“Welcome Back” Dinner with Jimbo @ Pelita, Bangsar. |
 |
Backdated post. Actual event took place on 28 December 2005.
Yeah, jimbo is back. Okay… it’s not his first day back here but well, it’s the first time he is back since he left here for aussie. I sorta miss him . Haha… yeah, my breakfast buddy. Hahaha… my very loyal and punctual breakfast buddy. Yeah, every morning we will go have breakfast at this “smelly place” café. Our favourite line, *tambah kacangz* 
Hehe… I miss the good old days. Now, breakfast is not my thing anymore. Sigh, no more breakfast buddy. Thus, I dun eat breakfast anymore. This is the first time I saw him since he has been back. Haha, busy guy!


As usual, a few ex-colleagues spend spare some time and gather around… have a nice dinner and spend some time chit chatting away. Jae Sern and Michelle came to our office coz Azli will be fetching us to Pelita. We reached there to find Wai Hing to be the first to arrive on the scene. Yeah, according to Azli and Jae Sern, it’s a rear sight. Haha.
We all sat down and ordered our food. Slowly the crowd grew. Ganesh show up, followed by May, Faizal.. then followed by the ever fashionably late Jimbo. Haha…. Yes, the host is late. Very late . I think me, Jae Sern, Michelle and Azli almost finish our food when they reach. The table was quite long thus we didn’t really have time to talk much.


When everyone is done with dinner, we had a small chat before continuing our second round at Starbucks. Azli left earlier because he didn’t want to stay out late that night. Everyone else continue and have an after dinner coffee. Beatrice was there when we reach. Apparently she just finish shopping. Yeah, sales… which explains why a lot of people didn’t show up in this gathering. Yes, can you imagine, guys telling me “ZARA Sales la. I need to go shopping.” It shocked me . Are all the guys being more metro sexual recently, or am I not in the shopping mood? 
I thought shopping was never a guys thing, but I guess I am wrong. Everyone had coffee, continue to chit chat a little until Jimbo calls an end to it. He’s gotta sleep early as he is heading over to Hong Kong to meet up his girlfriend.
P/s- The Caramel Macchiato tasted a lot better than the one in Berjaya Times Square. At least more caramel taste to it.

Yeay, it’s a long holiday. I like it. Just hope every year has this sorta long holiday. Hehehe… but not too long… I will get bored easily.
Hehe.. mum and dad left early. Yeah, they woke up, had breakfast together then they head home. Me.. haha.. as usual, I head to office to well lepak, update my blog a little. Yeah… no internet connection at home mar. Now you know why I don’t update on weekends. If I do, you obviously know where am I. 
I’ve got movie date with Brian and Gigi. Yeap, to watch “The Promise”. So right after I finish my stuff, I just walk over to klcc and look for them. Haha… I knew it… they surely at chili’s. That is the place Gigi likes to hang out. Hahaha… maybe not her favourite place but hey… most of the time we are there. No problem with that~
Both of them were there since early noon time.. hehee so yeah… I guess they really feel their free flow of drinks is value for money. Can’t imagine how long they have been there? Ermm… Gigi’s parking ticket is RM16.00, Brian’s one is RM19.00. So ya… up to your intelligence to guess how long they were hanging out in KLCC.

I love my Christmas presents! |
 |
Wow, this year I get a lot of Christmas presents. Hehe… yeah, I was shocked. Normally the Christmas presents I got are all from the “Christmas exchange gift”. This year I got present from my leng leng lpc (Eunice), Brian and Gigi. Hehe…. *muacks*

Hehe…. It’s so cute, I knew Gigi love pigs hence I bought a piggie wrapper to wrap her x’mas present. Eunice on the other hand bought the same wrapper to wrap my x’mas pressie coz she knows I love pigs. Hehe… such coincidence eh? Hehe.. I love the dollie Eunice gave me. It’s a cute piggie in bright pink baby tee. Hehe… the pig have cute red blush butt . Hahaha… *huggies lpc.* Thanks for the cute cute piggie. I’m gonna hug it to sleep… erm actually more likey “jak pin” the piggie.

