Wanted

Boo~

It's been a while again, hehe... Busy with some other stuff and I have been out quite a lot lately, so I have lots of things to write about! Let's start with a movie review, Wanted. XD I watched this movie with EdeNz one weekend, since we both are kinda bored at home on Sunday afternoon, it was hot as well, lol... Good thing that a cinema is just nearby hehe...

Such a cool poster. =p

So, Wanted is one of the movies that I am very itnerested in when I saw the trailer some time back... It's just too interesting and I wish to know more on how they shoot bullets which can curve, haha... Also, you get to see Angelina Jolie in action, I like her acting, somehow got attracted by here as well lol. =p

It's about a group of assasins who has extraordinary skills in shooting, fighting, healing, driving, etc... Everything needed to kill someone. The story starts with a conflict between members of the group and goes on with how they hunt down the guy who betrayed the group. It ended with a twist to the story, the bad guy isn't that bad and the good guy is not that good after all.

What attracts me to watch this movie is the technology and skills shown, though it's fake, but still very interesting to see. Their actions are good as well, not super exaggerating, still acceptable to me. I guess things happen and explain in the movie are not possible in real life, if not it would be too powerful, isn't it? Lol... The storyline is just normal, nothing special... But it's really a nice movie to watch if you like to see extraordinary stuff and some good fighting scenes. =)

I don't know if it's still in the cinema, but it's a good watch, EdeNz and I totally enjoyed the movie and I don't mind watching it again, hehe... XD

Join Me @ FSPEED!

Boo~

I intend to write this post last night but somehow I can't load any Google-related site including Blogger, it's either my Internet connection or Google's problem... Either way, this post is kinda like an advertisement. I'm going to reveal the small online project that I was working on last few months and I invite you to join us for fun, excitement and surprises if you like forums and discussions.

Yup, the thing I have been working on is a new community forum, aiming to provide a platform for everyone, particularly teenagers and young adults, to discuss on anything they want, meet new friends and build up a community to share knowledge and stuff.

The reason behind all these is that we, a bunch of good friends that met through a forum, love forums a lot and miss the old times where we can talk like there's no tomorrow on a forum together with other people around the world. It's really fun for me, I used to hooked up with forums and I can spend hours just to read what everyone wrote and reply them. So now, we are here, trying to build up the community again. =)

I welcome you to join us at FSPEED.

If you are interested in joining this big family, feel free to contact me either by leaving a comment in the post or e-mail me at starry[@]fspeed[.]org to get an invitation to the forum. XD

How do you spend your weekend?

Boo~

Another weekend is passing by, it's midnight already... Time flies when it's fun... I just came back from shopping not long ago and have been chatting until now. I just realized that it's almost time for me to go to bed and a new week will come when I open my eyes, it's time to go to work again then. This weekend is quite a normal one for me, I didn't have any plans beforehand so time just passed by like that...

I spent lots of my free time on shows, from anime to TVB series. Just this weekend alone, I watched quite a few episodes of them, including 2 new animes introduced by friends, Special A and Soul Eater. They are on-going animes if I am not mistaken and it's recommended by my friends that's why I spent some time to take a look.

Special A is a comedy school life anime, I love this anime since the start of first episode. I am attracted by the graphics and school setting, simply love the characters and the background design. If you like Ouran High School Host Club, I am sure you would love Special A as well, since the school setting is similar and it's a comedy which has handsome guys and pretty girls. I will come back to talk about the anime some time later, currently at episode 11 and I can't wait for the next episode. =p Thanks Matt for recommending me such a good anime, hehe...

Soul Eater is recommended by a colleague of mine, saying that the story is good and it's funny. I have watched 2 episodes, the graphics are very unique, it has the western cartoons background settings but japanese style characters. I can't say much about the story yet since I only watched 2 episodes but the jokes are quite funny. XD

Other than watching shows, I have been playing DS Lite and (fluff) Friends on Facebook, then browsing forums and stuff... Although there's 24 hours in one day, it seems that I have only used up half of it, yet the day just went off like that... Feeling a bit bored today, I went shopping at Sunway Pyramid with EdeNz in the evening, out of the blue. =p I did bought some shirts after walking around the mall, didn't have any luck with shoes today, I wonder why haha... We had dinner at Kenny's Roger, I feel that the service is kinda bad here, understaffed. It's quite tiring to go shopping, used up all your mental energy when you walk the whole mall in 4 hours. XD Well, I'm glad that I went out, I would probably waste time lazing around if I stayed at home, it's nice to go out and enjoy during weekends, afterall that's the only time I can relax and enjoy myself, right?

I am definitely looking forward for a vacation, anywhere is fine as long as it's relaxing! Hehe... so now I'm wondering, how everyone else, especially working people, spend their precious weekend?

Lifestyle...

Boo~

Just thought of writing something before going to sleep... After all, I have been neglecting my blog for some time already. =p Life has been pretty normal and monotonous for the pass few weeks. Busy working during the weekdays and staying at home during weekends. I have been watching TVB series since two weeks back during my weekends, that's the only free time I have right now...

