..I kinda had expected...

more actually from this event.

considering the fact that we are one of the largest motor vehicle markets in the asean region, the number of car exhibits and the number of players who took part, were kind of disappointing...

i'm talking about this years klims (kuala lumpur international motor show) held at the putra world trade centre recently...or for that matter the annual klims event for as long as i can remember..hmm

the models (cars i mean) on display were either already available on the road or about to be launched, with 4 exhibit halls and a quarter of that space already taken up by proton & perodua, there weren't that much space left to accommodate any other makes..or maybe they just decided it's not worth their while to participate...

anyhow, i guess at rm20 per entry, not much should be expected...and if you can just see the below pics i took, then you would have seen pretty much most of the exhibits at klims..i didnt bother to take every single car model on display as they were like those movie extras, just to make up the numbers or maybe just to fill up leftover space


..but all's not lost when i managed to catch this really cute & funny lady "promoter" (i think she'll scream if she ever hears someone calling her that..hehe) at the asimo (honda) exhibit. she was like talking non-stop while riding on a one wheel anti-gravity, almost gyroscopic-like type of gadget, and wheezing back & forth and across the stage the whole time...chatting about this robotic vehicle that she's sitting on and talking about having insights (that produced the asimo vehicle) that can change the world we live in..(hint2, hmm must also be referring to the honda insight)....oh man, she's such a natural, all those cajoling, and teasing and interacting with the audience..she's good, really good especially when all her facial funnies get shown on a huge projector screen !!....(she's the last pic on the bottom right)..


i actually spent > 30 minutes just listening or rather getting entertained by her.. i believe the organizer should just pay her the rm20/ person entry charge cause she deserves it..!!

a bit of hype..

...and more..

so..i went to watch this movie last sunday with a friend. it wasnt really planned. we just happened to be walking around at berjaya times square and wah lah..the cineplex was right in front of us..and we saw the poster for this movie..

Now Showing "The Social Network"...woot2..we've been wanting to watch it since a while back..and it was perfectly beautiful timing on that day..nothing to do on a sunday, walking around in a shopping complex, no new handphones to buy and too early still for dinner...hmmm


...anyway, it was good from the minute it started to the end when the credits rolled. a pretty good insight into the minds of geniuses (hmmm..as compared to us mere mortals who are more on the idiotic side i guess..hehe), the drive and focused aspirations of these entrepreneurs to achieve their dreams, plus the necessary "wild and treacherous" lifestyles that must accompany such dreams.. :P

in any case, it's amazing to kind of be able to see how a small idea, sparked by an emotional incident, eventually gave rise to a global social networking platform and in turn revolutionizes the way we communicate with each other..wah and they say big successes come from small things..hmmm..so true eh??!! you guys should go see it..

what the...??

..what was that all about?

had gone to watch a movie at the pavillion with a friend yesterday. we were queueing up for the tickets and just really wondering which movie to go for, when my eyes saw this really interesting poster of the movie "Skyline" on the wall and i thought, wow..looks kinda cool, looks like it could be quite interesting..let's go for it..

5 minutes into the movie, i turned to look at my friend with this OMG expression on my face and i had the same reaction from him..urrgg..i think the alien got me there and then, and that was it, until the end of that movie..i was totally stunned, frozen in an alien timeline, unable to move my limbs or keep my eyes open to witness the continuous assault on my numbed senses...i fell asleep.........

here's the trailer link .. if you go see the movie, do let me know if you are just as mesmerised by it.. :OP

anyhoo, i had a pretty nice italian pizza for dinner at the valencia in taman segar after that, so all was not lost despite the gloomy weather and the really2 horrible movie.. hehe

hmm..looks good eh..

but...looks can be deceiving like they always say...

..had a family dinner just yesterday at this little restaurant near my place. as usual kinda crowded and this time i noted an extension to another portion of the building. hmm, business must be good. and i remember the dishes served here to be rather tasty and nice...but that was like about a year ago..and so, we ordered the usual array of seafood dishes and our expectations were reminiscently high..

but alas..we were somewhat disappointed. the dishes came out looking really mouth-wateringly good but when we tasted them, something was missing..we felt it was kinda salty in the deep fried sotong with pepper, the crabs were fresh but were rather tasteless despite the salted eggs added, curry fish-head looked really good but tasted quite bland..

the only one that was nice were the prawns with spring onions, which were fresh & succulent and perhaps coming in second was the stir-fried asparagus & french beans, again probably as a result of the fresh prawns used.

all in all, it wasnt the best dinner we had but considering the price for 7 seven persons at RM232, it was reasonable..the portions were really huge though..

so if you are into huge portions of seafood at reasonable pricing, although not as tasteful as you'd want it to be, you may want to check this place out. maybe you can get lucky with tonnes of other dishes that we didnt try.. :O)


this restaurant located somewhere near bukit tinggi 2, klang..

this just aint ever gonna end..

...right?

just when i thought i had the best and the latest gadget to play with, out comes an announcement of this new toy...aiyoo, looks like i gotta really go print some money...haha

with 7 inches of screen & 16M colours, that's just gonna make my world a lot more beautiful..woot !! on the other hand, it might just feel a bit awkward answering a call & having to slap that 7 inches on my face, luckily it's flat & not long and cylindrical...hahaha

anyhoo, i just can't wait for it to be launched here. just hope the pricing will not require me to go rob a bank.. :o)

folks, you are looking here at the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which i believe will blow both the iPad & iPhone away in one single launch...kekekeke

weird one eh..

..had this weird dream that kept playing the whole night..

..it was like i had a wife and a kid, a nice little family, but i was able to go back and forth in time and view the connections i had with them. and in each period of time, we would somehow come together as a family...through the ages. and in one of those time-porting experiment, i was able to leave a pen mark on my "wife's" hand and fast-forwarded to another time, sure enough, she bore that mark on her hand..woooweeee..this dream telling me something? coz i got no wife and kid neh....hahahahahaha !! on the other hand, i suppose it just kind of confirms for me the probable "existence" of reincarnation, rebirth, recycle whatever (haha), never-ending life yadda, yadda, etc..or maybe it's just my imagination gone wild or perhaps the fear that death would one day consume me and i'm working hard to come up with all kinds of excuses to come back to this world..Oooo..but the thought of having to go first before i can come back is a bit scary,no? Why hasnt anyone come up with any no-need-to die pill??

on another note, my affair with the HTC Desire was brief, very beautiful but very very brief. hehe.. coz i really should have gotten this one in the first place !! but it's better late than never.. kekekeke :) you see HTC, although i like the solid feel of your body, your Sense UI that works so well with android, Samsung Galaxy's super amoled screen and it's built-in 16GB internal memory just bowled me over....and now i can install like a thousand apps on my phone...hehehe !!
