It ain't Izzi being easy

2007-12-08T22:21:00.000+08:00

Woke up yesterday eager to dig in to crabs! The weather wasn't lovely, but I'm slightly mad cause "I'm only happy when it rains". Settled the fees and everything and the seafood trip was cancelled... :( No more crabs for my fingers to pry open then. Poor poor. So there was a "congregation" on "What to do then?", *I kept saying karaoke, but no one seemed to want to agree or disagree, my voice went with the wind outside*

Soon it was decided that we went for Shabu-Shabu. I-Rene suggested 1U. but I forgot what happened, but we didn't end up going there. hahah we headed for Kepong instead. Let's see, the each person a little boiler concept is pretty nice but the food is just.. erm.. normal? The sauce is terrific though. hahaha Would I go to all the trouble to go there again? Nope. Unless somehow I'm in that vicinity and the company I'm with wants to go there.

Everyone was stuffed after that, so no dessert for us... Sob sob... then we headed for Karaoke... sigh.... Well at least we get to sing. Wanted to sing Cyndi Wang... LOL.... but the Sin Ying chose so many... -.-"" I think halfway through the session, I didn't feel like singing anymore... *I stopped enjoying myself? Oh dear.... what's wrong with me?* I felt rather content watching the music videos or rather guessing the chinese characters. Haha... *I might as well have stayed at home and surfed youtube eh?*

Rushed home to get ready for dinner. Watched tv and read the papers at the same time. Received a message from Strawbs that she would leave her house at 7.15pm. *Takes less than 5 minutes to reach my house from hers*. 7.30pm.... Mum said: "Takes so long from her house to come here meh?" Then she arrives.. hahaah

Reached Izzi!

Surprisingly we were the first to arrive. LOL... Started taking pictures and thus begins my first "official" photologview. Wk, no longer evil devil and yi lin bong reached and we ordered our drinks first. After maybe about 20 minutes only did How Han, Function & SK arrive along with our drinks.. My guess is that they probably took it from Starbucks that's why it took them so darn long... -.-"

Allowed the rest to study the menu to finally order.
Let's see.. Function & SK ordered the Carbonara.

According to Function, it ain't nice. But Yi Lin felt it wasn't half bad.

How Han ordered....

I don't think he liked his either. Oh he ordered mushroom soup too.

WK ordered....

Chicken Steak with Pasta

Shu Wei had...

Grilled Butterfish with Tomato Coulies, which had really wonderful presentation. hehe

Mei Shea's was...

Baked Cheese Macaroni... there was a typo on the menu.. unless it wasn't a typo? I tasted a little, it felt like Mac & Cheese, the cheese was too sour for my liking.... According to her, it was like Mac & Cheese, very little chicken.

Me & Yi Lin shared
Pollo Tropicale Pizza &

Cheese Dough Ball? I forgot the name.. hehe.. It was a starter though...

The pizza was ok, the base didn't ebcome soggy & all as it cooled down, but it didn't really meet my expectations... I prefer Domino's -.-" Puzzini's is still the best though... LOL. The Cheese Dough Ball thingy was ok. If U left it there to "absorb" the air-cond, the bun would be hard on the outside but on the inside it's still soft & nice... hehe

After that, the majority wanted to catch a movie, so I played along.. sadly there weren't any nice times.... Both in TGV & GSC. Walked pass my favourite shop in 1U. There was a bear that is really cute! But I already have tonnes so no more...

Ended up at Friendster cafe. The jam heading to Kota Damansara was horrible. Mei Shea took the jammed up route while wk didn't. Imagine. They already reached Friendster cafe but we were still at 1U's traffic light... *smacks head*

Pretty tired by the time we got there... Played some games.. the last game was uno stacko which was also the silliest. We only palyed one game of that cause we needed to leave. 3 people into the game, How Han had a hard time finding a nice piece to take. wk was next and he made it fall. Shu Wei, me & Yi Lin didn't even get a chance to pull.. -.-"" LOL...

The service at Friendster was I would say good, thier service people were nice & friendly... But the frink I would say is overpriced. Oh well, there's a first for everything.

Till then cheerios.

P.S. Strawbs really needs new music for her car....

Weather's a KILLER!

2007-12-02T15:43:00.000+08:00

Goodness Gracious, the Sun is Xtra scorching today. The heat burns my skin, but no marks are seen. teehee... anyway went to my Grandma's house for lunch. *actually more like my aunt's house but my grandma lives there but it's all the same...*

There was a shockin amount of food laid out on the table... Got crabs somemore... Yum... but I only ate one claw... They were expecting company sans the amount of food on the table. The "company" was like a long lost relative. Husband & wife came, the "husband" is my Dad's cousin. They ahven't seen each other since 20 years ago.... -.-"" so technically I could say that I might not have seen them in my entire life.. till now...

Anyway cut the story short, it seems like I have a celebrity actress as my distant cousin... hahhahahah same age... female.. how she looks like I have no idea, what's her name I have no idea... sad stuff this is...

Classes are starting and somehow I feel much lazier... It's December! It's supposed to be a holiday... jeez... oh well, cheerios now! Have a Scorching day & Cool night!

Eh, got free ticket ah?

2007-11-30T16:24:00.000+08:00

Apparently someone did get a free ticket. But that later.

Yesterday it poured out of the blue, it felt like those days where thing that could possibly go wrong would eventually get wrong. It was 5pm, Chelle called & I rushed to get ready, rushed myself for that adrenaline feel. *What the heck?* Wong Kam Kam arrived and we reached BSC in the heavy rain where most of the cars were going at 40-50kmph...

Had an odd time collecting the tickets... and went to Chilli's to Chill.. hehe.. Chelle was quite "gan jiong" I have no idea why.. only 7 whut... 8 o'clock only the show starts... * We found out after that it was 8.30 pm.. -.-""* There were 2 false alarms before the eventual alarm actually went off...

I forgot what we were doing but Vat & Yeen was suddenly at the side of our table.. Surprising! Yeen was genuinely surprised too... Obviously, cause we were supposed to surprise her anyway... Had dinner and pretended that we weren't going to the show. Chatted too.. the chatting stopped when we heard the Chilli's staff singing "Happy Birthday" to a boy near our table. The chattering continued... Chelle & I agreed that Yeen thought it was for her.. whahahahha teruknya kita....

We continued chit chatting and all. Everyone had a story how nice... As always I don't... sad... Lied that we needed to leave soon. cause we *Me & Chelle* still thought that the show was starting at 8pm. Soon another cake came out of the kitchen accompanied by the birthday song. I was thinking.. "Wah so many people's birthday today." Then it stopped at our table. "Huh? wrong table ah?" *Cause I thought Vat wasn't getting a cake* We looked quizzically at the staff and sensing something was wrong the staff felt a little odd and then thier "Happy Birthday" waned a little too... hahahha... The cake was confirmed to be ours... but it definitely surprised us all. Vat's friend dropped it off for our table. How nice.. Thank U to her! Mana tahu the cake was for me also. hahaha cause I insisted on getting one for Yeen's, so they had to get one. wahhahaha thank U Vat & Chelle... Though a slice was enough... ok k.. I know.. don't whine anymore..

Then the presents were given out. Yeen had the free ticket for "Eh, got free ticket ah?" and she went, "No.. I'm paying for the ticket.... No.. No" and I had a voucher for a free meal at any restaurant in BSC and I went "No, where can.. don't want.. it's too expensive" *Jeez, why can't anyone just accept thier present graciously eh?* No wonder Chelle asked me to pick... ish... Since we already acted that we weren't going for the show though Yeen insisted... We continued acting.... We left first... met them at the escalator and said oh.. we were looking for times... -.-"" *I bet she suspected something*

Vat & Yeen waited on the left while Me & Chelle waited on the right... Let them in first and casually walked in... She was surprised again.. wahhahaha syoknya...

Now for the show: The show had Zak "Papi" Kamal as the opening act. There were some funny ones... but the build up was kinda long so it felt a little slow... I like me funnies to keep coming... not laugh for 2 minutes then break for 5 mins. I like mine to come every minute! hahaha so picky.. -.-" But Jit Murad was more to my kinda funny... He was quick and witty but occasionally a little too political for a person who doesn't like reading politics. The last act was Harith Iskandar... Personally I don't really like him.. I dunno why, but he wasn't that bad.. but again.. his style wasn't too my liking, the build up was a little dragging... At the beginning of one of the acts the act, I think it was Harith, he asked "who had free tickets to the show? We stared at Yeen.

Time passed quite fast though as when we came out it was 11pm.. not bad... Throughout the show I was wondering how they were gonna use a guite by the side of the stage, in the end they didn't use it... hehe

Ended the night with some McD's and went home in a fogging Wong Kam Kam. I think we were kinda paranoid at the car park area or going towards the car park area... hehe... Anyway, it was a nice nite... I'm not wondering what other plays should I go... hahaha

Still a little kid

2007-11-27T20:06:00.000+08:00

Was helping my mum clear a cupboard today. SO much books, SO much dust. As she was passing them books to me, I stumbled upon one of my childhood favourite books, "The Magic Stone". Hahahahah started reading it too... then I continued to find my favourite book "The Magic Brush". Hehehhehe... so syok reading it... Don't know why I like em, probably it's the painting... There were quite a number of books that I remembered.. actually I remembered all of them.. hahahha could tell what was inside what book. LOL

There was one giant book, which I remembered was darn heavy when I was young, *it was the size of an atlas*, I only remembered Rip Van Winkle from it though.. heheh there were some pretty old Archie Comics as well...

The oldest I found would be a book from my mum's age. It was given from my aunt. The cost of the book was 50p. Hahahhaa.... hilarious this thing... Oh I found Richie Rich Comic, how interesting.. I shall stop now an continue reading the bedtime story books... heheh

Colourful Chic Lit

2007-11-18T17:02:00.000+08:00

They come in all kinds of colours, light purple, light blue, light pink, always light colours, colours that women like I assume cause chic lits tend to have those light colours as their covers. Was at the Penguin warehouse sale today. Man there were tonnes of books! didn't know where to start. Did a rush job glancing through the boxes and boxes and boxes and rows and rows and rows of books.... Poor eyes

picked up 4 different colours for meself, 3 obvious chic lits, the other may not be, then again....

Clockwise from top left: Swan Adamson's "My Three Husbands" *the illustrations on this cover reminds me of a game I played before*,Margaret Dumas's "The Balance Thing", Alexander McCall Smith's "Friends, Lovers, Chocolate", Jonathan Lethem's "You Don't Love Me Yet"

Frankly speaking, the only author I heard of hear is Alexander McCall Smith... but who cares??? I don't.. hahahha 4 books with an average of 11/book.. not bad... Cheerios now...

P.S. I think there's something wrong with my blogger/template. I click on template, don't make any changes to the template, but when I click preview, everything goes haywire. odd?

The mail that never came. Then again, never say never

2007-11-15T20:42:00.001+08:00

Sigh... No one wants to buy the stock from my previous post ah? Sigh... Anyway, I received something yesterday that could have made my day. It's quite hilarious actually. I shall explain, just wait, I need to convince U to buy the stuff first. Why don't U want to buy the stuff? Is it not reasonable? Heck the price can be haggled, why not? *ok enough crap now, ur chasing everyone away*

Now I shall start with my story. Had a paper to sit for yesterday, wasn't very satisfied with how I did, I crapped a lot. Yes! When I say I crapped a lot means I crapped tonnes, *nah I'm just exaggerating, I crapped for almost 3 outta 5 essay questions" Ok, left the exam hall early cause the place was crazily cold! My fingers were practically numb, the fingers that were numb were in my pocket somemore. -.-" Could have left earlier, but I heard rain and thunder, so I couldn't go anywhere in the current weather anyway, I just waited... waited... waited.

Reached home and oddly enough, checked out the mail that was collected. * I hardly get mail, apart from the result slip which is addressed to me but my parents eagerly open, but I check occasionally for some reason I have no idea. Trying to be nosy I guess. * Then I saw one really odd mail. A letter addressed to me, it was a mail for members.

I was shocked and was thinking "are U kidding me?", I showed my mum too and her response was almost similar, so I opened it. It was a brochure like thing to invite me to some carnival, there was a contest too and boy were those prizes tempting. But there's a catch. The contest is open only to children of 12 and below. -.-"

The mail was from a fast food chain, from their "Kiddie Club". I don't even remember joining. Wait! I remember joining, but it is very vague. My mum said I probably joined in 1994 or 1995. To be honest, I never received a single mail from them before. I don't even remember having a membership card *if they have one*. 13/12 years later they send me a mail?? heck I'm already 20! Yes, I might be young at heart but isn't this pushing it a little? It took them 12 / 13 years to mail me something? imagine how efficient they are. -.-""

I seem angry eh? Actually I'm grinning. Interesting ain't it? the first mail they send me is when I'm 20. Hahahahhaha that's how some silly mail almost made my day.

Let's see thier timelime. Let's say they use one year for each activity.
1. Send application
2. hang around at PO box, or letter box
3. Picked up application and sent to head office or where ever they approve them applications
4. scrutinize application
5. Approval by manager 1
6. Approval by manager 2
7. Approval by head manager
8. Details filed into database
9. Scrutinize details again
10. Oh, database is computerized, move files to IT centre
11. so many applications, takes time to reach mine
12. type in details
13. print details on envelope and sent out.

Days later, letter in my hand. interesting indeed! hahahha

P.S. Notice the lack of "..."?

Too frustrating being fussy

2007-11-14T16:34:00.000+08:00

Being too fussy has made me given up... oh sigh.. how frustrating... Now I shall relate the ordeal to all who are too free to listen to me whine about my fussy-ness... Let the story begin:

One fine day, I decided to make a fairly "wise" decision to change something that has long been part of my life.... Aiyah cut the crap short... I give up wearing contacts... so simple.. -.-"""

Now I'll explain my fussiness. See first to wear contacts, one needs to clean thier hands and dry it... Now I wash my hands, I wipe it dry... Oh dear there are fibres flying around.... I get rid of the fibres that I can see, but u know fibres, they probably need a microscope to be spotted.

*now one must be wondering, how come there's so much fibres? well let's just say my room is never dust free. for example, I wipe the stereo one day, the next day.. the dust has happily settled back to it's normal position*

so after drying me hands, I retrieve the lens case , open it.. retrieve the lens get ready to put the lens into my eye and BAM! I spot a fibre stuck to the lens... I try my best to remove it.. to no avail... so I rinse it with the sterilised stuff... after rinsing all should be well.. Get ready to put it into my eye again... BAM! another fibre! -.-"" after getting rid of that fibre and checking if the lens is inverted or there is a tear I put it onto my eye and feel a pain.... The eye starts to tear.... Quickly remove it... inspect it to see if there are any tears or fibres or if it's inverted... Hmm.. nothing of that matter.... As now my eye hurts like hell, it wouldn't be wise to put it back in yes?

Ok... if all goes well and the lens is happily on my eye... *where it should be, not being soaked in the little case* After about 5 hours or so... the eye feel kinda dry... so since I'm home I remove it... after removing.. I notice that my eye has become redder than before...

So for the sake for my health and my emotional rollercaoster.. I give up wearing contact lenses after 2 months... *boy.. what a horrid 2 months* I think I'm just destroyed my eye's health... sigh.. poor eye... Now what am I going to do with the 8 other contact lenses floating in it's respective case and the solution still intact with it's seal and all waiting happily to be use and the contact lens drop that eagerly awaits the use of the owner?

I wanna sell em.. any buyers??? hahahhahahha I doubt it... But to prove how serious I am about giving up... The solution of SOLOCARE AQUA 360ml goes at RM 20, the ALCON lens drop goes at 15. Both with it's seal still on.. so don't worry.. I'm not too free to reseal it back...

Now the lenses are the tricky part.. who would want them anyway... But.. if U want to try contacts lenses.... and ur power so happens to be 4.25 or 4.50 U can try them at a price... I don't think I can teach U how to put em in though.... So any takers? Oh I hope to sell the 8 pieces of lenses still in thier original condition at 80 bucks for all... *price can be haggled* Heck! if U want the 8 pieces of lenses I'll throw in the solution and the lens drop for free but the price would then be fixed at RM80.

Hahaha... Time to leave... Cheerios.. don't go frustrate urself over some silly matters now

0% Inflation? Pah!

2007-11-11T00:00:00.000+08:00

I read about this somewhere I forgot where, it's either in a magazine or the newspapers which means that most would have read it too... The details are kinda vague to me but the gitsch of it is something like this...

It was an interview with someone *probably a manager or a boss of a company, I forgot*... He was saying: " 20 years ago when I was a fresh graduate, my starting pay was RM1400. Now I pay fresh graduates the same amount."

Imagine that... With everything on the rise... our salary doesn't cahnge at all... It's just stagnant.... how is the darn economy supposed to grow if we can't spend... For 20 years, don't tell me that there ain't no inflation at all.... Imagine, ur parents used to be able to buy a bowl of noodles for RM2 or less.. now.. a bowl of noodles is RM4, that's like a 100% increase, the pay could have went up a little...

Reading what the person said really made me think... what the heck are humans really here for.. *here I go again...*

Asia YEA?

2007-10-31T21:23:00.000+08:00

I feel like joining the "HSBC Young Entrepeneur Awards"... I wonder if I have what it takes... Can I think of any great business ideas? hmmm... Should I join? Maybe I should.. test my abilities eh? see how far I can go? agree? anyone wants to join me?

ehehe.. It's a "team" effort, 2-3 people in a "group"... them prizes are pretty tempting... but I think testing how far an idea can go is much better.... Any takers? Oh the idea submission deadline is 19th December 2007.

P.S. I feel odd posting this here....

Boutique Hopping?

2007-10-28T17:08:00.000+08:00

I was on my way ti ahve lunch when I realised that the place I was heading.. *an area more like* was filled with boutiques... then an out of nature idea / thought came to my mind... "hmmm... I could actually go boutique hopping"

Ahahahha.. wait till that happens... That area is really filled with boutiques, they keep popping up... I wouldn't be surprised if in 10 years time an entire block in that area would be taken up by boutiques...

On a indulgent note... The new "Cornetto McFlurry" is so darn sinful... not to mention kinda pricey... But it's nice... *for me...* very nice... though it melts faster than the original... it's looks very different too... So go try it before it's too late! The spicy Mcnuggets wasn't too my liking though, the texture wasn't very nice. Not much bite to it...

Just a short little update... of sorts.. which doesn't really reflect anything that's going on in my life whatsoever.. but alas.. who cares? except for me.. but then again... oh well.. Cheerios!

P.S. I saw a relatively nice top while.. erm.. "drive through shopping", can't imagine me in one of those though...

Regrets... I've had a few?

2007-10-20T23:48:00.000+08:00

I think I'm starting to have pretty major regrets... regrets about choices that i made about 3 years ago. I think that's why I feel quite depressed lately. I start regretting my choice everytime I see some really cool designs *like Shinichi Ogawa's or even Naoto Fukusawa's*.... sigh.... feel so impressed I feel so inspired.... then I start thinking! Did I make the right decision? Should I have just went with it? and everytime i start thinking about this... I'll just tell myself that I have new goals now & the choice has been made, so just stick with it, there is nothing wrong with this choice. Maybe... just maybe, 10 years from now I'll look back and say "why didn't I get away while I could?" or "Thank goodness I stood by my decision"... Hopefully it's the latter.

Well.. that was one of the regrets.... I've felt that way for about 3 years except that lately it's just been too unbearable especially when some lecturer goes about saying negative things.... feel so helpless.... Another regret is regarding my future. If I had just listened to my parents and went somewhere sodarnnearit'spracticallywalkingdistance... probably then i won't have second thoughts on my future well being.

Can I ask my so unresponsive readers something?
Is an internship more important than finishing one's studies faster?

Cycle to become like China?

2007-10-20T20:24:00.000+08:00

I find cycling to work rather fascinating. There are quite a few countries, mainly the first world countries, promoting cycling to work which I feel is really good... for the congestion and the environment... But I also feel that they are starting to become like the "old" China and China is trying to become like them... *if u don't understand... then....*

I think Malaysia is quite faraway from being able to have a "cycling to work" campaign.
1. It is mighty dangerous with the cars going so fast...
2. There isn't much infrastructure... even for walkers... U walk halfway and the side walks go AWOL... U have to walk on the road.. added danger.
3. Malaysians don't like cycling with protection *myself include* the headgear looks a little funny...
4. it's so hot, by the time u reach ur office, u'll be soaked in sweat even if U were cycling slowly..
5. Where should the bicycles be parked? If an entire company's workers of let's say 50 people, imagine how many lamp posts will have bicycles stuck to them...

That said... I feel like cycling to college.. but then again I'm to lazy to take any action.. hahah by the way, I don't have the gear and the drive to wake up extra early in the morning to inhale carbon monoxide.

P.S. I think I've caught the blogging bug... how many posts in a week?

Disposing Trash

2007-10-17T21:34:00.000+08:00

I think for people to develop the want to recycle, they should first develop the need of disposing of thier garbage more responsibly. If people can't even throw away rubbish, how are they supposed to even recycle the rubbish into the correct bins?

I can bet with u that if u step out of your house and take a walk to the nearest eatery, you are bound to see rubbish that are not supposed to be where they are.

I for one think that people in this country think that bus stops are extra large rubbish bins, cardboard boxes, plastic bags, empty cans and an abundance of bus tickets are commonly found there... Once in a while it'll be clean though. Probably the poor cleaning people need to pick up after the "people", but most of the rubbish are just left to mother nature to be dealt with.

Sigh... poor land.... So I guess I should tell people to start throwing garbage into the designated areas before I tell them to recycle... no?

by the way, something happened on my way to college today. I was at a bus stop, waiting boringly for the bus to make it's grand entrance when I noticed a fellow HELP student. I had seen him before in one of my classes... Don't know him, He sat on the same bench as I did, separated by a metre or 2. He was eating his breakfast, some fried stuff and some fishball that was in a plastic bag, he kinda gobbled through his breakfast and conveniently *I say VERY conveniently* threw the plastic bag behind him like nobody's business.

I was kinda pissed off, I started to look for a rubbish bin. I was contemplating whether to ask the "dude" to pick up the rubbish. Then I saw him taking out a can drink.... so I told myself "if he throws that behind him, I'm so gonna ask him to pick it back up..." He didn't take too long to finish it and again threw it behind him.... I was furious.... but alas.....

I tapped his shoulder and told him, "Can you not litter?*simplified version, i said in mandarin :"Ni ke yi bu yau luan diu la ji ma?" direct translation would be: " can you not simply throw rubbish, which sounds slightly off"* The fella gave me some sort of look, it was between a "what the heck" and "what do u care?" look. he picked it up and threw it in the rubbish bin nearby, and hurried up his bus.... the same bus that I could have took but I didn't cause I didn't want to see him..... geramnya....

hmm.. I think that's about it... Cheerios!

Apologize, Cinta

2007-10-14T17:02:00.000+08:00

Wow another post? I must be really free... hyuk hyuk.. to erm.. state what I want to say... I bet a lot of people have heard the song "Apologize" by "Timbaland feat. Onerepublic". It's a great song! But the original is so much better!! Timbaland only added the beats... oh well... he kinda gave Onerepublic a push up the stardom ladder. so it's good for both teams I guess... Still.. the Original is better! Way better!

Now on a different note... a couple months ago, there was this Malay movie... yes.. Malay movie *I watch Hindi movies, what's wrong with watching Malay movies?* that I wanted to watch.. It was called "Cinta". It's about love.... *cinta =love in malay* there are different kinds of love here, a total of 5 kinds of love here. The stories weren't too long nor were they too short... which is good. However I suspect the tv version had been cut a little... not to mention the colour wasn't very nice *kinda dark* and the sound wasn't very good *kinda muffled* but there wasn't much dialogue either so it ain't half bad.

This film had lots of erm.. professional actors. Sharifah Amani and her mum was in it, Pierre Andre was in it, Fasha Sandha too, *she's pretty* and famous actors which I saw before but cannot recall their names. Yesterday, *Hari Raya hari 1* ntv7 was showing it...

It was a very touching show... thank goodness I didn't make it into the cinema to watch this or my t-shirt sleeve would be soaked with tears.... *how exaggerating* I hope a lot of people saw it... it's a nice show. Well.. I liked it, my "nice" and ur "nice" might be different though.... Hmmm... wonder what other nice shows are there...

Boring? Me?

2007-10-12T17:38:00.000+08:00

I find myself to be a rather boring person. I don't have any particular hobby, I'm not particularly keen on certain things, I don't particularly extremely hate things either. The fence that I've been sitting on has also sagged as well...

I should find a hobby... One that does not involve the computer. Maybe I should join some sort of club to meet new people... But I don't find that I'm that interesting anyway... so even if I meet people, I wouldn't know what to say... "How are you?", "today no class ah?" *hehe*

Oh sigh....... Live is Life... Don't find it very fulfilling... probably this is part of the all important "wait" which I think doesn't exist since one should not wait for things to come but take action and make things happen. But alas all these are just preachings that I don't pray myself.

