And....to top it off,
Here's a spread of information to lick upon.

We often come across familiar names like ice cream, gelato, sorbet....etc etc.
but do we really know the difference between them?


Bon Appetit!

Ice Cream: Like the name suggests, ice cream is a frozen product made from cream. Milk is often adding to the mixture as well as other flavorings and sweeteners. Did you know that up to 60% of the volume of the container is air?!? This is introduced in the whipping process and gives ice cream a light and fluffy texture. Ice creams are further divided into categories based on the amount of butterfat they contain.
• Premium ice cream has between 11% and 15% butterfat. While this ice cream is richer and denser you pay for it in the calorie count. Usually these premium ice creams come in small containers and have "gourmet" style flavorings.

• Regular ice cream is somewhat less dense and contains 10% to 11% butterfat. This type of ice cream is sold in the standard larger containers, and contains the standard flavorings. This style is perfect for milkshakes.

• Economy ice cream has exactly 10% butterfat by law. No frills here.

• Light ice cream means that there is EITHER 50% less fat OR 33% fewer calories than the regular ice cream produced by that particular company. But if you are calorie conscious look at the label. Light versions of the premium brands can have more fat and calories than the regular version of other brands.

• Reduced fat ice cream is required by law to have 25% less fat than that particular company's regular version.

Ice milk - You don't see this name too much anymore. At one time this was the low fat version of ice cream. But with advances in technology this has been replaced with reduced fat ice cream.

French style ice cream - This ice cream is made with a custard base that includes egg yolks. It is very rich and silky. Also called glace.

Gelato - This is Italian style ice cream. The big difference between gelato and American style ice cream is in the amount of air that is whipped into the product. (20% air for gelato and up to 60% air for ice cream) The result is a denser and more intensely flavored dessert.

Soft serve ice cream - This style is the same as the harder ice cream except that it is served at a higher temperature. Sometimes it is seen as tastier because it does not numb the taste buds.

Sorbet - This is a frozen dessert that is made from fruit purée and can include the flavorings of herbs and spices. It is then whipped to lighten its texture. Sorbet contains no milk.

Sherbet - Like a sorbet this is a fruit based product, but milk is added for creaminess. But by law it can contain no more than 2% butterfat.

Granita - Very similar to sorbet but granita is not whipped and ice crystals are allowed form. It has a more granular appearance, and a crunchy texture.

Y she doesn't mind losing it to a rockstar...

Cause they are simply kickass hot!

"We Will Rock You" The Musical was awesome.
Though the storyline could seem a bit confusing at the start, it ended well.
But what makes the whole musical a blast would be the songs(by the famous Classic rock band,Queen), the band (who delivered a spectacular performance and has the hottest conductor i've ever seen)and of course, the lead singer/actor who was also the second runner up for Rockstar INXS, Mig Ayesa.
He's pretty hot i tell you.
Especially when he performed the last song, Bohemian Rhapsody.
Who would have thought he was 35 years old and married with a kid.
Tho i think that he looks way better without stage make-up.
A bit too gay aye.

Check him out.












And here's more..

1. Tommy Lee



2. Jared Leto




3. Kurt Cobain



4. Josh Farro

God I sound like a boy crazy school girl.
But who cares. hehe

Mona Fandey

Was talking to Baye last night and this topic on the above mentioned came up.
It was only for awhile though cause my questions were starting to freak him out.
(Not a very good choice of topic to talk about at 1am in the morning knowing that we both go to bed alone)

hehe.

And i did what he told me to.

Here's the weblink to the story of Malaysia’s most famous murderess.

http://www.geocities.com/richard.clark32@btinternet.com/fandey.html

Apparently,(though not mentioned in the article), rumours has it that she had to be hung thrice before she actually died. And if you noticed, in all her pictures, she seemed so happy and relaxed and believe it or not, this was what she said upon hearing her sentence,"I am happy and thank you to all Malaysians." Such an unexpected reaction from a person who has just been sentenced to death huh. Maybe she felt that she was inevitable and well-guarded by evil spirits cause just a day before her execution, with her infamous grin, she said "Aku takkan mati" which means 'I will never die'.
Scary shit k.

Even after she was hanged, many stories cropped up in horror magazines saying that her body turned into a monkey and fled into the jungle. God knows how true it is though.

