I attended the All American Rejects concert in Bukit Jalil on the 31st of October! If I didn’t have Huilin accompanying me, maybe I won’t be there at all. And I’m super glad I was there! That concert rocks!
Also playing at the concert was Disagree, One Buck Short, and Pop Shuvit. I always think Pop Shuvit is a really cool band. I personally love it when Pop was playing Oh! Sizuka and Marabahaya. I don’t know the words to the songs (although I had listened to Marabahaya a few thousand times at least) and I wished I knew de lyrics so I can sing along! It was raining when they perform but the crowd was still crazily hype and jumping and jumping and shouting and singing along!
One Buck Short’s lead singer Mooky couldn’t make it to the concert, so some friends of the band covered for him. I don’t know their songs, but I love it when they sing Kelibat Korupsi. That hit memang terer lah!
After all our own local bands have done performing, the crowd impatiently waited for more than half an hour. They’re so bored they sing along when the organizers played some MTV by Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas and some other artistes. It’s kinda funny and fun really!
When AAR finally shows their faces, the crowd immediately went nuts! They’re great performers. When they did their well known singles like Dirty Little Secrets, I Wanna, and Gives You Hell, the entire crowd sang along. Really the ENTIRE crowd and screaming out the lyrics! The concert suddenly turns into Sesi Karaoke bersama All American Rejects! I’m sure the roaring can be heard from every corner of Bukit Jalil!
I’m just glad I was there. They rocks! AAR, Pop, Disagree and One Buck Short! They all rockz!! Thanks to DiGi for being wicked and gives out free tickets!
Before I came back from Shah Alam, I had the opportunity to hang out and catch ‘Surrogates’ with Hui Lin. The funny thing about us is that we’d been SMS-ing a lot, but we’d never really talked much face to face. I really had a great time borak kosong with her. All our topics revolve around our assignments and movie critics.
After movie sempat go dinner some more. I was the one driving, but she’s the one bawa jalan. I wonder when only I’ll know my way around Klang Valley? I’m always doing the wrong turn here and there. Hilarious.
But what i wanted to share here is ‘Surrogates’. This movie is set in a near future, where humans are actually interacting using humanoid machines that they control with much liberty on a control chair from their respective home. All aspect of life is done using these machines they call ‘Surrogates’.
I wonder why the Malaysia version of the poster is so damn ugly. This version looks neat and nice.
The movie actually had a pretty nice, neat and easy to understand introduction. The technology used in Surrogates was invented in order to help those who are physically impaired. People who’d lost their limbs in accidents or any other means are given artificial machine limbs in which they can control at ease. Slowly, the technology expanded so much that full humanoid surrogates are created. It’s then commercialized and the government allows its use in daily social life. This action is said to be the first step to generate the crime-free society.
Bruce Willis stars in this futuristic science fiction as Tom Greer. He is a police detective that conducts his investigation using his own surrogate. It was until his machine was destroyed, he is forced to investigate the bizarre case of a few people who actually died, when their surrogates are ‘killed’.
I would recommend this movie. Not 5 star la. Maybe 3 star the best. The special effects are really cool, but the plot, it is somehow too predictable. Still, it’s an enjoyable movie. You might like it. ;-)
Holiday begins today. Officially. Finally I’m done with everything! Done my packaging presentation, finished exam, and suddenly, I feel all eased up. Still worried about how I did in my exam also though. Information design totally sucked bad time. Shouldn’t have thought of that now that holiday is finally here!
The happy part of the holiday is that I’m going to head back to Melaka, and play all I want with Nana. Hang out with Eunice after her exam is over, and maybe hang out with some other friends as well. The downside is that I’m gonna leave Shah Alam, and might not come back until the 18th. That’ll mean I’m not getting to see my darling for a month or so. Argh.
Well... Holiday is supposed to be relaxing. You’re supposed to feel stress free, and relax all you want. It should be a happy moment, even if it’s temporary and you might have to work your ass again once it’s over.
But I know, to one particular individual, it’s just impossible. They’ll take their time, planning on how to make others feel miserable. She’ll be begging for pity from everyone around that still talks to her through Facebook, MSN, SMS or any other possible means. The story will be the same every single time: ‘The world is against her.’ To other people, they might say she’s always ‘EMO’. I think it’s ‘HOBBY’ la actually. Oh well. I guess people will still layan her and try to convince her anyhow. It’s so lucky to be her. Yea la. If not lucky, people she spat on won’t layan her also right?
Oh, and if she accidentally visited my blog, she might save it on a Word document and spread it among her friends. “See how Eugene mocked me. Yea la. Memang mocking you pun. It’s not like I’m making up stories also ryte? You behave exactly like what I said in my previous entry. It’s either I wrote it while looking at that face I now despise, or I had a silver-tongue and you behaved according to what I said. Argh. Don’t want to talk about these celaka story d anyway.
