Gone 2010 Gone

Celebrates Life's Grandeur, It's Brilliance, It's Magnificent.

31st December, marking the end of 2010, one tough year it is.
Heard somebody posted on the facebook, commenting 2010 as a rut, where he is stuck in it for the whole damn year.
Seriously, it really is a whole damn long year, but i won't said i stuck it a rut or complain anything.

Surprises, dramatic, bittersweet, frustrations, waitings, emotional, changing....
A few terms i can relate to 2010. It's definitely not an easy year, the year ahead might be even tougher. A lot of things happened in my family, it's the major source of all the problems and stresses i'll said. I won't make any statement regarding the family issue here, not in the net. I like things stay the way they are, but u cant control when circumstances is taking control of the wheel of fortune.

Regardless of what happened, i'll never look back, only then i can have the courage to change, deciding who im gonna be.

Gonna leave now for the movies and countdown....Happy 2011!!!

Christmas and the Week

Itz been a while guys, Merry Xmas and Happy New year!

I'd finally got out of the rut, well, at least i did manage to step out of my house, shop and Kampar, for a little while.

People had been amazed, "Wow, ur really goin' to KL all alone by yaself?"

The thing is, i'm not completely alone. My sister and an my friend of are there course, though my sister was busying with her work on the other hand. Met my friend, Garlic, at One Utama. The trip was actually purely for buying new clothes while the sales last. I would said it ain't fruitful but at least i didn't wasted my money like i did couple of years ago....

Finally, watched Tron Legacy, it aint that bad actually. Some people said its boring and the story is a lil' lacking in plot. I'm perfectly fine with it as long as i grab the concept of the movie. Story aside, the artwork is pretty good and amazing, plus, the concept of the Grid world is absolutely interesting. Choices on actors and actresses are perfect. Soundtrack, is definitely a brilliant job by Daft Punk, Bravo~ Not scoring high marks in the eyes of public, but one thing for sure, whether u like it or not, great job in the artwork and graphics~

Christmas Eve Partayyyyyy Clubbing!!
The club we went is totally nth compared to M.O.S (aka Euphoria, Ministry of Sounds).
Lesson learned, any reservation for christmas eve should be made at least 3 or 2 weeks before that, or else u will ended up in an anonymous club with little/no area for dance even though u kept ur eyes full with bunches of hot gals or guys, and A LOT of smokes, just like we did this year, unfortunately! Still, we (some of us, including myself) pretended to be high, move our shoulders a bit.......that's all for the whole night, together with 4 bottles of Hennessy VSOP, though a lil' cheaper, i would have prefer Johnny Walker or Chivas over this, which taste is wayyyyy better.











In the end, few of em' puking non-stop, we are tired over acting high, that's sum it up pretty much. Bitter-not so-sweet Christmas, at least we tried our best to enjoy ourselves =) .

Games? Bring it On!!! Part I

Lost my inspiration, really, don't know what to write. My brain was being consumed by my dear PS3 games, probably it takes the shape of a joystick already....so obsessed that i'd finished 3 games (2 and a half basically) within 2 weeks, almost thoroughly(I didn't unlock ALL the trophies, though).....

All this time, i'd been playing.......

BAYONETTA

Is killing angels makes someone a villain?
If any of u said "Yes", think twice after u play this game.
The Angels are devils, but the devils are still devils ;).

 There is a game called "Devil May Cry", famous for its character's  attitude and game concept. For those who are strangers to these kinda games, have u ever heard some hero said "fuck off!", or "U naughty angels deserved a lil spank~"?

 Its a really fun game and u will find a few interesting elements inside the game. The naughty, mysterious, and feminine elements within the game matched perfectly without spoiling the fun of actions.

Reasons i love this game?
1. MC is a "representative" from hell, as opposing to those of heaven, Angels.
2. U can breakdance during the fight! Cool!
3. Firing bullets with ur legs!
4. Naughty combat style(some might refer it as slutty)
5.U have a main character that do a lil' pole dance to provoke the enemies.
6. The clothing of bayonetta that u see on the right are made of her hair!( Except for the shoes and the accessories)
7.Using hair to summon Infernal Demon (Wsshhh)
8.Stylish game, and there'll be sum S&M style special attack, too..Uber Witch!
9. Fly Me To The Moon~
Summoning the Infernal Demon from Hell with her hair... (and almost nude...)

This is how the angels look like in the game (monstrous, not delicate or gracious at all)

Bayonetta concept art
Advertising board found in the subway station in Japan. Those covering the bodies are actually stickers, which means.....Hmm...a unique way to advertise.

