Photos Galore!!

Photos of Vietnam. I finally managed to get the coding right. Now you can click on the image to see the larger image!

The sky on the way to Vietnam


A tribal village near Sa Pa..


..where we found the original 3 little pigs!!




The 10-hour train to Sa Pa from Hanoi


Carved watermelon


Nothing to do with Vietnam, but heck. =p


Hanoi town


A Catholic Cathedral in Hanoi


This is the one!! A herd of ducks crossing the highway!




*snores*

Cold sores. Gah..

What a week it has been.. Staying over at John's place, going to Vietnam, caroling night, the comic fiesta, where do I start?

Unfortunately I can't blog properly now. Too tired. Just wanted to post something to keep this site alive. Tomorrow I'll do it I'm sure, hopefully.

There are so many pictures I want to post up. Haha, especially the one of the herd of ducks crossing the highway at Hanoi. Such a cute sight. =)

Ii Shan brought a packet of the US Army food that his friend from the US army gave him. I thought it was so cool. I'll probably write on that later. Sigh, where are you Kee Ken??

I realized the SubangCS hamachi network is dead. I don't see anyone online lately. Guess it died while I was away. hmmm... We must revive it back people!! My aim is horridly rusty after a week without gaming.

Oh, welcome back Chuen! =) We MUST have a CS night one of these weeks!! Fix your computer Ken!! I have the DirectX installer you wanted.

Fly away!!

I just got back from kuantan. The free wireless access from my grandmother's place was short lived. I never saw that wireless connection again after the last blog update. haha!

It's always a blast to visit Teluk Cempedak beach. =)

What awesome weather it was for kite flying!!


Going...


going...


GONE!! xD

I'm an internet theif!! XD

I'm at my grandmothers place now, leeching on somebody else's unsecured wireless connection.

Buahahahahahahaha... xD

Who would have known that somebody in my grandmother's neighbourhood had a wireless router?

Wonder if it's fast enough to join the CS nights back in Subang..

Gently weeping?? That's anything but gentle.

Towards the end I was so worried that all 4 of his ukelele strings would just snap and slash him across the face. Then he'll be rolling all over the floor screaming and covering his bleeding face.

Me and my imagination.. =)


He's so skilled! Madness..

Time sure flies when you're idle and on holiday. Didn't realize my blog was left unattended for so long.

Well, I'll be going off to Kuantan from tomorrow till Thursday. My family will be there to visit my grandparents and to collect my mom's new car. With that the Honda City will be undividedly mine!! =D Buahahahahahahaha!!

Until my sister starts driving that is. Haha..

Then on Sunday I'm off to Hanoi with Xin and her uncle and aunt. Her uncle is in the travel industry, after seeing what's planned this trip should be a blast! =D Heard the weather there is awfully cold. I'm not the biggest fan of near zero temperatures. Then again it was a great excuse to go shopping for more warm clothing!! xD


I'm so happy with my new hoodie jacket!! Haha!!

I come back the day before our TRU caroling event. Sure hope I'll have the energy to drive and play guitar..

So awfully adorable!!

Guaranteed to put a smile on your face at the very least. Or in my case laugh heartily =D

I think the baby got tired of laughing after awhile. Haha!!

Photo post!!

I keep forgetting to post this up. Here we go!!

Check out John's expression in the upper left corner. Lol.. Just when everyone else was looking cool.


I thought this was a nice shot. =)


I'm in the mood for the pasta buffet at Italianis in OneUtama. =D Hehe.. Anyone care to join me?


If you want the photos, just ask me. I can't got the photos to work right. Not to mention they're a little small.

*cough cough*

I just had a quick look at the miniature mountain of textbooks that Gabriel passed down to my sis.

Gabriel.. Your handwriting is so freakishly neat and tidy.

Fantastic man...

I'm so ashamed of my handwriting.

Haha.


As my title suggests, I'm not very well at the moment. I got hit by a fever on Saturday, just when I needed to lead Sunday worship with Jennifer the very next day. What timing.. Not to mention both of us fell sick.

Thankfully now the fever is gone. The only thing that remains now is a horrid cough.

Sigh..

I'm out of the "Cap Ibu dan Anak" cough mixture.

Totally unrelated to the topic above, my beloved computer is starting to fail me. My videos now seem sluggish for some reason. How can I watch Prison Break in this state? D=

Sigh, my connection also loves to disconnect on me. Really undesirable while playing online games. I wonder if it's my router, my computer or TMNet's problem. Any IT guys out there that can help?

