Wong Fu Weekend With Wong Fu!

2012-02-06T12:15:00.002+08:00

Courtesy of Nuffnang, I had the privilege to meet Wong Fu Productions (Wes and Phil, Ted didn't come to Malaysia due to some personal reasons) yesterday at Full House, Sunway Giza :DD Wait, you don't know what/who is Wong Fu Productions?! Google is your best friend :)

Okay, so I said I'm going to have lunch with them, it's actually hi-tea. So, just ignore the wrong usage of word there. Hi-tea, not lunch XD. ANYWAY. Nuffnang picked 15 Nuffangers to have hi-tea with them but unfortunately, the session was just not us and them alone. :3 I didn't count but I'm guessing that were more than 40 other fans there yesterday, who got their invites from lucky draw and whatnot :) But nonetheless, it was still very cozy, I feel. I mean considering the close proximity of us with Wong Fu.

So, I reached Fullhouse at 2.30pm, but wasn't allowed to go in yet so waited..waited.. and waited more. Until about 3.30-ish when I got in and finally got seated. Shortly after that, Wong Fu arrived. But that's after when Jin from hitz.fm walked up first. Heh.

Spot Jin! See, everyone got their cameras ready and so excited for Wong Fu's arrival. Before they came, organizer told us not to flash them and treat them as friends like how they wanted to treat us as friends and also, one of them were unwell.. I'm guessing it's Phil :(

So yah, they cameeeee at last!! Shook hands and they walked towards my table. Shook hands with the peeps from my table, but not with me cause I was sitting at far end, in fact the edge of the table :(

Sitted down, they chit chatted with the people from my table. I was kinda feeling like I was having a starstruck moment. They were like soooo close to me. Hahaha. Even though I'm not their biggest fan (like I said in my previous post), but I really think that to have fans all over the world admiring the work, they must be really something. :D

And then, someone start to get the ball rolling. The not-official autographing session started with my table., and I think only my table. People were smiling and grinning while asking the boys to sign whatever that they brought for them to sign on XD. Phil was signing the cap (which is also Wong Fu's merchandise).

Not a very sharp photo :( That's Phil's hand holding the marker. He was autographing a guy's camera. Hardcore? Hahaha. This is the first time I saw someone asking for autograph on the camera, something new indeed.

Wes signing on a DSLR.

Wrong focus! :( But this was Wes and Phil taking a look at a fan's work for them :)

Remember it was a hi-tea? But many people didn't bother eating because most of us were just looking at them most of the time, and stalking them XD. I didn't eat also coz I wasn't really feeling hungry. This picture was taken when a friend took food beside me hahaha :)

After they finished going from table to table and talking to the rest, autographing and what not, Phil kinda "disappeared" and if I did not mistaken, I think he went to have his lunch. Wes was still lingering around (or maybe he was stopped by all his fans that was swarming in XD) and many people began to crowd around Wes asking for signature.

Wes was really kind, he signed whatever people asked him to, but there was very very limited time so one person can only as for signature on one thing :( Oh look, spot Phil in the background.

So right after that, there was a queue formed. To take a one-to-one picture with Wes! Like I said, Phil "disappeared" :( And due to limited time, one person only allowed one shot with Wes. Nuuu. Yah, limited time :(

So after the photography session was done, they were leaving already coz they gotta rush to somewhere else, which later I found out - they went for a ride and went ABOVE our KLCC. Ahem. Hahaha. So everyone sang, "It's the end of the week. A Wong Fu Week. It's Wong Fu Weekends!", as the Wong Fu boys bid goodbyeeee.

It was about 4.45-ish that time. Then after a few minutes, I also left cause my mum, sister and friends were waiting outside, didn't want them to wait much longer. Hahah. But many people were still at Fullhouse though when I left, so I don't know if I missed anything.

Beatboxer, Shawn Lee was there too. And signing autograph haha.

Anyway, it was a really good opportunity to be able to linger around with the Wong Fu boys yesterday. I think Wes really look very much better in person! I'm guessing Phil wasn't feeling too well thus no photography session with him perhaps? Again, want to thank Nuffnang soooo much for the opportunity to meet the Wong Fu boys!!

And guess what? :DD

Yes, I was one of the people that lined up to take a photo with Wes!! :DDD

And got both Phil and Wes' autographs too.

Imma happy girl :]

2PM Autographed Album - Hands Up (for Sale!)