Eh.. Brian got me this cool “Mr.P mobile strap”. Hehe… it looks seriously cute man . This little guy with his tiny manhood standing up. I don’t really use a mobile strap and that is one of Brian’s concern too. He worried I didn’t like the gift coz it’s not practically. Yes, it’s true I don’t use a mobile strap but hey, I’m a creative person. I modified this mobile strap to a keychain. Haha… I am a genius eh? Yes I am . I am just looking for a keychain and *walla* detach Mr. P from the strap and hook it to the key ring. *ta da* A new product is born. “Mr. P keychain”. Thanks a lot ar Brian. Loved the gift so much. P/s – I’ll try hard to be as well verse as possible.
Gigi… this cunning little girl.. Haha… she called me a day beforehand to test water . She totally caught me unaware. I was busy helping out in Eunice’s party when she called and well, I felt something funny about her questions but I didn’t put much thought to it coz I was busy. She called me and asked “Ah man ar, the character for Corpse Bride cute a not ar? I want to buy the DVD ler.” I felt funny coz I remember she saw the movie with her friends before I even saw it and she is asking me is the character’s cute? I was too busy to think further so I just answer her “Yeah, quite cute gah.” She then just say “Okay lah, I am in Sg. Wang now and I will buy the DVD now.” I just oh and hang up.

Geez… I was overwhelmed, surprise, speechless and stunt for 5 seconds when I unwrapped the gift she gave me. A set of Corpse Bride toys. Oh… how sweet. *super big muackies* for the cheeky girl. 
Thanks everyone for their sweet gifts. Hehe… I also gotta thank Maggie and Stella for sending me cute cute Christmas cards and wishes. Well… also must thanks everyone who wished me in person, SMS, emails, chats and etc. At least I know my name does pass by your mind during Christmas times. Really appreciate it.
p/s - Ah… I finally finish covering christmas. NEW YEAR~ here I come!

I for You. |

Luna Sea official site: http://www.lunasea.co.jp/
I love this song since a long long time ago. I guess it has been like 6 - 7 years back. Yeah, my friends love J-pop. And I goes like “What? What pop again?”. Now that I think back, I feel so “ulu”.
They introduce me to many songs but normally the J-Pop bands song.. I find it quite heavy and noisy.. except for this one. I have no idea why.. but when I heard this song.. I was like so shocked. I couldn’t believe it! It’s from a famous japanese rock band called Luna Sea.
Back there and then.. I never understand what it really means. But well, the tone is nice and it gives me this felt as if this song is quite a sad love song. And I recently found the translation to this song. Ah… I so love it and now each time I hear it.. I felt so touched. 
Well.. I must say, this song really gives me this motivational spirit to learn to play guitar. Yes! acoustic version. I am determined! Even if my fingers got swollen or bleeding. I will still continue. I for You!
Damn, now I am a SLAVE (yup, that’s what all LUNA SEA fans are called). No idea what it’s called.

