Banjir Bugging Penat

Banjir Banjan
Sigh... poor, poor people... I feel for those who were affected by the terrible flash floods in Shah Alam. I heard poor Annie was one of them. Poor poor thing... It's not easy to go through a flood. I know cos our family went through it before... the ruined furniture, the rush to get the water out, the panic, the rush, the smell! OmG... it's very stressful for anyone. So I wish you all best of luck, be strong and hold on ya...

Bugging in KL
Drove the Bug again on Monday... got the usual bullying in KL. And the funny thing is that Kancils are the ones most likely to try and bully you. Not the busses or lorries. Well, when you're driving the Bug you're much too nimble for them to bully anyway. It's nice to be able to slit through in between narrow spaces that would have been normally unpassable for larger vehicles and therefore be blocked. But back to the Kancil topic, don't these fellas get it that their capacity is only 600cc (or 800cc, later models)? That's like less than half of the Bug's 1600cc powerplant. Come on la... The Bug can smoke them easily, so they're like always trying to overtake on the fast lane, but not able to and eventually go back to the slow lane. Same goes to those hideous turbo-ed ones with cheap loud exhausts and horrible wings and "Mira" stickers. Even though you mod the city car to the brim, you're trying to take on a cruiser, a vehicle built to withstand top speed (fastest I've been is still around 135-140KMH during trip to BugFest 2002) for hours and also able to cruise at 62MPH (100KMH). That's why you don't really see Bugs much in the cities, cos they love the winding roads... But sigh, these small turbo-ed bullies are a nuissance. But I'm not saying all Kancils are a like that, just a minority. The rest are quite well-behaved fellas. Haha, I know you drive one Jess, no offence ;)

Penat-Tired-Letih
Haaaah... work work work... sigh... you get the pic. Everyday seems kinda same, work work work... then jam jam jam... I guess it's the combination that's making it really bad. Sigh... when is Val-Val coming back... too much lah... so long summore... But everytime I wanna be upset with her I just can't. Care for her too much liao. Haii... Anyway, nice to hear than Myn's getting better. She smsed me with her mummy's phone again (no credit) haha... so cute... Hmm, despite all these busy-ness, I still itch for a big project... hmm... wondering what to do... maybe I'll just work on some online banners for a start...

Okla, that's all for today,

PEACE and God Bless,

Bowling x3

Busy Weekend...It's been pretty busy. I've been doin my best to keep my problems away from my mind. All I want is to have a good, fulfilling and meaningful life. I have friends to share stuff with, and a loving family to care and be with me. Looking on the bright side is how I deal with hurdles I have to face...

Bowling with MynOk, on with the lil bowling outing Myn planned from our mini tournament last week. She was so excited she wanted another game the following week, which leads us to this week. Fetched her from her home, after fetching Ulee. Jihan said she'd try to join, but I guess she couldn't... Ivy met up with us at the house too, while Estravada went straight to 1U.

It was a simple bowling game for fun... Then found out that U-Bowl was going to have some sort of tournament soon, so we had to wrap it up by 3pm... and it was already 2pm! So there started our amazing 3 round game, which we surprisingly finished in slightly more than an hour... Had alot of fun, Ivy could play the 3 rounds, despite not having played more than a round before and not wanting to play 3 games. Jeff did well, despite being kacau alot by Myn... he wanted to have enough practice in time for the grand tournament I guess...

After that went to A&W (Myn's fav) for a couple of waffles, root beer floats and meals. Myn's friend, Ameera (correct spellin?) joined us. Friendly girl... bought her a float. We had some chit chat and shared the meal before going for some window shopping. By this time, Myn's sneezing was worrying me... her nose was pink. So suggested going to a mamak for a hot drink. So decided to go to Penang Mari. Jeff couldn't join us as he had assignments to do, so he went back 1st (Myn gave a big hug, probably sorry 4 bantai-ing him alot). Ivy went off 1st while we had some probs getting into the car. It was in a position that the front and rear of the car were dry, while the middle was wet, due to rain coming through only in that part. Hard to explain, wished I took a pic... it was hillarious! Anyway, got the two into the car, while I went paid for the ticket and we were on our way...

In the car, on the way to Penang Mari... slight jam due to rain

In Penang Mari, we had some more chit chat, Myn and Ivy had hot drinks... Myn ordered nasi goreng! Oh my... right after the meal at A&W summore... She kacau Ivy a lot... but it was nice to see Ivy after quite some time. I was tellin her online dat so long didn't meet her. Anyway, surprised to see who turned up there later, it was Myn's sis... lol! She came to say hi, and she looked so pale. Kesian, she's not well... i asked her whether she wasn't well, when she pretended to be ok. She was like "is it obvious?" Aww... poor thing. Told her to rest well after this... She was with Yaya, who was really funny and asked why I had a mark on my cheek. Lol... I asked her "you didn't notice all this while?" hee hee... Anyways, asked her to take care, as I could sense something's not quite all-ok. Waved bye to the two while I sent a rather sick munchkin home. Sent Ulee to the LRT too before goin back...

