I was on the flight from Tawau to Kota Kinabalu, and this was during Chinese New Year break, like a month ago. The flight was not really full coz it was still Saturday and many people are planning to go back on Sunday. I was sitting alone on the 3th or 4th row at back of the flight, I can’t really remember where but there are still people sitting behind me. Sitting 2 rows in front of me were this 3 ‘Mat Saleh’ people, Caucasian I think, maybe Aussie or American, can’t really tell. After we landed safely at Kota Kinabalu airport, I was like stretching my body and yawning big wide open while saying ‘Allahhuakbar’, which is a phrase that Muslims use to praise the One God, and I’ve been using it since high school to avoid saying stupid things like ‘oh pocot, mak kau’ or ‘shxx, motherfxxxker’. Living in majority Muslim country, most Sabahan or local passengers didn’t really care what I had just said. But the 3 westerners in front of me were immediately; I mean like in a second, turn their heads and look at me in shock. I also surprised seeing their pale white faces with an open mouth looking at me like I’m a criminal or doing something wrong here. Here I am, sitting alone near the rear window, wearing a simple hijab, t-shirt and jeans, and I just said ‘Allahhuakbar’…. Do I looked like a terrorist ??? I guess not, coz they were looking at each other after that and start laughing out loud. I still don’t get it and so do the rest of the passengers, but after putting all the pieces together I was like, oh…. They thought I was gonna blow up the plane…WHAT!!!

Jumper
I just watched Jumper last night and it’s really disappointed me. If you already watch it, I bet you brain full of question mark when you left the theater. I know maybe it’s a trend in Hollywood right now to make movies that have potential to do a sequel, but the first one is not even worth of watching, why the hell I wanna watch no. 2.

Big Bang!
I know this band when their ‘reality show’ airing on MTV

And i'm so sick of love songs (yeah)
I hate them damn love songs... moment of ours
verse1
(거짓말) gojimal
늦은 밤 비가 내려와 널 데려와 젖은 기억 끝에 뒤척여 나
nesin bambiga neryowa nol dearyowa choten kiok ketea dwuichikyo na
너 없이 잘 살 수 있다고 다짐 해봐도 어쩔 수 없다고

못하는 술도 마시고 속타는 맘 밤새 채워봐도
mothanen suldo masigo soktanen mambamsea chehwabwado
싫어 너 없는 하루는 길어 빌어 제발 잊게 해달라고,, (거짓말이야)
silho no obsnen harunen kilo bilo chebal itge hedalrogo (kojilmaliyo)
너 없는 내겐 웃음이 보이지 않아 / 눈물조차 고이지 않아
no obsnen negen usemi boiji onha / nunmuljocha koiji onha
더는 살고 싶지 않아,,
donen salgo sipji onha
엿같애 열받게 니 생각에 돌아버릴것 같애
yotgate yolbadge no senggake dolabolilgot kate
보고 싶은데 볼 수가 없데 모두 끝났데 I'll be right there
bogo sipende bol suga obde modu ketnalde

홧김에 나도 모르게 널 떠나보냈지만

그댈 위해서 불러왔던 내 모든 걸 다 바친 노래,
kedel woheso bulrowatdon ne moden kol da bachin nole
(아마 사람들은 모르겠죠) ama saramdelen molegetjyo
난 혼자,, 그 아무도 아무도 몰래,
nan honja ke amudo amudo molle
(그래 내가 했던 말은 거짓말) kele nega hetdon malen kojitmal
홀로 남겨진 외톨이, 그 속에 헤메는 내 꼴이,
hollo namkyojin wotoli, ke soke hemenen ne koli
주머니 속에 꼬깃꼬깃, 접어둔 이별을 향한 쪽지, (hey)
chumoni soke kokikokit, chabodun ibyolel hyanghan chokji

난 달라질래. 이젠 다 웃어넘길게.
nan nallajille ijen da usonomkelle

아직도 너를 못 잊어 아니 평생을 가도 죽어서까지도
ajikdo nolel mot ijo ano pyongsengel kado chugosokachido
내가 준 상처 아물었는지 미안해 아무것도 해준게 없는 나라서

