620. Star Struck: It's one of those weekends.....
......where the planets, moons and stars are again aligned and everything just falls into place. It starts off on Thursday afternoon where Yippie, Chong, Hooi & I decide to head down to KL for a getaway since Sat is a public holiday. Yippie wanted to check out a few cars he's thinking of getting so we all tagged along. Of course, the reason for me to make the trip was to actually meet Nikki's cousin. Chuang & Nikki invited me for a gala premier of her cousin's movie in Pavillion KL and said she'll even introduce me to her. I figured, sure, why not. Never been to a movie premier before. :) I thought her cousin was probably some extra in the show or something. Only later did I realise her cousin was actually Lin Chi-Ling and the movie is none other than Red Cliff, directed by John Woo! Long story short, the show was actually quite good, and having a drink with Chi-Ling after the show was awesome (with Chuang & Nikki & Yippie too of course).
She's a very friendly and easy going, not what I expected out of someone so famous. No diva attitude and very warm & polite. And to drive the point home, it was her brother's b'day, so she called and sang him a birthday song. Who would've thunk it? Never really care for actors or actresses, but I have to admit, I'm taken in by her personality. A check with Nikki confirms that it's all not a show but she's genuinely like that. Oh, smoked the shisha for the first time. Not significant, but it's a first, so worthy of mention. Anyway, it's very mild, for something that's so aromatic, I'd expect it to taste stronger.

The next day, it's lunch with Chuang, Nikki & family and Chuwy & family......as always, it's Woon Hong, party of 1. :) After lunch it's farewell and back to Penang. But before that we made a stop in Shah Alam to meet up with Tony (and also to oogle @ his new car). Then it's back to Penang. Upon reaching Penang we decided to have dinner and watch Hellboy II: The Golden Army @ QBM. The show was entertaining but just marginally so.

Tony's new ride
On Sunday, went over to Perai Megamall with Yippie to buy the Sony Playstation 3. Was contemplating to get a Blu Ray disc player anyway, so figured that with the PS3 (which is cheaper than a Blu Ray disc player), I get a Blu Ray player and a gaming console too. There are many other reasons for the decision, but suffice to say that the PS3 is far better than XBox or Wii. Along with the console, bought 2 games, the Gran Turismo 5: prologue and also Time Crisis 4. These 2 will keep me occupied for a while. Seng & Wee also came over to join in the fun. Wee brought Ian as well. Haven't seen him in a week and my he has grown.
My new source of distraction
