My playlist is random.

Friends who know me will know that i am a big fan of SCV'c channel 51 - MTV Asia.

Basically, i just like music and music videos(mvs). I think they are the coolest thing ever created.
I will usually go and get a new album pronto if i chanced upon the a MV that i like.
Some how i feel the mvs can make you feel what is the song trying to protray and it will be extra nice!!! :)

Smellycat always claims that i terrorize him by turning on the tv with MTV asia blasting at home.

Finally, when he left in Sep, i got 4 mths of watching Channel 51 happily without him making noise.

Guess what?

To counter me, he got this really cool Bose companion 5 speakers (when he's shore leave) for his PC and blast it when he is watching movies, anime or you tube the moment he's back.

Geezz....

I gave him trying to vie with him .

I've instead started searching to watch my favourite MVs and newly released MVs via youtube.

I'm like totally hooked on watching youtube MVs!

Then i realised that there are KTV versions of my fav MVs! Coolios! :P

I started bookmarking them into my favorites folder and will sing KTV via my gaming earpiece (with mic - Ha!) and my laptop!

Smellycat wasn't around when i started doing this KTV- youtube thingy.
So you can imagine his horror when he saw me doing that one night.

Hahahahahahhahahahah! :P

Been toying with an idea of starting a MVs blog coz my bookmark folder is simply haywiring! Not to mention it is tedious to open so many new mvs in new tabs or windows.

Told a few friends about my idea but mostly think i am either:
- crazy.
- nonsense.
- obsessed.

Vio: Hey, i got a new project swimming in my head ....
Ser: What?
Vio: Its ok la. When i really do then i tell you.
Ser: What la! Tell me la! Tell me halfway then dun wanna say.
Vio: I wanna create a blog with all my favourite music videos!
Ser: Eeeeeks! Thanks man. This is one blog i sure won't wanna visit. (for the record, ser hates KTV with a vengeance!!)
Vio: ...........................

"-____-

Come on, i just like to sing!
Not that i have a good voice but i find it damn challenging to tackle those damn difficult level 70 songs!
And also sing to my heart's content at home. Its cheaper than going to KTV too.

Anyway, the point is, after much procrastination, i've started a music video blog.

Enjoy the music.

Random Ramblings.


Chanced upon this Playmobile Fairytale set.
Got Castle. Got Princess. Got Princess
Happily ever after....


Anyway "happily ever after" could be bought at a freaking $399.95!!
Woah!


Am damn crazy over broiled "gonggong" (this snail escorgot lookalike thingy) and sambal stringray. The hawker centre @ Blk 511,Bedok North Rd serve them best !! The chilli rawks!
*yumz*


Mini v spacing out . . . . . . .


Though stacking is one of milestone of a 18 mth old, i've never seen mini v doing it before.
So i am damn excited when i saw her stacking smellycat's mints and blocks all by herself. :)


Why is mini v is so happy???


Coz her Garlic Kaofu bought her her fav Heffalump Elephant!

The funny thing is nobody ( except me of coz!) get it why is she so so so so happy and excited over heffalump. Garlic doesn't know that who the hell heffalump is much less the fact that she likes heffalump. He got it for her coz its an elephant (her fav animal) and its purple (violet) in color.

Mini v likes Heffalump coz she's been watching Winnie the Pooh's Heffalump the movie during car rides in MummyAngela car! MummyAngela is clueless about it coz when miniv is watching, she is driving! Ha!

Garlic was like telling me that mini v is uber excited and couldn't contain her excitement when she saw heffalump. He claims that she rushed over, grabbed heffalump from Garlic and hugged it REAL tight. He told me she's saying something but he couldn't make out what.

I was damn curious to know what is driving my mini v crazy so i bugged Garlic to show me the pics.

When i saw this pic, it was like "Eureka!" * ting ting* *lightbulb lit*


Mini v and her "Lumpy".
She calls him "Lumpy" like the way Roo calls him in the cartoon!
Thats the word which Garlic mentioned - " she's saying something but i couldn't make out what" !
She is saying "LUMPY!"


A kawaii Lumpy + A jubliant Mini v + an act cute Garlic Kaofu.
Ha!

:: Please note that the following pictures may break the heart of mini v's fans::

No matter how kawaii or goody a toddler may be.
She definately have her noti moments.

Smellycat must have picked up a tip or 2 from the supernanny series coz i am very surprised when mini v spilled water on purpose, he punished her by asking her to go to her noti corner!!!

Since when we have a noti corner at home??

Not only that, he asked her to place her hands on her head!

You may think that its kinda impossible that a 19 mth old will promptly obey and stand in a corner with her hands on her head?


Apparently she did. Ha!
This moment is so classic that i immediately took this picture.


