She .. ran out .. and basically, hasn't come back yet ..
Haih

Yesterday was bad ..
Man Utd lost to Liverpool again
no elaborations required
Haih

On another note,

Heard of the book?
Nicholas Sparks ..
Bestselling Author of A Walk To Remember, The Notebook, Message In A Bottle ...
An amazing love story ..
If you read, and you haven't heard of this book, then hear of it now and go read it (:

ANDD I have good news for fans of Dear John
It will soon be ..
as you might have guessed if you have a trace of intelligence somewhere ....
haha jk ...
Yeaa .. it will soon be made into
A HOLLYWOOD MAJOR MOTION PICTURE (:

Starring Channing Tatum of G.I. Joe & Amanda Seyfield of Mamma Mia!
Haha
According to Yahoo Movies, it'd be released worldwide, 5th February 2010 (:
Read the book now, and watch the movie next year :D

Ahh .. Borrowed Inkdeath from SuYuen today
Heh I've been waiting for it for a a while o.O
Been quite some time since i last read
I'm lazy now, remember?
Heh

Oh, have i ever told you I'm very interested in Fantasy-cum-Science Fiction writing?
I'm telling you now (:
I was thinking I would .. you know .. write something during the break and upload it on me blog ..
and you guys might be able to .. give a comment?
That would be much appreciated ..

Ahh ..

HAPPY SWEET 16th :D
(She requested for a different colour .. lol)

to .. CassandraTam (:

Have a great year ahead of you
May your dreams be fulfilled
and
May the luck of the vampires be with you, always ...

Ahh .. speaking of vampires ..
Cirque Du Freak, recently released in North America
got very bad ratings from the critics
haih
i was really looking forward to it
but .. guys .. we're still watching it together-gether, right?
RIGHT??

right

Cheers (:

Coconut Shell Cave Invasion (:

2009-10-26T20:55:00.002+08:00

I was supposed to blog on Friday ...
but I was feeling really lazyy throughout the weekends, so ..
Here I Am (:

So, on Thursday, we Rakan Mudas went on an exploration trip to Gua Tempurung ...
Lemme give you a brief idea of what happened there (:

Journey started at around ... 7.30, around that?
Yeaa .. the journey there was .. rather dull ..
I guess, you could sense the .. uhh .. tension, yes?
The tour guide, by the name of Mr. Lim tried very hard to get us going .. to not much of an avail o.O
I .. was sleeping (:

We had breakie at Tapah Rest Station
Hmm what did I eat there again?
Ahh .. yes .. Currypuffs and cakes (:
Then we set off for Gua Tempurung, located more or less in the southern region of Perak
I was .. pretty nervous ..
Never the adventurous type (:

And thus we entered the cave
and realized we needed to climb a hell lot of steps
and up we climbed
down we descended
and up and down
up and down ..
up and poof !
Khai Jett hits the ground (:
OH IT BLOODY HELL RHYMES
lol
yeaa .. so i fell .. and i almost knocked Zi Yi down
heh

the climbing part was uber awesome
i scraped my knee a lil
but it was very good (:
The sliding down the rocks part was .. scary
I'm scared of heights, see ..
and let's just say, the cave ain't very bright either ..
but all in all, it went very well (:
the adrenaline rush when i slid down the slope felt amazing when i realized i'm still alive
:D
there was also some crawling through the river
you could hear "WATCH YOUR HEAD"and "WATCH THE ROCK" shouts in three different languages repeatedly as our spirits rose considerably ...
I thought the teamwork was exceptional ..
Don't mind going over there again next year (:
Another cave, perhaps, Rakan Muda?

After that, we went for lunch ..
Lackluster
sorry ...
but it was a rather well-known restaurant in this small teeny weeny town ...
mmhm ..

Ahh .. after lunch,
along our journey, we were rather high now ...
Teasing jokes about Hot Chocolates and .. well ..
There were songs too ..
We the boys (occupying the back section of the bus) sang to song after song from my phone
Uhm .. wait .. i think we practically shouted the lyrics (:
the girls didn't join in though ..
they wanted to sleep ..
i don't think they did ..
we were too loud ..
won't be surprised if they felt like slapping me then (:

Ahh .. 3+ in the afternoon, came the HotSpring (:
God-like
altho' i can't stand the heat, i'm not sure why
but the swim was absolutely first class (:
it's warm-water-swim for a change, rather unlike the freezing cold water in the swimming pools we're used to
(:
we played .. monkey (:
We had no ball, therefore we used MY shirt as the ball (:
the green Prefect one ..
haha
it didn't rip
good quality :D

after that, stopped by Ulu Bernam Rest Station
bought 8 paos (:
heheh

around 9.35 we reached school

around 10 i reached home

tired, yet exhilirated (:

Okayy .. that's it for the CaveExploration ..
I'll still be blogging, but in a different post ..
I hope you enjoyed it ..
I certainly did

Cheers (:

In A Hurry

2009-10-21T21:57:00.004+08:00

Alright ..
I'm in a rush ..
I have much to talk about ..
For once, not so about me, more so about some other bigger stuff ...
What do I mean, by some other bigger stuff?
Find out on Friday (:

haha ..
I'll be off practically the whole day tomorrow ..
To Gua Tempurung .. then some Hot Spring thingy in Perak, I think?
A Rakan Muda program which I was chosen to participate in ..

