C'est LA viE

How great is this! I got to off from work early because QA department passed the SQMS audit with flying colors and all executives are welcomed for their celebration!

Their celebration is big this year, at least we had 2 events in a run.

First, we got to play the escape dungeon for free! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Escape Dungueon is a live escape room game, I only knew this game when my colleagues were talking about it once when we had lunch.

And today I got to play this fun game =D Thanks for the effort on scoring the SQMS, QA rocks! (of cz R&D is still the best! =P)

So this Escape Dungueon is located at a shop lot (2nd and 3rd level) at SS15, which is very close to where I work.

I'm impressed that how they designed the game at this limited space and using very cheap material and creative tricks.

We only got to play 2 games because we arrived late due to our busy workload.

The games we played are "trap" and "Ruin of Darnation"...and I am shameful to say: WE LOSE!!! =( so sad...

we were actually very very close to escape...but we were too detailed, and looked into unnnecessary things, then overlooked very easy clues which were right in front of us.

Oh well, that's game: there are winners, of cause there will have losers....

Thank god we were not the only losers =S

Then we continued the celebration at Italiannies for dinner.

Apparently 'someone' had ordered so many dishes (well, is company treat...) but just for trying purpose and kept passing these dishes to us for "sharing" purpose.

However, our big boss is not very pleased with wastage, so we must swell up every single dishes right at front of us even tho not ordered by us.

So, we had finished dishes which we ordered, but also need to clear dishes which 'someone' ordered for 'sharing' purpose.

Oh well, what to do? We love food, we have to appreciate them too.

=(

As for review, I rate 3 out of 5. The portion is big enough, and come with many varieties too. However, the food is just normal.

However, good to have meal in a western restaurant especially when I not need to pay a single penny. =)

Life is good.

