Twilight

Teckiee this entry directed to you. Gwahaahahahha.

GO WATCH WATCH WATCH!!!!!

Gorgeous vampire guys ALL OVER! Even the daddy vampire (pic above 3rd from right) is HOT like hell!

Ok, why I like this movie.

1) Robert Pattinson (The guy I fell in love with in Harry Potter 4 is the main guy. And OMG... the first time I saw him appear in this movie I had an orgasm in my mind, just by looking at him.

2) A lot of style in this movie. This is no violent sink teeth into necks gory vampire-esque movie. There's a lot of style to these vampires. Protrays them as beautiful but deadly creatures. LOVE the baseball scene, with the accompanying soundtrack.

3) This movie is certainly no action flick. It focuses more on the relationship build up btw the 2 main characters. There is however, quite a nice fight scene at the end.

4/5.

Trailer:

Hormones (Pid term Yai) <-- Thai movie

By this time tomorrow.. Nat is very likely be counting down the days where he will be back in KL.
By this time tomorrow.. Kwang might have already did what he told all of us he will do .. (can't pecah tembelang there ;p)

As for me, by this time tomorrow.. I will no longer be at home.

I'll still stay in a house, but I guess it will take months, maybe years to make the new house feel like my home.

For the past 24 years and 11 months, I have been living here in P.J. Studyied in a P.J area kinderdarden. Studies in a primary school just 10 mins drive away. And a secondary school just 10 cycle away.

I'll miss my best friend. No more 30 seconds walk uphill to her place.
I'll miss the padang. All my childhood memories.
I'll miss being near to everyone... Nat, YC, SJ, WMW just less than 10 minutes drive away.
I'll definitely miss One Utama!!!! But Soloh... pls continue to call me if you ever wanna yam char at Pick N Brew.
Jason is moving from Cheras to P.J... whyy am I moving away?
I'll miss getting drunk and getting scream at the guys like a mad woman when they drop me home (Thank you Kwang, Thank you Dave, Thank you Soloh, Thank you Nat)
I'll miss having JK dropping by almost unannounced.
I'll miss the more time I could spend with Zhong but can't now because I'm 24km away.
I'll miss have a king size bed.
I'll miss having a study room.
I'll miss the LRT.
I'll miss the sound of aunties line dancing at night.
I'll miss SS2, SS3, SS4C, Cheow Yang and Taman Megah pasar malam!
I'll miss Kayu Nasi Kandar's roti tissue.
I'll miss grocery shopping at Giant.
I'll miss pumping petrol at Shell.
I'll miss telling people to "Follow the light" to my home.

I feel so home sick...

This is hillarious..

Act #1
We are no longer kids, we are no longer teenagers.
When did we grow up?

Time seem to fly faster. Seems like only yesterday we were sitting in the lecture hall.
What year was it?

People change. I changed. Time changes it all.
But why?

No more beating around the bush. We say how we feel.
Or is it just me who says what I feel?

Act #2
We are no longer kids, we are no longer teenagers.
When did we grow up?

A test of friendship. A test of relationship.
Are ships sinking?

We cast a net, to savor what is left.
But is it worth saving?

Half truth, whole truth.
But do we really care?

Act #3
We are no longer kids, we are no longer teenagers.
When did we grow up?

No more fun. Be realistic.
Is that what adults do?

Work for money. Money work for you.
Isn't it still the rat race all the same?

I talk about it, but I'm so sick of listening to myself.
So why do I continue?

There's just no end to their nonsense!

Last time I reported that they charged me full Rm149 payment for October 2008 even though I clearly specified in my freeze application form.

That's ok. I couldn't contact them so my mom helped me inquire when she was @ 1 Utama. And that warranted her 2 trips to the fucking gym!!

First time she went they said no... they didn't charge me anything for October 2008 yet... when clearly the statement was already released to me a week back. How can their system not show.

Second trip. My mom had to resubmit my travel iternary to them because they lost the first copy that I submitted before I headed to Bangkok. When I submitted to that bitch in the customer service. I told her to specifically pin the travel iternary with my freeze form in front of me. (Because my previous time, they lost my travel iternary too). She reasssured me that she would do it and showed her tulan face. So I let her off. Mana tau she really lost it!!! Bitch.

