Chapter 4.3 - Lucky day..

i always hated mondays.. mondays are the starter for more miserable days to come.. nothing good ever happened on monday(except the part that 'House' is aired on monday nite).. today was no much different.. my day was filled with classes which bore me 'half to death'.. even the weather is being mean to me today.. it was dark and gloomy the whole morning.. and it rained soon after i reach college...

apart from that.. nothing interesting happened.. the college admins were busy with some independence day celebration.. oh.. and the multicultural night thingy which is happening this Friday(22nd Aug 08).. it's my final year.. should i go? will it be fun? what's gonna happen there? sigh.. so many questions..

at least the lecturer let us off early today.. he said it's coz some of us might wanna go prepare for the independence performance.. but.. c'mon.. we all know he juz ran outta stuff to teach us.. coz we finish our tutorial like in 15mins.. i bet he wasn't expecting that we gonna complete 'em so fast... hohoho...

anyways.. i didnt wait to watch the performance.. coz i saw the sky had cleared up.. time to go jog.. haven't been able to jog for few days already now coz of the rain.. so i walked to my car with Ashwar(haha.. happy now ur name is mentioned here?).. then i noticed some kind of red paper crumble on the roadside.. it look familiar.. so i picked it up.. "ooh.. 10 bucks.. lol.. this gonna be my petrol money for the day.." Ash laughed..

guess mondays are not as bad as i think.. =D

Chapter 4.2 - Facelift

as u might hav noticed.. i just change the layout of my blog.. this is much more simpler.. which i think is more convenient to read.. i change it because i think the old layout is wasting to much space on it's side, making the box for the posts smaller..

anyways.. it's monday again.. sigh..

had to wake up early this morning.. coz i had to send my sister to 'Perhentian Duta'. she's currently on holiday rite now, so she decided to pay a visit to our parents and grannies at hometown..

her bus is schedule to depart at 9am.. so, taking morning traffic jam into consideration, we left the house before 8am.. which means, i hav to wake up by 7am.. not fun when i only able to fall asleep at 4.30am..

well, i forgot that it is school holiday season.. meaning, the road are pretty much empty.. meaning i did not hav to wake up so fudging early.. sigh.. anyways.. i reach the bus station in less then 30 mins time..

now.. my class only started at 10.35am.. so for the first time, i took my sweet time driving to college.. my odometer never went over 90km/h.. 30 mins later, i've reach my college.. still hav another hour and a half to spare.. what to do..? what to do..?

since i got so much time, i went to the lab.. got online.. check my mails and facebook and my blog.. dat's when i saw it.. "ooh, nuffnang finally add some advertisement on my blog.. yay~!". well.. i never try this sort of things before(so its a big deal to me).. i'm really looking forward to reach the targeted clicks and get paid(so please click on the advertisement everyday aite!) =D..

*looking at the time*

ok.. i still have around 30 mins to kill.. now what..?



p/s: i still hate mondays..

(Review) My first Korean Meal..

today i had my very first korean lunch. i went out wit a bunch of friends and they suggested this korean restaurant in pj. i was reluctant at first coz.. well.. as most ppl who knew me.. im not really a morning person.. lunch at 12pm is something i dont do often.. but due to certain reason *wink*, i decided to joined them..




so this place is called Restaurant Haeun Khon.. it's located at 3rd floor of Amcorp Mall..

well, at 1st look, the shop looks kinda small for its reputation.. i just googled the restaurant name just now and apparently many bloggers had review this place and i can say, most of them gave the restaurant a good rating..

the interior is kinda average.. but i think they had too many tables and chairs cramp into the shop.. so its kinda difficult for the waiter to move around to send the food to the person who sit at the inner side of the table, when the chairs are blocking the way.. but the service is pretty good i must admit.. the waiters n waitresses are very polite and uses words like 'please' and 'thank you'.. which i must say, is a quite rare sight in KL..





and then, comes the food.. the restaurant has 3 range of food to select from.. chinese, korean and japanese.. but of coz, their specialty is towards korean food. pricing seems reasonable.. ranging from Rm4++ per item to Rm18++ per set.. since this was my first time, my friends suggested that i tried the Kimchi Soup(spicy pickled vegie soup with meat) meal set.. there were 5 of us, so we ordered 3 sets of Kimchi Soup meal set, 1 set of Chicken Bulbogi(chicken with black pepper) and 1 Japanese Chicken Pizza(well.. its like a pizza with chicken and onions topping with fish flakes).

the Kimchi Soup set came with a bowl of rice, a plate of Kimchi, a plate of mixed vegie, a plate of Japanese Tofu, a bowl of Kimchi Soup(duhh~).. and 2 slices of papaya for desert..

well.. i must warn everyone, the chopstick that they give is very flat, thin and is made out of metal.. so its kinda heavy and hard to hold.. for a person who never had any problems with chopstick before, i find it very ridiculous that i had to adjust my chopstick like every 10 mins.. luckily they provide spoon as well.. the food itself for me is quite good.. again, this is because it is my 1st time.. so i have nothing to compare it with.. but since i did not find anything that i dun like about it, i guess it must be quite good.. the soup itself is kinda spicy.. me being a thai, i dun really find it is 'that' spicy as my friends claimed.. i've tried something so spicy that i dare not to touch it again before.. but this one.. i manage to finish it.. with me soaking in sweat of coz.. but that was because the store itself was quite warm(really).. the pizza was really nice.. even though im no much of a fan of fish, the fish flakes really goes well with the pizza.. the soft chicken meat, juicy onions and nice crunchy base.. i really like it.. highly recommend to everyone..

