One of the Rockin' Yogurts that can be made here by BR's Chefs!!!

Aishah Sinclair being interviewed by her own colleague about the Rockin' Yogurt ice-cream that she's about to fry on this COLD PLATE!

They have more varieties here than anywhere else...

The BR Cafe Fondue... where you dip in your ice-cream balls into Hot Chocolate Fudge!!!

The ice-cream are all frozen waiting to be dipped into this Hot Chocolate sauce!

The Affogato... this is one of my favourite things to eat here at BR Cafe.

Once the shot of Espresso has been added onto the ice-cream... this is the outcome! Mixture and blend of HOT and COLD products together...

NY Eve: Jampacked Curve

(Blog Update For 31st December 2007)

Making way for 2008 was celebrated in an extravagant way this year. The Curve had more than just a normal celebration, Laundry Bar had its own kind of party! Anyhow... was at the Curve with Hao Wei, Jon, Paul, Sean, Cindy, and met up with a few other friends such as Jonathan, Sam, Rachel, Jonathan, Stephen, Ramaesh, Mandy and many many more...

The list goes on and on... but mainly i was with Jon, Hao Wei, Paul and Sean... the past few weeks we've all been spending quite some time together as we were all quite free, went on for a shoot at KTM KL Station, Port Dickson Road Trip, Supper, Lunch and many more for the past few weeks...fuuhh!!!

When the clock striked midnight here at the Curve, there was no fireworks! And so many people left... soon!!! we were attacked by loud noises up in the open sky where fireworks can be seen here at the Curve!!! So we lost our shooting spot to shoot the fireworks, thus photos are not that pleasing! Hope you guys like the photos below and Happy New Year! :)

Mutiara Damansara packed with people here for the New Year's Eve Celebration!!!

We were at Starbucks with Sam, Jon, Jonathan and few others... Jon can create such funnyy faces anytime! Aiyoo.. this fella..

Mandy has been busy and lost touch with her for a short while but we've been in constant contact!

Here's Jon and Me... taken here right after the fireworks!!! Wahhh..we had to run here and there for the fireworks!!!

Ramaesh, know this guy from RIKL - Raleigh International Kuala Lumpur. It's been a long time since i last heard from him!!!

Ahh.. Sandra and Grace was here too!!! :) Sandra our event photographer!!!

Sam's new hair style for this year... OMG!!! This fella either lost a bet or just needed to get something new! :P

We were on a bridge in the middle of the Curve, waiting for the countdown!!! We were here with our tripods with Paul, Sean and Jon!!!

Royale Bintang Hotel organised a few parades here for the Countdown party and they were the ones who sponsored the countdown concert right outside! Thus explain this troop of local Malays dressed in some Scottish uniform... err so not original!!!

Here's Wei Hui, Long time no see... used to be my kaki Shisha :P Mwahha... there was that once la!

Stephen Lim and Myself... what you are suppose to be able to see on our mobile phone screens is the number 2008.. 2 digits on each screen! Mwahah...!!!

Sean and Paul makes SeanPaul!!! Mwahaha.. Mr Lova lova...!! BOMBASTIC!

Hao Wei and Mahzrin (Jack's Cousin) was here too!!! We all had dinner here at Winter Warmers @ the Curve.

Anyone wanna try to make such face like Jon... mwhahaha!!! go ahead!! So far he's the only one i know that can make such different faces all day long!

Some of the fireworks at the Curve welcoming us into 2008!!

This one was so BLUEEE!!!

Red and Blue makes a nice flaggy color :P

Couldn't take a pic of the best firework on this night... the flower type!!! that is...

The fireworks was delayed by a few minutes after midnight... thus many people went back home!

Imagine if the firework actually fired up and came back down to us here at Curve!!!

Welcome 2008, good bye 2007!!!

I like this bluey firework...nice nice!!!

Oh yea... last but not least... a pic of Jonathan and Rachel! Met up with Rachel in the late afternoon but never got the chance to take such pic! :) Happy New Year everyone!!!

Road Trip: Avillion Village Resort

(Road Trip to Port Dickson 30th December 2007)

It all started with the banana pie...(from McDonalds...) Hahaha... One fine sunday morning Jon, Hao Wei, Paul Levine, Jean Louis and Jean Yves and myself met up for our YEAR END road trip! The one that we've been waiting for a long time and finally had the chance to do it! We were on our way to Avillion Village Resort in Port Dickson.

We had a great time here at Avillion, VIP treatment all the way!!! - All access to the resort with special tour of the chalets and we really feel like at home! Thx to one of my friends here at Avillion who invited us to enjoy the beauty of Avillion Village Resort, Port Dickson!!!

We manage to take a whole lot of photos here at the Avillion, from their petting farm, poolside, chalets, sunsets and much more! The best thing is, we had so much fun that time passes by so fast! Yet, another memorable outing with great company!!!

One of the last few pictures that i took here at the resort! Sunset was not so great as the clouds was covering the sun!

This picture was taken a little bit earlier! Picture was edited to make it err look nicer! Blame it all on the sun :P

Silhouette of a little girl passing by the beach as the sun sets upon the resort!

Hey, what's Alvin and the Chipmunks doing here!! Mwhahha... here's a guinea pig i think! One of the many cool pets that they have here at the petting farm!

Here's Jon with a rooster on him! AHhaa... wait for the real update and you shall see some KFC actions :P

Hao Wei is quite experienced in holding little animals!

The Guinea pig didn't really like being squashed for too long! Mwhahah... RIMAS lerr!! :P

What's a trip without FOOD!!! Mwhahaha... Banana Split here is quite good!!! That's all the teaser for the Road Trip to PD! Stay tuned for more updates about PD real soon!!! Because now it's time to update y'all about Xmas Eve Dinner!!! Or more like the Countdown partayyy!!

(Let's Continue About The Recent Xmas Eve Countdown Party....)

A countdown party is never complete without company, friends, music, and drinks!!! Oh yeah... food too!! So after having dinner at Manhattan Fish Market at Centerpoint! We were at Kopi Bar at Centerpoint as well (which is situated right behind Starbucks Coffee). We were here to chill and partayyy with everyone!

The place was nice with great ambience and music! The food and drinks are quite reasonable and atmosphere was Da'BOMB!!! I don't mind celebrating here again for other types of celebrations but one thing la.. no fireworks!!!

If you were thinking that there was only youngsters here at Kopi Bar celebrating Xmas Countdown here... well you're wrong! There are senior citizens as well who would like to celebrate such with their family and friends and here we have them!

It was something different and caught all our attention as we feel that it's so lovely of them to do so... brings up more of the spirit of the Christmas Celebration and joy between one another! I believe thats' what the musician is feeling too!! As he plays the music and sing a long together with it this night!

Partyyy at the Kopi Bar!!! Centerpoint rawksss!!!

Our table was quite long and big..filled with over 12 of us! L-R: Gary, Paul, Joey, Me and Moe!!

Sean Paul and Sean's Cousin... the event looked more like a Media Conference when we all started snapping photos like mad upon the clock strike Midnight!
