Wedding Bands

I spent almost half day at Mid Valley last Sunday finding a pair of wedding bands.

It wasn't easy. Me and Rachel scouted almost all the jewelery shops there. Going shop by shop was tiring. I loved shopping but looking thru every shops' wedding band collections were so heavy on my eyes. By evening, I barely walk.

There was quite a bit of selections but we wanted either white gold or platinum.

We then decided to get the platinum. Yet, there's platinum with gold or rose gold. I saw a really cool ring of platinum and rose gold but later on chose a platinum ring.

We booked the rings and now waiting the right time to pick it up.

Platinum could be a bit dearer but to wear it everyday forever, its all worth it. Thus, platinum is also a slightly softer than gold. Will post it once we collected it.

By the way....

We changed our dates again. Gosh. I hope we can fix this soon. Been really busy with work.

Tax Tax Tax

I guess going late still have to pay right.

I'm one of the thousands of the tax payers that loved to pay the tax "last minute". Maybe its our Malaysian culture.

A hole in the pocket... at the beginning of the month... something that's hard to swallow....

"Midly" Food Poisoning

It happened since yesterday and I'm sure I had the same food as the rest. However, I'm the only person who got the food poisoning.

"Midly food poisoning" the doctor told me earlier today.

No matter how, I'm still stuck with the crazy work schedule this week. Need to be in the office tomorrow 7 am.

Work is fun, but sucks when I'm sick.

When Client Reads Your Blog

I had a conversation about this with a blogger a few weeks back.

What if your client reads your blog? Seriously....

It's a dangerous thing. Be safe than sorry. I wouldn't bitch and talk shits about my clients here. Most of clients are really nice to me. Especially a few.

I knew a blogger who got into trouble as she rants too much about her clients. Now her blog is prohibited to close friends only to get out of troubles.

Put it this way, I had been having some issues with my clients lately and I'm quite pressured about it. I'm not mad or pissed with them, just that there's too many things at one time for me.

I know few of them could be reading this post. Please keep on reading...

I treat my clients like my friends and I had so much fun just now at the Heineken event.

Gone Liverpool Gone

Another win from Man Utd will end Liverpool's title dream. Or 3 slip ups from Man Utd will give Liverpool a fighting chance.

So what went wrong up to now for Liverpool this season?

Torres injury. Torres hasn't been fit until only lately. If he would play more matches, Liverpool might win more draw matches.

Keane factor. Robbie Keane was a darn bloody fantastic player when he was in Tottenham. However, he was off form for Liverpool and his spat with Benitez made him a bench warmer.

Management issues. Benitez delaying contract could be a factor of distraction to the manager.

Skrtel's injury. Skrtel was in form for Liverpool this season. He absent due to injury from the team was a big loss.

No matter how there's a few more matches to go and I believe in miracle, if there's any left.

You Never Walk Alone

Heineken's: A Night in Rome at Sincero Riverbank, Ipoh

Last Saturday I was in Ipoh for an event.

Heineken's A Night in Rome at Sincero Riverbank, Ipoh.

It was in Sunway City, Tambun. A short distance from the Tambun's Giant.

Went there early for the set up and so on. The area was huge!

H1

The set up and the stage for the event that day was magnificent. However, closing on the evening, the sky looked dimmed. It looked as if its going to rain. We hoped for the best.

h2

This particular backdrop was built by using the Heineken bottles. They put the lights inside to lit up the bottles. Amazing work.

h3

The evening did rain but it didn't stop the show and the crowd from pouring in. The show started late at 10.30 with opera singing followed by an amazing fashion and make up show from Redken.

The show later on continued with Joey G spinning the DJ console pumping the wild crowd.

h4

There was fireworks as well by Sincero.

h6

Me having a great time with the organizers.

h7

Me and Joey G during the party.

Spaceship ft. Goldfish & Arabyrd took over from Joey G later on, spinning the music as the crowd went wild till late! They were awe!!

There was also a lucky winner from the crowd winning a ticket to watch Uefa Champions League Final in Rome.

It was a wild wild wet evening with occasional rains. Yet, the crowd endured and everyone had a great time there.

When People Just Don't Bother

Some people just don't bother about their work sometimes.

They abused their positions a lot and to be frank, their reputation gone down to drain.

I'm not going to detail how foolish they were but I damn guarantee that I would do something nice to them.

I wonder do they still care when I forward the emails to their bosses.

Naruto 444 Spoiler (Updated with Spoiler Pictures)



Naruto and Nagato talks.
Nagato fires a black rod from his wheelchair.
Naruto takes it to his stomach.

He then sees Jiraiya's death and how Kakashi died from Nagato.

Nagato[Thoughts?]: I try to manipulate Naruto and take him back, but Naruto is resisting the black rod.

Konan: To repel Nagato's chakra at this range, what a kid.

Naruto: [I don't get what he's saying, sorry]
Naruto's eyes turn into frog + Kyuubi eyes

Naruto: I can't forgive you, I want to kill you right now!

He charges at Nagato

But he stops just before him.

Naruto: I don't know anything about you, why do you hate [Konoha]?
Talk to me!