Sunday Bowling
Sunday went bowling again... this time with the family. Hahaha... this must've been the craziest week, 3 days of back-to-back bowling! Went to U-Bowl early in the morning, we got a shock when we saw tons of people there, playing a tournament. Some masjid was organizing a bowling tournament at that particular time, so there were no free lanes... So we had no choice but to move to another place, which was KLGCC. Went the usual way through TTDI, but then got halted by a mean security guard who refused to let us through because we didn't have a sticker. Sigh... but what is really bad was that after that there was a Honda CR-V that went through with NO sticker! Haiyo... Anyways, we took the other entrance and managed to get in. Found a parking and played a quiet private game of bowling. My mum felt comfortable with no people around because most of us couldn't bowl too well... hee hee... Had 2 nice games before moving on to lunch, which was at Muhibbah in Taman Tun. Lovely, lovely lunch... Well, the rest of the day was spent resting and doing chores. Which sums up a fully-utilised weekend...

Not much to add, dun feel like talking more...

PEACE and God Bless,

Busy Week...

It's been a pretty busy week, doing my best with work... In fact I'm sure that there's some improvement to our working ways. We've been finishing not that far off-target, and this is without Val around (miss you Val-Val...), and we have had like 4-5 (issit?) weeks of no Saturdays! That must mean something. Btw, Tony mentioned that they're trying to make Saturday a break and rest day for all of us. So we should finish everything on Fridays. Which is good news... hehehe... I love Calvin's answer (No need to work on Saturdays, can pak toh).

Hanging Out with Old Friends
Met Azahir and Azri at Chilli's 1U. It's been AGES since I've met the two, especially Azri, whom I've not seen for quite a while (these two are like my really good friends... they've been my buddies since the good old Taman Tun days...). He wasn't there even at my 21st birthday bash dulu, so you can imagine how long that was... Talked bout life, our studies or careers... Azahir's really into photography. He's in his final year, and things have been getting really serious. He mentioned he's really into fashion photography now. Azri however, has opened a shop I heard... should have asked him more la... hehe... regretted not doing so... Anyways, makan alot (I was hungry too, didn't have lunch... but watched what I ate) and Azahir did his usual 5-refill-drink marathon. Chit chat some more after that before going home and calling it a day...

Malaysian Today's 100th Issue Bowling Session
It was a really hectic day. Fridays, where we normally have tons of work and finish late, and adding to that is the horrendous jam outside of the office. But somewhat miraculously, we did it! We were quite behind target, but we made it. Imran tumpang-ed me, while Zali went in Rash's car. Tony, Winston, Terence and Jessie went off earlier... It was soooo jam packed, we had a rough time. Eventually Rash took lead, leading us through Federal Highway. He had to stop at a petrol station near Hotel Armada, so I pushed on 1st.

Arrived at Pyramid, thinking "yay!", but didn't know there was a massive parking problem. I wonder why everyone in the world is there. Hee hee... Entered at the top floor, went down a floor, another, and yet another... one-by-one... eventually we found parking at level 2. OmG... lol... Went to Pyramid Bowls, arrived at 8.30, a full 1 hour and 30 mins behind the promised time. Anyways, it was a fun game, I did badly though... dunno la, the balls were kinda different, and the lanes felt really, really weird. That was until I noticed that the lanes were somewhat shorter than normal. So I miscalculated most of the time. Hee hee... but it was fun! Tony was the real champ, with Rash, Zali and Terence close behind. Jessie was actually not bad... and well, she's our boss, so had to give her good support. She was rather good, and not to mention looked really cute doing it. Imran was funny. Didn't get whether he was actually good or bad. One shot strike, one shot longkang... hahahah.... Me, I was either last or second-last. I didn't know what was wrong, but I wasn't playing as I should. Got a couple of strikes though...

Oh ya, we actually ATE at the ALLEY! Okla, mee hoon and nasi might still be okay. But beehoon soup and cantonese kway teow? LOL... should have snapped pics la... but we managed it. Really nice orange juice completed the awkward meal. Hehehe... After the game, Imran and Jessie hitched a ride in my car while I dropped them up at Pyramid's entrace, where Jessie's driver was waiting. Whew... what a day that was...

