Not too late (to become a kid)

Having odd parents relationship when you are just a kid forced you to skip certain important parts in your life. I have to admit here that I don't share the routine that any other kids had during their childhood (in the sense of having fun). The odd relationship between my mum and dad forced me (or should I say, made me commit) to not having fun and instead grow up faster. I had multiple imaginary friends as a results, learned many language much more later in my life and, you could say an expert at hiding feelings and listening to people. I am grateful for it (the way my parents raised me) though for it made me different from the rest. I learned by heart that secrets are not burden, just treasure and human can hold their drinks (alcoholic) at very early ages (say...6 years old?).

PES 2009: C. Ronaldo, now with his signature freekick!

Which is why you would find me still acting (or I rather say behaving) like a kid because I am. Haha, its fun imagining people who would think hard reading (or trying to) this post i.e " what the hell is Mike talking about?" Just want to say, don't mock me if I still play video games or why I never had a girlfriend (or a virgin in that case), I'm just catching up.

Kalang Roar the Movie

Kallang Roar the Movie is about the Singapore team that won the Malaysian Cup in 1977 against Penang. I have to admit that it is a shock to know that Singapore can do a movie of this calibre (of course I am evaluating from the trailer alone). Not that I had anything against them, I admire their crea Check out the star of this team (and those who add colours to their lifes). This is an excerpt from kallangroarthemovie blog at blogspot when they were casting for the players (I wished I knew about this, I wanted Mokhtar Dahari role!).

1. *Kim Song* – (20s) Very hardworking, good looking, traditionally Chinese in character. Sometimes even rigid.

2. *Dollah Kassim* – (20s-30s) The Gelek king of the 70s. Skillful striker. Jovial and brazilian in nature. Soft spoken. Friendly. Enjoys the game.

3. *Rajagopal *– (20s-30s) Most skillful player in Singapore team, with his one shot one kill banana kick corners. A courageous coward. Can be heroic, but would not push beyond his own limit to become even better. Comical but how-lian.

4. *Mohd Noh* – (20s) The David Beckham of his time. He is a Japanese malay. Coming from a poor family, he balances the challenge of going out of Singapore singer Rahimah Rahim and playing for his nation. Good looking, very shy.

5. *Samad Alapitchay* – (20s-30s) Captain of Singapore team. Most charismatic, strong leader. But plagued by gambling and money problems. Strong tall, superhero jaw. Tall. Well built. Curly maradona hair. Charismatic acting required. Uprighteous. Looks like a leader.

6. *Majid Ariff* – (30s-40s) One of the greatest players in Singapore in history. Loyal assistant coach to Uncle Choo.

7. *Boon Kheng* – (20s-30s) Best student of Uncle Choo and coach of the final team, penang, likes to munch on Keropok. Suppose to be evil version of uncle CHOO. Charismatic, intelligent.

8. *Mokhtar Dahari* – (20s-30s) Malaysia soccer god. Invincible. Bent on revenge after missing out on the Singapore Malaysia tie due to injury, and hence losing out his final chance to play in the World Cup, he sets his sights on destroying the Singapore team. A true professional, top class maradona like athlete with a power shot. Charismatic, excellent player with powerful legs.

9. *Arumugam* –(30) a.k.a Spiderman, long armed goalkeeper. Will wear long sleeves that extend beyond his gloves.

10. *Ah Tiang* – (30s-40s) colleague of Samad. Knows nothing about football, always coaxed into helping Samad. Compromising and irritable by Samad's exploitation of him.

11. *Kim Song's Father *– (40s-50s) has had enough of football. Only wishes that his youngest son settle down with a stable job and get married. Old father who looks bochup and has weight in his words.

12. *Kim Song's mother* – (40s-50s) wishes for more communication between father and Kim Song. Very loving of Kim Song and also the bridge between father and son communication)

13. *Samad's wife *– (20s) Noorizan - a supporting wife who believes in her husband a lot.

14. *Doctor *– (40s-50s) tells Uncle CHOO he has Gangrene. Compassionate and unfazed by uncle Choo's temper.

15. *Eric Paine* – (30s) Caucasian goalkeeper of Singapore with black eyes.

16. *Edmund Wee* – (20s-30s) Chinese goalkeeper of Singapore. Strong arms and earnest personality.

17. *Rahima Rahim* - (20s) Famous singer during the 1970s. Gorgeous and classy.

Singapore Players vs Penang Players for the Malaysian Cup Final Match 1977.

Now I wonder when will Malaysia make a movie about our football heroes. Super Mokh perhaps? Later, I love peace.

How old is Heskey?

It was Wembley, where the grass looked and seemed so soft I could sleep on it. Beckham played, Brown scored(his first for England), Terry captained, Gerrard slipped(and slipped) and oh my PSP, was that Emile Heskey? He still play? How old is he? I remembered when he played with Owen back during the Liverpool days, he should be 5 THOUSAND years old then. Now he should be like 50 - 60 THOUSAND years old. Jeez, he sure has a long life. Jankulovski scored from a free kick, where I suspect that David James has been poured with stick-on-the-ground mantra. I stuck on the 1-2 scoreline, England losing. Why did not I watch it until its over? Capello took Rooney off, thats it. And Rio. And Arsenal bought Silvestre. What is this all about? Later, I love peace(and Manchester United).

