Quick random rants

I’m proud to say that I have not yet succummed to any hotel buka puasa buffet tempations this year (yet). For RM100, I would rather make a homemade lamb stew and eat the same fucking thing seven days straight.
I can’t believe how much the level of cekik-darah has increased this year. At the one in Kelana Jaya, RM4 will get you a tiny spoonful of Daging Masak Lemak, and RM3 will get you approximately enam ketul kupang. I have vowed to never ever buy any lauk at the Kelana Jaya pasar ramadan. Ever.
I can’t believe people would actually go to extreme extents of queueing up for an hour just to get a Roti John at the Pasar Ramadan in Shah Alam. It picqued my interest, so I tried to see what the fuss was all about today. I queued for about 45 minutes before actually getting to the front of the line. It was good, but it was NOT all that. And certainly not worth collapsing while queuieng (true story, no shit.. saw it with my own eyes today.. bloody crazy). I have come to the conclusion that the ONLY food worth queueing up for is Krispy Kremes. When the bloody fark are they coming to KL?
Since I moved to Shah Alam, I am pretty sure the most common phrase to have escaped from my mouth is “Fucking student drivers”. But I suppose that’s pretty unfair of me since 95% of these drivers are blind (they must be, since they were pretty oblivious to my extended middle finger)
I found myself watching ntv7’s Frontpage (after the IN-YO-FACE adverts by The Star newspaper) after I made a promise never to watch the channel again till they bring back Survivor. Surprisingly, it’s one of the locally made tv shows that don’t suck as much. Some constructive criticism? I would like to see a little more tact between the feuding alpha males on the show. Ni macam budak sekolah menengah nak bertumbuk. Sheesh.
Speaking of locally made tv shows, whoever that’s involved with the show on Astro Ria called Bawah Ketiak Isteri or something should hang themselves, especially the make up artists (bitch please, my tranny friends have better wig kejongs than the ones on this idiotic show). And the constant zooming in and out is just stupid and annoying. Kill yourselves.
While we’re on Astro Ria, I’m actually enjoying the retarded show called Bolos. We’re that one step away from getting our own Istana Takeshi. Ah glory days.
I might be able to watch tonight’s TARA3 episode 2 show after all. So far, I think this might be a good season to watch after all since there are no camera hogging twits this time around.
Survivor and Supernatural are starting this week (okay, that wasn’t a rant)
I’m giving HBO’s True Blood a try.. but two episodes in, I think they’re more Point Pleasant than they are of any HBO-standard dramas (in other words, pretty shit). I’ll give it two more episodes before giving up on it completely.
I sorta enjoyed the first three eipisodes of the new 90210 show, except the main girl can get so annoyingly perky sometimes. Tone it down a little, goody two shoes bitch. I kinda like the girl who’s playing Kelly’s sister (who’s also in Reaper, I believe).. she reminds me of a younger and prettier Sporty Spice
If you’re gonna get an LCD TV, invest in a good DVD player that has DIVx capabilities. Because in case you don’t already know.. Astro’s signals are analogue, which means you will get blurred images (even more so if you have LCDs more than 42″). DVD sources are excellent though. Even normal 350Mb tv episodes you torrent would look great on a 37″. Srsly. In additiona to that, you get to watch the show as it’s meant to be seen (in 16:9 aspect ratio, which will fill up the screen in perfect proportions)
I’m catching up on The Tudors, and have come to the conclusion that Henry VIII is a honry bastard. But I love the show. Also catching up on Psych. It still wonders me why not more people are into this funny show.
urgh… 4 more hours till my shift is over.
.. but at least i don’t have to look at the bitch’s face all week this week. There’s this woman at work right, who keeps the most sourish looking face ever. I mean, okay la.. you dowan to smile dont smile la… but i dunno why.. a couple of weeks ago, she gave me the dirtiest look ever. what the fuck did i ever do to you, biatch? Kalau muka tu nak frown all the time, baik tak payah ada muka, you cucking funt.

Dude, you’re living in Shah Alam now? Which section? We should meet up man…

You have my sympathies. Traffic in the Klang Valley is becoming worse. I say give us five years and we’ll be the new Bangkok.

There’s no escape, though, if you want to avoid the highways. It’s die of frustration on the road or die of suffocation in the Komuter trains.

Happy days are here again, darlings…

Gallivanter : Yeah I’m in Section 7. My “study” room is overlooking directly into UITM’s Mawar Hostel. Oops have I said too much?

Mrs G : yeah.. I’m so thanking my lucky stars now that I’m working in Cyberjaya. No more daily commutes to KLCC at 6am in the mornings to avoid the sardined LRTs
