How I Review HEROES VOL II... halfway season 2.

IF you are also an ardent fan of Heroes, you should know by now that Season 2 consists of two volumes Vol II and Vol III.

So, to sum all up, the new characters introduced were all BORING!!! Alejendro and Maya are just fill the gap characters. Monica? Is that character f*cking necessary.? OR the just have to put in another black after killing of Nikki’s husband?

All and all, as usual Claire as usual is really good onscreen. Just love looking at her, wonder if she plans on getting into motion pictures. She has the adorable quality that make a good romantic comedy film. Her timing in delivering comedic moment and also emotional intense moment are beyond question among the best in the cast. And she is one of the character that made me stay, well other than Hiro.

New characters worth introducing- The flying Claire’s new love interest. And that electrifying bitch who turned out to be quite a hero towards the end.

So, Let’s see who died and SHOULD STAY DEAD!!!

Nikki. Kill her off already. Nikki-kid-hubby are the worse plot in season 1. Why bring them back in season 2? The kid is the only one should stay alive cause he had the coolest power in this modern hi-tech world. Hope this time she’s really dead.

Nathan? WTF? You are dead the second time.. and this time stay dead. Stop giving him his daughter’s blood for speedy recovery. After all we already got his replacement if they were to form a coalition. The flying man would be claire’s bf.

Maya- die bitch! Your power is weird. But it’ll be cool if you can control them. Anyway, Maya can be dangerous to both good and evil. But then She’s so needy and stupid, she don’t deserve that power. Let Sylar have them!

Coolest character this season will go to: Claire’s father! There’s never one episode where he doesnt make sense.
So Vol II is a good transition to Vol III, but quite suck if it stands on its own. I bet Vol III will be the best Vol of all. Cause there are alot of built up plot awaiting for an 'unleash'.

Cheers.

How to Eat Alone When You are ermmmm ALONE?

Tonight, again, eating dinner alone. My second month here, dinner alone has become a normal routine. I don’t know. Funny… somehow I have no problem eating by myself and it has led to a preference now. Why?

1) When I go back home from work, I’m normally very tired.. exhausted. When I’m exhausted, I can’t handle conversation well. And When I’m hungry and tired I can’t handle myself well. So, others maybe in danger around me. Nevermind, it's the anger management issues....

2) I love eating infront of a tv shows? Just like during university days, my uni ex-roomie would understand this (wonder how he’s doing) I burned a lot of tv series during my uni days, and I cant believe it, I’ve started to watch them all back. And it’s stil funny especially That 70’s Shows. Have all complete seasons of those. Friends, Macolm in The Middle. The classics, Seinfeld. Frasier. Desperate Housewifes. Lost. And oohh Punk’d. arrr I don’t know what has gotten into me but I’m that type of person who likes watching good movies or TV series over and over again! Weird? Screw you!!
3) I don’t have a car to ask people out to accompany me (not yet! Car will arrive after Xmas.. woohoo) . And I don’t like to trouble people into picking me up. I don’t trouble people when I’m back in KL, so I don’t see any point why I should now. But if they offer, that’s a huge difference. Would consider.

4) Actually where ever I go, I usually take some time to adapt and familiarize before I feel comfortable. I socialize better when I’m comfortable. I can be a social retard some time. I mean work has already require me to talk a lot, to stay spot on and give moral boost speeches (maki hamun is more accurate actually haha) all the time, dinner is the time to unwind the hectic day. So I need to be choosy on who I go out with for dinner. Hence, eating alone saves me from having to think all of all that.
5) To cut down smoking? I smoke a lot when friends around. Baru syiokk. Sekarang layan rokok Astro. You won’t find that in KL. Banyak giler rokok seludup Filipino di sini.
Comfort of eating infront of laptop. It's maa heaven.
Ayam masak honey. Sedap beb harga RM 5.50 only.
Disaster. Jalan kaki gi makan luar, fast food lagi. Dinner Pizza hut sesorang kali ke Lord knows how many times. I lose count..
My favourite dessert of all time!! Yes, i wanna be married with someone who could make caramel, or buy them for me.
Tapai my fav dessert after caramel.. Bhest giler.. yang berair air tu lagi masyiok.. ohyeahhh. Why am i smiling hearing berair? Nevermind, dont bother tapping my thought!

