New Pay arrived + Isetan Sale = Mad shopping dash in KLCC like a deranged maniac.

'Nuff Said!

Lethargy

OMG!

The temple of my head is throbbing like an off-tune Jamaican percussion.

My body aches all over as if I was up all night doing naughty, naughty stuff.

My temperature is rising to boiling point.

Why you ask ??

All because I decided to be *good* to my body for once and return to my gym schedule after a 1 week+ break (due to equal amounts of workload and laziness).

Verdammt!

That's the LAST time I break my regular schedule of 3-4 gym nights in a week, anymore...... falling of the exercise 'wagon' is SO easy but trying to get back on top to your regular stamina and endurance again is SO bloody hard leh!

Try imagining a grown, 24-yr old man crying his heart out as he shuffles pathetically on a treadmill...then cry out for his mom as he lifts weights on the bench-press.

Yeah..sad to say that was exactly what I did yesterday. :-p

Neways, this phase is normal for me now as I've stopped and re-started my fitness regime oh-SO many times....but I'd like to think that I'm making AT LEAST some headway, 'cos everytime I come back from 'gym exile' it takes lesser and lesser time for me to recover from the lethargy and get back to my usual endurance and stamina.

Pump, jangan tak pump bang! ;-p

A Gamer Like No Other

The stereotypical gamer (a person who enjoys playing games, mostly fantasy or science fiction based, in any format from board to card to even role-playing games) would be an overweight, non-hygienic, socially-repressed loser with the social skills of a five year old. They range from teenagers to even unmarried thirtysomethings.

Don't get me wrong, we get a LOT of those in our gaming circles in Malaysia (and despite the stigma, they're great people with inner warmth and charm....you just have to look past the glaring outer deficiencies ;-p)...but Leong Yu is one of a kind.

Here is a gamer who'd look normal in a smoky, flea-pit, rat-infested bar with his tough look and tattoo-ringed body, and BOY does he stand out among the regular geeky gaming crowd!

Leong Yu, Tattoo'd Gamer

When I interviewed him for my blog, my main curiosity was whether it hurt or not to have SO many tattoos. According to Yu, it stinged a bit for his first few tattoos but after awhile, he kinda got used to it and am now addicted to tattooing.

Left Arm

Most of the tattoos pictured here are still work in progress and are either missing their colours or still not intricate enough for his liking.

Right Arm

What's next for this multi-tattooed gamer ?

He plans to finish the tattoo he started on his tummy and gluteal muscles which if you can imagine, is done in the classic Maori tribal design. I offered to take a picture of the current work in progress on his chest and tummy but he declined shyly (I wonder why? ;-p) .

Under Arm

In closing, I asked what would happen to his tattoos if he ever gained weight (as you can see from the pics, he IS stick thin), he said they would still retain shape but only expand and look *blotty* since the ink would be dispersed on skin expanded by fat.

He offered to hook me up with a tattoo-artist friend of his with special discounts for me, but it is now my turn to shyly decline 'cos I am most assuredly scared as hell of needles! ;-p

Narcolepsy

Definition:
A disorder characterized by uncontrollable attacks of deep sleep.

A disorder that causes excessive sleepiness during the day and frequent and uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep

Narcolepsy is a neurological disorder of sleep regulation that affects the control of sleep and wakefulness. The four classic symptoms are excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations.


There.

Those are the definitions and explanations for the current problem I’m facing at work.

I dunno, maybe my body is just growing old (not a randy teenager with hyperactive energy anymore these days), maybe I’m just a lazy bastard, maybe I’m too fat that it’s affecting my health.

Whatever it is...I keep getting this sleep attacks at work during the day.

Not a workday goes by without me nodding off for 5-10 minutes every few hours or so.

Because I get in SO early at work around 7:30 AM (due to the nature of my job being a financial ‘news reporter’ who has to update the stockbrokers on yesterday’s news before the stock market opens at 8:30 AM)...I have to wake up bloody early (around 6AM) JUST to arrive at work in time.

And since I work so late I barely get more than 5 hours of sleep during the weekdays.

So I’m currently a walking zombie 5-days a week...slipping in and out of consciousness every few hours.

However, I’m afraid this would affect my relationship with my boss and other office mates.

They all have to wake up early as well and come in by 7:30AM and some of them leave the office late as well like me around 9 to 10 PM at night.

So why don’t they suffer from narcolepsy as well ??