The trailer of Bayonetta....




Fly Me to the Moon, one of the theme songs in the game, enjoy the video below, in which Bayonetta pole dancing at the ending credit with the song. Nice graphic too! U shud watch it!




To be continued on the next post, juz to avoid Looooong post...

Wrong Timing

Finally, i'm back to post again~
I was in a terrible mood for the past few weeks, i wrote a few draft but it just didn't feel right. Well, at least i got this one done and decided XP.

"Usually", there are two months that I hated the most, January and December, but it happened to me they are also my best months of every year. Christmas and New Year's Eve are on December while my birthday and CNY(sometimes)  are the focus of January. Having the best celebrations within two consecutive months, why wouldn't it be nice?

The thing is, i'm the type of person love to have alot alot alot of activities and little personal time, because when i was with myself my brain hurts(over-think)...ALOT. I was expecting this holiday was packed with series of activities, turns out my hand was glued to the PS3 joystick already. Friends are either busyin their finals or their bank account emptied.... Yeah....got some games to obsessed of, but only lasted for a few days, the rest of the weeks i was simply repeating the same thing. Plus, waking up at 4am every mornin' (thx 2 my mom), the time when my limbs are the heaviest..urgghhh..What a holiday...
____________________________________________________________________________

Ok, let's skip the grunt, i wanna focus my thoughts on something more delightful rite now!
There's a bunch of movies i wanted to watch, especially TRON'S LEGACY.

It's actually a sequel to the old film, Tron (1982)

This is the old TRON...Retro~

 Plot: Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin (Jeff Bridges), the CEO of ENCOM, who vanished 20 years ago. One night Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner), the CEO of ENCOM, sends Sam to investigate a strange signal originating from the now abandoned Flynn's Arcade. While searching for clues, Sam is suddenly transported to the digital world of The Grid. Aided by the digital warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), Sam is reunited with his father and together set out on a journey to return home. Using vehicles, weapons, and landscapes that have become far more advanced than before, father and son must evade CLU 2, an updated version of Flynn's original hacking program, which will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.                                                                                -wikipedia


The one thing that attracted me of this movie mainly because of the director, Joseph Kosinki. He was an architecture student but ended up as a film director...hmmm...interesting....cant wait to see the end product of this "architecture student turned director's" film....

 The director : Joseph Kosinki


Below are some trailers for the film....

What a Bus, What a Day, What a World!

Avoid this bus (written at the end of the post).....

On the 30th November 2010

8.45am
Packed my stuff, got on the cab, returned keys, left UTM, off to Larkin for 9.45am bus bak to Kampar.

9.15am
Stucked in traffic jam on the way thr.....DAM! Stucked for 15 minutes!! My face remained calm, as a mean to hide my nervousness.....

9.35am
Safely reached there, the problem started when i took my ticket to the SriMaju Agent there. They said they didn't sell that ticket. I was dumbfounded for a moment. Then there are these few guys stood nearby, as if they are selling ticket or promoting their buses or something like that. Might as well asked them for direction to the actual agent of the ticket, since i'm quite lost and my friend who bought me the ticket didn't pick up the phone(plus he said it's from Sri Maju when he gave it to me....headache =.=). I asked one of the guys from the crowd, he took a look at my ticket, as if he knows exactly the solution, then asked me to follow him. We walked to some bus, which weirdly having a different logo compared to what is printed on the ticket.

"Bus ni ada pergi Kampar ke?" I asked.
"Ada ada!" the man said.

Then there was this female agent sat on the bus, took the ticket i bought and wrote me another ticket with the word KAMPAR largely on it.


I thought, they didn't asked me to paid for another fee, so as long as it back to Kampar safely, then it's alright. There's a Malay girl sat next to me, had a chat with her, then only realised we were under the same circumstances (probably the rest of the passengers were, too)

10.00 am
Bus started to go.

2.30 pm
The bus is comfortable. Everything was fine, then, somehow the bus entered Shah Alam there. I was kinda surprised because usually buses will either enter Bukit Jalil or stop by some RnR along the highway. I guessed the bus was picking up some passengers. The bus driver drove into the Klang Central, simply go to the toilet and had a few chat with the people there. OK, maybe their having some important discussion anyways, though, it added one and a half our to the whole journey.