Yeayyy.. Choc is good. It makes you happy. Thanks Icak for sending those chocs.

Cheers all.

Warmest regards,

How to Know if You are Feeling Lonely or Alone?

1. You were watching heroes just by yourself, and suddenly concluded how dumb that stupid frikin Doctor Suresh was and said out loud ‘what a dumb f*ck’ then look around and realised you were talking to yourself and laughed,(despite wanting that remark to be reciprocated), now that's feeling alone.


2. You were in the middle of alien Sandakan town at a pirated DVD shop chitchating with this good looking salesgirl but couldn't get thru because of language barrier and then received consecutive numerous calls from friends, collegues and work. Occupied, you suddenly realized you were not getting the attention from the one person you needed and wanted the most, now that's feeling lonely.

You don’t necessarily feel lonely when you are alone.
But you sure are feeling alone when you are lonely.

Go Figure!

Yus

How I Got Myself Locked Outside the House??

Lately i'm having this inability to realise whether things are going wrong or otherwise. I mean, i dont know what's wrong with me but i am probably being too optimistic about life that i am taking bad things that are happening to me very lightly. But the thing is most of the bad things that are happening led to something better at the end? So how do i rate bad luck?

Ealier that day (well, yesterday), my flight back to KL was delayed, which i interpreted that as blessing in disguise cause i was able to spend more time with my parents. I've been missing them since the first day i was here in Sandakan, maybe i've always been in semenanjung and whenever i was far away like Perak during my uni years, i can just drive back or take a bus back, and can reach within 3-4 hours. Now that i'm seperated by the ocean, i chose to prove that it's just a flight away, and i'm still able to do that. OK yeah, i got to see them even for just a night stay.

I managed to solved my other problem as well, antara hidup dan mati case. Apparently, i live. and no body dies. oh well...

Anyways, a friend fetched me upon reaching the Sandakan Airport and belanja me at one of the japanese restaurant. He brought along his wife and son. I was never a fan of sushi or any ooonagee type food. I mean it's ok to try out as in have a taste of the food but not for real meal. But i was being polite and didnt know how to decline, after all he has fetched me, and his wife and son were also excited about going to eat there. so i went ahead with it. And found a new discovery that one whole set meal of sushi-like food can be REALLY FILLING. See, based on my initial feelings i ought to decline, but i didnt, and finally it went well. So, is something wrong with my senses or i simply dont believe in Murphy's law anymore? How can we tell that there wont be any good in every bad things that is happening us??? Chances are, we'll never know unless making a couple of good mistakes.

Now with a full stomach he sent me home, and when i got into the front door. Walla, it hit me! i couldnt recall putting the keys back into the bag when i took it out that morning. So, taking my own sweet time, i opened my bag slowly hoping that i have accidentally put it back out of reflex or something. blah blah blah ding dong ding dong. Keys confirmed on my bed in the Room in KL.


" Think positive!!!" I said. Dont freak out. Optimistic beb optimistic.

So, last night i stayed in the hotel. Darn, duit simpanan aku dah mula nak habis, buying new things for new home and all. I'm SO not gonna get married anytime soon. (Dont tell my Mom about this)

So bengang punya bengang di atas kebodohan dan ke'careless'san aku sendiri. Aku terus call adek aku bengang2 suh dia post itu kunci. hhahaha Tapi sebelum tuh aku sempat online kejap.. cari mangsa nak lepaskan stress aku. Masuk la daku ke YM kacau peminat peminat aku yg berlambak2 dalam list tu. ceh wah. Cam haram. Seb baik ade a few friends untuk di gangggu malam tuh. pastu terus aku tido, malas nak pikir.


I knew it's going to take till monday before the keys arrive. takkan nak stay hotel jer? adeh, i cant stop cursing myself on how careless i was about leaving the keys back in KL. At this point tak optimistic sangat lah.

So, bangun jer pagi ni dlaam kesejukan. baru kusedar, aku di bilik hotel yan airconnya letak 16C. patot la sejok. harap2 dapat membakar lemak lemak dalam badanku juga, pabila cuba melawan sejok itu. tetiber jer blog aku bertukar jadik blog BM. takper. itu la uniknya blog aku, takde syarat. Cecampur. Try to catch up with the switching English-BM-English yeah?

