Pixar's Up Movie Promo with Nuffnang

2009-07-17T23:25:00.003+08:00

The month of August is set to be the month where Nuffnangers get to enjoy the most movie screenings ever in a month. However, I'm not gonna spoil your surprise by spilling out the other 3.

As you may have already noticed from the title of this post, I'm revealing Up by Pixar studio as one of the movie screenings for Nuffnangers courtesy of Buena Vista Columbia Tristar Sdn Bhd.

The Premiere Screening of Up will take place on;

Date : 11 August (Tuesday)
Time : 9pm
Venue : Cathay Cineplex Damansara

That's 9 days before its actual release date!

Well here's a short synopsis about Up;

Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life. “Up” takes audiences on a thrilling journey where the unlikely pair encounter wild terrain, unexpected villains and jungle creatures.

Not exactly the best synopsis if you ask me. But do check out the official trailer below.

Yes I know it looks fun but it's like not so promising, eh?

It seems to me that the movie is about an old man, a fat kid, a talking dog and a funny bird. That's all. But come on, I doubt Pixar would come up with something silly and get bashed by audiences, right?

Up has been released in the US since end of May and I've heard all praises and no critics about it so far citing that it's one of the best movie of the year. Definitely something you don't expect from the trailer above, right? I'd really love to watch if the compliments from the movie critics are genuine or false.

Along with the trailer, I was also passed with a few Wilderness Exploring Tips from the movie Up. I really like the tip on how to trap a snipe below.

If you like that, you should check out First Aid, How to Build a Tent and When Nature Calls.

Now that I've shared so much details about Up, you must be thinking that I'm giving out tickets here, right?

Sorry, I'm not. Lol. But I can tell you who are giving them out though. KY has already finished giving his out this morning barely an hour after he posted on his blog. But there are 3 more bloggers giving out tickets for this promo.

They are Timothy Tiah, Fourfeetnine and Akiraceo!!

Now go stalk their blog everyday and get tickets from them.

Till then, Up, up and away!!

Excited for Up

Eat Eat Eat in Melaka

2009-07-15T22:09:00.004+08:00

I didn't manage to take much pictures in Melaka because;
- My camera's battery went dry. Forgot to charge them. FML
- I forgot to bring my phone charger. My phone battery last 1 day on average. FML again.
- Zach's phone ain't that good for photos. Besides, he doesn't like me using his phone that much and I dislike using things belonging to others.

As a result, there are very few photos from Melaka which has me in it. I may or may not share it in the posts to come (because some of them shows my ugly angle).

Let's continue shall we?

2PM
After watching some Bollywood movie about some Love Guru, Zach and I decided that ~~it wasn't time to shag yet so~~ we should head out to Jonker Walk and have a walk. Tried calling the others up only to find out that they're already out and they didn't call me because they thought I'm busy discussing quantum physics with Zach. FML.

Walked out and found that the freaking place is filled with tourists!! And I'm one of them!!! Hahaha. Feels nice to be a tourist and everything that requires money out of my pocket, I'll consider thrice if I'm about to be cheated. Lol.

Found Nicholas and the gang eating cendol at the famous stall. By the time I reached that stall, they've done they massacre on their ices.

2.45PM
SG Nuffies arrived finally. Nicholas went back to hotel to pick them up.

Akiraceo and Jasonmumbles, the 2 local boys in Melaka came and joined the Nuffies in our makan trip. These 2 local boys are the best if you ask me. They have jalan with all the restaurants owners, people from the roadside, gangster, durian orchard owner and etc etc. Fuyoh!!

We went to queue up for 1 of the Chicken Rice Ball shop as the queue was starting to get long. When we were just about to enter, we got a call from Nicholas asking us to go another place for lunch. We canceled our order and went with them just to find out that the other shop was close. In the end we went back to the same place half and hour late just to find the queue much longer. FML.

But we still got to eat the chicken rice ball though.

Verdict - I think Ipoh's chicken is better, but the rice balls were nice to try and bite on no doubt. But I constantly reminded myself that they're carbs!! They fucking make me fat!!

Boss Ming bought us lunch and in return we thanked him using the student-greeting-teacher way in the restaurant. We went;

"Thank you Boss Ming!!"

in front of every other customers dining in the restaurant. Lol.

4PM
We lepak around near Jonker and took pictures. Sadly I only managed to have 1 picture taken.

Then it rained so we rushed back to the hotel.

5.30PM
Not even 2 hours after Chicken Rice Ball late lunch, we went out again for food. This time it's Satay Celup. It's something like Lok-Lok but instead of eating by the roadside, you're sitting around the table and dipping the sticks into a boiling pot of sauce. It's quite unique but the taste was pretty average though.

Obviously not my pretty angle and I'm so generous to show it to you. FML.

7PM
We got back to Jonker Walk and started to explore the night market. The street was totally different from when it was in the afternoon. The place was packed just like Petaling Street except that the people here are less likely to cheat you as much as the ones in Petaling Street. Somehow I think the vendors there were more honest (though they still marked up the price as they need to make money).

I bought a few souvenirs for my ~~adulterer~~ parents and sisters. Zach bought some stringy stuff that you wear on your wrists for me and himself too. ^_^

10PM
We rendezvous at the hotel at this time before we went for another round of makan. Tandoori chicken at some mamak called Putra something. FML, I was so worried I'm gonna be fat.

Fuck!

I think this has got to be the most boring entry I ever blogged about. Screw this timeline thingy. I'm skipping it.

Next we went clubbing at PureBar where it was kinda like a lalaclub, but the music were cool. Jestina, Doria, Akiraceo, Firdauz, Vernice, me and Zach were the only ones dancing the entire night. The rest stayed outside and played drinking games till they were very high. This ended the night for Saturday.

Fuck! A day with 6 main meals and beers as the finale. I'm so screwed!! T_T

-----------------

The next day we woke up, had our breakfast before we check out. Barely an hour after breakfast, we went for lunch at some Nyonya restaurant and ordered dishes. The plan was for me to have durian buffet at the orchard right after this initially. But when Jasonmumbles came and joined us, he broke a freaking bad news.

The orchard owner is a friend of his and gave him a call that a bus of Singaporeans came to his orchard and bagged every single durian from his orchard, loaded on the bus and went back to Singapore. FML!!!

So I kinda whacked a little bit more on the lunch than expected. Guess what? After the lunch they went to buy dessert!! Ice cream cake!!! FML again!! Lol.

I whacked that as well and by then I was totaled and had to be wheel-barrow back to KL (on Nicholas' car).

I was really really disappointed not being able to eat Cibei No 7. :(

That could be my first time tasting Cibei (pun intended).

But all in all, I think the Melaka trip was awesome despite the eating extravaganza. It's because of the Nuffies' presence. I think we enjoyed spending time together, getting to know each other better, dancing with each other and of course eating!!

