Another Quick Post

Okay, I was going to post something longer, but I gotta rush for now...

SNSD's "Tell Me" on TV Today!
So Nyeo Shi Dae's excellent performance of Wonder Girls' "Tell Me" is going to be on Astro's KBS World channel today at 2.50pm... I was going to post this sooner, but you know, Streamyx has been like crap up to now... Anyways, don't miss it for the world! You'll regret if you did... There are also 2 other performances from the talented girls, and also performances from the Wonder Girls, who also perform SNSD's "Kissing You". And YuRi's Yul-Rap is worth watching alone... Not enough time to explain to you guys why the 2 bands switched songs, but yeah, they kept the best for last, as SNSD's "Tell Me" is near the end of the show. This is the last repeat of this Music Bank performance, so go to your TV sets like, NOW!





Laters peeps,

PEACE and God Bless,

Nasty StartWhat a nasty start for the week. Monday... loads of work waiting for me in the office, I decided to leave early to get some stuff done. But as soon as I reached the Penang Bridge on the LDP, it was obvious the jam wasn't the usual. This was heavier... the volume of cars were eerily high. Then came the nightmare as I entered Federal Highway... the radio frequency was breaking up. I thought this was normal as I didn't have an antennae. Then I switched off the lights, resulting in the radio becoming clear again. I noticed a lit-up warning of the battery sign. Bad news I tell you. switched off the radio, and tried to speedily get to work so I could call the mechanic. But then there was the idiotic freaky and totally unecessary jam caused by roadblocks. Block Anwar from getting to parliament they say? I for one, DO NOT CARE, but please, PLEASE, don't give us this shit. WTF with the stupid jam? And I was early. I was on the highway at 7am. I can't imagine what mess that people coming later had to face. All this because they were scared of one man coming to KL? One does not make the people mad. Really. We are already going through such trying times, we do not need this rubbish. Anyways, to all those who blasted their horn and gave me dirty looks while I was in the emergency lane, I just wanna say SCREW YOU. Just because you want to use the emergency lane to cut queues doesn't give you the right to horn at a stalled car. I curse that the same thing happens to you, 3 times over! Padan muka...


Mr.Chandra here braced an hour-long jam to get to my car~


Imagine how you'd feel if you're in this situation with the massive jam, stalled car and idiotic attitude of some people


Reached the workshop at around 10.30, a full 3 and a half hours later...

Oh, btw, turned out to be a broken alternator belt.
But it costed me a day of work... bummer... :(

Help Me to Vote Please
I dunno how to stress this out more. I really want to attend the MTV Asia Awards to see the girls (even though there is yet to be any confirmation of them coming), but I can't secure a ticket, as it is by invitation only. But I'm not putting my personal gains before the real concern. I want SNSD to win. I honestly do. to have them win an award for Best Korean Artiste on the same day their 1st single celebrates it's first anniversary is the best possible gift for them. But what we need now are votes. Votes, votes and more votes. I have tried my level best, voting day in and day out, at work and at home. Asking friends, colleagues and family to help. And all the folks at Soshified (an international SNSD fan community) are also helping out with a fanbase from all over the world (USA, UK, Southeast Asia, Europe, you name it) voting in in helping them. So if you have the time, please help to vote. All it takes is a few clicks. At that would make me really happy... (then again, meeting the girls in person, especially TaeYeon and YuRi, would definitely be the best birthday gift ever!)

There's only 5 days left to the July 25th deadline for voting... so I just wanna go all out and if we can't help them win, I want to rest assured that I have tried my very best. Help bring Girls' Generation to Malaysia~ xD

I want to write more, but I don't wanna clutter too much. Laters then,

PEACE and God Bless,

Reunions, SNSD & McD

Reunions, SNSD & McD
What a week it was... rush as ever... in between the stresses of work I had to go through numerous illnesses and thankfully it's much better now. I had to miss Angi's wedding, which made me really sad... time passes so fast and now the girl I used to have a crush on back in college is married... She looked gorgeous on her wedding btw (saw her on Koshin's phone). Anyways, had to miss the Super GT too. Bummer... And btw work wasn't too good either, having stuff not being in time ever since we shifted to the new place...

Mini Reunion
Had a lil reunion with a few old buddies which I've not met in ages... especially Koshin, Sharon and Pei Woen (they're all pretty as ever!)... it felt like I've not seen them forever! Quite a number of us turned-up, CK and Alex were in KL earlier but I didn't know. We were all in Times Square earlier... lol. I went to XL Shop to meet Shirley. It's been a month, I sure missed her. Did some preorders with her and collected my Revoltech Lazengann.



Went to makan at Saisaki (CK organized, but keep saying it's Koshin...). Had a lot of chit-chat (and food of course) and after that, we even crossed to Pavilion for yumcha... Was fun, but didn't get to chat much with some of them, like Pei Woen. Hopefully there'll be more meets like this soon... (will post up photos later)









Help Vote SNSD Please!!!