*note to self: find new things to do*

*note to readers: I think I feel slightly depressed. How do U know if you are depressed eh? Do depressed people think they are depressed?*

P.S. since no one commented... I guess Ti Lung & Jo In Sung don't look alike and my eye sight has gone off

to the question of my day: Absolutely, I think I fulfill the criteria of being an utmost boring person.

Is it just me?

2007-10-08T18:33:00.000+08:00

Is the person in the 2 different pictures one and the same?

*a little thought while I blabber on about my day/ week or whatever gibberish I can churn out*

Anyway my last week was rather dull. Nothing much happened, just the usual go to class, go to work, eat sleep and wait.. something did happen, facebook happened! Come to think of it I think facebook is taking up a lot of my time & it's so darn addictive!!! Argh... I hate U... I guess that's my discplinary problem... I shall minimize my time on it but I always have the urge to log onto it when I receive a mail from them... why? why??

Ok on a slightly less crazier note, I think I'm too free sometimes. Am I? I guess only I'll know. *I shall not elaborate further* I just realised I don't understand the fundamentals of trading shares. So much things to think about, it's like determining a person's fate where palmistry, ur date of birth, the "writings" on your face are read to determine what sort of person U are. Trading shares is that complicating. To me at least.

Ah yes.... Saturday came *and gone* as well. Fairly normal Saturday, but I cooked on that day. wasn't good, kinda bland, a little under cooked, could be better. After a not so satisfying lunch, accompanied my brother to watch an old chinese movie on TV. *ntv7 boradcasts old chinese movies on Saturdays* As I was watching it, I realised something.... and then... we have 2 pictures. Are they one and the same?

The picture again. Look carefully, it's fairly obvious that.....

they are 2 very different people that might be at the same age when teh picture was taken. The person on the left is Ti Lung, the hero in the movie I watched on Saturday. The person on the left is none other than Jo In Sung of "Something happened in Bali" fame. Images of Jo In Sung came into my mind when I kept seeing Ti Lung's face, and he's teh hero so imagine how many times Jo In Sung's image popped into my mind. It's actually quite obvious that they aren't the same person... But I feel like they look a like. No?

Then it is just me.

Plastic

2007-09-29T14:20:00.000+08:00

Since started recycling a couple of months back I've noticed some pretty disturbing things. The whole World revolves around plastic. Everything is practically packaged with plastic. The produce from the supermarket, bread from the bread shop, packs of chocolates, toilet roll.... everywhere U look plastic everywhere!

Rubbish bins laced with plastic bags, lastic bag hanging around on the floor after a picnic.... A lot of this plastic isn't recycled... Imagine how the world will be like, non biodegradable plastic everywhere, this is very bad for the environment.. Soon we might have to wear masks everywhere!

Imagine putting on a mask everytime U go out... No longer can we see each other's smile, imagine kissing someone..... sigh.... So, I would advise everyone reading this to recycle PLASTIC. If U can recycle other things but I feel recycling plastic is much more important. Reduce your plastic usage. Don't ask for extra bags from the hypermarket! I'm not asking to stop using plastic all together. Use it if it's a must, jsut reduce the usage can do a lot of good.

Please RECYCLE PLASTIC!

The Unfinished Piece

2007-09-24T13:22:00.000+08:00

Here's something that I would like to share with my readers.. some "art" and my ability to stop working on things halfway through...

This is "The Unfinished Piece"

Note the intrinsic patterns? Just takes away too much concentration... worst than sudoku... I actually wanted to do this to use for my next skin.. but the scanner can't work now.. so the "project" is kinda abandoned.... The gray lines are pencil marks and the black lines are ink...
Here's a photochopped one which I like among the other filters....

"Plastic Unfinished Piece"

have no idea why I like thsi version the best... I have wierd taste... anyway... I just wanted to post it up to share it... Comment if U want.. not compulsary.. hahaha

KL Pac: Comedy Court

2007-09-23T15:19:00.000+08:00

Got a chance to step into KL Pac on yesterday. What a cool place. I suspect it was formerly a factory though... the space is very factory like, but the whole area, Sentul Park, is really pretty!!! It was night time so couln't really see the true baeuty but it was beautiful at night nonetheless.. They had these wire sofa sets which are pretty amazing but not very comfortable, it's steel what can U expect huh?

Must be wondering what was I doing in KL Pac anyway? Right, to answer that here's a picture... *and if U haven't read the title of this entry*

The tickets to enter... There's a small line of words that states the show.. wonder if U caught it...

Yeap, I went for a Comedy Court's 10th Anniversorry by Indi Nadarajah & Allan Perera. It was an amzaing show... very funny though I couldn't get some of the clips because the audio for some of them wasn't very good. They both have very good voices! Although Allan talked more, thier chemistry was hard to miss. Their impersonations were spot on. Allan with his hat looked a bit like Michael Jackson from the top... hahaha.. wodner if that's a compliment or and insult...

Shall look forward to shows by them... Wonder if I'll still have the chance... The show was well worth the money.. It ended rather late though, was kinda tired after that... So people, U still have the chance to catch it and appreciate Malaysian Comedy at it's best!

Can go to KL Pac's Website or Comedy Court's... *Google them, I don't want to link em.. there are records!*

Cheerios peeps... shall update soon.

Time will tell

2007-09-15T23:09:00.000+08:00

"Only time will tell", what a nice phrase. No? Sigh... now i know why change causes stress *probably also due to the fact that I think too much* I'm trying to be very vague her.. haha too much information ain't good...

Haiyah... if I don't say what changed then I got nothing to blog about already.... cis cis... Ok so On with the show! Had a pact with ZX to do something today, I had a delayed reaction, delayed by about 2 hours.. haha.. anyway... The thought of sticking stuff into my eye is really... scary... or terrifying I dunno.... I'm a very timid person... don't scare me like that...

By the way, I think I look better with specs or maybe I need time to change my perception... and "only time will tell".. haha

I have some "problems" with the contacts.. I think a large sum of my readers wear contact lenses, they could help me with my erm.. questions? or... statements?

1. How do you actually clean the lens? just soak it in the solution ah?
2. Is it normal to see things a little blur? I'm comparing with the specs btw...
3. Is there an easier way to put on and take out the lenses?

Hmm... I think that's about it.... erm.. er... do I have any questions......

4. how do u know if there is a tear in the contacts? Need to scrutinize it?
5. How long does it roughly take for u "the contact lens user to wear ur contacts"? haha

ok.. that's about it.. hope someone could help me.. kakaka ok now.. cheerios! Good Luck for them tests.. people who are taking them..

Should I?

2007-09-12T21:08:00.000+08:00

Taking public transport can really test my moral judgement sometimes.

Should I sit at the place allocated for those in need when there is clearly no one in need?
Should I offer the old man my seat when someone else offered before but he rejected?
Should I tell the lady that sat at my place right after I offered my seat to the pregnant lady to buzz off?
Should I tell the lady with her bag open that a man, who thinks its fun throwing rubbish into people's bag, is throwing things into her bag?

Should I this.. should I that... so should I have done those things? I wonder sometimes.

Should I sit at the palce for the needy until someone needy comes in?

Should I offer the old man the seat again cause he might be tired after awhile...

Should I just let the pregnant lady fend for herself since it wasn't my seat anymore I couldn't do anything with it?

Should I just mind my own business and let that darn man, who threw the stuff, to get away scot free and after that block my way out of the bus when it CLEARLY wasn't his stop... -.-" Idiot...

Sigh... tough decision... maybe next time I'll change my decision if I have a chance. Till then, cheerios!

P.S. Actually I forgot what else I wanted to blog about.. nyahahaha.. so this will suffice.

Food not Money

2007-09-04T23:16:00.000+08:00

What am I doing here??? I'm supposed to be make the best of my opportunities... ok cut to the chase. Do u ever get people coming up to u when ur eating to ask for money? Not the kind that says it's for some charity homes, *some of those might be true, some not so, but they are the most irritating, they NEVER leave even if U wave them away...*, I'm talking begging, normally the older generation.

Today at the eaterie, I saw 2, one while I was lining up and another when I was waiting to leave, *the persistent one, was around when me & me mates left* anyway, both of the begging ones were quite old, the first one, a guy was holding a cup, a thought of pouring water in it... evil.. I know... I was lining up at that time, so he didn't approach me.

The second one was a lady, I would say she could be my grandma but she is younger. She was pretty persistent too, maybe she really needed money. Then I suddenly thought that should I just say to her "Are you hungry? If you are, I'll buy u lunch, but I won't give you money."

But, I didn't ask that.. she left after i ask my mates if I should ask her that... they said "ask lah". Maybe next time when I see the same kind I would do so.... provided I have enough to buy them a meal... 2 ringgit how to buy anything??

Cheerios now! have a good night

Yes? No? I dunno.

2007-08-31T15:52:00.000+08:00

Before I start of with anything I would like to say "Happy 50th Merdeka!" to all Malaysians, even if you are not very patriotic, which I think I fall into that category, do bask in the holiday and enjoy the fact that Malaysia is 50 years old! Man how far we have come... *I'm getting carried away* Anyone bought "New Straits Times" today? They have a really cool copy of the 1957 newspaper which is pretty amazing, though the words are small and the pictures are black and white... it's still very cool!

*Time to bring the topic back to "Yes? No? I dunno."* All right... let me begin by saying, I think I think too much sometimes, my mind seems to like to think a lot, like why is the banana yellow when it's ripe? oh.. why is it yellow anyway? Oh forget.... like when I want to order something... I think for ages... ask tonnes of questions and might not end up eating at the eaterie, this ordering food thing is so complicated that I have " OFE 101" gosh!!!

Now I'm thinking again... *btw, I think every thinks 24/7, or not how do we have dreams?* should I or should I not get a bag... No not the "handbag" though that I'm seriously considering, I'm talking about a backpack, though technically I don't find anything wrong with my present one... -.-"" I think I'm askin for trouble here, anyway... The current one can still carry stuff around and all, the zipper is still workable though part of the zipper head is gone.. and the bottom is developing a little hole in the side, apart from that, alls fine...

On a second thought, I think I should keep using this one till I find a better excuse to get a new one, besides the one I'm eyeing isn't even found here... "D'oh"... Now for more thinking...

Should I or should I not get contacts? Yes? No? I really dunno... I have played with the thought for awhile now, I'm just afraid that my eye might get infected and all, so the safest is use the one day contact lenses, but they are hell expensive *though I don't think going into Hell will cause a bomb, anyway this is besides the point*. Anyway, based on my Trusty mate's opinion, "If U are careful it will most likely be ok"... Ok.. what if I'm not careful? Besides, I'm kinda lazy to clean it and put it on... *What sort of dumb excuse is that huh? so lazy... don't wear lar!*

Argh.. argh.. decisions, decisions! I think I should continue my assignment but I'm too lazy and apparently there's a mid term coming out but I can't find the schedule... ish ish.... So um... should I get contacts? hmmm.... hmmm..... oh on a happier thought.. I got a ..... On a second though, I shouldn't put this here... If U want to know.. ask? I might or might not disclose it... depends on my mood.. wahhahahah

Hmmm is there anything else??? Hmmm.... Ho hum... well that's about it... Oh yes! There will be a "The Sims 2" expansion pack coming out.. though frankly I think I just don't find that very appealing anymore.. I don't know why.... ok then I shall leave now...
Cheerios Readers! Have a nice Holiday!

Independence

2007-08-25T13:32:00.000+08:00

What is Independence?
Uh..... urm..... uh... the freedom to do something? ehehehe

See Merdeka is coming round soon and I don't feel it's true meaning... do U? What is Independence to me? I hardly ever support Malaysian made products! Unless if U count getting on to the Rapid KL as supporting local "products"

Sometimes I wonder what makes me Malaysian?
Is it the fact that I own a MyKad, I was born and bred in Malaysia? These things were automatically given, one need not have to fight for it...

What do I like about my country?
I like the weather, occasionally. Though I yearn for snow... I like the food definitely! hmm.. I like it's rainforests, it's beaches, AirAsia... haha...

What do I not like about my country?
I think this is going to be long.... The fact that we are encouraged to save the Earth but there aren't many recycling centres for us to recycle our stuff in? The fact that the public transportation isn't very effective/ efficient... And some political thing that everyone realises when election is round the corner.... The thing I don't like about our country the most is that, we try to wipe out our history and continue towards the future! What's a country without history eh? I can pretty much bet that by the time 2020 comes, a lot of our historical buildings will be gone and replaced with modern structures. Heck, our history might be only in textbooks, not like school textbooks tell the full story anyway....

So when we are old and frail and our memory wiped out like a clean slate, nothing can evoke the emotions of our own country. Yes, we have the Petronas Twin Towers but it's just like any other tower in the World. We use to have those really cool looking old shophouses that maintained thier front to make it look really old.... I think we still do though... What else do we have? what do we have that can connect something to Malaysia? Jeez I dunno... I think AirAsia is a better picture of Malaysia... haha... oh well...

I'm getting a little nuts.. I don't sense my patriotism, I find it odd that we can have a mass gathering waving our little Malaysia flags in unison or without only when Merdeka is round the corner...

btw, how does one celebrate Independence Day? Thank the higher beings for letting the country to continue be independent, that our country is almost safe from all the major natural disasters and that we still live in Peace because our VERY high level of Tolerance... which I seriously think is the cause for our "tidak apa" attitude...

Oh well, this entry has no sturcture whatsoever... Just typin what I feel like....

To sum it all, I'm not a very patriotic person, as
1. The last time I sang Negaraku was when I was still in secondary school.
2. I listen to the radio that hardly plays Malaysian singers
3. Like I said, I don't support Malaysian goods
4. I don't know what independence means
5. I try avoiding Malaysian made movies
6. I can't wait to get away? and then realise how good Malaysia is and come back...
7. I didn't even bother looking up images to put them in here...

ah... should I post this? should I not? oh sigh..... nvm...

2 "Stars", 2 Dates, 1 Reaction

2007-08-18T21:22:00.000+08:00

Hello Readers! I'm feeling pretty tired right now, something is exhausting me, I think it's the stuff in my brain. Forget about that, let's start with todays topic of the day "2 "Stars", 2 Dates, 1 Reaction".

Star 1
Likes wearing the hoods on hooded jackets
Likes "Usagi"
Likes Japanese Music
Likes to say very "pantang" things
Can be quite scary with her thoughts occasionally
Date: 17th August 2007 for 18th August 2007

Star 2
Likes cute emoticons
Likes checking out the mirror *for what purpose, one should be able to guess now*
Likes to make cute voices *for what purpose? I truly don't know*
Likes moving hands around when talking *very animated*
Almost always meddles with her phone everytime I see her
Date: 18th August 2007 for 15th August 2007

Situation 1:
It was a bright sunny monring, 8 people gathered at a housing estate and slowly approached a house. 1 gallant knight approached the gate, the drawbridge was down. 7 soldiers stayed at the side, out of sight. However; the drawbridge began to rise but went back down again. The soldiers slowly crept to the bridge but one soldier got found out, so the 7 soldiers had to give up and released the cannons. The lady of the castle was awoken by the release of cannons, some cannon balls were too close for comfort. The signature "uh...." was heard from the lady of the castle. Her sleepiness overcame her sense of thought and surprised she was.

Situation 2:
It was a sunny afternoon but dark clouds were threatening to form. 3 archers arrived at the outskirts castle. There were many towers, which one was it. One pointed to the right one, but to be sure one had to find out. The lady in waiting said she would be out *odd.. shouldn't the lady in waiting be waiting?* 2 archers hid beneath the stairs as footsteps were heard. Puzzled looks appeared on the passerby's face. Soon a door was open and a familiar voice was heard. The footsteps approached the 2 archers in haste. Another Archer was waiting in the doorway. Lady in waiting came down and wondered "why are there legs under the stairs?" AMBUSH!!! Surprised? I guess she was.

Gift 1:

Gift 2: "The Colour Picker"

Hope both "Stars" have enjoy thier gifts. Have a nice year! Ain't a teen no more...

U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

2007-08-11T21:00:00.000+08:00

Feeling a little demotivated lately and I don't know why. I have a feeling it's because I feel that time is running out. Running out? What am I suppose to meet that needs urgent attention? I have no clue. I feel like I can't accomplish things that I want to achieve... Oh Life.... *vowed to stop sigh-ing*

Oh well, life goes on and I suddenly feel motivated after typin the paragraph above! Haha.. that's so odd! Hmm let's see what's been happening lately... hmmm.... hmmm....

Ah Yes! I attended a CPA talk today and do U know a song by U2 called "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"? Well I think it's no longer my life's theme song! hahaha I think I've found what I want to do *for now at least, it might change again as my mind is rather fickle* Hmm... so that's about it! I still haven't gotten round to checkin out bags though a bag that I saw in Langkawi is sold here *saw it last week*, though I doubt I'll get it...

Oh Right, jsut a short update.... no "elaborate" "special" entry today... Cheerios!

OFE 101

2007-08-02T21:37:00.000+08:00

I just picked up this new subject, OFE 101. It's a wierd subject, "Ordering Food Etiquette 101".. who needs to know how to order? Jeez, u just point or say whatever U want and u get it after a couple of minutes or so.. SO why did I pick this subject up? Well... to teach all fellow readers Robbstar "Ordering Food Etiquette 101". That's right! I'm gonna teach U how to order food just like yours trully, Robbstar... hahah

So without further ado let's begin!
Chapter 1: Ordering Fast Food

You *can be with or without friends* enter, line up and browse the menu shown above the heads of the cashiers. Squint your eye as the menu's backlight is a little bright and the colour of the menu is too contrasting... Deliberate between Value Meal 3 & 4 *can be any 2, whicever you prefer* and when the cashier says "Good Afternoon / Good Night / Good Morning" Tell her U want Value Meal 5 *can be any value meal that wasn't in consideration before*, oh and tell them U don't want coke but Sprite *or any other drink that's to your liking*....

Chapter 2: Ordering Food at a new Restaurant which has a host or hostest *new restaurant meaning one that you ayhve never been to, therefore new to U*

Part 1: Wait for the host or hostest to bring You *with or without company* to your table. Always ask for the seat that the host or hostest didn't bring you to, unless of course if the table given to you is too tempting to reject! Sit down and skim through the menu, roughly estimating the number of pages. If you have company, comment on the number of pages the menu has, ie. "wah! this menu so thick." 'Why the menu look so... one kind one?" Do comment on the pictures in there as well, ie "wah this one looks nice! *while pointing eagerly and showing companion* "why the pictures look so unappetising one..." "wah! see also want to eat!" *If you have noticed, the word "WAH" further exaggesrates things*

Part 2: Fight with yourself over what dish and drink to order. Get the waiter/ waitresses attention and ask her, "what's good here?"
All good waiters & waitresses would say "everything is good!"
A smart waiter /waitress would say "it depends on what one likes, what do you like?"
A very brave waiter/ waitress would say "Honestly speaking, if you looking for good food, you are at the wrong place because we only serve EXCELLENT food here." *i haven't come across one like this yet*

As the answers are almost never satisfactory you ask a different question "what would u recommend?" Let the waiter / waitress tell you the chef's recommendation etc etc... then explain, "I don't eat beef" *or any eating preferences* Waiter/ waitress goes "oh, then........ la la la...." U go "I see....." Then always order a dish that the waiter/ waitress recommended, we wouldn't want a bad experience now would we?

Next we head to ordering drinks... Now certain rules apply
1. Choose anything that seems nice *try not to order the tried and tested, you are in a new place, try something new for goodness knows sake*
2. if you are on a budget, don't pick the most expensive, if you are not, choose as you please... If you are flat broke and don't fancy any special drinks to compliment your meal, ask if the restaurant serves plain water...
3. Now the following rule is a must.
As a restaurant with a host or hostest would definitely have fanciful drinks made of a certain amount of juices or even delightfully refreshing cocktails. Ask what this "mixed up" drinks are made of.... Of course if it's already written down, don't be an arse and ask again... After this choose whichever U fancy or.... pick one that isn't a "mixed up" drink, cause the "mixed up" drink jsut made u more confused than ever...

Chapter 3: Ordering at kiosks
In this instance, my understanding of kiosks that sell food or beverages are those that suddenly pop out of the usual shop unit and seems out of place one way or another, they might seem in place, but when it's disappeared, you don't even realise that there was even a shop there before...

Again like in Chapter 1, analyse the menu above the cashier/cook's head.

Part 1: For food
Struggle a little and choose the most tempting of the menu. Announce your order to the cashier/ cook then pause a little and ask "Nice ah?". The cashier / cook would generally say, yeah but if you encounter an honest one, he or she would say "not bad lar, but I prefer the other one" You consider the other one and say "Ok lar.. I take that"

Part 2: For beverages *smoothie bar, juice bar*
Ask what are in the menu's beverages if it's not listed in the menu. Ask for a recommendation. Try to accept the cashier/ barista's recommendation... pay and happily enjoy the drink / smoothie or ice cream or whatever...

That is almost the end of the course, there are a few odd ends that need to be answered first
1. Beverage is included in OFE 101 because a good companion of Food is Drinks!
2. OFE 101 is to give a little insight into how the Robbstar orders, one need not follow, it's at best an odd ordering guide...

Summary of this 3 chapter course
1. If you are unsure, always ask.
2. Be curious
3. Always accept the recommendation of the person working there.
4. Always deliberate while ordering

Now after reading the summary, 3 questions will pop up...
1. The first summary doesn't need further questioning so there are no questions..

2. Why must I be curious?
Easy, by being curious, u open up yourself to new things. You get to know what are a restaurant's specialties, what certain beverages are made of.

3. Why must i accept other people's recommendation? Can't I make my own?
You can make your own, but it's riskier that way.... To enjoy one's first encounter with a restaurant, it's better to taste the tried and tested, these dishes would normally be the best, IF the waiter / waitress was a good one to start of with. If the experience wasn't satisfactory, you can always vow to "never return" because of poor recommendation and no one can blame you.

4. Why must I deliberate while ordering? That is so wierd...
By deliberating, you show ur uncertainty, and when the waiter or waitress or whoever that was serving you picks up on this signal would lead you into the direction that enables you to have a wonderful consuming experience.

With that, OFE 101 has ended, there wouldn't be any test, by commenting, one would get an A+ and free from anymore ordering qualms *LOL*

The Simpsons....

2007-07-28T22:38:00.000+08:00

Da da da da da da da... da da... da. What an iconic theme song... Saw The Simpsons today and it was nice! LOL kinda nice.. hahahha i wouldn't mind watching again to catch all the "jabs" again... hahahha *btw I won't be doing a review*

I think i'm liking something even more... sigh.... $$ don't fly away..... I think ECO101 thought something pretty important, lesson being "With more income, people spend more". SO true...

I find The Curve Bazaar has quite a number of interesting things. Anyone wants to go?

Oh ah since today was the "CIMB Malaysian Open Final" I think... don't really know what it's called but it was held at The Curve and I was thinking "I didn't know The Curve had a squash court, do they?" I found my answer today! They do have a squash court!! it's a makeshift one but I feel it's pretty cool! It's in the middle and the court is all glass.. so cool.. didn't get a picture of it though... haha

Ah I also played pool today, a first after almost 10 years? The person I played with was a freaking pro.... like woah.... I think somethings do have beginners luck... I think I noticed something today but I'm not sure... wonder if anyone can rectify this... and I have someone in mind to rectify it for me... *cough* secret recipe *cough*.. i wonder if that just made sense... all well..

I think i'm attracted to more colourful things these days too... I dunno why... did the world suddenly have so many colours? wahahahhaha Ok, to sum it all... GO WATCH "THE SIMPSONS"!!!

Window? Phone?

2007-07-22T22:30:00.000+08:00

Is this a window or a phone? I can just say that it's helluva phone no? but it's not a real phone though, just a concept... It's called "Tarati" & was actually inspired by the word "touch", therefore; instead of keypads, it has holes for us to interact with, there a concept behind this. To dial, we pass our fingers through the holes... pretty cool... It looks like a window or some sort of building... but it's still really cool!

It's designed by Branko Lukic for "nonobject", a book out towards the end of the year... The concept behind the design can be found here.

Alas it's only a concept, it might take a long time for it to be usable, wonder if any concept cars were produced... hmmm...

