Back. Not that my computer is back and working fine. I’m still handicapped, and using my brother’s com, I can’t wish for a better time than now to actually stop sleeping late for so many nights. I’m feeling the lethargy. Maybe because soccer and Sentosa took some toll on my body, but overall I’m still strong. Still doing fine I guess. Haha!.

So far in life, many things have been going on and of course, for future planning, Langkawi or Tioman might be a holiday destination for a good break in between another look-like-it’s-getting-fast-as-time-travels-by 2008. Went to a travel agency in Bukit Panjang Plaza and did a little enquiring, but the counterstaff insist on helping me calculate the whole package deal, and yes, I got the details.

I realise that holiday trips are suddenly quite addictive. Like many people are in a sudden craving to get the hell out of here. Maybe it’s the stressful lifestyle here. Or it could be the mounting monthly expenditure that one has to face in this urbanised society. Painstakingly true, my dad is also planning to go to Cameron Highlands, just to get the shit out of this place for awhile. Beks, Louis, Bert. Are you reading this? (Hint Hint.). LOL.

The other and only reason is about the shitty weather that we are facing here. I guess it will be DARN GOOD to get to the top of Cameron Highlands to breathe out some smoke from our stinking mouths. Haha.

In my point of view, holidays are something that we must enjoy yet relax at the same time. We all know the fears of on flight tragedies, terrorist attacks, overseas kidnapping etc. But then again, if you think so much to the point that you will die just by going overseas, then it’s best that we make our holiday at Sentosa. Ain’t that already OVER-THE SEA? Malaysia is very near as well. It ain’t overseas. It’s overSTRAITS. LOL. Back to thinking too much. If one thinks too much about safety, then forget about going overseas with him.

Safety, like everyone would know, is something that we couldn’t compromise. Yes, we must ensure safety at all times. But thinking about safety and ensuring safety together is as equals to misery and worries. We do not need to always think about safety. Or how are you gonna enjoy yourself? One is old enough to know the limits of life and safety.

If you ever need to travel, take some time to sit down and think about it as going overseas is a lot of money as well. And holidays do not need to be rushed. As in, you can always go overseas in the future, as long as we save up enough money, need not always be now. =)

Sorry I couldn’t put up any Pic of the Day due to my computer’s failure. My brother’s laptop couldn’t come a better time than this. =)

Harold and Kumar : Escape from Guantanamo Bay

Filed under: Reviews of Movies, hobbies, humour, interest, life — egomarc @ 1:36 am

LOL. Seriously, seriously. This movie made me laugh my socks off. Never had a good laughter from crude jokes and actions from this 2 sinful yet idiotic people in the movie industry.

The haha plot – During the same morning that Harold and Kumar eat at White Castle, Harold learns that Maria, the girl he lusts after, has set off for Amsterdam. The pair decide to pursue her so that Harold can proclaim his love. However, an overzealous airline passenger mistakes Kumar for a terrorist, and the plane is diverted as the duo get stuck in a case of mistaken identity.

Totally, don’t expect much on the CG. Because, in a crude and sexual humour movie, don’t expect so much but just humour. John Cho and Kal Penn are just pure fun maniacs to have fun with. And it’s not like the first time they are into shit like this and that. Haha. Their senseless script and story has made the movie a rather humourous one.

Be prepared for more vags than boobs this time really. It’s just damn funny. I can’t believe they actually had a double for the US President. Haha. Well, in all, I couldn’t describe much about everything, but the storyline is like… a story, with the addition of humour that is gross, sick, sexual, crude, idiotic, lame and you know how the length of silly descriptions can go. I love the movie though. Enough to keep me awake for a few hours at least. Haha.

Ratings4 out of 5 stars (FOR THE HUMOUR!. LOL.)

NOTE – I might not be blogging this few days because my computer is down and out. Once I get it back in shape, I will be back blogging regularly. Sorry Peeps. =|

Shin Kushiya

Filed under: Friends, Restaurant Reviews, food, hobbies, interest, japanese, life, money, singapore, whatever — egomarc @ 1:05 am

Haha. At long last, after much awaiting, I manage to feast at this restaurant. I was at the new outlet at Suntec. Went there for dinner with Suban, Colin and GL (Please don’t bother asking the full initials of this person. If you are persistent, then go to the net and search it yourself. LOL.)

We ordered quite a number of dishes actually, and for most people who frequently dine at Japanese restaurants, most will know that Shin Kushiya is more popular with their so called “kebab”. The Kebab is at most a price of a plate of sushi, and its definitely tasty.

The main course alone was also fantastic. I ordered my favourite Katsu Curry Don. I felt that the curry for this dish is extremely different as there’s a combination of Chicken Pongtay and Japanese Curry. Totally a different experience. The serving was different as well, as they serve the curry seperately in another bowl. Their chawanmushi was normal, so no point I ordered it although the egg was quite smooth. The Sashimi is a must try. We ordered the Salmon belly and Swordfish. The swordfish impressed me actually. I couldn’t really find nice ones ever since the Haru Dining one.

Overall, the ambience is nice, the service is great. Warm and friendly staff and supervisor. I got free vouchers for alcohol there as well. LOL. Price is definitely not the question as gastronomy comes first most of the time. Hahaha. =)