Weekdays are just "wake up - go to work - come back home - dinner - TV - online - sleep" routine. Boring life isn't it? I guess my wish for having a flexible working lifestyle is gonna be difficult if I choose to continue with my job right now. I am not a hard working person, I know that very well, so I don't really know how long can I continue my work right now, I know I am not a great programmer at all, sometimes I just feel that I have chosen the wrong path to study IT in the first place. I like to have fun, I like to play, I like to enjoy...

Nowadays, I don't even feel like going shopping anymore, I wonder why... I just want to sleep and bum at home during weekends, simply because I am really really tired for the past five working days. I guess it's true that if you force yourself to do something that you have no interest in, you will get tired very fast but if you do something that you truly love, you wouldn't feel tired or boring even if you work for long hours.

I need some ways to balance my lifestyle else I gonna be crazy in no time, haha... A vacation would be great, but I don't know where to go and when can I go... Any great ideas?

Petrol Price Hike

I bought a Nintendo DS Lite. =D

Boo~

It's not a happy day, but I just have some time, thought of writing something after so long... I have some photos from last weekend's outing but I will save them for later. =p

Yesterday evening, my colleagues suddenly start saying that petrol price will be increasing by 100% midnight, then everyone is busy discussing and came out with crazy ideas on how to save money for petrol, haha... Later in the day, there's news published online saying that the price will go up by 78 cents midnight, it's really a lot for me...

Many excuses or reasons given, but what the government don't understand is that, no matter what crap reasons are behind the sudden hike, the people's life is gonna get affected. In fact, I felt the effects really fast when I go home after work that night, I was caught in a huge jam just 2 minutes away from my house because there's a petrol station on the way. Everyone is trying to fill their tanks full, even until it spills out... That's crazy isn't it? I have seen people filling petrol in bottles and even tried to fill some in plastic bags, that's so dangerous... What if they don't handle the petrol properly and explosion happens? I spent 1 hour plus in the jam, in the end pumped some petrol as well since I have waited for so long. =/

Soon, we will see all food and other daily items will increase their prize, this make inflation worse and I still get paid the same salary. >_<>

I don't know what to say, I am just pretty sad about it but I got no choice and will need to deal with it no matter what, right?

^StarrY^

Missing in Action

Boo~

I know I have been MIA'ed from my blog for quite a while, didn't get a suitable time to update my blog at all, even though I had holidays... Everyday's time is so packed, I still have so many things to do, yet so little time.

All I know is... I need a break, a long break, far away from everything. I just want to forget every single thing and have fun, relax, play to my heart content. To do that, I need to go somewhere, but where and when? My work schedule is so packed, I don't even know when can I take some time off because there are so many things coming up! Gosh! =(

Well, other than doing the normal stuff at home every weekend, there isn't any particular stuff that I could blog about, haven't been going out lately... So this weekend I am going out to release some stress as least! It has been sometime since I watched a movie, so I gonna check the cinemas out. =)

You can always find me on Facebook lately, I am totally in love with one of their application, (fluff)Friends. =p Feel free to drop me a message or anything if you like.

I will update more soon, after this weekend. XD

Outing & Experience @ Yuzu, The Gardens

Boo~

Another weekend passed! It's kinda sad to see how fast happy moments passed by so fast, I am still having lot of things in hand... I guess I will have to look forward to the following weekend and without noticing, it's already May and I have been working for 4 months already, wow... Kinda unbelievable lol... Anyway, yesterday I went to Mid Valley with EdeNz, Matt and Phoebe, Mao and Sheryl supposed to come but something came up and end up just 4 of us. =/

We planned to watch movie but I failed to buy the tickets online on Friday and the queue was freaking long when we reached so we decided not to waste time. =( We went lunch at Kim Gary, chit chat a lot, finally Phoebe completed his studies and now he's free! Lol... We talked about lots of stuff, can't remember everything but it's fun, hehe... After lunch we went shopping and walk around MV, nothing much to see actually. Matt bought a Code Geass picture book and Trinity Blood DVD from AnimeTech though. XD Then we walked until we are tired and thristy, ended up at McDonald's for a drink and continue talking until evening, Phoebe and Matt went back around 6pm. After that, EdeNz and I walked around and thinking what to buy for dinner, somehow we ended up shopping around, bought a few stuffs and went to Yuzu at The Gardens for dinner, lol!

The Menu.

Our table.

It's a nice Japanese restaurant with very very nice surroundings, very nice service as well hehe... The manager came to recommend us a few nice dishes when we were looking at the menu and the waitress speaks Japanese! So cool right? XD Hehe anyway, we ordered some special stuff which we never tried before and it's really nice, I love it!

Paper basket that can be cooked, amazing!

Delicious?

