Transform and Roll Out!!!

Its been a while since i felt overly hyped for a movie. But then came The Transformers......i can't wait to see it and went ahead and bought the tickets today. I even got my tickets for the earliest show on Wednesday. Yeah...since i don't sleep in and i hate crowds, 9.30am would be a great time to see it. Wanted to do the midnight on the 3rd but don't think i can stay up that late these days. Oooooh....so hyped about it now!! Hehehehhee!! :p

Rascal sighting on the S3

Saw this little rascal behind my house yesterday.


Chase the rascal to get this pic....


Chase the rascal again to get another pic....


After chasing.....i felt tired...so i went to take a nap. :p

Death of a love in my life.

I have not update my blog for a few days because on Sunday, something unexpected happen. I wasn't expecting it to happen like this. I woke up to a bad news that day. I tried to hold back my shock but i couldn't. How can this happen to me? Why me of all people!! I started to question my existence and how unfair the whole thing is. After all these years with me, my love has finally left me without any warning signs. I question what am i going to do since my love has gone. I console myself and though of all the good times and bad time i have with my love. But i suppose all good things must come to an end sooner or later. People say one has to learn to let go and move on with live after loosing something dear. I will be strong and continue on with my life without my love.I didn't even had the opportunity to say goodbye.
I feel like crying but its ok......pain is part of the growing process. Sigh!! Live must go on and i will survive!!! :(...........My love gave me permission to find a new love if anything like this should happen.

So in 2 -3 weeks time......i am getting a new PC!! Kinda excited you know!!! :p

First photo attempt with my S3.

Dem impatient lot i tell ya!!! :p
Ok laaa....i went to the park a few days ago and took some shots. I've not fully explore things yet and taking it slow.

So.....you curious how far my camera zooms.....here's a sample.
Shot one....notice i mark my target in red.


I then did a full zoom....and here's what i got. How abot that!!! I really like the zoom on this camera. Like i said before....i can't wait for the next full moon and see how it turns out!!



Anyway, with zoom, i manage this shot of a man with his dog. I thought its a nice shot of them.



Next i took a shot of a down syndrome gal with her dog. I asked if i could take a picture of her dog and she just jumped right into the picture. Pretty cute situation.



I finally waited till the sun went down a little and snap the sunset of Puget Sound.



The next day....i tried my hands at macro shots......i learn soon afterwards that its not easy to take macro shots around my yard. Flowers are no more and pretty much everything is green.
Focus was really hard with macro but i'll figure out one day.


Dandelion by the fence.


Lastly.....took some shots of moss in the grass....dem pathetic hoor.......:p


So...thats my first shot with my S3. I am a total noob when it comes to photography so excuse me ya.

My new toy.......................

I have for a long time wanted to take up photography but have always decided against it because i find that the cost of purchasing a DSLR and pair of lens with a serious zoon, is a bit too expensive for my liking.I mean, its not to say i cannot afford it but i don't think i want to spend over 1k and end up not using it. Thus it explain why i decided to go ahead and purchase the Canon S3. Well, its not exactly DSLR but hey, for $300 buckaroos, 12x optical zoom and 6mp.....i think its ok for a noob to start off with. Personally, i think this camera does take fantastic photos and it has enough manual settings to give one a taste of taking up photography. For now, i am eagerly awaiting for the next full moon to appear so that i can test out its zoom potential.Who knows, if i think i can get into photography, i may just get a DSLR down the road. But for now.....let me start learning that process.

Wham! Bang! Whoosh!!

I thought this was a great video. Definitely will offend some people.

Something Sucks!!!

I was watching a musical program, Andrew Rieu, and he plays the most beautiful songs in his concerts. Then he played the Italian national anthem......truly a beautiful, beautiful song. Which leads me to this.....i think our national anthem of Mlsaaiya sucks!!! It sounds horrible compared to other nations....I recall them trying to make it sound livelier at one time but you know what....still sounds like shit. I cannot believe that we were force to sing that damn half dead monotonous piece of anthem. I bet you that are other nations anthem that sounds much-much worst but i've yet to hear it. I am not a musician but to even try envisioning how our national would sound good is impossible. Whoever wrote that song needs to get his bawls cut off and get shoved up his butt!!!

Origin of Gloomville

Originally, Gloomville was conceived on an idea in which i have, whereby i will have a site that will only have a picture of a little village viewed from a distance and the enviroment of that village will change according to the season and events happening around me. I can only visualize this on the top of my head but sadly......i am not an artistic person and thus unable to carry out this idea. The goal is that people will come to the site and see whats going on in the village for that day or week. You know, kinda like how Google change its logo according to events or celebrations. Anyway.....Gloomville came out because when i thought of that idea, it was fall and thus the word Gloom and Village came into the picture. So now you know......:)

The prank on my manager!!

