Grey November

Short update :

Flywheel leaking.  Fixed.  Wallet big leak now.

———————————————————————

Thats one darn big warning sign!

Never set foot into the Bukit Jalil stadium ever since it was built way back for the ‘98 Commenwealth Games.  Still keep to my views that most “important” structures in Malaysia are under utilized for the price paid.

After much coaxing, I joined Grace to watch the live match between United vs Malaysia Boleh team.  Had some other friends at the match but they were all scattered around and the network coverage was, Malaysia Boleh.

Had my reservations to come to the live match.  The last time I was in a stadium was back in primary school, recall watching a live Perak footy match with concrete seats and the humid open air.

But I take them back.  The experience was nothing short of amazing.  We had more than a few transparent human beings at the railings, lalang supporters cheering whichever team that scores, United doing two Malaysia Bolehs, sardine packed stadium, opportunist Technology Park Malaysia charging for parking, ballfull Liverpool+Chelsea+Arsenal jersied fans, kompang driven Msian team fans, Malaysia Boleh replays on big screen, so on so forth.

Would I come again for another match?  Yeap, but not this coming Monday. =)

Caught Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen over the weekend and boy was I in for a huge disappointment.

read:spoilers ahead in my rants bout the movie.

1. This movie is IMHO confused in its overall direction.  its starts off slow, then bang boom kaapooww, lame joke, slow, bang boom, lame joke, sexual joke, bang boom, slow motion scenes of megan fox, tearjerker moment, clash booom poww, jumper moment,  joke, gundam 00 moments, then it ends with an EVEN WORSE ENDING THAN THE 1ST MOVIE.
2. There is NO plot, NO script in this movie.
3. The twins are annoying.
4. The Optimus Prime I grew up with suddenly became ultra cold and evil.  Killed decepticons without mercy or hessitation.
5. Ravage was not bad.  Bumblebee again, I reiterate, is a VW bettle around human size, and not some kickass Autobot.  And he CAN talk.
6. I’m confused.  Which is Soundwave now?  The 1st pesking information spy in the 1st movie or that satellite humping decepticon in the 2nd?  Where is his cassettes, his monotone robot voice?  WTF.  My fav decepticon totally butchered.
7. Devastator devastated my childhood memories.  The 1st time you were to see the original devastator you would go “WOW!”.  This devastator makes you go -_-”.  it looks like some retarded sea cucumber sucking in loads of sand.
8. Optimus borrows many cues from the Japanese anime “Gundam 00″.  While fighting Megatron and konco in the forest, he goes into Trans-Am mode and goes on a killing spree.  Against The Fallen (who???), he gets his “00 Raiser” and gains flight and temporary super autobot strength.
9. Jetfire (the old kapal terbang), can jump like Anakin Skywaller in Jumper.
10. WHO THE HELL IS THE FALLEN?  Unicron I tau.  Galvatron I tau.  Quintessons I tau.
11. Megatron in this installment macam watak sampingan.
12. The Megatron-Starscream relationship suddenly became so apparent in this installment after totally disregarding it in the 1st.
13. Regardless how hot Megan Fox is, who on earth are mikaela, sam and whoever?  I only know Spike Witwicky and Sparkplug Witwicky.

I can go on and on bout this.  Argh.

Will have a proper update when I get back from Medan.  With pictures.

I’ve been longing for one for a long long time.  Wouldn’t mind Takamine, Taylor, Gibson, Yamaha….

Well, I finally got one.

It’s not as branded though.  But for the price and full solid wood, it’s a steal.

My very first (of many more) Dreadnought sized Fina acoustic guitar!

The glass is always half full, not half empty.
