Fake Buns?

Now I am not sure about the authenticity of this piece of news but a friend has forwarded this to me and it seems that there are even bogus buns out there!!
Scary.....
Due to certain policy issue...haha, I will not reveal the name of the country or anything or else I may be liable for defamation charges.

Anyway, suffice to say that there has been way lots of similar fake items which have been sprouting or rumoured to originate from this place.

This is the latest; in one of the recordings of this bun manufacturing factory, they were found to use waste paper and cardboard; which made up about 60 per cent of the bao and mixing it with the fatty meat to produce what they call as the "bao zi".

How did they manage to capture this?
It was actually done by the reporters of the particular broadcast corporation in line with the current scare of their continuous discoveries of bizarre and dangerous stuffs ranging from toxic toothpaste and toys painted with lead-based paints!!

This was done in their desperate efforts to cut down cost; and the owners didn't think the consumers could tell a difference:o
They used caustic soda; a toxic solvent used in the industry to soak the cardboard to produce that consistency taste and then mixed it with 40% of fatty meat and monosodium glutamate (MSG/flavour enhancer) before putting it on market shelves.

The owners do not consume their own baos!!
Woww....these crazy and inconsiderate folks!!
UGHSSS!!!

Don't they give you a new perspective of eating baos?

Morning Misters!

This morning I drove out of my condo heading to work and I was in line behind these 2 cars; a Getz and a Wira which was scanning their security access card.
(My condo provides us with a card...something like a Touch&Go type that you flash at the point and the bar will lift to allow your entry and exit from the premises).
Okay, so the first car, the Wira was so slow and he turned left.
Then the 2nd car, the Getz flashed his car and after his bar lifted, he drove out...and then it was my turn and when the bar lifted; I wanted to move out, but that Getz was just right there; undecided which direction he wanted to go; right or left (by right, it should be left since the right turn was against the traffic flow).
I had to flash the lights at him or else risk the barrier crashing on my car!!!

Oh bother!!!
Anyway, I proceeded with my left turn and drove until I caught up behind another car which was crawling; and I really mean crawling!!!
It was that first Wira.....
Oh my.....
I overtook him and drove on my way....

On the road to my company as well, I bumped into another car which was crawling and another bus which made the right signal and turn left....

Awwww....great start to a day....:(
Are they all awake??!!!
Hey...Good Morning Misters!! Please wake up when you are on the road!!!

Dusty Office...

Here I was talking about the haze in my previous post and stepping into the fully air-conditioned office area oughta provide some relief to the polluted and choking environment out there which is causing me breathing difficulty when I had to practically smother myself with a cloth hanky.
No no no....the office area where most of the cubicles are located has this hint of dust in the air....
Dusty and musty.....
I guess this carpet endowed area must not be vacuumed very often.....
Ugggghhhhhhhh........where can I get some fresh air....
Suddenly the fresh Swiss or Welsh mountain air sounds appealing.....

Knock knock*
Back to reality.....1,2,3.....back to hanky buddy...
Breathe....

Back to KL....

News...one of my friends here in Penang; or rather, my ex-housemate from uni who was also here working for about a year will be moving back to the city soon.
Yeah...am happy for her....we had a great talk yesterday and I was glad that we still had this bond and trust with each other...
Thanks gal, for asking me....I appreciate that you still trust me to share your doubts and stuffs with me:)

I guess she did manage to come up with a decision and it was to go for it, proud of you gal!;)
How did I find out?
I received a message from good ol' friend from KL...
Hey, your good friend is also packing her bags to come back down south dy...when's your turn?
Haha....
I will, as soon as I get a BIG FAT offer as well....:D
Great....and we Kepong-ites will always welcome you back:)

Hehe...thanks...and I won't quote your name...otherwise, you will say I am like a paparazzi again:p

But 2 good things in a day....all courtesy of my good ol' pals in KL....which made me felt really cared and remembered all the time...
Despite the frustration yesterday at work, etc.....I must really say that you guys have made my day...

Thanks for making me feel cherished and remembered when I was feeling slightly blue....
And reminding me that I am still loved and on your minds....
THANK YOU...and I love this word, Kepong-ites...haha:D

Maybe it's time I should head back to my KL life...hehe...back to Civilization....
ERMmmm.....I meant, back to City Life...hehe:D

Haze is back...

It's there...I know it, it's just there....nobody wanted to believe me...
I can smell it; it's evil.....and that explains why I have been so restless these days....
Furthermore, my skin and nose are so sensitive that I can just sense and smell it....and it's really affecting me...it's so hard to breathe and my health's not really great either....skin allergies and nose allergies.....
I think I am not in my best looks; more like crappy looks these days....

Go AWAY.....you're no good....
Nobody's believing me...
They think I am out of my mind...
And then, yesterday the radio announced the API reading again....
See...I told you...it's definitely back and I HOPE, not for good!!
Everyone out there...take care...and believe me, there's haze out there

Barbie's Dance

Another movie review?
Haha...yaya...Angelstar just happen to be in the mood for movies these days instead of series:p
And this is another animation I watched:D

I have always loved Barbie...which girl doesn't anyway? It's always a beautiful dream and the sweetie and girly pastel pink colours are just enough to make you go ga ga when you were a little girl in ponies and pigtails.
It's inexplicable; just the way guys go wawa over Transformers:)

I always have been fond of Barbie animations (by Mattel) since it was shown on TV3; our local TV channel. I think I have watched more than a couple of them; from Swan Lake to Rapunzel,Nutcracker, Magic of Pegasus,Fairytopia,Princess and the Pauper and to add to my list is the recent 12 Dancing Princesses.
Actually not so recent anymore; it was last year's release

So sweet and I was enchanted once again by the magical world and also reminded of my love for fantasy and fairytales with all the promises of an always happy ending:)

Not too long and a simple adaptation of an old story; the 12 Dancing Princesses.
This animation was just so pinky and sweet; as in all Mattel's animations.
I just loved it; not much review about the movie before I bore everyone out of their wits:p
*dreams of fairylands*