2012-02-04T10:13:00.000+08:00

Last December, I entered a contest organized by Everyone Connects (EC) Malaysia on Facebook.. the contest prize was really yumz - an autographed album by 2PM. I just joined for fun without much hopes. Contest mechanics was really simple . Answer a few questions that was easy like name all the members of the group and what is our dream, something like that.

I asked Hoong Fong to join along too. And guess what? We both won! :D I'm sure we all know how crazy Kpop fans are.. and a Facebook page with 193k fans, I think it's pretty amazing how I managed to be part of the lucky 30 people selected to own one :P

Which is who's signature?

Top middle is taecyeon

Bottom middle is chansung

Top left is wooyoung

Bottom left star is junsu

Top right is junho

Bottom right is nichkhun

Now,I admit that I am really not the biggest fan of 2PM here. So, I'm letting this up for sale to a person who really appreciates it more than I do :) So ,Hottest, email me! Look at my sidebar on the right and find my email :) If not, just leave a comment here and how I could contact you. Alternatively, you can just leave a message on the chatbox at my sidebar and your email there. Thankss :D

I'm going to meet Wong Fu !

2012-02-02T20:37:00.001+08:00

Tomorrow would be the first assessment for the semester. Two quizzes on the same day. Yep. Next up would be plenty of assignments due dates and such. It's week 5 here but nothing is progressing. Nothing. I mean in terms of assignment. I'm kinda worried. I mean this semester is not as hectic as last semester I guess.. but nothing is progressing. Sigh*

On another note, January was really kind to me. And guess what? I'm going to meet (have lunch with) Wong Fu this Sunday! I can't say I'm their biggest fan, but I think this is a really great opportunity. Don't know them? You gotta google them out then :)

Okay. Got to study. Oh ya, how's CNY again? No more feel already. But fireworks still going on as I type this...

Till then :)

Have been taking a lot of slow shutter shots lately, for the past 1 month and have been very satisfied with the results. Next, I wanna get a prime lens. Friend is selling with filter. Very tempted to buy. How leh?

Save first ba. :O Happy holidays, how's CNY going ? :)

Holiday!

2012-01-21T16:30:00.001+08:00

My holidays have begun, but time will fly as my assignments will be due soon, quizzes coming and midterms and what-not. Sometimes, going to college is fun because I enjoy learning.. but at the same time, I hate it because there's not much flexibility more in terms of timing. :( Everything's kinda rush isn't it. But here comes CNY! I just want to forget everything and enjoy! But. It will also mean regret later?.. -.- I shall spend my holidays WISELY I promise. I promise. This blog will rather be dead. Argh. :( Meanwhile... just keep checking when you're bored. Who knows I might just throw something "interesting" ? I've drafted few posts actually. Klar, till then. Happy CNY :)

My dragon shot, that I took while hanging out with friends yesterday :D

Day 1 of Sem 3

2012-01-03T22:10:00.001+08:00

Last semester of foundation! Cheh wah, super confident I won't be extending sem. Calculated my CGPA today for foundation, and in order to get 6.1/7 I need to get all HDs this semester :( Quite impossibru. Just checked my subject course outline too. Gonna have a 2.5k words group report for human comm. OMG. I hope it turns out well. And as for business, I'll get to run my own business and write a report for that. All these carry good marks. Statistics was dead boring, and the lecturer memang got bad reputation dy. But what to do, can't change class dy. I hope all turns out well. Tuesday is the most dreaded day for this sem. Gah, I went to college for 8am class but class ended after 10 minutes -_-' My next class was 12.30. I managed to survived and rotted for so long. Day was really boring nak mampusssss. Arghh. I hope things turn out more interesting like last semester. Okies. Day ended well, I won a late Christmas present. Feels good :D

Tired for today. Toodles :)