Our main dish is called Hokkaido Nabe, it's something like steamboat, they put all the ingredients in a paper basket with miso soup and cook it in front of you and you eat it while it's hot. =) The dish we ordered is a seafood dish so we get a big piece of salmon, a few big prawns, a few mussels together with lots of veges, tofu and mushrooms which make the soup so sweet. The size is just nice for two people and by the time we finish everything, we are already full, ths dish itself cost RM68. =p

My favorite Ikura Cawanmushi.

Besides that, I also ordered my favorite Ikura Cawanmushi, it's very small portion but it's so delicious that I can keep eating if money allows me to, haha! I love the feeling of having those fish roes popping in your mouth and the juice mix nicely with the egg, the taste is just wonderful, cannot be described by just a few words. It's a must try for Ikura lovers like me. XD However, this one costs RM18 which is heavily overpriced in my opinion, still cannot resist the temptation no matter what. =p

After having the Nabe, we ordered a Salmon Temaki and a Unagi Roll, wanted to try their sushi and handroll, hehe... We ate the Salmon Temaki immediately after being served before we remembered to take a snapshot, lol... The taste is good but nothing special, I guess as long as the ingredients are fresh, temaki is quite simple to make.

Unagi roll.

The unagi roll is quite big, didn't thought they will give us the whole piece of unagi. The roll has prawn, egg and cucumber in it so it's really crunchy inside and soft outside... The taste of the unagi simply rocks, not too salty like the ones in Sushi King and the texture is just nice to melt in your mouth and mix together with the rest of the ingredients. XD Love this dish a lot although we are super full after eating this.

I enjoyed this meal a lot, no complaints at all, everything is just perfect. =) The only thing is this meal really costs me a lot, if you were to ask me, I don't think it's worth it but this experience is simply amazing and nice, it made my day, maybe I will visit again when I have the money to spend! XD

The Forbidden Kingdom

Boo~

Late update again, hehe... I have been busy with (fluff) friends (LOL)Art Contest this whole week. =p Just wanna vote as much as possible and get a chance to win some pretty prize in that application. XD I am glad that today is Labor Day, get another chance to actually rest at home, after having migraine twice already, but the bad thing is the weather today is so hot that even sitting down and do nothing will make me sweat... Really feel uncomfortable and thus ruin my mood somehow too... I end up doing nothing for the whole day except checking some forums and chatting, a very very ordinary day. Anyway, that's not the main topic here...

The Poster - So cool.

Last Sunday EdeNz and I went to watch the movie, The Forbidden Kingdom, got attracted by this movie mainly because of the two action stars, Jackie Chan and Jet Li. It's an English movie, though they do speak a little of Chinese in between and it's a comedy movie with lots of action and the setting is the older times in China. The movie is great as the actions and fightings are nicely done, though the storyline is just very normal... Everyone watch this movie to see Jackie Chan and Jet Li fight right? Hehe... Storyline is not the most important element here. XD

The movie started with a modern (current) scene and goes back to time suddenly and that's where all the fighting scenes came. The sceneries are good and the costumes are nice and simple, not too exaggerated. The whole story is about how a young boy finds it way to save the legendary monkey king. A lot of jokes during the entire movie, I like it, those jokes make me laugh and I enjoyed it. =) The story has a happy ending, and this movie is quite relaxing as all my stress is gone by the end of the movie, I feel quite delighted. XD It's definitely worth the money to watch it if you are a Jackie Chan's or Jet Li's fan which likes to see their fighting and actions and all those little jokes and funny scenes, hehe...

It's a nice movie, hope to watch more movies like this in the future, though I could only catch up the movies during weekends now. I am looking forward to this weekend and all the stuff I am gonna do!

Magic Farm

Boo~

I wanted to type this earlier this week but I just couldn't find the right time to do it. =/ I just recovered from a slight migraine yesterday, luckily it was nothing big. =) Anyway, I found this very interesting game from Reflexive Arcade last weekend and spent the whole Sunday playing it, I am still half way through, just finish the story and now at the bonus stage... Planning to finish up this game this weekend if I have the time. XD

Main Menu.

Like the title of this post, the game is called Magic Farm, a single player role playing game, it requires good reflex though, hehe... You can visit the link to read more and download the trial version of the game, I have the crack if you wish to finish the entire game. =p

Game Map.

The story begins with the journey of a young girl to look for her parents, she needs to collect gold along the way in order to pay for the transport fee... The way for her to obtain gold is to actually plant flowers and sell them to the people in town. As she goes from town to town, she meet with different people, gets different clues and finally arrive at where her parents are. This game basically requires you to role play the young girl and plant flowers in a small farm to get gold to proceed to look for her parents, at the end you will be able to save her parents and bring them home safely if you get the gold amount required.

First Town - the Origin of the girl.

The first farm I have!

Second town...

Next Farm.

In Lost Town...

Another farm to get away from the lost town.

Final town...

Get money to save her parents with this farm. XD

The story has 4 different towns which means 4 different farms where you can plant different types of plants available at each town. Each farm has their own flowers type, bugs and water source, each plant has 3 upgrades and the most expensive would be to sell the highest quality of the plants together. At the same time, in order to keep your plants alive, you will need to water them regularly and kill the bugs on screen.