Cerita Babi the return!!

Maaf ya....BM gua koyak tapi ada sikit cerita nak cerita sikit.
Jika anda ada baca blog ini manyak,manyak tahun dahulu.....gua ada cerita tentang babi butuh dalam ofis gua. You see......keep cerita pajang pendek, a few bulans ago, dia di-transfered to area cubical saya. Actually, babi itu belakang cubical saya. Saya tak peduli dia tapi dia suka main dia punya muzik. Muzik rock dan hip-hop yang buat saya tarak shiok. Mengapa? Kalau orang main muzik itu dengan certain level of volume, all saya dengar ialah itu bunyi macam orang ketuk at the wall. Celakak!!!! Saya sudah marah dia, request dia guna phone-telinga dan komplain kat boss....tapi babi ini tak henti-henti buat saya marah. Tapi hari ini.....boss saya suruh babi ini bungkus balik ke tempat lain di ofis. Muahahahahhahahahaaha!!! Gua berjaya tendang babi ini keluar dari tempat saya. Saya bukan jahat ok...tapi bila you nak kerja kat komputer tulis program, itu ketuk-ketuk sungguh irritating. Tapi hari ini.....manyak gembira....
Saya = 1 Babi = 0........muahhahahahahahhaha!!!!

Ok....Movie Tag!!!!

OK.....got tag by Lilian to share my 5 fav movies of all time.(i think),sorry for the delay ah.....hehehehe...now i do like these tagging as it gives me something to write about. Anyway....some honorable mentions of movies that i've considered putting in, among them....Back to the Future, Predator and Alien series, The Rock and a chinese movie The King of Masks.
Lets march on to my lists.




Shawshank Redemption!!! How could you not love this movie. I can watch it over and over and over again. The only reason i don't watch it too often is because it takes over 2 hours of my life. But when i channel surf and it happens to be on the air, i will surely take a look at it. :)




The Green Mile. Another gem from the writer of The Shawshank Redemption. The final scene with Mr.Jingles does put a tear in my eye. I know, i know....but hey....Purple D also got feeling you know. :p



Raise the Red Lantern. Absolutely one of the best pictures of all time. Surprise to see a chinese movie in the pickings leh? Gong Li did a fantastic job in acting and Zhang Yimou an excellent job in directing. If you hadn't seen it, you must see it.





Mr.Holland's Opus. I like this one because at its core, it tells how one person's life can touch so many.





ZOOLANDER!!!!! ZOOLANDER!!! ZOOLANDER!! Hhahahahaa......everyone i know hates it to death but i enjoy it to death. The sheer cheesiness and stupidity of it makes me laugh every damn time i see it. I know this movie was banned in Malaysia because it made fun of the Prime Minister but hey....how could you not laugh at male models. A must see in my book. Maybe i should pose the Blue Steel look one of these days for you all. :p

Alright....thats my lists and got no one to tagged. People i want to tag also kena tagged liao. Hisham and Sila....you both kena tag this one already or not??

My OtterBox

Ok...i've been swimming 3-4x a week and found it to be quite boring but in my quest to loose weight, i'll do whatever i can to keep my mind occupied while working out. So i got me one of these waterproof earphones.




Since i already got a iPod Nano, i went ahead and purchase an Otterbox. So does it work? Hell yeah!! Yup....now i am swimming with my fav. tunes.....and noooo......boy band songs are not in my playlist. It actually work pretty well and i believe i swim much faster these days. So if you ever wanted to swim and have some music, this solution works. Here are some other pictures.


The front of the Otterbox with the iPod in it.




The back of it with the belt clip. I basically clip it to the back of my shorts and let the headphones run on the back so it don't get in my way.



iPod fits snuggly in the unit.

Freeze dried durians

Ok...went to an asian store a week ago, walking around the aisle and saw this.



At first i was dem skeptical about it. But since it was USD$2.19.....nevermind laa...buy to try and see. Anyway, i didn't want to eat it in my office, so i waited till i get home. So as soon as i reach home, i quickly open up the package and tried it. Low and behold....tasted like the real thing. Taste wise, i would say that it tasted 100% like the real thing. This is how the dried ones look like.



Needless to say, the next day, i went back to the store and bought over USD$30 worth of dried durians. I did share with some office collegues and get interesting response from them. All in all, this is probably the next best thing to the real durians. As i type, i am gobbling down some and my breath smells like i just ate durians too. Hahhahahaha.....:p

A bit quiet hooor.....