Nuffies, let's do this again some time soon, okay?

Enjoyed Melaka but didn't eat Cibei No 7,
Robb

Late Nuffies >:(

2009-07-14T09:32:00.005+08:00

Melaka trip with Nuffies was awesome because of the company!

We had everything planned out from A-Z where A-Z refers to all the food available in Melaka. Fuck, calories! Lol.

Let's start with Saturday morning.

7.30AM
Woke up, packed my stuff, ~~wanked~~ bathed, styled my hair and bid farewell to Zuzu. Zuzu was giving us some pity stares asking us not to leave him at home. I wanted to bring him along, but Zach said no. Zuzu, it's not my fault yea? Zaza don't want to bring you to Melaka.

8AM
Left my house and headed out. Had a hunch that my bastard colleagues are going to be late and not taking breakfast would be suicidal. Went to Genting Klang market to eat their nice curry mee. Tasted awesome, been months since I had it. :D

After the fattening breakfast (you can see the curry oil floating all over), we went to the bus stop and took a bus to the office where Nuffies are supposed to meet at 8.45am and start our engines at 9am.

8.45AM
Reached office and didn't manage to find anyone in sight. Spotted Verynice walking alone and walked towards her. Turned out that she was here at 8.30AM and I was the first Nuffie she saw in the day. The rest are missing. =.=

Yee Hou reached awhile after I reach. Both Vernice and I didn't bring our office keys due to the fact that we thought we're leaving right away. Thanks Yee Hou for bringing the office keys so we could go into the office, enjoyed air conditioning and bash the other late Nuffies on Facebook for being late. :P

9AM
David came in and I scolded him for being late. He apologized and went ahead to look for something to eat. He found a cup noodle and was complaining he can't eat it because there are no hot water. We pointed to our water dispenser and he found out that moment that water dispenser unit is capable of dispensing hot water. So he went over and pushed the red tab and the water flowed into the cup noodle. He walked back and let us know that somehow he didn't think the water was very hot. Turned out that the switch for the water dispenser wasn't on and he didn't know it runs on electricity. What a day for enlightenment, David. Lol.

9.45AM
We started our engines and left KL at this time. 45 minutes late. I started to think KY has a point that Nuffies in general are pretty bad at punctuality if it isn't regarding work matters. Friday lunches are best examples, right KY?

11AM
Reached Seremban. Stopped by at their market and savored their famous beef noodles. Wasn't fantastic and most of us thought that Ngau Kee the one behind Jalan Alor is nicer. Remember the one that I said the beef ball was so smooth? That's the one. We continued our journey from there.

1PM
Reached Aldy Hotel which was located near Stadhuys and Jonker Walk. The room was pretty awesome and the best part, there's a bathtub!! Holy shit!! Yee haa!!

What? I'm merely implying that I was happy because I can take a bath in the bathtub ~~and also do something else which is exciting with Zach~~. Don't think too much, okay? ;)

We were waiting for our Singaporeans colleagues to arrive so we had time to bum around. I spent some time watching Bollywood movie in the hotel room. Don't ask why. Lol. After getting enough of Tamil speaking movie, I went out with Zach towards the Jonker Walk. Was quite a pleasant walk but the sun was very very unforgiving that day. I bet I got a shade tanner from this.

This is taking too much time at 1 go. Actually blogged this from my office. Don't want to be caught not doing work. Lol. I'll update photos later and continue in my next post. Stay tune. :D

Cheers

On the Prowl

2009-07-10T22:09:00.004+08:00

Yes, I'm on the prowl looking for new targets. Targets like the below. Slurps!!

Actually, I've always been doing that, so that's not something new. Lol.

I'm looking into the future now for property investment. Surprisingly, the first thing I wish to get my hands on is not a car but a house. I ran some figures over and I think I do have what it takes to buy a house providing that I eat bread for the rest of my life.

I'm kidding. I can always rent the house out to others to ease my financial commitment but the deal ain't gonna be as smooth as those twinks out there.

What do you guys think? A guy whose not even 25 thinking to purchase a house. Is it a good idea or a bad idea?

-------------------------------

Tomorrow, I'll be prowling to Malacca for their delicacies such as satay celup, nyonya dishes, chicken rice ball and of course durian. Yummy!!

I wonder if there are 'extra' delicacies for me at night. Lol. I did some check on the Internet and found that the fab life in Malacca is as bad as Ipoh, which means, lots of uncles and no cuties. However, I also read that weekends tend to attract the Singapore crowd and the last I checked, Singapore does have a fair amount of fabulous people. Lol.

I'll let you know if I have anything yummy.

Doubt such quality would appear, but let's cross our fingers, shall we?

----------------------------------

I've been pampering myself a lot lately. Got myself a new affordable wallet from DKNY, bought a nice sweater, ate a nice meal at Chili's, ~~have a few shag here and there,~~ and etc. Basically, I'm upgrading my life little by little.

And let me reveal something very unsexy about myself. I didn't care for underpants and socks. I wore cheap underpants and socks from god knows where (pasar malam most likely, *shrugs*) ever since I was young till recently that I started to shop for something more.. presentable. Lol.

I think I fell in love with mini trunks underpants. Like the one this guy is wearing below.

Please tell me some of you are like me previously, someone who didn't care about how his underpants look to others? Lol.

-----------------------------

I feel like my social life is a bit limited due to the fact that I don't enjoy sports. True enough I'm considered healthy due to my gym sessions, but gym routine are somewhat a loner activity. It's not the same as playing rugby (ahh, guys piling on each other, lol!), futsal, badminton, tennis and others where you get to socialize with others.

Hmm.. seriously considering rugby if all of em are to look like this one here.
I'm thinking of starting to play sports. But what could be the right one for me? Do take note that I stay in Setapak and I don't drive.

Any recommendations, peeps?

I can't swim by the way. :(

-----------------------------

Well, that's the wrap as I'm going to Malacca the first thing in the morning tomorrow. Do surprise me with your comments if you can as I'll be anxious to read it once I get back. ;)

Cheers
Robb

Snippets

2009-07-08T14:22:00.005+08:00

I kinda like the the style where I blog about few things that happened in my life separated by dashes. I think I'll keep that up.

---------------------------------

I think you guys are right. I should appreciate the fact that my dad accepted me for who I am. After all, he still talks to me and we still hang out together laughing and stuff like that.

But beneath all that, I know that he's uncomfortable of my sexuality, but in due time I think he'll get over it. My act of wanting to bring Zach along was due to the fact I wanted things to happen faster while I guess the discomfort zone my dad is having just couldn't take the sight of his son with another guy yet.

So all in all, I think my act was for good intention but just merely at the wrong time. My dad was merely expressing his discomfort which is the rightful thing to do.

