Iron man

Sniff... Thanks Lily and Jan for your great supports, i am so touched. I apologize for not blogging that often, i am not a free man who can earn money through blogging.

Anyway, get back to main point here. I believe that the term "Iron man" is pretty much familiar to you all by now. Hopefully, there will not be anyone commenting on my blog saying this movie sucks because that would be completely wrong and very offensive to all of big red metal's fans.

Another blast after the Transformer success? The answer is very likely due to the fact that every guy and girl nowadays is so fond of tech stuff and that includes me as well. Just imagine daily tasks becomes so easy, getting back from school and vice versa is just another second away and no big bullies in the street could do anything to you. Man... thinking of that, i wish i had one suit just like Tony Stark's.

Few things i would like to point out after watching the movie though. The degree of realistic in the movie seems low, with all that big rockets under the feet flying over those cars could have melted everything beneath and yet they still stood strong and solid, not to mention shiny!!! Second thing, owning one suit just like that would probably cost you another few millions just for the automatic robotic hands to assemble the suit for you. And i did not mention about maintenance costs. Or you could spend hours wearing the whole darn thing and hours to take it off.

Last words, it is a good movie and a must watch, can't wait for the Dvdrip version to come out online.

Rush hour

It's been a while i have not posted anything up here. Rush hour sounds cool for a post's name. Unfortunately, you will not find no Jackie Chan or Chris Tucker but only Rick Hoang in this case. Memorize it people, you never know i might work my way to the big screen someday and whoever possesses my blog earns million bucks.

College occupies most of my time, with all the assignments and workloads i receive every week, the term "work like dog" would be a compliment. Currently, i have project which requires me to work in team of 5. I am glad enough that all my team members are very committing to their work and honestly, i admire all of them for their talents. I have been assigned a task called Webmaster which the meaning of it is just like how it sounds. For those who do not know anything about web or computing terms then i do you all favor, it is about me being a master of a web ;). Yes, i meant you Jan and Lily. I cannot believe there was once people asked me the meaning of this word. My role in the team is fun, exciting and sometimes i find it challenging as well. With all the committing members, my tasks become so much easier. As long as the road ahead is, i believe that i will do fine.

I have not been out recently due to my driver Andrew has disappeared for almost 3 weeks. I guess i just leave him alone for a while. I congrats him on his new job though . Hope that he earns good money to throw out something like a bachelor party which i find it rare around here. Sigh, the old glory time....

Meanwhile, allow me to get back to my old favorite movie I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry and my most favorite quote " Group hug in the shower tonight " weeeeeeee!!! Don't take me wrong, i'm not a gay who watches a gay movie. If i were gay, god knows what would happen to the world. Let's just say i love American comedy movies. Yeah yeah i know i said i was busy but can't a decent guy earn his once in a while peaceful time watching his favorite gay movie for a change? Besides, he's not even gay...sigh (Drew if you are reading, come and watch with me, i miss your company man...).

TGI Friday's

What if i told you that i had a driver who would love to pick me up and drive me around KL? It is actually true in this case. Last Sunday was a fun day filled with gunshots and grenade launchers. It does ring a bell, doesn't it? My sidekick Andrew whom you probably know very well from my previous post, did a good deed by taking the whole gang of IT students including me to TBun (internet cyber cafe) which is located in Damansara. The name sounds so cute that i could not stop saying I LOVE MALAYSIA with an exciting tone. The game we played was called The Call of Duty 4, a successful version of the series Call of Duty.

After a full 5 hours of playing non stop, we decided to call it a day since everyone started to see stars flying around. Me myself was fine but pissed due to bad gaming experience with some guy who thought he was tough. Drew took the whole gang home and planned to say bye but then we insisted to follow and ended up in restaurant which also happens to be my favorite place for Spaghetti. Man! The food was excellent that i cannot stop wanting to go there again next time. So far, that is the only place i somehow enjoyed the food in KL. Sigh! What a life...

As Drew happens to an energetic guy and bit of abnormal at times, offered to drive us around KL and we ended up visiting the Curve shopping center. Now i give it 10 for infrastructure since people here really know how to build and design. Jonsen and Leo as usual were quiet and left us talking non stop to each other in front.

