Catchup with the actors – The Swimming Instructor

During the play, Dave looks like one of my friend who I lost contact for quite a long time ago. Even his behavior made me wonder is he the one I knew but definitely he is not the one I knew. After the show, I manage to catch a photo with him and guess what? I found that when out from the stage, he looks like my computer teacher when I was in secondary school. Oh gosh, why he has the shadow of 2 people that I knew?

This is the photo I took with Niki Cheong. Hey, I look weird la, what the h... I stood like that? Wrong posture!

I like this photo the most. Why? Hahaha... you guess la.  

This photo also not bad, at least my posture is not as weird as the one taken with Niki. Hahaha...

The Curve

It has been a long time I didn't go to the curve and cineleisure for movie and shopping. Usually I will park my car in cineleisure and walk to the curve. I was a bit surprise that there are lots of changes here and I told myself it really been a while I didn't visit this place.

When I came out from the car park, the first thing I notice was the book store doing a clearence sales, all the books were not in the book shop. They already shut the door and put the goods at the empty space in front of the shop.

 

Shutting down of shops and reopen with a new one is something very common but the changes to the structure (the main entrance) is not that common. While I walk out from cineleisure main entrance, I saw a drastic change. Wow...I almost can't believe that I am in cineleisure. "The curve" has been renamed to "e @ curve".

Oh ya before I end this posting, I saw this new shop at B1. Hmmm, since when Popeyes like to eat chicken and seafood, I thought spinach only? Haha...

Goodbye 2009, Wecome 2010

Sometimes I wonder why time passed by so fast. I can still remember the first day I started my blog is at the end of Aug 09 and now it is the last day of the year. And I thought I won't be able to keep writting / updating my blog and eventually it will die some days. But what? Miracle did happened? I blog until now.

During November I was hoping that December can arrive sooner. I like this month because it is a month that's full of joys and happiness. There are quite a number of public holidays around and the work weeks are short, don't you feel that this is great?

I was a bit busy and tied up during the last week of the year, I only manage to draft the "year-end review" , Hannah Tan's charity concert and Camwhoring with friends but still not finalizing them for posting yet.

Stay tuned for more blog posts from me and thank you for reading my post all these while. Thanks again for the support, your viewing and comments are the energy for me to move further.

The naughty Beagle

Continue from my previous post of Golden Retriever, here’s the photos for the hyper active and naughty Beagle. There weren’t many photos for this bugger (ya, I call her this way because she is cute but darn hyper active) because it keeps moving, running, jumping here and there. I got to admit that this is the first time I was invited to take photo for dogs and my skill wasn’t being trained up yet. Perhaps I need more practice on photo shooting of “non-stop” moving objects.

Look at how she ran.

Even you had got her slept on the floor, she still want to move some other parts, which is her mouth.

How to make her stand still or limit her movement? We found a big rock and put her up there. Oh yeah, her movement has been limited and it is a lot easier for me to take her photos. And here’s the outcome.

Starring at me: “Hey, you better put me down else I will bite you!”

Microsoft Cibai

Hey, I am not scolding bad words or something like that. When I come across this term that MS used, I was stunned there, just can’t believe what I have seen. Oh gosh, MS, how can you use this term to name your new product. Okay, my friends, if you still don’t believe, why not take a look here.

All right back to the technical details of this thingy, it is actually an abstract interpretation-based static analyzer for modular analysis and verification of Java classes. I know it sounds a bit bombardstic and the description is not in layman term. It simply means this is a class (not the classes in school) that used in Java programming language.

Maybe to the Ang Mo, this word sounds nothing but just a new technical term in a programming language but it sounded very wrong in Malaysia, Singapore and etc.

Image that when you are attending a Java proramming class in college, the lecturer came in to the class:
Lecturer: OK, everyone I am going to teach you Microsoft Cibai now.
Student A: (Sound in disbelieve) Cibai?!?!?! And you gonna teach it?
Student B: Who want to volunteer for the class?
Lecturer: This Cibai is not the Cibai that we know. It can help us a lot!
Student C: I thought all Cibais are same?
Lecturer: …

Furthermore, there is this book called dummy for “something”. You can always see these books in those common book stores like Popular, MPH, Times and you name it. And you know what? There is a publication under this title called CIBAI for DUMMIES. Oh my god, do you think you can find this book in Malaysia or Singapore’s book store? If you do, please let me know. I would like to know how long can it stay at the shelf.

