Brooks Half Marathon - my First Run in 2013

Ok...I know it's kinda late to post this now...but I wanted to wait for the result first...well, the official result has been revealed yesterday so now I'm sharing my insight on this marathon now ^^

I have always like to run at Bukit Jalil...Passing across the nice houses and wide road, running at Bukit Jalil is not something new to me...The first time was Larian Amal Seri Sinar in 2009 and the second was Bareno Run in 2011..So this should be the third time I run at Bukit Jalil...

Although the run is called "Half Marathon", various other categories also available, and as usual, my pick was 10km, hehe ^^

And after months of retiring from marathon, I'm glad that I was able to finish the 10km course at just under 1.5hours!! Happy MooN ^^

CpMooN's Aglio Olio Pasta

All my life, I have never cooked a proper meal, other than instant food like Maggi Mee or Campbell Soup. I have the luxury to mom’s cooking every day when back from work, otherwise I would head to the nearest restaurant and cafe.

But I just bought an Electrolux induction cooker last weekend (after planning for 6 months!!!)…how can I not make use of it right? ^^

First dish that came to my mind was spaghetti....well, that's a very simple dish to prepare right?

And among carbonara, bolognese and aglio olio, my most preferred spaghetti dish is aglio olio...so I am going to cook spaghetti aglio olio my own style ^^

For those of you who haven't know, "aglio e olio" literally means "garlic and oil" in Italian, and spaghetti aglio olio is said to originate traditionally from the region of Abruzzo.

Anyway I'm sure you can easily find the information on the web...Let's just get started with this simple cooking~

Presenting you, the Spagetthi Aglio Olio ala CpMooN's Style

Fun at KOSÉ Facebook Fans Exclusive

This morning I purposely woke up early and headed to Pavilion Kuala Lumpur...all for the KOSÉ Facebook Fans Exclusive at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur (^^)

What is so special about this event? 

Well, the first 100 KOSÉ Facebook Fans at the event will entitled:

• FREE Door Gift (Worth RM200)
• FREE Make Over and One-to-one Workshop by International Make-up Artist, Mr Dobashi

I don't know who is this Dobashi-san actually, and the fail part of this event is there was no introduction of Mr Dobashi =.=" I made my wild guess which one is him based on his picture in the KOSÉ Facebook but till today I'm not sure if I made the correct guess (sorry!)

What other benefits of attending the event?