So Nagato starts talking

I have two pain[ful events], one of them is my parents being killed

Then Nagato begins talking about his past

At the height of the Great Ninja War, we had been too late at escaping, so we were hiding at our family's house.
Two ninjas came into our house.

They were searching for some food

Nagato's parents: Nagato, you need to hide.
Then they charge at the two ninja

The ninja: They're enemies.
They kill his parents instantly.
The ninja: There's one more around here.
The ninja search for food
They look at the corpses
The ninja: They were just civilians, huh. Why would civilians, in the middle of a battle... We're sorry, kid

At that moment, lighting strikes outside, and what Nagato sees, is a Konoha headband

Nagato: UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAH

And then, the Rinnengan is activated

Standard Chartered Marathon Run : I'll Be There!

After my first attempt for 10km run was successful few months ago, I am no longer in shape (even though I never did in shape) to go for another one.

Many might not believe at first but when I completed the race, only then my friends knew that I'm serious about it. Even though it was 2 hours plus, but I'm proud of it.

Running never been my cup of tea. However, the satisfaction and joy after the run was somehow amazing. I had a huge body ache for 3 consecutive days. It was like the best gym workout ever.

The best part was, we never trained for the 10km run. We just went there and run!

I will be joining Standard Chartered Marathon Run but not for the 42km or the 21km. I'll running for 10km again. Before that I might join other marathons for fun. There's Malakoff and New Balance run before then.

Here's the thing...

If a fat guy like me can complete the race, why can't you?

When A Robbery Is Just Few Doors Away

Many might find me irritating lately for posting so many related stories about crimes in Malaysia. Well, to be frank I would rather not to talk about it.

However, one shall not run away from the fact.

Just as I posted the robbery video, there was a robbery in my neighbourhood few days ago. Somehow the talks about having the neighbourhood gated came to a halt. I'll make a few calls to the committee members tomorrow for updates.

The thing about this is its a few doors away from my house. It happened in the afternoon. I was totally speechless when I heard about it.

The lack of police force in my area is not going to help things around. I can't believe that our lovely country turned to a crime frenzy place. It wasn't like this 10-15 years ago.

I had become more careful when traveling around especially at night.

Am I too cautious or over worried?

Maybe, but when a crime happened a few doors away, I have the every right to be afraid and cautious.

I just wonder...

When our homes are not safe, where else can we go?

Knowing Review

The review of this movie came really late. Reason being I watched other movies before this.

Many mixed reviews from friends before I watched this. In fact, few of them had already spoiled the movie nicely for me. Damn! It's either you love or hate this movie. There's no in between.

Any how, I placed my bet that Nicholas Cage not going to screw this up. I wasn't wrong indeed.

The movie started 50 years ago where a little girl placed a sheet of numbers for a time capsule.
The numbers then picked by Cage's son in the present time.

The mystery started when Cage realized that the numbers represents disasters. Plot deepens when he realized that there's a few disasters yet to come.

I'm going to put it nicely here. No more spoilers already.

I must say I loved thrillers like this. I loved how the plot goes and I loved the ending.

For non science fiction lovers, they would find this movie ridiculous. For me, I think there's possibilities of such events.

The ending part's special effects were quite outstanding.

After watching the movie, Rachel felt that it was quite scary. Indeed life is so short but have to endure so much for the sake of life.

I enjoyed the movie very much and do recommend this movie for those yet to watch this movie.

I fall into the loved this movie category.

Robbery at Taman Maluri Video



This could be happening to you.

A girl friend of mine got robbed in a gated community in TTDI few weeks ago. Same goes to another girl friend in Cheras.

The tactic was either you enter or leave your car. They will follow you, and hit on your face.

Beware, preventive measures such as looking around and make sure the gates are closed all the times. Nobody can help you if there's 3-4 robbers with parang.

Fast & Furious 4 Review

I would still recall the first Fast & Furious when I was in Australia. My Aussies mates back then were not impressed by Japan Imports until they blew away watching Fast & Furious. For the first movie, its all about "NOS". The introduction of Vin Diesel in the movie made him the star today. So did the Korean star in the movie.

After years passed by, now we have Fast & Furious 4 uniting both actors. I thought this will be the same. I was quite wrong.

The Part 4 was quite impressive actually. Equally good with the first or much better. Why is that? More racing. More cars. More babes.

Its no secret if you want to watch this movie, you go for the car and babes (and the dudes if you are a chick). If not why bother watching this movie?

This movie relates a lot of revenge and friendship. Lots of usage of GPS in racing this time around. Both characters develop to a next level where sequel can be always there. There's no lost love in this movie, more cars and effects are seen in this movie.

A must watch movie for Fast & Furious fans.

Bleach 353 Spoiler with picture


353 The Ash

Ichigo has been struck down

Ori: "Kurosaki! Kurosaki!!"
(note: originally it's saying "classmate Kurosaki", but it sounds weird in english...so let's stick with Kurosaki)

The look of Ulquiorra staring at him.

Ulqui[Even though the arms and legs are endlessly regenerating, they are but empty shells. Has that punk already regenerated his inner organs that were destroyed? Just now, if that blow had not suceeded...the one that is laying there dying would've been me]
(note: seems to be... ichigo thinking about Ulqui?)