Whoever want to improve their performance while working with the Cibai, remember to look for this book ya. I am not kidding, it is printed on the cover.

Hopefully Microsoft will change the term later, or else you try to ignite your imagination again, in an IT office:
Colleague A: How’s your CIBAI today? Is it working now?
Colleague B: Of course! Since day one I was born.
Colleague A: …

Tamarind Hill Restaurant

I have been hearing this name for quite sometimes and for those who went there before keep telling me it is a nice restaurant to dine at. I browsed the internet then only I found that there are a few Tamarind restaurants around in KL. The one I went is at Jln Sultan Ismail, remember not the others.

I was invited to this restaurant for a friend’s birthday dinner. I arrived there quite early because I wish to take some shots before the sky turned dark. Personally, I felt that the environment is not bad, it gave you a very good mood for dinning. The design of the restaurant is a mixed of Burmese and Thai but some people told me it is a bit Bali feels. I guess you should be able to imagine how it looks like but if you can’t, why not go there and take a look?

Don’t ask me how about the food, forget it, just use the environment to compensate… Haha… OK, I found that the food is normal only, maybe you can get a lot cheaper outside in any chinese restaurant with the same or better quality.

I was thinking to bring my grandma to enjoy dinner here. Before reaching the entrance, I need to climb up the staircase and look at them, so many steps and not user friendly for disabled people at all.

And here’s the entrance of the restaurant. Staircase again. :(

There are lots of candles in the wall, it made me feel warm under the air-cond because I was sitting near to the wall.

Dim lighting in the restaurant that made you feel comfortable and relax.

I like the way they decorate the dining tables. Looks a bit classic and yet modern (what am I talking about ar?). A bit like what you see in Harry Potter? But definitely this is a lot nicer, right?

Some other decorations in the restaurant.
 

The candle wall.

Oh ya, before I forget, you can see the Petronas Twin Towers as well.

The Swimming Instructor

I am a person who like to watch stage play very much but I don’t have many friends around me are in to that. The last time I watched was 2 years ago and all these while I was watching Chinese version. Usually the stories are not bad, touching, warm hearted and meaningful.

Again thanks to the power of internet and social networking media, Facebook and Twitter. I get to know this drama from twitter and I thought it was over at that moment. So happen that during a conversation with a friend, he told me it was a great show and he watched it. Oh gosh, I was thinking that I am gonna miss it anyway because of knowing it so late. But he told me, the show was up for one whole week, not just one day only. I was like “What?!?! Really???”.

I was asking around and look for a friend to go and watch with me and I was lucky enough to find one. And I was asked what’s the synopsis of the drama. I said I don’t and I really don’t know at all but it won’t be a bad one. Just go and watch it and you will know.

It was a show that talked about love and relationship. 3 of them are strangers and they know each other at a public swimming pool. Eventually, the story goes on and tell us how they fall in love for each other, how confused was Guan (casted by Michael Chen) in the relationship, Dave was nearly became the substitute of Daniel and how Jan approach the swimming instructor.

I like the way Jan expressed herself to the one she loved and made the first move. Frankly, I did notice that nowadays girls are no longer like last time, where she liked someone, she will just sit there and wait for that someone to come and approach her. People might think that she is too desperate if she made the move first. Why the world would think it that way? We are equal, regardless you are a boy or girl and going after to the one you like is not something wrong. Anyway, thanks God, more and more girls are willing to make the first move now.

If the drama without Jan (casted by Davina Goh) and Dave (casted by Niki Cheong), I think it would be pretty boring, dull and gray. Because of these 2 characters, they brought colors and laughter to the audiences. They were so important in the show to make it lively. Dave was funny and cute especially during his first encounter with Jan. The way Dave and Jan speak was really funny and always made me laugh out loud. I will not forget what I saw and heard.

Until after the show, I can still remember this little conversation where Jan ask Dave about his current status:
Jan: Do you have a bf now? Is he a swimming instructor?
Dave: NO! Definitely not, are you insane?
Jan: ……
Dave: (broke the silent again) He is a life guard!!!

I laugh out loud after hearing this! Great!

If the show is still going on, I will recommend it to more and more friends. I can tell you, the money that you paid for the show is worth it.
