Have You Tried Baked Eggs in Bacon Baskets ?


Baked Eggs in Bacon Basket - Something new, Something tasty


This is such a nice idea for breakfast/brunch. It is so simple as the eggs in baskets stays warm, unlike scrambled eggs which always seem to get cold when left on the plate.

There are many variations of this recipe on the blogosphere. I've tried it and find that this method worked best. I made them 2 ways, some scrambled with cheese, and others just baked with a soft center cause I couldn't decide which way we liked them best.


Lightly brush the cup muffin tin tray with margarine or place a nicely cut parchment paper to put them in place . To avoid egg or bacon sticking on the tray.


Lightly cook strips of bacon (or how ever many baskets you are making). DO NOT cook the bacon till crisp, but just enough to get rid of some of the grease. A few seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels.







Coil your bacon slices around the wells of the muffin tin. Crack an egg and pour into the well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper for flavor.


You can also whisk your eggs together and add some cheese, like a quiche, and pour this mixture into the bacon baskets. (2nd version)


I baked them 375 degrees for 10 minutes for a runny center (to soak up with toast), or 12 minutes for the scrambled and cheese version.







Use a spoon to remove the baskets and  ! They are so pretty and better than the usual bacon and eggs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Voila ! Your breakfast is ready in less than 20mins. Served best with bread toast and a cup of coffee. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Astro Boy The Movie Got C+ rating !


Astro Boy, The Movie got bad reviews. Sad


Astro Boy, one of the iconic Japanese anime that has gotten a Hollywood makeover recently got a C+ rating from the movie reviewers of E!. It was published on their website and here's the full review of the movie.

Astro Boy begins with a shocker that belies the flippant tone which follows: A scientist's young son (Freddie Highmore) is obliterated in a nuclear flash by a heavily armed war-bot. Said scientist, Dr. Tenma, who has the hair and soul patch of a hipster and the voice of Nicolas Cage, decides to put things right by making a robot boy who has all the memories of his son.


But memories aren't all that make the man. When the new kid turns out to have a supercharged intellect—not to mention the ability to fly and turn his arms into giant cannonsTenma realizes that the robot, who will ultimately name himself Astro, is not a perfect replacement (why he didn't think of this when installing the rocket-launchers into the boy's body is beyond us; some folks just grieve in odd ways, it seems). However, more is at stake here than father-son relations.


Astro is powered by a glowing blue ball of positive energy; a counterpart to the glowing red ball of negative energy at the heart of the war-bot who killed his organic predecessor. Greedy, militaristic President Stone (Donald Sutherland), who is amusingly running for reelection on a platform of no change, wants both balls (pun probably intended), sensing that the only way to revive his sagging popularity is to start a new war.


In evading the army, Astro winds up leaving the idyllic levitating mountain city on which he and all the wealthy folks live, plummeting to the planetary surface that is covered, Idiocracy-style, in mountains of robotic debris. Here in the wilderness, he will of course find new friends and figure out his destiny.


Imagi studios previously showed great skill with cinematic action sequences in their TMNT adaptation, and the action moments are equally impressive here, lending just the right amount of dizziness to the aerial battles between Astro and his various pursuers.


Unfortunately, the rest of the movie doesn't quite tonally mesh, with the horror of the son's death and the implications of Stone's genocidal plans given equal weight to such distractions as a wacky trio of radical robot liberationists or a goofy circus director voiced by Nathan Lane; a comparison to the robot carnival in A.I. is instructive on how better to balance the comedic and the dark.


But then, Hollywood's attempts to do the anime style never seem to get it, as previous misfired like Titan A.E. can attest. That Astro Boy gets at least some of the elements right could be seen as some kind of triumph—just not enough of one to induce us to recommend it.


If you were disappointed by the review, revive your excitement by watching Astro Boy, The Movie trailer here.

Astro Boy, The Movie is scheduled to be released on 19 November 2009 in all major cinemas in Malaysia.

