It's fun people try it!<BR><BR><STRONG>Your view on yourself:</STRONG><BR>You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. <BR><BR><STRONG>The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:</STRONG><BR>You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. <BR><BR><STRONG>Your readiness to commit to a relationship:</STRONG><BR>You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person. <BR><BR><STRONG>The seriousness of your love:</STRONG><BR>You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love. <BR><BR><STRONG>Your views on education:</STRONG><BR>You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job. <BR><BR><STRONG>The right job for you:</STRONG><BR>You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success. <BR><BR><STRONG>How do you view success:</STRONG><BR>You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying. <BR><BR><STRONG>What are you most afraid of:</STRONG><BR>You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel. <BR><BR><STRONG>Who is your true self:</STRONG><BR>You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.<BR><BR>Try it @ <A href="http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx">http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx</A> <BR><BR><!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>MatRockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17797879296337703453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913550.post-86269485308848403672008-03-03T08:02:00.000+08:002008-03-03T13:02:49.271+08:00The Guy RULES @ No.1 to No.1<STRONG>The Guys' Rules</STRONG><BR>At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down. Finally, the guys' side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good). We always hear "the rules" from the female point of view... Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! <BR><BR><STRONG><FONT color="#ff0000">Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!</FONT></STRONG> <BR><BR>1. Men ARE NOT mind readers. <BR><BR>1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. <BR><BR>1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be. <BR><BR>1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way. <BR><BR>1. Crying is blackmail. <BR><BR>1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! <BR><BR>1. Yes and No are perfectly Acceptable answers to almost every question. <BR><BR>1. Come to us with a problem only If you want help solving it. That's what we do. <BR>Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for. <BR><BR>1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor. <BR><BR>1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days. <BR><BR>1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys. <BR><BR>1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. <BR><BR>1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. <BR><BR>1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. <BR>If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. <BR><BR>1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials. <BR><BR>1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we. <BR><BR>1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. <BR><BR>1. If it itches, it will Be scratched. We do that. <BR><BR>1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. <BR><BR>1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear. <BR><BR>1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear Is fine...Really. <BR><BR>1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf. <BR><BR>1. You have enough clothes. <BR><BR>1. You have too many shoes. <BR><BR>1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape! <BR><BR>1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; <BR><BR>But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping! <BR><BR><STRONG>Pass this to as many men as you can - to give them a laugh. <BR>Pass this to as many women as you can - to give them a bigger laugh</STRONG><BR><BR><!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>MatRockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17797879296337703453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913550.post-81952344823430437542008-02-25T13:29:00.000+08:002008-02-25T18:29:48.272+08:00Singapore Buzz! : IMRAN AJMAIN'S DSX : Live Band Showcase<CENTER><IMG src="http://www.izone.sg/images/0208/imrandsx-top.jpg" alt="Imran Ajmain's DSX Live Band Showcase"></CENTER> <P><STRONG><FONT color="#ffa500" size="3">IMRAN AJMAIN'S DSX : Live Band Showcase</FONT></STRONG><BR> <STRONG>DSX is a 90 minute concert</STRONG>, Imran's officially 2nd showcase, with more than 20 numbers that Imran will be performing.</P> <P><STRONG>He will be backed by musicians handpicked from different popular local bands.</STRONG> He will be singing his originals, and covers chosen by his fans and visitors to his personal blog.

A place not for the "weak of the nose", meaning who can't 'tahan' the smell of fishes, this is not the place for you! As for me, I have an immune system that's good enough to block them. <BR><STRONG><BR>I was one of the "fit" ones for the job to run around the fish market chasing the 'speeding chefs' as they looked for their fishes!</STRONG> It was an experienced that can never be replaced untill I visit that place again with the same tasks (hehe!)<BR> <STRONG><BR>The chefs were really comfortable during this challenge, they were behaving naturally towards the smells or wet conditions, maybe they had faced this situation lots of time during their career.</STRONG> As for the hosting task that they did, I'm proud of them because hosting is not an easy task and they were brave to do it in a bustling place, unscripted and also do it with much confidence in just <STRONG>ONE</STRONG> take! <STRONG>Kudos to all of them!</STRONG> <BR><STRONG><BR>In this episode, we saw Chef Andri and Chef Firdauz were sent packing home.</STRONG> I think for Andri he was given the boot due to his weakness to excel in hosting and maybe he's focus is not 100% in the competition. As for Firdauz, he was too comfortable which is true because he had forgottent that and his jokes were mostly the kind that "friends to friends" would do but to do that to someone you don't know he/she might not be able to accept his jokes. So he was eliminated :) <BLOCKQUOTE><STRONG>Next week, episode 7, who will get the call back?</STRONG> Who are the "Wildcards" chefs?

