518. Penang Bowl

Anyone remember the place? Well, I haven't been there since high school days. After a delightful dinner by the beach with some new friends (it's always nice to meet new people, isn't it?), met up with Chris & Jeff for some bowling. I'm surprised it's still open after all these years. Then later, it's off to Momo to check out their weekly event. Well, it's confirmed! Divas are in! Even in Momo! So the 3 main clubs at UPR have divas. :P Sigh.

Chris & Jeff in action @ Penang Bowl

The amt of cobwebs shud give u an idea of the condition of Penang Bowl; @ Momo, No No!

Friday nite was dinner at How's place. As always, the meals are sumptous & the drinks & cigars even more so. But alas, I have a really really bad sorethroat. So no drinks or cigars, but I couldn't resist the Beef Jerky & See's chocolate. :P On the way back, stopped by to fill up my car at Shell, decided to get 4 more of the Ferrari cars they're selling. So now it's 5 out of 6. 1 last one to go.

The spread of drinks & cigars; Jerky & Candy

5 out of 6, 1 more to go

516. Life, O life.

Well, basically it's been a rather uneventful week. Went on Fri nite with Yippie for a drive up to Teluk Bahang dam. Then on Sun, was jolted out of bed by a call from Wee for Dim Sum @ Max Gourmet near Queensbay mall. The food is pretty good, but they have a pretty screwed up system of handling orders. You order wat u want & they serve you wat they want ;) get it? Anyway, unless u have a small group, dun go there.

Isaac & Ruyi

Seng left for Phuket @ noon, while I headed to One Stop with Chong to get some DVDs and a printer. After dat, it's off to Northern Garage to install HID lights on his car.

Later in the afternoon, it was off to Queensbay with Yippie to meet Ann & CY. Did some shopping & then it's off to Tao @ E-gate for dinner & then back to Queensbay for Spiderman 3. Ahhh, I was pretty excited to finally get to watch Spidey 3. Finally, Venom on the big screen. But alas, the show started nicely, but towards the end, they just needed it to end and towards the end, it's more like Titanic rather than a Spiderman franchise. Crap, it's suppose to be a comic adaptation, not a sappy feel good novel. Sheesh.

Promo Photos for the movie

a corny scene from the movie

On monday, after work, it was off to Ipoh to meet up with Ed & gang. Since I was promised Ngah Choi Kai, guess the trip would be worth while :)

Now, for a list of new things purchased. Got a new shaver for myself, it's Braun's Cruzer. Time to discard my old Braun as it has served me for an unbelievable 10 yrs. So far, have been really happy with the new shaver. Next, with the help of my fashion consultants (Yippie, Ann & CY), I went out & got myself a new pair of shoes & 2 shirts. Lastly, it was a 1:38th scale model of the Enzo Ferrari. Shell is offering these official Ferrari products @ only RM3.99 for every RM40 V-Power purchased.

My new shaver; My new collection :P

515. Soundtracks of my life

With all the music I've added to my posts, if ever I make a movie about my life, I have all the songs I ever need to compile the soundtrack. This song will be like the theme song, presenting, Little Wonders by Rob Thomas. These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate, time falls away, but these small hours still remain.

Rob Thomas - Little Wonders

Let it go
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours
These small hours
Still remain

Let it slide
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine,
Till you feel it all around you
And I don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by
It's the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These small hours
Still remain

All of my regret
Will wash away somehow
But I cannot forget
the way I feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Yeah, these twisted turns of fate
Times falls away
Yeah, but these small hours,
These small hours
Still remain

Yeah, They still remain
These little wonders
All these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders
Still remain

514. The Moment

The Moment - Kenny G, another soothing tune for a hectic day. It sounds a lot better on CD. As the Hokkien saying goes,"No fish, prawn oso can la!" :)

513. Back to the Kandang

Good thing I have happy songs to keep me company, like Everything by Michael Bublé.

Michael Bublé - Everything

You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And You're the perfect thing to say.

And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.

And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

[Chorus:]
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
Cause you're my everything.
yeah, yeah

So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

512. Busy busy busy

Basically been running around like crazy. Sent Ando san & Tsuiki san to the airport, was in KL to send Lily off, to celebrate Ling's b'day, went to USTC 2007 and then back to Penang. Good thing I dun have to go back to my kandang on Monday & Tuesday. Thanks to Wesak day & Labour day holidays.

KL was pretty eventful. Went shopping for a pair of jeans. The last pair of jeans I bought was probably back in college days. Anyway, figured it's about time I bought a pair that actually fits :P Dinner was at Marche Movenpick. Gotta say, it's pretty good. Then it's off to meet Boony's friends and also Ling. Then ran into Jo at Laundry. While at starbucks, an old lady came by and sold me 4 Parker pens for 250 each. I feel sorry for the lady, so I thot wat the heck. Oh wait, I left out the denomination. It's 250 sen each. For a grand total of RM10.00, I get 4 Parker pens. Of course they're genuine imitations. I thot these kinda things only happen at Gurney drive.

@ Zouk

My new pair of jeans; My new "Parker" pens

After that, it's off to Velvet. As usual, we had to que a bit. But then I suggested we try out Zouk, since there's no que there at all. So off we went. Sigh, what a let down. I remembered it was pretty packed the last time I was there. The music was good too. But alas, it was pretty empty dat nite. We sure as hell ain't gonna que up again to get into Velvet, so off we went to the Asian Heritage Row. The Loft was much better. Though by then, I'm just waiting for 3am to come so dat we can head back to the hotel.

Next we're off to the Ultimate Street Tuner's Carnical 2007 (USTC '07). Hmmmmm, all I can say is dat it shud've been free. It was crap! What a waste of RM20 and not to mention the time getting there.

RM20 ticket to the USTC '07

Worthy subjects

Interesting exhibits

Back in Penang, since it's a public holiday on the 1st of May, we decided to meet up for dinner at Bkt Tambun the nite before. It was nice to have everyone together. It's been a while since everyone met up. After that it's off to Glo to end the evening. It's pretty interesting the dancers they have there. Sigh, entertaintment has gone to the dogs. First SS, now Glo, soon, the world!!!!! *shudder*

What the!!?!?!??!!!
