Stop and stare, you start wonder why you're here not there.....


On 1st September 2008, this was what I posted:


It looks like a 6-day working week will be the norm if I want to get my stuff finished. I found extra hours ie. going early, leaving late isn't really as productive. We'll see what happens as I start the 6:00 pm - 3:00 am shift today.

And now, here we are, 5th October 2008. What a crazy month it has been. In addition to packing in 14 hour days, I worked Saturday's as well.

So much has been happening, it isn't funny and I didn't have time to blog.

I'm behind on my regular TV fix. The series that I need to catch up on:

a) Supernatural - Season 3
b) Prison Break - Season 3
c) The Batman - Season 5
d) Heroes - First 3 episodes of Season 3
e) Knight Rider 2008 - Episode 1

There were things that happened at work and I was gobsmacked! The changes came like a tsunami, we didn't see it coming. And there was no time to recover when the next bit of news came.


I've been given an offer - something which might work out for the better. And I've given my response. Now to see what and when it happens.

I lost my Credit Card at TGIF's last weekend. I passed it to the waiter got the slip back but failed to notice that they didn't give the card back. I managed to block the card before further transactions were made.

I sent an email via the website as well as to the email address printed on the receipt and I didn't get a response until 2 days later. The GM said that they were busy due to the Hari Raya holidays. He/she apologized and promised me some vouchers. Let's see what happens.

Because of the Hari Raya holidays as well, my card will be sent to me, but delayed of course.

I decided to give Carl's Jr. another go a couple of weeks back. And this confirms it, I was conned the first time around:





This is what Chilli Cheese Fries are supposed to look like!


They forgot my cheese the first time I ordered my Chilli Cheese Fries. The combo of a Double Western Burger, Chilli Cheese Fries and a medium drink was abit too much for me to stomach. Or was it?

Maybe I should go for a 2nd round to see if its really too much. I guess the Chilli Cheese Fries is best shared but no one else at home consumes beef so.....

In between all that's been happening, I was at the launch party of the official Malaysian SONY Playstation 3 release. I want one too!

Because I was rushing to catch the bus to work, I couldn't take more photos. There were some Cosplay girls, competitions and the queue to be the first 3 in line started 2 days before! It was even out in The Star newspaper.

I'd love to have a SONY Playstation 3 too. Maybe when "The Dark Knight" Blu-Ray is released later this year.








2-Disc Blu-Ray Limited Edition!




In the meantime, more info about the official Malaysian SONY Playstation 3 here.

The new Honda Civic is due out later this year. I've seen some photos online, pretty nice. A lot better than the old/current design.

I've also did some changes to my Hot Toys Joker. Smudged the makeup a little bit more, resulting in a look that's less "panda-eyed":

And finally, "The Dark Knight" figure is out! Some stores have already received their shipment. I should be getting mine within the next few weeks if Rey gets his shipment in.








Hot Toys The Dark Knight suit and Batman Begins suit



It's gorgeous. But some people complain that its still too bulky and Christian Bale in suit was slim in the movie.

Some guy actually modified the body by removing excess plastic and came up with the results below. Beautifully done.





Not only that, She Predator Machiko is expected to arrive this month as well:












Can you say OUCH 2 times, really, really loudly?
