Pantas dan Garang 4
The rule is when watching this type of movie, we have to set our minds not to focus much on the storyline/plot, the dialogues or even the acting. Movies like this were made to blow our minds away with their high-octane action scenes. The modified cars roaring at unbelievingly high speed and smashing into things that stand their way. The massive explosions. The drivers maintaining their calmness despite the chaos (gila ah..lagi few inches je nak crash into the lori tangki minyak yg tgh terbakar. Tapi muka maintain ketat.Heh). All these were pure adrenaline. I love love love it. Despite the acting & plot, this movie is much better than the 2nd & 3rd one. Especially the 3rd. That Tokyo Drift movie. Urgh. What were they thinking, having a Texan-accent-speaking lead character? No offend against the Texan accent. It’s just that it didn’t go well with the character who drove fast cars, participated in illegal drag-racing, involved in Yakuza and then later on, stole the Yakuza’s Leader’s hot girlfriend. I jst didn’t get it. Like, sgt tak melambangkan the rogue elements in that character. Oh well, at least audience could enjoy the view of numerous number of hot & skimpy-clad Japanese girls. Anyhow, back to my POV on Pantas & Garang 4. Vin Diesel is Vin Diesel lah kan. With that botak & tight-fitting white t-shirt image. Yummy. But I wish he could show more emotions & and was given more lines. Oklah maybe the plot is like that. I like the part where he was describing Letty played by Michelle Rodriguez (his dead but hot gf) to that hot but too-skinny right-woman of that drug cartel.
Vin Diesel: It starts with the eyes. She's gotta have those kind of eyes that can look right through the bullshit, to the good in someone. 20% angel, 80% devil. Down to earth. Ain't afraid to get a little engine grease under her fingernails.
The girl: That doesn't sound anything like me.
Vin Diesel: It ain't.
Aahhh… a baddie, but with a soft heart when it comes to the woman that he loves so much. *cair*
And Michelle Rodriguez is one hot woman!!! She still looks hot even in the scenes involving the bone-breaking stunts. And owh I just found out that the girl of the drug cartel is actually a former Ms.Israel. oh patutla. Exotic but still, too skinny.
I watched this with Mr.Man and we both agreed that this sequel is better than Tokyo Drift. Seriously, the crash, the explosions and all the stunts memang heart-stopping. Go watch this if you need something to pump up your heart and especially if you’re an adrenaline junkie like me.

Lots have been happening in my life and also at work. Changes are everywhere. And some of them are scary I must say. Lately I have been feeling uninspired about my work. The opportunities are there. The environment is new. The people are definitely different. And hopefully interesting. As I am now surrounded by a vast male population with male co-workers, male bosses & male big boss, this is definitely a good change lah kan. After all these years being stuck in an all-female surrounding, who could forget the makciks2 who were always there, ever-willingly trying to find opportunities to stick their nose in my business. So yeah, this change being in a totally different environment, people-wise and work area-wise hopefully would bring some meaning to my working life. But, I am not feeling it lah the past week. I have a cool male boss who asks me if I have this latest Malay song and who prefers to lepak2 at Pelita after work for a bonding session. Tapi kenapa aku rasa bosan niiiii? The fact that he was KINDA good-looking pun tidak membantu utk aku be inspired. What the heck is wrong with me maaan? Yes, maybe I need that holiday in Damai Laut.
Fashion has always been one of the biggest influences on me. I like fashion. I like discovering ways of pulling off a top that most people wouldn’t dare to wear. I like hunting for cheap or discounted and quirky stuff but when put together, the result is unbelievably amazing. I like being unique. I like being creative in styling myself or choosing my clothes. That was me when I was in Brisbane. Now, I have become boring. I don’t know how I have turned from a person who is adventurous in fashion into this boring, plain and inexpressive human being. This is not me. I think the working life taken its toll on me. Oh nooo… Darn it. I think I need help.
I think I wanna start a fashion blog. Probably one which sells clothes & accesories. But with the current economic situation, I just don't think it's really wise. I browsed through some blogs and webbies and found a lot of interesting people who sell interesting clothes & accessories online. Best gileeeee..... I wonder if they have day-jobs like me. I bought one new top online too while browsing. Hehe.
On a happier note, my long-time girlfriend has just got married on 14th March. Congratulations Huda & Hatta! It really was a defining moment seeing you walking down the aisle (well, in her case, it'd be more of berarak from the gate to the meja makan beradap. Siap ada tol lagi. Org Johor lah katakan..Hehe). It was an honour to be your maid of honour on the biggest day of your life. I enjoyed every moment (of wiping away your sweats for being under the hot sun and fussing over your melting makeup) of it.
Speaking of hot & sweaty, I went to Jason Mraz's concert the other day with Mr.Man. I was ecstatic. Not really a big fan of The Geek in The Pink. But I must say that I do enjoy most of his songs. Lagipun, yours truly appreciates a guy with a guitar who sings. So I was really looking forward to this concerto. My expectation was more or less met :) Cuma x tahan asal panas gila nak mati rasa cam kene letak dalam sauna yg berhimpit2.Seriously man. That was one major turn-off gak ah.It was not like this during Dewa. Or even Muse, a friend of mine commented. Naseb baik lah Jason ala2 kelakar + witty & entertaining on stage. Bolehla layan tepuk2 tangan sambil enjoy the songs padahal rasa hampir nak ter-suffocated time tu. Thanks Mr.Man.You're my rock.
Me and Mynn, our important person for the road trip to Kulai for Huda's wedding. Without your car & your immaculate driving skills, we'll never arrive on time. Hehehe..

