1 Long Day Out...

The day b4 yesterday, me and my babe went to the Aquaria KLCC with Wallace and his girl. It was actually quite a sudden decision to go there cos initially, the both of us were actually shoppin in Times Square (well, she was la, i pula tag along ni) and then Walls called me and ask wanna go, of all places, Aquaria KLCC.. I thought well, why not, since we're already out and all rite?


Shark~!

So we took d monorail from Times Square to Bukit Nanas and in the spirit of exercising, and she said it was more romantic *awww*, we walked from d station all d way to KLCC!. Wasn't that far a walk actually. After a don't know how long a walk it took, we finally reached klcc and after waiting awhile, met up with the other couple.

The ticket pricing was actually quite expensive considering what we manage to see. But i suppose with all the funds used for maintenance, bills and rent of the whole place, i shouldn't be surprised la. So for those to plan to go in the near future, please remember to bring along ur 1) MyKad 2) Student card. Cos if u show ur MyKad, u get a 10 buck discount, and if u show ur student card as well, u'll get another 8 bucks off!!.. So in total, instead of payin 38 bucks if i'm a foreigner, i just paid 20 cos i'm a student. Sweet eh.


Fishes fishes and more fishes

Well honestly if u ask me, i don't think there was much to shout about this place. Reminds me of Underwater World in Singapore and sum say same like in Langkawi. We did see alot of BIG ass fishes that i'm sure if i were to encounter them while swimming in the sea or river, i'd freak out for sure!! And oh, most of the marine fishes are exactly like the cast from Finding Nemo. Like most other fish shops these days, u'll get to see all the same small small fishes like the clown fish la, dori fish la, etc. But the one thing u can't get from any pet shop are the turtles. They look so
like the ones in the movie!


Alicia up close n personal with sum big fish

Hmm, there was the normal perplexed glass tube thing where u stand on a conveyor belt and it takes round the aquarium. I don't know whether its me watching too much National Geographic n Animal Planet but i don't seem to be amazed or impressed by the variety of fishes swimming over there lo. There were the normal sharks, rays, groupas, moray eels and those marine fishes swimmin about. But can really say they are well fed and well looked after la. All of the fishes are so big!!.. laweh... but there was a notice on the tank saying it could grow up to 30% bigger in the wild! O.O


Lion fishes

I don't know how much is there to say bout this but as a whole, its not worth 20 bucks la IMHO, 15 maybe... But if u have 20 bucks to burn, then go ahead la. But i suppose since i went with my girl, anythings worth it eh :P. Oh, but after that we went to watch a movie.. And of all movies, we went to see Impak Maksima... -.-. don't ask.. it was 3-1 vote.


Stingray.. everytime we see this, all we think is 'ikan bakar'!!

Dunno la the movie.. was okkkkkk.. lawak as usual, lawak bodoh.. Acting was ok... normal malaysian standards la.. But don't think its as nice as sum Malay movies (sepet, gubra, etc) Erm, cgi and stunts though.. leaves much much much to be desired... ah well, its malaysia, semua pun mau. Malaysia boleh rite?


Shark take 2

I have no other idea what to blog about already. Although finals are in like a weeks time, i seriously don't have the mood to study. Feels like everyday is a holiday le. Been spending alot of time with my girl as well, so, still in the berhappy mood la. haha.. Darling, i'm not implying that u being here with me is distracting me ok.. In fact, i'm happy that ur here. Won't trade it for anything. :D. Love you to bits dear!! :x


Me touching a baby shark..

On another note, United finally got their first win of the season. Just when i was critisizing how noob-like both tevez and nani are. Turns up that those two budak la provided the goals.. -.-''.. Ah, hopefully, this week against old boy Keano we can really do sum damage la.


My rockstar holding a starfish

Merdeka celebrations was quite a low for me. What to expect, seeing me being patriotic is like seeing malaysia win the world cup. haha.. i know, again the same ol' cliche but wat to do.. Can't run away from the facts rite. Anyways, just had fun melepak at a friends place finishing bout 3/4 bottle of vodka. Thanks baby for sponsoring us. hehehe...


Looks like the turtle from Finding Nemo eh?

Oh, and a birthday shoutout to May Pin.. Sorry i couldn't be back for ur party.. ur 21 now!! can go give money to uncle lim d! Can OFFICIALLY go clubbing d!! hahahaha.. :P Happy Birthday!