This will be my most memorable episode, simply because I won the challenge.</STRONG> Its an honour for me to have my dish in the menu of BOX BISTRO (Courts Megastore) for a month! <BLOCKQUOTE>Hosting was still a major problem and I was easily distracted with the surroundings easily and to host sitting down is actually very different than to host standing up... Really!</BLOCKQUOTE><STRONG>The ghost encounters and happenings didn't really bother me and Chef Alfie that much</STRONG> as I think the ghost must be thinking we were their friends (LOL!), but it became an everyday topic and conversation in the penthouse. <BR><STRONG><BR>Mummy asmah was the guest judge and yes, I felt intimidated by her.</STRONG> Here is a powerful woman with 5 books (if i'm not wrong) under her name and having her own cooking show (Dapur Mami)... Old timer beb!!! She's truly a nice and warm lady with all the good and kind words for us... Thanks Mami! <BR><STRONG><BR>We had a radio interview today on Warna 94.2FM yesterday and it's the first time for all of us and I actually love it!</STRONG> If i have a good voice and command in Malay.

It was a western theme dish and most of them are from western restaurants. Therefor, they were all given a chance the go ahead to the next round of this competition. <BR> <STRONG><BR>Regarding the ghost stories that was happening in the pent house, I would say all of it were genuine cases and not made up although I myself did not encounter "it" during my stay there.</STRONG> Most of the activities occured on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the pent house and me, my PA's and producers we in the 1st floor, so we were not in the "cold zone" :) <BR> <STRONG><BR>The worst hit was ofcourse Fadhilad our host.</STRONG> The chefs were also affected by "it" but at the end of the day, we all decide not to think too much about the whole situation and ignore any weird happening or just let it be :) <BLOCKQUOTE><STRONG>Next week in episode 6!</STRONG> We will have an interesting task for the chefs which involves them waking up in the <STRONG>wee hours of the night!</STRONG> Also, they were given another self-confidence task which was to <STRONG>perform a dance routine!</STRONG> So, don't miss it!</BLOCKQUOTE><HR><STRONG>Behind the scene photos and videos of Episode 5 will be uploaded soon!

Yes & No...</STRONG> <STRONG>How do I feel?? Surprised? Disappointed? Relieved? Happy? Well, all of the above. </STRONG> <STRONG>How long do you think I will last?? The odds are against me...</STRONG> I was surprised cos I thought I was doing OK, I did not cock-up anything badly.. Yes my performances were not perfect and I guess OK is not good enough. <BLOCKQUOTE>"Ada yang kurang ", kata BJ... Erm ape yang kurangnye?? Pertuturan tidak jelas? Tiada X-factor? Kurang menghiburkan?? I think thats the reasons.</BLOCKQUOTE> <STRONG>I was mainly disappointed not becos of missing the chance of winning $10k (which will really came in handy next year!) or the holiday/spa prizes (which I badly need!)</STRONG>.. But disappointed that I don't get the chance to fight it out with the guys again!! <STRONG>I can't challenge myself anymore! I can't host & cook infront of the camera anymore!! I love the challenges! They gave me a certain high & excitement that I always crave for..</STRONG> Its like performing tarian or drama on stage..I love all that!<a name='more'></a> <IMG align="left" src="http://www.izone.sg/images/1107/theexperience-chefharyani-side2.jpg" alt="Chef Haryani" vspace="5" hspace="5"><STRONG>My hosting segment at Geylang was quite disappointing..Why? Fyi I was unwell that day.</STRONG> Sakit puan... It was my first menses after childbirth and I was bleeding non-stop for the last few weeks already! Somehow that day, the bleeding was quite excessive. So this is not normal. I was kinda worried.. Actually the producers intended for me to see my gynae after the shoot at Geylang (& they wanna shoot all that!) but shooting ended late & Dr. Aziz had to rush to the hospital.. So for me, it was mind over matter. I literally brush all the pain & discomfort away. <STRONG>The next day was the cooking challenge & I was glad that the main ingredient was rice. I can't stand when I hear people say, " Oh I should cut down on rice, its fattening."