I have been following Shingo T's blog for some time now, and I thought I like his 'random notes' posts. So I decided to start my own Random Notes! Here goes...
1. First, I would like to announce the winner of "I Heart KL T-shirt" contest. Congratulations to Reanaclaire! You just won yourself a "I Heart KL" T-shirt! Please email me your address so I can mail the T-shirt to you! Thank you for those who participated!
2. I bought myself 3 CDs last week.
They were worth buying as each CD costs RM25 only with the exception of the Mariah Carey's latest album which was retailed at RM29. It was actually sold at a special price of RM25 on the first day of the album launch in Malaysia but I was not free to buy it! : (
I know most people now download songs from iTunes and other sources online, but I still like to collect CDs. Probably I'm a bit old fashioned? : )
Anyway, these 3 CDs are worth buying as they contain great songs! No need for me to mention Black Eyed Peas - they already have several hits from their album! As for Colbie Caillat, I can sense some of the songs in her album to have great potential to be radio friendly hits!
3. I've been listening to Mariah Carey's latest album "Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel" for several days now. If you don't already know, I am a HUGE Mariah fan! Look, I have 12 of her CDs!!
I have even wrote a whole post dedicated to her! Read that here if you haven't already. I shall write a detailed track by track review of her latest album in my future post soon. Meantime, if you are a fan, help me to vote for Mariah's song on Mix FM and Fly FM. Thanks!
4. I love to eat cherries and grapes! Do you? Both cherries and grapes are full of antioxidants which are good for you! The other day, a friend of mine went to Selayang market and I asked him to buy me some grapes and cherries.
I was just a bit concerned over the grapes - the skin of the grapes were full of white spots. Do you know how to get rid of them? No matter how much I washed the grapes, the white spots or stains would not come off.
Anyway, the cherries were a hit with my family members. Within a short period of time, the full bowl of cherries became like this!
And before you know it, only the last one was left standing!
Guess who ate that? Haha!
5. I have over 600 unread emails in my inbox! I really don't have the time for this! I am very tempted to delete all the emails! Should I?
6. Anyone interested to watch "Cuci The Musical"? It will be staged from Oct 28th - Nov 8th 2009 at Istana Budaya, KL. Tickets are priced from RM43 (cheapest) to RM253 (most expensive). I normally buy the cheapest ticket seats on the highest floor and use my binoculars to watch! Haha!
The show also stars Adibah Noor, one of my favourite local singers.
The best musical I have ever watched at Istana Budaya is "Chang & Eng", a Singaporean production. Maybe because I loved all the songs - even bought the CD! Oh yes, I remember Adibah Noor performed in Chang & Eng too. She's fantastic!
I have watched "Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical" and "P. Ramlee The Musical" at Istana Budaya and they were not bad. The only problem with Istana Budaya is the seats are too cramped. Tall people would have a problem sitting in the seats there as there is not enough leg room!
7. I don't like the empty spaces on both sides of my blog! Can't they fill up the whole screen? Anyway, I find that it's nicer to read my blog if you magnify it (or zoom in) by pressing Ctrl and +. Alternatively, you can press Ctrl and scroll mouse wheel upwards.
You can press Ctrl and + a few times or scroll the mouse wheel until you reach the desired size.
The photos look even better at this enlarged size! To return back to default, just press Ctrl and the number 0.
Try it now. Do you agree with me?
FIRST COMMENTER
morning
cherry long time no eat.:) can buy at pasar mlm
600 email? OHMYGOD! The few I get are all spam! LOL!
I also bought a Celine Dion CD recently. We can't collect MP3 music.
Oh yes, I still print pictures taken with digital camera. I know many people watch their pictures on PC only.
Good morning foongpc!
I'm a big fan of grapes too for the same reason. My mum has taught me to scrub each grape with coarse salt or flour to remove the "pesticides". She is quite knowledgable in health related knowledge, so I just do what she does. =p
Black eyed peas, I like!