Dell Inspiron 13 - Review


The latest Dell Inspiron 13 is available now for you


Was flipping through The Star newspaper just now and saw a Dell brochure attached to it. I was taken by surprise to see how much Dell has updated and improvised their laptop and desktop line. Everything was looking so nice and tempting. But most importantly, the aesthetics and performance are on par with the price-point which in turn equals to an affordable deal ! What caught my attention most is their latest laptop, the Dell Inspiron 13.

Since I'm a Dell laptop user myself (Dell Inspiron 14 which I bought Jan last year to be exact), I felt that Dell's machine has never left me down. Paired with top notch services and reliable after sales support, its no doubt that Dell has always been on top of their game.


I was so curious about the latest Dell Inspiron 13 and that lead me to browse the Net for more details. True to its name,- Slim, lightweight and portable, the Dell Inspiron 13 is designed with touches that exude contemporary appeal.

Dell Inspiron 13 - Sexy and Sleek Laptop


Physically wise, it is very thin measuring only 322mm in width,while 27mm front /31mm back in height and has a depth of 218mm. Certainly very portable and mind you its a 13 inch laptop. Therefore, you will be able to slot into your bag or just lugging around in the grasp of your hand easily. It comes in 3 colors which are the Alpine WhiteObsidian Black and Cherry Red to suit your taste.


Dell Inspiron 13 comes in a 13.3” 16:9 WLED HD panel with native 720p resolution in Dell TrueLife display to produce the most vivid and true life experience of Hi-Def viewing.

Simple Tips by Streamyx


tmnet streamyx




TMNet Streamyx, the Internet Service Provider you hate to love or love to hate. Whichever side you are in, it is by far still one of the very reliable broadband provider in the country. Do you ever got frustrated with Streamyx always getting disconnected ? or DSL lights blinking non-stop ? Well, save the hassle of calling TM by following a few simple tips. After all, they will too ask you to do same as below.



  1. Make sure your telephone (square head),LAN (rectangle head) and electric cables are in good condition. 
  2. Check the "head" on both sides of the telephone and LAN cable. If you see those copper chipping off, replace with a new one.
  3. Push those cables in their respective places - telephone cable (from the telephone slot to splitter and modem) - LAN cable (modem/router to PC/laptop) till you hear a loud "click" sound. Not too hard but once you hear the sound, it's sufficient enough.
  4. Check the splitter if its malfunction. Test it by connecting straight to the modem itself or connecting telephone cable to the splitter. If you still see blinking DSL lights in the latter step, its time to change the splitter.
  5. Make sure everything is properly configured from the modem/router to your PC. I assumed this step should not be a problem for anyone who has been connecting to Streamyx.
  6. Most important advise to follow - Always unplug telephone cables and electric appliances from the power source after every use or especially during thunderstorms. You wouldn't want your motherboard or modem to get fried !
  7. If your problem still cant be solved, its time to call TM at 100 from your land line telephone. Most likely is the cabling stuffs or temporary disruption around your area.

Hopefully with these solutions, you might be able to surf the internet better, provided by Streamyx


Yeah, I know some of you might disagree with me but take a look at the current proliferation of on-the-air wireless broadband like P1 Wimax and Digi Broadband. They are equally as great but very prone to disruption caused by radio waves and worst still performance tends to drop during rainy days


Still early days perhaps? Hopefully we will get to see more broadband battle, so we end-consumers can have more choices to choose from. And to all ISPs please improve your Internet physical infrastructures if you want to compete with other nations in terms of technology and Internet standards.


At the end of the day, it all boils down to your luck, if your area is close to the base station of any ISP, then you will get the best surfing experience ever regardless of whether its by Streamyx or P1 Wimax.

Has been getting buffered ads from Streamyx but only during night time, hopefully Nuffnang or TM can broadcast their ads here in this blog 24/7 !

