C'est LA viE

Purposely went to work at 6am today because i hoped i could leave office before 5pm as we planned to celebrate mum's birthday tonight at a restaurant in Subang.

Had been working very hard lately on the mess i created, no complaint, because i was not precise enough, and i am trying my best to fix the shit and come out with a best solution.

Anyway, thanks to my boss understanding, i still able to leave work around 5pm and celebrate mum's big day.

The dinner at Sin Long Huat was not bad, at least we were fed well, and satisfied with the meal standard. 

Brother and his wife bought a lovely cake from the Hokkaido baked cheese tast store, so surprised they doing cake nowadays too. Economic is really bad, too many competitors.

And we as the customers are the most happy one, get to enjoy the food rather than worrying on the business owner situation....ironic right.

The naughty girl would love to blow the candle on behalf of her nanny, and she did. LOL

I actually think this cheese cake they made was really good, not too sweet, and they used very generous ingredients, with lots of nuts and good quality of cheese (soft and smooth).

The base is also very good, is actually a densed carrot cake base rather than traditional butter-biscuit crumb. 

Size was not too big, but good enough for a family, and cost RM35 is actually quite reasonable. 

Hopefully they would have good business with such a tranformation focusing on new baked goods.

Lastly, happy birthday mum <3

It had been a while since our last gathering, and this time is for Bpeng birthday~ 

Macaroni was picked this time, but it was really a bad idea, the food was so expensive and really salty. 

Another thing that pissed me off was the limited parking space, although the place itself is well known to own a large compartment, but they even hired guard to control the traffic and direct the parkings, but it was really bad that they set the parking spaces in front of the shop at a very narrow space.

The guard directed me to the space and seriously I could not able to reverse my car to fit into the parking space, it had no extra space for me to even slightly turn my car. 

My car front wheel actually torn the wooden chair (a little one) placed in front of the shop twice! I was so pissed off and luckily Bean just arrived and told me to park at the road side which was a much better idea.

So with a bad emotion being set off, i entered this place which recently gaining popularity in Klang.

I can tell this place is famous because of the environment, and i also frankly told the others that the review was bad.

Indeed, i was right, the price is steep, even a simple salad cost RM20! Not even mention about the drinks, all of us had just RO water, refillable but cost RM1！

The price was ridiculous, even the seafood spagetti i ordered come with so called luxurious seafood - mussels, scallop , squids and shrimps, the taste was way too salty.

This plate cost me RM35! which had not include GST and service charges. 

I had to admit the service was considered good because the chicken leg Chyi ordered was undercooked and the restaurant decided to wipe off the charges for that plate and also gifted a complimentary dessert. 

Only thing is the dessert they gifted was real bad. 

Well, the main character tonight was not the food, but is our dear friend, Bpeng.

Happy to gather tonight, and we still had lots of fun conversation. 

Anyway, happy birthday~

Sometimes, I really enjoy being by my own, spending time wandering around the mall, having meal by myself can be quite a stress relief for me.

It's just somehow I wished to just being with myself, think about what to eat without caring others thought, buy the thing i want without have to think much of other opinions.

It had been a while since i did this last time, and today i decided to do so because of the stressful job caused by my mistakes recently.

I was thinking maybe i should just back home and rest, but somehow, i would like to just be by my own tonight, so i went to Pyramid without hesistation.

Of course i picked here for a reason, because i saw the sales on voir online yesterday, and without deep research, thought that they have a outlet at Pyramid.

So wrong~ Voir actually moved out from Pyramid for a while already, so i just went to watson and other shops.

I picked Poke Bear for dinner, saw this kiosk last month and thinking to give it a try.

Price was actually steep for such a salad bowl, but i like the environment because it is located near to the entrance of Sunway Lagoon, and there were not many people passed by at this area. 

I always love this kind of hidden area, I dont have to care how others view on me having dinner by myself. 

In fact, i didnt care much tonight while chosing to have my salad rice bowl here. 

I chose my own combination of bowl, like they have such a good varieties to choose, and the staffs are very friendly especially he come to serve me rather that i go to collect by my own.

I was actually being cheered a bit after having meal here, food was actually ordinary, but the salmon was fresh and quite a lot too. Thank you.

Love this kind of motivation, it could be by myself, or by the food, or even by the friendly staff with a good smile. Life is tough, but there is good thing to keep us moving forward~

I didnt get to shop much tonight, but surprisingly i had other acquisition~

Look at this! Malaysian landmark in lego! All done by local creative "part-time" designer, i think they got a proper job but also love lego a lot.

Thank you for create all these and also show to the public, because i really enjoy watching all these~

Malacca red house, was done so cutely~

Guess where is below landmark, i havent visited this place too, is at BOH tea plantation at Cameron Highland~

Inside also was precisely made~

Then is the A famosa at Malacca, i also could recognise this although it the color was not the exact one. 

Next is an islamic heritage park at Terengganu, it was done beautifully~

I visited this place before - Berjaya beach resort at Tioman island. nice =) 

Definitely is the landmark for Malaysians, the parliment. 

