I planned to write my blog post on the Youth'10 event here at ZhiHang's house today but the line is so lag. So, I really need to go back to Melaka to use my own computer and line.

I am at Melati Utama now as I had to return the deposits of the last apartment to all the members of the house. Almost settle everything, except another RM415 to be collected from the agent and to pay another RM200 to ZhiHang. Hopefully can settle all to give me a short term peace of mind by the morning.

Before I got to MU, I had gone to STA to take my flight ticket. LiCheng saw me and we got to Starbucks to have a drink. Chat a little about what to bring and others. Also talked about the word that described her but don't know if she really doesn't mind or not. She says she gonna blog about it and I'm looking forward to see the post.

And before I went there, I had followed my aunt to Ampang Tesco to buy some stuff, including vegetables and fruits. Benjamin even sent me to Times Square. Really thank them. Will go back to auntie's house tomorrow after everything is settled.

Quite a weird style of writing today, the sequence of the post is backwards flowing. =.= Should change style tomorrow. LOLx. For now, I want to continue the movie I had watched half way before dinner and would want to get a bath. So, good night. ^^

Woke up at 7AM in the morning before the alarm wakes me, but it is too early to get prepared for my outing to the Youth'10 at PWTC. Just browse through Facebook before I got down to bathe at about 8:30AM.

When everyone is ready, Uncle Bruno brought us all out for breakfast. After breakfast, I thought that Elvira and I were going to the place where the event took place by LRT but uncle drove us there. First time go PWTC by car. =.=

The atmosphere was quite nice, with many youngsters (and some elderly wanted to be young again. LOLx). There are so many booth there and got a lot of freebies through signing up newsletters. We stopped at the CLEO booth for almost an hour as Elvira wanted to sign up to get a goodies bag. Totally not worth the time spent. =.=

For me, it is quite a noisy event. I really like quiet place more than this crowded one. Nevertheless, I think this event is a success but it would be better if it is being held at KLCC. We got home by LRT but had our lunch at Pizza Hut after exited from PWTC.

That's all for the day and now need to plan my time for tomorrow and also Tuesday. I will also write a piece on my outing when I am back to Melaka.

I have been always opposing to subsidies, which sometimes described as a mechanism for a fair market. Sometimes, it is just not fair for us. I had always argued for it to be removed but Malaysians tend to think about money they can see.

On a verge of giving up, someone gave me hope. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Senator Datuk Seri Idris Jala had spoken about it recently and finally I can see hope for a freer and fairer market for Malaysia.


When someone with such amount of credibility spoke to fix it, it might finally make a difference. After all, this man is the CEO that saved MAS from its crisis.

Many may see subsidies as a fair thing, we pay income tax and we should be subsidised. But we should also take into account that sometimes we pay much tax that in the end benefits the rich. How much can a commoner spent on fuel as compared to those taukehs?


The minister said the subsidies in Malaysia was on a blanket basis – given to everyone regardless of income level. "For example, 70 percent of fuel subsidies go to mid- to high-income groups."

The portion we get don't justify what we pay through income tax. Not just fuel, we lost to them in the spending on tolls, foods and other stuffs. One example is the toll issue where government had to compensate the toll companies. That's our money and how often we use the highways as compared to the big bosses?


With the management of the ex-CEO of MAS at work, the government can finally start reducing the subsidies gradually without jeopardising the economy and living standards of the public.

Hopefully what they do will benefit the country. I still have faith in the governing party and let's hope their action will prevent us from bankrupt in 2019. (Ironically we wanted to be an industrialised nation by 2020. =.=)

Responding to The Malay Mail article - "Rationalising subsidies - Idris Jala reveals Malaysia's growing debt and the need to cut it".

My blog had been without a header logo since it's opening and yesterday, one e-mail made me do it. I even changed the Facebook Page primary picture to suit my new header. ^^

I got an e-mail from SHU, the university I am going to next week, informing about a blogging contest for students to share their experience. For me, it was... wow. I had planned to blog and now I might get rewarded. How cool is that? There might be some tough competition. So, to complete the black heading of the blog, I designed a cute header. I hope it's cute. =.= Hopefully I can make it interesting enough to win.