the whole meal cost us around rm18++ per person including drinks.. and its quite filling as well.. so i really think its really worth it.. highly recommended to those who wants to try out some budget + taste good korean meal.. so head down to this address to have a taste of it.. =D

(Review) Everyone, This is Dave..

last wednesday, i had the chance to catch a movie with a bunch of my friends(michael, daphne, jocelyn, yen and elvenna *hope i got the spelling right*) . the original plan was actually to attend the 2nd part of Short+Sweet Malaysia 2008 at KLPAC, but due to certain reason we decided to postponed that and go for a movie instead.. so we met up at Cineleisure Damansara.. we watched Meet Dave and here's what i got to say about it..

this is a very fun, family, relaxing, out of this world movie. i hav to admit, eddie murphie was amazing. he actually plays two roles in the movie, one as a human size robo-spaceship and the other one as the captain of the spaceship.

to make things short, a bunch of tiny humanoid alien from the planet nil, travel to earth to steal the water from the sea in order to save their own planet from destruction. travelling in 'spaceship dave', they landed at the liberty statue island and their 1st mission is to locate the sphere(a device that is sent earlier to do the 'stealing' job).

during the mission to recover the sphere, the Nilians(the aliens), discovered new things about human like feelings and emotion, which they never knew about before.. this is where the fun parts begin.

their mission to steal water became a mission to save earth when the 'evil' no.2, the 2nd in command, takes over the spaceship and throw the captain off-board. it is up to the captain and the rest of his crew to take control back of the spaceship and save earth.

overall, it really is a very enjoyable movie.. i highly recommend it to anyone who wants to laugh their socks off. i rate this movie a good 7/10.

Chapter 4.1 - Death.. The End or Is It The Beginning..?

this morning, i 'accidentally' woke up early(no really.. i dun normally wake up until 1 or 2pm).. so, while still on my bed, i sign into my msn.. a friend of mine who studied in another state was online.. so we chat and she said she's coming back to kl tonight.. so she wont be able to come online for the week.. so i was like.. "oh.. ok.. how r u coming back? bus or train?" . she replied 'bus'.. she said she has to go pack her stuff.. we said goodbye and i continue on checking my facebook(yes, im a facebook addict!) account.. then i notice another friend of mine had left a comment on my friend's photo of someone.. being myself, i like to leave silly comment on my friend's photos..

so there i was, about to post another random/silly comment.. and i noticed that the picture was tagged or rather used in a group.. the group name caught my eye and i though to myself that this must be one hell of a cruel joke to play on someone coz it read "in loving memories of...". so i click on it expecting someone to laugh or the person herself to be angry with the joke. then i realize.. its not a joke..

the person really was 'taken' from her family and friends, due to a bus accident. i was in shocked for a moment.. i was speechless.. coz as i remember, when i added this friend of mine to my friendlist, there were comments going about with her photos and stuff(i cant really remember if this was before or after the accident happened).. it never cross my mine that she was gone..

to be honest, i dont even know who she was.. we never talk or met before.. and she probably dont even know i existed.. but somewhere deep inside me, i can feel the sorrow, emptiness, pain and sadness.. like a part of me is being ripped out.. i never had anyone so close 'taken' from me before.. the closest i could remember, would be my grandfather.. but that was when i was 9.. and i hardly remember him coz back then, my family and i had already migrated to kl... so i only saw him during long school holidays..

i do remember him bringing back goodies for his grandchildren whenever we went back to visit.. my dad always tells me that he was a great man.. even though he's very strict with his children, he still make sure that all his children get proper education.. and people respected him for who he is.. 1 think that i will alwiz remember about him is this saying.

"..my father rides a bicycle to travel, he made sure his children live a better life. i get to ride a motorcycle. now im making sure my children will lead a better life than me. they will drive a car.."

i guess my dad live a pretty successful life coz.. well.. he has one of the lucky to be able to get out from the village and moved to the city.. not only that he get the chance to drive a car, he now has 4 cars to drive(well, kelisa is still a car =P).. so im guessing now, since my dad's generation's transportation method is a car, i guess my generation had to do better.. a train? airplane maybe? i wonder if lrt and airasia count?

anyways.. back to my friend's friend story.. she was suppose to reach kl sometime in the evening, and my friend planned to take her for dinner later that night.. when her bus was late than expected arrival time, my friend made a call to his house asking if the girl had called home since he cant get through her line.. never pass through his mind that she was already gone. to think that she could be at the wrong bus, the wrong seat at the wrong time.. she was among the few who were 'taken' that evening..

i do believe that everything that happens always hav a reason.. mayb she's off for a greater purpose.. mayb her end is a new beginning for something new.. something beautiful.. perhaps..
*btw, i always hav this believe that whenever someone died, another was born at the same time.. just imagine if babies were born but no one dies.. earth would be a very busy place..*

after reading most of the comments and browse through the links in the group, i remembered that my friend(who i mention earlier) is boarding a bus this evening.. so i quickly left a message for my friend to take care of herself and be extra careful.. i know that accidents involving bus are quite rare, but i cant help but being worry for her safety.. all i can do for now is jz pray for her safe travel and wish nothing went wrong through out the whole time while she's on the bus..
