It's that time of the year again. Yepp, birthdayss!! Leena's birthday was on the 19th, and mine on the 20th. But, we thought we have a pre-birthday party with all our friends since, come the weekend, everyone would be busy with "Hari Raya" celebrations and also family farewells.


So, on Thursday, a few of us headed out to 'Souled-Out' and then to 'Zouk'. Amazing night, guys. Thanks loads for everything. I'll be having a post-birthday celebration once we all reach and settle down in Reading. =D


And for once, I appreciate the flooding of "Facebook" emails stating that "Someone wrote on your wall". Appreciate it much, guys. Thanks for the wishes. Would reply each and everyone one of you personally later.


Haven't had much time to do anything now, really. Dinners, open-houses, parties, lepaking sessions. And to top that off, I'm sick. Trying to get better as soon as possible. Don't want to be quarantined at Heathrow next Sunday. =P


Well, I guess that's it for now. Got shopping to do. I miss Reading. =)


Cheers.


P.S. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all Muslims out there.

KayKay

Went to Kota Kinabalu last weekend with the family. We all figured every one of us needed a break, so KK it was. Nice place, nice hotel, nice time. It was a really relaxing holiday, so nothing much done. Mostly time was spent at the hotel, except when we went island hopping and to the foothills of Mount Kinabalu.


Pictures are up on Facebook so feel free to browse and comment. If you want the full escapade adventure story then we'll meet up for pool/drinks sometime and I'll lecture you it over. As for now, I'm still dreaming of those Sabahan girls. Me like. Very much. You should have been there at the hotel's underground club with me. I was watching the Man United-Arsenal game while these crazy Sabahan girls were all over the dance floor, sipping them drinks and puffing those fags away, in very skimpy clothes. Atleast we know girls who smoke are willing to suck on anything, eyy?? Arshavin's goal was still "jizz" though.


Cheers.


P.S. I absolutely loved "Bruno". =D

Yippide "Joe"..

Come Sunday Morning. Family decided to go for a movie at Sunway Pyramid. Afternoon show of course. Dad, Mum, and Henna wanted to watch the latest Bollywood film, whereas I opted for "GI Joe : The Rise of Cobra" as I'd already watched the Bollywood film they were so excited over.


Got my caramel popcorn and coke and headed for screen 10. And yes peeps, this is my second time in my life where I'm watching a film ALONE. I know. Sad. First time was for "Death Race" by the way. But you know really, it is fun sometimes watching a film alone. Just sometimes. Not all the time lahh (In that case then you're really sad). You just have to concentrate on the movie and best part, you don't have to share your popcorn. HAHAHHAHAHA.


But anyways, back to the movie. Absolutely awesome. Bloody brilliant. *In typical Indian accent*, "Suberb-fundastic-minddddblowing-mindblasting!! It didn't blow my mind, it BLASTED my mind". Hahahahahhaa.


Sienna Miller and Rachel Nichols were stunning as hell. Very very hot. And everyone played their roles superbly. The whole story-line, graphics (CGI), acting, cinematography, and everything was of top class. And I truly can say that "G.I. Joe" is definitely the better movie than "Transformers 2". Yupp, I said it.


Performances are what should be expected from this kind of movie. Not particularly strong, but not bad either. The stand out is Sienna Miller, who is almost unrecognisable with black hair and dark glasses. She seems to be having lots of fun playing the bad guy, and thus manages to create a very memorable and entertaining character.


Rachel Nichols is cute and believable as "Scarlett", and Marlon Wayans is great as "Ripcord". He can be funny and dorky from time to time, but because he's also a pretty good soldier and because he's never too goofy, one can take his character kinda seriously. His flirting with Rachel Nichols was great, not only because it was fun, but because it was nice to see an inter-racial romance making an appearance in a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster.


The main reason, though, of why "G.I. Joe" is so much superior to "Transformers 2" is that the former actually has memorable and fun characters worth rooting for, while the latter has virtually no characters, and instead provides with a gazzilion CGI robots who look virtually all the same during the confusing action sequences. I like the fact that each "Joe" is given a back-story through flashbacks and I also like the fact that, despite having very archetypical personalities, each character is instantly recognizable and played with style.


I can say I was a "Joe" virgin before watching the movie. I knew nothing about the characters, the plot or the role of the "Cobra" organization in the series' mythos, but after watching the film, I am now more interested in everything related to it. Needless to say, the movie does do a really good job at presenting the characters and the plot to newbies, and I'm sure that for die-hard fans, it is a very entertaining and visually-pleasing way to revisit their favourite characters.


