WEEKEND ACTIVITIES 27-28 MARCH 2010

SATURDAY - 27 MARCH 2010

It was a busy weekend for me. My house was chosen by my close friends to hang out on Saturday night which means preparation need to be done earlier than that. It was my intention to go back to my hometown in Muar whereas Ednel also wanted to give his long awaited souvenirs (from his trip to Australia last year) to his ex colleagues in Tangkak, so we decided to go back on that same day.

It was 10.30am when we started the journey to Muar, Ed drove my car and we reached my house near 12.00pm. My mum had cooked my favourite dish for lunch i.e Sambal Tumis Udang, Ikan Cencaru masak sambal serai, masak lemak kacang and ikan selar goreng.....nothing taste better than mum's..seriously hehe

Next we went to Tangkak to meet Ed's colleagues, two lovely girls who are still teaching in Ed's ex-college. From Tangkak we went to Muar, stopping by at Giant Shopping Mall to buy an induction cooker and groceries. We then went to one of the best selling mee bandung in Muar. It was one of the food I promised my friends for tonite get together. While waiting for the food, Ed and I ate its famous sate. I agreed with Ed that all of its food here are delicious not only for its mee bandung but also for its soto and its nasi goreng berempah...also one of my favourite food there.

Across the bridge, we went to another famous eating place i.e. Murtabak Singapore. I bought 4 big pieces with RM10.00 per piece to bring home but not without taking a queue first...

By 6.00pm. we headed back to KL, reaching home near 8.00pm. By 8.30pm, our friends i.e Is, Safuan, Panzer, Wan, Leo, Amri and later, Sharul and Memey came to my house.. Is brought chicken drummets with chili paste, Leo- curry puff, Amri - ice creams, Safuan - Krispy Kreme, Wan - fruits, Panzer- drinks and Sharul with ice cubes.. We played the game of TABOO for a few rounds and afterward watched CLASH OF THE TITANS, the original version... By 1.30am, Wan, Is and Safuan left my house and the rest near 4.00am.

SUNDAY - 28 MARCH 2010

Not so early in the morning, Ednel and I did the clean up from last nite activities. Later, we went to Pavillion to watch the movie we intended to watch last week i.e. How To Train Your Dragon. The only available time for 3D was at 4.30pm and after buying the tickets we went to Tony Roma for lunch. Later we went to a Nike shop where Ed bought a pouch to replace the one he is using now.. at Parkson, I intended to buy trouser for office wear but I was disappointed that most shops do not have size 42" which kinda weird because this does not happened to me if I shop at SOGO. In the end, its only Ed who bought a Charles Jourdan dark purple shirt.

Having snack at Glitters before entering the cinema...

What is my review on How To Train Your Dragon? a marvelous story, the best animation movie so far for me this year.. except for the weird Scottish accent, the rest of the movie is magical. The story line, the beautiful animation (more vividly in 3D), the message, (bash first and ask question later) all in all creates a feel good feeling long after the show was over. Bear in mind, though its an animation, the consequence of heroism and price to pay for proving the truth can be dire and real, making this movie a special one.. My all time favourite animation movies so far are, The Little Mermaid, Beauty And The Beast and the best of all is off course, Lion King. With HTTYD, I don't mind watching this movie again..

I love this movie.. some critic compare this movie to ET.. No can do, ET is my greatest movie of all time, period

Indeed it was a tiring weekend...but still an enjoyable one...
