N95 8GB

This is the latest Nokia N95 8GB. My new dream phone. It has all the same key features of its predecessor, the N95, except that this has eight gigabytes of built-in memory, new luminous 2.8" QVGA display, and its now black. It really is beautiful. But its not out yet. But it's coming. Soon. Real soon.

On Friday morning, went to a workshop to change two tyres on my car. It was long overdue anyway. I even asked them to service my car, and they even serviced the throttle body, which finally solved the car's problem of dying whenever I change from third gear to second gear. Not always, but often enough to make it a problem for me and my beloved.

On Saturday morning, went to meet up with my beloved's friend in Putrajaya. Since we were in the neighborhood, went shopping in Alamanda immediately after. The last time we went there was to celebrate my birthday with a bunch of my uni friends. Bought some stuff for the house and for the car.

Got back home, and slept till evening. After that, went to break fast at my parents' place. My brother and his family was there as well. Had our fill of 'nasi tomato' and chocolate cake and 'ayam goreng berlada' and some fruit concoction. And after all that, I was stuffed. The first time I've been that stuffed in Ramadhan.

Birthdays And Weddings Part 2

The continuation...

After the birthday party, we went to my parents' house for tea. But by that time we were full, so we just had tea, and took my mum's famous "shepherd's pie" home.

Around 6 something, my best buddy came over with his girlfriend and they had high tea at my house. Yes, we had my mum's famous "shepherd's pie". After that, we went to Wisma Sejarah for our school mate's wedding. The thing was, I really couldn't remember our friend's face. At all.

But when we got there and I saw him, I totally remembered him from our old school days. Although we weren't close friends, he invited me. And that made me feel good. At the wedding, my best buddy and I met our old friends and we exchanged phone numbers. With promises to keep in touch. Went back home in time to see the last two hours of "Anugerah Era 2007".

The next morning, wiped my car clean, since it rained on the way to my friend's wedding. Lazed around at home till around 5, when we decided to drive around. My daughter was excited with the prospect of going for a drive. Finally we ended up at Ampang Point, and bought our dinner there.

Birthdays And Weddings Part 1

It's been a very eventful weekend. On Friday night, went to the new Tesco Cheras to get some wedding presents and a birthday present. We were shocked to see so many people waiting in line to get a parking space. Luckily for us, we got ours a few minutes after entering the premises. The place used to be Makro, but somehow, Tesco managed to make the whole building look bigger than it used to. We were there for a few hours and got everything we came for.

On Saturday morning, washed and polished the car. Was sweating buckets by the time I was done. Good morning exercise for me. Then after lunchtime, went to my beloved's colleague's house for her daughter's birthday party.

About the birthday party. We were the second couple to arrive at the house. So, I got to seat at the couch while my beloved was sitting on the floor with her colleagues. After that, the house slowly became packed with people. One of them was this parent I met once upon a time ago when I was out with my beloved and her colleagues. And this parent still remembered me.

She gave me this big smile and came to greet my beloved and I. Then she sat next to my beloved and started chatting away. After a while, it was time for us to eat. Since no one was moving towards the food, my beloved and I stood up and attacked the food first. Yes, we are shameless in that sense. Hahaha.

As I was enjoying my 'mee bandung', the parent came and sat next to me. My beloved smiled and said something to the parent, who then told my beloved that she was just going to borrow me for a while. I smiled sheepishly and concentrated on my food. We then started talking about things when I felt someone looking at me.

You know how you can feel when someone is eyeballing you. So when I looked up, I saw my beloved's colleague looking at me, smiling. I smiled back and she said something to my beloved which got my beloved laughing and retorting back saying, "That's dangerous, you know". Uncomprehending what had just happened, I continued my conversation with the parent.

Apparently, the parent's husband is a lawyer by profession and has his own construction company. No wonder the parent is so rich, I thought. She then told me that her husband is launching a new housing area somewhere in Gombak. I asked her where it was exactly as I was quite familiar with the Gombak area. She started explaining it to me by trying to draw an invisible map on her thigh with her finger. Then she changed her mind and started drawing the invisible map on my thigh!

I sorta freaked out when I saw what she was about to do.

Books Books Books

These are just a few books I've read over the years. But my favourite all time book is still Haruki Murakami's Dance Dance Dance.


Whoever loves to read should check out Shelfari. This website is something new.

Psych

A couple of weeks ago, saw an old friend on Yahoo! Messenger. She went missing from my friends' radar since almost two years ago. When I suddenly saw her icon on my buddy list, I messaged her and asked her how she was and we started chatting about stuff. Then out of the blue, she asked me about my best buddy. I told her that he was fine and still single. Before we ended our chat session, I got her number and got my best friend to contact her again. And now they are seeing each other on a regular basis, much to my delight.

Saw 'Psych' last night on AXN with my beloved. And we extremely love the series. It's funny and fun, and very entertaining. Nothing much more to say about the series. You got to watch it to believe it.

Perfect Strangers

Last night, it was raining heavily. I mean, really really heavily. It started around 6pm and it didn't stop till around midnight. And because of that, we had to watch dvds. Since Astro doesn't work when it rains. Bummer huh.

So, last night, we saw The Simpsons Movie and Perfect Strangers. The Simpsons, as usual, was hilarious. I like the part where Bart had to skate naked and his wiener was being covered by everything you can think of, all along the way, except for this short portion where they actually showed his wiener. Funny stuff. As for Perfect Strangers, it's a good murder mystery movie. And the ending is quite shocking.

My friend made it into the papers today, as her futsal team won 1st runner up in the Karnival Wanita Futsal i-Metro, which was held a few days ago. Since I had lunch with my parents today outside the office, took the opportunity to buy a copy. Then I made my friend sign the paper. Who knows, she might be famous one day and the copy could be worth millions.

After having lunch with my parents, we went to GH to visit my aunt. She just had an operation yesterday, and I wanted to see how she was. My parents had already seen her after her operation. Hope she gets well really soon.

28 Weeks Later

Happy Merdeka Day, Malaysians!!! On Thursday, a day before the Merdeka celebration, I got back home early just to wait for the Astro guy to come and fix the dish on top of the house. Yes, I have finally gotten Astro. And now I can't get enough of it.

Recently, I think it was about a couple of weeks ago, my good friend from the office entered a karaoke competition held by the Arts Club here in the office. And the event was fantastic. I really enjoyed the thing. Though my friend didn't make the final three. He got a small trophy and a certificate.

The winner was this really talented girl from another department. And she was a truly talented singer. Though she could improve on her performance. All she did was smiled at the audience and wriggled her shoulders at us. She looked cute doing that, no doubt. But she could have done better, I think.

Just saw '28 Weeks Later' and it rocks!!! I really love the movie. Especially the scene where one guy was being chased by a field full of the infected. I can feel the victim's horror at being chased. Dang!

I even saw 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer'. And I definitely prefer this one compared to the first movie. I saw another movie recently but I just can't remember what it was. A-ha! I just remembered. It was 'The Bourne Ultimatum'. And as usual, it's a cool movie. Though I don't know which Bourne movie I prefer.
