Reached the Pearl of d Orient thurs evenin' only to be greeted by raindrops fallin' on my head… stayed at some condo overlookin' d sea… nice view… loved it… no sunset to watch though… nevermind that… dinnered at Gurney Plaza… suppered at Gurney Drive… nice food (duh!)… managed to watch Fear Factor too… haha… a lesson to learn… it pays to be good at pool/snooker :) unless ur capable of digestin' super-hot chillies… 100-year old eggs… squids' insides… live ants… sounds yummy? Well it was pouring damn heavily on d way back… right during the time we were at the infamous killer Jelapang stretch… traffic was slow for like half an hour or so… glad nothin' went wrong… considerin' the recent events involving highways in Malaysia… Unsurprisingly Pg traffic was mad n hell-ish with inconsiderate drivers flouting all rules… but i guess that's d only way to get around?

Jam n Bum Around

Well… just downloaded Dream Theater's Live at Budokan album a fortnight ago… it's really cool prog rock… superb musical wizardry from Julliard n Berklee alumni… check their site out if ur into shred n rock… ;) Spent the whole afternoon… somethin like a quarter of the day… hitting the guitar stores around town… spending hours at one even… the ppl at MusicCraft are friendly no doubt… that's where i got my Marshall… so my friend and I were there checkin' out some gear… a Boss MT-2 Metal Zone stompbox to be exact… i bought a couple of Ibanez picks too… i finally found the ideal size of picks which matched the one I am using now… only Ibanez has it… cos i used to rummage through the whole shop's collection before… that's why I know… ;) it's great… I've finally found what I've been lookin' for for like five years?… i think it's five… one of the picks is a Paul Gilbert signature… kinda like d standard Ibanez thick plectrum anyway… it jus has sum of his designs on it… but Ibanez picks rule! Yeah… and of course their axes too… :P Will be on the road in a couple of hours… goin' overseas… oh well… maybe not… overstraits is more like it… goin' to Penang… chill out by d beach… haven't bn there in d past two years… so it's good to be goin' there again… I haven't packed yet… so i guess i'll just end this now…

Drizzle Away

What was supposed to be a visit to the neighbourhood night market ended up as a warcraft battle again… dun blame it on me… blame it on the rain… not that missing the night market was a big deal anyway… but it’s just some sort of a tradition that we have been faithfully keeping here… :)
So it was just another regular night out… met up with friends… topics of discussion?… hmmm… soccer… guitar… pcgames… and uni life… hmm… dun think we touched on babes… or did we?… haha… ooh maybe jus a lil…
Holidays are cool so far… tentatively leavin’ for a two-day trip to Penang this Thurs but i’m not sure if the plan’s gonna work out… hmmm… due to some ‘unforseen’ circumstances… i think that phrase has been overused to death… a lame excuse i would think… in most of the ocassions…
Probably hittin some guitar stores 2moro… alright! :)

Results

Well… the latest result for one of d exam subs which jus came out cheered me up quite a bit… cos it starts with d first letter of d alphabet… most of the others aren’t…
It was a nice afternoon… had some jammin’ in my house… waking the neighbours from their siestas yeah… haha… and after that it was a warcraft battle at imax cc… great to be able to meet some old friends again… and hang out…
There’s no denyin’ there ain’t so many ppl in ipoh at this time of the year… referrin’ 2 friends of mine actually… but i guess that’s just the way it is… everyone’s scattered in every far corner of the world pursuing their own dreams… piled up in their books… burdened by their workload… or probably lazing around enjoyin’ sunset on the beach… hopefully we will all be lucky enuff 2 laze around more… dun we wish?

Where? Issues When? October 25th, 2004 Who? [[[[|]]]]

Well… i think its time to reformat my pc… haven’t done it ever… hmmm… system n programs aint workin smoothly it seems… and probably a lousy dialup connection im usin’ now makes it look worse… dunno whether its line prob or system prob… sigh…
Alright… Schwarzenegger is proposing more hydrogen stations to be built in the future… after recently unveiling the first one… in some US state i forgot… and also… there’s this mass-produced car called Hummer which is now available… in the US at least… good 4 counterin’ overdependence on crude oil…
What else… Brazil has introduced a light aircraft that runs on ethanol from sugar cane… aint that great… besides… Volvo has also grabbed some awards in some motorshow with their new lithium-ion concept car which has stunnin’ good looks n acceleration… 0-60mph in 10secs… on li-ion!
Can’t remember the details of what i read in d papers all d time… haha… i think d Volvo is called SCC… too lazy to check…
With petrol prices soaring and natural resources decreasing… it’s hi-time these vehicles hit d market…