Mini v brawling her lungs out. *heartpain*

She stood there for about 30 secs brawling her lungs out till i asked her what happened.

Vio: Muimui, what happened? Who's the noti girl? Who spill water?
Mini v: Woo-oh ( meaning furkids)
Vio: Woo-oh? Are you sure?
Mini v: *Attempting to put her hands down*

~ at this moment, smellycat turned and looked at her coz she tried to blame the furkids~

Mini v: * started brawling*
Smellycat: Who say you can put your hands down?
Mini v: * sobbing* Mumi... mumi.....
Vio: Who noti? who spill the water?
Mini v: *points to herself* Miu miu .
Vio: ok, then you say sorry to dadi.
Mini v: * in midst of sobs* Deedi sory.
Smellycat: Ok, then you go n clean the floor.

~Mini v then promptly take the rag that smellycat passed to her and started to clean up the spillage.~

Vio: Darling, go and give dadi a hug.
Mini v: Deedi...... * hugs smellycat*

~ It was at this point of warm "deedi" and muimui embrace when mini v saw....~

Mini v: *points to the remaining half cup of cold water that she spilled (on purpose)* Deedi!!! Drink Drink!!!
Smellycat: Drink your head arh!
Vio: "-_____-

Some things never change.
Ha!

Boys & Toys.

Went to town pretty excited today coz.....


Its the launch of Fahrenheit's new album - 双面飛輪海!! 4th Jan 07.


Kawaii manga version of Fahrenheit. Ha!

Loved their new songs like 新窩 and 不會愛.
Therefore am kinda looking for the new album release.
Wanna get good quality versions of it and add in too my Zoom playlist when i go blading!


Check out the shelves on HMV! W00T!!!!!
So many cds!!

There have 2 variants and not only that, you'll get a free Fahrenheit's folder but there is a catch. Either you get Set A (Jiro & Aaron's folder) or Set B (Chun & Calvin's folder).

"-___- Wth!!! What a ripoff!!

Luckily i only like jiro and not all 4 of them. I can imgaine crazy gals buying all 2 variants to get all 4 folders ! :P
(Actually i am having a hard time to choose which variant i wanted too.) Hehehhehehehe

It was while choosing then i realised something.....

How come F4's album cover and Fahrenheit's album cover has such a deja vu feeling????

Same 2 variant covers! Same type of style!
*faint*


Check out zaizai and calvin's scarf! Same color!


Black and white Evening wear???

Oh well. In the end i ended up buying both F4 and Fahrenheit albums ( black /white variant). Ha!
Clever way of marketing!
Put kawaii boy bands' album together and more often or not people will end up buying both!

Wahahahhahahahahahhaha!
( I know i am one of the suckers but who cares! )


My Jiro Folder! Kekekekekekekke.

After all the Fahrenheit maddness, met up with xing and we chilled at starbucks while waiting for Smellycat.



In case you are wondering, the one with whipped cream is mine. :p

Xing: I tot you gals are worried about putting on weight?
Vio: Fark care la, what is chocolate fraps w/o whipped cream?
Xing: ..........
Vio: *happy slurping the whipped cream away*. hehehehhehe :P

And as usual, we went to browse the Takashimaya toy department.


Wanted so much to buy this Hello Kitty sushi chef play pretend for mini v.
I can imagine Mini v wearing her Hello Kitty Summer Kimono serving me sushi.
Wahahahhahah.
But it is so darn ex! Sigh.
Smellycat was against it so.... i didn't get it in the end.


Uber Kawaii Hello Kitty Nurse Play pretend set!
Again, i needed to be dragged away by Smellycat.
*pouts* Sigh.
I can imagine my mini v in it!!! Arghhhhhhh!!!!

Smellycat: Come! i show you the coolest toy here in takashimaya!
Vio: *rasied eyebrow*


He dragged me from Hello Kitty to see this?????


Bandai Mugen Puti Puti Infinite Bubble Wrap Toy

"Popping bubble wrap is one of the most dangerous and ignored addictions in society today.
You've seen it before, the glazed-over look in the eyes, the sheets of spent bubble wrap all over the floor. Sadly there are no officially recognized support groups for those who suffer from popping bubble wrap, but thanks to Bandai relief for your addiction is on its way. Mugen Puti Puti, which translated means "infinite puti puti" will be co-released this month by Bandai and Kawakami Sangyo Co. Ltd, a bubble wrap company.
Air bubbles on double-layered silicon rubber and a built-in speaker simulate the experience of popping bubble wrap and if this wasn't addictive enough, every 100 pops this keychain emits a random sounds such as a doorbell, a dog barking, "sexy voice" or the passing of gas."

