Just Another Manic Hectic Monday

Something's wrong with my office server since last week. I was unable to make any updates in Blog. There are a few interesting experiences I would like to share. Thought of saving it in here before I forget what it was :p That's me, quite a forgetful person. Well, I hope this gets updated. What I wanted to share last week Wednesday... before we all had the long break.

..... ~
Good morning.. Hah! Tomorrow is the 1st day of Chinese New Year 2008 and the beginning of a LONG holiday for me ;) hehehe. I'm all excited and happy to spend some quality time with my family and relax. We have a few plans lined up for the holidays. Not planning to go on any trip anywhere. Money tadak hai yaar. Let me tell the story once the holidays are over. It's Wednesday today... so, I can most probably update on Monday next week : D

Monday, 4th Feb 2008
It was one of the wackiest days and I spend with my sister, Kak Shida. We got ourselves off from our hectic work and life… made plans to head somewhere, relax and spend some time for ourselves. Mainly to get pleasure from resting and best of all… no work to worry about, no kids running around shouting 'maa maa... maaakkk" (not that they're my kids... but the noise they create can actually cause world war 3), no husbands (except me ya!) I really had a good time. Kak Shida and I were on leave and we made plans to go lepak at Queensbay Mall, do some window shopping and try to catch a movie if there's time. Well, we started our morning with a very delicious, heavy, mouth-watering breakfast at Nasi Kandar Merlin. For your info, Nasi Kandar Merlin is just right at the corner of Union Street, after Maybank. Gosh! I tell you, I recommend that nasi kandar stall to everyone. You really must try it out. Especially if you go there early morning around 8.30am. That’s when the rice and curries are still hot and the dishes are still fresh. There's not much of variety of curries there and all the dishes are really tasty. Especially the fish curry, Ayam masak rempah, ayam goreng crispy and also my favourite.. sambal sotong. I would say, this stall is one of the best Nasi Kandar stall in whole Penang. People from KL and some as far as Singapore will drop by to Merlin for their yummy nasi kandar. Kak Shida told me that her college from KL never misses to stop by at Merlin whenever they're on Penang. After having breakfast at Merlin (you won’t believe this) we actually drove to McD at Green Lane.. hehe. Well, Queensbay only open at 10am right? So, might as well you do something to occupy your time :p Aleh! We actually went there to lepak for a while and have a nive hot cup of coffee and a cool icy chocolate sundae ice cream before we head off to Queensbay. Queensbay - Mad mad Chinese New Year sale. There were discounts up to 80%. I bought a birthday gift for Abah since his birthday is on Valentines Day. OOOoo… And as for me, I got myself a Valentine’s gift too. Hehe ;) Well, dah tak de boyfriend to indulge me, might as well I just indulge myself. Besides, I just wanted to take my mind of what happened to me on Sunday. We stopped by at Nando's for lunch. Kak Shida had a RM40 voucher and we just wanted to use it. I don't prefer Nando's much. Not the kinda tasty food for me. The spiciness is not up to my liking. Well, after all that walking, shopping, eating and chit chatting... we thought of what better way to rest your feet then to head for a movie. Cloverfield… %^$@#&*@ Cloverfield. A very bad decision we made when we decided to watch this movie. Gosh! The movie is completely ridiculous. I will strongly say, this movie is the far worst movie I’ve ever watched. Just imagine, We only managed to stand up watching this movie for 30 minutes and after that we had to run out of the theatre to the nearest toilet... to vomit (there goes my lunch). This is the first time aku tengok wayang boleh pening, sakit kepala dengan muntah... all at the same time... and it's all because of just watching a movie. Sound ridiculous right? But that's the truth. And surprisingly, we were not the only ones. There were actually few other people who walked out of the movie as well. hahaha... I actually saw a girl rubbing her chest probably trying to control herself from vomiting. Well, now I understand what they mean by the term “NO birds eye view” of anything. The whole movie was actually taken using a videocam. So you can imagine how preposterously unstable the movie was, one second you’re looking at his head, the next second you’re actually looking at his legs pulak. This guy who's capturing the movie will run here and there with the camera still on, storming down the stairs with the camera still on… turn here and there. The movie was completely unsteady and it’s not like the usual movie we see and most certainly NOTHING like super hit movie 'Godzilla' or 'Independence day'. If you’ve read the reviewers’ comment about this movie in the CinemaOnline.com you’ll understand what I mean. It’s not suitable to be rated ‘U’ at all la. More suitable to be rated "U will muntah"
Well, the story goes… This is what yang aku sempat tengok la sebelum aku lari kelaur ge muntah kat toilet. There's this guy name 'Hud' and he was capturing his friend’s farewell party when suddenly NYC was attacked by this giant creature. And like any other movie... the monster attacked at night. You will see building collapsing everywhere, huge fireball like someone dropped a bomb. There were even fireballs falling from thr sky like rain. Among all this havoc, tetiba jer, you will see the statue of liberty’s head rolling down the streets where all the heroes and their girlfriends were standing... (Biasa la). Semua kena jadi depan mata hero jer. But then again, this part was consudered abit scary… wey! It was the statue of Liberty. Abis tue.. mula la semua orang lari lari lari.. lari some more.. lari here and there… buildings getting blasted.. Heavy tick smoke covering the streets. Tengah dok lari... suddenly, semua orang dah ada atas bridge… Now I dunno how they got there ok! so pls don't wask me. I'm not quite sure if it was the Manhattan or the Brooklyn Bridge they were on. Just when everyone was on the bridge trying to get their ass out of NYC, tetiba jer dengar macam apa ke benda yang besar kentut… brrrrrooookkkk… Now I assume it was that creature that had created all the havoc in NYC and I suppose menatang tue yang teriak la kot… Hahaha.. tapi bunyi dia memang pelik betol. Hahhh… nie yg aku nak tergelak… lepas terdengar menatang tue teriak je, tetiba ada satu benda hit the bridge and split the bridge into two. Bagi mata aku, nampak macam jejari sotong kurita yang giant nyer. Have you seen the giant octopus in Pirates of the Caribbean? Hehehe... either memang gambar tue or aku dah betol2 pening tak nampak betul-betul. Well what ever it was, I really regret watching it. Wasted RM7 for a ticket and to make the situation worse, the movie actually spoiled the rest of our day. Pening, Muntah dengan tak tahan sungguh sakit kepala. We tried to shake the dizziness off but still cannot help it. Well, we ended up going home at 4.30pm. Sampai rumah jer, aku telan 2 bijik panadol activefast and tido sekejap. Cos memang dah tak boleh tahan pening dengan sakit kepala. What a way to end the day.
