I wasn’t in the mood writing maybe due to Euro 2008 football season or maybe I am just L-A-Z-Y
. Anyway, last week we celebrated our 17th month anniversary at The Apartment, The Curve. Before that, we both exchanged our present in the car. This is actually a short celebration so, less pictures and less words
.
It’s our D.I.Y. cards made for this special day. That was our idea and both of us try to make a card for each other. I guess it was special and of course the more complicated and nice it is, the more she/he loves you.
We had ourself a bottle of Jackaroo red wine. Can’t really remember the detail about this red wine, but it surely taste good. It was introduced by the waiter and it was not as expensive as others which were more than RM100++.
Last but not least, our dessert. This baked chocolate pudding served in hot and cold. The pudding was hot served with ice cream by the side. Eating both together, it was just tasty, very creamy and “chocolatie”
.
And that’s how we celebrated our this month’s anniversary. A short one but a nice one as well. One day I will go out with her to watch a match with her since she loves watching football. Anyway, that’s all for now, peace out.
Few weeks back, I’ve got a chance to try out the new bar name Long Bar, which located at One World Hotel. It has been opened for a month already. On that day we went, only 2 or 3 tables including us.
Though it may be a little quiet, but I really love the environment there. Maybe it was due to this bar just opened not long ago, and they said they have not really give out the fliers yet.
They served food as well. Will try them next time. Maybe our anniversary
.
And of course, we will not leave out what we had there. Yeevon got herself a Long Island Tea and I got myself an AK-47. These were the cocktails which the waiter recommended to us. We asked for some strong cocktails.
They have already prepared for the coming Euro Cup 2008. I guess this place will attract alot of football fans as this place has a good environment to hang out.
I didn’t really took photos and didn’t really try their food. I will try them on our next visit. Will write more reviews about this bar. Peace out.
I’ve started collecting decks recently. Not those ordinary decks, which came free from buying beers or what so ever, these are some nice custom decks made by a few deck manufacturers. These decks were from Ellusionist and Theory11.
From Left
Top: Bicycle Guardians (Theory11), Bicycle Shadow Masters (Ellusionist), Bicycle Black Ghost - Second Edition (Ellusionist), Bicycle Black Tiger (Ellusionist), Bicycle Centurions (Theory11)
Center: Bicycle Vintage 1800 Series - Blue (Ellusionist), Bicycle Masters Edition - Blue (Ellusionist), Bicycle Ghost (Ellusionist), Bicycle Masters Edition - Red (Ellusionist), Bicycle Vintage 1800 Series - Red (Ellusionist)
Bottom: Bicycle Rider Back - Blue (USPCC), Tally-Ho Black Viper Circle Back (Ellusionist), David Blaine - SplitSpades: Lion - Black (Theory11), Tally-Ho Black Viper Fan Back (Ellusionist), Bicycle Rider Back - Red (USPCC)
Most of the decks were came from my cousin because he’s going to US soon. So he gave me some of his collections to me and I start addicted to them. And another reason was that one of my “client” who was also a magician, she posted a video of her deck collections on her YouTube channel and I start interested on the decks. I’m not a magician but I do know a few tricks.
These are the coolest decks I’ve ever had because they are black. Not just the box were black in colour, the cards itself are black.
Here’s the example of black cards. The one I’m showing was the latest deck from Ellusionist, Bicycle Black Ghost - Second Edition. Why do I have to say it’s the second edition? Because the first edition were never sold and it’s only given away as a gift. The first edition was sold on Ebay at the price of USD450 for a deck.
They look old but actually they are not. They designed it that way. The designer for this deck were so great that everytime when I hold the deck, I thought it was a very old deck. Look how old they are. It looks like it was dug out from an ancient time.
These decks are from Theory11. Thought their box was black, but their cards were not. For the David Blaine - Split Spades: Lion, I really love it. It has alot of mysteries going on inside this deck of cards.
If you see the upside down Ace of Spades, you can see it’s actually a small letter D and B (db). That was his name, David Blaine.
As you can see the Ace of Spades, the bottom which says SplitSpades and Stutzman, the designer of the deck.