I’m quite happy la today (it’s 6:14a.m. now, so I might as well use the term ‘yesterday’). Sherlin brought us to a ‘Sushi-styled-steamboat’ at Puchong, and that place is really quite nice. For 28 bucks per pax, the food is actually quite nice. It’d been so long since all of us house-mates chill out together. The mess I had with Aj almost a month ago made me thought that a gathering like this is no longer possible. Glad that I was wrong. It turned out that we could actually talk nicely in peace. God really did heard my pleads.
Saturday morning. Everyone left for their early morning classes. I’m left sitting alone here in front of my laptop. I don’t like the feeling of being alone, but today might be a good chance to just sit down and relax a little.
Life had been spinning 360 since the last few weeks. There’re moments of confusion, surprise, fear, happiness, despair and bitterness. But it’s all over now, I want to start anew. I want to get back on track.
I’ll just keep this post short. Need to pack. Need to head back to Melaka!!
I've been hanging at home for the past 2 weeks. Only go outs occasionally, and most of the time, even if I do get out, I'm just driving my family around, or fetch my sister to her tuition class. Memang bosan la~ In a blink of an eye, there goes 2 weeks of my holiday!
But it's fine lah just hanging around at home. Not like I don't like it. Haha.. Can teman mummy, babysit Nana, watch movie, online like usual... It's fine really. After all, it's my home sweet home.
That's not the main topic yet. On Sunday, my sister bought a pair of jeans at Bintang. Well, we paid for the jeans and bungkus back home lo ryte? And guess what my mum discovered the next day when she wanted to wash the new bought jeans?
THIS!! Yes, the anti theft system thing!!
The cashier did not remove this thing after we pay for it! But the thing is there's no alarm whatsoever when we moved away from the counter. maybe Bintang's security and anti theft system are all bullshits after all.
My mum said we should just get the pants back to Bintang, show them the receipt and have it removed for us. But I'm excited and I was eager to remove the thing myself! After some discussing, my mother allow me to have some fun, as long as I don't make any holes in the pants.
I saw a small metal material that connects the two plastic pieces. I try to bend that thing using my hand, but to no avail. I thought I need some kinda tools.
And so I start digging my dad's toolbox, and I tried to cut it using this plier.
My dad's pliers are weary and blunt, again, to no avail. If you zoom in, all you can see some tiny dents to the metal. Nothing more than that.
So, in my frustration, I resorted to 'violence'. I tried to use a hammer to break the plastic cover.
You know what? Wah-lao-eh!! The plastic cover must be made of some heavy duty plastic or some kinda super heavy duty material that looks like plastic! I tried to hammer it numerous time, and there's not even a dent on it.
After some time, I thought it's kinda useless trying to break the big piece of plastic cover. So I switched my attention to the smaller piece of semi sphere plastic on the other end. This is how I do it. Lol..
At last, some results can be seen! Hahaha.. In the end the plastic piece is torn in pieces. and it came off really easily. So much for the hammer and all. So next time if you steal a jeans from supermarket face a careless cashier who forget to remove this anti theft thingy from your jeans, break the smaller piece of the plastic using two pliers, dun hammer them. Lol!
Tadaaa... End of this post! I know it's kinda stupid posting this kinda shit and all, but I thought it could really be some kinda stupid and foolish blogging material. Haha.. After all, many friends said my blog are getting too emo. Lol.
I hope you enjoyed reading about this stupid post~ And yea... I forgot to mention, besides getting that thing off my sister's jeans, I also made a hole there. Hahaha..
Oh by the way, I would like to credit some individuals for making this blog entry possible. As you can see, I used both my hands in the process. All the pictures in this post is taken by my mum! And also, thanks to the careless cashier in Bintang.
My hard disc is a gone case. Can't even load the stupid Windows Vista. So, now I'm using my sister's desktop to wish all of you a happy golden bull's year. Harap-harap korang jangan berlagak macam lembu k?
I supposed everything is gonna be new. Shirts, pants, hats, lingeries. And I bet many would buy red ones.
Before starting a new entry, I want to wish all my readers a Happy New Year 2009! I hereby wish all my readers a happy, healthy and prosperous year ahead! Sorry for the late wish though!
In this entry, I would like to share how I spent the rest of the 2008 after my Christmas, and how I celebrated New Year. On the 26th, I paid a visit to Genting with my dear cousins. It’d been so long since I spent some quality time with them. So long that I din realize all of them are besar panjang already. Andrew had even developed a very coarse voice. It’s actually scary that he’s getting this tall. Maybe the next time I see him, he’ll even be taller than me.