20.07.2007

2007-07-20T20:07:00.000+08:00

Ah the time has arrived and the once in an entire lifetime number has appeared! I didn't do anything that was particularly memorable/ special to commemorate this fateful day, which means I didn't go rock climbing, kayaking, had a makeover or even jump out of a plane.... BUT it was quite a meaningful one. For me, it would be the most meaningful. :)

Had a little surprise waiting for me in the morning with a makeshift cake, had a surprise outside the cinema's toilet *it was that or in the cinema... omg... I will blush till the next day... hahaha*

Watched "Invisible Target"

and Surpise! Surprise! It was really entertaining! I actually think it's better than "Transformers", yeah U read right... It was quite a typical story line actually, one could roughly guess what was going on, but the direction was really nice, I actually felt like I was experiencing events at the same time the characters on screen were... Very nice! If it were split into 6 parts, it would be 3 parts Action, 2 parts Comedy and 1 part Drama. Good stuff... I actually kinda liked Jaycee Chan's role... hahah very goody... hahah oh, he looks A LOT like Jackie Chan... but i think Jaycee is cuter... hahahah oh the main bad guy was pretty cute too... lol... I didn't catch his name though... * oh wait, I found out it's Wu Jing, his pic below...*

I think i detoured a little, never mind there should be more detours... This day had a few firsts too, I went to Bar-B-Que Plaza *I have no idea how it's spelled*, it was quite a long eating process, and i asked quite a number of silly questions, hahaha but the food was ok, the sauce was nice too... *omg, my fav song is on! lol* At the restaurant, I also experienced a first regarding service. I would say it was bad or anything, but the server's attitude was little off? depends on how one sees it, but I think she was a little too playful? Didn't work for me though, I'm a more reserved person, so work your charm elsewhere, I was just felt it really odd.

I mean have u ever encontered a situation where the server takes your cup to refill your drink, U look up at the person and the server goes *this might be a bad translation* "What? you don't want is it?" I said "er... no need lar" *i kinda thought she was joking* Then she actually continued saying "So U want or not?". I was like "No, no need, I don't want" then she kinda gave me a look and said "ok lor" and walked off... ODD.... There were other situations too, I don't want to.... oh what the heck..

I just recapped the second "episode", the first was when she asked us for our student id's, then everyone was kinda lazy to take theirs out... then she said "no one want to give then no discount ah" I kinda asked the Coffeeholic to take hers before, but I dunno what got into me so I attempted to take mine too, the Coffeeholic was faster than me, then the waitress went "so slow, people faster than U lor"... er ok...

3rd episode, while bringing the cake, she wanted to take the cheque book, I stopped her and said we haven't paid yet, *if you are wondering why the cheque book was there, the people there though we wanted the bill, -.-"" and made a little round to show it to us... -.-"* She said, "Huh? haven't paid yet ah?" with a really are u kiddin me look. All it all, quite a weird shop hahahah ok next...

Kinda walked around the mall after, I don't seem to be able to find a bag that I really like, maybe I'm just not looking hard enough or maybe the theory of "what U want U can't find, but what U don't want just pops up everytime!" Soon them mates left one by one and it was "time to say goodbye"... I collected my last paycheck from my previous work... It felt a lot, I dunno, I forgot how hard I worked... Bought Lee Hom's Cd... more on that later...

Another first today would be, I met a girl who lived in Britain her entire life but has very little British slang... she even speaks cantonese... wow... She's my mum's primary Best Friend's daughter... I think i actually look her age... about 4 years younger than I am... hahahha.. interesting this..

Another first would be listening to Lee Hom's newest album for the first time. I would say it is the best so far.. haha in his 2 previous albums I skipped a few songs, this album is unskippable, to me... nice nice.. I like it.. Especially the beats... nice stuff... 3 thumbs up!!! Oh and he's kinda into the environmental stuff too considering the minimal packaging and his list of things to save the environment.. nice!

What other firsts could there be? hmmm... Oh yes! I actually drove at night! hahah for quite a short distance though... "for a person that has gotten her license for a long time and only driving now is pretty bad" It's quite different, it's kinda hard to see the white stop line.... anyway....

To top the "day" it rained a little.. and you know what happens when it rains? "I'm only happy when it rains" hahaha It was only for a short while though...

I think I'm beginning to grasp the concept of birthdays, it's not what U do, but who you spend it with.... as long as one has good comapny, a birthday cannot go wrong... :) apart from that today will be the most meaningful cause along the way as I was trying to figure out what I was trying to do, I realised that the things that I wanted to do wasn't so powerful to coerce myself to do it, I managed to figure out that life isn't just about yourself but also other people, so I gave back a little to the community. *I didn't volunteer, I don't think I'm at that stage yet, I wonder if I ever will be" I actually did it without my mum forcing me... that is so odd... I think I'm changing...

I did another thing that I always wanted to do but just never got round to doing it... I applied to donate my organs actually pledge, cause I won't be donating it yet... :D I feel glad that I actually did though my Dad kinda protested, why? I have no idea.... It was quite scary filling in the form though.. hahaha especially the part where it said which organ U would like to donate.. hahaha.. SO if U want to pledge your organs or know more about pledging them, click here

And since this 20.07.2007 thingy has things to do with numbers.. what what happening to me at exactly 20:07, on 20.07.2007? I fired up my mp3 player and played the next song on the list and miraculously it was a song titled Happy Birthday in Chinese... I didn't even realise it was 20:07 till I checked out what time it was... hahaha

So it was a Good 20.07.2007! I finished typing this before 12 am!

Oh My G-O-S-H!

2007-07-15T01:12:00.000+08:00

Oh My gosh.... * i hardly use god... i think* I just found out my favourite "wonder" *Dashboard Confessional" was in the iphone ad... hahahha it's a really quick glide through the albums part... so just a little glimpse.. still........ its so cool.... nyaahhaha

ok i think I'm a little off from all that "thinking"... time to snooze.. gnite world!

Thinking too much

2007-07-14T11:28:00.000+08:00

I think I think too much sometimes, U think? There are so many questions that need to be answered, but yet so many unsatisfactory answers....

Q: What is the purpose of us, humans, being here?
A: Gosh, no one knows!
A: To see how long it takes to destroy Earth
A: We are test subjects for more superior beings, they want to see how long it takes for us to take each other out.
A: to get born, get married, reproduce & die.

Q: Wouldn't life be meaningless if U don't know why ur here for in the first place?
A: Why are U being so depressing? get away from me! *that's what my bro said, -.-"" *
A: why are U thinking like that? When I was ur age I never thought about these things...

Q: Don't U want to know why ur here?
A: Silence....

Q: So we just live our lives not knowing what we are here for then die, then most probably get reincarnated back into the very same place that we didn't know our purpose was for?
A: *close ears* don't spread ur depression to me.

*Fwoosh* There goes my questions about life.... sigh....

More thinking to come. *Answered by myself.. -.-"*

Q: Since Earth is at some corner of the Milky Way and the Milky Way has quite a lot of "corner's" isn't there a possibility of the same kind of intelligence at the other corners?
A: Well probably, maybe we are in some sort of competition to see who can live on Earth the longers huh?

Q: Could the other planets in our Solar System use to habitat life?
A: Why not? anything can happen... probably all the resources were used up, and they slowly died away... End of civilisation, unless some of them got to travel to earth and start again.. explains the Pyramids no?

Q: Why do we need to have Currency?
A: Are U kiddin me? No currency they'll be chaos! who's gonna work?

Q: why have the concept of work then?
A: No work then everyone will be like U thinking of all these crappy questions...

Q: In what way are my questions crappy? Government wants thinkers not followers *why aim I fighting with myself? *
A: pass

Q: How did humans evolve to become so heartless? Stealing, Killing, other "jahil" stuff...
A: Because of the 7 deadly sins... nyahahah

Q: If it were the end of the World tomorrow, what would U do?
A: Haha, funny there won't be an end to the World. Besides, when the end comes we're all gonna die so why do more stuff?

Q: Why are there so many diseases? We don't read about them in the older civilations..
A: Dear naive little girl, must they report everything in the history texts? Besides I don't think they even knew they were different diseases that were killing them...

Q: Why must we evolve? can't we just live like monks? eat on leaves, comunicate with body language?
A: sigh.... did U not read science, we evolve to figure out who we are, what we are.

Q: but it doesn't answer why we are here, do you think anyone knows why we are here?
A: Maybe, maybe not.. probably Nostradamus did... I wouldn't know... Maybe if we had a "Big Deep", like in "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" we would know huh?

Q: So, Ultimately why are we here?
My Answer: I have no idea, probably when I finally realise why I'm here it'll be too late to change anything or even worst, I might not ever find out why I'm here. I however find solace in the fact that there are similar people in this situation, maybe they haven't thought about it yet maybe they already did, whatever it is, this question cannot be answered in just a short sentence, probably when one finds out, one becomes enlightened like "Siddharta Gautama", as for now, I don't know what I'm here for but someday I'll know. I hope...

Contest Crazy

2007-07-07T07:07:00.000+08:00

I think I've suddenly gone mad... wait... I think I already was.... oh well... As it's the country's 50th "Anniversary" there are contests EVERYWHERE!!!! Like I mean everywhere! *everywhere in my terms is places where I come in contact with* These contests offer A million bucks, houses, cars, mp3 players, handphones, concert tickets, cold hard cash and so forth and so forth....

Since I'm being mad and all, I want to join them all!!! Yes ALL!!! *ok maybe not all... cause I don't see myself buying a kg of Jati rice just to win a contest, though they are offering a million bucks if I'm not wrong... *where do these companies find a million bucks to give away?* Though that sounds quite sensible now that I think of it, a bag of Jati rice to win a million bucks.. that is a mighty incentive for just a bag of rice no???

Ah!! but for ALL these contests there is ALWAYS a catch somewhere... some require pure luck, some require very impressive creativity & and some are just contests that just rewards the well to do. But since I'm contest craxy at the moment I need to think of all the slogans I can come up with, pray that I get the best luck among the contestants that join the contest that requires pure luck and... and.. JOIN MORE CONTEST!!!

Since I'm such a "kind" soul, I shall state a couple of contests, big or small, & it's catch!
- The Star : Pure luck
- Telekom: Super impressive creativity
- Petronas: Creativity & effort
- MTV: Pure luck
- Jati Rice: I have no idea....

Most of the contests around requires slogans, which means either U impress the judges or not... so I guess it's a case of luck too cause some judges might like it some might not? gosh... this entry is so odd....

Oh well... time to run off, I noticed I haven't played my Sims for awhile... by the way, if there are any contests around that I might be able to join, do tell me... I want to win everything... even a buck.. hahahha Oh.. hope everyone enjoyed 07.07.07... hmm i shall state that I posted this at 0707 hours.. kakaka... what a cheat..

More than meets the eye

2007-07-05T20:00:00.000+08:00

I finally watched "Transformers"! It's a pretty entertaining movie. Keeps U entertained at least, not too much about them robots and not too much about the love story. My favourite part was *spoiler in next line* when the "crappy Camarro" changed into a darn cool Camarro.... *spoiler ends* Anyway it was an enjoyable movie definitely a must watch this "Summer" though the movie I'm really waiting for is "The Simpsons" but still this is a must watch. I enjoyed it eventhough I couldn't differentiate between the good and the bad at times... especially when they were fighting. I only remember Optimus Prime and Megatron.

After, "we", Coffeeholic & I, had lunch at Paddington's Pancakes. They had this Set Lunch offer that enticed us but in the end we didn't order the set lunch... hahahhaha we had Treasure Box

and a really cheesy dish.... oh... the sin... the sin....

After that went "whindow shopping", actually it was more, "enter, touch, flee" shopping. *meaning: enter a shop, touch here touch there, buy nothing & leave* There were some shops with interesting stuff... Cineleisure itself has some shops that sell interesting T-Shirts. There was this kiosk that sells T-Shirts with catchy phrases.... I liked one... but.... maybe some other day....

There was a particular shop that sold pretty nice stuff... Pretty special to me too.. wanted to get this handphone cover... but something else caught my eye.... but..... maybe some other time...

Bought doughnuts from "Big Apple" apparently they are really good. Should have bought 6, but I fear my family won't be able to scoff it all. Saw lots of interesting bags that are pretty out of budget... hahahha oh well.. someday.... so that was my day....

Oh! before I forget... I received something today!

A notebook? A Diary? An Organizer?

Nah... it's a wallet... A really early birthday present too... teehee.... I love it too which is great.... Now.. when shall I use it? hmmm....

Ah time to flee... Cheerios!

P.S. Thank U for the wallet YOU! hehe

An Affair with The Sun

2007-06-30T15:06:00.000+08:00

The affair started at Black Sand Beach, Langkawi.

The boats awaiting the end of the rendezvous.

Due to unforseen ciscumstances, the rendezvous was ended abruptly but was promptly continued at Tanjung Rhu Beach, Langkawi.

does the little island remind U of Pacman?

The end of a brief affair. Another affair is about to start.

Alas, it is only a one time thing. Ceiling of Gallery Perdana, Langkawi.

Living under a shell?

2007-06-29T22:51:00.000+08:00

Staring at these 4 walls,

I can't feel anymore.

So much space for movement,

yet I feel such confinement.

No doors, no windows,

just me sitting here with a small halo.

Everything anyone can ask for,

appears in a speed I have never experienced before.

Oh! Such a luxurios room!

Yet... in my mind a question pops out like a shroom.

"Wall oh so tall,

what lays behind thee, oh mighty wall?"

Moments to Remember

2007-06-24T16:39:00.000+08:00

I noticed I haven't blogged about a movie in a while, probably due to the fact that I am not a very good reviewer and that I haven't had teh mood to catch up on movies or because the due to the fact that reviews are hard to write? My fav is the il mare one.. hahahha... ok cut things short. Just finished watching another sad movie. Yesterday I saw "Happy Birthday" touching but sad too... But I won't be blogging bout that cause I couldn't find a decent picture?

Today I shall review "A Moment to Remember"

Yeap it's a korean film. I'm crazy enough to obtain em but too lazy to watch them... *click play also lazy...* I initially wanted to watch a different movie but this show won over cause it's already quite old and I wanted to watch Son Ye Jin... hahaha... *the other one had Moon Geun Young*

Ok I just typed a long paragraph of a synopsis that I just deleted cause that wasn't what I want cause it's better to not know the full story of a movie. No? Ok let's begin. The movie had typical everyday characters, people that one wouldn't notice on an everyday basis. The relationship was kept simple and nice. The characters were also well developed. Both the actor & the actresses carried thier roles well. One a man of a sad past and another, a person that seems so forgetful. But fate is a strange thing and strange things happen in movies that makes it all so touching & saddening at the same time. The movie deals with the sadness of being stricken with a kind of sickness, one that leaves U feeling so lost and that is so sad to watch.

Eventhough I knew the storyline beforehand *the twist & all, cause a little bird told me... * I still feel sad... maybe cause my tearducts like doing overtime... It was a nice show from the beginning to the end. This I like... though generally I accept a lot of movies except really crappy ones.....

So I know this wasn't a good review but I like picking favourite scenes... So here goes...
Favourite scenes (Sad or happy, I wouldn't say which was which):
- Su Jin (Son Ye Jin) & Chul Soo (Jung Woo Seong) at the Batting cage.
- Chul Soo foiling a snatch thief's escape
- Su Jin in Chul Soo's car.
- Su Jin remembering the first time she met Chul Soo
- Chul Soo & Su Jin seeing a plot of land Chul Soo was eyeing.
- Chul Soo telling Su Jin the inspiration behind the design of the house.
- Su Jin trying the smoothen a piece of wood.
- Chul Soo reading Su Jin's note at the table.
- Su Jin irritating Chul Soo to meet her parents...
- Su Jin arriving at the Family Mart and asks Chul Soo if it was heaven. - Su Jin drinking "her" coke. - Chul Soo drinking "his" coke. - The way Su Jin reacts when she sees Chul Soo in the lift - Su Jin snooping around Chul Soo's car. - Chul Soo's wood carving. - Chul Soo alone in the batting cage.

A long list it is... i wanted to add more but only those that seen it will know which scene it was so basically this entry is like a "syok sendiri" post. SO if ur up for a little tear duct action go ahead and watch this movie. I give it 2 thumbs up. I would give it 3 if only I had 3 thumbs... hahaha

P.S. This week readers get a "double whammy". 2 post in a week. Back to back too! P.P.S Incidentally, "A Moment to Remember" will be shown this Saturday.. hahaha

Still living in the 90's

2007-06-23T22:25:00.000+08:00

Just finished watching "Happy Birthday" What a touching movie.... *sob**sob* Still got tears in my eye... hahhaha

I shall skip details and continue with my main topic. It begins with a question. The question being:
What does Jimmy Ray, O-Town, Backstreet Boys, Martika & Natural have in common?

Answer 1: They no longer have musical careers? *dek..........*
Answer 2: They have hits in the 90's! *dek......*
Answer 3: Their albums can be found in cash converters? *ding....*

Absoulutely right!!! Contestant #3 gets 100 points! *lol*

I was actually tempted to get one of em.. but it's erm.. I dunno... the warranty is only for 3 days... scary... 9 bucks each. I wonder if it's worth it... but it feels so odd to own a used cd, it might be scratched or something.

Oh yeah I guess people would be wondering why I'm at cash converters in the first place. Fact: bored worker on lunch break has nothing else to do. Snoops around Cash Converters for entertainment purposes. hehe... Was looking for 911 but... *i don't know why too, I had nothing else better to do* i only scouted 2 walls so maybe it's there. Ah.... I saw some other interesting albums also but I don't think i'll end up buying.

So that's it... Oh I'm kinda disappointed I didn't get any feedback for the last entry.... I was waiting for... "A Makeover? Hell Yeah! U need one!" *lol* or even "what? that's ur ideas ah? so boring one...." Oh well I shall think more but I think I misplaced my thinking cap.

Is it here yet?

2007-06-16T21:23:00.000+08:00

A blink of an eye and we're already 6 months into 2007. I still remember typin in my first entry for this year about 20.07.2007 and I should think of ideas to do on that day and a couple of entries ago I stated that I figured out what I planned to do on 20.07.2007 but, in actual fact I haven't really done so... I have a couple of ideas though.

*the ranking does not show any preference what so ever*

#1: Go Kayaking at Putrajaya Lake
- I've always wanted to go but the distance puts me off. Besides who am I supposed to go with?

#2 : Rock Climbing at Camp5
- I think i made agreements with people to do this but I jsut never brought myself to go there and actually climb. hahah how dumb considering it's so darn near. -.-"

#3: Have a complete makeover
- this was the new one I figured out a couple of entries ago. But where will i get the money to have a total makeover?

#4: Throw a huge party *small one would do too*
- now let's see. location? cost? food? "invitees"?

#5: Go to work, stay at home, celebrate with family and enjoy the comforts of my home.
- apart from the going to work part that's what I do every year.. maybe go school or something... so.... why change tradition? hahahha

Ok that's 5.... i have horrible ideas... cause I'm a boring person.. sigh.... Actually I''m kinda keen on #3... wahhahaha.... I blame Jaclyn. Reasons being.. I can't tell.. it's a long story.... but cost is... maybe that's why I'm working huh? hahaha... I'll most probably end up at #5 though... but I plan on getting a day off... so I'll probably just sleep through the whole day... kakkaka

K enough is enough. I had nothing much to blog a bout and I had to blog about this cause I'm pretty bored and it's like about a month till that fateful day and I still ahve no idea what to do.. sad ain't it...

Here's to you, Mother Earth.

2007-06-08T23:28:00.000+08:00

Dear Mother Earth,

As it is the month of your "Birthday", Mother Earth *World Environment month*, I shall proclaim on this very fine day *sadly not on World Environment Day* that I, ***, loves thy Mother Earth!

Sadly this is only in words as my actions does not speak strongly enough as I
1. Waste water
2. Waste Electricity *the computer just runs and runs and thankfully it hasn't suffered from burnout*
3. Do not recycle *though i sell away my old newspaper*

4. uses tonnes of plastic bags
5. Accelerates way too much, but don't move far
6. Like my air conditioning super cold and shiver in the morning and complain "Why is it so cold?"
7. Do not have my own shopping bag *the thought of bread mixing around with socks just doesn't appeal to my mind* *maybe not yet*
8. I do not make my own compost
9. I prefer moving around in the luxuries of a car
10. I like buying non local stuff and thus cause you to suffer more tremendous pain.

So Mother Earth, I know I haven't been behaving very well and you have the right to dislike me even if I still adore your Natural Beauty that just ages so well at your age, not to say that you are old or anything, it just gets more and more beautiful with time, it's just that "your children" just don't appreciate your beauty and certain wounds have been cut and the scars are still there.

You are also getting angrier, day by day you get hotter and one day I fear your "explosion" I hope I won't see it as I fear it might be a terrible sight to behold. Now as it is your "birthday" I shall list down a few things that I intend to do to please you and maintain your "soon to be not so" eternal beauty.

1. When I get older I shall choose to carpool or take public transport or enjoy long walks or short cycles should the opportunity arises
2. I shall one day own a environmentally friendly house that is self sustainable
3. I shall reduce the amount of plastic bags given to me by shop workers.
4. I shall reduce the amount of water and electricity I spend *by how much I dunno, I can't even tell if I spent more or less*
5. Recycle more than my old newspapers *plastic! you are next!*

I shall see you more often dear foreign looking bins!

I know the "to do" list is shorter but it will help your health tremendously so please accept my peace offering.

your very sorry child,

Robbstar

p. s. pictures taken from various sites that I failed to cite... do forgive me....

p.p.s. wouldn't it be nice if one day all cars except public transportation are banned from moving? That is if the public transportation network is super efficient. Oh Well....

Beijing Olympics Volunteer Programme?

2007-06-02T22:36:00.000+08:00

Beijing Olympics here I come?

I so want to volunteer but am I capable? what can I get out of it? gee... I dunno? One hell of an experience that can be brought to my grave? An experience like no other? A once in a lifetime opportunity; yet I'm trying to talk myself out of it!

Why you ask?
Why there are quite a number of things to address.

First, there's the money involved.
Not everything is about money but in this case, IT IS! Volunteering means U don't get paid no? so one ahs to pay for the return flight, the accomodation and the food too. Considering it would be a Super super peak season come the Beijing Olympics I don't expect the chinese *myself included though I'm not part of China* to be particularly generous when it comes to earning money. So expensive tickets, doubly expensive accomodation *this might be solved if one can actually stay in University hostels or some sort of homestay* and food. *this money factor can be solved to if one can get some political association to sponsor part of it considering they are urging Malaysians to volunteer. Teehee...*

second, the security.
Should I go alone me parents would be worried sick! Though it's only 14 days, but still. Actually I'm the one that feels it won't be very safe. A blur kid wandering around in a strange city with unknown surroundings is pretty darn dangerous don't U reckon?

thirdly, the loneliness?
I find myself hard to fit it but it's all teh mind so if I want to I can? But if you are going alone and suddenly all volunteers break out in fantastic "olden day" mandarin I'll be a goner! So it would be nice if one actually goes with a mate but that would be some what hard no? *can be solved by bringing my super outgoing nature which might still be hidden in me somewhere*

forth, my studies
Yeah as studious as I sound, studies are important too. The olympics would be in August and there would be a conflict of interest considering my studies would be on and all... so another tough call... *this can be fixed by delaying my studies, but again money is important!*

See that's how one talks one out of something, now to talk myself back in... hahhaa

1. The "great" experience!
2. Meet new people
3. I have no idea..... A super experience.... is attending the olympics considered as a good thing?

Another thing that I may add is even if I want to volunteer, they might not accept my application. Should I just apply anyway or trash this "idea" into the bin?

Urgent need of HELP!

P.S. I found out what I should do on 20.07.2007.

Ending's Beginning

2007-05-31T20:15:00.000+08:00

I'm here tapping away at this black keyboard thinking of what to type next while enjoying nibblets of the "godiva choccies" from Singapore which is yet to finish itself off... Didin't blog for so long then got people complain pulak... sigh... I too tired to watch tv and U expect me to type? hahaha

Right right.. today was the final day of my "sales assistant" stint... I didn't like it... at first.... after telling the manager that I was quitting, I kinda embraced the job though... odd eh... Probably cause I didn't really care anymore and they eased off the pressure and I started fitting in? I took too long to fit in... i think that's the reason why I left... Anyway... I'm gonna start a new job next monday hopefully it goes well... By the way, what is smart casual?

So many movies to wach so little time! Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, Pirates 3, *what's with the number 3?* Oh I'm quite interested in "priceless" too... the one with Audrey Tatou, it looks nice. Anyone? Gotta catch this fast or they'll take it down... sad eh?

I'm trying to recall if I had seen Spiderman 2 though... Oh speaking of which, 1U had this meet Spiderman event which jsut ended yesterday and everyday the host kept asking the same questions.... the most popular was "who is spiderman's best friend?" and "who is spiderman's other superhero friend?" then the hsot would give tips and all and the crowd still didn't get it... I wonder if the dude gets bored cause he did the questions like a week plus... Oh another fav is "how much is a ticket to take your picture with spiderman?" and would U believe it cost 15 bucks to take it with "spiderman".

Ok enough bout that... what else is new eh?? OH! OH!!!! I still have no idea what to do on 20.07.2007.... I thought maybe rock climbing or kayaking at the putrajaya lake... hmmm but it sounds.. hmmm....

Oh oh I read in the papers in the other day where some minister wanted malaysians to volunteer for the Beijing Olmpics 2008... I'm kinda interested but... wonder how's my schedule... plus the air fare and other stuff... hmmm shall look for more info...

Oh btw Carl's Junior is gonna open an outlet in 1U, next to Dave's Deli... can't wait.. hahahaha k I shall try to figure out how to make space for my Sims 2 Seasons... I know it's been so long... cheerios now!

