Reminiscing the past, Anticipating the future

i know the title sounds emo, but its really not
all i'm gonna do is juz blog bout the 2 weeks inactiveness....
LOLZzzzzzzzzzzzz

well, last 2 weeks started off again on sunday with a movie ^^
this time, this movie makes Percy Jackson look like childs play
seriously, the medusa is cooler, faster, uglier, and ya.... medusa
but effects were top notch. i actually regretted not watching in 3D
and overall, the movie is pretty awesome, and 1 of the best
greek myth kinda movie i've watched

ohoh and not forgetting Io ^^ casted by Gemma Artenton
i was like... she looks farmiliar, then after the movie only
i was like... oh ya... she was a Bond Girl in Quantum of Solace^^
and yeah... it is imba ^^ nice nice
lolz

and then on thursday, i was caught off guard with a last
minute invitation by Xin Li on msn. sianzzzz
she suddenly ask me "eh, u goin for diana's bday 2nite?"
i was like.... theres a party 2nite?
why now only u guys tell me
and after discussing with xinli and jubs about the party
whether it was really at 8.45pm, and was it really at Bangsar
Shopping Center, or was devan really having a party
for diana, until he called me then i was like... right....
so yup.... a 30 min drive down from semenyih is
no easy task... actually it is la but thats really besides the point
so yup... went down.......................... and down....................
and..... ya.....

so ya... lolz... we went to a restaurant in Bangsar Shopping Center
called Twenty One. i guess its a place where people celebrate their
21st bday? beats me =.=
so here goes the horde of not very good quality taken by my pretty
good and not very waterproof at the moment camera ^^

Our host and organizer of the event ^^

theres the bday gal with her camera... she really looks
like a showgirl advertising the camera ^^

the menu.... its heavy... very heavy... say around 3kg?


2 girls looking at the menu.... or something else?
hm.................

i guess i was juz calling it mo-ji-to
ok laura.... ok... chillll
but seriously
laura had a fren who drank too much and got drunk
and started shouting
"who took my mosquito?"
lolzzzzz

i think this was amanda's one. looks nice though ^^

Diana making her bday wish

standard protocol... lolzzz

and...... here's the bunch of them and
oh, how i miss them so much
the time we do our work together, movie together, lunch
together at fried laksa, pool sessions
great memories with all of u ^^

and.... the week went on.......

of something....

Monday, March 29, 2010

3 times the time, 3 times the action and 3 times the effect ^^

well, on a happier and more happening note,
zil, silver and i went for a spectacular
3 movie marathon..... AWESOME ^^

4.30 - Daybreakers
6.15 - Break
6.30 - How to train your Dragon 3D
8.20 - Dinner
9.30 - Alice in Wonderland 3D
11.30 - head home

it was WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!
awesome. so yea, was in mid valley till
like 11.30pm
well, all 3 shows were good but i juz love
AND I JUZ LOVE toothless ^^
he is 1 freaking awesome dragon which
is SOOOOO CUTE and SOOOOOO COOL
and SOOOOO imba O.o
i mean, his fire is like a photon
or plasma cannon
he's just too cool
even his name is super cool - night fury
and super cute - toothless
dun mind watching it again
isnt he juz cool? (now i sound like a small
girl in love with a soft toy =.=)

>.< (its ok, its for toothless ^^) i really like this part ^^
he is just too cute..... ^^

yup, and i'm in love with him
and i'll give anything to have him as a pet
oh well........ and when we were trying to get into the cinema
it was like jam pack. everyone and i mean EVERYONE
was goin watch how to train your dragon and then we
were juz jokingly shouting, oi!!! we late for
tutorial la. HAHAHAHA. for those of u who got it la
lolzzzz

well, moving on we watched daybreakers, which is a pretty
cool movie, aside from all the goriness and the twisted
minds of ppl actually embracing the idea of being
a vampire, i kind of like the idea that the cure to vampirism
is sunlight. everytime its either a serum or anti-virus
but this 1 really caught me off guard. sunlight?
actually a controlled exposure to sunlight la
but still its a pretty cool concept
never thought of it before

pretty good cast if u ask me ^^

and moving on, one of the movies that i've been waiting so long
to watch


yes.... alice in wonderland was on my
must watch movies which turned out
pretty good ^^ at least better than the animated version la
they have a good cast on this
everyone suited their roles
and i must say my favourite character now
in this movie is the cheshire cat
he is pro ^^

i'm very impressed with the lanscape design
it really is very good. and yeah, good movie over all
oh oh, and not forgetting 2 more favourites
yup, the movie will nvr be complete without them
johnny depp once again pulled it off very well. but sometimes
he mumbles too fast and speak in riddles its quite difficult
to understand. lolz. and i love the way anne hathaway
pull it off la. graceful like no ones business
and she really really portrayed the white queen very very well

haha.... so yup. next movie is clash of the titans and
prince of persia and ironman 2
wheeee~~~~~!!!!