Oooh cherries.. I love cherries and Grapes too!
that day my mom bought a bundle of Grapes. It was so SWEET! It so sweet as though the sweetness is fake! I didn't like it :(.
I love fresh cherries. I can eat a whole bag all by myself. Too bad fresh ones are so expensive over here. Back in Australia, I can get it cheap.
600 emails! Wow.. I got 300 and I am contemplating of deleting the email address! And most of it are probably junk :/
I haven't been buying CDs nor downloading songs! I want to buy Smashing Pumpkin CD :D. I love their songs hehehe :P.
wow your pictures are definitely clear... I shrink my to fit my blog... so it is better view at normal size. Maybe I should do it like you :P. Then people can view it big for a clearer view? hmmm...
Oh Congratulations to Reanaclaire on winning the "I ♥ KL T-Shirt" contest. :)
Cherry was my snack while watching TV in US and Canada but i couldn't afford Cherry for snack in Malaysia... It's way too expensive.
you have ALL the MC's CDs??? tsk tsk tsk...you know in the past i used to think of her as someone who knows how to sing ONLY...meaning ppl compose and write the song and she sings only lar...then after watching American Idol, forgot which season, then she like taught the contestants....then i changed my opinions abt her, she quite talented leh...guess the joke was on me...cant blame me, she got big boobs maa and you know wat the cantonese saying about girls with big boobs lar....ahhhah
PS: reanaclaire is obliged to have her pics taken wearing I heart KL t shirt heheheh..
I am not a big fan of Malaysian movies and stuff but this Cuci musical piqued my interest. I may go watch it...depends.
600 emails?! Delete lar...no one will know. Unless the recipient(s) waiting for your reply on something. How to email you since you have tons and no time to read??
Wow, You are really a fans of Mariah Carey. So many of her albums. All original.
Wow what a collection of Mariah's albums you have. Certainly need a "kowtow"
To clean the white spot on the grapes maybe you can try those fruit & vegetables wash. Tupperware has one product called VegeSafe. Can try that if you want.
Me no fan of musical. Hehe
wow!! u are a REAL MC's fan. that's a huge collection O_O
btw, how much is the cherry/kg in selayang market? it is exp in cold storage/giant
:(
Hmm...still try to figure out about random notes....:)
foong, i wanna change my template, but the thought of having to redo all the widget n blogroll puts me off..
i dun like cherry leh.. dunno why.. grapes, i'll peel the skin before eating them..
Hello Foong,
You stop the China trip story to give room for other stories huh? Geee...I can't wait for another China adventure. It has always been so entertaining. Maybe I myself will go there one day.
This year, I had just planned for a local trip to Kota Kinabalu. Maybe next year, I will go somewhere outside Malaysia. My passport has expired anyway. Thank goodness that now Malaysia has cheaper passport to sell.
I wonder why are they selling the CD's cheap? I always look for original CD like you. Was there a promotion? You are so lucky then. For your info. I used to listen to Mariah Carey when i was young. However, I lost touch with many English songs now.My interest has changed. I am more to Malay songs now. Ahaks! for an English speaking man like me listening to Malay songs... can you believe it? Probably because I couldn't stand the lyrics of many English songs today. Their theme songs tend to be about sex, party and rebellions, which are contradictory to our Asian culture. Well...it is just my opinion.
But having said that, I still love some Western singers such as Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce and Black Eyed Peas.
Okie Dokie. C yeah
wow, so rich go buy original CDs.. i only downloaded from websites, haha!!
mariah carey huh.. hmmm, i have that #1's album, and i like this very much, all her classics..
yum yum, drooling at the cherries and the grapes.. guess i have been eating fruits for a long time already.. :p
you can change your blog template, there are some which fully utilise the whole space.. :)
i dont mind the empty spaces at the side.. maybe my screen is small.. haha..
i love grapes!
congrats reanaclaire! =D
kenwooi.com
i love big, juicy and seedless grapes but hate them when they are way too sour.
i enjoy Mariah's songs too but not a diehard fan.