They're all like brothers and sisters to me!
(Clockwise starting from me) Andrew, Jasmine, Jocelyn, Eunice, Janice, Dominic.
I just hope Andrew don't grow any taller than the clown.
I don’t know whether it’s my luck or what, but it always rains when I visit Uncle Lim’s empire. So, as usual, I ends up all wet. They should really change the tagline from “It’s fun at the Peak!” to “It’s raining at the Peak!” But being wet once in a while is fun nevertheless.
Prepare your umbrella if you're going to Genting Highland during December.
But one thing I really hate about Genting Highlands is the price and the taste of the food. They don’t taste nice, and they are hell expensive. When I say they don’t taste nice, I mean the foods are really tasteless. Really tasteless to the level where you’re complaining from the moment you start to consume the food until you finish the food. It’s actually like they’re out of salt or something. Duh, how I hate bad food. Luckily, my aunt sponsored me my dinner. If I 'd to pay that much for lousy food, i think I'd be cursing nonstop. I do heard people saying that there are good foods at Goh Tong Jaya. But then again, I heard it’s even more expensive. Hmph…
This stupid ugly tasteless "Taiwanese Beef Noodles" cost my aunt RM19.90. Luckily got people belanja.
On the 31st of Dec, we planned to go lepak somewhere, and the plan is to plan while we’re on the way. You know how planning on the way is so ineffective. So, we went over to fetch Sze Mun at Bandar Tun Razak, then due to the traffic jam all over KL, we went over to Kajang to have some satay. Although we chose Kajang because we’re trying to avoid the whole traffic jam thing, the route to Kajang is stuck as well.
I have no idea why Kajang’s satay is so damn popular. Seriously! What happened to the succulent juicy Kajang satay I’d heard of before? Been there twice, and I still think it sucks. Their satay daging’s had an elastic texture. So feels so elastic that you might think you’re chewing some kind of cheap-made-in-china-bubblegum. Its taste sucks badly. The only thing is there to save the famous Kajang’s Satay is its kuah kacang. If it wasn’t for the kuah, I would’ve been pissed off by bad food again.
I guess Kajang Satay wanna join the Christmas fun by making Christmas-tree-shaped-satay!
After satay at Kajang, we went over to Sunway for countdown. Hmm… We did not purchase the pass to the New Year party there, so we just hung out outside Sunway Pyramid, where the entrance to Sunway Lagoon is visible. From where we were, we only get to see some nice fireworks when the clock strikes 12. That mark the end of year 2008, and a whole new year begins! 2009, here we come!
Fireworks at Sunway! Happy New Year y'all!
I ended up drunk that night. Too much Martell, too much beer and too little satay. Crap, I basically drank the liquor with an empty stomach. It’s really embarrassing. I did not have any recollection of what I did the next morning when I woke up. Phew… No more liquor for me. At least not with an empty stomach anymore.
Let’s skip that part. I don’t want to tell you what I did when I wasn’t conscious. Hahaha… So, let’s continue at somewhere interesting. On the New Year’s evening, I spent my time at One Utama with Aj and Sze Mun. We’re there because we couldn’t decide on where to go for a nice ‘New Year Dinner’. So, I suggested that we go over to Dave’s Pizza Pasta Vino. It’s not like I dine there before, I just read about them at Kenny Sia’s blog. Kenny is saying that their non-halal pizza and pork belly kicked ass and everything so I thought “Why not give it a try?”
We’d a hard time deciding upon the menu, and in the end it was really Aj that make the decisions. I enjoyed my meal there. The 4-cheese-pizza is a little ordinary, but overall it’s satisfactory. I won’t border you with the details of the food, but if you intend to read more about them, I suggest you read Kenny’s blog. It’s the reason why I paid Dave a visit anyway.
I felt full and satisfied. My taste buds are finally satisfied. You really have to try the turkey yourself. It’s succulent, and juicy. Not like the ordinary dry and hard turkey we always have. The turkey is my favorite dish of the night. Even blogging about it makes my mouth watery.
What we ordered? Quadro Pizza, Turkey and Pork Belly. Sweet!
The food at Dave's is so nice that you might wanna go to bed as soon as you finish them!
Also, the very same night, I watched Bedtime Stories. At first I thought “Adam Sandler and Disney??? That's a weird combination!”
Still I watched it because Chanel said it’s quite nice. Then it crossed my mind that even The Rock and Disney turns out fine in The Game Plan, so i gave it a green light. It turns out to be really nice, although it doesn’t make sense in some part. But hey, which comedy makes sense anyway? Yes Man doesn’t make sense at all, so yes, and watch it!
I guess this is already a very long post, so I'll stop here. Happy New Year again!
