Glamour-Louise Bagshawe

Yay! One down..and many more to go.

Mamarazzi finished reading this book and said it's an easy reading. Actually hor...she wanted to buy Tilly Bagshawe book punya. But don't know why blur sotong that day and she ter-grab this Louise Bagshawe book.

But as Cantonese says " Sor Yan Yau Sor Fook" (Dumb people have dumb luck). This book was rather good.

About 3 best friends. Sally the all American tycoon daughter who is a drop dead gorgeous beauty but also a kind soul. Jane, the English diplomat daughter who is nerdy. Helen a shy Jordanian girl who is newly transferred to the school. Somehow these 3 girls formed a bond of strong friendship.

Sally's money protected them bring being bullied by the so call popular girls in the school.

But one day, tragedy strike all 3 girls and they found that they lost contact with each other. Tragedy forced them had to grow up pretty fast.

Sally's family fortune suddenly disappeared and she had to claw her way back. Jane was suddenly orphaned. Lost and alone but she had the guts and brain. Helen, discovered that she had been tricked and married off to a cousin in Middle East.

Amidst all these, the three of them did pretty well. They found each other again and together they build an empire, GLAMOUR, a chain of store which is successful all over the world.

Sad to say, sharing success is harder than they thought. Feuding started. Each fought for control of the company.

Ending...hmmm...not bad la...only that the ending for Sally is rather "tapau-ed". If only the author would have elaborated more on Sally then this book would have been very good.

Small Bully at Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya

Went jalan-jalan at the new shopping mall in town. Took the chance to bully my Uncle Hock. Want Uncle to hold my hand.

I would run fast fast, jerking him along. Then I would suddenly stopped and pretend to fall down like what I did with Kaw Kaw LC last year.

Tried to bully him to buy me the cute Teddy Bears. Got scolded by Mamarazzi.

Wow...Motorbike! Papa! I want that "Torbike!".

*Evil grinz* Maybe can get Uncle to take me to Toys' R ' Us.

Got Playland downstairs. Gotta pay one.

Aiks! Giant Octopus ah...just like the Octopus on my T-Shirt. Also blue color.

Doremon..Can bring home ka?

*Drooling* I wanna overnight here la. Papa, Mamarazzi and Uncle, you all go home first la.

Restaurant Sisters Char Koay Teow Kopitiam (Updated 6/2010)

At Sisters CKT again. We ate here last February and was satisfied. Found this place thru Uncle Pete post.

Char Koay Teow. Taste as good as ever.

Curry Chee Cheong Fun. Auntie Claire sure drooling already. Mamarazzi love the taste. Wow..they even give 3 pieces of chicken. But Papa didn't like the curry taste.


Fried Rice for me. Taste good but I can't finish coz the weather was too hot. How I wish this restaurant have air-conditioning.

Hey, noticed something new. They have "Halal" certificate pasted on the wall. Saw some Muslim eating there too.

Wan Li Xiang Salted Herbal Duck, Ipoh

Haven't have time to blog about this yet. Remember Mamarazzi's post last week on how kiasu she was. After buying Aun Kheng Lim Salted Herbal Chicken, she went and bought Salted Herbal Duck from Restaurant Wan Li Xiang?

Well, we makan-ed the duck two days after coming back from Ipoh.

Quite a large duck at RM25/bird. Very strong herbal smell waffling from the Wok as Mamarazzi steam to reheat it again. Strong enough to make Vampire pening or vomit.

You might be wondering what's all these Vampire business. Mamarazzi is addicted to Darren Shan books. In the book, Vampire is not afraid of Garlic nor Crucifix.

Mamarazzi thinking is this. Vampire is Ang Moh Ghost mah. Ang Moh food taste and smell aren't as strong as Asian cooking. Give them Belacan sure they pengsan.

Chinese herbs got pretty strong smell. Betul tak? Or maybe Durian kot? Most Ang Moh beh tahan Durian. Thus new way to ward off Vampire should be using chinese herbs or durian la. Not by using Garlic nor Crucifix

Auntie Cleff, wanna write a story on this or not? Guarantee laris.


Very sorry on the hideous photo. Photography is not one of Mamarazzi's strong point. Truly this duck taste very delicious.

Auntie Claire, next time you come K.L. can buy for us ah?

GPS=Going Pusing Smallkucing

Papa have GPS.

I also have GPS .

Put on my Motorbike.

And here I go Mat Rempit-ing.

Susuk by Nizam Zakaria

Mamarazzi haven't touched a Malay Novel for donkey years already. That is until we went to BookXcess the other day.

She caught sight of this "Susuk"(Nothing to do with SUSU) and remembered that there was something on the television regarding this "Susuk". Cham liao...horror story ah?



I no eyes see. Sunday night, she read this book. Finished it in 2 hours straight. Betul betul siau

.

Story about an innocent girl, Soraya, that come to KL to engaged in a career of nursing. She was training to be a nurse and have a loving boyfriend.

She also dream of being a successful Singer one of these days . There seems to be not much hope of her achieving this dream of hers until she was befriends by a famous Singer, Rozana. Rozana told her the secret of stardom is Susuk. Susuk is something that makes a person look more beautiful. It's an ancient magic. Something like botox

This Rozana introduced Soraya to a bomoh named Effendi whom later planted Susuk on her request. Since the day the susuk was planted, Soraya's personality started to change. From an open and jovial person to a quiet person. At the peak, she even broke off with her boyfriend.

Meantime, there was a century old battle going on at the background. There was one undead Master of All Bomoh called, Dewangga. He was the man that manipulated and controlled various great leaders of the ancient Majapahit civilisation thru their wives or mistress whose susuk planted by him

This Dewangga have stored and hidden his "soul" somewhere thus nobody can kill him. And he survived this long is thru his black magic. He needed to be "latch on" to someone who will "suck" the energy from people around them.

Thirty seven years ago, Dewangga was going to perform the greatest susuk of all, Susuk Keramat on his mistress. But his adopted son, Effendi love his adopted mother very much and begged Dewangga to call the thing off coz he know the person whom Dewangga performed Susuk Keramat on will not have a good ending.

Effendi reason with Dewangga that all the planets will be in alignment again for him to perform Susuk Keramat in 37 years. Somehow, Dewangga agreed to defer but extracted a promised from Effendi. Effendi is to be his slave from then on.

Now, it's 37 years later. Dewangga seems to appear in Soraya's life. His intention does not seems to be noble. Effendi though is a good Bomoh, but his is a slave to Dewangga.

The ending...well..let just say Mamarazzi felt disappointed.


Can take off my hood liao. Not a scary story book. No ghost suddenly pop up. Nevertheless, Mamarazzi was rather happy and impressed that the standard of this novel is high. How to say ah...some how realistic without turning into a long winded sob story.