Wow you are really a big fan of mariah dont you? this make me think to feature her in my TSONG TO REMEMBER BLOG
oh and i love cherries too however i hate grapes...i dont know why hehe
and you're right they are rich in anti-oxidant which is very healthy for us
BLUEDREAMER
^^ have a great day foong anf happy blogging!!
Yeah! What happened to your part 3 huh? Ouh...so you also wanna start your own random notes aye! Let's see. :)
Congrates to Claire. :) Yeah! Now she has a new T Shirt to show her love for KL!
War..last week alone you bought yourself 3 original CDs? How come each costed only RM25? Why so cheap?
I have the BEP one already. Colbie's latest single sounds great. :)
War...you have all her CDs? Gosh! You are really her big, huge fan aye! But why you idolised her so much bro? :p She must have that something that we don't notice huh! :D
Cherries? Grapes?? Yucks! I don't eat these unless my wife wants me too. :p
Yeah the skin of the grapes....looks...like it was lined with so many pesticides. :(
Wow! 600? Well....if all of the are spam! Then why not?
Cuci the Musical? No thanks. I'd rather cuci my mata and sleep at home. Haha :D
War...you have watched the Puteri Gunung Ledang musical too? Sounds like you are a great music fan?
Your blog? I just love it the way it is. :) Have a nice day bro.
Wow, I can see you're a Mariah Carey's fan. My husband loves her too but not anymore.
Surprisingly you can get cherries in Msia? I hope they are not too expensive.
600 unread emails? How come so many? Are you using gmail? If so, those useless ones should be in spammed box then.
Thanks for the Ctrl+ tip. I didn't know that, it's rather useful.
Sorry tak nak 'cuci', about MC still votin for her cant remember when I last stopped buying CDs, love grapes & cherries heard also good to eat the grape seeds good for eyes woh. TQ for the 'ctrl +' its cool. Waiting for 'meet the dragon' adventure Part III..:P
Lots of collection you got!
i love mariah carey too but i don't get all her cds..
Seems you like mariah carey alot ya..
i sometimes wish i were back in KL and watch all the productions. i went to quite a few the yrs i was in KL
I love fresh cherries but they're so expensive!
Hi Foong, cherry is my fave! :)
I don think u can get rid of the white spots tho...on the grapes...
Wah CD shopping or what? Ori or not? He he...I bet the MC one sure ori...abaden! ;)
buying an ori cd makes me satisfied at times. as for the grapes, i guessed u just have to leave those grapes in water for some time and then u wld be able to rub those white spots away
Congratulating Reanaclaire for receiving nice gift from Foong ;) Yesh, I also quite annoyed with the whitish spot on the grapes and hence I seldom eat grapes. A friend of my use dishwasher to clean it but I don't dare to try :D RM 25 for a original Mariah Carey's CD is a bargain... where did you brought it? I most likely will send to 600 emails to dustbin unless the title is eyes catchy enough :P
wahliow...600 over emails to read...just delete it ler...kekeke.
even i got above 100 emails....i will slowly read and maybe delete it also.
I love cherries and grapes too Foong! yum! yum! but i dont know how to get rid of the white spots..
600 emails?! from JS or what? :-D
sherry, can buy at pasar malam? Really? I've never seen them at pasar malam! Is it expensive?
nick phillips, yes, OMG! And all 600 emails are not spam because I have filtered all spam emails! : )
khengsiong, yeah I prefer CDs actually. But I don't print out pictures anymore unless someone requested for the prints : )
shingo T, scrub each grape with coarse salt or flour? Thanks! I will give it a try! : )
ladyviral, the grapes so sweet as though the sweetness is fake? Hmm, I've never tasted grapes like that!
The trouble with my 600 emails are they are not spam or junk emails!
You like Smashing Pumpkin? Then go and buy their album!
You can magnify your blog for your own view but others will have to use the Ctrl + to do the same : )
mei teng, somehow I have a feeling you will like cherries - don't know why! Maybe reading your blog for so long I sort of be able to guess what food you like. Haha!