The other side of me

Ok ok.. I'm not used to this kinda posts. Rite rite.. anyways, over the past few weeks (maybe even months o.O) i've been constantly bombarded by 1 question though asked in many brilliant ways.. but in d end comes down to "eh shi en, got girlfriend d ka?". Seriously, come kl kena, come melaka also kena, come cyberspace also kena. Can't u leave a man alone in peace?? Ah well, anyhow, the much awaited answer to u ppls questions is : yes, i do (finally) have a girlfriend. I've not been hiding anything from u guys, i assure u i haven't been keeping this a secret unlike previous times (ahh.. venom i taste).

Don't think i need to as i've realized dat good things like this don't come along everyday n its important that i share whats good in my life with everyone rite? So folks, i won't wanna bore u with the details cos i know you'll just ask the same things during dinner/mamak sessions :P. Anyways, what u would wanna know is dat her name is Alicia and she's also in the same college as me. See, even if i've dissed the 'types' of girls from my college in1 of my previous post, i did say there were a few of the minority out there rite? Hmmm.. She is of mix parentage.. I'll put it simply as Alicia = Chinese + Eurasian and not wat some of you think or have heard. *glares at a certain someone* :P. Oh well, some of u might already know i was going out with her but i still hang on to the fact that we weren't an item yet back then.. Main reason was.. I just wanted to be sure she's the right one. After all the bullcrap that happened in d past, can't help but feel a lil bit cautious rite? And i'm so very happy to say, i am sure that she is the perfect one for me :D


This is my girl.

One of the reasons i'm attracted to her is because we get along so well, we can talk bout anything under the sun. Our interest are almost similar... from movies, to music to tv shows, heck she even supports MU!! And NO, i'm not dating myself :P. Another interesting fact, she's a rocker! Well, drummer to be precise la. I think u ppl know i have a soft spot for girls who can rock rite?

Anyhow, besides all that, she's just a great bundle of joy to be with. Erm, how do i put it, she is just able to put a smile on my face each time she's around and whatever dark cloud dat is above my head will jz seem to fade away. There's also a sense of belonging and 'everything will be alrite' kinda feel when i'm with her. A new spring in my step, a reason to wake up in d mornin. All things great i guess. I can honestly say, she's the best thing that has happened to me la.. *according to H. Simpson* best thing so far.. I've found my other half!! And most importantly, she makes me happy. Jeez, i'm beginning to sound all mushy and i'm sure many of u are reaching for the bucket now...

Baby, i know ur reading this, erm, this is one of the few reasons to ur question la. The rest i'll tell u in person k ;) . And yes, there is much more to say about her but i guess i'll leave it till a relevant and appropriate time eh :).. So i guess finally, my stint of being single has ended and it couldn't have been by anyone better. Well, unless of cos there is the Avril + Jessica Alba girl out there la.. *runs for cover*.. haha.. But jokes aside, my dear, i'm in this for the long run ;)


Me and her camwhoring at KLCC... She's the pro ;)

Crunch Time..

My exam timetable came out 2 days ago. Good news : its only for 11 days. Bad news : 11 days for 7 subjects!!! O.O.. OMFG... mati la aku this time... panic panic.. haha.. Starts on the 7th of September and ends on the 18th. Then i'm free for another 3 weeks or so.. Wheee... Gotta start serious revision soon liao >.<>.<.. But i'll be back tomorrow la. Need haircut >.<.

Guess thats about it for my short update. Oh ppl, look 'around' for interesting info bout me ;) + :P

*edit*
I've noticed that liang hasn't been updating his blog in like fore-freakin-ever.. so *poof* i've removed his link.. Kumpul dust jer.. Oh, Drew sent me email on Facebook sayin this weeks bbq off?? Malim steamboat instead?? yerrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... dun wan larr.. mogok!!

I don't want to, but i can't help it...

Picked up todays Star paper, flip tru it till i reached the variety section which talked about Evan Almighty (which was the movie i just saw dat day) and i noticed a column bout a religious group in our country wanting this film to be banned! The muslim consumers association of malaysia was behind this citing the reason that this movie "poked fun at God and Noah". O.O ..... Holy shit.. what kind of obsurd backsidetrack thinking is this? Now i thought with my last post, i'm done commenting on 'weaknesses' facing this country but see, its rite there infront of us, how la not to say anything rite??