Oh wells, in short, "G.I. Joe" was what "Transformers 2" should have been and sadly wasn't. Everyone who enjoys action movies, this has to be the one this year. And as it tagline says, "When all else fails, they don't". And really, all other action-figure films have failed (maybe a few have done average), except this, so far.


Aite then. "The Proposal" is next on my list. Message me guys, if anyone's up for it.


Cheers.


P.S. Oh yea, when I was walking towards the escalator to my car, I saw Shaunny boy with a pretty decent Indian girl. Gave him a pat on the back and he smiled. Notty notty boy Shaun Kang!!

Oh, "cum" on!!

So the other day I went to the Kelana Jaya Giant to do some grocery shopping with my momma. Strolling down the lanes, picking up my "Coco Pops" (which I have every morning for breakfast) and some milk to go with it, I suddenly heard my stomach growling.


So I thought it's either the Chicken Rice or the Banana Leaf I had the previous day which would have caused my stomach to ache. Decided to leave the stuff with my mum, told her to continue with her picking up stuff while I deal with my stomach ache at the toilet.


Walking towards the toilet, I was. Two ladies came up to me, promoting some "shit", them frowning after me giving them the 'hand'. Another lady who was walking in front of me gave me a scared look, tightened her grip on her handbag, and slowly walked into RHB bank.


Me with my unshaven beard, looking like the true descendant of an Italian mobster walked straight into the males toilet on the 2nd floor of the Kelana Jaya Giant mall. I really had to take a dump. Really. Badly.


Two doors were shut, them flanking open after me kicking them hard. The first one was smelly like hell, had brown spots (yepp, it probably was what you're thinking) all over. Moved on to the next one, and it looked pretty decent to me. I thought for a minute or two, this doesn't seem right. But the pressure in my bottocks couldnt hold any longer, so I couldnt care less.


Went in, slammed the door behind me. Took a closer look at the toilet seat, washed it with a pipe nearby. Let it dry for a little and then FINALLY sat down. Pooped and pooped and pooped. Felt sooooo relieved after a long long time.


So then comes the time you know, where you just sit there waiting for more to come out. And it takes around atleast 2 minutes. THAT wait. And you start thinking about your next appointment or atleast I was thinking what else was I suppose to get from Giant.


Then I noticed a spot, next to me on the floor. It looked goo-ey. Slimy. Whitish. It looked like spit for a minute, but then I thought, why the hell would anyone spit outside the toilet bowl. Doesn't make any sense. Then I thought it be glue. But then, why the hell would anyone want to spill glue all over the toilet. Then it strucked me. It was "CUM".


Bloody hell. It fits. Makes perfect sense. Anyone (especially bangla workers) would like to jerk off in the toilet. I mean, where else would they do it then. I was freaking disgusted. My poop which I was trying to squeeze out (you know what I mean, you've done that before so don't go pointing fingers at me saying EEEEWWW) just flushed out. I started looking around the walls to see if there were anymore.


But then I realised, why the hell am I looking for "cum". Cleaned up my ass. Dashed out of there, and continued with my shopping. Seriously, I'm never going back to the toilets at the Giant mall anymore. Thinking of it again just wants to make me puke. Bluuueeekkkk.


Cheers.


P.S. Conclusion is, never use toilets outside your home. Eat clean Chicken Rice and Banana Leaf food. Never use the toilets at the Kelana Jaya Giant mall. And most importantly, never ever jerk off in a public area (girls, this applies to you too); pity the faggots like me who just want to enjoy the fundamental use of a toilet bowl, which is TO TAKE A DUMP!!

Scintillating

That was me at the Bukit Jalil Stadium yesterday, when Man Utd visited KL for a match against Malaysia XI. Scintillating, or rather 'titillating' (wanted to put that as my title, but realised it wasn't just my tits that enjoyed the brilliant game) the match was. 100,000 was the number. Bukit Jalil was never this packed. Full house!! With Man Utd and Malaysia fans jumping up and down, cheering, singing, and of course 'Mexican wave'-ing. I'll tell you about the actual experience someday.


Truly an amazing match though. Man Utd 2-0 up by 40 minutes and then came a wonder strike by Amri Yahya, who then scored the equaliser, only for Michael Owen to win the game for Man Utd in the last 5 minutes.


But really, Malaysia was up to par. They started well, passed well, worked well, but lacked the finishing touch. Man Utd was its usual. Passed brilliantly, went forward well, and scored good goals, only Malaysia's ones' were better.


I went in a shy Malaysia fan, but came out a proud one. I have to salute and take my hat off for K.Rajagopal, the coach of the Malaysia team, who has really transformed the whole football team of Malaysia. He's mixed up the play now, and they look more confident playing as a team.


