Oh cool, I just received a letter from NESTLE PRODUCTS Sdn. Bhd. to notify me that I won an exclusive Malaysia National Day iTalk card - with RM52 credit.

It's from a contest called "PERADUAN MAGGI MENYAMBUT KEMERIAHAN MERDEKA". I totally forgot that I participated in this contest.. Random and yay!

BRITNEY: for the record. x7 (+1) 10:20 PM

Went to three shopping malls just now (KK Plaza, Centre Point, Wawasan Plaza) just to help an international collectors to buy Malaysia Edition of BRITNEY: for the record. DVDs.

Well I also think that Malaysia Edition is a nice collection item as it comes with an exclusive nice silver slipcase, especially the cool 'mirror' effect on the cover, which made it unique~

+extremely rare item in the photo!
"...baby one more time" (Malaysia Edition CD Single, with exclusive postcard)

Online autograph from Selena Gomez 8:10 PM

 I received a notification from facebook at my gmail this morning, 'Selena Gomez' tagged me in one of her photo. Well I expected it'll be her autograph as I requested one on her facebook account, but never expected to see her tag today.

What a lovely message!
She posted her 'online autograph' to all her fans who requested for it. After I thanked her, I did another special request and asked her whether there's any chance to get an individual autograph just for me. After few minutes later...

tadah! :D

She seems so nice to her fans!!
---------------------------

P/S: Well I'm not sure if it's the real person or not (no doubt there are many fake celebrity account), but at least this action/respond made my day despite it might be a fake one.

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

Selena Gomez [in photo: sitting, with her wand] is an actress - lead role in Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place. I always watch this tv series due to the creative storyline and funny and real acting in every episode. Her acting is soooo good and hilarious, especially her 'sarcastic' moments with Justin (David Henrie, funny funny)~

Mr. Bean's car (in pink) 10:53 PM

I decided to take a photo of this eye-catchy car placed outside my house gate car park area.

Look familiar? Yes it is indeed similar with Mr. Bean's signature car.
Bean's car is in LimeGreen; whilst this is Pink, I think the owner wanted it to be unique and different instead of having exactly the same car as Bean.

Oh well, it's so cute and lovely!! Enjoy~ :D

Special __ Slice? 10:32 PM

Had this special __ slice from new opening of PA Saloon (which is my usual-visit saloon @ KK).

Back to the topic:

We've Pork and Chicken, and also Beef [that I don't eat].

This one also taste like chicken.

But now let ya'all guess what meat is this slice made of...

Answer: "Crocodile". highlight the " -- "

The Twins Effect ~SPECIAL POST~ 4:30 PM

SPECIAL POST!!!

"THE TWINS EFFECT 千機變"

The Twins Effect is my most favourite Hong Kong movie ever!

TEN reasons why I LOVE The Twins Effect:

1. Twins

2. Story

3. Comedy Action

4. Strange and unique storyline arrangement

5. Music score/ background music

6. Vampire Slayer's Sword

7. Cameos (Jackie Chan, Karen Mok etc..)

8. Good editing

9. Teamwork (actors, directors and crews etc..)

10. Promotion & Merchandising

Thus I've been collecting their merchandises since the movie released.

I've been to cinema 3 times to watch this movie (KK GSC - Cinema 1, 2, 3 - that's mean I've watched this movie in every cinema hall.. haha).

So I highly recommend everyone to watch it. It's a must watch movie in your life!!

Anyway, above photo is the overview of my collection.

While below are some of the collection's closeup photos.

Also with some additional information at the closing part of this post.

*****************

GSC Movie ticket coupon
- Won from a magazine competition.

- Of course I didn't use it and I've laminated it for long term collection.

Bonus DVD (Disc B) Special Features:
－　製作特輯 (The Making Of)
－　電影人檔案 (Actor's info)
－　預告片 (Trailers)
－　電影速遞 (More attractions/trailers)
－　相片集 (Photo Gallery)

I actually don't know what's the point of giving a bonus Disc B with such a small amount of special features (only 20 minutes). Why not they just fit everything into one single disc OR give us more features on Disc B? It's just a waste..

I wish they will release a SPECIAL EDITION of this movie in the future that included the deleted scenes/extended scenes and more features. They've deleted a lot of scenes (based on a mini magazine that shown and described deleted scenes).. and I think the magazine is more attractive that this DVD!!

Or other option would be a BluRay disc with lots more special features as well!!