Some Just Don't Learn, Do They?
Some fella's really getting too much on the bad comments and threats. Whoever it is, even though I dun think it's quite necessary, my mum's getting the securities and investigation crew to get to the bottom of this. They're sort of like Malaysia's FBI. Well, I heard they're quite efficient, and if you read the papers, they can normally find out who you are, no matter where or when you posted anything offensive. One of the good examples was the Siti Nurhaliza-Sharifah Aini case, and of course, the famous nude-squat issue. How far they'd go to search is another matter, but we'll see how it goes :)

Okla, got more to post actually, but sleepy... will continue... looks like I'm enjoying life after all, despite the lil hurdles along the way... :D

PEACE and God Bless,

Misty Thursday...

Misty KL...
Oooh... was travelling this morning to work and I couldn't help but notice the nice misty skies. It's such a refreshing thing to see, after all the heat and rain lately. But they dun normally last long. By the time I reached KLCC area, the mist was almost totally gone... Oh well, it was beautiful while it lasted.

Lights Gone Bonkers
Just as I've replaced the driver's side rear lamps, the other side acts up. Now when the night lights are switched on, when you brake, the signal indicator lights up, like brake lights... instead of the actual brake light. And when you signal, the signal indicators dun light up, instead the night lights flash. Pretty fast too... hehe... must be some wiring problem. Will try to sort out asap.



Activating Activities
Trying to find stuff to do... (not that I'm free from work... lol!) Well, I'm meeting my good fren today after work. He's a friend from back in my Taman Tun days... So it's always nice to hang out with him. Got a lot of catching up to do, especially on studies and careers... Oh, btw, yesterday chatted for a short while with Priest's friend online. I thought it was him, so wanted to ask bout the site. But anyways, he mentioned dat he was concentrating on studies and all, and I guess this is a tough time for him. It's understandable, cos I went through a lot during my SPM days too, family breakdowns and all. Hope he pushes all problems aside and does well. His friend also mentioned bout his modem kena struck by lightning. Ouch... My old Merz modem kena before too, it's painful. Feel sorry for him, hopefully it gets sorted out soon, as well as the site... There's gonna be company bowling this Friday to commemorate with Malaysian Today's 100th issue. Wonder whether we can make it, but I sure look forward to bowling (healing from the aches liao). And of course Myn wants a game of bowling too... haha... That's a lot of bowling... lucky Eliza's bowling plan is off... or is it? *shiver*

Superstar?
Hmm... Yumi ajak-ed me go to catch Project Superstar recording again, but I was just too busy with work. So apologised to her... I sure do hope she found a safe way home. Hmm, I saw she left a message on my comp early in the morning, I guess she's ok. :) I'm not sure who's gonna win as I'm not really a follower. Just have to wait and see I guess...

Bird-Flu!
Bird flu is out again. Sigh... there goes chicken meals... lol. Latest update from the news states that chicken from outside of KL and Selangor is still safe, but it's kinda hard to tell right? Anyways, good thing it's not really a necessity to eat chicken as there are alternatives. Hope everyone takes care during this period of time...

Weirdos
Been gettin anonymous messages from unknown people again. Well, nothing new, I've been getting this sort of thing since my raptorclans site time years ago. Lol... maybe I should resurrect that site, since I have some web skills from college. I was planning to, just for fun... but still wondering what I'd put in the site this time around, since back then it was focussed on school and college. Anyways back to the messages. I remember the time I used to be called things like "Dinosaur Head" and all sort of weird names, sometimes really degrading. Well, no use entertaining these sort of stuff. They come all the time. Good thing they dun mean anything to me. Probably some immature fella from the forum. Reminds me of the Mobb Debb fella. Well, he seems to have quietened down a bit. Maybe he's changed his ways? Hehe... if he did, maybe he might turn out to be a pretty normal and friendly fella. It's no use fighting, friendship always wins... If people want to be mean to me, I'll just leave it to God to solve it. Be at peace with myself.

Everyone take care, weather's not too good, and there's virus in the air...

PEACE and God Bless,

Forum Down, Lamp Done, Seoul-ed Out~

Nothing much to talk about, but dunno why I'm still itchy to post... Hee hee... despite being tired and all.

Farahnatic Forum Still Down
I've no idea what's going on, but the Farahnatic forum has been down for way too long. I've been receiving a lot of smses and messages on Messenger asking what's going on. The sad thing is I have no idea. Especially sad since those fans who have joined us for the 1st time during the bowling tournament can't share their experiences. I also can't post the latest updates, and also bout Farah's appearance during Jac's show at Planet Hollywood. Sigh... worse comes to worse, I'll have to do like how I used to do; through mass-sms. I've been discussing lightly with some of the Farahnatics, and if the site's hosting is always down, we might need to consider changing hosts. I've always thought that we shouldn't use a cheap host. One of them suggested a host that costs RM150, which sounds alright to me... and it has a lot of features too, including service. And we might also consider getting a designer to help design it, make it more professional-looking. We can then maintain it. And there should be a team administrating the site, so that at all times, there's someone to handle it. Well, if Farah is going to be a top-notch artiste, we have to go all-out, no expense spared. My mum is even considering sponsoring the whole site and domain. Might need to do an emergency meeting soon, as time is running out, Farah starts recording next month, we need to get ready...