Yeah, they were expensive!
TZ, yeah too bad it's pretty expensive here!
manglish, you were blinded by her big boobs? hahaha! But yeah, Mariah is a very talented singer. She's what we called a triple threat - she writes, sings and produces her own songs! : )
manglish, yeah reanaclaire must wear the Tshirt and post it on her blog for all of us to see! Over to you, reanaclaire! : )
mei teng, actually I seldom watch local movies too, but the local musicals like PGL and P Ramlee were not bad. I'm not sure about Cuci, but I think it should be quite good as it's the same team that work on the PGL and P Ramlee except for the cast.
Delete all my 600 emails? Hmmm, maybe. I still read my email but only the latest ones though, the older ones I just left them unread. Btw, I've a few email accounts so I reserved important emails for certain email accounts.
superman, haha! Yes I'm a huge Mariah fan so of course all her albums must be originals! : )
che-cheh, now you know I'm a huge fan, haha!
Thanks for your recommendation - btw, I do use Tupperware products. My friend is an agent for Tupperware. And I know you are too : )
xin, yeah I think I have almost all her albums. Maybe one or two I don't have.
Sorry I'm not sure how much is the price of the cherry/kg! Must ask my friend cos he bought both the cherries and grapes and just told me how much to pay him! : )
robo, there's nothing to figure out about random notes. Haha! It's just a collection of things I want to blog about randomly. Mainly topics I want to blog about which are too short to be made into single posts : )
merryn, oh I absolutely understand! I think it's too much of a hassle too! That's why stuck to this template from the very first day I blog till now!
Don't like cherry? Peel off the skin before eating the grapes? I don't like to eat skinless grapes! : )
willie, whoa! That's a long comment! Thanks for reading my China adventures, and yes, I think you should go there one day!
Oh! going KK? It's a great place! I don't mind going there again. I still have an uncomplished mission in KK and that is to climb Mt Kinabalu! Don't think I'll be doing that next year, so maybe the year after that! Will you be climbing the mountain?
Yes, I guess there's a promotion and most of the hit CDs were sold at RM25!
You seldom listen to English songs? Listen more to Malay songs? I like Malay songs too! And Chinese songs! Gosh! So many songs to listen to!! Haha!
SK, not rich lah. I buy when there's a cheap sale except for Mariah Carey's albums - I buy them at any price! LOL!
Her #1's album is really good! I know you just recently bought Madonna's greatest hits right? Haha! I guess buying the greatest hits is an economical way to enjoy a singer's songs.
Only problem is, sometimes the songs I like are not found in their greatest hits! I like some songs which are not even in the charts. So that's why, I buy ALL Mariah's albums! LOL!
It's not that I don't want to change my template - I just don't have the time and it's too much of a hassle for me at this moment : )
Eh I really didn't know fresh cherries are sold in Malaysian markets! So ignorant! Anyway, I love Mariah Carey too! But I don't have all her albums like you. LOL
Nice collection of MC CDs. CD at RM25 is a steal, really. I know I paid much more for MJ's the other day. Am thinking about getting a few of the Beatles remastered albums.
Those cherries look delicious. As for grapes, I just wash them with running water - no special method. I figure I've been eating them for years so why the sudden concern. OH well..
600 emails at work or at play? hehe.. If they are work-related, then you are in trouble(!) but if they are just social emails, then no sweat, eh?
Okay, we are ready to meet the dragon again. ;)
Mariah Carey, she is very talented!
Istana Budaya seats that cramped huh? Can't enjoy a show!
aiks .... cherries?! i only take them when they're on a cake, or ice cream.
a die hard MC fan eh?
i still like her Music Box the most. even after all the years.
no flames please, but i feel that the quality of her songs had dwindled ...
kenwooi, if your screen is small, that's even worse. My blog would appear all the smaller!
life ramblings, these grapes are big, juicy and seedless! Yum!!
bluedreamer27, yes I'm a HUGE fan! Please feature her in your blog! : )
You like cherries but not grapes? I like both.