被这部片名吸引了一段时间了，只是苦于找不到片源所以只好耐心期盼

果然时间是最好的解药，在我渐渐忘了这部电影的时候，它就出现在我眼前了嘻嘻

首先必须说这部片真的如他的名字般吸引人，加上又是之前大获好评的《告白》编剧-凑嘉苗之手，出演的演员们也是相当厉害的

电影里的所谓‘白雪公主’(三木典子）不是女主角-井上真央，而是在<first class》中爆红的菜菜绪

故事把她刻画成美如天仙的公主，是人见人爱的美女，不止外貌，也有一颗善良的心

然而故事的最初，宛如玫瑰般的刺红鲜血就像曲线般从她身上缓慢流出她白色的衣裳，他美丽的躺在血泊中

城中所有人都在议论纷纷是谁如此残忍，公司里的同事也纷纷跳出来赞美死者，然后把矛头指向平凡，却有着如诗般美丽的名字的女同事 -  城野美姬

这时一个落魄的导演-绫野刚 从好友沙子那里掌握了死者和嫌疑犯的资料，自己当起编剧在网络和电视平台大肆宣传

而在白雪公主尸体被发现后失踪的美姬更是一直下落不明，间接承认自己就是嫌疑犯。。

整部电影以第三者的观点和叙述来描写故事的发展，唯一没有表态的恐怕只有所谓的白雪公主- 死者三木典字

在死者同事不断出来赞美白雪公主的善良和描黑平凡女嫌疑犯的怪异的同时，嫌疑犯大学的好友-出来为他打抱不平

他说美姬是一个单纯的女孩，绝对不会杀人，然而看似讲义气的好友却也暴露了称做S小姐的嫌疑犯本名，可怕的网路平台也刮起地毯似的搜索

美姬的故乡，小学，中学，。。所有他的背景都像是认定他为罪孽深重的犯人般的揭露出来

把美姬的中学糗事当作玩笑来毁谤他，中学暗恋的男学长也不假思索把自己的过失嫁祸给外界定义的嫌疑犯身上

故乡的三姑六婆也出来添油加醋，深怕自己没有份参与这个八卦盛事。。。

只是这场风波没有停止，导演竟然还把美姬的家人，儿时知己也找来间接成他的风光之作

他红了，待遇不同了，但是失踪的美姬呢？

美姬，被同学，老师，同事嘲笑说名字为‘住在城堡里的美人’，但是却只是一个非常不显眼的普通女长大

但是在他成长的过程，他并没有因此自暴自弃，反而坚信一定会有好事发生的

他单纯，善良，天真，只是他的生命中一直有像三木典子这种‘白雪公主’的人出现，因此他一直承受不平等的待遇

不过他并没抱怨，更没想过报复。。。只是在他挫折是慰藉他的S乐团是如有魔力般强大的鼓励，激励着他

而这个唯一的抚慰却也被公主抢走，还要在他面前假惺惺的炫耀，他的欲望让他无法自拔

在有心人的怂恿下，他趁对方熟睡时偷走了那一张本来就是他的音乐会票更，奋力的去见这个像神存在的乐团

只是他的无心过失，他错过了表演之际，也在睁眼的一刻才发现自己成了嫌疑犯，他的隐私都被暴露在所有世界的角落

他的父母也不相信他，他的所谓好友也在子虚乌有。。。中学暗恋的学长中伤他，明明是劈腿的课长信誓坦坦的诬蔑他

他曾经的信念被深深的重击，他无力，无助，不断的反问着为什么，他不敢相信自己被全世界抛弃

就在他为自己套上绳索的时候，电视报道着凶手的真相。。。。

故事看起来已经结束，但是美姬却焦心力碎，此前躺在病床上还气喘吁吁，坚信孙女没有杀人的奶奶此刻离世

美姬回到故乡奔丧，却无法面对不相信他的父母，他感到心寒的时候，远处的灯光在微弱的闪烁着，原来儿时玩伴从未放弃过自己

或许这是唯一故事结束后的欣慰之处吧

其实故事的开始，我就不相信井上真央饰演的美姬会是凶手，不是说不可能，只是不相信

或许我根本也不认为菜菜续的白雪公主会是一个大好人，哈哈，不懂是否他在first class里的恶女太刻骨铭心了

即使如此，真相大白时我还是感到毛骨悚然，因为这么貌美如花的她还是那么容易忌妒，要所有人把她捧的高高在上，虚情假意，矫揉造作

更心寒的是，厌恶她之极的同事们竟然在她死后为他批上好人面具，继续捧花赏阅，这是所谓人之将死，其言也善吗？

然而如此颠倒是非，去诬蔑那个天真，善良的平凡同事的用意在何？网路上的陌生人更是多管闲事的在美姬身上插刀，人云亦云的去嫁祸罪名

最可怕的是自己坚称死党的大学好友，却胡言乱语的把自己的秘密添油加醋到处散播，他的打抱不平和网路上陌生人的言语伤害其实没有差别

落魄，逃避现实的导演，很常利用网路平台发送消息以获得苟同，在他以为幸运女神降临给他一个揭发事件的管道而沾沾自喜时，却不知道自己其实已经被人摆了一道

其实这也是因为他自己的懦弱和无知所造成，所以才相信爆料者的口述，不假思索的去朔造美姬就是嫌疑犯的短片

完全没有去探索真相来源，根本就是中了凶手的圈套，顺着自己的信念去伪造假象，从这看出，他根本就是没有职业道德，更别说上进还是有才了

但是人类就是如此渺小，我们相信别人报道的‘新闻’，认可我们听见的消息，还任意妄为的在网络平台胡乱发言散播我们以为的事实

我们怎么能这么轻易的相信我们所听的，所见的？或许是他们觉得那是别人的事，所以他们可以参与讨论，谴责，批判，断章取义。。

但是说到底，他们根本不认识死者。。。不认识嫌疑犯。。。所以现在才会有那么多网路凌辱的案件

这恰恰也暴露了人类的自私，无知，和自以为是~

这部电影活生生的刻画这社会的现实，人言的可畏，人心的脆弱，人情的造作

现实也正是如此，他剪接的访问短片红了，导演的待遇也水涨船高，成了网路红人，大家拥戴他，高举他

但当真相被揭发后，他的短片被视为垃圾，大家的流言一面倒在批判他的无能

当美姬还是嫌疑犯时，他身边认识他的，外面一大堆不认识他的都纷纷议论他，但是真相大白后，大家就开始推翻自己以前的见解，甚至去批判那个导演

彻底的把责任往外推。。。社会怎么了？

只能说，时间会证明一切。。。。你所见到的，听到的都未必是真的。所以千万不要在还没有看清事实前下定论，除非你能为你所说，所做的负起全责

我想人之间的接触就是如此微妙，很多时候某人做了一些看似怪异，或令我们感到不安的事情时，我们很可能就会觉得对方是个怎样怎样的人