TGI Friday was the last place we visited. The drink was fine, due to the practical sense of living style, i took a refillable drink so that i could keep adding on later just for the sake of saving some bucks. The place was nice and famous not in Malaysia but Australia too. Unfortunately, i did not really know much about it until today. Sigh, what was i doing back there anyway? Lol i guess that better be left untold again. One thing i know, i was not doing something totally boring.

This post is dedicated to Andrew, my sidekick, for being such a nice friend and also for his entertaining blog which is mainly about me. For some reasons, i do not feel like it at all after reading even though i look decent in the pictures.

Shogun 2008

Another week has passed and only one word can describe it: "Chill". It is so chilling that i hardly remember what i did during the week because it seems so repeating to me.

My buddy Drew decided to give me a call today and offered a get together dinner with Hanh, another fun character. We surely had fun since the place they picked happens to be my favorite place, Shogun restaurant. A restaurant which serves Japanese buffet at the best giving out price that you can get for having Japanese food. As usual, the food is irresistible that me and Drew decided to go for 7th serve and we only made it at the 6th serve. Hanh, as usual, was having a bad tactic of having buffet and gave up at the 5th serve. Anyway, i gave her an applaud for her effort since she is quite petit to be eating that much.



Drew is still looking stone and hilarious as always. He claimed once to be a withdrawn type of person. Yeah right!!!! On the other hand, Hanh surely is acting cute in this picture and blur as usual. Sigh! I appreciate these characters since they made me have a good time with their fun jokes. I know i know, no one is perfect.



Handsome, sexy, desirable, irresistible... yawn yawn. At least, that's what he claimed.



So much for a nice guy...Sigh!

Vacation in Vietnam Pt2

Previous post of this topic was not described enough my time i spent in Vietnam since it is not just about going somewhere new but meeting new people. I got the chance to meet some of my dad's old friends. My dad has a habit of taking me around with him whenever i am there and to some certain places, better left untold. Anyway, one thing i learn from meeting them is that people stay in different countries have a different social way of interacting to each other and by just talking to them, i feel equal and open to share things which i have never had such experience talking to my own people.

The invisible force of tradition has been around us for centuries and the age gap is something that we Asians seriously consider in the daily conversations. However, such thing does not exist or somehow does not really matter in the Western countries namely USA. How do you tell a person's age? By talking to them and judge how old that person is or the way that person behaves maturely or not? So then we cannot really define rudeness since talking back is considered rude in Asian countries but encouraged in Western countries. Now that is something for a change.

I had good times there and meeting my dad's friends is one of those times. Even though, it was only for a short time but somehow, we have developed an invisible bond and to me i am really looking forward to seeing them again.

Features of this site

After playing around with the amazing tools that Blogspot has, i have finally done most of the features that a blogger must have. Like i said in the previous post, Yahoo really sucks at giving out this kind of freedom for the bloggers.

The main template obviously was not done by me! I took it from a website then implemented it into this site, still certain knowledge about HTML is required though. The name of it is Hobbit, as you can see the picture on top is about the Hobbit's village. The old man in the picture is no doubt Gandalf the Grey who later in the movie is known as Gandalf the White. For those who have not seen the The lord of the rings, please do yourself a favor by getting the trilogy set of this movie and watch.

The music box at the bottom is just an extra stuff that i put in with the hope of improving the blogging experience for the readers as well as myself. Feel free to request songs from me if you do not know how to get the songs or the songs you like are not around and hard to get. Who knows? I might just be able to get those for you.

Google ads is another unnecessary tool that i added in. Love me by clicking the ads, i hope when i turn 70, they might just send me 1 million USD for all the years advertising for them. Wild dream but it is possible.

Chat box is for you to leave me message and wish others to read as well. This can be considered as leaving comment so please at least try to type in something if you feel lazy to leave comment in my posts. Stuff like I LOVE YOU RICK! is enough. Man! I will be like sleepless for weeks. Hopefully, not from a guy though.

Vacation in Vietnam

Sigh! After a while suferring with yahoo 360 blog, i have decided to switch to a new and next generation blogging experience that blogspot can offer to the users.

Came back from a long holiday in Vietnam, spending time with family, making new friends has taught me something about value of life. I learn how to treasure every single minute i spent there.



Amazing how humans can be turned into something they are not by just holding the guitar. This snapshot sure is a legend to all of you who want to change your major later on.



Definitely we look attractive by just showing how stoned we were. Luckily for me, sun glasses came in handy.
