U.S. of A!

i have returned from the long awaited holiday! The family and I took a lovely week and a half long vacation to the states which was enjoyable at most points, but urghhhh so annoying at some minor parts of it. The trip there for instance, took about 2 days of flight time, stopping firstly at Singapore where we had to wait for 7 whole hours at Changi Airport but that wasnt too bad, specially with the amount of thigns to do with the internet and cinema and DUTY FREE SHOPPINGGG. even the smoking garden has sunny yellow sunflowers staring back at you. relaxing!

7 hours later, off to TOKYOOOO. we had another transit at Nagita Airport and that was my first time being on Japanese soil! The Japanese are soooooo clean to a point i felt rather freaked out by it all. Mother was amused at how the tiny cars looked like toys haha the staff, to me, were like litle robots as i watched them refuel the plane and clear the baggage and stuff. they work so efficiently! apart from that, while waiting i actually had genuine japanese made sushi! it was rather sick to be honest. since i didnt know how to speak japanese i couldnt tell them what i wanted so i ended up buying this box full of weird sushi and i have no idea what happened at the counter as the woman mumbled something in japanese really fast, and all of a sudden i was given some money back and i was just stood there like ummmm thank you? walked off in disbelief as i had no idea whether she gave me the right amount of change or even the right kind of sushi and all that. so yea. LANGUAGE. IMPORTANT.

Finally, after 2 days of travelling we arrived at LAX, the world reknowned airport and i hated this part the most of the holiday. can you believe they bloody stooped me for "further interrogation" and i was thinking okkk right sure. " mind me asking what thsi is all for? " and the immigration guy smiles and goes " oh dont worry its just a random check. everyone goes through it :)" and the secodn i entered the interrogation waiting room, i see a room full of Asians and i think to myself " hmmm random. o yea sure....." so it came to my turn and they asked me all sorts of silly questions! how tall was i? my eye colour? my intentions in the states, where ill be staying, my parents occupations bla bla. and to top it all of, i had to do it 3 times cause the stupid american system doesnt work properly cause theyre proper shit and kept deleting my information. i swear the americans are paranoid to fuck. 2 hours i was stuck there! ridicolous.

ok skip all that, we finally were allowed out of the airport! first thing that struck me, the gigantic Chevrolet Tahoe which is absolutely mind blowingly huge right, and i looked around and saw all these american cars which were a mammoth of a size! and i thought wowwwww damn! i have fallen in love with the Tahoe and Escalade i must say. never saw the big deal bout them, but i do now. WOWWWWWW!

Visited the Walk of Fame where those stars on the sidewalk are, for further photos, do visit my facebook album when it gets uploaded. so yea i saw loads of names which i recognized! Johnny Depp, Godzilla, Muhammad Ali, all that jazz. went to the famous Chinese Theater where they host the premieres and stuff. that was pretty ace. had all the celebrities footprints and handprints! the cast of Harry Potter and Will Smith and Donald Duck even! 

During the daytime, the walk would be filled with people! even people in costumes dressed up as famous characters! i took photos with Batman, Darth Maul, Vader and a Storm Trooper, even Captain America and Michael Jackson! speaking of celebs, we went to Target for grocery shopping and at the counter, we saw Diane Keaton! she looks better in life than on tv! shes so tall and i must say for her age, she doesnt look too bad!

after 3 days of being in Hollywood, only then did we manage to discover the infamous Hollywood sign on the hills. youd think youd see it the second you arrive in Hollywood but nope. looked for 3 days till we found it haha. 

Spent 4 days in Hollywood till we moved to San Diego to Welk Resort. Welk Resort is coming up in the next post! 

The Need To Ramble

Have you ever had that? Im actually undergoing this outrageous feeling of wearyness and sheer kepenatan! i have no idea why but its bout 10 to 1 am and im never usually this shattered!

I shall not delve in deeper details of my escapades but basically ive had a rather long day. and misses Farah cause i would looooove for her to fix my back for me as it is just killing me. ive forgotten how this feels like as i used to always experience this back during semester days. my back would be aching cause id be so stressed out and so bloody knackered. farah would sit on me and with her titanic of a  weight fix my ever so aching back. ive tried teaching my brothers but they dont weigh enough. bless them. cept maybe for Dany but hes a tank hell probably crush me instead of fix me. 

Im Tired. 

yet im still writing. I think deep down inside, im trying to see how long i can last? cause well my eyes are burning and i keep on re-reading what ive just written trying to make sense of it. im finding it dificult.