Happy blogging to you too : )
tekkaus, I bought these CDs at a shop in 1Utama. I think they were having promotions - most of the hit CDs there were selling at RM25 so I quickly grabbed these 3 CDs. Haha!
Why I idolise Mariah? Haha, beats me. Maybe because I just love her voice and her songs. I always enjoy the way she improvise her melodies and how she layers her own voice. And the way she change the tone of her voice within a phrase makes her so much superior compared to other singers!
Last time I met with a vocal teacher from Philippines and he told me Mariah's singing was way above the rest. I think he is right.
You don't like grapes and cherries? Why? They are delicious!
You don't like musicals? You should try watching one - they are really enjoyable!
You like my blog just the way it is? Really or not? Well, thanks but I may upgrade to a better looking template later when I have the time! : )
ai shiang, why your hubby does not like Mariah anymore? : )
Oh, the cherries were expensive!
All those 600 emails are not spam emails, but they are not very important emails either, so I may just delete them!
cheahs@n, thanks for still voting for MC! Grape seeds are excellent antioxidants! : )
little prince's mummy, yes! : )
wenn, you like MC too? Gimme five! : )
keeyit, yes, you are right! : )
bengbeng, you watch musicals too?
day-dreamer, yeah they are expensive!
mariuca, no way to get rid of the white spots on the grapes? Maybe I'll try to rub the grapes with coarse salt or flour as suggested by Shingo T.
Those 3 CDs are originals, OK? I bought them at Movie Magic shop in 1Utama. They were having promotions : )
johnny ong, so you buy original CDs too? ; )
I have tried all methods including leaving the grapes in water but still could not get rid of the white spots.
ben, oh I have tried to use Amway dishwasher to wash the grapes to no avail!
Bought the CD at Movie Magic/Speedy shop in 1Utama.
Thanks for the suggestion regarding my 600 unread emails. I will most probably delete them : )
vialentino, 100 unread emails? Oh, you can still slowly sort them out. I think I'll just delete mine! Haha : )
monica, I don't use JS. Those are valid emails from friends and also some newsletters I subscribed to. I think I will delete most of them! : )
iamthewitch, yes cherries are sold in Malaysia though very expensive! You don't have all Mariah's CD cos you are not a crazy fan like me! LOL!
happysurfer, yeah, I bought it in 1Utama. They were having promotion - most of the latest CDs selling at RM25!
You like grapes and cherries? So have been eating them for years!
Luckily the emails are not work related. Not very important emails though they are not spam either. I think I will delete most of them! : )
You'll get to meet the dragon soon : )
pete, yes, very talented!
Well, if you are not too tall, you can still fit in those seats in Istana Budaya : )
J2Kfm, Yeah I like Music Box too! But I like all her other albums - some more than others of course!
Quality of her songs has dwindled? Well, I don't quite agree. I would say her style has changed. She's more into hip hop now compared to when she first started : )
I want to get the Colbie Caillat cd myself and the Mariah Carey one as well. I like your random notes:)
sorry FoongPc... seems i m the last one to know about this....thanks a lot for the heart tshirt..ok, i wear and snap a pic when i rec it from our foong..hahaha....

healthnut wannabee mom, glad you enjoy my random notes! Yeah, go get the Colbie Caillat and Mariah Carey CDs! I'm sure you'll enjoy both albums! : )
reanaclaire, haha! Yeah, you're the last one to know! Well, it's better late than never. The T shirt will be on the way to your place soon! : )
ayie, I started out with just 4 random notes, but continued to add and add... haha! : )
jam, well, I don't think you will want to live in KL just for the shows right? Haha!
happysurfer, 100 comments! Thanks for making it the 100th comment! Nice number haha! Don't know why your comments disappeared - I've experienced the same thing too when I commented on other blogs and then found that they just disappeared! Poof! No reason and no explanation : )
