Yes, it's me again...Shazzie Wuzzie your *funky* media strategist!!!

Well, what can i say...about "the Curve". It's a new shopping mall, Malaysia's first open air concept shopping mall!!!



The place where you will be able to experience a whole new world of shopping. Although the shops there at the Curve are not as high class as KLCC, its made affordable for all.



Other than that, they really have some really cool restaurants!!!

*Kopitiam - For those old fashioned tea & bread lovers ala "Penang Style". Well that's what i think la...

*Viva - Serving american pizza, panini and spaghetti.

*Starbucks (If you don't know what this is...you must be blind)

*Coffee Bean (Same goes here)

*Marche - ahh...here's a brand new concept restaurant. Its like a supermarket, where you shop for what you want to eat and they will cook for you on the spot. Hence the word "Marche" which is a french word for "Market" - "Pasar".



Anyways, I was there on one of the first few days that it was opened. To be exact, was there last saturday afternoon with a friend.

Won a buy one free one voucher from Starbucks Coffee by participating to one of their Q&A's session at the centercourt.

Look at the pics for yourself, for sure you will want to drop by at the Curve like me!!!

PS: Just for the record, i was at the Curve on Saturday, then came back again on Sunday.

Location: The Curve @ Kota Damansar (Opposite Ikano) - Free Parking at the moment.


This is Viva, the american concept restaurant.


Here's the interior of the restaurant, its in the open air part of the mall.


Here's Rock Corner, a music store which i feel is much better than Tower Records coz they have stuffs which are RARE!!!


Some store selling stuffs...


Store selling clothes...


Im so blushing rite now... :P

I somehow hate this system...something's wrong with it. This is the second time im writing this entry.

---------------------------------------

Anyways, last last monday Nadiah (Team Leader in Marketing & Promotions) and I were invited to a media appreciation day @ Petrosains KLCC.

It was also in conjunction with their newest attraction which is "Funzone".

So yea, for us it was free so...what the hell...we'r freeloaders after all :P

Mwhahaha...anyways, here's a pic of my head taken away from my body and put on a fruit platter.



We were served with light refreshments from Cafe 1920. They served us chicken nuggets, Spaghetti Bolognaise, Chicken, and really cool Black Forest Tiramisu or something chocolate cake with a really nice chocolate topping.



Cafe 1920 can be found at KLCC, 1 Utama and a few other places. Im not sure where.

This is a state of NATIONAL DISASTER!!!
Wheregot... :P

Anyways, here's a session of


DID YOU KNOW...


Well, was just talking to Paul Levine (paullavignesk8er), and was planning stuffs to go out tonight with a few other Xfresh CREWs...and guess what he asked me!!!

Look it up for yourself...



Can't read what's written in the MSN Messenger box...

Well, read the one below...(enhanced version)



Yes, indeed...our "Paul Levine" is indeed a "good" boy! You sure?
AHahah...im going for dinner now...

Paul Wrote: What time are you coming, coz i need to put on make up first ahahhahah

Albert Ng...(albnok / glaring notebook) has finally turned 21 years old last sunday!!!



Does he look anywhere near 21? Well,...let's just forget that part.

Tried to ask Albert if he wanted to go out on sunday...but he was preoccupied with other family related stuffs. So yea, gave him his B'day present on Saturday (during the Bloggers Gathering).



So yea, got him a Sony Walkman with MEGA BASS!! :P But i bet he loves his Sony earphones that he got from KLCC better than those that came with the Walkman.



Anyways, last friday...the Content Development Team (CDT) of Xfresh had a farewell dinner for its team at McDonalds's MidValley Megamall.

Bobby and I were LATE there, in a sense that we were actually "DITCHED" at the office. Not knowing that others had left the office for MV. Well, we had to stay a lil' bit longer as one of our clients were there to do a recording.



Anyways, Bobby and I bought this Vanilla Coke from McD's Technology Park Malaysia (Bukit Jalil). So we still had the cup when when we arrived at MV. So we used the same cup to refill drinks at MV, so basically i just ordered one double cheeseburger (burger only) and Bobby got himself a Big Mac.

Safe money la like that...soft drinks are really bad for YOU!!!

Before i write more about what we (XF|Crews) did last weekend till today...i shall let you know how and what i feel about this year's Xmas!!!

I believe that words can create a better impression...give you a greater view of what i really mean and what i really feel about Xmas this year.

[I'm going to type non stop, just tell you everything about it from the top of my head... telling you what i feel about Xmas for 2004]

Anyways...

