Under the Canopy of Love 《天幕下的戀人》

I mentioned that I'm gonna watch Under the Canopy of Love 《天幕下的戀人》 after finishing its spin-off story - The Seventh Day 《最美麗的第七天》 previously right??

well, I got home and went straight to look for the torrent file, downloaded the entire 20 episodes, and managed to finish watching it last Friday.


Both series are seriously good... with lotsa whacky quotes and scenes as well as romantic moments. However, I like The Seventh Day 《最美麗的第七天》 more because Natalie Tong (唐詩詠) is one of the main actresses rather than having her play second fiddle in Under the Canopy of Love 《天幕下的戀人》.


oh by the way... she is teh hot...

some fake fire...

was somewhat settling for work at my place when the fire alarm of the Tun Jugah building went off last Tuesday, and while everyone was ignoring it thinking that the management might be testing the fire alarm, we were told to get out of the building via the emergency exit...

okay... fire drill... boring~...
I took my time getting the cellphone and wallet, then followed the rest at the emergency exit, walked down seven floors to the ground... -____-''


still got time to take a picture with my N95 when I was on the 2nd floor...


apparently the management set up some fake smoke on the 8th floor to set-off the fire alarm...


everyone from the building was to gather in front of McDonald's in case such situation really happens...
on that day though, lotsa ppl actually bought McD's ice-cream while waiting for the firemen and policemen to clear the building...


the big red machine in action...

The Seventh Day 《最美麗的第七天》

I just finished watching this new TVB drama - The Seventh Day 《最美麗的第七天》, after having spent the entire night watching the last 10 episodes till around 7.30am... damn it has one hell of a touching storyline... but I feel like crap as of now... yawn~~~ NEED.SLEEP.REAL.SOON...
-______-"


this drama was just shown on Astro On Demand... but I manage to get a friend to burn me a copy after he downloaded it... heh...

Apparently, this drama is a follow-up/spin-off from the previous one (different storyline though) screened about a year ago - Under the Canopy of Love 《天幕下的戀人》, also with the same cast...


I'm so gonna download this one, or buy it from those China DVD sellers and watch it... (yea I know, this one has been shown before, but I don't usually watch those Astro programs except for AXN and the Sports Channels at home...)

canceled a few credit cards...

in the past few days, I've canceled 3 of my credit cards (Standard Chartered & RHB) as I have not been using them all these while, and I see no point in keeping them. rather than risk forgetting to cancel them before the banks charge me with those annual fees, I canceled them first instead.


punched a few holes through the magnetic strips and smart chips on the cards, and send them back to the bank.

Also, it is a known fact that having too many credit cards, be it active or not reduces a person's financial credibility to the banks when it comes to applying loans, typically car loans and house loans. Therefore, canceling a few, and keeping just one or two which one uses all the time would be more than sufficient. I'm going to cancel another few more soon - namely my credit cards from Citibank, Alliance Bank, HSBC and two (Mastercard and Amex) from Maybank and just keep my CIMB and Maybank Visa.

a bit of makeover for the car...

the Sun-Guard tint that I bought about 3+ years ago has faded badly, so I send the car over to my usual car tinting/accessory shop to get a new layer of tint, and this time, Ice-Cool was the pick, at 50% tint on all sides...

the guys working on the windows...


I also bought a center speaker (max output @ 60W), that comes with its own little power output amp that is placed in the console box... pretty cool gadget lor... and now I get more vocal and bass from the front... :)


I did mention before that I damaged the front skirt of the car last November right?? well, the damage to it became worse after that as there were a few times when I scrapped it while parking the car to near the parking curb...


so I decided to get it changed. how's the new front-look??

Ais-Cool Tint - RM400
Center Speaker - RM220
Front Skirt - RM220

Total Damage - RM840

I damn broke liaw.... >___<

Ciggie Review - ESSE Lights Super Slim

I opened up the last of the three cigarette packs bought back from Vietnam last time by dinosaur a couple of days ago. Apparently, this ESSE Lights Super Slim is made from Korea... hmm.......


ESSE Lights Super Slim is typical ciggies for the ladies, so for a guy to light it up is like a guy driving a feminine car such as a Mini Cooper or a Smort ForTwo, you get the idea laaa...

However, I ain't gonna let it go to waste as it went all the way from Korea to Vietnam and then to Malaysia... so I lit it up literally. Taste was pretty decent, lighter than those of Dunhill Lights, but still got kick compared to the more tasteless Sobranie Slims Mints that Hedo usually burns... ;)

assorted snapshots...

I have been playing badminton regularly since early this year, about 3 times a week, and sweating it out at the badminton court is one of the best de-stress methods ever...


one of my lunch a few weeks back at Kapit Cafe... the usual Kah-Chang-Mah with rice + some new energy Sprite drink...


the beef pie (RM9) served at Starbucks was seriously good...


on the other hand, this chocolate moose cake thingy was disastrous... wasted my 9 bucks... crap!!!


the workshop watch-dog, with a Honda engine...
was at Ah-Ben's workshop two weeks ago to get him test out a car that I was tempted to buy, but in the end forgo the idea due to the car having gearbox response problem and some weird engine noise...

The Original Carwash...

went to this somewhat new high-class car wash outlet - The Original Carwash at Rubber Road about a month ago... yea, I know... this is a way overdue post, together with many more to come... :)


the place is huge... and very nicely done up to say the least...


where else could you find another car wash outlet with this cool set-up and renovation work in Kuching?


sommore WIFI is provided free, together with a free drink of your choice...


can choose to sit outside or inside, which is air-conditioned, and a range of food & beverages is served...


see your car being washed ala-assembly-line style through the glass panel...


pretty cool place to hand around lor... abeit the higher price... RM15 for a normal car wash & vacuum + a free drink...


even the toilet design puts typical three-star hotel's toilets to shame... -_____-''

finally done with my work... and fell sick!!! crap!!!

okay, I'm finally done with my reports... and now I'm sick!



down with cough and flu... aduh... >__<
