What's the biggest obstacle you've had to overcome within the last 24 hours?
Submitted by ILoveYouMr.Dragon.
the obstacle to become no.1!
synopsis: last nite a futsal tournament was organised by collegues. 6 fake teams were formed: Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Manchester United.
I was kicked into Alex Ferguson's team.
7 games and a bucket of sweat later (5 league,1 semi,1 final) we were the lame champions!

This post is about how i waste my time when i went back to the old country for a week off earlier this month. What i am trying to tell you is i will bored you to death with this super cheesy titled post. so here it goes....
Most of the time was spent rebonding with my favourite people in the world (...and the award goes to the 5 nieces and 4 nephews), and the least favourite part: spending a weekend (approximately 30+ hours of suffering) catching up with old associates and nemesis alike for some long overdue hi-5vers.
and unfortunately, on that fateful weekend a game of futsal friendly was organised by my former classmates (aka a lame excuse for a mini reunion), and at the end of the match it is safe to say that our opponent was not harmed...maybe due to some cantilevered bellies and/or weak bones since most of us will hit 60 soon
Aftermath? the best part of the day. the part i miss the most when i'm abroad. The secret of every healthy malaysian: daily dosage of latenite supper at the mamak chit-chatting cock and bullstraight after gol & gincu mamak: amir, scott and me blasted off jalan-jalan to Penang
Meet-up with Joen, Idora and Miss Aina that morning. We rode a big steel junkyard that ferries vehicles and innocent people to the island.
They call em ferry.,,then had brunch at a place that does not serve curry next on the agenda were Penang Hill and Feringgi. I'll let the piccas do the writing
a short but fulfilling road trip indeed
Thanx to Amir, Scott, Joeneng, Idora and Miss Aina for your all around RAD-ness

btw, did i tell you earlier in the post that i will bored you to death?
Earlier this week at the Cannes Film Festival, World War II epic Inglorious Bastards was screened. Reviews almost immediately start to pop up, some coming down hard on it and others praising it to high heavens (read what the critics have to say here)
So what makes the film so special? Well, it's a Quentin Tarantino's flick...and i'm a sucker for his work (Pulp Fiction & Reservoir Dogs are filmsy-xtraordinaire in my top 10)this is so sad...one of the leading new voice of hardcore, Boston-based HAVE HEART (which happen to be my favourite HC band at the moment) announced their break-up yesterday following their current world tour...
and to rub salt to the wound, they are scheduled to PERFORM AT KUALA LUMPUR's MCPA Theatre tomorrow!...I was in KL last week, if i knew this earlier no doubt i will xtend my stay to see em for the first and last time:(
with top notch hardcore masterpieces in 2006's The Things We Carry and 2008's Song To Scream At The Sun (still in my Pod heavy rotation), HH certainly quitting the game on a highwatch a 30 minute clip of them performing:
-Armed with a mind
-The machinists
-Life is hard enough
-Us fools
-Something more than ink
-About face
-The Unbreakable
-Watch me ri

The band was inducted by Red Hot Chilli Peppers's Flea, who recalled "the first time I heard Metallica, in 1984 while on tour with the Peppers. It was 3 in the morning, we were tired, crammed into a van and sick of being on the road, and this music comes on the radio, and I couldn't believe that it f**king existed. I didn't know what it was; the only thing I knew for sure was that it was a mighty thing," he said of "Fight Fire with Fire", the opener to 1984 classic Ride The Lightning watch opening acceptance speech by cliff burton's dad Ray, followed by thoughts from all the band members preceeded by a live performance of 'Master of Puppets' and 'Enter Sandman' (first time ever Metallica played as a 5-piece, with current and former bassist rob and jason onstage).Metallica also led a 'surprise jam' to end the nite with RCHP's Flea, Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page, Aerosmith's Joe Perry and Jeff Beck (watch clip below)