I heard this one time that a guy actually DIED due to lack of sleep. apparently your heart stops functioning or some kinda bollocks. im not sure if i believe it but im quite worried. with a hint of excitement which is probably why im staying up instead of resting. maybe id die. maybe i wouldnt. wow adrenalin...

ok my minds thinking about Iron Man now. do you think he ever gets tired? with that awesome battery glowing heart of his? why would he ever need rest? does the battery itself get tired you think? i dont know. these things are just in my head.

i think im done. to be frank thres a ton of mess in my head right and i cant pick soemthing to ramble on about. IM TIRED I SAID.

im off. anyone wanna meet up in Dreamland? gimme a ring. 013 335 2880.

Night  x x x x

President Elect Barack Obama

I have an intense impression that a fresh wind will drift into the Washington air upon his arrival, that he will be a president of a new generation.

Plus i think anybody who has been in GQ and runs for president, gets my vote. congratulations my man. now lead the way.

I want my Neo :(

All I wanted were some McShaker Fries :(

I drove to the McDonalds in Subang to find that they were out of stock.

I drove to the McDonalds in Subang Parade to find that they were out of stock.

I drove to the McDonalds in Centrepoint Bandar Utama to find that they were out of stock.

All I wanted were some McShaker Fries :(

Science Proves Exotic Cars Turn Women On

A study commissioned by a phallically named insurance company proves beyond all doubt that the unbridled roar of an Italian supercar turns women on but the soft purr of a fuel-efficient econobox doesn't stimulate anyone's MPG-spot.

David Moxon subjected 40 men and women to the sounds of a Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari, then measured the amount of testosterone in their saliva. He found everyone had higher levels of the stuff -- a measure of their arousal -- after hearing the revving exotics, but the amount the women had was off the charts.

The econobox, however, left everyone colder than a January day in Nome.

The study was commissioned by the ultra-exclusive British insurer Hiscox (we swear we're not making this up), which was curious to know how people respond to high-end luxury cars. "We knew owners of luxury cars felt a connection with the sound of their vehicles," says Steve Langan, managing director of the insurance company. "We have now scientifically proven the physical attraction people feel when it comes to cars."

To test the theory that high-performance cars get people hot, Moxon had 40 men and women  listen to recordings of the three Italian exotics and a Volkswagen Polo. Everyone had significantly more testosterone after hearing the exotics, and all of the women were turned on by the Maserati. The guys, on the other hand, were drawn to the Lamborghini.

“We saw significant peaks in the amount of testosterone in the body, particularly in women," Maxon says, noting that even women who said they had no interest in cars were turned on. "Testosterone is indicative of positive arousal in the human body so we can confidently conclude from the results out today that the roar of a luxury car engine actually does cause a primeval physiological response.”

As for the Polo? Everyone had less testosterone after listening to it. That means the acceleratus interruptus of a Prius going all-electric in traffic is automotive equivalent of skin flicks starring previous secretaries of state, despite General Motors' claim that nearly nine out of 10 women would rather talk to a guy in a hybrid than a Porsche.

after the meal ill go have a cigarette before signing online and checking whose worth talking to. usually at this time, noone is so i just leave it on. ill then wander round my house looking for soemthing to do.....and USUAL. nothing. so ill go outside talk to my cat Tigra for a bit, play with Popstar for a bit...shes Tigras friend by the way, she just hangs round the house.

Josh-Oooowah Turns 21

This post is a a bit out date and late but yea "abang ku" Josh turned 21 few days ago. well he hasnt actually turned 21 but his celebration was a few days ago along with his sisters.





It was a nice reception, with Ricky Martin blasting out the speakers, pink balloons and 12 year olds running around everywhere : for Josh, we stuck around. At least the food was good. his mothers a legend! cooked absolutely everything and there were a lot! shepherds pie, pasta, sandwiches everything!





few hours later, boredom kicked in and so we decided that this wasnt the way for Josh to celebrate his 21st birthday, his coming into manhood and hopefully the losing of his virginity. Or so he says. OFF TO HERITAGE ROW!!!


Pre-celebration, we decided to get soem beers from Kamals place and boy were they cheap. 3 cans for Rm11.50! bargain. the only downside was that they were warm. so yea drinking it wasnt pleasent but hey! cheapness!

A few kilometers filled with spilled beer and sing songs later, arrived at Mojo at Heritage and decided to chill outside. Atmosphere was fun as it was saturday, plenty of drunkards out and about, espeically at 12am! Reuben werent so happy as he got the shit seat of the house, behind a tree, obstructing his view of the "birds".......Ruby Ruby haha

All in all, good night Id say, we finally got Josh drunk of tequila shots and got soem "truths" out of him, the boys had a drinking competition of which i tied with Kamal and yea! seemed like a good night. seemed like the perfect break amidst all the work.


Now though, back to reality.

Superhero.

The following tale is based on a true story...

It was approximately 2am when Val, Ogaba and I decided to go for a late night drink since we were so tired to continue doing anymore work. We all took our stuff and headed out the door towards the elevator.