The game is quite fast paced, considering that I manage to finish the story in about 6 hours time... It requires good reflex so that you can pluck more flowers to sell for gold, the more you sell, the faster you finish the game. =) I find this quite interesting and I love this kind of story-based game, I like the feeling of finishing a quest or the story, hehe... XD It was recommended to me by EdeNz and I totally love it, got addicted to it when I first try it and didn't want to give up or stop playing until I managed to finish the story. Right now, I am looking forward to weekends to be able to sit down and finish up the bonus quest as well, hehe... It's a very challenging game, but not too hard to win. =) Try it and you will know how fun it is!

More games coming up, recently got addicted to single players game again. XD

^StarrY^

PC Fair @ KLCC

Boo~

Here goes another weekend, it always feels so short when I am having fun, lol... This weekend is indeed one of the better weekends where I have all the time to myself to do anything I want to do, it's been a long time since I get to spend a weekend like this. =/ Coincidently, this year's first PC fair falls on this weekend as well, haha...

EdeNz, Matt and me went to PC fair to walk around and get some stuff for ourselves on Saturday... Left the house around noon and had lunch at KLCC's food court before walking to the convention center. Luckily the sun is not around when we walk pass the KLCC garden hehe... As usual, there are lots of people around, in and out... I wonder if everyone went there to actually buy some stuff or just for sake of the show girls *winks* or they just have too much free time lol...

The layout of the fair is same as the previous one, so everyone has to walk around 1KM from the entrance all the way up to the exit which passes by around 7 halls I think...There are halls for laptops and PCs, audio system and the rest of it for PC accessories and stuff... Some area are not so packed, maybe no one is interested in those products... and some areas are full of people that you can hardly move... >_<" Especially some booth that sells something cheaper than the rest, it's crazy! People just keep hanging around the booth, I don't know if they are actually buying something or not though.

We spent around 3 hours inside, walking, looking and buying stuff... Matt bought a router and a dvd burner and I bought a external HDD, DVDs and earphones for myself... EdeNz didn't buy anything lol! =p I am so broke now, all those stuff used up my monthly savings... T_T Well, at least I finally got myself extra disk space, don't have to keep burning animes to DVDs or limit myself not to download so many series at a time. XD Anyone has any good anime series to share, tell me! Hehe... I also got a set of rechargeable batteries from the Sony Lucky Draw, hehe... That guy actually have to take a photo as proof. =_="

It was raining when we wanted to leave but we managed to use another way to get back into KLCC through Mandarin Oriental hotel, just follow the crowd haha... (by EdeNz) After that we went to Burger King and get something to eat and rest, so tired after walking and standing for so long, and hungry too! Hehe... We finally left KLCC around 6 something, feeling very tired especially my legs lol...

I only realize that I didn't take any pictures at the fair after I got back home... too bad. =( There's actually quite a lot of interesting stuff to share, hmm... Like how almost everyone has an Intel paper bag with them, a very nice way to do advertisement and Dell actually printed their bag in pink... People sitting on the corridors and at the side of the hall... Hehe, so many stuff can't remember all, but it was fun overall besides spending so much money lol...

^StarrY^

Sushi King RM2 Promo

Boo~

It's time for food again, hehe... Sushi! My all time favorite... This time it's not something very expensive again, it's just the opposite... each plate of sushi only cost RM2.00 at Sushi King Member's Promotion Days. XD As a sushi lover, of course I wouldn't miss out such a great chance to eat all the expensive sushi I like, which I will never touch during normal days. Sushi King's standard is just average when it comes to sushi but the price is just very irresistible!

The promotion lasted for 4 days, today being the last day but I managed to go for 2 meals which is Monday night with EdeNz and Bombie and Wednesday night with EdeNz and Matt. =) On Monday night, we chose to go to Summit, thinking that most people wouldn't go there as normally that place is empty. I was surprised to actually see so many people queuing up outside the restaurant when we reach, lol... We waited around 20 to 30 minutes before we manage to get a seat, quite a good one. =p

Summit's Sushi King restaurant, very small... Can't fit much people.

Eating sushi.

Chatting while waiting for new sushi.

Hmm, those are the plates I ate...

7 Plates, still counting. XD

Here are all the plates we three ate, try count and see?

Sushi just went round and round the belt, we always choose our sushi carefully, since we can't eat too much as the rice fills up the stomach really fast. We saw quite a number of people there only choose the most expensive purple-colored plates which costs RM6.00 normally. XD There's also a couple who sat beside us complaining to the waitress that they can't get any sushi lol! Because we took all the nice ones before it even reaches them haha... =p Ah well, we spent around 1 and half hours there, eating and chatting, before we decided to give our place to those pity people waiting outside the restaurant... We waited quite long as well, so it's the same! Hehe...