Day Number 64

as of today, its been officially 64 days since i started
a whole new journey and probably the most
important decision i think i've made in my life
(besides deciding to give up pokemon TCG to buy my ps2)
but thats really besides the point

and the further i go, the more i think of the what ifs and what ofs
what if? or what of what if?
but thats really not the main thing i'm gonna talk about
seriously

well, since my 100% change in environment and location
not to mention the ppl around me and also
the conditions which now i have live by with
i guess i'm still holding out here... or am i?
lolz... of coz i am. i guess a part of me grew
not in size u dimwits. in person. i think?
or perhaps maybe not?
y am i conflicting myself?
of coz i did. but thats really besides the point
whats with the many points tonight?
argh... there i go straying off the main topic again

lets get it all down now shall we
for all those ppl out there who are busybody to
read through everything juz now, i'll finally reveal
my decision to change uni
what really happen was....
a VERY long story
so we shall skip that part

anyway i'm now here in a foreign place
no more usual jams in the morning, afternoon
and night. no more pyramid nearby or AC
but.... i like it here
surprising as it seems, i feel.....
serene
life here is simple. there are mountains around
foods cheap, and the nearest shopping mall
u get is tesco ^^ how cool is that

but thats all really besides the point
the point is, i finally think i'm picking things up
better and finally at my usual pace
i feel as if i finally came even with myself
and i'm not fighting with myself anymore
like some thing inside of me has stop conflicting
with each other and finally reached an agreement
i seriously have no clue on what it was
but now.... i feel.... i just feel......
yeah.... thats how i feel

and since 64 days has passed, lets
toast to another 1000 more days

Logitech Force 3D Pro - time to hit the skies

well, i finally got it.... after having to wait for almost a year now,
and wait for the price to drop, i finally got it...
the Logitech Force 3D Pro


after waiting for so long :'P
(i editted the pic myself ^^ sources from google images of coz ^^)

Features:-
  • Force feedback

    Authentic, real-time feedback responds more realistically to games that support force feedback—and provides the control you need in games that don’t. Force feedback. You can really feel it.

  • 12 programmable buttons

    Customize your settings for each game or each vehicle for maximum optimization.

  • 8-way hat switch

    Lets you navigate without moving your hand.

  • High-precision throttle

    You’ll enjoy more accuracy than you’d get with many competitive controllers.

  • Twist-handle rudder

    You turn precisely and zero in on your target with a twist of the wrist.

The real eye catcher was the force feedback. a very realistic force will actually
resist ur motion when u'r pulling the G's. the moment i used it i was like....
WOooooooooooooOOOOOOoooooow..........

and seriously, playing H.A.W.X. with a joystick is way way more fun,
not to mention the precision in handling the plane. way better then using the mouse
and really, its time to hit the skies, and good hunting XD

5-7th March - GEESM Trip, Soloman's Kane, Advertisement Filming, Kelsey's Birthday

Well, its been a good weekend if i might say so myself ^^
nothing much except some pretty cool stuff... so maybe its not really nothing after all?

okok. enuf word twisting. friday was the industrial visit to
GE Engine Service Malaysia (GEESM for short. sounds corny)
which is very very cool. sadly, we couldnt take any pictures.
i pula uploaded all the pictures from my camera, clear memory all,
charge battery, even bring extra battery pack
and then when reach there, who bring cameras? u muz leave it here

i was like...... GG.... sianz =.= (kept quiet and store the camera into the bag)
P.S. I DIDNT TAKE ANY PICTURES OK =.= if i did it'll be all over my blog d

it was cool. learnt alot on aircraft engines which come to think of it
i've a research project to do which i think i'll do thrust systems... hm....
anyway, learnt alot of cool stuff.

like, the fan blades of a turbine engine is made from titanium. and it cost USD 22,000
per fan blade. and there are 34 fan blades on 1 turbine. my fren was like
WAH... can buy myvi d. ya.... not to mention 34 myvis.

BUT... even if u manage to get ur hands on 1 u cannot sell in malaysia cuz its
no 1 - illegal
no 2 - no titanium smelting plant in malaysia so cannot resell as scrap material
no 3 - no sell back value

oh well....... and alot of other stuff among that. but i seriously wished i could have
taken pictures T_T

then saturday had dinner with stephy's family. had dinner at port village
quite nice lo. hahaha.... like seafood restaurants la ^^ lolz

sunday went watch Soloman Kane with Silver and Zilius which IMHO i not bad
nice details, nice graphics, typical storyline, imba fighter, but better than i thought
so it was pretty cool over all. i dunno the actors though O.o

but nice movie to watch for the action and stuff la ^^ its a pretty cool show after all ^^

AND THEN!!!!

question. what is daniel doin on my car and y is my face so screwed up.
very good question if i may say so myself. the answer lies within the birthday
girl. due to some technical error in her videos that she took with her friends,
they couldnt use the videos so she asked me to make for her an ad about glasses


well, according to her, thats whats gonna happen without ray-bans la. i dunno how
she gonna market it but ya ^^
(lets hope her teacher dun see this and then found out i did for her >.<)

we do look pretty retarded though ^^
(Ian: EXAGERATE DANIEL!!!! ITS ALL ABOUT EXAGERATION)

and yes.... if u cant see a car from that distance....
either u'r blind, or u really need very powerful glasses... Ray-bans ^^


but its amazing how my windshield didnt smash or hood didnt dent
i wonder how the door opened though.... hm......

but all in all, we manage to act the whole thing out in thirty minutes and i finish the
picture and timeline edit within less than two hours

didn i mention that its an assignment from her COMMERCE SOCIETY in HING HUA?
i cant believe even society has assignment and that IT IS graded. chinese schools
FTW...... i think O.o

then it was her birthday ^^ happy birthday once again lil sis. even though
ur birthday is only on 15th but i still cant imagine u driving yet though XD


so yup.... her birthday that was filled with laughter, joy, advertisements and of coz...
nasi lemak ^^ my mum's nasi lemak pawns ^^ oh well. happy birthday again ^^
