Shoooo..t Them!

If you know me well, or even you don’t; you’d know I am not a big fan of sports. I am one lazy pig. But I’ve always dreamed of whacking my teachers or shooting arrows at them when I hate them so much last time. I used to have this teacher who threw our books out of the windows when there are mistakes or undone work. And I used to secretly wish I had a book to throw right at her face. Mean but I really wished that happened. Here’s one activity I did recently that brought back such memories – Archery. I was at Stars Archery in Berjaya Times Square for a trial the other day to help do I LOVE DISCOUNTS next promotion. I thought it was tiring at the same time a fun activity. Though I wish in the future, there will be an archery which allows us to print our enemies faces and place them on the board for us to shoot. Anyone agrees?D3C_7223At Stars Archery,  you’d be given a personal training. Despite my hatred towards sports, I thought the training was pretty intensive, and stressful for a newbie like me. I actually tweeted that “There is this girl who is intimidating me”; thankfully, after I tweeted, she got done with her game and went off. And here comes another pro, I was like.. This is bad. Really bad. He’s really good too. But who cares right? It’s all done in the name of “FUN!”D3C_7231 Colours brighten up my days. Okay, random but yeah pretty tidy and neat place for such a place!D3C_7232 My turn through hell. Not that bad, but I got some “lectures” and some kinda talk on how to handle it. I was sweating all over. Stress gila! 😀D3C_7236 I got down to some actioooon!D3C_7237 Laughing about something my colleague was commenting. I know I suck at it. But I did it anyways. So, who cares if you suck right?D3C_7240 D3C_7241 See I was getting worst, so another guy came to coach me. Personal attention fuih! Giving you a chance to feel like a celebrity. HahahaD3C_7244 D3C_7245 D3C_7247 So, I did better and was left alone now. I felt lonely but pretty shock la. Especially the moment you let go the arrow, your heart skips a second. Really!D3C_7252 D3C_7255 D3C_7261 My last act of being a pro. No, not a pro but I had fun. You’ve gotta try it and I can assure you the deal is dirt cheap. Check out www.ilovediscounts.my all next week for the deal. It’s coming. I assure you. It sure is.

Happy 5th Birthday Twitter

You know I am always slower than many others, so, hence this blog about Twitter’s 5th Birthday recently. I’ve always wanted to do posts which affect people and mentions people. So I told myself that I need to get my hands dirty and really put in some hard work. And with all the below, please also know that it is of my own opinions and does not represent any corporation or conglomerates. If you think I’ve prolly missed out your name or Twitter account, I hereby apologise. Leave me a comment la! But it’s quite amazing how some people still asks “What is Twitter?” though I received these questions less often these days.

In the past short five years, Twitter has reporting having 200+ million users (and bots) and a market valuation of $8 – 10 billion. It is also mentioned that Twitter will continue to change how we discover and interact. Also, to shape culture and the nature of relationships. Fast Company gathered the numbers and have came into the conclusion below:

It took 3 years, 2 months and 1 day to hit 1 billion Tweets. Now it only takes 1 week for Twitter to syndicate 1 billion Tweets — although most of them lately will probably include mentions of Charlie Sheen, Rebecca Black, or Justin Bieber. In February 2011, daily Tweets averaged 140 million (140 FTW) almost 3x the 50 million Tweets sent every day this time last year. On March 11th in the wake of Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami, Tweets flew to 177 million. On New Year’ Day 2011, 4 seconds after passing midnight in Japan, a new Tweets Per Second (TPS) record was set at 6,939. While the exact number of users is elusive, Twitter reports that 572,000 accounts were created on March 12, 2011. 460,000 new accounts were created each day on average in February 2011. Mobile use of Twitter is booming, growing 182% in the last year.

Anyways, my point here is that if you are a new twitter-er or a quiet one, I’m trying to be an awesome guy here to help you out and to expand your horizons. HAHAHA! Just kidding. But, here are some people I follow and I think you should follow too. They are either brilliant, famous, popular or a nobody. If you are listed, put yourself into one of those category. If you think you are in the first 3 category, then YOU’RE SHAMELESS as I am. 😛 OF COURSE, ALL IN ALL, YOU’VE TO FOLLOW MY RANTINGS at @alvinkok_2. That’ll bring you a long long way!

Basically, the list above are people whom I’ve been following which I think has help me know more about the world. Like I said, this is a personal “follow list”, which may or may not left out deserving or undeserving people. Follow at your own risk. At least, to me, these are the people I think you should follow on Twitter. I realised by doing a list like this, I’ve kinda unfollowed quite a number of people who stopped tweeting too. Tell me if you agree to this list by leaving me a comment! Love hearing from you.

Opps.. I Did It Again!