其实这对你我都很不公平，因为我们了解彼此多少，但是只能说人终究是自私的，我们自己的感官，感受永远比体谅他人来得重要，和更有感触

但愿我自己能改善这一点，不要轻易的定义别人。。。。好好的去聆听，而不是去揣测或定论

这部电影其实有一个正面的信息，即使我觉得遇到这样的窘境还能如此真的很不可思议

当导演最终又回到那个潦倒的边界，电视台也必须由于错误报道而谢罪并且谴责导演。。。导演一片空白的去找寻素为谋面的美姬，想像着应该如何道歉

讽刺的是，电影最终美姬竟然对那个伤害他的导演说：一切还是会变好的。。。而且导演不知道站在他面前说出这番话的就是他伤害的美姬。。

在经历这种被世界抛弃的现实后，他依然相信好事还是会发生的。。这种纯真和勇气真的很振奋人心。。。

怎样都好过他真的自杀，或对世界感到彷徨绝望吧。。。生活还是得继续前进啊~

我想可能因为最后美姬的儿时伙伴- 夕子（贯地谷诗穗梨饰演）还是在美姬最失望的时候给了一盏明灯，所以美姬还是对未来，生活保持希望，即使说出那番话的她其实已经很憔悴

庆幸夕子从头到尾都没编造任何事实，也没有对美姬的任何好或不好的表态。。。但是从他问道导演：你觉得大家说的话都是真的吗？和他最后还是记得他和美姬小时候朋友有难的时候要互相给对方闪烁的讯号，就知道他还是最真挚，最关怀美姬的朋友

这也就是所谓的友情吧。。。即使儿时的不愉快时间拉远了彼此的距离，但是他们都没忘记过对方，也在彼此最需要扶持的时候伸出援手

就像久违没有联络的朋友在重遇还是可以感受彼此的关怀，给于对方生存的力量和支持。。。

故事里的白雪公主，从头到尾都光鲜亮丽，即使死时也相当迷人。。。但是他应该算是悲剧人物一个

他沉醉在自己耍的一些小心计，享受看见别人失望无奈的表情，以为自己是个胜利者，但是应该没料到他以为的懦弱者会如此对她吧

我好想知道如果他有一番告白的话会说些什么呢。。。。

其实凶手的真身有让我以外，杀人的动机更是让人不寒而栗。。。但是我想这是死者的逼迫所导致的后果

只是没想到如此微不足道的动机却有那么心机的策划，甚至能够引导他的导演朋友去转移嫌疑犯的方向好让自己不被怀疑

不过道高一尺，魔高一丈。。在关键时刻他被抓到了所以美姬没自杀成功，虽然说没有交代警方如何发现他是凶手这样

也或许是其实警方一直在调查真正的嫌疑犯，只是传媒在报道假的嫌疑犯这样。。。

还是那句，不要轻易下定论~

这么说来这个白雪公主就不是人美心也美了，但是奇怪的是电影一开始大家描述的井上真央真的会有感觉怪异，然后普通的感觉

在电影进行到他自己剖白时因为发现他善良的一面，顿时觉得他整个人亮丽起来了！==

这真的是心理作用还是？不过我想说的是井上真央是一个可爱的美人，但是角色效果（电影一开始给人感觉怪异的性格）会让我觉得她张的普通

但是在电影揭露他是一个天使般的女孩时，她仿佛就变美了~（但是他本来就是美人！）

所以我想内在美还是很重要的，因为菜菜续就真的在他耍心计的片段时让人感到厌恶。。。哇哈哈。。。

意思就是说如果你有一张天生丽质的脸孔就应该感激，更加不要去做一些坏事去糟蹋上帝对你的眷顾

但是没有长腿白肤，亮发靓颜也不要沮丧，因为每个人都与众不同，我们可以靠后天的努力和美丽的内在快乐的生活着

至少我不想做公主，只想好好的做一个我认同的漂亮自己~ =）

Finally I have paid my visit to this place - Jibby & Co.

You would be blown off by the endless long queue lining up outside the restaurant!

We waited for nearly 15mins to get out seat, just because there were 5 of us, and it is harder to get a big table.

But, it is lucky that there were 5 of us, because we got to see at the sofa area right beside the French window, facing the road side.

Thanks to Mr. Yap, that's why we have this opportunity to have something pricy this weekend.

I have heard of this place for many times, and always wish to come here.

Different from when I was in NZ, it is really hard for me to explore new cuisine or awesome food now in Malaysia due to inacessibility of different location.

While public transport is nt very safe in this land, it is very important to own a car.

However, I am not working for my car allowance yet, perhaps soon I would.

Unless I have a very reasonable excuses, or else it would be difficult to 'borrrow' mum's car during weekend.