Klismas party at Jon’s Office. |
 |
Backdated post. Actual event took place on 24 December 2005.
Woohoo… back to back Klismas party! Yawn… I woke up around 10am. I wanted to sleep a little longer but I just couldn’t do it. Don’t ask me why. I kept waking up every one hour or so. I can’t take it anymore so I decided to wake up for good. 
I then lepak in my house. Watch tv, do some laundry then get ready to party again. Haha.. well, this is the first time I have this back to back party during Klismas time. Hehe… Jerry was suppose to come pick me up. Yeah… I am poor mah and can’t afford a car yet . Hehe… I ring ring him around 4 to ask what time he will be reaching. He told me he will reach around 6.30 – 7.00 pm coz everywhere is jammed.
I know I am a slow-poke especially when it comes to dressing up and make ups. What to do, I am not a pro ma. I dunno what fits me and what not. So I actually does spend a lot of time in front of the mirror. Yeah… don’t like that lar, I need to spend some precious time with my evil twin mar. It’s Christmas you know. I need to spend more time with her on big occasions like this. 
Hah… Jerry was early. He called me “Woi ah mui, I reach dy. Haha.. I’m early wor, so how?” When I told him I’m done and can leave right after I packed the presents I wanna bring along. He was rather shocked when I say I can leave . Haha… he thought I wasn’t ready and needed super long time. Phew.. lucky I called him earlier. Or else I sure die one.
We then reach Jon’s office around 7++. Not much stuff was finished prepared but Jon says his colleagues got things under control so we just sit back and relax. Jerry and the usual him started to make noise. Yeah… he keeps complaining that he’s hungry. Yes… it kinda gets on my nerves . I mean, just wait a little while, grab some chips you know… stuff yourself till you’re not that hungry and wait for dinner to be served. He refuse to eat any chips or whatsoever. The best part, he asked me to mix a vodka drink for him.
He then quietly ask me to accompany him down to KFC so he can eat something. Haha… I knew it, he’s been eyeing on the KFC since we pass by it before we went up to Jon’s place. He just gotta have it. Yeah, it’s like giving a little boy a candy bar. They will stay happy after having a candy and gives everyone a peace of mind. Before we left, Jon asked us to tapau some KFC when we head up coz he worried the food might not be enough.
When Jerry finish eating and queuing up the second time to tapau the KFC, he suddenly ask me “Why am I having KFC here when I am suppose to tapau some KFC back for Jon? I can just tapau together and eat up there right? ” Haha… good question, but hey I never understand stuff that he do most of the time. We then waited for his friend King Soon to arrive and then we all went up to Jon’s place together. 


When we reach Jon’s office for the second time, everyone’s already eating. AH… I join in the fun and munch munch munch. Everyone then rush inside Jon’s office and busy playing CS. It’s really not my thing. Yeah… I am never good with stuff that needs eye and hands coordination. I always got killed and I can’t even walk straight in the game. I will always end up brushing myself against the wall. Sigh…. Lucky Jon’s dad was there to chit chat with me and kept me accompanied while I am eating. 
I seriously am proud of myself. Why? I am never good in communicating with elderly people. Yes.. zero communication skills. I will normally end up answering “Oh… ya ya” all the time or I will be busy nodding my head. Haha… I guess it’s the magic of Christmas. For the first time, I can talk to elderly people non-stop. 
Tamy then came out and we all started a group to play “Chor Dai Dee (Big 2)”. Party rules, loser obviously gotta down some liquors. Haha… I down a cup or two. Soon, the crowd grew. There were even people playing mahjongs. Yeah… the Kung Fu Mahjong disciples.


Time flies… it’s almost 12 midnight. Everyone went down and walked towards Sunway Pyramid. We’re expecting to see fireworks but hey no fireworks. Instead, everyone is being sprayed with the party poppers sorta things and foams. Argh… I got sprayed. It’s just so sticky! Help!! Hahaha… everyone is busy running around chasing one another and looking for easy targets. IT was fun but really sticky. 




We then went up and continued partying. Jon then introduce us with this new game. A game where we have to remember everyone’s pose and after we clap our hands we gotta do someone else pose to pass the ball to them. Argh… I’m not good in explaining this in words. Come meet me and talk to me if you are really interested. *winks* 



Haha… towards the end they try to make me drink, but hey I survived! Yeay. The party ended quite late, around 3am. ME, Gigi, Jerry, Brian and King Soon then went supper at the coffee shop right behind of Jon’s office.
ME, Gigi and Brian soon decided to camp over at the Sunway Hotel that Jon has booked. Yeah… eventually he got 2 night free stay. Muahaha… none of us slept (except for JON). Hahaha.. we were all busy chit chatting. WE chat till early morning next day and we continue to eat our breakfast and everyone soon headed home separately.
Huar.. super tiring day. I can hardly think straight now. By the time I reach home, I knocked out for an hour then wake up when mum called me. Yeah, mum came down for a visit and we then headed to our new apartment and then straight to auntie’s place for Christmas dinner. Wow.. back to back to back Christmas dinner.

I guess this year’s Christmas is different and well, it’s something to remember after all.

Okay… I was tagged by BeerBrat. I told him writing with limitations of word… DEAD! yeah.. drop dead. I mention I will die another day. Well, since I will have to die, why not just die today.

