rushed home after an interview with Rajes to complete my mindmap for selection, then accompanys mum and dad to SIR Building to renew our re-entry permit. That's when Dad asked if i want to go to JB with him. Ok, so i go with him, and of course, there are some changes there.
The usual parking lot where we park our motorbikes has been sealed by the authorities (which is just outside Komtar building, besides City Sq.), and so we had to park outside the shophouses across the street. Went to the usual barber for a haircut and i am going to cry soon...when i requested to have the side shortened, the barbe really had it shorten. Yes, so short that it is going hairless soon. Well, at least he did not shorten the middle. So i could have my usual spiky hairdo. If not..... :(
As usual, go straight to City Sq for shopping. And the 1st thing to do: usual, check up the vcd store. Pretty surprised that the original vcd's of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow by Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie is on sale, despite that it will be released slightly later in US. Had a drink at Coffee Bean and goes shopping for clothes! Yes, time for clothes cos CNY is coming! But before that, walk around the shops and saw some stalls selling accessories. Bought another dog tag with a longer chain for RM 12.90. Wow, cheaper than S'pore. Now, i can place 2 tags together in one long chain : )
Went straight up to teenager's corner, and visited The Converse Shop. Bought a brown tee for RM 40 and feel pretty worth it, cos Op, U2 and the Reject Shop are selling old designs. However, i did not had a chance to visit Billlabong/Quiksilver shop. sigh... and while walking along the shops, happen to walk past a shop which sells Tibetian sky pearls. Just wondered if it is known as sky pearls in English, cos it was pronounced as Tian zhu in Mandarin. It's those long oval white pearls with some circle designs on it, usually tied with necklaces. Jet Li and Sting are the fans of such accessories, and yeah, Sting is crazy over it! It was said that it could ward off evil and protects the master aka owner of the pearl. Wonder if that's true...cos it seems that more guys b/w 18-30's are wearing it. Should i get myself one?
What's really most disappointing was i couldn't locate Rotiboy's bakery! Famous for their mexican coffee bun with loads of butter, it's definitely not for me, but at least i should try it once in my life. Sad man... and we walked all the way, visiting pirated video stalls. Latest release: The Aviator by Leo Dicapro (and it is running in M'sia theatres rite now.), Kung Fu Hustle, Clean (Maggie Cheung's 2nd French drama with her ex-hubby, Olivier Assayas. Really surprised to find it there.), A Home at the End of the World by Colin Farrell (which i mentioned earlier, it has been rated R21 in S'pore), Million Dollar Baby by Clint Eastwood (!), We Don't Live Here Anymore by Naomi Watts, Kinsey by Liam Neeson and of course not to forget Phantom of the Opera, Alexander and Seed of Chucky. But hey, they do not have the vcd of Ray by Jamie Foxx! And what's more, by the time Ray opens on 17th Feb (8th day of CNY) in S'pore with A Very Long Engagement by Audrey Tautou and Million Dollar Baby, we could purchased the Code 1 DVD of Ray in S'pore under NC16 rating. Retali price at $46. What the heck is this? why S'pore release is so slow...
Went straight to Pelangi Leisure Mall to get usual groceries, and went to the vcd shop in the hypermart itself. It was playing CT Girl's CNY MTV, and let me tell u, dad was kinda attracted to it, but me, as a M'sian, feels disgraced about it. Imaging having hot babes and hunks stripping around and dance and sing CNY songs on it...ok,, a moral degration. CNY is more towards greeting each other in birthday suits, instead of brand new clothes...Rather than having firecrackers and red banners around in traditional costume at either a temple or a chinese house, we have it at the beach, with hot babes and hunks performing sexy wild hot dance. The music? even worst. imitation of modern chinese pop. This is where i just feel that CNY is no longer CNY. It has been commercialised...
whatever. go to gym tomorrow.
