Selamat Hari MERDEKA, Malaysia!!!

Since today's the day (31st August) which marks the most historical event of Malaysia's freedom from the British invaders which used to rule our beloved land, I just want to say this statement out loud:

Selamat Hari MERDEKA, MALAYSIA!!!


TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN: "MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!"

Enjoy this song, my dear friends!

On a side note, I want to wish a very big HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY to my dear friend 'Bernard', whose birthday is also on the same day as our beloved country's 'Independence Day'. ^^

That's all I've to say for now. I'll be updating my blog with more updates soon! See ya!

Viva la Sat-ur-day.

Well, this Saturday's pretty much another typical day for me... I went out with my mom (not taxi, I drove my car.) to visit my grandmother who's currently residing in an old folk's home named "Mother's Nursing Home" (The days which I do this task is random).

After a few hours there, my mom decided that she wants to go to the "Jusco Cheras Selatan" shopping mall in Balakong... so I brought her there. My mom told me that she had a craving for Japanese food, so we decided to eat at the 'Ichiban Ramen' food outlet, after I've parked my car of course.

My mom ordered the 'Katsu Don' meal while I ordered the usual 'Unagi Don' (Rice dish served with eel meat, costs RM 19) which I usually like to eat, while both of us ordered the same drink... which is 'Ice-blended Coffee with ice-cream' (costs RM 6.50).


> Unagi Don. Looks deliciously delicious... lol


> The 'Ice-blended Coffee with ice-cream' drink that my mom and me ordered.

We decided to try the 'Gyōza' (costs RM 9) that they serve here... since it looks appetising, (both of us were really hungry around this time) and that this is my 1st time eating this. ^^


> Japanese-style 'Gyōza'. Looks appetizing indeed. ^^

According to Wikipedia,

"Jiaozi (Chinese transliteration), gyōza (Japanese transliteration), or mandu (Korean), is a Chinese dumpling, widely popular in China, Japan, and Korea as well as outside of East Asia, particularly in the United States.

Jiaozi typically consist of a ground meat and/or vegetable filling wrapped into a thinly rolled piece of dough, which is then sealed by pressing the edges together or by crimping.

The most prominent differences of Japanese-style gyōza from Chinese style jiaozi are the rich garlic flavor, which is less noticeable in the Chinese version, and the fact that Japanese-style gyōza are very lightly flavored with salt, soy, and that the Gyoza wrappers are much thinner than the Chinese counterpart..."
And yes, the 'rich garlic flavor' part of the Gyōza is 100% true, tested by me. hehez

After a really fulfiling Japanese meal, my mom then went to do her own shopping while I kill some time by playing some games in the arcade, until she's done. Then, my mom decided to buy some Auntie Anne's pretzels. Woohoo! Auntie Anne's pretzels are DELI-CIOUS!!! When we arrived at this outlet's counter that time, I couldn't help but notice that there's a plate of tid-bits of Auntie Anne's Coffee-flavoured pretzels. So, I tasted 1 of those and boy, it was really good! My mom bought 2 Cinnamon-flavoured pretzels and 1 Sour cream and onion-flavoured pretzel (The usual flavours of Auntie Anne's pretzels that both of us like ^^).


> Tid-bits of Auntie Anne's Coffee-flavoured pretzels. TASTY n SHWEET! ^o^

After all that, we then went back home around 6.30 pm.


> Auntie Anne's Cinnamon-flavoured pretzels. Sugary goodness! lol

That's all I've to say for now. I'll be updating my blog with more updates soon! See ya!

Randomness.

Optical Illusion:


=> Can you find the man's head in this pile of coffee beans?

If you guys can manage to find it out, congratulations. For those who can't find it out, here's a hint:


=> It's somewhere around here... good luck trying to find it! ^^

My day today...

I couldn't believe that I actually woke up around 3 pm today, because I went to bed around 6:30 am-ish earlier this morning... =.=* Insomnia much? O.o

Stayed pretty much at home today, didn't go anywhere. Hopefully I can go somewhere to have fun with my dear friends, because I just feel so bored at home doing nothing else but mostly online-ing and stuff.

Oh yeah, 1 more thing... the "Sweet Child O' Mine" song by the popular rock band Guns N' Roses definitely is still a rock song that's worth listening to eventhough now's the 21st century! This song will definitely be 1 of my many fave songs, among others... and 1980's rock music F.T.W (For The Win)!

Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses


That's all I can say for now. I'll be updating my blog with more updates soon! See ya!

Really funny parody trailers.

Based on the trailer for the "Dark Knight" movie for those of you guys who have already watched it before watching the full movie itself, I discovered a parody (a funny version) of this cool trailer which is actually shown on an episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (On Star World, Channel 70). In this trailer, the 'Batman' is acted by a guy who is widely known as 'Guillermo', is a talk show personality who rose to fame while working as a parking lot security guard at the El Capitan Theatre for American late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live. He quickly became a permanent, nightly cast-member after performing satisfactorily in comedy bits written by the show.

Here's the parody video of Guillermo acting as 'Batman'. It's really darn funny! hahaz



Here's another parody video of Guillermo acting as 'Jason Bourne' in the "Bourne Ultimatum" trailer, on the same show. It's also really darn funny! hahaz



These parody trailers are funny to watch, if you guys don't mind the *beeped* words and the censored nudity (which only appears for a brief moment). That's all I can say for now. I'll be updating my blog with more updates soon! Adios, amigos!

4 Months of Holidays and Random stuffz...

Since the end of August, I'm actually having a really long sem break (4 months, to be exact) from this month until Jan of next year, and the thing with a 4-month long sem break for me is that eventhough I'm mostly free all the time, I just feel BORED, yes, BORED (well, online-ing can't really kill my boredom)... because there's practically nothing at all that I can actually do nowadays which in turn makes me feel bored...

I really don't have to say much in this post, but I really hope that I can really enjoy my 4 months worth of holidays till I resume my studies in Jan of next year.

Random Stuffz Time! (that I like... hehez)

I'm actually putting up a video and the lyrics of the song that I currently like, which is:

"I'm Yours", by 'Jason Mraz'

Lyrics:

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted

I fell right through the cracks

and now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out

I'll be giving it my bestest

Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing

We're just one big family

And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait I'm sure

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch closer dear

and I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

My breath fogged up the glass

And so I drew a new face and laughed

I guess what i be saying is there ain't no better reason

To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons

It's what we aim to do

Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait I'm sure

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours

Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me

A lá one big family (2nd time: A lá happy family; 3rd time: A lá peaceful melody)

It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love love love

I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm sure

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

No please, don't hesitate

no more, no more

It cannot wait

I'm yours!

And to the "Dark Knight" movie which I say is definitely the best movie for this year (2008)... R.I.P., Heath Ledger. You'll be greatly missed, be me and all of your beloved fans for your outstanding role as the 'Joker' in this well-made movie.

R.I.P., Heath Ledger