Therefore, gathering become a great chances for my food hunting =D

So I have ordered a soft shell crab burger for my lunch, which was recommended by my ex-colleague.

To be honest, I had a similar but better burger in Melbourne, you can see here.

This soft shell crab is not crispy enough, and the bun turns soggy very soon, perhaps also because I didnt finish it sooner.

But thumbs up for the kumara (or sweet potato) fries, they are crispy and sweet, it would be better if they serve more. =P

My frens ordered other meals include egg benedict (but they named chic breakkie = =),

Jibby big breakfast which I want to order initially, but I changed my mind as it is too common and I would love to try out something new.

Bean couldnt finish this and I helped out in the end, ermmm...taste was just usual, nothing special. The scrambled egg is slightly too soft, and mushroom was quite salty. And I prefered the "real' bacon. You know what I mean.

Our birthday boy ordered the ultimate aussie burger, which took more than 20mins to be served.

Perhaps their mains were just alright, or we have ordered the wrong food, but they did serve amazing dessert.

A little pricy for a small slide of cakes, RM16.50 each. However, the indulgence is priceless.

I wish to try out others if I have chances to come again.

Our dessert attempts havent stopped yet, because we saw Tous Les Jours right opposite us.

Bean said her colleagues highly recommended this Korean bakery house, which is a franchise from Korea and opened in Malaysia now.

I couldnt deny it is indeed a very comfortable and modern cafe to spare during a lazy weekend.

Their dessert caught our eyes without a second, and we decided to have more sweet stuffs.

The quote: Don't judge a book by its cover could be applied for these dessert.

They are very appealing, but they are so sweet that I couldnt taste the bitterness in the tiramisu, and the flavor is not rounded. =(

Macarons on top of the cheese cake and tiramisu are a little too sweet and sticky....

I guess perhaps they are more expertise in bun and toast then.

However, the lime mojito was lovely =)

Alright, I have a good weekend, not mentioned that I have spent so much this week.

P/s: I also have bought 3 pairs of flats just in this week!

 A confession from a foodie who never learnt on maintaining the ideal body shape, just because food meant too much for her. Hehe.

Taiwanese dessert from Snow Flakes...nice to view, but taste was just so so...

Vietnamese meal, finally found one at the closest place - O'Viet, Sunway Pyramid.

I have craved for Vietnamese meal for such a long time, happily found one though the place is still incomparable with my favourite one which is far at the south of earth.

Komugi, my favourite bakery in Malaysia so far, and all my colleague knew how I obsessed with their pricy masterpieces.

The half baked cheese cake hunted me every single time!! I am still on my way to try out every types of their bakeries. =)

A rice burger with salmon from Sushi King. Well, taste was alright as expected.

Another meal from Sushi King - Grand Tempura and Yaki Sakana set meal.

Dad still dont understand why I love "aweful" stuff like grilled mackerel, because he think it is way too fishy.

My dear papa, dont you know the fishy taste is the best?! lol. OK, treat me as the weirdest kid ever =)

P/S: Sushi king is only great when it comes to price =P

sushi from Pasta Zanmai, taste was just normal which I dont understand why people are over-whelming about this pricy and normal-sushi place.

But I love the varieties they offered as a cuisine.

I remember this Saturday escape, to run for a proper lunch from work during weekend.

Moreover, I am happily to order pricy meal especially when my boss would love to pay the bill.

Why not? But coffee chemistry food actually was just ok, and very pricy when come to drink.

RM15 for a green tea frappe, seriously?

Longan, one of my favourite fruit. I actually have just finished 3kg of them with my dad during the past weekend!

Similar as Japanese meal, Thai food are ways too expensive in Malaysia, especially clueless when Malaysia is just right bottom of Thailand!

Dad love japanese meal nowadays, we have constantly having Japanese meal every weekend since this year. =)

DIm sum, I dont mind once in a while.

No one can get rid of this except some group of people...! My long time favourite - bak kut teh!!!

How can you claim yrself a Klangnites if you not eating this!

Cafes are opened everywhere now, the coffee culcure have endured into Malaysia's every corner.

Sorry that I am not a coffee addict, but I dont mind having high tea with my frens =)

I hope I get more of these! A japanese gift brought from our Japanese supplier, awesome!!

Everyone can get healthy, you just need some vege and a cool Japanese sesame sauce!

Japanese curry, I dont mind eating once in a wee while...another confession of an eater.

Lastly, a snapshot from one of our gathering in June, it's been a while since then.

Next gathering is awaiting....