Rear Lamps RepairedThis was done on Saturday, just that I didn't post any pics... At least now the car has regained it's rear lamp that was broken. Surprisingly it costed RM80 with workmanship, compared to it's original price of RM180. It's a second-hand, as a new one would cost RM380 a piece.

Broken lamp in process of being changed. The new one is lying on the newspaper...

Beautiful restored lamp!

Seoul Bulgogi Again! YAY!
Went to Seoul Bulgogi again last night... for bro's birthday. It's really nice to eat there. I still remember clearly my 1st time there... ooh so dreamy (ehem). There's much less people on a weekday. You can eat freely and pick the food without much problems... The drinks have to be ordered though. Unlike the buffet syle during the weekends... But ooh it was so good! Love the place very much... hehe...

Ok, work's come in... gtg...

PEACE and God Bless,

Crraaaawwllll.....

Nothing much happening lately... I'm typing while trying to tahan this awful cold I suddenly got. Phew~ Whole body is aching (after-effect of the bowling tournament... 4 games was fun, but sure ached!)... sure hope my lil munchkin is ok. She's young and not used to it, worried she might be aching too...

Cari Present
Went to KLCC to get something for my bro, who's birthday is today... Got him a double-CD compilation of evergreen hits from Tower... hope he likes it. Thought of getting a Chinese or Japanese compilation, but aftraid he'd lose interest fast. Had it wrapped and headed to the bookshop near Cold Storage and bought a copy of Max Power, which was sold at a fraction of the mad price at Sungei Wang. Hehe... had a drink and started home. Got caught in another crawl... haih...

Spotlight on Delia Arnold
I guess a lotta people haven't notice this cute 20-year old National squash player much. But I have... hee hee (Ask Val and she'll go nuts! Hahaha... Gosh I really miss her...) She's an up-and-coming star, although most of the time she's just in the shadows of Nicol David, which is understandable since the former is the world No.1 and she is quite some places behind... But I was pretty excited when I read the news today. In the Asian Squash Championships at the Taipei Big-Egg Dome yesterday, she did pretty fine indeed, handing Sri Lanka’ Kushani Daluwate a 9-0, 9-0, 9-0 whitewash en route to the second round. I'm not too sure whether she improved tremendously or was her opponent weaker, but that's one score to be proud of. Hope to hear more from this cute player...

Crawl-Crawl-Crawlllll....
Sigh... what's with KL and all these crawls! Aaarrrggghhh!!!! This morning had to pass the usual Puchong-Sunway crawl, then after passing it, got stuck a bit after filling up petrol at a Shell station midway. Then passed through, U-turned and went to Taman Tun, had to go to Bumiputera Commerce to put in the money in for the Inter-Forum Tournament. Payments for both the Farahnatics and Pinkies. After that I headed to work. Got stuck in another horrendous jam from Taman Tun to Bangsar. I skipped Bangsar altogether and took the route to KL. Which was jammed too, but not as bad... reached here finally, tired and all.

OK, better stop blabbering bout jams and start doin work,

PEACE and God Bless,

Shock: Ting Ling was Voted Out & Bowling Update

We're still proud of you, Ting Ling!
Ting Ling has just been voted out of Project Superstar last night, making lots of friends and fans sad... Many agreed she didn't deserve to be voted out as she was definitely not the worst. But sigh, this is reality TV. Remember what happened to Farah? I actually watched this show because of her... well, I do agree some of the others do have potential, especially that girl Kinki. But oh well, what's done's done. Wonder who's gonna get the title...

Image hosting by Photobucket

Ting Ling, if you're reading this, dun feel sad k. Smile, like you always do, we're still so proud of you for getting this far. I hope your dreams won't fade away now, reach for the sky, the stars and the moon... We'll be right behind you, giving you that extra push dear. All the best and take care!

Bowling @ 1Utama
Yesterday we had an excellent mini bowling tournament among the Farahnatics and Pinkies (Daniel Fan Club). It was a superb event. I went there early, because I promised to go eat sushi with my pet sis Myn. Fetched her from her home, her sis couldn't be around (had some stuff to do with RTM, something to do with hafal-ing 5 songs for her next show). So I became big bro and had to take care of my lil sis. Sushi was nice, Ostro joined us too... After makan we headed to U-Bowl. Ulee and Estravada was there, and also Auntie Salbiah. Met Mart3eighteen there too... 1st time. Hehe... Saw Teng, Yumi, and gang too... We were eventually joined by Arjuna and sisters, LeOn, Priest and Zharif.