</STRONG> So I always advise them otherwise, like I tried to explain on the show. I know I talked to fast, but I just can't help it. <STRONG>People who knew me have gotten use to my train-talking already!!</STRONG> I talked fast when I'm pressured, stressed or when I'm rushing for time & thats the exact situations during the cooking challenges! <STRONG>I felt relieved that its finally over.. I was away for 1 week already..</STRONG>The competition was really tiring & stressful... And of cos I missed Marsya badly. I cried almost every night looking at her pictures.. When the camera caught me crying, I was at my weakest moment. Its like I was crying to the camera.. I always find relief when I share my emotions with family/friends.. And this time, I was sharing it with the camera. I just wanna let go.. I missed Marsya horribly.. <STRONG>The next morning when I reached home, my body finally gave up on me.</STRONG> I was bleeding even more! When the burden of the competition is off, my mind zoomed in on my body..My mind can't ignore it anymore like when I was at the penthouse. I felt so weak!! I waited for hubby to come home & we immediately fetched Marsya from my in-laws.. Was I HAPPY to see her!! <STRONG>Unbelievable that my baby is finally in my arms! </STRONG> After that we rushed to Dr. Aziz's clinic. He scanned me & luckily there's no abnormal growth or anything like that.. That can cause excessive bleeding actually.. I guess my system/hormones is still unstable, coupled this with the stress & pressure that I was feeling during the competition. But Alhamdulliah, after some rest (mentally & physically), the bleeding finally subsided the next day.. <STRONG>Yes I was stressed by the competition...Yes I'm OUT but I had no regrets. </STRONG> <BLOCKQUOTE>I'm glad I pushed myself. I'm proud of myself for being brave and I know I put my 100% effort during the competition. <STRONG>Never once I wanna give up my place or say that I wanna go home no matter who tough it gets..</STRONG> I'm grateful for the friendship forged with the guys.. I'm grateful to be given this experience & to discover yet another aspect of myself. The memories of this competition will stay with me forever.</BLOCKQUOTE> <STRONG>Thank you to all the 11 wonderful guys who made my stay much more pleasant & fun..</STRONG> You guys rock!!

So you can imagine life with no handphones which is a neccessity in our lifes today. <BR> <STRONG><BR>On the 1st day of shoot for episode 4, we had to move out very early to Banquet IOI Plaza to avoid the lunchtime crowd.</STRONG> Arriving on set, they had a mini task which is to make 'lamian' or hand made noodles. Most of them struggled to do it because it looks easy but it's actually tough to master. Chef Mustaqim won because he did an almost perfect piece in this challenge. <BR> <STRONG><BR>Then after having luch at Banquet, we move on to the hosting challenge which is at Geylang Serai Market.</STRONG> A good place to conquer any fears in hosting since there are lots of Malay people there. As usual, each of them had to memorise a script, they did all that in the waiting area. One by one were brought to the location and they performed their task. Another suprise hosting challenge was they had to do interviews with the patron in that market.<BR> <STRONG><BR>During this challenge I realised... that they were totally focused and had thrown out any fear in them to approach these people to be interviewed which was a vast improvement since the day they stepped into the pent house.</STRONG> Except for Sufiyan who still declared to me he's still afraid of the camera :) Well Sufiyan, you have to conquer it to be a Chef Selebriti, bro :grin: <BLOCKQUOTE>Next week in episode 5, we shall see how our chefs cook western dishes (most of them are expert in this) but doing it in the middle of Courts Megastore (their audition memories came streaming back). <STRONG>Who will be eliminated next??? Don't miss it!</STRONG></BLOCKQUOTE><STRONG>You can send your comments and feedbacks for the show @ <A target="_blank" href="http://www.suria.sg/chefselebriti/forum.htm">Chef Selebriti Forum</A>!

