i feel so sluggish. am returning back to work after hibernating my days away playing games games and more games.
it still hasn’t sunk in that i’ve left my old agency. meeting up with people, there’s still a tendency to use “our” and “us” instead of “you” and “yours”.
old colleagues are warning me against my usual blur tendencies to not come back to IGB tower.
oh well. we still can coffee. :)
…that i am now immune to all types of bad puns.
some photos, sorta stolen from baby. yes, these photos are on her blog as well. we’re bohria and boring like that.

antisocial behaviour: exhibit b (dragon ball)

this is how you’re supposed to act at a wii party.
“nak hold haaaaaaaaaaands.”
even on a wii, golf can’t be saved
i hate golf. i hate it, preciousssssss.
but i love you, Princess DS!
justine, super dragon ball
khairul, unconcious.
geekiest weekend ever. my arms are aching so much, the only reason i can manage to drive is thanks to the power steering. with weekends in like this, who needs to party in town? ;)
wii-ing is tiring, ok?
the regular night of debauchery out at TAG/lapsap/palate/wherever is “sooooo last month” that for a change we had a night of debauchery in.
in attendance: baby lovely, mr. a, haikal starkiller (mario kart cheater), mr. producer, and a sleep-deprived datin. oh, and moi, of course.
pada malam jumaat itu (kira semalam ah) kami beriang ria dengan satu unit wii…
dan…
…dan 4 biji nintendo dual screen kesayangan.
malangnya, yc phoon dan haikal starkiller amat ‘anti-social’ dengan main game hanya ‘single player’ seperti Elite Beat Agents dan errr… rasanya Call of Duty. dan khairul hanya bermain dengan mighty mouse dan tiba-tiba tertidur semasa meng-facebook-ing.
ok, i’m done mimicking baby and her uber melayu posts. thanks to wii sports (bowling, tennis, boxing) i am incapable of lifting my arm above shoulder level.
“diorang ni main cam tennis betul!” aroha laghed just before baby swung with all her might and connected with my arm. i’m just waiting for the killer bruise.
the Night of Mayhem really lived up to its name. incriminating videos and photos were taken, but 98% of them are residing happily in baby’s T2.
“incriminating? how so?” no one is asking.
well, it shows how terribly retarded anyone can look while playing with a wii. especially if you’re decked in a fluffy tulle skirt and a birthday tiara.
<3
tonight the Night of Mayhem continues. that is, after the Last Night Out With Mah Bitches organised by miss ooi. i hope i don’t get lost on my way to J&R.
ciao, bella.
ming and i supposedly have an understanding.
when i first went to bombshell with my dog-eaten hair (not words of my choosing, hell, i liked my cut ok?) my brief to him was “do anything you like, just make it short and easy to style.”
i love ming’s work. plus the fact that he never bugs me to get treatment or buy miscellaneous products.
on my second visit i asked him “can i get a different cut each time?”
today, i asked for something that i could grow out.
“no.”
“but, why? i wanna grow it long. well, not long. but long-ER.”
*ming pauses and looks me in the eye (in the mirror)*
“tell me, do you really think you look good with long hair. do you?”
“no… wait, i mean i don’t know. *whines* i just wanna tryyyyyyy…”
“no. never.”
so now, no going back to the same style. no growing my hair. no knowing what cut i’m going to get.
and i am his willing slave. he’s harder to get hold off than the queen of england and never lets me know anything before (or while) snipping away.
*ming cutting off all the hair on my left side*
“are you giving me a mohawk?”
“no. it’s a falcon.”
“… what’s a falcon?”
“hawks and falcons are birds. like kestrels.”
“…”
here’s his latest.

so after perusing the lowyat forums on where to go for yummy digital goodiness, you find there aren’t many honest vendors in klang valley. two of the more frequently mentioned ones are gamer’s hideout and gamers solution.
well, yeah. talk about creative marketing right?
i did get a little confused, but the differences were jarring and it is now super easy to tell apart.
[Lot LG -11 ( i ) , Lower Ground Floor, Cineleisure]
was just ever so slightly apprehensive after reading comments and feedback. apparently you either get awesome, friendly, mind-blowing service here. or you get the standard douchebaggy bullshit i.e. blank stares and curt answers.
still, i read a lot of apologies on lowyat from djinn aka jason and thought to myself “it must have been some misunderstanding of sorts”.
as if.
we headed there today to purchase guitar hero: on tour for mr. a and datin yc. twice i greeted the girl at the counter, she did not even look at me till the 3rd time i opened my mouth. and only probably because i waved at her (all the while standing directly in front of her face at the counter). even then, she mustered as much interest in us as customers as you would regard a piece of vegetable picked out from between your front teeth.
not a terribly great first impression.
then there was some strange babble about the price RM210 (initial price) vs RM190 (second price given by another unnamed salesperson). ntsc vs pal and other inane discussions could not mask the fella’s chagrin. we went off for two minutes to check out the other store and came back to get it.
service? guitar hero package thrown into a plastic bag, no explanations, no advice, no asking us if we wanted to test it out.
verdict: Gamer’s Hideout Cineleisure = STANDARD DOUCHEBAGGERY
[shoplot R10, City Bazaar (opposite Pertama Complex)]
bernard and crystal are quick to answer phonecalls and queries, brought in products we wanted, gave some discounts & freebies and were generally nice, helpful and pleasant. our little gang on our little quest have purchased 4 nintendo ds lite packages there so far.
verdict: Gamers Solution City Bazaar = PRETTY FUCKING AWESOME
note: photos property of gamer’s hideout and gamers solution respectively.
isn’t it strange that you only have a lot to say when it’s about something unpleasant? i’ve noticed the disparity in the summary lengths for both outlets. ;p
i want some friends.

godamnit, not working. :(
Kepada kawan-kawan,
dengan ini, saya mengisytiharkan pada hari jumaat ini, iaitu, tujuh belas haribulan sepuluh tahun dua ribu lapan masihi adalah hari membeli nintendo DS yg di idam2 kan kita.
oleh itu, saya meminta pihak Justine untuk memastikan bahawa DS ber-color Metallic Rose boleh di beli pada hari itu.
soalan saya, kita hendak pergi beli di mana ni? kedai Justine itu atau kita ingin buat berjalan-jalan di sungai wang lagi?
terima kasih,
Mr. A