Thus, I made up my mind, I'll be going back to Ipoh next weekend for a get together with my family since my sisters are on holiday as well. My parents will be delighted to have all their 3 children back at the same time. It's truly wrong of me for not giving them this happiness if I don't go back just because I had ill feelings due to dad's inability to accept Zach yet.

----------------------------------

RPM classes rock big time! I just lost another 2kg! Let's hope I keep this up and I get my ideal body soon!

By then, I'll just look into the mirror and wank. Lol. Yes, I'm narcissistic.

On a side note, Fitness First at Menara MBF kinda sucks for the lack of variety of gays. I've seen sissies most of the time and a few non sissy ones. But sadly, there were hardly any gays with a good face. For me, I think facial features comes first, then body, then the personality.

Yes, I'm shallow.

----------------------------------

I'm deprived of durians. Last Friday we canceled our trip to Shanghai 10 as we accidentally slipped our mind that our new colleague has restriction to consuming food in non-halal places (Shanghai 10 sells pork dishes). That kinda made me upset a little but I went ahead and asked for a takeaway of durian pancake but it was just alright.

Then yesterday I decided I should just eat the real durian instead of all these substitutes of the real thing after my gym session. Much to my horror, it was raining when I was done with RPM and weights. With durian in my mind, I endured the raindrops and headed for a bus to go home.

Guess what?

The durian stall was not open because it was raining! FML

But, Miao informed me that there's this damn jeng durian buffet in Melaka and said we could head over there during our trip to Melaka. However it's RM35 per adult which is quite steep.

But hey, look at the varieties of durian served in their orchard! They even have Cibei No 7! Yes, they serve Cibei! Lol.

But I'm not sure if my dream will come true as half the Nuffies are against this. :(

*Crosses my finger that this will materialize*

------------------------------

A friend of mine has been rotting in Ipoh for 2 months and asked if I could go back Ipoh and accompany him as he's dead bored. I understand that it's always mundane to be in Ipoh but wondered why would he be in Ipoh for such a long time. He told me that he'll be in Ipoh for quite awhile and uncertain when he would be leaving.

At first I thought he lost his job or committed a crime in Singapore (he was working there the last I heard) so he's hiding in Ipoh or something. But it turned out to be something bigger.

His dad was diagnosed with liver cancer at terminal stage thus he's spending all the time with his family nowadays.

I felt sorry to hear the news. As I'm not good with consoling words, I told him that I'd be coming back the next weekend so I'll be able to talk to him in person.

This literally reinforced what I believe in life all the time.

Life is short, You should enjoy every single moment of it with everyone you care if you can. That's the sole reason why I live my life to the fullest every single day. However, I think have not been spending enough time with my family.

From now on, I'll start to think more of dad, mum and my sisters and try my best to get back regularly, yea? :)

-----------------------------------

I think I grew a little these few weeks (Not my dick size, I think it's fixed unless I go for penile enlargement which I don't think I need to) and I think the credit goes to you, my dear readers for giving such wonderful opinions on my life's happenings. Many many thanks. :D

P.S. I have a plagiarizing-Mahathir syndrome now. I use snippets as titles for entries like these from now on, okay? Lol.

Cheers

My LURVE Affair with Durian

2009-07-06T09:47:00.004+08:00

If you don't know that I'm an avid fan of durian, you must have just started reading my blog.

Durian has always been the taste that I crave since I can remember anything in my life. In fact, the first memory of my life is eating durian with my family members at a Petronas gas station! That's how prominent durian is in my life.

Back in Ipoh, my dad and relatives have always been experts in buying durian. Without throwing out any penny or effort, I got to eat the most delicious durian for all I want. However, that changed once I left home to pursue my education and of course, now when I'm living in KL to work.

I found out that durian cost a bomb to eat. Being stingy and not exactly a very good durian buyer, I kinda stayed away from purchasing any (Zach's loathing towards the smell is another factor too). Thus the early days of my student life outside of home has always been dedicated to my longing for durian, which was apparent in my hairstyle.

Nevertheless, I did find good replacement for durian in other forms in KL. Such as... Durian Pancake!

Despite being equally expensive (or even more) I do think this shit is wonderful! It's the closest thing ever from the real durian. My favorite is no doubt the ones available at Shanghai 10 Avenue K. Yummy!

Other than that, there are other durian flavored food that I do like. They range from durian egg tart (John King), durian donuts (JCO and Big Apple), durian cheesecake (Secret Recipe) and etc.

However, I do look forward for the day I get to join KY and Mell for a trip to Durian SS2. I had to FFK them last Sunday due to unforeseen circumstances. As this weekend I'm heading to Malacca, let's just hope that the schedule is clear for the next weekend for Mell and KY.

Now you must be wondering why am I so motivated to profess my lurve for durians? It's because I'm taking part in the Lurve Affair contest by Lurve.

It's a snack unlike no other because it's a multigrain chip snack! That means it's a much healthier snack unlike the rest which are bound to make you fat. Ho ho ho. Now I can snack and at the same time don't have to worry about gaining fat. On top of that, I even have a shot to win a MacBook Pro from this! Woohoo!!

My favorite flavor is no doubt Spicy at this moment, but I'm crossing my finger they'll come up with a Durian flavor, please!!

Do you have an LURVE Affair or an obsession you'd like to share? Share it with LURVE and you might just get yourself a MacBook Pro or even a chance to be on national TV! Check out here for more information.

Thank You, Eccentricity, Malacca & Stuff

2009-07-02T23:08:00.002+08:00

Thanks everyone for sharing your views. I really appreciate it. As much as I'm a good analyst for situations and scenarios of communication, I tend to fail to analyze my own at times due to involvement of emotions. Should this scenario happen on another person and he sought my opinions, I'd have known what's the appropriate thing to do.

The appropriate thing to do is no doubt take it slow and try selling Zach's good side bit by bit to my parents whenever I do spend time with them. That I believe in good time will tame the wild heart of my dad but when would be a mystery for me to uncover in the future. True enough, I cannot force things to happen quick despite the fact it's for 'the greater good'. That would have sounded like Hitler.

Thank you everyone once again for everything. :)

--------------------------------------------

I noticed that most of my dearest readers tend to comment more when I write about serious issues rather than my camwhore self. I'm starting to think that at times, pictures don't do all the talking after all. But at any rate, the absence of pictures of random cute guys in the blog has been awhile. Do you guys want 'em? Drop a comment to let me know.

--------------------------------------------

I'm an eccentric person. You know that when you find a picture of me shitting which was taken by my own self. I've also dressed up as an angel and walk around shopping complex alone, shouting at public places (definitely eccentric).

However, I find my rule for eccentricity defeated by HamletsHero. Check out what he did - imitating Lady Gaga.