Uhm..
anyways .. I was frolicking through the TV Stations
and guess what?
The Mentalist a.k.a. Simon Baker actually starred in The Guardian (:
I mean, the Guardian TV Series ...
As Nick Fallin (:
So, anyway ..
Just a fun trivia :D
haha ...

He is very talented
Terribly witty ..
Person Score of 9.4 / 10 on TV.com
Click on this to find out more about him..
Also, I checked out Hugh Laurie & Wentworth Miller
heheh ..
9.6 & 9.5 respectively
lol

Where the hell is Wentworth Miller anyway?
Don't you think it's time for him to GET A NEW JOB?!

TV.com tells you quite alot of TV Series stuff
Go check it out (:
They have a cool rating system for each actor / show to determine if they are worth watching (:
House is 9.2 / 10 (:
The rest I'm not sure 'cuz all of a sudden TV.com is down, or is it my god damn WiMAX?
mmhm

Okies
I'll be off now
sleeping early tonight as there's a match coming on later
CSKA Moscow vs Man Utd, 12.25am live on ESPN (:

I'll be back on Friday with what I hope is an exciting, though well known topic :D

Oh Look at my C-Box and spot a nice song, as recommended by a certain Sumi (:

Looking forward
Cheers !

Dreadful Day Out

2009-10-20T17:22:00.007+08:00

Same time last year, I was out at OU, searching high and low for a part time job..

Oct. 20 2009
I decided .. it is that time of the year again (:
Off I went .. to OU
with high hopes and expectations
only to be let down
once again :/

See, the juice last year, was that I was underage
Fine .. Nothing can be done .. They want 16+ , I was 15 .. no deal
Except for O'Briens, of course, who took me in ..
Man was i grateful (:

So, you ask..
Why am I still looking for a job when I've already got one?
True, but I would really enjoy a new challenge..
Hence, the purpose of the trip to OU today (Besides gettin' a haircut)

Argh
In and out of countless shops ..
It is either ..
The pay was lower than O'Briens..
The pay was equal to O'Briens, except no meal provided..
Part-timers not wanted..
16 yo not wanted..
Boy not wanted..
lol

After an hour or so,
Managed to strike something with TGV, GSC, Fila, and a couple more of others..
Point is ..
most of their salary & benefits aren't half as good as O'Briens..
Haih ..

But, I shall not give up
I, the disciplinarian (Lmao!)
I, the .. uhh.. whatever ..
Will continue to search, be it high or low, for my destiny (:

Ahh, did I tell you, I watched the movie "Once" last night

Ratings : C+ (The critics gave it an A-, though)

Genres:	Art/Foreign, Drama, Musical/Performing Arts and Romance

Running Time:	1 hr. 28 min.

Release Date:	May 16th, 2007 (limited)

MPAA Rating:	R for language.

Distributors:	Fox Searchlight Pictures

U.S. Box Office:	$9,437,933

it was certainly a very special movie ..
Narrating the lives of "Guy" (Glen Hansard) & "Girl" (Marketa Irglova)
both emotionally wounded by their respective partners
both brought together by their extreme interest & talent in music
Guy with the Guitar, Girl with the Piano
Altho' I believe it was not professionally shot or directed, the storyline is raw, but decent
A movie filled with emotions
emotions in love
emotions in heartbreak
emotions in music
emotions in life..

But
I didn't like it.. Haha.. I think it is beautifully done and all, and Glen & Marketa did well, but .. perhaps i'm not a fan of this "music/performing arts" thingy, y'know?

However, if you are interested in classic-ish musicals and a raw storyline, then give this a shot
Also, regardless if you wanna watch it,
Take a listen to ..
"Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova ..
no doubt one of the most soothing and touching duet i've ever heard in my life..
World Class !

Cheers (:

Ahh .. What A Great Feeling (:

2009-10-19T23:38:00.008+08:00

This is precisely why i love life after the exams ..