And why I was charged Rm149? Apparently this is what they told my mom, that they didn't approve my freeze form... and that was like 1 fucking month. They didn't even bother to contact me! What's the use of filling up my e-mail/my h/p in the gym application form if they are not even gonna use it!?

Ok, that issue was dealted with.

Here comes a fucking new one:

Now they are charging me Rm38 x 2 for the month of November 08 freezing. What the fuck is going on. Did they just increase the price? I thought whatever priced stated in agreement signed would stay!

God damn it. I curse this gym to hell man! All the fucking shit staff who's messed my transaction up. Curse them all into the pits of hell.

If they weren't so difficult to communicate with/reach, I wouldn't be this pissed.

Just some Bitchin

2008-10-27T15:55:00.002+08:00

Hope no one labels me as a blog hogger yeah... Just that sometimes I do have a lot of things to bla out from chest. And I have no intention of making this only 'my blog'.

Anyway, feel crapped up now. Grrrr... the whole design uncertainty all over again is like deja vu. Exactly what I faced the last time I was here... I don't want to waste my time with this again. Developing a dud job where everything goes wrong.

I don't want to develop a job for the sake of getting it out. But in the end all data integrity is compromised. If the designers can't get their requirement right. Please don't pass it to me. I don't want to waste my time. I really don't want to.

Previously my team lead asked me... if I was willing to head back here. I told him... that I didn't want to make it more than 2 months. It's almost 2 months, and the designers have just only recently released work from their side, with so many uncertainty and issues with them...

I really wonder how I am going to tell my team lead, that my limit is 2 months. I wanna come home after that. Nov 14. I don't want to stay till December!

But now he's got a bad back issue... I really don't know what to say. I really don't know how I will feel later abandoning him here. Sometimes I just wish I couldn't care less. Voiced my opinion to my senior. He convinced me to stay stating lots of reason. That I am needed here etc. I just don't want to care anymore.

And my thai colleague. I got stood up by this guy far too many times already without any good reason, and without him informing me first hand. Sigh~ I guess I know the reason, but still... if I am even a friend that I think he considers me as, he could at least inform me directly... no passing about information.

Alright................................ now that I've gotten this off my chest for a while.

I noticed 2 highlights:

1) The night shift guard at my apartment is super hot! Omg... he's got this eyes... just wanna rip open that shirt of his and... well, leave that to my imagination. not yours. lol.

2) There's a small gym opposite of where I live, where guys would work out shirtless!!! Omg... yesterday I pretended to talk to the h/p, standing opposite of the gym... mouthing some shit but my eyes were so attentive at that direction. Definitely inspires me to get out of my apartment more often.

After buying groceries, I walked directly in front of the gym... but the shirtless guys were not there anymore. Boo~~~~~~~~~~

I guess that is as much naughty things I can do for now... How's everyone back home?

Okla... like this for now...

Thai Eye Candy!!!!

2008-10-21T13:37:00.006+08:00

This is a hamsap post. Right now my hormones are raging all over. So bare with me.

I am so distracted right now, I have shit load of work but I can't stop eyeing... people! The room I'm in has nearly 60 people... but my eyes can split sides and monitor a handful.

1) French guy... Have no idea what his name is. Should be late 40's. But the angle he is sitting at... OMG... just so kissable!!! and he's got a good coat of fur. ahahaha. What a turn on! Slim... but his age shows a bit... with a tad belly. Just a tad.

2) Thai guy no 1... should be early 30's. And I think he holds quite a big position. He's fairly short... but the face just makes my head spin... No idea who he is. But he's just an eye-candy. He looks like chinese. He looks super good with serious face. but when he smiles... just err... not so good la. ahaaha.

3) Thai guy no 2... another late 20's guy. He's quite dark. But I like the way he speaks English, with a strong Thai accent... he's from a different company than the above 2. But the way he speaks... omg... just so intelligent like... *Melts*

4) Thai guy no 3... silent exterior. Classic Thai looks. I think he takes care of network related stuff. not sure. He's not bad looking. A bit chubby but so what.