I guess it’s high time I took an attitude change (less pushing work back until deadlines are due and be more proactive) AND start going to the gym again.

It’s been a week since I’ve hit the gym and I’m sure the running machine and weights are missing me oh-SO badly already.

Irony is, the next day after a gym session I’d feel fresh for a few hours (must be the excess adrenaline rush from the night before’s gym session) until after lunchtime, whereupon yesterday’s aches and the recent lunch meal would take its effect on me and put me into a comatose state as usual.

Ah well....better to doze off from healthy exertions than from lethargy innit ??

Back to the company gym it is then!

:-)

On Holiday

Took a 4-day weekend last week (starting from Thursday's public holiday) so was too busy enjoying life offline to actually be online updating my blog.

Will write in again sometime this week, now that I'm back in the office and *sigh* online 24-7.

Movie Review

Samara

It SUCKS dog’s bollocks.

There.

I’m done with my review of Samara...now let’s move on to the next movie.

;-p

Seriously though.....you people should STOP going to this kinda STUPID shows! Hollywood execs make their decision to greenlight a movie based on weekly box office takings. So as long as you morons out there continue to go to these kinda crap and let it finish with huge box office returns, then Hollywood will CONTINUE greenlighting these lame horror movies.

WTF ever happened to those old horror movies of the 80s that really sent chills up your spine and was chockful of gore that u felt like vomitting in the cinema ??

Jason, Freddy Krueger, Chucky, *sigh* even Smiley Face from the Scream series!

Where in the world are this great American horror legends ??!

Look...I know Americans are dumb and averse to going to a cinema and reading subtitles while the Japanese/Korean/Thailand/Asian actors talk...but NO ONE does suspenseful horror cinema as good as us Asians ‘k.

The only Westerners I’ve seen that can pull off suspenseful horror would be M. Night Shyamalan and the late,great, Alfred Hitchcock.

So Hollywood...please STOP translating these great Asian horror series (The Ring, Dark Water, The Eye, Ju-On)...... you morons build your horror movies differently!

In American horror stories...there’s always a chase...a fight b/w good and evil...a sequence where your pulse pounds rapidly as the big bad monster goes after the hero/heroine without anything being able to stop it UNTIL the hero/heroine suddenly figures out a way to stop it.

You see, American horror series are built like a roller-coaster....with thrills, spills and turns before u finally stop to catch your breath.

Asian horror however are more SUBTLE.

You see a glimpse of the ghost as it glides behind the hero/heroine/victim.

Snatches of an eye with long overflowing hair...shadows along a corridor...flutters of white cloth...

THAT’S how Asians make horror movies....it tenses up the audience and drive them crazy with anticipation...until that final moment when the monster comes out and tries to kill the hero/heroine before of course being outwitted.

So when u take a GREAT Asian horror movie that is SUBTLE yet spine-chilling and suspenseful to Hollywood...ur are as good as butchering the movie .

Americans are dense...they DON’T understand SUBTLETY...they don’t get turned on by the slow unraveling of the monster...the deliberate pacing that creates suspense and anticipation.

They want to see the monster there and then, right in front of them, running....chasing....the victim until he/she accidentally fall and gets killed in a most gore and horrific way.

So in summary Samara sucked ‘cos they tried to bring a great Japanese Trilogy to American soil...land of the dense and unimaginative!

If you want to really be scared out of your wits, I recommend you go find the original Japanese Ring (Ringu) trilogy from your nearest friendly neighbourhood DVD pirate.

Movie Review

Sahara

The first action adventure movie of Summer 2005 packs a punch indeed and can back up all its talk by walking the walk.

Sahara sets a bar of action adventure fun that all other summer movies this year have to aspire to. If all further movies this summer promises to be as exciting/informative/funny as Sahara...then we’re in for a good summer of cinema indeed!

This movie manages to pull off that rare feat where on the surface it is sold as an Indiana Jones style adventure (going in I thought it was going to be an Indie rip-off) yet manages to charm the audience with its extra subplots. It’s part buddy movie, part rom-com, part environmental message, part social/moral reality and of course part Indiana Jones/James Bond action adventure.

First time film maker Brent Eisner (son of Michael Eisner) manages to bring the Clive Cussler novel to life and make you believe in Dirk Pitt’s (Matthew McConaughey) world.

The movie starts really slow in the first 30 minutes as it introduces us to each character and how they end up joining together on their current rag-tag adventure. The cool thing is, as the movie develops...you start believing in these characters...it’s not just actors & actresses spouting lines... you believe that there’s a past b/w Dirk and the Admiral and his buddy.