And when you turn it upside down, you will see the word Blaine and the word Superstitious. Isn’t it cool? The designer were just impressive. I really like this deck alot for their creativity.
Can you see David Blaine?
The blue and the red Bicycle Masters Edition were the better quality of the Bicycle Rider Back. They have also changed the Ace of Spades to the eagle version. It was a very nice deck.
And last but not least, it’s also one of my first deck, my favourite deck, the scariest deck I’ve ever own, the Bicycle Ghost.
Everything about this deck is black, white and blood red. They are really cool and spooky, as you can see from the name itself, Ghost.
Each of the deck cost from RM10 to RM40. You can’t buy directly from the official website of Ellusionist due to our Malaysian Customs were really strict but it has no problem on Theory11.
So, how do I get some of these decks from Malaysia? I got them from either Magic Garage or The Magic Street. I would highly recommend this 2 sites if you want to purchase decks or other magician tools, gimmicks and videos.
Magic Garage actually has a public forum to discuss anything about magics, reviews of all the products and friendly people inside. They are really nice and people there as I’ve knew a few friends from there already.
The Magic Street doesn’t have any forum but their stuff there were a little cheaper.
That’s all for now. I’ve been inactive due to some reasons. One of the reason is because I hardly went out. But don’t worry, I’ll post interesting articles whenever I could. Thanks for reading my article, peace out.
Not exactly what you think. We did not stay there for 500 days, we celebrated 500 days of being together on Tuesday. We just sort of making it a special day just to eat some nice food
. Just kidding.
Anyway, we celebrated at Tony Roma’s, the same place where we had our dinner last time, at Cineleisure. And this time, we had our lunch.
During the lunch time, they had some set lunch menu and each set also comes together with a Soup of the Day and a glass of soft drink.
Can’t really remember the soup’s name. I think it was onion with beef soup if I’m not mistaken. It comes together with some crackers. The soup taste good especially when you dipped the crackers.
We preferred the ribeye to be cooked medium rare as it will be juicier than it was cooked well done. Also, comes together with salads and fries. i just love their fries. The portion of the ribeye was big enough for both of us and since I’m controlling my diet, it’s just perfect. For those who really eat big, 1 set wont be enough
.
Actually, I’m not really sure if the name was correct. It has strawberry, cheese and martini on it. It really taste good, if you love drinking liquor.
Why did I choose to eat at this place? It was because the last time we had our dinner there, the receipt has a note asking us to do the survey online. And once you have answers everything, you will be given a survey validation code and you have to write them on the receipt.
Once you have done the survey, RM10 off for a minimum of RM30 spent on your next visit to Tony Roma’s. And now, I have another survey to do. I’ll do it later maybe. This time, the waiter who served us, did not do a good job as the one who served us the last time.
But anyway, Tony Roma’s is a good place to eat. Kinda pricey but their food were just delicious. Try them out. There are going to open alot of outlets soon I guess, so check them out. That’s all for now, peace out.
It’s been a long time I’ve not been talking about my dad (which means he’s doing great in his recovery). He has been sleeping upstairs for few weeks already. With some support from me and mom, he’s able to walk up the stairs and the reward for him is an air-cond room. Alot of my relatives were shocked and happy when they heard my dad can walk up the stairs.
It was so hot these few days and until today since few days back, our house got no water. That is like a worse nightmare. We have been sweating alot even my living room now have 5 fans switched on. The weather sucks.
We celebrated Mother’s Day last Saturday. And since we can’t go out and my dad can’t bring us to have a great dinner, I ordered pizzas from Pizza Hut together with my cousin sister celebrating as well. I bought the pizzas using the money I just earn from Google Adsense. I guess I’m going to receive my second Nuffnang cheque soon too.
I told my dad that it was Mother’s Day that day and then when my mom came near my dad, my dad said “Happy Mother’s Day” which were not really clear. But that was enough to make us all cry. With that, I know my dad will be getting better soon since he’s able to walk up the stairs and talk.
That’s it for now. I’ve been lazy these few days for not posting new articles because I hardly going out and taking photos. But don’t worry, I will as soon as I have new stuff to post about. Thank you readers for all the support you have given from the start. Peace out.