4.30 pm
Nightmare began when the bus stopped by the rest place at Tanjung Malim there, then the driver told that they WILL NOT GO INTO KAMPAR. THEY WILL GIVE ME TEN RINGGIT AND LET ME TOOK BUS OR WATEVER WAYS GO BAK TO KAMPAR MYSELF FROM TAPAH! I was, again, dumbfounded, at first. Then i thought i will try to negotiate with them upon reaching Tapah, coz seriously, why on earth would anybody wanted to make this trip any longer? Since then, the road onwards was uneasy to me.

5.20 pm
Climax is here. Reached Tapah........

Me: Boleh masuk ke Kampar ke? Dekat je....
Driver: Tak boleh. Kita tak ada masuk punye.
Me: Megapa tak ada masuk kampar?
Driver: Kita memang tak ada.
Me: Mengapa? Tiket sana tulis Kampar....
Driver: Tak pernah la kita henti di Kampar, sangat jauh la...
Me: Tak jauh la, 15~20 minutes oni, lepas pergi Gopeng from Kampar another 15minutes oni...
Driver: Eh, adik, jalan lama mah, memang jauh....
Me: (I believe he seriously havent been to Kampar before and probably not intended to do so) Saya dah tinggal di Kampar for the past 20 years. Tak mungkin saya tak tau dan jalan tu memang tak panjang. 
Driver: Highway lebih cepat
Me: Highway masih 30km++ to Gopeng, at least 20+ minutes using highway, jalan lamaTapah to Kampar 15 minutes, Kampar to Gopeng another 15minutes, total, ard 30~35 minutes, 10minute + oni....
Driver: Aiya, tak boleh...bus kita memang tak ada masuk....
Me: Tapi, orang yg menjual tiket tu cakap ada... Tiket pun ada tulis! 
Driver: Sana punye orang mane boleh percaya punye, mereka itu ulat ma...
Me: Tapi agent bus kamu leh..
Driver: Tak boleh, not our responsibility, tu agent problem..

Thrs no way argue with the degil driver, so i thought calling his boss might be better.....but i regret doing so, cuz i was ok at first, a lil' anxious but under control, but then this fking boss will makes everybd mad i believe...lets give him a name...lets call him JERK.


Me: Hello, i bought ya ticket from Larkin, they said got letak at Kampar, but now the bus driver didn't do so. He said they didn't ever enter Kampar cuz the route hav been fixed.
Jerk: Tak boleh.
Me: Y? Y cant? Kampar is near oni leh. I got no ppl to fetch me in Tapah. Plus, it's raining now. Its hard to get bus here to Kampar ya noe?
Jerk: Tak Boleh la! Kita Memang tak ada pergi Kampar.
Me: But the ticket thr written Kampar...Ya agent said one wo!
Jerk: Tu Agent punye problem! Bukan kita punye masalah! Kita tak boleh masuk!
Me: Huh? Eh, agent kamu Selat Keris leh(the bus name)!? Itz ur agent, ur responsibility leh! 
Jerk: Tak boleh tak boleh! Kite memang tak ada masuk punye! U turun di Tapah lah! 
Me: U nak letak saya di sini tunggu until dunno wad time maybe till 7.00pm? Nobody cum fetch me eh! My family aren't free ya noe? My friend aso gt their things to do!
Jerk: Apa LanJiao la lu!? ^%%^$%#^&(*&^%%.......

WTF?! I havent started with any rude words and now u threw all those Lanjiao to me....I was totally furious, the conversation began with reasoning , to arguing, eventually to yelling.....I was totally lost control and the fiery "conversation" goes on and on......Then he simply gave up with the words .....apa lanjiao(sounds fading).....he cut off the line.
Urghh....i was panting afterwards and realised some passengers looked at me as if 911 is happening again, some looked at me like they are thinking i'm the poor kid kena tipu, kesianye..And the Malay girl started to worry whether they will got to Ipoh safely anot. I said: "Kena buat aduan...", she said: "Mesti buat!"

In the end, they put me at Tapah's Shell n my bro picked me up ard 6.00pm.....

Its my first time i seriously got pissed off by such a fking attitude. Duh? Who will tolerate when the jerk from Selat Keris keeps on calling u lanjiao n simply left u in Tapah when on ur ticket clearly written with the 6 letters, "KAMPAR"?

Lessons of the story, next time no more Larkin, or at least i should buy the ticket on my own. No more Selat Keris BKP 9018 from JB to Perak. Never got on anonymous bus even though the agent promised u will get to where u wanted to. They are, as the bus driver claimed, the Ulat.