U can feel that they’ve been on numerous adventures and we viewers are just lucky to be brought along on their latest ride.

Plus Penelope Cruz is believable as a U.N./WHO aide who’s researching the cause of a plague currently sweeping Africa. The banter between Penelope and Mconaughey doesn’t get too sickly sweet or unrealistic and their relationship moves along at a realistic pace (seeing as to how they ARE in a poverty stricken, plague infested part of Africa, there’s little time for romance).

Brent Eisner excels again when he wows the audience with his beautiful shots of desert vistas, ancient cities hewn deep into mountains and majestic African/Middle Eastern based cities.

It felt as though you were watching Discovery Channel / National Geographic at the same time as an action adventure judging by the beautiful vistas and pseudo-science environmental plot.

In summary, Sahara is one rip-roarin, wild action adventure with a dash of buddy movie and romance and a sprinkle of Discovery Channel science / National Geographic documentary. Just withstand the SLOW first 30 minutes and I promise you all a great time at the movies!

Friday Night Fever

The BEST things in life are usually NEVER pre-planned.

Candid

I had the most *FUN* time last Friday night (in quite awhile I must say) just doing regular mundane stuff like sharing a dinner and movie with a group of colleagues.

Tiga Dara Pingitan

It sure was interesting to spend time and actually get to know these ppl outside of their ‘work persona’. Without the confines of the office, I realised there’s more to them than I previously imagined. Like peeling away the layers of skin on an onion to reveal more layers to be discovered & dissected! :-p

It’s been great peeps and god-willing we’ll go out and do it again sometime, eh ??

Gay Kiss ;-p

P.S. Shahrir is slated to be married next year, so we all give him free reign to experiment and hit on us before he becomes a married man. Not that I’d fall for his charms in the first place neways! ;-p

Shahrir Poyo!

The Idiocy of Malaysian Parliament

 Subject: MPs turned on by 'sexy' uniforms of MAS stewardesses
 Malaysia Kini News > >Date: April 14, 2005
 By Pauline Puah

Apr 14, 05 6:28pm:
The 'sexy' uniforms of the Malaysian Airlines (MAS) stewardesses became a form of an 'aviation offence' at the Parliament sitting this afternoon with several members of parliament (MP) claiming that the presence of female cabin staff could lead to rape.

Idris Haron (BN-Tangga Batu) said the sexy uniforms of MAS stewardesses would arouse the sexual desires of male passengers. "Their sexy dress, make-up and voice will make the male passengers uncomfortable, especially during the boring flight journeys," he said during the debate for the Aviation Offences (Amendment) Bill 2005.

He said in a worse case scenario, male passengers who 'had seen sexy girls on the streets would release their frustration onto the MAS stewardesses. "If we have left our house unlocked and later it was burgled, then who should be blamed? The burglar or the owner?" he asked, adding that MAS had to differentiate between 'sexy' and 'pretty' when it came to their stewardesses' uniforms.

He pointed out that the current uniform design was one of a '...low cut at the top and a high cut at the bottom'.

Rallying behind Idris was Salahuddin Ayub (Pas- Kubang Kerian) . He said from his observation, the stewardesses were very shy and '... had to cover their cleavage with their hands' when they served food to male passengers'.

"MAS should consider altering the uniforms of the stewardesses. We are normal human beings. Sometimes it is not only that men will tackle women, but that women will also tackle men," he added.

Dr Mohd Hayati Othman (Pas-Pendang) agreed with him and said that MAS should not allow uniforms that exposed the legs.


'Debate with knowledge'
However, the male MPs' remarks on the uniforms of MAS stewardesses irked female MPs from both sides of the House.

Chong Eng (DAP-Bukit Mertajam) said the male MPs should not be talking like ' ... how people talk in the pasar (market) and coffee shops'. "We have to debate based on knowledge. Tangga Batu you are so highly educated and had studied abroad. On this aspect, can you be more open? How can you say that when you see a sexy woman, you would think of releasing your frustration?" she thundered. She stressed that whatever clothes a woman wore, it should not be an excuse for raping her.

Tan Lian Hoe (BN-Bukit Gantang) also expressed her dissatisfaction over the atiitude of the male MPs. "I don't feel comfortable when you say that women have to be blamed because they are pretty and sexy. If you have a strong belief, you should not be so easily aroused," she said. However she concurred that “When the male passengers board a plane, all they tend to look at are the stewardesses' breasts. This shows that they do not have strong values!”