And six years after her execution, a film titled DUKUN which means 'witch doctor' or 'shaman' was produced based on her resurrection. Though it was pretty obvious that the movie was a story about Mona Fandey's life, producers had to deny saying that it was just something similar when Mona's family showed dissatisfaction after announcement of the film release.

I'm so gonna catch the movie k.

Other movies which were produced after other female murderess are:

1. "Method" - Belle Gunness, America's most profligate known female serial killer
2. "I want to live" - Barbara Graham, who was executed in the gas chamber
3. "Dance with a Stranger" - Ruth Ellis, the last woman to be hanged in Britain
4. "An American Crime"(also known as The Basement) - Gertrude Baniszewski, murderer of a teenage girl.


May their souls be blessed.

Blurbz!

There's so much to write about that i don't even know where to start!
I shall make a list.

hehe

1. My Mosaic was made pretty interesting,
especially by the last Heineiken Club event.
2. I so love Bella's new car. It's simply adorable!
3. Am sad that Bella's leaving soon but I'm reaaly glad that she has found a better opportunity and wish her all the best in striving to the top coz i know she can do it!
4. Had my hair dyed ash (but it turned out brown)
5. Can't wait to be the VO for Siti's Diari Hati,
(I do love most of her songs)though I'm not exactly looking forward to the queue during Autograph signing session.
6. Hunted for the perfect backpackers hostel.
7. Went pubbing with daddy(minus the alcohol, of course)
etc, etc, etc....

Suddenly got bored so shall stop my updates.
Later!

Sucky Sucky Yucky!

It's been quite some time since i experienced a sucky day.

Well, today's one.

Funny how i don't usually feel this way but when i do, it really does feel crappy.

Everything i do or say feels wrong.
Pritty pissed at myself for being so darn forgetful, as usual
I mean, what on earth is wrong with me?!
Can't be that i'm tired cause i do feel quite fresh, tho i only slept for less that 3 hours.
But my alone time at Sun Plaza Park felt good, minusing the fact that it was dangerous.
Had quite a bit on my mind so i just needed to think things through..in a different & more serene environment.slowly

This is when I miss my ol'Mummy. When she used to listen to what i felt & had to say & would give me the advice i need to make me feel better.But it doesn't mean that i have any regrets bout her current condition and that i love her less. In fact, i love her more and more everyday. Just that i miss being pampered by a mother. My mother.

I guess so many things have been happening so fast & i've been so busy catching up & trying to hard to be the perfect everything that when it gets to me, it kinda hurts.
Especially when i fail, due to the slightest mistake.

1. Kinda disappointed Daddy.
2. Pretty much ruined my reputation.
3. Feel i haven't made full use of my life

For once, i wanna allow myself to realise my sadness. Maybe all these while, whenever i do have a bad day, i tend to comfort myself to think positive and be happy, not realising that part of me is in denial. Though it's a good practice to motivate yourself. Guess sometimes, its alright to feel down. That is part of life ain't it?

It's a challenge. An obstacle i have to face.
& like what Bella says, IGNORE.
That's the best. So that it won't get to you.

Be positive & don't let something small spoil the day for yourself & those around you.

Hehe. SEE? I'm at it again, trying to think that things will be ok.
Guess i can't escape from my philosophy.

"EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING"

Oh well, the day will pass & tomorrow will be better.

A good cry will wash away the pain & things will be back to normal tomorrow.

Suddenly, i feel like I'm being too emo.

Or maybe, mensus is coming. Hehe

23rd Feb 08 - Yucky Yucky but it'll get better.

Toodlez!

Clouded certainty.

The teardrop fear i have.
The invisible blanket i require.
The different side i portray.
The meek me i avoid.
Flustered, a common response
And yet, to reveal is close to futile
A scheme that i'll tightly hold on to
Till what's attained is ample.
Ample meaning to reach ease.
Hazzy = predicted span
Logic for challenge complication
Possible.
But till ample's attained
Surrender is manana.

Living a Beautiful Disaster..

And i think I already got myself Stuck.

Living each breathe with a laid-back smile
Only time will tell.
But time's gonna run out pretty soon.
Tho not twitching about wat i foresee
When Beautiful fades,
Only God can help me

Disaster.