He wasn't exactly cross dressing but the wig totally nailed it. He's one daring dude to imitate Lady Gaga. After winning a HP Notebook from Tiger Standout party for invading One Utama as Spartan warriors, now this? This is really really out of my league. I think I should be his disciple or something.

---------------------------------------

I'm going Malacca next weekend for a road trip with the Nuffies. The main idea of the trip is just eat and eat and eat. Fuck I'm going to be fat. But I'm still interested to check out if there's any queer life in Malacca. Anyone has any idea? Share please.

---------------------------------------

RPM classes in gym rocks. I've just joined for a week (5 times a week RPM) and I've lost 2kg. I hope this continues so my dream body will come true. On the other hand, since I'm spending more time to lose weight by cycling some of my muscles are not that buffed anymore. Fuck, I need more time in gym but I've limited time to spend there. :(

Does RPM classes work for you guys to lose weight?

---------------------------------------

This post ought to be weird since I've started to blog about different things in my life in section. Nevertheless, I like expressing it this way because I get to talk about various things in 1 post.

Cheers
Robb

Discriminated

2009-06-30T15:43:00.004+08:00

In case you didn't know, I'm openly gay.

And by that, it doesn't mean that I go around kissing guys and molesting them in public. No, that's not openly gay, but perverted (though I admit I might do that if it's the last day of my life).

What I meant was, everyone that is acquainted with me knows of my sexuality. Be it my friends, housemates, colleagues, clients whom I've worked closely with and my nucleus family. Meaning - dad, mum, sisters, dogs, mosquitoes inside my parents' house and the lizards on the wall.

The process of letting my parents know I'm gay went better than what I've expected. My mum seemed to be able to accept it while my dad was totally disappointed and had some hidden rage in him that I turned out queer. However, my dad got over it as time passed and he just ignored the fact that I'm gay and happily living with my boyfriend/lover/life partner, Zach. Every time I tried to bring in Zach into the conversation, he ignored it and pretended that I didn't said anything. Else wise, everything was just fine as it is.

Denial and pretending that something didn't happen while it did doesn't solve anything, as far as I've learned in my life. My dad is more than 30 years wiser than me but I'm not sure if he shares the same sentiment in this opinion for this case.

Recently, my elder sister graduated from medical school in Russia. She's now a full time doctor serving at Penang. As usual, a new doctor works like a donkey but gets paid handsomely which means they have quite a bit of money to spend but no time to do so. After spending 7 years in Russia alone, she kinda long for some family get-togethers and it's understandable which I made an effort to join in the fun one of the past weekends by going back to Ipoh.

As my siblings and I are all working now and we have responsibilities to shoulder daily. Thus, whenever we can, we'd try to schedule a time to get-together. My younger sister who is a trainee nurse gets a week off for each half a year. Her holiday is coming somewhere in July and I thought why not we have a family get-together to Penang.

Reason being Penang, my elder sister works there, she doesn't have to be too far from her workplace in case of emergencies and I have super huge cravings for Penang food as I've not been to Penang for over a year. I also thought it would be a perfect time for the family to accept me for who I am and Zach as a person who's important to my life thus I thought of bringing Zach along for this trip. Zach could also be helpful to show us around what's nice to eat and where to go and etc.

However, I've got a certain feeling that Zach's presence to the family get-together might not be welcomed and thus I checked with my younger sister about it. She doesn't seem to welcome my idea as she felt that dad might be uncomfortable (upset would be a better word) about it. She asked me to check with dad's opinion first before making any further plans about this.

Thus, I ranged my dad and told him about a get-together to Penang. He seemed happy that I had the intention to suggest such a thing and said he don't mind going for it. However, when I brought up the suggestion that Zach tags along his voice tone changed into a hostile one and said "NO".

I further asked why not and he gave me his most used answer to assert his authority in my years of growing up.

"NO MEANS NO!"

I gave up trying to ask why as he sounded totally hostile when he said that. Then I told him I'll check for my schedule before I revert for the get-together. But I've made up my mind that I'm not going for such a get-together.

Reason?

My boyfriend/lover/life partner is being discriminated by my very own dad. I even got a feeling that I'm being discriminated by my dad. Reality check, I wonder if my dad would have reacted this way if Zach is Zena (in other words, a girl, which makes me a straight lad)? Would my dad be upset of my girlfriend going along with a family trip? Or, would my dad be upset if my sister's boyfriend tag along for one?

I really have no idea, but being someone who tends to be negative towards his family, I'd said no. My dad would not be upset if I'm straight bringing a girl nor my sis bringing their boyfriends to a family trip. I might be jumping to conclusions here, but I'm human alright? I'm upset due to the fact that I felt discriminated against by my very own family even though it's not a proven fact yet.

I understand that my dad is uncomfortable of my sexuality. But sooner or later, he has to accept it and learn to deal with it, right? My intention was, why not start earlier so I can relate to my family more and felt loved by them? But it seems that my dad felt that avoiding this topic as long as he could would be a better option.

If there are any parents reading this, I'd really appreciate it if you can give me a view or two on this matter.

What if your son is gay?

What if your son wishes to introduce his boyfriend/lover/life partner to you?

Will you be able to accept his boyfriend/lover/life partner as you'd have for a girlfriend/daughter-in-law?

I just need an insightful view on this as I don't feel very comfortable at the moment.

Felt discriminated,
Robb

Pan Mee Shop, Mee Jawa Cashier, Selling Assam Laksa

2009-06-28T23:10:00.005+08:00

I'm sure most of us (in Malaysia) have seen a cash register with a digital display which welcomes you to the store/stall while displaying the name of the cashier. For example;

WELCOME TO KFC
I'M DIYANA

Recently I was blessed enough to find a stall with a very quirky cash register display. Check it out.

So just from the register itself, you'd think that the name of the store/stall is Pan Mee. But wtf is the person's name Mee Jawa for? Upon reading that, I immediately looked up and check out the cashier's face. No, it wasn't a plate of Mee Jawa that can walk and talk that was serving me. Lol.

So I went ahead and asked if the cashier's name is Mee Jawa. He just smiled and didn't answer me. He was a foreign worker. Wanna have a look at Mr. Mee Jawa?

There you go. He might have originated from Jawa, but he sure doesn't look like mee. Lol. And the best part as you might have noticed, they sell Assam Laksa in that stall as their signature dish.

The stall is located at Pavilion KL's food court. We gave the Assam Laksa a try due to its eccentricity in visual. As usual, a meal in Pavilion is never cheap in general. The assam laksa cost RM7.30 if I'm not mistaken which some Penangites might roar with anger to find this out while they only charge less than RM3.50 for a bowl in Penang.