At first Myn didn't wanna play, but I pujuk her to play. She was so cute, trying to find a suitable ball. Settled with a pink 8 ball. She almost hurt herself with a pink 14 ball, not knowing it was that heavy, she took it and it slipped off her hands. The holes were big and her fingers were tiny. You get the idea... Sort of guided her to play, along with Estravada and Ulee. She wasn't that good at 1st, but eventually got better. We played 2 games to determine the Top-4 for selection. The Top-4 then went to challenge the Pinkies' Top-4. I dunno what happened, but some of them didn't get to maintain their strong play. Hehe... but it's all in the name of fun. I was pretty inconsistent, if I could improve on my constant mistake of letting go at the wrong angle I could do better. Eventually frustrated with just watching, me, Myn and Ulee paid for another 2 games. Not that we're that good...hehe... but for the 1st game, I played real bad, Myn matched my score of 78. So proud of her... hee hee. For some odd reason, I could score well for the last game... hahaha... 100-plus... Eventually the Pinkies won by a small margin. But the two clubs are such sporting and friendly people, cheering for both. It's nice to know that like Farah and Daniel, their supporters are also friends. Everyone had a blast, there were lots of laughter, smiles and fun. I kinda injusred my knee in a silly accident. Was playing with Myn to get one of those pics below, and hit a really sharp-edged table. OOuch... hurts even till now... Overall it was a superb game, and we look forward to the 5th of March for the Inter-Fanclub Tournament. There's also a lil game I was planning with Myn... hee hee... Oh ya, brought her to A&W for a lil waffle. She denied wanting it, when I could see she wanted it... Such a darling. Had some floats too, before I sent her back home. Dropped Ulee at the LRT too on the way back. It was pretty tiring, but so great!

Tired but Excited...

Finished Work Early!
Amazingly, we managed to finish work fast... bout 4-plus we were all done! I surfed the web as well as checked my emails and forum as usual before going back. I can't leave the office that soon cos I had a date with Jess later on in the day. So I went to Mid Valley Megamall... just walking around, bought a mag... nothin much... went to Bangsar and tried to waste some more time. Then Jess smsed, saying she's home... a lil earlier than expected. So I started making my way to her place. Took a wrong turn... haha... so got a lil lost before reaching.

Tired but fun...It was really nice to meet her after so long. I dunno, but I feel she gets prettier each time I meet her. Haha... and her outfit was really cool, although she says it's very normal. Hmm... We were to go to S&M near Petaling Street, because she wanted to look for Kenshin posters (she's a newfound anime fan)... There was some real heavy traffic at that area, but we got through. Parked at S&M, which was so dark and scary. I told her never to got there alone... God knows what characters might lurk. Told her dun worry, I'm here (unconvincing sense of security)... haha... Came across CK, not sure where he was going, but it was a bit of a surprise to find him there. He walked by, I said hi to him, and he thought me and Jess going pak toh! OmG... He went off before I could fully explain.

Oh well... went to a number of shops there, couldn't find the poster for Jess... poor thing... Told her we'll try another location on another outing. I bought a DVD of My-HIME for RM29.90! WooHoo~ Haven't watched, but I sure do hope it's of good quality...

Walked along the streets near Petaling Street... Jess said she just liked the feeling of walking there at night. Maybe because it was cooling... and busy? Hee hee... Had Nando's after that for dinner. Had some long chit chat, bout things that we've gone though. Well, Jess is so cool... she can just read my mind. She hit spot on what I'm going through and even gave me some suggestions. So sweet... But yeah, like she said, it's easier to advise people than to take your own advice. I find that quite true. Had some further chats in the car on the way back, and she also looked at a number of pages of Malaysian Today as well as one of my photo albums. Hee hee... Sent her home, waved byes as she got through her gate. She mentioned bout our next meet up in 3 months, but I sure do hope it's sooner than that! :D

PEACE and God Bless,

Superstar Mania

Went to Sri Pentas 2 to catch Project Superstar's recording there... Thanks to yumi for getting me a pass. It was rather last minute, but I decided to go... Then came the most massive jam I have EVER seen on the highways... my goodness... it was so bad... I left the office like 6.35-6.40pm... arrived at SP2 about 9-plus pm. Phew... I got a pleasant surprise when I saw Annie, Kelly, Ethan and gang there... (they were surprised too!) and guess what, they were with Ting Ling banners and boards! OmG! I was so excited... cos they were so well designed, and looked really professional. Came in a set, with the LARGEST banner in the whole studio. Well Ting Ling, that's what happens when you have designers as friends; a whole battalion of well-designed support. She sang really sweet... although I didn't understand a single word, from the singing, to the host (which I find rather annoying), the narrator and the judges... I only caught the names... and cheered whenever they did. I'm not that good in judging chinese singing, but I can say Ting Ling has rather tough competition... The girls are rather good, and they have rather solid support. Ting Ling's singing was nice to me, and she looked like a star already... it's like so cool, she summore being so girl-next-door in college, now she's singing... whoa! Too bad I didn't get to see her in person. I had to send Yumi home before 12midnight... Miss meeting her after so long. It's so hard ever since I started working... even Kelly, it's the 1st time I met her in person for almost a year!... Well, I'll do my best in my part then.