Dr Rozaidah Talib (BN-Ampang) said the more significant issue that needed to be addressed was the serving of alcohol on MAS flights and not the dress of their air-hostesses. "The issue of alcohol should be more important. If you have had alcohol, than even clothes which are not tight would be seen as very tight," she said.

The only male MP who supported the female MPs was Bung Moktar Radin (BN-Kinabatangan). He said uniforms should not be an issue in debating the security of the country's aviation system. "They were some women who wore denim pants but have also been raped. So the issue in this debate should be how to enhance the service of MAS," he said. "I normally don't agree with Bukit Mertajam. But in this matter, I think I agree with her," he added cheekily.

Just wtf is WRONG with our elected members of parliament that TRIVIAL matters like this gets debated instead of more pressing issues such as the ringgit peg, state of broadband penetration in suburban areas, the succes/failure of teaching Maths & Science in English, etc. etc.

And those are just off the top of my head!!!!

Are our MPs only good for discussing trivial matters and sleeping during parliamentary sessions??

>:-(

Kids These Days!

*Sigh*

I feel SO old. :-p

Aziff the Smart-Ass

Kids these days do the darndest things!

Just last weekend, I was spending some time with these kids I know as neighbours and damn do I feel old among them.

Do u ever remember while u were growing up how adults would make comments like:

When I was your age we didn't have SO and SO and we still survived!

And then the old fogey would go on and on lecturing about the good ;ol days and how modern times have corrupted us young 'uns.

Well...I guess I'm an old fogey nowadays 'cos I went into the exact same tirade last weekend when I learnt that the cute neighbour kid above (Aziff) just recently got a top of the line, state of the art camera phone as a present from his father.

And this kid's ONLY 9 yrs old.

It's not that I'm jealous or anything (o.k. I admit it i AM jealous of that lucky lil' sonova....), but I worked my arse off to get my Nokia 6630, coming in to work on weekends; working overtime until it's 1 Am before I leave the office, moan, bitch, moan, bitch, moan....

And this cheeky lil' kid had the balls to walk up to me last weekend and say;

Hey Boy! Come over here...I want to take a picture of you with my NEW camera phone!

Whereupon I went into the the regular old fogey tirade:

Wtf !

When I was your age we didn't have this kinda cocakamamie doohickey gadgets like u lucky, lucky kids nowadays!

We get by with stringing two tin cans together and pretending we were commandos in the deep woods of Vietnam. The sound and clarity was crap but we sure as hell survived!

It's parents who pamper their kids that's what's wrong with the country today. You all are going to grow up and be spoiled brats who don't want to work menial labour jobs and prefer to be unemployed while we have to find foreigners to come over and deplete our economy as they send our ringgit back home to their families!

To which the kid then replied with:

*Sob* *sob* Huaaaaaaaaaaaaa as he ran back crying to his parents.

Well....so much for being a social-guardian then.

I think I'll just keep my thoughts to myself in the future.

:-p

P.S. These kids sure are a cute bunch tho' innit ??

Team Rocket!

Luncheon with Bad-breakup Gal

Well....it was going to happen sooner or later.

Since we both worked for the same firm and share relatively the same pool of officemates, it would only be inevitable that we’d bump into each other at one luncheon or someone’s birthday celebration, etc.

Neways, I gotta say Azrael & DeAngelo’s ideas (for more on Azreal & Deangelo, read the following posts here and here.) worked and managed to give me enough confidence to survive lunch. It cleared my mind and allowed me to see things as they are in reality:

I was a wussy guy that didn’t understand the meaning of NO! and carried on pestering this woman until she had no other option but to let her boyfriend loose on me.

Heh heh...funny how u can lie to yourself about reality until the threat of a knuckle sandwich pummeling ur face wakes u up from said fantasy.

Then again, I’m thankful for the events that’s gone on this past year.

Granted I was a jerk, and I did EVERY possible wrong thing that you can do to a woman to push her farther away instead of closer.

Yet it was an education in what NOT to do to a woman the next time around..

No one goes thru life without fcuking up, non ?

I just had the misfortune of fcuking up BIG time and the reminder will continually exist every time I go out for lunch/dinner/clubbin' with the gang ‘cos she’ll be there.

