CHAPTER 15 – THE HUCKLEBERRY CAFE
Jun 29th
“Stressed is Desserts spelled backwards.”
Well then what’s better than lying back on a comfortable white couch with colorful pillows around while reading your favorite book by your adored author in a cosy and quiet spot?
And most importantly with a table full of desserts as your company and a cuppa hot latte for you to sip routinely. Now you can’t do that in a library can you? 
I found just the perfect place!
The Huckleberry.
Located right in the middle of the flipping pages for all ages – Times Bookstore, Bangsar Shopping Centre.
Yup! Never enough. *grins*
The cosy surroundings.
You can either choose to become a couch potato or sit up straight gracefully at the dining table.
The delectable attraction!
Huckleberry’s business card.
Varieties of colorful dessert for you to choose.
The bunting that says it all.
Cute boxes for you to take away the desserts.
Empty glasses waiting to be filled with caffeinated beverages.
I would certainly love to have a coffee maker like this in my room.
Can’t wait to order as much as I can.
Bickford’s Old Style Sodas!
Comes in different flavors.
Lemon Lime seems refreshing!
Which one would you prefer?

Forget love. I would rather fall in this!
“A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand”.
What more I have three monster ones? *grins*
Whooppie Pie RM5
Colourful Maccaroons
RM2.50
They look like giant candies, don’t they?
And a cup of hot Cappuccino to end my little dessert buffet.

Ahh..I’m sucha fan of the Twilight saga.

CHAPTER 14 – SKYY VODKA & SEX AND THE CITY 2
Jun 27th
Following the announcement of the exciting deal at Milan and San Francisco in mid-Feb, the partnership between SKYY Vodka and the second edition of the Sex and the City film reached another city.
The fans of the much anticipated movie in Malaysia also joined in celebration during the launch of the limited edition of SKYY Vodka at the swanky Sultan Lounge in Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on May 26.

Bumped into Mervin at the launch party.
The celebrated fashion icon and Sex and the City 2 costume designer Patricia Field is the key figure in heightening the appeal for the brand’s international campaigns.
Besides serving as the spokesperson, she has been offering her designing talents to elevate the elements linked with the film directed by Michael Patrick King with the familiar foursome cast of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.
In the first ever cobalt blue SKYY bottle’s iconic change, Field added the movie theme design on the limited-edition of SKYY Vodka Sex and the City 2 bottle.
Field said: “Most stylish moments of Sex and the City were about the ladies dressed up bonding over fun cocktails out in Manhattan. SKYY Vodka has always been a brand with style. So, I was thrilled to create something special that celebrates those special ‘cocktail couture’ moments that truly are the essence of SKYY and Sex and the City.”
Encouraged by the success of the partnership in the first film, SKYY Vodka has extended the alliance with Warner Bros. Entertainment to continue their effort in defining the sophisticated cocktail culture around the globe including the promotional initiatives to showcase the cocktail couture.
The four new seductive concoctions inspired by the movie for the fairer sex are Glamour Girl, Blonde Ambition, Park Avenue Princess and Red Over Heels while Mr. Manhattan is the single masculine mixture.
SKYY Vodka Signature Cocktails inspired by Sex and the City 2
Which one are you?
Glamour Girl Carrie
A classic cocktail with a sweet and colorful twist, the Glamour Gal is a girl’s best friend. Always uniquely dressed for the occasion and decked out from head to toe, she makes an entrance like only a true New York fashion maven can.
Busy Beauty Miranda
With a set of killer stilettos and a busy schedule ahead, you are ready to take on any challenge in life and love. The best thing is you’ll never be too busy to look beautiful. Showcasing a blend of grapes and lemon, garnished with Basil leaves, Busy Beauty will leave you head over heels and litigating for more.
Mr.New York Mr.Big
At the center of a love/hate relationship that’s impossible to resist, no man makes or breaks a woman’s SKYYline like the always-dapper Mr. New York. A not-so-classic elixir that keeps our girl on her toes, this drink is big enough to handle any black tie affair.
Fabulous Flirt Samantha
Fabulous Flirt is dripping with an unparalleled allure so bold and sexy, you’ll refuse to settle for anything less. With an untouchable blend of sensuous orange and raspberries, just one sip will stay you all night long.
Pretty Princess Charlotte
Strutting her way down Fifth and Madison, a classically styled Pretty Princess is easy to love and impossible to ignore. Bubbly with just a hint of the dramatic, this drink is refreshing, with a dash of the bold and unexpected matched only by its lovely Sex and the City™ inspiration.
What is more?
Although the movie will only appear in the local cinemas in Malaysia on June 17, Albert Wines assistant brand manager Winnie Tan said they are hosting a special preview for their consumers purchasing the new limited edition bottle at the GSC Pavilion Kuala Lumpur on June 15, in which I got invited too!
“We are not only inviting them to join us for a special occasion and be among the early viewers to watch the movie here. A lucky winner will also be going home with the grand prize of a trip for two including air tickets and accommodation to New York,” she added.