5) Thai guy no 4... of Royal Decent! He's royal highness is from the North I was told. Back then he's ancestors were royalty or something. Not sure if status remains. But he's got an actor look... OMG... I want to melt. He holds a big position too. I know his name though. Khun Ah Tip... *MELTS* He looks something like below:

6) Thai guy no 5- From another company too. He's chubby but he's got very very innocent cute cute smile. And not bad looking overall. He's Khun Leng... Woooooooooooooo

I am in heaven... for now... if only I have the guts to say hi... ahahahaha...

*WORSHIPS THEM*

Someone help me!!!!

If only I dared to go in front of them... snap a picture... OMG OMG...

But hor... sadla... cause Thai 1, 2, 4 got BIG cincin on their jari adi... so la... confirm they are straight and married adi la... confirm la... sigh~ but the Frenchie... wooo... if only he sweeps me from my feet and flies me back to M'sia... And then... happily ever after... And then hor... I would develop youth potion for both of us... so can really happily ever after!!!! *DREAMS*

Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2

2008-10-14T20:04:00.002+08:00

French Kiss, Terminator Style!!!

Believe me, that guys's got so excited, that he died...

Episode 4: Allison From Pamdale

Very interesting episode. It appears the likeness of Cameron is copied from a real person in the future, from a girl name Allison. This is more of a flash back story. Further makes me believe that there is actually a hidden agenda by Cameron. Really interested to see how this reveals itself.

3.5/5.

Episode 5: Goodbye to All That

Showing that the Terminators sent back through time do more than just target John Connor. They are going for every possible angle that could lead to John Connor's survival and eventual triumpht over Skynet.

3.5/5.

Can't wait for more!

Latest Development @ Bangkok

2008-10-06T13:47:00.005+08:00

Well, as you all know, the week was so shitty last week that I don't even have the energy to re-iterate. I thought things would clear up on Friday. But ended up we made a futile effort to the city, supposedly attending a meeting (Which turned out to be a dud)... got stuck in a bad crawl getting there... and got trapped in the rush hour trying to get out. Normally I would just chill and let time pass and the crowd ease before I head back. But traveling with people can sometimes be a pain in the ass. Well, at least my colleague wasn't fussy with the ride back. that's a plus point.

I was even more fucked up when I went home to a fucking smelly apartment. The sink just burped or something... shit! I can smell all kinds of thai food in there.

I was so fucking mad that I turned on air condition full blast in both rooms and just stormed out for a movie. lol. Man it helps for that moment of solitude.

On Saturday I headed to Siam Paragon's ocean world. Was very disappointed. I didn't really enjoy the trip. Mainly because I was so distracted with a lot of things:

1) Gym issue. Mom did help me settle the score... but to no avail. The gym are giving some false information or they are just plain stupid. Sigh~ Looks like things are getting more complicating then it should be. I FUCKING HATE CELEBRITY FITNESS NOW!

2) Traveling with a family that's got a 2 year old kid can really make you vomit blood. Many times I pass on the temptation of wanting to scold that little brat... but still... patience is the key... and not forgetting that I too was once a brat.

3) We missed out the boat ride... one of the highlights... I missed out a lot of detail and facts... and taking my own set of pictures... I was sorta acting out as their unofficial camera man (With dire results ahahaha... damn I suck at photography. Hint... test out camera first before going to the scene). The camera man is sorta my idea, so I won't complain.

4) The 4D experience was crappy one. Mainly because I was sitting at the corner.

All in all, I don't blame them. Ahaha. It's part and parcel of traveling with people sometimes. Sometimes there's just inconvenience. Part of life.

So....................

Sunday I did the craziest shit... I bought a PS2 just to keep me entertained for 3 months. Yeah... I bought a PS2... kinda bad deal too.

Buttt... I am hoping to sell it once my 3 month stint here is done.

Today work is crap. Lol... nothing more to discussed really.