The New 13-inch MacBook 2009 Review


Latest 13-inch MacBook by Apple


Apple had just launched their latest MacBook or I should rephrased it as a bumped up MacBook with some changes to the build. Utilizing the unibody contruction of a MacBook Pro, it is very inevitable that Apple had focused it in all their latest MacBook line. Currently available on Apple Store.

To illustrate just how good the internals are on the MacBook, just compare them to the current base 13-inch MacBook Pro. Both have a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo with a 3MB L2 cache, a 1066 MHz frontside bus and a 2GB DDR3 default RAM. They also have a really similar LED backlit display, which eliminates the problem of narrowed viewing angles that docked the first generation unibody MacBooks for, and both now have the same contrast ratio. The only difference is that the Pro has a 60% greater color gamut.



Yups, thinner MacBook with rounded edge. Looking cool huh ! It's an immediately more appealing shape than the previous generation of white MacBooks, marking the end of the transition of Apple laptops to unibody construction.


The best part, all latest MacBook with get the same glass Multi Touch trackpad that is built in the current MacBook Pro. In general the lastest is a more solid built and more "Pro" than ever before altough despite the material being used are polycarbonate instead of aluminium.


Here's the comparison chart that you have been waiting for. Worth or not worth getting one ? Let's do a comparison with some current and this year's model


 The Higher, The Better !


The Longer, The Better !
Final verdict ?  the latest MacBook does performs well if not better or on par with the current MacBook Pro.  Plus battery life is significantly longer due to the new body work and internal optimizations made by Apple which is said to last at least 4 hours 20 mins on full charge with WiFi turned on, keypad backlight on low setting and played  HD video contents continuously.


If you looking for a MacBook, look no further as the latest one has the same specs as the low-end MacBook Pro,while inheriting some awesome features from their "Pro" siblings. Price is RM3599 and only 13-inch model is sold currently. Snow Leopard OS X 10.6 comes bundled with it.

Yap Wen Ji Sues Amber Chia For Defamation


Amber Chia got sued by Yap Wen-Ji..How sad


Will the feud between Amber Chia and Yap Wen-Ji on The Malaysia Ford Supermodel Search ever ends ? Not quite sure for now but it seems this case might get dragged for a very very long period. So yeah, below is the article from New Straits Times published on Tuesday, 20th October regarding on Yap Wen Ji filing a suit of defamation against Amber Chia.




KUALA LUMPUR: Model-cum-actress Amber Chia faces a suit from her one-time business partner Yap Wen-Ji.


Yap, who created and produced the model search series Malaysia's Supermodel Search, yesterday filed a suit for defamation against Chia at the High Court here.


Represented by her lawyer, Kenneth Tan Chik Wai, Yap is suing Chia in relation to statements she made in the Sin Chew Daily newspaper on Oct 6.


She has also named Sin Chew Corporation and the newspaper's editor-in-chief Pook Ah Lek as defendants.




She is seeking general damages of RM10 million, aggravated damages of RM5 million, interest, an injunction restraining Chia, Sin Chew Corporation and Pook from further publishing defamatory statements, and an order that Chia retracts her statements and apologises within five days.


Tan said the newspaper published an article on Oct 6 which stated that Chia was allegedly cheated by her business partner.


Yap claimed that her reputation had been severely damaged and the article had resulted in sponsors withdrawing from the show.


Since we are already on board for this saga, more juicy news coming up soon..

Through My Window + everyoneconnects.net = TM latest Campaign


TM + Bunkface = everyoneconnects.net Through My Window


At last, everything was revealed today, 23rd October at 8pm. After looking into the website again, it has actually got revamped and added more information. Orange colour background, a song that was quite Malaysian-ish and 1Malaysia. How could we ignore such minor details ? well, it was actually TM's latest campaign. Awesome way to promote yah ? Who are the singers or band of Through My Window ? It's Bunkface !! FTW.