Since this promotion only comes twice a year, 8 days in total... I didn't want to waste the chance. On Wednesday night, EdeNz and I meet up Matt at Sunway Pyramid for another round... Hehehe... There are more people here, obviously lol... So we waited around 45 minutes I think but we were quite lucky that we got a good seat again, just beside the chef... XD Well, I find the choices of sushi in Sunway Pyramid is more and this time, I only picked red-colored and purple-colored plates, you don't get any chance to eat this sushi normally you know. =p People there were basically trying to get all the expensive sushis, leaving quite a lot of normal sushis on the belt. I guess it's a norm, common sense right? Haha...

Sunway Pyramid's Sushi King.

All the plates together.

Hmm, I think it's 25 plates.

My portion, hehe...

When we decided to leave, there is still a long queue outside and it's already 9pm... Can't believe everyone love sushi so much lol, or people just come to eat just because it's cheaper than usual? Besides, it's a bit crazy to queue up for so long, I think many people gave up while waiting for seats.

I had fun eating, enjoyed having all the nice sushis for 2 days, now looking forward to the next promotion which will be at the end of the year. Hehe... I guess I won't go for sushi in a while, to make sure I don't get bored of it haha...

^StarrY^

L: Change the WorLd

Boo~

Besides being so busy working during weekdays, I am still trying to find sometime to relax and enjoy during weekends... During the days without the Internet, all I could do is play single player games and watch tv, so boring... A computer without Internet connection is like a half dead person. =/

Because of this, EdeNz and I went out on Sunday to watch movie and hang out... We were quite lucky to be able to get tickets for L: Change the WorLd that day, thanks to Matt hehe... The queue there is extremely long and scary lol... Well, before the movie starts we went for a drink at Gosoline cafe, not drinking gasoline though =p and had a quick dinner at A&W before the shows starts.

L: Change the WorLd

This movie is a spin-off from Death Note which the story ended at the second movie, so all of us don't really know what to expect at all, ready for surprises. XD The begining of the movie has some flashbacks here and there so people who do not watch the previous movies might feel blur because it's quite confusing, from there it goes on and tells a story on how L spent his remaining 23 days to do something for the world. It's very amazing to see a person being so capable, it's just a story but still... he looks really cool, haha...

The main story of the movie talks about how L is trying to prevent a deadly virus from spreading, in between... he met with 2 little kids, a boy and a girl. There are quite a few funny scenes where it shows how clueless L is towards children, lol... He actually learn a lot from both the children and had lots of fun during the whole time when they are trying to solve the case. It's really nice to see some serious action and story development while laughing off to the jokes in between. XD The whole story ended well, though it doesn't change the fate of L. I like this movie a lot, entertaining and it's something I have never seen before so it's pretty interesting at the same time.

The only drawback is the language, since it's a Japanese movie, I have to rely on the subtitles to understand the story and sometimes I find the subtitles very funny, like the translation is totally off... Since I have watched anime for such a long time, more or less I could differentiate some simple lines. When can Malaysia get some really good subbers? Hmm, overall I really like this movie, L has became so famous right now haha... There are really a lot of interesting stuff, you should watch the movie and find them out. XD

^StarrY^

Waiting...

Boo~

I am still as busy as usual, this time is something related to my work, hopefully things will start to settle down next weekend. =) But today, something triggers some thoughts and memories of mine that I would really wanna talk/rant about...

Do you normally wait for people or you are the one who is always making other people to wait for you? I don't know how everyone feels but for me, waiting is very boring and I feel that the person or people I am waiting for is being disrespectful because the person is wasting my time, something that even money can't buy. I know sometimes something unexpected just came up, no one would have foreseen that so it's ok, it's just bad luck... But I have seen people that just refuse to be on time and let others wait for no reason, I hate that kind of people!

Excuses like traffic jams, cannot wake up, bla bla... are just too lame, those that like to use this excuses are brainless in my opinion, because if a person has a brain, a person would know (s)he should leave early to avoid jam during peak hours and to set alarm if (s)he can't wake up or just sleep early the night before and so on. Perhaps people that always come late for meetings and appointments doesn't feel the pain of waiting or it's just me that is too sensitive? Hmm...

I am sure every Malaysian is so used to "Malaysian Time" that everyone would naturally arrive 30 minutes or even 1 hour later than the agreed time and I don't understand why! I have no idea since when this culture exist and I don't have any clue why people purposely reach late and at times I tend to do that as well when I know those people that I am meeting does that to me because I don't want to ruin my mood just because I have to wait. This is annoying, isn't it?

Some of my close friends that always hang out with me have seen me emo for the entire outing just because someone is late and I am sure they know how bad I acted, but I can't help it... Time is very precious to me and I don't want to waste any time doing something pointless, especially now that I am craving for more time every single day. Perhaps some of you would say that I just have to get used to it and be part of the gang but sorry, I don't think I want to do that... I have my own principles and I definitely don't want to wait for someone or something that isn't worth my time. So next time, don't be late! XD

It's just some ranting, don't feel offended in any way, I am not taking about anyone in particular, I just feel like letting it out because some events that happened today triggers my thoughts...