Thanks Chian for the encouragenment in my previous post. It certainly lifted my spirits. About the gym hor... is ok lo. I will try to settle with them... I don't want to quite now and pay the penalty. It's like doing them a favour like that, don't intend to give them the pleasure of earning my money for nothing. ;-) Thanks too to Vincent handsome Lim. But wanna scold you here: "WHY COME BACK WHEN I AM NOT AROUND??!?!??!!?" *Cries* *Whines* *Grumble*. wahahaha.

Don't mind me... I am just feeling so screwed. ;-P

Peeps, enjoy the trip! Take lots of pix ya hear!? ;-)

PS. Hey Dav, I played force unleashed on PS2. It's not bad lo. I am thinking if I like the PS2 version, the PS3 version should be better.

stare cock

Pissed off? Just stare cock.

Bad Bad Week...

2008-10-03T10:51:00.004+08:00

My God... I had the worse week so far. Literally everything went wrong this whole week my head is literally spinning now.

I really hope things get better from next week on. >.< Tomorrow I am going for the underwater world in Siam Discovery Center. Looking forward to that.

Here's the breakdown of the wierd happenings this past week:

1) Monday- Things started out fine until at about after lunch, my apartment manager called me and told me there's been very bad leak in my unit... I was so worried it's some dirty pipe leakage... all my stuffs would be screwed.

I went home to do damage assessment. Thank God it's the water main leaking, hence it's clean water. The crap part is the leak was pretty bad. It's soaked the ENTIRE room carpet and water flooded the entire outside corridor. And ohh, my clothes were wet. I placed them in the suitcase on the floor. -.-"

Plus side is that the management offered an immediate change of apartment ready for me that time. I took the rest of the day off to move and clean stuff.

It was late after clean up. Wanted to order in but I couldn't get through chester grill (The only reasonable food to have), line was engaged for few days, settled in with kfc with great reluctance.

Shiatz... had to get used to new apartment.

2) Tuesday- Hmm, can't remember what else is bad... but I did find out that my pair of work shoes are ripped from the soles. Bad rip. I have to buy new pair this weekend. **EDIT** Oh yeah, found out that celebrity fitness cheated me Rm149 when they are supposed to charge me Rm38 due to my freezing of account. I really really don't know what those dudes are doing. Even the management don't bother... What should I do with these pricks?

3) Wednesday- Bad bad discovery in work. Went home to sleep... was in half dream when suddenly I smelled something sulfuric... very very smelly... I thought I was dreaming it. But the smell jolted my senses and I woke up. I tried to trace the smell in the room, but it was not originating from the surrounding premise, not the toilet, not the window, not the aircon, not the hall... it only lingered in the bed area...

I was so creeped out... I tried not to think about it. After a quick shower, I moved my covers and pillows and slept in the hall...

4) Thursday- Work was bad again. Discovery that the client doesn't seem to be doing their jobs... very very disheartening... and we couldn't get proper clarification with their nonsensical reply. Sigh~ Team lead was mad as hell... Oh well...

Slept in the hall again... still creeped out about the previous night. But the smell is not there.

5) Friday- Hope things are fine. But already I am seeing tall tail signs... Sigh~

Will blog more later. Toodles.

Bandwidth assessment

2008-09-30T17:35:00.002+08:00

Recently I have been given a new assignment for a new project. I kind of have to figure if my company's links size, bandwidth, utilization are sufficient enough for the additional load the project is going to pump into the pipes.

Bit, Btyes, MegaBit, MegaByte... The conversion is driving me nuts! I know its as simple as x8 /1024 ... but I tell you when you are stressed and confused and rushing for a deadline, a friend (Seany thank you!!) and a Bit Calculator really helps.

Thank god for the calculator and not this chart. HAHA!

I have revived it...

2008-09-29T15:54:00.003+08:00

My personal blog has been dead for a while...and now its been revived. Should be blogging there from now on with my personal stuffs. Do drop by...

YC is back!!

2008-09-28T15:57:00.002+08:00

w00t!

A few months back I received an email asking for permission to use one of my foodie pictures (ikan bakar to be exact) for a publication. I said yes.

A few months after that, I received an email asking me for my contact so that the publication can send me a copy of the book which my picture was in.

I was ecstatic when the book finally came.

The book was actually quite good. Reminds Malaysian outside of Malaysia what they miss. And also a good book to send as a gift for foreigners who have visited Malaysia or planning to visit Malaysia.