Now for the record, i'm not a christian nor a muslim but i've read the bible (kids version, long long ago) and can say i know a lil bout it la. But c'mon, this is a MOVIE... Can't they take this with a pinch of salt?? I don't (or at least haven't) read about Christian groups coming up and asking for this movie to NOT be shown. I think i'm gonna tackle a very sensitive issue here so i'll try to keep things as superficial as possible. I think (correct me if i'm mistaken ok) that Islam and christianity has similarities and maybe even some same stories abit with the change of names and other details la. But then, if ppl in America or other countries which christianity is d main religion don't take it as n insult? why must another religion do so?? The movie is ment to be fun, and sometimes to be funny, u've gotta poke fun at someone rite? Its a goddamn comedy for cryin out loud!! -.-''

But not all muslims are like that thankfully, in that extract, 2 ministers ( 1 from the cultral & arts and the other.. erm.. i forgot) supported the screening of the movie citing somewhere along the lines of that if u think its sensitive, than don't watch it la.Kudos to them.. And so, the movie did pass the local censorship board. For once, i'm happy with them.

Oh, and i think the SAME group tried to throw off Gwen Stefani's concert in malaysia which is due next tuesday if i'm not mistaken. Reason? Same ol' same ol' lo.. dressing too sexy la, conduct too improper la. I tell u, they'll do anyting if not everything to get western performers out of this country... (somehow i feel that my hopes of seeing MCR here is starting to fade to black). Its in the fridays paper. erm.. section 2 . Then in todays paper, the readers write/sms back to the editorial, some of em were clearly unhappy like me. For those who have The Star, go read it.. short , abit but true rite? For those who don't, this one person said "PAS, u dont allow concerts or karaokes in ur state, but why r d rape n HIV cases highest in ur state? Blame astro n ntv7?" . I like dat 1.. Anyway, being the kinda person that she is, Gwen said she'd respect and abide by the laws set here and try no tone down her show + wear xtra layers of clothing so that she n her crew wont look too revealing. Kudos to her.

See, dah le we are like less thn 2 weeks from 50 yrs of freedom, but the problem is still there. 50 yrs and we (i say we cos i'm also malaysian ma..) still can't overcome this simple problem. Vision 2020?? haha.. 13 yrs to go.. Will there be a change ?? Guess we'll have to see lo. Happy birthday malaysia..

Randomness (no. 3)

Its been a bleak bleak week for MU supporters everywhere. 2 draws in 2 games while freakin chelsea manage 2 wins. Good for them i suppose. Dah le we already missing Rooney, now Ronaldo had to behave like a bull and try to headbutt someone. That earned him a freaking red card and 3 matches out including tomorrows trip to in-form city rivals... Somehow i fear for the worse.. Oh dear oh dear... But gotta still stick to ur team no matter what rite?

Anyways, since i've got no more extra school activities to sink my nose into, i've managed to find time to watch 2 movies this week. First was Rush Hour 3.. Overall, i'd give it a 3.5 out of 5. It did have all the laughs and comedic moments like the previous 2 installments but what it lacked was decent fight scenes. A Jackie Chan movie with no good fight scenes? yup, thats what i thought.. Only had 3 or maybe 4 .. and the final battle with the head baddie was.. erm... disappointing to say the least. But as a whole, i think its worth it la. Definitely one of the better movies of the year though.

Second one that i caught just yesterday was Evan Almighty. Sure you all know that its a sequel (can u call it that?) to Bruce Almighty. I don't wanna write synopsis or reviews but if u trust my judgment in movies, you'll be going to watch it the next time ur undecided on what movie to watch. Though it ain't as funny as the Bruce, but still syok.. Where else can u see Morgan Freeman playin God and doin 'The Dance'? There are lil easter eggs as well in the movie if u can spot em. I manage to spot the sign sayin "40 yr old virgin mary now showin" ... Hmm.. a solid 3.5 out of 5 again.

On another shot of randomness, i feel like i'm turning into an adidas supporter!! Nooo.... haha.. Use to be pro Nike until Nike didn't have nice products that i needed anymore :(. Bought 1 Superstar, 1 Predator n 1 cap. Its adidas 3 Nike 0. Alamak... Unless i go out and get an ori Man U jersey... Bah.. not enough money to do so though.. Oh well...

