My Date Night

If my memories serve me correctly, I think I have not really been to a proper date night. Haha. Well, for a guy, planning a perfect date night for my girlfriend or future partner really takes times. 

For starter, both have to be properly dressed for the right event, not to fancy also. So, I will reach her door step and fetch her on time. Being late is a bad impression for girls. Some small gift or flower will definitely carve a smile on her face for the evening. Upon ordering, always be the gentleman and ask the lady what she would like to order, to show that you care about her and not about yourself only. After she make a decision, help her ordered the things that she like. Some light conversation to ease the environment with some jokes in between. Definitely additional marks will be giving if you are a humour type of person. 

After dinner, a stroll in the park to spend the night off, watching some beautiful night scenery and enjoying the serene environment. Besides that, there will always be a backup plan if the 1st plan fail. If by chance that night is raining, a romantic movie will be good. After the night stroll or movie, I will then bring her home and waited outside of her house until she safely entered the house. But before that, I will ask her again if she is interested to go out again with me some other day, like shopping or window shopping. 

Well, hopefully I will be able to do all these in the future. Haha. 

How about my memorable night?? I think, for me the most memorable night is that we went to the favourite dating place in where the road is kinda not that bright. Then we sit in the car for sometimes, do things some couple will usually do like kissing. Haha. as time goes by, the car windows were getting foggy and foggy and we knew that our body temperature has gone up and was excited. haha. This happened long long time ago and I do learn a lot from it. Thank again to you if you are reading it. I will definitely cherish it.

My Dream in the Year of the Tiger

Today is the second day of February and i know its kinda late for me to state my dream for this year. However, thanks to Nuffnang and Tiger Beer in organising the Tiger Run, I have the opportunity to share my dreams with my dear reader.

First of all, I would wish that I will excel in my studies and survive another 1 and a half year as that is the time for me to complete my studies in UCSI and become a degree holder in pharmacy. However, this could just be a dream as effort and sacrifice are needed to accomplish this dream.

Secondly, I would like to have a nice DSLR camera like most of the bloggers and my friends. I think I would like to have the Canon EOS 500D Kit I. Not having a good camera by my side whenever I attend any event or outing really is troublesome. Relying on my Nokia N73 for taking pictures really crack up my nerves as it really takes time to take the picture, not to say lousy night mode picture. Haha. Besides, I also will not have the wait painfully to get the pictures taken by my friends. But WHY Canon EOS 500D?? Well, it is because Canon camera is user-friendly and I try using a Canon DSLR to take pictures. It really easy to use and navigate compare with the other brands. With astounding 15.1 mega-pixel and full HD function, my pictures and video will be super clear and pretty. Well, by having a camera by my side, I also can improve my photography skill and learn to capture the pretty scenes.

Thirdly, I did mention that I really wish to have a new phone as my current N73 has served me for 3 years already. You can read about it at my previous post. When I first knew about Nokia N900, I was stuck with it for quite sometimes already. How come dont wan Sony Errisons phone or Samsung phone? Well, I kinda used with a nokia phone, not to mention a smartphone with touch screen capability. I bet I can easily get the hang of it and easily navigate my ways around the phone. Having a GPS really is a day saver. I will not easily get lost around the city and can be the map for my friends. With Wifi ready, I also can surt the net on the go. It really is like having a mini computer on my palm. But a phone is like mini computer?? To be considered as a computer, it has to have a processor and its operating system. For you information, Nokia N900 is equipped with 600 MHz processor and having Maemo 5 as its operating system. It really is like having a mini computer on your palm. Even the netbook could not put inside your pocket. Haha.

Fourthly, I would like to have a nice vacation to Singapore. My last trip to Singapore was a nice one. What's more now that the Resort World Sentosa has opened, it will be definitely crowded with 'people mountain people sea'. Haha. Besides, having to visit the Singapore Zoo as well as Bird Park. Not to forget, I also hope that I can visit some one the nice places in Singapore and try their nice and tasty food. Yum Yum. When I'm at Singapore, I do hope that I can meet someone there who I dearly miss, din see each other for almost 4 years already. Really miss you, Ms C.

Last but not least, I do hope that the year 2010 will be a fine and health year, a very happening year for me. Lets fill this world with many many loves since Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Have a nice day everyone.

A murderer is on the loose

On 13 of January 2010, me and a couple of my friends got ourselves invitation to the Astro B.yond Blogger Night at Modesto's Sri Hartamas. As the name say it all, it was a launching of its Astro B.yond which was organised by Astro. We were lucky as Astro is the first broadcast company to offer the first High Defination (HD) programmes in Malaysia and also not to mention the first HD television commercial of Astro B.yond which was also the longest in Malaysia history, approximately 2.30 minutes.