Anyway, I brought the book to the office so I could read it on the train. I took it out during lunch to continue reading but left it on the table. I totally forgot about it until the next day when I was looking for the book. It went missing!!!

Was damn sad that the book got stolen. I could have easily bought another copy but Quachee (the man responsible for the book) himself signed the book for me. Sad... just sad.

But guess what? During the AllMalaysian Bloggers Project Travel tool, I met Quachee himself! w00t! The launch goodie bag consists of various stuff including the 50+1 Malaysia book. So since the book and Quachee was there... I manage to get my book signed!

Haha a plus plus cos see that pic? That's him posing with the ikan bakar! too bad the shot wasn't clear. Ahh well.. can't ask for more =)

AND YC IS BACK!!!! YEAHHHH!

Bangkok 2008 Season 2 Day 1-14: Summary of What Has Been

2008-09-28T15:02:00.000+08:00

As you all might have known, I have been summoned back to Bangkok to give a final push and hopefully close the project that's been lingering forever, once and for all.

My return distincts from the previous trip. For one, I am no longer travelling with colleagues (Excluding my senior and the team lead- they have very differing views from me in terms of fun as compared to my other colleagues), I am staying away from the city (To my initial request and to date to my regret) where daily conveniences are not quite as accessible as before, and lastly, a very very tight work schedule.

Unpleasantries aside, situation is still managable and thus far, other than extreme boredom, I can still refrain from hanging myself from my bath room's shower rod (Ahahaha <-- this quote I cut and pasted from Sex and the City movie.), everything else is peachy.

Without further ado, I shall give a brief summary on the things I've done this past 2 weeks. Accompanied with some photos.

Day 1 (Monday, 15th Sept)- Travelling with Air Asia

Long story short, if you are traveling heavy, and if the company's paying, go for MAS airlines or any other airlines. Air asia can get very testy with a lot of travel aspects. I sorta lost my patience when they even charged for express boarding. I mean come on, women and children, senior citizens, the disabled... the management should have the courtesy of providing that privilege to them. Not charging at Rm50 per pax...

Cafeteria, where food and beverages cuts a big hole in your wallet.

A very packed waiting area. I think there's just one for all flights. Imagine people crowding there and flies buzzing about. It's such a sore eye.

The plane I boarded.

I chose to travel with Air Asia this time because I didn't want to go alone. My Indian senior was compelled to go with it because he had to shell out the tickets for his family from his own pocket. And I figured that we could share a taxi when we got to Bangkok. What a miscalculation that turned out to be, in the end we took seperate taxis.

Tried their Nasi Bryani.

It went down alright. Kinda pricey though. Cost Rm7++.

When we touched down @ Survanabumi at about 4.30pm, it was raining. I immediately did the most logical thing I could think of, restoring communication. Paid Rm50 worthed of top up amount so I could inform the apartment manager on our arrival.

The trip to the apartment was rather unpleasant but part of it being due to my other miscalculation. I had expectations that the apartment is situated in a location midway to the city but boy was I wrong. In fact, it was the other way round. It took us 1 and a half hours to reach the place, and in between we got stuck in a very bad rush hour jam.

Reached the place, got settled in a while and headed to Big C (Bangkok's equavalent to Giant) for essentials. Pretty much summed up the day.

Day 2 (Tuesday, 16th Sept)- Day 7 (Sunday, 21st Sept)- Getting Saddled In

It's all about work the next few days. Kinda felt empty without my other colleagues with me. This time I had to liase with a rather demanding Bangkok based Indian senior. Man how I dislike the guy... he's pushy, selfish and he gives me a strong impression that he's the kind who enjoys ridiculing others. I hate his occasional smirks when he hears about others' misfortunes. Something tells me that I will have to really test my patience with this fellar. So far our communications are still alright.

I didn't have the mood to go out on Friday night. The place I am staying at is an hour away from the city and it would cost me a bomb to travel by cab. Even travelling to the closest BTS station would cost me a hefty amount. So I decided to stay in and finished up Band of Brothers with the DVD player I bought on Tuesday night. In the evening I had dinner with Indian senior's family. Aside from the annoying whining, crying and fussing from the 2 year old son, dinner turned out ok.