Lunch yesterday was kinda stilted in some instances and awkward for both parties (‘cos she can’t stand the sight of me and won’t acknowledge me or speak to me; and fun to me ‘cos I couldn’t care less and persist in joking around with the gang as though nothing happened.)

Judging by yesterday’s luncheon, it’ll be a long and rocky road for me to gain the trust of the gang again (why do they ALWAYS side with the woman?? There’s two side to every story, brah!).

One thing for sure tho’, it promises to be an exciting future of luncheons and events for an only-until-recently excommunicated office hermit.

;-p

S.O.S. Shima!

Heyheyhey!
Hey y'all,

I just noticed one of my recent posts got a comment (check out my Man/Woman blogpost) from a reader named Shima who purportedly is my ex-school mate.

I don't want to sound desperate or anything (when in actuality, i DO look desperate doing this :-p) , but at least leave me a way to contact you-lah Shima.....

Apa cerita just drop a comment just like that??

Tease!

;-p


P.S. You will NOW comment to THIS post here and leave your mobile phone no., house address, work address, and other relevant personal data so I can get to know you better!

P.P.S. And thank you, my entries are intentionally funny 'cos laughing at the shite life hands you is WAY better than moaning/bitchin about it.

The irony is other people's misery is ALWAYS funny to everyone else BUT the victim. :-)

Malaysia Boleh!

This is an example of the Malaysia Boleh! (Malaysia Can-Do-It!) Attitude taken to the extreme. :-p

The Star Newspaper (01/04/05)
Pirated software exported worldwide
BY JOHAN FERNANDEZ

NEW YORK: Malaysia is the largest exporter of pirated entertainment software in the world, according to the 2005 National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers (NTE) by the US Trade Representative's (USTR) office.

The report said that Malaysia's production capacity for CDs and DVDs exceeded local demand by 10 to 20 times and this surplus was exported globally.

Pirated products believed to have originated in Malaysia have been found throughout the Asia-Pacific region, North America, South America, Europe and Africa.

It called for better enforcement of licensed and unlicensed production facilities and a concerted effort to reduce the outflow of pirated goods from Malaysia.

The annual report, released in Washington DC on Wednesday, said that Malaysia had tightened its laws on the protection of intellectual property with laws like the Optical Disc Act 2000.

However, it felt that this law should be modernised to ensure inspection covers all locations where optical media production may occur and also include as offences such acts as "gouging" or tampering with the serial identification codes and "burning' of recordable discs.

It highlighted the Malaysian Government's efforts to reduce trade in pirated goods and the special task force chaired by the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister which had overseen the expansion of enforcement staff and a more rigorous programme of raids on sellers of pirated goods.

The International Intellectual Property Association estimated that last year Malaysia's industrial losses due to piracy stood at US$188mil (RM639.2mil).

The report credits Kuala Lumpur for making progress in prosecuting manufacturers and vendors of pirated goods.

It highlighted the arrests of owners of four factories suspected of producing pirated VCDs and the shutting down of six illegal factories as well as progress in tackling the judicial backlog for infringement cases.


In the first 10 months of last year, 160 cases went to trial with 51 cases recording the guilty plea.

"Police and legal authorities are generally responsive to requests from US firms for investigations of copyright infringement."

"But much work remains to be done in educating the general public about the value of intellectual property rights," the report said.

Man/Woman

The world’s pretty fcuked up these days.

Man/Woman relations have degenerated SO much in this modern day and age that it’s turned into this mockery....this farce...this GAME.

And no one person is to blame for it.

Instead it’s a host of multiple events that happened in the last 50 years from the freedom of women to enter the workplace and ascend to truly be a man’s equal; to men’s current emancipation in all sectors of industry.

I know, I know, all you femi-nazis out there are literally pulling your hair out right now at that chauvinistic comment I just made. But settle down and hear me out for awhile o.k.

I’ll admit it that MEN are dumb and lazy...we’re the weaker of the species when it comes to intellect. However we make it up with strength and a sense of direction.

In olden times and civilizations, it has served us well because the world was still an uncharted territory; with promise of adventure, riches and glory for those bold enough to venture out and conquer.

So naturally men made most of the leaders during those era.

But after World War II and as women gradually gained freedom of equal education and entrance into the workplace, the playing field has been leveled. Nowadays you can see more women in higher ranking jobs of influence and power and this has somehow affected the collective unconscious of men worldwide.

No longer are we the dominant person in a relationship.Instead 5 out of 10 relationships would have the female companion being the breadwinner of the family.

