Banoffee Pie!

So I went for dinner with Maria, her boyrfriend (sorry I don’t know how to spell his name, is it with a v?), and Veno at Bangsar Village… it’s basically pretty new… few years… never heard or seen till yesterday… and we had dinner at “Delicious” by Mrs. Reid… I had the curry laksa and it was not bad… could have been more spicy… Then it came time for dessert… Maria had her eye on the banoffee pie and was pretty sure there was one left… however when we ordered… the waiter told us that some one had already taken the last one… It was hysterical… Maria asked if the chef could make another one but they said it was made in the other restaurant in One Utama… so we made a decision… I’m not too sure who’s idea it was but I was definitely the one who encouraged it… we cancelled our orders for dessert… paid the bill and drove to the restaurant in OU… when we got there Maria sent her boyfriend to go straight to get the banoffee pie while we parked the car… it took quite some time due to some stupid Taxi drivers getting in the way but we got there… and it was a lucky thing she sent him ahead because her banoffee pie was the last one… yes the very last one… man oh man… that girl loves her banoffee pies… I have to say it was definitely a fun dinner… loads of laughter… Next the mango-thingi in SS2!!!

Adios Espana…

Well Spain’s out of the World Cup… As I watched my boys taking a humiliating defeat from the French… my heart broke… I was really hoping they could finally break their losing streak against the French… For those of you who didn’t know… The Spaniards have never beaten the French in any World Cup finals… And I’m pretty sure my first choice… ENGLAND… will be out soon… Well the ould still win against Portugal but the English boys are just so inconsistant and with the way they’ve been playing these days it’s hard to tell where they are going… And my alternative… DEUTSCHLAND… are facing Argentina… my least favourite team… no offence… I don’t hate them… just not a fan… Anyway… GO DEUTSCHLAND (for Helen)… But can anyone stop the mighty mighty Brazilians?!?!?! I mean… sure I love to watch them play… who doesn’t… but it’s just like Michael Schumacher winning all the time… boring… we need something exciting and out of the blue… you know… like how Korea made it to the semis the last world cup… the only underdog left is probably Ukraine… a shame Shevchenko hasn’t been at his absolute best… all my favourite players are getting old… But yeah… we want to see a shocker!!! Or at least I do…

Relativity Of Time

You know Einstein’s theory of relativity?! Well… even though it has never been proven… I’m pretty sure all of us have felt it… So I’ve been back home for 4 days now… it still feels kinda weird probably due to me not being here for all the changes… but you know it’s even weirder because when I was in Melbourne it felt like time passed extremely quickly and the whole semester happened in the blink of an eye… however after coming back home… time seems to past quickly as well but it feels like I’ve been away for a long long time… all relative how much I enjoy spending the time… Haven’t had much to do sine I got back besides watch the World Cup, watch some Korean series and updating my blog… which is now basically a World Cup report blog rather than my usual movie review blog… It’s been a long time since I wrote something interesting… I’ve really got to start thinking about something interesting to talk about… any suggestions?? Leave a message in the shoutbox… Bis später…