On Sunday I decided to take a stroll to get acquainted with the surroundings. Just walking distance from my apartment there's Big C, Avenue, and Tesco side by side. Below are photos of Avenue.

Avenue is resembles a high class place with an open air 'The Street' concept much like the one found in the Curve. It's got a cinema, a bowling alley, a supermarket, gym, slimming centres, kids education centres and countless eateries (Including bars). The place really comes to life especially in the evening.

The cinema.

Gym.

How could I forget Oishi green tea?

Bought some dinner at Big C. Cheap cheap but not so good food.

My next day's breakfast.

Sex and the City Movie.

After my short afternoon stroll, I headed to Indian's senior apartment for lunch.

In the evening, I head to IT Square (Equavalent to Low Yat) nearby my place with Indian senior.

Bought some DVDs for pleasure.

Day 8 (Monday, 22nd Sept)- Day 14 (Sunday, 28th Sept)- Getting Saddled In

Pretty much mundane week. Work... new functions... and a heads up on what's to come this coming Monday (29th). Man there's just tons to do and so little time. I freakin hate that.

The place I am working has this market setup once every month. It spans for 2 days (Thursday and Friday). The market's got everything from food to clothing to accessories. A shopper's heaven.

Duck stall.

Sushi stall.

I didn't walk all the way pass the food area. Was lazy and besides, I didn't have the time. That evening I headed to watch Eagle Eye. Good movie.

On Saturday, went out to IT square for more DVDs, and Sunday... back in the office to get surf the net... and maybe work a little? I chose today because there's no one around and I have all the bandwidth to myself.

Well, that's about it then. Stay tuned for more updates. Hopefully exciting ones to come.

Movies... Movies...

2008-09-28T12:33:00.004+08:00

Living alone in Bangkok can get super boring. Especially when you live so far away from civilization... err... well... I am exaggerating, far from being rural, but still, I consider the city area to be much more vibrant than where I am living right now. =P

So................. how do I fill the time? Especially when there's no Internet access (Super bummer)... and no consoles to satisfy my itchy trigger fingers... What else? MOVIES!

I've recently purchased (More like on my 2nd day here) a DVD player that cost me Rm200. So far it is working fine... but I am a bit skeptical, it does not belong to a brand that I am farmilar with. Oh well... And thus far I've gotten myself some movies that I have not watched before... and some that I have. I've completed the below:

House of Flying Daggers

*Irksome Expression*... And I thought Curse of the Golden Flower was bad... this one is worst... and yeah I know I am many years late watching this lol. Ok, after obtaining feedback from the former film, I kinda agree that it's got very artsy fartsy feel to it, an element that I did enjoy, that aspect is lacking in House of Flying Daggers.

As opposed to CGF that's got a nice finale battle... this one devoids of any. Yeah I know the focus is on the 3 characters, but still the producers given me false hope by showing hundreds of troops nearing the hideout of the undeground group... but to no avail after that. I find that a real turn off.

0/5.

Of all the Zhang Yi Mou's films I've watched so far, Hero remains the best.

Sex and the City Movie

Bought this on DVD. Initially I didn't like it... because I couldn't understand why Carrie over reacted over the whole wedding fiasco. Given that she already understood that Big had doubts about marriage. But yet again, I've been given some insight on her actions, and as it turned out, I did like the movie after all.

In fact, I've turned this into a meal movie. Whereby each time I consume something I have to turn the movie one. ahahaa. =P

Love how the 4 girls turn out in the end. It's a very satisfying ending.

3.5/5.

Eagle Eye

Watched this in the cinema last Friday night. The rating was bad from critics. But I did enjoy it. It's fast paced. And definitely with some plot holes, but a fun movie nonetheless, easily a good entertainment after those long cumbersome days in the office.

3.5/5.

Trailer:

Band of Brothers

Spanning over 10 hours worthed of episodes. Good good mini series. A must watch for those who enjoy World war II movies. Except, the focus is on the paratroopers (Based on real-life war veterans), their struggles in the war. Very human movie.