Now you must be thinking where the fcuk is this women-hating bastard going with this ??

The point I’m trying to make is....the current social strata have somehow affected the collective men’s ego and we are MOSTLY turning into WOMEN !

As more women take control of their lives and sometimes become the dominant person in a relationship (hey I have nothing against freedom of education and women in the workplace o.k....my beef is the side effect it has on men), men are gradually turning wussier and wussier.

Instead of being confident, self secure and independent....most men I know are sad shells of themselves. They’re insecure, needy and don’t have enough confidence to get out there and get a woman worthy of them.

Instead they obsessively spend their time being the weak minded losers, kissing the ground their current love-interest / stalker-target steps on. (sad to say I used to do this myself for the past 6 months until ONLY recently). Men GIVE the controls of the relationships to the women they are enamored with, and when the women do not return their affections, men just wallow in self pity and ask: Is there something wrong with ME ??

I’ve been in the company of countless women (friends only-lah) and I noticed sometimes their mobile phones would go off yet they would refuse to answer. When I prompt them jokingly who’s on the other side...they say it’s some obsessive loser who don't understand the meaning of no & they’re trying to avoid.

Just to give you an example, I was at a club once and this lady’s phone kept ringing 23 times that night! Turns out it was this guy, the lady was stringing along to pay for all her expensive tastes whenever she felt like it. But that night she was partying all night long with us banker guys and couldn’t care less about that other guy.

WTF ?!

Guys! STOP giving away your POWER to women and letting them trample all over you!

Have a little respect for yourself for fcuk’s sake!

Since WHEN did EVERY point of your existence hinged on the say so of ONE woman ??

There’s 6 billion humans in the world and the proportion of man to woman is 1:2 or 1:3.....

So STOP being a wuss/loser and GET OVER whichever women is giving you hell right now... after all, there’s another few million women out there just waiting to manipulate/control/love you for who you are..... :-p

If things aren’t working with the woman in your life right now...MOVE ON !

Stop hurting yourself and get some balls so you can show everyone that a woman is not a pre-requisite in your life....you can exist without a woman, fine...they are simply an addition to your already wonderful life; NOT something that you NEED in order to feel complete.

THAT is the mindset u need to go thru life guys...and I promise u once u have that....you’ll be a more confident, independent and self secure version of you...which ironically enough attracts women!

:-p

Dedicated to all the wussy/loser men out there.

Retail Therapy

Aaaaaaaa.......*Zzzziiiip-SLASH* *teet*teet*

D’ya know what that sound was ?

It’s the sound of my credit card being put to it’s actual use in quite awhile after months of being neglected.

I decided to combat my current spate of depression from overwork by doing a bout of retail therapy.

Grab life by the balls and charge everything to the card!

Buy ‘em all and let’s sort ‘em bills later! :-p

I gotta say it’s quite a refreshing experience for once. The surge of adrenaline high as you contemplate the purchase and compare prices from other outlets. The rush of jubilation as you find a better deal farther down the mall. The secret celebration as you scan your latest purchases.

Oh...and if ur wondering wtf did I spend all that moolah on neways...being a regular guy...of course-lah it would be on tech gadgets!

I finally knuckled down and forked out money for the latest Nokia 6630 phone a few weeks back . After lugging around a shameful 6-yr old Nokia 3210 (I was so ashamed that I wouldn’t pick up the phone in public :-p), I decided wtf....might as well buy the latest streamlined model innit ?

My Nokia 6630 :-)

After that, I splurged on a stack of graphic novels at Kinokuniya since I haven’t made any purchases in the past 6 months so I was kinda behind on the collections. Can’t wait to crack open those books and start reading what new plot contrivances has my favourite comic book writers cooked up.

To top it off, I decided to fulfill my tech geek dream and buy an Ipod Mini at the PC Fair recently.

My Ipod Mini

So now I’ll be more *wired* and be able to listen to music wherever I go and take pictures whenever it strikes my fancy ‘cos the Nokia 6630 comes with a handy 1.3 megapixel camera as well.

Just check out some of the earlier Singapore pics below...not bad for a 1.3 megapix camera innit ?

Hmmmm...now I kinda GET why women LOVE shopping so much!

I only wonder how they face the end of the month however once the credit card bills start pouring in??

Looks like I’ll be eating Maggi for the next few months judging by the bills I received in the mail yesterday!

:-p