Sorry for not keeping up with this on a weekly basis. A bit quiet hoor.... I guess i am too damn lazy to write down anything these days. But since Hisham tag me, i will have to list out the 5 things that I believe the lot of you do not know about me. Of course i won't tell my deepest and darkest secrets, that one i'll tell my wife only haaa....

Okidoki...here we go....

1) I sucked at accounting. During my college school days in Msia, i was the only fella that flunk my accounting. All the putting the transactions as credit and debit is not my cup of tea. But i did manage to pass it after i retake the test. Dem paiseh.

2) I am an early riser(No dirty thoughts here ok). I get up everyday at about 5.10am to get ready to go to work, but even on weekends, i end up getting up that early. When i tell my collegues that i get up that early in the morning, they just roll their eyes.

3) In all seriousness, i really don't like kids. Thats why i never think about marriage. I can't stand kids for long periods of time. 1 -5 hours maybe ok laaa...but more than that, beh tahan. Cute yes, annoying also yes.....and commitment scares the heck out of me. I think the thought that my wife will end up like Kg. Koh Ah Soh does not sink well with me.

4) I am responsible for the big write up in the newspaper in 91 about how prefects were elected in ACS. I think it caused quite a stir in school and that was one of my proudest moments in my life. But i did get busted though.

5) I do like some boy-bands songs. Dem...my super secret out liao!!!

I got nobody to tag...so no need to tah hoor...:P

Wiiiii!!! Toys!!!!!!

Ok.....i made a good chunk of change from the sale of the PS3's. Lets see, i sold it the morning i collected the unit and got paid on the spot. Whats sad was that, the very next day, the profit margin on Ebay for PS3's drop about $500 bucks. Total time, i hold the PS3's for about 20 seconds because the buyers wanted to follow me to the store to collect it.I guess i got lucky by dumping those ASAP before the price crash. But in any event, with the money i made, i bought a Nintendo Wii, a notebook and a future PS3 when its easier to get it on the market. Wiiiiiiii!!!!

My new Nintendo Wii....



Nintendo's controllers, a wii-more and nanchucks!!



My arms are actually sore from playing it because you move the controllers to trigger movement from the screen. Currently i am playing Zelda and its pretty fun.

And finally, my notebook.....

Playstation 3 update!!

Ooooh....this is very exciting. Since i put my PS3's online, i have been getting offers like mad. I won't say how much now coz i am closing the deal with people tomorrow.
But as of now, all i can say is that my profit is about 1 pay checks worth. Will update tomorrow. I've also ordered Nintendo Wii, and if that one is in demand also, i probably sell it as well. :)

Sitiawan mentality rawks!!!

Coming from a very money minded town....here is a story of a local Sitiawan boy's adventure in Seattle yesterday.Ok....i came back from the gym yesterday at around 7.15pm....put some smoked mussels into the microwave, ate my dinner and proceed to the computer. I checked some videogame bulletin boards and found out that videogame shops are taking pre-order for PS3 the next day. What did i do?? Out of curiosity......i called one of the shops and they told me that they are having a midnight pre-order and there was no line because not many people know about it. I literally stop forumming and dash out the door. I got to the shop at about 8.00pm and i was first in line. Whooo Hooo!!! Hang out with some really cool Uni kids there soon afterwards. Anyway, at 12.01 am......i got my orders in.

Anyway, i went home and went to bed. Got up at about 6.00am....shaved and shower, and am on my way to the mall again to go to another store to pre-order a PS3. Malls here opened up early for people to do morning walks in them. Thus after driving around the mall a couple of times, i ask security where is the entrance for the walking walks and was shown the way. Anyway, i turn the corner and Jeng! Jeng! Jeng! there was no one in line and i was first in line again!!!!! Life is good.

Now for those of you who don't know, new videogames launch are hot commodities during Christmas time. Xbox360 went for almost 3-4x its retail price on Ebay. So the reason i am doing this is i hope to make some extra money selling them. Its been predicted that price could go as high as $2000 for each console on Ebay. Too bad i can't be at 2 places at one time coz i would have ordered more. Oh....i put down $100 and the PS3 is going to cost $600. Oh....called my boss this morning telling him i am not coming in today. Hehehhehehehe.....

Got a free Ipod!! Yeeee Hawww!!

Got the new Ipod Nano 2G for free last week. How? Well, one of the banks here had a promotion whereby if you open a checking account with them,they give you one for free.
So i deposited in $50 and get a $150 dollar gift!! How cool is that??
Use to have an Ipod but sold it....but since this was free.....why not?
Ah....life is good!!! :)