The Stadium Is Still Here?<P><CENTER><IMG src="http://www.izone.sg/images/1107/stadium-top.jpg" title="Stadium is still here!!!"></CENTER> <P>When my friend Ash asked me out last friday, to catch the 2010 World Cup Asian Qualification Round 2 game against Tajikistan I was excited mainly because it's a big game for the Lions. <STRONG>So I told him, I'll meet him 6.30pm at Lavender MRT and he told me it's at Kallang, the National Stadium and I was... "WHAT!!??? Kallang? Stadium kan dah roboh!? (Stadium had been demolished right?)" and he said, "No lah! It's still there lah bro!".</STRONG></P> <P>Then I remembered thousands came to watch the finals of Asean Cup and all of us thought it was the last time we'll be standing in that stadium. All buzy snapping pictures and also shedding tears. So I was alittle shocked to know that the National Stadium is still standing and I'm going there again to watch the Lions play!</P> <BLOCKQUOTE><P>While we were walking towards the stadium on the overheard bridge, my friend Elvis said, "Man, I thought it's gone too! It's like seeing a ghost now as we're walking towards it!" We all had a good laugh because of that. </P> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P><a name='more'></a></P> <P><CENTER><IMG src="http://www.izone.sg/images/1107/stadium-01.jpg" title="Singapore 2 Tajikistan 0"></CENTER> <P>As most of you had read in the papers the score ended 2-0 to Singapore for the 1st leg in this round. <STRONG>I wish Singapore to continue thier winning run as long as possible.</STRONG> The crowd that came were not the same as before, just a few thousand on the night, I think most of us were unaware of this game or maybe thought that the stadium was gone too! (hehe!)</P> <P><CENTER><IMG src="http://www.izone.sg/images/1107/stadium-02.jpg" title="The Stadium in my point of view!"></CENTER> <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>MatRockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17797879296337703453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913550.post-73782914668622824632007-11-06T12:43:00.000+08:002007-11-06T17:43:36.203+08:00Sharing The Experience : Chef Haryani<CENTER><IMG alt="Sharing The Experience : Chef Haryani" src="http://www.izone.sg/images/1007/theexperience-chefharyani.jpg"><BR><BR></CENTER><STRONG>So I'm still IN...</STRONG> I think I did better for this episode as compared to last week's. <BR> <STRONG><BR>Of course the Chef Idol segment was the highlight! Haha betul tak Andri?? We were asked to choose a song from the 70s.</STRONG> As we were the only "Romeo & Juliet" duo among the group, we chose a 70s Malay duet song from Hail Amir & Uji Rashid. My favourite! Absolute classic.. My partner can definitely carry a tune! We definitely had fun & worked well together. Too bad they did not show our whole song segment.. banyak drama you!! I've always enjoyed singing & performing. But I will never enter those singing competition.. I will only do so if my voice is as power as Siti's or Dayang's! <BLOCKQUOTE>As for the cooking challenge, I think I'm the only contestant who did a soup dish. I LOVE SOUPS! Its my comfort food! I've always added prawns to my soup, so when I saw prawns, the recipe instantly came to my mind.</BLOCKQUOTE><STRONG>Of course I would add vegetables to my soup. That was what I was trying to say that eating soup is more nutritious.</STRONG> Water-soluble vitamins will leak into the soup, as vitamins in veges are mostly destroyed during cooking, we could retain as much vitamins as possible when we drink the soup. But somehow I think my point did not really came across.. My tongue somehow gets a bit twisted when I tried to translate all these info in Malay!! Lucky my garlic & blood pressure topic menjadi... <BR> <STRONG><BR>But I still I talked to fast but I cooked fast too! I finished cooking in 12 minutes!</STRONG> So just nice, I had another 3 minutes to garnish my soup in the capsicum bowl. This time round, my dish tasted good, as commented by the judges. In fact, they loved it! I felt a sense of relief. Ultimately, I think you must really enjoy what you're doing, and I was indeed really enjoying myself during the cooking challenge! <BR> <STRONG><BR>What pushes or helped me to focus was the fact I had to prove myself to everyone.</STRONG> I think some people expected me to get eliminated after the 1st set of challenges. But I realised that I have this tough competitive streak! Being the only woman actually puts more pressure on me. Some people may think that "Oh they put a woman there to make it more interesting only". <BR> <STRONG><BR>Well that may be true and this is for TV anyway...</STRONG> But for myself, I will not let all these theories distract me. I know what is my main purpose of doing this. Its really a sense of individual achievement, no matter if I win or not. <BLOCKQUOTE><STRONG>Do leave some comments for us to share ok... And continue watching Chef Selebriti as the competition gets tougher!! Both emotionally & mentally! Stay tuned to find out more!</STRONG></BLOCKQUOTE><HR><STRONG>More on Chef Haryani:</STRONG> <A href="http://www.izone.sg/chefselebriti/thechefs/chefharyani/">Chef Haryani</A> <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>MatRockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17797879296337703453noreply@blogger.com0