Cuti-cuti Malaysiaaaaaa.....

I'll be going off to Port Dickson tomorrow with my college mates!! =D I won't be back until Friday, thus The Noodle Shop will be on holiday as well.

Counter-strike nights have been going great!! =D Haha, although we are looking for someone with a good PC and a stable line to host our games. My PC can host, but unfortunately my internet line is not very stable.

Then again, it was when I fully disabled my firewall. Hmmm...

Gotta finish packing, see you all in 3 days!! =)

Coins galore!!

Crazy!! =O

Coin Super Magic - video powered by Metacafe

Let the games begin!!

A flash toy to keep you entertained. =)

Levers

For once a non-kiasu Flash toy to play with. =D I played this quite awhile back but couldn't find the time to recommend it. The game doesn't come with instructions, so I won't either. =) Just toy with it! Have a blast!!


The Machine

If only fixing a messed up computer was this cool.

The goal is simple. In a nutshell, something just went awfully wrong with your computer. Your job is to bring it back to life by solving a series of puzzles.

It was a little too short for my liking, but still enjoyable nonetheless. Gotta love that sense of accomplishment when you figure out the solution to it. =D What I liked the most about this game was the way it was presented and the atmosphere that it produced. Not to mention the eerie background sounds.. *shiver*


I spent the whole evening today bonding with my brother through the magic of video games. =) The new Justice League Heroes for the PS2 is fun!! I'm surprised it was so well made. Most games based on anything is usually sloppy and not worth playing.

We were "arguing" half the time because we were stealing each others experience points. Lol..

I remember back when I was standard 4, I told my mother "One day when Judson reaches my age, I'll play Megaman X and video games with him." =)

Haha, I just realized that the day has already come. =D Although we aren't exactly playing Megaman which I used to play when I was his age. How times have changed. =)

I will one day play video games with my children and my grandchildren! =D If I'm still capable of catching up with their "canggih" gaming technology that is. Haha!!

Tomorrow Ken and I shall distribute the Counter-Strike:Source CD! =D Let the games begin!!

Male Restroom Etiquette

Haha, what nonsense.. =D

The Sims 2 engine is just perfect for this kind of stuff. I haven't watched many machinemas before though. Any recommendations out there? =D

Batman and Wolverine!!

Two great movies in 3 days. How I love the holidays. =D

The Prestige

Brilliant. Just brilliant..

This was mind-blowingly awesome!! Definitely a must-watch before it leaves the cinema. =D All I expected was a rivalry thing between the two magicians. What a plot..

It was so hilarious that we were referring to the characters as Batman and Wolverine. =D Haha, find out who the cast are and you'll see why.


Also..


Death Note

Another really cool movie. =D It certainly exceeded my expectations since I didn't expect a movie adapted from a manga to be so good. Now I'm dying to get my hands on the manga. =D

Wish I could say more but I won't want to spoil the fun those who haven't watched. =)


And one more thing, anyone wants to join me and Kee Ken's Counter-Strike: Source games? =D We play over Hamachi which is a LAN emulator. The latest patch for the game is brilliant!! Do drop by the Cbox if you're interested. =)

Holiday bliss!!

It has BEGUN!! My finals are finally over. After all the sweat and toil, I can now have my rest.

A 3 month break sounds good anytime. =)

I'll be resuming university life by early March, I have decided to major in Electrical and Computer Systems engineering. Haha, I couldn't be more excited. Although it does sadden me knowing that my closest uni mates will be taking a different major. Next semester's gonna be so different, I just feel it.

No more singing with Kin Leong Westlife songs until the lecturer arrives.

No more Celina as my lab partner, reminding me of monthly tests and project deadlines.

No more hearing stories from Han Yee about him staying up just to watch the Arsenal match even though we have exam papers the very next day.

Sigh...

I sure hope we'll still go out for lunch together. =) Why take Mechanical Engineering? Computer systems is the FUTURE!!

I miss them already. =(

On a brighter note, we'll be taking a trip to Port Dickson a week from now. =) Our last Pulau Pangkor adventure certainly was memorable. Thankfully, beer is not cheap in PD. =D I doubt I'll be seeing its hilarious effects this time. Haha.. Not to mention it will reduce the chances of someone spilling beer all over my handphone. The stuff works on electronics too!! My phone was all befuddled for a whole day after that incident. Like when you pressed 9 it will give you 7. lol..