There are absolutely no expectations of you to do anything considered the least bit hardworking
You feel me?
Haha (:
The Mentalist
(:
... is guh-reat xD

The show revolves around Patrick Jane, a.. uh.. well.. Mentalist (:
or .. Psychic, if you don't know what a mentalist is.. which I'm sure you don't.. unless you watched the show.. of which if you watched it, I'm sure you'd know he's actually NOT a psychic..
Uhm .. am i confusing you?
Lol

Anyway, the point is .. it's a good show :D
For fans of House, I believe this show would be very much to your liking ..
You see, Patrick is rather like House in many ways ..
Selfish
Arrogant
Eccentric
yet ..
Brilliant (:

And post-exam period also symbolizes the Annual Movie Marathon 2009 (:
At press time, I've only managed to watch 2 movies and a couple of episodes of theMentalist
but ..
PLENTY MORE TIME, RIGHT?

Ratings : Somewhere between A- and B+

Ratings : B+ (As I absolutely hated the ending, I'll give it a B)

Haha (:
So..
A Walk To Remember ..
Based on the Romance Novel by Nicholas Sparks
a very good movie
touching
The acting was great
I thought Mandy Moore did very well .. and she looked pretty cute too, from certain angles xP
oh and by the way, that Shane West guy has creepy eyes :/
Ugh ...

Valkyrie
Operation Valkyrie
See, forgive me for thinking this way, but everytime the word TomCruise appears, my mind flies off to a high-end production with low ratings..
He didn't do THAT badly in Mission Impossible ..
and yet he became widely known as the most over-rated actors of all time (along with Madame Halle Berry)
People seem to have something against him ALL THE TIME
in MI, they criticized his acting
when he hitched up with Katie, they criticized his height
when TomKat got Suri, they criticized his religion pula

But in Valkyrie, I simply can't seem to find any fault with him
He acted the cool guy .. whatzisname? uhh.. Stauffenburg, yes...
Expressionless, cool, calculating...
and he didn't look too bad with one eye (:
LOL
yet again, the critics were.. less easily impressed..
As usual, after the premiere (especially in Germany) Tom was branded a joke ..
ultimately unfit to symbolize the influence and inspiration Stauffenburg brought to his people ...
Come on, give him a BREAK, guys ...

Valkyrie is pretty good o.O
Not trying to spoil anything for you, but i absolutely hated the ending (:
HEIL HITLER
:D
haha x)

Aites .. so far, so good..
the movies i've watched have all exceeded expectations (I watched Gothika, too.. But I was too disappointed in the storyline, I decline to say anything about it.. Laugh all you might, but I daresay HalleBerry ain't thatt bad, too!)
haha

Oh, Amy MacDonald's Run would be the Song of the Day (:

Cheers x)
Es lebe unser heiliges Deutschland!

At Long Last

2009-10-17T13:49:00.010+08:00

Aha !

The painstaking exams are finally a thing of the past (:
No more late-night studying ...
No more skipping afternoon naps ...
No more stress ...
No more pressure ...
(:

Okay ..
down to business ..
I do remember having LOTS to blog about ..
but at this moment .. i have only one thing in mind ...

Yep, you guessed right, I'm gonna tell you all about

Ratings : A-

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS x)

Erm ..
Since a month or so ago, I've been getting alot of stick for repeatedly stating my desire to watch the aforementioned movie..
Well, since NO ONE wanted to watch it with me, I decided to persuade dear old mummy to accompany me ..
It worked ..
And the movie was a BLAST (:

IMO, best movie of the year !

The Sun Newspaper seemed to agree with me in their reviews :-
Plot : 9
Value : 9
Voices : 9

Absolutely brilliant (:

Oh Oh!
GSC seemed to be unable to properly spell the movie title ..
On me ticket, it says :-
Loudy With A Change ...
roflmao

Loudy With a Change of Meatballs, eh? x)

Alright, on a serious tone ..
Seriously, go watch it ..
Cloudy's one hell of a movie, for children and adults alike (:
There's absolutely no need for 3D, though ..

Well .. on another note,
I think I'm looking for a part-time job ..
So .. if there are any bosses reading this blog ..
I'm an unemployed man =)

lmao ..

I'm actually wondering if i should go back to O'Briens, or get another job ...
mmhm o.O

Ahh .. and Eminem's Beautiful finally made it to Malaysia (:
Heard it for the 1st time on Fly FM ..
Pleasee go go go hear it o.O
I swear the song's really beautiful (:

And .. I'll throw in the lyrics for you, too !

Eminem - Beautiful
Songwriters : Mathers, Marshall

I'm just so fucking depressed
I just can't seem to get out this slump
If i could just get over this hump
But i need something to pull me out this dump
I took my bruises took my lumps
Fell down and i got right back up
But i need that spark to get psyched back up
And in order for me to pick the mic back up
I dont know how or why or when
I ended up this in position i'm in
I'm started to feel dissin' again
So i decided just to pick this pen
Up and try to make an attempt to vent
But i just can't admit
Or come to grips with the fact that i may be done with rap
I need a new outlet
And i know some shits' so hard to swallow
But i can't just sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow but i know one fact
I'll be one tough act to follow
One tough act to follow
I'll be one tough act to follow
Here today gone tomorrow but you'd have to walk a thousand miles

