Roundabout No More.
For Penangites, the famous Gurney Drive roundabout is about to be taken down and be replaced with traffic lights. According to the authorities, it has reached its capacity and will be taken down to curb the weekend traffic jams. The decision would help to provide Penang drivers with more ease.
As you can see in the picture, the once beautified with flowers and colourful lights roundabout is now nothing but a round piece thing of grass, an IJM piramid and a couple of coconut trees.

adios roundabout!
Seoul Food.
Two weeks ago, I was overcome by the urge to try out the local Seoul Garden. The thing is, it has been operating for many years already but I haven't tried it till then. When I was there, there were a few koreans slowly sipping their beverage, one's smoking and others were chatting away.
Anyway, here's the food. The famous Bibimbad.
Father's Day.
Father's day came and went, it was rather quiet over that weekend I think. It seems like Mother's Day is more commercialized than Father's Day.
Anyway this is one of the stuffs that my dad bought for us siblings when we were kids. Bet you can't find this anymore in supermarkets or toy stores. I came across it as my mom was going through our collection of toys. It's damn old skool ok.
Papa Smurf!
De Battre Mon Coeur S'est Arrêté.
Today is the last day for the French Film Festival 2006 and it lasted for a week. But only yesterday I managed to go and watch this french movie that I thought was quite interesting.
The show is supposed to go on 715pm but normally it would start probably after 15-20minutes of the stated time. Commercials would commence within that period. The thing is, the show only started around 756pm. In the middle of that, there was the 2minutes blackout of the screen and the audience were patient enough to be quiet. Oh the turn out was not bad. Most of them consists of some aunties and uncles. LOL. The last I went to a foreign movie screening, there were only 8 of us.
My verdict is, I'd say not bad. I was especially intrigued by the songs that they played in the movie. Exceptional choice. Ranging from artistes like Telepopmusik, Bloc Party, Sporto Kantes and The Kills. Oh and there was this part where people were beaten up with the beats of Kylie Minogue's Locomotion.
I must also credit director Jacques Audiard on his taste of filming the scenes in different angles. The script itself delivered to the audience with punches of wittiness that would caught you off guard. The familiarity of it reminds me of day to day conversation that we have in real life. "Balls itch?" was the one that got me laughing. Surprisingly there were words like whore, fuck etc vulgarities on screen. That's new to Malaysian cinemas!
Talking about Malaysian Censorship Board, I think they did cut short on the movie. At the end of the day when I got out of the cinema, I was thinking and wondering about certain parts that has no linkage and keep popping questions to myself. For one thing I know, the movie is suppose to lasts for an hour and 47mins but I am quite certain that it was being cut short by a few minutes. Oh well, I had to read some of the online reviews to answer those questions in my head.
Other than that, I'm not really a movie review person so I'll leave the rest of the comments up to you. You can check out its trailer here.
Oui?
Who wants to go watch this french movie with me?
Tomorrow last day. Hurry!
Sick.
I was on the verge of falling sick. When I was on the phone yesterday night, out of the blue I was feeling dizzy and drowsy. My head was literally spinning and my body reacted by lying down my head instantly. Weird thing is my throat wasn't feeling itchy but I would cough occasionally. The kind that I would puke anytime soon. Then I went to bed early but I was tossing and turning. I sang, I tried not to think of anything and I even tried counting sheeps. But to no avail.
And so it has been raining all day since yesterday and the whole of today. Chilly I'd say but when I was at the wet market yesterday, I bumped into many kinds of people. People who were coughing, people who were sneezing, people who's agitated as well as people who were very confusing. Oh well.
Rainy days make people fall sick more easily with the ever changing weather. For a moment, it's cold and chilly. The next minute, it's sunny and the sun is shining giving the eyes a bright glare. Trust me, it's unbearable. Even this giant size rodent couldn't take it also. Eek. >.<
So peeps, take good care of yourselves and try not to check out the wet market's longkang. Hiaks.
And It Rained All Night.
by Thom Yorke [The Eraser]
And it rained all night and washed the filth away
Down New York airconditioned drains
The click click clack of the heavy black trains
A million engines in neutral
The tick tock tick of a ticking timebomb
Fifty feet of concrete underground
One little leak becomes a lake
Says the tiny voice in my earpiece
So I give in to the rhythm
The click click clack
I'm too wasted to fight back
Tick tack goes the pendulum on the old grandfather clock
I can see you
But I can never reach you
And it rained all night and then all day
The drops were the size of your hands and face
The worms come out to see what's up
We pull the cars up from the river
It's relentless
Invisible
Indefatigable
Indisputable
Undeniable
So how come it looks so beautiful?
How come the moon falls from the sky?
I can see you
But I can never reach you
I can see you
But I can never reach you