Fast forward to the night where I went out to buy backpack and some stuff to bring to UK. First, had to bring my sister to tuition center. Due to the traffic jam, I got tired and fell asleep. Too lazy to go shopping and I just slept in the car for two hours while my mom got down to buy the groceries. =.= Wasted time and effort to go out.

Meanwhile, I had also finished a movie, which I would highly recommend. "King Solomon's Mines" is a 2004 film with its lead actor, Patrick Swayze, being a tracker in Africa. The story revolves around their journey to save the lead lady's father, while hunting for the legendary treasure of King Solomon. The 3-hour movie might be quite slow pace but it's still quite a worthy one to watch, especially this is one of the last few movies by the sexiest man on Earth.



Now, I just slacking online before tomorrow's journey to KL to get my flight ticket, and maybe some outing with friends. Peace out! ^^

Finally, Buymoria had come to an end. Perhaps not? Today I had finished the two episode finale of Chuck season 3. It ended with a bang.


The finale started with Shaw not yet die after falling into the river previously and is still a CIA/RING double agent. He was even able to get Chuck, Sarah, Casey and Beckman held by the CIA.

Ellie finally got to know the truth after she saw Chuck in the CIA facility and Awesome somehow slipped his mouth telling her more. There's no one to save the 4 innocent man (and lady), no one except Morgan. He and Devon followed Ellie's direction and found Shaw. Then, Morgan and Devon just accidentally fired a missile on Shaw from Casey's car. =.=


Chuck and company finally got to expose Shaw's misdeed in front of agents in the CIA conference and held up the RING Elders. Sadly with his brain corrupted by the Intersect, Chuck was unable to flash properly and let Shaw escape.

Shaw later went to Buy More trying to coax Chuck out. Sarah took things into her own hands but Chuck appears eventually (hero always does that =.=). Without the governor that regulates the Intersect, Chuck is no match against Shaw. (Governor was created by his dad, who was killed by Shaw early in the finale.)


But, his flashback to his times with his dad, praising him to be special woke him and just outwit Shaw. The Buy More is now in safe hands, but not for long. The CIA agents was brought in undercover as police and firefighters to look for the detonator of the bomb planted by Shaw.

One found it, Morgan Grimes. =.= As usual, his clumsiness pays. He drop the detonator and blasted the whole Buy More. Coincidentally, Jeff and Lester was suggesting to Big Mike about setting the shopping on fire to save their asses.


The season ended with Stephen Bartowski's death and the blast suspect (the Jeffster) on the run. Chuck promises Ellie to stay out but it wont be over as we see Stephen reveals a message to Chuck. Maybe there will be 3 less character in the future but there is definitely a new one, Chuck's mom. She might even be his nemesis.



NBC had announced that season 4 is on the is on the way with 13 episodes plus 9 provisional episodes. This could be an interesting new season and can't wait for its release in the end of the year. Will there still be Buy More? Jeff? Lester? How would the mom fit in? Let us all wait together. ^^

Today I got my credit card, I think it is the start of my downfall, perhaps. That was what everyone was saying, the card is evil. Never mind that, the point is I get to use the card for emergency when in UK.

Tried to activate it but was unable to do so and found out hours later that I need to activate it using the card principal - my dad's phone to send out the SMS. The customer service is quite good. Well, they all are when you are still at zero-debt.

I got to pay the bill some day and I need money. The new movie featuring Michael Douglas and Shia LaBeouf certainly talks about that money stuff. Titled "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps", it is a sequel to the first "Wall Street" of 1987. Looking forward to this show which will be premiered on September 24, just about the time I am back in Malaysia. ^^


For my day, it's just another boring Loong day. I did surf Youtube and found this piece of "art". =.= A song «女人經痛時» by 魏如萱Waa, which is very very weird. Really sweat. Click on the song title to listen to it.

I slept only at 1PM today, which is more than 24 hours since I woke yesterday. Had not happen for a long long time, maybe it's just the bad luck on my side.

I was planning to sleep after my parents went for work but after seeing the Forex, I am totally speechless. Yesterday I buy GBP2750, it dropped in the morning to a more favourable rate. =.= The last time I change GBP3183, the exact same thing happen.