P. S. Anyone for "Priceless" do tell me...

Sick of JT

2007-05-19T23:08:00.000+08:00

The workplace looped JT for the first 2 days... I was alreayd sick of it when it was in it's first loop *correction, I was already sick of it when i heard the first single... hahahha*. Plus the outside was playing JT too... -.-"

Ok so far... I think my work experience isn't as good as I think it should be. Sigh... don't feel like talking about it here.... It's just very different from the waitressing days. I feel so LOST here... Feels like I'm not cut out for this kind of work, waitressing seems so much better now, the grass is greener on the otherside but when U crossover to the otherside U might feel that U were colourblind in the first place. oh well I shall "March On" like what Good Charlotte says... hahahhaha seriously it's a very nice "marching on" song especially the chorus.

I just gotta work faster? I have no idea.... I shall stay as long as I can... I hate failing so fail I shall not.. anyway I'm there for experience.. so the more experience I get the better.... I shall learn as much as I can but my absorption skills left me when I needed it the most... *cue for karaoke - just when I needed U most*

Gotta work faster 2morrow... faster in what sense I dunno. As long as I want to I can *i think, well it applies to everyone no?*

Oh well this is a little "mandatory" update. I had great vacations so now I need to work very hard but I dunno what very hard is, I only know that my feet hurts, not to mention the odour *ee-yuk, ok not something readers should know* I need more comfy shoes I think, or a way to make it more breathable...

Ah had a bbq yesterday and was quite a new bbq experience.. hahahhaha more like a bbq bake... all the food was great, company too, spot too, though it was raining a little. sadly we were too full to roast the marshmallows... Irregardless, there will always be next time!

alas, I shall leave now to seek some precious moments with my pillow and assorted stuff on thy glorious bed... hehe

- difficulty in socialising is a restraint

Kuantan
- shall not over indulge
- too much food ain't good
- ASTRO ain't good on weekends

Langkawi
- sometimes things look scarier than it seems
- I get easily irritated
- I'm pretty crabby
- crabby most of the time
- alcohol cheaper than coconut
- cheap choccies = expiration near

The above were the findings from the 4 destination "tour", further research is needed to explain the findings further.

A short summary of the 4 destination "tour":

- all 4 destination has beaches and the ranking is as follows
1. Perhentian (Long Beach)
2. Langkawi (tanjung rhu)
3. Cherating (went to the public one)
4. Port Dickson (dunno which one)

- all but 1 destination had watermelon served

- the food was pretty good except for the last
1. Langkawi (crabs, crabs, sotong)
2. Kuantan (cendol)
3. Perhentian (sotong galore)
4. Port Dickson (not my taste)

All were fun except one which was a more relaxing destination
1. Perhentian
2. Langkawi
3. Port Dickson
4. Kuantan

The above was a very short summary of the 4 destination tour, an extensive report will be held private and confidential.

I hope the above had helped you understand the tour. Further details can be obtained discreetly from me. Thank you for reading the above unconcise "report".

Yours truly,
Robbstar

Sun Kissed Skin

2007-04-26T21:06:00.000+08:00

Soft hot sand, deep cool sea,
Bright fiery Sun, hidden timid moon,
A little shine, a little time,
The sun kissed skin will arise.

I think that sounds like a song and yes it does not rhyme unlike the previous one I wrote. I'm actually writing this entry again cause I didn't like the last one was to messy in one way or the other. So let's start over.

I'm on my way

I just came back from Perhentian today pretty amazing place still untouched by commercialism but I think it's getting there or maybe I'm wrong. Stayed at Lily Chalet, Long Beach which had a fine beach in front where we *10 of us* spent most of our sun time. The room that I shared with 3 other mates was pretty dark but we didn't really care. There was sand everywhere though, was slightly irritated by it but gave up after realising that the sand will never go away. My guess is that the chalet owner is called Lily... *ain't it obvious* *ok skip*

Lily Chalet at night

oh the menu was also filled with pictures of lillies... how cute... I-Rene noticed that, I just noticed that the food looked so unlike the pictures in the menu... haha

The beach is pretty amazing but would sound just like a typical beach from any story book you read that describe beaches.

"Once you set foot on the sand you feel it's softness tempting you to step longer eventhough the heat from the sand is creeping up into your feet. To lose the heat you set foot into the crystal clear blue sea water and feel a sudden urge to stay in the water all day long. The soft sand beneath your feet, the cool water slowly lapping into the beach makes you want to lie there and while away your tiem gazing at the clear blue sky with hints of clouds floating about forming odd shaped animals"

Wonder if I describe it well cause that was how it is... U just couldn't wait to step into the sea it is so tempting U could just forget about everything and stay in the water all day long... Alas words cannot describe it's true beauty and there is a saying that a picture paints a thousand words but not all pictures do that, sometimes U just have to see to believe.

Water activities tooked up most of our time in Perhentian Kecil, it was spent either snorkelling or soaking in the cool water. Snorkelling was nice for a real beginner like me. It was quite intimidating at first but after awhile you get the hang of it. The guide was great help too. However; things don't always go as it does and a certain kind of animal refuses to allow us enjoy the wonders of nature.

10 people enemy #1 was the jellyfishes. They were in every snorkelling spot that we wanted to go. We were afraid the first trip but for the second trip we gave up and jumped into the tempting sea anyway. Luckily for us no one got stung by it. Saw a lot of fishes that I couldn't identify. I think I saw a tuna fish but I ain't sure, I saw Nemo though *yeap he was hanging around one of the stalls at Kuala Besut.. nyahahha* Yeah saw a few clown fishes, they are really small. I saw a pair of fishes fighting/ kissing which looked really cute.

Tried the banana boat. We fell only once which was good enough for me cause I didn't feel very safe. It would have been fun if you felt safe. Slept on the beach too for about 20 minutes I think. Not under the Sun mind you.

On one of the snorkelling trips there was a bunch of Chinese men trying to catch the sea. Oh how we wished thier ship would just topple over sadly their smart guide was able to balance the boat for them. Frankly speaking the odds of poking a small fish with an umbrealla is like experiencing snow in Malaysia. Now I know actions speak a lot about a person's character like how silly a couple of us are... myself included. hehe

examples of silliness, knocking on wrong doors, jumping around running away from a cat that is as big as a water bottle, being scared by the before mentioned cat.... I think that's about it... no other silliness so sad....

Hmm let's see, lodging covered, activities covered, AHA the food. Hmmm... what can I say the food was BEYOND my wildest imagination * not wildest lar, it just exceeded my expectations* I was expecting fried rice or fried mee but we had 5 people sharing 4 dishes and a soup with rice of course not to mention a plate of fruits plus drinks to quence our thirst. *we took a package, so I naturally expected less* Good stuff 2 thumbs up, oh it was at the chalet itself so we didn't have to walk far. Their staff were pretty friendly too though sometimes I didn't really get them... hehe.. oh thier ice lemon tea was pretty special, jakun kid like me never see before, the put an entire tea bag into the ice lemon tea and my guess is they squeezed the lemon though the a lot of sacs were inside... was pretty nice actually eventhough I don't like tea.

Ah the restaurant had Astro too and they ahd internet as well... a big satelite dish sat behind the bar next to the restaurant... it's like RM30 for an hour... that's like almost half of my streamyx bill... gasp... well life's like that. Look's like I got everything covered or have I? Oh I didn't mention our jakunness snapping pictures right before leaving where everyone at the restaurant were staring... malunya... I also didn't mention the alcohol or the lack of it, I also didn't mention the the walks to the other end of the beach, I didn't mention the lack of asian faces at "our" side of the beach too, I didn't mention my fear of the boat capsizing hehehe

I also forgot to mention about the STARS... When night fell the stars stood out from the vast dark sky, a little twinkling made the sky all the more mesmerizing and I believe on our first day there I actually saw the moon smiling *no I wasn't intoxicated*. I actually wanted to lie on the beach with a nice drink and stare at the sky, didn't do that though cause didn't want to dirty my clothes... the sad thing was that I couldn't identify any constellations... there were just too many I guess...

I also failed to mention the schools of fishes swimming near the opposite end of the beach.... reminded me of Pangkor.... hehheheh

The final point that I missed was that I failed to mention that some of us woke up at 5 almsot 6 to wait for the sunrise and Mr. Sun took his precious time to wake up... alas it was a cloudier day and Sir Cloud won the day as Mr. Sun was blocked *the reason being the cloud is a sir and the sun is only a cloud.. -.-"*

No wonder Sir Cloud won, he had a horse to help him...

More things that I failed to mention was that the sea water was extra salty and burned the eyes as it fell into em, another thing is that I spent too much time under the Sun I got sun burn sans the title... hehe...

ok I think that's about it I hope U guess enjoyed this summarized version of the Perhentian trip and I wonder if a picture does paint a thousand words. Bye Bye Perhentian, Hello speedboat...

First jumping fest

2007-04-22T13:48:00.000+08:00

Woah... I legs are kinda killing me.... I'll be leaving for Perhentian tonite but first! I shall blog about the concert I attended yesterday... hehehhe My first ever concert and I picked rock... that's why my feet are killing me... so let's start it off....

Reached the stadium about 6 ish.. doors open at 6... we queued up like a km away.. that was how long the queue was... too bad we weren't VIP but irregardless.... took some pictures and did some catching up *pictures are with the peridot and I'm rushing to post this up.. so none for U guys* about 7:45 we rushed to the entrance as they opened up more lines....

went in shouted Fuyoh and got free "boomers"? which we discraded about 30 mins after... managed to squeeze to the end of the first half of the crowd... the view wasn't really nice but the atmosphere was great! MTV had 2 huge screens there and they kept playing the head lining act's music videos to build up our energy I guess....

waited for like an hour before the MTV veejays came on stage an "warm us up" they threw out freebies but thier hands were not strong enough.... jeez... so none for me... but before that got some fella throwing out freebies... Jac got a mousepad... hahhaha.. Oh Ashraf Sinclair was there and Jac wanted to take a picture with him and one lead to another and we were soon doing some pretty embarassing stuff... suffice to say "THANK GOD I HAVE NO ASTRO!!!!"

A couple minutes after the MTV VJ's went off stage the first opening act came one... One Buck Short.... pretty rocking stuff but didn't really know their stuff.... The jumping was nice... took the pain outta the legs... After that was Estranged and man "Itu Kamu" is awesome!!!!! The whole place was singing along to it.. so darn cool.... after Estranged left the stage... we started shouting for Good Charlotte... poor Lo he didn't even perform yet... hahhaha

Lo was great too.... I think cause he was more experienced then the other bands... Headed out for some drinks and kena kutuk gila... One particular guy was so pissed off that we were trying to get out... *maybe cause I didn't say excuse me?* anyone kena kutuk cause the water cost a bomb.. irregardless I ahd a little glo stick... hehehehe.. so cute the thing.. I wonder how it actually works cause U gotta crack it before it lights up....

About 10 ish the Act we were waiting for came on stage and the crowd that was sitting pretty far away during the opening acts crowded in front... We had a pretty good view.... The lead singer was probably the size of my thumb.. hahahha.... They started of with "Misery" and continued with "lifestyles of the rich and famous".... They played most of thier popular songs which is good cause I didn't really know thier stuff.... "Keep your hands off my girl" was the total bomb... *and if it were a bomb it would probably have been nuclear.. hahhaa* the other bomb was "I just wanna live".. * this one is atomic* and had great jumping! I like dance floor anthem though... "I don't wanna be in love, I don't wanna be in love" not yesterday night at least.. that's what the lead singer said...

I wonder if U guys figured out which concert I went yet... Yeah yeah It was Good Charlotte's.. so nice..... omg... I wasn't a fan though... and I don't think I'm a fan yet... but their stuff is pretty good... *secretly I didn't really like them last time.. but now they are rising up the ranks* My heart will only have Dashboard Confessionals... hahahha...

Other songs that they played was "the river", "we believe", "hold on" which was really nice too cause they turned down the lights and every held a light.... nice.... , "girls and boys", "All Black", "March On" which was pretty motivating and thier final song was "The Anthem" very nice song to end with....

I forgot the flow of songs so too bad.. they left the stage for a few minutes a quite a lot of people from the front walked behind and we moved in front.. Good Charlotte came on back though and now they were the size of my palm.. hahahha... took a couple of pics with my phone but couldn't really see who was on stage... but I know who was who alr cause I took the picture whut...

Shall put the clearer shots here...

This one is a shot of the MTV LIVE featuring Good Charlotte huge Balloon... it looked like a moon to me... and the words with MTV LIVE couldn't be seen.... but who cares.. it's the music that counts no?

I actually didn't want to blog about this but it was really great... 2 thumbs up great so I blog lar... and to make people like zyenn jealous also... kakakkakakka... on a sad note though... my watch clasp gave way and my watch fell on to the floor and shattered the glass... it's fixed now though...

A last note... Live music is so darn awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Joel was pretty funny... he had a nice rapport going to so good job
P.P.S. since I wasn't really familiar with their work I kinda mumbled my way through certain songs... hahahahahha.... but thier lyrics aren't that hard to figure out so it wasn't half bad... very nice too... the Sing along was REALLY nice!

Serious Holiday

2007-04-20T22:37:00.000+08:00

Oooo Finals are over and I'm free.. literally as after tomorrow I'll start my 2 1/2 weeks of serious holidaying. let's see 4 places in 18 days ain't half bad right? I hope... Now got some trouble trying to fit things in between.. kakakkaka

Let's see first stop is PERHENTIAN!!! snorkelling for me man I can't express how much I like beaches so this is joy... or rather JOY! To make things more dramatic I have already packed my bags and I'm only leaving on Sunday night... kakkaka there are reasons for this though...

2nd stop of 18 day "tour" Port Dickson... I leave for this the day after I return from Perhentian... if everything turns out the way it is, this will go through... It a camp what camp I shall stay silent about it as it might actually be delayed... lousy organizing...

3rd stop of tour is Kuantan... the second day after I return from PD I head off to Kuantan for some eating spree.. kekekke... get some little rest here I guess...

Final stop of "tour" I leave for Langkawi on the 3rd day home from Kuantan. Hehehe all the duty free stuff waiting for me to "collect" kakakkakaka.. feel so joyous now for no apparent reason... hey anyone has any ideas what to do in Langkawi?

Oh I'm ready to take orders for stuff from the land of the duty free if they don't make my baggage exceed though... so if anyone wants anything that I could take back go ahead and tell me... I might get em, I might not... depends on my mood... hehehe

Oh right look at the time.... 10:56pm.. nice... time to flee anyway cause I have nothing else to talk about... Oh I went Karaoke today and man the room was huge..... the room could have fit 15 people but there were only 4 of us... so much space to prance around which none of us did which is good cause they got cameras.. hehhe figured that out on my last embarassing visit... kekeke oh well till next time, I might blog about my "tour" if I feel like it...

P.S. Does anyone have ideas of where to work? I have 3 months of free time till my course starts again. I know I don't want waitressing that's all...

The Return of...

2007-04-02T19:18:00.000+08:00

A few months back "Blackie" posted a missing notice to search for his best bud "Beary Fishy" and Blackie says thank you for everyone's help in the "search". To refresh the minds of the readers here's the entry about Blackie in search of his best bud Beary Fishy. Now the search has ended with very good news indeed as....

U saw right! Beary Fishy has been found! Boy was it a long search but what an accomplishment. When all was lost, hope appeared and alas there was Beary Fishy! Now Beary Fishy would like to say a few words. he following entry will be continued by him and only him.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello readers of this wonderfully blue blog! My name is Beary Fishy. U could call me Beary, Fishy, Bearish or Bearishy but never bear fish! I don't give birth to fishes for heaven's sake. Today is the first day I reached home and boy what a wonderful feeling.

Since Blackie me best bud spoke of how I left on the day before Chinese New Year eve to catch some fish, I shall tell my story of where I went and what happened to me all this while.

I reached my favourite lake on the eve of Chinese New Year. I stayed in a chalet by the lake the day before so that I would have a nice spot to fish on the next day. On that day I rented a teeny weeny boat to get to where the BEST fishes were. With my short hands I was lucky to have not tire down before I even reached my destination! I was there awhile before it started raining cats and dogs and wow! how large the cats and dogs were!

I had to paddle back as the cats from the rain were scaring all the fishes away. So no fish for Balckie and me then. :( The rain grew heavier with every single row and soon the teeny weeny boat was filled with water! I had to row with one hand and scoop the water out with another. I was quite unsuccesful as I ended up paddling round and round making circles in the lake, the boat was also too full to be salvaged. I stood up to try to call for HELP! I stood and lost my balance and fell head first. As I went down my head hit something hard and I soon passed out.

The next thing I know I woke up in a wooden house with a little bandage round my head. I tried waking up but my head was throbbing. Soon a lady and a man came in, they were speaking some foreign language which I could not comprehend. I just stared at them with my slit eyes to try and figure out what they were talking about. They didn't realise I was awake cause my eyes always seem closed anyway.

I soon gathered that they saved me from that rainy day. Soon i felt better and talk a walk around the kampung that's the word for a village, I learned that from one of the villagers. It was a village by the sea, oh what a beautiful sight! It was a sight to behold! Soft white sand glistening in the sun, crystal clear sea waters with lapping waves slowing easing it's way to the beach. Heck! I was probably in heaven already but alas I wasn't!

I was brought into a boat the very next morning. It was a fishing boat,I was ordered to catch fishes and for all this while that I was gone I had been catching fishes everyday. These fishes were even bigger than me! I had little to eat but lots to do. I rarely had any sleep too. I am so glad that kind souls saved me from that sweat shop!

Everyday I had to slave through the fishing, then there were the paddy fields that had to be worked. The only time I had any rest was when that man I saw on my first day here went away. I soon found out from my clever deductions that home was only a short distance away. I devised a plan to runaway as soon as my chance came.

One day, the owner left me alone at his paddy field. He said he would be back in a minute. I jumped on that chance and hitched hike my way back here. I was picked up by none other than the kind souls who brought me back. On my way back I saw posters of me! They were everywhere! Blackie must have missed me tonnes.

I reached home and saw a different Blackie. He looked more sad yet he was glad when he saw me. Not jumping with joy just a little smile and a little hug. I think he was terrified by me as he kept pretending to sleep. After my saviours were gone I looked for him and
asked him "what's wrong Blackie?"
he said:"U seem different."
I said:"Different? in what way?"
He said: "In everyway!" and ran out.

I was a little hurt by his actions. I don't feel any difference in me. I looked for a mirror and boy some major changes had indeed taken place! I was much larger now, my body was also more developed, my eyes are more slanting now. If U were me ur eyes would slant the way mine did too. Even the fish I brought back for Blackie was much much larger! it was even bigger than him. I tried to adapt my changes. I was much stronger now. Like what Blackie said, I WAS different!

I waited for him to return for dinner. He came back but he still looked sad. We had dinner and he said I rarely talked about all things fish anymore. He said he missed the old Beary Fishy, the Beary Fishy that was his best bud where they shared everything, thier meals, stories, clothes, time, basically everything. Now I ate more, talked less, had large clothes that Blackie couldn't even wear, it'll just slip right out from under him!

Blackie talked very little during tonight's dinner. He did the washing. He didn't eat the fish I brought back. He said it wasn't bite size anymore. I felt painful inside, I was wondering if he even missed me during my days away. Maybe I am not adjusting well or Blackie isn't adjusting well to the new me. I promised that the old Beary Fishy and I are one and the same. Blackie jsut couldn't accept it. Maybe time will tell and he'll slowly warm up to me.

As for now I'll try my best and see how it works. Oh how I wish I didn't go out fishing that day, how I wish I rented a big boat instead of a teeny weeny boat, how I wih I could understand the language that my captors spoke, how I wish I could runaway much earlier, how I wish I didn't know how to fish! Oh how I wish Blackie would just understand how I feel right now... I just want my one and only best friend back...

Beary Fishy

Odd.... non-book person

2007-03-27T18:22:00.000+08:00

I discovered something really odd and this oddness ain't good. I noticed that everytime after I post a "notice" about me taking a break/ idling time/ sabbatical from blogging I end up blogging a few days later... -.-"" talking bout being idle.. this oddness is pretty dumb actually. Next time I shall put I'll be idling and then when I post in the next few days I'll remove the idle notice...

Ok right. Me being a "non-book person" tned to go to a lot of book sales. -.-" But I don't even like to read. I think my mum has been succesful in making me read, that's why she's able to drag me to any book sales that are near by. Sales clearance by Popular, Times, Mph and Big Book shop will have an "honourable" visit by me unless of course I feel too lazy to pop in.

Right... so this time there was the Big Book Shop sales at Atria which just ended on Sunday. I actually attended the sales on the first day itself. *talk about being a non-book person* got 2 books one was pretty interesting and the other one... well I'm kinda getting through it. I initially wanted 4 books but I'm a little too stingy to pay for it myself... hahahhaha

I obtained

"Blink: The power of thinking without thinking" by Malcolm Gladwell very interesting book and a really easy read too and

"Life swap" by Jane Green.

And on the last day of the sales I went again... -.-" hmm the arrangement before and after is a little diferent. There are new books too... wow.... this time I got

"Around the world in 80 dates" by Jennifer Cox , i wanted this on the first visit *they are actually making a movie out of this one, it's coming out next year though*, and

"Sea Otters Gambolling in the Wild Wild Surf" by John Bennett. I noticed another thing too.. I tend to gravitate towards books with odd titles such as "Sea Otters gambolling in the wild wild surf", I don't even know wat gambolling means.... oh before I forget, the otter on the cover is kinda cute.. hahahha

Hmm I think that's about it.. I shall flee now.. and come back when I feel like "idling" hahah

Notice: Idle till further notice

2007-03-23T13:17:00.000+08:00

This blog shall be idle until further notice. Reasons being, too lazy to blog, assignments have to be finished, hotels have to be found, etc etc...

But there's one thing I really wanna blog about! "Checkers" hehehhe... but since I'm supposed to be idling..... Wait till next time. Probably after the end of this month or after the end of next month. Should blog about "Movie Run" but.... sigh... my fingers refuse to conform to such heavy typing, therefore; Robbstar shall stop typin and say cheerios!

Jim & Sally

2007-03-10T11:37:00.000+08:00

Jim & Sally are the best of friends. They were inseparable eversince the day they met when they were only 4. *aww... how sweet* Jim & Sally soon fell in love to the joy of all who surrounded them. Jim & Sally have a common love for food, especially HK food; however, they were residents of another country. Thier time in thier homeland was disastrous as their fav HK food wasn't in thier reach. The fact that Jim was a chef didn't help matters for as smart as he was, he was unable to replicate the exact same dishes they tasted in HK.

Sally was very determined to eat some HK food so she devised a plan for them to satisfy thier craving for HK food. Thier plan was practically fool proof, unless of course if Jim & Sally are fools then the plan wouldn't work. Soon Jim was in HK learning the ropes one how to make the perfect HK dish. Every eatery Jim went, Jim spied *not to mention stole too*.

After years of doing such snoopish business, Jim & Sally had enough recipes to last them an entire lifetime! Alas, that wasn't enough for Sally who wanted to spread the goodness of HK food to everyone is the whole wide world, but this big plan hit a snag! English was considered the universal language and Jim & Sally unfortunately didn't study thier english when they were in school. They did the best they could to give fanciful names to the items in thier menu. They also threw in higher than average prices to make the eatery more "up"market and had a nice decor to boot too!

Throngs of people ate at thier restaurant everyday. Tonnes of people loved thier food but there are always 2 sides to a coin and I was on the other side. One fine day, ok.. it wasn't so fine after all, I came a walking. Ordered something "cheap" and boy did I get cheap food. I would ahve been happier making it myself at home....

--- end of story -----

oh well no point in whining about it so suffice to say I shall not go there again, although their rice ain't half bad. hmm hopefully this ain't considered defaming or I might get sued... kakaka

*Jim & Sally's story is made believe the last paragraph has some truth value to it*

Screen Uncles

2007-03-09T15:29:00.000+08:00

Hello readers, do you remember one particular entry where I gushed about a particular actor, about his character in a show? this might help U a little. So that was like so 2005 so this year 2007 there are new uncles to gush over.

Wonder how shows (tv dramas, short movies, movies, etc....) can make U feel how bergaya the "uncle" is... I think I remember reading a friend's blog about how korean dramas make uncles look so hot... hahahha

Ok to cut things short there are 2 new uncles to gush over. One is in "Music and Lyrics" Yeap, U guessed right, U can now gush over Hugh Grant and it's perfectly fine cause he was pretty witty in the show. His lines are very nice and he says them so nonchalantly that it doesn't even seem like a joke. He doesn't look like a typical good looking kinda guy, heck his droopy eyes make him seem like a puppy to me but hell his character was simply lovable in "Music and Lyrics".

Here's a picture of Hugh grant with Drew Barrymore in "Music and Lyrics". Picture taken from barnettimes.

