Random

8:07 AM and I'm fully awake God knows why. I haven't sleep yet.

Oh another movie, Drag Me to Hell yesterday fun movie but not my favourite. My brother insisted me to watch it so I gladly sat to see what it was about. A young woman was cursed and did all she could to save herself in midst of scary shadows and the old woman who cursed her. Some fresh ideas but mostly predictable.

My mom went to Kuala Lumpur for a meeting, she's coming back on Monday for a meeting in Kota Kinabalu. Need to fetch and send her to a hotel here. I suddenly missed her.

This entry is random. Nothing particular in mind. Often thought of writing something scholarly sound, informative packed with jargon words but never did. Maybe sometime later. Not yet matured at 22.


Movie Marathon

I did a movie marathon: Cidade de Deus ak.a. City of God (2002), Untraceable (2008) and Watchmen (2009) and now is 7:48 AM.

Benny in City of God
He's not the leading actor but I love him to bits. The movie is very interesting from the start till the end. One of my list of recommendation. Good movie really. It's based on a true story happened around 1960's in the slums of Rio De Janeiro.

This one is from Untraceable. Apart from cool things FBI did in this movie, I find it pretty ordinary but it didn't get boring like in the third movie I watched though. It's about a website untraceable even to the FBI 's cybercrime division. The feature of the website is live streaming killing on the internet. The higher the viewer, the faster the killing goes.

Well, Watchmen duration is nearly 3 hours! No wonder I became tired and bored that I don't care if they all died. My dad came sit watching with me and there it was, sex scene one after another. Why do movies have to have scenes like that, a brief one is okay but...well my dad got up and commented what kind of movie is this. He might as well pointing out cartoon-like superheroes dressed up ridiculously. Amazingly I waited and my dad too sat back then BOOM the great ending. All the pieces (which I thought were all stupid) came together, worth my 3 hours watching it.

Now, my bucket list no.5 is growing slowly but surely. By the way, I watched The Convenant (2006) on the AXN. Caleb is gorgeous I must say.

Caviar

I love fish roes (eggs). Popping saltiness inside the mouth to me is delicious (when eating sushi). But I love them fried too. Regardless of size, type of fish blah3 they all taste so good.


I suddenly went curious over Caviar, known it to be super expensive and yummy delicacy but never really thought about why it worth gold. So I read a little.

The most pricey and the best one comes from a fish species called beluga sturgeon (Sturgeon is black caviar the other one is red caviar from Salmon). They are found in Caspian Sea, between Russia and Iran. The older the fish, the more expensive it becomes for its rarity. So now we know why it's a luxury food.

Image from http://www.buybelugacaviar.co.uk. It says there "The most expensive and rare caviar in the world is Iranian almas caviar that is produced by the albino beluga sturgeon at an age only of 60-100 years old."

Price for Iranian Beluga Caviar (not the albino, the normal one):
50g tin £585.00 or around RM3271 *jaw drops*

Now there's cheap version of caviar in tubes and small jars. They even made it into cosmetic products. I prefer to eat them just so you know. People said caviar is one food you shouldn't miss before you die. I'll think about it.

p/s: I love chewy food like Nata de Coco and Sticky Corn (Heh I mean Jagung Pulut)

Post Panic Attack

Nope, it's not H1N1 thank God.

Settled few things so now is post panic attack.

  1. Called Bajet Mini to reconfirm that I get the sponsor(since I was paranoid my acceptance letter missing), yes it's totally confirmed
  2. Called Bendahari to confirm total payment upon registration, it's RM27 for medical fee
  3. Called 11th College to reconfirm my stay, confirmed but likely to get unwanted room
  4. Finally ordered new batch of Swarovski and stuff, paid RM130 (this time I didn't owe anybody)
So tomorrow need to go Pejabat Pendaftaran, my new I/C is ready. Paid RM10 to replace it because whatever chip inside the old one didn't function.

Post panic attack needs to sleep, now.

p/s: weird sensation to be back behind the wheel though it's only been a week

Pinawantai

Went to Pinawantai, Matunggong Kudat and just got back yesterday. Stayed overnight at my dad's house he rented because he is a teacher there (for a few months now). The place is nice but I've decided I cannot live in a village without TV.

Never occurred to me that today is the remaining 14 days before I depart to Kuala Lumpur.

OH MY GOD. I haven't done anything yet.

My dad is sick, I am too. We fear it is H1n1...without obvious symptoms?

p/s: panic attack

Learn As I Go

Got myself a new hobby, my dad's D300 camera.

The only basic thing I know from university days is about histogram and image quality.

p/s: I made a blog shop. Gimp, ImageShack and html coding are fun!

Mumbai Attack


Taj Mahal Hotel Mumbai (Image from Javno.com)

Discovery channel showed a story on Mumbai attack. Few months ago my brother brought home a downloaded version of this unfortunate event (don't remember who produced it). I am utterly speechless why isn't there any mention on the Turkish couple whom are spared because they're Muslims in the Discovery's version. They barely mention they are Turkish. By the way, both husband and wife are the survivors in the Taj Mahal Hotel Mumbai Attack.

I was waiting for them to unfold the event on how they recite a few lines in the Quran and at one point the terrorists acknowledge them as brothers and so kept them alive.

They want to fit the whole event in one slot of show time therefore cut the interview short? They decided if-you're-Muslims-you're-save isn't appropriate for public audience?

Well at least tell us why the couple wasn't shot dead like others with them. It leads to another whole idea when the wife described how she drew Pashmina over her head and shoulders to act as an innocent Muslim lady. I mean she was and is a Muslim.

Had Aladdin called me, I wouldn't splurt (What? Another urban dictionary again?) it all here. He don't even bother to use his house phone?