After a short explanation for Smellycat who stood there to watch the advertisement and kinda figured out himself what is it, he went ahead and bought one of it!



The stupid advertisement that got him addicted to this puti puti thingy.



Some random fella on Youtube demo on how to play this Puti puti thingy.



Close up of the puti puti.


Mr Happy is very happy with his new toy.


Still "puti-ing" away!


Xing was looking at Toys when Smellycat noticed that i am happily randomly snapping away.
He made a face indicating to me to snap the next shot.


And he did this.
Xing was totally unaware of what he was doing till i burst out into uncontrollable laughter.


Teeko Smellycat terrorising xing!
Wahahahahhahahahahahah

In case you are wondering :He didn't kiss her la. Its a posed shot. :P


On a totally no relation note, i saw this pullover from united color of benetton and i loved the colors!

Think the "IN" colors for 08 are rainbow -candy cane kinda colors!

And when back home.....


Mini v got her hands on the Puti puti thingy.....


Silly her got addicted too!
Happily swinging her head and pressing it!

OMGGGG.

Rides.

Here we go again.

Smellycat kept ranting to me wanting to change car (again).

It seems like every 3 years we will go through this cycle.

Anyway, apparently he had enough of "Power" (turbo charged rides), he wanted something not so "powerful" to the wallet (coz turbo = money). Ha!

But i really wonder how can we get used to driving small cc cars like Picanto or Getz since we've driven our HelloKitty plus for almost 3 yrs.

* Vrrrrrrrrrooooooooommmmmmmmmmm.....psst......vrrroooommmmmmmm........... psst....*

Wahahahhahahahaha.

Anyway, Its always love at 1st sight .

Again ( 1st time round was the porte, then Hellokittyplus).


Its was a lazy friday afternoon when we went to the Car show at expo and chanced upon this car.....


It has such a retro feel. Love the front grilles!

After getting info from the salesperson, smellycat had been researching about this car and seemed pretty keen on it!


Suzuki Alto Lapin (L version)




The inside - Uber Retro!


The Suzuki Alto Lapin is a retro-styled kei car with a 5-door hatchback body, manufactured since 2002 by Suzuki for the Japanese market only, and also marketed in Japan by Mazda as Mazda Spiano under an OEM agreement. It is based on Suzuki's popular Alto kei car.
The Lapin has a very distinctive, boxy shape, that apparently proved popular with female buyers. The name "Lapin" stems from the French word for "rabbit", and the car sports rabbit-head badges. The Mazda version has differs concerning some styling details, including a different front end.
The car is powered by the Suzuki's K6A kei car engine, in either naturally-aspirated (40 kW / 54 hp) or turbocharged (44 kW / 60 hp) versions, available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The default transmission is a 4-speed automatic with column shift, with a 5-speed manual available in turbo versions.

(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )

Will we get it? Its still in the planning phase.... so stayed tuned.

Sugar Rush.

Sugar Rush 1:
Princess Kelene came over today to pass me Belated Christmas Present!!


She got me this uber cool Wellington-y boots from GAP!

She was so afraid that i either don't like it or can't wear it but on the contrary I love it and it fits me to a Tee!

Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheee
:P


Princess Kelene: I see the boots i think of you! So rainbow!
Vio: But there's no yellow... Looks more like kueh lapis color.
Princess Kelene: ..........
Vio: Just Kidding! I love it! So sweet so colorful!
Princess Kelene: :)

Sugar Rush 2:

Check out this dessert platter.

Omg.... it is freaking good i tell you.
The crepes, the cakes (chocolate with hot fudge flowing out), fresh berries, ice creams....

*drools*


Very Cherry Berry Ice cream.
Eating it makes me think of Cherry Berry Blythe. :p


Raspberry. Blueberry. Cherry.

A bit silly but can't be helped.
How often you see so many different types of berries on the same plate!

Ha!

(Anyway, the portion meant for 2 and i didn't finish it all by myself la......)

:p

Vending Bento?

Was on my way to fareast plaza to meet smellycat when he called and tell me there is a funky japanese restaurant he chanced upon.

Smellycat: Some cool vending machine thingy. You should come check it out.

So "check it out" here i come.


Kitchen Mogu Mogu its name. All bright and yellowy! Kawaii!


Smellycat making his way to get food.


Wahh!! Losta cute Bentos! I love the one with faces!


So all you need to do is "touch" the one that you want ( touch screen menu) and pay up the amount indicated.

You'll get a receipt.

Head over to the collection counter with the receipt and .....


Viola! Uber Kawaii Bento on the go!
Ain't the Chicky Egg kawaii?

The food taste not bad for a fast food concept. But don't expect authentic japanese crusine kinda standard.

But for the Novelty - A*!!

:)