Go go Ting Ling!

V's

V's DayAnother year's Valentine's Day came and went... nothing much to shout about. Well, sure, I did ajak a number of people out, one of them had plans with her friends, so I guess it's ok. Oh ya, Myn's feeling better already... my poor lil munchkin pet-sis is still down with fever, but hopes to go to school today. Hope she takes care... she's so cute, saying she's missing me and all. Hope to meet up at this weekend's bowling. Another fren had to go back due to being tired. Well, with most friends working there wasn't much else that could be done. But either way, it's just a day. I can always ask them out any other day. Hehe... So I just continued with work... which was really hectic. Anyways, Val's still off, so I couldn't ajak her for dinner either. Luckily I managed to join the family for mamak at night. Hee hee... Nothing like piping-hot roti bom and mutton curry. Woohoo... And surprise of surprise, Mahbub has FRIED ICE CREAM! OmG... I love it! It was pretty good, you can even hold it... So that was my yummy Valentine's Day. At least it's better than going to Times Square alone like last year. Watching all the couples there is pure torture, trust me... Happy Valentine's, people!

What the...Ok, this made me pretty mad. The 155's tail lights were perfectly fine on Sunday when we went to Dataran. I didn't drive it on Monday as I took the Bug. Now on Tuesday, I drove it, and when I was at a shop, I looked at the rear, and got a shock. A broken tail light! WTF... sigh... there was a crack almost the size of your palm, and a hole in the middle. There was a slight gash to the bodywork too, which shows something or someone hit it. I dunno who did it, but not telling me is seriously irresponsible. Not to mention how much would it possibly cost to replace this Italian-made tail light! Sigh!!! Bought some tape and covered it up for now. Just in case water seeps in. Might go to the shop this Saturday. But then again there's the lil bowling tournament... hmm...

Banner - The Aftermath
Here's the banner after it's all dried up. It doesn't look like much, but trust me, it's flimsy, the 3D words are all bent, the flat ones wrinkled and peeling, and Farah's pic well... the pictures explain everything right? Will repair soon...

Rain or Shine... the show must go on!

Some update on what happened in the remaining stages of the Le Tour de Langkawi concert (for the Farahnatics who couldn't come...) before I talk bout Sunday!

Update on the Segamat Leg

On Friday Farah performed 2 songs at Segamat, Johore. They were 'Kembali Lagi Di Sisimu', and 'If I Ain't Got You. Farah was really-really happy, because although the Tampin leg was really good, the Segamat leg was like double that! She was also excited and honoured as many of the other artistes that were performing went and salam her as well as congratulate her in the tent after her performance. Hazami is practically a fan now. lol! Farah was kinda overwhelmed and can't believe all this is happening. Well, it's good that she's feeling all happy, as it's good motivation and I'm very sure that the more supportive the fans are, the better the person will perform. (So Johore folks, give yourselves a pat on the back. Everyone, give them a round of applause! WooHoo!!! These people rock!)

Update on the Malacca Leg

On Saturday Farah performed 2 songs at Malacca. They were 'Don't Speak', and 'Mimpi'. Farah was excited, even though the support wasn't as great as the other two legs... she's really grateful all the same. (Those Malacca folks who supported, thanks a lot!) I managed to catch her there... when I listened to her version of Mimpi... it was awesome... made me smile by myself, just so happy 4 her. too bad I didn't take any pics or recordings. Many apologies... She looked sweet as ever, altho tired, due to the intense heat... but it's good that the Dataran leg is a bit later than this... Passed her the lil stuff she asked me to collect from her home if I was coming. She was all drenched with sweat, but looked so pretty... gosh... She salam my mum, and made the security guard malu, as he wanted to accuse us of hgoing to serbu the tent. Apala... lol. Went with my mum and had authentic Peranakan food. Yummy!!!! Oops... should have taken some pics.