Chorus
In my shoes, just to see
What it's like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what it'd be like
To feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each other's minds
Just to see what we'd find
Look at shit through each other's eyes
Don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
Don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you

I think i'm starting to lose my sense of humor
Everything's so tense and gloom
I almost feel like i gotta check the temperature of the room just as soon as i walk in
It's like all eyes on me i try to avoid any contact
Cuz if i do that then it opens the door for conversation like i want that
i'm not looking for extra attention i just want to be just like you
Blend in with the rest of the room maybe just point me to the closest restroom
I dont need no fucking man servant tryin ta follow me around and try to wipe my ass
Laugh at every single joke i crack and half of them ain't even funny like Hahhhhh
"Marshall you're so funny man you should be a comedian god damn"
Unfortunately i am i just hide behind the tears of a clown
So why don't you all sit downn
Listen to the tale that i'm about to tell
Hell we don't have to trade our shoes
And you don't have to walk no thousand miles

Chorus
In my shoes, just to see
What it's like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what it'd be like
To feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each others minds
Just to see what we'd find
Look at shit through each others eyes
Don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
Dont let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to youuuuu

Nobody asked for life to deal us with these bullshit hands we're dealt
We gotta take these cards ourselves and flip em don't expect no help
Now i could have either just stayed at home sit on my ass and pissed and moaned
Or take this situation with which i'm placed in and get up and kick my own
I was never the type of kid to wait by the door and pack his bags
And sat on the porch and hope and prayed for a dad to show up who never did
I just wanted to fit in in every single place every school i went
I dreamed of being that cool kid even if it meant acting stupid
Aunt Ddna always told me keep making that face and it'll get stuck like that
Meanwhile im just standing there holding my tongue try to talk like this
Then i stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole at 8 years old
I learned my lesson then cuz i wasn't trying to impress my friends no more
But i already told you my whole life story
Not just based on my description
Cuz where you see it from where your sittin' its probably 110% different
I guess we would have to walk a mile in each others shoes at least
What size you wear? i wear tens
Let's see if you can fit your feet

Chorus
In my shoes, just to see
What it's like, to be me
I'll be you, let's trade shoes
Just to see what it'd be like
To feel your pain, you feel mine
Go inside each others minds
Just to see what we'd find
Look at shit through each others eyes
But don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you
Don't let them say you ain't beautiful
They can all get fucked just stay true to you

Yeah
To my babies
Stay strong
Daddy will be home soon
And to the rest of the world
God gave you the shoes that fit you
So put 'em on and wear them
Be yourself man
Be proud of who you are
And even if it sounds corny
Don't ever let anyone tell you you ain't beautiful

Indeed, a very well written song ..
Half of it was written while Eminem was wallowing in rehab..
Hence, the emo tone
haha (:

Oh, and since I'm starting to realize that MANY songs never made it to Malaysia,
be it old songs, or new songs,
Hence, I'll introduce a song (which never made mainstream M'sia) everytime i blog ..
What think you?
Good?
Bad?
No comments?

Haha ..

Song of the Day :-
Leona Lewis - Run

Bonus Track just for today cuz I'm in a very good mood :-
Tyler Hilton - You'll Ask For Me

hehe :D

Oh and Cherilynn, if you're reading this, sorry for the terrible delay ..
but ..

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY (:

to a great year ahead :D

I'll be back .. soon .. fingers crossed ..
And i'll be getting Streamyx soon ..
I can't believe I'm getting it after all the complaints i've heard of them ..
But seriously ..
They're still the best among our somewhat pitiful Malaysian Internet Providers, aren't they?
Perhaps SingTel should come over ..
mmhm ..
MalTel .. haha ..

Oh, and to all Hindus

HAPPY DIWALI

from all of us at etchingsoflife.blogspot.com

Well, actually, it's just me ..
heh x)

Aites ..
This is a veryy long post ..

Cheers for reading (:

Here I Am

2009-09-29T11:51:00.002+08:00

Those of you who went to school ...
Are probably wondering ,
" Where's that Lee Khai Jett arh? "
when I personally assured a couple of people last night that i was going to school ...

Mmhm..
Let's just say ...
Mum forgot to set the alarm ...
And let's just say ...
I'm kinda hopeless with the alarm =/
can't seem to ever wake up myself ...
so we sama-sama woke up at 11 >.<
hence .. i'm not at school now
lol

Oh, and I'm gonna take down the mixpod now

Bye Bye mixpod (:

Three Cheers for the King !

I Hate Mondays

2009-09-28T20:43:00.005+08:00

So..
Today .. 1st day back at school ..