The velverse style of writing:
velverse is a place where random thoughts were being expressed. Well, unfortunately not much people do understand what is being expressed. Therefore there are needs to tickle a few minds with weird questions.
1. Why is blue associated with sadness?
2. Why are humans creating robot that is similar to human to help us with our stuff when we are overpopulated?
3. Why does people have this sense of loneliness even when they are surrounded by millions of people?
4. Is it true that guys like blowjob because they can have 10 minutes of peace of mind?
5. Why are sea water salty?
6. Why only dried grapes have special name “raisin” while poor fruits like apricot, pineapple, apple or banana have none?
If only I have the power to understand and know everything and anything. That would be fun.. but then again, it’s just the silly thoughts in me.

The 3rd Generation. |
 |
 The 3rd Generation official site: http://www.the3rdgeneration.com/
Yes, I am bombarding you with overload of information and spoilers.
Aha… I saw the poster in the cinema. I was surprised to know it was a local Malaysian movie. *Dammit, being a designer myself, I was constantly being conned by the posters that was being treated 300% with photoshop enhancements*
I must admit the posters looked great and it didn’t look local at all. As a matter of fact, I somehow mistaken it as some China-made movies until I saw some familiar names like Amber Chia and Carmen Soo. But something else beats their fames that catches my attention to watch this movie. Yes, their phrase that writes, “the Chinese believes that the family fortune or the wealth of a family can never get pass the 3rd generation”.
Yeah, I have heard about that phrase for a long time. All it superstitious but hey, seriously, lots of people or at least families I know seriously didn’t manage things well when it even reaches the 2nd generation… and by the 3rd generation, they were plain broke or just ain’t that well to do anymore.
Me being as honest as possible in every way of my reviews… yes, I would even critic on Andy Lau no matter how much I adore and admire him thinks this movie have an amazing opening screen. Yes I must admit, for the first time… I seriously think someone from our local industry does put in some effort to make such a nice movie opening. The silhouette was being overlay by the batik patterns. AH… truly Malaysian! 
I hate it when there is this mixed emotion in me. I liked the colours, the Chinese believes, culture and most of all the Malacca scenery. I simply cannot tolerate the bad Chinese accent, the repeatedly use of weird camera angles and worst of all bad script. Seriously, poor sense in scripting. Nope, don’t get confuse. It has an okay storyline, but the script is bad (I’ll start complaining later on).
The 3rd Generation resolves around the Chan family and how their lives change when things are now passed on to the 3 rd generation. Yes, Chinese believes that the family fortune can never get pass the 3rd generation. Everything started when Charlie (Nicholas Teo) came back to Malaysia after studying abroad for some years. He came back together with his fiancé, a role played by our very famous local model Amber Chia. I was shocked when I heard Nicholas introducing Amber to his friends. Yeah, the way he say it, it’s simply classical. “Ngor geh yan (literally it means “my woman”)”. Yeah, it’s been some time since I last heard that. I mean I am glad they took some initiative to put in olden phrase like this. Amber was soon introduced to Nicholas’s best buddy, Seng (some mysterious guy where they never shot his face throughout the show). Seng has been working for Nicholas’s dad for quite some time.
Soon, Nicholas and Amber got married following the traditional Chinese marriage. I love how they really put details into the cultural part. And best of all, they did nicely arrange the Chinese words to flow into the scene to explain more about the Chinese culture. Why ain’t I complaining? Coz they never forget fellow banana-rians like me. They did flow insert English copy into the scene as well. 
Okay.. the spoiler part is raising when Nicholas met Carmen Soo at a night club on his bachelor’s night. Yeah, I never agreed on bachelor’s night. I mean… partying and drinking was cool. But the idea to get a girl before you end your bachelor years. That’s sad and pathetic.