Really enjoyed the match, and am looking forward for Arsenal to visit Malaysia now, one of these days hopefully. Oh yea, Michael Owen scored his first ever goal for Man Utd, and it was in KL. Beat that!! Heehee.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Watched loads of movies lately. The Hangover, Obssessed, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Adventureland, Bart Got A Room, Haunting in Connecticut, Land of the Lost, The Soloist, and of course, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince. All of em were pretty entertaining, but I thought Harry Potter was superb, taking into account the previous shitty 5th movie.


HP this time had a good storyline, focusing more into the relationships between the main characters, and also it looked more professional on cover. Emma Watson has so totally grown really hot, and I've fallen for her now. Megan Fox is still my number one, though.


Hmmm. Loads of stuff coming up these coming few weeks. Aite peeps, off to continue watching 'Big Brother'. Don't waste water, drink beer!! (ohkaayyy, that was random. but shit happens when you stay in the house for too long, trust me).


Cheers.

Love Fifteen

Jimmy Connors once said, "In the modern game, you're a clay-court specialist, a grass-court specialist or a hard-court specialist - or you're Roger Federer." Well said, Sir.


I have to admit, I had witnessed one of the best tennis finals in my life. You wouldn't have expected Andy Roddick to be Roger's opposite, but Andy truly deserved to be there. A smashing 77 games played, breaking the world-record of an earlier 72 games.


Federrer started a little nervy, His first-serves and placing were really off, but after recovering from one set down to come up to 2-1 boosted his confidence and really got him serving those aces (50 total in a match - absolutely unbelievable).


But hats off to Mr. Andy Roddick for putting up a stunning fight. I've never liked him before. I do now. No more with that angry attitude and bad stroking. Andy Roddick has definitely changed as a person and a tennis player. His first and second serves have to be the best in the business, and he can come up with cracking shots, every once in a while.


Yeah, I know many of you thought Roddick deserved it, but have you actually seen the shots Roger played to win the match. Yes, most of them were off Roddick's mistakes, but that's how Roddick won two sets as well, off Federrers mistakes.


Well, he's got 15 Grand Slam titles now, surpassing Pete Sampras's record. And I'd bet there are many more to come. Well done, Roger. You truly deserve your success. I am really really sorry for Andy Roddick because I thought he put up an amazing fight, but someone has to win someday. And am sure Andy Roddick will start winning some titles back.


The Wimbledon is with its rightly owner now. The US Open is next. Oh wells, thats all from me now. I so need to play tennis with some one now. Anyone??


Cheers.


P.S. I'm planning to go for next year's Wimbledon final. Join me?? Hopefully Pete Sampras, Bjorn Bord, Henry Kissinger, Russell Crowe, Woody Allen, Michael Ballack, Alex Ferguson, Sachin Tendulkar, and others come back too!!

Malaysian Night at University of Reading Enthralls All
By Marina Nasution, President of RUMBSA 2008/9

The third annual Reading University Malaysian, Bruneian & Singaporean Association's (RUMBSA) Malaysian Night held on 13 February 2009 was a resounding success. It is aimed to increase awareness about Malaysian culture as well as to strengthen the bonds between RUMBSA members.


Professor Patricia Leopold, Head of Reading Law School, Rhiannon Horsley, President of the Reading University Students' Union (RUSU) and many others praised the show, saying they enjoyed the cultural exchange opportunity.


Themed Negaraku and held at Myra McCulloch Theatre, Bulmershe, the event featured delicious Malaysian food and cultural performances by RUMBSA members. Food served specially for the night were nasi goreng Cina, ayam rendang, teh tarik, bubur cha cha and many more, curing Malaysians of their homesickness.

Performances like Malay, Chinese and Indian dances as well as the play Negaraku written by fellow Taylor's students, Foo Yen Ne and Chong Jiang Mun were put up. The entertaining and enlightening play allowed the audience to understand better about Malaysia.


Taylor's-Reading student Dinesh Nandrajog stole the spotlight in the play with his unbelievable acting skills and hilarious sense of humour. When asked what he likes most at Malaysian Night, he replied, "It definitely brought us (the actors) closer, which made the play even more realistic and it was an amazing experience to share the stage with such wonderful people."

Malaysian Night 2009 was definitely a night not to forget, with scrumptious food, dazzling dances and a passionate play. RUMBSA thanks everyone for the support and hopes that the success of Malaysian Night will continue for many years in the future.


What the guests said :

"Malaysian Night was fantastic and so rich in culture. I definitely want to visit Malaysia at some point!"
Hannah Goodwin, British student, University of Reading


"I love the performances! So I'm definitely coming again next year."
Louis Caldairou, French student, University of Reading

Well, mission accomplished is all I can say; made the world a better place. Haha. I know I'm such a show-off. Cheers.