Like Miss Lee Ee May, I'll make a list of what I want to accomplish before my holidays end..

P.s. - Ee May!! Heard you're joining us for MPO!! yay!! =D Welcome back!!


Things to do before my holidays end :

1. Clean and redecorate my room - I'm so proud to say that I've already completed half of this. My table area is all organized and tidy now. Before this it was a just place to dump my lecture notes, text books, comic books and other junk on. Who needs a table? I study in bed anyway. =p

Well, I've decided to properly utilize the table now. Using the laptop in bed is murder for my back. I'm proud to say that I'm typing this down using my table. Haha! Hopefully this keeps up till next semester. Now all that's left is the music stuff, the bookshelf and redecorating my wall.

2. Continue guitar education - Now what everyone's having their holidays, what better time to jam together and learn? =) I plan to first finish up with the 6 lessons my previous teacher Raymond owes me. What worries me is that Jon told me he hasn't been able to contact Raymond for quite awhile. Sure hope he didn't run away or something..

3. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!! - Better start early this year. =D

4. Catching up with old schoolmates - I've missed so many gatherings and mamak sessions because of Uni. Looking forward to catch up with the Pondok Gang over a glass of glorious Milo Ais and Maggi Goreng mata kerbau. =D

5. Working - Once I get bored out of my skull I'll look for a job. Anyone care to join me? =) I was thinking of finding a part-time thing somewhere. If there's no luck I guess it'll be office boy at Dad's office again. Haha, working there last time was pretty entertaining, although pretty mundane at times. Well, we'll see. =)

6. Reading - What a joke huh? =p I'm sure Crissy will have a good laugh at this. I have 5 books waiting for me to read them on my table. I really want to read them although I would naturally gravitate towards fragging Kee Ken online rather than picking up a book. This would be a challenge..

7. EXERCISE!! - Yet another thing that has been bothering me this semester. My belly is looking more prosperous by the month. *Say it ain't so!! D= * It's about time I do something about it now that I have the time. Again, i would rather lay lifeless in bed rather than sweating it out. Another challenge..

Double Wires

I'm so sick of the Irritating Game. Like Chuen, I think I had enough. =)

So... Here's yet another Flash Game!! =D

The genius at Dofi-Blog has released yet another game. Not the most original but entertaining nonetheless. In Double Wires you manouver a stickman through obstacles by shooting rope out of his hands that stick to his surroundings. You feel like a Spiderman who just started out learning the ropes. (Pun intended)

I don't like the fact that the obstacles repeats itself after awhile, but it's still quite a challenge since the speed increases gradually.

You know the rest, I'll open a Leaderboard once I have enough scores. I got 154.03 on my first try. =) Beat that!!

The "Kiasu" is strong in this one...

My previous post was getting long, so I decided to put up a new post for the leaderboards.

LEADERBOARD

Mushikago - 38.474 seconds

Yeng - 37.247 seconds

Currynoodles - 37.237 seconds

Gabriel - 34.834 seconds

Leonard - 34.788 seconds

Chuen - 33.645 seconds

Hannah - 31.217 seconds

Simon - 31.094 seconds

Kepohgirl - 28.??? seconds

IiShan - 28.117 seconds

Jon Tan - We're still waiting.. =p

And I thought 37 seconds was awesome already.. Both the Fong siblings are dominating the scoreboard!! Not to mention Yeng beat me by 0.01 seconds. Bah!! Lol.. =D

Chuen?? Where are you? Haha...

Bah.. Multi-tasking

Here's a quick fix for all you Flash Game lovers. =D

Bah.. I was never very good at multi-tasking.

Jeu Chiant



This is one of those things in life which are harder to do than they sound. The concept is simple, on the upper portion of the screen you keep a bouncing ball from falling "Pong" style. Simple enough..

On the lower half however, you also have to balance another ball to keep it from falling. The position of your Pong bat determines the incline or slope of the lower surface.


It's harder than it sounds.. Really!

I tried to find out the meaning of Jeu Chiant in english. AltaVista's Babel Fish website translated it to "Shitting Play". (O_o) Lol!

Post all your High-Scores on the comments section!! =D I'll post a leaderboard on this page. Ignite the "KIASU"ness in you!! XD


I'll start first, So far my best is 30.393 seconds. =D Beat that!!

