Tapping feet too

As a kid, parents called me a penguin for liking to walk like one. I’m not sure why myself but I think it was because I was mimicking Charlie Chaplin. And if you didn’t know who’s he, you can go jump off a cliff now. Seriously.

Rowan Atkinson's role model

Okay. So talking about penguins, last night I watched Happy Feet 2 with Ariel and her learning Japanese classmates. Their teacher has been only in Malaysia for less than 6 months so as hospitable Malaysians, we’ve made it our conquest to show her around including the cinema here. :P

So how was Happy Feet 2?!

Right, coming back to Happy Feet 2. The first movie was about Mumble finding himself and returning with his identity. This continuation still focuses on Mumble, but from a fatherly figure.

And in this second movie, they’ve introduced side characters to the story. I suppose it’s to fill in for the gaps of not really focusing on Mumble’s kid. Then again, you’d want to just keep watching the little furball and want to squeeze the life out of him cause he so cute!!! ;)

Overall, it was entertaining for a family movie. It’s a movie kids should learn to appreciate from the moral lessons in it.

What was the recent movie you watched?

Cool Ikea parents

We made a trip to Ikea today because we’ve been always thinking of getting a full-length mirror for our room but never got to do so. Thanks to one of my BNI members in real estate, I had this chance to use the gift card awarded to me – save money too. :)

Funny moment while we were there having lunch. Family’s kid sitting beside us came to the table, telling his Dad, some rude kid touched his butt. ROFL! I kid you not. He then was telling the parents how gay was the kid, while his parents were joking with him on how attractive his butt may have been. Lol! Kudos to the parents for being really cool.

When night came, we had a family dinner to celebrate my Dad’s coming birthday at Jake’s Charbroil Grill. They were having a steak promotion for US Kobe beef, Wagyu and Black Angus. I’ve never had a Black Angus so I decided to give it a taste – wasn’t too bad but think it was a little tough cause the thickness wasn’t ideal.

Though Jake’s charbroil in Bangsar isn’t an ideal restaurant for family photography, I managed to squeeze this much of creativity out.

Ariel helped take this

The balloon was given to the birthday boy (my Dad, not me) including a mug. As much as I really appreciate the restaurants celebrating the joyous occasion with them singing, but do they have to be that out of tune?!

Restaurants who’d like to perform this act should consider tuning themselves, or at least, keep it simple and fun like what TGIF does. That way, it’ll be harder to be out of tune and it’ll still keep it fun.

Anyway, happy birthday Dad, and I’m looking to many many many more with you. :)

If I didn’t have

The Girlfriend

It would feel very weird. Like there’s something missing in my life. As much as freedom is a guy’s most valuable asset, it would grow on you to realize there’s an emptiness. One of those emptiness is someone I could hold, hug, kiss and hold hands with fingers clasped. Excluding you get pissed drunk and come back with a lady every other night, that is.

The Car

Running a website design company would be very difficult. And, expensive. Our affordable rail network only connects so far right now. Plus, cabbies here ain’t exactly respecting the sticker; ‘no haggling is allowed’, despite it stuck on their doors. Plus, I guess the computer gets lumped in here too since it’s a tool for business.

Friends

I’d seriously not know where I’d be. My friends have taught me through my life. I went through being a smoker, clubber and other experience to be who I am today. Without them, I could’ve imagine myself becoming a computer addict. Stuck on the computer 365 days a year and possibly on it 24/7. Brrr.

Family

Although my parents and me don’t have as many family discussions anymore, I know there’s still love. And you can’t avoid the fact, they’re your parents and siblings. They nourished and brought you up. As for me, I’ve been very lucky to have a life I wished. Instead of taking up the opportunity to study website design in the US (right after my last SPM paper), I told my parents I wanted to spend more time here with them. Crazy, right?

Money

And who’re we kidding. You can’t survive in this world without the currency. You may not need a ton to survive, but you still need that much to live. Some would agree, without money, you’d not have any of the above. As sad as it sounds, the currency is so powerful it affects you physically and mentally.

Life

I think if I didn’t have any of the above, my life would be a huge burden to the world. It would be like living my life with a lie. A lie of which I comfort myself everyday saying, “it’s okay”. While your sub-conscience tortures you in return asking, “are you sure?”

Thank you to everyone who’s been there for me. The girlfriend, friends, family and all objects trivial as we continue to live in this world.