The title says it all. I just indulged myself in some of the world’s most fattening food this time round thanks to I LOVE DISCOUNTS. I am not exaggerating to say that I’ve had my chance to try not 1, but 12 different types of Cheese Tarts. I actually dislike Cheesy people, but I like Cheese. See the irony of the mentally ill Alvin Kok once again? Nevertheless, let’s get away from all my random crap that bores you to death. I LOVE DISCOUNTS gave me another chance to grow a few inches fatter and making my dream come through – of being an explosive (fat) balloon with Opps Cheese Tarts at Pavilion today. Opps Cheese Tarts is Malaysia’s 1st Cheese Tart Stall. The first thing that came into my mind when I heard that “Opps” was this:

Yeah, the song gets stuck into anyone’s head in just a second. Anyways, my point is this: Opps is a Cheese Tart Stall located at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur (168, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Bukit Bintang, 55100, Kuala Lumpur) – near Beard Papa at the Ground Floor (near to Food Republic). It’s not any big fancy stalls but the Opps certainly caught my attention.IMG_0224 You see an array of Cheese Tarts that does not look like Cheese Tarts displayed at the fridge in a very nice, orderly and attractive manner.IMG_0225 At the moment, there are 12 different flavours of Cheese Tarts at Opps. And because it just opened, you get to Buy 10 Free 2 currently (But chup, read on more below for surprises!)IMG_0226With the courtesy of Opps and I LOVE DISCOUNTS, I was given a box here of 12 and because I am a balloon, I got a bite of ever piece. LOL!IMG_0228 I was quite fascinated with the different flavours I was given and the way it was placed in a nice box. Suitable as gifts for Cheese-y friends. Okay, I meant Cheese-lovers’ friends that you have.IMG_0229IMG_0230 So, here’s my 2 cents worth (I hope it worth more!) of opinion on the different flavours given to me. You can choose to abide with my preference, but you are always free to give all of it a try! Almond Cheese Tarts –

Cheese Tarts My 2 Cents
Almond Pretty ordinary. But being a nut fanatic, the almond makes it very nutty, crunchy and tasty. The nuts did not cover the smell of the cheese too!
Black Charcoal The word charcoal tells you most of it already. It tastes weird. I don’t eat charcoal okay? But the cheese taste is still there. I thought that was pretty creative though!
Strawberry If you are a Strawberry lover, this is worth a try. The mixture of strawberry and cheese is about just right. It could be slightly sweeter though.
Pumpkin I like the pumpkin seeds on top. Without a doubt, the pumpkin seeds are the one that gives the cheese tart a variety.
Marble If you are a fan of Marble Cake, you would love this. It is something like Marble Cake, but it’s different because of the cheese. Somehow or rather, it tastes a little like Chocolate! 😛
Lemon This is the ordinary Lemon Cheese Tarts you can get out there, but the difference is this has some tiny lemon pieces on it which it’s chewy.
Greentea Okay, I personally thought this one was the most awful one among all. I did not like the thick taste of Greentea. But I know I am always hated for hating Greentea. Prove me wrong? Go try this! It still smells alien to me somehow! 😛
Coffee Coffee lovers, this is worth a try. The coffee taste was not too strong. So, if you dislike strong taste of coffee, this would make it a good dessert.
Chocolate This was slightly too sweet for me. But if you are a big fan of bitter chocolate, this is not for you. Cause it’s not at all bitter!
Raisins I have to say this one was nice. I shared the tarts with a few and all of us agreed the raisins makes it taste good. Something to chew on while enjoying the taste of the cheese.
Blueberry It’s rare we get to eat blueberry. This was pretty unique and creamy with the blueberries on top.This wasn’t too sweet but I like sucking those blueberry juices out in my mouth! 😛
Black Sesame This was also one of the best. Ain’t too sweet and it had a pretty good mixture of black sesame with cheese. This is a must try!

Despite it all, the cheese texture was pretty smooth. Though I personally think that it should be slightly sweeter. If it was sweeter, it would make a perfecto dessert. But if you are not a fan of sweet sweet things, this is just nice. But if you really have sweet tooth, try get those tarts with toppings, that would help compliment the taste. Okay, the above are obviously my taste buds. Drop me a note if you think it tastes better than that after purchasing them! I wannnnaaaaaaaaaaa know! Buy your chees-y friends a box or get yourself a few today. I LOVE DISCOUNTS will be offering some really good deals beginning middle of next week or so. Keep checking on for more cool discounts coming your way. If you wanna compare the prices, a box of 6 costs RM 21.00 while a box of 10 (+2) costs RM 38.00.