Since Park Shin Yang is the nice-suave-stubborn uncle in "Lovers in Paris", Hugh Grant is the witty-hip-shaking uncle in "Music and Lyrics". Should catch this show, quite a typical rom com but, thier lines are very nice plus it's a little musical so go watch... I would give a rather ok 7 for this "uncle". The next "uncle" however, I would give a nice 8.5.

What I like about this 8.5 "uncle" I have no idea whatsoever. U could classify him as the dreamy-blur-blur-dumb-dumb-bear-like kinda uncle. Oh not to mention sleepy looking.. but he looks very hugable no doubt. I'm talking 'bout Gam Woo Seong in "Alone In Love". I only watched like 4-5 episodes of this, a few at the beginning and the last 2. He should be 37 so he qualifies as an uncle. He looks really korean, how nice if I could meet someone like him... kakakaka.. sensitive, caring, bear like *lol*, can be comical.... *ah now I think I'm dreaming too much*

Here's a pic of Gam Woo Seong in "Alone in Love". the girl behind is Son Ye Jin. Both of them were fantastic in the drama. What a nice pick.

Ah there's this guy in "Alone in Love" that looks pretty cute. Not as bergaya as Kim Sung Soo though. Son Ye Jin was his love interest. He looks very model like... not putting the name here though... here's a little pic... Not an uncle though, he's like 26.

Actually I didn't gush a lot. I ain't a good gusher or rather the mood to gush has faded away. I actually feel like gushing about someone else... someone on our local shores for a change eh? first I must check if he's an uncle. If he ain't well nvm.. some other time then... I shall split now... cheerios. Oh the korean pictures are from Hancinema.

Anonymity

2007-03-03T21:46:00.000+08:00

I think I've succesfully kept this blog as anonymous as I can which gives me quite a lot of freedom... I think. Makes me feel quite liberated but still some things cannot be blogged about since other blogstars that are linked to me might have my name...

Since I've nothing to blog about... oh oh I deleted the previous post.. which mostly no one would have read.... it was only posted for 6 hours almost 7, but I wouldn't know... turned out I plugged the wrong place.

wanted to talk about a dinner I ahd yesterday but come to think of it I'm too lazy as I want to complete my assignment. However; I'm also really lazy to do that. But I fought *exaggeration* with my brother for the place in front of the monitor, so I better make good use of it. So off I go, wonder if anything interesting will be happening this week. suppose to tell me parents some important things but... oh well... not much from me this time round just got a assignment and an exam coming wednesday and that's it! lessons will be continued... hehe.. hmmmm anything else to add?

Nothing is particular, AH! tomorrow is the last day of Chinese New Year. Shall do a little recap. I went bai nian-ing to 8 people's house *what a nice number*. Won 7 rounds of "wrong" mahjong *wrong caused we were playing it in a different manner, btw we played 8 rounds.. kakakka*. Didin't count my angpaus yet. didn't count the cards as well. Cookies on the table, too lazy to count... *too many... hahahhaha* drinks I've drank.... lost count... number of times went missing? once *though actually we weren't really missing cause the road could also be used to reach the destination except that we weren't with the group but I'll still count it anyway*

Ah... what I nice recap... ok OFF to work now. cheerios! hope U guys had a wonderful Chinese New Year! If not, there's always last year...

I don't wanna be.... IT or HIT

2007-02-24T12:59:00.000+08:00

hehehe eeee if U haven't figured out the title... I've been hit!! *tag actually but hit rhymes with it* so I'm IT again... *sounds so unenthusiastic... maybe I'll do it halfway*

got hit by Zyenn and her blog doesn't let me copy the excerp about the rule.. :( cis cis. gotta go type it... sniff sniff...

READY?

RULE: Each player of the game starts off with the 10 wierd things/ habits/ little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of thier own 10 wierd things/ habits/ little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose 6 people to be tagged and list thier names. No tagbacks! *while typing the rule I suddenly thought of translating it to malay.. kakakka**shall not do it as too time consuming*

SET..... GO!!!!!!

1. For some reason, I like singing "jingle bells" when it's not christmas.. when christmas comes.. I'll sing chinese new year songs... -.-"

2. Fall is my favourite season eventhough we don't have it here.. I like seeing the leaves fall...

3. Afraid of sharks *not very unknown* time for a little story telling. *saw a picture of a shark in aquaria's advertisement in a newspaper, wanted to read the article on the page next to it and I could feel the shark staring at me... had to cover the darn shark's face.... sniff sniff*

4. I'm a home kid... likes staying at home...*home is where the heart is.... I think I saw that somewhere before*

5. I like my sandwiches without any spread, ie, butter, margarine, mayo, bread spread, just the ingredients.

6. Must have music when I'm online, no music and everything seems wrong... even if I only surf for like 5 minutes...

7. I like calling people names.. *which I think is a bad thing* but... but... it's not degrading or anything... * i think.. hopefully it's not...*

8. My favourite song at this very moment is actually Roxette's Dangerous which was released at the end of 1989... like 18 years ago.... hehehehe

9. I actually don't read my entries again unless I really like it... I just type it and forget about it...

10. I like playing gangster games... *PC games* even my brother doesn't play em... hahaha proves how violent I am I guess....

Ah yes yes I'm done... don't think it was very insightful though... I don't like self-disclosure... hmmm must I really tag people? must I??? must??? ok I shall make the following people "IT"

1. Lobak Mengantuk
2. Orang giler kopi
3. peridot *dunno home to translate*
4. not so evil devil *I think U'll know who U are*
5. Paddington *kakkaak don't think U'll do though*

Beary Fishy

2007-02-21T20:40:00.000+08:00

Hi! My name is Blackie! That's me above! I know it says there Charco, but that's my younger sibling. I don't have other pictures and Charco looks exactly like me so I used his picture instead. So back to me, as I said before my name is Blackie. You can call me Mr. Black, Black, Blackstar or Blackie. Now I have a little story to tell, it's not a chain mail kind of story hopefully you will continue reading as this story is a little about my lovely relationship with my best mate.

See I'm from Doooland, if you still don't know, I'm a dooodoll. I came to Earth in the year 2004. Other dooodolls came with me too. I didn't have much friends as I was quite a quiet fellow but in the year 2005, things started to brighthen up. See for some reason whatsoever I became well acquainted with Beary Fishy a fellow dooodoll. We knew each other since 2004 but it's that kind of relationship where you know the other person and the other person knows you.

On the fortunate day of 19th July 2005, me and Beary Fishy became good friends. I'm glad we got to know each other. Beary Fishy would enlighthen me about all things fish and I would enlighthen him about all things black. My hobby was sleeping and his was fishing. I would occasionally sleep on his fishing excursions. We were like Winnie the Pooh to honey, always together. We went through thick and thin. Rain or shine we would always be together.

However; good things must come to an end and I'm sad to say that before Chinese New Year, Beary Fishy went on his usual fishing excursions. He wanted to catch a big fish for Chinese New Year, besides it was his favourite food. He left on the night before Chinese New Year eve. Beary Fishy's favourite fishing spot is very far from where we live. Apparently there are much larger fishes at where he fishes. It rained the whole day on Chinese New Year's eve. Beary Fishy never returned. I waited and waited and no sign of him and his fish.

He just did not come back from his excursion. So here I'm going to paste a flyer in case you find him wandering around some pond or lake.

Hopefully you can read the details. If U can't I'll tell U about it. His name is Beary Fishy! He looks exactly like the picture. He always has a fish in tow. He smiles a lot too. Oh he doesn't like people covering his mouth. He has slit eyes. Take his fish away and he'll growl! He's orange in colour. When he gets dirty his eyes show the dirt first.

If you see him please contact me. I miss his fishing stories. I don't want to be alone in the world again. Thanx for listening to my story. I shall look for him somemore. Hopefully he'll return soon.

Blackie

Xin Nian Lai Lo...

2007-02-15T20:13:00.000+08:00

*Xin Nian Lai Lo.... Xin Nian Lai Lo.....* I found myself singing this day in day out and for people that don't understand it emans that the New Year is here... the new year refers to the chinese one of course.... this year is the year of the Boar, apparently the Boar is the last zodiac of the 12, what are the 12 I shall nto name them cause that would be too draggy.

So far, them cookies has been baked, decorations are a 1/4 put up, the house is 2/3 clean? haha.. jeez I really ahve no idea what to blog about. Never mind, a great celebration is approaching and I can't wait to eat the cookies... kakakkaka cookies galore...

going back to me hometown and can't wait to eat the cendol.... kekeke no wonder people like me get heavier after Chinese New Year... everything also "sapu" *translation: sweep*. Oh I have this theory why people eat a lot during Chinese New Year. The theory goes like this,
"The chinese work so hard makng sure thier house stays clean, they bake wonderful delicacies and logically those 2 tasks use a lot of energy so they lose at elast a little weight. So when Chinese New Year comes they can replenish thier weight. no?

I heard a Chinese New Year song that day and it's stuck in my head. it's by a well known Malaysian singer but I don't wanna sing it here cause I dunno the lyrics... ahahhahaha *mo tian ai ah mo tian ai... la la la la la la... la la la... la la la la la... hey hey la la la hu hey..... * heheh hmm what other chinese new year song neh? never mind later...

actually this year there doesn't seem to be much CNY spirit hanging around as the college only gave us 2 days off.... =.= only 3 days of celebration... -.-" *sangat pancung steam* worst thing is that there's an assignment due right after the "holiday" and then 2 weeks after that another one... =.= ah well who cares... can still go jalan jalan on the off days... kekekekek..

Hmm who's cookies shall I "sapu" this year? so bad.. go "sapu" people's one then the house one later don't eat... kakaka

oh oh them blog host forced me to change to the new blogger so I'm using the new blogger... -.-" ah well... change is inevitable...

to end this entry today I shall type one last CNY song... *qi ge long dong qiang dong qiang.. wo yao qu bai nian.....* ok now I cabut... kakak oh Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai!

ooo joy, JOY!

2007-02-06T18:16:00.000+08:00

Away searching for something...

2007-02-05T20:25:00.000+08:00

Dear readers, I will be on a little voyage to search for something.... so naturally this blog will be at this state for awhile without new updates and so forth. Reasons for this little "voyage"

1. The laziness in me has taken over
2. CNY is coming so helping out has overtaken blogging as something to do.
3. Assignments are cropping so that too is of utmost importance.
4. Mundane daily activities aren't interesting
5. too busy trying to figure out how to work a programme related to #3
6. A new game has been installed and boy will I cut my online time for that...

Oh well that's all... just a little short entry.... oh something funny I saw today. I was at the night market and there was this couple that brought thier dog there... I didn't see it so Iw as pretty terrified when turned around and saw a furry fuzzball behind me legs.... kakakkaka BUT that's not the funny thing...

the funny thing was that there was this lady A talking to lady B, Lady A was giving directions so she was pointing here and there... naturally in a night market there would be a lot of people walking around... so Mr. C comes a walking and lady A just smacks her finger across Mr.C's face. Kind as Mr.C was, he just walked away... and Lady A realised she hit Mr.C and stopped pointing around... kakakka

Ok that's all. get back to #5 oh and by the way... I ain't going away on a voyage... just running away to some wonderland?

Hari Ini Dalam BM

2007-01-30T14:42:00.000+08:00

Wahai pembaca "blog" ini, adakah bahasa yang aku guna hari agak berbeza dari "entry" yang lain? *soalan bodoh... -.-"* Hari ini aku menaip dalam Bahasa Melayu kerana saya rasa bahawa Bahasa Melayu saya sudah merosot sehingga tahap bahasa melayu budak tahun satu pun lebih baik. Itulah yang dikatakan oleh Lobak Mengantuk *Sleepy Carrot*. hehehe kelakarnya namanya...

jadi hari ini istimewa sikit. Kalian perlu baca dalam bahasa melayu tengok faham tak. Tak faham bagilah komen. Bosan lar tak ada komen, tak ada orang tengkar dengan aku. hahahhaha. Peliknya "blog" dalam Bahasa Melayu. Pelik tak?

Hari tak ada benda yang istimewa berlaku pada saya jadi saya cakap bukan-bukan sajalah, boleh tak? tak boleh juga tak apa, saya masih akan cakap bukan-bukan.

Kehidupan memang tidak tentu, dalam sekelip mata seorang boleh hilang nyawanya. Saya telah cakap benda yang sama dalam "entry" saya yang lepas. Saya nak pergi "panjat batu" tapi tak ada orang nak pergi bersama... kasihannya.... nak nangis ni *hahhaha tipular... tak panjat batu pun nak nangis.. gila ke?*

Itu ialah percakapan bukan-bukan saya yang pertama. Kedua ialah saya sedang fikir adakah saya patut tukar ke "Blogger" baru? Apa bezanya sebenarnya? Boleh beritahu saya tak? Bagilah feedback! Selepas tukar tak boleh tukar balik ni, sukar tahu tak? Jika tak bagus bagaimana? buka yang baru? bazir tempat saja...

Akhir-akhir ini saya sering fikir tentang karangan yang aku tulis semasa saya masih di sekolah. Karangan sambung cerita saya. Syoknya saya tulis karangan sambung cerita itu. Malangnya, semua karangan aku sudah buang atau kitar semula, saya sudah lupa. Kesalnya aku! Patut simpan untuk baca jika terlalu lapang. Ada yang bagus punya tapi biarlah, takkanlah bina satu mesin balik ke masa lampau untuk menghalang saya pada masa lampau untuk tidak buang karangan saya? tak masuk akal kan? Mungkin saya patut jadi penulis cereka. Satu orang baca juga sudah cukup untuk saya.

eh, syoknya taip dalam bahasa melayu. hehehe. Saya sudah habis meluahkan percakapan bukan-bukan saya jadi bolehlah bermain permainan sekaranglah *-.-" permainan* Yeah! (^.^)v kakakakka selamat tinggal. baik tak Bahasa Melayu aku? terukkan? biarlah.

Mixed tape

2007-01-23T17:26:00.000+08:00

Digital art how do people do them?? how? how? pretty impressed with some pretty cool work... do they spend like hours on it??? ah well... that's something that I might not be able to accomplish.... and since life is short and death is ultimately inevitable... anyone wants to go to camp5's rock climbing gym? the summit's one is too far and I don't want to wait any longer... impatient person I am... since I'm a beginner I gotta pay like the beginner's fee which is pretty pricey according to it's website.. so anyone?

Oh I went to the digital mall on Sunday. Lots of people hanging around... the escalator in the mall is pretty irritating... I don't like the escalators direction... probably it was the 2nd day of opening so it was automated that way but it's still irritating... the place mostly consisted of computer related stuff... there's an Aztech, modem brand, store there... wanted to browse for some cameras but oh well.... got an all-in-one printer for 285... haven't changed it yet... the dot matrix one shall be worned out first... Dad insisted on a keyboard cause the existing one had "missing alphabets". *frequent use causes alphabet letterings on the keyboard to fade away* cause we bought a printer we were entitled for some lucky draw... dart throwing contest thingy... my bro got a SD card... there was a Yaris on displayed outside... wonder what it was for...

went to kemaman kopitiam for a drink... to be honest... the kemaman one in Terenganu is much better. Well beggars can't be choosers now can they...

Something outta the blue... I went to Sungai Buloh on Sunday too... beautiful flowers all round... how refreshing... there was this plant which was pretty beautiful in my eyes. the fruit looked like a tomato so I aptly called it the "tomato plant"... some other customers asked the "si tao po" wat is that plant... the lady said:"Fuk Lok Sau Guo". the customer asked: "can eat or not one?". Boss: "display only". how creative of people to have such a fruit.... hehehe

Ah hold up... since this is such a mixed up post. Went with me mum to Ikano we went into a bookstore which I shall not name... my mum picked up a book and looked at the recipes... She saw one called "Pi Pa sesame chicken". The instructions read:" 1.Use the breast part of the chicken. 2. Cut chicken into pi pa shape." wtheck is a "pi pa shape"?

ok now I have went out of topics. feel like changing my skin. I feel it's too blue or is it? should I change it to green?? plan on making a whole new one.oh well, I shall leave it as it is now... shall publish the new one when it's ready or rather if it's ever ready... cheerios...

P.S> R.I.P to Ms. Jana... may the after life be a good one, should there be an afterlife at all....

P.P.S> heard Jack Mannequin's mixed tape in F.O.S just now. sans the title.

Velocity

2007-01-05T22:39:00.000+08:00

First up, I admit I'm not a book person but I do read books. Incidently, clearance sales seem to pop up where it's convenient for me to visit multiple times and during these, at least half a dozen times, visits I stumbled upon a book so captivating that I couldn't keep my hands away from it. That is until my mum said "too expensive", then back to the table it went. Of course I tried persuading, but my persuading power is really terrible!

If I wanted that particular book, I have to get it myself. As stingy as I am, I took 18 bucks and headed to the supposed second last day of the sale, it was supposed because the sale has been extended to the 28th of January, grabbed the book and headed back home happily.

"The Terminal Man" had to wait, this book was far too captivating. If ur wondering what book has so much power to draw me into buying my first ever book, it's Dean Koontz's Velocity.

Synopsis
A lonesome bartender by the name of Billy Wiles has been chosen by a "freak" to choose his first victim. Would it be a blonde school teacher or an old lady involved in philantrophic work? With his action or inaction, Billy chooses the victims and the killer gladly kills them. Billy is soon trapped into being an "associate" of the killer or even worst, the suspect of all the killings. *ok my synopsis sucks* Billy has to cover up and is soon in too deep to get himself out. *actually he was already in too deep before, he just doesn't know*. *now something from the back cover*

"More comunications from the killer follow, more hideous choices, with ever tighter decision times, and with each choice Billy is drawn deeper into an accelarating nightmare, which steadily becomes more personal, more confrontational, until he is isolated, with no one to turn to and no one to rely on but himself. Finally he must risk everything to save the intended victims..."

ok that was the synopsis. Now,

My Review:

The story which is a thriller is actually quite predictable, I mean how many people can the author introduce into a novel without his/ her readers knowing who was resposible for the killings. The answer of who the killer is obvious, but the novel is so cleverly written that U forget who that person is as the author plants another name into ur head! Unlike other typical endings, this ending was pretty surprising to me, pretty amazing actually. This novel is a real psychological thriller, it shows how "involved" the killer is, sadistic, very intelligent, still posses a little compassion and sadly mentally unsound. The characters in the novel are actually quite real *euphemism for flawed*. Makes it such a great read. Really.

Seriously speaking, the starting was a ok. then the pace of the story kinda slowed. Then it slowly picked up speed and the climax was just pure velocity like a real roller coaster!

Pros: definite thriller, flawed characters *which means real/ believable*, a fresh read from normal police / killer thrillers, definitely worth my 18 bucks! hehe..

Cons: A little slow, a little too scary if such a person *the killer* lived in the real world, can't really root for the main character - don't really feel like rooting for him.

I think lately I'm into psychological thrillers. First Criminal Minds now Velocity. It can get quite spine chilling to actually read or watch what goes through the bad guys' minds... So my purpose of this entry is ultimately to promote it.. hahaha I'm just suggesting. Speaking of velocity look at the time, I better be off. Cheerios!

2007, Here I am

2007-01-01T13:18:00.000+08:00

2007, I am here! hahaha.. wonder what that means... hehe. It's 2007 and to kick it off there is a new skin! *seems like I am forever changing skins* Totally blue this time. Not green no more. I feel so cold looking at the skin. Icy & cool. *like my heart? hehe :p*

this is the first post of the year and I'm busy crapping... kakakkaka... Let's see what I can look forward to the new year.

1. finish my first year
2. 20.07.2007
3. Country's 50th anniversary
4. concerts galore?
5. movies galore? *which reminds me that I haven't bought a cd for a long time now*
6. More Movie marathons!

Ah well the list will grow. now for a little of the years first!

First FULL song I heard: Twins - Kite & wind *-.-" *
first Full movie: hopefully it's "The Guardian"
first thing I did in 2007: drink sparkling juice *hahahah*
first food: chocolate cake :D
first drink: water... I need water.....

I guess that's enough of first... I shall be back! DO give feedback on the skin! THere shouldn't be any problem seeing it from firefox/ mozilla or watever stuff U'll use... till then cheerios and have a wonderful 2007!

The end is near!

2006-12-27T11:17:00.000+08:00

The end is indeed near... the end of the year that is. 4 days more and the year recycles. Boy time sure travels fast! Wonder what I accomplished this year..... *thinks thinks thinks* Not much to recall there... oh well hopefully next year there will be...

Haha.. I think by this time U readers can tell that I'm currently just blogging for the sake of blogging... hahaha that's so corny... Well.. guess I'll just wish HAPPY NEW YEAR to them readers and then split eh? Should I write my resolutions first? Wait a minute... I don't have any resolutions... *cause if I made them then I won't end up fulfilling it or other people might purposely come and jeopordize it*

WOAH wait a minute... next year is a really special year... gotta think of something special to do... the year 2007 is a coming and this year I want to do soemthing special for the auspicious date of 20.07.2007... unlike the other years where I just sat around and dunno did wat... I think it should be a form of celebration... I eman it would come round ever again right?

Ok so my resolution this year is:
1. Be more patient *people don't try testing my patience, I might be patient but I sure as hell don't like it*
2. find something to do on the auspicious day... *please not marriage... hahahhaa*
3. no more no more.. it will add eventually...

See U next year people! It will be another great year and more shopping possibly.. hehe

Great balls of Tang Yuen...

2006-12-22T14:29:00.000+08:00

hehe I imitated Jerry Lewis's "great balls of fire" for my "great balls of tang yuen". The festival to eat tang yuen is here... I think it's called Winter solstice something about the winter. apparently it's more important than the ever popular Chinese New Year. Why? I don't know... I think I have to ask the coffeeholic for that...

eh.. first up.. tang yuen is balls made of flour , cooked and eaten with sugary water. *that was a really weird definition* Oh regardless it's really nice!

The sad thing is I have a feeling that because of the Western influences Christmas seems to have overtaken this tang yuen festival... =( everyone's talking about Christmas but who's talking bout the tang yuen festival?? Oh well... The tang yuen festival is here so in to my stomach the tang yuen goes...

Oh I have a question. Do U'll prefer ur tang yuen to be big or small in size? I know does in the supermarkets are pretty huge.... Mine ain't big although I mentioned "great balls of tang yuen" as me title. Great..I don't know how to continue... Ah well..

Today is THE "tang yuen" festival and i had to roll them tang yuen's so I can enjoy em myself.. wahahha... :P this time my mum bought 5 colours... *banyaknya* but each one had a little.. not a lot... *my mum doesn't make em, I don't know why... maybe cause it's hard work* So there are 5 colours, bright pink, white, bright yellow, bright green and bright purple. The yellow and purple are new additions this year never bought that colour before.

well 5 colours is already colourful enough and being the playful me I combine some colours to make the tang yuen's more colourful. So in the end I had

- bright green
- light green
- not so bright green yellow
- pale green yellow
- bright yellow
- light yellow
- white
- bright pink
- bright purple
- not so bright pink purple
- pale pink purple
- pale pink
- pale purple

then my mum started complaining why I'm doing so slowly and told me to stop playing... if she hadn't told me so I think the natural colors would have disappeared... hahahha

Oh bought the supermarket tang yuen too... the one with black sesame... One thing I don't like bout the supermarket ones are that they'll burst and teh stuff inside will jsut come out and it's like eating normal tang yuen but with a more flavoured syrup.

Ah well that's it.. jsut here to tell the people how crazy I am over tang yuen's... kakaka... cheerios! Enjoy ur tang yuen's and of course Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Fresh Outlook

2006-12-18T22:01:00.000+08:00

Dear Readers,

I changed me blog's skin eventhough I liked the last one, but since the other one was pretty messed up if people use firefox change was inevitable. Hopefully this one doesn't cause any trouble as I kinda like this one too. hehe. However, the words might be a little hard to read through the darker parts of the grass. Oh it takes some time to load the grass picture too so please do be patient. Patience is a virtue.

So that is about it. Oh and yes, about the "where are they now" entry, I would most probably not be doing it as I don't seem to be able to find a suitable candidate. Maybe you'll could give suggestions. The ones I searched so far seems to be still in the entertainment industry and some are reviving thier careers, so there ain't anything special there.

About this skin, I think I'm getting very nature loving lately. Consider my last skin which had a tree and now this current skin which has grass. Hopefully I won't reach the level where I would put flowers here. hehe though flowers can be very pretty. hahaha oh well, I'm just trying to fill in space I guess. Oh Muse is coming to KL February 28th if I'm not wrong. The sad news is that I'm not that in to them so go I won't unless they are really cheap which I doubt so.
Good day people.

Movie Marathon numero 3

2006-12-15T22:50:00.000+08:00

Wow.. the last movie marathon was like when?? Regardless, Movie Marathon is back or was back or came back... uh nvm... It was fun nonetheless.

Movie marathon was about wow... 24 hours long.... impressive... actually saw 6 movies in 24 hours... hmmm not bad... I think... half of the time... HEY! where did the other half go?