Just let me vent out my frustration here. Anger level maximum. Just experience road rage. On the turning out from Tesco, our car didn't stop and went ahead, then a car, WHO SAW US press oil accelerate maximum and behsong cause we went ahead and he had to brake. After that he chased us, and showed middle finger several times while shouting in Malay. So, I'm all fired up it's not even our fault and why the road bully man? So immature for him to show the middle finger and threatening us. So, I just reached out to my phone and want to snap his picture and his vehicle. He was beside us now, and he saw what I was doing. Now, he think I was threatening him. So he took out his phone and tried to snap us. I don't know if he did but I didn't manage to because phone response slow -_- Reason I want to take his picture is to blacklist him of course, and in my mind I was thinking of using the picture for police report. It would be convenient if there's a online site to report on road bullies too bad there's no online portal to report such cases. And also, he shouted MATI KAU. And while he tried to snap our picture, he wasn't really looking infront, THANKFULLY HE DIDNT BANG ANYONE RIGHT? If not, it would be funny. Ya, so he kept following us until we almost reach our destination but he didn't follow us after that. I assume he should be living around Bandar Tasik Selatan. AND ALSO, his wife(a female was beside him, I shall assume is the wife) was looking, innocently but she said nothing, I assume. Walao, should I pity her for such a husband or blame her for not saying anything? I DONT KNOW.

Pray for safety because he might just come around and dig and find us to gangster us THOUGH IT'S NOT EVEN OUR FAULT MAN. Watch out guys. -_- Watch out for cars with WKJ lol coz I googled and found out another car with WKJ carplate is also a road bully -_-

Thanks to people like this, I just feel like being racist. Seriously. BUT, I must (shall) think rationally. Chinese also act the same way, so it just does not justify. But encountering this kinda situation really make people's prejudices increase. Now, I understand why the deep racial tension.

I'm still angry.

Day 1

2012-01-01T20:49:00.000+08:00

How was your NYE? Mine was awesome to the max! I wasn't caught in jam, didn't get packed like sardines with a few hundred or thousand unknown sticky strangers. I was very very near home, in a friend's house together with the whole extended family yet we don't have any blood relations :)

There was turkey, pizzas, chicken pies. So Western-like? Don't worry we also had mihun and other good food :P There were wine and beer, but no one was drunk, maybe the hyperactive kids perhaps? Also, my first time really drinking beer and I took hours to finish 1/3 of a bottle. Total fail lol.

We just enjoyed each other's company, eat away, laugh at each other silliness during pictionary (again! we're playing this game almost more than once every week for about 1 month, but still not bored of it XD) and played firecrackers O_O

I just love this family of God.

Here's a good star(t) for the new year!

2011

2011-12-29T16:06:00.000+08:00

Of course, again, we've come to the end of the year. December seems to be the month full of thoughts and reflection, but heck shouldn't we be doing this every day?! Reminisce, is the favourite word for the month, I tell ya. 2011 has been eventful, so quickly time has passed, right, as always. And soo many things happened that I can't even recalled properly what happened when; I think I really need to start writing a journal on physical book.

I think I've said this on my blog: that I have something for dates, but this year onwards, I haven't been practicing memory on remembering special dates. Perhaps, nothing is too "special" to be remembered anymore. Perhaps.

So last year, I wrote more than a thousand words in draft before I was in Korea, I am now drafting this post, a few days before the last day of 2011. Was just spending some time reading the post, and my, haha I can't remember what I wrote.

2010 was a blessed year. 2011 is even greater. If you want me to list down every single big and small surprises I've encountered this year, this posts will be too long for anyone to read..Though I actually made a list myself to keep track of whatever things I've gotten this year. Ahem.. From getting free "rubbish bag" (as deemed by my sister -.-) to a brand new spanking awesome phone, I think it's been an awesome thrill ride this whole year as people started called me - contest freak. But what they don't know is, I'm not even the freak here :P Along the way of joining contests, I've made friends of similar interest (you know what interest is this XD) and they've pulled me deeper into joining all these unlimited contests, especially online. Call it peer pressure :/ But I guess the reward behind all these contests is that the thrill of knowing like HOMG I WON IT! YESH! I ROCK :P or.. Okay, I didn't I'm not creative enough, gotta improve more. T_T Hahaha, of course it brings great satisfaction to know you've won something. Who doesn't like being the first? I like it. And even I don't emerge as the first, I also tumpang gembira with those who did.