Kuala Lumpur - The Grand Finale

Image hosting by Photobucket

The Kuala Lumpur Criterium is one of the most awaited legs of the Le Tour de Langkawi. It's also the one which goes around KL City Centre... 18 laps around the city, it was fast, and accidents do happen... It also marks the end of a week-long event, travelling hundreds of kilometres... (not to mention the closest thing to a Nationwide tour by Farah... hee hee)

Rain, rain, rain...The grand finale... it was quite clear at 1st... fetched Ulee, LeOn and Estravada on the way... my mum came along too. I brought my huge banner from my Genting trip last time. We sat on the nice dry grass, waiting for the event to start. The weather was fine, and I sure wish it stayed that way. It was 3pm, we went there early as the roads are closed from 3 onwards. The Kuala Lumpur Criterium went on... whoa they were really fast! Took a few pics, the digital ones couldn't come out clear, as they were too fast. But I hope the SLR ones come out clear... Then it started to pour. And pour it did... It was so heavy! Luckily we moved into a tent earlier due to instinct. Met Safarina and her bro there... Waited patiently till 5pm, the time the show was supposed to start.

The rain didn't calm down... Farah said the performance will go on as scheduled and not be postponed. I told her, "watch us!". So talked to the rest, we decided we should join in only after Nita finishes performing. Well, due to a number of reasons... hee hee... 1stly because of her bad remarks on Farah... and well, we never liked her anyway... lol! But then the crowds started to form in front of the stage, so we decided to go anyway, in the pouring rain... with the banner! We waved Farah's banner while Nita was singing... lol... (felt a bit guilty, I'm sure she's like so geram!) And it was rather odd that she sang Farah's songs... well, she didn't mind anyway...

When Farah came out, the fans were hysterical! The screams and cheers were WAY louder than anything I saw that day... we sure made our presence felt... With our banner, which my mum held, while I recorded... Estravada was so nice to cover my mum in an umbrella. I was pretty drenched in rain. It was cold, but what the heck, I didn't wanna dampen Farah's spirit... She sang so wonderfully... "Kembali Lagi Di Sisimu", "If I Ain't Got You" and "Mimpi"... Woo Hoo! She changed the arrangements in "Kembali", she said for fun, because it'd be boring if it was the same all the time. And boy was it nice! Her version of "Mimpi" was superb... Well, each person has their opinions, but here's mine. It was the best version of Mimpi I've ever heard... She sings so much better than the Top 2 of Malaysian Idol 2. Her voice has lower pitch, and has a better range... so you bet it was melodious. It was sung onto the minus one of Nita's version, provided by our fren MXV. Sure, she needs some polishing, I hope she improves more before her album is finished. She sang like an angel (as usual!) and our cheering and support sure attracted attention. The recording camera faced us, and there were a lot of glances to the back as we screamed. A number of people snapped pics of us too... hee hee...

Anyways, most of us were drenched... Jihan came and joined us. She looked so pretty and sweet under her umbrella. She said we're so semangat, even under the rain... hee hee... I asked her to join the Akademi Fantasia auditions, and she will eclipse Mawi if she won... hahaha... after the performance and screams, I just noticed that I should have passed the photos for Farah to Jihan. So I ran after her to the backstage. And I met Farah and her mummy too there. Said hi to them, and passed the pics... They were so touched at our antics that they asked us to come over for some hot tea. But I told Farah it's ok, since we were all drenched. Sad, but had to tell her maybe another day...

The precious banner that me and Val made in September was sort of ruined... (I'll post a pic later...) I haven't told Val, but I really hope she won't be upset. I'm planning to repair it, as the main damage was to the glossy photo board, which wasn't waterproof. Farah's photo looked like it melted and she went through a snow house. Well, it's repairable, the good thing was we made an impact and gave motivation to her. Hee hee... I'm also planning to make another new one soon... hopefully in time for another show. This time it should be more waterproof and also lighter...

I guess that's all to tell for now... will post more pics when I get them as well as the video of the hysterical Farahnatics who took Dataran Merdeka by storm!

PEACE and God Bless,

Touring with the Tour...

Update on the Tampin Leg
On Wednesday Farah performed 3 songs at Tampin, Negeri Sembilan. They were 'Kembali Lagi Di Sisimu', 'Mimpi' and 'Don't Speak'. The weather was "panas gila" but she felt really really happy because the crowd was super supportive and bewildered when she performed (Negeri Sembilan folks, give yourselves a pat on the back. Everyone, give them a round of applause! WooHoo!!! We need people like you guys here in KL!) She said 'best gila2 and puas hati sangat2'. Isn't that sweet? Thanks to all of those who came to support her, please do try to join in on Sunday at Dataran for the grand finale as we're trying to make it as grand as can be.

She's very grateful to each and every one of you for the support.

Le Tour de Langkawi - Segambut Leg
Today Farah's performing at Segambut, Johore... Anyone and everyone who can make it please do so... make it fun, make it cheerful, do it for Farah! Go go GO! Johore folks, here's your chance! Go for it! Show her that you care and support her~ Bring in your friends, bring in your family, bring in everyone! Rock the place, people! Expected race finish is around 16.24hrs or 4.24pm. Events should start around 3pm. Be early and show your sporting side...

