Whirlwind Weekend

Despite the wrong ticket that I bought
Despite my immobility due to my sister's busy weekend
Despite the impromptu-ness of the decision
I still managed to get back to KL and spent my weekend there

^_^

For the wrong ticket, Za and I could blame Maraliner for not stating which Bandar Tun Razak that they go. We thought it was the BTR in Cheras but minutes before boarding time, all hell broke lose when the conductor told us it was the BTR in Kratong. We were panicked of course since all ticket to KL for that night were sold out. Luckily there was someone who were willing to cramp us at the back of a bus en route to KL. That problem was solved.

Then in Bangi, my sister was too busy managing a course at her place that she needed to use her car to go back and fro. I was room-bound during daytime and was about to leave to Mines as planned on Komuter to meet up with my sayang. Then rain fell like cats and dogs as I was about to leave. Thankfully my sister managed to car pool with a friend that night and I got myself a car.

The next day, had to leave real early even if my bus would actually leave at 10 at night. Good thing Linda was with me. Went to Midvalley, watched Fantastic 4 and then went to my aunt's house in Bangsar. Linda was, as last time got her hands full by melayan my 6 years old cousin, Baby while I get to spend my time with Dayah and her Mak. Currently, Baby is perfecting her skills in saying 'whatever' to everyone around. The 'whatever' caused her sister to pick her up and dunk her in the washing machine, hahahaha.


By the time I had to leave for Hentian Putra, I found myself dragging my feet to the door towards the car. You could expect me to leave Besut in a heart beat, no matter whatever difficulties and complications, but leaving for Besut... now that's a different thing altogether.

Oh well, few more months to go. You can do it Diah!!!!

Spring Cleaning

It's spring cleaning day.

Well, for today it was only applied to my own 'happy place'. There were so many books that I've accumulated since secondary school, so my room was strewn with it. When there's books, of course dust will settle in and caused yours truly to sneeze like there was no tomorrow during the cleaning. By noon, my voice was so messed up that I started to sound more like a boy who just reached puberty -_-;

Other than books, there were also my bro's damaged PS joysticks which he conveniently dumped into my already full room. Not forgetting my sister's old college stuff, my old notes, souveniers, gifts, magazines, damaged motherboards, DVDs, VCDs, shoe boxes - I honestly don't know why I still had those @_@

One thing about spring cleaning I found the things that I thought was lost for good. There were my class pictures, some books that I thought was missing, my primary school report card, my primary school student file and loads of other things that I've been searching for ages. Guess I had it coming, huh? *_*

Finished dispensing with all useless and needless stuff, I went cleaning my books. Yeah you got that right, cleaning it with damp cloth. One thing about using mosquito coils at night, it caused staining on the books. Some of the stains were easy to be rid off - on plastic covered books that is but on uncovered book, by golly it took a long time to get it clean. Then the arranging part comes which caused me a headache. I know I lost a lot of my Christopher Pike's, a few of Judith Mcnaught's, a James Patterson's which I guess were kind of a blessing in disguise because I run out of place for it. Though I still need to spare a space for the last Harry Potter book that will be released in July -_-;

Now it's no longer an eyesore... that much ^_^;

The cleaning ended at about 4 and boy I was beat. I need tissues, ACCHOOO!!!

*Tummy Rumbling*

I was driving and yet again... hearing the song never fails - so far - to make me salivate and craving for...

A BURGER!!!!!!!!!!! -_-;

Well it started in 2005 when Don and Drew had their own slot on 987fm, a Singaporean radio station - and also my all time favourite station. They were always up for the challenges given by the listeners whether to do a remix, a mix or even come up with a song. Haven't heard the song for so long and when I did... wallao!! Good thing they still have their web page on. Yeah, yeah, I already did an entry for this in 2005, but what the heck, the song's good and funny. You could sing along to the song here, hehehe. The quality is not that good though - I can't change the setting on my audio recorder -_-; Dedicated to burger-tepi-jalan lovers out there, hehehe

Ramly (Burger Lembu) - Don and Drew

Raaaaaaaaamly!!!
Burger lembu!! (this part sound like Boogiely boo, but it's actually burger lembu - on a mat saleh tongue)

Yo Ramly, you're with the family
Your meat is manly
Get fatter than fat

Yo Ramly, you're with the family
Your meat is manly
Get fatter than fat

Yo Ramly is the burger that I love to eat,
Even though I don't know what's in the meat,
A lil bit of egg and a lot of sauce,
No matter what they say I don't believe its horse
If you're feeling like a Ramly in Singapore
You gotta get up off your a**
You gotta leave this shore
You gotta barge us in you gotta get 3 or 4
But no matter how much
You gonna want some more

Bun, patty, egg, cheese, rubber duck please
I hold my Ramly between my knees
Yo even though the chef is infested with fleas
Squeeze the buns together to release the grease

Yo Ramly, you're with the family
Your meat is manly
Get fatter than fat

Ramly is good, good Malaysian food
Ramly is good, eat it like you should

Remember the time I was in JB
A rumble in my tummy I was feeling hungry
I just had lunch it was a quarter to 3
I ran across the road and then I found
RAMLY!!