Jun 17th
Ever wonder what to eat in Sunway Giza?
Ya. The new “TTDI-Plaza-look-alike” that is located in Kota Damansara.
Well there I was.
Doing a food review on this interesting kitchen and bistro named “Cravings”.
The menu that introduces many special dishes!
Loving the spiral stairs that leads you to the second floor of the restaurant where you can chill and relax with your friends on the comfortable sofas or by the bar.
A private corner for gatherings.
Cocktail anyone?
My hot cup of latte with a sweet heart on it.
*slurps* hmm…How I wish I can have this every single morning.
Banana Wilberry Tea @RM10.90
Banana beverage sounded really weird at first, but when I first took a sip, it was good.
Really good.
Lime Passion Fruit Tea @RM10.90
Cool and refreshing.
Frappe Mocha @RM11.90
What more can I say when I’m such a big fan of the whipped cream on top.
*winks*
Cappuccino @ RM8.90
With the amount of milk like that, it’s undeniably smooth and creamy.
*grins*
Lookin’ at my table settings made me go all excited on what I’m going to have for dinner.
Chicken Soup with Herbs (RM6.90)
My all time favorite broccoli.
Really good for health, ya know?
Sichuan Noodle with Crysanthemum (RM 9.90)
Sichuan never taste bad, do they? 
Kongguksu (Korean Noodle in Soy) (RM12.90)
Well this is seriously one helluva unique dish.
Soya bean based soup.
Glass noodles.
Dried white fungus.
Apple slices.
Served cold.
You might not be used to the exotic taste but this is indeed a healthy dish, and definitely worth trying!
5 different special sauces that were served – Sambal petai, Kimchi, Coleslaw, Baked beans and black pepper sauce.
Halloween Dinner @RM23.90
With its delicate flavor and rich aroma of the pumpkin that adds a touch of indulgence, it was such a delicious dish of fragrant fried rice that I will certainly go back for more!
Cravings 12-inch Monster Burger @ RM25.90.
Just look at how tall it is!
With it’s undeniably reasonable price and the monster size, I’ve no idea why it is not worth a try especially when you are having a dinner date with your significant other where both of you can lovingly share the burger.
Stuffed grilled Chicken with Sausage and Ham.
Ya. Which is quite similar to a plate of Chicken Cordon Bleu.
Delhi Fried Rice (RM 23.90)
Oh the irresistible big prawn!
Grilled Lamb with Black Pepper Sauce (RM 34.90)
Fish and Wedges with a squeze of lemon and Tartar sauce.
Well it might not look good on the outside.
BUT…
I must say that the fresh Dory fish underneath the fried breaded skin is surprisingly juicy and very much tasty!
Grilled Steak with Hot Chili Salsa (RM 34.90)
Meet the friendly and passionate Chef Calvin himself .
I was given a cute tiny little ”Cravings” badge.
Guess I’m now a certified fan eh? *smiles*
Last but not least…
I’ve vouchers up to 50% discount to be given out especially to you food lovers!
Do let me know if you plan to give it a try at Cravings alright?
No terms and conditions applied. *winks*
Always yours truly, Esty.

CHAPTER 12 – TOY STORY 3 MEDIA SCREENING, IN 3D.
Jun 15th
Was invited by a dear friend from Advertlets to join them in a media screening for Toy Story 3 on 11th of June, 2010.
Exactly a week earlier before the movie is up on cinemas!
I was even more excited when he told me that we are going to meet Woody and Buzz in person before the movie.
Woody and Buzz? Really??
Eah.
Really.
So, we were at the centre court of Mid Valley one hour before the movie, where the launching of Toy Story 3 held.
And of course, the meet and greet with the 2 superstars!
The CEO of Disney Malaysia proudly presenting the latest Toy Story.
The launching ceremony with Woody and Buzz! Oh how I wish I was up there too.
Well at least there was a group picture with the charming Woody and the macho Buzz. Spot me!
With Wai Yan the cutie pie.
The girls and Josh, the founder of Advertlets.
The adorable ticket for the media screening which I’m so gonna keep in my scrapbook. *grins*
And then, the MOVIE time!
Toy Story 3 was absolutely fantastic!!
Even better than the latest Shrek I must say.
With uncontrollable laughter and undoubtedly tears shedding moments, what more can you ask for in a good movie like this?
And oh OH! These three little peas were super duper cute in the movie you’re gonna go “Awww…” when you see them.
I brought my babygirl, Shantee along and we had a great time. Especially when this was her first time watching a 3D movie. *giggles*
P/s : I’m never gonna throw my toys away.
P/p/s : Yes. I’m already 25 and I still have my toys with me.
P/p/p/s : All of them.
