Yesterday i followed Weng Chong, Bernard and Wendy to Sunway to watch Beowulf. First of all the new Sunway building looked sucky and it’s as though they did it in rush and couldn’t come out with a better design. Of all the new/expanded shopping complexes i would say Pavillion had more appeal.

So now back to the movie, i am not giving out any spoilers but i have to say the movie would have been better if it was shot in real life. There’s just too much hype for this movie and if it wasn’t for the short jokes, i would have just slept off.

Final verdict -
Bernard: Wasted my 10bucks !
WengChong: I don’t even know what’s the story about
Wendy: ……
ME: At least we got to say Angelina Jolie topless in CG, i can say that was the only highlight. Hahaha.

I agreed with Woolala that so far nothing has come close to Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. I don’t even play the game nor know the characters but the movie had a great storyline and the graphics were magnifico. I just felt Beowulf tried too hard.

Personally i felt the name was funny altogether and i kept using the name Beowulf in anyway possible. Of course after a while it gets kinda lame.

Satay Beowulf anyone ?

Initially my ex-room mate, dranreb told me he purchased a lump of space from a server over in the US and asked if i would like some of it. I always wanted to run my own domain name, so satkuru.info was created. I never liked writing and i did the next best thing which was posting up pictures. This is where my trusty z800i came in and i took a whole load of pictures where ever i go. I do post up quite often and that’s how i started off my photoblog. The photoblog ran on an open source script which was easy to modify. 

After more than a year, i finally ended satkuru.info and shifted over to satkuru.com and that’s where i started typing, i mean really typing in entries -_-” I relied a lot on blogspot and that carried on for another year before finally settling for wordpress.I know i have been beating round the bush and haven’t given a real answer to the title. So the reasons I blog are for me to kill time and at the same time make new friends

It has been a while since i have blogged let alone surf the net. While blog hopping, i realized i was tagged by WuChing He wants to know if i had a time machine which year of my life would i like to return to.

The year would definitely be nineteen ninety four. Back then i was in primary four and i loved every single day because all of us played like there’s no tomorrow. We would play marbles, ‘lastik’-ing spiders, jengket, ‘toy’, eraser war every single day. When the guys get bored with these games, we would happily join the girls in their rubberband game, where you are suppose to jump over. Guys who matured earlier backed off cause their hairy legs wouldn’t stand the pain when the rubberband brushes along their legs.

But one thing i can vividly remember was my Maths teacher punishing those who had lower than the marks set by him before a certain exercise or test. He explained to us, if there’s 20 questions, everyone should get 18 and above or face the music. And when he said face the music, he meant for the guys, he will pull their sideburns upwards which is #%$@-ing pain. Yes yes i too went through that punishment. As for the girls, he would pull their cheeks apart and when i said cheeks, i meant the cheeks on the face and not the butt -_-”. The girls were more dramatic. They would cry before he even punishes them. The guys with their typical ego would be telling the rest that it didn’t hurt a bit

After a few weeks, less and less people had to go through the punishment and at the same time our class average marks for maths rose to an all time high. Of course if this were to happen in today’s school, the teacher would have been suspended or even sued

Nineteen ninety four was the year i chose if i had a time machine. What year will the following people choose ?

Belle
Wendy
SaeWei
JJZai
Desmond

I got tagged by Wendy. At first i thought of taking a break on tagging but this is different. Because it doesn’t involve much typing ! So what am i suppose to do ? I am suppose to show how my desktop looks like Here it is …

Nothing fancy to show

I would love to see the following people’s desktop:

Charng Yee

A few days back, i found out Desmond tagged me. This tag requires me to state 3 events, 2 birthdays and 1 holiday that shares the same date as my birthday. A simple check on wikipedia and tadaaa, all information needed was displayed in an organized manner

Three events that happened on the 10th of April:
1865 – The last photograph of Abraham Lincoln alive was taken.
1912 – The RMS Titanic leaves port in Southampton, England for her first and only voyage.
1970 – Paul McCartney announces that he’s leaving The Beatles.