I dislike Mondays
Mondays.. are.. the start of a tiring week at school ...
Wake up at 6.25am ..
Reach school at 7am ..
Have LATE breakfast at 10.35am .. not to mention STARVING myself waiting for the recess bell o.O
Go home at 1.50pm
Have LATE lunch at 2.15pm
Sleep at 3pm
Wake up at 4.45pm
Forget to have tea before heading to tuition at 5.10pm
Starve at tuition ..
Still starving..
And still ..
Stomach growling .. (wonder if Cherilynn heard .. mmhm)
Stomach grinding .. thanks to access Hydrochloric Acid with nothing to do
lol
Head home at 7.30pm
Have LATE dinner at 8pm

Well, that's my Monday for you ..
And if things could get any worse .. I need to STUDY after this post
HAIH

On a slightly brighter side,
Physics Tuition today was.. mmhm.. for a better word.. cooler than usual
She taught the Refraction of Light
And she had those.. mirror blocks, if you know what i mean
so .. lights turned off, in the darkness
she illuminated us with some pretty fascinating sight
She had this red spotlight thingy which she used to .. uhh .. shine towards the glass blocks
all sorts of shape punya glass blocks
and well .. it showed us the refraction and reflections
looked really cool in the dark (:
was busy .. admiring the glowing red LED that i'm not too sure if i understood what she taught
but .. oh well

Haha ..

Mmhm ..
Oh I realized ..
that since the start of the Raya holidays,
I have become a WISE guy
WHY, you ask?
surely i didn't get all wise and saint-like in a couple of days?
No?

Haha
Well ..
I NOW AM A PROUD OWNER OF A
..
..
WISDOM TOOTH (:
ONE wisdom tooth .. on me.. uhh.. right
haha
wonder where's my left one
mmhm
probably not wise enough, yet
lol

It's kinda painful though
Poked me today when I slept on me side..
Haih
If i have to pluck it out arh
Mmhm .. They say it's pretty painful, eh?

Oh, thinking of taking down my mixpod
Slows down the loading of the page, don't you think
Hmm .. after holidays, perhaps o.O

Oh .. and as i forgot on Saturday ..
Here's to
YiLyn

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY

Have an awesome year ahead of you (:

2009-09-21T15:38:00.004+08:00

As you may know, yours truly was away for the past few days
A weird couple of days too o.O

Practically, it was fun & entertainment all the wayy
not much of mourning
not much of studying (Oh yes .. I brought Addy, Bio, Chem & History there but ended up studying nothing o.O)

On a happier note,
The food there was awesome .. as always ..
Beef Noodles (I'm partially allergic to cow .. but .. whatever)
Char Kuey Tiao
Laksa
Curry Prawns
&
so much more (Yup, chicken backside deserves a mention, too!)

Took a plane back to KLIA last night at 9.45pm

Mmhm..has been a longg time since I last boarded a plane..
I was .. uhh.. paying a lot of attention to how the plane takes off and lands ..
well.. I concluded,
that flying a plane looks pretty simple (I'm gonna be a pilot xD)
But, it's not supposed to be THAT simple, right? o.O

Ooh the plane shook a lil .. turbulence, I guess
That was the most interesting incident in an otherwise boring plane ride o.O

Well ..
That's about it o.O
The next few days will be spent trying to get some History into my head ..
I'm a lil .. behind schedule ..
Lmao :D

Oh .. and I have History tips (:
LOL
Contact me if you want it, don't have it, and don't mind taking the risk
:D

Cheers !

P.S. MU 4 MC 3
Hoorah !
Glory Glory Man. United
And the Reds go marching ON ! ON! ON !!!

2009-09-16T22:47:00.002+08:00

It was supposed to be a classic chillax Wednesday night ..
Was about to write about the VMA's Taylor-Kanye Feud too ..

However, the joke was on me as I found out about the death of a relative..

Haih ..

Shall be boarding a bus to Penang tomorrow afternoon..

I'd need to be at school tho' .. couple of dues not settled..

No further comments at press time, currently in turmoil rushing preparations for the trip

I should be over there until Sunday night ..

Not sure if there exists decent Internet Connection over there
Not even sure where I'm staying o.O
geez -.-

I'll be back with updates, as soon as I can (:

Cheers !

Oh,

R. I. P

My First (:

2009-09-09T19:58:00.005+08:00

As they say, "in life, there's always a first in everything".

Definitely ..

These couple of days, I've experienced some firsts.

