Saturday Morning<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

1200 hours, MPH Sunway Pyramid<\/b>
\nNo Xfresh bloggers around.<\/p>\n

1220 hours, Osim Sunway Pyramid<\/b>
\nThe salesman amazes me with his knowledge. “You know women with high heels, their calves are more developed.<\/i>” I actually consider buying one of their products as I sit, testing out the iSqueez.<\/p>\n

1238 hours, MPH Sunway Pyramid<\/b>
\nI meet Hannna<\/a>. I drank her Coke. Will<\/a>, Ed<\/a> and Kristine<\/a> soon came along, and we adjourned to Pizza Hut, where Suet Li<\/a> and Ashraf<\/a> appeared out of nowhere. Shaz<\/a> deserves a plug too, for bringing his crowd to Pizza Hut anyway.<\/p>\n

We walked about a bit, and I bumped into Hanna’s friend. “Remember me? You drank my coke at the Taylor’s Battle Of The Bands!<\/i>” (Flashback! Ironically, I drank Hanna’s coke earlier that day.)<\/p>\n

The guitar store had two shop assistants doing a very, very cool improvised rendition of Gary Moore – Still Got The Blues<\/b>. I stood around, waiting for the chorus or solo bit, but no! Somebody who obviously didn’t pay them to jam all day came in. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Ed and I then headed to Elena<\/a>‘s barbecue party.<\/p>\n

2000 hours, Elena’s House<\/b>
\n
\nGood food, though the festivities were marred by some dumb ideas. Well at least I learnt what a body shot was and got CPR. \ud83d\ude42 Two, I repeat, two<\/b>, Rubik’s Cubes were totalled that night.<\/p>\n

Sunday Morning<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

0900 hours, Elena’s House<\/b>
\n
\nFor some reason I seem to like taking pictures of cats basking in the sun. A brand new day. A new tomorrow?<\/p>\n

1100 hours, Starbucks New Wing, One Utama<\/b>
\nEd and I spread our unbathed malodor to Peter Tan<\/a>‘s blog gathering. I shall not provide commentary, links (I’ll steal the full list later) and much less obligatory shots, but the more interesting Photoshop-enhanced ones were:<\/p>\n


\nEd made a good laptop advertisement model.<\/p>\n


\n
\nChet<\/a> brought this baby. Well maybe it wasn’t a baby. It was a kicking teenage rebel. Okay that’s not right either. The Dana Wireless could possibly be the last foray by Palm Computing – cheap notebooks are getting cheaper. Even the HP Ipaq 5450 is considered big, and PDAs have keyboard attachments! Add the proliferation of phones with color screens (when was the last time you heard a monophonic SMS ringtone on the LRT?) and you have something only a die-hard Palm user will buy. At least it has expansion slots, including two<\/b> SD card slots! That would make a nice transferring device for your digital camera.<\/p>\n


\nThat is an awesome afro.<\/p>\n

Fazri<\/a> dropped Lionel<\/a> and I off at the LRT station, and we headed to Taman Jaya.<\/p>\n

1700 hours, some cybercafe in Amcorp Mall<\/b>
\n
\nLionel lives up to his paedophile reputation. Shaky picture was intentionally picked. Itchy girl gives good scratch massage.<\/p>\n

Links shall be updated soon, I hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