^StarrY^

Easter Egg Hunt on Fluff

Boo~

I was missing I know and I am back now lol... I have been so busy with so many things that I couldn't actually find a time to update my blog here... So before I sleep tonight, I should just update on what I have been doing lately I guess. XD

Most people should know Easter day is around the corner, I am not celebrating or anything, but there's an application on Facebook which I like, "Fluff Friends", which is having an event to hunt for easter eggs for our virtual pets... There's where I have been to for the entire week basically, looking for easter eggs which took so much of my time already...


I finally got all the rare eggs I wanted to find on Saturday, and got EdeNz another full set today and some extras which are available for trading, =p the event is ending tomorrow, luckily... Finally I can just rest and doing something else lol. I am totally into this egg hunting, it's just my attitude that I want to get everything out there for myself, a sense of achievement. XD

Other than being sticked to fluff, the rest of the time is spent for work and perhaps a little for the online project that I am working on right now... I have been neglecting RO for sometime already, that's how I feel... I really want to get back my normal life to have some time to actually relax and not stuck in front of the computer! Anyone has plans for short trips during weekends?

^StarrY^

General Election 2008

Boo~

Supposed to write this entry earlier, but well, you should know by now I don't really have time to spare nowadays... Other than working, there's this project that I am involved in which took up a lot of my free time. =/ Hopefully everything goes well and by that time, you will know what it is all about. XD

Back to topic, a very interesting topic actually... It's the most interesting general election ever in the history of Malaysia simply because we as normal citizens finally have a real feel of what democracy is all about. In the past, the government party (BN) easily swept all the parliament seats and all the states government seats as well, except for Kelantan. However, we see a very big change this time where BN barely survive in getting enough seats to form the government, does this really mean that the people of Malaysia has finally open their eyes?

A lot of discussion are going on, a lot of scandals, a lot of news... So many that you don't really know who is telling the truth. One thing for sure, this election has proven a point that the people wants a government that can bring growth and prosperity to the country and for the people. Everyone is tired of having a government that invest millions of money for something that the country do not need and it does not do any good to the people as a whole.

I do remember seeing BN's posters during their campaign claiming that they have given us a secured place to live, so my question would be, how secured is our home when crime rate is increasing rapidly and the police force couldn't do anything about it? Having bunch of Mat Rempits on the highway during midnight waiting to "have fun" is secure? Lol. The election results has proven that the people are not stupid and brainless, we have eyes to see, we can feel and we are able to judge ourselves, whether the government is doing anything for us. In fact, the government has made all of us, regardless of races, so angry that we don't even care who is on the opposition, we just want to send a message across that we are angry, we hate the way you run the country!

No one has expected that half of the nation thought of teaching BN a lesson by giving their vote to the opposition at the same time, which results in giving 5 most developed states to them. It's too late to say anything since the results are out but we can surely look forward to see what both parties will do for us in order to gain our support. I am pretty sure that both parties will try their hardest to prove themselves because the nation has matured and we can now make our own decision to bring us what we want.

For BN, it's time to really think about the things you have done in the past and what will you do in the future. It's a very clear signal to you that we don't like the way you rule. We do hold the power to decide whether we still want you as our government or not.

For the opposition party, this is your golden chance that you have been waiting for, a chance to prove yourselves useful. You will never know if we might continue support you for the next election if you are really good and you can bring good to the country as a whole.

I place hope in this new government which is not so one sided now because I believe competition always bring improvements and if the ruling party does more for us, the people gain the most benefit and our country will become better. We shall see what is waiting for us in the future, everyone is excited to welcome the new government. =)

Vantage Point

Boo~

Just got back from work, so I thought of updating my blog before I start doing anything else, hehe... XD Last Saturday, EdeNz, Matt, Bombie and I went for a movie, Vantage Point at Mid Valley, because Matt wanted to buy some books, so we might as well go for movie while we were there hehe...

So we reached there around 12.30 and before meeting up Matt and Bombie, EdeNz and I bought half dozen donuts from the newly opened Big Apple, hehe, the donuts are so nice! Then, Matt arrived a bit later and after that we decided to go for lunch. XD I saw this new sushi shop opposite Big Apple, so I suggested that we go there and explore, and we did. The place has pretty cool design and all, the price is also very "pretty" lol... Everything there is quite pricey given that all the food served are of a good quality, way better than those normal sushi shops out there. We talked a lot and also spent a lot of time to decide on what to eat, have to take care of the budget as well. =p

Time passed by really fast, by the time we finish our meal it's almost time for the movie. Hehe, not really sure what movie it was at that time since it was EdeNz who say it's a nice movie. It is indeed a good movie, unique and interesting.

Cool poster, Vantage Point.

The movie started of with a scene where the President of USA is holding an anti-terrorism commit and it goes on until the President got shot halfway through the event. The special thing about this movie is that it repeats the entire scene from 6 different point of views and each view slowly reveals the plot behind the assassination.