*Edit* - There's a button at the bottom left corner for english if you can't read French. =)


LEADERBOARD

Mushikago - 38.474 seconds

Currynoodles - 37.237 seconds

Chuen - 33.645 seconds

Gabriel - 32.??? seconds

Hannah - 31.217 seconds

Kepohgirl - 25.??? seconds

Jon Tan - Still waiting.. =p

*update* - Giler Kiasu man you all.. Haha. Even Hannah and Leisl are joining. =D

*update* - This is crazy... Just when I thought 37 seconds was fantastic already. Funny thing is, me and Ken realized that our Counter-Strike aim has become much more steady and controlled after playing this for an hour. Lol... Potential training program? =D

"oh I must muster every ounce of Kiasuness I have..." *sings*

Korean Madness..

I just HAD to post this.

Educational TV!

Who said you can't learn anything from your younger brother?

*you don't know the model in the picture*

According to him back in the day during the 1940's, this was sign language which meant "I'm gonna kill someone" used by african-american gangs in the US.

Someone's been watching Discovery Channel..

Thank goodness we live in different times, I see that sign 12 times a day at least.


Forgive the late post, I'm here to inform that The Noodle Shop will be taking a 2 week break. My finals are coming up and I won't have the time to really blog properly. However do continue visiting. =) Keep the cbox alive! It's dying a slow cruel death..


Let me end with 3 pictures..

Oh, Sony Ericsson is such fun!! =D

Insufficient Memory

A friend of mine, Leong Eng was involved in a car accident yesterday. It was quite a bad one but thankfully he's not seriously injured in any permanent way. Imagine the shock I got when I received a message saying he had several broken bones.. (O_o) Fortunately it was mistaken. Got me worried over nothing. Haha.. Do remember him in your prayers..

Get well soon Lee Leong Eng!! =)

It's great that he looks much better today. He looked awful yesterday.


Xin, Fadzil, Soo Hwa and I have been visiting him the past 2 days. Each time we went we'd bring him fruits..

But not just any fruits..

Half the fun was decorating the fruits, the other half is watching the look on his face when he sees them. =D Today we had apples, the picture above was mine. Yesterday we got him a flirtatious watermelon with a rose in the mouth. Haha!!

Pictures will come soon. This is all I got at the moment.




I think this is so awesome. =D Just got it from Subang Uptown for 10 bucks. Not to mention a laser pointer for 7 bucks and a pair of cheap (but real) boxing gloves for Tina. I just wish I could see the look on her face when she finds her new gloves in the morning. =)

Who knew RM4 could provide so much fun, howling laughter and euphoria for 4 people. Go get a helium balloon from Subang Uptown with a group of buddies, inhale and sing away! =D From our experience, get 3 balloons. 2 was just not enough.

Then again, don't do it too much. It's not exactly very healthy for you according to wikipedia. Everything in moderation. =)

Prelude

I have to much to post, so many people to thank. =)

But not today, tomorrow maybe.. Hopefully.. I won't want to take too long to thank you awesome people out there. =D

What a day it was...


On a lighter note, I dropped by at IKEA today and got myself a nice shelf to put at my room. (with my parent's birthday ang pau, Thanks mom! Thanks dad! =D) I'm gonna display my many treasures I have kept away in a shoebox somewhere and also my newest additions from Hal and Kee Ken. Hehe..

I so need to wipe my wall first, my foot prints (yes, on the wall) are starting to look obvious.. so disgusting.

Can't wait to get my room done!! XD

Talent?

"People make a mistake who think that my art has come easily to me. Nobody has devoted so much time and thought to composition as I. There is not a famous master whose music I have not studied over and over." - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

We can't deny that talent does exist. But the secret is in the hard work and effort people!! Coming from Mozart himself!! =D

Out #2!~

An quick update from Uni, since I have the time now. I totally forgot about this game.

Yes people! Out#2 is finally out! I've lost enough hair from the first Out#1. The sequel is a continuation to the previous installment. After escaping the room you travel a series of tunnels until you arrive in a mysterious complex. Your goal still remains the same, to escape.

I felt that this one isn't as hard as its predecessor. I managed to solve most of the puzzles on my own except for the last part which I needed some help. Maybe it's because some of the puzzles are somewhat similar to the first one. Again, some music theory knowledge will help with one of the puzzles. =) Fortunately the game is still forgiving to those who doesn't have any.

