MacGyver

My goodness. I'm addicted to this show when I was really young. Damn, it hurts when I keep saying when I was young(yea yea, Heng Kai and Siew Ping, you all younger la!!! So, don't rub it in)

Played by Richard Dean Anderson, MacGyver uses all the science to get away from trouble. Actually, all of that we learned itin school. Though I'm just a bit amazed and in awe with all the application he can do within a few mintues and the pressure. Oh well, one of my memories of my childhood.

Transformers

Oh my god. Never in my life I would say this for an old cartoon which I absolutely adore and idolise when I was small, but crap, the show is good. The animation was great and the storyline was not too bad. The reviews for this so far is very good and I agree with it.

I had to download this show too because it will only be out by the end of July in the UK. THANKS A LOT UK for being one of the most developed countries in the world and you can't be the first to preview these American shows. Wankers they are. :P

The only thing which I didn't like was I wanted MORE TRANSFORMERS!!! :D That's my only complaint. I always wondered why the Decepticons get more canggih machines and the Autobots getting cars most of the time. :)

Transformers. More than it meets the eyes!

Always wanted to say that. I don't really mind watching it again in the cinema with the loud noise and all. My download copy wasn't that great.

- Update -

Right. I went to watch the advance preview of this show(Stupid UK will be showing this next week!!!). Actually, this time I get to watch everything clearly and the action. Well, so much for piracy. :)

Anyway, I went out with Brian to watch this movie. We both agreed that it is just a 'brainless' movie but it is definitely entertaining. No plot which is just Transformers. It is all about the mecha. The audience too were so excited when the robots transformed etc. Those are hardcore and at the end of the movie, there were claps.

A Michael Bay Marathon

Don't know why all the movies I'm watching today are all by Michael Bay. Hahaha. I'm quite surprised. Well, I wonder Seba will be proud of me.
  1. Transformers in the afternoon. Very good fun.
  2. The Rock. Classic military show.
  3. Pearl Harbour. I don't know what to say. Whether it's the love story or the battles. But I love the soundtrack.
Syiok!!! :D

Potter Mania

Okay la. This might sound sad that I went to the launch of the new Harry Potter book by myself but wei, I'm so bored here la!!! Not to mention, I swore that I would make it for a launch of a Harry Potter book if I'm in the UK and I did it. I would have done it back in Malaysia at 7 a.m but I don't think my Mom would be too please with me. :)

Anyway, it was pretty exciting to see many people queueing up for nearly 2 days to get a hold of a copy. I myself will be waiting for my book in the post. I have to give to my sister to read it first because she is on a busy time schedule that she has to read it first. After that, I have the whole week to read it before I head off to Norway.

I was at Borders at Oxford Circus about 1 1/2 hours early and took my time reading the old Potter books and had a nice cup of Starbucks. The atmosphere was quite wizardy even there was a painter to paint faces. Obviously, I didn't get a lighting bolt on my forehead okay. I'm NOT that crazy. And besides I'm old already(Cough all you like people!!!)


People camping.

Harry Potter.

They were the first to queue for nearly 2 days. Hardcore man.


Wand duelling. Kekeke.

Some entertainment.

Witches. Though one has the Sorting Hat.




Mad rush to get it.

From Gryffindor.

And the book itself.

After 15 minutes, the queue was still at Oxford Circus tube station. Yikes.

Happy Birthday Heng Kai

Happy Birthday Heng Kai.

It has been about 11 months I have known you. I still remember the first time speaking to you on MSN and you weren't shy at all voicing out your concerns about Imperial, what to expect and being in London. You were also bold enough to meet me in Midvalley after about a few chats. Our first encounter was really funny and my famous quote 'You look like a senior.'

So, the first term you were trying to settle in and I bet you did quite well adapting to your new environment. You loved Beit Hall which was basically across Imperial(well, my department at least) and attending your lectures at your leisure. And of course you have your Gothic roommate.

It was really sweet of you to celebrate my birthday dinner with me eventhough you were busy. I know I had a dateline the day after too. But food comes first right. ;)

Man, you look so young. Thanks again for coming.

Then, came me going over to Norway which was quite hard for me leaving a lot of things behind. At that point I regretted going to Norway. My first thought of going abroad was because I had nothing in London as most of my friends had graduated. However, you helped me through those tough times. You certainly changed my mind and attitude.

I shall pass the emo and jiwang stuff I faced when I was in Norway and came MNight which I flew back. You were amazing on stage by the way and I wouldn't missed it for the anything. I'm still pissed that I missed you after the show.