So, on my way to work this morning (yes i working on saturday.. screw you!!), i dropped by at my landlord's place. Asking for spare keys. Still it wont be much help as ive padlock the front entrance. No way i can get in without breakin in. Luckily a friend of mine jadik driver pagi nih, so ade la transport untuk bawak aku ke hulur hilir untuk pikirkan ape nak buat. and suddenly, this brilliant idea came. I remembered that i have the spare key inside the house for the freakin fonrt door padlock. So, we climbed over the kitchen balcony when no one was around and got thru kitchen door using the spare key from the landlord, once in the house i took the spare key for the padlock to open the front door. I MADE IT INSIDE!!! so my point again, this incident makes me closer to friends here in Sandakan. Otherwise i would just stick with my thick headed "I am independent i dont need friends" attitude. So, is that bad incident really that bad?? i can i just stick to being optimistic? Oh well.

Anyway, aku nak dedicate lagu bless a broken road kepada seseorang yg aku miss sangat sekarang ini. Amek!! aku dalam jiwang mode Suda. Cheers All. :-)

How I View Sandakan... PART ONE

Time really flies. My progress in settling down here has somehow gotten really slow by the day. Transportation has somehow is the biggest culprit in holding me down from conquering Sandakan. I've managed to make a couple of friends here, but since i dont really have a car to move around, my socializing with the society halted. Not that i am complaining but it's killing me knowing that i have limitation in moving around. However, I've resort myself to mini bus. It's called a mini bus, but in actually it's a van. This mini bus will go from village to village. I dont wanna use bandar as i feel it's an inaccurate depiction of the reality. Why call a pekan..bandar?
Sandakan has dozens of bandars. Altho.. the definition of bandar here is an area with 3 rows of shopshouses. Haha
Anyway, I'm already here about a month and 4 days but i havent felt like ive settled down here. I dont know.. there are still quite a few unresolved issues that i left behind. in KL i mean. After a month i'm starting to doubt myself on the decision coming here. Yes, the working experiences here is great but also very stresful, the downside is i dont have the channel to let Go. With no clean karaoke spots to go, i have to resort to karaoke di dalam kapal. There are lots of karaoke longues here though, with GROs around. but the feel is different. And bila masuk macam terpaksa rasa macam nak kena minum pula.

OKay first and foremost, letme bring you to bandar bandar which is located along the coastal highway. Bandar ni banyak jual ikan bakar. Which are really cheap. Siakap bakar can get dalam price rm 5- rm 7. Fish eaters should stay in Sandakan. FIsh are cheap... especially the raw ones. tapi kena rajin memasak di rumah la pulak.


Bayang aku macam darth vedder. Maybe aku keturunan Sith Lord. Erk. That's my transport to work. woohoooo. Actually this bus mini in the pic is among the good ones. Otherwise it'll be a very old van that is falling apart. Being in the mini bus has made me think a lot, like on why actually agreed on coming here. erkkk. remember, no complain! syyyy

I bet this was one of those sarang spots. Tak tahu what actualy happened to this club.

Coastal highway nih actually banyak juga setinggan. It's an eye sore. Sandakan was once said to be the filthiest town in Malaysia. But only at certain areas along this highway. As a whole, Sandakan is developing alot. You can see a more organised construction at the new town, Mile 4.

I focused on a wrong subject. There was this leaking tanker carrying diesel stopped in the middle of the road causing a traffic jam. The bomba was merely preparing for the worse if the tanker explodes or somthin. Finally, i found jam in Sandakan. God, i miss KL so much. hehe
Never entered this ship yard. But it is Along the way to my office tho..

Pergi kerja pun mau naik bot. One of the yard is on an island which takes me about 10 minutes boat ride from the yatch club.
Anyway, That's it for now. Basically the small towns in the pics are old towns. The new town in Mile 4 is a bit more fancy. Especially after 11PM. Ohyeahhh.
NEW HOME ADDITIONS... ohyeahh
Mari memasak. Kamu ingat ada amah mau masak untuk kamu??? Erk. why am i speaking in that tone. I'm catching up fast.
Cheers all. Sorry blog a bit boring. Tengah ngantuk nak tido. Hehe and guess what? I'm leaving to KL tomorrow for one night visit. Friday balik sinih balik. Malu nka ngaku but i declare myself... HOMESICK. There you go.... biarlah tak macho pon.

Best regards.
