Travel: Off to Malaysia

I was planning to go to the states again this summer, but unfortunately my plans had to change cuz it simply didn’t work out. fortunately, my and my friends came up with a backup plan and this plan was Malaysia.

 Traveling to east Asia was never in my plans, simply because I knew there were many other places that I would rather visit, so I never really looked into it that much except of what people used to tell me about it. 90% of why we chose Malaysia was because for visa issues and availability, but after searching through it and planning everything, now im sure 90% of this plan is something I want, need and looking forward to.

I’m gonna be gone for 10 days, where I will be visiting Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi and spending 2 nights in Genting. I have no expectations except for what I have read and saw in pictures, but I would love it if you have any recommendations for me, whether for food, places to visit and things to buy.

As some of you already know that I do have a thing for airplanes and crashes. It’s a thing I have developed over the years, but it never really stopped me from flying anywhere I wanted. It’s just that recently more than 4 plane crashed somewhere or got missing, and non of them makes sense to me, which is kinda scary and makes me not look forward to it. I will be traveling on the Srilankan airlines, so fingers crossed.

Guess Who’s Back?!

 

Its been almost 2 and a half years (if I’m not mistaken) when Cheeky moved to Dubai and settled there where she continued her career. Things havent been very nice since then, cuz she would be visiting once every 3 months for 3-5 days and we barely get to see her. But this all is about to change cuz SHES COMING BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKKKK :D

YES! I’m very excited to have her back in Kuwait, back on the blog, and back where she belongs :D I’m sure she will tell you how she feels about it when she does, untill then, lets partaaaaaaaaaayyy :D

TV: Scandal

 

I have been surprising myself lately of the change of taste when it comes to TV shows. I mean, I never thought I would ever wanna watch the 8 seasons of Desperate Housewives, or get into the cheesy drama of Sex & the City, or even be attached to the non existing, in your dreams kind of characters of Greys Anatomy, but guess what, I did, and now im doing it again with Scandal.

The only difference about Scandal is that…it IS different. The show is very well written, the amount of vocabulary they use is unbelievable, and the way the connect the characters can be over whelming.

To me this wasnt in my agenda since I know it had to do a lot with politics, and I don’t like that, not one bit. But after I started watching it, I realized how im interested I am in conspiracies and how I started connecting the dots myself and turns out to be right most of the times!

I just started watching season 3 and its going well, however I do sense some repetitiveness and unrealistic connections, but lets see how it goes. I hope this season has a WOW ending. Here’s the trailer incase you havent seen it before:

Trailer: 50 Shades of Grey

Well…its no surprise everyone will be talking about this till Valentine’s day since everyone was so crazy about the books. I honestly read the first one, half of the second and then lost interest. Watching movies is always more interesting to me, so I will be looking forward this one.

I can’t say I’m happy with the cast, I donno I just don’t see them as the right people for the characters, but I guess will have to wait and see.

What are your thoughts?

TV: Grey’s Anatomy

 

Yep I said it, I’m becoming one of those people, or should I say .. one of those girls? doesn’t matter, what matters is that im like everyone else at the moment, and I finally know what Grey’s Anatomy is all about.

2 years ago probably I was so against many drama series that were aired, simply because I used to consider it a waste of time, too much drama, and not really my interest. It all started with me watching Desperate Housewives, then moving on to Sex and the City, and now this! I just had to! Its like everyone knows whats happening except me, and I just don’t wanna be the elephant in the room, so I started watching it :P

I would be lying if I said that I fell in love with it, because I didn’t! The show can be boring sometimes, repetitive, and pain in the ass. nevertheless, it’s a good waste of time! I really enjoy watching it in the morning on weekends, or before I go to bed at night. All im saying is that it’s not bad.

So far I have reached season 7, and people been ruining a lot of the events for me, so im trying to watch it as fast as possible to catch up with everyone else. I gotta say that I hated the fact that Izzy no longer on the show, that George died, and that Owen exists!

oh well, whose your favourite?

Music: The Love for Techno

I have been always a fan of techno (mostly dj Tiesto, armin, etc) and since my last visit to Dubai and attending Creamfields in Abu Dhabi, it feels like I fell in love again with this kind of music. What also affects me is that I love driving and speeding, and I definitely enjoy the ride more with some really good music.

So I thought of making this post for 2 reasons, first, to share with you the hot and latest techno music that im in love with at the moment, and that you can do the same with me! ill include a couple and list down the rest, please feel free to share as much as possible!

Enjoy :)

Calvin Harris – Feel So Close

Demi Lovato – Neon Lights

Get Loose – Shawtek (Tiesto Remix)

Spectrum – Florence

Review: Applebee’s New Menu

Applebee’s has introduced us to their new menu which is full of some really delicious food and some healthy options. Me (Kuwait) and Cheeky (Dubai) passed by Applebee’s to check it out.

Starting off with the Applebee’s Sampler (you must have appetizers at Applebee’s, it’s just a must!), our choices were on the Boneless Chicken, Twisted Pretzels, Mozzarella Sticks, and the Spinach and Artichoke Dip. It’s a great dish for sharing, and I would have the artichoke dip over and over again, just watch out when its hot!

For the salad, we had our choice of California Shrimp Salad, its good, but i would order it with less sauce next time.

Next, we digged into some serious business, which was the Ribeye Steak with mushroom sauce, mashed potato and steamed veggies. I must warn you, this was a delicious and a heavy dish, if you weren’t that hungry, you wont be able to enjoy it as much! The steak was cooked perfectly, however, I would try something with less fat next time.

As for the second dish, it was the Cheeseburger Sliders. They were good, some extras are recommended.

Overall, our experience was great, it’s always good to go back and have some comfort food with all these busy days with work and

stuff. Too bad we couldn’t have desert after all of this, but our love will always be for the Maple Butter Blondie…HEAVEN!

Thank you Applebee’s for having us!

happy love day?

It’s ironic that there would be a rash of breakups on the most romantic day of the year. My theory is that women dump their boyfriends when he drops the ball on Valentine’s Day. Perhaps he didn’t get a good gift, or he completely forgot about the holiday. Read more here
