My Favourite Song

"Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill)"
(feat. Akon, Lil Wayne, Niia)

[Intro:]
[Niia]
ah ah ah ah

[Wyclef Jean (Lil Wayne)]
Some live for the bill
Some kill for the bill
She whine for the bill
Grind for the bill
(and she used to be the sweetest girl)
Some steal for the bill, if they got to pay they bill
(and she used to be the sweetest girl)
Tonight Wyclef, Akon, Weezy on the bill

[Verse 1: (Wyclef Jean)]
High school she was that girl that make me do the hula hoop around the gym
(Just to get a peek again, she's a 10)
High school she was
That girl that make me do the hula hoop around the gym
(Just to get a peek again, she's a 10)
Never thought that she would come and work for the president
Mr. George Washington (where my money at?)
She thought he'd call (where my money at?)
She had a good day, bad day, sunny day, rainy day
All he wanna know is is (where my money at?)
Closed legs don't get fed, go out there and make my bread
All he wanna know is (where my money at?)
She ended up in a road car, bruised up, scarred hard
All he wanna know is (where my money at?)
She thought he'd call (where my money at?)

[Chorus: Akon (x2)]
See I'mma tell you like Wu told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin' dollar dollar bill y'all (dollar, dollar bill y'all)
Singin' dollar dollar bill y'all (dollar, dollar bill y'all)

[Verse 2: (Akon)]
Pimpin' got harder cos, hoes got smarter
On the strip is something they don't wanna be a part of
Rather be up in the club shakin' for some dub
Then triple times the money and spending it like they wanna
They got they mind on they money, money on they mind
They got they finger on the trigger, hand on the nines
See everyday they feel the struggle, but staying on they grind
And ain't nobody takin' from us, and that's the bottom line

But I know there's a drop in the block
You move slow
You getting' pressure from cops
you don't know not to lay low
Because 25 to life is no joke
To all my real gorillas thuggin'
On top of corners every day strugglin'
All the beautiful women getting' money
Washin' them dollar bills like laundry

[Chorus: Akon (x2)]
Cos' I'ma tell you like Wu told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin' dollar dollar bill y'all (dollar, dollar bill y'all)
Singin' dollar dollar bill y'all (dollar, dollar bill y'all)

[Bridge: (Wyclef Jean)]
Money, money-money-money
Money, money-money-money
It drives the world crazy

[Verse 3: (Lil Wayne)]
[Niia] She used to be
[Weezy] She used to be the sweetest girl

She used to be the sweetest girl ever
Now she like sour ameretta
She wears a dress to the T like the letter
And if you make it rain she will be under the weather
She used to run track back in high school
Now she tricks off the track right by school
She takes a loss cos she don't wanna see her child lose
So respect her, I'll pay up for the time used
And then she runs to the pastor
And he tells her there will be a new chapter
But she feels no different after
And then she asks him... where my money at?

[Chorus: Akon (x2)]
Cos' I'ma tell you like Wu told me
Cash rules everything around me
Singin' dollar dollar bill y'all (dollar, dollar bill y'all)
Singin' dollar dollar bill y'all (dollar, dollar bill y'all)

[Outro: (Wyclef Jean)]
Some live for the bill
Some kill for the bill (oh where my money at?)
She whine for the bill
Grind for the bill (oh where my money at?)
Some steal for the bill, if they got to pay the bill (oh where my money at?)
Tonight Wyclef, Akon, Weezy on the bill
(oh) were my money at?

A Day In Ipoh

Its been awhile since I step my foot in Ipoh's soil. I still can remember it was 14 years ago when I attended college there. Furthermore, my dad was from Batu Gajah. So, when me and my siblings are still little children, we went there almost every year for Deepavali celebration. Now, we are all grown up and everyone have their own life and we seldom go back for Deepavali celebration.

So, it was 18/05/08, Sunday, me and my girlfriend, Tammy, decided to take a 1 day tour to Ipoh town. We are suppose to start the journey at 7am but ended up I over slept, hahaha. So, at 8am we start the journey. We arrived at Ipoh town at 10.30am because we took a slow drive. The first place that we went was Jaya Jusco in Kinta City. We went to jalan-jalan there. When come to brunch time, we don't know what to eat. Then, Tammy decided to eat something that are not available in Penang. So, we went into this cafe called Black Canyon Coffee. I don't know where was it originated from because the menu consist of Thai and Western food. Well, we went in for a try. Surprisingly, the food was not bad and affordable.

Phuket Paradise (White) & Mocha Glassier (Brown)

Tom Yam, Thai Green Curry & Stuffed Chicken Omelette
Mission Accomplished
The beverages that we had are Phuket Paradise consist of coconut, yogurt & pineapple juice while the Mocha Glassier consist of mocha & coffee ice cream. The tom yam and Thai chicken green curry was not bad. But the stuffed chicken omelette has nothing to shout about. I still prefer Tammy's mom Thai chicken green curry. After the brunch, we continue jalan-jalan in Jaya Jusco. The next place we went was Ling Sen Tong. It's a temple at Sam Poh Tong in Jalan Gopeng.

Our next destination is to Ipoh Parade. Nothing much over there but bought a few books of Archie Comic. Tammy was looking for handy craft book, but could not find. Later, the both of us was tired and we lepak at Starbucks Coffee. Before we head back to Penang, we went to Ipoh town to have the famous "nga choi kai" or chicken with bean sprout. It was only 5.30pm and it was crowded with human being. Luckily there are seats for us. But before that, Tammy wanted to buy "yim kok kai" or baked salted chicken. After having our early dinner, we had back to Penang with exhausted and fun.

Our First Buffet Function





I was excited to have a buffet function. Our very first buffet function. It was on Friday, 02/05/08. Although it is just a small one, but at least this is our first one. All the time we are doing western set for function, it really "sien" me already. The price is only RM50.00 nett included loaning of chaffing dishes, plates (because we don't have enough), salad bowl, and even alladin bowl (for sauces or dressing). That means the price for this buffet is only RM30.00 nett per person and the rest goes to the thing that we loaned. On the left is our array of salads & desserts. The spreads are coleslaw, samosa, apple & celery salad, cucumbers, tomato, onion ring, mixed lettuce with two types of dressing, freshly cut fruits and creme caramel. Above are two types of main courses (actually there are four types of main courses and i managed to took two picture only because not enough of memory in my card, hahahaha). They are roasted sirloin of beef with mushroom sauce & pan fried boneless chicken with piquant sauce (bbq sauce actually). The other two mains are pan fried fish fillet with spicy tomato sauce & lasagna primavera.