Two birthdays on the 10th of April:
1973 – Roberto Carlos, Brazilian footballer
1984 – Mandy Moore, American singer/actress

One holiday on the 10th of April:
Satkuru’s day – Anyone with the name Satkuru is required to take a holiday -_-” Actually there’s one holiday which i found in wikipedia which is Feast for Three Days – Third Day (Thelema). I haven’t heard of it thus i made one up. How pathetic.

(Reword the following paragraph a little. The Monkey Wong link should be changed to link to who you got this from {me Satkuru}. Move the 5 new faves (one is you) to old faves below PapaJoneh. Add 5 new people to new faves. Each name linked to their blog, and Fave the site is the link on their technorati fave widget on their site. AND, name THE WHOLE POST DIFFERENT FROM MINE!) The time has come for me to get up on the Technorati Fave Train. I was added to the Technorati Fave Train by SaeWei the Prince Of CPR

So, do you want to ride the train?

Here are the rules:

1. Write a short introduction paragraph about what how you found the list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.

2. COPY the Rules and ENTIRE List below and post it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the amount of keywords your site can accessible for, go ahead and change the titles of the blog. Just don’t change the links of the blog.

3. Take “My New Faves” and move them into the “The Original Faves” list.

4. Add at least 3 Blogs that you’ve just added to your Technorati Favorites to the “My New Faves” section. Remember to also add the “Fave Me” link next to your new blogs (i.e. http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://www.yourdomain.com)

5. Add Everyone on this list to your Technorati Favorites List by clicking on “Fave the Site.” (Please FAVE EVERYONE on the List prior to posting the list or a Kitten will Die Alone in a Dark Alley Tonight).

Those who want good karma will fave you back. If not, you will for sure get the benefits of faves from the bloggers who continue this list after you.

July is definitely a month of Birthdays. July babies that i know off are Duncan, Chiaw Yin, Ming Chu, Lingster and Hwa Yinn. Happy Birthday to all July babies ! Did i miss out anyone else ?

And July is also a month of Tags & Memes. Here’s 1 tag from Sae Wei and one meme from David

So here goes

Ten things that I hate…..

1. Food you hate –> Anything that’s too spicy. You will see me cry
2. Fruits that you hate –> I got no idea
3. Veggies that you hate –> Bitter gourd, period.
4. Celebrities or people that you hate –> No one in particular
5. Event/Incident/Situation that you hate –> Traffic jams
6. TV Shows or Movies that you hate –> Anything shown on TV cause there’s too many Ads!
7. Type of Music that you hate –> Music that hurts my ears
8. Household chore that you hate –> Cleaning the rain gutters but someone has to do it
9. Things you hate about the world –>Anything that’s against humanity …. i don’t even know what i just said. Those typical problems like pollution, killing each other for cooking oil, …. you get the drill.
10. Things that you hate about yourself –> Eating non stop.

Those were the top 10 things i hate and now i am gonna attempt a charity meme from David

1. To love someone is to make sure you are there when she needs you the most.
2. Money makes me and my wallet fatter.
3. Nothing makes me happier than eating two bowls of ice kacang on a hot Sunday afternoon.
4. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could travel back in time?
5. I smile when i see girls ever possible
6. Money is not everything but you will still need it at the end of the day.
7. If you want to do this meme, then you have to copy this whole meme and paste it in your blog.
   
8. My way of saying I care is by listening and giving concrete feedback.
9. Friendship is always taken for granted.
10. A person is only as good as she wants herself to be. (David i can’t think of any other)
11. I try to spread love and happiness by singing. (Yes people, i sing ! Whether it’s good or not, it’s another thing all together -_-”)
    
12. When I was thirteen, what I remember the most was seeing my class monitor being shoved to the wall by some gangsters. P/S: I was the assistant monitor and i did nothing. Every man for himself
13. I miss home.
14. When I am happy, i go window shopping. When i am too happy, i open my fat wallet and shop.
    
15. The best thing I did yesterday was sms-ing to Singapore & Indonesia and there goes my phone bill.
16. One thing I must do before I die is have lots of grandchildren, ahem.
17. Doing this meme, I feel like i am running out of ideas. Basically David has already mentioned a few things that i would have said. Obviously i am not just gonna leave the same thing as he wrote.

I wasn’t planning to pass this tagplusmeme to anyone but i changed my mind in the end. So i pass this on to -blackmartini-