The price is reasonable judging that the rent in Pavilion is definitely expensive and if they don't have a price that's good enough to bring in profit, that wouldn't be a business to begin. To compensate on its high cost, the assam laksa is indeed large in portion with sufficient fish meat to spare. Taste wise, it's nothing compared to Penang's laksa but it's still good for KL standard since I've not successfully find any laksa in KL which is any good.

Check out this Pan Mee shop with Mee Jawa cashier for its Assam Laksa the next time you visit Pavilion. It's still one of the cheaper alternatives for food in the shopping complex.

Thinking to change his name to Durian Pancake

How Pyramids Are Built

2009-06-26T22:06:00.004+08:00

Not long ago I shared with you guys that I played and is replaying a game called Pharoah. It's a civilization building game which is similar to Zues, Settlers and Emperor which are all made by the same company. It's a city building game unlike Sim City but pretty easy to learn in nature.

I have to say I learned a lot throughout my adolescence's years of playing games. For example, I learned about the ancient religions of the Egyptians where various Gods are worshiped. Osiris, Ra, Ptah, Seth and Bast are a few that I can recall. I also learned that what are the basic needs of a society and rough idea how the a civilization evolves once a certain need has been satisfied. Architecturally, I learned how pyramid was built visually, though not exactly the real procedure, but it was no doubt helpful enough on how it came about. Did you know that pyramids are not first built a 100% steep and sharp like what we know?

The above is the first form of pyramid. It's not exactly very pretty, but it's made of pure plain stones with hundreds of thousand slaves' hard work.

Then, it evolved into a second form of pyramid which is shown above. It's made of limestone blocks in its outer layer and plain stone blocks as its core. it's not the true pyramid yet as the early architects still had problem with the foundation of the building somehow. Thus it looks more like a retarded pyramid if you ask me.

Next come the real thing. But I'm going to show you that it's a lot of hardwork for the Egyptians, especially the slaves to build it first.

As opposed to the image where the slaves were pulling 4 blocks at once, the blocks are actually pretty huge in real size and 1 of it requires at least half a dozen people to pull it. Then, upon brought to the site, a few stonemasons are required to lay the block in its rightful place with the right building connecting liquid (not sure if they have cement back then). As the monument grows higher, it will require carpenters to build ramps made out of wood. The higher it goes, the more wood it requires to ensure they can sustain the weight of the blocks getting pulled up there.

Upon laying the final block on the top of the pyramid, another task arise where stonemasons will have to carve out the blocks of stone to make the pyramid's outer layer look perfectly like a pyramid. Don't ask me how but that's what I understand from the game. Lol. I could have been fooled. *Shrugs*

Tada~ it's done.

Here's a sphinx as well.

My civilization built it and this one requires lots of wood for carpenters to use and cost a lot of stonemasons' lives. I know it's pretty ugly, but the deal is to show how a monument is built, alright? :)

I hope you enjoy the pictures because the process of building these monuments actually took quite awhile. Lol.

Loves playing good city building games

Flashing is Bad

2009-06-25T14:39:00.001+08:00

Urbanscapes 2009

2009-06-23T21:32:00.003+08:00

OMFG!!! Free tickets to Urbanscapes 2009!!!

That was my facial expression when I found out. (Ignore the fact that I didn't have sufficient sleep, apparent from my eyebags)

Okay, I'm not gonna let you know how you're going to get the free tickets. Sue me if you want. xP

If there's anyone who haven't heard of Urbanscapes, you're either not living in Malaysia, or not very in tune with the latest happenings in Malaysia.

Urbanscapes is the city’s annual user-generated all-day creative arts festival which is organized by the good people from KLue magazine. Set to rock the house at KL Performing Arts Centre, everyone's excited about the possibilities this year! As usual, Urbanscapes 2009 will offer all the best from KL ranging from music, arts, film, theatre and fashion, marketplace vendors and more. It gets better, because YOU can have your say and dictate how the show goes on! Find out more at www.urbanscapes.com.my

Okay, I know the above paragraph seems very generic (you can read from their homepage as well) but that's the best way to describe the event to newbies. For those who already know about it, this is the time to give our local talented artists the recognition they deserved.

Among the acts and performances I'm looking forward to are;
- Twilight Actiongirl who will be spinning tracks for the Disco
- 40 Winks and Pop Shuvit who will be rocking the X Lawn
- The ever sweet Zalila Lee who will be entertaining us with her sweet melody at The Box
- And my favorite, the Cinescapes Stage!!

I'm going to write a paragraph at least for this. Lol. You see, most of us enjoy watching movies. But somehow, many of us have the perception that American made movies are better than ours. Sure, if you compare in terms of budget spent, their effects and production qualities are no doubt better. But if you really watch our locally made movies, you'll be amazed with what you can find (there are exceptions, nevertheless). At the Cinescapes Stage, you'll be able to watch all the best movies our local producers ever made including Sepet, Sumolah, Anak Halal and many many more!!

I personally think Sepet is the best movie ever made in Malaysia. :P

If you wish to check out the entire itineary list, head to www.urbanscapes.com.my because my favorite picks are just a small group from what the real thing offers.

Ok thxbabai.

What? The free tickets to Urbanscapes?

Come on... Do I have to?

Alright alright I'll share it with you guys.

There are 200 free tickets to Urbanscapes available just for U.O.X./Xpax users!!! I'm not kidding!

All you have to do is just reload RM30 to your U.O.X./Xpax account and you'll be given a free ticket to Urbanscapes 2009!! A booth will be set up right next to the ticketing counter at KLPac and you can reload from there. Not an U.O.X./Xpax user? No problem! In case you're ignorant, you can now get a free U.O.X./Xpax starter pack just by purchasing a reload. Just purchase RM30 reload and you'll be given a starter pack right away! Cool, huh?

Unfortunately anything that is this good has its limits. Here, it is first 200 person who reload RM30 during Urbanscapes. If you're a person who likes to take your own sweet time in doing things, I'm pretty sure you'll most probably not make it as the first 200.

But, there's something else you can benefit from if you're an U.O.X./Xpax user but didn't make it as the first 200. You'll be given an RM10 discount voucher for your ticket purchase by just reloading a minimum of RM10 at Urbanscapes! Not too shabby for the latecomers, eh? :P

The good news do keep coming because there's a contest just for U.O.X./Xpax users in Urbanscapes itself. Let's not talk about the contest and just the prize shall we? Anyone interested in the latest, hippiest N97 as a prize for a click with your finger?

Got you interested, didn't I?

There's going to be an X-SNAPS! Contest which is literally a photography contest open to all U.O.X./Xpax users. Snap a photo during Urbanscapes 2009 in the following categories;

- Colour
- Fashion
- Music
- Design

You can do it with your big ass SLR, compact camera or even your phone's camera. There are 3 ways for you to send in your entries.

1. During Urbanscapes, at the booth at the 24hour KL booth area
Just find Xpax booth where there will be people to assist you in submitting your picture right on the spot.

