Now this would be one of the first places where you would want to hang out if you’re around town in the big Kuala, Hartamas Square. Here’s da thing, i’ll have to consider it to be one of the most happenin spots ere. Of course if you’re a clubber, there’s no comparission, but im a clean guy, so…Anywayz, the food ere might be kinda expansive. Afterall, its hartamas, everythin’s expansive but da thing that gets me comin ere is its Kuew Tiau. Just rm4 for a regular and rm4.50 for a large. There’s no much difference though, so i’d suggest that you tale the large RM4.50 cents, afterall, it’s just 50 cents and you can get extra kuew tiau, extra prawns and all. Plus, for you EPL fans out there, this is a place to hang out. They’ve got 3 giant screens for you to view your fav team live on astro. Sometimes if there are 3 big matches at the same time, you can watch em all on 3 different screens. Then again, you’d have to change your seats though. This means, you can watch Arsenal, Manchester and Chelsea playin on the big screen at the same exact time. Wicked! Or if you’re not into EPL, other La Liga’s or World Cup qualifying are shown to. However, if you’re not into man kickin balls (did i say dat rite?), just bring along your laptop and get online coz they’ve got a whole wireless online coverage surroundin da square. So do drop by sumtimes, there’s food (lots of it), fancy drinks, football and you’re online.

Remember how we would refer big ugly things to king kong, sumtimes ur friends even, was it MTV or Channel V dat i saw once using King Kong as their logo mascot. All im sayin is dat King Kong would have to be one of the oldes animal icon on the planet, other than micky mouse and bugs bunny. Well, the remake move King Kong sure wasnt a disappointment (unlike Narnia). Peter Jackson sure did a good job, with the additional scenes which they didnt have from the original movie just adds in the suspense. I dont think there was any dinosours back in the old days. Anyways, as muah gurl would say, the movie’s quite tiring. Why!? coz after each and every suspense(especially on the Skull island) there’s just more and more. It’s like you’re just hanging there on your seats hopin that Niomi Watts sexy legs wont get ripped off by the T-Rexs’. Other than that, of course some parts of the movie might not be logic( im not talkin bout da 25 ft monkey). Im talking about soldiers just simply shootin around misles around manhattan city just to kill da ape and with Ann(niomi watss) in his hands. Maybe they’re just followin the original( i really cant recall the old version, i was to small back then ). Anywayz, the other scences were way kewl. You really should watch it. Anyone can recall bout da old original version of King Kong, do comment.

So far i’ve missed two of MAN U’s great wins. The first one’s against Wigan where they won 4 - 0 and the 2nd is against Aston Villa with a 2-0 win. It took 1-0 for chelsea to win over the new underdogs Wigan, and United took 4 with a clean sheet. What about that. This time with Champions League out of our hands, United as full concentration in gaining upon the 9 point leaders Chelsea. Even Arsenal lost the the giants 2-0 last night at Highbury. Neat! I was hopin that Wenger would’ve beaten Morinho’s boys and gave United a closer gap to win the title race. Then again, Arsenal’s just not good enough, bohooo huu huuu(sorry shah). Where as, we kicked their asses rite at home. I guess, Arsenal’s just nothin without their skipper Vierra(did i spell dat our rite? even i 4got how to spell his name, why wont i ehehe, sorry shah). Anywayz, maybe i was wrong about slowly goin down, instead we’re slowly goin up. Last week we were 10 points behind Chelsea, and now with two big wins, with Rooney on fire, United palyers are bouncin back and they’re bouncin hard. We’re comin Chelsea. Yeah!

  We’re slowly movin down again. Ferguson sure has lost his touch thats for sure. Manchester could’ve won that night but there’s just not enough magic in the Reds no moe. Giggs will always be a true United hero and thats what just did that night at Old Trafford. However, a draw wasnt good enough. Unfortunately for me, I missed both goals from Everton’s McFaden and Giggsy’s. The second half as usual turned out to be an anxious game where United players were desprately in need of goals. They just couldnt get it. They would have if Fletcher and Ronaldo werent put in. Park was doin just fine, and then the big Seven came in. Ronaldo starts of with his super step overs and failed to pass again. Fletcher wasnt playin well. With performances like that, how could Ferguson said United deserved a win. Everton had the same chances that Benfica had last Sunday when United left out one defender only to defend central back. United was lucky enough they didnt score. Everton clearly would’ve won the match if they had good finsihes but  their defence was rock solid.   