Yes, as we all know, “sky up crow, all same black”. Before even the third week of their marriage, Nicholas soon get bored with his wife Amber and started to go out with Carmen Soo and very quickly, she soon became his mistress. Yes, there is where the spoilers can’t stop pouring in. Carmen and Nicholas is killing me slowly with their languange. The long winded “You……………..” “Me……….” “why not……………” and the best line “You don’t mind….. I also happy” *Oh my god!* I seriously wished the girl who sat beside me would kill me that instantly. And worst of the worst… it brag on for a long time and I lost count how many times they repeated this thing. I can hear everyone complaining in the cinema.
The part that totally kill all my brain cells was when Carmen and Nicholas sneak out and ate fried kuey teow. Nicholas told the boss “ Lou Ban (boss), chau kuey teow kah ham kah dan (fried kuey teow with additional cockles and eggs). *dang dang* The dramatic part came when Nicholas pick up a piece of egg from the plate and say “egg, you like”. I was then praying hard and hoping Carmen won’t pick up a cockle and say “cockles, you like”. *bah, I couldn’t take it anymore when she really did that* I really need to walk to the nearest toilet and smash all the mirrors. 
I fell into deep coma when Nicholas went to Carmen’s place and slept a night there. Supposedly, Carmen is staying with her aunty and uncle, so yeah they are sneaking here and there. Worst of all is when suddenly this brain melting line starts to appear out of the thin air. “You remember to “wear” it”. I was like! What did she just say? I mean… it doesn’t have to be so frank that they are doing it. The dim lights, the zoom out fading to black… I get the picture already. 
It is lucky that the show just wasn’t focusing about them all the time, but bad enough they took up quite a big part of the show. The movie also focuses around how Amber try to coup up with his husband’s behaviour and neglecting her. Nicholas’s dad story, how he is very strict with his kids, his other side of life. This part however was quite a blur vision.
Well, base on what I understand from the story, I assumed and think Seng is actually Nicholas half brother. Yup, why did I say that? Erm.. there is a scene in the show which tells how Nicholas’s dad always buy the same thing “Dau Sa Peng (Red Bean Biscuit) and visit this woman who sits on a wheelchair. He then claimed that many of his fellow friends said that Seng resembles him. So I figured he either is his son or they were trying to say he is as brave as he is, sine he helps to handle the “black” side of his business.
The movie surfacely touched the Chinese phrase part. Yup, I guess only around 20 minutes of the whole movie is used to talk about it. The wealth can’t be pass on beyond the 3rd generation. Nicholas’s two best friends (who coincidently fell in love with Nicholas’s sister) both have financial problem. Yeah, Nicholas then be the macho guy and save them.
Everything goes smooth sailing from there until the economy crisis when things gone bad. But well.. after some hardship and with Carmen constantly supporting him, everything turned out fine. Just then Carmen decides to leave Nicholas because she didn’t want anyone to suffer anymore.
Yeah… everything goes very fast after this. Yeah, Seng was jailed, Amber passed away while giving birth to a baby boy. Yeah I like how they actually tell all this without really showing it. There were writings saying the Chinese, when the baby reaches one month old, they give out red eggs. Odd numbers if they have a baby boy and even numbers if they have a baby girl. The scene shows a bowl with three red eggs and some confinement dishes.
Overall, I would say the movie didn’t really touch much about “the 3rd generation” thing. It’s more towards a tale that tells out the olden days of thinking and life. I really love the scenes and colours and the cultural stuff but the spoilers… really spoil everything.
I still think that Carmen did seriously bad in the show. I mean, despite her in all the theater, she just didn’t shine. Geeez… and I haven’t include the bad Chinese accent to that account.
Recommended only if you mute your TV while watching.