I went up to the man and then I said how much
He said if you ain't got the money then you can't touch
But I needed to eat burger I just could not wait
So I just took off the road and then I salivate

Ramly is good, good Malaysian food
Ramly is good, eat it like you should

So what about the time I was in Langkawi
I walked into the market so much stuff to see
Yo had my pretty home girl walking next to me
And there I behold, what did I see?
RAMLY!!

At first I was afraid I was petrified
I didn't know what the hell was being fried
The woman said "burger"
I said don't you lie
And you know it was the best thing I've ever tried

Yo Ramly, you're with the family
Your meat is manly
Get fatter than fat

Kuala Lumpur there was a special time
Don and Drew were there without a nickel or dime
No money to get, no money to lend
We only had a little bit of money to spend
So we got a ramly burger with bun and patty
We really didn't care we were gonna get fatty
Blimey its so good that just we have to sing it
The yummy little burger only cost 2 ringgit

Ho-hum weekend

I did not go out that much this weekend - unlike the previous one where I moved around a lot. Had to stay home for the tiling guy to finish his work at home. Mak and Abah was busy with weddings and meetings so someone had to stay home for the guy to do his job. Good thing for the Star Wars marathon that made me a wee bit ting tong after being fed 6 movies back to back @_@

Managed to go to Irra's place in the morning to pass her some keropok I got for her, went to the bank for my bro to deposit some money and then went back home in record time. The guy reached home for the work an hour after. Good timing, hehehe.

Got Julie Garwood's latest novel - Shadow Dance. Felt like dancing here and there since the much awaited character finally got his break, YEAY!!! It was years ago when I sent an e-mail to Ms Garwood regarding the character, asking when will be his turn to be in the spotlight. I was more than thrilled when she replied that his turn was yet to come, uwahhhh!!! Few novels later, hurrah!! It's out!! Those who read her work might be familiar with her crime/suspense series which circulated mostly on the Buchanans. The character in question was Noah Clayborne - the agent who's always in every novel, butting in every crime scene. By the time I was done reading, my neck was stiff and my eyes were doing some tricks on me, huhuhu.

By 6.30pm Mak and Abah reached home from their meeting, cooked for dinner and watched POTC 1 on channel 5. Guess I was already unconcious after the movie ended and so here I am, wide awake early in the morning - guess so lah.

2 more weeks to go. Time does fly *_*

Rush Rush...

After much waiting and delaying, finally I spent my part of the holiday spending my time at the cinema doing a back-to-back movie marathon - for Shrek 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean - at World's End. Had already planned for the marathon since before the holiday started with my bro. Good thing my brother and I are students so we both qualified for the RM5 ticket price, ngehehehe. But one thing that I have to say - the cinema ad at GSC Leisure Mall was so darn long that I guess I've seen nearly all the upcoming movie preview. Pirates of the Caribbean was supposed to start at 11.20am. The movie started - in all honesty - at 11.50am. Gile lama. the whole cinema was half-groaning watching the ad back to back. I mean imagine watching 3 advertisement of the same item back to back and that was not the end of it, uwahhhh.

Done yapping on the advertisement, now let's get back to the movies. I definitely like POTC 3 better than the 2nd one. The reason - the did not recycle the jokes from the previous episode that much, and, *spoiler alert* I have to say, the part when Will Turner became captain *not going to say more on that* had to do all I could not to say "kakkoi!!!!" aloud. Well for those who plans to watch it and haven't yet, a tip from me try to wait when the credit rolls in the end. When all the credit was done there's something at the end of it. Of course la, most were already up and leaving the cinema house when the credit starts to roll in. It was only a short part but enough to tell what happened to Will & Elizabeth.

Shrek 3 - another good movie, enough to make me laugh my soles off. Girl power oozes off from the movie when the princesses and a queen was fighting for Far Far Away. Their adaptation on high school was funny with the nerd playing chess, jocks was jousting, cheer leading group and all that. Overall, I like both movies.

After Leisure Mall, off we went to Holiday Plaza to meet another pirate. I was aiming for Nino's Letters from Iwojima, hoping that they might have Japanese movies on the rack. What greeted me on sight was that ALL the vcd store was closed - well not exactly closed. Their door happened to be closed but as I approached one of the guys, saying I want to buy DVD, they opened the shop, enough for me to get in and closed the shop. I have never felt so sweaty palmed and nervous before just buying DVD. Of course la I had to ask the guy.

"Semua tutup kedai. Ada rush ke?"
"Ya, lor. Suppose 1 sampai 5 petang."

Wallawei *_*

It was 5.30pm and they were still on guard. My bro was asking for 24 season 5 and they took a long time to get that particular series to the shop. My imagination was running amok thinking what would happen if suddenly the shop was rushed - with me and my bro in it *shivers*. I got my Iwojima and I was more than glad to get out of the shop and went straight back home.

What a way to end the day @_@

Oh, and Iwojima is certainly great. True to the review which dubbed it better than it's counterpart - Flag of Our Fathers, the movie seems more humane except from the part when the soldiers opted to kill themselves with the hand grenade, erk.
