Suprise!!..

I went to Kluang the other day..It was kinda boring as I was covering the Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein's function back 2 back.

However, the whole day in Kluang seems worth it as I came across this cute doggie named 'Along', part of the police K-9 unit.

This particular post is dedicated to this cute doggie and its many skills!! Enjoy!!!

WHT A SATURDAY

This is the sequel to my previous entry. What started out as a boring Saturday became interesting at noon when I had to do another story-a reaction by the public on reducing toll charges at the Second Link. Well, that was done and dusted in just a couple of minutes.

However, as soon as the secondary school competition ended at 7.30pm, my day soon turned a wave of hectic-ness. I had to interview the winners of the two categories-lower secondary and upper secondary. Not only the students, but the teachers and parents as well, mind you, each team have 3 students.

After all that was done by 8pm, I had to rush back to office as my HQ wanted the story by 9pm. I was on max-turbo-mode and managed to complete the story within the allocated time but my job was not done yet. I still had to caption 12 photos, well, within 10 minutes.

After the final 'send' button was clicked upon, I heave a sigh of relief. From slow to hectic just like that!!

My only consolation was that the lower-secondary category was won by teams from my old school English College or Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar wtf, hahahaa. It gave me great pride in interviewing them, heck after I was done with the interview, I told them that I was from their school and they said, what better reporter to interview them than me, hahahaha wtf!!

Hence, what a day but tomorrow beckons.

MIND NUMBING SATURDAY!!

Its Saturday morning, what normal people would spend lazying at home on the couch and watch TV all day...but not me, I'm covering a RHB-Star Mighty Minds competition involving secondary school kids from all over the state.

The best part, its a whole day event, from 9.30am all the way to 7.30pm. The only consolation is that it is held in City Square Johor Baru Shopping Mall, hehehe. So I can online and have my dosage of Starbucks, woohoo!!

Well, I'm not alone in this as my partner in crime Rahman E is lurking nearby. His job has started as he has to take loads of pixs as its our company's project. My job actually starts when all the winners are announced way in the evening.

I guess I could think of worst ways to spend my Saturdays, wtf!!hahahah..what better way to pass the time that blog and surf the world wide web.

Will put up all the pixs next time. Lookout for my next update, I'm just waiting for some inspiration wtf,ahahahah

Public Enemies

Photobucket


My best buddy Logan and me expected a rather exciting and pulse-racing movie when we went to watch Public Enemies starring Johhny Depp and Christian Bale. However, it was not what we expected.

The story focuses on John Dillinger, one of the most famous villain during 1930s America. It showcased his crime-spree of robbing banks but not their customers up to the day when he was killed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). It also showed the nemesis-like competition between Dillinger and the man, tasked at catching him- Agent Melvin Purvis (played by Christian Bale).

The actions sequences were fantastic with the sounds of the Tommy-Gun barreling down on the police as the robbers were making their escape. However, the plot was pretty straight forward and for a lack of better term, dry. Don't get me wrong, I knew that Dillinger was going to be killed at the end of the movie having read about him sometime ago.

Photobucket

I feel that there was less focus on Dillinger and Purvis characters, and more towards the storyline and settings of America during those times. The two main characters were not played off each other and no character development took place.

Even the one dialogue those two shared with each other did not show the chemistry of two main rivals fighting for supremacy. As a result, the story became quite blend..

That being said, the movie is highly watchable for its action aspect. The only savior was Johhny Depp with his excellent acting prowess. Sadly, Bale, of Batman fame, was pretty wooden in his acting (pain for me to say this as I am a big fan).

Photobucket

It managed to capture the mood and ambiance of that era with attention-to-detail sets of houses, banks, guns, costumes and cars.

We kinda get the hint that a movie is boring when the most memorable thing Logan and me agreed upon was how much we longed for a smoke as many of the scenes has the characters smoking wtf!!hahahaha.

Good try by director Michael Mann, but it still fell off the mark for me.

Weird Restaurants in JB

I'm having a very stress-free today that everything seems in place and the way it supposed to be. Finished three stories from the state assembly and check the stringer (free lance reporters) stories and I'm done.

So, me and Wan Alfred decided to walk down to the Mamak nearby and all behold, we came across a rather interesting sight, a new restaurant opening with the name..wait for it...'The Restaurant with No Sign Board' wtf!!hahaahaha..yeah, and the best part the name was written on the freakin signboard..hahaahah..I thought I've seen it all but heck, this is a surprise for me.

That incident jogged my memory of other zany restaurant's names that I've come across. One in Taman Pelangi as well is one of the clincher-'Kedai Makanan and Minuman'..I'm like duh!!You cannot get more obvious than that wtf!!!hahaha...and another one in Sentosa with the name-'Poh Pye' with the pix of a Malaysian version of Popeye wtf!!!hahaahah

JB is full of these kind of restaurants! Damn I feel like I should write a story about it but well I might face a lawsuit,hahaha.

I'm just randomly rambling, until next time..

Weekend of destressing..

It was four days well spent and a weekend of shopping that was long overdue. Above all, it was the one the weekend was spent with that matters. A bittersweet weekend but one of which we both needed.

No regrets as I enjoy every moment spent with you and I hope that you do too. Now the week is upon us and I have no doubt that we can overcome any challenges. Don't stress too much and always remember, you are not alone in this.