Kat's blog is still like a parliamentary office during an AGM. Sorry la kat, my eyes couldn't take all the words in.. that fella post so freakin long comments, u post so freakin long replies, i need a peaceful and serene environment to suck it all in n digest b4 i could say anything. Oh, should check out Kennysia's latest entry, might concern most of us, might not. But its still worth readin.
Other than that, i think i'll be coming home next weekend... so drew, IF ur readin, i should be attending the BBQ la... oh oh, i so wanna do another mohawk style.. haha.. call me outdated and u'll know what i'll say to u la. Hmmm.. May ask me to come back the following weekend as well.. Merdeka baby (she is ya know) wanna have party, eh may, give me the details lar.. Its gonna be freakin hard to get tickets back ok..

Hmmm... thats bout it i guess.. Exams are drawing nearer (OMFG), assignments are finally all done *yay* provided d lecturers don't call us up and say we've been rejected *fingers crossed*. Hmm.. on a more personal front (wait.. ain't this blog bout me already?) there MIGHT (notice its capped) be something brewing in the emotional pot.. hahaha.. could this be a teaser? lol... wait n see lo :P.

Controvesy? What controversy??

After sum blog surfin, found out that a number of u ppl have taken offense to the "Negarakuku" song on Youtube. Now i can go on and on rambling about how brilliant or how stupid or how the man has a freedom of speech. But i'm sure by then, i'll be like everyone else eh? Anyways, here's all i have to say (if ya'll bother to read la) :

1. We have a freedom of speech. We are living in a democratic country rite? Dude wasn't insulting anyone or anything IMHO, he was merely speakin (or in his case, rapping) his mind on what he thinks is the current state of the nation. Which i have to say, is pretty darn true. Dare any of u disagree? Maybe there is a lil racial sluring but thn again, aren't we all guilty of that at least once in our lives?? No?? Seriously???

2. I'm sure if it was any other song, he'll still get the rap. Just cos he used the national anthem, modify it abit, thn he gets shit.. Do u know folks, in order for anyone of us to play our national anthem, we can't change ANYTHING to it. Not its tune, melody or even key! So, if anyone of us was to remix the national anthem for any other purpose (even good) we'd be in deep shit from d government. On the other hand, look at the US, they allow ppl to modify their national anthem but of cos must not slur it la. Good examples? Jimmie Hendrix and BB King gave awesome awesome renditions of it. Sumthing if we were to do, will end up in sum correction facility in Kemunting (i think).

3. Dudes pretty smart, doin it overseas means he cant get caught by d police. But i read sumwhere that he will come back here just to 'try n see' what it feels like in a lock up. Then wat about all the terrorist bombings and associations to it dat 'some' of our malaysians are part of?? No public scrutiny? No publicity?? No one saying that for them to do such a thing and being malaysian, its a shame towards d country?

Don't have much else to say. 50 yrs of independence and of cos we do have a lot to show and be proud of. But does that mean our country is perfect? And we are we suppose turn a blind eye on all d flaws and fuck ups citing the reason we are a 3rd world country and we are still in the development stage therefore this things happen?? You have ur own say.

I'm sure many of u can point out good and bad things our beloved country has to offer. But please, this is just one person's voice trying to say what most of us are already saying. Only this time, he says it via youtube. So cut him sum slack. If anyone still has sumthing against him, go make a vid on youtube la..

Oh, to those reading that i may have offended, u have ur say, and i'll have mind. Democracy rite? Thats wat our country is build on.

09.08.07 - A Trip Back..

Last weekend, i finally went back to Malacca after nearly 1 month in KL. What to do, busy here busy there, somehow, just can't find the time. It must've been really long cos for the first time rite, I nearly couldn't go back cos nearly all the bus tickets for Friday had been sold off!! The ever reliable Transnational that i always take had 1 ticket.. for 10 pm. -.-''... So after findin here n there, took d metro bus at 4pm.. That time was 3+. Surprising still got. But to my utter dismay, the bloody bus took the long and winding way back through Alor Gajah. God damn muther fucka. Asked d person who sold tickets b4 and he said we were going pass Ayer Keroh toll.


Tandoori Chicken.. IMHO d best i've eaten all over

So, being already late, had to call Su Ling to pick me up cos my parents already left d house for sum function. When she did pick me up, Don was in the car.. with a new haircut!! If you've seen him recently, u'll know wat i mean. If not, keep readin, his pic is down below (Don, i gave u more thn 3 days d k). So anyways, we decided to go makan dinner la. And first thing i could think about was Pak Putra. Folks, this place serves D best tandoori chicken in town and i might add maybe in KL as well!. I was suppose to take Khai Lip here last year.. but sadly, didn't have d time. nvm la, next time i come back k ;) . So long never eat here, called what ever d heart desired ;).