the magical land below the wind
sending my kisses and hugs all the way from KK, Sabah!!! The experience while I was here was incredible. It was a total rollercoaster ride. I arrived in KK, feeling a bit angry and sad because of something, then I was a bit ok..Lately, i was bogged down with a lot of things that made me worried. Dgn being a newbie in the dept lagi.Haihh.. But then I went back being emotionally wrecked and utterly depressed. Bayangkan, tgh gunting2 name tag, tiba2 aku ter "hujan" depan my colleague. Panik dia tiba2. Hehe.. But I am definitely going back to KL floating in the air feeling happy hoping to fall down and cushioned by the sweet memories. Eceeh... Aku berjaya happy! Weehuu! Here's why:
with a lovely colleague of mine, Ms. Aya. She looks like a typical Sabahan but actually a pure Nogori-an. Best shopping ngan dia kat Pasar Filipino. Dapat extra discounts. She could easily pull off a Sabahan accent. Hehe..
Our group went downtown to a fishing village to have dinner. The seafood was great! I wasnt a big fan of seafood, but the food was good. Then there were some cultural dances, performed by some good-looking dancers. Yummy. And owh, I was selected by the yummy looking dancer to join the tarian buluh. Yeay! ...for being invited on stage by that yummy-looking dancer NOT for the dancing part. Fobia kaki kena kepit dgn buluh2 tu. But it was a hell of experience lah. All in the name of fun. Amboi2 mr.boss, suka dia snap gamba2 anak2 buah dia terkinja2 sambil cuba mengelak kaki dikepit buluh. Hahah.. Tapi dia apa kurang nya. Siap menyumpit lagi tuuuuu. Ahahahah... Fortunately the baloon burst. You certainly held our dept's honour in great intact mr.boss. Hahah.. Let's see the some of the unique food that we had:
Sea Cucumber or better known as gamat. Eeeew yucks! Serious camne aku leh x perasan mende alah ni masa pilih menu kat KL tht day. It reminds me of some juicy maggots lah. But....the taste wasnt that bad ok. Macam sotong2 sket. But still....
Soft crab shell goreng tepung. My favourite!!!!!! I felt like tapau-ing some back but malu la se-meja with mr.boss..
our entrees. gempak x? Seriously humungous okkk lobster ituuuu..
a failed attempt to capture the pic of tht yummy Pahlawan Iban
Our night of fun didnt end there. Once we reached the hotel, i bumped into my friend and we headed off to Rumba, the hotel's bar. Mr.boss saw us coming in there. Esok harus dia tanya apa bisnes aku masuk situ. Aku nak jawab networking, boleh? There was a band playing, whom were friends with my friend and they played well i must say. They were just about to start playing Creep when we entered. AAAaaaAAAaaaa.. Lagu kesokaan ku! The suara was sedap. The music was just so good. After they finished playing, they came up to us and chatted for a few good minutes. Siap amik group pic lagi. Boleh? Hahah..
the band. beautiful people, all of them
close-up of the Filipino. Eheh..
It was a nice wrap-up of my trip to KK this time around. My eyes are clean and so is my wallet. Hehe.. Rabu sudah kena masuk ofis baah.. I'll be missing KK so much that's for sure. Dont wanna work on Wednesday, can aah?
cockroach attack
Can anyone please tell why there are insects in my car? To be more specific, cockroaches!!!!!Aaarghhhh.. Luckily, anak lipas kalau bapak dia ke, mak dia ke? Arrrghhhhhh.... To say that my Lovemobile is flooded with food leftovers ke, no no that is not the case because I didnt leave any trails of food behind. This really is a major, super-humongous problem because I am a cockroach-phobic. Tikus is ok. Cicak is ok. Mentibang pun still boleh consider lagi laa. But lipas??? Big No-No. It all started back when I was still a small kid, maybe about 3 or 4 years old when we were living with my late grandma'. There was this old TV set in the living room. According to my mom, I loved to mess around with the TV buttons. Main tukar2 channel ah, main volume dia, bukak-tutup TV uzur tu. My late grandma' of course lah ferikaut, scared tht the old TV would go kaput because of her (very cute and smart) granddaughter. Sooo..taking matters in her own hand (before my late grandma' ferikaut), my mom killed a big, fat, juicy cockroach AND hanged it on the TV (and followed by her frequent efforts to scare me "Haaa..jgn dekat, ada monster tu...eeeee"). Confirm lah budak kecik akan phobia kan? From that day onwards, I didnt dare mess around with the TV and even if I managed to come close to the TV, I'd never dared to touch the TV, all because of the scary little 6-legged creature. And people, that is the story of how I got scared of cockroaches.
So how now? I just killed the 3rd anak lipas this morning, found crawling on my dashboard. If there is going to be the 4th one, I will surely ferikaut okk.....
Help!!!
P/S: Is there any possiblity that these cockroaches are "living" in my car? Dalam engine ke ekzos ke? Or mana2 celah yg boleh derang membiak? Possible keeeee? Aaaah ferikaut nyeeeeeeeeeee!!
si kenit dan si gagah perkasa
On the left, is the apple-green lovemobile which is mine parked next to his newly acquired super-cool Honda. (I'd kill for his caaaarrr okkk..Serious cantek gile. Naik rasa xnk turun2 dah.Haha..Curi kang baru tau..) Kancil will definitely be missed by Savvy now that you've got a new ride :)
Nota Kaki: Ini adalah parking di belakang Public Bank. The cheapest rate there is arnd KLCC area so far.. Ntah hape2 nak naik kan parking rate. Dahla jalan berlubang2
