This is more of a rant than an informational and intellectual post containing interesting data. Coz I never stop wondering why I never win.



We play Scrabble every once in awhile. but dono why we suddenly so heng wanna beat our own high scores.



I've seriously proven to myself that it's actually not a game for me, coz my vocabulary sucks and I can never figure out the best alternative to get the best points. But in the end it's probably just for the shugalaga of laughing at what kinda stupid words we can claim that exist, and to use up all our tiles on our tray to get that extra 50 points.

Now for those of you who've never played scrabble before, lemme give you a brief rule of play.


I'll tell you later why it's WTF

1. A maximum of four players each draw 7 tiles out of a bag.
2. Each turn, the player has to try and get the highest possible points, using the points marked on the tiles, aided with multiplier boxes on the board.
3. Words can only be formed rightwards or downwards, and must be formed utilizing letters from other existing words placed on the board.
4. [Double Letter Score] and [Triple Letter Score] are priority to [Double Word Score] and [Triple Word Score] in counting the points for a word.
5. Who scores the highest points wins!

So let's take an example.



Let's say I can make the word above. As self-explanatory as it can be, the points are calculated by multiplying the D with [Double Letter Score] first, subsequently adding all the other letters' points, and finally multiplying the total with [Double Word Score].

So that'll be [ (2 x 2) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 ] x 2 = 16.

Savvy?

So let's get back to the WTF.



Sam made this word the other day.

I guess I don't have to calculate that for you. all i can say is WTF?!

Sam did that. SAM.

As in LEE KES SAM.

Then sommore after the game he go play with my drinking glass chess set.



Seriously lor. I alreardy damn

him now.

But anyway, it's good la. Gives me a sense of COMPETITION. To beat these three retarded stooges.

Had my Financial Management paper today. Stupid bozo. I get half of a pass also happy.

Audit paper tomorrow!

And something for me to finish after that.

But you still can go out at night and waste your time walking around the streets. Haih. Kids nowadays.



Anyway, nothing interesting here, Jeffrey, Janning, Lynn and I met up for a banana leaf at Bangsar, just to hang out with Jeff, before he leaves for Ireland.



Ah this is so boring. Nowadays I have no idea why i'm running out of ideas of blogging ideas.

But HAH! I know what I can do to spice up my blog!

I can act like...

smashpop!








The service there wuz not so good. So we left early and went to TTDI Plaza!



The Plaza iz behind the Titanic Pub in near IBM Taman Tun. Titanic Pub is Jote's parents' pub. Go there and try the food for a change!



The Entrance is reli nice. Very corourfoo!






It wuz very nice place but some ppl said it was only for 21 and over. So we walked out sadly and did some...

posing!






We also did our usual activity... jumping!



Then Jeffrey wanted to try a solo.



But nobody can beat the entrepreneur, can they?

Last Sunday, we took my dad out for dinner at Tony Roma's Cineleisure Damansara to celebrate his birthday. The last time we visited the place, we rated the food and service quite well, since it had just recently opened at that time, but as months passed by, the quality of the restaurant had inevitably plunged through my perspective.



debfong.blogspot.com is surely gonna pound me for saying this, but frankly speaking, Tony Roma's at Cineleisure Damansara is lousy. I mean, if you wanna find out whether it's seasonal or inherent, why don't you go and make yourself a fake food critic i.d, bring a notebook and a pen and a video camera, and go there wearing a full pin-stripe suit, like Anton Ego in Ratatouille. Yes, that dark, evil-looking, powerful man who is very very

So anyway, let's do a quick review.


Beef & Vegetable Soup, Fried Mushroom, Chicken Club Salad

Firstly we ordered the Soup of the Day which was a Beef & Vegetable Soup. As we were ordering, here's how it went.

Koko: So how big is the soup?

Waitress: We have a cup and bowl.

Koko: Oh, okay, uhm... The cup is for... one person? Then the bowl? How big a portion is it?

Waitress: The bowl? the bowl is for sharing la.

Koko: Urm... yea... sharing... but.... how many people is it for?

Waitress: It's for sharing la. Sharing.

(WAHAHAHA I WANTED TO ROFL ALREADY MAN)

So okay, minus one point for communication clarity.



We also ordered the Fried Mushroom which was personally my favourite. Especially with the mustard sauce, it was an scrumptious starter.

As for the Chicken Club Salad which came in a supergynormousfragilistic portion, well, I can't say much coz I ate too much of that, and it spoiled my Grilled Chicken. So, that was my fault.



BUT ANYWAY.

Throughout our visit, as we asked for extra empty plates, drink refills, and the final bill, the staff seemed to be very unfriendly and ignorant towards our table, as far as I know.

For a restaurant with those kind of prices, they were being quite unpleasing, perhaps mildly insincere when serving us.

I should go make a new shop sign for them.



Anyway, I'm not saying it's a terrible place to go to. It's perfectly fine, but maybe I went on a wrong day. So please go and try it out for yourself and tell me how your stay was.

This goes out to another good buddy of mine, Yap Chee Seng.





I don't want to imagine what he'll do once he gets on it.

Remember when we could order cold/hot/plain water for free in a restaurant. Well, times have greatly changed the way the food and beverage business works since then.

I was shuffling through my drawers full of old junk and I spotted this.





Yes, you've guessed it. "We wish inform that...". Haih. Malaysians and their English.

And some more, they must add the "++" to the RM0.50. Make them seem like they're food isn't all that good, until they have to charge for the more ordered items. Like hot(boiled) water.

The family and I went for the usual snorkeling day trip around the surrounding miniature islands of Tioman. But this time it was more interesting for my brothers and I since we developed a little diving skill from scratch. But we didn't do with all the equipment la, just the goggles, a pair of flippers and our swimming trunks.



After going island hopping, the boat trip took us back to the main island, where there was a signboard saying "Selamat Datang ke Jeti Pusat Taman Laut". Which, actually kinda got me a little excited.



I always had an impression of a Marine Park being a giant aquarium with all the sharks, sting rays and weird-ass fish swimming around in it, and upstairs of the 'park', there would be a small stadium with dolphin and seal shows every 2 hours.

So I was jumping in excitement, "where is the marine park, mom?! where is it?! I wanna go see!"



And she replies, "It's here lah, boy. do you want to snorkel sommore? go take your goggles and jump in la."



Wuddaheck?!

What kinda bumpus marine park is this?! Sheesh. whatever la. Now I know not to go to any marine park for that kinda thing. But anyway, I got to practice a little deeper diving. Fooh. syok eh.

about 20 feet down okei!


He qualifies to have Thunder Thighs

And I realized that fish actually bite you if you don't keep moving around. No wonder they wear diving suits down there. Or maybe it's because they think we come from the same family as dried bread.



After a tiring morning of paddling and having goggle marks around my eyes, I decided to get some lunch around the nearby stalls at shore. That's when I came across an exciting showdown between a meow and a slurp.











Dayumn, even animals have gejala sosial nowadays.

So anyway, I continued walking through a row of food stalls, souvenir shops and duty-free counters. And I spotted this.



I got a shock of my life and quickly whipped out my camera, when I noticed that I was foolish enough to miss out the whole thing.



Heh. Thought what the hell it was. But can you imagine ar.

If it was actually real.




"Oh man, you're in luck. Last one's in the back. But she wants 750 Rupees an hour. Nothing less."