My double cheese naan.

Then later on at night, had yum cha session/gossip/goreng session with don, leo, su ling and jac. See Jac, i even called u k!! Don't say i lupa kawan!! :P. Great to meet up with em after so long nvr come back. So after few hours there, found out that nothing much has changed in malacca (no big surprise). Jac heard rumors bout me and like rumors, they are untrue :P. And i heard d Digital Mall is semi open! :D.. Low Yatt Malacca!! hahaha


Enjoy~

Then the next day, don, leo and me went to watch The Simpsons at MBO at melaka mall. I have to say, being a fan of the simpsons and watching it every evening on Astro made me have big hopes for it. And after about 1.5 hours of laughing at Homer, Bart, Marge and company, i give it a thumbs up!! :D. Certainly one of the better movies of the year!! IMHO, it rates number three behind Transformers and 300. Sorry la, i haven't seen Pirates 3 nor Harry Potter. So good, i watched it twice! :D. Those who haven't watched it, i seriously recommend it!


Mutton never tasted this good!

After coming home, mom told me that we were goin out to dinner as a belated birthday thing for my sister. And being my sister, without hesitation picked to eat at d Japanese restaurant at Equatorial. Kampa Chi was it?? At first, my dad and i weren't too keen on it. Not that i don't like jap food, just wasn't in d mood for it. But my mom wasn't having any of it. So, wat to do, spend 70++ per person dat nite lo. I think i ate so much smoked salmon that it was nearly 1 fish! ;). And barely reaching home, i had to go out again. This time yum cha with another group : Jo, Klip, Ven (yes his back!), Liang and Chia Ying. I couldn't have possibly eaten anymore so i just settled for a drink. We headed back to jo's place afterwards cos i wanted to try this lemon liqueur that Klip brought back from his trip to Italy. Tasted like vodka with lemonade. Strong, sweet , sour and sharp.. nice~~!!.. Klip said that he gave half a glass to Soon the other day and within 10 min, he was sleepin on d couch d! Luckily for me, dat nor any other drinking side effect happened to me :D.


Looks like mud, but i can assure u, this spinach and cheese dish even got Don putting 2 thumbs up!

The next day, met up with Klip and Ven for lunch and a game of pool. Siang and his friend joined us later. We ate at this beef noodle shop rite opposite Senyum. Again, i think tis is d best beef noodles i've had. The rest all kinda sucked. Even the ones claimin they are Vietnamese beef noodles (FYI, Vietnam is said to have D best world over). Didn't bring my camera with me so couldn't take pictures of the delicious and tender beef. >.< .. I don't know if it was the beef in it or wat, but later during pool, i was like holy-shitting everyone weh. Even Siang also i can win!! Achievement indeed :) . At nite pula was a total DND session for me. Why? Cos got F1 followed by the Community Shield!! Yes folks, d best season is back!! Man U won!! Van der Sar was d hero!! Sweetness~!! Carlos Tevez is joinin us soon.. so double sweetness!! Over on F1, rookie sensation Lewis Hamilton won again! nice~!.. But situation seems very dark at McLaren cos Alonso tak syok Hamilton.. wtf.. -.-''


This is d way to be eatin.. mix all d best 2gather and chomp it down!!

Anyways, left back for KL on monday morning. Had presentation to do later in the afternoon. And i thought that after last weeks involvement in another school/faculty's sports carnival, i was free. But nooooo.... even the school of pre-U called me to become ref for them. wtf.. ah, they said they'll write a testimonial for me. So not so bad after all la. But this time i was less involved. Manage to find other friends to ref for me while i just sit there and watch. hehe.. Oh, just reformatted my laptop. Apparently i got hit by sum stupid virus like last time. Symptoms were almost all there, just couldn't find the key file. Moreover, got different things start to happen pula. Not taking any chances, so format only lo.


Ta-da~~ Don, say 'HI' to the camera!.. Acutally he was sayin 'fuck la u'

So that being that, i still have 2 assignments and 1 more presentation to kao tim b4 i wrap up my coursework and prepare for my finals. I should be finding material now. but knowing me.. oh well, blogging comes first :P