Samovar Russian Cuisine

I hate to admit it but I think I will. I’m actually not a big fan of Russian or even, Arab food. No, am not discriminating. But it’s just so.. erm.. Not me? This time round, I went to Samovar Russian Restaurant at Solaris Mont Kiara thanks to I LOVE DISCOUNTS. This discount was featured on the website a few weeks back where it was just RM25 for Meal for 2. Giving you 50% off from it’s original RM 50. I seemed reluctant going for a new taste but I did it after all. And to my amazement, it wasn’t all too bad So, I thought this was one of my personal favourite.The Olivia Russian Traditional Salad. The taste was a well blend of mixed veg and some meat (and cheese, I think). And I thought the blending of taste was pretty appetizing.IMG_0138 IMG_0139 Kicking off your meals, you also get a Borsh Soup. Though I think the soup was pretty ordinary. I was not able to compare to the usual Borsh Soup because this is an entirely different cuisine. I thought the taste could have been a lil more sour. But averagely, for a soup, it was something unique that it’s worth a try!IMG_0140  Going into the Main Course, this is Katletti (Breaded minced chicken with butter and cheese filling). The Chicken was a little bit oily and salty, at first. But when it’s mixed with the rice, I think it was such a good mix. The chicken was fresh and there are actually some spices and sauces for you to add on to flavour it, which I thought it was pretty interesting!IMG_0143Pepper, mayonnaise and chilli sauce. IMG_0144 This was the Blinchiki (Beef rolled inside a pancake) and Golubtsy (Meat rolled in cabbage leaves and stewed – a famous Russian Winter dish). I thought the beef in Blinchiki was pretty tender, fresh and nice. It was nicely wrapped and you can also add some black pepper sauce.IMG_0146 This is really a nice dish and it’s pretty filling.IMG_0145 You are also served with Ice Lemon Tea as part of the discount. Generally, the whole shop has a great ambience and it’s clean. The ambience is quiet and calm. It also faces the NKVE highway where you see cars all over.If you enjoy seeing cars, that’s the place to hang out at. Before I forget, Samovar also offers Western and Italian favourites like steaks, grilled meats, lasagna and spaghettis. They also have a Bring-Your-Own Alcohol policy. There are no alcohol offered on the menu. Nevertheless, you can bring your own and there are no corkage charges. If you think thats just it, glasses and ice are all at your service for free. This deal ended on January 25, 2011 on ILOVEDISCOUNTS. If you did not get this deal, you kinda missed us, cause it’s not always you get 50% off on your favourite meals. __________________________________________________________________________ SAMOVAR RUSSIAN CAFE K-01-08 SOHO KL, 1st Floor (Facing NKVE Highway), few doors from Tenji, Solaris Mont Kiara Business Hours: Daily from 3pm-12am.

I Have A Big Mouth.

Hello! So, you know me well. I have a fantarstic big mouth. You don’t need to know me well to know that I have a big mouth anyways. Yeap, I went into a cafe that actually resembles me and my BIG MOUTH! 😀 So, I actually went into a restaurant cafe called The Big Mouth to do some food tasting sponsored by ILOVEDISCOUNTS. This was one of the deal featured (and ended) a week ago!DSC_0004I was there to test out some cakes and coffee. And of course, it was not at all disappointing. Staying true to it’s tagline – Simply Exotic Taste really caught me. Cause the cakes tasted better than it looks. Yes, looks ain’t that deceiving. It ain’t an oxymoron afterall. The first cake I tasted was this: Chocolate Pralinosa Crunchy (RM 6.90). Being a nutty person like me, I love nuts. The cake wasn’t too sweet and the best part was it is crunchy because of the nuts! The dark chocolate wasn’t too bitter neither was it too sweet either. Okay, don’t judge me. I love everything that’s nutty because I go nuts often!DSC_0009Next, I decided to try something more common to see if it stands out as compared to others. So, I selected – Blueberry Chill Cheese (RM 6.90) since you see this cake almost in every cake shop. Don’t chu? I expected this cake to be filling and cheesy. But to my amazement, it wasn’t. It was light and fluffy (quotes my friend). And I think I enjoyed it much because it’s just nice for tea time – where you don’t need filling cakes to stuff your stomach and get you all sleepy. Though I did think that the layer of crust below it could be a little thicker. Yes, I love all crunchy things!DSC_0017 I also ordered this unique Italiano Hot Chocolate (RM 6.90). The staff did claim that it was quite a hit order. I think this drink was just okay. And it’s chocolate was too light. I need it sweeter and thicker for this one! But the aroma and taste is of course there already!DSC_0018 Okay, this looks a bit funny here for a Caramel Hazelnut Latte (RM 5.90). I think being a Barista previously has shaped my tongue into one big fussy one! I did enjoy this better than the Italiano Chocolate. Though I prefer the Hazelnut Latte at my previous workplace. But this wasn’t too bad but just that the taste of coffee would be better if it was stronger. But if you like something that isn’t too heavy. I think you’ve found the right drink!DSC_0020All in all, this is one cozy cafe for chats and talkover; whether it’s business or leisure. It has a nice ambience and good service. I’ve to say that there were many staffs there in the cafe. This cafe serves other meals like sandwiches, pasta, burgers and some western too for meals. A pity I didn’t get to try any of those meals. This deal ended on January 15, 2011 on ILOVEDISCOUNTS as it was a 53% discount for a cake and a cuppa coffee. And with the ambience, the cakes quality. it’s sure worth a go.DSC_0032e2Photos credit to Nicholas Pang and Lim Yi Hueih. __________________________________________________________________________ THE BIG MOUTH 24-1, Jalan USJ 9/5N, Subang Jaya, 47620, Selangor, Malaysia Tel: +603-80249095 __________________________________________________________________________ Get the best deals: ILOVEDISCOUNTS Facebook – http://www.facebook.com/welovediscounts ILOVEDISCOUNTS Twitter – @ilovediscountmy
