Halo | Last Day Of 2009

Well. Well. Well. 31.12.2009. The very last day of the year. We always wish for a better new year. Is it because that this year is not good? Hmmm...

Was a long year for me. Lot's of changes. Good ones, not so good ones. Am I making any new year resolutions? I don't think so. What's the use of making them and not making it happen? Hahahaha. I'm just flat lazy.

Plans for 'countdown'... That word is so unfamiliar to me. Gone were those days when we look forward to countdown the new year at happening places. Age seems to play a part here. Yeah yeah. Getting old ~ don't want to be squashed in crowded places. * I do sound old, rite?*

Just planned to have a quite countdown at home. But suddenly had a steamboat invitation from Bubu. Hahaha. Food, drinks, company and no crowded places. GOODY!

Halo | Inching Near

Today's number is FOUR!

Halo | That's Christmas!

Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas. Time really flies! Just a blink and it would be new year soon. Haven't been up to anything nowadays, even though every Friday is a holiday. Went shopping a little ~ didn't buy anything =(

Am preparing for the big status change day. Hmmm. What's to prepare? Taking care of my complexion. Keeping fingers crossed not to breakout on that day.

Anyway, did managed to catch AVATAR ~ 2D. Will watch the 3D version soon. If you have a choice, do watch the 3D. It's such a beautiful movie. BEAUTIFUL. Was so immerse into it, forgetting it was an animation. 3 hours! Yeap! Worth every sen of it. You'll be 'wow'ing here and there! =)

So, that's Christmas for me. Did you enjoyed yours?

Screen | Bodyguards & Assassins 十月圍城

This is GOOD! Real GOOD! Better than Storm Warriors 2. Based on true history but not as exaggerating as this lah.

I'm not too good with history so I shall not go into too deep. Hehehe. It's about China Revolutions headed by Sun Yet Sen. Very touching movie. I really felt the movie, the director did a great job!

Loads of big actors are in this ~ Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, Eric Tsang, etc. I was surprised to see Jacky Cheung. Another surprised is to see Leon Lai as a martial art master. Hahahaha!

Please go see Bodyguards & Assassins. You won't regret it.

Halo |Tong Yuen

I came back from work today ~ saw mummy preparing 'tong yuen' for tomorrow's 'goh tung jit'. It means that CNY will be coming real soon =)

So, I went to help out ~ rolling up the tong yuen. Then mummy said ~ this would be the last time you'll be doing this here. Next time, you'll be doing this at your in-laws. Then, it really hits me. It does stings. Not that I'll be away too far but the fact things won't be the same. I can't explain this feeling but it feels 'suan suan'

Next year's CNY sure has a different meaning to me now...

Screen | Storm Warriors II

Let's take a breather from a hectic yet fun Melaka trip =) After 10 years, Storm Warriors II is out. Finally ~~ we went full-hearted for a good movie.

BUT ~ yes a big fat BUT... there wasn't a strong storyline to start with. The way it was directed was totally messy. It's like hanging here and there. I can't deny that the CG was better. It's been 10 years, it's expected.

As for the actors ~ Ekin and Aaron ~~~ has aged =_= *of coz lah* However, Aaron looks matured and Ekin looks old. Sorry guys. I like 'Lit Fung' also. Shu Qi did not return and additional Charlene Choi. Nicholas Tse was in too but I have no idea what happened to him towards to the end.

My last say is the Pang Brothers should stick back to horror movies where they're good at. I must say that this was a let down. Don't put too much hope into this if you're planning to watch it.

Halo | Fun in the Sun @ Melaka

What's going on with a bunch of people going around Melaka?

2 armed with DSLR & 1 with umbrella, tissue, etc.

1 guy & 1 gal

Load of people watching

~Coming Soon~

Halo | Bling Bling Shoes!

TADA! What do you think? I know ~ I know ~ It's not as good as the Ed Hardy. But hey! It's one of it's kind! Not bad eh =)

Halo | New Toy

Cool stuff that I got from the Darlie contest. Yeah. It's been a while when I got it. Was too busy to even play with it. Here you go ~ still fresh in the packaging.

Woah. This is a nice MP3 player. I dunno what's it's called nowadays. Anyway... This "Walkman" does not have any cable to it. I just need to hook up the earpiece and I'm set to go.

Cool? Cool?

Halo | To the North!

A good friend of mine, Ah Soon getting married. So, off we go to the NORTH. He's from Ipoh and his wifey is from Bkt Mertajam. And I'm one of the 'heng dai'. Hahahaha.

As the wedding is on Sunday, we planned to go head to Penang first for a short holiday. And looky what we had @ Gurney. But sad to say that the food is not as great as it used to be. But just whack only lah.