Nyam. So I just got my results yesterday (it's 29th as I'm writing this). Results were, how to say, unexpected? I took Accounting and Psychology as elective last semester, and the verdict was I got a Credit for both electives. And the core subjects? I got Distinction for both CTS and Advanced English. What I didn't expect was getting a D for the 2 subjects as seniors have always lamented (accurate usage or not? haha) that the subjects are one of the hardests around in foundation. My target was achieving a 3Ds this semester, but didn't make it. What was even funnier is because I targetted a HD for Accounting because my sister seriously managed to convinced me Accounting was dead easy and I believed her. And only to my horror, I wasn't able to really cope well with the speed of the lectures, and kaboom, I only managed a C. So these incidents have convinced me, don't believe what people say! Lol. Haha, I think the lesson is that, my capabilities differs with others, so if others do well does not necessarily means I will do well also, vice versa. As for Psychology.. I think I gave it away during my finals cause I answered the short questions wrongly... And not that I don't know the right answer, I did. But I overthink and confused myself -_- and wrote another answer instead of the right one. So there, another lesson to learn. Next semester, do not overthink!

Semester 2 was really one hectic semester. If you've been following my blog, you'll notice the lack of updates between the 4 months :P Coz I was really busy. I've had quizzes and presentations back to back. I enjoyed my classes, particularly Psychology because I like the lecturer :P She gave a me a good first impression; she remembered most of the students' names at the end of the 2nd class and I have great respect for people that remember names. Her classes were interesting (mostly because the subject is also interesting I guess?) and she was young! LOL :D And not to forget she told us some of her stories as to help us relate better.. Yah. Other lecturers were also good for this sem, I thank God for them. Also, I just really, really want to thank God I did fairly well for my presentations, especially for my CTS one. And also, thank God I did well for my A. English research paper that really helped me boost up my marks. I think it's great to be deemed as "good" once again, since I didn't perform well academically in form4 or form5. Yes, I think I sound quite vain up to this point of this post, but these are just my thoughts. And yes, I take pride for giving my best and able to get some results..why should I practice false humility? I just feel really happy for getting to study what I like to study. And being able to excel in it. Why shouldn't I be proud and happy? You should too you know.

College have forced me to work in groups, which I really dislike because it's hard to coordinate within a group, even with little people. This is especially true when you have to work with strangers, or unfamiliar friends. And the worst is when the expectation is not met, and group does not perform well, eventually pulling the whole group altogether. I think it was a very frustrating period of time, when work is not done yet there are no responses, and I feel anxious for my groupmates if not for myself. My aim is that I want to do well, and by all means, excel if I can. A mediocre would only wish for a pass, and put no effort in it. And I don't want to be a mediocre, and I can tell you that there's a load of mediocre in college..well, at least this is what I see so far. My point is, if you want to be a mediocre, go ahead, but don't drag others down. And I won't force my own aims on others, but I hoped that as a group member, every member would at least feel the obligation as part of the group and contribute their BEST.

Please, don't mistake me as a overambitious person that tries to be a high achiever, and a snobbish slob. I know I really sound very self absorbed in this post. Lol. I know many people who have said that I stingy in teaching others. Well, let me tell you it's not that I kedekut ilmu. I just don't want to teach people the wrong things, and then blame me after that.. and also I'm not a good teacher.. Think, before you say. I've helped the most I can especially during the A. English research paper. I've tried to help friends as much as I can, but well not everyone is appreciate is it? Just give and take. This is life. Well, all in all, I just want to be better than what I was in form4 and form5. I have to admit, I feel like a loser most of the times when I stared at my awful results in that 2 years. I feel that I've given myself enough excuses and I want to do well in college (honestly it's to make up for that 2 years, hahaha), especially when I'm given the chance to study whatever I want. I really appreciate my parents' understanding, especially my mother..for giving me the freewill..

Okay, enough about college :) Let's talk about... what? I'm not sure. There's just too many to talk about. What you expect? 365 days yo! So many events this year. Hmm.. oh yes, I guess I'm back being a coke collector after a hiatus :)

What else? Hmm, oh yes, I finally got my dream come true. Mummy bought me a DSLR :) I'm still owing her the money. I actually want to buy it myself, but because there were some complications.. Anyway, I love having this DSLR it produces pretty pictures without so much effort :P But there must be more effort to play around with aperture, shutter speed, ISO and all..to create more effects and better picture frames...Blablabla..

This is also the year I've learnt to drive and drove and will drive. It's scary on the road, and I ain't confident with my driving, I'm still a noob driver. Gah, I hope things will go better. On the road, AND in parking spaces...

Not sure what else..cause other stuffs are too personal to be revealed here :O

As for year 2012, I've never been a person who set resolutions cause I won't follow them -.- Without a plan, resolutions means nothing. So, I've got nothing more to say. But would like to know if you have any resolutions..? And what would you like to see more on this blog. Let me know.

