Mee bandung = Mee “bonding”

Weird title??? Thats because what happened was..weird enough..

It started with my super-busy dad so suddenly asked me n my bro to follow him, without even telling us where we’re going…when asked , the answer was simply "jalan2.."

Now, my dad n my bro both are not-talkative (yup, unlike me)…so, without my mom n sis there..the trip was actually quite awkward, with me trying to make up some conversation , but both of them really know how to shut me down by answering each of my idiotic question with that one simple-straightforward-cold-as-ice-single-word answer

Anyway, suddenly my dad make a turn into Pelabuhan Klang, and after a few minutes, he stopped by a hawker stall ,and purchased 4 take-away packets of Mee Bandung. Aha!! it must be a super-special place since my dad really sweat it out coming all the way down here, so I asked Dad what so special about it..here is his answer

"Takde apa yg spesel lah..saje beli"

silence….

"oo…abis tu apsal beli kat sini??"

"dah lalu, beli je la"….more silence

On our way back, there’s more of that awkward moments. Failing to contemplate the whole thing, I sms my sis and asked whether she have any idea wth is my dad trying to do

"Alah,,,,dia nak bonding ngan korang la tuh"

…which cause me to burst into laughter at the backseat ( I worked really hard to turn the story around when my dad asked why I was laughing) …

so, this is my dad’s idea of bonding…with packets of mee bandung…

or maybe he’s thinking "Mee Bonding"????

How Russia can haunt u down…

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

Yes…they indeed can haunt you in such a way that u cannot escape from them, no matter how far u fly out back here to Malaysia..

To simplify my gibberish talk, after some eventful scenarios, I, in the end got a replacement PDA from the Moscow HP Centre..

The replacement PDA at first seems cool, since it is a later model than those I sent them for service…

The coolness didnt last that long when, after less than a week, it seems that the PDA phone have a long-list of infamous incapability…

1. Its sooo russificated…no,its not rusty, it just the whole damn thing had been translated to Russian, from the OS to the f***king keypad..I mean, its not like Russian didnt know wth is Window…you dont have to change it to Okno didnt u?

2. My last PDA did hang once in a while. This one, hang all the time…….I cant make calls, and open up the SMS window at the same time. Dude!! that’s lower from those Nokia 3310..

3. It have some great camera function, what with the 1.3 mpxl plus various modification …except that, the camera wont start all the time…it will once in a while, when it feel like to do so (ie, in a middle of a phone conversation)

4. I made a hard-reset (thats like formatting the whole thing for you all geeks medstew) with my last PDA like, 2 times in the whole 7 month I acquire those thing….With this one, I hard-resetted it 7 times in 2 weeks ….

Bottomline…Russian really know how to suck up …even when a good thing exist, you just have to hand it to them ,and they know how to mess with it big time…

Tomorrow I’ll be going to the HP centre and find out if I can Un"Russian"ize this damn thing…

p/s : I was meddling with the thing to search for the SMS button, when it actually at the front page..except it spelled as "Korotkoe Soobscheniya Sistemi"..whatev….

to gather together ;)

Holiday Check List No.1

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

Since time pass by too quickly, I really couldnt spent much time posting blogs. Everytime I hit the keyboard, I keep recalling if I could spend that time doing other things with higher priorities (ie eating a loadful of Durian..ahhaa.)

So, in a nutshell…

Things that had been done during this yet-another-freakingly-short-summer-break:

1. Settle up the stupid SPM certification translation bla..bla..passport,visa bla.bla
2. Watch Transformers @ IMAX
3. Watch Transformers again…haha
4. Visiting the cinema three days in a row
5. Manage to find another pair of jeans that actually suits me (literally)
6. Visit my best friend who just came back from France. Had a lovely dinner with ikan bakar and what not with his family.
7. Secure my order for oncoming Baju Raya..(that’s pure luck, you see, since most tailor had close their order, except that my best friend’s mom happen to be a great tailor!!)
8. Buy a pair of contact lenses (out of insecurity that my glass will get lost sooner or later)
9. Visit 3 states within 24 hours (haahaah..KL, N. Sembilan, Melaka…that’s count aight?)
10. Had a lovely dinner at Umbai (seafood and more Ikan Bakar, Syafiq’s treat!! Thanks a lot!! u’r such a gem!!)
11. Introduce the idea of "Civilization" and "urban lifestyle" to my friend who came from Paser Puteh, Kelantan..haaha..kidding…(but he really thought that we have to insert the Touch n Go card,instead of "touch"ing it…)
12. More shoes & shirts shopping spree!! (its megasale..and with a lot of contest around, i dont want to miss anything)
13. Spent a lot more time with my siblings, hangin’ out … and they’ve got this idea that I’m obliged to give them a treat..uh..kayap..