Here in Mandarin Kitchen and I won the bet. I told you I never lose a bet. I should have wagered more. :)


Anyway, during my 4 months in Norway, I managed to find a long lost little brother. Even my Norwegian friends congratulated me for finding one. To be honest, I was shocked them congratulating me and it was quite funny.

I can't put in words for how much you have helped me, Kai. You are always lost when I say thanks for helping me out in everything. And you know what. You definitely have been right and during that times, you were the older brother. :D And I also apologise for the dumb questions and the disturbance I give you all the time.

My last day for my holidays in March. I know very lame taking a picture at the Queen's Tower.

And my last day for the Easter holidays. I think that would be the best Easter break I had bunking at your place.

Once again Heng Kai, Happy 19th Birthday. I'm sure you will have a great day and sorry I can't make it back. You know I would love to be there. Well, I'm sure you would have a handful of things to do. Have fun Little Brother!

Miss Potter

Miss Beatrix Potter. Her story books are the best seller children's book of all time. Though I have to say Harry Potter might be catching up soon. The movie was okay but I expected something more special. I suppose it was based on her life story.

But she is one of the richest woman of all time during that era. She managed to buy about 4000 acres of land in Lake District and she gave it to the National Trust. This legacy helped to ensure that the beauty of the Lake District and the practice of fell farming remain uspoiled to this day. Damn powerful man. :P

Happy Birthday Siew Ping

Happy Birthday Siew Ping.

I'm really sorry that I won't be back to celebrate your birthday. Though I also fear I might get lost going to PD too. And I don't want to get sulphure poisoning too. :P

Anyway, the first time I heard(more like met) you was on Skype and you were surely very scary with your laughter. I still get goosebumps when I hear that sound of malice. And sorry la ah, I still haven't gotten you a doughnut yet but you la never around one. :)

You have been an exceptional friend. You always picked me up when I'm down and also made me even crazier when I was in Norway. I don't think I have met a person like you who laughs all the time at the smallest things. You are definitely one of the most cheerful person ever. Though you are cruel forcing me to sing to entertain you. But since this is your day should I sing you 'You are 20 going on 21" ah?

However, I don't think I'm going to tell about the experience being 21 and I'm NOT old okay. :) But yes I do admit I don't think right at times. Though I'm very thankful and may be not influencing me going into photography and becoming your alarm clock, it certainly did me some good. :D

Once again Happy 21st Birthday and hope you have a great day.

Pictures of the Birthday Girl. :)



Here is my gift to you. :P

Two Days of Fun

The day before I supposedly fly off to Norway turned out pretty good. 10 of us(Me, Shea Maine, Winston, Joanne, Wei Shen, Yeo Soon, Edwin, Jenn Shuinn, Jeffery and a new found friend Sandy) met up at Four Seasons though we had a mini request for no Chinese.

Me, Shea Maine, Winston and Joanne.

Jeffery, Wei Shen, Yeo Soon, Edwin and Jenn Shuinn.

We outside the restaurant getting ready to makan duckie duck. And ah! My new found friend, Sandy.

Come to think of it this was a gathering for all Concordians. The seniors, Shea Maine, Me, Jenn Shuinn and Edwin. And with the juniors, Wei Shen, Winston, Joanne and Jeffery. Talking all about the good old times.

Next, we went to Fredv for a drink near Tottenham Court Road. I had a margarita for the first time and it was yummy.

CHEERS! We had a variety. Seven Heavens, Margaritas, Planters Punchs and Mojitos.

Sandy and I. So poser la she. :P

Shea Maine, Edwin and Jeffery. Actually, they came from the hospital. To be doctors lah. :)

So, today, the 5 of us went for Korean. However, it was closed for something. Aihhhhhhhh. I was so looking forward to eating Korean. But we made our way to New Oxford Street and stumbled at this Chinese Restaurant serving Siew Long Pau. Yummmmmmy. :)

This was after lunch after we were fueled up. I don't know why I looked so happy. Lol.


And Wei Shen and I. Seriously. I don't really know why we look so happy. Must be the sugar rush. :)

All in all, the past 2 days has been quite fun and at least I had something to do too. Thanks guys.

Norway, We Have A Problem!

I think I just killed my summer. I just found out that I needed a work permit to go to Norway and now I have been delayed to go there. Therefore, why I said I killed my summer? I could have gone back to Malaysia and spent at least 4-5 weeks just being with my parents, eating away all my goodie food before I suffer.

Aihhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I feel so depressed now and I need a good eat out to make me happy again I hope. Just the thought of me not going back to Malaysia this summer is driving me a bit over the mountain. I just wasted about 4 weeks doing nothing other than finding a summer job.

I want to talk to someone lar.
