OUTSTATION DAH MULA.... AND SO DOES THE HAUL.

9/4/2011 yang lepas bermulalah aku kerja oustation. Tahun ni mula awal banding dengan tahun lepas pasal budget dapat awal. Tahun lepas budget dekat bulan 5 baru dapat. So aku dah tour Perlis & Kedah (& Padang Besar, Thailand too :P). 1 week there & it was a "pesta makan" for me. How much do you pay here for a piece of Popiah Basah? RM1? RM1.20? There you can get 4 pieces for RM1 only! And the taste is good. Do Nasi Lemak bungkus 6 kupang still exist here? Not a chance. Char Kuew Teow, Nasi Lemak bungkus, Cendol Pulut, Ais Kacang.. it was a weight gainer for me. Makan & makan all the way. Too bad i didn't take the pictures. Sorry for that. Hey, i was busy "entertaining" my stomach.

Aku tidur kat Homestay Idaman di Taman Indah, Jitra. Rumah 3 bilik, 2 bilik mandi/tandas, 2 buah tv with Astro, peti ais & air condition. All that for RM100 per night. Actually it's RM150, but the owner is a friend of my boss. So go figure.













The haul: 2 helai t-shirt bundle beli di pasar malam Jitra. And not just another t-shirt, Juno & Hooters. Condition memang cun. Macam baru. Juno RM10 & Hooters RM3. Dirt cheap huh? Aku puas hati! :D

*Entry pasal Juno. Clik here.













Northern region not done yet. Will be in Pulau Pinang & Perak in 2 weeks then fly to Sabah & Labuan. Woohoo! :D

MARI MEMBACA. :)

Dah lama sangat aku tak beli buku. Not even a comic book. Magazine pun dah tak ingat bila kali terakhir beli. Tapi hari ni ada sebuah buku yang membuatkan aku nak beli.. Tank Girl: Armadillo! And A Bushel Of Other Stories. Even better, the 233 pages paperback only sold for RM5! How can i pass such "insane" bargain. Bought at Book Xcess Amcorp Mall. Aku dah korek habis bargain bin kat situ tapi 1 saja yang ada.

The novel.

I'm not a big fan of Tank Girl. Never had the comic book. Just browsed through a few issues at a comic book shop way back then. But i love the characters & the artworks. Not to mention the movie. Yup, there was a movie in 1995 staring Lori Petty as Tank Girl. Though it doesn't received a good review but i still love it. Never heard of Tank Girl? It's a comic book created by Jamie Hewlett & Alan C. Martin. For details, please do yourself a favour & click here for the comic books & here for the movie.

The comic book.

The novel was written by Alan C. Martin & published by Titan Books. Released in 2008 with USD 9.95 price tag. There are 59 short chapters. And not just that. In The Bushel section (bonus section - the book was divided into 2 parter), there are short stories, interview, unpublished/unfinished scripts, poems & many more. Aku baru saja baca a few pages tapi dah cukup puas hati. So if you can find one, just grab & enjoy. Recommended.

EMILY BROWNING - ASLEEP (SUCKER PUNCH SOUNDTRACK).

Sing to me Baby Doll, sing to me. I really need a good night sleep, an eternal sleep. Tired.. so tired..

Beautiful song. A very beautiful song. Goodnight..

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore

Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore

Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go

Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep

There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be
There must be

There is another world
There is a better world

"TUHAN GUNA HANDPHONE KA?" - A CASE STUDY OF HOW OBSESSED SOME OF MALAYSIAN WITH THEIR HANDPHONES.

Actually there's no such thing as a case study. It just my observation for quite some times. It's everywhere. And it make me sick. Bukan niat nak kutuk orang suka hati, but that's the brutal truth. So please bear with me..