5/5.

Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2: Episode 3: The Mousetrap

Very psych'ed up episode involving Charley and his wife... and the choice that Sarah has to make whilst realizing that her actions could jeapordize John's life.

Overall 4/5.

Looking forward to more movies... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

When I read this, I kind of thought
"Well, I have always dreamed of hosting my own food TV series on exotic food from the most exotic places on earth... this can be a good start. I love traveling anyway, even if it's just in Malaysia. I love the food, I love the culture, I love the hard core adventure, I love the fact that I might have a change to start things off."

So I replied the email giving them my details despite knowing they were looking for some one in their 30ies. Plus my England is so powderful. Heh. But...

LUCKY LUCKY!

Congratulations! This is to inform you that you’ve been selected as a Travel Ambassador for the AllMalaysian Bloggers Project.

And the rest is history!

...now I have to figure out how to make it back for the launching. I will be off to Kuala Kubu Baru in the morning for river rafting. Not sure when the session will end since it's kind of the dry spell. Plus with Raya traffic.. damn. I wonder if I will able to make it back by 5.30 with proper clothes and my hair combed neatly.

AHHHH how?! The last time I went rafting, there were no cubicles or door for the showers. No plugs to dry my hair.. and I was a mess.

Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2: Episode 2: Automatic for the People

2008-09-19T08:56:00.003+08:00

This is a very slow episode. Basically it shows skynet trying relentlessly to experdite judgement day, by inflitrating every facade in human life, in which this case, a nuclear power plant. It goes to show that the Terminator storyline is more than just sending back machines to terminate John Connor. Coowl.

Also, the episode peeks into Sarah's realization and fear for her impending fall to cancer. An aspect leaning to the canon.

Overall it was an interesting episode... slow... but interesting.

Oh yeah, Cameron is showing signs of deterioration. Not sure what is happening to her. She seems be sluggish when facing off against another model and reacts slowly to commands. We shall see what's up in the upcoming episodes.

3/5.

Is left behind

2008-09-18T22:38:00.002+08:00

Sow has left to UK yesterday. The night before his departure I decided not to go to the gathering as I'm afraid that I would get all emotional so I called him the next day to wish him good luck.

To me, he is more than just a colleague. He is a very good buddy of mine and he will now be officially invited to all the big events of my life, wedding, baby shower and etc. haha. He better show up with the other curry botak.

We will definitely meet up again, the three of us.

Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2: Episode 1: "Samson & Delilah"

2008-09-14T06:57:00.013+08:00

Oh my God!!!! I have just got off watching Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2 Episode 1! and it's FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every strand of my hair on my body practically stood up!!!

Why awesome you say?

1) The opening where Garbage singer Shirley Manson performed 'Samson and Delilah' coupled with scenes where Cameron goes haywire, and some terminator bleak-ish tunes... it's super super super awesome and compliments the entire scene.

2) The tension when John is forced to evaluate his feelings for Cameron before he deactivates her. Feelings sparked by the very emotional plea from Cameron... which supposedly is not possible with Terminators. It goes to show there's a lot more going with Cameron than shown till now. I sorta have the feeling that she's very dangerous... posing as an ally... and eventually revealing to be the true nemesis... this would make a totally coowl story.

3) The introduction of Catherine Weaver into overall plot and the big reveal at the ending... SHE'S A FREAKING T-1000!!!!!!!!!!!!! A HOT ONE TOO!!!! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD... *Flaps hands around*

4) The crossroad for John between teenager to a full fledged leader. He's showing signs of becoming man's savior.

5) A very small window to Agent Ellison's fall from grace... He quoted to Cromatie "I will never do the devil's work", in which Cromatie replies: "We will see".

This show's gonna really get going from now on... I hope the writers do commendable jobs for the later episodes/season. There's just so many possibilities!

If only writers would structure the story like Avatar's... episodes are divided into 2 distinct categories... the fast paced... and the slow. Where the fast paced contains actions scenes vital to storyline... and the slow paced contains backstories for the characters, which is engaging and touching.

Episode rating: 5/5.

To those who supports Tibet and hates Sharon Stone....