Ok cutting to the chase. Everything started yesterday at approximately 1:30pm ish... had pot luck. I brought some garlic bread and chicken, potato mushroom thingy. Zyenn brought pasta salad. Vatty made tuna sandwiches and Yeen made sushi, jelly and cookies.... *I think I just made her sound really hardworking, hahahah nvm*

actually we only started eating about 4pm... lunchner? oh nvm.... took pics and all. Haven't got the pics from them yet so no pics here. Ate till we got stuffed and all. Then we started our movie watching. But first I want to do some "rewinding".

2 hours before actual movie watching: we went DVD purchasing and laughed at some DVD titles. we reached the Movie Marathon lair an hour before it started. Did some hiding and started preparing the sandwiches. A couple of minutes before start of movie marathon. Yeen mysteriously stumbles upon a cute little snowman that was sitting in the remote control pouch. She squeals and starts saying "so cute"s and "thank U"s. Situation becomes insane for a mo and she runs around frantically. then everything cools beofre we start eating. Lovely lovely. * I kinda exaggerated a lot*

Back to start of movie marathon. *the backtrack can be pretty confusing so bear with me. I want to try honing my story telling skills* Death note get pops into the DVD player. Gibberish subtitles appear. The mandarin subtitles make sense, but I read slow. The thai is pretty hard to be read by people that dunno thai. The malay and english ones were plain LAUGHABLE! *nough said*

couple of minutes into the movie and then we gave up. Infernal affairs is popped in at that KICKED off the Movie Marathon. Lovely lovely start...

Movie #1
Infernal Affairs

I think this is my 3rd time watching. Still a good movie and all. Forgot how the show started though. However I knew exactly who was gonna die when. so I can't really judge this movie.
Seriousness factor: 4 of 5
Quotes from Yeen :" how can he die?" "but he's a good guy"
Quotes from Zyenn: "he so cute lar" *referring to Chapman To*

Movie #2
John Tucker Must Die!

Hmm this was pretty good. It was good while it lasted actually. the ending was kinda predictable. it would be nice if it were different but oh well. feel good movies are meant to make people feel good. John Tucker was sizzling... but I prefer the "other" Tucker. I must say though, John Tucker is the luckiest person on earth! I particularly liked the last part where the 3 japanese girls were looking at John Tucker's picture and the last one went:" Holy Jama Lama" (John Tucker must die, 2006)

Laughable factor: 4 of 5
Quotes from Vatty: "what sort of ending is that"
Quotes from Me: "Probably they will all become good friends in the end.. hahaha"
Quotes from Yeen:" He (John Tucker) looks so familiar"
Quotes from Zyenn: "There.... he was in Desperate Housewives"

Movie #3
Silk

Mmmm.. now this one was interesting! It had Chang Chen as the lead actor and some other Japanese actor, which I didn't catch the name though I believe I seen him in a drama serial about doctors before. Chen Bo Lin and Karena Lam was also inside. For some no apparent reason I actually like Karena Lam. Dan't ask me why.. she tends to choose really wierd films too... Oh well.. Back to "The Silk". The story is about how a team of police get to catch a spirit and the Japanese guy is trying to find out how does the spirit continue living on earth.

Pretty interesting show. Though it can be pretty scary at certain parts. this show emphasizes on the mother-son bond which is pretty touching.
Chill factor: 4 of 5
Quotes from Yeen: "Don't look into the eye"
Quotes from me: "where's the silk?"
Quotes from Zyenn: "why the lady must walk like that?", "what is the gf doing there?"
I don't remember wat Vatty said.. sorry eh.... she was probably lost in translation.

Movie #4
Rob-B-Hood

I was actually pretty blown away by this show... maybe not so "kua jiong" lar but it was really entertaining... Plus Jackie Chan is still pretty agile. The jumping scene from one aircond to another reminded me of Casino Royale. The baby is really CUTE.. I like his eyes.... some of the dialogue was pretty corny. Especially the one between Nicholas Tse and Daniel Wu... hahahhaha that scene in particular was crappily funny... hahaha really LOL...

I didn't like the way Louis Koo treated Charlene Choi... so sad... kept asking her to go away... well at least he made up for it. Hopefully I didn't spoil too much for people that haven't seen it.
Fun factor: 4 1/4 of 5 *I'm pretty stingy with my marks*
Quotes from Yeen and Vat: "the baby so cute"
Quotes from Vatty:"What? Broke broke mountain?"
Quotes from me:" the car so nice" lol...

Movie #5
An American Haunting

I must say this is pretty much a horror movie but it hmm... I can't say it's entire horror. It's quite a sad story actually. I say people, U have to see to understand. It was pretty eerie but everything became clear towards the end.
Spook factor: 3 3/4 of 5
Quotes from Yeen: "you won't be scared when the movie ends"
Quotes from Zyenn: "What is he doing hunting at night", "people never learn"
Quotes from me:" cause they didn't have dvd's back then so they can't learn lor"
Quotes from Vatty:" Right very wise of U to play with the kid that no one can see"

Now a little backtrack.
Before the start of Rob-B-Hood we went for some snacks.. or rather it was dinner. We did some more hiding of certain goods.. the previous spot was too hard to be found.... started rob-b-hood and Yeen still hasn't noticed an extra soft thingy lurking in the blanket. she seats and stands and seats repeatedly and finally... "what's this?" "dunno" "why did U bring ur's here?" "maybe it's ur's" "mine is upstairs, it's much longer" "beats me man, mine is at home hanging round my bro's elbow" *purple is Yeen's and blue is the rest of us* And then I forgot wat happened... regardless she received her present and out job is done as she removed the dog's "tongue"

The movie ended at 4 ish in the morning... headed to Yeen's room to dunno do wat.... Reminiscended on the past and chit chatted till teh wee hours of the morning... till daybreak in actual fact... Then one by one each of us dozed of at about 6am... wanted to wake up at 7 ish to continue our marathon. Yeen said :" let's lie down for another 5 mins". And what do you know... 5 mins became 3 hours plus... took our time irritating the sleeping kid. She should be glad we didn't snap pics...

Had our lunch and continued our marathon.... but Vatty left before that so sad..... but the show MUST GO ON! Halloween resurrection was picked out... but I was too freaked out to watch it so was Yeen I guess so we watched Step up instead.

Movie #6
Step Up

Hmm.. as a whole it was pretty disappointing... it was entertaining at certain parts... generally though it was slow. I have a feeling the movie could have just ended in an hour. Heck it might have been better if it were a musical.. hahaha
Dance factor: 3 of 5
Quotes from Yeen and Zyenn: "So slow lar"

soon Zyenn left and it was me and Yeen, we played "speed" and I lost... :( nvm vengeance will be mine... As a whole it was a BLAST! and I got high... oh we named Yeen's toys hahahahhha ok I better sleep. I can't believe I'm still awake... how much energy can be replenished in 3 hours plus? Good nite now... Oh I feel like changing this skin... oh well cheerio!!

Time to be... A giggly 13 year old

2006-12-08T15:41:00.000+08:00

hmmm I originally wanted to do something a "where are they now" thingy on singers. But boy oh boy did I find more interesting news. My first search was Antony of ex-Blue considering the other 3 have thier own albums and stuff.... here's what I found

Antony (ex-Blue member)
- Like his fellow ex band members, went solo
- sadly, it didn't do too well and he was dropped from his label
- he's now in theatre.
*still in the entertainment industry so not too bad I reckon.*
*irregardless, even if he doesn't make it he's still the best.... hehe... grins sillily*

Then I continued my search of 911... They disbanded in 2000 *i think*. I went and search for Lee Brennan first. to my surprise. 911 are actually performing together again. WOW! they performed "Bodyshakin" on dunno wat show. Oh and Lee Brennan is MARRIED! he married Lindsay Armaou of B*Witched fame. How nice actually...
*a little final note, he still has that short crop hair which a lot of people dissed him for when he just cut it... he still looks cute anyway... hehehe*

Next I went to search for Ultra. Remember them? they sang "say it once" *starts singing... Say it once, say it twice.... la la la la la la la la yeah yeah yeah... take my life take my heart.... *

Ultra ( UK Boy band)
- they disbanded in 2000 too... *hmmm a lot of bands disbanded then... couldn't stand the new millennium?
- disbanded cause James the lead singer left.
- James continued studying to be a surveyor. *from musician to surveyor... odd...*
- the rest of the band members formed a new group called "rider"
- my guess is rider didn't last very long either since....
- wait up so I went and search and wow.. wikipedia is really helpful...
- reference... "ultra official website"
- odd how could a band disbanded 6 years ago have a website eh?
- so I went and click and wow... to my surprise....
- Ultra is BACK!
- They have a new album out! *gasp*
- apparently they reconciled...
- haven't heard it yet.. wonder if it's any good...
- the good news is they are back.... * more pop for me, teehee *

Oh well i shall do "Where are they now" thingy some other time.. though I seriously want to know what ever happened to Kavana.... oh welll cheerio... I think I'm a little high on.... giggly 13 year old's idols...

Closet book person?

2006-11-25T12:24:00.000+08:00

Hello... people that read what I write / type. today I have the usual meagre stuff that hardly excites my life... hahaha... ok.. cut to the chase now. I went to the Big Book Shop clearance sale *was it a clearance sale?* yesterday, the one Roberta was talking bout in her blog.

Now I know how people can get obsessed with stationaries.... the notepads all looked so nice! I wanted to get them all! but alas, money wasn't on my side. It was on my mother's.. hahaha.. irregardless got me self a few files and a "workaholic" writing pad I got a little notebook too... The really nice notebooks were all from Double A which is synonymous with?? Good Quality... -.-"

Right so that's what I got. But wait, there's more! I always say that I don't like reading. But everytime when it comes to buying books at clearance sales, I seem to be getting stuff for myself. So am I a book person or am I not? Anyway, believe it or not a "book person" bought not 1 not 2 but 3 books from this here clearance sale. 3 is a lot for a non-bookie don't U think.

The books aren't really famous I think though there is one which is similar to "The Terminal" story staring Tom Hanks. Maybe the movie was based on the book. The other 2 are chic lits. One is obviously chic lit. The other I ain't so sure. They were only RM12 each. what a steal!

Got Amy Tan's book for the coffeeholic *which I presume is also a bookaholic* at only RM19.90... wow... but it was kinda dirty... hahaha.. hopefully she won't mind. Oh I saw Sophie Kinsella's Undomestic Goddess too... but I already have taht so couldn't possibly buy it eh?

Any INXS fans? they are selling thier book at 10 bucks a pop... pretty cheap? oh got archie comics also.. but I think I outgrew that... :( I think that's about it... Oh yeah there was another book that I wanted to buy last time but my Mum said "No way, Jose" *she didn't really say that, she jsut said,"so expensive?" which meant "No way, Jose"* but this time she actually saw it and said it was cheap.. -.-" so she bought it in the end. so I have 4 books actually....

So my question now is "Would a non book person buy so many books *4 books if U haven't been paying attention*"? If the answer is no then I must be pretty clueless of myself. I shall then proclaim myself as a closet book person... kakaka though since the readers of this here blog already know about my bookishness I might not be so closety after all...

No for some little review about the sale. Generally it was ok. there were really few big name writers. thought if U really looked U might find some interesting reads. there were a lot of John Grisham books. Compared to Times clearance sale last time.. this is pretty far off. Most of thier books are from the UK which explains the "not so big names". The normal stuff people read here are mostly from the US which makes thier books more popular. But oh well... a change is good. No?

I'm IT!

2006-11-21T10:59:00.000+08:00

I got tagged so I'm IT. about why I'm IT. I read a Calvin & Hobbes comic strip and Hobbes & Calvin were playing tag and I think Hobbes got tagged so he's IT. Then it went on to what does "IT" do...

Timex, Sick to the Core and Chinese Version

2006-11-11T12:51:00.000+08:00

Oh.. it's almost a week since I last blogged and in that week a lot of stuff has happened. First up, I won a Timex! Wahahhaha but sadly it's a guy's watch so off to my bro it goes. It's an ironman watch not an ironwoman watch but I think I still can wear it even if my bro wears it as his wrist is as thin as mine.... *shudder* I won't be showing a pic of it cause I'm pretty lazy

ok so that was Monday or Wednesday I dunno.. who cares... On Tuesday it was ZiXian's birthday so we went to her house to "irritate" her. "Irritated" she was... nyahahahha. Nah! she was genuinely surprised. Don't want to explain further. If U really want to know U can always click on the Coffeeholic's link. She has a short update on it.

Next up.. I have caught the sick bug.. officially got sick on Wednesday! Major Sore throat and now I'm coughing like mad and the phlegm refuses to come out... Got presentation on Monday that's the worst thing. Hmm... what if I suddenly lose my voice? how then?? I'll try to talk as little as I can, luckily it's already Saturday.

Ah now for some hilarious stuff. Found this link on my blogpatrol. Click here to view. It's a pretty hilarious site. It's a chinese version of my site. I say it's hilarious cause the translation is WAY off. HELP University College is "Bang Zhu Da Xue Xue Yuan" Teeheeehee... So if U know mandarin and want to have a few laughs do click here .

Have fun with it.... Ah previously I talked about a little side project. I think it's kinda on hold at the mo... as most of the other people have exams and we can't really execute our plan yet so I won't link it yet... Besides I still am yet to ask the Evil Devil... so Evil Devil is U see this do leave a comment... hahah

Ok till them *cough**cough* *blows nose* *runs to toilet* *cough* bye now...

Il Mare or The Lake House?

2006-11-05T16:22:00.000+08:00

I finally saw The Lake House after a pretty long time of waiting... and well it kinda met expectations... though some parts fell a little short... since I have seen both the original and the remake.. I shall start comparing... *there might be a little biasness as I kinda like Jeon Ji Hyeon, hahaha *

The Lake House

is the remake of "Il Mare" or "Siworae"

Time to compare
Storyline
Female lead leaves house and leaves a letter in the letter box to inform the next owner about a letter she is waiting for and send it to the new address. The male lead moves in and finds the letter except that it doesn't make sense because the male lead is the first owner of the house. One lives in the future the other lives in the past. They live 2 years apart. Soon they start exchanging letters and find out that the letter box is kinda "possesed" *hahah* and ultimately they both fall in love. But then something happens and some one must stop it from happening.

Ok both movies share the same storyline except that some smaller details are changed a little.

Il Mare: Had a pretty smooth storyline. The love between the male lead and female lead had a build up and the time they spent "together" was a joy to watch. There were no major loopholes.

The Lake House: Although it kinda followed "Il Mare" the storyline was a kinda choppy and some parts of it were not really connected as the storyline was changed a little to give Sandra Bullock a smarter role. Some things didn't make sense like the letter which Sandra Bullock is waiting for.... who is she waiting for? or what letter is she waiting for? The questions were not answered. And how Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves started the relationship was pretty quick... they suddenly asked personal questions about each other and each of them complied... odd...

Verdict: Il Mare's was smoother not choppy too which is already a very good thing.

The House
Il Mare: The house in this movie is by the sea and was built by the male lead's father for the male elad to show his love for his estranged son. This house by the lake is pretty nice... pretty liveable too.. I think...

The Lake House: The house in this movie is by the lake and was built by the male lead's Dad is a tribute to his wife or rather show his love for her. What a beautiful glass house, it's like my fantasy house by the sea. Plus there's a tree in the middle! So cool! The location however seemed a little eerie due to the fact taht there were a lot of tall grasses surrounding the road towards the house.

Verdict: I prefer the Il Mare house cause it's liveable and doesn't have an eerie surrounding. The lake house one kinda lacked privacy... Well it's all glass what did U expect?

Now for the actors!
The character - An Architect who just came back from somewhere and moved into the movie title's house. He recieves a wierd mail and starts exchanging letters with the writer of the mail. Soon he falls in love with the writer of the mail. He is estranged from his father because of what happened in the pass. After the death of his father, he realises how muchhis Dad actually loves him. This is where the similarity ends.

Il Mare's Lee Jung Jae

After falling in love with the female lead, he tries to stop something from happening which proves fatal for him. Lee Jung Jae grasped the role pretty well. I could feel his hatred for his Dad and his love for the female lead. Ah! in Il Mare, Lee Jung Jae character builts a house for Jeon Ji Hyeon's character to show how much he loves her I guess.

The Lake House's Keanu Reeves

In this remake, Keanu Reeves's character has a brother and actually talks to his Dad. I didn't really feel the hatred the character ahd with his Dad. They actually seemed to have a relationship working for them. Probably that's why i didn't feel the hatred for his Dad. Keanu Reeves's character is a very desperate man I must say. He feels so eager to meet Sandra Bullocks character!

Verdict: Lee Jung Jae. Much better acting. Seriously! and I preferred Lee Jung Jae's role. much more manly I would say and wasn't as desperate as Keanu Reeves's character.

Now for the tougher part, the actresses!
This is much tougher as the scriptwriters changed the characters.
First up, Il Mare's Jeon Ji Hyeon

Jeon Ji Hyeon's character works as a voice actress * does voice over for children's programmes*. She left a letter in the letter box of the house by the sea to tell the next owner of the house to send a mail she is waiting for to her. She is actually waiting for a letter from her "boyfriend" which went "dunno where" to study. She has been waiting for about 2 years if I remember correctly. She always felt that she shouldn't have let him go that's why she feels quite miserable actually.

Now for the lake house's Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullocks character is a doctor and like Jeon Ji Hyeon's character left a letter in the letter box of the lake house to tell the next owner to send any letter addressed to her to her new address. From whom the letter she is waiting for was not answered. The scripwriters kinda cut it out from the film I guess. She is msot probably waiting for a letter from her ex-boyfriend i guess but that doesn't make sense as her ex actually gets to call her up and go for dinner... so what letter is she actually waiting for?? She too didn't want to break up with her bf *i think* but somethings just happen.

Verdict: It's hard to compare as both did a good job grasping the characters. But ultimately Jeon Ji Hyeon's character makes much more sense. *maybe cause i like Jeon Ji Hyeon, hahaha *

Fine Moments
Il Mare: When the main characters throw pasta at the wall and when they go out "together".

The Lake House: the image of the Lake House. hahahha frankly speaking, there wasn't much fine moments. the cool part would be when Keanu Reeves booked a table for 2 years later.... and when Sandra Bullock told the name of the reservation to the hostess... heheh

Ultimately I prefer Il Mare over the Lake House some people might think otherwise. There are some things which the Lake House was better. It wasn't as slow as Il Mare that is the plus side. Oh and the Lake House has more characters too... hahaha

To be frank there were stuff in both shows that I didn't like.
For Il mare it was the ending. It would have been more captivating should they not have met in the end. Yeah I know people like happy endings but it would have been nicer if Jeon Ji Hyeon's character wasn't able to stop Lee Jung Jae's character from doing what he wanted to do.

For The Lake House it was the weak storyline. It wasn't woven properly. If it were a piece of clothing it would have been torn up a long time ago. There were plenty of holes that no one would even wear it *that might be a little too exaggerating* but Il Mare definitely wins hands down!

Too heavy to move the mouse?

2006-11-01T19:48:00.000+08:00

Felt like forever since I updated. No I didn't gain too much weight eating the chocolates till I couldn't lift my hand to move the mouse and click on the IE button. No I didn't got too caught up with fate that I forgot about blogging. No I did not vanish from the face of the earth unlike some people I know *Cough* Yeen *cough* hahah just kidding.

I just suddenly became busy. Wierd stuff really. One minute I'm enjoying chocolates and Mahjong another minute I feel burdened with work. Sigh.. what a life. :( Ok I have a new resolution, stop using "..." to replace my "," bad bad thing to do.

Ok now for a little update. Played Mahjong for the first time in my life on the 27th of November. Pretty interesting stuff but I only know how to make the most basic winning hand, which is ok I guess. I want "13 yiu"! hahahah right, next up I have 3 assignments due in November, 2 which are pretty close each other and approximately 2 weeks away and another is just a few days after my mid term. Argh... All the stress ! *come to think of it, I rarely feel very stressed. hmmm a thought to think about*

AHA! I have a new little side project too. With a "Jiadion". wonder if it's a side project. Hmmm.... I might link it up but it's still under close discussions so maybe it won't appear so soon in the near future. Still needs fine tuning. I feel like inviting more people but wonder if "Jiadion" agrees eh?

Hmm enough about updates, time to flee blogger and come back some other time. I got stuff to do and it needs urgent attention as of now. Cheerio!

Scattered Entry

2006-10-26T16:41:00.000+08:00

There is one thing I really like about Singapore. It's it's public transportation mainly thier MRT... it's so integrated U can literally get to anywhere using the MRT, that's how efficient it is. Malaysia is no where near that level... Maybe by 2020 but I doubt so...

Anyway, went to Sinagapore for a day trip on the 25th, was pretty tiring. Went to 3 places, the first is VivoCity, Singapore's largest mall... If I remember correctly thier tagline was "everything you want is here" I guess it really does satisfy thier tagline. Not for me though cause it just reminded me about Shopping Complexes in Malaysia that I would prefer not to go... hahaha

VivoCity reminded me of...
1. KLCC
- cause the MRT exit is in the Shopping Complex itself

2. Alamanda in Putrajaya
- cause VivoCity is next to the sea and Sentosa is right across and Alamanda has a lake next to it so it would be pretty similar. The layout is also slightly like Alamanda but VivoCity is much bigger....

3. Sungai Wang and Lot 10
- like SUngai Wang and Lot 10 which are connected to each other, VivoCity is connected to the Harbour Front another shopping Complex.

4. Berjaya Times Square
- the twist & turns of VivoCity reminded me of this place, though Berjaya TImes Square's is much more complicating...

5. Mid Valley
- to clear the air I would like to say that I don't mind going to MV. the underground area of VivoCity reminded me of Mid Valley... hahah wierd eh?

Yeah so taht's about it... oh the GAP store in VivoCity reminded me of the GAP store which just opened in 1U.. hahahha ah! one thing which VivoCity didn't remind me of is it's........ GODIVA store... it's jsut like a normal store except that it was Godiva! who wouldn't want a piece of Godiva eh? I wanted to get the Chocolixir

but I was too sensible/ rational/ family oriented for my own good and I opted for a small bar of Godiva which is the same price mine U... $8 :(

the small bar which I will let melt slowly in my mouth while savouring it's great taste.

Ok.. enough bout my craziness over Godiva there are other places I went to like China Town and Orchard Road... I like thier ice cream stalls by the road... pretty tasty... and after a tired walk a bar of ice cream is pretty worth it...

Johor Bahru also had it's charm in particular the Duty Free Zone... Got a shirt which I'm starting to doubt whether I will wear... hahaha and alas.... Lots and Lots of Chocolates.. the chocolate were so much cheaper there than the outside. The normal cadbury bar was on RM10... compared to outside which is almost RM15 whahaha..... So the souvenier I got back from Johor is the CHOCOLATES!

the stacks of choccies...

the stacks of choccies from a different angle...

hehehe that's gonna last me until this time next year... wahahhaha oh I noticed something about Singaporean cars... when U see a Mazda,

U see a Singaporean License plate... I'm serious.. every Mazda I saw in Johor belonged to a Singaporean or had a Singapore License plate. So wat is it with Singaporeans and thier Mazda's eh?

ah talking bout number plates, when I was goin back to Kuantan I saw a Proton with the number plate... "BAMbi 1" hehehe so cute.... then again this reminds me of the song by Samson called Kenangan Yang Terindah nice song... really....

Ah... time to leave the scatter entry to fend for itself.. cheerio people.. see U soon... I think

Dear Lady Godiva,

2006-10-26T16:19:00.000+08:00

Dear Lady Godiva,

You have been kind to us common folk by introducing to us such joy and happiness through you exquisite chocolates which I must say are too exquisite that I am lost for words as to how to describe them. Like Heaven I must say.

I have a little question however; why is there a Godiva store in Singapore but not one in Malaysia? Doesn't everyone deserve a little Godiva Chocolates in thier lifes? Yes, there is a little Godiva Kiosk in Mid Valley but will that suffice us Chocolate Cravers/ Indulgers/ Fanatics? I'll bet that a Godiva Store will keep us joyful and happy for the rest of our lifes.

Another thing I must add is these Godiva Chocolates are so exquisite and such an exclusive item that I disregard the price, I'm sure other people would to. So I shall be waiting here in Malaysia patiently for a little store to pop up from under my nose. Take U for your time spent.

Oh Godiva, where art thou?

Salmon Sashimi, Not For Me

2006-10-22T20:08:00.000+08:00

Current State: Lethargic and Stuffed

Cause: Camp & excessive eating *nyahahah*

reasoning: Lethargic - too little sleep, less oxygen, little oxygen reaches brain, brain forces eyes to start closing and a total system shutdown.... or standby since I'm not asleep yet...

Stuffed - Ordered too much stuff and couldn't stop myself from enjoying the great spread... *greedy pig like me can't resist good stuff*

Right so now everyone knows I'm tired and stuffed but not very sleepy yet... waiting for "The Apprentice" might fall asleep waiting though. Now to the main topic about how "Salmon Sashimi is not good for me"

Frankly speaking, I ain't a big fish fan but a pretty big fan of sushi and sushis use mostly seafood but sushi made with raw fish is aplenty and if chosen it shall not be picked onto my plate.... Just came back from dinner at a Japanese Restaurant near me house, quite affordable I would say compared to some other much pricier places, the portions here are pretty big too... Can just order the set and ur filled...

