bits and thursday pieces

I bought cheese. As I was paying for it at the counter, I spotted a cheap ass toy which I thought would be nice for Ryan. It was a plastic sword, one of those real flimsy, made in China type. Keywords: cheap, toy.

He loved it.

This morning on GTalk:

Ryan’s mom: The sword is a BAD idea
Me: What happened?
Ryan’s mom: Hit my face with the sharp end. He’s now nursing 3 welts on his arm and leg. That’s not for poking me. That’s for hitting the maid 3 times so I hit him 3 times.

Whoops. Sorry.

I (finally) found out why the difference between the album version of “I’m Yours” and the one I’ve had for so long. I like the latter more; clean, simple and unpretentious as it is, no need for complications as the lyrics and tune more than bring the poetry to life.

A couple of photos I took when I was back in Sri Gading, BP a couple weeks ago. They don’t mean anything, I guess; you’ll have to be there to appreciate the whole picture.

My Woopra account has been approved. Yay! Then as I tried to log on to the desktop software, it says that servers are down for maintenance. Figures.

I am not going to say who, I am not going to say what. But I was at a couple of places not too long ago, and for various reasons mostly to do with personnel, they didn’t leave me wanting more. Great shame because they had so much potential. Can’t say that it’s a total waste of my time though, as I went home equipped with new knowledge (on how not to … ).

Potong stim, I know.

Watched Hancock courtesy of Nuffnang on Monday night. Terima kasih sekian banyak.

I think there’s no more stones unturned when it comes to Will Smith’s acting. Same can be said for Tom Cruise. Once you’ve watched enough movies starring the two of them, you know what each facial expression means, and you can even predict how they would react for this or that situation. For example, when Will Smith’s character was at a sharing session, his lips pouted defiantly when it came to his turn. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN SIMILAR SITUATIONS I TELL YOU! No mystery left lah.

Admittedly Hancock is not The English Patient. Hmm.. okay, bad example. Well, insert title of a movie that has more hidden meanings than you’d care for here. It was meant to be an entertaining summer flick, and for that it did the job well.

I want to watch Hellboy2! And Sepi! And The Mummy 3!

    You should put Mamma Mia! on your list as well …. if not for anything then at least to see Mr Bond singing and dancing to an Abba song. Then there’s the Batman next week too :D