As I had posted up in my post earlier, the message,"Open For Collaboration" on a package with a CD of Through My Window single was sent to major radio stations. It couldn't be an oversea artiste doing that and if yes, we could had known the identity of them from the Internet in the first place itself. It even got to an extend of asking Ryan Seacrest to recognize the artist. TM had done a great job in grabbing our attention in mass media and even on Twitter and Facebook !!.


But this was so different, being kept anonymous for the past 3 days and the same song was playing without revealing the identity of the band or artiste. This is what the website had written on their ABOUT US page.


WE'RE ABOUT COLLABORATIONS. We're about bringing people together. And rallying them behind an idea. And building on each other's strengths to ultimately make the idea bigger than we ever imagined. CONNECTIONS MAKE ANYTHING POSSIBLE.


TODAY IT'S ABOUT A SONG. TOMORROW IT CAN BE ANYTHING. Preparations for an exam. Relationships. An invention. A business presentation. A party. Anything you can imagine. CONNECTIONS MAKE ANYTHING POSSIBLE.


Pretty catchy huh ? Well apparently from the website, you can do a mash-up of the song Through My Window with your own songs in a specially created sound editor. Apart from that, you too can download the single itself in the form of MP3 and Ringtone. Well done, TM !


Here's the snippet of the TV commercial aka Music Video of Through My Window by TM.

Cant wait for the Full Length copy !! Login to the website for more details

Movie Review - Surrogates



Surrogates featuring lead actor, Bruce Willis


Got to watch a movie after some hectic weeks,FINALLY..Yeah, I know its like kinda late for a movie review right ? Try not to write more as I guess most of you, movie goers had watched it already anyway. Starring Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchell, this is one hell of an action packed kick ass movie and some super high tech stuffs that make you drool !! To give you some clue, Surrogates is synonymous with Substitute.







So, what is it all about ? Try to imagine this - Put together these movies into an equation okay?


I-Robot + Terminator + Matrix + Wall- E + Barbie Doll ?? = Surrogates !!


Basically this movie is centered around Surrogates aka Substitutes that will sooner or later taking over human's life. To make those Surrogates work, there must be an operator (real human) to handle it. Yeah, its like a VR video game but you are using your own mind to control the machine from your room. Cool huh ?


The best stuff is you can choose the gender of your Surrogate and remodel it to your likings.Playing God perhaps? You can choose to be either Megan Fox or Gerard Butler or even President Obama. AWESOME right ?


In the movie, it is said that using Surrogates cut down crime rates and racism drastically. And of course with that convenience there must be some smart ass trying to destroy it. Yups, you guessed it right, the humans who are the Surrogate-Haters lead by a giant black african, The Prophet !!


Agent Greers (Bruce Willis) and Agent Peters (Radha Mitchell) were investigating on a weapon that killed 2 Surrogates mysteriously as this in turn killed their operators too. This plot thickens up till the extend of Bruce Willis almost got killed and he had decided not to use a Surrogate any more.


And of course, Surrogate is just too perfect to be destroyed and nothing else better to do, the creator himself is the culprit behind the weapon planned a mass destruction to wipe off all Surrogates that was once his proud creations. Yes, the hero saves the day for mankind. Thank you, Uncle Bruce.


There were some funny moments in the movie that I find it very humorous


  • Surrogates must be charged at a charging chamber. Reminisce of a mobile phone and iPod.FTW !
  • If you are pissed off at a person during conversation, can just go offline and yeah, Surrogate itself goes on standby mood. I think that's so damn COOL !
  • Surrogates bleed in green lubricants not even red in color nor battery water.
  • Surrogate's brain is a thick memory card.
  • "Humans Only" area for the Surrogate-Haters community which looked like a third world country. Reminisce of "District 9" too because of that tagline.
  • Surrogates goes for plastic surgery aka "changing rubber"of the face
  • Surrogates had this "shocking device" that make them highOMG !
Why did I mention Barbie Doll at the beginning ? Because those Surrogates really looked so darn perfect from their figure and feature. Even Bruce Willis looking so damn young and plasticky in the movie.
