my day out yesterday

okay, i noe its kind of my fault that i haven't posted a blog since god knows when. so sorry about that... wow, i don't really know how buzy i really am these days, just got my internet 3 days ago. honestly if you happen to want to sign up for streamyx (broadband) in malaysia then you need to prepare to lay down some money for your car fuel as well. since i am not staying in my previous address anymore, i had to shift my address from one end of penang to the other. to do that i had to open up my eyes for available parking lot in a traffic jam-proned city. and as everybody knows, the police in malaysia are so damned efficient when it comes to taking down the car plate number and of course in collecting fines. which policemen wouldn't be then if it comes to adding incentives to their staid and stoic income? to be honest, i would do that too. as for streamyx, well, i asked for a change of address 2 months ago, had to go to the office by myself for like 5 to 6 times per month. 3 times were for the installation of my new telephone line, and the rest for the activation of my internet and i thought it was only Brunei who were severely inefficient when it comes to work... no offence, i am just talking about the people who wronged me when i was there, (which is quite a scant number)...

oh yea enough of my internet connection, yesterday i just went out with friends to watch benjamin button. it was actually a last minute decision. well if you want me to comment about the movie, then i'll only say this: it is not what you would normally rate a fantastic show, nor is it a bad one, but then the show is definitely interesting. it will really keep you on your feet until the very last second of the show. my friend even shed tears when brad pitt became a kid. you all should watch it then you'll know what i am talking about. see that picture above? the lil man is actually brad pitt, the effect of the makeup is unbelievable. have you all seen the trailer? if you did, then you'll get quite a good summary of the show, but then suprisingly you'll still get a lot of new things popping out. so i'll say this, two-thumbs up to the author!!!


have you all heard about the Kim Gary restaurant before? see the black and white 'wall' where a lot of people are sitting behind that. that is the restaurant. well it is actually opened by a hongkee (i think), with the hong kong actor Kim Gary as their representative. one of the menu pages from the restaurant
well we actually went there to eat yesterday, so if you live in malaysia and also have an mJ card, then you'll get a 5% off your total bills. well guess what the 5% was all about... i'll tell you anyway, when you go to any restaurant in malaysia, they will have all those promotions set so strikingly on the table and beside the restaurant entrance itself. then when you finish your food, your bill will always come this way:

the long list of food you ordered
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
.
.
.
then comes your 5% offer (wow you will feel really happy here!!!)
.
.
.
then comes the goverment taxes, which is the same price as the 5% offer
(now you thought okay, no prob, anyway nothing in this world is free, but the bill still goes on...)
.
.
.
service charge (you think okay, nvm anyway they work hard too)
but then guess what when you look at the price... wah!!! the price is the twice the amount of the discount prices and the goverment taxes. haha, it was really funny that no one around me showed any expressions when they looked at the prices. our total bill was 108 so the service charge was around 11 to 12 dollars. you really have to take down your hat and bow to the financial manager of the restaurant.
anyway apart from the bill itself, the food was actually quite well done. i like to think that they speciallize more on the line where western meets eastern delicacies, but if you are conscious of your body size then be prepared for a full week of diet meals after you take a meal there.

o about the next pic, it is actually taken from our shopping spree in the same malls several weeks ago. had really a lot of fun dressing up in the same t-shirt. my friend, maybelle said that we look like a group of waitress with a manager in the middle.friends going from top,clockwise: xinrou, fennie, canness, alexis,me, maybelle, li xuen, hooi ying.

actually the t-shirts in malaysia are nice right? i didn't look quite as nice in that tee though, haizz, it always goes down to me not filling out any clothes... nvm, anyway, who says i don't look nice in this pic!