Thanks to ncentral10 for the track
This band start making headlines when they appears for the first time on Music Station last year. I'm so loving this band right now, but it's hard to get a copy of their music. Maybe you can search at yesasia.com, but its too costly for me. This song is called 'Crazy' from their lastest single 'Crazy' (well, not that new, as it is released late last year).
Anyway, just to slip in about The Amazing Race Asia 2 (TARA2), the finale was aired last week, and surprise surprise... the boys from Singapore is the winner! After most of the spoiler pointed the winner to Pam&Van, I feels a little bit disappointed but hey, as long as its not Marc&Ro. Nothing against them, it just they won most half of the leg (maybe more than that, I don't count) from TARA2, it nice someone else won for a change.... What I knew from TAR and TARA, stronger team (that usually won many legs) didn't win the race, ie Amber&Rob. The team that face many difficulties during the race, or always in 2nd, is usually the winner. I don't why, maybe is the 'karma' thing that they always talk about in TAR. Anyway, can't wait to TARA3...I just hope the teams this time will be from 'regular' people, if you know what I mean....

Driving left or right???
To my surprise, 66% of world populations from 164 countries are driving on the right side of the road while the rest of the world drive on the left side. I always thought that we ALL drive on the left side except US coz US always different like elevator and lift, soccer and football or…I can’t think of other example - fyi I learnt British English and my teacher always reminds us the differences between US English and British’s English. It turn out that I suck at world history and geography (and I live in a country used to be part of the British Empire)!
The reason why there is left and right side is base on the history of the world. Before horses and cars, people walk on the left side as they are carrying weapon (swords) on the left side and can be ready during attack. When there are a lot of horses being use as transportation, most country still use left until Americans use heavier, bigger and multiple horses with no right driver seat. So, the driver use left seat and therefore drive at the right side coz of safety. For other country, the occupation during war influences the traffic law and the decision on left or right. Road border also part of the reason to switch, for example Canada use to be left side but switch to right coz their road connected with US.
British and its ex-colonial empire (except Canada and some African country) plus Japan, Indonesia, Macau, Thailand and US Virgin Islands are left side country. Coz Malaysia was once part of British Empire, so we are driving on the left side. That’s basically the reason why we are driving on the left side of the road.
If you are a ‘geek’, busy body and always want to know about everything like me, you can go to these sites:

My Best Pal - TDrama
I watch this TDrama called ‘My Best Pal’ (I don’t know the Chinese title coz I don’t know Chinese nor I understand it) staring Ming Dao and Qian En. If you watch ‘The Prince Who Turn into a Frog’ drama, then you’ll remember them as this that makes them famous. I don’t have any high expectation about this drama, coz there is no hype about it in the net, but I gotta see this because of Ming Dao (he’s gorgeous ladies!!!). However, my prediction was right; this drama is a waste of my money!! Even Ming Dao can’t save it. I you want a clear summary go to this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ying_Ye_3_Jia_1 (I just found it on the net). But if you too lazy to click the link, then you have to read my unpleasant, poor English (I’m suck at grammar) and worst written review you’ve ever read.
‘My best Pal’ is about 4 bestfriends who grow up together in the same neighborhood and good with fighting skills. They are seniors at High School who’s dealing with bullied, groupies and love (ah…..), like any normal students, except it look like OVER THE TOP when it’s dramatized which is always the case with Taiwan drama (they called it ‘idol’ drama). I’m not gonna give you the complete detail of the story, just a few of my ‘words’, coz I, myself didn’t get to finish it, but I will in a few days (I have to, I pay for it!!!). The big bully is Dinosaur (don’t know if it the real name or the nick, I just follow the translation) who actually is son of ‘stupid’ senator who is hated by everyone (which is supposed to be impossible for him to be elected as senator). He is big, I mean BIG, that fits perfectly into the bully role, but scared to death with Summer (the girl in the group, 3 + 1, she is the 1, the one girl) and the other 3 guyz which is Ah Jiang, Fang Wei and Bulu, coz apparently the big bully can’t fight (what??? how come he become the bully, or he’s been bullied by them….ehm….). Make things short, the big bully want the fantastic 4 (coz they are 4, minus the super power) to be drop out of school so he can control (without scared) of the entire school. While this happen, Summer dad’s gun (he is a cop) is missing and the fan4 wants to play detective and helps to find it. Meanwhile, Fang Wei is in love with Summer, but Summer is in love with Ah Jiang and the principle’s daughter (forgot the name) is in love with Ah Jiang, but Ah Jiang unsure about his own feeling. But finally Ah Jiang realized he’s loves Summer. While he’s waiting for the ‘right’ time to tell her, the fugitive prisoner hides in the haunted building in the school. Coz I keep fastforward the disk, I don’t know exactly what happen, but the fugitive take Summer hostage and Ah Jing got shot while trying to save her. Ah Jiang life is in great danger, but this is a TV series and Ming Dao is the lead, there is no way he’s gonna die. So, Ah Jiang lives, but there is a new character that will be involved between Summer and Ah Jiang. This guy is an old childhood crush of Summer, who is living with Summer’s family after his parents died during a shooting that involved Summer’s dad. He is now a detective, handsome and rich man. I don’t know what’s come after that coz I stop watching it (for a while). But I can predict what happened; Ah Jiang and Summer fights for a while coz you can’t just make it happily ever after for the rest of the series (it’s not the way of making TV series, fight first and then make up), a detective acts as the third person in Ah Jiang and Summer relationship, all the bad guyz finally caught and go to hell (or whatever, but MUST something bad happen to them) and in the end, the detective will WILLINGLY let Summer go to Ah Jiang. THE END!
I told you this is the worst reviews ever!!!
I have to rush coz I’m all alone in my office now, so that’s why I keep it short.