Jumaat lepas as usual aku pi sembahyang Jumaat kat Masjid Tunku Mizan aka Masjid Besi. Normally aku sampai lebih kurang 10-15 minutes before azan masuk waktu. Jalan kaki saja pasal dekat dengan office. Ok, memang dah selalu & dah naik meluat aku tengok orang dok "bercinta" dengan phone kat dalam masjid. Kalau kat luar kawasan boleh terima lagi tapi dah dalam dewan sembahyang pun nak make/answer call. Tu belum kira yang dok text lagi. Penting sangat ka kau punya call tu? Dah takleh tunggu lepas sembahyang? Oo.. kau nak selamatkan dunia ka? Make/answer call pasal nak defuse nuclear bomb. F**k you la!

Nak jadikan cerita hari tu aku ternampak sorang mamat dok text sambil letak BB dia atas carpet (kat dewan sembahyang). Kat depan ada ceramah sebelum masuk waktu. Nak show off phone ka atau kau memang bangang? Pastu ada lagi sorang dok buka casing iPhone & gosok2 atas carpet. Cuci casing ka? WTF?! Then susun 2 bijik phone dia kat depan. Tu sebelum kutbah. Time kutbah pun belambak lagi yang camtu. Khatib dok kutbah kat depan dia baik punya tersengih2 layan text. Kau nak bercinta ka, nak seronok tengok stock market naik ka.. pi kat luar la bro. Dah tak sempat2 ka? Orang kiri kanan dok tengok pun tak paham bahasa lagi. Bab tak tau hormat/adab dalam masjid aku taknak sentuh. Nanti makin meleret pulak. Aku memang angin 1 badan betul dengan orang camni. Time tengah sembahyang kadang2 segala macam bunyi ringtone boleh dengar. Phone kau takleh silent ka? Eh, phone mahal tu kan?

Makes me wonder.. 1) orang yang call tu tak tau ka time orang sembahyang Jumaat? 2) maybe orang yang terima call tu sebelum ni memang dok boleh jawab call time sembahyang Jumaat, which means dia tak pernah pi sembahyang Jumaat kot? Kalau tegur nanti kata aku "macam bagus" pulak. Lantak kau la. At least aku terasa/tau dalam hati yang kau buat benda tak betul. Tu saja yang aku mampu buat.

Aku tak kata aku baik. Kadang2 time kutbah pun aku terlelap pasal mengantuk sangat. Tapi aku tau/kenal simbol suruh silent phone kat dalam masjid. Kat depan dewan sembahyang dah tampal besar2 kau tak nampak ka? Maybe orang camni bila mati nanti batu nisan guna phone kot? Pacak 2 bijik kat atas kubur tu. D'uh..

STORMTROOPER - THE VINTAGE COLLECTION.

Just when i thought i've to hunt down this one on Ebay, it suddenly appeared. After countless "recon" at my nearest shopping mall that turned out everything-else-were-there-except-Stormtrooper, today is my lucky day. Went to another outlet hoping to score another 1 but nope, there's only 1 for me today. Fair enough as i'm already happy. :)

Actually i can't remember how many Stormtrooper with different mold that i have. But this one is the latest. Using the body from Sandtrooper with Dewback (Walmart Exclusive) that have ball-hinged hips. So the legs can be open wider for more action. Came with standard issue blaster & rifle. Helmet also removable (head is from TAC series).

This one is really hard to get now. If you bumped into 1, just grab.. IF YOU'RE A COLLECTOR.

SOMETHING TO CHEER UP - HAUL!

"If you feeling down, get yourself a toy

Lets go out to town, have a little joy".

Is that rhyme or what? :P Finally i got my Soldier Story US Marines in Afghanistan. Supposed to be i got it last week but somehow the seller "accidently" sold mine. *Fainted* Thank God they still got 1 more. Phew. Even from inside the box, all i can say is.. TERBAIK DARI SOLDIER STORY! Can't wait to gear up the figure. Just gimme some time to do the review ya.






"Accidental haul".. Hot Wheels Back to the Future Time Machine. Maybe just my lucky day. And not just 1, but i found 4! 3 already passed to friends. So who said it's rare? :P Since i'm not collecting HW anymore (used to back in 2004 until late 2008), i'm gonna pass it around later. Anybody want just lemme know. BUT, only if you still don't have it. Just trying to be fair la for true collectors out there.

So that's it.. my happy Sunday. :)