  The Chronicles of Narnia, sound kewl eyh! Check out the poster’s two thumbs up. To me, it’s a disappointment! The whole epic is about four kids wondering of in their wardhrobe and discovered that its a gateway to a different world called Narnia. Then, it turned out that Narnia’s in some sort of war and that these children are suppose to be the heroes to save Narnia. It’s that simple. He’re the lame part. Trust me, it’s lame. It’s not good as you think it is. Allow me to go through the details. Basically, Narnia’s just like a compilation of all the block buster movies there is, i mean it’s like a copy cat, a photostated book except that it’s got everything in one book. First thing, kids wondering around and got themselves into a magical world of Narnia where animals talk. I mean, Harry Potter’s been there. These kids are the chosen ones, what are the odds? You’re new to this world, you’re different, and all of the sudden all FOUR of you are the chosen ones. Enought with the chosen ones already. They were suppose to follow the prophercy or sumthin sayin that they are to help narnia restore peace. Where have we heard this before? Neo’s a chosen one, according to the Matrix’s prophecy, and there’s war. Anakin was a chosen one to, that’s what Quaigon said and the movie’s called starwars. Even lord of the Rings have Frodo as the chosen ring bearer, to destroy it and restore peace for middle earth. C’mon, dont u guys have any other story line!? Even the script’s lame. Trust me, the scripts are simply straight forward, you can figure out what the other person’s gonna say, thus it makes the script lame. Check this out, Santa came over to visit the children and gave em gifts. Guess what Santa gave em….weapons for war. I mean it’s a perfect lil girl’s bed time story with santa comin over to give you gifts. Not just any gifts. Bows and arrows, swords, and yadayadaya what eva. So anywayz, there’s Aslan the leader and true ruler of Narnia. He’s like this prof. dumbledore, or master yoda, or morpheus, or the oracle or some sort. He’s da wise one. Da thing is he died, and the came back to life to help win the war. i mean, c’mon!! This is so hindustan. Thing’s came back to life, and then he just blows at dead people and they’re alive again and then help to win the war. Even neo died and he surely did not came back. The war scene, trust me it’s nothing like Lord of the Rings. It’s just a simple on a field war with a few strang lookin bad guys with horns, bull look alike and etc. The one leading the war, is the eldes brother of the four whom has no idea on how to properly hold a sword. He infact was the one leading the war replacing aslan(the dead sekejap lion). Of course, you know it later that Aslan came with backup from the dead that he blew and win the war. Witch died and there’s peace. As simple as that! All four crowned as Kings and Queens. So much like lord of the rings, but Frodo and the other hobbits was bowed by the others including the king instead of being crowned as the king. I thought Aslan was the rightful true king of Narnia. I mean, the whole movie is a complete happy ending fantacy world. I guess, you cant blame the guy’s who’s writing the story. If im not mistaken, it was during world war 2 that he wrote this fantacy world of his to escape from the terrors of war. It’s a three hour movie, but the story line’s simple and short. All i can say is that, Narnia’s a disappointment. What a lame movie to watch. I wish i can get my rm 20 back.

A dramatic lost i would say, as i sat quietly in the hostel’s cafe watching the team i so dearly support for last eleven years defeated out of the Champions League group stage for the very first time in football history. All eyes were on the Devils, even though Benfica had the full advantage of playing home and scored 2 magnificent goals. The last 4 minutes was surely dramatic, cameras showed each of the hopless faces of United’s players; Ronaldo seating on the bench, Park Ji Sung on the right flank, Ruud watches Quim(benfica keeper) finishes his injury act, and Rooney thinking he wasnt Best after all.