The first view was from a new channel, the second is from a secret agent of the President, then followed by a local policeman and a US tourist, all of them show the chain of events on scene. Then the fifth view came from the President himself where he was sent back to the hotel and a double was sent out to the commit, however, the terrorist managed to figure out the plan and got the President kidnapped. The last view is from the leader of the group, how everything actually works and it's pretty cool to see how this guy uses technologies to help him in his plan.

It's really interesting and the way the movie portrays the story is unique and you get to pick up infos while looking at a different view, nice idea from the director. XD There are quite a lot of action scenes in the movie itself and it quite good, at least for me. The car chasing part is actually good, I like that scene, hehe...

It's not a very lengthy movie, it might get a bit boring when the scene of the assassination keep repeating but the story develops really well after that, I recommend everyone to watch this movie... 8/10. =)

After movie, we 4 went shopping, walking around Mid Valley and we actually did circled the whole Mid Valley lol... I bought a bag for myself from Voir, quite nice and I like it... Matt bought himself a wallet and books (that's the main reason we went to Mid Valley), Bombie bought a cover for his lovely iPhone... XD After having dinner at McD, we went home early because everyone needs to attend meeting at 9pm haha... Different meeting though. XD

Jump, Jump and Jump!

Boo~

Just last week, I got invited to join a little online project together with a few really nice friends, I am so excited and have been kind of busy with that, haha... That's why didn't really come to my own blog. XD I hope this project will be a success and I am sure to tell everyone about it when we launch it, stay tune!

EdeNz and I went to watch Jumper last Saturday, I have been wanting to watch this movie ever since I saw the trailer few months back, hehe... Love the visual effects in the trailer, it's really good. So before the movie is taken down from the screen, we got ourselves 2 tickets. =)

The poster itself is already so cool. =p

As the trailer has shown pretty much what the guy can do, jumps around, no matter how far it is! That's really cool, you can visit anywhere anytime you want, haha... Apparently, there are several people that have this special ability and they are named "Jumpers" and a group of people who named themselves "Paladins" who basically hunt down jumpers and kill them off, thinking that only God has the power to be anywhere anytime. XD

The movie is really nice, I love those visual effects and the storyline is good as well, it's not just any normal stories, there's some twists so it's nice and the good thing I like is the story is quite fast, not draggy but not too fast as well, just nice for sufficient story development. =) I would definitely recommend everyone to catch this movie, 8/10 hehe! XD

CNY: Back to KL...

Interesting News: On Valentine's Day, someone actually spent RM40,000 for a billboard advertisement to propose to his grilfriend. Wow! Romantic? Creative? Show off? Click to see the news article.

Boo~

These few days I have been so busy with stuff around that I have forgotten to update the last part of my CNY entry haha... This morning, I just went CNY visit again, this time with my colleagues. XD It's gonna be over soon, so better go visit all friends and relatives around to collect as much ang paus as possible! =p

So where did I stop? Hmm... The next morning I came back to KL with my uncle and cousins, they will be taking bus back to Penang from the KL bus station. We left Singapore around 7 and there's actually quite a number of people at the checkpoint already... Had breakfast after that and around noon, home sweet home! Hehe... I have been away for just 3 days but it feels so good to actually step inside my house again, felt relax and happy. Hehehe... Then we went for lunch at Tai Tung restaurant near my house, at Cheras Plaza... I didn't expect to see such a huge crowd there, seems like there's many people that stays in KL even during CNY time.

The table.

My mom and me ordered a few simple dishes and my brother took a few dim sums. The dim sum there is actually quite good but it's a bit pricey... Then after waiting for quite some time, they finally serve us our dishes, so hungry that time lol...

3 type of meat.

First dish is a mixture of roast chicken and roast pork, I don't really like roast pork so I didn;t try it but the roast chicken was ok, just normal... But the chilli sauce is very sweet, doesn't suit the taste of the roast chicken at all and it's not spicy as well. =(

Giant to fu. =p

Then we have a to fu dish, which is recommended by the waitress, it's really big piece of to fu and it's smooth. I think it is made with egg, quite nice, I love it together with the sauce. Yummy. XD Each person had one big piece as there are 8 of us in total...

Yam bowl with chicken!

Next up is a quite special dish which I don't really know what they call it in English, but it's a bowl filled with chicken inside. The bowl is made of fried yam, nice fragrance and crispy and the chicken is fried with dried chilli and cashew nuts, "kong po" style hehe... Love this dish as the chicken is really sweet, juicy and smooth... So nice that I actually ate a lot haha... =p The yam is good as well, my dad say this dish is one of the best among the chinese restaurants around town. So if you have the chance, go ahead and try it and you will love it. XD

Then we also ordered vegetables, balance diet is very important =p and of course white rice, haha... No pictures because nothing special but the vegetable is really sweet, love this kind of vege. XD Everyone felt so full after finishing everything, in fact we had to take some time to actually clear every single dish, lol... I felt satisfied and happy, what's more important than feeding your lovely stomach good food? =p

CNY Days in Singapore

Note: Anime List updated.

