Updates

Gaaarrrgghh.... my blog is so damn dead!!! And I have so many happenings I haven't blogged about! Crap! Um.. I guess the easiest thing is to just do a brief & summarized update. I'll start from the oldest happening to the most recent. Ready? Go!

Okay, I..

..watched "Get Smart" with Marv at Cineleisure, which was a really random last minute thing. It was good. I enjoyed the laughing and the cool spy gadgets.

..watched "Hancock" with Marv, Jon T, Adrian & Christy at Mid Valley GSC. Honestly, I was disappointed. The story and especially the ending wasn't what I expected at all!

..had a small drinking session at Jon T's place after "Hancock". We had some JD, Malibu, Midori and Finland Vodka. We discovered that Malibu and Coke taste like Vanilla Coke. I'm in love!!!

..had dinner with the Tunas. It was sorta like a "farewell gathering" cause Juls was going back to Aussie that week.

..tried the new Dark Chocolate M&Ms. Awesomeness!!!!!


..saw five silver Myvis parked side-by-side, with one Sports Myvi in the middle! What a freakin' coincidence! The second from the right is mine. Lollers!

..had creme caramel made by Marv. It was the first time he tried it at home. It was goooooddd!!!!

..finished my finals and the second last semester! One more semester to go!

..helped with a surprise bday party for my Father's friend. His wife planned it for him. We had to wait a while for him to come home and were starving!


..had Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle at the above party. The trifle's made by Marv. Kudos bro!


..got a waitering job at La Casa in DPC! Steph got it too. Our shift is from 11am-3pm. Sadly we don't get lunch.

..had a farewell party for a church friend who is going to Negeri Sembilan cause of work. He's a sorta-fresh graduate but was offered to be an assistant manager for this estate in Rompin. Not bad, eh?

I guess that's the end of the list.

The cautionary whale

Marvin and I both pitched in some cash and bought 6 DVDs (buy 5, free 1) yesterday. But they were all for just RM40! Bargain man! Bargain!

And yes, I do support DVD piracy. But it depends okay. Think about it. The original ones are so pricey! So if the pirated ones are really good quality (and cheap).. why not? LOL.

So anyways, one of the DVDs that we got was Juno. We unanimously decided to watch that first. It was really well done. Kudos to the director (Jason Reitman) and especially the writer (Diablo Cody)!

I like that Juno was made to be such a sharp-tongued teen -- so cynical and full of sarcastic quips. Plus, once she'd accepted the fact that she's heavily preggers, she becomes so selamba about it. Her constant sarcasm is hilarious but you must be quick to get them.

Um.. I also like the indie-ness of this movie and the many indie-sounding songs that acompanies it. I so wanna get the soundtrack! Yes.. I will be getting the original. FYI, all my albums are original. Happy??

Juno



Juno is a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker. With the help of her hot best friend Leah, Juno finds her unborn child a "perfect" set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa, longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs.

I love photography!

Here are the photos from last Friday's morning-till-night-outing. A warning though.. this post is really long cause it's filled with the many, many photos taken throughout that whole day, most of it which I took.

Just a recap.. the places visited that day were Petaling Street, Mid Valley, Bangsar, Damansara Heights, Help University College and Sri Sinar.

Enjoy.

The end! So that's how many photos that were taken throughout the whole of last Friday. Damn alot eh?

But surprisingly my camera's battery managed to last the whole day without exhausting. I guess I made a good choice by buying this model. Sweet.
