Grey November

Till now, I’ve been holding a very neutral stand on the upcoming 2008 Elections. Maybe perhaps a too neutral point of view to the point of me not taking notice of what’s what and who’s who. But with all this campaigning going around town, it’s starting to get hard not to pay attention to the things these arses do.

Well, its no secret that BN has influence over everything especially in monetary terms.

FUYOOHHH!!!! MACAM KHEMAH!

But this is seriously overkill. And yes, it’s as tall as the lamp post.

Now the opposition can’t just stand back and not do anything bout that, can they?

Ain’t as potent as BN’s

Well, it’s half the size of BN’s “tent”.

Sorry for the quality of pictures. Driving while trying to take pictures can be kinda scary. So here I was driving around looking for something different. Guess what?

While Hitler shouts Sieg Heil, perhaps Badawi goes Negarakuku.

I hereby declare that I have nothing personal against the government of Malaysia nor Abdullah Badawi. I am not pro-opposition neither. Yes, BN has to go but let’s face it, they are the only ones capable of leading the country at the given moment.

Messing around with computer parts is normal for guys like me. I’ve done stupid stuff with my old P4 setup and I just did something to add to that sillyness.

Added to my collection this time round is a mouse pad.

Razer Mantis Control – Precision Mousing Surface

It’s not your ordinary mouse pad. It’s called a PRECISION MOUSING SURFACE. WTFreak.

The Razer Mantis Control is a premium mouse mat with intricately woven fibers called Fibertek™ cloth weave. Beside it giving superb mouse user-bility, the best thing about it is the size.

It measures at 444mm x 355mm. Yes. It’s bigger than a bloody LCD monitor.

You can get it at all major retail outlets for around RM80. Come to HardNet @ Taman Seri Langat, Kajang and you’ll get it much much cheaper.

Things have been pretty busy for me of late. Final semester work is fast piling up; Final Year Project, Civil Management Project, Marine Energy Thesis, Maritime Mini Project (Integrated Coastal Zone Management), Chemical & Biological Processes Mini Project so on so forth.

One particular matter I never expected to materialize was this.

I was interviewed by Shell Malaysia! Thank You God!

All I did was to forward my resume to UKM and the next thing I knew they gave me a call. My results are nothing to shout about but still I made it through to the Shortlisted Interview this afternoon in Damansara Heights after a screening interview in UKM a week ago. If I make it through this time round, I will be subjected to an 8-hour Shell Recruitment Day some time soon.

As promised Eng King, this post isn’t a food related.

Yesterday was Valentines and today is Single’s Awareness Day. WTFreak. Does a day like that exist? Perhaps for Gerald.

Zondervan Comparative Study Bible

Grace gave me the bible that I wanted to get a long time ago!

Emo right?

I got her ummm…I don’t know what it’s called.

This year round, I decided to take Grace to somewhere different from the usual fine dining restaurants. It’s a place called the Look Out Point situated in Hulu Langat, Selangor that has a full view of KL city.

One of the best views of KL City

Look Out Point is located along Jalan Hulu Langat which is on the way from Hospital Ampang and Puteri Park Plaza in Cheras/Ampang.

Is heaven shining upon the coming elections?

There are 3 restaurants in Look Out Point; Gasoline, Look Out Point Restaurant and the best of them all was BREAD & OLIVE Cafe.

Bread & Olives is the middle restaurant!

The restaurant was great with prompt service and excellent waiters. The Boss of Bread & Olive is Filipino, Spanish, Malaysian and Chinese. I think.

The Mexcican Dish is nice.

Pizza just rocks!

The killer point of Look Out Point is not the food though, but the view of KL city that is breathtaking at worst.

Dining with a view to kill.

Seriously this place is worth coming to regardless of occasion. Best come before 7 pm as the parking space is limited and you will have to park at the foot of the hill.

After sunset view

Look Out Point, Kompleks Pelancongan Menara Tinjau.
1.Exit the MRR2 at Pandan Indah Interchange.
2.Go straight until the T-Junction. Esso will be on your left. Turn right at the traffic light.
3.Take a left at the next traffic light
4.Take another left at the traffic light beside Puteri Plaza.
5.Turn right at the traffic light junction to Ulu Langat/Kajang after Taman Melur. (Please take note on this, you might missed this.)
6.From this traffic light the road is winding for about 3 km.
7.Look out for the sign board “Menara Tinjau”.
8.Will come across a food court on the right with carpark. Turn in and drive up the hill to the LookOut Point Restaurant.

Simply gorgeous.

=) Take a drive up.

I was back in Ipoh for the Chinese New Year jams celebrations. There wasn’t much to do especially with most of the shops closing for the festive season and traveling around in town was worse than KL’s daily crawls.

One of the few fine dining restaurants that was still open for business is Indulgence, now located along Jalan Raja Dihilir.

Their tiramisu is just out of this world. Pricing is also sky high @ RM 12 per serving.

I already had dinner so I settled for a piece of brownie at a more reasonable price @ RM 6 per slice. Prices in Indulgence match those at Italianies but at a smaller portions, so it might be a pinch. Nevertheless, the food at Indulgence has always been great, with presentations that will certainly make appetites grow exponentially.

Even the Royal Family of Perak dines here on weekends. Food for thought, huh?

On a lighter note, my car was nearly stolen back in PJ 2 days ago. Modus operandi is breaking the passenger lock and duplicating the key for the driver door and ignition. Please take note.