We stayed a night at Tanjung Bungah Resort in a double room with 3 person in it. I of coz have to share the single bed ~ fighting for space. Sigh. Fong Fong slept peacefully the whole night. Hmph!

A new landmark ~ Hard Rock Hotel... Penang. Nope, I didn't buy the t-shirt. Hard Rock Penang woh.... Not like Hard Rock London or Hard Rock Bali... Hehehe. But the hotel was real cool. I would stay here. Maybe ~ Maybe ~ =)

Before we head out to Ipoh, we went shopping *as if we don't get the best shopping experience in KL* But we shopaholics won't let any shopping malls unturned! How can we leave without our Assam Laksa? Hehehe...

@ Kek Lok Si Temple *you won't miss it*

Off we go to Ipoh! More food to come! Muahahaha! And of coz Ah Soon's Wedding =)

Halo | Status

Today marks the countdown for the status change =)

Screen | Marry Me Bella

My answer will be definitely YES! That is if I'm Bella.

The ending just ended with Edward asking Bella to marry him so that he will change her. What!!??? I need to wait another year for ECLIPSE! It's really, really a long wait. But I can tell you that ECLIPSE would be great and so will BREAKING DAWN.

NEW MOON is what I expected. Just like the book, it was not as exciting as TWILIGHT. This time Jacob has buffed up to become the Werewolf. Real toned up! When he took off this shirt, all the 'uuhh' and 'ahhh' went on in the cinema. Hehehe. Yeah he's cool. But Edward is still the one I'm gawking at.

One thing for sure is the CG is nicer. And it followed the book. All the important elements was in there. Those who read the book should know. Let me keep in simple ~ Edward left Bella thinking that it would be safer for her. Jacob was the substitute *yea, it's cruel to say that* Bella started to do reckless stuff to catch a glimpse of Edward. And in one stupid incident, Edward really believe that Bella is dead. He went suicidal ~ asking the Volturi *aka vampire Tai Ko* to kill him. Not succeeding in persuading them to kill him, he planned to show the world about vampires. And TADA! Bella came to save him! *for once*

Hmm. I'm good in summarizing. Hehehe. It's better to go see yourself. I wouldn't mind going for it again. And to see Edward again ~ and again ~ and again ~ *you get the point*

Halo | Glitter Old School Shoes

Look at these shoes! Perfect for my shoot =) But of course I can't afford it. It's an Ed Hardy. Unless I have someone in AUS to get it. Hehehe.

Do you think that I can re-create it with what I have here? Any supporters? =)


OK~OK... Wish me luck. I need all your luck!

Halo | Howling at New Moon

Wohoo!!! NEW MOON is here! Going to watch it tomorrow!!! Just can't wait to be reunited with Edward Cullen.... Ahhhhhhh.....

~Drool on this, first. hehehe~

Yeah... I'm Team Edward *it's obvious, rite?*

Have a peek too!

Screen | ASTRO Boy

I reckon this would be loved by boys! Do you remember seeing this? The normal one on TV? He's real cute. I didn't know about the whole story up till I saw this. ASTRO BOY was not a robot at first. He was a brilliant, healthy living kid. After a lab accident, he vanished. So, his scientist dad went all the way to create a clone. Ahhhh... Now you know, eh?

It was entertaining, but not like Toy Story. This is not a 3D cartoon, not Walt Disney, not Pixar. I think Astro is a Japs cartoon. Anyway, I didn't know the voices behind this cartoon are big names ~ Nicolas Cage, Charlize Theron, Samuel L Jackson. I know it's not like watching the big stars in action. But I really love Nicolas Cage's voice. Ahhhh....

Screen | Twenty ~ Twelve

~DOOMSDAY~

As all disaster movies like Day After Tomorrow & Independence Day, 2012 has no difference. Of course the CG is better, effects are better. The storyline does not run too far. But this movie was done with a full backup of researches. When you key in 2012 into Google, besides talking about the movie, it is predicted that the real thing might happen in 2012! Check it out here ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon

But the movie was cool and funny too. But it also shows how people can be selfish when things like this happens. Yet there are still good people there =) What I can say is that we wouldn't know what will happen tomorrow. Treasure what you have =)

Halo | Lalah Soup!

Well, well ~ he can cook too! With coaching lah. Last weekend, we're feeling a bit stingy. And we opt to cook ourselves a small dinner. Hehe... The kitchen is still standing.

He was really anticipated to cook Lalah Soup. He called a friend to ask formula and of coz I helped! So, here is what it looks like. ~PASS~

Nice? It tasted good too!

I can't be not contributing anything, right? I cook, ok? Don't act surprise! Simple, simple ones still can =) Got this long beans with shrimps! Not bad, leh?