They played a terrible match that Wednesday night, reasons: over confident after their performance in the Premiership and scholes early goal, anxious, and Ronaldo was fooling around. Scholes first goal was quite unpredictable, they didnt celebrate, Gary didnt, he just walked away after that wonderful assist, even the scorer didnt know what happened. After that, they completely lost their balance with their confidence and the defence broke down. O’shea lacked, the ball went trhough and the center back didnt even bother to mark the Benfica’s first scorer. I’d have to salute Benfica for their wonderful performance, but i disrespect their way of waisting time, Benfice keeper Quim played a terrific acting scene where he wasted most of the 4 minutes extra time with United players waiting for him getting his treatments lying on the ground and infront of the post that united were suppose to shoot at. Ronaldo was a complete waste, Ferguson should’ve put Park in for the first eleven instead of the selfish Portugal wonder boy. The second half was filled with anxiety, desprately in need of goal where they completely lost their discipline, order, positioning and most of all consentration. Ferguson had to put three strikers up by bringing in Saha, but there was no luck. Right now all thats left is hope, Gary who was officially announced the new  skipper said that the team will bounce back. Will they? Maybe its true what they say about united, this is the down fall of the Manchester United era. Keano’s out just like that, Giggs is just too old for the job, the youngsters are doing preety badly, Fergie favors Fletcher more than anything, the american owners are puting preasure on Fergie, the babyface striker is coming back….is he?  Even now Boss Alex Ferguson refuses to talk about his future with the club, the same thing goes with the owners. Both parties refuse to comment. Meaning, there might be a possibility that Fergie wont be boss for long. However, he’s doing well in the premiership and that might be a reason to keep him that is if they continue to do well. Just look up for this Sunday’s match againts everton.

Really wanna get my hands on those. Mum’s just plannin to buy a new car to replace our Nissan Pulsar 1.6 SLX. Sound cool ey with da SLX thingy goin on, but you should’ve seen it urself. Trust me, i aint kewl. Anywayz, if you’re looking for a sporty car at an affordable or cheap price, Vios would have to be da choice. You should’ve seen it with da body works man. Its fantastic. Anyways, about da new facelift, the prices are about da same. For a 1.5E its 81 thou over and a 1.5G is 88 thousand over. A just a minor adjustments, not as much as i’d expected it to be. I was hopin for larger rims with skirtins all over ehehe. But instead, they just changed the front grille, tha lamps, vvti engine and da only thing i’d like is tha fog lamp. Dats it! There’s nothin much in da interior, da original has a built in cd player but this one doesnt. So for u modifiers out ther, you could put on a screen if you want to. But da thing is it only comes in auto in malaysia. WAAAarrRRrragghHH, wanna change da gear box can ar? Anyways, you can check out more comments bout vios and other cars at pauls site. Just found out, its www.paultan.org. Enjoy!

Another hot spot to take ur friends for a dinner or supper would have to be da latest My Village Restaurant located sumhwere in Kampung Boyan, just the opposite of Kuching’s very own Khatulistiwa Restaurant of Waterfront. It’s not much of a big space though, not too many tables. Friends of 5 would be the most, but things can be arranged if there’s even 10 or more of ya. Da kewl thing bout da "not too many seats" is dat you can really enjoy da river view environment with less people seating or staring at you. So, if you’re bored eating at Waterfront, check this place out. The moment you enter Kampung Boyan from its entrance you’ll surely be amazed by Kuching City’s building at night, just glowing by the river bank, and as you drive through, you’ll see at the far end the greenish and yellowish glowing vernacular, sort of like an old wooden house at the end by da roundabout. Da food, i’d say its one of those places to explore sarawak dishes. The prices are slightly expensive though. Let say a normal Mee Goreng would cost you maybe RM 3/-, here it would alteast …let say RM4 or sumthin like dat. Haiya nvm lar, just a ringgit higher than normal price. Atleast its not as mahal as da ones at Waterfront. So if you’re in town, you should definately try it out sumtimes. 

Another win, wah lau wey. This time scholes is back. The best thing is, Ole’s back too. Just recently he’s playing for the reserves against liverpool. Anywayz, with Manu keep on wining, They still maintain their 10 points chase behind chealsea and down to one game compared to the leaders. Scholes scored the first goal, then Rooney and Ruud joined the fun later in the second half. Park Ji Sung also turned out with another wonderful performance in Ronaldo’s place that day at Old Trafford and with Giggs back from injury playing left wing. I’d have to say, frankly as a united fan, maybe we’re better off without Ronaldo’s fancy foot work. I’d prefer Park’s intelligent team work than Ronaldo’s individual skills. Park has been tremendously briliant assisting Rooney’s goals recently while Ronaldo’s busy doin his step overs and then loses the ball. C’mon man, this is a team play. The name in front of the shirt is more important than the one at the back. Catch the next match against Benifica and Everton this week. We have to win in Portugal against Benifica this Wednesday. If not, then its good bye for good Champions League.