Cousin came over, from Sarawak where he's working as a DOCTOR
spent priceless time with him, as I rarely see him nowadays o.O
lmao

Went to Restoran Murni (:
okayy give me some stick if you want, but it IS my first time there :/
and I've heard some awesome stuff about 'em :D

Let me tell you, though ..
at 12.00am, it's PACKED with people..
more than 50 tables, with an average of 4 pax per table..
(50 x 4 = 200)
Over 200 people, hanging out there at midnight
THAT, says it all about Murni (:

They serve absolutely EVERYTHING
Chinese, Indian, Malay, Western ..
You name it, they've got it :D

Go try it out for yourself !
x)

and I also took a train to Midvalley Megamall
for the first time
See, I'm this pampered 16 year old who travels around the city in the luxury of his parents' car
so..taking a train somewhere is NEW stuff for me :D
It was kinda cool actually (:
(Oh, the other only time was when I went to watch Man Utd at Bukit Jalil with Anastasia Andrew Veno & Mr. DSP Andrew Veno ! xD )

Had Korean for lunch x)
Beef was superbb (:
Had San Fransisco's Iced Blended Mocha after that ..
BUY 1 FREE 1
haha :D
Da pao-ed Krispy Kreme o.O
Weird though, that the shop was empty :/
Seems DONUTS are going out of fashion
lol

Took a bus back..so..
BUS sucks :/
it..rocks around horribly violently o.O

Yeahh .. that's pretty much it
Cousin should be stuck at KLIA now, awaiting his flight back to Penang (:
Safe trip, bro :D

Cheers !

ROFLMAO

2009-09-07T15:23:00.005+08:00

A few videos, as recommended by a friend, Minn Hwei ..
she's studyin' at Singapore now, y'know
Lucky her..
:/

It was hilarious, especially at the start..
then it got a lil boring..
but..no matter..give it a try nonetheless (:

Ahh ..
there's another one..
for Harry Potter fans, like me (:
sort of a..MUSICAL thingy o.O

If you like it, visit youtube.com, search for "Potter Puppet Pals"

Sunday Evening Talk

2009-09-06T22:23:00.006+08:00

Without further ado, let us begin ...

ONE month to Finals :/
The aim was to finish a chapter of History per day (as of yesterday)
however, the result was..dreadful
I DID ONLY 5 PAGES FOR THE DURATION OF YESTERDAY & TODAY
-.-

This studying thing ain't working out..
It's not near enough to the exam to make me panic and start studying diligently like all good boys should..

Should I be worried?

Truth be told, I'm not exactly coping very well..
History's as bad as ever (a C for mid-term >.<)
Chemistry..hate it..suck at it ..
Biology..go to hell =.="

I WANNA BE A DOCTOR, BUT I SUCK AT BIOLOGY
I mean, COME ON, who wants to learn about how an Amoeba or Paramecium move..
We can't even see them for Merlin's sake..

Ahh..Merlin..The puffy old willy wizard..
I'm currently..uhh..obsessed with Harry Potter.. AGAIN ...
I know, weirdo, huh ..

Back to the point..where was I?
YEAH .. BIO IS ABSOLUTELY AWFUL
no matter...
the plan (for now..it changes every few weeks, you see)
is to be a Pilot..
then retire at 30+ years old
then open a restaurant
then open a hotel
then a housing estate
then a business centre..
Oh well, you get the idea :D
We'll see how that works out

Hmm..I've got two complimentary GSC Movie Passes (Won at the Prefects' Dinner)
they've been SCREAMING for me to use 'em
but they're for asterisk (*) movies only o.O
District 9, perhaps?
G.I. Joe .. heh x) I wanna see

Crazy 'bout the title (:
CLOUDY WITH THE CHANCE OF MEAT BALLS
AWESOME :D

The trailer looks so-so..
but..well..I'm thoroughly excited by the Cloudy & Meatballs thingy o.O

Oh, there's another one ..

THE Final Destination
Mum watched it tho'
Said it sucked :/

But it's THE Final Destination..WHY must it suck?
haih

Mann, just realized, they ALL come in 3D now, don't they o.O

New Moon's comin' up too
along with Cirque Du Freak

Just came up with a silly weird idea..
I'm thinking of....
Trying out this Puasa thingy for one day (:
ya' know, to feel what it feels like..
Next year, perhaps
or the year after that
or the year after that
Mmhm wonder where I got the thought from o.O
scaryyy :/

Alright I've got a Prefect Report to complete

Cheers !

And now, come to think of it,

SELAMAT BERPUASA (:

The Jackpot

2009-09-03T22:44:00.003+08:00

Mmhm..

So, school reopened o.O

Hence, the inability to blog regularly ..

Lemme fill you in .. on ..

NATIONAL DAY !!

Noo, I'm not gonna tell you how I celebrated it (simply 'cuz I didn't)

lol

I wanna tell you about ...

TRIPLE PAY

O' BRIENS @ 1 Utama (:

For the 1st time in etchingsoflife.blogspot.com history, I'm not gonna tell you how nice the food was (altho' it WAS pretty good) ..

Anyway, so, in conjunction with Hari Merdeka, O' Briens are offering Triple Pay, expecting a huge crowd of customers..

Ha, ha ..

Lemme tell you, no doubt, 1 Utama was FILLED with people ..

But O' Briens was as empty as an .. uhh .. empty box

lol

Oh Oh ! There was this guy who walked in, stared at the menu for five minutes or so..