2. After Urbanscapes through email
Just send an email with the image attached in it to xsnaps@xpax.com.my. Be sure to include your title of picture, category you're participating in, your name and your mobile number.

3. During or after Urbanscapes through MMS
Just MMS your picture to 26388. The subject of the MMS must include the name of the photo, category you're participating in and your name all separated by commas. For example - Obscene Banana, Colour, Robb Chew . :P

Once you've submitted your picture, you can check it out at MeTV.

The contest will start on 27 June and ends on 11 July 2009. There will be 4 winners, one from each category which means.... FOUR N97 TO BE GIVEN OUT!!!!! OMFG!!

Okay, I've spilled enough beans. I'm going to keep quiet on what my strategies are to win an N97 for myself. Don't bug me for ideas, I'm not sharing!! The N97 is mine!! MINE!!!

P.S. I don't even have to tell you that I'm definitely going to be at Urbanscapes 2009, right?

Aiming to win N97 at Urbanscapes 2009

Dumping Smelly Craps

2009-06-22T17:40:00.004+08:00

Yes, this post is exactly what it means.

Hi, my name is Robb.

I'm a smelly crap dumper.

For those who don't know, the Nuffnang office in KL has 2 wings, east wing and west wing. Each wing has its own toilet but instead of separating the toilet into gender based, we do it - business based.

That means, if you're taking a piss, use the one of the west wing. Got dumping to do? Head to the east. The main reason? The west wing is where the boss sits and the east wing used to be deserted.

As our office grew, the east wing has to be populated and now, our technical team (programmers, designers) are all seated on the east wing.

Now back to my story of being a smelly crap dumper. Every time I take a dump in the office toilet, my colleagues never fail to evacuate to the other wing. They claim that my shit is the smelliest shit they've ever sniffed in their lives. I beg to differ since I can't smell anything wrong.

Now, I have reservations and think twice of shitting in the office toilet. I don't want to affect my colleagues' productivity in work. Damn! Why do I have to be so considerate?

Does my shit stink so bad?

P.S. My colleagues said that you guys are lucky smell doesn't transmit through visual. Lol.

P.P.S. Picture was taken when I was actually taking a real dump.

Cheers
Robb

Yea Yea Transformers

2009-06-19T21:58:00.003+08:00

In case you didn't know...

I'm watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on the coming Monday, 2 days before the release date. Neh neh neh neh neh~

Okay fine. That was childish, I know. But I'm still gloating about it. Hahahaha.

Hasbro Malaysia sponsored some Transformers toys in conjunction with the movie release for promotional purposes. UIP allocated some to Nuffnang to give out to bloggers who put in creative effort in their cravings to watch Transformers 2.

I managed to get my hands on a test unit for half a day in our office. This baby I'm showing you cost close to RM200 in the market.

To be honest with you, I've never played with an original Transformer toy before in my life. Back when I was a kid, these stuff are way too expensive for my dad to buy for me. Instead, I got pasar malam or China imitation of Transformers. The robot toys I used to have were of course not as sleek and nice as the one I'm showing you. But somehow, just thinking back of my childhood, I feel warm and loved because I know my parents did care and love me deeply. Despite the fact that they were making ends meet, they still buy toys for me and my sisters to play. This sure brought back good memories now. Thanks dad for buying me toys. ^_^

Here's a look at the Transformers toy, Ironhide outside its packaging.

Sleek, right?

Front look.

Of course, I'm supposed to 'transform' the toy right? I thought, sure, it would be a piece of cake. Little did I know it was fucking hard!

It came with a manual to transform it, but it takes years for you to decipher it actually!! Back in my childhood, my robot transformed much faster. Just a few turns and bends, tada~ robot. Reverse the turns and bends, tada~ car.

This one.... took me 20 minutes just to get to the robot mode!!!

Once you reach the robot mode you must be thinking that making it back to the vehicle would be a piece of cake right? WRONG!!

It took another 20 minutes just to get it back as a truck! God sake!!

Either I'm very stupid with bends and turns or this thing is really difficult to play with. I wonder if the kids are able to play with it without thrashing it. If I'm a 5 year kid, I'd most likely get frustrated and throw it aside.

I think the target market for this product is for fans who have grown up (nerds and geeks included).

I don't know about you, but after playing the test unit, I do have the itch to own 1, or maybe 2 or 3 and put it in my house. Heh.

P.S. My boss thinks that Bumblebee is a fag robot. I agree. It does look gay. Lol.

P.P.S. My colleague, Jestina loves Bumblebee. We now call her faghag. Hahahaha.

P.P.P.S. I'm going to spoil Transformers to you once I watch it, okay?

P.M.S. I don't have any because I don't have pussy.

5 packs of Instant Noodle for a Meal

2009-06-16T21:24:00.003+08:00

Don't worry, I did not eat 5 packs of Instant Noodle for a meal. I need to keep myself fit, remember? I don't want my 3 months pregnancy to turn 5 months!!

But...

Zach ate 5 packets of these,

He claims that these are the best Mi Goreng in the market and that's why a pack of 5 cost RM6.40, among the highest for locally manufactured instant noodles. He happened to be very hungry today and thus ate 5 packets of them during dinner.

I think that's definitely an overkill, but he told me he just wanted to know if he's still able to eat 5 packets at 1 shot. What a way to find out things. =.= In addition, he actually placed a bet with my housemate that he could do so and in return, my housemate have to buy 5 packets of the same noodle that he ate.

This is 1 packet. I had 4 of them. :P
This reminds me of my own gluttony back when I was younger and at least 9 months pregnant in size. Let's see.. a typical meal is double rations where I'd add rice and lots of dishes. Probably cost me RM7.50 which is fucking expensive for a meal in Ipoh.

I was also a big fan of Pizza Hut back then (cause no one showed me what real delicious pizza looks like). I'd order an entire regular pizza for myself to consume without sparing a slice for my sisters. If they try taking a slice, I'd get hostile and demand for payment. Lol.

Actually I think many people can eat the entire pizza on their own.
I've also consumed many packets of instant noodles at once. My max was only 4 packets, due to the fact that I favored soup based instant noodles back then. If one is to cook 5 packets of soup based instant noodle, I assure you that man will spontaneously burst once he finish eating all the noodles. Mind you, there are also eggs (usually 2) in my instant noodles. Lol.

One of my worst case of gluttony was when me and my mates were eating Steamboat Buffet at 2+1 in Bercham, Ipoh. After all of us were stuffed, we challenged each other to an ice cream eating contest. Both my and my mate, Chun Wei went up to 30 scoops each and since it was taking too long, we extended the challenge - each of us have to eat a bowl of majorine instead.

Yes, a bowl of this
Guess what? I ate the entire bowl and was crowned champion of glutton! Lol.

