Went to Hard Rock Hotel the other night with family.. i did enjoy the Batu Ferringhi Night Market part, but the Hard Rock Hotel part? Hmm.. not really... To Hard Rock Hotel, i would say: good work guys, for the advertising and concept, it has been the talk of the town for its grand opening (or even way back before it even open its door for business).. At some point, it does make me feel that they over-advertised because there is basically nothing so special about the hotel except for its concept and the brand itself(you'll know what i mean if you visited the hotel)..

I have to admit, i was pretty excited before stepping in the hotel.. the "Hard Rock Hotel" logo, the "Hard Rock Cafe" logo and the Micheal Jackson statue was just overwhelming for all those 1st-time visitors and Hard Rock fans.. the term "Hard Rock" isn't just an ordinary term, but a well-known term recognisable all around the world, i'll bet everyone has seen printed tees of Hard Rock Cafe from all around the world, and now, we have our very own here, in Penanag, thats what i call an adrenaline-pumper..

10mins of walking around the hotel and you'll realise you are back at the starting point (it was dark and i didn't visit the hotel's beach), but that was pretty much everything that hotel can offer.. The problem of advertising is, if you advertise something in such scale (in the case of Hard Rock Hotel), people will be expecting something that is more eye-popping, breathe-taking and mind-blowing, and not just an ordinary hotel with 3 concept shops, a pool, a couple of restaurants and pubs and a kid-care-taking centre (that was all i saw).. Kinda dissapointed for that.. my verdict? 2/5

Handwritings

Match those handwritings (hint: dad, mum, sis and me)

Was in Old Town last Saturday for lunch.. Dad decided to try out his new ball pen while waiting for the food to be served.. He wrote an address (not ours, so forget about sending love letters there XP ), and soon, everyone passed on to each other and it quickly became a handwriting competition.. Guess who won.. XD

Its 12pm, swimming? Anyone?

Had finish thanking B and G, should be Z's turn now.. it was a clear and beautiful friday morning.. the sun was shining and birds were chirping(ok, will cut the crap >.< ), Z asked me down to my house's/flat/apartment/condo/penthouse/resort/hotel (whatever you call it) pool for a swim.. Since the sunlight wasn't too strong, i thought it was good to have some exercise to kick start my day so i agreed to it.. we hit the pool around 11.30am, B and G arrived later (the 2 chickened out and didn't swim)..

I swam, but spent most of the time talking with friends >.<>.< thx Z again, for jio-ing me for a swim on that flesh-burning afternoon.. lol... why didn't he kena huh? he tanned abit too what... not fair lah...

The eSupper..

What the hell is 'eSupper'? if you were guessing that i ordered my supper via the net or whatsoever, then i'll have to say "good try, but wrong".. in fact, i had my supper in a mamak shop with my friends.. and what is it to do with the prefix 'e'? well, 'e' doesn't stand for 'electronic' here but 'emo'.. and you should be asking, how can a supper be emo? is it me and my friends hugging each together to cry? er.. the answer is 'wrong' again..

Ok, i'll stop beating around the bush... there are only a few reasons a guy will turn emo.. one of it is the financial problem, which we, students don't really have.. the other is clear, the BGR problem.. so called 'boy-girl relationship' problem.. not me, but my friend(s).. then you'll be asking, why was i emo too? well, i did something stupid, very stupid indeed.. (don't bother asking, i'll never tell )

The relationship problem led me to a question.. "If there is a girl in mind that barely notices me, should i wait?" *note the 'IF'* Maybe giving up isn't a bad option after all... *sigh*

Xjun's Wishlist 2009

Do allow me to present you my top 6 most desired items of the year 2009.. haha.. just for fun.. =]

6. Dell M17x Alienware (full spec) - This monster is the most powerful computer Dell ever produced. Built in Core 2 Extreme and capable of delivering a clock speed of up to 2.53GHz, perfect for hi-def gaming and processing-power intensive programs. Well, the price tag will definitely burn a big hole in your pocket, might even burn your pants into ashes, but, will sure be cool to carry one of this around. =]


5. Tag Heuer Calibre S Chronograph - Don't really know how much this baby cost. But i'm sure the price won't differ much from the laptop above.. haha.. this timepiece will definitely boost your image in the public and a guy's image is like a power supply to every electrical appliance, which keeps you going on and on.. The design, a little complex yet retains some sense of simplicity.. well, its in the 5th placing mainly of its price..








4. Hugo Boss 0103/u glasses - Well, i bought my Ray Ban barely 3months ago, but i don't mind having an extra pair of glasses.. haha.. well, i saw this glasses while buying the Ray Ban but the price was just way out of budget and i have to forget about it... -.- Dude, you better hide in the corner of the shelf and don't let others get you, i promise to take you home once i can afford =.=


3. Calvin Klein Eternity For Men - Yeah, i need my own fragrance, so sick of sharing with my dad his Ralph Lauren -.- Yea, i tried CK Eternity before, and i likey it very much =] =] well, i don't think the smell is a bit too mature for me as said by some of my friends.. the scent is right at its optimum strength where it isn't too strong nor too mild.. its like 250bucks for a 100ml fragrance (if i wasn't wrong).. lol



2. Lacoste Shoes - A Lacoste shoe will definitely make me a happy guy for the rest of the day, haha.. Bought my 1st All Star more recently than my glasses, but an extra pair of shoes will sure varietise my clothing options.. haha.. its not as i'm out of space to store my shoes XD





1. GAP Hoodie - The thing i need now!!!!! I'm so short of hoodies now... lol... Wanna know why i chose GAP instead of other brands like Giordano or Nike? Well.. i like the "GAP" wording printed in front of the jacket XD Well, the hoodie is what i NEED now, the others mentioned above were just luxurious items, haha.. So, dad, if you so happen to read through my blog... haha... i think you'll know what to do XP

Really tired day indeed

Was thinking of hitting the pool for a swim today.. but just before the moment i had yet to make up my mind, buddies called and asked me out for a game of badminton.. and hell yeah, i haven't even recovered from the previous badminton session with david, demi, juey, wayne, kim, amber, brendon, ben, gene and don.. ermm.. recovering from the muscle pain i mean.. the truth is, i haven't been playing badminton since primary -.- and ouch, my biceps is still hurting, especially for the right bicep.. i can now feel some numbness at my fingertips.. wth..

orh.. and after the badminton session, we went to sunshine, bought a 1.5L 100plus and i managed to finish 75% of it before reaching home.. now you can see how badly dehydrated was i.. and my friends too.. G finished 83.437347% of his soya milk, but i still win, his soya milk was in a 1L packet.. lol.. ~cold~

had fun today.. but was totally used up.. and i somehow managed to only get a 2-hour sleep the night before.. tomorrow better be a better day.. im sick of all the muscle pains and spinning around with all those complicated stuff, leaving me wondering about this and that all the time...

for now, its a bye bye and before i forget... thanks 100plus, you saved my life today and to show my appreciation, i'll post a photo of you (advertisement fee free). =]
