Summary

What should I summarise from the past 1 month?

Let's see...

• Went bowling with Rizal, Wan, Am, Leo, Lee, Epul and Heri at Times Square. Won 1-2 games, I got lucky again as most hold back and didn't play their usual game.
• Raya was okay. Same old routine almost everyday, the excellent soto kambing at Long Ail's, the yummy lontong at Anjang Ecah's, the brilliant nasi serai and nasi tomato at Chu Mang's. Mum needed help with the house, it's infested with termites and the owner didn't seem to want to do anything.
• Finished the report and presented my findings 2 weeks ago, and got accepted.
• Found a cool place to eat near my house named Tasik Idaman. Located next to a lake, they have open air karaoke (which I'd never do) and pretty okay food.
• Checked out different food outlets, most of the time with Wan. Tupai2 with Wan. Al-Rausyah with Wan and Hardzrul. RM2-per-plate Sushi King@Alamanda with Zahid, Hisham and Heri. Then once more at Sooka with Wan, Hardzrul and Sharul.
• Oh! And me and 2 colleagues had a large deep fried snapper in dried chili, 6 grilled squids, seafood tomyam, and 'kailan ikan masin' at Kuala Perlis, all for RM53. Should've stayed at Putra Brasmana, instead of the crappy Putra Palace in Kangar.
• Got 194 in bowling, played at Alamanda with Heri, Hisham Zahid. My highest score ever.
• Won 12x (half of it against Wan) in Marvel vs Capcom 2. The game's almost 10yrs old, but still a lot of fun. My chosen characters are Strider Hiryu, Guile and Sabretooth. Waiting to see if Street Fighter 4 ever comes down. Yea, the game appeared 20yrs ago when I was studying for my SRP, and I always sneaked out to play a few rounds at Kompleks Yik Foong, Ipoh back then.
  
• 2 colleagues get to go to Paris, France and Istanbul, Turkey for technical visits, and they didn't want to go. And I can't replace them because I had my Johannesburg trip. Warghhh!!! There go the Louvre, Paris Fashion Week, and Da Vinci Code trip. And there go also the Blue Mosque, the Turkish bath and hand-woven carpets.
• Am thinking of getting a new phone, but not anytime soon as I've got other commitments. Possible considerations: N71 the supposedly blackberry killer, but too many already got that; Apple iPhone, but costs RM2.5k for a 3G 16Gig version, or I could just get myself an HTC GPS phone since I'll be heading north a few times and might have to drive myself, but most of them are GPS-assisted and require 3G connection, which means I'm f**ked anyways up north. What to do? Get meself a cheapo Nokia and then get a cheap Garmin Nuvi GPS 200 instead?