But it is not the same after all. After I wake up, I see the rate hovering just above yesterday's closing rate. A consolation for me but not for other who wanted to change it today.

Today, I also finished another movie because Loong, as usual, sucks. Maintenance after maintenance, even promises of compensation also need maintenance. After maintenance, I still can't get the compensation. Really fed up, not just me. Now, I just want pump my character to level 80, do the job transition mission and I will quit.

About the movie, it's quite sucks. Not totally sucks, just quite unexpected. The title is "Event Horizon" featuring the cool Laurence Fishburne. One of the reason I finished it although it's sucks. Wrote a review on this "sci-fi" horror movie, my first not-so-recommended movie. =.=

Now, after writing this, I will go screen PPS to see if there is any nice movies to watch. Peace out! ^^

This is a movie I had downloaded ages ago but only watch it as I have lesser choices. "Event Horizon" is marketed as a science fiction horror movie but for me it turned into pure fiction after the starting few minutes. You don't get to be a sci-fi by just flashing some scientific concepts and theories. =.=


The story is about a ship on a rescue mission to get another ship - the Event Horizon, which had disappear during its mission and reappear seven years later. The movie boosts quite a strong cast with its leading actor, Laurence Fishburne of the Matrix fame.


They eventually found the ship but with all its crew missing. Then, the unimagined happened and it seems the ship is a living object now. Mysterious events happen again and again and we get to see the rescue team members die one after another.



The creator of the Event Horizon also saw his wife, who is one of the missing crew, urging him to join them. The guy eventually follow them to the other dimension of the world.



In the movie, we also get to know that the Event Horizon is experimenting with the theory of bending the horizon of space and time, making travel in space faster. The ship is able to create a black hole in the movie (should be a worm hole to be scientific I think) and bring them to the other side of the universe.


The ship disappear to the other side all right, but the other side is hell. Literally hell. =.= That explains all the killings and other stuff happening on the ship, but logically how our souls travel so far after we die?

The lead man sacrifice himself to save his two crew members but in the end of the story, it might seems the horror will go on with the ship's door closing after a new rescue crew enters.

I won't say it is a bad movie but branding it as sci-fi is just ridiculous. The storyline also seems hollow. The thrilling effect is there but I think it is only worth your time if you have no other things to do. Thumbs down.

Started to monitor the currency exchange rate since the Japanese market open and felt totally freaked out. Went to bed as I going to change all my MYR to GBP. =.=

Waited for my dad to come home and we make our way out to the Public Bank branch. Withdraw all my money from the bank account and got GBP2750 to my name. At a rate of 4.8880 at 3:45PM, it was higher than the 12:30Pm rate, even more higher than the first time I change. On average, I got GBP6033 at a rate of 4.81. Better bargain than most of my comrades but a far cry from the lowest at 3.62. Now that I had change and Malaysian market close, suddenly it seems the MYR got stronger in foreign market as compare to GBP. Unlucky me?

I also read one article about ghost stories on a monthly secondary student magazine. The story describe the sighting of ghost in a prominent "red brick" college in KL. My first thought was TAR College, and I am right although the article did not mentioned the name. Ghost appearing in the toilet below a canteen, known to student as Canteen 1. Well, Canteen 1 and 2, 7 blocks of girl's hostel, 3 blocks of guy's hostel, that's for sure TARC. I heard of this before but never met one, even during my first year which I passed it everyday at 9PM. Hopefully it's a true sighting and continue to scare people. LOLx

Loong server maintenance yet again while I am on event quest. Really disappointed. But this should be the last week I on this game before my preparation to UK. Back to the game as it's back.

Loong Online really likes server maintenance, had not be able to log in for few days already. After days of English movies and series, today I changed to Chinese movies.

Firstly, I started off with "Beauty On Duty". A strong cast backed the leading duo, Sandra Ng and Charlene Choi, producing quite an entertaining movie. The storyline is similar to Sandra Bullock's "Miss Congeniality" with Charlene's character is a police undercover in a beauty pageant contest. The story follows a series of funny moments while protecting a contestant, who was a target of kidnapping. The show is quite okay.