Then muttered REALLY loudly

"Subway is better .."

ROFLMAO

Hmm..school was okayy, I guess ..

Had Prefect Monthly Meeting #2 today o.O

Will be doing the Editorial Page with Sumi tomorrow (:

Perhaps I'll be uploading our work-of-art, so look out for it !

It's gonna be Guhh-reaattt :D

Cheers !

P.S. : Don't mute my MixPod ! Hear out Jay Sean's DOWN & Eminem's BEAUTIFUL !

You'll never regret it (:

2009-08-30T21:14:00.004+08:00

Had Vegetarian for dinner...

NOTE : V-E-G-E-T-A-R-I-A-N (:

At Nanking Vegetarian Restaurant o.O

Alright..This is kinda hard to explain..mmhm..

So I went to a Vegetarian Restaurant to eat MEAT..

uhm..MEAT made of Flour & Vegetables..

Well..I can assure you carnivores out there, that the Vegetarian Meat is wayy better than some ORIGINAL Meat product served at certain high-end restaurants..

Orders : Curry Mutton, some Abalone thingy, Thai Style Chicken With Lemongrass

Curry Mutton was awesomeee (:

Abalone-y was greatt (:

Chicken was so-so :/

But all in all, the taste was above expectations for food made of simple vegetables..oh..and flour, of course..

FLOUR indeed..

I LOST MY TELEPHONE NUMBER ; CAN I HAVE YOURS?

Yesterday , 28 Aug 09

Destination : Curve
Objective : Movie & Shopping (:

The cinema was EMPTY, except for us. So WE had the ENTIRE cinema to ourselves (:
Ended up lying on the Couple Sits, watching this good-for-nothing movie.
THE JOKES WEREN'T EVEN HALF FUNNY !

Recommendation : Terrible .. If you hate comedies, don't watch it ; If you love comedies, don't watch it either ..
1 / 5

The trip to Curve was..VERY interesting (:

THIS SHIRT WOULD LOOK GREAT ON YOUR FLOOR

x)

Back from Curve, found out that we had to do TWO Kerja Amal for Moral :/

AND IT'S ONLY ONE (1) FRIGGIN' MARK PER KERJA AMAL
Goodness me

Puan Noraini Amran..You're truly a LIFE-SAVER (:

Today , 29 Aug 09

Finally laid my hands on the long-overdue Magazine Dividers (I'm in the Editorial Board Graphics Department, see?)

Well..
I'm uploading my..masterpieces..
Please, be my judge and tell me what YOU think about it (:

2009-08-27T15:47:00.005+08:00

Bro took off to Indonesia today..AGAIN..

his girlfriend has been posted there for 6 months..so..
a trip to Indonesia becomes a monthly affair for him (:
haihh LOVEBIRDS :D

as if to..uhh..celebrate his..absence from home (mind you, I wanted to use departure but it sounds like as if he died)..mum brought me to OU..
O-kayy..no biggie, right?
Wait 'till you see the next part ...

WE WENT TO EAT ......

UH-UH ...
THE Shogun (:

See, I've been dying to eat at that place ...

So..at 12.50, we stepped into the restaurant and it was already PACKED (:
After settling down with some Ocha, off we went to get some FOOD :D
And what a surprise I got ...
See, I've always thought Shogun was a JAPANESE buffet restaurant..
uh-uh it appears I was wrong..
Shogun has a W-I-D-E range of choices...
and I mean W-I-D-E in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS
From Tempura to Sushi, Fried Rice to Spaghetti, Shark's Fin to Miso Soup, Tomyam in Thai Style to Salads, Hong Kong Dim Sum to Beijing Peking Duck, Nescafe to Ginseng Tea, Ice-creams to Cakes & Puddings ...
You name it, they've got it..
So..this is supposed to be GOOD, right?

err...NOPE...not good..
so..on with the story, after delightfully taking 3 plates full of stuff and a cup of Iced Lemon Tea, I sat down and started savouring my meal
mmhm..just one word...
the food was...
BAD
:(

I don't know what to say..but the taste I was looking for just ain't there..
Alright FINE the Teriyaki Chicken was okayy..but that's about it..
OH WELL ALRIGHT the Nescafe and Chocolate Cake were pretty good ..
but Seriously?
this place is packed with people day in day out, I'd expect something wayy better than this :/

The pricing is ... I guess..value for money as you get quite a variety of food choices..
For Monday to Friday, Lunch is at RM43++(with a 35% discount) ; Dinner is at RM58++(with a 30% discount)
Weekends, Lunch is at RM48++ ; Dinner is at RM60++ [no discount]

Shogun @ One Utama
Food Quality : 2 / 5
Food Variety : 5 / 5
Recommendation : For all-round eaters with money in their pockets, go ahead o.O

Ahh..should I also mention
I met almost the ENTIRE WORLD at OU
mmhm..let's just say..today's not about who's in OU
it's more of..who's NOT in OU
LOL
Maybelle, Lee Min, Soo Ann, Lin Lei, Mior (没有), Maverick, Thien Yik ...
Alright alright you get the point (:

Ohh in case you were wondering about the emptiness of my blog, I'm currently looking for some photos..so..rest assured..I'll defo make it more .. COLOURFUL .. Okay, Jescee?

