Review: Dining @ Banquet, Bangsar Village II
Upfront, here’s the breakdown.
Food: 7.5 / 10
Ambiance: 8 / 10
Service: 6.5 / 10
OVERALL: 6.5 / 10
We went for dinner at the banquet on Friday, 4th July 2008 for my birthday. The last time I went there was with a friend and it was only to try their chocolate cake dessert. So I guess this would be a good time to have a full course meal and celebrate together with my immediate family.
Food
Ok. I must say first and foremost that the food here is good. Not great but well enough to be good. The portion was also alright. However the WAITING we had to do for the food to arrive is absolutely ridiculous. It is just not worth the food at all. We had to wait about 40 minutes for the main course to arrive. And after waiting more than 45 minutes for a simple crepes to arrive, we were forced to cancel it because it was absolute rubbish to wait that long for a simple crepes (which we had ordered and asked to be served together with the main course instead of dessert). However, the manager was nice enough to give us complementary a cake of our choice in substitute for the crepes. Fair is fair.
The delays; it made no sense at all because it was a Friday night and the place wasn’t packed. I mean it wasn’t completely empty either, but judging it was a Friday night and first week of the month I’m sure they would foresee that people would come out for dining since they just got their pay.
Ambiance
Beautiful. Simple yet tastefully done.
Service
The waiters were very attentive and diligent in checking up for our food. It is not their fault at all that the food arrived late; but service is not just the waiters, but also to what goes on behind closed doors (The kitchen). I honestly do not know what they are doing in there, but the delays are unacceptable whatever the reason may be.
Conclusion
Would I come here again sometime soon? NO. Not soon but maybe sometime in the future I would give it a second go. In all fairness they DO have good food and possibly the ridiculous waiting for food is just a one off thing. Here’s hoping that this is a case of right place, wrong time.

Aiya!
I forgot to bring back the damn book!!! ARRRRGHH!! How caressless!!! My poor 'A Game of Thrones'! Dont cry ya baby. I'll read you tomorrow.
A Game of Thrones
I am currently devouring A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin at the moment! It took me awhile to get into the storyline but once it hits...IT HITS!!!! I am so hooked to this book, you can see me carrying it everywhere in and out of office. I can't give a review or rating just yet as I need to finish it first. But so far it looks like a damn good book to me.
A Game of Thrones is the first of seven planned novels in A Song of Ice and Fire, an epic fantasy series by American author George R. R. Martin. It was first published on 6 August 1996. The novel was nominated for the 1998 Nebula Award and the 1997 World Fantasy Award, and won the 1997 Locus Award. The novella Blood of the Dragon, comprising the Daenerys Targaryen chapters from the novel, won the 1997 Hugo Award for Best Novella.
All of the novels in the series use a system whereby each chapter concentrates on one character in a third person limited point of view. Correspondingly, each chapter bears the name of the current POV character (ex. "Bran," "Catelyn," "Daenerys") with the story flipping back and forth between the main characters.
Ps: Thanks Li San for the recomendation and Amanda for the book!

Diablo 3: Character Suggestion
Currently there are 2 confirmed character for Diablo 3. Barbarian and Witch Doctor. And 3 more will be named at a later date. Most likely it will be a spell caster, rogue and priest class. No surprise there really. Yes Blizzard, here's an evil eye to you!
For myself i'd love to see a SHAPESHIFTER CLASS! No, not like the stupid druids or ware animal nonsense. I'm talking about pure Shapeshifting here guys. A character who can temporarily turn into a demon / monster / elemental / spirit / dragon / etc. Now that would be something really interesting and new to see. The character would have to go through a journey and do quest in order to obtain these forms. Ofcouse there are a limited number of forms he/she can shift into but the idea is there.
The Other class I would love to play just cause it looks hot & cool at the same is the Succubus! Maybe somewhere in the storyline after D2, a succubus had fallen from hell's grace and align herself with the forces of heaven! hahaha! my imagination is going crazy now! She can be your typical sorceress with hell powers for all I care but the thought of playing a Succubus is INCREDIBLY SEXY!
Michael Turner Passes Away at 37
I just found this out today. This is very sad news indeed. Michael is my favorite comic book artist since I first saw his masterpieces when I was 15. That was over ten years ago and his art has always been an inspiration to me. My heart and condolences goes out to his family and loved ones. Here's to a great artist now in loving memory.
"We here at Comic Book Resources are very sad to report that artist Michael Turner has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 37. Aspen Comics’ Vince Hernandez told CBR News Saturday morning that Turner passed away Friday night at 10:42 Pacific Time at Santa Monica Hospital in Calfiornia. The news spread quickly at Wizard World Chicago, during what would have otherwise been a riotous night at the hotel bar, the mood suddenly turned somber with remembrances of Turner from friends and acquaintances. A minute of silence will be observed during Wizard World Chicago Saturday afternoon."

AND THE HEAVENS SHALL TREMBLE
Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn.
When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram's Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself.
For The Love Of Petrol Card
With all the crazy petrol increase I feel lucky that our company gave us a petrol card right from the very beginning. With all the hike in prices, it would definitely blow a hole in my monthly gaji if it weren't for the card. Cheers!
Pussycat Dolls - When I grow up
Slutty as usual but the song and video is kinda catchy. Nice one.
Shallow Waters Run Loudly
OK. I have to admit that I haven't been reading the newspaper in a long while since I get all my news online anyways. But the other day I was reading The Star newspaper - Star Two pullout specifically; And I was quite surprise by the amount of beauty ads and articles in that pullout. I mean, there's other stuff on charity work and gadgets but you cant help notice the amount of these beauty stuff like slimming, fat buster creams, vitamins for the skin, wrinkle treatment, etc. I guess what the editors choose to put into the papers is a reflection of the type of society we live in today. So I must say this...SEE! I'm not the only shallow/superficial person in Malaysia! I feel better now.

Haha! I'm liking this version alot. The original ain't bad but this sounds good too.

Kung-Fu Panda Review
Just finished watching Kung-Fu Panda and overall I give it a 6/10. Don't get me wrong but this movie is meant for kids mainly. If you are looking for something abit deep then this movie is not for you. I went with a couple of friends so we laughed alot and it was entertaining. Dont go there for the storyline or deep meaning. Go for the silly jokes and laughs. :-)

Duffy - Warwick Avenue
It breaks my heart every time I watch this video. It's so sad. From what I hear, Duffy actually cried for real in this video cause it reminded her of a past relationship.
Fragile Balance
Having said that, I think its a fragile balance right now cause of the 'other' acct which I'm suppose to be helping out temporarily is getting more and more.....Hectic. I haven't been doing any actual execution work but I have been attending some of their meetings. YA ALLAH!!!! One meeting can go on for 5 HOURS! And they will keep changing and changing everything on the visual or/and script. I cant blame them also cause the clients side have many levels of approvals and on top of that, they are not familiar with the whole advertising process. So, I have a very bad feeling that I'm gonna get raped by this acct very soon.