Boo~

On the first day of CNY, I woke up pretty late... around noon, hehe... I was too tired from everything on the previous night I guess. =p Well, due to limited car space, my cousins and I were asked to stay at home while the adults visit a relative which live in Singapore as well, not really close so I don't really bother... Might as well take this chance and get more sleep!

My dad came back and gave us 4 Ang Paus though, hahaha... In SGD. XD After everyone came back, we had lunch together at home and for the rest of the day, my cousins, my mom and I were watching the TV series, cotninue from last night. XD We don't really have much relatives in Singapore so that's why... Most of them are living nearby and all, collecting Ang Paus only take a few minutes without much visiting as everyone comes to visit my grandpa...

Around 10 something at night, we got too bored and feel like walking a bit, so we went down to the nearby McDonalds to have ice cream. =p Something really hilarious happened when we are ordering our McFlurry... As usual, we walked up to the counter and placed our order and wait for the staff to make the ice cream, then as we were chatting, we heard a sound of a container falling... The staff actually poured all the oreos out by somehow removing it's container from the tray on the ice cream machine, don't ask me how he did it. We were like =____= but that's not the funniest part yet... Then the staff quickly ran to the back to get cloth or something to clean up and called the store manager. At that time I noticed that the switch on the ice cream machine is turned on without having any cup below it... So the ice cream keep flowing out, turning and turning... While both the staff and the manager is trying to clean up the oreos on the floo and the table, we all keep giggling after seeing that, ahahhaha... After some time, the manager finally realized that a lot of ice cream has been wasted...

It looks like this when the manager finally turn off the switch.

It was so funny that we tried our best not to laugh but still wanna laugh, lol... Anyway, I bet the staff is very nervous and all he ended up giving us our Oreo before even stirring it. =/ Bad day for the staff but it made our day as we really cannot resist laughing and talking about it after that. XD

After the funny ice cream session, everyone went back and sleep. ^_^ It's quite tiring even though we didn't do much, well watching TV for long hours actually strains my eyes a lot... I woke up around the same time on the second day as well, this time we all are going out to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

We reached the restaurant around noon which is quite early but the restaurant is already packed with people, luckily my aunt went there first and got us a place... The restaurant is quite small, by the road side and without aircond, lucky it isn't too hot that day. We all sat at a very long tables as the restaurant doesn't have round tables, to save spaces I think. =p

The menu.

My aunt ordered a few simple Chinese dishes and drinks, since there are so many people eating and waiting, I bet it's gonna be good. XD

Half chicken here.

The first dish we have is steam chicken, which is one of their famous dishes I think... It's nice, the meat is soft and sweet and juicy as well, eat together with their chili sauce, really nice... Oh, their chili sauce is really hot that I was surprised, normally chili sauce from chicken rice is not spicy at all and I always put a lot.

Tofu, looks delicious?

Then they served the to fu, as you can see it's covered with lots of sauce which has lots of eggs in it, really nice smell... The to fu they used is Japanese to fu so it's smooth, this dish is just normal for me but I like the sauce... XD

Pork ribs, my favorite...

Then here comes another specialty, pork ribs with a very special sauce. It's served in long pieces with mini fried buns, nice decoration hehe... I love this dish although I seldom like to eat pork ribs, the sauce that covered the ribs is really really nice, it has a very strong taste but not too salty, just nice and it's best when ate with rice... The small buns are fluffy inside and very crispy outside with a slight fragrance. =p I enjoyed this dish the most for this meal.

Kangkung, very spicy!

We had vegetables as well, kangkung with belacan. It's very spicy as commented by everyone, it sure has lots of chili padi inside lol... The taste is good to me, not too satly and the vege is fresh as it had sweetness in it and it's crunchy.

Pyramid rice.

The rice is is kinda special, normally rice are served either in a bowl shape or just a plate of scattered rice but this shop has pyramid-shaped rice! Hehe... special right? I wonder what kind of mold they use to do that... =p

Nice soup.

Lastly, my aunt ordered a soup as well, something like sharks fin but not excatly sharks fin, some seafood soup as well. It's nice although I don't know what is inside, I know there's egg and scallop, can see haha... This soup taste way nicer than the sharks fin soup we had for reunion dinner.

Everyone enjoyed the lunch, satisfied as well with only half the price of the reunion dinner, this really proved how bad is the previous restaurant. Too bad that this restaurant closes during CNY eve, if not we would probably come here for a good reunion dinner. =)

After lunch, we went to Cold Storage to get some ice cream and chocolates as snacks then went back home to finish up the TV series... We managed to finish it by night, after dinner, haha... 20 episodes all together, quite nice. XD After that, hand around for a while, drank some tea and finally go to sleep... Waking up early again to go back KL, can't wait... Staying in Singapore is really killing me, lol.

Continue with Back to KL trip tomorrow, wanna sleep now. =p
