this modern times and back then, the Batik Cake has been always there on the menu. Nowadays, there's just so many versions of 'Batik cake' that the originality of it has somewhat faded. Some people had added horlicks, vico and even cream cheese for the newer versions of the Batik cake. Mine would be the middle ingredient and had a very chocolaty taste wise , good for chocolate lovers.
Actually, I never intended to have sales for this Raya, but upon huge requests from close friends, I just gave it a try. And my sales are at the moment, only around my closest circle of friends and not many people knew that I'm selling them, till the last minute ..hehehe sorry peeps, I could not expose the sales, as I, myself could not see myself in making more than 50 pieces, with all the other work burdens I'm having.Maybe next year then.
So the final product of my sales is what you can see here.
I haven't got a picture of the cake as you can see it's all wrapped up in a plastic so that it'll stays good till the festive season and can be kept into the fridge without getting any moist seeping into it.

*TIred*
*Yawn*
I'm totally trying to keep my eyes open for work today. Despite of being so sleepy, i managed to get off to work for almost 30 mins later than usual.
Hi peeps!
I've been missing again these few weeks and it's almost to the end of 'Ramadhan'. A lot of things happened but i lack the time to blog due to..again, lack of time [obviously] and lack of internet connection. I've been planning to get one soon.. hopefully by next month so till then.... just wait and see lah..heheehe.
Anyways, I slept for 3 hours last nite. Hari Raya is next week and I had finally finished packing cake orders from close friends. Didn't plan to make any sales actually but upon huge request, I did it anyway. Just one cake, a very cravingly chocolaty Batik Cake,in which, me and my friends had been drooling over lately. It's a bit different than the usual 'Batik Cake', more chocolate taste and easier to manage. I'll post the picture next time :)
Oh time is ticking, I got to go... sorry for this short post. I'll be back... hopefully :p
Take care and It's not too late to say "Happy Fasting".

El - Owe - You - Vee
Helleeww…. I think I’m in love.
LOVE…
Complicating yet Irresistable.
I had once loved a man and I thought there would be a happy ending. Unfortunately, He wasn’t mine. I knew it won’t last long to realize that it took a lot more than courage….
and time…….. and patience…..to stay in a relationship like this so I tried to moved on.
Searching for a new love isn’t an easy task. Having met a few others, none was a better person than the previous one. Well, to be honest, I like older men, not too old but mature. The one who could think maturely, who could lead me to a better life, the one who is settled…and I don’t mean in terms of financially {hmm..maybe a lil’ bit on that}, but more to what he thinks of life is.
Ironically, my environment is forcing me to change my perspective in men. I have to face reality. More young men came vibrantly around my life and it’s like feasting on new meat for dinner. Okay, I’m a tad exaggerating with that. Well, my point is, I had no choice. It’s like what they said…”the good husband type of guys were taken, the single available ones are either young, immature or worst, the ones you thought could be perfect…… are fags.” {okay, I added up a bit with that quote but then, you know what I mean, right?}
Anyway, experimenting my feelings toward the younger ones, I could only let myself liking them. Some things are just not there. I mean, hey! some of them are cute, and I even almost thought that I really liked this one guy, whom, almost looked like the person I had emotionally-confusing-unsettling “friendship” that I had involved a long time ago. Getting to know this guy, was somehow a thrill at first but melts away as time goes by. I could not react comfortably around him and the hardest thing is… he is young. Not only young in the sense of his features but the way he thinks, he talks and the way he is around me.. He is YOUNG in everything!!! In fact, it makes me feel older than I am supposed to be. Going 30 doesn’t mean you’re already 30 right? *wink*
Anyhow, back to what I had said in the first line…..I am in love. Yes.. falling in love again… with the same person that I shouldn’t have been with before… I’m still in love with him. And before, anyone says anything, Nope.. not in the sense that I’m back to the relationship { hopefully not!!} but for the time being, it’s more to the fact that.. .. my feelings for him had never faded and I am still in love with him. Not a single person has ever compared and it’s very hard to find a new love just like we had.
As they all said, “Love is blind” so I guess you only need sticks to get you around… so probably I need to search my stick then. :p.
The End.:p

Homecoming Speech.
Hi peeps…
Silly madamoiselle can’t make up her mind and for five months she thought blogging is no more in her way but now intends to get her hands back to the keyboard and bore the wits out of her readers through this personal blog of hers.. I know it sounds so indecisive for me but you’ll understand…Nahhhh!!
Well, let me explain, in simple form:
Bee) HECTIC
See) INVASION OF THE MIND
Eew) CONTEMPLATING
Evf) SELF INDULGENCE
Gee) and many more that you don’t want to know.
Life isn’t as hectic as it used to be now. So apparently, the extended unfulfilled times was rather filled with things that has to do with BED and the large TV screen that I’ve been hooked up so much lately.
Other than that, I’ve been trying to renovate myself slowly as the final years of the twenties is approaching to its end and had awoken me up to do something about myself. I know mademoiselle is such a lazy tart and hadn’t been bothered enough to polish up in since eight years ago with the beliefs of ‘Au-Natural’ will not wither its youth. DUH!!
So this has been quite a change…… a slow one that is.
Honestly, I am not promising for a constant updating of my blog here despite of the extra hours I may have, but who knows, right? It’s so hard to stop once you’re already into it. Now that I’ve finally settled a bit, and the fasting month is ahead by a few days, I hope everything would be going in just fine for me and for everyone else. I am very much looking forward for ‘Ramadan’, the fasting month for the Muslims Another reason to toning down the weight.. or probably the other way round..*erks!* hehehhe… just kidding. It’s just another reason for me to have shorter hours of work and early times to be back home…*Ooops*… Again, just kidding…
Okay people I gotta go. Signing off with loads of love. Have a Great Day!!

Madamoiselle: Au Revoir??
Dear Friends, Bloggers, Readers and All,
I've started entering this wonderful world of blogging since March 2007 last year and since then had started to fall in love with it. Though my first intentions to blog was for me to remember the things I've done in the future, How many foods I've eaten, how addicted I was to the movies,how deep my love life expressions could be, and how silly sometimes I tend to be and of course, how bad I was with my "grammars" and "Vocabs", but in the end, what I had gained most was how many new friends I've found and share with within this blog and others, without knowing them in person, without realizing the distance barrier we all had, without putting our race, religion or colour from preventing us to be in a loving and caring community. See how blogging gives a lot of effects inside each of us!!
As much as blogging has been part of my life, Sadly, I have to decline myself from "Madamoiselle ver2".... for I have another part of my life to be fulfilled. It's been a great pleasure to meet you all, my new founded friends. I would like to apologise to everyone for the "silence" in my blogs for the past two weeks and for not answering the questions of my absence in my blog. I am very much in a good health and my decision to end this blog now, was for my own personal reasons. Sorry for my sudden inevitable reason that i could not explain... And nope, I'm not getting married. hehehe...
Anyway, I would like to give my sincere apologise to everyone, to those who knows me and to those who don't, if any of my blog, my words, my comments, or anything that I do might upset you directly or unintentionally, please do forgive me. I hope everyone will have a wonderful time, in good health and best wishes. I might not blog here anymore but I'd probably drop in once in a while and visit you guys from your blogs.
Au Revoir.. It's been a pleasure!
Yours Truly,
xoxo Madamoiselle xoxo
