Xtremely Awesome

So peeps, I'm not quite a car guy, but with not much to do this past Sunday, I made my way to the International Xtreme Autoshow at Stadium Putra in Bukit Jalil. And it was quite an awesome experience.

All sorts of modified cars were there with all sorts of gadgets, bodypaint and um, other stuff stuck to the machines. I would rather spend my money on food and travel, but hey, whatever float their boat, man... Anyway, enjoy the pics and video!

Start Spreading The News - New York, New York Deli SUCKS!!!!!!!

So I was at One Utama just moments ago and was delighted to see this new eating place - New York, New York Deli. Whopee! Being a big fan of hotdogs and burgers, I took a seat and ordered Root Beer float and some NY orginal hotdog.

The drink came fast and tastes like any other root beer float.
...



Then I waited. And waited. And waited. And waited.

After 30 minutes, no hot dog. So I called the waiter and said: "Can you check on my order please?" And guess what? He didn't understand a word I was saying. Imagine that, English not being understood at a New York deli.

Anyway, I did some sign language and he finally got me and went to check on my food.

But still, I waited. And waited. And waited. And oh, the people behind me who themselves were complaining about the lambat-ness already got their burgers.

At the 55min mark, I finally got up and went to the cashier to cancel my order and pay for my float. I complained to the dude but the bugger didn't really seem to care.

Only this other guy offered some "I'm sorry sir".

So now I'm back at the office having NOT had my lunch. I'm hungry and grumpy. Macam sial je New York, New York Deli.

What's Up With The Pout 'O' Doom???

So apparently I never got the memo. The one that said to exist (or be popular) in the web 2.0 universe, you have to deploy the Pout 'O' Doom.

What am I on about? Well, just check out the pics of your facebook or friendster friends/enemies. I'm sure in most of their photos, they pretty much look like this...

(sorry Miya! nanti bos belanja something)

And there's nothing spontaneous or candid about it. The Pout 'O' Doom is 99% posed. And that's a good thing these days. I've tried looking for answers as to why this is so, but have failed to find one.

But I AM jumping on the badwagon. Hey, if that's what people want, I have no choice but to give it to them...