The first day of december, i sat outside of my house at night, looked at the sky and wished upon the stars...[of course, i cant e-mail santa for what i want right...although his e-mail is santaclaus@northpole.com]

Well, you see... i guess that santa is busy, coz he's never come around [even when i was in europe... and the US]. I think of him when Xmas comes to town.

The best time of the year, is when everyone comes home!!! [Well not this year, coz my favourite cousin isn't coming back to KL]. With all these Xmas tears!!! It's hard to be alone...[but believe it or not, i am feeling lonely now coz its' been a tradition that every xmas from 2000 we celebr8 it together have dinner @ Xmas Eve - Chili's / California Pizza Kitchen (KLCC)].

Putting up the Xmas tree with friends who comes around [well this was back when i was in france, was so cool]. It's so much fun when Xmas comes to town!!!

Would you be sleeping on the night of Xmas eve? I wont...i think i'll probably be online be waiting for Santa to come down and deliver me my Nikon Digital SLR Model D70.

When Santa's sleigh bell ring, i'll listen all around...the herald angel sings!!!...
---------------------------------------


You see, there's some other things that i want to do...other than receiving presents and stuffs!!!

We all should actually do something good...not just for Xmas, but throughout the year.

Think about it...

*Why do something good once a year when you can do it all year round.

*Someone's going to be a superstar, why not you?

*Someone's going to be the next president, why not you?


Well, what i'm trying to say here is that...these days, less and less people are helping the less fortunate. Just think about it for a moment, what if YOU are one of those who are less fortunate, living in an orphanage, living in a coutnry where there's war and terror...


Well, all of these happen because the world is waiting for one child...that's ME!!!

Black, white, yellow...no one knows the color of the child. But that child (me)...I would really like to grow up!!! one day...where i can turn tears to laughter...hate to love...war to peace...and everyone to everyone's neighbour...and misery and sufferings are words to be forgotten forever.!!!

But you know what, its all a dream and illusions now!!! But this must come true sometimes soon for now...


Anyways, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

YEs...what kind of hari is this?

Pardon my manglish!...Anyways - i'm starting to believe that there's a sign on my forehead which says "DITCH ME" and at the back of my body ... "DITCH ME NOW"...

Well, there was a press screening at IMAX 3D Theaters (Times Square) this morning, and William was suppose to go there with me...

But no.... i was there and he wasnt!!! *sigh*...Guess where he was?
.
.
.
sleeping at home

Anyways - was suppose to go to futsal tonight, but at the same time suppose to have dinner with my x-college mate. But he didnt confirm the supper. So now, Will, Bobby and I are going to Subang to frag some BOTS!

By the way, my good friend, best friend back in primary school from Australia is in KL!!! going to go out with him for lunch or something tomorrow or the day after for dinner!!! What do you guys reckon i should go to...?

3. Sourgirl88
4. phenomenal_strike
5. ashruffzz

5. Ed,
6. Jennifer,


Spectators were:

1. Frusciante (not sure if u have a blog or not).

2. Sourgirl's friend.

---------------------------------------

Anyways, cut to the chase (since those who did not attend will be reading other peeps' blog instead of mine!!! I really am not gonna bother writing bout the gathering, cause:

1. Dead tired
2. had only 5 hrs of sleep last nite (had a late night, slept at 4.30am woke up at 7.45, then sleep back again till 9...woke up coz ed called me..then sleep again till 10).

3. Why write bout the gath when u can just read it from other people's blog.

---------------------------------------

Anyways, right after the gath, we proceeded to RTW V @ Stadium Merdeka.
Albert, Frus, and Jamie took the public transport there...

Wherelse I drove bobby, jennifer and ed to Stadium merdeka. Once we got to stadium merdeka...Ed vanishes out of nowhere...we saw him walking towards the exit of the car park...he didnt even say anything.

Anyways, RTW V, im not gonna write bout this either...since you guys can read about it from Albert's and Bobby's blog. One thing i can tell you is that, having a media pass roxXX!! but, not having ear plugs is a disaster!! coz we were just right in front of the speakers.

Im actually having a headache now, still cant recover from all the doom doom dang dang from the gig.

Anyways, Bobby and I left the gig at about 9pm, headed for UOB Bank for me to withdraw some cash!!! So then we went to this restaurant @ Ampang Point - "Rasyid". Had dinner there, and soon after dinner, i sent Bobby back home.

And yes, im at home now...

*sigh*

Im doing this because, i seem to get lower hits now since i put up the contest on da blog.

So i actually have to write something to get people to visit da blog.

Anyways, photos !! that's what is missing from this entry. Will add them tomrorow...too tired.