Moonlight in Tokyo. |
 |

 I wasn’t aware that Leon Lai has this new show coming until I surf around HKMDB. Hehe… yeah.. it’s my source of info what movie is up soon and from there.. I’ll search on google and learn more about the movies.
The first look at the poster… it just wasn’t that appealing. I must admit the poster on the site wasn’t appealing. But when I saw the poster in the cinema… I was like,* I must see it*. It looks funny the moment I saw Leon and Chapman holding hands dancing. Okay okay… I actually red the synopsis of this movie from the cinema’s website moments before I saw the poster. 
Guess what… haha, I guess this is the first time Brian join Gigi and me to watch a Hong Kong movie. Erm.. as far as I am concern, he never really like watching Hong Kong movies (in cinema). So yeah… Leon Lai and Chapman To, please be honoured if you somehow, accidentally, unintentionally or whatever reason lead you to this site and saw this.
Moonlight in Tokyo, a storytelling started of by showing Leon’s life. Yeah, he has this slight mental retarded problem. His parents has passed away and he is currently living with his brothers and sisters. His brothers and sisters were constantly arguing and their children were constantly crying because of his behaviour. And thus, the story begins.
*It’s quite cool how they related “The Ugly Duckling” story to Leon Lai, since he is obviously the little ugly duckling, because he is different from his other brothers and sisters. Even better, they even related this whole “duckling” thing to the swan ballet dancing.*
The movie seriously began when Chapman To was seriously in debt. He actually borrowed 1 million yen to buy some girls over to Japan to work as prostitute. The girls somehow ran away the day they touchdown. With the girl gone and a 1 million yen debt, Chapman has no choice but to be a thief.
So yeah, the world is so small, or maybe Japan isn’t that big after all, Chapman To bump into Leon Lai (who was lost in Japan and is waiting for his brothers to look for him) while he was trying to steal his wallet. Leon caught Chapman trying to steal his wallet in this hilarious way. Chapman manages to free himself from Leon and happily thinks he stole his wallet only to find out it was empty after all. Yup, Leon is stupid but not dumb after all.
Leon then bump into Chapman again when Chapman was being beaten up by his loan sharks. Apparently, Chapman was Leon’s primary school classmate. Leon then helped Chapman a lot that night. Yeah, he did hilarious stuff like singing songs and hugging *the song was simply hilarious* , borrowed Chapman money, send him back to home and paid for the doctor who came over.
Leon then stayed over at Chapman’s place until Chapman have enough money to pay him back. One day, Chapman who constantly felt Leon being annoying and stupid finally notices Leon’s potential. Yup, potential to be Japan’s top gigolo. It is said that everyone who is unhappy will soon be happy when they hugged Leon. *mmm… weird but cool*
The scene where Chapman and Leon were hugging and comparing their “duckies” sizes in the public pool was simply funny . Chapman is soon busy training Leon to be a professional gigolo. As they stayed longer together, Chapman starts to concern more about Leon.
Chapman only then knew that Leon has this habit of throwing everything he has out of the house when he is upset. His brother once thought he wanted to throw her daughter out of the house when Leon tries to carry her. Thus, his brothers abandon him in Japan alone.
The suffering for them is over, Chapman finally became one of the influential people in the triad when his loan sharks was wanted by the police (you seriously gotta watch this part yourself. *roll on the floor laughing*). Just when everything seems like going on fine, Chapman finds out that eventually Leon was not being abandoned. He actually ran away from his family. I ain’t telling a why but I can just say… it wasn’t one of those happy ending you expect from a comedy movie.
Yes, I was rather surprise how this movie was being ended. Opss… I spoil the fun.. but I just can’t zip my mouth. I was shocked, amazed and speechless when I saw the ending. I was totally amazed when I think back, no one in this movie actually knows what is Chapman’s character name. As far as I can remember, I only hear people calling him “Big Brother” (I’ll have to re-watch to confirm this because at the sites he is being noted as HOI). 
It’s a seriously out of my expectation type of comedy ending and I felt Leon really did bring to live his character. I think this character fits him perfectly. Being a little bit mentally retarded person suits him as people will tend to notice less of his sorta “wooden” acting skills. I mean, well it’s a good thing.
Some of my friends who asked me to introduce nice movies to them despite they know the fact that I love and watch almost all the movies the cinema could offer. They were shocked and hesitated when I say “Leon Lai’s movie called Moonlight in Tokyo”. I would say don’t limit yourself, open up and try something new. You never know… you will never know if you never give them a chance.

Note:
Hahaha… guess what! I was shocked , but in someway happy , but somehow speechless when I accidently found out that Leon Lai actually has the same date of birth as mine. Muahaha… . But hahaha.. but I will still stand by Andy Lau (betul kan jimbo?)