A light has descended upon Ichigo's body?
Ishida "The hole...it has been blocked..."
Ulqui: "Hyper regeneration!"
Ori: "Kuro...saki?"

Ichigo stands up without hesitation
"Me? Is there supposed to be a hole in my chest?"
Ori: "Kurosaki..."
Ichigo: "Inoue...are you okay?"
Ori is smiling slightly
Ichigo notices Ishida's state/appearance
Ishida "So you've finally awaken?"

Ulqui: "Such a stubborn punk!"
Ulqui pulls out Ichigo's blade from Ishida's torso that was impaled earlier
He throws the blade to Ichigo
Ulqui: "Holding it, let's decide this fight."
Ichigo: "Was I the one who impaled Ishida?"
Ulqui: "So you know eh..."
Ichigo: "Was the one who hacked away your left arm and leg also me?"
Ichigo: "Then, you'll come and cut off my left arm and leg!"
Ori: "Kurosaki!"
Ichigo: "Until awhile back, the one that was fighting you was a "hollowed" me. That isn't me, if we continue to fight in this manner... isn't it a disadvantage for you...isn't it!"
Ishida "Kurosaki! Do you know wtf you're talking about!"
Ulqui: "Alright, if that is what you wish..then let's do this your way."

Ulqui spreads his wing: "So it has come to this...let's slaughter each other!"
Ichigo is astonished.
Ulqui : “You better hurry and start.. I don’t even have the energy left to walk…If I can not strike this last blow, there will never be a victor.”
Ichigo: “…I refuse”
Ulqui: “What did you say!”
Ichigo: “I said I refuse! This…method of victory…where does it exist!”

Ulqui is shocked
Ulqui: “Tch! Even till the end…you are a unpredictable punk…”
Ulqui looks at Ori
Ulqui: “It was hard but I finally managed to spawn an interest towards you people. But now…at this moment.”
Ori has a puzzled expression…
Ulqui: “Are you afraid of me…woman?”
Ori with a face full of sadness “I am not afraid of you”
Ulqui: “Oh…”
The instant Ori decides to touch him…
Ulquiorra has disintegrated into sand and disappeared…


It would be nice if they show Aizen fight next week.

Transformers 2 Spoiler! Michael Bay Killed Another Autobot in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen!

Michael Bay could be the most outspoken director I've seen in times.

He did it again. This time around, he revealed the death of another Autobot! Damn!

'I didn't like Arcee, so I kill her,' director says of short-lived pink Autobot.- Michael Bay


Damn! Out of the many, he killed Arcee!

Movie is around 2 months to go. Can't really wait as there's too much leaked info by the director.

More of the news here. (Michael Bay's Interview with MTV.com)

Liverpool's Last Hope

It's a dim chance.

After Man Utd's win against Aston Villa, Liverpool's chances are becoming lower. Its not going to end, but just lower.

Around 7-8 matches left, anything can STILL happen.

It's left for the strongest to win the title now. Even though Man Utd is leading the league right now, a few draws would see them dropped to 2nd place.

Another thing is Chelsea, they are still trailing with single points. They still can upset the rest.

If Porto can drew with Man Utd, something must be wrong.

Shinjuku Incident Movie Review

To me honest I wasn't impressed at first by the movie title. Lots of news about the movie getting banned in China due to the movie brutality. I didn't really plan to watch it but since I got tagged along why not?

The movie started slow with how Steelhead (Jackie Chan) went to Japan to look over for his girlfriend Xiu Xiu.

The movie then reflects the dark side of Tokyo. The works of an illegal immigrants were working. He then also helped by Jie (Daniel) to settle down in Japan.

Story then revolves when they had more complications in their life when they crossed path with several gangsters and yakuzas. Things were getting more interesting when Xiu Xiu is married a to a local gang leader.

There's lot of realness in the movie. Jackie and Daniel acted well in the movie. Its a must watch movie. One of the better Jackie's movies. Least fight but emotional.

I have no complaints of how the movie ended or how the story goes. The story itself was quite strong as Steelhead revolves from an illegal immigrant to a different person.

I shall said this again, watchable movie!

About Manga Spoilers

Its very noticeable that the blog lately had been posting manga spoilers for Naruto and Bleach. I'm a huge admirer for both manga and posting spoilers here will be somehow permanent at the moment.

I had been missing in action for 2 weeks and I will be traveling again next week. I would consider this weekend to be a good time for resting.

I woke up today very dizzy probably overdosed my cough syrup. I missed a schedule video shoot today, but someone was in plan to cover for me.

There's so many things that I would love to post it there but there's too many to write and too least time to do so.

Full chapter should be released very soon today.

Back From Lumut

My last 5 working days in Lumut was fun but tiring. On the third day, I was down with flu and fever. Well, I carried on and I'm back at home now.

The bloody hot weather played its part and the traveling time as well.

I must admit that I'm getting old. Can't really keep up with the young ones and the old ones. I need a long sleep tonight. Will update more soon. Taking my medicine now. :p
