Oh yeah, I forgot; the only reason why I wanted a dedit card was so I could reserve tickets at The Actors’ Studio and KL Performing Arts Centre. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Oh, and maybe get a 2x2x2 Rubik’s Cube. However, that’s the only one that’s out of stock at Rubik’s official website<\/a>! Argh. I already have every other cube<\/a>!<\/p>\n

And now, for some random takes on movies:<\/p>\n

Pirates Of The Caribbean 2: Dead Man’s Chest<\/b>
\nThe monsters were… poppier than the first. Halfway through the movie they become a lot less gross-looking and more of a spot-the-sea-creature game. I’m keeping my beard for a bit and it’s messier than before. ARRR! I wanna be a pirate.<\/p>\n

Fast And The Furious 3: Tokyo Drift<\/b>
\nNot supposed to make sense, but cool nevertheless. I wish they’d allow Ford Mustangs here. Too damn loud, they say.<\/p>\n

Cars<\/b>
\nNow this would be classic – spot the cultural references! For example, the organic fuel<\/i> provider was Filmore, and he blasted Jimi Hendrix – Star Spangled Banner<\/i>. Jimi also performed a few times at Filmore East. They even yelled Freebird!<\/a> \ud83d\ude00 (Which has some relevance, being a tribute song to NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt…) (More details on Wikipedia.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I also don’t remember the last time watching a 3D CGI movie made me feel as fulfilled in a magical way like Toy Story did. None of the obscene current cultural references like Shark Tale<\/b>.<\/p>\n

And now, for McDonald’s:<\/p>\n

Spicy Beef Foldover<\/b>
\nQuite a bit of cheese, tasting much like a pizza. A lot more salad and less sauce. And yeah, I have no beef with it. I mean, there’s very little beef in it. Nice, but don’t go for it if you have a beef craving.<\/p>\n

Grilled Chicken Foldover (new recipe)<\/b>
\nHow could they? They removed most of the sauce, and added a lot more salad to make it as healthy as the Spicy Beef Foldover. Thankfully, there are still two<\/b> chicken patties, but the one I had, sadly, had a foldover malfunction – one of the patties slid down (probably due to the salad’s lack of grip on the chicken.)<\/p>\n

And now, for random pictures:<\/p>\n


\nNew meaning to window jam<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nHere’s how you can indent\/emboss a balloon:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Blow up the balloon and tie its end.<\/li>\n
  2. Draw on outside of balloon using marker pen.<\/li>\n
  3. Deflate balloon (the marker ink will now appear to ’emboss’ the balloon.)<\/li>\n
  4. Stick a finger through its top, to turn it inside out.<\/li>\n
  5. Blow it just a little bit and you get this!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n


    \nA mosquito decides to take a sweet dip in my Teh Tarik<\/i>.<\/p>\n


    \nMoths read blogs, too.<\/p>\n


    \nFight like a butterfly, sting like a bee, stone like a moth.<\/p>\n


    \nPrepare for take-off…<\/p>\n


    \nIt seems to be inspecting itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