And with just the 2 of us, we had a small dinner with veggie and lalah plus pepper soup! BURP!

Halo | 2nd Chance?

Ahhh.... Another chance to get my hands on the VAIO! But this time would be really tough! Not putting much hope in it ~ with my dinosaur PC. But if you want to have a go at it ~ www.oxy.com.my

Haih. Darlie, such an easy game but I didn't get it. And now this? *sob~sob*

Halo | L~O~V~E

THIS IS IT
MICHAEL JACKSON

"Love is all we need ~ God Bless" Those was the words that often came from MJ. With his soft voice talking, you'll be mesmerized. And with his sultry voice of singing. And with his super cool dance moves. And the list can go on and on.

I really enjoyed the show. It's like as if I was there at his concert. And I feel that it's such a lost that I won't be able to see him live. I remember he came to Malaysia once but I was too young and with no money. I always thought that I'll be watching one of his concert later. But...

My tears was at the edge of my eyes when he sang Earth Song. Memories starts flashing back to my childhood where I used to watch his MV with Billie Jean and Thriller. And how can I forget about Men In The Mirror, Smooth Criminal and Beat It?

As what they said ~ he's truly THE KING. And deeply missed by everyone.

Even Weng, not being his fan, enjoyed it! Thanks Darren for sharing the tix with us =)

Halo | Baddie

I need to stay fit and slim down for my big day. Since I've stopped my California Fitness last year, I did not went to any gym. I know that Fitness First is around the corner but I don't want to pay blindly and without going. Work's been busy.

Suddenly, my colleagues wanted to start a weekly badminton session. Well, I've been there for 2 times. It's at The Club, Bukit Utama ~ near Bandar Utama. It's been a good sweat session. And I do suck in badminton. I don't know the rules. My rule is to hit the shuttle. That's it! I'm not here to win any tournament, just wanted to loose some extra weight. Ganbateh!

Another session will commence soon at the same venue ~ swimming! The Club has a huge swimming pool! I really want to try it. I'm not a good swimmer but still... it's a form of exercise, right? GANBATEH!

If your not a member, you need to pay. If you are a resident of Bandar Utama, you'll get cheaper rates! If you enrol to become a member, it's RM1K per annum and you can use all the facilities including the gym. If you're a walk-in like me, you need to have a ONE CARD. They will deduct the money from the card.

Wish me luck in loosing weight ~~ GANBATEH!

Halo | Nine Emperor Gods Festival

There's a rainy spell nowadays. It's not a witch casting spells or doing voodoo. It's just the ninth month of the Lunar calendar. Marking the Nine Emperor Gods Festival. I'm not sure why rain is associated with this festival. It was celebrated by Hokkiens. The finale of the celebration will was on the ninth of the ninth month of the Lunar calendar.

Anyway, I haven't been at this festival before. Weng took me and Bubu to a temple in Ampang which was packed with people. It was an eye opener, seeing the celebration being done. You won't really get to see this in other countries, maybe in China and Taiwan might have.

Worshipers putting their joss-sticks

The temple main entrance

Just look at the crowd!

And I came, I saw, I conquer. . . erm... and went home =)

Food | Kuala Selangor Seafood with Kelip-Kelip

Agenda ~ Seafood @ Kuala Selangor & Firefly!

Our team went for a Celebrate Success trip to Kuala Selangor. What else is there to eat here other than SEAFOOD! Not wanting to eat at the top 2, commercialized restaurant up front, we ventured deeper into the village and found Restaurant Makanan Laut Bagan.

Burp!

To be frank, the food was OK OK only. But the price is cheap. For 8 people, we *my boss* paid RM165. Not bad, eh? Just look at the amount of dishes we ordered! But the Kam Heong Crab doesn't tasted like Kam Heong. According to the waiter, it's their style woh.

Anyway, the view was great. Luckily the weather was good ~ no rain even it's the Nine Emperor Gods Festival. We just chilled, chatted, joked beside the river.

But before dinner, we did some shopping on fresh sea products. From keropok to fishballs. From salted fish to fresh fish. You name it, they got it!

Up next ~ Firefly! This is my second time. The first time was not very fruitful as I only managed to see some. But at this Kampong Kuantan ~ I was really amazed! It was like looking at a Christmas tree! The view was like one in a million. Too bad that it can't be captured by camera. The experience was priceless. The boatman will take you right beside the tree and you can see those firefly up close. One even flew right in front of me. Wow!!!

The price is RM40 per boat for 4 people. And mind you, it's the original sampan! I loved the experience! Won't mind to go again. Who's up to it? *Just remember to bring mosquito repellent, or you can bring me =)*

Halo | I want ...

~~I want the VAIO ....