Since we are so eager to be there in time and also to expect some traffic on the way, we departed from my house around 6pm and we actually arrived there at about 6.45 pm including some jam on the way there. It was really unexpected as I thought it was very far away from Cheras. I think i will be a new destination for me to look and explore if I by some chance have car to use in KL. hehe.

Anyway, back to the event, since we arrive earlier than the Nuffnang (NN) staffs who had the list of guests, we could not register and enter into the event. The location of the event is at the Rain Club, just beside Modesto's and run by Modesto's itself. So, some pictures were taken to mark our attendance and present on the event itself. The receptionist told us to come back again around 7.30pm. So, we all headed to the opposite mamak stall to have some drink before present ourselves to the counter again.

By 7.30pm, when we reach the counter again, there were a couple of guests already register for the event and already secured the best seats in the place. For me, it was a bad experience as the staff could not find my name at first and say I din not confirm my attendances. I think it was some hearing mistake by them. "Vun" become "voon" then become 'Boon'. Haha. Really sweat at tat time. Not tat i can hear or tell them my spelling, maybe it was the loud music played during that time. Somemore, the receptionist was also a new NN staff. Who is he/she, i will reveal later.

So, each of us have the option to write our new year resolution on the big piece of cardboard. For my new year resolution, I do hope that this year will be a very happening year for me since last year consider not a very happening one. I think I should join more of the NN event and contest if have the opportunity.

The murder scene

So, after writting our new year resolution, we enter the club. Since some of the best seat were already taken, we decided to take the seat at the bar, which was consider the better seat. Being near to the drink really make is happier. Haha. While waiting for the event to start, Chie Chek (CC), Wan Nah and Kwong Fei (KF) walk around the location and keep on taking pictures. For me, I was just observing the environment. Haha. Maybe I not that social yet. Modesto's pizza was served before the event was start. I get to try 3 type of pizza, which were pepperoni pizza, tuna pizza and the last one i cant remember.

The friendly bartender

Around 8pm, the event finally start with the MC giving out some nice speech. And to me, he really look familiar. If not mistaken, I think i saw him before in the TV, in the 'Deal or no deal', english one. Correct me if I'm wrong. After his speech, the COO of Astro gave his speech and announce the start of the event.

A very happy food for me as 'Dinner was served'. Haha. Hungry people like us sure will rush to the buffet location to grab all the nice food. Luckily for this time, there were 2 buffet location to ease the congestion. As CC and KF queue at one place to grab the dinner, I slowly approach another side of the buffet table to grab my food. There were Vietnam spring roll, Seasoned brinjal as appetizer. For the main meal, we have the option to choose between chilli pasta or seafood macaroni, followed by duck, roasted chicken, mushroom, mash potato and also sausages. For dessert, we have cheese cake and also chocolate cake. Dinner was good.

During dinner time, there was a group of percussion playing some loud sound. Really an eye opener for me to listen all those loud sound. Haha. For me, sorry to say this but I dont understand at all. Maybe for those music lover, they will love it. After their finish their performance, dinner resume.

Percussion performance

Later, Huai Bin come towards the stage and told us that there will be a game session where there will be a lucky person tonight walking away with a brand new 32" LG HDTV, a satellite disc, a decoder, a special remote control and also free subscription until end of this year. We all were waiting for this moment to come. Who ever were interested have to group themselves into 5 person in each group and registered themselves with Robb. Luckily for us, there were five of us and easily, we proceed to the registration place to registered ourselves. After the registration process, each of the group were given a piece of paper, a pen and also a magnifying glass to look for clue. As you have seen earlier, there were a murder scene right beside the stage. So, for us, it was our job as a team of investigator to find out who was the real murder among the NN staffs present on the event itself.

Huai Bin giving explanation of the game

As the surrounding was dark, it was really hard for us to look at the small fine letter on the clues stick around the wall on the clubhouse, except the washroom. Those that guess the wrong answer will be disqualified and those without the 5 clues cannot guess the murderer. So, the murderer was still on the loose. BEWARE. After like 20 to 30 minutes after the start of the event, a group of detective manage to catch the RED murderer from the crowd and got themselves a chance to win themselves the grand prize. For us, we just stand beside and watch them compete against themselves by answering question giving by Robb and the one with the most answer will win the competition. The winner group was Gareth, Horng, KY, Terence and Eric. After a few series of questions, Eric finally emerged as the winner and win himself the grand prize. While the remaining group members get themselves a goodies bag which I do not know what is inside of it.

The participants with their display answered

Since the night is still young, everyone mingled around and take group pictures and also dance with the music. Not to mention that during the event itself, Jojo Struys was around, filming for the Alpha Blogger season 2. Lucky for me, she was standing right besides me when the event was started. But bad luck also since I do not have camera with me. So no picture was taken with her. Haha. Maybe should get myself a nice camera but really need some money to invest in it.