National Museum also very nice, is a huge creation here.

even the back also being taken care.

I guess this is the old central railway station~

Then i also could recognise this though i also never been there - Lake Taiping~

This is Angkasapuri~

The modern rapid station was also precisely made, love this so much~

Even the train inside also detailed defined, reminded me of what i had seen in kyoto.

Every corner also can encounter surprise, this is why i really like to see this kind of construction and architecture. 

Next is the famous Penang Kek Lok Si temple~ nice!!

This was labelled as HSBC building at Sungai Petani, Kedah. very cutely displayed. 

a typical scene of kampung life was named for this exhibition, indeed is typical, is at beach~

Then, the last exhibition i encountered is this jalan jalan cari makan, i guess it is to resemble a large food court with Malaysian local food store, indicate how all Malaysians are foodie.

Nasi campur~

ooh, i saw satay, so cute!

there's also other smaller, mini landmark creation at another display side. Actually the collection was yet to complete, i still saw some staff is assembling the other landmarks, so i think the collection of the exhibition should be done by 31st August. Thinking to come again for another visit....

Well, the independent day is coming soon, and i think it is a good idea to set such an artistic and creative exhibition~ 

Although i encountered a short while power outstage once reaching home tonight, and need to shower in the dark, but thank god that the outstage was just a very short time. 

It was still a happy day, and i really think i was blessed. So keep moving forward vivian!

不可思議的，我的同事竟然邀約我去看電影，這部電影還是意外的是一部泰國片

其實一開始我並沒有抱著很大的希望，心想一定會是部普通的電影，但意外的非常好看！

《模範生》，這部電影在泰國票房過億，在臺灣票房也報捷，男女主角還會在月底到臺灣謝票

現在不得不讚嘆泰國的成功，不但是在食品加工品質方面的良好表現（因爲我接觸不少泰國的supplier過），在電影娛樂方面其實也是很優秀

故事其實是因爲真實事件啓發，圍繞在2個所謂天才的資優生利用自己的聰明天分幫別人作弊而從中牟利的故事

我一開始也在納悶，作弊這件事怎樣可以拍成一部2個小時的電影，一看真的是不得了，整部電影從開始到結束沒有一刻可以放鬆

我的情緒也和主角一樣那麽緊綳，不時替他們捏了一把冷汗，導演，音效，剪接，演員的表現功不可沒

而且在這麽緊湊的節奏裏，不會有讓人混亂和模糊的感覺，也百出笑料，是一部非常具有娛樂性的電影！

當然，個人絕對不倡導作弊這件事，而且覺得主角們利用自己的聰穎來幫人作弊賺錢的手段感到相當遺憾，幸好最後我們的主角還是有如夢初醒，回頭是岸

故事的一開始是因爲要幫身邊的好朋友，因爲可惡的教育制度要求GPA要有某個分數以上才能代表學校參賽的規則，讓我們的女主角lyn想幫助所謂笨蛋的閨蜜一把，用一塊橡皮檫戰戰兢兢的給她答案

因爲這一次的成功，讓閨蜜的男友逮到機會，用錢來誘惑lyn，開始了所謂的古典音樂課程，實則是教導答案的代號的學課，每次開課，賬本上的數目就會一次一次的增加

先不理會到底這些還是中學生的“莘莘學子”哪來那麽多資金“繳古典課”學費，想必是大人們也被懞在鼓裏吧，但是金錢的誘惑果真大！會讓人如此迷失，不懂得分辨對錯，尤其LYN,完全不覺得自己有錯

當然究竟爸爸有沒有給學校所謂的喝茶費也是有待討論，因爲電影一開始就交待女主角因爲優異的學業所以可以得到獎學金和所有學費全免，所以照例來説不應該有還必須給什麽管理費的道理，且這筆管理費樹木並不小

但是或許就是太聰明了，所以lyn才會想到利用自己的聰穎替自己賺錢，但是因爲年紀還算小加上正直青春期叛逆的年紀所以就很容易的被金錢迷惑。她的天真和自信甚至說是驕縱讓他更加大膽，試圖挑戰更加深嚴的STIC國際考場，以致到最後付出沉重的代價

幸好泰國還是一個很講究因果報應的佛教國家，這點也很長反映在它的電影上，lyn最後因爲bart的威脅終于承擔了自己所犯下的錯，雖然這麽一來她的好朋友們就會失去到美國讀大學的機會，甚至她的前途也會面臨相當大的考驗，也會讓爸爸非常失望，但是鏡頭一轉，慈祥的父親流淚的安慰著女兒，沒關係，我們一起來面對未來的一切難關

所以影片結尾lyn很勇敢的去告白自己所犯下的罪行,反觀一開始正義十足的bart再重重利慾誘惑下，已經失去了自我，而且一錯再錯，甚至到最後被懷疑作弊被抓后也沒有悔意