I've said enough. Give it a go! =D



Wow.. It just started raining cats and dogs. I usually don't like the rain, but in this haze season it's more than welcomed! =D

Acer is AWESOME!!

Welcome back Lo Poh!! XD

Bah... Blogspot doesn't allow the Marquee code.

I'm so amazed by Acer's customer service. Within 3 days my laptop was back in my hands working perfectly again. =D

I got a call from them the day after I sent it in for repairs. The lady told me the total cost of repairs and that it would take a week before I could collect it back again. Then I told her about my report that was in the laptop which I needed really urgently. She paused for awhile and told me that she'll try to put it on priority for me and that she'll give me a call if there was good news.

"I'm sure..." I told myself..

Surprisingly, she called back that very same day and told me I could pick up my laptop the next morning! =D Fantastic... I love you Acer!!



They even threw in my faulty fan for free!!





Ahh... Sweet memories.. =) Nothing beats lepaking under the pondok during recess.. Sharing mashed potatoes, keropok and Milo Ais. I miss it all..




I bought a packet just for old times sake.. =D




Matlab studies with Mr. Ganapathy.. Gah...

RM 160?!

Acer Customer Service just called in. It'll cost me 160 bucks to replace the Cooling fan and the heatsink. Gah..

I forgot to ask what the problem was though.. It slipped my mind. Guess I'll find out when I collect it from repairs.

I have a really important document inside my laptop that needs to be handed in next week. The lady on the phone told me it'll take a week to repair it. I told her about it and she said she'll try to put it on priority. Hope she does..


Flash game review time!! =D

-Red- is a fun simple game that uses simple physics and momentum. The controls are straightforward and self-explanatory, you take control of a single stationary turret and you have to defend yourself from various sized balls falling from the sky. Your shots don't "destroy" the balls but rather deflect them away.

Just a warning, it's pretty addictive.

My personal best so far is 519 seconds. I'm sure you guys can do better. =)

Go on.. Click it! =D

Oh cruel fate...

There was a horrid LOUD buzzing sound coming from my laptop fan when I came back from college today. I had no choice but to send it for repairs. Unfortunately for me my warranty was well over, it's gonna cost an arm and a some toes to get it fixed.. Not to mention a few days.

They say they'll be done with it in 3 working days. Bah.. I have a hunch that they'll take a week, more if i'm lucky. I've heard horror stories about Acer's customer service. *shudder*

Sigh.. just when I finished downloading my Prison Break last night. =(

I left it under my bed on the computer bag like I always do to finish some downloads. My maid came in my room in morning and closed the cover of the bag, resulting in my laptop overheating. I'm guessing the fan is melted out of shape or something.

It's gonna be a late night in front of the computer in my parents room. Rats! I knew I should have finished my electrical report last night.

Get well soon "Lo Poh"...

It is finished!!

Finally!! 4.4 gigabytes of "Whose line is it anyway?" is finally completed!!

Buahaahhahahahahhaha...

Call me to your house one day and I'll transfer it all to you. =)

Chair Red Bear Red

Question 1: What's worse than sitting for an Engineering Structures paper which you're not exactly prepared for first thing in the morning?


Answer : Sitting for an Enginnering Structures paper which you're not prepared for with a killer diarrhea first thing in the morning..


I was sweating my butt off fighting off the pains while trying to do the test paper. haha.. Hope it goes away soon.. =S


Chair Red Bear Red... Lol.. You're fantastic la Gabriel..

Blue

This part of the post is dedicated to Miss Daphne Lee... again!

This.. is Daphne Blue. =D

Haha, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the fender catalog. A shade of blue dedicated to Daphne, the biggest blue fan on the face of the planet.

And this is for Mr Simon Sim..



Happy Birthday punk!!~ =D May your guitar skillz bloom like crazy and may you continue to grow in the Lord!! =D

You're so gullible la.. I wish everyone was as easy to surprize. Lol!! =D

Exposure

I knew I shouldn't have listened to you Jon. =p

Kaki King


Michael Hedges


Don Ross


Listen to Don Ross first!! Haha.. I must say that he's my favourite among the 3 of them. Such skill.. It's videos like this that make you wish you learned fingerstyle. Come to think of it, I've never seen anyone play fingerstyle live locally. I hear lessons for fingerstyle guitar cost more than normal guitar lessons. Much harder to learn too...