Then, I follow up the movie-thon with "Nobody's Perfect" with the pretty Stephy Tang and Kary Ng being the lead actress. This story is about two not so friendly friend swapped their body in an unfortunate encounter while quarrel. The story is similar to many past movies such as "Just Follow Law" (Between superior and subordinate), "Freaky Friday" (Between mother and daughter) and "A Saintly Switch" (between husband and wife). They finally learn to be each others best friend and the end is quite weird. LOLx Alternating between bodies. Quite a funny show, and a very pretty Stephy. ♥


At 10PM, I went out with mommy to get my hair cut. It had been about 5 months since I seen a hairstylist or barber. The skillful newbie got me a nice cut although he constantly ask me whether it is too short. They really felt cutting off hair is a waste. As much as I want to keep my hair, I need to cut almost all of it as I am going to UK. Prepare not to cut any hair there as it might be too expensive for me. T.T

Reach home and got to bed before waking up at 8PM. Finally, Loong in back on, and there are many complaints through world chat too. Hopefully they don't server down again, or I really out of movie to watch already.

The Champions League final had come to an end earlier and what a season. At the final whistle, Inter Milan won it 2-0 to bring the cup back to the club after 45 years.


The match also saw Jose Mourinho beat the person who brought him to the coaching scene, the guy who now had to satisfy for a silver medal. Inter's season is so exceptional with Mourinho style of tactical football being played. Louis van Gaal, dubbed Mourinho's master, promotes beautiful football in winning but the Special One goes for winning and no other. But, winning is beautiful to the fans too, right?


Inter Milan is really a deserving champ, killing off English champion Chelsea at round of 16, neutralising free flowing Spanish champion Barcelona in the semis and now a perfect display against the German champion Bayern Munich. If you can beat other champions in the Big 5 league, you are really the champion of Europe. It would be godly if they had met and beat Marseille, the French champion.


Obviously the whole team is the winner but who is the biggest winner? My personal opinion would be Samuel Eto'o. He was discarded by the almost certain champion, Barcelona, at the end of last season. Coming to Inter Milan as he was unwanted at is old club, he came to just the right place, and win. Really lucky. It would be even more memorable had he score. Another would be Wesley Sneijder, dumped out by Real Madrid to make way for the new Galaticos Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema and others. Now who's the champion?


There is no loser in that match for both club came to Bernabeu chasing a treble. Wonderful season for both club and Inter just got one step further. But there's one who would be quite disappointed in my opinion, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The guy who caused Eto'o to be discarded, when he go to the champion-apparent Barcelona. Leaving a club where he is a superstar to a club poised to win the trophy, yet his old club won it the very season he left. Really felt pity for him. Maybe he is just not in Mourinho's plan.


The season ended and Mourinho is going for holiday as the FIFA World Cup is non of his business, but there are speculations that the Special One is going to Real. I hope that he will go there and win something, before going back to England and lead my favourite club Manchester United (if they are ready to leave attacking football for Mourinho's tactical football).


If Mourinho's at Real next season, i would surely support them to win the Champions League (only if their opponent is not MU). Let's move on to the World Cup and the new season ahead. ^^ Congratulations to all Internazionale Milano's fans for the treble.

Another day wasted with nothing to do. Whole day just online, sleep and play with my kittens. With nothing much to write for the day, let me introduce you all to the new members to my kitty world.



These two little kitten was born about a month ago but only get to feature in my blog today. On that night, it was windy and raining when suddenly I saw the mother carrying some thing using its mouth. First, I thought that it was a mouse but later noticed that it brought a second one in. That's when I found out it had given birth and was shifting the little ones to shelter.



After a month of just mommy's milk, now the kittens started to run around and eat human food already. The bigger size kitten is a black male one. The whole body is so dark that I can't get a clear photo of it during the night, except for it's little white patch just below it's neck. Julian say it looks like War Machine, which is quite true, and cute. ^^




The other one seems less active, but have been playing with the black guy. The multi-coloured kitten is a female and more fond to human presence from the beginning. Now, both kitty are so active that they started to roam outside the house. Really worry about them as they still can't walk properly. =.= So weak but yet so active.