Btw, Farah made it onto the Le Tour de Langkawi website for the Tampin Leg... albeit a seriously tiny pic:

Let's Rock Dataran Merdeka this Sunday!
For the Dataran Leg on Sunday, we're hoping that as many Farahnatics as possible can make it and support to the max. I've been passing the Dataran each day when going to and back from work, and I can see the finish line all readily assembled and a concert stage all nicely built. This is going to be big, and there will be lotsa coverage. I just thought that it'll be really good for Farah's image if we can show that she has a really strong and supportive fan base. I'm not too sure on the expected time of finish, but I think we should be safe if we hang around from 12noon onwards, because you can expect the roads to be closed and all... so it's better to be early than sorry. Bring all the support you can, friends, family, banners, pom-poms anything... Farah's not going to be the only performer there, so let's show that she has the best supporters!

Farahnatics, are you in, our are you out? Go go GO!

Sorry bout this entry being only bout the tour... kinda busy with work, and I have this 2006 Poll to make for Microsoft to approve. Will post details here when it's done so you all can vote. I'm promoting all this just to help Farah. She's gonna be real tired with all this touring, and having a wonderful crowd to be there should bring a much-deserved smile on her face.

PEACE and God Bless,

Yay... Fun with Dick and Jane!

See Dick Run...
Caught 'Fun with Dick and Jane' today... it was quite fab. As expected, ticket redemption finished fast, I have a feeling slightly more than 15-20 mins. There was a long queue to the cineplex, and it shows that Malaysian today readers are getting smarter and now know that if they come in early they get to book the nicer spots. lol... Watched with Val, her bro & sister-in-law, Farah, Yaya, Calvin and his fren... It was a really hillarious movie, and I believe this will add some credibility to Jim Carrey's acting skills. Because he did really well, and there is this wonderful chemistry with Tea Leoni, who looked wonderful herself. There were so many laughs, and I just couldn't stop laughing at some scenes... watch out for the 'gags at the fat dude' and the 'lebam-lebam' scenes... lol! Yaya was pretty funny... she's so serious watching the movie. Even Farah who was laughing out loud said she rasa segan pulak when she look at her being serious. But we had serious fun, and after the movie I was surprised that Liang joined us too. Lol... Farah pulak wanted to go to karaoke at The Curve, but it was with her group of friends, so I didn't wanna sibuk. hee hee... (this gurl ar, it's 11-plus, go karaoke? finish what time lei? lol...) so went to the car park, said bye-bye and headed home...

Le Tour de Langkawi - Tampin Leg
Okay, today Farah's gonna perform at the Tampin leg of the Le Tour de Langkawi... so those who are in Negeri Sembilan are encouraged to support her and be there where she's performing. It's also a good chance for those there who haven't gotten the chance to meet her yet. So what are you waiting for people? Go go GO! Show her you care! :D

Okie, how's that for a short blog? :D

I confirmed with Annie dat it's really her (cos she didn't answer my sms). So we're gonna help promote her. So guys, if you're voting, help vote for her yeah? Thank you, muchos gracias, arigatou! Very proud of her...

(ps: sorry for stealing ur pic, Ting Ling... promotion mah... lol)

Nostalgia...
Been watching many episodes from Transformers : Masterforce, and loving it! It brings back a lot of memories, as I used to watch every episode during the weekends... Masterforce is regarded by many as the best Transformers series, and it has a different storyline from the original Generation 1, Headmasters and Zone. In this series, humans combine with robots to form the Transformers. There are the original ones left behind on Earth (Pretenders), but they soon pave way to more powerful ones that use humans. There are Junior Headmasters, which use bodies (vehicles) given to them by Hawk, the leader of the Pretender Autobots. Then later come the more powerful Powermasters, that utilise the power of Heaven, Earth and Soul. Then combined to a human mind, this makes them super-beings! They transform to robot form with their golden bracelets. Then they actually form the engine, or main part of the robot, as they combine to the vehicles. Of course, the evil Decepticons have their own batch too... lol. And I do notice that they use the phrase "you animal!" a lot! How rude.. hahaha... Okla, maybe I should do a review later before confusing everyone with my tales... here are some captures I found. Later I'll post my own...

Spotlight on... Sharon Yeoh
Just thought I'd introduce and shed some spotlight on this cute local model. Yeah, most of the time the spotlight is on Amber Chia, but Sharon here is a star in her own right. First noticed her when she appeared in Hyper Tune a few years back. And she sure has made a lot of appearances in shows, launches, promotions, ads and even the Japan/Super GT. She's really natural when it comes to what she does best... modelling! There's even a billboard advertising a housing area near my house with her on it! Hahaha... Sure hope to see more of her around, cos she sure spices things up...

Okla, nothin much to post for now... gonna catch Fun with Dick and Jane tonight, yay!