Those were good times, which I do not wish to repeat again. Lol.

At any rate, I'm very glad that I managed to stick to my plan to hit the gym today. The good thing about gyms are - they have mirrors all over and when I work out, I get to see my muscles. ;)

Yes, I know I'm vain. Bear with it.

Cheers
Robb

What's Up with Me?

2009-06-15T23:16:00.003+08:00

First and foremost, condolences to Akiraceo for his recent loss of Pafu. May Pafu rest in peace and Meow be strong.

I'm also a pet owner and thus I'm feeling the sadness for Akiraceo as well. Zuzu, please don't leave me..

-------------------

I'm broke again. I think people around me hear me say this every single month. It can't be helped as I'm always bad at managing my money. T_T Guess that's no more durian pancake and Yellow Cab for this month and hello economy rice from the back alley near the office everyday.

Not taken from the alley, but just to illustrate my point
-----------

I'm sure by now you've taken note of my 'pregnancy'. It's very much due to unprotected activities such as taking in unnecessary substance. Thus I must now get the fucking thing out of me by going on the treadmill and bike at least half an hour every single day. My discipline to hit the gym has gone to the dogs these days and it's time I be strict to myself.

I MUST GO TO THE GYM EVERYDAY OR ELSE I'LL END UP LIKE HIM!!

------------

I've some movies I'm really interested in watching such as 17 Again starred by Zac Efron and Fighting starred by Channing Tatum. I know. I'm a typical fag cause I dig movies which have eye candies in them. Lol. Zac Efron is no doubt cute and hot at the same time. Channing Tatum? Gorgeous body! What's better, a movie which shows off his body most of the time! Lol.

Zac's smile is so cute!

My my. What a body
---------------

For trivia entertainment, these days I'm still playing Pokemon in my NDS. I'm now in Pokemon Platinum due to the fact that it has better features and I'm training all the pokemon starting from pokemon number 1 till number god knows what. I'm now at Vulpix, a pretty average Fire pokemon.

I normally play my NDS whenever I travel in public transport. Thus my average time spend is no longer than 2 hours a day. Thank God I still have a life. Lol.

--------------

Back at home, I normally watch previous South Park or Family Guy episodes whenever I'm dining at home to fill time. A typical meal at home would be instant noodles or my very own made kolo mee. What's the recipe? I'll share it one day.

At times when I do have some free time and don't really know what to do, I'll just time travel back to the Egyptian days and rule Egypt as the Pharoah.

This is a pretty old game. In fact I think it has been released for more than 8 years now if I'm not mistaken. But the fun lies in building a civilization that evolves according to what you provide them with. I am personally a fan of simulation, strategy and civilization games.

I learned a lot about Egyptian culture from this game ever since I was in high school. Fascinating, especially about their religion and monuments!
----------

I just can't help it. I'm a typical camwhore. I demand for attention and thus I'm placing my picture at the end of this post. Don't like it? Sue me! :P

I'm Happy with My Life

2009-06-14T18:42:00.002+08:00

I don't see the reason why not. :)

I just came back from Ipoh and believe me, this is the most fun filled trip back to my hometown. Normally my Ipoh trips are due mundanely bored because there's nothing to do back there and there are no plans to do anything at all. The initial reason why I normally go back is to see my parents. But the moment I saw them, that reason has been gratified and normally a question will arise in my head,

"Shit, what am I supposed to do for the next 24 or 36 hours?"

This is due to the fact that all my close friends back in the days of my high school have already moved out of Ipoh and pursuing either their education or work life else where. Thus, going back to my hometown is basically just to meet my parents or some relatives of mine which do sound very very boring.

However, this time it was different as it was the first time my siblings and I all came back to Ipoh at the same time. And for that, every single time slot and day I spent in Ipoh was filled with planned activities of what to do and where to go. Most of them involved eating (FML, the weighing machine is so going to give me a heart attack) but it was all good and I really had a great time with my parents and sisters. This trip is no doubt memorable for me and I hope it's the same for my parents and sisters too.

Backtrack a week, last week's Standout party seems to be very well received by bloggers who attended according to the records from all my tracking. I'm very happy to know as I actually put a lot of time into making the event a blast for the client and Nuffnangers. Not to mention the people that came in crazy costumes totally made the party exciting. There were so many, but I only managed to took few pictures with them. One of them is particularly SuperSeow.

So that's 2 good news and people say three times' a charm. I do have a third reason to be happy with. Guess what?

I'm pregnant!!

P.S. Seriously, I'm not kidding. I added on 3kg in my body weight recently! I'm very sure it's a baby!

Cheers
Robb

Time to Blog

2009-06-11T22:17:00.003+08:00

Honestly, I've been ignoring my blog for quite awhile.

It can't be helped as I have had a lot in my hands previously as Standout with Nuffnang & Tiger was under my jurisdiction. If I'm not to spend my full attention there, it might not have been as what happened last Saturday. Thankfully, many of the Nuffnangers threw praises and compliments of the party which made me satisfied despite the fact that I missed dinner and all the beers the entire event.

Or, just in case you forget how I look like, here's me without any hairstyling cream/wax on my hair.

Life's been great to me. Well, I have a few new colleagues. One of them is Doria Jolly all the way from East Malaysia. She's funny and chic in my opinion. Why chic? She puts a pen to tie her hair bun. =.=

Seriously! But irregardless, I do think that she's chic because she's very well dressed and not to mention fashionable too.

I'm gonna be random today so let's talk about one of my favorite food. Durian pancake from Shanghai 10.

These babies are fucking delicious but at the same time, highly fattening too as they contain cream!!! I can imagine how I'll look like if I'm to continue indulging myself with them. Just take a look at the chef preparing it and you'll know what I mean.

Tomorrow is Friday and normally it's Shanghai 10 day. I do hope that I'll be able to skip the durian pancake if we do end up at Shanghai 10.

P.S. I know this post hardly qualify as a proper posting as well, but please do bear with me. Rest assure I'll continue my personal life story but I'll need time to write it.

P.P.S. Should be difficult for me to update this weekend because I'm going back to Ipoh to celebrate my mum's belated birthday. She has the same birthday as Tim and the Standout party. =.=

You Can't Get Enough of Transformers

2009-06-06T12:53:00.003+08:00

I think it's a fact that I can't get enough of it.

Ever since I was a kid I was already a big fan of the cartoon series.

My favorite was no doubt the Beast War series but due to the fact that our public TV was so screwed up, I didn't actually manage to catch all of them :(

Then, they released Transformers in the big screen and I virtually had an eye orgasm watching it.

This month they're releasing Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen and my balls are virtually having spasm ready to get rowdy. Lol.

Check out the latest awesome trailer below. It's a must watch.