TV on Tuesday
‘Damages’ is next, but while it’s on break I switch to Oprah. So I end up miss a few scene and planning to watch it again on weekend.
The best show that I’ve seen last night is Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. It actually a repeat show coz its air first on Sunday. I love Tony; I watch him since his A Cook’s Tour days… But I always miss his show coz he has sooo many reruns from previous season that I got confuse with his latest season’s original run. Now I know the repeat on Tuesday and I can’t wait what he will be doing next week.
I have no idea what’s interesting tonight. I just watch my usual playlist; ‘My lucky star’, switching between channel and ‘Air City’.

TV on Monday
At 6pm, I randomly watch ‘Larry King Live’ which in my surprise they put the ‘live’ (live for them delayed for us) telecast of the Golden Globe press conference. It’s a weird award show… Anyway, I don’t want to comment about that; you can read it on net and it is cover all over the news. But I’m happy to see Jonny Depp won and very disappointing Hugh Laurie didn’t (I’m ‘House’ fan, da….). I’ve not seen most of the nominated movie and TV shows, and I don’t think I get to see it (‘Not commercial enough’ to get a run in local cinema). So, it’s hard for me to actually ‘predict’ the winners, I just go with my favourite…hehehehe
After Larry King, it’s my usual weekdays show; ‘My lucky star’ on 8TV, which I slept through out the show (cause I didn’t get proper sleep last nigh due to stomachache). It is not a bad show, it just like any Taiwanese series, too cute, too over the top but still OK to watch….sometime…if nothing else on TV which is really nothing at that time. Besides my housemate enjoy watching that show…
I watched ‘The Amazing Race’ at 9 on AXN which is one of my ‘top-to-watch’ list shows. I’m routing for TK and Rachel during this leg, just because I hate to see ‘the bickering’ (Jen and forgot the guy name) couple fight again. Early in the leg, they always look fine, but as the leg progress with pressure from TK and Rachel they start to fight again! Well, they get eliminated anyway, da…. Take a cab! What the hell they are doing?? Don’t you watch TAR before…cab always faster (and safe)… I’m hoping Terri and Henry finally got eliminated in TARA. Come on… how many chances you have to give to them??? It’s obvious they will be last, again….
Finally to end my night (actually it’s not the end, I switching between ‘Air City’ on ch 324 and KBS world entertainment show, the VJs are funny man!) is House. I’m a big fan of House!! It’s my no. 1 show; way up Grey’s and Lost. It’s funny to see House replace his ‘3 assistant’ with the passengers. Hugh Laurie always great but why they always find the ‘real answers’ when they finally want to cut someone??? House is ready to operate a man suspected of carrying drug and the team wants to cut a hole in the woman brain, when suddenly they figure out that’s not the solution with the help of a little ‘action’ and words. I’ve seen a few episode of House with similar style in the end and it bored me. But still LOVE my ‘HOUSE’!!!
What’s on tonight? Maybe I watch ‘cruel love’ on KBS world coz it’s so tragic and nothing interesting on during that time. ‘Damages’ is next on my list, it a new show and has a very good pilot. Heroes start next week!!!