Kaki King looks so much better and edgy without her glasses. Haha!! She's fantastic man..

Darn.. I'm out of saliva.. again.

I should have listened to the voice at the back of my head telling me not to listen to Jon.. =D

3 easy steps to feeling horridly untalented

Step 1: Search "whose line is it anyway?" in Google and go to the first link you get.

Step 2: Click on the "Whose who?" Tab and scroll down to the last photograph, guitarist Linda Taylor.

Step 3: Click on "Musical Riff" under the photograph and the feeling of being horridly untalented should sink in pretty soon.

Lol... I'd sell my toes off to play half as well as she does. See!! Hannah!! Jane!! Shanice!! Girl guitarists can blow peoples minds away too!! =D

Comeback

Good day ladies and gentlemen..

Its been awhile hasn't it? =)

Forgive the long silence in The Noodle Shop. When assignments and exams come I barely have time to check my mail, what more blog. The good news is that I'm on a study break for a week. 1 week to catch up with all my subjects and to prepare myself for my 2nd sem finals. Not to mention catch up with some sleep..

I'm updating from the computer kiosk in uni.. Currently transfering some files but it's talking forever because it's on USB 1.0. What better time to make a comeback eh? =)

Ooo.. The files are almost done.. Look forward to a truckload of Flash games reviews in the next post!! =D

Evils of BitComet

My friend has thought me the dark arts of BitComet. So now I can download my beloved Prison Break episodes by myself!~ Buahahahahaha! Haha, season 2 here I come!! =D

I've also downloaded and watched X-men 3! The way everyone was talking about it was as if every other character died in the movie. Haha, as far as I remember only 3 people died, right? It was not bad, I had expectations for the movie and they were well met. =)

I'm still annoyed that the Tokyo Drift movie I downloaded was only half the movie. Gah..

My current download project now is "Whos Line is it Anyway?". Haha! The entire season 7 of the show is a whooping 4 gigs! Had to uninstall Oblivion from my PC just to make sure I could fit the files in my hard drive when they arrive. My already limited disk space is going to suffer more with all these downloads. =D

Beef or Chicken?!

This is dedicated to Crissida "Nonsense-girl" Wong.

The question remains!!



Buahahahahahahahaha!!

Wah, Dictionary.com just revamped. So canggih now..

It is finished!!

Dear Daphne Lee,

After a sudden burst of inspriration and 40 minutes of research and development, Ju Wei and Xin² Sdn Bhd are proud to present this to you. =)

I'm pretty sure you'll love this.. =D Hehehe...





Enjoy..

Xin: Fuyoo Daphne.. Macho man..

"It is finished!!" Lol lol lol..

All roads lead to Kajang...

Mr Simon Sim, I so want to borrow The Afters. Please give it back to church right away. =p

A picture's worth a thousand words. Lets start this post with four thousand words.. =D

Dear Daphne, Xin is editing photo with photoshop as we speak. =D hehe..


The mini mountain of fries!!


Feel the fatness!!


X!!

My cousin Chi Mei invited us (Kee Ken, Chui Yeng, Tina, Judson, Xin and I) to the "We will rock you" musical at Cempaka Private School (Cheras) on Friday. Unfortunately for us, we never made it to Cempaka.. Despite having a map, we got hopelessly lost along the way and drove aimlessly for a good 2 hours. We even reached all the way to Putrajaya!! Lol.. Sesatt..

Kee Ken drew up the map to the place because his printer is not working. Upon coming home I checked the schools website and saw the map for myself. It was somewhat funny..

It seems that we didn't even arrive to the point where the map starts. *sweatt..* (see figure 1)


(Figure 1)

Lol... Guess it was because the drawn map didn't have the landmarks. Haha.. What to do. =) But not all was lost!!

Fortunately, Tina had a back-up plan. She suggested we go watch One in a Million live in Syah Alam. So we then turned back towards Syah Alam to watch One In A Million at Sri Pentas 2. Luckily for us we only missed 1 performance. =D And we got in just in time to watch Faizal's rendition of L.O.V.E.!! =D

I was totally blown away by his version of the song. Who knew that song could be sung by a guy?! Haha!! What a show!!

Not everybody liked it though. I know Leonard and Crissy didn't.. *glare..* =p

The journey to Syah Alam from Putrajaya was hilarious. No matter which direction we went, the road signs all say Kajang is in front of us. (O_o) Haha..

To end the day, we went to pig out for supper at McDonalds!!