I ordered the California Bento which includes Chawan Mushi, Teriyaki Chicken, Tofu, California Roll, rice and finally 4 thick slices of Salmon Sashimi. The Sashimi was about 0.5 cm thick which would be a luxury for Sashimi lover's or Salmon lovers? *I am just assuming, it might be 1cm too who knows? I didn't bring a ruler with me* I only took 2 smaller slices, the other slices went into the mouths and eventually the stomach of my Dad and Bro....

Actually I dunno where this topic is heading, mind ain't thinking right cause of the low oxygen level... Ah.. I shall not "report" on my camp because I think I have this blogging defect called "selective blogging". *something like selective listening* I'll only blog about stuff that are to meagre for anyone to care about hahahahha..... Oh.. as a conclusion Salmon Sashimi Ain't For Me...

Oh Happy Belated Deepavali/ Diwali people thet do celebrate them... and Selamat Hari Raya to the Muslim mates... who might or might not read this page.... Ah a little additional info, I might be going to Johor for awhile... hopefully it's not tomorrow... I need my beauty sleep like after "The Apprentice"... Ah well.. till next time visitors of this garden, the caretaker is leaving soon, be back for more "garden" related stories.

Utterly Confused...

2006-10-20T11:30:00.000+08:00

How can a country be the richest country yet be in debt at the same time? wouldn't that be contradictary? it's like saying I am the richest person in the whole wide world but I owe a lot of people a huge sum of money. Does that make sense?

This entry is gonna be a really short one... just confused over the first statement and want to share the confusion with everyone... nyahaha... right... oh I can't see Charmaine Sheh on the way back from college anymore, they changed the poster and the pic there is a small person there... I don't even know whether it is Charmaine Sheh or not... sad sad....

Goin to camp later... wonder if it'll be fun.. from the pics the place looks pretty runned down.. maybe we go tehre to repair it.. hahaha.. Ah anyone wants to watch "The Prestige"? sounds really interesting... anyone? Time to leave the Garden Of Destiny... cheerio...

Fate?

2006-10-12T22:55:00.000+08:00

Before I kick off my topic today, I wanna express how I'm getting tired of blogging. And with this I will announce that I shall have to rethink what I watnt o do with this here blog. Should I leave it as it is or continue and churn out total crap every week? maybe it's getting to be such a chore when I force myself to blog about something. Oh well, Oh yeah the Yahoo! Mail Beta Version is Awesome! Like totally awesome. The interface is mind blowing though I prefer parts of the old Yahoo! Mail but the New one is soooooooo much better. U should try it Yourself. good stuff really!

Ok now to more serious stuff. The Topic Today is "Fate". U know how some people always say that everything is meant to be, What is yours is yours, everything happens for a reason. Those statements are normally said by people that believe in fate such as I. But how far does FATE go? Is it fated for me to be typin this entry now at this very moment rather than later in the night? is it fated for me to be blogging even? Is every action taken by us fated? Now I have 3 theories that people might have already thought of.

Theory #1 : What's yours is yours
I feel that some things are fated. Some things being important things, big things not meagre things like typin at the computer, wasting precious time playing Heroes or shaking your leg while munching on snacks. No not meagre things! Important things like an accident, U lost your money, meeting a new friend and so on and so forth. which also means that important events = out of the ordinary events

Since you are fated for a special event, U get to line the path to that event. U can take the scenic route, the long and winding road, the straight forward road or even the dead end road! so to sum it all, everyone is fated for something , no a LOT of things in thier lives, it is how U get there that can be chosen by U as a person. Ultimately "What is yours will always be yours".

This theory is a mix of Fate and your own choices. Even things up. I feel this is the best theory though it needs some further smoothening U know what I mean? This theory is a little rough sketch. argh, next!

Theory #2: Every thing that happens, happens for a reason.
In this theory U as a person that has a totally functional brain can't really choose anything. Everything has already been written in a book kept somewhere in the libraries of the sacred where the higher beings path our lives. Every second of the day when we're sleeping, walking or eating is fated. Every thing I type is fated, Everything I look at is fated, every typo is fated as well.

This theory doesn't need much explanation right? As a conclusion, U have no choice here. God does all the hard work. Ur it's puppet. This theory makes God reallt busy and our lives being totally useless. Irregardless off to Theory #3.

Theory #3: The Butterfly Effect
Ever heard of the Butterfly effect where a butterfly's simple flutter of wings can change the course of the entire future? See when a butterfly flutters it's wings, it creates some sort of wind. The wind might transfer some pollen to a nearby flower and the flower blossoms, the blossoming flower might bear fruit and the fruit is then eaten by an animal which transfer the fruit to a whole new place when the animal become satisfied it looks for other things is wanders off, its predator eats it off and grows stronger and then one day a human kills the animal's predator as meat to feed the humans family. See all these can happen with a simple flutter of a butterfly's wings. This is my adapted idea, the real idea of the butterfly effect is "that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately causes a tornado to appear".

My fate theory is something like that but on a much less phenomenal scale. Its like a chain reaction. Following theory #1 but slight changes. See in this theory fate plays its part right when U are born. The first choice U take builds the foundation for your next fated event. Every different chocie U take leads U to a different event. Only the very first event is fated. The rest of your choices are up to U, the choices are not fixed, but the events linked to the course is fixed but U still get to choose which course U would want to take.

Example: U can choose routes A, B or C. The A route leads U to the AA event, the B route leads U to the BB event and the C route leads U to the CC event.

In this theory it is choices after choices after choices, not much is done by the higher powers. Most of the stuff is done by U and U only. The first event that was fated would be your very birth and then on you are all on your own. Everything is in your own hands. Of course your death would be fated too.

End of theories
Hope U liked the above theories. Though there are only 3. I think however that all these theories can be linked up, how? I haven't gotten to it yet, this takes time, a hell lotta it. THis is what day dreamers like me do. Think too MUCH! hahaha oh well if U have your views about fate do tell, I wanna expand my views, open my mind get some enlightenment!

Right i better split now... Oh do tell me which one is the better one though frankly there would be different answers considering everyone is different in thier own way and not everyone believes in fate anyway which makes them the theory number 3 followers? hahah right I shall split now. Good Night people! Don't flip outta bed. Nyahahaha

P.S. Did U notice that there are VERY few "..."?

of A Rat and A "Treasure Hunt"

2006-10-06T20:46:00.000+08:00

ah... I'm kinda late on this considering I was pretty busy and a little too lazy to blog.. nyahaha... ok this happened on Wednesday, Movie Marathon Day (MMD). Normal everyday routine continued, brush teeth etc... headed down for a really light breakfast... packed me stuff and waited.... for my ride to come by... *that sentence sounded pretty nice, hahha*

Went to the toilet to wash me hands. Pushed open the door and there it was scurrying around... a black rat which I presume is quite small ran outwards towards the door. I standing at the door tried avoiding the rat, slipped and ended up smack on the floor... Was a pretty hard Knock I presume though there were no loud thuds. Called for me mum and went to the doctor's... Luckily nothing broke and I didn't need stitches or anything... just lots of icing to me chin.... And now I'm left with a "beard" like bruise on my chin... ish ish... apparently it looks like a birth mark too... hahahha I thought of hiding it up with make up but me mum said "how much make up also won't cover it" -.-" ah well.. i think just leaving it there would do... I don't really care, though I think people might stare. *hey... it rhymes* I was well enough to go gallavanting so Yeen picked me up...

Went to her house to prepare Zyenn's present... *darn... how much trouble we go to* The present was a "Treasure Chest" so we decided to have a treasure hunt for her to look for her own present.... after we prepared everything and stuck the maps around we kidnapped her... though frankly speaking she willingly climbed up the car even though we didn't want her to get in... * the car was locked and she was pulling at the handle still.... hahahha *

Then we headed to 1U to try out Italliannies's "Never Ending Bowls Of Pasta". Not bad not bad... though couldn't really eat much... Ate a plate and a half.. that's all... then walked around and did stuff that people normally do at malls....

Reach Yeen's place and started the "Treasure Hunt". Vat helped Zyenn out a lot... cis cis.... after erm... 30 mins? she found her present.. hahaha As a conclusion, she would make a lousy pirate. Oh half way through finding her present... she helped me discover my pressie... hahahah Got a T-Dog but it says that I can call em G-Dawg so I guess it's name is G-Dawg? *what does G stands for?*

Now I'm lazy to talk about MMD so I shall talk about it some other day... *pretty odd since the stuff above happened on MMD* Till then I shall bid farewell and run off and play my beloved game.... ah.. results are out.. hmm ain't that satisfied and I think I-Rene lied to me... cis cis...

How Do Crazy People Go Through The Forest?

2006-09-29T22:54:00.000+08:00

I came across this pretty fascinating site where it has everything dumb after all the website's name is dumb... I'll tell U the answer later.. so U have to read on... nyahahahaha

Right.. HOLIDAY is only ONE week left... that's so short... I shall try and pack my last week with whatever I can.... now this here entry is going to be mixed with a lot of unrelated stuff so bare with me... *they might have a connection, but I wouldn't know that or I don't wanna know...* Anyway.... I'm going Kuantan 2morrow... so I can horde all the "com-fat food" (Zyenn, 2006). Which is way bad... but who cares when there is keropok lekor literally everywhere.... with all this fattening stuff one needs exercise so....

I went to FRIM today... i woke up at 6:20 am... even earlier then when I would when was still in secondary school... *I only wake up at 7 when I was in secondary school.. hahahah maybe not so late lar... * When I stepped out of the house, it was still dark, though not pitch black... I went with me Mum, Divya and her Mum, Her Mum and my mum are friends.. I see a cycle here.... oh well... It was pretty ok.. didn't feel the time pass though... It took about an hour... The hill wasn't very challenging to me... although I must admit I'm pretty unfit... It was just a little steep at the start and that's about it... There was a canopy walkway but we didn't take it...

After that had breakfast and went home... a few minutes later me and me Mum came out again and headed for IKEA... bought a side table and some CD storage case... forgot to tell ZiXian I was going.. sorry eh....

So with all the exercise one would have cut some of the "com-fat food" (Zyenn, 2006). But far from the truth that statement was, as I made a batch of really soft Truffles a couple of days ago... nyahahah... sorry I can't really treat any of my readers cause it's too soft that U have to literally eat it at the fridge door. So unless U really want em.. U have to drop in... but I doubt U could cause I won't be in 2morrow onwards.. nyahahhaa ok... the Truffles was fairly easy... but I wanted it to be harder.. and yeah.. it's really SINFUL...

Aha another wodnerful event coming up... MOVIE MARATHON!!!! yes.. It has finally arrived... the much awaited, much anticipated, much thrilled for MOVIE MARATHON is back... *my guess is it's a yearly thing now.. haha* so I guess this would be MMII? *makan mnyak 2.... hahah* right... ok I'm ending this.. so have U figured out the answer to the title?

How Do Crazy People Go Through The Forest?
They take the psycho path.

P.S. I did not make the joke up.... don't cuss me.. hehe

22nd on the 23rd

2006-09-23T23:15:00.000+08:00

ah... a long an eventful day it has been.... I want to blog about the 22nd on the 23rd as soon as possible will the memories are stills trong in my mind... I guess the stuff that is running around your mind would be dates... how can the 22nd be on the 23rd? have i lost me marbles?

haha well.. I attended a wedding reception today. It was at Banker's Club, a place where only bankers go? The place was in KL right next to Low Yat, the Amoda Building? ah.. there... pretty short jam on the way there and there was a little confusion with the parking... oh.. well..

Went into the elevator and searched for the number 22... was scrutinizing the numbers when AHA.... there it is.. "Bankers Club" with a small 22 by it's side... proof of its prestigiousness eh?

Pressed it and soon "TING" we had arrived... a step into the room and U can imagine the abnkers smoking cigars drinking wine while closing a huge business deal... of course old comes into the mind.. whahahah oh the chandeliers was real nice... In my opinion the Bankers Club gives an impression that it caters for men... like the masculine gender.. I don't know why... but there is a dance floor so maybe it ain't half bad.

Reached at about 6.45pm and it was the cocktail reception... Hors d'oeuvres were handed out on trays, Whisky, Wine and punch too were served... I grab meself a punch and sipped away while all the auntie and uncles talk... I jsut stood there and listen and they would occasionally ask what am I doin now.. etc...

There was this funny situation where I called my Aunt and then after that she went "who is this?" *in canto* I just laughed.... wahhahaha hilarious... oh well.. we only meet during weddings so no surprise there... there is a baby that is so darn cute... real chubby... wanted to pinch him.. but my hand was holding the punch so it was cold... don't wanna freeze the baby do we now? The boy is the son of my mum's cousin... ah....

Another complicating relationship is my mum and the bride and bridegroom... let's see... the bride's mum is my grandmum's sister and the bridegroom's grandmother is my grandfather's cousin sister.... and all this is on the ladies part of my family... so its like a unison of my grandad and grandmum's family again... *second generation?*

Ok after the coctail reception the bride was led down a stairs towards the stage... she like all bride's on thier wedding day was beautiful... I actually liked the wedding dress... hehe.. the escorts were small little girls and boys which were real adorable... Right... the bridegroom and bride walked to the stage to cut the cake and pour the Champagne over a champagne tower mind U... and the bridegroom gave a short speech thanking the people who were there...

After that is was dinner time, the cute little escorts were told that they were free and they went "YAY".. hahaah k.... so me, mum and dad were seated at table 7... right next to the main table... there were 15 tables on the first floor... the second floor I have no clue. My guess is table 7 is a real IMPORTANT table.. since the bride's mum's sisters were all there... except my grandma who couldn't make it that's why I was told to stand in on her behalf... I felt so privileged... what an honour.... Hey even my mum's brothers and sisters weren't invited due to the lack of seats and I was there... imagine my power... wahhahahahha

Right... I think I drank too much wine... the placement of things was pretty neat... they left a small message rolled up and tied in a ribbon on the table... It was the Menu... *Neat Stuff, has this romantic feeling too* Frankly speaking the food wasn't that good although I must admit the "hong dou sa" was pretty impressive... *hong dou sa is.... grinded red bean soup?* The atmosphere however was really nice.. the ambience an all... Right on the 22nd floor.. the top floor overlooking the city... beautiful sight... really... a first for me at least.... sadly there was no Shanghai pancake for dessert... I always look forward to that dessert but oh well.. hopefully the next one has that... nyahahahha

Before the dinner the bride came round to our table and I called her Auntie which felt really long considering it was her wedding day and she looked more like a sister than an auntie but she's my mum's cousin so Auntie is right but it seemed so wrong in that situation... ah.... forget it...

There was of course the mandatory "Yum Seng" and as this was the table that needed to be respected the "Yum Seng" wasn't so long... Cannot main-main with elders mar... then towards the end of the reception the guests were invited to dance ... That was what the dance floor was... suddenly.. there was a disco in the Club... hahaha no one at my table danced... besides they were talking interesting things... so I listened and laughed....

We could however hear the music at the dance floor *it is linked* there was "Play that funky Music white boy" which is pretty weird... i dunno why... the weirdest thing however was they played Anita Ward's Ring My Bell... I can imagine the guests dancing to it while holding a bell and ringing the bell when Anita went... "U could ring my bellllllllll.... ring my bell... my bell... ring my bell....." some weird imagination i have... if they did start ringing it would be a total disaster....

The toothpicks had "Bankers Club" Written on it... another sign of it's prestigiousness? we left at about 11 when the guests were dancing.... All in all this wedding was pretty fun... maybe because I was high on wine? haha impossible... It wasn't half bad.. at least people were talking and all... I think smaller weddings are better than bigger weddings... what do U think?

Now for afternotes..... I never ahd so much wine before... 2 glasses... not bad... actually there wasn't much alternative... there was chinese tea... but U know Chinese tea ain't nice when it becomes cold and the waiters / waitresses weren't quick in pouring tea so... it was empty most of the time... so I only had wine to drink....

U know how certain things affect how U think... I think this wedding did just that... Now I'm thinking what I want to do with my wedding... first thigns first .. Shanghai Pancake... GOOD Shanghai Pancake is a must....

Apart from that I'm thinking of getting dresses and stilettos and the works... *by works I mean that I have no idea what other stuff there is* I told my mum I wanted a cheong sam... then she said.. what if U become fatter... then I went OH... with my eyes widening... hehehe then I thought maybe I could get a little black dress which every girl has... *i doubt it works here thought* I was thinking black is kinda bleak... why not light pink? or Fiery Red?

Then at one point during the dinner when everyone was talking I was actually thinking what it would be like if I went for Prom/ Ball... weird weird... hahahha Somehow I think I think too much... makes the mind think I guess...

I shall now call it a day at exactly 12 am... according to my computer clock... I shall retire to bed now.. after i do certain stuff... hehehe ok now.. cheerio... and an after thought that I want answers to: Does Wine make people drunk?

Cendol..

2006-09-23T11:57:00.000+08:00

First things first... WELCOME to the Garden of Destiny... wahhahahah sounds so corny... oh well... so this is the new skin... pretty ncie I must admit and the guy that made this is apparently only 14.... wow... nothing new really.. not like i have a hangman like Roberta's... The old one was getting pretty well.. old.. so a refreshing change... I'm suddenly drawn to green lately.. wierd wierd phase...

Now of to Cendol... hehe had the best cendol on Monday.... the ice shaving were the right size, as in it melted perfectly well, no big chunks of ice for U to crack ur teeth with... and the cendol was so freaking soft and smooth that it literally slid into my throat... oh what joy... then there was the gula melaka... just the right amount to make this bowl of cendol so heavenly.... Once I finished my bowl, I was tempted for another... but bad for health it is.. so no more... haha

Oh pulut can be added on the cendol but they were out that day so I have to wait longer.... if ur wondering where this stall is then go ahead and ask... if your leaving in the Klang Valley and hoping for a quick fix.. ur hopes are hopelessly crushed... U have to travel for at least 3 hours to get it... muahahahha ok just a short post this time round... hope U guys like the new skin like how I have liken it... Cheerio

Hooked On Heroes

2006-09-15T14:37:00.000+08:00

It's holiday time and that means I get plenty of computer time... and the computer time is all squandered on a game... sad eh... but wat can I say I'm hooked... eversince the 3rd installment... cause of cheats.. wahahha So this Holiday won't be filled with building houses for my sims *which btw has a new expansion that deals with animals, it's either out or coming soon* instead its filled with "Heroes Of Might and Magic V"... terrific.. simply terrific...

Hmmm wat can I say about it... The graphics are amazing... I already put my graphics at very low but U can still see the detail in the graphics like the tree leaves moving when the wind blows... the waves crashing on to the rocks... like wow... so darn amazing... and there are more types of characters to play... first up is the Normal human, next human's arch enemies the demons... there is the necromancer, elves, warlocks and I think there is one more... I forgot.. besides haven't reached there yet...

I'm currently playing the Necromancer campaign, the 3rd campaign after the Human campaign and the Demon Campaign... the coolest Hero so far is Agrael from the Demon campaign... This game is plain addictive... U can just play and play and play and play... hehe.. though if U play too long the battle part can be a little boring... Although its called "Heroes of Might and Magic", I've been using more might than magic.. but I'm trying to use more magic now...

Now off to the characters... I like the human campaigns Angel... very bergaya.... hahaha here's a little pic... inset is his pic when U hire em...

But the Archangel is far better.. and I prefer the Archangel to the angel.. it's actually an upgrade of the Angel lar.. the whiter and stronger version.. not to mention more bergaya version.... haha

here's another pic on the Archangel at work.. just killed an enemy... so darn bergaya...

Oh there's also an elven hunter which I feel is like "Legolas" hahaha well since Legolas is elvish and an archer so.. pretty much suits the bill.. here's the pic...

I know in my previous post I said I had a lot of stuff to blog about.. I think I would be able to blog about it, as I'm already addicted.... maybe when the craziness of it has faded away I'll come back to earth.... for now.. I'm trying to relief my addictedness by watching a movie.. teehee... oh well.. till then... cheerio...

The Shoe Fairy

2006-09-09T20:29:00.000+08:00

Ah... the end of the exmas but a little short assignment left... better do it fast but since it's already considered my holiday I shall blog a little first.... First up, I finally watched "The Shoe Fairy" and I have something really really important to let out.... IT IS.... "Vivien Hsu's legs are so BEAUTIFUL" might be a little skinny lar but still very nice... especially with beautiful accesories like the shoes....

another thing to say... the show has tonnes of shoes.... basically its a pretty interesting show... very fairy tale like... quite funny in a way... the characters in the movie are pretty odd though... i won't tell the story cause I'm too lazy for that... hehehe... my face can't even work up a smile... unless chocolates suddenly appear in front of my eyes.... muahahhaha

right.. i'll give glimpses of it though... There are somethings that are just plain cute... like.. when Vivien Hsu's character needed to go to the dentist the narration was "Wai mian you yi ke hen da de ya zai xiao, li mian you yi ge hu si zai mi mi xiao" ok so it isn't that funny here but still cute... *translation: there is a big smiling teeth outside and a nurse inside smiling "mi mi-ly"?* lol... anyway... ah the dentist's name is the cutest... his name is actually "Wei Xiao" *translation: smiling* hahaha oh well... overall a pretty entertaining show.. though i had to keep my ears open since the subtitles were a little wrong...

Ok secondly, The All-American Rejects won best group video at the VMA.... yeh yeah... congrats to them... since VMA has ended the banner at the side is gone too... thirdly [ v ] has finally published her blog... I'm yet to look at it... sadly I ain't the first... cause she conveniently finished it up before my exam ended... oh well... i shall add her link a little later.... this is the first time I ever blogged about puting a person's link in my blog.. the previous ones were all added in surreptitiously... oh well... lucky her...

4th item... I have lots of stuff to blog about but I'll take my own sweet time... enjoy the moment.... ah.. now its time for me to get back to me work... cheerio....

Car Park Friday

2006-08-19T22:59:00.000+08:00

Ok.. now I shall official blog about I-Rene's bday since it was such a SHOCKER! ahha.... but first.. I would like to inform readers that i shall stop blogging for a couple of weeks or so... to keep myself from all kinds of distractions... now.. to wat happened yesterday...

Yesterday I woke up at 10 and hopped into my mum's car and went to HELP.. hahah.. before that got calls and sms about ZiXian not driving her car, Shu Ying is already at HELP and stuff like that... reached 7- eleven in search for poppish things... then Shu Ying came... but 7 eleven didn't have the spray thingy so we decided to walk to Giant to find it... however; due to some certain unforeseen circumstances we bumped into I-Rene on the way to Giant... *i had a wierd feeling that we would bumped into her at the staircase so I walked slowly behind a pretty big sized guy while Shu Ying walked rather quickly in front* she saw us anyway.. so we went Giant together...

I-Rene followed Shu Ying while I went in search for the party stuff... the darn Shu Ying told I-Rene that I was gonna buy some stuff that women use periodically... Giant didn't have any and SIn Ying already reached McD so we asked I-Rene to teman her while me adn Shu Ying went to 7 eleven to buy the poppish stuff... we reached Sin Ying's car and ZiXian was already inside...

then Sin Ying drove us to Bangsar where we had "fake" dim sum... hahahha *it's vegetarian dim sum lar* I was pretty anxious as I wanted to know how vegetarian "har kao" look like... it wasn't half bad... then we ordered siew mai and other normal dim sum while we slowly enjoyed the fragrance of our "heong pien" tea... we ordered pau also... wanted custard pau....

so the dim sum slowly arrived as we chattered and ate and stuff.. oh yeah Pui Kuen and her Koh Koh came awhile after we reached... then as the dim sum slowly "fled" the pau was left... they left the lid on the pau "loong" to keep its warmth... *i think* oh before that I told them that no one can eat MY custard pau first... must be the first... *mana tahu they so guai.. hahahha *

Then I opened the lid for the custard pau and took the Happy Birthday tag out and cucuk-ed it into the pau... I-Rene closed her eyes so won't spoil the "surprise" Then after that I tried to cucuk the candle but the candle didn't want to go in... hahahha put it together with the tag in the end... the Pui Kuen ask me to poke in more somemore.... where got space?? *apparently I-Rene knew I was gonna poke it in.. how she knew I dunno... probably because we were dropping alot of hints.. *

Then we asked her to open her eyes and we sang her birthday songs *note I used songS instead of song* . We sang her 3 version of bday songs, the english version, the mandarin version and the cantonese version. I think we should ahve sang the hindi and malay version too... the customers around us that just sat at thier table kept looking at us... even the waitresses were staring at us... probably they were thinking "wah so special, no cake also can sing bday song... I want.. " *most probably is.. wat the... -.-""" no cake also sing bday song.. where got people poke candle into pau and treat it as a cake one? probably thinking.. this bunch of kids must be crazy... *

ok.. then i gave her the present after she made the madatory wish and blowing out teh candle thingy... her expression and other related stuff are in the previous post... "5 6 pick up stix" pretty joyful stuff... now I know why personal presents are so much better than mass manufactured ones.. * actually I knew it before.. but oh well*

then we continued eating.. we ordered the "birthday noodles"? that was wat it was named as in the menu... learned a couple of things about Sin Ying and Fan Quan Shui... we soon left for class though.. don't wanna be late... oh but we were... heheh

the sky look terribly cloudy and dark as we boarded the bus.. if it rain.. it would be a wash out for wat we had in store.... we reached the class and settled down and it soon poured.... I was pretty worried and pretty excited at the same time.. hahahha oh well...

