hello public

seriously, do you know how much effort it takes to actually create a blog entry. everyone thinks i just sit in front of my computer wearing my sequinned jimmy choos, twirling my hair, typing out random things that come to my bimbotic mind and splashing photoshopped fotos here and there. all this while buffing my nails.

well listen here sister, its so much more different than that. sometimes, yeah, sometimes, i wear the non-glitter jimmy choos instead. i know right, i'm such a rebel.


now take a look at this picture. what does it look like to you? a window right?

well to me, its not. to me, it looks like a camwhoring backdrop.

and so you probably think, like how many pictures can i possibly do with just that "window"? lets find out.

some people called with obsessive. i call it versatile.



and so i felt bored. and decide to move on to other items that i can camwhore with. oh by the way, i went out with sharif this week, or better known a Barney to this blog.

oh you know, the few pictures i took next to the window, Barney wanted a shot too. and since he's mostly camera shy, like me, ahem, there's only one foto.

so i found other interesting spots that i could camwhore at.

next to a lamp and in front of a persian rug.

random corners, with fake plants and whatnots.


after being bored of random shots, we tried setting the camera on timer mode.

doesnt it make you wonder where this place that i've camwhoring is at?



IMG_0080.jpg picture by alvinhilton


its this quaint little turkish cafe situated at Haji Lane called Cafe Le Claire @ Al Majlis.


the thing is, i've already started on surveying possible locations for my 22nd birthday this year. i know that my birthday is in october and its still a long long way to go. but if they can start the NDP rehearsals now, why cant i start my birthday prep now right?

i read some reviews online about this place being a nice & cosy location to gather with a nice turkish vibe.

looks very cosy right the place? so obviously if i were to create a function, i wouldnt let the guest go hungry. so i decided to sample some of their food and desserts.



IMG_0040.jpg picture by alvinhilton




firstly the drink came after 10mins,


IMG_0045.jpg picture by alvinhilton


according to the menu, its some special turkish blend of tea or smthing. but to me it tasted like 100% Lipton tea.



IMG_0041.jpg picture by alvinhilton


as you can tell, the portion of the tea is like fucking small can. its like drinking from those 'masak masak' cups that i used to play tea party with my barbies when i was young.



IMG_0044.jpg picture by alvinhilton


this was how small it was. i paid $3 for this 3 tablespoon of lukewarm lipton tea.


anyway, so i waited and waited for the food to come. and if you've noticed from the amount of pictures taken, i did wait quite a while.

and the thing is i hate waiting. i wouldnt say that i am an impatient person. its just that i dont like to wait. i dont like to wait for buses, i dont like to wait in queues, i dont like to wait for toilets and worst of all, i dont like to wait for food. to me, time spent waiting is like having a part of my life wasted.


and mind you, after waiting for bloody 1hr and 15minutes, i was beyond pissed. BEYOND.

nobody messes with Malibu Barbie.


the first waiter that came up got a piece of my mind and while he was getting verbal bitchslaps from me, another waiter came up with the food finally. after like 1hr 25minutes then the food come ar. the place is not even crowded okay. it was like fucking 4pm for god's sake. bloody koko crunch murtabak!!!

so the second waiter too got a verbal bitchslap from me. and both of them just stood there, stunned. i saw the food that the second waiter had on his tray and boy did the food look pathetic.

i realise that all that verbal bitchslapping makes me even hungrier. so i just left like a few bucks on the table for the drinks we drank. and stormed out that looserish place. and you know what pisses me off throughout the whole thing, they didnt even apologise. fuckers!


i told you nobody messes with Malibu Barbie.


CAFE LE CLAIRE @ AL MAJLIS at HAJI LANE



IMG_0080-1.jpg picture by alvinhilton



everytime somebody googles for this place, i hope they read this BAD BAD review about the place. fucking waste my time.

the place looks nice, inside, yes.
the food looks pathetic.
the service is a major fucker.
location, not very accessible.


stupid sucky place that i will never bring anybody to.



ruin my stupid afternoon. so we went to some place at bugis to eat instead. took less than 5minutes for my mee pok to come. and the service came with a smile. and everything so cheap some more.

oh, anyway, congrats to David Cook for winning American Idol after perfoming so god damn bad on the finals. as fantastic as david archuleta was on the night of the finals, only continues to prove the fact that american idol is still and merely a popularity contest.
