Happy bday to u, u went to the zoo....

Yup, I actually went to the zoo to celebrate my birthday, though it didnt really turn out as expected bcoz "someone" was busy working. But that won't happen again, RIGHT? hahaa...anyway 3 of us ended up at the once KFC endorsed zoo negara. We noticed the abandoned KFC building was overrun by storks. I wonder what else has made their home inside...

Despite the rain and all it was pretty fun. Here are some pictures


hmm, what is this trap doing in the middle of the zoo? Maybe something has escaped.... and they didnt want to alarm the visitors, so they quietly set up a trap..there's a chunk of meat hanging inside too.


Ah, the bad hair day bantam, it was more friendly compared to the rest, the only one that doesnt run away when we try to touch it. The feathers were very soft.


The cute but evil goat. Do ask steffi for the evil goat video. We thought it was being affectionate but actually it was trying to kill us.


Uruk hai fan? Maybe the monkey has watched too much LOTR


Deodorant companies should make him their poster boy.

We took many more pics but I have not uploaded them yet,hehe...

King Kong (Spoiler Warning)

Yesterday was my day off. I took that opportunity to catch up with one of my old pals and also went to watch King Kong with her. Surprisingly a lot of traffic for a weekday outside the mall. We arrived 5 minutes too late to get our reserved ticket, but there were plenty of seats left after all.

The commercials went on and on until 15 minutes past the screening time stated on the ticket. Finally the show started. For a moment there I thought we had entered the wrong cinema, coz there were these charlie chaplin imitators prancing around on a stage. I took a while for me to remember King Kong's original setting was in that era. I actually expected it to take place in the modern era this time. Oh well....

Anyway, the show really exceeded expectations in terms of graphics and action. The dino vs Kong part was good, but the logic was way off. As if a dino happily gorging itself on a big hunk of meat would abondon its meal and do anything just to chomp a tiny human girl. Another part was when the dinos were half dead and tangled in vines off a cliff...yea, they could only think off chomping the girl and straining their last reserves of life to reach her despite the Kong pounding on their heads. Right... real logical....

As for the girl...well she showed promise in the beginning with an interesting personality and all... the she turned into a complete flop at the end of the movie. The ending was completely draggy. Kong gets shot by planes, girl cries and gets into Kongs way, Kong puts girl in safe place, girl climbs out again and gets into trouble, Kong saves girl and puts her back into safe place, girl gets out again... repeat repeat repeat until the last scene where girl and Kong stare at each other with sad faces. Repeat the plane shoots Kong and sad staring faces part a few more times..and the story ends....FINALLY. You cant expect people that have been sitting in a cinema for more than 3 hours and with full bladders to endure that type of ending comfortably. Me and my friend were like...."If you want to die, please..please just die... stop staring at each other already..." and "Haiyoh, that girl...keep crying and crying only..." If they had cut the ending part by half, it would have been much more acceptable...

Anyway I still think the movie is worth a watch, so for those of you who have nnot watched it, go knock yourselves out

I'm 22 for a moment....

Well after being sick for 1.5 weeks, I'm finally officially 22. Everyone goes like, oh you are still young, go chase your dreams, do whatever you want while you have the chance....I wish I was your age, yada yada.....

I maybe only be 22, but I feel old and jaded already. The world is changing, and not really in a good way either. I wonder how will things be like when I'm 40. Even now people are changing their gender until you cant tell who was originally what,little kids are killing their parents during their tantrums and and what not. Kids watch cartoons that I cringe at. Those with eyeballs being pulled out and tongues getting sawn off. Yikes, I really wonder what kind of people will they grow up to be. I'm starting to fear for my life, haha....

Kind of nostalgic to receive calls and sms from people that were once part of my daily life, but that I have not met for a long time. Its nice to remember the good times we had together, but sad that it probably will never happen again. I tend to keep thinking of "what was" instead of "what is". Must learn to appreciate what I have now instead of looking back.

I find myself still waiting for something to happen, something that will take me away from the mundaneness of daily life, something that will prod me to pack my bags and go seek my dreams. In the end I'm sure it is we ourselves who will make things happen. Its not much use just sitting and waiting. Oh well......there is always the hope that 1 million dollars will drop on my head someday, haha...yea right, dream on la....

Ok, enough of that, back to work ! :p