The MTV Asia Awards are coming to Malaysia and So Nyeo Shi Dae (aka 소녀시대 or Girls' Generation) is nominated for best Korean act. Voting is done online, so one can help vote just by clicking the "vote" button. You can do so once every 10 minutes. I have been doing my best and I can see them steadily going up. They were tops once but the boyband lovers voted crazily, bringing them down. Now it's up to us to help them gain back the No.1 spot. We have till the 25th of July to vote! Well, you guys can vote for whoever you guys fancy, but for the "Best Korean Act", I hope you guys can help, cos I heard that the winning band *WILL* come to Genting for the awards, and I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really want them to COME! I mean, who wouldn't want their favourite band down in Malaysia? Some more, it falls on the 2nd of August, which coincides with the band's 1st anniversary of their debut single. So please, please help me to help them have a memorable anniversary. And it also falls roughly a week before my birthday too, so it'll be like an early present for me as well... heehee... So let's bring SNSD down to Genting yo!

SO NYEO SHI DAE Hwaiting!!!

Baby Baby!
Speaking of SNSD, I was about to order this CD from online, as the one selling at Rock Corner was RM89.90 (Korea Version). Then I was walking around Amcorp Mall on my way back from work, and came across this CD (it's the CD+DVD Hong Kong version) selling at RM53.90 at Victoria. Woohoo! Oh, in case you were living under a rock and had no idea, Baby Baby is the repackaged version of SNSD's self-titled album, which has 3 extra tracks including an Old Skool Rock version of "Kissing You" and a new track "Let's Go So Nyeo Shi Dae!!". A lotta people would say repackages are not worth it, but man... how can I resist SNSD? The Hong Kong version comes with annoying Chinese text on the cover (sorry, but I'm all out for Korean authenticity when it comes to Korean albums) and worse, the DVD comes with Chinese karaoke translations... *rolls eyes*







McD's New Additions
McDonald's recently added a couple of new items to their menu. Me and Iwene were late at work one day, so we decided to try the delivery. I was having problems with my voice and sounded really bad on the phone. The girl on the other line kept asking me to repeat as she couldn't understand what I was saying. But anyways the food came... The Double Spicy Chicken McDeluxe was a mere shadow of it's advertised self.




The other item was their Spanish Onion Rings... pretty okay, I'd say something in between A&W's and Burger King's. A&W's is still the yummiest, this would've been nicer if hot (the burger too).




I guess if one eats in the restaurant, these two items would be much nicer (they were nice even in their soggy state though).

Okla, that's all for now... might post more later...

PEACE and God Bless,

I'm Back!

I'm Back!
Yeah... fear me cos I have returned to blog. Yeah, just as this place was gaining cobwebs and halfway thru it's fossilization stage, I have once again re-emerged to reignite it. Haha...

Fuel Craze...
All the hype bout the recent fuel increase... I mean, we saw it coming, why all the fuss now? Oil prices have been escalating in all over the world in recent times, what makes you think we're immune to that? It's a matter of time before the government loses it's ability to subsidise fuel. Putting the amount saved on other necessities like food is a move that has been long overdue. On the astronomical price of petroleum, well... it's gonna get worse in August and also next year, so we'd better be prepared.

HAH... TU LAH... KAN DULU ENVIRONMENTALIS DAH CAKAP,
GUNELAH HYBRID, GUNELAH ELEKTRIK... LEBIH BAGUS UNTUK ALAM,
TAK NAK DENGAR... HAH... TULAH...
Countries like Singapore have subsidies for hybrids (Prius, Insight, Civic etc) and electric vehicles. It's high time we follow suit. It'll also save environment in the long run. For petrol-based vehicles, cars like smart have low fuel consumption and should help ease out woes. Oh, and our Savvy is the most economical car in the UK, that says a lot, since it beat even the Prius... And what about our local water-based cars? LMG? Well, their showroom opened recently near my place. I'll update as I catch up with them... Well, that's for those of you who are getting new rides. For now, I'll have to bear with the escalated costs... having to pay RM120+ for slightly more than 3/4 tank is not something a sane Malaysian can bear (only just found out this morning), and the only consolation I have is that my commute to the new office only consumes roughly 1/2 tank of fuel a week... heehee...



7 Days to Evangelion : 1.0
Yup, I can't believe we're only a week to the local premiere of Rebuild of Evangelion : 1.0 - You Are (Not) Alone... Yeah, quite a mouthful, I guess that's why they shortened it "Evangelion : 1.0 - You Are (Not) Alone". To watch this on the big screen would be gloriously wonderful... and I hope they bring in the other 3 movies as well... They, as in Cathay Cineplexes, as they're the only ones daring enough to bring anime to this part of the world. They wowed us one with Gonzo's Brave Story, now let's hope it's all smooth sailing for the Evangelion movie... despite the 6-month wait for the subbed version. Oh, and in case you were wondering, Rebuild is meant to be an updated remake of the Evangelion series into a movie version, with lil changes in the storyline and tweaked for easier understanding. And yeah, even those with no knowledge of what an Evangelion are able to enjoy this~


This is the Singapore poster... they got it in March!



These two screenshots show how much more detailed the new movie is...
(It's on the left, if you haven't guessed already)








Okla, that's all for now... I wanna go home...

PEACE and God Bless,
