get smart was a real riot. i think it helps that i've seen many of the tv series as a kid. the cast were great and the resemblance to agents 86 and 99 were uncanny.

watched yesterday with dec. before having supper at east coast. laughed a lot from the start of the movie and nice conversations lasted till sending him home.

so will be going to police driving school for my 2 days reservist next month. sounds like fun. will be cam whoring as much as i can.

:-P

on the project front, the people at mda gave some advice on what i want to do, and received a call with an acra representitive yesterday morning after the email exchange we had last friday. she's very nice and am very thankful for her explanations. ultimately i have to decide how i want to proceed. i have to plan out properly this time.

on another hand, how many real people actually have the time for web 2.0? stuffs like facebook, del.icio.us, myspace and so on so forth.

how do you make a "desire" out of nothing?
how do you convert that "desire" to a "need"?

ok.

when was the last time you've seen a malay tv show that's actually entertaining?

i'm hooked to this. the link above leads to most episodes of the series so that's not too bad. made in malaysia with english subs, 25 episodes in all.



sweetest episode so far.

and yeah it stars sharifah amani, or that girl from the film "sepet" amongst other notable malay actors/actresses.

just watched top gun for the nth time in my life. it always leaves me with the same emotions as it did when i first seen it years back. i just realized that this movie prolly resulted in my fixation to yukikaze and macross.

aviator ray bans still look classic.

max, and i quote, "ONE WAY, DEAD END... STREET SIGNS ARE SUCH FITTING METAPHORS FOR THE HUMAN CONDITION." smart witty dialogues. from a rabbit.

back to playing with my favourite dog and rabbit crime investigating duo, sam and max!



while this came in the mail the other day (its just a real cheap toy digital camera that came with the subscription).

click for a larger view, apparently they used douglas adam's hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. how apt that there's a hint of what is to come.

coming from my earlier post about the kindle the only alternative initially was the cybook gen3 by bookean (for its compactness and mobi/prc file support).

however, for USD$299 if i act now, i can get the hanlin v3 by jinke. according to my email exchanges with their marketing/sales the future firmware/software updates for the v3 is set to make the hanlin v3 more attractive, albeit the made in china perception.

so today, asked the boy if he wanted to follow me around looking for some simple polo t's. i did not find anything in vivocity to be appealing. so much for a uber huge shopping centre. found our way to chinatown where i thought i wanted to show him this bookstore called whatever. felt negative vibes actually upon stepping into the store. we left shortly after.

ice creams. and old hokkien songs later, ended up getting 2 nice fitting polo t's at sportsmenasia. not sure if i end up buying because the polo t's are nice, or because i just wanna hump every one of the store assistants.



donuts courtesy of my colleague, pauline. i just love the honeydew flavoured one. no wait. i love all of them~!!!



a little bit of goofing around would prob do me some good. and shoes heaven. as taken by the boy.

( + ) finally i got to watch the film.

the last film was today at lido. "koper" starring anjasmara, the indonesian actor/model who posed nude in some posters recently.

out of the four films that i managed to catch during the film fest, "3 Hari Untuk Selamanya", "Village People Radio Show", "Things We Do When We Fall In Love", "Koper / The Lost Suitcase", i enjoyed the first and the last one the most. interestingly both are from indonesia / indonesian directors. the thing about both films is how they tell their story.



met up the boy at tampines, though i was pretty late. we went to have a look at the NS40 whatever exhibition thingie. oh well, never thought i could feel pretty bored. highlight of the late afternoon was the R4 DS i got for myself. woot.

and we visited ikea tampines~! yay! we also discovered that parents lose their kids in large shopping centres, very easily. we both concluded that they may actually have done it on purpose. i mean, with brats like those, i too would want to leave them behind.

looking forward to the rest of the week. i love the rain. so nice and cool. someone cuddle up with me?

i had a film to catch at the museum's Gallery Theatre in the late evening, village people radio show or here or more over here. really nice little space for watching films. i have to say, you should come for the "under the crescent moon" featured showcase at the museum while it is still on. there were many interesting images on display. part of it is also dedicated to arabic architecture.



a couple of days back i caught "3 Days to Forever - 3 Hari untuk Selamanya" or more about the film here, starring nicholas saputra or here or here, quite the hottie if you ask me.

upcoming will be Things We Do When We Fall in Love or here or here. and The Lost Suitcase (Koper). well hopefully i can get myself off days for both screening.

anyone with his "spring twenty 1973"?

testing online storage for files. now i can share pdf / zip / etc files and no time limit (the only limitation is the 10mb filesize and the monthly 10gb download bandwidth.)

this entry was (partly) posted directly from box.net's online interface. now that i've settled on an online storage system for file distribution, (between this and amazon's S3, via jungledisk.com, i think i'd stick to this one for the time being. anyone knows of a similar service from google or yahoo perhaps?)

the test file is located below. so if you're curious just click. no harm will come your way.

so thanks to ellcrius for spotting the error, which prompted me to figure out how else i can get ie6 to work on vista. i've already known of the multiple ie workaround but it just doesn't work with vista. and i don't want to go through the hassle of dual booting my system, which means i have to log out and log in just to have a quick check.

so i'm really grateful that i stumbled on the virtual pc option purely by chance. and a whole lot of googling. although what i am surprised about is why i didn't stumble on it sooner? perhaps its not a popular means of getting ie6. but... i guess when one is rather desperate for a solution...

on the other hand, i love the idea behind the beryl project. anyone willing to... spare me their old laptops? you can see the beryl project in the videos below. now how's that for flashy desktop. i am so wanting to pimp my... pc...

i'm a pro-bbq fire starter. trust me. the cooking part on the other hand requires quite a lot of work though.

breakfast with choon yesterday. class 95 played some tunes that meant something to me.

on another train of thought, was trying to solve a problem. while i was sleeping. in my dreams. kind of got an answer. but woke up at around 4pm, with a massive headache. back to the codes. hate this feeling. not getting healthy sleep.

off to my sister's chalet with the parents and other family members. with marshmallows, chicken, cheese sausages and satays.
