Get well soon, Hamster....

Havent been blogging for a bit. Been busy with work in Cyberjaya. Yes, u heard me.. cyber... just cant escape that place. Feels as though it was meant to be... :P
However, because of that, I was peasantly impressed by the RapidKL Bus which services the route to Cyber. Cheap and dare I say somewhat 'efficient'. Yes.. I am taking the bus. Not that bad, besides I get to sleep in the bus. So long I dont need to wait to long for the buses, I am ok with it. Fingers and toes crossed, so far so good... havent had any dude wharfing wet, fishy sardine smells in the bus as yet. Touch wood, tht will never happen.








On a sadder note, one of my all time favourite TV presenters Richard Hammond a.k.a. 'Hamster' (of BBC "Top Gear" Fame) is seriously injured in a crash involving a Jet Propelled Vampire Dragster. He was shooting for next season's Top Gear when it happened. Apparently, he was doing... get this... a whopping 280 MPH (i.e. 448 KMH) when the Vampire dragster veered off and crashed. Goodness... don think my guts can even muster a 400 KMH ride. Most I have done is 250 KMH and that was pretty scary.








Anyway, my prayers are with you Hamster. Get well soon and hope to see you real soon in TopGear!
On a lighter note, a friend sent me this and its pretty cute. Ever wondered what happens to animal stars after they are no longer popular... yes.. I have found Lassie. After entertaining millions of fans in the 70s... the show got canned... and we never hard of Lassie since..... until a few days ago... check this out... Lassie has a new job.. and it involves the family too.. All the best Lassie. ;P

Here, kitty, kitty...

Ok... havent had much time to blog lately. Been busy working and also tending to the house... too much work I tell you... :P
Oh.. the stupid cat came into the house again... and this time... gave it a scare before letting it go.... hope this is the last time it comes into the house...:P Next time round... the smackings will me more severe....:P

Sotong for the day

Today is one of those days.... where I am at the most unattentive....
Firstly, woke up, cleaned up, made a cup of milo.... seems harmless enough... after eargerly waiting for the milo to cool down.. well not quite cooled... I took a gulp... and OWWW..EEEWWW..YUCK.. (*followed with a few spits*).... little didnt i realise that instead of putting sugar into my milo (ran out of condense milk) .. yeap...I put salt... and as if that wasnt enough .. I burnt my tongue. So my impatience gave a salty coco sensation with a tad scortched feeling on the side... phankiu vewwy much....
Then .. yes, it did not end there... was ironing my clothes... (so I am domesticated.. so what... ).. I burnt my fingers.... luckily I had an ice pack handy to ice the fingers out... now I have racing lines on my fingers. Anyhow.. have to be more alert around hot objects.. esp salty milo.... (imagine calling something like that at a mamak.. milo masin ice!... kurang masin... yuck!)
On a separate topic, ever wondered what if Darth Vader turned out to be a good guy and is on the Force rather the dark side? Imagine the scene where Darth Vder rises and then says screw you emperor.. I going over to the force.... wonder how he would look like? Well, I found the profound picture... Hello Darth Vader.. the good guy...:P

Is it still safe to be outside....

There has been quite frequent rob&kill, rob&slash, rob&rape cases popping up in the media lately. Real alarming if you ask me.
Am wondering if its the police who has been slacking (after all, they did circulate a note saying that with the advent of the internal audit committee for the police force, they would let crime slide upwards), or are the robbers getting more bold in their activities.
Which ever the case.... how safe is it for us to go outside these days?

Dolby Surround 5.2

Yeah, we all heard of dolby surround 5.1, 7.1, THX and the lot. But have any of you had the exquisite experience of sitting in a cinema with Dolby surround 5.1 + 0.1? Ah... I had the experience tonight. Cyrene, Matt and me got together for a movie... Pirates 2. In we went into the theather with me stuffing myself full of pop corn. The lights dim.... and out of the corner of my eye, a girl sat next to me.. and I thought.. hello! this seems promising. The movie started and beofre I knew it, Ms. dolby surround + 0.1 started screaming with the littlest of scares from the movie. And I mean real screams.. not like one of those sheepish yelps you get when u step from a toy dog's tail... this was full blown scream. Over the course of the movie, any little exciting or nervous scecne... Ms. Dolby Surround would grace me with her + 0.1 sound effects.... and it was annoying. I can understand if we were watching a horror movie like Ju-on, The Ring or even Shaylaman's movies..but c'mon, Pirates of the Carribean 2? You got to be kidding me!
At one point in the movie, as she was again contributing her Dolby Surround + 0.1 screams, she was quaking with fear. I thought she was going into a seizure. In my opinion, I think she doesnt watch movies much..... how on earth can you not expect something to happen when the charaters says that there is something going to happen.... sheesh!
Anyway, what Cyrene and Matt says is true... she got her money's worth. She got the full experience of movie watching and she was fully engrossed into the movie plot, sub plots and sub-sub plots. After that.... I felt cheated of my money... as I didnt have the same experience. ;) Maybe I shall try to squeel abit in Pirates 3.... and if Ms. Dolby is around.... then it will be a world's first dolby surround 5.1 + 0.2 :P and that I pray will not happen......