Oh..and for the "posted by Khai Jett" thingy below every post, anyone knows how to change it?
Please leave a comment to..uhh..enlighten me (:
Thanky

Well, time for me to finish up my Chinese Folio thingy..

Cheers !

UP (:

2009-08-25T20:27:00.009+08:00

Destination : The Curve

Objective : Lunch & UP (:

Had Sutra for lunch..

They had this Set Lunch Promo..Buy 1 set, get another set free (:

Order : Thai Style Fried Chicken, Kangkung Belacan, Omelet & Steam Fragrance Rice

The food was good, albeit it came in horrendously small portions..Not surprising though, as it is EXTREMELY RARE that you see a "Buy 1 Free 1" Promo in a Fine Dining Cuisine :D

Chicken tasted awesome..A tad bit hard and a serious lack of MEAT, but great nonetheless..

Kangkung was..a 'lil..extraordinary..you'd need to try it for yourself..it just..tasted different from our run-of-the-mill kangkung belacan.

Pre-meal, we were served with some keropok appetizer thingy..

Tasted good and crispy (:

Ahh..let's talk about their Ice Water..

As 'tho it is now a trend to place lemon slices in ice water to..uhh..freshen things up,

DON'T LAH PUT UNTIL IT TASTES LIKE LEMON WATER !

Mmhm, providing you can ignore the Food Portion and icky Ice Water, Sutra definitely gets my thumbs-up :D

Go try it! But beware, without the Lunch Promo, their food prices would reduce your wallet to feathers xP

Sutra @ Curve ; http://www.sanctuaryrestoclub.com/menu.html

Food Quality : 4 / 5

Service : 4 / 5

Ambiance : 5 / 5

Recommendation : Good food, good food indeed (:

Now, let us move on to ...

Ahh..all the hype surrounding it..

Its Critics Review and U.S. Box Office trashed Harry Potter 6 & G.I. Joe...

Question is..does it live up to its "billing" as (As I've mentioned in my earlier post)

BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR / BEST EVER DISNEY PIXAR MOVIE?

Sorry to disappoint, folks, but the answer is a categorical NO ...

Best Movie Of The Year..perhaps, perhaps..But do note, that the movies produced this year have been abysmal and wayyy below average :/

Transformers, HP6 ... None of 'em rocked my socks off..in fact, they didn't even feel the fabric of my sock..

Neway, UP - Best Ever Disney Pixar Movie?

nahh

Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille were wayy better o.O

The storyline of UP ain't bad..

It's not just a flying-away-in-a-house-magically-lifted-by-balloons thingy

Somehow somewhat it contains hidden lessons, about loyalty, determination, friendship, ambition ... as all Pixar movies do (:

No, it's not that..

The idea was good..

Unfortunately, the execution wasn't..

I was left wondering, at the end, what were the 3-D Glasses (which cost 5 bucks each, mind you!) for..

The graphics weren't at all amazing

Great sceneries, promised by 3-D Tech, were nowhere to be seen..

The movie itself ain't bad, but my experience was defo ruined by the pre-movie hype..

Definitely not a bad movie (it's Pixar, duh!), but certainly over-rated

Recommendation : Go ahead..but 3-D is definitely not recommended

3 / 5

Cheers !

Debut Offering

2009-08-25T11:58:00.000+08:00

I am Khai Jett, Lee
THIS, is my THIRD blog site (:
I'm reaallyyy hoping, this time, it works for me...

Due to..uhh..unforeseen circumstances, I sort of screwed my two previous blogs..
There they are now, lying around, long forgotten, dreadfully abandoned.

So..due to a..sudden rush of renewed interest, here I am, struggling to create a new (and I hope, final) blog..
Trying to find the perfect designs and gadgets weren't easy..
You see, I spent
ONE HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY DOES YOUTUBE EMBED FOUR VIDEOS IN A ROW..
and
ANOTHER HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE YOUTUBE NOT EMBED FOUR VIDEOS IN A ROW..

Gave up soon after and decided to just use MixPod :D
Much easier..faster..
No video, though =/

Well..Am in a rush at the mo...
Mum's been rushing me to go showweerrrr
'CUZ IMMA GO WATCH UP, BAYYYBEHH (:

UP, brought to you, by Disney Pixarrrr :D

I'll be back later..with a first-hand review of the acclaimed
BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR & BEST EVER DISNEY PIXAR MOVIE o.O

Feels good to be back x)

Cheers !
