Queen of Langkasuka, and FA cup final..

Damn, what a day yesterday was. Went to Stadium bukit Jalil at noon to buy da FA cup final ticket. Then, head to bukit bintang/imbi by LRT from there. went to Pavillion aslo where we (me, Nik izat and Dann)watch da movie, Queen of Langkasuka.

Oh, buy what a movie. Claimed to cost 20million USD. The movie was epic! simply epic. revolved around the Langkasuka empire under the rule of Queen Hijau (her sister's name was Biru, and Ungu)
What i really like was their fighters especially the commander. coz they're all are (atleast seems like) pendekar melayu. using silat as their martial art and keris as their weapon. even the queen has a keris! make me feel dissapointed actually that the Thai's are the one that made movie about the greatness of pahlawan melayu with all the silat. This type of movie should be made here (atleast 2-3 a year probably) instead of those shitty lovey-dovey yusuf haslam (or his son) movies. CGI shoudln't be wasted making STUPID movie like Antoo Fighter or sumthing-brain (don't remember the title). We have rich history to be exploited into a movie. we should really do that. the director of Queen of Langkasuka spent over a year of research to make this movie. Why couldn't we? Anyway, another interesting thing about this movie is how the english subtitle (made by the Thai) translated 'Hang Jarang' (the commander) as 'Lord Jarang'. This could be said that the Thai regards the 'Hang' as a title, not part of a name. Make sense if u think about it because the ones that has 'Hang' in front of his name are warriors/pahlawan/pendekar. Interesting thing to take into consideration into the debate of 'Hang Tuah is a chinese'.

Anyway, after da movie, we head to the stadium, full packed with fans from both sides. we nearly couldn't get any seats! had to panjat to get to seats. haha. however, the game sucks! The first half can be said (atleast to me) as building up. but the second half was terrible, from both sides. then, the 'goal half' at da first half of extra time. the game was quite good especially after kelantan scored. but damn it was a great feeling when selangor equalised! At last, Selangor won the cup at penalty shoot-out! sucky game but happy cos we won! hahaha

EDIT: and because of all the above, i lost my voice!!

of Volvo240 and its sentimental values..

Volvo 240 GLi (injection). The 'Brick' someone would call it. 19 years old, that's how old it is. atleast according to the car grant. My dad bought it from his friend ( Uncle Lan and Aunti G) after being used for around a year (i think) before they moved to the US. Well, it's the only car i could remember that my dad had, Don't recall anything before this car.

It's a powerful 2.0L injection engine(quite ahead of its time), with that trademark roar most people would recognise from a far. Sure, it's body doesn't look 'beautiful/cool' without any aerodynamic feature. Just... box. But does state somewhat like a statement of its boldness. inside, the car is very comfortable without much effect when running throught bumps or rough road. a great car indeed.

about 3 years back, late 2005, my dad gave this car to me after he bought a new (2nd hand actually) volvo; Volvo S80. I was in my foundation year at UNMC. Didn't really drive much at that time. heh, as i remember i would fill the tank usually for rm10 or 20 a time those days. Start to use it more often since the summer break, working at OU. Till then, around rm50 a week of fuel spent for this car. Maintainance was quite high in 2006 but reduced down a bit after that. mostly only regular service after that.

I've been very attached to this car since then. learned a lot from this car. and have great plans for this car. bragged to friends bout how i would use it till i can afford to buy my own car (once started working).

but now... it's all going to an end. going to let go of it and take my sis's Myvi. had a quite hard time deciding for this. all but me are for taking Myvi. feel so hard to let this car go. not really sure why. the point that everyone else gave is so strong over my 'sentimental value' point. well, all things gotta go some time. really gonna miss this car...

A saturday morning post..

It's saturday morning of 4th april. Days of hard works getting the right result for the project. And now a bit tired and lazier.. Tonite is the annual dinner. Hmmm.. how would it be? Red Carpet Affair? Don't really have any high expectations honestly. Just wanna see my gurl happy with her newest dress, cardigans, heels, clutch and accessories. But ofcourse, i'll still enjoy myself with wuteva in store. Wonder who's the guest performance. It better top last year's Jason Lo. But IMHO, don't really think so..

On another topic, we got a new Country leader! A Nottingham University Grad he is.. I think it was in economics. But anyway, he does take this post in a very complicated time. The downfall of the world's economy and the complicated(or stooopid) political scene of Malaysia. Considering he's in a 'Do or Die' situation, wonder how would he perform. Can he cusioned a bit the economic downturn that are reaching our shores? All the best to him. And if he fails, hope the impact of the fall won't be catastrophic..

Malaysia... my beloved motherland (as the Russian said it). Hope the leaders (politicans) can reduce their politics and DO their job..

Well, i'm off to lunch! Presentation slides preparation after that...