Credits to the mommy as its first born had successfully survive, a good start and hope it keeps it up in the future. Let's hope those two kitten can forever be cute. =.=

Today, I came across this advertisement by Nike, which as usual, awesome. It is just full of stars, not just football ones but also Tennis' Roger Federer and Basketball's Kobe Bryant. Just looking at the huge cast excites me. For those who don't know football, you can just enjoy the action.


First, we get to see Didier Drogba running pass many players before his imminent goal was kicked out by Fabio Cannavaro. Cannavaro, already a celebrity now got even famous, with the video depicts him smiling broadly onstage.


Then, there is this second part, which is my favourite. Wayne Rooney was dribbling and his pass at the final minutes was intercepted by Frank Ribery. He then imagined his future which looks so loser and decided not to let that failure happen. He run half the field and tackled Ribery and the video follows the knighting of Sir Rooney and the booming of UK economy (as contrast to the fall earlier). Rooney hugged the Queen. LOLx Babies named after him, Federer losses a table tennis match against him. All just so funny.


The video then switch to Ronaldinho and his footwork on the pitch, transformed into an international dance step (like and imitate by fans) and also a Samba-robics exercise dance. Ordering is available through TV marketing and we get to see Ronaldinho's famous hand gesture, ringing the phone. Even Kobe Bryant does those steps when he basket a ball in a NBA match.


Following that is a passing to Christiano Ronaldo and it flashed to the future having a stadium named after him and a movie made based on his story. There is also a short Simpson part featuring Ronaldo. Back to the pitch, he was brought down in the penalty area and prepares to take a shot.


The video depicts the future of footballers which the World Cup could bring them and Nike, an excellent marketer as always, showed how their shoes can help these superstars fulfill their dreams.

Let's face it, only one will win the cup and Rooney won't be an Old Trafford groundsman if he did not win the Cup. It is also very less likely he will be knighted if he wins. Even he admit its, "Personally, playing football, I don't think you should become a "Sir", to be honest. There are other people doing things in the world who deserve it a lot more."


But, let's not forget about Devil's legend Sir Bobby Charlton, who was knighted 28 years after he help bring the Cup to England. As a supporter of England, I hope they will win the cup and let's see how it will affect the life of Sir Wayne Rooney.

One of the movie in my must-watch list is being screened just now on TV2. The national station is screening pretty much nice movies recently and today, "A Beautiful Mind" is on air.


The movie is loosely based on a real life person, Nobel Prize winner John Forbes Nash, Jr. Who? Remember when we study economics? Nash Equilibrium? Get it? Nash. He also came out with the Game Theory, which portrayed in the movie when he came out with it while his gang is courting a group of girls.


The story is on his life, mostly on his paranoid schizophrenia, where he imagines stuff that is not real. Working for the government, Russian spies and even a imaginary roommate since his university years at Princeton. A Ron Howard movie, with Russell Crowe (of "Gladiator" and "Robin Hood") being the lead man, who I can say quite a success.


The story began with his university years where he tries to come out with original materials for publication. And with success of the Game Theory that change the view in economics, the government sought his help and subsequent was visited by an government official. Then there were his life, marriage, mental rehab, lecturing and in the end as we would all know, got the prestigious Nobel Prize.


The supporting cast for this movie are heavyweights, starting with the ever-entertaining Paul Bettany - the wacky Geoffrey Chaucer in "A Knight's Tale", Silas of "The Da Vinci Code" and the lead in "Creation", Charles Darwin. Bettany is Nash's imaginary roommate that followed him for life, another great portrayal by an excellent actor.


Bettany's gorgeous wife, Jennifer Connelly, is the lead actress. The actress of "Hulk" and "Creation"'s fame portrayed Nash's wife whom he met at university. As a student who catches his lecturer's interest, they subsequently got married. Nash was quite odd while with girls, just like me, but he is luckier than me. T.T Alicia Nash had to endure his husband condition but had always stand by his side.



Ed Harris (of "The Rock") and Christopher Plummer (of erm... countless movies), the senior superstars, round out the cast with Harris portraying the government official in Nash's illusion and Plummer the doctor that helped him throughout his life.



A really good cast for a really good movie, by a really good director. What more can I say? Recommended. But be reminded that this movie is about a life of a "boring" person, and it may be quite slow pace at some part. Okay, maybe most parts, but it is really worth the time. ^^
