Four Things I'm Looking Forward To Next Week
1. The Raya Holidays
Yup, holidays are the best. Especially a five-day holiday. Time to sit back, relax, watch some movie, hang out, drive around...you get the drift! Nice :)
2. PSP Shopping
Finally, after almost three years, I'm getting my own PSP next week. My.Very.Own.PSP! Can't wait. There goes my daily free time.
3. Road Trip To Penang
When I think of Penang...yummy!
4. Paintball Fight!
This would be the first time I'm taking the field for a game of paintball. This time, I would be able to get a first hand feel of how painful getting hit by a paintball is.
Changes Are Good
As you have noticed, this is the millionth time I have changed the template for my blog. You see, I get bored pretty easily and I have yet to find the template I really like, which explains why my blog is shedding its skin so frequently.
Sorry about that. I promise, if I ever get one template I like, I'll stick to it...until I get bored of it, that is.
One Thing I Learnt Over The Weekend
That you can be detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) if your life is under threat. Which means if I stalk some one, that person would go to jail! Nice!
Meet Kingda Ka!
Kingda what? Prior to reading about it somewhere a few days ago, I didn't know what Kingda Ka was. Initially, I thought it was a seafood dish from some Klang restaurant. You know, something like King Prawn or something. Boy, I was so wrong.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Kingda Ka:
OMFG! Who would have thought for something which has probably the funniest name ever could be the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster. Launched by a hydraulic launch mechanism to 206 km/h in 3.5 seconds, this bad-ass roller coaster will climb the main top hat tower which reaches a height of 140 freaking meters!!! The Kingda Ka is located at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, New Jersey, USA.
I don't know about you guys, but for someone who is having second thoughts about going on the Space Shot in Genting again, I'm not looking forward to challenging the Kingda Ka to a do-or-die battle. Oh yeah, Kingda is gonna do it, and I'm gonna die!
Check out this video for a first hand experience:
Believe me, I did not take this video. If it was me, I would have shat my pants.
Google lah!
I don't mean to be mean, but sometimes hearing another person's voice through the phone cracks me up. The manner they answer the phone, their voices and the dumb things they say on the phone sometimes made me laugh out loud (like I said, I don't mean to be mean, but I can't help myself). But a year back, this phone conversation I had with an operator totally raised the bar for the ultimate phone conversation stupidity.
At that time, I was with this PR company and I needed to contact the editor of this magazine owned by a large local broadcasting company urgently. So I called the hotline and this girl, I presume it's the operator, picked up the phone. The conversation - which I swear is a true story - went something like this:
Dumb-ass Operator (DAO): Good morning! Thank you for calling XXX!
Me: Good morning. Could you pass me to the editor of ABC magazine please?
DAO: We don't have their number, so we can't pass you to her
Me: Ohhkayy! So can I have their number so I can personally call her?
DAO: We don't have her number, sir
Me: What about her e-mail? Can I have her e-mail please?
DAO: We don't have her e-mail too
Me: Then can I at least know the editor's name?
DAO: You Google lah!
At that very moment, I went speechless. And at that very moment, I felt the girl's hand crushing my nuts. I don't know what to say to that poor girl, so I quietly hung up the phone.
The Story Of A Travelling Bean Bag
Hiya everyone! Meet Joe, the sometimes annoying laughing bean bag. Joe is almost two years old. Joe was 'adopted' by his owner when he was spotted looking outside the window with his sappy eyes, pleading for some kind soul to bring him home.
Just like Mary's little lamb, Joe follows his owner wherever he goes. He has been to a few places and occasionally follows his owner to work. But no thanks to his annoying laugh, Joe has been banned from visiting his owner's workplace. Too bad, Joe, too bad!
One of Joe's favourite past time is to annoy the hell out of everybody. Some might think he is cute, but to others, he is downright annoying. During a recent road trip with his owner, he never failed to annoy his owner, eventhough his owner needs to focus on the road:
Not only that, Joe has a knack of showing up unexpectedly and often unannounced, just to annoy people. Somehow, Joe finds pleasure in ruining other people's day for the heck of it. Sorry Doggie and Bear, knowing Joe's annoying habit, you two should really get a room if you wanna make Bearpups!
But at the end of the day, after a whole day of travelling and annoying the sh*t out of people, Joe would usually kick back and give himself a pat on the back for a job well done. Mission accomplished. Joe lives to annoy another day!
That Evil Black Thing
Question: What is black, has buttons on each side and is known to cause some sort of finger injury?
Answer: This.
The mean, lean, black machineI have been wanting to get one of these for the longest of time (yes, I know I'm three years overdue, so shut up!) but I haven't got the chance to, with money being the main reason why. Over the weekend, my brother got one and let me tell you, this black object is evil with a capital 'E'!
For anyone who loves gaming as much as I do, they would agree that the PSP is one hell of an entertainment device: you can play games, listen to music, watch movies and surf the web with this device.
When you have this device in your hands, hours pass by like minutes. On Sunday, I spent three hours playing this game:
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja HeroesNot only is the game addictive but it is sure tough as hell. It took me almost 30 minutes getting past one round, no thanks to this guy. My fingers literally went numb after the three-hour stint. Not because I suck at the game, but the difficulty of the level is hard and I have only less than a day of training OK?
Anyway, I think I’ll get one by the end of the year. But at the mean time, my bro’s poor PSP will suffer the wrath of my PSP-derived fingers.