In we stepped, and Val pressed the "SB" button on the elevator, and the doors begin to close on us.













The doors, as usual shut at a glacial pace....inch by inch.....













and another inch.....















when all of a sudden it comes to a halt with still about 4 inches more to go. All three of us looked at each other in disbelief and quickly realised. fuck. The elevators fucked.

We panicked and wondered what to do! SUDDENLY the elevator shakes violently and we hear a snapping sound?! We fell to the floor due to the sudden pulling forces of gravity. suspense.....

we could hear the screaking noises of the lift scraping against the walls! WE WERE FALLING!!!!

At that moment I felt a gigantic hand grab my arm and lifted me up as Ogaba smashed the ceiling of the lift! It blew to pieces and we looked up at dismay to the long shaft of the whole 20 floors of SRI CENDEKIA LIFT!!!

Ogaba then mightyfully threw me up and alongside me i saw Val crying in her tears of fear....I quickly grabbed her by the waist with my left arm and grabbed onto the cable. The weight of both of us pulled us down but with my superhuman like strength, i caught on and hung onto the cable for dear life.

We both looked down underneath our feet to see the elevator crashing down at great speed and that was the momumental historic second of that we realised.....OG had noway of escaping....Doomed.

A fiery explosion emerged from below and we....








nah im kidding. the real story was just that we got stuck in the lift for bout 15 minutes till the guard came and got us out. haha. pretty cool story though dont you think hehe.

Reminiscing.

Boredom kills. I was laid in bed surfing the internet, constantly refreshing Facebook and researching on "Geodesic Domes" for my Structures assignment, bored out of my skull when a notification bar popped out of my taskbar and it read "belllllllllllllllllllllllllll"

i swear my smile went from my left ear to my right ear it was that big. I think I couldve even given The Joker a run for his mouth! despite the fact i havent even seen the bloody movie. I want to so much!!!!

anyways yea onto what i was going to talk about, which is my BabyBellllllllllllllllllllllllll :)

For those of you that dont ALREADY know her, shes the apple of my eye, my reason for jumping over the moon and not eating, and any other cheesy lines you can think of!

Her actual name is Aimee and i think youll be hearing alot of her in the future, but yea here she is! we like cheese :) there isnt a single time where i can listen to Gwen Stefani's "Cool" without being reminded of her. or Kylie Minogue for that matter.....or The Killers.....or watching Devil Wears Prada......or Superman.....wow the list just goes on and on..she heavily affects my working routine darn you Bell. but its okay :D

shes gonna hate me so much for posting this photo. she WILL suggest a different photo of her preference and be like omg i look bogeyed or some random reason cause shes like that. which i love so much :)

A bestfriend, Lover, Partner in Crime, Quiltayyy buddy, Popcorn Pal, MSN Mate, and Texting darling, shes everything.

Its just such a shame that shes so far away from me right now.......oh the things i would do....

hey! we meet again! i just realised wow itd be so weird reading about someone and not knowing what they look like. Well, not to surprise all ya'll with the beauty at once, ill just give you little tiny peeks of me to begin with okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay? haha im kidding. well maybe not. nah im kidding. im vain as phuck so get used to it :) i mean no harm though haha.

as seen below in the visual, haha wait i just got reminded of something funny heehee. anyways yea as seen below is a little peek at what i may look like. Shaen will leave the rest to thou imaginationssssssss. This photo was taken at Mont Kiara if im not mistaken, just outside the newly opened club "Raw". It was Indie Night, and boy was i ecstatic. Never before in Malaysia have i heard Bloc Party, Kasabian, MGMT, and Pulp being played at one exclusive venue. i miss the English scene. aaaah for those of you wondering...........





















ill keep you wondering.

Shaen Begins

Greetings world. My name is Ungku Shaen Azraei Ungku Melewa. i am 18 years of age, and an Architecture student at University College Sedaya International.

That sentence pretty much sums me up in whole, as there isnt much about me really. My studies takes up most of my time, whether i like it or not. As a student, i spend a heck of a lot of time on the internet. Facebook more like, and as i was browsing through my friend Farah's page, i came across her blog of which i found to be extremely fun to read! Partly due to the fact that I was a prominent character in her daily life so it was kinda fun reading bout yourself heeheee.

After reading a years worth of blogs from my lovely companion RaRa, i have decided that I too! shall have a blog. Still uncertain of what i shall write about, i will embark on this journey wihout any sense of direction and just go with the flow!

i feel the sudden need to inform the world of my daily routines, my friends, my plans, my whatever! so for any of you interested in my life, feel free to keep checking as i will try my very best to regularly update my blog :)

Time is running out and i have to finish this thing up as Farah is demanding for my URL. which at the moment im not sure of so i have to rush this up and find out. somehow.....

I bid you adieu! for now.