他拿走所有換來的金錢，投資到媽媽的洗衣店裏，然後大言不慚地說著他們奈我不合，頂多只是被訓一頓，不會有更嚴重的罪行，然後再次的要lyn配合他繼續犯罪，在lyn的拒絕后甚至威脅起了lyn

當初遊説bart行罪的lyn現在角色調換，對lyn而言是多麽的後悔，對本來優秀的bart來説這是多麽的遺憾和令人惋惜

這部電影也説明了那些出生就有錢的富家子是怎麽的糟踏社會下層卑微的百姓，爲了自己的私欲竟然去毆打bart導致他錯失報考出國留學的名額，失去了那麽難得的機會，然後用錢收買他從而可以幫助富家子作弊

難怪bart會怨lyn，因爲一切看似真的是她造成的，上帝如此不公平的讓那些出生良好的人奪取我這麽難得可以出頭的機會，所以我現在就要把這些人的金錢拿回來因爲那是屬於我的

這種想法其實在bart身上是很理所當然，但是是因爲自己的不甘和勞累，既然可以如此輕鬆的掙取那麽一大筆資金，爲何還要讀書

所以金錢的誘惑和欲望真的會讓人迷失，雖然bart出生沒那些富家子那般好，媽媽工作辛苦，他也必須承擔以後扛起整個家的責任，但是他卻非常聰明。然而，他最後還是被自己的聰明誤，最終走上了錯誤的道路

其實那些要作弊的孩子們歸根究底會走上這條路也是家庭教育的失敗，他們出生就擁有一切，對於需要讀書才可以考取好成績這件事讓他們覺得很無助，簡單來説不是笨，而是不肯努力，想投機取巧得到成功，來滿足那些家長要求的考上頂尖大學的面子，大人的思維和教育就這麽寫實的反應在小孩身上

當然不是所有大人都只為自己考量，lyn的爸爸就是一個很好的模範。生為教育工作者的他對女兒的做法非常失望，但是對女兒的愛還是非常令人動容的。在女兒闖下了如此大禍后還是循循善誘的安慰著女兒，並一起承擔女兒犯下的後果。

也可以看得出來當bart被學校開除時，他媽媽的哭泣是多麽的傷心，當洗衣店已經煥然一新時也不見媽媽的蹤影，我想媽媽一定非常失望

但願現實世界中沒有那麽多bart，因爲真的很悲哀。其實說到尾，所有事情都不能怪罪誰，這些都是自己的選擇。Lyn選擇去幫人作弊，最後也選擇承擔。Bart其實有回頭的機會，但是他的怨恨太深了，最後是自己選擇繼續幫人作弊甚至要了更多錢。那些富家子們是自己選擇給錢作弊的，所以他們也必須承擔東窗事發后的代價。

一切都是一念之間的抉擇，它的影響就是如此深遠。

回到電影本身，不得不佩服這些學生層出不窮的作弊手段，這麽如此高招，那麽難背的古典音樂彈指法都記得住，倒不如好好讀書好了

每次他們作弊時，我們這些觀衆也超級緊張，整場電影下來也真的冷汗直流。

如果你覺得看這部電影可以放鬆的話那你可能要改觀，因爲我看了后壓力更大，哈哈哈，當然這是誇張的説法了

這電影的音效真的不是蓋的，基本上就是帶動觀衆一直不停的看下去。

男女主角其實都是大有來頭的，女主角看似平凡路人，但人家可是一名模特兒，化妝后根本就是美女一枚！

男主角更是不用説了，我第一次看這個人，有感覺像朴寶劍，最後那幾幕又像鄭容和。人家也是在泰國非常高人氣，俗稱泰國朴寶劍，是爆紅小鮮肉~

還沒看過電影的朋友趕緊去，真的是2017年大推的電影！

Alright, is family day today too, woke up considered early this morning to accompany my parents to Rawang to settle the tenants left over at my dad's other property. 

Then, we decided to go Puchong to try out my cousin's new open Bak Kut Teh restaurant. 

Honestly opening a Bak Kut Teh restaurant at Puchong area is really risky, especially with the rental fee of RM5k per month, it is really tough.

I could tell it is really very challenging to attract business here, especially there is not much customers when we arrived.

But not sure if there are more customers at other time, as we were quite late for lunch because we were lost on our way to here @@

However, i think there was a standard of food quality at my cousin's restaurant, not very yummy, but not bad either. 

Hopefully he can hang in there and wish there is more customers in the coming days. 

So lucky to find out that his restaurant is just beside the famous Moonlight Cake House, i had always wanted to visit here some time ago. 

Saw this famous durian cake, RM99 for 500g! OMG, i am still considering shall i buy it on my birthday. 

Then, there is also a Totoro fondue! So cute~

We bought some breads, i got myself a chicken floss and sausage bun, it was quite nice.

Dad also suggested to buy a full cake because i told him this cake house is famous with their cakes. So i picked the yuzu cake~

RM61 indeed not cheap, but i quite like it, it was very dense, and not too sweet. However, if mention about the tastiness, i still think Switch cafe did a better job =) 

That's all for my weekend~