:) Till then.

DiGi iPhone 4SURE SIRI ANSWERS

2011-12-28T19:46:00.001+08:00

Although no one said it directly to me, but this is what I think of myself. T.T If I ever get an iPhone 4S, Siri would be my only friend. Only friend because I'd be too obsessed talking to Siri. Why? Because when I ask Siri this question.. :

Niahahaha. Humble virtual assistant AKA my personal slave. I like that idea :D Certainly Siri is my best companion who would never refuse what I say. It's like me as Godfather saying : I'll make you an offer (commands) you cannot refuse, and Siri says to me : I cannot refuse you Master. I love it~~~ :D

I AM A BOSS. :D to Siri.

And .. what about DiGi? DiGi is my best companion too. Because DiGi provides me with data plans that allows me to access Siri.

Heck YES! With DiGi and Siri, life is complete! Best companions :)

You want?

Cold as ice

And more bitter than a December

When tonight

That’s how I treated you

And I know that I

I sometimes tend to lose my temper

And I cross the line

Yea that’s the truth

I know it gets hard sometimes

But I could never

Leave your side

No matter what I said

Cause if I wanted go

I would have gone by now

But I really need you near me

Keep my mind off the edge

If I wanted to leave

I would have left by now

But you’re, you’re the only one that knows me

Better than I know myself

All along I tried to pretend it didn’t matter

If I was alone

But deep down I know

If you were gone
For even a day I wouldn't know which

Way to turn

Cause I'm lost without you

I know it gets hard sometimes

But I could never

Leave your side

No matter what I said

Cause if I wanted to go

I would have gone by now

But I really need you near me

Keep my mind off the edge

If I wanted to leave

I would have left by now

But you’re, you’re the only that knows me

Better that I know myself

I can come out dark

Let it go too far

I can be obnoxious at times

But try and see my heart

Cause I need you now

So don’t let me down

You’re the only thing in is world

I would die without

Cause if I wanted to go

I would have go by now

But I really need you near me

Keep my mind off the edge

If I wanted to leave

I would have left by now

But you’re, you’re the only that knows me

Better that I know myself

If I wanted to go

I would have go by now

But I really need you near me

Keep my mind off the edge

If I wanted to leave

I would have left by now

But you’re the only that knows me

Better that I know myself

KFC = Kupon Free Cancel ?

2011-12-15T16:41:00.001+08:00

Consumers are raging because of what happened yesterday. A small mistake by KFC Malaysia have cost them to face their branding humiliation, yet again. The first was when a video of a KFC staff playing in the kitchen went viral over the internet (I think you could google it up if you wanna watch it). Consumers were all raging because the act was really inappropriate and disgusting :/

IF you haven't know it yet, yesterday KFC released a KFC voucher that allows consumers to claim a free double zinger burger set with any purchase and it is valid up to a certain date - January 15th 2012. At first I was thinking, wah, how generous of KFC! Many friends and people went to "test water" to see if the voucher was valid, turns out to be true. But confusion among the outlets had allowed many people to claim the set for FREE without any purchase at all. Some bought just their drinks and get their double zinger burger set. Awesome deal, no?

But the problem came when KFC realized their mistake (too awesome deal and they are not making profit I supposed?) and several hours later, they removed the voucher and said that it was "out of stock". So, this left consumers raging. Some angry cause they tipu la, cakap no stock but still selling :/ Others plain angry cuz they missed out at this awesome deal XD. Saja tamak.

My take on this issue is, KFC never improved, I wanna say padan muka to them but I also feel sorry. I've always been a fan of KFC since young, I love their product but yet how their management works really sucks. If you go to their KFC page now, you'll see great sarcasms from their side when replying comments. Like I always say, Malaysians really fail in terms of service. -_-'

KFC really should sort out their management problems and then improve their marketing. Their marketing sucks to the core. They have breakfast menus but KFC only opens at 11am at certain outlets -_-' They have lunch sets but raised the normal price. Snack plate hiked up to RM11.90 from RM7.90. They say SNAX card is discontinued yet some outlets still accepts them, and there's no clear clarification from their side. Omai, I can go on complaining about their service you know. They should just suck it up, say that they just wanna discontinue the voucher, afterall it's all their rights to do so; instead of saying "out of stock", "didn't expect such overwhelming responses", they should just say they made a mistake -_- OBVIOUSLY THEY DID. Mana got such a good deal one?!