GODA & Latte@8 (& Reaper)

Yet, another brilliant tv series from Malaysia. With part narrative and monologue technique in the series, this could be the best series. But why only half an hour? Ahh, whatever, I need to absorb all the advise anyway. Catch it on 8tv at 9.30 p.m every Thursday.
Jason Lo is back! Now with some new concept for Latte(in 4th season but named season 3A for superstitious reason), this is definitely my favourite talk show. Thunder Chow? A weatherman named Thunder? Woww!! On air every Friday night at 11.00 p.m.
Also on 8tv(oh I do idolize 8tv) is Reaper. Been a long time since I watch American series on Malaysian tv(since Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives ended, and also all other Lost thing). But this is good. Reaper is on your fool box on 10 p.m, Friday and repeat is on Thursday, 11.45 p.m. Should I continue watching it on tv or should I download it? AHHH! Tough choice(not really). Later, I love peace(and I hate stuck-on-this-level game). Oh, you can catch up all this(well, not all really, just some which they got full license to) on http://www.8tv.com.my

Marina Bay (and some Merdeka deco)

Went to Marina Bay for the Umpteenth times. That day, I like to do something cool. I want to break in right into the Sea horse's body.
No, it is not as difficult as you would think. The lock for the door was bought at Handy Mart, where I can buy my lock-picking stuffs, and cost only RM 19.90. Man, my boxer worth more than that(considering my boxer protecting something WAY MORE valuable than the Seahorse, I retracted my statement).
Right before I was trying to break in(I'm doing "the cigarette adrenaline boost"), some sea creature which apparently has something NOT in common with the seahorse said that Mr/Ms Seahorse hated it when its nose is touched. The nose is like the crown of the body for seahorses.

I touched it!(Of course I can touch it. I'm not a Hobbit) Look at the sea horse's expression. Squealing like some coward, eyes opened wide, acknowledging my power and superiority. Now you know who the boss is eh? Hahaha(I continued my evil laugh for the next 5 minutes). Bad timing. Hafiz's girlfriend loved the seahorse so much that she hit me with multiple punches. Lucky she hit like a girl she is. She should know better, its PINCHING that hurts for guys, not PUNCHING. A free massage from Osim is more like it.Seems like Hafiz agree with his girlfriend. Ahh, what the f**k? Don't you know seahorses change their sexual organs at will? That is creepy(and amazing of course, sorry GOD).

Afte messing with the sea horse's emotions, did some helping with a poster. The National Day poster it is. It reads ' Happy Anniversary 51 Years'. Sounds like Malaysia married with some other country(oh yeah they did! With parts of Borneo!).

Destruction at JLN CINA and JLN BENDAHARA

The old shops strips at Jln Cina and Jln Bendahara are being demolished. What are they thinking? I'm all for conservation. Maybe they don't know how to preserve historical buildings. Look what have they done, turning Miri into a real city??

This is where 'Tepong Kopi Cap Ah Moi' first started, selling and caffeinating Mirians.

Have you watched KAMI? Oooo~ now you know where they got the idea.

If you could not read out what it says(either in English or Kanji), this is the Foochow Association Miri. Still haven't been touched, unlike the shop besides it.

This too? The ever important Tai Tong Lodging House? Now where would all those call girls(local and foreign) operates? Oh no, I never use their service, I'm shy around women.

Look at the colours, it is Maybank, not? Geez, they are good at pirating EVERYTHING.

Nasi Ayam Air Cond(Air Cond(itioned) Chicken Rice). Who would not want to try that? Too late now. Lets hope something good will sprout in the place of these old timers. Later, I love peace.

Miri Ice Skating Rink *Updated*

Miri has its own ice skating rink, or at least that what it seems to look like. Perhaps just a deception, maybe inside it( it wasn't opened when we're there) is just a big, fat freezer/chiller room. Look at the name, Boulevard Smart Ice? What is Smart Ice? It can think or it prevent you from falling down? Skating time my arse! More like falling time(oh, I don't ice skate, just BMXing). I'll update about this Smart Ice when it is open. Anyway, the location is in Boulevard Hypermarket, upper roof.

I noticed this (well, someone else noticed it actually, I was too busy looking at people) during waiting for the movie (The Mummy : The Tomb of The Dragon Emperor) to start. Kedai PC Anda? In English it is Your PC Store/Shop. Me? The shop belongs to me? Am I rich?

Eh? What does this picture doing here? I remember this. Aznan(or was it Akmal) bought it then Adha(Gergasi Lembah, sorry Adha) drank most of it. Good drinks though. I'm not sure if it is still available. Later, I love peace.
** I have an update on the skating rink. Turns out that you actually skate on ROLLER BLADES on a floor which are AIR CONDITIONED so it would APPEAR like you are skating on ICE. RM 7.00 for half an hour or was it RM 5.00? I don't really remember, just thought the business operator is some funny guy. Now this is really having a CRACK of time. Smart Ice my A**e!

Demon Barber

I love not working (at least a reason I'm still not working). Like everyone else or the selected ALL in the class, they work in some good/great/vavava companies. I'm not like that. I work on my own, I'm my own boss (another reason..). What did I do?



Oh yes, I love ruining other people's look through their hair(especially if they are MORE good looking than em). For a clearer picture, visit Abg Nel Hidayat fotopages at http://fotokrafter.fotopages.com/ or not (this haven't been posted yet during publication of this post).

Apollo

I love Apollo chocolate layer cake. Why? For the softness and healthy ingredient, not to mention the taste of chocolate between your teeth, only those who hate chocolate would see this as their enemy.

And the best part is, since the price of all items has rise up, Kenyalang orPasu or Ng Sian Hap still offer the lowest price in almost anything(RM 6.30 in every other place); e.g Apollo chocolate layer cake or GP alkaline battery. Miri finest store, we support you for this reason!

GP Ultra alkaline battery, free 2 battery. Price? RM 7.00. SB 600 flash not included. Later, peace to all.