(see pictures above)

So much fries!! Haha!! =D

What a day is was. My foot was sore from driving..

Bless the inventor of automatic transmission..

1.2 Terrabyte hard drive??!

Firefox has been crashing too often already. I just reinstalled the latest version. Hopefully it doesn't happen anymore, especially not while i'm blogging. Haih..

On the brighter side, Sean passed me his cassette adapter since he doesn't use it anymore!! =D I've been looking for this for ages.. What a bliss to enjoy 1Gb of music in the car, compared to listening to the same CD over and over again. haha! Goodbye forever CD's!!

Rudi's crazy man.. a 1.2 terrabyte hard disk.. terrabytes.. crazy..

They play Queen at KFC

Haha, they played Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody at the KFC in Jusco, Klang. Of all songs..

Hilarious..

Cosmic Funk Express!! We love you!!

Three words...

COSMIC FUNK EXPRESS!!

What a blast the Jazz Fest has been..

A few of us went over to Crissy's place last night for a surprise birthday for Hannah. Happy Birthday Hannah Banana!! =D I'm quite she was surprised.. We being the professional nonsense people we are.. =p

The look on her face was priceless..

"Oh my gosh....." Haha!~

I'll update with photo's once I get my hands on some.

We then devoured the fabulous dinner that was prepared by Crissy and Auntie Lee Ching. Oh glorious lasagna, beef pasta, giant sausages and Otai burgers.. lol.

But the fun was just beginning..

After eating our hearts out, chatting, opening presents and laughing like lunatics we proceeded to Mont' Kiara for the SUNRISE JAZZ AND RHYTHM FESTIVAL!!

(insert picture of Jazz festival here)

Haha, be patient. Pictures will come.

As always the fest was amazing, packed and crowded. It's amazing how many people you bump into at the jazz fest. You feel so happening and cultured. Haha..

Then there was them..

(insert another picture of Jazz festival here)

COSMIC FUNK EXPRESS!!

Such fantastic musicians. The guitarist Zach just blew me away with his jaw-dropping display of speed, emotion and skill. I couldn't help but laugh aloud when they played the medley of Fantasy Impromptu and the Super Mario theme song. Haha, what a show. I could have stayed there all night.. =)

Good musicians do two things. They amaze us and make us drool buckets in awe, and they also have an uncanny ability to make us feel dreadfully untalented wishing never to play our beloved instruments ever again. =D Haha.. (ref: Simon Sim)

But ultimately those two things should inspire us to practice more, develop and polish our talents and skills that God has blessed us with. These guys show you where you stand in your music and lead you towards the path of playing better, and hopefully making other people drool buckets with your mad music skillz in the near future. =D More importantly, using them for His glory..

I definitely know I need so much work. With the many talents I see every other day like Jon, Raymond and Daryl, I don't need superb fantastic demi-god guitarists like Zach to show me where I stand. There's so much room to grow.

It's a tough road, but I'm enjoying every minute of it. =)

I'm sure Simon was definitely inspired. We was doing research on jazz guitar and experimenting with new drum stuff the very next day. lol..

Why?! OH WHY???

I was halfway typing a pretty long post when suddenly..

POOF!~

Firefox suddenly crashes, taking my long update together with it..

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

The many trials us bloggers face..

Back to the drawing board..

Neon!!

It's been awhile. There's so much to do for uni.. Sigh.. No major updates, just another game recommendation to entertain the people. =)

Game of the day : Neon

I've always loved the classic Asteroids. This is how I've always dreamed Asteroids to be. Since the mouse is used to control your ship, Neon has a much faster pace compared to the traditional asteroids. It gets rather frantic at the later levels though with a dozen opponents swarming around you. I didn't like the fact that the power-ups didn't last very long. There is a good variety of opponents though, which is good. I hate those blue round ones which deflect your laser beams right back at you when their shields are on. Haha..


Hot Rocks on the other hand plays and feels more like old school asteroids. The nice addition to Hot Rocks is the arsenal of power-ups that you can get by docking to the space station. The shields in Hot Rocks reminded me of the random teleport button in the GameBoy version of Asteroids. Haha, it was always fun to escape death with the teleport. If you're lucky that is. Haha! =D

Gah, I saw the music video of Ronan Keating singing 'Iris'. Haha, so weird.

Iris shall always remind me of Simon, without fail everytime I listen to it. Lol...
