Its been a while since a western movie hit the silver screen... If I am not mistaken, the last good movie in this genre is Tombstone by Kevin Costner about the legendary Wyatt Earp; officer of law and feared gunslinger... Other old time favourite includes The Magnificent Seven, Maverick and anything from Charles Bronson or Clint Eastwood... Apart from the settlement of petty issues through the end of a Point 45 Magnum or Winchester Rifle (thank god that period has passed), I am always fascinated with the simplicity of a cowboys life... Almost everything owned or consumed is worked with own sweat and effort... However that the romantic representation from Hollywood, we will never know for sure unless were in that era... The only thing that burned in my mind as result of watching lots of western is: I always imagined myself as a cowboy in a dessert, whenever I am eating baked beans with eggs and using only a fork of course but no hat :P Moving along and interested to experience more on the cowboy culture, Ive stumbled upon the Houston Rodeo & Livestock Show (a/k/a rodeoHOUSTON)... There are rodeo shows, square dancing, country music, authentic western barbeque, gun slinging and of course real cowboys... … View Post »

Yesterday, most of us experienced the massive traffic jams in Kuala Lumpur due to the recent announcement of fuel price hike... I don ' t want to elaborate on the road conditions that day nor on the fuel price... The tandoori chicken which I ate rose RM 1 from RM 5.50 to RM 6.50 and Beehun Sup remains at RM 4.50 even though ordered without egg... Example; instead of eating at the mall ' s food court after a movie and drink coffee at Starbucks, we go for a cheaper venue such as mamak, SS2 etc. But if the food court has reasonably priced food items, we usually resort to eating there... Worse case, I ' ll cook my dinner at home; it ' s fresher and more delicious even though its only baked beans and eggs... Sight* I ' d better stock up food to cook... … View Post »

Bathroom is an integral part of any home... Even though we use this facility regularly, more often we neglect its ambient and dcor... as not much you can do once the fixtures, cabinets and amenities are already in place... Apart from putting a pot of flowers, shower mats and etc;... putting in shower curtain changes significantly the way your bathroom looks as it is the biggest visible element... You can make you bathroom feel bigger, cosier, funky or just more pleasing with the eyes with a dash of colour and patterns provided by a shower curtain... Choosing the right material is also important, in my opinion;... fabric shower curtains is more hygienic and easy to clean... They are less prone for mold and mildew to flourish... At Cozy Homewares, they have a wide variety of fabric shower curtains with different materials, texture, colour and pattern to suit every taste... … View Post »

Yesterday, I went to a money changer to change my access Indonesian Rupiahs back to RM... I had a stack of Rupiah in 100,000 and 50,000 denominations, which the total amount I was very sure off... Afterwards, I ' ve check my pockets, my wallet and it is actually impossible to misplace a single sheet as I had tied it with a rubber band and kept in a separate pocket... Upon receiving the money from me, the money changer split the money according to the denomination;... putting one half on the table out of my view while immediately counting the other using an automated machine... I can ' t see if she kept one note aside as the counter was high... Just bad luck... … View Post »
