Life is like a box of donuts

July 29, 2007

For donut-lovers like Homer Simpson, you have got to try this! Cos this buncha donuts I’m about to show you, will drive you gonuts!

I’m sure some of you guys out there heard about the new donuts franchise in The Curve. Yah, I’m speaking of Big Apple Donuts & Coffee outlet. I bought myself half a dozen today when I found out that the only branch besides the main outlet is in Seremban 2.

Boy, I was excited! I came home a happy kid. Dump everything aside so nothing could set me back from digging into my delicious collection of donuts.

Clockwise from top: Moonraker, Choreo, Mango Tango, Snowy, Walnut and Bananarama.

My first pick was Moonraker, shared it with my sis and we both loved it to bits. It’s coated with milk chocolate and sprinkled with cocoa cereal. It was heavenly. Choreo is topped with powdered Oreo which is definitely your pick if you love Oreo cookies. Mango Tango is sweet and dabbed with mango-flavoured cream. Snowy is covered with crème filling and sprinkled with vanilla powder. Walnut is glazed with dark choco and chopped walnuts all over. Lastly, Bananarama which sounded really cool is a combination of dark chocolate with banana-flavoured cream.

And moonraker is my ultimate fav! He he.

For donut lovers, you absolutely and definitely need to grab a bite of these. For those who dislike donuts, you’re an idiot! Lolz.

Thumbnails @The Star

July 27, 2007

I witnessed an unfortunate Malaysian made Optimus-Prime ended up on the side of the Puchong freeway after attempting to drift aimlessly despite loaded with tons of materials. Reckless driver!

That of course led to a massive traffic jam, in which I was caught in for approximately 40 minutes on a roasty afternoon last Wednesday. So I snapped a photo of it with my N73 as I drove pass it.

When I got home, I decided that I should post it to TheStar: Thumbnails to see if I’m lucky enough to grab the 50bucks reward. They called me the day after, which really made my day because I thought I’d be richer by 50 bucks by the end of the week.

Today morning, I received several sms-es from my friends telling me they saw the photo on the newspaper. When I flipped onto the page, kena char-tou.

Mana tau, pawned by this ‘ugry’ leopard-skin Kancil! Lolz.

The Alaskan Homer

July 25, 2007

A couple of weeks back, Gary, Jo and I made a deal that we will catch the premiere of The Simpsons Movie together. The reason was simple – we totally love The Simpsons to the hardcore bits and crumbs. Everything about them is awesome from the friendly neighbourhood in the town of Springfield to their very unique but witty personalities. What more, their sense of humuor!

Our favourite character had to be Homer, whom we adore especially for his annoying grunt D’oh! and his signature Bart-choke. He’s fat, lazy, gluttonous, clumsy and a borderline alcoholic which was his charm because there was nothing right about him. He love both Marge and donuts equally much. I think Homer will make a perfect donut advertisement, don’t you agree?

So, the three of us and Melvyn were at Cineleisure earlier just now to catch the premiere (if not the sneak-preview) of the movie. We couldn’t help but had to take a photo with the Simpsons family. Note the similarities of our attires, both Homer and me, of course minus the Duff-beer belly which I don’t plan to grow. Lolz

Every bits of the movie is hilarious, you gotto pay attention to catch their jokes and laugh your ass off. It too has surprisingly quite a handful of adult jokes and a thrilling action-packed adventure. I don’t wanna spill any spoilers here so go catch the movie at the cinema right away! Watch out for the Harry Poppler aka the pig :D

Remember to watch the movie till the end, because you will find Maggie uttering her very first word! (Oops…)

Enjoy the show!

Dead Silence

July 22, 2007

The four of us decided to bump in for a movie after canceling the initial mamak plan so instead of Putrajaya Tiki drove us all to Cineleisure. It was past midnight yesterday but surprisingly Cineleisure never fails to attract midnight movie goers. However our cinema was only partially filled, maybe because it was a horror movie. Syafiq and I were wearing khaki shorts and we we were almost frozen to death both by the full blast air-conditioner and the movie itself which was about to terrify all of us. ‘Dead Silence’ had certainly offered the unnecessary chill down the spine.

It was about 2.30 am when we walked into Hall 2 and found ourselves cramped at the side of the cinema with other people. Instead of our original seats, we moved to the back rows and found ourselves two sets of comfy couple seats which gave us the perfect view of the screen. Tiki and Roze were covering both their faces and ears in terror throughout the movie while Syafiq and me were peeking in between our popcorns n drinks. Okay, maybe that was a little too much but it was definitely creepier when you catch a horror movie in the middle of the night.

The story was a tale on the sleepy town of Ravens Fair about Mary Shaw, a ventriloquist who fancy her hand-made collection of vaudeville dolls whom she treats them as her ‘children’. After she was murdered, Ravens Fair has been plagued by death. The ghastly dolls from Mary Shaw’s collection have gone missing from the grave and reappeared over the decades. In the dead of night, wherever they are glimpsed families are found gruesomely murdered… with their tongues torn out, literally.

So you can expect the sight of humans with their tongues being ripped off and their faces all bloated up. It wasn’t just the movie that was scary, but there was this particular song that will keep playing in your mind after you’ve watched the movie.

“Beware the stare of Mary Shaw.
She had no children, only dolls.
And if you see her, do not scream.
Or she’ll rip your tongue out at the seam. “

Law of Gravity

July 18, 2007

When I got back from campus in the evening, I was frustrated to notice that the elevator has broken down yet again. The elevator indicator wasn’t displaying anything which obviously pointed out that it is dysfunctional at that instance. To my dismay, the only option I had was to climb the flight of stairs which at that point of time seemed eternity to me.

I’m quite sure you know what I mean after you have had an extremely exhausting day. Just when I was about to make a step towards the walkway heading up the stairs, two guys walked towards the lift and ended up in dismay just like I did earlier. I stood there observing for a moment, thinking some miracle could happen so I don’t have to climb the stairs.

After several attempts pressing the ‘UP’ directional button, nothing happened as well. So this dude pointed to his other friend the emergency switch (fireman’s switch) and said, let me show you magic! So he switched it on and triggered the alarm.

His friend was about to stop him from attempting something silly like that but it was too late. The alarm triggered. Several seconds later, I could see the elevator’s indicator being revived. It was flickering a little while and came to live. The lift came from Level 6 where my unit is to the Ground level. The three of us broke into laughter. This dude switched off the alarm before we proceed into the elevator.

I was overjoyed, the fact I don’t have to climb the flight of stairs and that I was there to witness such bizzare incident. Who the heck ever thought that one can bypass the elevator programmed system with the fireman’s switch? Thus today, someone has made history.

Let’s call it: Dude’s Law of Gravity (Extended version)

Haha, I know it’s lame.

p/s: Try at your own risk!