After class Shu Ying rushed back to the main block to find Khai Shien that DIDN't charge her phone before comin out.. cis cis.. she was suppsoed to buy the cake for I-Rene's second surprise... Wan Yian, Yung Hui, Li Lee and May Yoong also gave her a present which she eagerly changed into... everyone left as we stalled time for Khai Shien and Shu Ying to prepare... oh Siu Fai too...

kept sms-ing and calling... hahaha then we finally caught the bus back to the main block... Luckily it already stopped raining...then as we got of Aaron already took Irene to the car... and Shu Ying was standing there... I didn't hear her reasoning... luckily Aaron stopped though or our plan would have went bust... me and ZiXian quickly went into the main building and dragged KS on the way... but too bad I-Rene already saw her... then me and ZX hung around the registry and wanted to go to the car park but I-Rene was "on guard at the door". She saw us and then we hide.. hahaha but I went and wave lar to ease her suspicions...

since she was at the main door me and ZiXian had to take teh longer way to the car park... through the stairs at the basketball court...

do allow me to illustrate... it was as if we were running away after stealing some stuff from HELP... we ran up the staircase while I called Pui Kuen to ask her to stall time... the marathon officially started at EXIT 2... we started running towards the staircase as I-Rene was already walking towards her car and Pui Kuen had no idea how to stall her anymore... oh. ZiXian was wearing slippers so susah for ehr to run also... yum gong... it was like a 200m sprint to the top of the staircase.. then a 200m descend to the basketball court and then a 100m sprint to the abck of I-Rene's car where Shu Ying and Siu Fai were waiting with the cake to spring the surprise...

waited for I-Rene to arrive as Me, Shu Ying , ZiXian and Siu Fai kumpuled at I-Rene's car's butt.... it was freaking hot too.. shu ying was pretty anxious cause she fumbled to get the poppish stuff out... i was just plain tired... Siu Fai was the watch dog... he reported teh situation while we waited and kept askin him whether they are comin alread or not? he look like some sort of cop waiting to bust a crook doing illegal stuff

Luckily Pui Kuen managed to stop I-Rene from going to her car... and she didnt see us either.. hahhaa me and ZiXian were pretty darn tired.... then Pui Kuen called and scolded me then they continued on.... as I-Rene reached her car door.. we came out and sprung the poppish thingy... ZiXian's poppish thing hit her nose.. luckily she didn't need plastic surgery... then we sang Happy Birthday again... and then we ate cake.. and then

Aaron pushed I-Rene's face into the cake and they started fighting... eventually both had cake in thier hair.. as Shu Ying and KS busy chatted at the car.. hahahah to clean out I-Rene's hair.. we celuped her hair into her water bottle and the water became "cake water" so gross.... After that Aaron and Shu Ying played with the cake water with the cake water eventually went on to Shu Ying's jacket... too bad... * as U should noticed I'm already tired typing this so its getting shorter and shorter...*

In all it was a really good celebration... very special too... I-Rene should be glad... hahha though there were some unforseen circumstances but it went well anyway... she was surprised so mission accomplished... time to go home and rest... so here i am typin bout her bday after she gave her consent lar... hahhaa Oh Aaron gave ehr a dinosaur soft toy * i think its a dinosaur* and Siu Fai gave her some soap from body shop... * i guess he knew she was goin to get really dirty... hahahah *

So that's it... very lengthy U see.... now I can't wait for September where Movie Marathon will come round for the second time... whoopee.... till next time... cheerios...

5, 6, pick up stix

2006-08-18T23:17:00.000+08:00

I'm too tired to blog.. but today is pretty interesting so... i shall persevere... I have a feeling this is going to be a long post........ be patient ....well today is I-Rene's birthday and boy did we have plans today for her... but first I shall tell the things that happen prior to this eventful day....

Couple of weeks before I-Rene's bday, i was joking to her that since she likes saying "horrible things" which requires other people to say "choi" or "touch wood" I suggested to her that I'll give her a piece of wood for easy convenience since a lot of stuff this days are made of plastic... *actually it always happened in class and I would sometimes tell I-Rene that she should carry a piece of wood around*

So i went looking for pieces of wood on my way back... i actually saw some in a drain along the road I walk home... but who in thier right mind would go pick up some wood from the drain? So I left it at that... I actually kinda left the idea in the cold... but I still wanted to give her some wood... oh well...

planned with the people.. and then asked Shu Ying "what about my wood?" she say "U kao tim urself" cis cis.... so yesterday on my way back I went picking up wood.. kinda last minute... I actually picked up a pretty fine piece of branch from a corner pretty near HELP... *I had a dried wood in mind, about the length of my feet* so I picked it up and walked to the bus stop where I finally found a piece of wood that triggered my "creativity"... It was a stick, i picked up the stick and left the branch at the bus stop... i actually went up the bus with a piece of wood... I was pretty embarassed actually... hahaha

Ok reached the bus stop.. and took the "scenic route" the route where I'll cross a playground so I could pick up more sticks... *which reminds me of the 5 6 pick up stix nursery rhymes which I have already forgotten the lyrics to* I kept my eyes peeled for stix along the road... there were a few cars passing by but not many many people walking.... I wanted to go into the playground to search for more stix but gave up when I saw 3 indian ladies probably about 20 chit chatting there... so I walked along the road as I look for my stix... the ladies were like erm.. 10m away?

I felt wierd picking up stix along the road as the 3 ladies were chit chatting... wonder if they were chatting bout me... hahaha wonder if they were thinking "wat's this crazy person doin? wat's she pickin stix for?" well I was thinking that... of course I came up with a pretty good reason... I think.. "I'm picking stix for camping" just in case anyone wanted to know... u know to satisfy thier curiosity..

I reached home and went out again to the nearest playground and pick more stix... I reached hoem and actually washed my "harvest". I was layign them out on the wall between me and my neighbours house when my Mum said "Later our neighbour throw the stix away ah, go dry them behind lar"... So i dried it behind lar.. haiyo... there's one paricular one where I actually removed the bark... so its like extra smooth...

I actually wanted to jsut tie them in a bunch then give it to I-Rene but my Mum say go wrap it lar.... I went: "huh? so kua jiong meh?" Mum: "must be kua jiong mar" so I actually wrapped it.. so the others will be surprised too... and anxious to find out what it was too... I did I pretty bad wrapping job.... but oh well... oh before that.. I tied it with Rafia string.. so it would be like a bundle of stix instead of a couple of loose ones... i also tied it in a way that it can be hanged.... hahhaha for convience sake... *now this reminds me of the story about an old man teaching his children about sticking together, the one where the fella break one stick but can break a bunch of em... *

So today I gave it to I-Rene during lunch... after singing song and all.. Before singing the birthday song she asked me "eh I thought U supposed to give me a piece of wood, wood neh?" I said.. "oh don't have lar"
The others were like "eh where did that present come out from?"when I gave her the present... she slowly opened it... I had to kinda guide her.. since it was pretty crappy wrapping... She saw her present inside and said "stupid" and then started laughing... hahahha the others were still pretty clueless except for Shu Ying *she knew i was going to give her wood but dunno in wat way* actually I didn't really see her initial expression... ish ish...

oh regardless.... now I think the bunch of stix will rot in her room or get burned when she has no electricity... or maybe she'll carry one around hahahhaah then dirty her clothes.. hehe

oh well.. that's about me picking up stix... the whole bday celebration shall be posted only after the bday girl post hers.... Bday girl has the right for her first bday post unless of course she doesn't want to.... though i might not post it soon cause I need to study too.. so till then.. ciao...

[ v ]

2006-08-13T00:05:00.000+08:00

alrite.. the [ v ] above doesn't stand for channel [ v ], it's a whole different [ v ] all together... the [ v ] i know... is a person... who.. who.. eh... nvm.. she is the person that needs no introduction... hahah

now.. I want to blog about [ v ] cause she owes me her blog add.... hahahah how boring can i get eh? i wonder how long have i waited... I think i already waited for about a month or more maybe 2... i think it was even before her exams...

this is where the story starts... she starts askin me about blog stuff... around her mid sem i think... i ask her for the add she says wait till i have my first post or was it wait until i find the right skin... understandable... totally... I asked her to quickly find a skin then tried and help her find... which wasn't mush help cause I didn't know wat she wanted anyway apart from "Raymond Lam"... hahaha oh plus she didn't have time to adjust the skin and stuff like that cause exams are round the corner....

after her exams she told me she found her skin... she fixed it and stuff like that and the entry part was too small... so she wanted another one... so have to wait longer.... while i keep pestering her to give me the add first... *i must be darn irritating*

now she's on holiday but working... and dunno when she's adjusting the template... last week she said it would be done then .... this week i messaged her and it's still not completed... she has come face to face with some obstacles.... probably she wasn't fated to have a blog eh? hahahah

Oh I told her i would blog about me waiting for her blog... then she said go ahead.. so here i am approximately 24 horus later.. telling all my readers how long I have waited for some ones blog.. hahahahhaha.. oh well.. if the blog does come "alive" I'll be the FIRST to read it, the FIRST to comment * if I do*, the FIRST to tag, the FIRST to link... *of course the first would actually be her so I'm actually more like the first visitor*

Oh I think wat's taking her so long is because she's quite a perfectionist... hahahhah hopefully it would be done soon so i can waste my precious study time there and spam her... oh.. how free am I?

Nada Surf - Always Love

2006-08-08T20:29:00.000+08:00

To make a mountain of
your life is just a choice
but i never learned enough
to listen to the voice that told me

always love
hate will get you every time
always love
don't wait ‘til the finish line

slow demands come around
squeeze the air and keep the rest out
it helps to write it down
even when you then cross it out
but always love
hate will get you every time
always love
even when you want to fight

self-directed lives
i want to know what it'd be like to
aim so high above
every card that you get dealt you

always love
hate will get you every time
always love
hate will get you
and i've been held back by something
you said to me quietly on the stairs
you said
hey you good ones

This is a pretty old song but there's something pretty captivating which I can't really explain...
I guess the fella is saying love instead of hate... which is SO obvious.... This entry is just a bout the song and I ain't much of a music critic I just think it's a really nice song... and wnat to share it with everyone... It doesn't sound like a sexually explicit song either.... hahahhah *read today's Star* I wonder if rock has sexually explicit songs.... hmmmm... I'll try to put in the music later. But i might not after all if I forget.. I am pretty absent minded.... oh even better just check out thier myspace http://www.myspace.com/nadasurfny go in let it load and then the song appears... hahhaha so simple jeez.... go here it.. nice stuff...

Paddington Bear

2006-08-05T12:17:00.000+08:00

I'm suddenly interested in Paddington Bear for some not so obvious reasons.... I actually watched a couple of episodes of it before... but that was a pretty long time ago... Don't you think Paddington is raelly cute... heheh

Did You Know?

Paddington was named after the station he was found in...

his real name is Pastuso

He was born in the darkest of Peru
He's an orphan

that there is a Paddington Bear toy bigger than a person

He has cocoa and buns with his friend Mr. Gruber

The family he stays with are the Browns

Ok that's about all i know I think... ah.... I added it in... welll that's about it.. hahaha enclosed in this entry is a picture of Paddington himself taken from Paddingtonbear.co.uk

Enjoy the pic.. now for the usual updates... finally had a class of elementary law... sounds like history all over again.... nvm just hope that things will get better.... I actually "napped" for 2 hours yesterday.... *jaw drops* I cut my hair yesterday... asked the fella to TRIM it... but she CUT it in the end... so it's shorter already... :( ish ish... plus my fringe looks wierd.... *silly Irene surely say, yer.. wen wen so cute.... -.-" * nvm.. it was an ok hair cut so i don't care... besides, hair grows...

Well that's about it.... oh the samsung website has this Shinhwa webpage thingy and there's this who's ur ideal Shinhwa member where U pick answers and from there they calculate who matches ur personality... :( I couldn't get Dong Wan... sad case... Could Get Eric Moon don't... hahahha guess things aren't always how U want it to be..

I'm opening a cake house!

2006-07-29T20:49:00.000+08:00

Would U believe that... Me opening a cake house... could be because I wanted to be a patisserie after watching Kim Sam Soon... hahahha ok we'll come to that later...

I just had me dinner.. and I have a little pic of it... heheheh I was bored..

it was pretty big, ham, cheese, carrots, lettuce, fried egg and WALA... my dinner... took 1/2 an hour to devour the whole thing... now I'm stuffed like hell... shouldn't have made it 3-tier... sad case... saturday nite and haev to eat dinner alone... :( *alone again... naturally....* oh I added carrots this time and some tomato sauce too.... much delicious this time round... normally my sandwiches can be pretty bland... cause lack of resources... no tomatoes this tiem round so i had to be creative a little... the carrots added crunch to the sandwich.. not bad...

my plan was to start doin my work at 8pm but I was still preparing my dinner at 8pm... and now it's almsot 9 and I'm blogging... -.-" i was suppsoed to start preparing my dinner at 7.00pm but circumstances didn't allow it.. cicumstances being ZiXian kept laughing at me...

yesterday went to Yeen's house to watch tv.... *that didn't soudn very right* went to school to collect me certs too... did a little shopping before crashing Yeen's place... Yeen said there aren't any canned pasta sauces... I begged to differ.. so here's the proof

The Supermarket Queen has to be dethroned....

right.. now to the cake house part... I'll be opening a cake shop soon.. and I already lsited down a couple of cakes.

#1 - Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake *though there ain't much swirl in it*

#2 - Espresso Cheese

#3 - Mango Delight
#4 #5 #6 #7 - 4 wonders * stupid name I know... or would 4 tempting/delicious/unforgettable/sudden/lame a better name?*

If U still haven't figured it out... I ain't opening a cake house... I ain't gonna be a patisserie either... those were teh cakes I enjoyed for the pass week which makes me a pretty fat kid right now... #2 is still in my fridge... *gasp* great nice week.. lovely lovely... Event where #? came out:
#1 was no surprise... lovely cake...
#2 was pretty surprising... espresso...
#3 was meant to be surprising but I spoiled it, the cake was a surprise though...
#4 #5 #6 #7 was really surprising.... i seriosuly did not know... good job eh.. can't believe i was lying down on the carpet then... hahahha

pretty good year this year then... :D lovely year... got quiet a handful of stuff... a lot of people celebrated me birthday with me too...

In the second event where #2 appeared, I would like to thank Yi Lin Bong, Evil Devil aka Shu Wei, Strawbs aka Mei Shea, Wei Kiat, The Bear aka How Han, Fan Sheng, Sakit aka Sai Keat and Yi Hoong.. did I leave anyone out? nope... oh this happened on 22 July I think I blogged about it...

In the next event where #3 appeared, a whopping 18 people appeared to sing me a song... *jaw dropping and hits ground* I didn't know I had such pulling power... heheh though I think it's more of Shu Ying's pulling power instead of mine... anyways i would like to thank i think i gotta number them then delete the numbers. Shu Ying, I-Rene, ZiXian, Sin Ying, Pui Kuen, Khai Shien, Takuma aka May Yoong, Yung Hui , Li Lee , Uncle aka Kenny , Rueben Uncle , Kuafu aka Hua Fu , Joe Ee , Wan Yian , Anna , Sim Wei , Mary *i think it's spelled like that* , Elaine Done... wow.. long list.. oh this happened on the 26th July

Joy Of DC

2006-07-27T21:23:00.000+08:00

A Dashboards Confessional CD is finally mine... nyahahhaha.... thanx to Vivin Imelia for bringing it back from Singapore for me... Shall be my most prized CD after Snow Patrol and Yellowcard and of course the Lee Hom CDs... be forewarned as the following entry will be about me enjoying the DC cd.. so U can jsut skip it if U want or U can see how bored and lame I am... good deal eh?

24th July
The CD land into my hands for the frist time ever.... a gramaphone US import *i think gramaphone is a cd retailer* got a feel of the plastic wrapping and placed it carefully into my bag.. wodnering if I'll crush it when I'm in the bus...

26th July
Officially teared the plastic wrapping off the CD at exactly 12:36am... I slowly picked at the plastic wrapping in case my nail scratches the case.... then i slowly picked of the label the retail shop stick onto the top of the CD case *the label to show the album title and other stuff*... the selofon tape was a little tricky but took it out without any scratches to the case but I left soem sticky stuff back at the case... couldn't get it out... :(

Anyway I lifted the cover and the new cd smell overwhelmed me... the scent of a new cd and it's plasticy smell was too good to be true... I savoured the smell for a moment then checked out the lyrics and stuff and closed the cd case as it was way too late.... I had to enjoy DC when I truly had the time to enjoy it's musical beauty.

27th July
The DC cd had it's official first spin at exactly 4:49 pm.... the radio loaded it and waited for me to finish my chores... awhile later at exactly 5:07 the first song off DC's "Dusk and Summer" album came on... 40 mins and 38 second of absolutely joy filled my ears... *though in actual fact, the songs are more emo than joy but I had joy while listening to it*... and waht a wonderful album it is..... I felt the title song was really emo-ish... could feel tears welding up but none came out.... *luckily*

so with a DC CD finally in my hands... I can't help but give a really big grin... :D lovely lovely... I would like to thank Yohana once more... if she hadn't went to Singapore... I might still be sulking over here... hahahha oh well.. so my DC infatuation has increased... i shall drool over it more while U "enjoy" this post.... till the next post.. cheerio

Days of activity

2006-07-23T14:09:00.000+08:00

have been pretty busy for the pass 4 days... so I'm kinda tired, lazy and a little cranky.. but all's in good faith *wonder that means* it's a moment of celebration.... so I'll start gettign lame and tell everyone including strangers what I did for the pass 4 days plus today

on the first day of celebration (19th July)
Manpreet's birthday.... so we celebrated at McD near HELP... wasn't a very busy day... her cake was nice though... plus she was surprised which is good.... but hmm someone forgot to bring her present... I don't even know wat's the present... oh well.. be patient and i think time will tell wat's the present.....

on the second day of celebration (20th July)
ah... today... we *me and college mates* went for a pretty long karaoke session at 1U's neway.... I finally found out where the rock climbing was... ended up making a fool out of ourselves.... especially me, Irene and ZiXian... suffice to say, no more 1U neway for me... unless U give me a mask to cover my face when we go in...

At first there were 7 of us, then Seafood, Sin Ying and Shu Ying left first at 4.30 ish... then the craziness started... the rest of us *plus pui kuen* sang chinese new year songs, nursery rhymes, jingle bells, "mak dao" songs and wierder songs like Bee Gees staying alive... which is not a very karaoke friendly song... regardless... have a pretty good time.. oh the room had it's own toilet too... 2 thumbs up.

On the 3rd day of celebration (21st July)
not much celebration today.. just went jusco with me mum and hang around dunno where... whahahah found out Valene works at G2000 1U... at nite so was unable to visit her... anyway a short little rest for teh upcoming hectic days. Oh U do notice that the "on the 1st day of celebration" thingy and so forth is following the christmas jingle "on the first day of christmas, my true love gave to me.... " that tune...

On the 4th day of celebration (22nd July) , my "fake love" gave to me...
nothing... hahah... today is Lee Pei Theng's birthday... but didn't celebrate with her, teh silly girlw as working.. but I promised soya bean for her.. hahahah... went to the doctor in the afternoon, something wrong with me ear.... then headed for 1U at 4...

Supposed to celebrate a birthday... but in the end we ended up moving it to The Curve... it was almost 8 before 9 of us settled at "Hooked".... i definitely felt unhooked when I left, the food wasn't very good... *very little ingredients* and the service wasn't all that good either... the stuff teh fella recommended wasn't up to my par.... regardless.... it was still a good day despite certain setbacks...

On the 5th day of celebration (today)
Sunday, time to relax and unwind... but no.. had to wake up early to go Isetan, there's a sale going on adn me bro wants to buy clothes... so along went the entire family... bought myself some socks... actually jsut a pair.. and got a new school bag... not a bad day... but was feeling kinda grouchy today... so kinda spoiled my mood for the start of the day... which also brings me to the weekly resolution for my next week which I shall tell later....

I have a short break of 2 hours before the whole family minus my brother will watch Pirates of The Caribbean 2.... and then eat vietnamese where I can get the mango milkshake... whahahahaha don't think I can do any of my homework today.... might only be able to amke it back home at 10.... oh welll... the lecturer ain't gonna torture anyone alive if they didn't complete it..

ok now to my "Resolution of The Week" which is... enjoy anything that comes by... even waiting for the bus, waiting for the lecturer to arrive, eating breakfast, talking, sleeping.. watever it is just enjoy.... life is too short to grouch over like what i did this morning... :( the next resolution starts 2morrow... but I'll try implementing the previous one too... ok time to split....

Resolution of the week

2006-07-18T21:41:00.000+08:00

I'm back... turned out the modem was faulty... so I'm back.. haha -.-" ok cut to the chase, let's get to our main topic shall we?

I am starting a new resolution every week... these resoultions will be different desirable traits? so at the end of a year I will have 52 new / improved traits? hope my description is clear enough... That is the idea... ideally, in reality however; I think I'll only do these for like 2/3 weeks then stop abruptly.... maybe I'll only last 24 hours or less.... talk about hangat hangat tahi ayam....

So the resolution of this "wonderful" week is patience... so I'll learn to be patient this week then next week I'll go on fire... teehee... Can I ask a pretty simple question... How patient can a person be? will too much patience cause people to think that ur not exercising ur right and just being a down right wuss?

I guess it's pretty debatable... I won't be changing my skin after all... too lazy... hehehe oh well... apparently now I'm a little dilemma... *according to me* but I guess time can fix it... I just have to be "patient" which fits exactly into this weeks picture....

Notice: #1

2006-07-12T10:38:00.000+08:00

I won't be blogging for awhile considering that I can't get myself online.... it says limited or no LAN connectivity.... spent 11 minutes talking to the streamyx guy to figure out that it's not thier problem so... waste of precious time.... hahahhaa *11 minutes also wanna complain*
I guess not being able to internet is a good thing considering mid terms is arriving.... but there are other distractions.... oh well time to pay attention in class... wanna get scholarship... muahahhahahahha

Destiny fulfilled?

2006-07-02T21:45:00.000+08:00

Ah.. it's almost time for this here blog's second anniversary, no big deal actually.. it's only 2... won't be changing my skin in time for the "celebration" don't find myself trying to search for them skins, maybe this here blog is beginning to be a bore eh?

Soon, soon... when the time is right, the skin will be right... *hehe* ok so for this 2 years, what have I accomplished here? am I closer to my destiny? Am I still searching for it? do I even have a destiny????? Oh dear... no destiny? :(

Alright I admit... if U people haven't guessed it yet, I'm just blogging for the sake of it, that's why I said it was a bore. See a secretive, quiet person like me who has very little self disclosure can't possibly own a blog. what can I say in the blog? today I walked on the road staring at the sky?

Oh well, since it's only 2 years I don't think my destiny is fulfilled... oh oh.. Superman is out and Pirates of The Caribbean is comin out soon... The "Il Mare" hollywood remake is out soon... "The Lakehouse" I distinctively remember that the original was at a beach or pond or maybe it really was a lake... no.. it was a sea.. sans the name "il mare " which means by the sea or something of that nature. wonder if I should watch the remake, and then compare which is better.

But I'm afraid Keanu Reeves will spoil the character's image originally protrayed by Lee Jung Jae, I know Sandra Bullock has kinda spoiled the Jeon Ji Hyun's character's image... in my viewpoint... I dunno.. maybe cause one sounds so dreamy-ish and the other is just.. normal?

Right.. wonder why I like to talk about korean movies... why I must be hooked... like a fish on a fishing rod.... some metaphor eh? sicne we're already on korean movies I'll try and rank my favs.

1. My Sassy Girl (without a doubt)
2. Almost love (I am a sucker for rom-coms)
3. Taegukgi (This was almost second)
4. Lover's concerto (still like the line in the movie)
5. Il Mare (though it was kinda slow, the story was kinda nice)
6. She's on duty (Kim Sun Ah and Gong Yoo.. hehe)
7. 2009:Lost memories (ah this was a pretty interesting one)
8. Daisy (Nice, but a little slow)
9. Windstruck (Rom com, saddening stuff)
10. Too Beautiful to lie (I actually found the lead actor attractive) hahah

Ok the other non stated ones are well not there...

hmm.. how did destiny fulfilled? ended up at korean movies? oh well... in conclusion, my destiny ain't fulfilled yet... if it's already fulfilled I would be gone now... *touch wood*