Also, past bad experiences with workers in KFC left me raging too :P and when it comes to complain, they never bothered my emails either! And I've sent 3 emails to them -.-'' So nevermind, forget it. Not that I boycott them, but I really hope they improve their management -_-'

Food: Groupon: Tony Roma's at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng

2011-12-12T15:17:00.001+08:00

Yesh! Makan post again. I just love to share food pictures, make you all jealous and hungry. Muahahaha. Yes, finally, my external harddisk cooperated with the laptop for AWHILE, sempat aku upload pictures before it beeped again :( I'm praying hard it will get well argh.

Anyhows, this was my first time at Tony Roma's. I've never eaten Tony Roma's in my life before. Yes, I'm sad :P Fortunately, Groupon had about 2-3 deals (I think) previously, so my family got the chance to try :D We just love discounts. Good food at cheap price! I LOVE.

Oh ya, reason why we went to Jalan Yap Kwan Seng's outlet is because the deal was only available here or Mont Kiara, which was obviously further away from where I stay.

So anyway, the place was not crowded, we saw many families coming in holding a piece of paper, assuming of course it's the groupon voucher. Hehehe. Place was nice, sleepy lightings as usual but good ambiance.

Mum actually bought two deals, ohoho. So there's more options on what we can eat. So in the end, we had one of each type. Pictures coming up! Prepare to salivate. Oh, see Ruh's bored face there? Ngehehee.

Food came with soup too :D I forgot what soup is this T_T but it's nice :D

POTATO SOUP. I told you I love anything with potatoes didn't I? Needless to say, I love it ^_^

Complimentary bread with garlic. Alamak, the garlic not strong enough. :P But the bread's warm, so it's nice. Unlike a lot of other restaurants that serves cold bread -_-' Oh btw, look at the muka bajet.

This, is Bountiful Beef Ribs - Roma Rack. This is good. This is awesome. This is marvelous. This is enchanting. Okay, I really can't find the suitable adjective to describe it but it is THAT good. I think this is my first time, or my first few times having ribs. With BBQ sauce or honey, I think this has become my favourite food now. Thinking of it also makes me salivate :( Oh, this deal was originally RM 77.50 but mum got it for RM 38 from Groupon. OHOHO.

Mojo Chicken. Original price was RM 58.90, deal was for RM 25.20. Good deal good deal, cause the portion was big, and there was rice. Make you super full. This was good also. :D Tender chicken, enough marination, and oh! Broccolis, are my favourite :D

Grilled Salmon. The value for this is the same with Mojo Chicken, same deal. I love salmon to the max, but after it's grilled and no longer raw, somehow I don't really fancy it as much as when it is still raw. Ohoho. With rice also! Eek. Make you super full again.

Beef Short Ribs. Same deal with the Bountiful Beef Ribs as it is as good! Already with gravy. Yum Yum Yum. But still, the winner for all the dish would be the bountiful beef ribs ^_^

My sister say actually there's four choices of their famous sauce but for our table, we got 1 honey, 1 BBQ and 2 red hot chilli sauce. :3 But it was enough to satisfy us because the honey and BBQ was really good.

One thing that Tony Roma's could improve is that, the cloth stinked ._. LOL. It had some kind of smell, which I cannot explain but it was unpleasant. And please, don't mistake me as going around sniffing people's cloth ok. It's because it was used to wipe our mouth. :P

Finally, drink a lot a lot of water, because it's free :P And it's good for health.

Salivating already? Apparently, this outlet is better than the one in Mid Valley. So,

Familiarity

2011-12-10T22:27:00.001+08:00

Sometimes, we get so used to something because we do it so often that is gets so familiar. But does familiarity breeds contempt? I know how things can go very routine-ish and you get bored because as humans, don't we just like a change? A holiday escapade is always nice because there's a change in environment. But coming back to my question, does familiarity really breeds contempt?

I think not. I think I've played so many times of pictionary and charades over the past few years with the same group of people on the same occassions - usually retreats. And at some point of time, we even can guess the answer even before the person starts drawing/acting. It was until that extent where we became sooo familiar with the game.