^^^

Coaster Set
- Comes with Malaysia first press Edition VCD/DVD. I got 7 sets (1 set was included with the DVD, another 6 sets were purchased separately from a CD shop staff/seller at a very cheap price).

3.Some dialogues are altered.

5.Film length is shorter than the original version (88 minutes for Vampire Effect, 102 minutes for The Twins Effect).
6.Some film scores / music / instrumentals are different from original version (different composer).

Interesting differences from both worlds 2:02 PM

No offense here!

Just wish to share some interesting differences of CD arts from both worlds.

Source from Denden.. Thank you!! =)

Let the pictures talk:

Right side is the Middle East version.

This is due to the dress code law in the country.

BONUS:

"Britney Spears: In The Zone" (China original Version)
* I bought it few years ago @ China trip with my dad. 100% licensed and official.

+ Comes with a nice 24 pages chinese translate lyrics photobook (same as Taiwan version, but in simplified chinese).

Forgot 'bout the price, but it should be around RM10+ (usually official CD in China is around that price, bootleg is cheaper).

Maybe it seems nice and alright or nothing wrong.
But lemme show you the tracklist:

One album only comes with 5 tracks (+1 remix).
What happened to the rest of the tracks?

Well, it's being banned. Thus only 5 tracks are survived and can be released to the country.
Original worldwide release consists of 13-15 tracks (depends on the bonus tracks in some countries).

lol.

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

Another similar case is Spice Girls' Greatest Hits (also China Version, official and original): They've banned Wannabe & Holler in the CD album, but however this two tracks is included in the Deluxe Version's music video DVD.

lol2.

Close up on Britney (doll) 7:32 PM

Mini version

another curious set 12:54 PM

Finally I've bought another bottle of BRITNEY SPEARS™ curious - in a 50mL boxset!

Well, I've tried to search for a new fragrance for myself but seems nothing as good as curious.

It's more longlasting and a fragrance that I can hold for quite a long time (compare to the other fragrances)... and at least much more better that the one that I bought at KL [faktz for man -- anyone wants this? I'm willing to give out this sucks 100mL fragrance, definately not my type.]

This 50mL curious giftset comes with a pink handbag with 'curious' design handle in a nice box (perfume shimmer stick, which suppose to come along, is not included).
Guess how much? Retail price is around USD45.00 or RM170++.

I bought it at RM99.00 only. Both fragrance & the bag is brand new!! :)

P/S: I also bought another tube of BS's fantasy 'Caught In A Spell; 100mL shower gel at RM28.00! [Which is cheaper than I bought last time (it cost me RM45 including shipping fee to Miri last time). This time was COD.]

Happy fragrance day!!

Puff x 'Corect' starsigns 9:22 PM

Went to Centre Point with Colvin, Ricky (Richie!!), Aniis and Rosalie.
We had our Pizza Hut lunch there as well~~

Randomly we got a flyer to promote a Puff store at Palm Square while shopping at the groundfloor. It looked tasty and nice, so I decided to buy and wish to have a try.

Then I saw this scene: The staff measuring the weight of each puff (after added cream into it).

This is call FAIR. =)

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

Why I wrote 'Corect' starsigns?

Please look below:

Found out anything?

The correct spelling should be: Capricorn & Aquarius.

(Me, Aniis and Rosalie laughed a lot bout this... lol)

What happened to the factory or designer?
I wonder if there's anyone who actually bought it or gonna buy it.
So please do check everything carefully before you buy anything!!

lol.

Exp(t)ensive M & S Chocolate 1:40 PM

I love to try something new, especially food.

I went to Mark & Spencer at KLCC during KL trip last month, and saw a special snacks shop in there. They are having promotions that time, so I bought few chocolate and cookies set back home for my family.

Randomly, I saw this 'special' christmas-cracker packaging chocolate on the payment counter. It attracted me to buy due to the packaging and price.

Each tube comes with two milk chocolate ball with smooth filling inside (around 50cent size, 12g each).

Can you see the price on the photo?

Yes, it's RM13.00 for one tube.

By the way, I bought it because of the Christmas offer: three for RM15.00.

Still expensive eh?

What's more: nothing special and not like a 'heavenly' excellent chocolate anyway.

Can't compare with the Esther Egg Chocolate from Australia that I ate few months ago.. that's one of the most delicious chocolate ever!! And my heart = melting while eating it~ haha