If you ask me, I think a lot of people just can't get enough of Transformers and not just me alone.

If you're a Transformers fan, drop a comment so I'll know you're one too. ;)

P.S. I'm considering to purchase a Transformers Chess Set. Do you think it comes along with the "Certified Nerd/Geek" certificate?

Cheers

Yellow Cab Pizza

2009-06-03T22:56:00.003+08:00

Yellow Cab Pizza is no doubt the best pizza makers in KL in my opinion.

I've tried many many pizzas from different restaurants from the low quality and cheap Pizza Hut till the fancy ones such as Papa John or from Italian restaurants and nothing come close to what Yellow Cab pizza offers in taste.

The pizza above is 18 inches in diameter. It's the size of 4 of your palms at least.

It's priced at RM57.60 and is able to satisfy the hunger of 4 men (who have a big stomach storage). For those who are average in their stomach spaces, this can feed 6.

Prepared freshly from the oven, it takes about 15 minutes for you to get your pizza if you're dining in. Their toppings are generous on their thin but not paper thin layer of pizza bread which is excellent for people who are just fucking sick of Pizza Hut's thick pizza crust and minimum toppings.

Their ingredients are pretty fresh and tasty. My favorite topping is no doubt the beef bacon. I highly recommend their beef pepperoni and mushroom pizza (in the picture above) as it is my personal favorite.

The only downside of Yellow Cab, they have limited dine-in space for their branch in Jalan Raja Abdullah (near my office) and their non beef pizza ain't that great (but still better than a lot of the pizza makers in KL).

All in all, I'm writing this post just to share my love for Yellow Cab. I'm trying to make this a monthly hangout place for my gang. But first, I'll need to find a gang. Anyone wanna be my hangout buddy? Lol.

P.S. This is not an advertorial. (I really wish it is and I seriously don't mind they pay me with their pizza!!)

Cheers
Robb

New Job

2009-06-01T20:40:00.003+08:00

I now work at Krispy Kreme, selling delicious donuts.

Reason?

Nuffnang lunches are expensive. :(

An average lunch with Nuffies cost RM10 minimum. I can't help but to realize that I used to use only RM600 a month when I was a college student. I did the same amount of traveling and entertainment with the only difference - money spent on lunches.

That's why I'm now working at Krispy Kreme.

My lunches are taken care of. 3 and a half donuts everyday!

I get to save money but the sugar is going to kill me...

FML.

P.S. I'm just kidding. I'll never leave Nuffnang. :P

P.P.S. On the other hand, I did consume 3 and a half donuts today during lunch time, as desserts after set lunch at Johnny's. FFFFFFML.

P.P.P.S. FFFFFFML = Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck My Life

Cheers

Paying 2 Bucks to Pee

2009-05-30T22:18:00.003+08:00

When I was doing the Angel gimmick at KLCC, I had the honor to visit a premier toilet.

Paying 2 bucks to go into a restroom is no doubt something my grandma would slap me silly if she found out I did so.

Before I went in, I thought, "Hey, since I'm already here, why not I pay the fee and let's see if it's worth a blog post for my readers?". Since you're reading this, you don't have to be a genius to guess whether I went in or not.

I was greeted by a staff on a dedicated desk with flower decorations and etc.

Sorry that my hands were shaky and I didn't turn on the flash to prevent her jumping on me asking me to delete my photos. I was asked to pay up front which is a norm for paid toilets.

I was given a receipt and a wet paper towel in exchange of my RM2 note. Geez, what a rip off. Lol. Upon entering the toilet I tried looking for what makes this toilet so special that it's called a Premier Toilet.

The ~~Singh~~ sink definitely caught my attention as it was loaded up with facial products and surprisingly... body products! There was facial wash and body wash! I can understand the facial wash but what's a body lotion going to do for people at the sink? Oh... I got it. Rich people use them to wash only their hands. Lol.

Then I went into a stall and checked out what was inside.

A hearty toilet greeted me and said 'Ohaiyo'.

I was kidding, okay? There wasn't any talking toilets. It was just a plain toilet but it was clean at least. I guess RM2 does guarantee the hygiene level of the toilet you go into, eh?

So I went ahead and laid out my proposals, mapping out my course of actions and other relevant things you do when you're doing a 'big business'. I'm pretty sure if there was someone next to me, they'd definitely smell what I was cooking. A pretty 'big business' if you know what I mean. ;)

Once I was done, I went around looking for toilet papers.

This came as a surprise as they were not ordinary toilet papers. ~~The toilet papers can fly!!~~

They were nicely folded tissue papers and it was pleasant not having the trouble to tear off the toilet papers to wipe your ass. Lol.

And then I went out of my stall to wash my hands, using the body lotions. I didn't touch the facial products as I have reserves against unknown facial wash brands. While I was washing my hands, I noticed that the moment I came out of the stall, a staff came in immediately and went into my stall to further clean up the toilet. Guess that's how they ensure that every single stall in the toilet is clean.

All in all, I think paying RM2 for a visit to the loo is outrageous, but if you're a snobbish and hygiene freak, you'll find paying RM2 worthwhile because you don't have to whine about your toilet visit.

Adapting in Life

2009-05-29T09:38:00.003+08:00

Believe it or not, every single day we're bound to encounter something new in life. Sometimes it's something drastic like your son telling you that he's gay, sometimes it's something very subtle that we tend to overlook such as a new fab introduced by Yee Hou.

Humans are very adaptable in nature. Going back in time, we lived through the ice age barely clothed and yet today in Malaysia we'll complain it's cold when it's 16 degrees Celcius. Lol. That shows how humans adapt to our surroundings. But adaptation isn't a smooth process all the time. There are times that when changes come, we'll try to resist the change because we're not sure what to expect when the situation changes.

I wonder who brought the change to wear clothes last time. Lol

Take for example the mobile phone craze. I'm pretty sure back in the early 20s, most of our parents, especially if we're in the outskirts are very against mobile phones as they view it as excessive and unnecessary in life. They disapprove when their children asked for one (mine did, lol). Reality check today, almost everyone in the nation has a mobile phone because of its mobility factor that ensure everyone is reachable. This is a scenario that shows resistance in adapting to a change, but at the end everyone accepted it.

Okay, I'll spare you guys all the long story. I'm merely trying to say...

I'm finally on Facebook actively.

I have a Facebook account all this while (company requires me to have one, cool company to work with, right?) but I've not been actively using it due to the fact that I wasn't comfortable with it as a new social tool as I was more accustomed to Friendster (yes, call me Lala and Ah Beng all you want). But after getting to know Facebook, I can officially say I've joined the Dark side.

So if you're on Facebook and you know me, do add me. ;)

Just search Robb Chew. I think I'm the only one. I'll only approve if I know you, so make sure you drop me a message first if you're not sure I know who you are.