But, it was still fun :D I guess it's not about the subject in the things we do, it's our attitude. In my time of playing pictionary and charades, it was pure joy and fun with close friends though throughout the time of the game, we may have some frustrations over some friend who are not really good at acting/drawing/guessing :P

Our attitude always determines on how we respond to things because attitudes is the indicator for expectations. Different expectations, different attitudes. Different attitude, different results. Even with people, how can people date since their teens or 20s and get married and spend the rest of their life together? Won't they get bored? Familiarity breeds contempt? I guess they have set their expectations from the very beginning, to grow old together with that one person in their life that they have committed to, at the altar.

Overquoting Albert Eistein now, we all believe in - "Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"

Malaysian Taxi Drivers

2011-12-07T11:58:00.001+08:00

This post is inspired after a class in CTS (Critical Thinking Skills).

Taxi drivers are supposed to be people in the service line, bringing people from one place to another. It's a profession. But no, generally, Malaysian taxi drivers knows nothing about this word: service.

Here are top 6 reasons why Malaysian taxi drivers are disliked, or even hated.

#6 - Y U NO TAKE CARE OF YOUR IMAGE

If I've not mistaken taxi drivers are supposed to wear their uniforms, in which the taxi drivers looks so messy because it's not tucked in, and it is creased, plus their hair looked as if it's not combed : bad impression.

#5 - TAXI DRIVERS, Y U TAKING UP ONE LANE FOR YOURSELF

They jam up the roads! Thanks for lining up at the roads your bapak own. And, causing more congestions. Thanks man, really, thanks.

#4 - Dirty taxis

Dirty taxis, messy taxis and the worst, smelly taxis. Smelly because the whole taxi actually smell like I'm like an ashtray. -_-' Just overall, bad maintenance of the taxi.

#3 - "Sorry cik/encik, I dunu where"

They don't know where you want to head to. Ironically, it is actually their job, their profession and therefore they should know. But nope, they don't. And most of the time they will even ask you to show the way. It's like the chef in a restaurant asking you to show him/her how to cook.

#2 - "Sorry, jam lah!"

You need to tell them your location and ask them first before you sit in their taxi. They can refuse their service because it's inconvenient for them, due to the jam. The heck? Seriously, uncle?!

#1 - "RM30. Takde meter sini"

How many times were you ticked off and ripped off by taxi drivers who refused to use the meter? Ridiculously and ironically, yet again, although there's a big sign on their taxi saying "NO BARGAIN" and "taxi bermeter", they actually set a price already for your trip, regardless of place. -_-''

There are more reasons. Driving recklessly, what? I personally dislike taxi drivers because of my own experience on the road. They really do a lot of "funny" stuffs that can really drive people up the wall you see.

Of course, this does not apply to ALL. I'm speaking of a general case. I do know of a few taxi drivers that are actually good taxi drivers.

Food: Groupon: Manhattan Fish Market, Mid Valley Megamall

2011-12-06T20:19:00.001+08:00

Way overdue that I even forgot when I made this visit. Groupon had a few good deals with Manhattan Fish Market back to back, a few months ago. This is one of the few deals my mum bought :D Totally worth it.

Can be used in all outlets nationwide except one or two, I forgot you see :P But anyhows we went to the Mid Valley outlet for dinner and voila when we were there, there was a queue already. And, of course, everyone was holding a piece of paper *Groupon vouchers*

But it was okay, didn't need to wait for a few hours or anything :S But I must say, their service is rather slow :( And this always happens.

Not my first time eating Manhattan Fish Market, not a luxurious food or anything also :P But food at discounted price is what everyone loves isn't it?

I really didn't notice that Manhattan Fish Market had so many decos on their wall until I started snapping pictures around. :P I was still testing out my camera you see. Ohoho. One of the first thousand pictures that I took perhaps? To date, I've taken up to about three thousand pictures LOL :P Wokie time to salivate!

Well, food is never disappointing. Still up to standard. Everything was fried though, so get some sky juice peepos. :P It's free hehe, and healthy. And notice one small brocolli in the middle? HAHAHA. One thing they could improve, at least for this outlet is that their should be quicker in their service. And give more mayonnaise! I almost died waiting for them to get me the mayo :/

UPDATES SOON. Everyday, I hope :DD

Sometimes, the only consolation you get from giving is that you gave.
So consoling, no?
Okay, just rambling.
I will be back with some interesting updates (hopefully) and food blogging soon.
:)
